In Jinling City, Xie Zong was originally full of joy waiting for the arrival of Laihu'er, in his imagination, Laihu'er must be full of joy after receiving the surrender, rewarding the whole army must be indispensable, and the wine and food used by the army must be provided by them, and he secretly poisoned the wine offered, taking the opportunity to annihilate the Sui army.

"Father, father, something is wrong!"

Just as Xie Zong was in reverie, Xie Xiong suddenly burst in in a hurry and said breathlessly, "Father, something is wrong!" ”

Xie Zong frowned and said unhappily, "What's the matter?" In a hurry? What is your demeanor? ”

Xie Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "Father, Lai Hu'er led an army of 50,000 to storm Jinling City, and the two city defense camps outside the city have all been lost!" ”

"What?"

Xie Zong's eyes widened, he looked at Xie Xiong in surprise, and when he saw Xie Xiong nodding affirmatively, he immediately scolded.

"Come to protect the old thief, we have already submitted the surrender table, and he still dares to do it, isn't he afraid of being drowned by the spittle of the people in the world?"

Xie Xiong snorted and said, "Father, Laihu'er claims that he has obtained reliable information, saying that we are deceitful and want to take the opportunity to poison him..."

Bang!

Xie Xiong fortunately didn't finish speaking, Xie Zong had already thrown the saucer in his hand to the ground with hatred, and said with a hideous face: "Bastard, who is it, who leaked this matter?" ”

Xie Xiong had never seen such an angry father, and he was almost frightened, and said tremblingly: "Father, apart from our own family, I am afraid that the only person who knows about this is Uncle Zhang Shi?" ”

"Zhang Kun!" Xie Zong gritted his teeth and said, "I have a lot of heart for you, I didn't expect you to betray me!" ”

Rao is no matter how cunning Xie Zong is, he would not have thought that this was just a reason for Laihu'er to make up casually, and he naturally put the target of suspicion on Zhang Kun, who conspired with him, when he decided to leak secrets!

After hesitating for a long time, Xie Zong turned his head and said murderously to Xie Xiong: "Xiong'er, you immediately gather all the soldiers and horses that can be summoned now, and wash the Zhang family in blood, I can't be better, and he Zhang Kun shouldn't think about it!" ”

"The child obeys!"

Half an hour later, Xie Xiong led hundreds of private troops to surround Zhang Kun's mansion.

After Zhang Kun himself heard about this, the second monk was puzzled, and immediately went out of the mansion, and said to Xie Xiong with a smile: "What does this mean by the virtuous nephew?" ”

"What do you mean?"

Xie Xiong snorted coldly, "Old horseman, you colluded with the Sui army to cause our Xie family's plan to fall short, what do you dare to say?" As he spoke, he slashed the steel knife in his hand towards Zhang Kun's neck.

Burst~

Zhang Kun didn't expect Xie Xiong to suddenly burst out and kill people, and he was suddenly cut off by a knife, his eyes were full of astonishment, he didn't understand why Xie Xiong wanted to kill him!

Xie Xiong stabbed Zhang Kun, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he pointed at the steel knife and shouted: "Kill it, no matter the old, weak, women and children, no one will be left!" ”

"Kill!"

Hundreds of private soldiers of the Xie family flocked into Zhang's mansion, although there were also guards in Zhang's mansion, but Xie Xiong brought all the warriors who had just been transferred from the army, all of them were like wolves and tigers, and they killed these families in an instant.

Because of Xie Xiong's killing order, after these Xie family's private soldiers entered the Zhang Mansion, they would kill men, women, and children, as long as they were people. In just a quarter of an hour, more than 200 members of the Zhang family fell into a pool of blood, and the entire Zhang Mansion was surrounded by a thin layer of blood mist, and the strong smell of blood was pungent!

However, the Zhang family, as a top scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, also has a lot of influence in the army. After several surviving members of the Zhang clan escaped from Zhang's mansion, they quickly found Zhang Zheng, the son of Zhang Kun, who served in the army.

After Zhang Zheng learned of the tragedy of his family, he was saddened and immediately summoned the Zhang family's private army to rebel, and killed the Xie family in Jinling City.

After Yuan Fa, the head of the Yuan family, learned the reason for the scuffle, he was suddenly furious, "Okay, you Xie Zong, you dare to scare me, if you really poison General Laihu'er, will I have a good life in the future?" Order the children of the Yuan family to quickly support the Zhang family's subordinates, and kill Xie Zong, an old thief, for me! ”

The strength of the Zhang family was originally inferior to that of the Xie family, coupled with the fact that the head of the family was dead and the people's hearts were disheartened, many people chose to wait and see, so the Zhang family's private army was defeated by the Xie family in the city.

However, because of the Yuan family's assistance, the Zhang family's momentum increased greatly, and the three forces fought in the city, and many small families were also forced to get involved, and the melee continued. There are also many stragglers who bravely take advantage of the chaos to break into people's houses, ** women, greedy for property, and do all kinds of evil, which makes the situation in the city even more chaotic.

After the first failure of the siege, Laihu'er rested for an hour and relaunched the offensive, but this time, Laihu'er took the city gate with almost no effort, and after catching a few defeated soldiers and asking the reason, Laihu'er's face twitched, his eyes were dull for a long time, and his heart was speechless for a while.

"Is this really providential? An excuse I made up casually turned out to come true, and it also caused this group of thieves to kill each other, and the destiny of heaven must be in my Great Sui! ”

At this moment, Lai Hu'er's eyes were full of firmness, and he ordered loudly: "Brothers, kill me, kill all this ** thief for me!" ”

"Brothers, kill!"

Although Laihu'er has a high prestige in the army, there are still many sergeants who are skeptical about this matter, which has been verified in the mouths of Sergeant Chen at this moment, and they are all filled with righteous indignation, brandishing weapons and swarming in, wantonly killing Chen Jun in the city to vent their resentment.

For a time, more than 40,000 indignant soldiers poured into the city like a tide, and slaughtered all the way from the south gate to the center of the city.

Although Lai Hu'er planned to sweep the southern scholars in one fell swoop and wash Jinling with blood, he did not intend to harm the people in the city, and he took strict military discipline several times along the way, and also sent troops from time to time to inspect the occupied areas to protect the people and clean up those stragglers who tried to take the opportunity to burn and loot. This move made the people in Jinling City quite grateful, and many people even led the way for the Sui army to important strategic targets such as armories and granaries.

Lai Hu'er personally led 5,000 elite armor soldiers to the puppet palace in Jinling City, where Yuan Fa, Zhang Zheng and Xie Zong and others fought the main battlefield, Yuan Fa Lao saw Lai Hu'er from afar, and immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, "Come to the general, villain Yuan Fa, wait for the Great Sui Heavenly Soldiers for a long time!" ”

"Really?"

Laihu'er laughed fiercely, and the spear in his hand stabbed out, piercing Yuan Fa's entire body, and quickly pulled out the spear and immediately shouted, "Kill, no matter who it is, don't leave a single one!" ”

Although some of these people may have surrendered sincerely, these scholars are more concerned about their own interests, and they can surrender to the Sui Dynasty today, and they will secretly communicate with the Tang Dynasty tomorrow.
