Niu Jizong saw this momentum and knew that it was Jia Ke who was back, and now he only felt powerless, and a wave of despair surged from his heart.

But Niu Jizong couldn't show his expression, otherwise the soldiers on both sides would see these soldiers, and I was afraid that they would run away before the battle.

After Niu Jizong saw it at the head of the city, he immediately went down to the city tower, rode a war horse and went straight to the Zhongshun Palace.

When he arrived at the palace of the king of Zhongshun, he saw that the lights were bright inside, and the people were constantly coming and going, and at this time, the king of Zhongshun still did not rest, and worked hard to deal with the affairs of the capital there, wanting to leave a life for himself.

When Niu Jizong came in, King Zhongshun had already received the report, and he hurriedly ordered someone to let Niu Jizong meet in the study.

The two met in the study and saluted separately, and then the servant brought tea.

Niu Jizong couldn't wait to say: "Jia Ke's soldiers have returned, does the prince know?" ”

After hearing this, King Zhongshun nodded silently, "I have already heard the report from my subordinates. ”

"Then did the prince decide what to do next?"

After hearing this, King Zhongshun's face was full of firmness, "Now that the state crisis is the time for my generation to be loyal, the only way to defend the city is to be loyal to the country." ”

Niu Jizong was disappointed for a while after hearing this, he originally thought that the king of Zhongshun had some plans, no matter how bad he was, he could find a way to leave the capital and go to the south of the Yangtze River, but he didn't expect to let him defend the city desperately, it seems that the king of Zhongshun has been poor, if so, then for the sake of his life, do you have to think of a way?

King Zhongshun had also seen Niu Jizong's thoughts, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and then said to Niu Jizong: "General Niu is in charge of the military power of the capital, it can be said that we are also the head of this operation, Jia Ke doesn't know if he will let us go." ”

After listening to this, Niu Jizong understood what King Zhongshun meant, this is that King Zhongshun was afraid that he would desert, report to Jia Ke, and even take refuge in Jia Ke, so he was warning himself.

But now that I think about what King Zhongshun said, it makes sense, if he was Jia Ke, he would never let go of these people who participated in the rebellion when he had this chance of victory.

Niu Jizong's face turned blue when he thought of this, and it seemed that he could only go one way to the dark.

King Zhongshun knew that Niu Jizong's face had changed when he saw that he had understood the stakes of the matter.

"General Niu doesn't have to worry, now we have a million people in the capital, and there are hundreds of thousands of strong men, as long as we desperately defend the city, we can hold on for a while, and when the world is boiling, Jia Ke will have to compromise with us."

Niu Jizong was not optimistic about the idea of being loyal to the king, but he could only say in agreement: "The prince is thoughtful, then I will go out to rectify the soldiers and horses, Jia Ke wants to attack the city soon." ”

After Niu Jizong finished speaking, he didn't care about the loyal king, and left the study directly and went out of the house.

After Niu Jizong left, King Zhongshun's eyes immediately became gloomy, and at the same time, the hand holding the cup began to tremble a little.

King Zhongshun pretended to be calm in front of others, and when he was alone, he was often afraid, although when Jia Ke was not in the capital, they thought they had a plan, but once Jia Ke came back, they felt the huge pressure.

The only hope for the king of Zhongshun now is that the baby who was sent out of the palace can grow up safely and leave a root for his own line.

Not to mention that King Zhongshun is troubled here, let's just say that the other princes, nobles, and relatives in the capital are also in chaos now.

Since the incident, there has not been a smooth day, at the beginning, because the emperor and the king of Zhongshun had a quarrel, even the emperor was imprisoned, and then Fan Kang surrounded the capital, looking at the current situation, this time it was a complete failure.

So these people began to make their own calculations, and most of them just wanted to leave a root for their own vein.

And some of them have begun to look for a way around, those Wenchen who Jia Ke stayed in the capital, the king of Zhongshun did not do anything to them, and now these people's mansions have been broken through the threshold, all kinds of cherished gifts, gold and silver are constantly offered, just to let these people say a few good words in front of Jia Ke.

And after King Zhongshun got the news, he could only be silent, and now the tree is falling and scattered, and King Zhongshun does not dare to restrain these people too much, in case they are annoyed, and directly come to Jia Ke to make a reasonable agreement, then something really is wrong.

Besides, Jia Ke settled hundreds of thousands of soldiers outside the city, and then came to Fan Kang's Chinese army tent.

After Jia Ke entered the big tent of the Chinese army, he sat in the center, and the other generals lined up on both sides.

After that, Fan Kang first came out to hand over to Jia Ke, and then reported to Jia Ke in detail what happened in the capital during this time.

After Jia Ke listened, he was silent for a while and said, "Hearing you say this, it seems that the emperor did not participate in this turmoil. ”

As soon as Fan Kang heard Jia Ke's words, he immediately understood the meaning, Jia Ke didn't want the emperor to get out of here.

So Fan Kang immediately continued: "I don't think so, the emperor can't get out of it anyway, if there is no support from the emperor this time, how can those princes and nobles and royal clansmen obey the arrangement of the loyal king?" I think the emperor is a wise man to protect himself, he wants to win the world, but he is afraid that you will come back to settle accounts with him. ”

After Jia Ke listened, a smile appeared on his face, "What Mr. Fan said is reasonable, I think the emperor is not willing to be lonely this time." ”

After Jia Ke said this, he decided the characterization of this matter, that is, under the hint of the emperor, King Zhongshun united with the royal family center of the princes and nobles to launch a rebellion.

Fan Kang stood below and looked at Jia Ke's face, knowing that he couldn't wait any longer, and from now on, Jia Ke's actions would probably accelerate.

After Jia Ke finished characterizing this matter, he directly ordered the generals, "Go back today and rest overnight, and line up outside the capital early tomorrow morning, and I will return to the capital within three days." ”

After listening to Jia Ke's words, the generals hugged their fists together.

Then Jia Ke returned to his big tent after the tent was dispersed, and immediately recruited Wei Kun to let him know about the intelligence exchanges in the capital during this time.

Wei Kun didn't dare to slack off, so he told Jia Ke about the situation in the capital during this time, and then focused on Fan Kang.

Wei Kun reported Fan Kang's every move during this period to Jia Ke.

Jia Ke was really relieved after listening to it, and it seemed that Fan Kang didn't have any bad intentions during this time.

Next, Jia Ke ordered Wei Kun to send a message to Wutai Mountain, so that Jia's mother and the children of the Jia family could set off to the capital, and when they returned to the capital, they thought that they had been able to calm the turmoil in the capital.

The next night was silent, the next day, Jia Ke in the Chinese army tent drumming and gathering generals, after the generals have arrived, this is the order to set up a position in front of the formation, Jia Ke with the generals personally came to the city gate.

At this time, someone in the capital had already informed King Zhongshun, and King Zhongshun knew that Jia Ke was back, and he was not weak, and he also came to the city gate with the princes and nobles and the royal clan, and looked at Jia Ke from afar.

Jia Keqi immediately watched from the city tower, only to see that the king of Zhongshun was wearing a python robe, and he was surrounded by everyone in the middle and looked a little imposing.

Jia Ke urged his horse forward and shouted to the castle tower: "Loyal to the king, why are you rebellious? ”

King Zhongshun did not weaken his momentum, "Jia Ke, your name is Prime Minister, you are really a traitor, what is wrong with me to get rid of the world for the world?" ”

Jia Ke smiled after hearing this, "In that case, let's not compete for profit in our tongues, let's see the real kung fu under our hands." ”

After Jia Ke finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and returned to his own formation.

Then in Jia Ke's array, the drums sounded like thunder, and when they heard the sound of the drums, countless soldiers pushed all kinds of engineering equipment and approached the capital again.

Niu Jizong's face turned pale, and he ordered the men and horses under his command to start making preparations.

Over the past few years, Niu Jizong has not done nothing, he demolished many houses in the capital, collected a lot of wood, pulled it to the top of the city, and used it as rolling wood, and the stones of the house were also used as thunder stones.

However, they didn't collect many bows and arrows, because when Jia Ke left the capital, he had already vacated the treasury of the military department.

When Niu Jizong and the others went to the military department to collect the equipment for attacking and defending the city, they found that the treasury of the military department was empty.

In the end, they could only collect all the bows and arrows collected by all the princes and nobles, but although they had bows, the arrows were very rare, because no prince or nobleman dared to hide many arrows in their homes.

So now when defending the city, there are not many archers involved, and their arrows are quickly used up, which greatly reduces the threat to Jia Ke.

After a tentative attack, Jia Ke found that the defense of the city head was weak, although there were many rolling wood and thunder stones, but there were almost no bows and arrows for suppression.

Seeing this situation, Jia Ke understood that his arrangement in the capital had played a role, so Jia Ke issued an order to order the whole army to attack with all its might.

The army under Jia Ke's command, after receiving the order, began to desperately attack the city, and now the seven or eight hundred thousand horses under Jia Ke's command are like waves, retreating and rising again and again, endlessly.

Moreover, Jia Ke has already prepared, and all kinds of engineering equipment are very well prepared.

And Niu Jizong led these people to be recruited from all over the world, and they had no combat experience at all, even if they were holding knives and guns, they might not dare to cut people, not to mention Jia Ke's sleepless attack, and when it was almost night, these people had already lost more than half, and their defense was already crumbling.

And King Zhongshun has not been down to the city since he came to the castle tower, and he also knows that things have reached the most critical moment, and if he can keep one day, he will be able to live one more day.

Now that he saw that the city tower was crumbling, he knew that he could not go on like this, so he summoned his own personal soldiers, and he immediately searched for strong men in the capital.

In less than an hour, his own soldiers gathered seven or eight thousand men near the city walls, some of whom were forcibly captured by these soldiers.

But the king of Zhongshun could not care so much now, and when he saw these people coming, he immediately sent them weapons and sent an overseer to force them to go up to the city to face the enemy.

When these people saw that they were going to go up to fight, how could they agree to cry and cry for their mothers to tremble there.

The king's own soldiers, who were impatient, took out their whips and beat them incessantly, trying to drive them to the tower.
