Chapter 295: Flames Spread Across the Land

Fengyang, Luwang's army has just captured Nanjiao County, only one county is short of the Yangtze River, when the army crosses the river, and the city of Nanjing is just around the corner.

Originally, with such a good situation, King Lu should have been extremely excited, but a news from Nanchang immediately made him look blue and angry.

"King Fu's fat pig dared to ascend the throne one step ahead of this king, why should he!" King Lu scolded and roared angrily.

This time as soon as the news of King Fu's rebellion came out, King Lu couldn't wait to announce the rebellion, and there was no intention of competing again, but now King Fu has ascended the throne, you know, Nanchang is more than a thousand miles away from Nanjing City, and he King Lu is about to hit the Yangtze River, why did King Fu ascend the throne one step ahead of him.

"The prince is angry!" A young man in white clothes persuaded with a smile.

"Mr. Wu, how can you let this king not be angry!" King Fu held back his anger, but seeing that his name for the young man in white was very peculiar, he actually called him Mr., which was a great honorific title.

To be so honored by King Fu, this Mr. Wu's background is extraordinary, yes, Mr. Wu comes from the largest warrior family in Jianghuai, and the eldest son of the head of the contemporary martial arts family of Mr. Wu, this person is extraordinary, reciting poems at the age of three, writing articles at the age of five, taking the Xiucai exam at the age of ten, and lifting people at the age of thirteen, but he has not gone to participate in the Spring Festival so far, no one thinks that he will fail the test, but he disdains it and is too lazy to rely on.

Mr. Wu is an extremely arrogant person in his bones, of course, he is indeed very smart, since King Lu's rebellion, many schemes have come from him, and it is not unreasonable for King Lu to respect him so much.

Mr. Wu smiled indifferently: "Lord Wang, your army of more than 100,000 is about to hit the Yangtze River, as long as the last county is broken, when the prestige is great, there will inevitably be more warriors and clans to vote, the army will develop to two or three hundred thousand people is not a problem, such a strong force, at that time to cross the Yangtze River, straight to the city of Nanjing is not a problem, as long as the prince first captures the city of Nanjing, capture the jade seal of the country, and hold the jade seal of the country, the prince says that whoever is orthodox is orthodox, even if he says that his orthodoxy, no one will object." ”

King Lu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled happily.

"What Mr. said is very true, it is the king's lack of consideration, and the most important thing is to cross the Yangtze River at present and capture Nanjing City to win the jade seal of the country."

With the onslaught of more than 100,000 rebels of King Lu at any cost, a day later, Pukou County was broken, and King Lu's rebels approached the Yangtze River and approached Nanjing, the world was shocked, and King Lu's momentum was greatly boosted!

In an instant, all parties came to vote, and King Lu's army also developed to more than 200,000 people at once, and the momentum was not weaker than King Fu, so angry that King Fu, who had not yet broken through Jiujiang, almost lifted the table, and had to step up his urging to attack Jiujiang as soon as possible, he couldn't let King Lu take Nanjing first, otherwise King Lu, who held the jade seal of the country, was likely to press him.

In less than ten days, King Fu, King Lu, King Zhuang, King Lu and other more than a dozen vassal kings openly rebelled, tens of thousands of other clans supported in the back, thousands of Haoqiang clans followed, in less than ten days, the anti-army from all over the country together exceeded 800,000, King Fu and King Lu were the most powerful, most of the parties supported one of them, more than half of the world's scholars and clans have joined, and less than half of the other half are also waiting, and it is possible to join in at any time.

"Newspaper"

"King Lu's anti-army soldiers are facing the Yangtze River, and they are cutting down wood and building ships, and they will cross the river in a few days!" A soldier rushed into the hall to report the emergency.

At this time, Peng Cheng, the commander of Jinyiwei, also walked in.

"Your Majesty, because of the news that King Lu's soldiers are on the Yangtze River and King Fu is proclaiming himself emperor, thousands of families and clans have joined the anti-army, and the anti-army is becoming more and more powerful, and in about five days, it will exceed one million troops." Peng Cheng frowned, in such a situation, he was also a little anxious.

"Really? At this time, there should have been more than half of the Shi clan Haoqiang and the clan to join! Zhu Cihong's eyebrows twitched, and he smiled coldly.

It was just over halfway through, which was less than Zhu Cihong expected.

"Your Majesty, there is another piece of news" Peng Cheng was a little embarrassed, but he still said it: "King Fu claimed that the emperor was carried by the queen mother behind the back of the emperor and the attendants, and now even King Lu is singing, it seems that all the streets and alleys can hear it, which is extremely unfavorable to the emperor!" ”

Although there are some keywords that Peng Cheng did not say, as long as people who are not stupid know what they mean.

To Peng Cheng's surprise, Zhu Cihong didn't care, and said with a smile: "King Fu is really enough, he actually came up with such an excuse, at first I thought he would get a Qingjun to come out, but I underestimated him, but King Lu also followed such rumors." ”

In fact, what Zhu Cihong didn't expect was that King Fu was rarely smart once, and the reason why he didn't use Qingjun's side was not only to make himself more justifiable, but also to force Zhu Cihong to the edge of the cliff and not give Zhu Cihong any way out, after all, if he used Qingjun's side, once Zhu Cihong couldn't hold the compromise, as long as they killed those people who wanted Qingjun's side, they would have no excuse, and it would only be them who would be embarrassed at that time, which they would never allow.

King Lu's thoughts are the same as King Fu, although King Lu very much doesn't want to use the same excuse as King Fu, but he can't think of a better one, besides, Mr. Wu said that those who become big things are not informal, only when everyone in the world is singing, can things that are not true also be true, King Lu heard it, and felt that it was very reasonable, so he also used the same excuse as King Fu, and sent people around to sing about Zhu Cihong's impure blood.

Because the two leading sheep of King Fu and King Lu both sang like that, the others naturally followed suit and all followed.

The combined power of tens of thousands of scholars and clans is undoubtedly extremely powerful, and it is indeed possible for people to sing like this on every street, not to mention that there are still some people who dare not jump out openly, but there is no shortage of people who secretly have spare support.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we should immediately find a way to stop the rumors!" Peng Cheng suggested seriously.

Zhu Cihong nodded and said: "I really want to stop it, but don't be so nervous, I believe that the people's hearts are bright, and they are not so easy to be fooled, just let Jinyiwei guide them a little." ”

"Obey the order!"

Zhu Cihong is not wrong, maybe one thing is said too much, and after a certain extent, it can indeed turn the false into true, but those people obviously ignore one point, ordinary people may have some gossip and are easy to be fooled, but Zhu Cihong's holy decree is related to the interests of all their ordinary people, and it is really considered for them.

The minds of ordinary people are very simple, whoever is good to them will be good to whom, they don't care who the emperor is, let alone whether the blood of the current emperor is pure, they only know that the current emperor is an emperor who really thinks about them ordinary people, and is the emperor they should worship.

No, before the Jinyi guards began to move, the rumors were quickly debunked by the people.
