Chapter 771: Kill the Kill
The Jiangdong Gate was opened, and the soldiers Zuo Maodi and Huaiyuan Hou Chang Yanling led people out of the city gate. Although Chang Yanling was unwilling, he had no choice, and there were many doubts in his heart, so he could only follow along.
"Lord Zuo, Master Chang!" Chen Yue did not have the consciousness of a victor at all, and jumped off the war horse to salute the two.
"Don't kill the Marquis of Qi, you are a dignified duke, I'm just a little marquis, I should give you a salute," Chang Yanling sneered, "Ben Marquis wants to ask the Duke of Qi, who do you want to clear the monarch side of?" ”
"Huaiyuanhou!" Seeing that Chang Yanling was in trouble, Zuo Maodi hurriedly stopped.
"Lord Zuo, didn't you tell Huaiyuanhou the cause and effect of the matter?" Chen Yue said to Zuo Maodi in surprise.
"Time is pressing, I didn't have time to tell." Zuo Maodi's face was slightly red. Because Chen Yue warned Zuo Maodi not to tell anyone other than Shi Kefa about Princess Kunxing's edict. Zuo Maodi didn't know how to explain it to Chang Yanling.
Chen Yue nodded, took out Princess Kunxing's edict from his arms, and a personal guard took it and handed it to Chang Yanling's hand, Chang Yanling looked down and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed greatly.
"There are traitors in the court, killing the prince and harming the king, trying to collude with the vassal king to seize the throne, Chen Yue has no choice but to lead the troops back to Beijing, and Yuan Fu and Lord Zuo all know about it." Chen Yue said calmly.
While speaking, Chen Yan had already led people into the city gate, controlling the city towers and city gates, and Chen Yue led his men straight into the city, leaving Chang Yanling in a daze.
Zuo Maodi chased after him and followed closely by Chen Yue's side, "Qi Guogong, please restrain your subordinates after entering the city, don't kill too much!" ”
Chen Yue looked at him with a smile, "Didn't you see that I only brought such a small number of troops into the city, don't worry, those who should be killed will be killed, and those who should not be killed will not be implicated." ”
Entering from the Jiangdong Gate, the nearest gate is the Stone City Gate, and you can enter the Imperial City directly along the main street when you enter the Stone City Gate.
Because of the topography, the city gate of Nanjing City Wall is far less square and regular than Beijing, but a city wall built along the trend of mountains, rivers and lakes, but the streets in the city are wide enough, especially the avenue that leads directly to the palace like the Stone City Gate.
There are millions of people in Nanjing, naturally they can't all live in the capital, most of the people still live in the area between the capital and Waiguo, but today there is a big war, first the cannon sounds, and then the sound of fighting outside the city is everywhere, the people are so frightened that they dare not go out, only dare to look at the army walking on the street through the door panel.
The city wall of the capital is much stronger than the outer Guo, take the stone city gate as an example, there is the Qinhuai River outside to divert as a moat, there is an urn city to rely on, the city wall is thick, if the defenders are strictly guarded, even if it is ten times the strength of the army, do not want to break the city.
Now Chen Yue led the troops straight to the Shicheng Gate, which made Zuo Maodi very worried, because he knew that several city gates in the west such as Linhuai Gate and Shicheng Gate were defended by Han Zanzhou, and the Shicheng Gate was such an important gate, Han Zanzhou was likely to sit in charge in person, Zuo Maodi didn't know that Shi Kefana didn't take Han Zanzhou, if Chen Yue led the troops to the city, and the Shicheng Gate was closed, Han Zanzhou ordered to attack from the city, then the joke would be a bit big!
But seeing that Chen Yue was riding on the horse, he was unhurried and calm, as if everything was under control, and Zuo Maodi's heart was slightly settled.
Shicheng Gate, the news of the defeat of the guest army outside the city has reached here, Han Zanzhou's face suddenly became ugly, 50,000 guest soldiers are the biggest support to pacify Chen Yue's rebellion, and now they are defeated, and they are defeated so quickly, which shows how powerful Chen Yue's force is!
The guest army was defeated, and I am afraid that Nanjing will be difficult to defend! Although he was within the thick city walls, Han Zanzhou did not feel the slightest sense of security.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the news of Zuo Maodi's surrender and Chen Yue's entry into the city, and Han Zanzhou sat at the head of the city in a daze, speechless for a long time.
Chen Yue led the army into Jiangdong City, and the next step must be to come to Shichengmen, what should he do?
Defending the city? Looking at the cowering Beijing camp soldiers on the city wall, Han Zanzhou shook his head in despair, where did these Beijing camp soldiers have the courage to fight against Chen Yue's army! Do you expect the hundred and ten Dongchang fans who are following you?
Defend or surrender Kaesong? Han Zanzhou fell into a contradiction. If he surrendered, he knew that he had fallen too deep, and if anything he had done in the past was known by Chen Yue, he would fall into a place of no return. But if you stick to it, where can you win, I'm afraid you will die faster.
"Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor," a eunuch rushed up the city wall, "Old Ancestor, something happened in the palace, Shi Kefa rushed into the inner palace with people, and Duke Gui just led people to stop them and sent me to deliver a letter to you." ”
"What did you say!" Han Zanzhou was startled, and stood up suddenly, maybe he was standing too violently and his blood was not smooth, but he felt that the world was spinning, and it was easy to stabilize himself.
"Shi Kefa!" A sharp voice burst out from between Han Zanzhou's teeth, and he had already understood by this time. Ordering people to urge him to guard the city gate is obviously a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and he wants to transfer himself out of the palace, and Shi Kefa himself took the opportunity to enter the palace to rob the emperor!
"Liars, all fucking liars!" Han Zanzhou scolded bitterly, the infinite pain in his heart, and the filthy words came out of his mouth, from Shi Kefa Chen Yue to Fang Ming Xia Liu Kongzhao, he scolded him all over again. Without Fang Mingxia and Liu Kongzhao's flickering, how could he get to the step of killing the prince and killing the monarch, and without Chen Yue's strong threat, how could he obey Fang Mingxia's flickering? And the most hateful thing is Shi Kefa, because our family thinks he is loyal and honest, but he will also resort to such despicable tricks!
"Ancestor, what should we do?" His eunuch shouted in fear.
"What to do? Follow me back to the palace and recapture the emperor and Princess Kunxing! Han Zanzhou said sharply, at this time, it is no longer important to defend the city, only by holding the emperor and Princess Kunxing in his hands can he have the capital to bargain!
Han Zanzhou, the Beijing camp soldiers in the city, couldn't be adjusted, and the ones who could follow him were just one hundred and ten Dongchang fans, at this time, Han Zanzhou regretted it very much, regretting that he scattered the fans to the various city gates to monitor the Beijing camp soldiers, resulting in only so many troops that could be mobilized.
"Dead eunuch, where to go!" As soon as he led people off the road, he bumped into a large group of Jinyi Guards, and the first bearded man scolded Han Zanzhou loudly, it was Jinyi Wei Qianhu Li Daozi.
"Kill me!" Han Zanzhou's eyes were red, and he didn't care about where this brocade guard came from, so he gave an order sharply.
However, before his subordinates could make a move, a rain of arrows rushed to their faces, and the brocade guards on the opposite side took out their crossbows and aimed them at this side to hook the machine.
The fans around him screamed and fell to the ground one after another, and few could stand, and then Han Zanzhou was horrified to see that Li Daozi, who was holding a big knife, walked in front of him, and the sharp blade was on his neck.
