Chapter 346: Shocking News
At this moment in Guanshan, the weather has become hot.
More than 20 miles north of Chang'an City, there is a huge military camp with more than 20,000 soldiers stationed here.
By the time dawn, more than 20,000 soldiers had gathered and they began training near the barracks.
After the sun had risen for an hour, the soldiers stopped and began to go into the barracks to rest.
This is Han Shizhong's Han Jiajun!
Compared with other armies in Jiangnan, the Han army is already considered an abnormal elite. However, compared to the forbidden army, Huanqing army, Jingyuan army, etc. in the west, they are still much worse. In such a hot weather, the forbidden army, the Huanqing army, and the Jingyuan army will not stop training, and they are training hard every moment and preparing for war.
Han Shizhong himself came to the shady place, he sat cross-legged under the tree, and began to meditate.
After another half an hour, the sound of horses' hooves was suddenly heard in the distance.
Han Shizhong opened his eyes.
I saw that a few cavalry from the south rushed into the barracks, and there were people to intercept them at first, but after these people showed their tokens, someone immediately led them towards Han Shizhong.
These people were all dressed as soldiers of the rebel army, and after they came to Han Shizhong, they immediately knelt down.
"What did you do when you came to my barracks?" Han Shizhong was still sitting there cross-legged, looking at these rebel soldiers, and said.
"General Han, it was Lord Zong Ze who ordered us to come to you! There is extremely important news coming from Jiangnan! One of the leading lieutenants in the rebel army said.
"Extremely important news? What the hell is going on? Han Shizhong said with some surprise.
"We don't know! It's just that after Lord Zong Ze got the news, he looked anxious, and he ordered us to invite General Han, and he also sent someone to invite General Zhang Junzhang. The lieutenant said.
"Oh?" Han Shizhong was a little surprised.
"Lord Zong Ze said, let you go to Chang'an immediately." The lieutenant said.
"I see." Han Shizhong said.
At that moment, Han Shizhong stood up, he picked up his own soldiers, and rode towards Chang'an City in the south with more than a hundred personal soldiers.
The sun in the sky was hot, and the soldiers were sweating and complaining.
Han Shizhong was thinking about what was going on, so urgent?
He thought to himself, could it be that the news of Zongze's truce had reached Jiangnan, and Zhao Gou had already made a decision? This is a big possibility! It's been five months since the beginning of the year, and Han Shizhong doesn't know what happened in Jiangnan, why is there no news coming now?
In fact, the news of Guan Shaanxi had already reached Jiangnan in early February, but those news were intercepted by the intelligence officers in the Jiangnan Imperial Camp. Later, in mid-February, the Miao-Liu mutiny occurred, and on the eighth day of March, Zhao Chen led 100,000 sailors to Lin'an, and Zhao Gou was killed. So until now, they have not received a reply from Zhao Gou.
"If the news from Jiangnan comes, I'm afraid that Guan Shaanxi will have another big war! However, the Jurchens went to the northeast of the river again, and it is said that they are attacking Yanmen Pass! Hundreds of thousands of troops in the northern Jurchen have not gone south now! Relying only on our Han army, Zhang army, and righteous army may not be able to defeat the enemy in Guanshan. Han Shizhong said secretly.
Han Jiajun's military camp was only more than 20 miles away from Chang'an City, and in less than an hour, Han Shizhong had already arrived at the gate of Chang'an City.
The defenders of Chang'an City hurriedly opened the gate, and Han Shizhong led his troops into it.
Those pro-soldiers are hungry at the moment, they have been training all morning, and they have been on the road for so long, of course they are hungry. However, Han Shizhong was going to the City Lord's Mansion now, and they could only continue to follow, hoping that they could eat something there.
As soon as they came to the palace of Chang'an City, several generals of the rebel army rushed over.
These rebel generals were full of anxiety.
"What the hell is going on?" Han Shizhong became more and more surprised.
"Lord Zongze, General Wang, and General Zhang, they are waiting for you inside!" A rebel general said.
Han Shizhong nodded.
At that moment, Han Shizhong entered a room in the mansion.
******
In the room, Zong Ze, Wang Yan, and Zhang Jun were all here, and all three of them looked anxious.
"What the hell is going on?" After Han Shizhong came in, he immediately asked.
"We just got the news that the Jiangnan Imperial Camp is in turmoil! Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others have already killed Wang Yuan, and now they have controlled the entire Lin'an City, and His Majesty has also been imprisoned by them. Zong Ze said.
"What!" Han Shizhong was taken aback!
Soon, he thought of a question and said, "When did this happen?" ”
"This is in mid-February." Zong Ze said.
"Why is it that the events of mid-February are only getting here now?" Han Shizhong said.
"This ......" Zong Ze was also stunned.
When I was in Jiangnan, the intelligence department deployed many intelligence officers. At that time, these intelligence officers were mainly arranged for two purposes, one was to prevent Zhao Gou from fleeing from Lin'an, and the other was to intercept the news of Jiangnan, so that the news of Jiangnan would not quickly spread to Guanshan, so as not to prevent Guanshan's Jiangnan army from going south. Now that these two purposes have been fully realized, the reason why Zong Ze and the others got the news today is because the person who sent the message was sent by Zhao Chen.
"This thing is very strange!" Han Shizhong said.
"Whether it's weird or not, let's talk about it, how to deal with this matter?" Zong Ze said.
"We must go south at once to save Your Majesty!" Zhang Jundao.
"If it had happened in mid-February, two and a half months have passed by now! Liu Guangshi is suppressing bandits in the area of Dongting Lake, he must have gotten the news, he will go to Lin'an from Dongting Lake, at most a month! I think he has already suppressed the rebellion in the Jiangnan Imperial Camp. Wang Yan said.
"Nonsense! What if His Majesty hasn't been rescued yet? We're going south at once! There can be no delay! Zhang Jun said.
Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong and others were all picked up by Zhao Gou, and they were grateful to Zhao Gou. Especially Zhang Jun, everything he does comes from Zhao Gou, and he will never allow Zhao Gou to have an accident.
"What happened in February, now, if there is really any bad result, I am afraid that it has already happened! Even if we go south, we won't use it! From here, it takes a month or two to travel to Gangnam! After we came to Gangnam, it was already late. Han Shizhong thought for a moment and said.
"I don't care! I have to go south! If you don't want to go south, I'll lead my army of 100,000 to the south!" Zhang Jun said.
"Let's think about it again!" Han Shizhong said.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of reporting outside, Zong Ze frowned, and let people come in.
I saw a few soldiers kneeling on the ground, and one soldier said, "My lord, someone from Jiangnan is here again?" ”
Zong Ze was stunned for a moment and said, "Someone is coming again?" Who is it? ”
The soldier said: "He said that he is the imperial history of the court, and his name is Wan Qiao!" ”
Zong Ze hadn't spoken yet, Zhang Jun had already said, "Quickly let him in!" ”
After a while, a middle-aged Wenchen with a slightly tall figure and a somewhat dark and thin look entered the room, it was Qin Hui's cronies and famous traitors in history, Wan Qiao! Qin Hui had already taken refuge in Zhao Chen, and this Wan Qian naturally took refuge in Zhao Chen! At this time, it was Zhao Chen who sent Wan Qiaoxuan to convey the news.
"Lord Wan, it's really you! Tell me, how is Jiangnan doing now? Zhang Jun strode up to Wan Qiao's side and said anxiously.
"Ladies and gentlemen, something is wrong in Jiangnan!" Wan Qiyu is out of breath at the moment, he has also rushed all the way here from Jiangnan, there is hardly much rest, and now he is exhausted! He was going to wait until tomorrow to tell the news, but he was asked with a head and face just after he arrived.
"What's wrong with Jiangnan? What's wrong with it? Zhang Jun felt some chills in his body and said.
"Emperor Jianyan has been killed!" Wan Qian said.
"What! No way! Zhang Jun's face turned red and he yelled.
"Impossible! How could Emperor Jianyan be killed? Han Shizhong was also in disbelief at the moment.
As for Zong Ze and Wang Yan, the two of them are also staying there at the moment!
They had just gotten the news that Miao Liu had mutinied, and now they had the news that Zhao Gou had been killed, which had too much impact on them!
"Say it! Why lie to us? How could His Majesty be killed? Zhang Jun suddenly grabbed Wan Qiao's collar and asked.
Wan Qiao's face also turned red, and he struggled as hard as he could, but he couldn't breathe air at all.
Han Shizhong took a step forward at this moment, patted Zhang Jun's hand, and an internal force came, and Zhang Jun involuntarily let go of his hand. Zhang Jun was shocked in his heart, thinking that Han Shizhong's martial arts were getting more and more powerful.
"Lord Wan, tell me carefully, what's going on?" Han Shizhong said.
"Good! I will tell you, my lordship. Wan Qiyu gasped for a while, and waited until his breathing calmed down before he said.
Anyway, he had already received Zhao Chen's order to convey the news to Zong Ze and the others, so he spoke slowly at the moment.
He started from the Miao Liu mutiny, until Zhao Chen entered the army and entered Lin'an, Zhao Gou, Zhao Yang and others were killed.
After Wan Qiyun finished speaking, Zong Ze, Han Shizhong, Wang Yan, and Zhang Jun stayed there again.
"How is that possible? We are here to prepare for war, and they actually sent a large army down the Yangtze River! How so? Han Shizhong said a little depressed.
"I don't believe it! It must be fake! I'm definitely going back to Gangnam to have a look! Zhang Jun said coldly.
Zong Ze and Wang Yan were secretly guessing at the moment, thinking that this matter was likely to be true.
At this moment, the sound of soldiers reporting was heard outside again.
After getting so much news in the course of the day, hearing the voice of the report again at this moment, Zong Ze was a little flustered in his heart, he ordered the soldiers to come over, and the soldiers reported that it was Yu Yunwen who asked to see him.
Hearing Yu Yunwen's request to see, Zong Ze was shocked again! He knew that Yu Yunwen was a close confidant of Zhao Chen, an important figure in Guan Shaanxi, why did he suddenly appear here? Why didn't Yu Yunwen get any news when he arrived? Did he come here at this time for the sake of Jiangnan?
"Hurry up, please!" After a while, Zong Ze said.
At this moment, Wan Qiao's face already showed a faint mocking smile, he knew that Yu Yunwen would come over with "evidence"! Before that, he came to Guanshan from Jiangnan with hundreds of people, and some of them had already gone to see Yu Yunwen and handed over the "evidence" to Yu Yunwen.
