The Silla rebels did not break the fortress of Niushou, but lost more than 500 people by the camp of Da Nai Ma Defu that night, and more than half of their baggage was burned, so they did not have the ability to forcibly attack the city.

As an important part of the plan, Niushou City attacked but did not overcome, and its own side suffered heavy losses, and the morale of the rebels suddenly dropped greatly, and the future was full of bleakness.

Jin Wenzhi saw it in his eyes, and knew that if he dragged on and didn't make another decision, the army would probably scatter. Finding Yiyun Jinyi, the two discussed for two hours, and had to give up attacking Niushou City and turn east to attack Mingzhou.

Although there were only more than 1,700 rebels left, Jin Wenzhi was still confident of winning in Mingzhou, where Sha Lu was not there and the 3,000 troops led by his brother Sha Jing were stationed. Sha Jing is just a hairy boy in his early twenties, who used to fight with his brother on the Long March, but he didn't have a decent record, so he was mediocre. Sha Yan went to the Wa Kingdom, but let his brother command the Mingzhou army, but he just wanted to control the Mingzhou army in the hands of his Sha family to protect the power and wealth.

Mingzhou is a long and narrow area spanning more than 500 miles from north to south, and there are eight counties in the territory, and for the Mingzhou army, which has only 3,000 troops left, it is very unfavorable to defend the counties at present. The only 2,000 mobile troops were taken to the country by Sha Yan again, and Jin Wenzhi did not take his promise, but he was really sorry for himself.

Yiyun Jin Yi and Jin Wenzhi, who had already made a decision, fled north along the Chuncheon River under the cover of night, and the Da Nai Ma Defu in Niushou City sent a waiter out of the city to investigate the situation before discovering that the rebels had retreated.

Seeing that there were only more than 500 elite soldiers left in the city, and the rest were all recruited farmers, he thought that his Shuozhou army was defeated by only this remnant of the army due to a rebellion, so he had to give up the plan to pursue and hurriedly send people to report to Pyongyang and Jincheng.

I hope that King Yan will not give his Shuozhou army commander.

……

The Silla rebels, under the leadership of Yiyun Jinyi and Jin Wenzhi, crossed the mountains and entered the east coast in five days, and effortlessly conquered the fortress of Yiheonseong, which was guarded by only 300 soldiers, and the northern Garo Fortress descended overnight.

Sha Jing, who temporarily acted as the commander of the Mingzhou army, was shocked to learn that the rebels had captured the defenders and counties, and was overjoyed, regardless of the dissuasion of his subordinates, when the troops of each county were gathered and the superior forces were used to go to the crusade, he rashly recruited more than 1,000 people from the 800 defenders in the city of Hethero, the seat of Mingzhou, that is, the 2,000 army went straight to Yixian City.

The two armies fought in the wilderness outside Yixian City, Jin Wenzhi attacked in the middle with 300 fine cavalry, and the formation of the Mingzhou army was in chaos, and more than 1,000 farmers saw that the battle situation was unfavorable and scattered, leaving only 800 Mingzhou troops to support in the formation.

Sha Jing was dumbfounded, the superior force instantly turned into an inferior force, and the general advised him to quickly withdraw his troops back to Hethro City to wait for reinforcements, but he was at a loss because of the sudden change in the battlefield situation and missed the crucial quarter of an hour in vain, resulting in the siege of the Mingzhou army.

When Sha Jing reacted, he was powerless to return to the sky, and when the whole army was in a panic, Jin Wenzhi led the army into the Mingzhou army with a gun in one arm, and slashed Sha Jing's chest under the horse with one shot.

Sha Jing, who was in the middle of the show, died under Jin Wenzhi's gun, Jin Wenzhi cut off his head and picked it on the gun, and looked around and threatened: "Do you want to die with him as a lackey, or do you want to join us to expel Tang Kou and overthrow the puppet king?" ”

The remnants of the Mingzhou army looked around blankly, and they were all looking at the rebels, so they had no choice but to lay down their arms and surrender.

More than 600 Mingzhou troops were recruited, Yiyun Jin Yi led the army to stay in the city and county, and Jin Wenzhi waved his army south to take the city of Hethro that had no soldiers to defend.

When reinforcements from the southern counties of Mingzhou arrived, they found that the state capital had been taken by the rebels, and Sha Jing had also beheaded Jin Wenzhi, and his head was hung on the gate of Hethro South, and they all retreated to the counties to report to Jincheng.

The rebel army had two counties, and after a short period of repair, Jin Wenzhi took advantage of the arrival of the Jincheng Imperial Court and the Tang Andong Metropolitan Protectorate to wave his army south again to expand his sphere of influence and strengthen his strength.

Three of the six southern counties with insufficient defenders were captured by the rebellious Silla loyal soldiers, and the defenders of the remaining three counties fled south without a fight before Jin Wenzhi led the army, and the defenders of one county surrendered anyway.

Suddenly, the entire territory of Mingju belonged to the Silla Rebels.

When the news reached Jincheng, the Manchu ministers were shocked, and the queen Kim Jong-ah hurriedly sent an envoy north to Pyongyang to ask her husband Li Yu for help, and summoned Shi Dou Huaike, the principal of the Jilin Prefecture Inspectorate stationed in Silla, and Chi Xunyan, the general of the Zhenyi Army, to ask if the Zhenyi Army could send troops to fight the rebellion.

Dou Huaike said: "Your Highness, the mission of the Zhenyi Army is to defend Jincheng and protect the safety of Your Highness. As for the rebellion in Mingzhou, as far as the minister knows, his soldiers are only more than 4,000 people. His Royal Highness can send Jin Luoshui to Yichang to lead the Qing army to crusade, but Nuo is worried that his troops are not enough to deal with it, so he can temporarily transfer 2,000 troops from the left and right forbidden armies to his command. ”

"Long history is high, Kenuo can't quickly put down the rebellion, and there are people everywhere who may respond to Yiyun Jinyi and Jinwen's move. More than half of the soldiers and horses of Liang, Kang, Shang, and Shuozhou were transferred to the Wa Kingdom, and the remaining soldiers and horses in Shuozhou were also disabled by the rebels, and the commanders of the Liangzhou and Sangju armies were even more distant to Silla. The local garrison is not enough to suppress the possible rebels. General Nuo Wei Chi can lead the Zhenyi army into battle, which must be more secure. ”

Kim Jong-ah was dissatisfied with Dou Huaike's prevarication and pleaded.

Dou Huaike couldn't figure out what the hell Kim Zhengya had in his heart, maybe she was secretly supporting the rebels.

After a few years with her, Kim Jong-ah gradually grew from an ignorant and weak woman to a skillful balance between the various real power factions in the country, gradually demonstrating the royal power, promoting cronies and excluding dissidents.

Dou Huaike saw everything he had done, how could he believe what she said?

For the sake of safety, the Zhenyi army must not be allowed to leave Jincheng. Once you leave, you lose control of Jincheng, and you don't know where the situation will go.

Dou Huaike resolutely rejected Jin Zhengya's request, turned around and left the palace with Wei Chi Xunyan, making the queen so angry that she crushed her silver teeth and threw her sleeves away.

In addition to being angry, Kim Jong-ah had to summon Moon Hoon, the commander of the forbidden army, Park Yong-ho, and Kim Bi-su, the commander of the palace guards, to discuss who to send as the commander, and to send more troops and horses to the north to defeat the rebels.

Thinking of the rebels, Kim Jung-ah gritted his teeth in anger, and the two bastards of Yiyun Kim Yi and Kim Wenzhi actually called her a puppet king in the crusade against the emperor, a disgrace to Silla, and King Tang Yan controlled Silla's mistress and vowed to overthrow her rule.

Although Jin Zhengya was dissatisfied with being a puppet in the hands of Li Yu, she was even more unwilling to be overthrown, and was driven out of Jincheng like a lost dog and completely reduced to an ordinary woman under Li Yu.

Even if Li Yuxing's army quelled the rebellion and put her on the throne again, for a queen who was driven out of Jincheng by the rebels, the authority of the queen that she had worked hard to establish over the past few years would be lost, and no one in Silla would be willing to swear allegiance to her, and would only prostrate at Li Yu's feet one by one to show their loyalty.

If Yiyun Jin Yi and Jin Wenzhi just expelled Tang Kou, maybe she would immediately send someone to contact him and secretly support him. But if they want to overthrow her, it can only be the enemy of life and death.
