Standing on the high post outside Nanjing, listening to the drums coming from inside the city, Yang Shu sighed softly. He glanced back at the neat-looking soldiers, and his eyes were full of confidence.

Yang Shunai is a general that Sun Chuanting values very much, not only is he very brave, but he also knows the war strategy well. From Sun Chuanting to the three major battalions, Yang Shu was the first batch of generals to follow Sun Chuanting, and it can be said that Sun Chuanting had deep trust.

This time following the Emperor of the Apocalypse to the south, Yang Shu was appointed to lead 15,000 soldiers, marched all the way, and finally arrived in Nanjing City. After getting the news of the closure of Nanjing, Yang Shu knew that something big had happened in the city. However, Yang Shu did not force his way into the city, and without the will of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Yang Shu did not have the courage to do so.

At this time, listening to the drums of the generals in Nanjing, Yang Shu's face became more solemn. But he still chose to wait and see.

"Lord Commander, Commander Shen has arrived!" The herald captain came to Yang Shu's side, saluted respectfully, and said with a serious face.

Commander Shen is talking about Shen Quan, and his position is the same as himself, he is a commander. Before the equalization reform, the commander was the highest officer in the guard. After the equalization reform, the commander could only command 10,000 horses. However, Yang Shu likes his current position very much, because this is a real commander, not subject to the control of civilian officials, and only obeys the orders of his superiors.

Shen Quan was also Sun Chuanting's confidant, and this time he came to Nanjing to command 5,000 men and horses, and served with the emperor. Among the 15,000 people under his command, there are 5,000 people from Shen Quan. Now that Shen Quan has arrived in Nanjing, presumably the emperor is not far away.

Putting down the chaotic thoughts, Yang Shu looked at the herald and said with a smile: "Please Commander Shen come over!" "I have a good relationship with Shen Quan, and I don't need to pass it on to my house on weekdays. But it's different here, it's a barracks, and it doesn't have its own instructions. Don't say it's Shen Quan, bigger officials can't get in.

"Yes, sir!" Naturally, the herald did not dare to slack off. He saluted respectfully, turned and walked outside.

See the herald go out. Shen Quan turned his head with a smile and said, "Supervisor Feng, Commander Shen is here, it seems that we don't have to wait here." ”

Originally, there were supposed to be two prison guards, one from the Inspectorate, and the other was supposed to be a eunuch in the palace. However, because he accompanied the Emperor of the Apocalypse out of the city, Gonggong Cao, who supervised the army, was on the ship of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. There is only this Feng Jian Jun in the army who has a straight face all day long.

"General Yang, it is your business to lead the troops into battle, and this officer is just supervising. You don't have to tell me about the battle plan. I will be disciplined by the process, and that is the duty of the officer. Feng Jianjun didn't seem to be able to see Yang Shu's overtures, his face was unwavering, he stroked the beard on his chin, and said in a deep voice.

It seems that Feng Jianjun's estrangement was not heard. Yang Shu still stood there and laughed, he had long been accustomed to Feng Jianjun's expression. But there is one thing he still doesn't understand, why do civil officials always like to brush their beards? Looking at his beard, Yang Shu shook his head slowly. I've read books myself. Although he has no fame, he doesn't brush his beard himself!

"Yang Shu, you won't go out to pick me up when I'm here, it's so infuriating!" A voice sounded not far away, but there was a smile in his tone.

"Use me to pick you up, who do you think you are!" Yang Shu's answer was not polite at all, but the laughter was full of joy.

Striding to Yang Shu's side, Shen Quan said with a smile: "I don't have time to quarrel with you, return my five thousand people to me, if I let that know that you are not good to them, see how I clean you up." ”

Yang Shu nodded, since Shen Quan was here, he naturally wanted to hand over the military power to him. As for the threats in the back, Yang Shu naturally filtered it out and said, "Does the emperor have a will?" Shall we take the ride? ”

"Someone wants to assassinate the emperor on the way, these people are really bold! Now all we have to do is go into the city and arrest people. This is the list, there are two copies in total, one for each of us, and we will arrest people according to the list! Hearing Yang Shu's question, Shen Quan suddenly became serious, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Yang Shu, and said in a deep voice.

The result list, Yang Shu glanced at it and nodded, as for the identity of the person above, Yang Shu didn't consider it at all. This is the emperor's will, arrest people! You just need to execute it.

"How's Nanjing City?" After explaining the matter, Shen Quan turned his gaze to Yang Shu's face and asked solemnly.

"The city is closed now, but the drums in the city have just sounded, so there must be results soon!" Yang Shu sighed helplessly, if he hadn't sounded the drum of the generals, he would still have the credit for counterinsurgency, and now I'm afraid he won't have this opportunity!

What is the status and strength of Wei Guogong in Nanjing, Yang Shu and Shen Quan are very clear. Even if I process it now, I'm afraid it's still a soup. But it's better to have soup than nothing! Lowering his head and thinking about it, Shen Quan glanced at Yang Shu with a smile and said, "Let's go into the city now, don't rub around here!" ”

"Into the city? Now the city is sealed! Yang Shu was slightly stunned, looking at Shen Quan in surprise, he never thought that Shen Quan would have such an idea at this time.

"How about locking up? We are on the emperor's orders, who dares not to let us enter the city? If you don't let us into the city, you will rebel, and if you rebel, we will go in. Shen Quan said with a sly glow in his sly face.

Yang Shu suddenly shook his head like a drum, and said helplessly: "That's what I said, but we can really fight?" With our people, how can we fight? This is the city of Nanjing, and it is easy to break through? If people are stopped outside, where do we put our faces? ”

Stretching out his hand and pointing at Yang Shu, Shen Quan hated iron and said: "You are really smart and confused, we have the emperor's holy decree, who dares to stop us?" Even if they stop us, what they don't give is the emperor's face, how much is our face worth? If the emperor arrives and we haven't entered the city yet, it will be a shame to be thrown to grandma's house! ”

Hearing Shen Quan say this, Yang Shu suddenly understood, nodded, and said, "This is indeed the truth, we will call the door now, I will see who dares to stop me!" ”

After the two of them agreed, they were ready to set off, and Feng Jianjun didn't say a word during the whole process.

In the yamen of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in Nanjing, Wei Guogong sat on a chair in military uniform, and behind him was the raised royal flag. A herald on the left was holding a yellow scroll of holy decrees, and the one on the right was holding the sword of Shang Fang given by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"General Qiyu, it's time!" While Tongzhi bowed respectfully, he said solemnly.

Nodding slowly, Wei Guogong said in a deep voice: "Order it, if anyone doesn't get it, military law will do it!" ”

Wei Guogong's tone was very light, but the people below felt cold. In fact, the name is called, according to military law, if you don't get one, you will be punished by forty rods! If you don't have two pounds, you will be punished by eighty! If you don't get three Mao, you will be beheaded directly. Today, Wei Guogong's expression is so serious, and the hall is so empty, I am afraid that many heads will fall to the ground.

Many people are confused, they can be regarded as Wei Guogong's henchmen, but they were all replaced by An Xiangbo a few days ago. However, when I saw Wei Guogong sitting in the lobby today, I couldn't help but beat a little drum in my heart. Isn't it rumored that Wei Guogong was assassinated? It is said that he is already unconscious, why does he seem so energetic now?

After the three points were over, Wei Guogong nodded and said in a deep voice: "You go back to your respective positions, and those who are in charge of the city gate will take over the city gate!" If someone resists, they will directly rectify the Fa on the spot. After the city gate is in charge, the city gate is wide open, only allowed to enter and not to go out, if one person goes out, Li Zhe, you will cut off the head of the whole family! ”

Listening to Wei Guogong's indifferent tone, there was a twitch on the faces of the people below, this is true, not a joke.

Li Zhe hurriedly walked out, saluted respectfully, and said loudly: "Don't worry, general, I'll go!" ”

When Li Zhe left, Wei Guogong glanced at the military judge on the side, and said: "Take someone to arrest people, and arrest anyone who can't be ordered today, all of them will be arrested for me!" If you resist, you will be killed! Remember to bring more people, don't let people kill them, this grandfather can't afford to lose that person. After speaking, he threw the military order in his hand to the military commander on the side.

"Yes, General!" The military commander took the token and strode out, he was ready to listen to Wei Guogong's words and bring more people. As for what will happen to those people who are caught, that's not something I should think about.

Picking up a token again, Wei Guogong said in a serious voice: "Hu Zhe, Zhao Cheng, Zhou Wu, Zheng Wang, the four of you go out of the city and drop your men and horses into the city." After entering the city, the soldiers were divided into four ways to clean up the rebels of each yamen, and if there was resistance, they would be killed! "This is actually an insurance measure, An Xiangbo has been caught, and the rest of the people are no longer in trouble.

"Yes, General!" The four of them hurriedly stood up, and some people in the city rebelled, and the faces of the four people were not afraid, but joyful. This is a good opportunity for meritorious service, and I want to be promoted! After receiving the token, the four of them walked out quickly.

Taking out a list from his arms, Wei Guo Bus gave it to the Tongzhi on the side, picked up another token, and said: "Take people, arrest all these people for me, and the mansion will be sealed!" Remember, don't hurt people's lives, don't commit adultery and plunder! ”

"Yes, General!" After taking the list, Tongzhi walked out quickly.

An Xiangbo is a fool, Wei Guogong has always thought so, although the soldiers are scattered and stationed, how can there be no soldiers in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies? I have already transferred people to the Guogong Mansion, and I still want to arrest myself. However, Wei Guogong also had a direct understanding of Jinyiwei's secret agents, and An Xiangbo's henchman Qianhu Chu Lian was actually Jinyiwei's person, which really made Wei Guogong unexpected.

I don't know how many spies I have here, and I don't have time to think about it, Wei Guogong stood up abruptly and said loudly: "The rest of the people follow me and go to the palace." ”
