Chapter 388: Dog Bites Dog Mouthful [1 Update]
Xiang Ping bowed slightly: "What Lord Liu said is very true, now is my last chance, no matter what, as long as the head of Chu can open the net, we should be able to protect the family's wealth." ”
Saying that, Xiang Ping smiled a little at the crowd and said: "Actually, there is no need for everyone to be so worried, it is true that Chu Yi has broken through Nanjing City, but this Nanjing City must be governed by someone after all, no matter how he is, it is impossible for him to kill everyone, so this is our chance, as long as we can surrender first, we will definitely be able to win the attention of the general manager, maybe it is not impossible for everyone to rise to the top at that time." ”
Originally, many people were nervous in their hearts, but after Xiang Ping and Liu Zhu said this, they were a lot more relieved.
An official's eyes flashed brightly and said, "Everyone, we can go to greet Grand Administrator Chu, but if I can go with merit, will it be more valued by Grand Administrator Chu?" ”
Xiang Ping and Liu Zhu couldn't help but look at this official, this person was a guerrilla general in Nanjing, the city of Nanjing was broken by King Ning, under the general trend, Jiang Ning, as a guerrilla general, chose to follow the general trend and surrender to King Ning, and in King Ning's army, he kept his original position and was still a guerrilla general.
Several people looked at Jiang Ning, only to hear Xiang Ping say: "Master Jiang doesn't know what to think?" Let's put it bluntly! ”
Jiang Ning's eyes narrowed, glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Everyone, you said that if we take down King Ning and dedicate it to the Grand Governor of Chu, will the Grand Governor look at us differently?" ”
When an official heard this, he couldn't help but applaud and said, "Wonderful, if there is King Ning as a greeting gift, I believe that the Grand Administrator of Chu will definitely accept us." ”
King Ning is definitely the most suitable stepping stone, even if Chu Yi has any dissatisfaction with them, as long as they can catch King Ning and dedicate it to Chu Yi, they dare to guarantee that Chu Yi will definitely look at them differently.
Whether it is Liu Zhu or Xiang Ping and even other officials, they also showed their intentions.
Brushing his beard, Xiang Ping frowned slightly and said, "That's what I said, but I'm afraid that King Ning has already escaped from Nanjing City at this time, even if we have the heart, we are powerless!" ”
Jiang Ning shook his head and said: "Impossible, judging from below, even if King Ning wants to escape, it is absolutely impossible for him to escape from Nanjing City at this time, otherwise, the Chief Administrator of Chu should also enter the city at this time." ”
Among the officials present, Jiang Ning is a general, and now that Jiang Ning is so sure, Liu Zhu and Xiang Ping couldn't help but glance at each other, and their eyes showed excitement.
King Ning was defeated, then he himself became the object of countless people's prying eyes, it can be said that in addition to his henchmen, I am afraid that there are definitely not a few people who will fight King Ning's idea at this time.
It's just that it's not so easy to take down King Ning as a qualification, and King Ning also has a group of henchmen by his side, so it's naturally not easy to win King Ning.
Of course, if King Ning was taken down so easily, I am afraid that it would not be their turn to fight King Ning's idea.
Xiang Ping slapped the table, and a gleam flashed in his eyes and said: "Everyone, it's decided, let's join forces and find a way to take down King Ning and dedicate it to the Chief Administrator of Chu, how to fight here in the future!" ”
These people are all powerful and wealthy gentry in Nanjing City, it can be said that they are deeply rooted in Nanjing City, and their relationship network is dense, and when these people are united, it is really not difficult to find out the news about King Ning.
Soon news came about King Ning.
I saw a servant panting and said to the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, King Ning is coming out of the palace at this moment, escorted by the Praetorian Guards, and a group of civil and military officers are heading towards the south city gate. At most, half an hour will be able to leave the city of Nanjing. ”
From the palace to the south gate of Nanjing City, it is at least a few miles away, if King Ning is lightly armed and only a dozen people, then ride a fast horse, at most tea kung fu can go out of the city.
But King Ning obviously didn't have the courage to give up everything, and he couldn't give up everything, at least he had to bring some of the cronies and officials who were attached to him, plus some property, and thousands of guards, and the group was at least thousands.
When there are more people, there are more things, and the speed will naturally not be fast, so if King Ning wants to go out of the city, it will be at least half an hour shorter, which will also give Liu Zhu, Jiang Ning and others time to start.
Liu Zhu's eyes narrowed, looked at Jiang Ning and said, "Lord Jiang, I don't know if you have any way to capture your King Ning?" ”
The corners of Jiang Ning's mouth showed a little sneer: "King Ning was defeated, who do you think King Ning and the others are most afraid of at this time?" ”
An official said with a smile without thinking about it: "Then there is no need to say, what King Ning and the others are most afraid of at this time is naturally Chu Yi and the imperial court soldiers and horses." ”
Jiang Ning nodded and said: "Yes, King Ning and the others must be panicked at this time, once they see the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, they are afraid that they will collapse on the spot, even if it is those Praetorian Guards, it is impossible to give King Ning their lives again." ”
Xiang Ping was slightly stunned, as if he understood Jiang Ning's intentions, and looked at Jiang Ning with a little consternation on his face, "You...... You don't want us to pretend to be the imperial army, do you? ”
Jiang Ning chuckled and said: "We are not pretending, we are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, but we are only forced by the ferocity of King Ning to pretend to surrender, and now that the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court are coming, we naturally want to set things right and return to the imperial camp." ”
The crowd looked at Jiang Ning with a straight face, an impassioned look, and they didn't know whether they were hypnotized by Jiang Ning, or they hypnotized themselves, one by one, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and said excitedly: "Well said, we are in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and now it's time to set things right and return to the imperial court camp." ”
Originally, everyone gathered a large number of people, and at this time, under the leadership of Jiang Ning and others, they raised the banner of the imperial court, and chased after King Ning under the support of thousands of soldiers and horses.
King Ning sat in the carriage, listening to the noise around him, his face was very pale and panicked.
In King Ning's view, all this is like a dream, when he started the army, it can be said that all the way is like a broken bamboo, even Anqing, Nanjing City are all down in one drum, at the beginning King Ning thought that he was really the destiny of heaven, it was the destiny of the Son of Heaven.
Therefore, after breaking through the city of Nanjing, he did not hesitate and directly ascended the throne as emperor, but when he became emperor, it seemed that all the good luck was used up at once, and there was a continuous stream of bad news.
Whether it was the destruction of Nanchang City, or the destruction of Jiujiang and Anqing by Wang Shouren, or the destruction of Li Zhen's tens of thousands of troops led by Chu Yi in one battle.
Anyway, since he ascended the throne, everything has changed, as if God has directly abandoned him.
I thought that I could sit in Nanjing City, and then unify Jiangnan, lead the army to the north, break through the Beijing Division, and truly become the lord of the world.
As a result, in just over half a month, the world was turned upside down, and even the city of Nanjing was breached by the imperial court, and he suddenly became an outlaw emperor from a high emperor.
A fist smashed on the coffee table beside him, King Ning gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Chu Yi, Chu Yi, I can't wait to break your body into ten thousand pieces!" ”
Wan Rui, who was sitting on the side, lowered his head and sighed lightly in his heart.
As King Ning's most trusted chamberlain, he is naturally a high position in the new dynasty established by King Ning, even if he loses Nanchang City, he is just scolded by King Ning for a few words, and then he handed over the palace to him to take charge.
He hadn't experienced this kind of high-mindedness for a long time, and as a result, he was going to flee with King Ning, and that kind of gap naturally made Wan Rui very uncomfortable.
There was chaos in the city, and many defeated troops burned and looted directly in the city, after all, the chaotic army was the most terrible, especially in the case of a big defeat, and many demons suppressed in the hearts of many soldiers were released.
Originally, when King Ning entered the city, some of the gentry and powerful families were affected by the chaos of soldiers, and it was only half a month, and these people just breathed a sigh of relief, but there was another wave.
Even with the previous lessons, many powerful and gentry families have also strengthened their defenses, but in the final analysis, there are really not many powerful and gentry families who really have a large number of families and can resist a large number of rebellious armies.
In the huge city of Nanjing, when the rebellious army still made chaos, I don't know how many people suffered from military disasters.
King Ning even saw through the window above the carriage a group of rebels rushing into a mansion like a fierce god, and soon there was a burst of screams and fighting in the mansion.
It's a pity that even if he sees such a situation, King Ning is powerless against those chaotic troops, even King Ning himself does not dare to collect these chaotic troops at this time.
King Ning hadn't forgotten that Chu Yi had offered a reward for his head in front of many armies before, it was the temptation of Feng Bo, he didn't even dare to fully believe these cronies under his command, let alone those chaotic troops.
People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, in case he gathers a group of rebel troops, and as a result, these rebel armies are instigated, they cut him down, and then dedicate it to Chu Yi as a qualification for promotion, then wouldn't he die unjustly.
Therefore, when King Ning saw the evil scene of those chaotic troops, he did not mean to send people to restrain the chaotic army, but urged the Praetorian Guards to speed up.
Seeing that the city gate in front of him was in sight, it was more than a hundred feet away, and suddenly there was a shout behind him: "Your Majesty stays, Your Majesty stays!" ”
The shout made King Ning slightly stunned, and looked at Wan Rui suspiciously.
Wan Rui quickly got out of the carriage, but in the blink of an eye, he heard Wan Rui say to King Ning: "Your Majesty, it's Lord Xiang, Lord Liu and others, they are shouting Your Majesty!" ”
King Ning's face showed a little puzzlement, but all his cronies were on the road with the team at this time, and the Xiang Ping, Liu Zhu and others that Wan Rui said were not his henchmen, so King Ning couldn't understand what these people were shouting about.
However, King Ning said to Wan Rui: "You send someone to ask what they want to do!" ”
Naturally, the team that was originally out of the city also stopped, and Wan Rui sent someone to ask Xiang Ping what he wanted to do.
Xiang Ping, Jiang Ning and others saw King Ning's team stop, and suddenly their eyes showed a little joy, just when they were still more than ten zhang away from King Ning's team, Jiang Ning suddenly shouted: "All soldiers, follow me to arrest the anti-thief King Ning, the chief manager has an order, arrest King Ning, and seal the chaos!" ”
Suddenly, thousands of troops erected the imperial court flags one by one, and then rushed towards King Ning's convoy with a shout.
King Ning was in the carriage, but he clearly heard the shouts outside the carriage, and King Ning almost fainted in anger.
He never thought that Liu Zhu and Xiang Ping would change so quickly, you must know that when he entered the city, these people were the ones who accepted him into the city as internal responses, otherwise, he would not have been promoted to the official positions of Liu Zhu and Xiang Ping.
As a result, these people actually led people to arrest him, needless to say, these people wanted to use him as a resource for promotion.
"Damn, damn, these villains, they are so repeated, I am really blind, why didn't I slaughter them in the first place!"
However, while King Ning scolded angrily, he did not forget to order his forbidden army to resist, and Li Zhenshan personally led a part of the forbidden army to meet him.
It's a pity that these forbidden troops were already in a state of panic, and when they saw Jiang Ning and others playing the banner of the imperial court, they only thought that the imperial army had been killed.
The previous thunder left a deep impression on them, don't look at the fact that these Praetorian Guards have not collapsed, in fact, the army's heart has already been chaotic, just like the frightened bird.
Li Zhenshan shouted, but as a result, most of the forbidden army did not accompany Li Zhenshan to meet Jiang Ning and the others at all, but turned around and fled.
"Oh no, the imperial army is coming, everyone flee!"
The collapse of the army is like this, once it collapses, even if a famous general like Bai Qi is in charge, it is impossible to recover the decline.
King Ning, who had just stepped out of the carriage, looked extremely neat, and the Praetorian Guard, which he relied on as the last reliance, collapsed all of a sudden, and King Ning was dumbfounded.
The 3,000 Praetorian Guards, excluding some of the people who were killed on the city wall, still had more than 2,000 people, but at this moment, they suddenly collapsed, and only a few hundred people were left to follow behind Li Zhenshan.
These hundreds of people are the absolute loyalists of King Ning, even if they surrender, it is the kind that cannot be pardoned, for them, surrender is death, and desperate is death, so they have no choice but to fight to the death by King Ning's side.
Seeing the collapse of King Ning's Praetorian Guard, Jiang Ning and the others couldn't help but show excitement in their eyes.
Sure enough, they were right to bet, these guards under King Ning were really like frightened birds, as long as they could win King Ning for a few miles, then they would have a settlement in the second half of their lives.
Jiang Ning waved the long knife in his hand and shouted excitedly: "All the soldiers, follow me to arrest the anti-king!" ”
