Wan Rui glanced at the prince of Ning and said, "Don't worry, I believe that the prince has already received the news at this time!" ”

Anqing City

King Ning's army was mighty, with 60,000 soldiers and horses, known as 150,000 troops, and slaughtered under the city of Anqing.

The officials and generals in the city looked at the mighty army of King Ning under the city, and their faces were like earth.

The black pressure is overwhelming, and there is no edge in sight, it can be said that the momentum of King Ning's army is indeed amazing, at least many people have been suppressed.

The night was hazy, the north gate of Anqing City creaked and opened, and the rebels who quietly sneaked into the north gate saw the city gate open, and rushed into the city one by one howling.

Suddenly, the peace of the entire Anqing City was broken, and by the time dawn, Anqing City had already fallen into the hands of King Ning.

In the prefect's mansion, King Ning sat there with a smile on his face, while Fu Qing, the original prefect of the imperial court, stood respectfully in front of King Ning and said to King Ning: "Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness!" ”

Anqing City is the gateway to Nanjing, it can be said that if Anqing City is taken, then the next step can be to directly attack Nanjing City.

Anqing, as the barrier of Nanjing, has always been an important town, but such an important town was dedicated to King Ning by the prefect of Anqing without even resisting.

Originally, with the city defense of Anqing, coupled with the tens of thousands of troops in the city, even if King Ning had 100,000 troops, if he really wanted to break through Anqing City, as long as the defenders in the city defended it, they could hold out for at least ten days and half a month.

It's a pity that even a strong city can withstand a million troops, but it can't stop people's hearts.

King Ning stroked his beard, looked at Fu Qing and couldn't help laughing: "This time this king can easily take Anqing City, Master Fu is indispensable!" ”

Fu Qing said modestly: "The minister is just obeying the heavens, and His Royal Highness is the lord of the destiny of heaven. ”

King Ning clapped his hands with great satisfaction and exclaimed: "Okay, this king will borrow the auspicious words of the adult!" ”

While he was talking, a messenger came dressed in dust and was stopped outside the hall, King Ning couldn't help frowning and said, "What's the matter!" ”

Soon a letter from Nanchang City was presented to King Ning.

King Ning took the letter and flipped through it, couldn't help frowning, slapped the table and said angrily: "What a Wang Shouren, he dares to attack the idea of Nanchang City, it's really too deceitful!" ”

When the people in the hall heard this, they immediately understood what was going on, and Liu Yangzheng, Li Shishi and others all narrowed their eyes when they heard this.

Wang Shouren actually went to attack Nanchang City, you must know that most of their relatives are in Nanchang City, if Nanchang City is lost, it means that their relatives and family urine will fall into the hands of the imperial court.

All of a sudden, many people's eyes were on King Ning.

King Ning is not a fool, he doesn't know the importance of Nanchang City to him, not to mention that there are many subordinate relatives in Nanchang City, then Nanchang City is his lair.

If Nanchang City is lost, then his loss will be great.

Thinking of Wang Shouren again, King Ning couldn't wait to break Wang Shouren's body into pieces.

"Wang Shouren, Wang Shouren, don't let this king catch you, otherwise, this king wants you to die without a place to be buried!"

After venting, King Ning's eyes fell on a group of people and said: "Everyone, now Wang Shouren is leading an army of 20,000 to besiege Nanchang City, and the prince has sent people to ask for help. ”

Liu Yangzheng took a deep breath and said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates think that Wang Shouren is not enough to worry about, only 20,000 soldiers and horses are not enough to break through Nanchang City!" ”

When a general heard this, he shook his head and said: "Lord Liu's words are wrong, since Wang Shouren dares to besiege Nanchang City, he must be somewhat sure, and His Royal Highness the Prince has sent people to ask for help, which means that Nanchang City is already in danger, if not, how could His Royal Highness the Prince send someone to ask for help?" ”

"That's right, Nanchang City is in danger, we definitely can't sit idly by!"

"To return to help, we must return to Nanchang City!"

For a while, the civil and military who were worried about the relatives and family members who stayed in Nanchang City couldn't help but speak one after another, and the meaning was obvious, that is, to implore King Ning to return to the army, destroy Wang Shouren first, and solve the crisis in Nanchang City.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous!"

At this time, Yang Tinghe broke off his drink, staring at the crowd with burning eyes and shouting: "Are you waiting for all the people who are not successful, is Nanchang City important, or Nanjing City is important, although Nanchang City is in crisis now, but there are still Yichun Wang, Shizi and tens of thousands of troops in the city, and it is definitely not a problem to hold on for some time, if we return to the army, what will happen to Nanjing City, and what should we do about the great cause of the prince?" ”

King Ning's eyes couldn't help but fall on Yang Tinghe's body, and he said with a straight expression: "Mr. Yang, in your opinion, what should this king do?" ”

Yang Tinghe took a step forward, looked at King Ning with an awe-inspiring expression and said: "Your Highness should quickly send troops to Nanjing City, only by capturing Nanjing City in one fell swoop and ascending the throne as emperor, can you have the capital to fight with the imperial court, otherwise once the imperial court reinforcements arrive, everything will be over!" ”

An official frowned and said: "But Nanchang City is as important, if Nanchang City is lost, what is the foundation of the prince's great cause?" ”

With a cold snort, Yang Tinghe said: "One Nanchang city is worth ten Nanchang cities, and I also ask the prince to focus on the overall situation." ”

Taking a deep breath, King Ning set his eyes on Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng.

Li Shishi sighed lightly and saluted King Ning and said: "Lord, the minister has received news that Zhu Houzhao has ordered Chu Yi to personally lead the army along the Grand Canal, and it will take at most half a month to arrive in Nanjing City......"

"What, Chu Yi is here!"

Many officials have heard of Chu Yi's name for a long time, Chu Yi is famous, it can be said that there are not many officials who do not mention Chu Yi's change, and when they learned that Chu Yi had led a large army to the south of the Yangtze River, everyone's expressions naturally changed greatly.

King Ning's eyes flashed with a fierce color and said: "Summoning the general Zheng Qi of Longxiang, be sure to assist King Yichun in dragging Wang Shouren, and wait until King Gu takes Nanjing City, there will be a heavy reward!" ”

While speaking, King Ning pulled out the sword at his waist, slashed off the corner of the table with a sword, and shouted angrily: "Everyone dares to speak up and those who return to help, there will be no mercy!" ”

Obviously, Chu Yi led the army south and deeply stimulated King Ning, even if he didn't take Chu Yi to heart in his mouth, King Ning was extremely jealous of Chu Yi.

Why do many gentry and magnates in Jiangnan strongly support him, in the final analysis, it is not because of Chu Yi, Chu Yi's existence makes many gentry and magnates in Jiangnan feel a great threat.

If it weren't for Chu Yi, King Ning knew very well that he would definitely not get the support of so many people.

Because of this, King Ning attaches great importance to Chu Yi, and the more he knows, the more he is afraid of Chu Yi.

Looking at the crowd, King Ning said in a deep voice: "The army will start tomorrow, and the lone king will take Nanjing City within three days and ascend the throne and become the emperor!" ”

The crowd in the hall was slightly stunned, and their faces showed a little excitement.

If you can really take Nanjing City, then when the time comes, King Ning will be the emperor, they will be the ministers of the dragon, such a great achievement, it is enough to make them prosperous and rich for a lifetime, as for the family members in Nanchang City, this moment does not seem to be so important.

Besides, King Ning has also sent an order to Long Xiang's general Zheng Qi, believing that with King Yichun and Zheng Qi, it should be enough to deal with just one Wang Shouren. And the most important thing they should do is to break through the city of Nanjing, and then assist King Ning to ascend the throne and become emperor, and fight for a brilliant future.

Originally, there was no major war in Anqing City, so after a little repair, the army went straight to Nanjing City.

Anqing is only half a day away from Nanjing, and the big ship is only half a day.

Because Anqing was attacked from the inside, Nanjing City did not receive any news at all, which means that at this time, Nanjing City actually did not know that Anqing City had fallen into the hands of King Ning.

When King Ning's army crossed the river and appeared outside the city of Nanjing, the city of Nanjing was completely shaken.

The chief officials of the six departments of Nanjing, the garrison eunuchs, and a group of nobles gathered in the hall one by one, many people showed a sad look on their faces, and some people also looked calm, but there was a bit of joy in the depths of their eyes.

Just when a group of people were talking in a chaotic voice, several figures came over, and the person at the head was Xu Li, the Duke of Wei.

Xu Li's face was solemn, and beside him were Fan Heng, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, and the six Shangshu.

Seeing Xu Li and others coming over, a group of officials hurriedly saluted a few people.

Xu Li and the others sat down in their hands, faintly headed by Xu Li, at this time Xu Li glanced at Fan Heng and the six Shangshu, of course, he didn't let him sit on the main seat, took a deep breath and glanced at everyone and said: "Everyone, this father, Fan Eunuch and all Shangshu lords, please come, so I think even if this prince doesn't say it, everyone should know it in their hearts!" ”

Everyone naturally knew that needless to say, it was for King Ning's soldiers to come to the city.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xu Li slapped the table and said angrily: "The prefect of Anqing, Ning Anguo and other officials colluded with the thieves, causing Anqing City, the gateway to Nanjing, to surrender without a fight, which is really a heinous crime!" It is impossible to atone for his sins! ”

Seeing that Xu Li was furious, everyone lowered their heads one by one and did not dare to speak.

After venting, Xu Li was very old, and he took a breath of relief, and then said: "Everyone talk about it, now that King Ning's soldiers are in the city, how can I resist it!" ”

Fan Heng sat aside, squinting his eyes, and said slowly like a vicious snake: "Our family knows that some of you must collude with King Ning, but our family does not know what to do, as long as you are lost, our family will not pursue it, and even as long as you report the rebels of King Ning in the city, our family will also ask for credit for you from the Son of Heaven, everyone, please think twice!" ”

Saying that, Fan Heng knocked on the table and said with a sneer: "The chief manager has personally led the army south, what choice should you make, don't make mistakes!" ”
