As he was talking, he heard the ringing of the bell outside.

Bi Ji turned his head to look at the voice, and saw that Shen Cheng led a team of people and came triumphantly.

Wherever he passed, the soldiers praised one after another, and each face had a look of envy.

"General, Army."

When he arrived, Shen Cheng hugged his fist at Yao Yu, with obvious arrogance on his face.

Yao Yu looked it up and down: "Where have you been?" ”

Shen Cheng pretended to be very humble and said: "The general army, the last general specially prepared a gift for the general army." ”

As he spoke, Shen Cheng turned around and waved his hand: "Come on, bring it up." ”

As Shen Cheng's words fell, the soldiers and horses on the left and right behind him separated, and immediately after, dozens of sergeants pressed Sima Rui's wife and concubine of the Langya Palace's palace and Sima Rui's two youngest sons to come to him.

In addition, ten large heavy boxes were also carried up.

When Yao Yu saw it, he tilted his head and looked at it.

Shen Cheng was very excited and explained to Yao Yu: "General, army." That Sima Rui intended to flee back to Jiangdong. I found it blocked. As a result, this kid didn't repent, and he wanted to bribe me with money. Is I, Shen Cheng, such a greedy person? No, I brought Sima Rui and his money back to you. ”

Shen Cheng said, with an expression waiting for praise.

Yao Yu naturally knew what Shen Cheng was thinking. is not stingy with his kind words, what Shen Chengyong's martial morality, can be called the first in the army, this simple sentence, then Shen Cheng couldn't help himself with joy, and thanked Yao Yu again and again.

Yao Yu laughed, leaving aside the proud Shen Cheng and the jealous Yao Bao and the others, and walked directly in front of Sima Rui, looked up and down, and sneered: "King Langya, don't come unharmed." ”

Sima Rui struck a stir. Without saying a word, he threw it on the ground with a pop, and begged for mercy at Yao Yu in every possible way: "General, army, Sima Rui knows that he is wrong." I also hope that the generals and soldiers will be remembered for my sake. Spare my life. ”

Yao Yu said in his mouth: "Your Highness, don't say that." It's not that I don't want to spare you, but Your Majesty said it. As a close relative of the clan, you don't want to support the society and report to the country. On the contrary, they are acting against each other in the Jiangdong territory and trying to divide one side. Set up your own small court. This move was a great disappointment to His Majesty's expectations. So, Your Highness, if you want to blame it, don't blame me. You can only be blamed for going too far. ”

Sima Rui panicked: "Great, general, army, you, you can't kill me." You, you kill my words. The military and civilians of Xuzhou will definitely resist to the end. ”

"Don't say yourself so important, the people of Xuzhou have been oppressed by you for so many years. I've long been dissatisfied with your notification. Believe it or not, as long as I cross the river with a letter, Xuzhou can be passed on? ”

Sima Rui's face was ugly: "Don't forget the general." My son Sima Chong is sitting in Xuzhou and holds the military and political power in Xuzhou. ”

Yao Yu laughed: "So, you're going to make a bet with me?" Okay, then I'll make a bet with you. Let's see if Xuzhou is what you said. Come on, press me down. ”

What else did Sima Rui want to say. But the people around him no longer gave him this opportunity, and Sima Rui was forcibly dragged down.

After Sima Rui was also pulled down, Yao Yu gathered all the soldiers and issued a combat mission.

At the meeting, everyone looked excited and asked Yao Yu if he wanted to send troops to Xuzhou and seize the land of Huaisi.

"Xuzhou don't worry, I said, this place will definitely take refuge in us within ten days. All we have to do is figure out how to take this place. In addition to Xuzhou, we have another more important task. ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at Yao Yu in puzzlement.

Yao Yu pointed his hand to the map: "Although Sima Rui was arrested by us, Jiankang City is not owned by us at this time. Gangneung is close to the front line. If there is no danger around, forget it. There are no requirements for being a capital city. In comparison, Jiankang was the ancient capital of the former dynasty. In this place, there is a palace built by Sun Wu for decades. So I plan to take Jiankang City as undamaged as possible. Then play the Son of Heaven and move the capital here, which is conducive to the century-old rule of the imperial court. What do you guys think? ”

In fact, Yao Yu's words are nonsense, he just wants to turn Jiankang into his second base camp.

In Yao Yu's mind, Jiangling, and even the whole of Jingzhou, is its own basic disk, existing as a unique force outside the court.

In this way, it will be more convenient for you to act when you are in the city of Jiankangdu.

Besides, throughout the history of the past dynasties, Jiankang is more suitable than Gangneung as a capital city.

In his imagination, he let a relative guard Jingzhou, and he was in Jiankang, echoing each other and further controlling the court.

Otherwise, if the Son of Heaven is not in Jiangdong, and he is no longer in Jiangdong, it will be easy for Jiangdong to re-enter chaos.

Since the development of Jingzhou, the people have been obedient and the people are dependent, even if they are not in Jingzhou, nothing will go wrong.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Yao Yu said this to everyone.

Of course, he also took care of the idea of the ancestor in the army, so he didn't directly call the name of Sima Ye, the little son of heaven, after all, he still understood this.

Both of them are loyal to the royal family, not Yao Yu.

So, he works on the surface, so he still has to do it.

Sure enough, after Yao Yu finished speaking, he looked at Zu Wugu.

The two pondered for a while and nodded: "What the general said is very true. If the capital is moved to Jiankang, the imperial court will be invincible, and it will be able to better control the land of Jiangdong Sanwu. It's just this Xuzhou..."

Yao Yu smiled: "I said, the land of Xuzhou, I can get it at my fingertips." For now, we just need to take the land of Sanwu as soon as possible. ”

Seeing that Yao Yu was so confident, Zu Qiwu Gu couldn't say anything.

In this way, the decision was passed, Yao Yu ordered Yong to be the pioneer according to Zu Ti, and Shen Chengwu was the second front army. He led the generals and the large army to do the recombination. Nearly 70,000 troops marched to the city of Jiankang.

After Sima Rui led the crowd to escape from Jiankang, it was the two brothers Xie Kun and Xie Pei who were left to defend the city.

The two were ordered by Sima Rui to lead 3,000 remnants of soldiers to defend this place.

When Sima Rui was besieged before, the brothers also sent reinforcements, but they were defeated by Shamosong in a battle.

Now, tens of thousands of troops have come back to shoot their horses, and the entire Jiankang City is impassable. All of a sudden, it made the soldiers and civilians in the city panic.

Fortunately, the people have heard of the name of benevolence and righteousness of the Jingzhou Army. Naturally, don't worry about how.

On the contrary, those soldiers, all of them were afraid that Yao Yuqiu would settle accounts after the autumn, and defined themselves as thieves who aided and abetted the abuse, and they were panicked all day long.

Even before Yao Yu's army began to attack the city, in just two days, countless soldiers secretly threw away their armor and ran home to hide.

The Xie Kun and Xie Pei brothers could only watch, but they were powerless to stop it.
