0890 Unrighteous World
The men and horses of Jingkou have always been in a state of combat readiness, so the dispatch is also very fast, and the 20,000 horses were quickly assembled.
Of course, only Chen Baxian and a few of his henchmen knew the specific situation of the dispatch of men and horses, and the other soldiers were ordered not to talk and inquire about the military situation, so it was not clear how many men and horses were dispatched to Jiankang to obey orders.
The 20,000 horses were divided into several parts, among which the boat division team was led by Hou Andu, and traveled up the Yangtze River and went straight to Stone Town. The land foot riding was led by Chen Baxian and Zhou Wenyu, and they traveled day and night along the south bank of the Yangtze River to Jiankang City.
The most dangerous part of this raid is that his whereabouts and intentions were exposed during the journey, so that he was sniped in the middle of the journey by Wang Shengbi's mobilization army, which was really a loss of ground.
Therefore, Chen Baxian led the army to set off in the middle of the night, trying to shorten the time that the army was exposed to the blue sky and white sun, and reduce the situation of being watched by the soldiers and civilians along the way.
Although there are many inconveniences in marching at night, because of the new men and horses, coupled with various rewards and incentives, the physical strength and morale are all very abundant, so the speed of the march is not slow. By daylight, the team had already covered nearly half of the journey.
From Jingkou to Jiankang is a relatively busy traffic artery, so there are not a few travelers and soldiers along the way, in order not to make the troops appear too impatient and disturb the soldiers and civilians along the way, Chen Baxian ordered the troops to slow down, and claimed to be ordered to enter Beijing along the way, but it did not cause any riots and suspicions.
Due to the slowing down of the journey during the day, when it was almost dark in the evening, Chen Baxian's men and horses still had not arrived at the place agreed upon when the army set off before.
Hou Andu, who was entering by boat in the middle of the river, found no trace of the land army at the predetermined location, and he was greatly frightened in his heart, and hurriedly landed on the shore to find Chen Baxian's location, and said angrily with his hand on his saddle: "The last general will wait for the common lord and the prince to make trouble, in order to seek wealth and wealth, since they have embarked on this journey, they are all thieves who have committed the following crimes, how can they hesitate to look back! If it doesn't work out, and the whole body dies, how can there be any reason to die before and then live!"
Hearing that Hou Andu misunderstood that he was suspicious and hesitated, Chen Baxian didn't explain much, but said with a smile: "An Du taught me that everything is reasonable, with this brave man, everything will be done!"
After saying this, he ordered the whole army to speed up, and Hou Andu also breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing this, and then apologized to Chen Baxian before rushing back to the river to board the boat and continue to advance towards Stone Town.
Not to mention the people of Jingkou who are fighting for land and water, there is no abnormality in Jiankang City recently, although Wang Seng is disgusted with Chen Baxian in his heart, he still does not regard it as an invincible enemy of life and death.
He was still thinking in his heart that he would wait until the envoy Jiang Yang returned to tell Chen Baxian's attitude and response to this recruitment before he would consider the next steps to be taken against Jingkou, and before that, there was no additional attention to Jingkou.
After all, there is more than one thing that needs to be debated and troubled by Wang Seng at the moment, and he himself is not too outstanding in order to deal with chaos in addition to being proficient in Rong Brigade, army management, and war, etc., and he is also a little helpless in the face of the chaos in all directions, and he doesn't know where to start to resolve it.
Today, Wang Sangbi is dealing with matters related to Jiangzhou.
Wang Lin, this guy is a stinky villain, as long as he is where he is, there are all kinds of disputes, and before there was Emperor Liang Xiao Yi who could control and suppress him, but now he has become more unscrupulous, and he treats Wang Seng's various orders as a deaf ear, and acts recklessly in Jiangzhou, making the already chaotic and anxious situation a mess.
After reviewing the complaints and complaints sent to the court by the local heroes of Jiangzhou, Wang Sengbi held back his anger and secretly scolded Wang Lin's nonsense, but he still had to try his best to reply one by one to appease the emotions of these Jiangzhou heroes.
These so-called Nanchuan heroes, each of whom has troops to occupy one side, are themselves a little unruly, but they met Wang Lin, who is more perverse and violent than them.
However, the imperial court still needs to rely on these Jiangzhou heroes to intercept Xiao Bo in Lingnan, who is about to move and wants to lead the army north, and Wang Seng also needs them to contain Wang Lin, so as not to continue to move downstream after this guy is no longer restrained, so as to make it already be
The less stable downstream situation has become more chaotic.
Originally, Wang Shengbi wanted to hand over the task of replying to these Jiangzhou heroes to Xu Ling, who returned to China with Xiao Yuanming, but Xu Ling tried to write a few reply letters, the wording was too elegant and profound, and those Nanchuan heroes were unscholarly, vulgar and unliterate, I am afraid that they could not understand the court's appeasement and encouragement to them, so Wang Seng Biancai personally replied with a pen.
Wang Lin attracted too much hatred, Wang Sengbi was busy until nightfall, and even when his own soldiers entered to ask him if he wanted to eat dinner, he waved his hand and refused. Although this matter is not serious, if it is not handled properly, he will always feel a little uncomfortable.
When Wang Sangbi was still writing at the desk, suddenly there was a noisy commotion outside, Wang Sangbi was still quite sensitive to this, and after hearing these strange sounds, his heart suddenly became vigilant, and he hurriedly put down his pen and rushed out of the room, while asking the soldiers what happened, while quickly taking his armor.
The north side of Stone Town is connected to the slope, so the terrain of the city wall is not precipitous. After Hou Andu and his entourage stopped the boat and landed on the shore, they quickly put on their armor and dressed up, and then Hou Andu rushed towards the direction of Stone City with a long knife in hand.
At this time, the garrison of Stone Town was already lax, and it was suddenly attacked by the enemy, and it was also in chaos for a while. After rushing to the city, Hou Andu ordered the surrounding soldiers to lift him into the wall, and then walked left and right, killing a big one, and soon killed the city defense through a gap, and the soldiers rushed in, followed Hou Andu to the military government to continue to fight!
At the same time, the vanguard troops led by Chen Baxian also entered from the south of Stone Town, and directly defeated the defenders of Stone Town who had hastily gathered resistance.
At this time, Wang Shengbi in the military palace also knew that the city had been attacked by the enemy, although he was also quite panicked in his heart, but he still forced himself to calm down, and led his son Wang Wei, who was accompanying him, and about 100 personal soldiers in the tent to resist the battle in front of the straight hall.
However, with the influx of more and more enemy troops, Wang Sengbi's personal soldiers were also defeated by the rush, and they could only flee from Wang Sengbi's father and son, hoping to kill out of Stone City and flee to Jiankang.
However, after Chen Baxian and the two groups met in the city, how could he let Wang Shengbi escape from here again. Because the city was full of panicked and chaotic pawns, and it was difficult to distinguish in the dark, in order to find out the whereabouts of Wang Shengbi as soon as possible, Chen Ba first ordered the soldiers to stick to the gates of Zhufang, and he personally led a team of men and horses into the city to kill and pursue.
After some time, Wang Shengbi's position in the city was locked, and his men were leading the few remaining guards to resist stubbornly in a warehouse in the city. After Chen Ba got the news first, he led the crowd to kill the other side.
At this time, Wang Seng and his party were already close to running out of oil, and at this time he also knew who was attacking and killing, when he saw Chen Baxian coming here surrounded by all the soldiers, he couldn't help but shout angrily: "I am not unrighteous in the public, why did Chen Situ betray me?"
After Chen Ba heard this shout first, he responded loudly: "Isn't it fast for the former comrades to work hard and reward the royal family together? The public disobeys the old master, disturbs the court, and loses righteousness in the world, what does it mean that there is no wrongdoing!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to continue their attack. When he saw the enemy army swarming forward again, he pushed his son Wang Wei in front of him and continued to shout: "The former welcomes Zhenyang, and I have no choice but to attack, the army of Qi is attacking, just like Mount Tai pressing eggs, and the public did not lose his pawn to save him, but now he leads the people to attack, isn't it unrighteous? I implore Situ to live me, if I die, the government and the opposition will be chaotic, the relatives will be more painful, and the enemies will be faster. Besides, this has already been promised to the public household, and the public will endure the slaughter?"
Before, when Wang Seng and Chen Baxian had not turned against each other and cooperated seamlessly, they formed a child marriage with each other, that is, they wanted to marry Chen Baxian's daughter with their son Wang Wei, but because Wang Seng was widowed, he only made a marriage contract and did not get married. At this time, Wang Seng argued that he was at the end of the road, so he wanted to beg Chen Ba to leave himself a way to live first.
"What is righteous, a certain body can also be put out of it. If I harbor favoritism, Emperor Xiaoyuan's heroic spirit is above, how can I forgive me!"
After Chen Baxian made his last response, he withdrew and retreated into the formation, no longer responding to Wang Sengbi's cries of begging for mercy.
With the death of the only remaining guards around him, Wang Shengbi's father and son were also bound in this barn. Chen Baxian was willing to hang his dissenting henchmen and generals with his own hands, how could he pity the lives of Wang's father and son, and soon ordered the father and son to be hanged here.
did not show the head of Wang Seng to the public and leave a whole corpse for him, which can be regarded as Chen Baxian's only mercy to this close comrade-in-arms who once fought side by side. But it was not only the father and son who were killed on this day, and then when Chen Ba's first troops entered Jiankang City, they searched for Wang Seng and his pro-party, and the father and son were killed on the same day.
