Chapter 461: Shameless
When Mu Hua Li Falcon was excitedly preparing to attack Jinling City in Huabao Mountain, the situation in Jinling City had changed dramatically.
At this time, the city guard camp had cleared the shadows in the camp.
Therefore, under the order of Zongzheng Temple, the city guard camp took the lead in launching an attack on the old Jin king.
And the old Jin king did not stop there, he directly transferred all the Jin king's personal guards back to the old Jin king's mansion.
At the same time, more than 200 horses and iron horsemen under his command were also arranged by him on the periphery of the mansion, ready to charge at any time.
However, due to the large number of soldiers in the city guard camp, the old Jin king still did not act rashly.
So the two sides are at a stalemate.
In this regard, Lu He, the commander of the city guard battalion, also sent a request for reinforcements to the Yaowu army.
He wanted to wait until the Yaowu army came to kill all of the subordinates of the old Jin king.
So when Lu He's letter was delivered to Zheng Yu, Zheng Yu couldn't help but smile disdainfully.
"Humph! Lu He, this idiot, really thought that I would obey the orders of those old people in Zongzheng Temple! β
"Zheng Lang, since this Lu He has come to write a letter, we might as well stab him directly in the back, so that the city guard camp will inevitably collapse completely."
Princess Chengping snuggled into Zheng Yu's arms and proposed.
"Princess, bear with me, although I have won over most of the generals in the Yaowu Army, there are still some guys who obviously have different ambitions, I must dispose of this group of guys first, otherwise they will be resisted by them whether they deal with Zongzheng Temple or let the grassland army enter the city."
Zheng Yu gently pinched Princess Chengping's face and said.
And Princess Chengping, who is already in her forties, is showing a shy posture like a girl.
"As the commander of the Yaowu Army, isn't it just a matter of words that you want to kill those disobedient generals?"
"Your Royal Highness Princess, what you said is not right, although I am the commander of the Yaowu Army, I must also balance the interests of the entire Yaowu Army, otherwise I can be recognized by everyone, and I may also be spurned by everyone."
As a qualified commander, Zheng Yu knew that although his power came from the Zongzheng Temple and the imperial court, his prestige came from the soldiers of the Yaowu Army.
"It's really troublesome, but even if the Yaowu Army can't directly attack a city guard camp from behind, at least it can't let the old Jin King fall into the dilemma of being surrounded!"
After all, this old Jin King is the uncle of Emperor Shengheng, and Princess Chengping, as the daughter of Emperor Shengheng, she and the old King Jin are also family.
Therefore, Princess Chengping did not want to see this elder who was loyal to her father killed.
"Don't worry, the old Jin King still has a lot of troops in his hands, and I don't believe that the old Jin King only has such a little hole card in his hand."
Zheng Yu knew the city of the old Jin King very well, as one of the great elders of Zongzheng Temple, how could he underestimate the strength of Zongzheng Temple.
"What does Zheng Lang mean is that there are other soldiers in the hands of the old Jin King?"
Princess Chengping looked at Zheng Yu incredulously.
Although Zheng Yu said it lightly, in the ears of Princess Chengping, the old Jin King immediately looked terrifying.
"I don't know if he has any other soldiers in his hands, but I am sure that if the city guard battalion is really determined to attack, then they will inevitably suffer heavy losses."
Zheng Yu then said.
At this time, the old Jin King that Zheng Yu was talking about was sitting in his mansion with his eyes closed.
"The soldiers of the Wangshang City Guard Camp have surrounded our mansion, what should we do now!"
Ma Zheng, the personal butler of the old Jin King, asked a little nervously at this time.
He had just seen through the crack in the door of the mansion that the outside was already surrounded by soldiers from the city guard camp.
"Old horse! What a system of panic! β
The old Jin King slowly opened his eyes, and then said to Ma Zheng with a dissatisfied expression.
"But Your Majesty, our mansion has been completely surrounded by the camp of the city guards, although we still have a lot of Jin king's personal guards and those Houma iron horsemen, but the number of people on both sides is still far from the same."
Ma Zheng still said worriedly.
"Who told you that there are many people in the city guard camp?"
The old Jin King took Ma Zheng's arm, slowly stood up, and then moved his body.
"So the king has other armies in his hands?"
As soon as Ma Zheng heard that the old Jin king said that their number was not less than the number of the city guard camp, he immediately thought that the old Jin king should have other armies in his hands.
"The army? No, no, no, I only have these more than 300 Jin kings' guards and 200 horses and iron horses in my hands now. β
The old Jin King shook his head and said.
"But there are four or five thousand soldiers in this city guard battalion, how can we, the five hundred, beat them? What's more, they also have the support of the Yaowu Army and the Zongzheng Temple. β
Ma Zheng is now also a little confused by the confident posture of the old Jin King.
He didn't understand where the old Jin King's self-confidence came from.
"Old Ma, you have been with me all your life, but you have always been so little growing."
The old king of Jin looked at Ma Zheng with some hatred and said.
"The old slave is a knife in the king's hand, and I will cut it wherever you ask me to do it, and you should do those things that use your brains!"
Ma Zheng has been serving the old Jin king for so many years, so he knows the temper of the old Jin king.
Although the words of the old Jin king seemed to be complaining about himself, Ma Zheng knew that the old Jin king's words actually did not really blame him.
"Something that has no interest, I want to think about the same batch of robes as you at the beginning, which one is not the pillar of my Jin Kingdom, only you have been following me in a daze."
The old Jin King knocked Ma Zheng's head twice with his hand.
"Your Majesty, don't try to deceive me, go and ask those fellows which one of them doesn't envy me now. If you let them swap with me now, I don't know if you see if they will break their heads and scramble. β
Ma Zheng said proudly.
"Okay, if I don't have anything to do with you here, it's almost time to give this Lu River a little color, otherwise he really thinks I'm a soft persimmon!"
The old Jin King then walked out of the mansion.
As soon as he appeared outside the mansion, Lu He saw him at a glance.
"Lord Lu He, what are you doing here? Why did you lead troops to besiege my old man's mansion? β
The old Jin King looked at Lu He and immediately asked with a smile.
"Your Royal Highness the King of Old Jin, why do you need to ask knowingly?"
Lu He saw that the old Jin King was asking knowingly, so he said with a disdainful face.
"Hey, I'm getting older, and it's inevitable that I can't remember some things clearly, so please ask Lord Lu to explain things clearly."
The old Jin King was not annoyed when he saw Lu He's arrogant attitude.
"Hmph, Mudhua, don't pretend to be garlic here, you ordered the thugs to wreak havoc in Jinling City for your own selfish desires, and you yourself sent your guards to burn, kill and loot everywhere in the city, it's a crime that is not punishable."
Lu He saw that the old Jin King was so shameless, so he could only shout angrily.
"Really? Do you have any evidence that I ordered the mob to wreak havoc in Jinling City? β
The old Jin King looked at the angry Lu He with a smile on his face and said.
"We have arrested a large number of rioters, and according to their explanations, it is your old Jin King who instructed them to commit such atrocities!"
Lu He pointed at the old Jin King and then said loudly.
"Hehehe! If you want to add to the crime, you say that I instruct the mob to cause chaos, but I want to say that this is what you slander me at all! β
The old Jin King's face suddenly turned cold, and then he said in a cold tone.
"Humph! The old king of Jin dares to do it, but he doesn't dare to be a man! β
Lu He laughed angrily.
For Lu He's ridicule, the old Jin King didn't seem to hear it.
"Since you said that those thugs were not instructed by you, but it is true that you sent your Jin king's personal guards and Houma Iron Cavalry to the north of the city to attack and kill the personal guards of other feudal kings?"
Lu He continued with a cold face.
"Wrong, my Jin king's personal guards are not the personal guards of the vassal king, and my people are all villains with bad intentions!"
The old king of Jin said proudly with his head held high.
"! Those people are clearly the personal guards of the vassal kings, but why have they become villains when they come to your mouth? Could it be that the truth of the world comes from your mouth? β
Lu He was once again shocked by the shamelessness of the old Jin King, and had nothing to say.
"Huh! Lu He, let me ask you, why did those vassal princes and guards suddenly go to the north of the city together? β
"Those vassal princes' guards went to the north of the city to find more than a thousand people in Sizhou County."
Lu He replied with a frown.
"Okay, then let me ask you why these vassal princes' guards are looking for those people from Sizhou County?"
The old Jin King continued to ask.
"That's because Zongzheng Temple needs more than 1,000 people to defend Jinling City."
Lu He continued to answer in a loud voice.
"Then let me ask you, since Zongzheng Temple needs more than 1,000 people to defend Jinling City, why don't they send people to negotiate with those more than 1,000 people in an open manner, but instead use hundreds of heavily armed vassal kings to go there?"
The old Jin King suddenly raised his voice, and then asked sharply.
As soon as his words came out, Lu He didn't know how to explain it for a while.
In fact, Lu He also knew very well what the vassal kings of Zongzheng Temple were thinking, it was nothing more than that they wanted to send more than 1,000 people from this Sizhou county as cannon fodder to the front line of Jinling City.
But he couldn't say this directly, after all, Zongzheng Temple's idea was selfish no matter what.
So everyone knows about it, but no one wants to talk about it.
After all, everyone thinks that it is better to send people from Sizhou County to be cannon fodder than to send themselves out as cannon fodder.
"Why can't you speak? Or do you can't say it yourself? β
The old Jin King saw that Lu He was no longer talking, so he immediately asked with a disdainful face.
"Well, since you don't talk about it, it's up to me to say that the group of sanctimonious guys in Zongzheng Temple just want more than a thousand people to use them as cannon fodder."
The old Jin King said the reason in one sentence.
"Since you are talking about this, then I have to ask the old King of Jin why you sent a large number of Jin King guards to ambush there, and even the Eight Ox Crossbows and Hou Ma Iron Cavalry were used."
Lu He is not a stupid person, and he can't even let the old Jin King gain the upper hand in this confrontation.
So he immediately turned the conversation and continued to complain.
"My people have long known the intentions of Zongzheng Temple, and in order to protect the more than 1,000 innocent people of Sizhou County, they will ambush there in advance to protect them."
The old Jin King continued to talk nonsense.
Hearing the shameless words of the old Jin King, Lu He couldn't hold back any longer.
"Fart, Mudhua I, Lu He, have never seen such a brazen person as you in my life."
Lu He's loud shout made everyone present hear it clearly.
"Humph! Lu He, you are really a traitor who openly insulted the vassal king, and now you don't apologize quickly! β
Ma Zheng on the side saw that Lu He was completely angry, and he immediately continued to provoke.
In Ma Zheng's opinion, the old Jin king of his family has never been a person who likes to talk to others.
But today, it was unusual, and he confronted Lu He in front of the battle with the city guard camp, which was obviously delaying time.
Although he didn't know why the old Jin king did this, he vaguely guessed that the old Jin king was waiting for reinforcements, so he took over the old Jin king's words and wanted to continue to delay time.
And on the side of the Lu River, like the old Jin king, the reason why he is willing to talk here with the old Jin king is also to delay time and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
"Alright, Lao Ma doesn't have to quarrel with them anymore, our reinforcements have arrived."
Just as Lao Ma was about to have a war of words with Lu He, the voice of the old Jin King came faintly.
When the old horse heard this, he immediately stood on tiptoe and looked towards the back of the city guard camp, and saw that a large number of people with weapons were killing them behind the city guard camp.
"Your Majesty, this is?"
Ma Zheng looked at those murderous guys with an incredulous expression.
And the reason why Ma Zheng will feel incredible is entirely because these murderous guys are wearing all kinds of clothes.
Some of them wore short shirts, some wore long robes, and some wore long robesΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
But none of them were wearing armor.
What's even more shocking is that the weapons in the hands of these guys are also varied.
"Didn't you just say that our numbers are not as good as the city guard camp? Do you look at us now that we are still fewer than them? β
The old Jin King put his hands behind his back and said with a sarcastic smile on his face.
But he wasn't mocking Ma Zheng.
"Are these people the king?"
The person who was previously arranged by the Ninth Rank to create chaos in the city was Ma Zheng.
Therefore, when he saw that these reinforcements who came were dressed in various clothes, he immediately thought of this ninth-rate.
But then, after a moment's thought, he broke his own speculation.
"It is impossible that most of the people of the lower ninth class are now causing trouble in the city, and there is no way that there are so many of them."
Ma Zheng had just taken a closer look at the reinforcements that had been killed, at least five or six thousand people.
And as far as he knew, there were only five or six or seven people in the underground nine streams combined, and most of them were still porters.
"When you're done fighting, you'll know who these people are!"
The old King of Jin deliberately sold a pass, and then immediately commanded the guards of the King of Jin and the Houma Iron Horse.
"Listen to me! Kill me! β
With his angry shout, those guards of the King of Jin and the Houma Iron Cavalry who were waiting for the battle immediately rushed towards the city guard camp.
For a while, the city guard camp directly became a belly and back enemy.
