The news of the rebellion of the displaced people outside the city spread quickly, and the central response was extremely fast, while closing the four gates to keep the capital safe, a group of forbidden troops immediately rushed to the four directions, wanting to exterminate this group of bandits as quickly as possible.

Unexpectedly, the bandits who were originally like chickens and dogs in the eyes of the forbidden army had extraordinary combat power, and in just half a day, the forbidden army lost as many as 1,000 people.

"Ridiculous!"

Crash!

Liu Heng was in a hurry, and swept all the pieces piled up on the desk to the ground.

It's too embarrassing, the elite forbidden army of Great Xia was caught off guard by the bandits composed of homeless people, and the casualties were as high as 1,000. z.br>

"This is what you tell me every day, the prosperous dynasty, the power of the Quartet. Since it is a prosperous dynasty, how can it be a homeless people? If it is coercive and coercive from all directions, why do you want to cause chaos?"

The ministers of the cabinet and the six ministers in the palace of diligence were all embarrassed, and bowed down to plead: "Your Majesty is angry!"

"Anger? The thieves have all been killed in the capital, how can you calm my anger?"

Liu Heng felt a hot pain on his face, and his pro-government was slapped in the face twice. Once it was the Liangyuan Holy Fire Illumination Sect that caused a rebellion, and now it is thousands of displaced people who have caused trouble in Gyeonggi, and the forbidden army that suppressed bandits has suffered heavy losses.

He glanced coldly at the Chinese martial arts of the hall and snorted coldly: "Hubu, has the food for disaster relief been distributed to all counties?" Why are so many displaced people being held hostage by bandits?"

Wen Tongxuan, the head of the household department, made a statement: "Back to Your Majesty, since the beginning of the disaster relief, the household department has allocated a total of 1.32 million taels of grain money, which has been delivered to the towns of Gyeonggi, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Liaodong."

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the displaced people in Gyeonggi are extremely suspicious, the Dragon Guards have never received any news of the gathering of displaced people in Gyeonggi, and all prefectures and counties have been prepared to provide relief to the victims, there is no reason for these displaced people to give up the porridge and food at their doorstep and come to the capital thousands of miles to survive."

Cao Jiugong's report relieved the household officials, but it must not be any one who was greedy for food and money for disaster relief and caused the rebellion of the displaced people, otherwise it would really be a lot of people.

Liu Heng also realized this, this disaster relief was the first thing he personally took to win the hearts of the people. The inspectors in various places are all his personally selected henchmen, and he cut down three moths in three days, and there is no reason to have problems in disaster relief.

The ministers in the palace were also puzzled, and at this time, Xia Shouzhong quietly entered the hall with a secret note, and whispered in Liu Heng's ear: "Emperor, there is news outside the city, and it is not the homeless people who are causing the rebellion but the Japanese robbers......

"Someone, armor!"

Boom!

"What nonsense?"

Jia Jing slapped the table violently, waking up the panicked Jia Yu.

He said to Mrs. Xing, who was stunned on the side, "Brother and sister, you go to Rongxi Hall to take care of your aunt first, and tell your aunt that Brother Cong and Lin Yatou have already avoided trouble in Fahua Temple, don't worry!"

Mrs. Xing hurriedly packed up the tea cups and other fragments scattered on the ground and retreated.

"Brother Jing, Brother Cong can't be fine! cough cough cough cough ......"

Jia Yu lost his former calmness and composure today, and the anxiety on his face was extremely obvious. Struggling to get up, he pulled the injuries on his body and coughed violently.

"Trouble, trouble, I want to see how you toss yourself to death!"

Jia Jing scolded fiercely, but the movements in his hands did not stop. pressed Jia Yu back on the bed, and then persuaded: "Don't worry, I have already asked people to send the news to the palace, there are so many nobles and civil and military relatives in Fahua Temple, and the palace has its own disposal."

Knock knock knock......

There was a knock at the door, and then Jia Jiu pushed open the door and said, "Old patriarch, general, the palace has sent someone here, and Your Majesty has sent the old patriarch to the palace to meet you!"

There is no shortage of food in Fahua Temple, and the food made is also a must-have in Beijing.

Although the bad news is one after another, the old man of Xia Lingxing always looks confident, and even gathers those lifters together at the plum blossom place in the temple and holds a small plum poetry party.

It wasn't until nightfall that he dragged his tired body back to the retreat, called Jia Cong to him, and said solemnly, "The Zhengcunba camp has been breached!"

"How is that possible? Zhengcun Dam

The garrison of 3,000 is where the essence of the Shenwu Central Defense is located, how can it be broken by a group of bandits?"

Zhengcunba is located in the middle of Tongzhou and the capital, less than two hours away from Fahua Temple. Shenwu Zhongwei has 3,000 garrisons here, guarding the throat of the official road from Tongzhou to the capital.

Xia Lingxing not only sent people to the capital to ask for help, but also directly borrowed Jia Cong's imperial gold order, printed it on the letter for help and sent it to Zhengcunba, but the messenger came back with an injury and told him the worst news.

The smoke of the Zhengcunba camp has not dispersed, and the corpses are all over the ground.

"The imperial court sent two armies of men and horses totaling more than 5,000 people, but unexpectedly, the northern army pursued the thieves and was ambushed by the thieves in Qinghedian, suffering heavy losses and casualties as high as 1,000."

Xia Lingxing drew a simple map on the paper, pointed to a point on the north side of the capital, and said, "The forbidden army that can ambush more than 2,000 people, and the forbidden army can also suffer so many casualties, and there are no less than 4,000 thieves. Xiao Jia Qianhu, how many homeless people are there in front of the East City Gate? There are more enemies than we think!"

Jia Cong stared at the places that Xia Lingxing gradually added on paper, and along the four directions of the capital, a large number of bandits appeared in Zhengcunba on the east side, Qinghedian on the north side, Wang Pingkou on the west side, and Hongren Bridge on the south side.

Moreover, there are scattered thieves and bandits outside the four gates of the capital, and there is a situation of isolating internal and external news. At least, Jia Cong and the others, who were temporarily avoiding Fahua Temple, did not dare to risk returning to the capital without being escorted by a large number of forbidden troops.

Even the day after Zhengcunba and Qinghedian were captured by bandits, these news had just been sent to the capital. Where can this be done by the homeless people, even if you add the Japanese bandits, you can't do it.

Xia Lingxing handed an open letter to Jia Cong and sighed, "Look at it, this is someone sent by Cao Jiugong in the evening."

The letter does not say much, but it is extremely surprising news: Yingzhou Zuotunwei, who is stationed in Shunyi, has rebelled!

And the reason for their rebellion was extremely absurd, and there were more than 12,000 people in the whole guard, half of whom believed in the White Lotus Sect. Under the leadership of the commander Qiu Tong, after plundering Shunyi County, he went all the way south along the Bai River and broke through the Zhengcun Dam, which had already engulfed nearly 10,000 people, and joined up with the Japanese who had secretly gathered near the capital, and had the potential to sweep Gyeonggi.

Xia Lingxing explained to Jia Cong: "The one who commanded the ambush of the forbidden army in Qinghedian was Qiu Tong, who was familiar with the habits of the forbidden army, and of course it was also related to the arrogance of the people who were ordered to quell the rebellion."

"Qiu Tong is already the Wei Commander of the Third Rank of the National Dynasty, how could he get involved with the Holy Fire Light Sect?"

After reading the letter in his hand, Jia Cong's doubts in his heart were even worse.

Let's not say that the success rate of the rebellion is very small, let's just say that Qiu Tong, since he is very familiar with the situation in Beijing, how could he be so brainbroken that he rebelled under the noses of 200,000 troops?

What benefits can the White Lotus Sect give him after the rebellion? Do you want to marry him that holy woman?

Knock knock knock......

"Grandfather, General Eleven is here."

After Xia Junyan, who was guarding the door, pushed open the door, Jia Shiyi hurriedly walked in and said, "There is news from the capital that Nanping Hou Huo'an and his family are missing!"

Jia Cong looked dazed: "Gone?"

Boom!

Xia Lingxing slapped the table and shouted, "That's right! No wonder Qiu Tong knew that he was sending him to death and brought people to rebel, what White Lotus Sect was, it turned out to be a cover for the Huo family. is really a man who "will repay kindness", after so many years, he is still thinking about returning the favor to the Huo family for the funeral!"

"Old man, Qiu Tong has an old relationship with the Huo family?"

After hearing Jia Cong's inquiry, Xia Lingxing smiled: "What's more? Qiu Tong was originally the commander of Zuo Weiwei, but when Zhaowu put down the rebellion in Nanyue in the 32nd year, he was greedy for merit and rashly advanced, resulting in thousands of casualties in our dynasty. Later, it was Huo An's father who interceded for him, so he was spared the age of death and thrown to Yingzhou Zuotun to farm. Later, it was the Nan'an Palace, and the sage gave him the opportunity to atone for his sins. He made great contributions during the Fourth Northern Expedition, and only then did he have the current Commander Qiu."

Saying this, Xia Lingxing sneered and set his eyes on Jia Cong.

"Xiao Jia Qianhu, the old man has given you a task......

Jia Cong clenched his fists and replied, "Old Shangshu just orders!"

"Huo An must be fleeing to the South China Sea

Son, that's the Huo family's base camp."

Xia Lingxing pointed to the place marked on the map, and said categorically: "Since Qiu Tong did not attack Qinghedian first but risked attacking the camp of Zhengcunba, then Huo An must take the official road south of Zhengcunba. Tongzhou, Huo An must go to Tongzhou, Xiao Jia Qianhu, do you have the courage to go to Tongzhou and intercept Huo An!"

Jia Cong immediately held his head high, put his right hand on his chest, and said loudly, "Why don't you dare?"

Under the heavy snow, the road ahead is difficult.

Jia Cong had people make a simple horse-drawn sleigh and rushed to the east overnight.

Although the speed of rushing at night was much slower, he still arrived at the Shenwu Zhongwei camp in the south of Tongzhou at dawn.

Tongju is an important town in Gyeonggi, with 10,000 Shenwu Zhongwei troops stationed on the south side and 20,000 Dingbian guards stationed on the north side.

However, the Dingbian guard belongs to the local guard, and the founding of the country has long been abolished, and half of the 20,000 registered can actually be considered good.

On the contrary, the Shenwu Zhongwei is a forbidden army sequence, well-equipped and well-trained. After Jia Cong took out the royal gold order, he was welcomed into the Chinese army's tent.

"The last general, Shen Lang, the commander of the Shenwu Central Guard, respectfully asks for Saint An!"

"St. Bow!"

Jia Cong put away the golden order, helped up the veteran who knew the destiny of heaven, and said apologetically: "The matter is urgent, and the younger generation has to take advantage of the imperial order to come to see the old general, and ask the old general for forgiveness."

"You little doll, how dare you run around Beijing at this time?"

Shen Lang not only did not blame Jia Cong, but rubbed Jia Cong's brain seeds with his big hand, pulled it to the stove, and stuffed a bowl of steaming meat soup into his hand.

"The whole of Gyeonggi is in chaos, and your father dares to let you come out and mess around?"

Purr ......

Jia Cong was already cold and hungry, so he picked up the big bowl and snorted and shaved food into his mouth. After hearing Shen Lang's inquiry, he swallowed the meat soup in his mouth, wiped his mouth and replied: "When the chaos started, the juniors were not in the capital at all, and were isolated outside the city by the thieves......

After briefly describing the situation at that time, Jia Cong handed the letter written by Xia Lingshi to Shen Lang, and said with anticipation: "Xia Laoshangshu guesses that Huo An is going to go south in Tongzhou nine times out of ten, so that the younger generation will come to Tongzhou to block him! Old general, how about we him together?"

"Privately transferring troops and horses is a great sin to cut off the head!"

Shen Lang finished reading the letter, with a look of embarrassment and hesitation on his face. He is different from Ning Rong's Jia family, he was born in martial arts, and it took him more than 30 years to get to the position of a third-grade military general, and he really didn't have the courage to follow Jia Cong to take risks.

Jia Cong lined up the royal orders and Yanling knives hanging from his belt, and grinned, "How can it be a private transfer of soldiers and horses? The younger generation has a royal decree given by His Majesty, so we don't have to adjust it much, just three or five thousand!"

"Whoa!"

Shen Lang shuddered and accidentally knocked the teacup in his hand to the ground.

He looked at Jia Cong in disbelief with wide eyes, and exclaimed, "Not much? Not to mention three or five thousand, the five hundred privately transferred by the Jingying army is enough for me to go to the vegetable market!"

"The general will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, the old general, support the bold and starve to death, Huo An has defected, blocking him is a great achievement, even if he can't be knighted, the old general doesn't want to earn a shadow for the world brother?"

Jia Cong's words made Shen Lang's heart shake, his family is not as good as the founding martial arts, and the children in the family are not the material for studying, the two sons have only one of the highest exams to make up for the county orders in other places, and one is still white, if there is a shadow seal......

"And the old general doesn't have to worry about the palace being held accountable, when the time comes, there will be Lao Shangshu and the juniors in front of you, in case the blame comes down, you will say that the juniors used the imperial order to force you to send troops!"

Under Jia Cong's persuasion, Shen Lang finally suppressed the worry in his heart and put his thigh: "It's done! And he said, "What are we going to do?"

Jia Cong grinned and said, "The Dragon Guards have already gone to find out Huo An's whereabouts, and the old general first sent three thousand men and horses, and made it clear that the chariots and horses were going east to kill, so that Huo An and the others thought that we were going to Zhengcunba to quell the chaos. Then select 3,000 people, change into civilian clothes, and secretly sneak to Tongzhou Wharf, and wait for the rabbit!"
