After dawn, the shouting and killing finally gradually subsided, and after a night of fighting, the four gates of Jinling City were under the control of Manichaeism, and the rest was to clean up the battlefield at the lowest cost.

The second thousand people rested for two hours, and then went out, Jiang Ning also took two green forests towards the Li family, compared with the north of the city and the south of the city, the situation is much better, at least there has not been a large-scale forced killing situation, but those Manichaeans broke in groups of three or five, grabbed some things, if they encountered disobedient, they were killed with a knife, but those big families could not enter, those big fish were left for the people above, and they could only pick up these small fish and shrimp, and when the Holy Father entered the city, I am afraid that these leaks are not easy to pick up.

And when Jiang Ning met these people, they all looked at each other, Jiang Ning didn't let these two people bring weapons, so it seemed that it was just an ordinary scholar with two subordinates, and there was such a strange look at each other, and after a short glance at each other, they went their separate ways.

In the Li Mansion, the old lady Li Zili sat on the hall, the Li Mansion had already begun to clean up and prepare for action, and sitting under the old lady Li was the great Confucian Zhang Xuecheng, the head of the Mo family Mo Liang, and two generals, one was wearing armor, covered with blood, and the scabbard was on his body, but the long sword was gone, but he was holding a ring knife in his hand, and the other was dressed in yellow, with a tiger thorn in his right hand, the five people were silent for a moment, and the sound of people moving things became more and more obvious, obviously after some arguments.

One of these two people is Lu Tong, a general of Wupin who did not follow General Ren to flee south, and the other is Li Yuanguang, the head of the Li family's guard. Lutong put out the fire at the north gate, a team of 1,500 people guarded the north gate, divided 500 people to fight the fire, and the other 1,000 people rotated, but they were attacked from the south side, opened the north gate, and they wanted to resist to the death, repelled three waves of attacks outside the city, but the scouts sent out brought the news that the south gate had been broken in the second half of the night, all four gates were attacked, the Manichaeans entered the city, and General Ren ordered the retreat.

The people of a city were affected, and he took the only 800 people left after three rounds of defense and fought and retreated, and met Li Yuanguang who went out to inquire about the news on the way, and the personnel also needed to rest, and the Li family provided food supplies, and after the supply, they came to the lobby.

And Li Yuanguang is also very skilled, there are two hundred guards under his command, and he went to invite Mo Liang, the head of the Mo family, to come to discuss countermeasures, and the Mo family guards are also close to two hundred, if they can be united with Lu Tongbing, it is a team of 1,200 people, and it is not difficult to break through, especially now that Manichaeism has just entered the city, although it controls the four gates, but it does not completely control Jinling City, there are still a lot of guerrillas in the city who will continue to resist, although it has little effect on the overall situation, But at least it can delay the time when Manichaeism completely controls Jinling City.

At first, the Mo family, like the Li family, thought that this was just a homeless rush to the city, but overnight, the hussar general who defended the city Ren Tie retreated south, and the Taishou and the general also left under the cover of the government soldiers.

And when I heard that the Nangong family was where the disaster began, I was even more determined in my heart to think of the fall of Jinling, and began to arrange to pack my luggage early in the morning, and at this moment the Mo family also got the news, and Mo Liang came in person to discuss countermeasures.

Mo Liang cleared his throat, slowly rubbed his hands on the crutches, and said to the Confucian Zhang Xuecheng: "Zhang Lao, you and I are all over fifty years old, and now the situation is critical, if you don't leave, I'm afraid you can't leave, I heard that this is Manichaeism, a few days ago there was a move in Jinling, and the Tiance army was stationed because of this, and here they came to commit a big attack, I heard that they believe in what heavenly father, women can also go to the court, can also be generals, and the identity of men is the same, if they are in Jinling, how can you and I have a foothold?" ”

Zhang Xuecheng is the most respected Confucian in Jinling City, many times his words are more effective than Taishou's words, and at this moment he is also frowning, staring at the blue bricks on the ground and saying: "Zhou Li, Jian'an Fenggu, and the spirit of the Tang Dynasty, when it came to my Great Xia Dynasty, it actually reached such a point, and someone dared to do such a thing that violated the Three Principles and Five Constants, and said such a rebellious remark, this is a rebellion......"

Zhang Xuecheng said, his face was already pale, and his hands couldn't stop shaking, obviously moving his liver.

Although Li Shu is a businessman, he has a close relationship with Zhang Lao, and he admires Confucianism, and he regards Zhang Lao's words as a guideline, and he can only sigh at this moment: "For today's plan, it is to go out of the city first, find the army of the military department, and then make plans, if we don't leave, they shout to kill the rich and help the poor, abolish Confucianism, we will be arrested by them sooner or later, it doesn't matter if my old bones are old, pity the child behind me......" said, looking at the grandchildren who were picked up outside the door and loaded towards the carriage, Infinite pity in my heart.

"General Lu, look at ......" Li Guangyuan hugged his fist towards Lu Tong.

He wanted to try his best to persuade Lu Tong to join his camp, as long as he changed his clothes, these soldiers were dressed as family members, and he could naturally reduce some pressure in attracting firepower, and the three families would definitely have a better chance of winning when they traveled, and their purpose was the same, they all wanted to find a bigger backer, that is, the army of the military department, and then go to other state capitals to make another plan, and now this first step is to get out of this Jinling City.

Lu Tong was hesitant, it was definitely unrealistic for them to break through by themselves, because the goal was too obvious, but it was too cumbersome to bring three families, but no one in Jinling City could provide the use of his eight hundred people, after breaking out, if they couldn't find the army, then the Manichaeans would not chase it, once they caught up, their material supplies would become a great burden, and now it was a dilemma.

Then he sighed and said: "Okay, out of the city, if you can find the army, the rest is up to the general, if you can't find it, then go to Suzhou together, the Suzhou garrison also has five thousand, this Manichaeism is fierce this time, but it is impossible to take two cities at a time, since the main force is in Jinling, then Suzhou will be fine, we go to Suzhou, first, you can breathe a sigh of relief, second, the Suzhou defenders are also the military garrisons, we can also return, even if the Manichaeism turned its head to fight Suzhou, At that time, the imperial court must have already sent troops, so what do you think? If I don't go to Suzhou, then I will break through with my 800 brothers and go to Suzhou. ”

When Li Shu heard this, he glanced at Mo Liang, nodded slightly, and then said, "Elder Zhang, is this possible?" As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, as long as the foundation is kept, when the time comes, the court will send troops, and these disobedient people will have to be cut down all over the house, and it will not be too late for us to come back. ”

Zhang Xuecheng shook his head and sighed, but said: "Right now, it's all about this......"

Li Shu immediately ordered someone to pick up Zhang Xuecheng's family, and this side was also in full swing, and when he was moving, he suddenly heard a commotion at the door, and then a subordinate ran in with a letter.

"Master, there is a person named Jiang Ning at the door who asks to see him, saying that he is your old friend, you have read this letter, and you will see him." The man held an envelope in both hands.

"But Jiangning Jiang Zichuan, who has a hundred poems a day?" Zhang Xuecheng walked over on crutches, frowned and asked, "If it's him, invite him in." ”

Zhang Xuecheng has long heard of this Jiang Ning, and the battle between him and Lu Yuntian some time ago also reached his ears, although it was a gambling fight between juniors, but that couplet and poem were indeed amazing, and he was also shocked, and he still had the heart to love talents.

Seeing this, Li Shu and Mo Liang nodded: "Ask clearly, if yes, then bring your strength." ”

Immediately opened the envelope, and after the three of them saw the content of the letter, they were shocked, and Li Shu ran forward: "I'll go to ...... in person."

Mo Liang, who was standing in the hall, said: "The letter of the right minister, this Jiang Ning, is really from the right minister's mansion......"

Zhang Lao also nodded slightly: "The right minister is good friends with me, and after ten years, I can still see his handwritten letters, hehe, this Jiangning Jiang Zichuan, it is not simple, I can let the right minister write a handwritten letter." ”
