Chapter 257, forcing the literati to scold
The soldiers sent by Ji Xuan to observe the movements of the Huai'an army were killed by the Tianyi Sect who was ambushed there as soon as they arrived in Jingqian Town.
The current Jingqian Town has become a lair of the Tianyi Sect, Elder Mei led 20,000 sect members to change their identities in advance and ambushed here, and now Lu Guiyuan also rushed here with all the elders and all the people who belonged to the sect.
Jingqian Town is located on the main road into Beijing in the south, so King Cheng tried his best to let Tianyi Sect gradually take control, turning Jingqian Town into a fortress, into a military camp, and into a sharp weapon to attack the capital, and at the same time to intercept the reinforcements who went to rescue the capital from here.
When the Huai'an army arrived in Jingqian Town, there was no battle with the Tianyi Sect, because the main general of the Huai'an army was actually an elder of the Tianyi Sect named Han Tong. Of course, Cheng Wang didn't know about this situation.
Han Tong took 50,000 soldiers and horses to Jingqian Town to meet with the Tianyi Sect, and then took advantage of the night to send troops to the capital.
The soldiers sent by Ji Xuan were killed, and it is said that no one has sent back the news of the Huai'an army, but when the Huai'an army arrived at the south gate of the capital, preparations were already made there.
Before going to the East Palace, the commander of the South Gate ordered the deputy general to lead all the soldiers of the South Battalion into a state of combat readiness, so they did not rush to the battle like the soldiers of the North Battalion when the Huai'an Army arrived.
There is also the news that they got the news in advance and knew that the Huai'an army was coming to attack, and this news came from Zheng Tai.
Zheng Tai noticed the difference in Jingqian Town by tracking Mo San's whereabouts, although he didn't bother to go deep into Jingqian Town to check because he was busy with other things, but tonight he was ordered by Ji Xuan to go out of Beijing with a military talisman, and he first thought of coming to Jingqian Town to have a look.
Zheng Tai was taken aback by the scene in Jingqian Town, so he immediately rushed back to the south gate to tell the guard general about the situation, and asked the guard to inform Ji Xuan immediately.
Although they killed the soldiers sent by Ji Xuan, Lu Guiyuan and Han Tong did not naively think that such a big movement of them would not be discovered, so they still followed the original plan and only launched an attack on the South Gate Forbidden Army after the army arrived.
The battle at the South Gate was even more tragic than at the North Gate, and the casualties on both sides were very large, but such casualties Huai'an Army and Tianyi Sect could bear it, but the Nanying Forbidden Army could not bear it, if it went on like this, the Forbidden Army of Nanying would be exhausted in a few days.
Looking at such a tragic scene, Lu Guiyuan was not the slightest bit sad, and he even showed a slight smile on his face.
Things have been going so well lately!
Tianyun Courtyard dealt with the righteous path of the rivers and lakes, thinking that it would be a bloody battle, but he didn't expect that Ouyang Yi came up with a strategy to solve the most threatening people without blood, and the remaining people did not make him pay much price.
There was no loss, on the contrary, he also subdued many sects and strengthened his strength. Now the Tianyi Sect and the subdued sect disciples, plus the Huai'an army led by Han Tong, Lu Guiyuan has nearly 80,000 troops.
Originally, he wanted to wait for King Cheng and Ji Xuan to fight when they were both defeated, but then Han Tong said that it was better to take the initiative to cooperate with King Cheng and take the capital in one go.
After all, King Cheng is the prince, and he has been in power in the court for many years, and it is not easy to say who the ministers of the court and the various state capitals and guards support him, but if Tianyi Sect stands in front of people now to participate in the fight for the throne, it will not be supported, it is better to help King Cheng succeed now, and then take it from King Cheng.
Lu Guiyuan agreed with Han Tong's proposal, as if he had seen the moment when the king landed in the world.
......
Ji Xuan got the news from Zheng Tai on the north gate tower, and the worst thing happened, the two nearest guards in the capital were all involved in the rebellion, so the situation in the capital was very critical, if there were no reinforcements to rescue, the capital was in danger.
Fortunately, he made preparations in advance, Zheng Tai went out of Beijing ahead of schedule with the military talisman, and I believe that he will definitely come back with reinforcements.
The tragedy of the battle at the South Gate can be imagined from the scene at the North Gate in front of him, but Ji Xuan did not leave the North Gate, he just issued an order for the Lord of the South Gate to guard the South Gate no matter what.
After the herald left, Ji Xuan looked at the cabinet ministers beside him, and then asked Fan Changyun to inform the hundred officials that today's morning court was held at the north gate.
In fact, it is not only bad news but no good news, Qin Fan, who is guarding the palace, and Lin Yuan, who is in control of the city, have good news.
Commander Hu, who has not heard any news, doesn't know why he didn't lead people to attack the East Palace according to King Cheng's instructions, but instead appeared in the palace, he wanted to take over the defense of the palace city but was rejected by Qin Fan, the two sides fought, and finally Commander Hu was taken by Qin Fan.
The captured Hu commander angrily scolded Qin Fan for betraying King Cheng and would not die well, Qin Fan ignored him, but sent someone to escort him to Ji Xuan.
Lin Yuan transferred 4,000 people from the east and west battalions to strictly control the key areas of the capital as planned. After taking down these people, Lin Yuan dug out all the people behind them by the way.
The unstable factors in the capital were cleared, and Ji Xuan was a little relieved.
The civil and military officials were ordered to hurry to the north gate tower, and when they saw the wounded and dead soldiers under the city, they could not help but show horror and grief on their faces, and when they climbed the tower to see the tragic situation after the battle, those emotions were even worse.
There have been very few battles in the territory of the Great Wei since the Wancheng disaster, so apart from the generals who were guarding the border, almost no other officials could see such a tragic scene. Seeing such a miserable scene, some officials couldn't care about Ji Xuan being by his side, and couldn't help but scold King Cheng angrily.
Ji Xuan ignored these angry scoldings, because he also wanted to scold.
There is no one to report things in this special early morning of this day, because nothing can compare to what is in front of you.
Ji Xuan was silent, and everything was left to the cabinet for overall arrangements. At present, the most important thing is to defend the capital, and the cabinet has asked all the officials in the capital to take action and perform their own duties. Reinforcements don't know when they will arrive, so the forbidden army needs assistance and supplementation, and the government guards and young people in the city must actively assist in defending the city. At the same time, Jing Zhaoyin and the military department strengthened the security in the capital and eliminated all unstable factors in the capital. The Ordnance Supervisor was responsible for stepping up the production of the required weapons, and dispatched people to cooperate with the Elder Ma of the Peerless Sword Sect to rush the arrows that were extremely needed for the crossbow carts......
Ji Xuan listened to Fan Changyun's arrangement, and looked at Xiang Chengjun who was camping and resting in the distance with an expressionless face, his eyes were cold.
Bai Hao seemed to feel Ji Xuan's gaze, and slowly rode to the city accompanied by the deputy general to look at Ji Xuan.
Seeing that Bai Hao dared to ride a horse to the city, the hundred officials of the city tower couldn't help but point at him and scolded angrily. These officials still had something to take into account when they scolded Cheng Wang, but for Bai Hao, they used all the scolding words they could think of.
Because of his own selfishness, so many people suffered, no matter how Sven, no matter how well-educated people are, they will be angry and scold. Take a hundred times to read the latest chapter of "Tianwen Thirteen Sword Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
