In late spring, strong winds howled and the city was in chaos.
Sima Deke walked out of the room and got on his horse. Not long after walking on the street, he realized something... It turned out that there had been a strong wind from last night to now. Many military barracks outside the city and inside the city were damaged, but the damage was It was common for middle-level officers from all over the Forbidden Army to ask for supplies and pensions from Beishen Mansion (the command and management department of the Forbidden Army) on the south side of the city.
After knowing the news, he did not hesitate and immediately changed his plan. On the one hand, he went to notify Sima Jinda and on the other hand, he personally picked up the imperial doctor Zheng Zhang Kang. After a brief discussion, the two simply left the city and headed to Beishen Mansion in the south of the city. .
When they arrived at the place, Sima Jinda got the news and entered the Preparation Mansion first. The seventh eldest son of the Bada was originally the General Staff Officer of the Forbidden Army. He was working here seriously. He was also the most powerful person of Sima's generation. Behind him was The entire Sima family ranks extremely high in the entire Forbidden Army system, and is recognized as the face of Jiangdu.
Therefore, when he came here, he immediately overstepped his authority to receive supplies and pensions, but did not rush to solve specific problems. He just gathered hundreds of middle-level officers in the fenced compound in the Bishen Mansion that could almost be used as a school ground, and according to the After the order was arranged, I sat there, holding a charcoal pen against the strong wind, to record the losses.
As he was writing this, suddenly, Smadek seemed to have clairvoyant eyes and led Zhang Kang directly through the huge Bishen Mansion to this place.
Sima Deke is a serious General Huben, and here is the law of hierarchy in the military. Almost everyone immediately stood up to greet him.
Without waiting for a salute, Sima Deke took a few steps to Sima Jinda and waved to everyone: "Brothers, I went to the palace to do some work this morning, but I met the imperial doctor Zheng Zhang. He left the palace at dawn. He escaped back and told me something big..."
"What can't wait?" Just as the noise below began, Sima Jinda, who was sitting there, refuted it coldly, as if he was dissatisfied with the other party going beyond him to explain. "Sima Huben, we are talking about the warrior's clothing, transportation, housing and food here!"
"Return to clothing, transportation, shelter and food." The friction between the two Sima led to a quiet moment in the compound, but unexpectedly, Sima Deke's shell got stuck after a few words... It was not that he forgot the words, but He knew that there would be no turning back from these words... However, he finally gritted his teeth and said it. "According to Doctor Zhang, the Dongdu Forbidden Army may even lose their lives!"
There was a complete commotion below, but Sima Jinda stood up and slapped the pillar with his scabbard. This stopped the commotion, and all the officers in the yard sat back down.
"What's going on? Don't be alarmist." Sima Jinda continued to scold, but turned to Zhang Kang. "Doctor Zhang, please tell me."
"I also find it unbelievable, but...but it's true. Last night, I went to give the saint a massage, and he asked me if there was any poison that could kill tens of thousands of people?" Zhang Kang said hurriedly.
Tens of thousands of people were poisoned and the Dongdu Forbidden Army lost their lives. How could everyone not be shocked?
Therefore, just in the middle of speaking, chaos arose again, forcing Sima Jinda to use his true energy to shout orders, and also attracted his own soldiers from Bei Shen Mansion to restore order.
Finally, he calmed down. This time, I don't know if everyone had suspicions or because there were heavily armed soldiers surrounding him, but he continued to calm down and waited for the other party to finish.
"I didn't understand at that time. I just said that poison is naturally available, but how can it be easy to behead someone? The sage said, if you can behead someone, why use poison? You can only do it if there is no leakage." Zhang Kang hurriedly tried his best to speak again, and this At that time, the south wind was howling, and Smadek also used his true energy, but it was to isolate the imperial doctor from the chaotic wind blowing from the side. "I was already frightened at this time, so I quickly made up my mind, saying that if this was the case, I would have to prevent the smell of the poison from leaking out, and then it would be best to take it together... It would be best to cover it up with wine. The sage said..."
"Just say what?" Sima Jindafu urged again.
"He said that as long as he was poisoned and lost his strength, it would be fine. There are still Jiangdong soldiers and horses available. Then he asked me, could poison be used on practitioners?" Zhang Kang continued. "I said that general poisons are a little weak against the immortal energy, and the rest can be used. The saint said that it is feasible, and then urged me to prepare quickly. I will use it in the near future, so as to avoid chaos in the future... After I went back, I thought about it. I thought I couldn't do such a thing, so I escaped early in the morning, but met General Huben."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sima Deke raised his voice and made a conclusion: "Brothers, Your Majesty clearly wants to stay in Jiangning for a long time and will not return to Dongdu. He also sees that all the heroes in Dongdu are homesick and something will happen every now and then. This The second time, because General Tuwan wanted to leave, it was even more unbearable, so he decided to poison the Dongdu people as well so that he could go to Jiangning freely!"
At this moment, the situation that was originally under control was completely out of control.
There are those who are angry, those who are depressed, those who cry, those who curse.
Frankly speaking, this rumor is a bit low-end, but the level of officers who cannot stand it is that their cultural level is low, or even lower... Because the practice itself, especially the cultivation of the positive channels, is indeed hard work, and it takes a lot of physical exertion every day to cope with it. There are not many people who are upright and can insist on reading... Therefore, many people actually believed it for a while, and then the crowd became excited.
But even so, it is impossible for everyone to believe it. There must be sophisticated people and experienced people who are confused about this poisoning statement, because it is too outrageous from an operational point of view.
However, if you are a smart person, how could you not see that General Staff Sima Jinda and Huben General Sima Deke, two Sima from different clans, sang and sang in harmony? This matter is either true or a big shot has made a decision.
And more importantly, isn't it true that the saint wants to go to Jiangning? Isn’t it true that everyone is not allowed to go home?
Who doesn't want to go home?
Therefore, in the excitement of the crowd, not everyone stood up and said it was a rumor, but they were completely drowned out by the complaints.
After spreading the rumor, the two Sima looked at each other. Sima Deke actually took Zhang Kang away directly, while Sima Jinda looked at the chaos in the field with his hands behind his back, but then he let go of the soldiers who were maintaining order. These middle-level officers were allowed to disperse in the Prefecture.
In the chaos, rumors spread widely. Among them, not everyone returned to the military camp with other thoughts, or simply thought of entering the city.
However, those who returned to the military camp soon discovered that rumors seemed to be coming with the wind, and the entire military camp was wrapped in rumors... The grassroots soldiers were even less able to identify such rumors, and the higher-level officers did not understand, on the contrary. , this rumor did not have much credibility among senior officers, but in the face of the pressure from the entire army, the senior officers felt powerless and did not even dare to refute; as for those who tried to go to Jiangdu City, they quickly discovered a problem , various places in the city gates said that they had received military orders, some said that some people believed the rumors and became disloyal, and some said that some people were colluding with each other and spouting endless rumors. In short, they deliberately took advantage of the strong wind to enter the city and set fire to it, so all the city gates were sealed. , access is strictly prohibited.
This made most of the sergeants who wanted to express something even more angry, while the few who wanted to contact and inquire fell into panic and helplessness.
Yes, the first step of the rebel group is to spread rumors and spread rumors widely to stir up the atmosphere; the second step is to block the city gates from the outside to the inside, isolating news and controlling traffic.
Especially the second step, it reflects the fundamental confidence of this rebel group... The city defense of Jiangdu City is controlled by Ma Huada of Ruiguo Company, and naturally Sima Jinda can directly order it; while the city defense of Miyagi City is controlled by It is controlled by Sima Deke, who is in charge of Jinwu Guard.
It is completely logical for them to want to seal the city gate.
"General, do you want to close the palace gate now?" Sima Deke entered the palace city and watched the imperial doctor Zheng Zhang Kang go to the palace. Just as he was about to take matters into his own hands, Yuan Lizheng, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, came down from the gate tower. Asked in a low voice. "I heard from them that things went very well."
"No, closing the palace gate now will alert the enemy." Sima Deke reminded sternly. "Don't worry about anything else. Your mission remains unchanged. From now on, if there is a suspicious person who wants to enter the palace to report, you will stop him. Wait until night and make sure that the Xuanwu Black Gate in the north is unlocked... Ignore the rest for now."
Yuan Lizheng nodded immediately.
But Sima Deke suddenly left and turned to the side of the palace.
Let us say that Jiangdu City is one of the five capitals of the Wei Dynasty. There is a palace city in the city. The palace city faces south and west from the north. There are branch cities to the north on both sides. Among them, Cangcheng is in the northeast. That is when Zhang Xing and others discovered that they were short of food. The place on the left contains food, cloth, money, furniture, vehicles and other dead objects; while the northwest is the stables and arsenal.
Sima Deke's trip was to take the third step, which was to take away the royal horse and armor.
This is not only to further complete his own military equipment, but also to relieve the emperor's ability to resist and escape in large groups.
This step is very sensitive, because the emperor is in the palace, and so is Niu Du Gong. However, as Sima Deke is the Huben general in charge of the Jinwu Guard, there is no problem in theory as long as the emperor is not alerted.
Things went smoothly all morning, but an accident finally happened.
"How can the royal horse move? Where is it going to go?" Halfway through the horse's lead, suddenly a well-dressed chamberlain led a few people to the stable and asked hurriedly. "Sima Huben, why are you here in person?"
The sergeants were a little nervous. Of course, these Smadek's henchmen knew that they were going to rebel.
Sima Deke, on the other hand, seemed calm: "Deputy Superintendent Zhao, this has nothing to do with your Clothing and Hat Bureau. Didn't you talk about the rebellion earlier? The imperial court wants to send the imperial army to support the general manager. I asked for the order and just fought with Governor Niu. Hello, I want to transfer the royal horse to Bishengfu."
The man was immediately surprised: "I was appointed as the new Inspector of Horses yesterday, and I just came from Governor Niu, and I haven't..."
By the end of the conversation, the volume was so weak that it was lost in the wind, and the person's face turned pale.
"Kill them." Sima Deke waved his hand and gave the order with some helplessness.
The soldiers swarmed up and could only hurriedly kill several servants under the stables. Then according to the military order, they abandoned the bodies in the stables, leaving a group of sergeants to block and guard them, and then took away the war horses and swords.
Before noon, there was already blood.
To be fair, this made the originally calm rebel group a little nervous.
And next, is the fourth step.
After the royal horses and ordnance were brought out, Sima Deke immediately turned to the south of the city, but he did not enter Bishen Mansion directly, but came to the True Fire Temple further south of Bishen Mansion, which was already on the edge of the river. Chief Sima Jinda and Zhao Xingmi had also led many people to wait for him on the beach outside the river... Not only that, the number of military officers gathered in the south wind was still increasing.
That's right, the fourth step is to gather the troops and determine the final total military strength to be launched.
However……
"There are a lot of people here." Zhao Xingmi couldn't help but feel a little dazed as he explained in a low voice. "After the Bishen Mansion dispersed, I waited for an hour, and then I asked someone to tell me that I wanted to come to the True Fire Temple in the afternoon to do something big. As a result, I guess half of the military officials outside the city came with me."
Next to him, Sima Jinda's face was also a little flushed.
Smadek turned around to look and was speechless for a moment, but he still tried to cheer up and nodded: "This is a good thing."
Sima Jinda and Zhao Xingmi could only nod, and then gestured with their mouths together.
Seeing this shape, Smadek gritted his teeth and walked forward on his own. He jumped onto the temporary wooden platform, took off his helmet, released his true energy first, and then made preparations by taking advantage of the south wind blowing from the river. Final announcement:
"Everyone! I am Huben General Sima Deke. Let me ask you, do you want to go home?!"
There was no response as expected, but the previous noise continued in the wind. At this time, Zhao Xingmi joined the group of officers and soldiers below and quickly shouted to respond, but the surroundings were still noisy as before.
This scene not only made Sima Deke panic. Sima Jinda, who had not been on the stage originally, jumped on the stage without hesitation. Then he also exercised his energy and asked loudly: "General Huben asked you, do you want to go back?" Home?"
This time, there was silence below, but still no one answered.
Sima Deke was almost depressed, but he didn't know that based on what he had done today, if he could not mobilize these people, he would have only one way, and that would be to ride on his royal horse and escape alone.
While he was in a trance, Sima Jinda was beside him, almost gritting his teeth and asking again: "Do you want to go home?!"
After a moment of trance, suddenly, like a tsunami from the mountains below, hundreds of middle-level military officials shouted in response. The voices were noisy and chaotic, not even in order, but the sound and shape were consistent. It was just one word:
"Think! Think!! Think!!!"
Sima Deke on the stage and Zhao Xingmi below were almost paralyzed, but they realized again that it was just the fluctuation of people's hearts, coupled with the strong wind, everyone's reaction was only half a beat slower.
After finally waiting for everyone to calm down, Sima Jinda continued to speak from above: "I want to, too, but the saint doesn't allow us to go back! So we must do something big!"
This time there was no roar of mountains and tsunami, but panting, and the sound of everyone's breathing was so heavy that it was difficult to tell whether the noise at the scene was breathing or the howling south wind.
And Sima Deke finally regained his courage under the eyes of Sima Jinda and said the last and most critical words: "Everyone, I have discussed it with Duke Rui Guo. If you are willing to come after dark, Just lead the troops to the west of the city to meet me, and then I will take command, and we will launch at the third watch tonight. At that time, Duke Rui will go and admonish the saint, and finally we will escort His Majesty back to the Eastern Capital together, okay?!"
After hearing this, the people below could no longer suppress it, and the chaotic shouts converged again, and suddenly it was: "Okay! Okay!! Okay!!!"
The theoretically most difficult step in the plan turned out so smoothly that the three people present could hardly believe it.
However, after being stunned, there is excitement, and after excitement, there is confusion.
You know, they thought it would take a lot of time in the afternoon to gather people, debate, and eradicate the wavering elements before they could completely form the main body of the military rebellion. It was estimated that after all the work, it would be evening, everyone Go back directly and lead the troops to rendezvous and gather in the west of the city. It must have been the third watch.
However, who would have thought that tens of thousands of Dongdu Imperial Guards would surrender their lives in just three words...three sentences?
So what’s next?
Disband?
Wait until dark? !
Is it a bit rushed?
Doesn't this look like you are doing something big?
The three core members of the rebel group present were each a little confused.
"Can it be done?"
At this moment, amidst the roar of the wind and the excitement, Zhao Xingmi suddenly heard a very weak voice. It was obvious that no matter how angry the crowd was, there were still people who were instinctively afraid of this matter.
Upon hearing this voice, Zhao Xingmi suddenly realized what he should do. Without hesitation, he raised his voice and called to the two people above him: "Sima Huben! What is the good or bad of this matter? The True Fire Watcher is behind, do you want to sacrifice Chi?" Imperial Empress, may I ask about good or bad luck?"
The two people above were just nervous, not fools. They suddenly woke up and knew how to pass the time before the battle. Sima Deke immediately agreed with this suggestion. At the same time, Sima Jinda also quickly asked his confidants to come in in advance and greet the women. Observe "preparation".
And soon, a female spectator who had been frightened for a long time came out and told the ceremony strategy - very simple, extremely simple, take a pen and paper and write down the things you want to ask, sincerely offer incense, and then put the question paper into the spectators. In the big basin of Zhongzhen Fire, you can know the size and shape of the fire.
After a while, another confidant of Sima Jinda came out and reported carefully, saying that he had prepared sulfur and charcoal, and was waiting to throw the question paper into the brazier.
The two commanders on the stage were determined, so they pretended to write in front of everyone about good or bad luck. As expected, they attracted everyone's attention and gave everyone a place to spend their time.
I finally finished writing it and presented it in public. Finally, after half of the afternoon, I couldn't delay it any longer, so I ordered the door to be opened, and then selected General Zhao Xingmi, who was recognized as having both seniority and cultivation in the military. Led by a man of virtue, he led several representatives into the gate of the True Fire Temple to see with their own eyes what was true and what was false.
"Did I vote?" Sima Deke looked around and asked Sima Jinda.
The latter immediately nodded and let him do it with confidence.
General Huben also felt that the day was full of hardships in the wind... It was not that he was tired, he was really not tired, but his heart was tired. After all, it was a rebellion! Even if everything goes smoothly, my nerves are always tense!
Therefore, now he feels a little relieved, and just wants to get this done, and then go back to rest until the war starts at night.
When you start a war, you can follow the trend, and you will not be tired when you see the tricks.
While thinking about it, General Huben put the question paper clamped in the wooden clamp in his hand into the real brazier in front of him, which was half a foot in diameter but the real fire was only a small ball swaying in the wind. As soon as Wenshu entered the fire, the next moment, everyone in the audience and the military officers outside either exclaimed or were dumbfounded... No one else could see clearly inside and outside that the real fire started instantly, and it was actually direct. Soaring into the sky, there is faint Lihuo Zhenqi stirring in it like waves, as if it is not rising from the brazier, but falling from the sky.
In fact, not only around the True Fire Temple in the south of the city, but also in the city, as the fire started, three people were startled.
One of them was the Duke Niu, who had the highest cultivation level in the city. He was walking on the road in the palace city when he suddenly stopped and looked to the south of the city. After stopping for a moment, he continued to head toward Cangcheng in the northeast with his head lowered. ;
The other one was the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty, Cao Che, who was known as the supreme emperor on land. He was drinking in the palace, and he felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart. He seemed to have sensed something, and then he felt in chaos, and then a smell of alcohol surged up. Instead, She was so tired that she actually fell asleep in her seat, causing the queen to stop singing and dancing, and sent people to spread brocade quilts to avoid the wind.
The last one was the King of Wei Qi. This royal nobleman in his prime did not drink. Instead, he lay in the hall and watched the storm in the courtyard. However, his reaction was also the smallest, because since the forceful use of shockwaves that day, After the Dragon Sword awakened the real dragon, his cultivation slumped and he was only slightly touched psychologically.
However, it was King Qi who had the weakest feelings who had the only reaction.
"Li'er." After a moment of hesitation, King Qi softly called someone, it was his eldest son King Zhao Cao Li. "You go to the palace during dinner and meet your imperial grandfather."
Cao Li hurriedly ran out of the side room and just cupped his hands: "Father, please feel at ease."
Then he ran back again.
Without him, Cao Li had already adapted to this role... He went to greet his grandfather and at the same time check whether his grandfather had any arrangements to deal with his father... Starting a few years ago, there was suddenly no trace of family affection between the King of Qi and the Emperor. Instead, they were increasingly wary of each other. The reason is self-evident. King Qi was the only one who truly threatened the emperor's throne. However, in the past period of time, King Qi was the only adult prince of the Wei Dynasty. He was a profound and heroic man. In addition, Emperor Cao's uncle was by his side, making it impossible for the emperor to actually kill his own son.
This is even more clear from the strange fact that the eldest son of King Qi was immediately named a prince of the same level as his father as soon as he lost his childishness.
Cao Che is this kind of person. No matter whether you are suitable or not, as long as you threaten him, all ten thousand advantages will be disadvantages; but if you cannot threaten him, as long as you are a flattering flower, all ten thousand disadvantages will be advantages.
Turning back to the True Fire Temple in the south of the city, Sima Jinda and others were also feeling nervous, because they could see more clearly that this was definitely not something that could be caused by sulfur and charcoal. This was a real "person" who had made it clear.
And don’t look at how Sima Jinda preached last night that this was the guidance of the Red Emperor Empress... guidance is nothing!
He got that motivated last night, firstly because the wind had picked up, and the strong wind could obscure his movements; secondly, he saw the words of Yu Changji who had been bought for 400 gold...Yu Changji may have lamented that he himself was being forced in this position all day long, But what General Seven saw was a kind of impatience caused by continuous suffering. Yu Changji couldn't stand it, and he couldn't stand it either, so he just did it!
But now, as the flames soared into the sky, unknown to others, Sima Jinda and the others were completely speechless.
In the dull mood, Zhao Xingmi suddenly turned around, walked out first, and then loudly announced to the hundreds of shocked military officials outside:
"Everyone, on the tenth day of March, the world will be blessed! See you in the evening!"
After saying that, he took the lead to leave and went back to organize the army.
Just like that, in the evening, before it got dark, troops began to gather in the west of the city. After the officers returned, almost everyone brought their own troops. A few hundred military officials represented tens of thousands of troops... In fact, Indeed, tens of thousands of troops gathered throughout the evening.
It is conceivable that at least half of the Forbidden Army are determined to participate.
Sima Deke, who had been sitting in Zhenhuo Guanku for half an afternoon, had no more thoughts. Starting from the evening, he tried to organize his troops and prepare for work.
However, Sima Deke was so serious, but he did not realize that after dark, tens of thousands of troops gathered together, and soon the biggest flaw since the founding of the rebel group occurred!
On the other side, Cao Che woke up from his sleep and had already forgotten what happened in the afternoon. Because of the strong wind today, he could not prepare for the candlelight avenue, so he didn't care. He just changed his clothes, went out with a short coat and scarf and a stick, and just Under the guidance of the lantern, we went to find the residence of the concubine where we would stay tonight.
However, when he walked out of the palace, he immediately noticed something strange in the howling wind.
"What's going on in the west of the city?" After walking a few steps, Cao Che suddenly stopped, then pointed to the firelight reflected in the west of the city and asked. "Why is there fire and there seems to be some noise?"
How could Zhang Qianda, who had been waiting next to him all day, not know what was going on?
On his first day as Zhige, he was afraid that his secret would be revealed directly, but this time, perhaps because of his experience, Zhang Qianda was able to maintain his composure on the surface. When he heard the words, he immediately stepped forward and bowed his hands. : "Reporting to the saint, there is a fire in the forage yard in the west of the city. The wind is too strong. Everyone is putting out the fire, but they still can't stop it... We don't dare to disturb His Majesty's rest for such a thing."
Cao Che looked at the chaos around him, shook his head, and really left the matter alone, and continued to use his staff to see his concubine.
Zhang Qianda followed behind and watched him enter the concubine's residence today, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Almost at the same time, outside the palace gate, the young King Zhao Cao Li also noticed the fire and movement in the west of the city... He hesitated for a moment, and then Chao Yuanli handed over his hand: "If the emperor said that he did not want to disturb you today, Xiao Wang Just go back first.”
Yuan Li looked at the other party with squinted eyes, thought for a while, and nodded: "Your Highness, King Zhao, be careful on the road."
Cao Li nodded, got on his horse, turned around and left the palace.
But just after walking two streets and arriving at the crossroads, the young imperial grandson, who was obviously confused about the situation because the palace was far west, witnessed a scene that frightened him to the extreme - it was getting late, and in theory, all the cities The gate should have been closed, but today was completely the opposite. The gate that had been closed all day was opened instead, and countless soldiers poured in from the west gate.
This completely contrary to common sense situation made Cao Li panicked and completely stunned.
But it doesn't matter, you can set an example by setting an example... On the street, because it had just darkened, there happened to be a large group of Jinwu guards on night duty, so they went out to patrol the streets for unknown reasons... These were not included in the rebellion because of the city gate blockade and the date of duty. The soldiers of the group were instantly surrounded and easily disarmed under the command of the rebel branch commander Sima Jinda.
Immediately, the first batch of rebels entering the city began to control the streets along the way.
Thanks to the sacrifice of this large group of Jinwu Guards, Cao Li quickly regained consciousness. He knew that it was useless to run to his father at this time. The only critical point was his grandfather, so he desperately took advantage of the noise of people and horses on the street. He turned his horse back to the palace city.
Then he called Yuan Lizheng again.
Yuan Li was guarding the majestic and red gate in the south of the palace. When he saw the other party leaving and returning, he felt no burden in his heart, so he looked down and asked calmly: "Why did His Highness King Zhao turn back?"
"I was just riding my horse, and I was blown by the wind, and I actually had a stroke... I'm going to die at a young age!" Cao Li was also a little quick-witted, but instead of saying that he saw some rebels who were obviously going to rebel, he made up a make-up with a cry. reason. "Please, General Yuan, tell Grandfather Emperor and let me see him one last time!"
Yuan Li nodded and hurried down the city gate tower. Not far away, he saw Zhang Qianda coming towards him.
The two met and talked for a while, and Zhang Qianda came to the conclusion: "He must have been aware of the external attack, so he wanted to report... He cannot be allowed to see the emperor, nor can he go to alert others and capture him! "
The two had a clear plan and took action immediately.
Just when Yuan Li was pretending to open the door, Zhang Qianda led more than ten of his confidants to ambush around the corner.
Poor King Zhao, how did he know that the palace city was the first to be controlled by the rebels? He hurriedly entered, but as soon as he turned the corner, he bumped into Zhang Qianda... At this time, King Zhao still did not know the identity of the person in front of him, but instinctively He bowed his hands to greet the new noble in front of the imperial grandfather.
Unexpectedly, what he received in response was a hard slap with a deerskin glove.
With just one slap, King Zhao was slapped backwards, but he was directly hugged by Yuan Lizheng who was following him. The other soldiers swarmed up and tied up King Zhao, who was actually a master of Qijing. He choked his mouth.
"Put it in the stable and don't make any noise. I'm going to see Sima Huben now. By the third watch, everything will be fine." Zhang Qianda came immediately to say.
King Zhao knew the whole story at this time, but he only felt dizzy.
After Zhang Qianda left, Yuan Li was watching him leave the palace. When he looked back at the controlled King Zhao, he actually remained silent for a few breaths before waving his hand: "Put him in the stable."
King Zhao was dragged to the stables. He still had some thoughts on the way. He was still thinking about who the rebels were, and whether he might bump into some people and be rescued... But when he was really thrown into the empty stables, he saw the inside of the stables. Behind the corpses of the servants, smelling the cold and bloody smell in the stable, my mind could not help but go completely blank, and then I was so frightened that I burst into tears.
However, her mouth was constricted and she couldn't even let out a cry.
On the other side, Zhang Qianda hurriedly left the palace city and met Sima Jinda at the intersection who had just taken control of the core street.
When the two men handed over their horses, Sima Jinda urged: "Everything goes well. Sima Huben is ordering troops in the west of the city. Go and pick up an army quickly."
Zhang Qianda nodded and asked again: "Where are the Seventh General going? Are you coming when you are doing something big?"
"After the third watch, I will definitely pass through the Mighty Phoenix Gate from the front, but now, I am going to kill someone!" Sima Jinda told the other party clearly. "Yu Changji is the only father-in-law of Nanya, and he is from Jiangdong. He is also very intelligent. If he is not eliminated quickly, there will be future troubles!"
Zhang Qianda nodded randomly, his mind completely covered by "doing big things", and hurried towards the west of the city.
Sima Jinda left in a hurry and led more than a thousand elite troops straight to Yu Changji's residence.
This time, there was no need to report names, and Yu Changji's mansion, which could not be compared with the Eastern Capital, had no ability to resist. The rebels easily controlled the whole mansion and then kidnapped Yu Changji.
"Mr. Yu." Sima Jinda was sitting in the courtyard, with the torches around him fluttering in the wind, and his face reflected in the light was also gloomy. "It's hateful that the strong wind is empty. How about it blowing away the dawn and the late afternoon? Since you are suffering so much, I will give you peace today and no longer be forced by the strong wind... How about?"
"Very good." Yu Changji looked at the other party without any surprise or confusion, and just nodded. "Very good."
Sima Jinda waved his hand and gave the order.
At this time, the few family members in Yu Changji's house immediately burst into tears, and among the crowd, there was one person lying on the ground, kowtowing with his back tied behind his back, and called Sima Jinda in a tearful voice: "Seven General, although my brother is the husband-in-law, he is just a literary cultivator. Let him go back to his hometown in Qiantangjiang, and it will not prevent you from returning to Dongdu!"
Halfway through his words, he was dragged back to the queue by the soldiers, but he still kowtowed and cried.
Sima Jinda glanced at the man on the ground and answered calmly: "Doctor Yu... your brother is the Xianggong. What I killed was not Yu Changji, but Xianggong Yu!"
"If the seventh general feels that he must kill the prime minister to establish his authority, why not kill me instead of my brother?!" The man on the ground, Yu Changji's younger brother, admonished the doctor Yu Changnan. "We brothers look alike, so it's okay to kill me and pretend to be my brother! My brother is very intelligent and can be your Sima clan's think tank!"
Hearing this, Sima Jinda finally moved slightly, and Yu Changji, who had been expressionless and speechless, also turned to look at his younger brother.
After a while, Yu Changji spoke first: "General Sima, my brother is no less talented than me, and he has no foundation. Only this kind of person is suitable for you. And I have been in power for more than ten years, using people and power, greedy for money and enjoyment, not only my reputation It’s not good, and it has quite a bit of prestige. If you stay, you’ll not only offend the Imperial Army who hate me, but you’ll also have to prevent me from retaliating... On the other hand, if you kill me, you’ll be responsible for the death of the Yu family, and my family as well. It’s beneficial…my brother also knows this very well.”
Sima Jinda wanted to speak.
But Yu Changji continued to speak: "And there is the most important thing, the saint's life. You must think about it carefully... If there are many people who don't want to kill the emperor, and there are also many who want to kill the emperor, you will be caught in the middle. It is difficult to control the situation, and if you kill me, you can blame me for the imperial army's failure to return north, and then you will be able to deal with the emperor much more calmly... It can be regarded as my loyalty to the saint."
After hearing the first sentence, Yu Changnan was already sobbing. After hearing the last sentence, he knew that there was no way he could save his brother, but he simply started wailing and hissing. With the strange wind howling at night, it was almost not like a human voice.
With his intelligence, how could he not know that his elder brother has been taking more than his own share of credit and unscrupulously in the past ten years? One is to repay the saint, and the other is to protect himself?
if not? Er Yu went north with no roots and no foundation. If he really cherished his feathers like he did and didn't go to welcome the emperor, how could he stand on his own?
Seeing this, and with the experience of the relationship between his brothers and nephews, Sima Jinda actually understood each other, and finally became a little kinder: "In that case, please go alone, Mr. Yu, and I will take him to my brother's side. take shelter."
Yu Changji nodded repeatedly: "Let's do it here, don't waste time... As you said, the evil wind keeps coming, and I have endured enough."
Sima Jinda nodded and stood up in person, then took out a whale bone golden awl from his waist, walked up to the opponent, and pierced the opponent's temple with just one awl, and it was half a foot deep. He stirred it again and put it down. On the ground.
Immediately, without any delay, he took Yu Changnan, who was crying incomprehensibly, to see his brother.
On the other side, Zhang Qianda met Sima Deke and told him about the two accidents he encountered today. His original intention was to feel complacent and talk about how his family could easily resolve them... But when Sima Deke and Zhao Xingmi heard this, they were both awe-inspiring.
"We must take action in advance." Zhao Xingmi quickly gave his opinion. "It is good that the sound of the wind covers up the movement, but the fire is so obvious that it can be seen in the city and the palace. It is our mistake. Alerting a Zhao King will alert other people sooner or later, especially Niu Du Gong, there is still no way... Everything must be done in advance, take control of Da Nei now, and then persuade Duke Niu to surrender."
"That's what I mean." Sima Deke turned around and gave Zhang Qianda an order under the torch. "The army has not been prepared yet. I will give you two thousand men. You go back to the palace from the main entrance and replace all the guards in the palace who do not belong to us... Remember to go to Dr. Zhang and Yuan Lizheng and ask them to hurry up. Act quickly and coerce and induce Duke Niu according to the plan."
Zhang Qianda was stunned for a moment, then immediately took the order and left.
"General Zhao, I will give you the elite practitioners now, and you go to Xuanwu Black Gate immediately... If Niu Du Gong takes action, you will do it, and fight to the death; you have enough fighting power, if Niu Du Gong doesn't take action, wait until I get older When the troops arrive, block all doors and search the entire palace." Sima Deke continued to order.
Zhao Xingmi also quickly led the crowd away.
As soon as one person left, Sima Deke immediately accelerated the order of troops, but remained calm.
In fact, General Huben knew it well now. This was a typical feature of military operations. Every plan that came his way had to be rushed to the shelves, and since he had already rushed it, there was nothing to worry about.
After half an hour, he finally led his troops into the palace to finish the work and deal with the situation on the spot.
Sima Deke was in a hurry to order troops. Zhao Xingmi entered in advance and went straight to the palace to ambush outside the Xuanwu Black Gate. Zhang Qianda was forced to temporarily replace the palace guards. The overall situation was forced to speed up... For a moment, he actually forgot to notify him to control the city. Sima Jinda, who was outside the palace, didn't know if he was careless or not.
"Old Qi, you are too bold. This is a fatal thing." After sending Yu Changnan out for resettlement, Sima Huada, who was full of alcohol, held his forehead, obviously anxious.
"Brother, it's a done deal, Yu Changji has been killed!" There were only two people in the room, so Sima Jinda naturally tried his best to persuade them. "The sergeants are all thinking about returning to Dongdu. It is much easier than I thought. We must take action immediately, otherwise Smadek will control the situation!"
"You want to kill me..." Sima Huada put down his hand, looking anxious. "Let me ask you, Mr. Niu, have you made arrangements?"
"arranged."
"What about His Majesty himself?"
"Nature's top priority..."
"What if he relies on his cultivation to run away?"
"He... shouldn't be afraid. After all, he can deal with Niu Du Gong's array of masters, and he should also be able to suppress the saint... Brother, everyone wants to go back. Among the people who rebelled this time, there are seven in Chengdan alone. It's still not afraid of Zhan'er! "
"Did King Qi kill?" Sima Hua Dading continued to ask.
Sima Jinda stunned slightly.
"Did King Qi kill?" Sima Hua squinted his eyes, blowing his alcohol, and urged him. "He is not dead, can you be at ease? Write a document on Yu Changji Mansion, find a man who preach the imperial decree.
Sima Cai still froze, but after this, he suddenly realized and left his legs.
After the Lao Qi left, Sima Hua helped the forehead after several cases. On the candlesticks next to the candlesticks, the candlelight was swaying, and the wind outside the door was almost the same as last night ... Sima Hua listened to the sound of the wind. Looking at the candle shadow, panting alcohol, and his breathing gradually became heavy.
