"Da da da……"
Three thousand dragon cavalry galloped towards the Fudao, entered the forbidden gate, passed through the Ximing Gate, and gradually began to fight with the You Shenwu Army. Xu Zongwen repeatedly asked not to let anyone go, and to ensure the safety of the Jin Emperor.
Zhang Songzhi, holding a sword in his armor, took the lead and shouted: "Soldiers! Guard your majesty and kill the thieves!" Then he galloped on his horse and rushed into the right Shenwu army formation. He rushed left and right, killing blood wherever he went. Oars, dead and wounded everywhere!
"I didn't expect that General Zhang is also a tiger general!" Xu Zongwen methodically directed the left and right Yulin Guards who came to Ximingmen to slowly support the Imperial Army. He accidentally saw Zhang Songzhi in high spirits and killing enemies in full swing, and couldn't help but praise him. One sentence.
Pang Bai explained from the side: "The Zhang brothers are both civilized and martial. General Zhang has loved armed weapons since he was a child and is a good swordsman. If he didn't have real ability, the Taifu would not promote him repeatedly just for the sake of his brother... …“
Zhang Si was recovering from his injuries in the mansion, and Zhang San was ordered to rush to the East China Sea with the Huanfu tribe to rescue Huan Xianrong. At this time, only Pang Bai was left on Xu Zongwen's left and right.
Xu Zongwen nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time, he held the knife tightly and moved forward quickly with the ten wolf guards.
Zuo Yulin Wei Gong Cao Tanzhi and Zuo Shenwu Army deputy commander Zhao Lunzhi stepped forward quickly from behind Xu Zongwen. They bowed towards Xu Zongwen and said in unison: "I have seen the General Zhengbei!"
Xu Zongwen was also the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, so there was nothing wrong with the two calling themselves subordinates.
Xu Zongwen turned sideways, and the two began to introduce themselves.
"You two are here just in time. Let's immediately check the surroundings of Chongxun Palace to see if there are any secret passages to prevent Wang Chen from kidnapping His Majesty and escaping from the palace." Xu Zongwen stretched out his hand, indicating that they could go and investigate.
Zhao Lunzhi and Tan Zhuan accepted the promise and immediately led their men to inspect...
Soon, the Long Xiang Army and the Left and Right Yulin Guards surrounded the Right Shenwu Army. Gradually, because of their weakness, the Right Shenwu Army began to fall into passivity under the suppression of the Forbidden Army that was three times their size, and had already moved toward Chongxun. The inner palace shrank its troops, and the outside of the main hall was occupied by the Forbidden Army pressing forward step by step.
"General Zhang, don't hesitate, just go in. As long as you can't see His Majesty, no one involved in the conspiracy will be let go!" Zhang Song dismounted and led people to block the Chongxun palace gate. Xu Zongwen ordered loudly from behind.
Zhang Songzhi nodded solemnly, and immediately ordered Long Xiang's army to dismount and attack Chongxun Palace, hoping to use the numerical advantage to gradually eliminate the rebels who had lost more than half.
Xu Zongwen paid close attention to the developments ahead and was highly concentrated. At this time, there was a huge conspiracy hidden in his heart.
If Wang Chen could accidentally kill Jin Emperor Sima Changming... In fact, this is not difficult to do. As long as the Jin Emperor dies in the rebellion, the blame can be pushed to Wang Chen and the rebels.
When Emperor Jin dies, the only successor to the throne will be the three-year-old emperor's eldest son, Langya King Sima Dezong. At that time, he will be able to rely on his previous military exploits in the Northern Expedition and this time's contribution to suppressing the rebellion, and even seeking to seize the throne. Political qualifications are not impossible!
This bold idea made Xu Zongwen's heart beat violently, and even the blood flowing in his body began to ignite and boil instantly!
It turns out that power can really make people addicted!
If this is true, Xu Zongwen will definitely not miss this opportunity!
You know, in order to deal with Sima Daozi, the king of Kuaiji, the imperial court has not had time to quell the rebellion of Sun En Tianshi Dao in Wu County. The land of Sanwu is probably already in flames of war, and the people are in dire straits!
As soon as the Jin Emperor and King Sima Daozi of Kuaiji died, the turmoil would end earlier, and the Jin court would be free to deal with Sun En of Wu Commandery, and then rest and recuperate for a few years, and then take advantage of the Northern Expedition, when the barbarians attack each other and attack each other, and launch the Northern Expedition to regain the lost territory. Not just on paper!
Drive out the barbarians and restore China. Han and Hu are not in harmony, and the king's industry is not in harmony. The word "Northern Expedition" has almost become Xu Zongwen's obsession.
The millet is separated, the ears of the grain are separated. Walking forward with great strides, the center is like intoxication.
Since ancient times, the Chinese people have been very sentimental about the old capital, and they have a strong feeling for the unpredictable rise and fall of the ruins of the previous dynasties. Especially the Pian'an Dynasty has a different kind of emotion towards the old capital.
Therefore, since the Eastern Jin Dynasty settled in Jiangzuo, several Northern Expeditions have been launched.
In the third year of Emperor Longxing of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 320), General Fenwei and Yuzhou Governor Zu Ti launched the Northern Expedition.
In the fifth year of Xiankang's reign (339 AD), Emperor Cheng launched a Northern Expedition against General Xi and Yu Liang, governor of Jiang, Jing, and Henan prefectures.
In the first year of Emperor Cheng's founding (343), General Anxi and Governor of Jingzhou launched the Northern Expedition to Hebei Province.
In AD 349, the fifth year of Yonghe reign of Emperor Mu, he led the Northern Expedition against the great general and the great governor Chu Su.
In the ninth year of Yonghe (AD 353), the general and governor-general of the Chinese Army Yang Yu, Xu Yanqing, and the five states’ armies Yin Hao led the Northern Expedition.
In the 10th year of Yonghe (AD 354), Huan Wen, the general who conquered the West and the governor of the eight states, conducted the Northern Expedition.
In the twelfth year of Yonghe (AD 356), the Dadudu was conquered. Huan Wen, the Dudusi and the military officers of the two prefectures of Hebei, was responsible for another northern expedition.
In the fourth year of the deposed Emperor Taihe (AD 359), Yangzhou Mu and Lu Shangshu were responsible for Huan Wen's Northern Expedition.
From the end of the eighth year of Taiyuan to the ninth year of Taiyuan (383-384 AD), Emperor Sima Changming of Jin Dynasty, when Emperor Xiaowu of Jin Dynasty Sima Yao was on the throne, Xie An made a Northern Expedition.
So far, the Jin Dynasty has made a total of nine Northern Expeditions. However, the first eight expeditions were carried out by Zu Ti to recover parts of Yuzhou and Yanzhou. Huan Wen once attacked Western Shu and recovered Luoyang. The remaining Northern Expeditions were just a waste of food and wages and increased the burden on the people.
Only in the Taiyuan Northern Expedition, Xu Zongwen, Xie Xuan, and Huan Shiqian recovered the most cities and homelands in history. Among them, Xu Zongwen alone recovered most of Xuzhou, planned to seize Qingzhou, break Yanzhou, and go to Luoyang, forcing Murong Chui to secede. The eleven cities of Dunqiu and Jijun had the most abundant gains and the most extensive territory since the nine Northern Expeditions!
However, these are not enough!
What Xu Zongwen wants is unification in the true sense!
If you want to achieve unification, you need power. Staying in Jiankang is to seize power. With power, you can carry out the Northern Expedition without constraints and worries!
"General Zhang, we must ensure the safety of His Majesty! We must not let the traitors hurt His Majesty at all..." Xu Zongwen shouted at the top of his lungs, but Zhang Songzhi had already disappeared. He led the front army into Chongxun Palace. !
What you think is one thing, how you do it is another.
Xu Zongwen tried his best to hide himself, and some of what he said did not mean it, but he was forced by the current situation and had no choice but to do so.
In the Chongxun Palace, the Long Xiang army led by Zhang Songzhi was overwhelming and was killing all directions. For some reason, Wang Chen disappeared. The You Shenwu Army who lost their command began to surrender on their own initiative. After a while, hundreds of You Shenwu Army were seen to be gone. He laid down his arms and surrendered.
"That's weird. Where did Wang Chen, the traitor, go?"
Zhang Songzhi was puzzled and asked around. At this time, a sergeant rushed over and reported: "Back to the general, I found a secret room in the side hall..."
"Okay!" Zhang Songzhi was overjoyed and finally found Wang Chen's escape. Now let's see how Wang Chen runs away!
"Everyone who comes, please go to the side hall!" Zhang Songzhi waved his hand, and the nearby Long Xiang army responded and immediately followed Zhang Songzhi into the side hall. A group of people began to move the screen and crawl into the secret passage... …
