Chapter 220 Jinling (Part 2)

A team of people gathered together into one. Looking from the fields, it was a red ocean, with infantry and cavalry holding each other, densely packed in the sun, and weapons emitted dazzling light from time to time.

The people in the fields in the distance fled one after another, and they boldly watched through the cracks in the door. They saw a red ocean on the horizon in the distance.

Twenty thousand people were neatly forward, with a rigorous military formation, and had a momentum of overwhelming suppression of all directions.

Looking at this battle formation, all viewers showed a look of awe in their eyes.

At this time, the entire Wu Yue, especially the vicinity of Jinling, was in chaos!

Jinling prefectures and counties fell into the hands of the Chu army one after another.

Several Chu troops traveled along at a rapid speed, and the counties they passed either surrendered or defended, but they could not stop them. They were captured by the Chu army. After the capture, the Chu army did not stop and went straight to Huanglong.

Anyone with discerning eyes suddenly knew that Wei Yue had exhausted his energy, and when he watched this mighty army, he felt even more moved.

At this time, in a square formation, Wang Hongyi's imperial carriage was in it, surrounded by three thousand cavalry. These three thousand were of top quality, both in equipment and horses, and were all strong.

There are seven or eight generals around. These people are of different power, but they are all full of energy.

With their support and protection, Wang Hongyi sat in the imperial carriage, walking slowly.

"Your Majesty, you can reach outside Jinling City in another half a day. I really didn't expect that the road was unobstructed. It seemed that the entire defense line of the Wu army had collapsed." Zhang Youzhi rode a horse and was not far away from Wang Hongyi, and suddenly said with emotion.

"I never thought that the Wu army would be so defeated." Thinking of the momentum of the Wu army when he fought against him in the decisive battle on the river, and looking at the current situation in Wu, it was really a disaster, which is a pity.

Wang Hongyi ordered: "Send the order and walk twenty miles before noon to rest!"

With the order, the army accelerated its march again.

In Jinling City, at this moment, the city is covered with martial law.

Since the Chu army besieged the city, loud noises kept ringing outside, and there were no more people on the streets. Teams of patrol soldiers patrolled the streets day and night, and found suspicious people and immediately arrested them.

When I arrived at the yamen, I was tortured and forced to confess to see if it was a detailed work sent by the Chu army.

So the people in the city were very panicked.

Although they are afraid of the disasters caused by war, the panic created by the Jinling defenders made the people even more scared.

For a time, every family closed their doors and did not dare to go out, for fear of causing trouble for themselves and their families.

At this time, the prosperous streets seemed particularly desolate.

At important street intersections, soldiers were standing, checking the occasional passerby.

The doors of every household are closed.

There were many fires outside the city, and the sky was reflected in purple, and the sound of muffled thunder came from afar from time to time.

The soldiers in the city patrol and were prohibited from passing through, but there were banquets in the aristocratic courtyard, and they were secretly communicating and exchanging opinions.

The situation in the city did not reach Wei Yue in the palace. Or maybe it wasn't that it did not reach it, but that he had no time to care about these things now.

The constant information made him angry.

This morning, Wei Yue was having a meal in Chengqian Palace. He didn't sleep well for several nights. Now he couldn't even eat. He was alone, with a gloomy face, and kept walking in the hall.

Although the hall was not as empty as before, a group of palace maids had been recruited, in the past few days, Wei Yue had a bad temper. Dozens of people had been dragged down one after another. It was lucky to be beaten to bed. There was also a weak girl who was beaten to death by sticks. It was just because the tea served made the angry Wei Yue feel unworthy and spread all his anger.

At this time, although human life was low, such a tyrannical monarch made them very scared.

When Wei Yue walked back and forth in the hall, they served carefully and carefully. When they looked carefully, they could see that their bodies were trembling.

At this moment, someone rushed in from outside, bowed to Wei Yue, and reported: "Your Majesty, you have just intercepted several suspicious people at the North Gate. After interrogation, they are all Lord Bo from the Ministry of Personnel. They want to take advantage of the chaos to leave the city, but now they have been detained in the Heavenly Prison, waiting for Your Majesty to ask."

Hearing this, a grim smile suddenly appeared on Wei Yue's face: "What else do you want to ask? Kill directly! Pull it out immediately, call all the officials of the Ministry of Personnel, and let them watch it with their own eyes!"

"No!" The general ordered him to continue.

After this incident, Wei Yue was extremely angry and calmed down.

No, he can't wait to die.

Thinking of this, his mood gradually calmed down. He walked to the door and said to the guards guarding the hall outside: "Send orders to order all civil and military officials to go to the hall to wait, and I have something to say to them."

"No." The guards got the order and summoned all the masters to the main hall.

"I don't believe that the 50,000 defenders in Jinling will not be able to defend a big city!" Although the people in the city are constantly rioting, in Wei Yue's view, the attack of the Chu army is much more threatening than the riots in the city.

If the restlessness of the people in the city is caused by the insecureness of some people, or the influence of rumors and the war is shaken, then as long as the Chu army is defeated, everything will return to normal!

At the same time, Wei Yue also believed that with several checkpoints outside Jinling City, it was not so easy for the Chu army to approach the city.

But even so, it is an indisputable fact that it has fallen into a disadvantage.

In this case, Wei Yue hoped that reinforcements could come to support him, and cooperate with the inside and outside to jointly defeat the Chu army.

It is even better to eliminate the main army of the Chu army in Wu.

Thinking of this, he said to the eunuch who was standing beside him: "Go and lay paper and grind ink for me."

"No." The eunuch quickly walked to the side of the desk, laid paper for Wei Yue, and began to grind ink again.

Wei Yue walked over, picked up his pen, and wrote a letter to Xu Wenhui using the ground ink.

The letter is very simple, which mentions the ambition of the King of Chu and the idea of ​​destroying Wu first and then Wei. Xu Wenhui asked to send troops to aid Wu in order to prevent the Chu army from continuing annexation.

He also wrote a letter to Guo Wentong, which made him threaten Shu and Chu to restrain his troops behind his back.

Three such letters were written in total.

After writing, he called three confidant secret guards and asked them to take the letter and set off separately and rush to various places.

Of course, even if the three of them saw the letter, they might not be willing to help him. But it is clear that after the Chu army destroyed Wu, they would attack Wei and Qin. Even if these two people did not want to help, they would definitely raise an army to restrain them.

In Wei Yue's opinion, although reinforcements would not come too quickly, it would not be a problem to defend the city of Jinling even if it lasted for half a year. The food and grass in the city were enough to last for a year. As long as you drag it like this, there would be a great opportunity to wait.

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Wei Yue's mouth...

Jinling City, in the imperial palace.

In the outer hall of the meeting hall, all the ministers under Wei Yue's tent had arrived here, and even Xungu, who had been ill for several days, was summoned to the palace.

I haven't been to the palace again for a long time. Xungu's expression seems calm, but in fact he feels a lot of emotion in his heart.

When he and his senior brother first arrived at the General's Mansion, although the mansion was still small at that time, it was far less magnificent than the palace in front of him. It was vast in area. It was really that the dragon's aura almost soared into the sky, and the entire general's mansion was surrounded by dragon's aura.

Although Wei Yue was only a powerful minister at that time, his aura was just a dragon about to emerge, but his luck was full of vitality.

It’s not like this? In the huge palace, the yin energy is extremely strong. With his Taoism, he naturally felt that there were many unjust souls in the palace, wandering around, and the atmosphere of Wei Yue ascending the throne as the emperor could not suppress this resentment at all!

With a faint sigh, Xungu stepped forward and walked into the hall.

After entering the hall, some officials who had a good relationship with him walked up to him and greeted him. Xun Gu Qiangyan responded one by one with a smile.

If you look closely at the faces of these people, they are all gray and black, and wealth brings danger. I am afraid that the outcome will not be too good.

Xungu didn't say much. When he said this to others, he would not only not make the other party grateful, but would only cause endless trouble.

He is now discouraged and hopes that after a result, he can escape alive. If he can leave alive, he will find a place to rest well and find a way out.

If there is any punishment from God, then die!

If he abandoned his son like him, he would return to the mountain gate, and he would be afraid that there would be no way out.

This understanding made Xungu very helpless, but also helpless.

Who told the mountain gate to make the wrong treasure at that time? It was already in decline.

Moreover, the tribes in the sect all had the intention of replacing them.

There is a struggle in the world, and after returning, I am afraid there will be no peace.

Just as I was thinking, there was a burst of music coming from outside, and then an eunuch shouted outside with a sharp voice: "Your Majesty is here--"

Everyone in the hall quickly stood on both sides, and Xungu also walked to his position and looked towards the door of the hall.

Surrounded by everyone, Wei Yue slowly walked into the hall in the emperor's robe, wearing a sanctuary and his face was as heavy as water.

Is it because he was born as a general, and he had half his life in his arms and walking, or walking in the dragon and tiger steps? But in Xungu's eyes, he could only turn into a sigh.

Wei Yue is finished!

Xungu sighed in his heart. Although Wei Yue looked majestic on the surface and was ashamed of the emperor, he looked even more majestic, but in the eyes of a practitioner like him, although Wei Yue was surrounded by dragon energy, he was already in a droughty appearance, and his foundation was even more unstable and could dissipate at any time.

Once it disperses, it will die and die.

Wei Yue slowly walked up the steps, turned around, sat on the dragon throne in the middle, and his eyes swept over the people in the hall.

When he swept over Xungu, Wei Yue's gaze paused a little, but Xungu seemed to be unaware of it, just standing there with his head down, looking extremely respectful and humble.

Wei Yue frowned, swept over the others, and then he slowly spoke: "Your family, although Jinling is temporarily at a disadvantage, this is just a temporary dilemma. Gu has sent someone to send a letter to the King of Wei and Qin. I believe they will send troops soon. As long as Jinling persists for a period of time, the Chu army will retreat... What are the plans for the Qing family to defend the city?"
