That’s great! Let me just say, you can live well in Beijing, so why do you want to go to Nanjing?”
"Master, let's buy a bed now. We will also keep cleaning your room and wait for you to come back and add furniture!"
The servants said hurriedly.
Lin Fan was speechless. How could he feel that none of his servants had any good brains?
Since the Lin Mansion could not accommodate anyone, Lin Fan took Zhang Liang back to the Baihu Si Yamen and had two black battle armors found, one for Zhang Liang and one for himself.
"Sir, you are really going to attack Xi'an tomorrow!"
one person asked.
"It's not tomorrow, but we will set off soon. Most of the officials in this city are dissatisfied with me. Now, they must have learned about my subjugation of a hundred thousand troops."
"Those officials know my methods and must be afraid. It is inevitable that someone will have an affair with Li Zicheng. In this case, I will lose the opportunity!"
"So, I will lead a raid tonight, and you will take the money in the treasury to the palace tomorrow to guard His Majesty's safety at all times!"
"If any official dares to force His Majesty, he will be killed directly!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
hiss!
The Jin Yiwei present all took a breath of air. They didn't expect that the situation in the court was so complicated. They couldn't see through it, but the commander could see it very clearly!
"Yes! Sir!"
All the Jin Yiwei said.
After that, Lin Fan and Zhang Liang put on their armor and headed to the palace. At this time, the officials in the court were having a secret gathering.
"This is bad news! Wu Sangui has been captured by Lin Fan!"
"What! Is this true?
Wu Sangui has an army of 100,000 in his hands. I heard that as soon as he entered the city, he took an army of 100,000 to Baihu Si Yamen to kill Lin Fan, but Lin Fan escaped!"
"Alas! That Lin Fan is very insidious. Somehow, he got an imperial edict from His Majesty. After Wu Sangui entered the palace, he actually killed the generals and subdued the 100,000-strong army!"
"Now, the 100,000 troops are in his hands, and Wu Sangui has his arms cut off and is imprisoned. Lin Fan will lead the army to Xi'an tomorrow!"
"Hiss! Lin Fan already regards us as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. When he was just the commander of the Jinyi Guards, he dared to kill Chen Yan and Wei Zude, who are the chief ministers of the cabinet!"
"Now that he has an additional 100,000 elite soldiers, doesn't he want to kill us even more?
No, we have to make plans in advance!"
"Then Li Zicheng has millions of troops in his hands, why don't we just go to Li Zicheng?
He has now established his capital in Xi'an, his country is called Dashun, and he has just formed a cabinet, which is when he needs talents!"
"That's right. With our talents, it is possible for us to serve as the chief minister of his cabinet!"
"Yes! Now we tell Li Zicheng the news that Lin Fan will lead troops to attack Xi'an and let him prepare early. This can be regarded as a great achievement!"
After discussion, the officials concluded that they were indeed having a secret affair with Li Zicheng as Lin Fan had guessed. However, they never expected that Lin Fan would attack all night long and not even give him a chance to inform Li Zicheng!
In the palace, the soldiers were well fed and drunk. After so many days of traveling and traveling, they had recovered 70% to 80%.
When Lin Fan arrived, the entire army stood up and shouted: "General!"
"My fellow soldiers, the war is urgent now. Over in Xi'an, a bandit has proclaimed himself emperor. Prince Zhu Cixiang is in Xi'an. We don't know how the war is going now!"
"We can't delay, we must rush out tonight, arrive in Xi'an tomorrow, and kill Li Zicheng by surprise!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
"Yes! General!"
"Kill the enemy!"
The soldiers all shouted.
Lin Fan mounted his horse, and the soldiers all mounted their war horses, and followed Lin Fan out of the palace in a mighty manner. Chongzhen was shocked when he learned that Lin Fan had led his troops out of the city overnight.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?
I just said I would go on an expedition tomorrow, and as a result, I went out with an army of 100,000 tonight!"
Wang Chengen said doubtfully.
Chongzhen said solemnly: "You are worthy of being my son. Such wisdom makes me ashamed!"
How could Chongzhen not see that what Lin Fan said during the day was meant for the officials in the city, making them think that he would not go on the expedition until the next day.
However, he had to attack all night, so that he could keep it secret to a great extent, so that Li Zicheng would not receive any news.
However, this also shows that although Lin Fan was angry at what Empress Zhou had done, he still thought of his brotherly love and went to rescue his younger brother Zhu Cihong.
"This... Your Majesty, why don't you understand this?"
Wang Chengen said doubtfully.
"Of course you don't understand. People's hearts are unpredictable. There may be spies among the officials in this court."
Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
this!
Wang Chengen also understood at this moment the reason why Lin Fan did this, which was to protect his eyes and ears from officials in the court.
"What! Lin Fan led his troops out of the city!"
"This... this person is really ruthless, he doesn't look like an eighteen-year-old child at all!"
"It's bad! If Lin Fan finds out about our affair with Li Zicheng, he will definitely kill us. Go and recover the people we sent out!"
"We must chase him back!"
When the officials heard the news, they were all frightened.
On the other side, Lin Fan led a hundred thousand tigers and leopards to attack all night. They could cover seventy or eighty miles in an hour. By the time it was dawn, they were almost reaching Xi'an.
At this time, outside Xi'an.
Prince Zhu Cixiang looked at the city of Xi'an and said coldly: "No wait! This Wu Sangui is just a despicable villain, how could he come to Xi'an!"
"We have 50,000 elite guards in uniforms. It's just early in the morning. The intruder must be unprepared. We rush into the city and kill Li Zicheng directly. The mob will naturally disperse!"
Luo Yangxing said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, it is too dangerous to do this. Let's wait until General Wu's people arrive to take action."
"Haha! Luo Yangxing, no wonder you can't even keep your position as the commander of the Jin Yiwei. It's just because you are a mediocre person and too cautious!"
"If we continue to wait at this time, if we are discovered by Li Zicheng's people, we will lose the opportunity!"
"Besides, if you calculate the time, Wu Sangui's people should be arriving soon. Let's rush into the city first, and they can follow up, so we can get twice the result with half the effort!"
Hearing what Zhu Cihong said, Luo Yangxing's face instantly turned gloomy. Comparing Zhu Cixiang and Lin Fan, there was really a difference of more than a little bit!
Lin Fan didn't dare to lead 50,000 people to attack Xi'an, but he did!
"Your Highness, you should think twice about this matter. Let's wait for another two days!"
