Chapter 364 The eve of the city breaking! 【2 more】
Liu Yangzheng was stroking his beard and looking at the furious Prince Ning and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. Even if he, Xu Ren, is extremely capable, can he still capture all the people in the city who are interested in His Majesty?"
When they first learned that Xu Er had arrested all the officials whom King Ning had won over, many people felt a little disappointed.
When Liu Yangzheng said this, everyone couldn't help but their eyes lit up.
Yes, there are so many officials, dignitaries, and gentry in Nanjing. Xu Yan was able to find some of them, which was the greatest extent that Wei Guogong's power and the power of the court could do.
But no matter how powerful the Jinyi Guards are, they can't monitor people's hearts, right? No matter how hard they try, they can't find everyone.
Prince Ning nodded slightly and said: "What Mr. Liu said is true. I am just a little heartbroken. Lord Du Ze and others were sent to prison by Xu Chu because of me. When I conquered Nanjing City,
, we must let Xu Er and others know how powerful I am."
While speaking, King Ning glanced at Li Shishi, and Liu Yangzheng and others said: "Be careful with me, be careful, and don't let the secret agents in the city be exposed again. Otherwise, how can I break the city?"
Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng looked at each other and both said to Prince Ning: "Don't worry, Your Highness, we will be more careful this time. No one else will know the identity of the spy in the city except us!"
King Ning's eyes narrowed and he looked at the crowd and said: "Everyone, I have decided that tomorrow evening, all the soldiers will have a good meal and follow me into Nanjing City."
"Enter Nanjing City!"
"Enter Nanjing City!"
In the city of Nanjing, teams of soldiers and horses were stationed at several city gates. Even under Xu Chu's order, no one within a few hundred meters of the city gate as the center was allowed to approach, except for the guards.
In addition to the soldiers in the city, all those who came near were killed.
Therefore, some common people's homes at the city gate have also been moved out, leaving only empty homes.
Anyway, in order to prevent accidents, Xu Ru was as careful as possible.
After all, Xu Yan himself knew very well that he had previously captured Du Ze and other officials who were colluding with Prince Ning, but he dared to say that these officials who were discovered were actually just some of the people who were colluding with Prince Ning.
In addition to these, there are definitely other officials who have not been discovered.
If when the time comes to attack the city, if these people who colluded with King Ning suddenly cooperate with each other from inside to outside, Nanjing City will definitely be attacked by then.
Nanjing City, in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army.
Xu Yan looked at the generals, big and small, who had taken the order and left. His originally upright figure slumped slightly, and his face showed a look of fatigue.
Xu Pengju, who was standing next to Xu Er, saw this and slapped Xu Er on the shoulder and said: "Grandpa, don't you like some of Chu Yi's actions very much? Why are you doing your best to defend Nanjing this time?"
He glanced at Xu Pengju lightly and said: "Pengju, why can our Xu family be permanently stationed in Nanjing City and take charge of the military power of Nanjing City?"
Xu Pengju said almost instinctively: "That's because the emperor needs our Xu family to take charge of Nanjing City!"
Stroking his beard, Xu Yan nodded slightly and said: "Yes, the reason why our Xu family can live with the country and prosper to this day is precisely because the Xu family has always been loyal to the royal family and useful to the emperor. If Nanjing City has lost something this time,
, then our Xu family will lose the foundation of our foothold, and I am afraid that there will no longer be our Wei Guogong Xu family in the future."
Xu Pengju said with some confusion: "But if our Xu family takes refuge in Prince Ning, I think Prince Ning will not treat our Xu family poorly!"
When Xu Ren heard this, he sneered and said, "You really don't have any foresight. You don't even think about it. If our Xu family really offers Nanjing City, then how can Prince Ning be assured that our Xu family will still stay in Nanjing City."
Xu Pengju's expression changed, and he heard Xu Yan continue: "With our Xu family's huge network of relationships in Nanjing City, if Prince Ning wants to feel at ease, he will either move our Xu family out of Nanjing City, or
If our Xu family is wiped out, how can he live peacefully in Nanjing City?"
Xu Pengju couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Compared with Xu's scheming and long-term perspective, Xu Pengju had never experienced any storms, so his knowledge was naturally shallow.
With a bit of surprise on his face, Xu Pengju nodded towards Xu Er and said, "Thank you, grandson, for your teaching!"
Patting Xu Pengju's hand, Xu Chu said: "So everyone in this city, including Fan Heng, can take refuge in King Ning, but my Xu family cannot take refuge in King Ning, otherwise, from now on, there will be no Wei Guogong lineage in the world!
"
Xu Pengju nodded and said: "Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson will definitely urge all the generals to defend Nanjing!"
Xu Yan waved his hand and said: "Go!"
The Dong Family in Nanjing City.
The Dong family is not well-known in Nanjing city, but the strength of the Dong family is not bad at all. The Dong family started by selling private salt. Over the years, they have accumulated a large family business by selling private salt.
But the Dong family is indeed very low-key in their behavior. Even the house they live in is just an inconspicuous mansion.
However, at this moment, in the quiet room of the Dong family, several figures had their faces covered, and their bodies were wrapped in black cloaks.
As a result, almost only the eyes were left outside. Everyone sat there in silence, and no one spoke first.
Looking at the incense stick on the table that had burned out, the head of the Dong family sitting there, Dong Changming coughed lightly, glanced at the people present and said slowly: "You must have received the secret message from His Highness.
Dong doesn’t know how many people His Highness has summoned, but those who are present here must be determined to help His Highness Prince Ning, so Dong is here to thank you all on behalf of His Highness.”
I saw a stooped figure wrapped in a cloak. His voice was hoarse and he said, "The Master of the Dong family is too polite. The reason why we chose to help Prince Ning is because we believe in Prince Ning."
We will definitely be able to overthrow the rule of the foolish king, kill the traitor Chu Yi, and restore peace to the south of the Yangtze River."
Dong Changming smiled and nodded and said: "What this brother said is true. In this case, Dong will not be polite to everyone. I think the purpose of everyone gathering here today is to discuss a way to cooperate with His Highness internally and externally."
, then we will successfully welcome His Highness into the city!"
The man was tall and tall, with a vaguely sword-shaped eyebrow, and said with a sparkle in his eyes: "In my opinion, Xu Ru's layout in the city is impeccable. There are soldiers patrolling both at the city gate and on the long street. Each of us has
Homes are scattered throughout the city, and it is difficult to gather together without alerting the patrols."
Dong Changming thought deeply and said: "Yes, Xu Yan did have some tricks. Not only did he clear out the people at the city gate, he also sent soldiers to patrol the city, and even ordered that anyone who gathered more than ten people would be labeled as traitors.
We should deal with it internally and kill him!"
Xu Yan's methods really played a big role. At least Dong Changming and others didn't have any better way to deal with it for a while.
As Dong Changming said, everyone present was too scattered. The city of Nanjing was so big that it was impossible for everyone to live together. If there were no soldiers to patrol, they could find a way to gather the strength of each family together.
The key point is that Xu Ru gave an order that if the young and strong nursing servants raised in their mansion dare to gather together and appear on the street, the patrolling soldiers will regard them as rebels and kill them on the spot.
There was a terrifying silence in the quiet room for a moment, and suddenly someone said: "He Xu Chu has a good plan, and we also have a wall ladder. We can break it into pieces and quietly approach one of the city gates in twos and threes."
yes."
Dong Changming stroked his beard and sighed slightly, then slowly shook his head and said: "That's what you say, but if we add up our families, we can at least make up one or two thousand people. At this juncture, one or two thousand people can be considered as a whole.
It is zero, but if it appears near the city gate, it is very conspicuous and will be exposed!"
The man's eyes flashed and said: "Exposed will be exposed, the worst is to kill directly. Besides, the time agreed by the prince is in the evening. We can take advantage of the night at that time. At most, we may be attacked when we are close to the city gate.
Discover."
Hearing this, a bright light flashed in the eyes of many people.
Yes, they ignored the issue of time. King Ning chose to attack the city in the evening, but it helped them solve a big problem.
At that time, under the cover of night, we can really get close to the city gate. Even if we are discovered by then, it will not affect the overall situation.
Dong Changming clapped his hands and praised: "That's very good. Let's agree on a time. After everyone returns, we will mobilize our servants to guard the courtyard, break it up into pieces, and welcome the prince into the city."
In the city, Xu Pengju personally led a group of soldiers to patrol the long street. The people in the city already knew that Nanjing was surrounded by Prince Ning's rebels. A strong sense of depression filled the sky over Nanjing. Everyone knew that,
King Ning was afraid that he was going to attack the city.
This is the first time that Nanjing City, which has been at peace for hundreds of years, has encountered such a thing. Even when Chu Yi went on a killing spree in Nanjing City, no one felt this depressed.
Except for a few figures, no more figures can be seen on the long street. Even so, those who appear on the long street will be subject to interrogation.
Although it is impossible to check everyone clearly, if the patrol soldiers see anyone suspicious on the long street, they will come forward to ask.
Xu Pengju looked at the sky. It had darkened now. Xu Pengju, who had been patrolling for almost a day, was really exhausted. He thought that when he went back, he would take a good bath in hot water, and then
Have a good night's rest.
