No matter who sent the three assassins, it means that the dispute over the throne in the capital is about to be decided, so some people feel that there is no need to let Jue Hou continue to live.

Han Ruzi decided to return to Beijing immediately, and he had no time to wait for the arrival of the main force of the Northern Army, nor did he have no time to stabilize his position in the Southern Army.

At dawn, Han Ruzi set up three thousand soldiers from Yingfeng Village and set off immediately.

In order to ensure the speed of the march, Han Ruzi could only take these people. If the number was larger, he could only wait until the afternoon to set off. As for the Southern Army at the foot of the mountain, after yesterday's urgent marches, it had not been restored. It was short of tents and food. Many people were not even equipped with weapons and armor and could not go on the road again. They could only return to the base camp one after another and set off after rectification.

In Baiqiao Town, Han Ruzi stopped for a while and ordered Cai Xinghai to prepare. After an hour, he led the soldiers of the southern and northern troops in the town to the capital.

In fact, Han Ruzi issued similar orders to all battalions of the Southern Army, but the departure time was different. If they could strictly abide by it, he would welcome an army every other hour in the capital.

Cui Teng was always curious about what Juanhou wanted to do. After leaving Baiqiao Town, Han Ruzi revealed his plan: "I am not a general of the Southern Army, nor am I going to fight with your father, so this army is under your command. You have to bring these 3,000 people into the Southern Army camp. Of course, I will follow it in."

"Haha, this is called uninvited. Brother-in-law, don't say I didn't remind you, my father will definitely be very angry when he sees you. I even suspect that the three assassins were sent by him."

"Don't ask about the assassin. If you want to help me, just openly announce my arrival after entering the Southern Army camp. The more people you know, the better."

"You want to enter the camp quietly, but after you go in, you have to make a big splash. Why don't I understand this?"

"Silently entering the camp is to make the Southern Army unprepared, so that they don't think I'm here to fight. After entering the camp, they make a big spoiler to make your father have to protect me."

In any case, the people who hated Jue the most in the court could only send assassins to assassinate and did not dare to do it directly, so Han Ruzi had to enter the camp quietly and publicize it.

Cui Teng still didn't understand it very well, but he had one advantage. If he didn't understand it, he would put it behind his mind and would not bother to guess.

Meng E hid in the dark last night to protect Juehou, and then appeared next to him again, paying attention to listening to every word he said.

Baiqiao Town is not very far from the capital. After Han Ruzi and Sanqian Southern Army entered the night, they saw the lights of the Southern Army camp. They were already exhausted and wanted to enter the camp to rest quickly. Cui Teng took the lead, "I will take you into the camp! It's very smooth, and no one will stop him along the way."

Han Ruzi felt that this was a big problem. The Southern Army has always been known for its strict military discipline. Sixty thousand Southern Army was stationed here, but it did not send troops to set up checkpoints on the road, or even scouts and sentries. It was really a strange thing. Especially since Baiqiao Town was lost, Taifu Cui should have strengthened the defense in the rear.

As he got closer and closer to the camp, even Cui Teng felt strange, "Why didn't anyone come out to welcome me?"

Finally, the Southern Army camp was presented to everyone. It turned out that what they saw before was not the lights, but the burning flames everywhere, and the camp was in chaos and there was no living person.

Cui Teng's face was bloodless, and the Nanjun who arrived one after another were also stunned.

"Brother-in-law, what's going on?"

Han Ruzi turned his horse's head, looked at the three thousand soldiers, raised his voice and said, "We are one step late. The war in the capital has obviously started. I don't know who wins and who will lose. We come from afar and must adapt to the situation." He paused for a moment, "There are countless traps ahead. I need you to execute my orders in a slight way, which may be avoided from the disaster. If someone is unwilling, please leave the team, and I will not force me."

All three thousand southern troops came from Yingfeng Village, and were respectful and afraid of Juehou. Seeing that the Southern Army camp was destroyed by a fire, the situation in the capital was unpredictable, and it was all a huge problem that they could not solve. Just as the lost people urgently needed a guide, they also rely on Juehou the most at the moment.

"Listen to the command of Juehou! Just listen to Juehou..." The soldiers replied in a lingering manner.

Han Ruzi's first order was to make everyone line up in an offensive formation and send multiple scouts to investigate in different directions, especially the situation in the capital.

Cui Teng volunteered and rushed to the capital with a dozen soldiers. Han Ruzi led the remaining people to marches slowly. From then on, the team could no longer be in chaos.

Han Ruzi looked to both sides and the South Military Camp that stretched for dozens of miles seemed to have been burned, but there was no corpse within the range of the fire.

The scouts who went to the flank returned soon and brought news that the Southern Army camps had indeed been burned. Strangely, except for the central army's location, there were no traces of fighting in other camps. The tents seemed to have been set by the Southern Army soldiers themselves.

Han Ruzi looked at the capital, and could not see anything in the night. He could not hear the sound for more than twenty miles apart. He felt more and more shocked and suspicious. If the Southern Army set fire to the camp itself, then Taifu Cui would have fought to the death. The Southern Army's military discipline was indeed very strict. If such a big thing happened, no one left the team.

If Grand Tutor Cui seized the capital, Han Ruzi's departure would be like falling into a trap. The other party would no longer need to send assassins, and he could be imprisoned or killed in the name of the court.

Another group of scouts returned, and there were some houses in front of them, which were obviously destroyed by the Southern Army. When they saw the soldiers of the Southern Army, all the residents fled in scattered and cursed from afar.

The Southern Army was the guards of the capital, but was regarded as an enemy by the people outside the city. Everyone became even more frightened and relied on the lord.

Han Ruzi quickly accelerated and soon saw the house burned by fire. The residents had put out most of the open flames. The smell of smoke had not yet dissipated and it was rolling in, suffocating.

No matter how angry the people were, they did not dare to approach the marching cavalry, or curse, or they were drowned in the sound of horse hooves. Only some sharp crying sounds could still penetrate into their ears, making them look weird in the darkness.

Nearly midnight, Han Ruzi and others were able to see the fire in the capital.

It happened to be a wasteland. Han Ruzi ordered the entire army to stop and wait for news from the scouts ahead.

Not long after, the scout at the front came back, but Cui Teng disappeared.

"The Southern Army and the Suwei Army are fighting. It is said that the Southern Army has attacked the capital from the Ximen. The second young master asked us to come back and report. He went to the Ximen to find the Grand Sima." said a scout.

Han Ruzi had already guessed this result, but after hearing this, he was still shocked. The Empress Dowager and Grand Tutor Cui were both endurances and used conspiracies to fight for the army. They were also used to build momentum. Taking advantage of the situation, they never showed the decisive battle immediately. Some accident must have caused both sides to take a gamble.

It was also an unexpected and strange thing that the Southern Army had just one day to break through the west gate of the capital.

The news that the main force of the Southern Army was fighting the decisive battle with the Suwei Army in the city soon spread. All the three thousand people brought by Han Ruzi were excited and wanted to support the Southern Army.

Han Ruzi often took risks, but at this time he understood that caution was the most important. His previous adventures were mostly sneak attacks while others were unprepared. Now there were two tigers fighting in the city, and each side was in a state of twitching. If he ran into it rashly, there would be no good results.

"Camp here tonight." Han Ruzi ordered and sent more scouts, but they were not allowed to enter the city.

It was said that it was camping, but the team did not carry any necessary items such as tents. They just dismounted, relaxed the horse's bellyband, fed some beans, and ate some dry food by themselves.

Han Ruzi took off the saddle and placed it on the side of the road. After sitting down, he closed his eyes and rested.

In fact, he could not control these three thousand soldiers of the Southern Army and could only let it go.

Not long after, three southern army generals came and stood in front of Juehou.

Han Ruzi opened her eyes and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

The three nodded, and one of them said, "Junhou once said that we were coming to rescue Sima Cui, so we were willing to follow you, but... the Southern Army is fighting the Suwei Army, why did Juunhou stop moving?"

"How many troops are there in Taifu Cui?"

"It's about 60,000 people." The general replied.

"How many guards are there?"

The general shook his head, indicating that he didn't know much.

"More than 30,000, at most, only 50,000, and more than half of them are newcomers. They have less than half a year of training." Han Ruzi stood up, "But the Suwei Army has its own advantages. They have been stationed in the city, occupying key points, familiar with the streets, and have geographical advantages. There are still 20,000 to 30,000 scattered troops in the nearby counties, and they are likely to be rushing to the capital. Cui Taifu's entire army entered the city, hoping to fight quickly, but what if the battle cannot be over tonight? It is useless to throw in our 3,000 people, but they may become a surprise soldier. Even if Cui Taifu is here, he will make the same choice as me."

The three generals were speechless and apologized and then persuaded other soldiers.

Han Ruzi sat down and continued to close her eyes and rest.

The scout came back and confirmed that the Tutor Cui had indeed led his army into the city from the west gate. The battle was in progress. The city wall blocked the screams, and the north could not hear them.

They also brought back a wounded Southern Army soldier who knew more.

First, the generals of the central army made a rebellion and intended to murder Cui Taifu, but they killed Cui Sheng, the eldest son of the Cui family. The grand tutor was furious and led the Right Army to quell the rebellion, killed many soldiers, and then burned the camp and mobilized the entire army to carry the body to question the crime. At that time, he had not said he wanted to attack the capital, but he just wanted to force a group of fleeing Southern Army soldiers to hand over the fleeing in the city.

It happened that the King of Donghai occupied the Ximen and sent someone to invite the Southern Army. Taifu Cui changed his mind and changed direction to attack the Ximen. The Suwei Army also arrived from the city. The two sides fought a big battle inside and outside the city gate. In the end, the Suwei Army retreated and the Southern Army entered the city. He didn't know what happened next.

The situation of the Empress Dowager, Chanjun Hou and others is unknown.

Han Ruzi wanted to fly into the capital, at least rescued his mother and wife in the palace, but he still ordered not to move. He had too few people and could only wait until the situation was slightly clear before making a decision.

Cai Xinghai arrived and brought five or six thousand people, half of which were the Northern Army, and some tents were brought. Although not many, they could build real camps.

With the protection of the Northern Army soldiers, Meng E volunteered to go to the city to inquire about the situation, but did not ask for consent, and only said: "I'll go to the city to check it out and come back before noon."

Han Ruzi couldn't keep her, and he really needed to understand the situation in the city, so he had to watch Meng E disappear into the night.

Before dawn, another team of Southern Army arrived. There were more than 10,000 soldiers around Han Ruzi, but he still ordered a rest and no one was allowed to go out of the camp, and even no scouts were sent.

The sun rose halfway, Cui Teng came back on a horse, sweating and panting. When he saw Jue Hou, he shouted: "I'm crazy, all crazy, there are three emperors in the city!" (To be continued.)
