Chapter 265 Planning ahead

The trip to the south city of the palace maid Tong Qing'e caused a series of major changes. Even after the dust settled, she did not know that many of the things that night were her "credit".

First of all, Shangguan Sheng in the palace. He heard that a large group of palace servants fled, and he was very angry, even more angry than losing the seal. In his opinion, this was an unforgivable betrayal. The massacre of the palace servants was just a rumor, but now he began to seriously consider that he thought that the eunuchs and palace maids who remained in the palace were not trustworthy.

Then there were Cai Xinghai and Meng E. who originally planned to protect Juenhou's supporters with all their might. After seeing Baoxi, they immediately changed their goals and sent Baoxi out of the city no matter what. They planned to rush out of the Dongcheng Gate, which was relatively weak guarding, and then Meng E took Baoxi around the city to meet Juenhou.

Finally, it was Taifu Cui and King Donghai. Before they heard about the treasure seal, they were moved by an unexpected news.

Those who intercepted Meng E in Nancheng reported the news of a group of eunuchs and palace maids escaping from the palace layer by layer. Soon, he arrived at the King of East China. He came to find his uncle with great enthusiasm, "The guards in the eastern part of the palace are relaxed, it seems that God is helping me."

Cui Hong was not so confident, "No matter what, send troops out of the city to attack Juehou first, and then make plans."

King Donghai relied on his uncle's Nanjun and dared not urge him too much, but he had to say some questions, "Cui Er didn't even care about his cousin's murderous revenge and ran out of the city to join Han Ruzi. Why did his uncle refuse to stop him?"

Cui Hong had just arranged the matter of joining the attack on Jue Jue. He seemed very tired and said casually: "Cui Teng has this temper. I can't control him, so let him seek death. Cui Sheng left me a grandson, and it would be enough to have him."

"Uncle is so cruel." King Donghai left, but he felt very uncomfortable, thinking that Cui Hong was still on two boats, so he had to find another backup.

Hua Bin lost the trust of Taifu Cui. The three assassins he recommended failed to successfully kill Juehou and disappeared. When some generals of the Southern Army were in chaos, he did not provide any protection. When the Southern Army went to war with the Suwei Army, he became a useless person.

The dissatisfied Tokai Neptune met with the out-of-favor Huabin and soon got together.

"The people in the Jianghu are not very reliable." Donghai King stared at Hua Bin and said bluntly, "They all blow it loudly, either going to heaven and earth, or fighting a hundred or a thousand. When it comes to the time of using people, they are all waste. There are still hundreds of Jianghu people in the palace who have been captured as prisoners, and they can't beat the Guards at all."

"Haha, each has its own strengths. The martial arts of the people in the Jianghu may not be as high as they imagined, but they are loyal and would rather die than do what they promised. Of course, sometimes they may not be able to do it."

Donghai King sneered. Given that a man from the martial arts world died outside the Broken Iron City to protect him, he did not refute Hua Bin's words, "So, this attack on the palace may not be possible."

"Planning depends on people, and success depends on heaven."

"Well, why didn't the King of Huahu come to the capital? I miss him quite a bit."

"He is too old and has no other ability to withstand the strong winds and waves in the capital." Hua Bin said with a smile.

"It's better if you don't come. No matter what happens here, there will finally be someone in the Hua family who can stay out of the matter safely."

Hua Bin smiled reluctantly, "Didn't Cui send Cui Teng out of the capital?"

Cui Teng ran out by himself. Even if the Tutor Cui did not stop him, King Donghai smiled and said, "That's right, everyone has to prepare a way out for a retreat, it's understandable. I heard that Shangguan Sheng sent his family to Guandong early on. But I have no way out, and Han Ruzi doesn't. We only have one way out. We must be emperor no matter what, and die halfway through death."

King Donghai remembered his wife Tan, and he actually missed her a little. Now, like Concubine Cui, she is both in the palace and life and death are unknown.

Hua Bin's smile became even stiffer and she didn't respond.

King Tokai sighed, "If a person has a way out, will he become braver or more timid?"

Hua Bin can no longer pretend to be confused, "Your Majesty is worried that I will not do my best? Please rest assured that since I have returned to the capital, I have no intention of leaving intact."

Hua Bin once escaped once, and was prepared for it. Donghai King did not mention the past and said seriously: "The people in the Jianghu are loyal, but this is true, but who are these Jianghu people in the city following? It's not me, not my uncle, but the Marquis of Hua and the Tan family."

Hua Bin's face changed slightly, and she finally understood the intention of the East Sea King. After pondering for a while, she found that she had no choice and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't mind my incompetence, I would like to lead the way and rush into the palace first."

Donghai stood up and bowed to thank him, "The heroes from Yunmengze will definitely be desperate when they see Mr. Hua charging forward."

Hua Bin smiled twice and asked, "Where is the Tan family?"

"The Tan family's men, aged fifteen, have to take the lead in entering the palace this time."

Flowers have nothing to say.

"Fourth update to do it." King Donghai threw a word and said goodbye and left.

In another room, King Donghai found two censors and asked as soon as he met: "Do you admit that I am the emperor?"

Xiao Sheng and Shen Mingzhi were equivalent to being under house arrest. They could not escape and did not dare to escape. When they heard the question from King Donghai, they hurriedly knelt down, "I am loyal and loyal, why did Your Majesty say this?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm just asking, after all, you have supported the Champion Hou and are even willing to lead troops into the Grand Governor's Office for him. What have you done for me?"

The two of them lay on the ground and dared not speak.

"Champion Hou is dead. You just support me. How many more do you want to transfer me in the future?"

"Your Majesty has ascended the throne, and I have no reason to turn it back."

"Call your people and attack the palace together later. If you two are the prime ministers, you can't do it. If you go to the underground to meet Emperor Huan and Emperor Wu."

The two kowtowed and received the order, Xiao Sheng said, "But those scholars and the Chai family don't listen to our orders."

"The swords and guns can make them obey orders." King Donghai said coldly. He was already standing on the edge of the cliff. Everyone should stand in front of him, not behind him. "There is always a sprinkling of blood when attacking the palace. The difference is whether to be loyal or to be forced to sprinkle blood. There may be no difference to you, but to your family."

Donghai Neptune had a little bit of negotiation about Hua Bin, and it was a direct threat to the two censors.

There is still some time before the fourth update. Donghai King didn't want to be idle, so he went to find the Chai family again, coaxed and deceived him, and promised a lot of official titles in exchange for their loyalty. This loyalty is even more unreliable than the two censors, but Donghai King's requirements are not high, as long as these people can go to the palace tonight to charge.

Finally, he went to meet those scholars and bumped into a wall of iron here.

The disciples of the Imperial College and the Imperial College are the main force of this group of scholars. Even when facing many soldiers holding swords and guns, they refuse to recognize the throne of King Donghai, gather together to recite the classics of the ancestors loudly, and even refuse to talk to King Donghai.

King Tokai left sneered and decided to cleanse these useless scholars after the matter was done.

Before the fourth update arrived, a battle broke out in Nancheng first. Six or seven hundred people emerged from different places, all flocked to the same inn, and fought with a group of Juanhou troops in the inn and arranged by the Tan family.

The Tan family was outnumbered and quickly retreated.

In fact, there were only more than 200 soldiers from Juenhou's troops, but after they entered the capital, they secretly attracted many relatives and friends from the south of the capital, and the number quadrupled.

This night, they became the first force to act.

Cai Xinghai was extremely urchin. He led his men to attack the Dongcheng Gate, but the imperial palace, hoping to attract the power of the guards, and then a few elite forces escort Meng E out of the city.

Like Tong Qing'e, Cai Xinghai had no idea about the impact of this move.

The team of seven or eight hundred people was not in a mighty way to the palace. There was no obstacle along the way, and the people were hiding at home. The guards had already received news, and they could not figure out the truth for a while, and they did not dare to leave the palace to quell the chaos. They all stayed in the imperial city and waited for battle.

The forces gathered by Hua Bin and the Tan family were divided into many trunks hidden in the East City. The news was not smooth and I didn’t know what the sudden shouts appeared outside. I thought the action was ahead of schedule, so many people ran out of the hiding place and joined Cai Xinghai’s team.

The plan of Donghai King to attack the palace was so advanced.

Once the battle began, only inconsistent rumors spread. King Donghai had no time to find out the facts and immediately ordered Hua Bin, the men of the Tan family and the two censors to attack the city themselves.

As a result, the plan of the Southern Army and the Suwei Army to jointly attack Juehou was disrupted. The main force of the Suwei Army had moved to the near the northern city gate. Shangguan Sheng immediately ordered the entire army to prepare to retreat to the palace.

When news came from Beicheng, Cui Hong was furious and called King Donghai, but did not regard his nephew as the emperor, and angrily scolded: "How could you be so stupid? You actually attack the palace at this time?"

King Donghai blushed, "It's not because I ordered that these people in the martial arts world are all desperate people and are not subject to the control."

"It's over, it's all over. The Southern Army can only fight to the death with the Suwei Army. Juehou took a big advantage and watched the tiger fight. The great Chu country belongs to him."

"Why didn't my uncle send troops alone?"

"What should I do in the city when I send troops outside the city? Why is the remaining 10,000 Southern Army the enemy the Suwei Army?"

"Anyway, this is the case, so why not take the risk. Send someone to see Shangguan Sheng first and assure him that the attack outside the palace has nothing to do with us, and then let him see the Southern Army leave the city, whether to join forces to attack Jianhou or stay in the city to fight, so that he can choose."

"Let him choose? This is to hand over his life to his hands!" Cui Hong still felt that attacking in advance was his nephew's idea, but he didn't understand why.

"Send those scholars to the palace. They support Juehou, so they ask them to shout and call."

Cui Hong understood, "Let Shangguan Sheng think that the attacker was the one of Juehou."

"Those people from the martial arts world will not be able to attack the palace for a while. Once Shangguan Sheng finds out that they are not afraid, they are all from Juehou, so they are more willing to send troops out of the city, right?"

Cui Hong thought for a while, but there was no other way, so he asked the generals under his command to assign tasks according to the idea of ​​Donghai King.

Therefore, the plan to attack Juehou was also advanced.

A large number of southern troops left the city and when they were circling to the southwest corner, the guards also left the city from the north gate.

The palace blocked the attack, and Shangguan Sheng felt that the threat of Juehou was even greater, so he chose to believe Cui Hong's words and sent troops out of the city.

As soon as the north gate opened, Han Ruzi sent five thousand cavalrymen who had been preparing for a long time.

The battles inside and outside the city have begun.

At the same time, Meng E rushed out of the empty East City Gate with the help of a group of soldiers, and several masters who sneaked into the palace in advance were looking for an opportunity to open a palace gate. It is to be continued
