After dawn, the shouts of killing finally gradually subsided. After a night of fighting, all four gates of Jinling City were under the control of the Manichaeans. All that was left was to clean up the battlefield at the minimum cost.

Second Qianxun rested for two hours and then went out. Jiang Ning also took two green forests and headed towards the Li family. Compared with the south of the city, the situation in the north of the city was much better. At least there had not been a large-scale rape.

It was a killing situation, but the Manichaeans broke in in small groups.

, grab some things, and if they encounter anyone who is disobedient, they will kill them with one knife, but those big families cannot get in. Those big fish are reserved for the people above, and they can only pick up the small fish and shrimps.

If we pick up the leaks, when the Holy Duke comes to the city, I'm afraid it won't be easy to pick up the leaks.

When Jiang Ning met these people, they all looked at each other. Jiang Ning did not let these two people carry weapons, so they looked like they were just ordinary scholars with two servants. There was such a strange look at each other for a short time.

After looking at each other, they went about their own business.

In the Li Mansion, the old man Li Zili was sitting in the hall. The whole Li Mansion had already begun to tidy up their belongings and prepare for action. Sitting under the old man Li were the great scholar Zhang Xuecheng, the head of the Mo family, Mo Liang, and two others.

Generals, one wearing armor, full of

The body was stained with blood, and the sword was still in its scabbard, but the long sword was gone. He was holding a ring knife in his hand. The other man was dressed in yellow and had a tiger thorn in his right hand. The five people were silent for a moment, and the sounds of servants moving things became louder and louder.

Obviously, it obviously went through a lot of debate.

One of these two people was Lu Tong, a fifth-rank general who did not flee south with General Ren, and the other was Li Yuanguang, the chief of the Li family's guard. Lu Tong was putting out the fire at the north gate, and a team of 1,500 men guarded the north gate.

One hundred people put out the fire, and another thousand people took turns, but

Being attacked from the south, the north gate was opened. Naturally, they resisted to the death. They repelled three waves of attacks outside the city. However, the scouts sent out in the middle of the night revealed that the south gate had been broken, and all four gates had been attacked.

News that the Nijia had entered the city and General Ren ordered to retreat.

The people of a city were affected, and he took the only 800 people left after three rounds of defense to fight and retreat. On the way, he met Li Yuanguang who went out to inquire for information. The people also needed to rest. The Li family provided food supplies. After the supplies,

, then came to the lobby.

Li Yuanguang is also very skilled. He has two hundred guards under his command. He also invited Mo Liang, the head of the Mo family, to come to discuss countermeasures. The Mo family's guards also have close to two hundred. If they can be combined with Lu Tong's soldiers, it will be one thousand.

It is not difficult for a team of two hundred people to break out.

Especially now that Manichaeism has just entered the city. Although they have controlled the four gates, they have not completely controlled Jinling City. There are still many guerrillas in the city who are continuing to resist. Although it has little effect on the overall situation, it can at least be achieved.

Delay the time for Manichaeism to completely control Jinling City.

At first, the Mo family, like the Li family, thought that this was just refugees rushing into the city, but overnight, the hussar general Ren Tienan who was guarding the city withdrew, and the prefect and the general also left under the cover of the soldiers. If it was a

The incident would definitely not be like this. When Li Yuancheng returned to the Li Mansion in the morning with the news, Li Shu, the head of the Li family, suddenly realized that if he stayed here, he would become a piece of meat on the chopping block sooner or later. After all, he was not from the Nangong family.

When I heard that the Nangong family was where the disaster started, I became more determined to think about the fall of Jinling. I started packing my luggage early in the morning. At this moment, the Mo family also got the news, and Mo Liang came in person to discuss countermeasures. At this moment, there was no need to worry.

The slightest bit of fighting spirit will lead to both prosperity and loss.

Mo Liang cleared his throat, rubbed his hands slowly on the crutch, and said to the great scholar Zhang Xuecheng: "Mr. Zhang, you and I are all over fifty. The situation is critical now. If we don't leave, I'm afraid we will

I can't leave. I heard that the people here are Manichaeans. A few days ago,

Zi once made moves in Jinling, where the Tiance Army was stationed, and they invaded here in large numbers. I heard that they believed in whatever heavenly father they believed in. Women could also go to court or be generals, and they had the same status as men. If they were in

In Jinling, where is the place for you and me to stand?"

Zhang Xuecheng is the most virtuous and respected scholar in Jinling City. Many times his words are more effective than those of the prefect. At this moment, he frowned and stared at the green bricks on the ground and said: "Zhou Li, Jian'an style, and the spirit of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

In my Daxia Dynasty, it has reached this point. How dare someone do such a thing that violates the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules, and say such treacherous and unethical words. This is treason..."

As Zhang Xuecheng spoke, his face turned pale and his hands were shaking, obviously he was angry.

Although Li Shu was a businessman, he had a close relationship with Mr. Zhang, admired Confucianism, and regarded Mr. Zhang's words as a guide. Hearing what Mr. Zhang said, he could only sigh at this moment and said: "For today's sake,

The plan is to go out of the city first, find the army of the Ministry of War, and then make a plan. If

If we don’t leave, they are shouting about killing the rich and giving to the poor, abolishing Confucianism and promoting Taoism. Sooner or later we will be arrested by them. It doesn’t matter that I am an old man. I will pity the children behind me..." As he said that, he looked at the people outside the door.

The grandchildren who were picked up and loaded onto the carriage felt infinite pity in their hearts.

"General Lu, look..." Li Guangyuan hugged his fists towards Lu Tong.

He wanted to try his best to persuade Lu Tong to join his camp. As long as they changed their clothes, these soldiers would be dressed like servants, which would naturally reduce some pressure in attracting firepower. Traveling with three families would definitely increase their chances of winning by 30%, and they

Their purpose is the same, they all want to find a bigger backer, that is, the army of the Ministry of War, and then go to other state capitals to make other plans, and now the first step is to get out of Jinling City.

Lu Tong was hesitant at first. It would definitely be unrealistic for them to break out on their own, because the goal was too obvious, but bringing three families with them would be too cumbersome. However, no one in Jinling City could provide the cost of his 800 men to break out.

After that, if they can't find the army, it doesn't matter if the Manichaeans don't chase them. Once they catch up, their supplies will become a huge burden. Now they are in a dilemma.

Immediately he sighed and said: "Forget it, after leaving the city, if we can find a large army, the rest will be decided by the general. If we can't find it, then we will go to Suzhou together. There are also five thousand garrison troops in Suzhou. The Manichaeans are here this time."

Although it is fierce, it is impossible to capture two cities at once. Since the main force is in Jinling, Suzhou will definitely be fine. We

By going to Suzhou, first of all, you can take a breather. Secondly, the defenders of Suzhou are also the defenders of the Ministry of War. We are also returning. Even if the Manichaeans turn around and attack Suzhou, the imperial court must have sent troops by then. So everyone

What do you think? If we don’t go to Suzhou, then I and my eight hundred brothers will break out of the encirclement and head towards Suzhou."

Hearing this, Li Shu and Mo Liang looked at each other, nodded slightly, and immediately said: "Mr. Zhang, is this all right? As the saying goes, you don't have to worry about having no firewood to keep the green hills, as long as you keep the foundation, when the time comes the imperial court will send troops, these disobedient people will

These people will definitely end up being slaughtered, and it won’t be too late for us to come back when the time comes.”

Zhang Xuecheng shook his head and sighed, but said: "Right now, this is all we can do..."

Li Shu immediately ordered people to pick up Zhang Xuecheng's family, and arrangements were being made intensively. As he was doing this, he suddenly heard a noise at the door, and then a servant ran in with a letter.

"Master, there is a man named Jiang Ning at the door asking to see you. He says he is your old friend. If you read this letter, you will meet him." The servant handed an envelope with both hands.

"But Jiang Zichuan of Jiangning who writes hundreds of poems a day?" Zhang Xuecheng walked over with a cane and asked with a frown: "If it's him, please invite him in quickly."

Zhang Xuecheng has heard about Jiang Ning for a long time. The fight between him and Lu Yuntian a few days ago also reached his ears. Although it was a gambling fight between juniors, the couplets and poems were indeed amazing and shocking.

He was also greatly shocked. He still has a love for talents.

Seeing this, Li Shu and Mo Liang nodded: "Ask clearly, if so, come with more energy."

The envelope was opened immediately. When the three of them saw the contents of the letter, they were shocked. Li Shu even ran forward: "I will go there myself..."

Mo Liang, who was standing in the hall, said: "According to the Prime Minister's letter, this Jiang Ning is indeed from the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

Mr. Zhang also nodded slightly: "The Right Prime Minister and I have been on good terms, and even after ten years of separation, I can still see his handwritten letters. Haha, it's not easy for Jiangning Jiang Zichuan to have the Right Prime Minister write a handwritten letter."
