Volume 2: Turbulence, Thousands of Miles South of the Yangtze River Chapter 330: Battle of Jinling (1)

The soldiers and horses of Ningshan Mansion and Gao Qiu have been hoarding outside the city for eight days, but they have no intention of attacking at all. They don't even call for formation and practice normally every day.

But the more this happened, the more strange and uneasy Fang La felt. The news he received every day was that everything was fine and there was no friction at all.

Not only Fang La, but Lu Qinghou and others were also a little surprised. At least there should be tentative attacks, such as feinting a few times to see the level of city defense here and the speed of peripheral support, so as to make further arrangements.

A one-step attack strategy, but from beginning to end, neither Gao Qiu nor Ning Que made a move during these eight days.

After Lu Qinghou's careful consideration, the deployment of troops was also changed. Fang Mao commanded the 100,000 troops outside the city. Fang Jie and Deng Yuanjue defended from the north and south gates respectively. Ning Buhui, Wang Ren guarded the east gate, and Si Xingfang guarded the east gate.

Guarding the west gate, Liu Yun led his cavalry out of the north gate and sneaked into the mountain late at night.

In the forest, waiting for the attack on the city to cut off the back road, Li Tianding and Zhang Jian guarded the palace. In this way, the original 150,000 people outside the city were transferred back to 50,000 to supplement the city defense. There were a total of 180,000 horses in the city.

The gate is garrisoned with 50,000 men, the other three gates are garrisoned with 20,000 men each, and the remaining 30,000 men can be deployed freely.

Under Cheng Jinyun's training, Jiang Ning's mastery of the Bahuang Liuhe Kung Fu has become increasingly mature, and his kung fu has also grown by leaps and bounds, making him completely different from before.

Fang Jinzhi also felt that the war was coming. He was busy with Ning Buhui in the army every day, but for Jiang Ning, he never felt relieved. He always felt that this young and beautiful master had something to do with Jiang Ning, but he couldn't find anything to do with it.

, and can only give up.

The blacksmith shop has also been closed in the past few days, and he rented a house near the Princess Mansion. He talked about things in simple terms and paid attention to the movements in the entire city. Zhou Yong frequently traveled between the city guards and major pawnshops, and with Zhou Xiang.

The meetings are becoming more and more frequent.

Jiang Ning met Zhou Xiang twice in the past few days, each time with different arrangements. As an officer guarding the city, it was extremely unusual for Zhou Xiang to report to the Prince Consort of the Princess Mansion, but he brought something with him every time, but he had some thoughts.

It was necessary to mobilize the meaning, and Jiang Ning would naturally do the trick. Zhou Xiang would come out cursing every time, and would not forget to urge him when he walked to the door.

Every household seemed to know that the war was coming. They closed their doors and closed their doors. Since the army was stationed ten miles away on May 13th, the streets had become increasingly deserted.

The only unique place is Tai'an Academy.

Since Nangong Yaowen was trapped at home and was not allowed to go out, Lu Yuntian, the most talented man in Jinling, seemed to be stimulated. He returned to the academy and locked himself up. The academy was also surrounded by troops sent by Lu Qinghou.

Except for necessary expenses, they will not be allowed to leave the mountain at all.

Many students were either worried about their families, could not bear the loneliness, or were attracted by the fame. Within two months, 70% of the students chose to join the Yongle Dynasty. It is ridiculous to think that the four great Confucian scholars

One of them, Guan Xiaoyun, was proud of himself and taught poetry and etiquette, but the students he taught were shameless.

Guan Xiaoyun was on the attic, looking at the leafy academy. No one had pruned the branches and flowers for a long time, and they were already a bit dilapidated. In just two months, his proud students had treated him badly.

His attitude also gradually changed.

Among the talented scholars in Jinling, no one spoke a word in this rolling tide. Their daily quoting of scriptures, their romance, their success, and their success have all become empty words and a joke.

"Dean Guan, the letter from the Prince Consort to you..."

Guan Xiaoyun suddenly saw a letter that was still in the corner. This was handed to him half a month ago. The letter was written by Jiangning Jiang Zichuan, who was known as the most talented man in Jiangnan. I heard that

He was a disciple of Qi Yunmeng and a representative of the younger generation in Hangzhou literary circles, but now he has become Princess Jinzhi's consort and Fang La's lackey.

If you can't leave your name in history, you will be infamy for thousands of years, and Jiang Ning embodies this sentence vividly.

The day before yesterday, I even heard that Jiang Ning went on an expedition with the traitors from the Ningshan Prefecture, went to the front line to defend against the officers and soldiers, and even came back alive. Why was he still able to come back alive? Isn't this guy a scholar?

Guan Xiaoyun gradually frowned. He had also seen Jiang Ning's poems. His writing style and artistic conception were naturally beyond what he could write at this age. Guan Xiaoyun gradually picked up the letter.

But the disgusted expression gradually disappeared, and turned to become extremely solemn. He immediately picked up the pen, splashed ink, and filled the book with indignation. After a long time, he dried the four-page letter and placed it in the envelope with confidence.

After adding hand stamp pads, he opened the door and walked towards the courtyard.

"Jiang Ning's son persuaded him to surrender a few days ago. This is my reply to him. Take it." Guan Xiaoyun said, throwing the letter in his hand to the ground, turning around with a puff of sleeves and snorting coldly, and walked towards the lake.

The guard frowned. However, this was one of the four great scholars of today, and someone the military strategists would strive to win over. Naturally, they had to take good care of him and not dare to make any mistakes. Otherwise, they would not be able to bear the blame if they were blamed by the superiors.

The man picked up the letter, went down the mountain, and walked towards the Prince Consort's Mansion.

On the early morning of May 14th, at 3:00 p.m., it was already bright, and on the city walls, in the streets and alleys, there were articles written by ink talents.

"To appeal to thieves, there are thieves from the Southwest today. Their surname is Fang, La, and they are called Shenggong. They are actually people who deceive the world and steal their reputation. They have been Xia for three generations, eating the emperor's salary, not obeying the emperor's decree, and establishing themselves as kings. This is not tolerated by the southwest. This is a sect.

crime; accounting for three states and ten

In the eight prefectures, killing good people, seizing the women of the people, making kings and prime ministers, and establishing a dynasty in Yongle, these are the two deadly sins; wherever they go, the people are in dire straits, and the remaining Manis go about their own business, commit adultery and robbery, and commit all kinds of evil. These are the three deadly sins.

also……"

A eloquent and over 700-word statement, listing Fang La and the Seven Deadly Sins of Manichaeism, one by one, following the rules of the king, ministers, and people, heaven, earth, and benevolence, all of the corruption and corruption of Manichaeism.

Disobedience.

"Pa..." Lu Qinghou slapped the black and white writing on the case with his palm, gritted his teeth and said, "Who is it? Who is the one who wrote these things?"

"Still checking..."

"Check, are you still checking?"

"Yes, the troops patrolling at three o'clock today discovered that they had not... not found... before."

"Scheme to attack, scheming to attack, this is a scheming to attack the mind, can it be spread among the army, among the army?" Lu Qinghou's expression changed drastically. He was able to spread tens of thousands of messages throughout Jinling City overnight. Except for those scholars,

Who else has such great ability? Seven hundred words, even if it is copied by a hundred people, it will take a day and a night to copy it. There must be a gathering of literati...

"Arrest...arrest all those who are literate. We must ask them tomorrow, not before tonight. No, before tonight, we must catch the mastermind of this matter..." Lu Qinghou ordered, as if he was already a little disappointed.

Measured.

"Yes..." The soldiers behind him hurriedly went down to deliver the order.

Lu Qinghou looked at the rising sun and suddenly felt helpless in his heart. Who is this person? He actually used the method of attacking the heart to such an extent. Xu Xuanjie, the most powerful enemy in the enemy army, has been killed by Ning Que. Will he still

Anyone?

And the news of this memorandum also reached Ning Que's camp in the early morning.

"Is it Gao Qiu?" Ning Que asked.

He Zirong couldn't deny it: "It's possible... After all, the only ones who can move inside are the scouts from the Ministry of War..."

"No, no, if he had such great ability, he wouldn't come to me..." Ning Que rejected this idea again.
