Wensheng Xiao led an army of nearly 30,000 people to the city gate. All the soldiers guarding the city gate were frightened by their formation. Then the soldiers who had just joined stood up and said: "Brothers, Liang Yong and Hu Mingshan are all dead.

We don’t need to be afraid of them anymore. Let’s open the city gates together to welcome the imperial army into the city and become citizens of the Song Dynasty again.”

"Are you telling the truth? Are Liang Yong and Hu Mingshan really dead?" the soldier on the city wall asked.

"It's absolutely true, Liang Yong, Hu Mingshan's head is right here, brothers, please take a look." Xiao Shengwensheng raised the heads of Liang Yong and Hu Mingshan and showed them to the soldiers guarding the city.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw the heads of Liang Yong and Hu Mingshan, they immediately cheered: "Okay, these two bitches are finally dead. We don't have to be afraid of them anymore. Let's open the city gate to welcome the imperial army into the city."

"Yes, welcome the imperial army into the city!" all the soldiers shouted.

Then everyone opened the city gate together, lowered the suspension bridge, and walked towards the Song army under the leadership of Xiao Wensheng.

The Song army outside the city was preparing to launch another feint attack when they suddenly saw the city gate open and a group of people coming out. They thought it was the rebel army launching a counterattack, so they quickly reported it to Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing ordered to prepare for the battle and sent someone to report to Huaju.

Wen Sheng, surnamed Xiao, led the common people and surrendered rebel soldiers to a place one hundred meters away from the Song army. He asked everyone to stop and walked towards the Song army alone.

"General, one of them is coming." The soldier said to Zhang Qing.

"I am humble enough to take someone to catch him." Ding Desun said.

Zhang Qing waved his hand gently and said, "I don't think they are going to fight with us. Don't worry, wait for him to come over and see what he says."

Soon, Wen Sheng, surnamed Xiao, walked up to Song Jun and said, "I want to see your general, please let me know."

Zhang Qing rode up to him, looked him up and down, and suddenly saw two human heads in his hand. He was startled, and then asked: "Who are you, and why do you want to see our general?"

Wen Sheng, surnamed Xiao, said: "My surname is Xiao, and I have the double name Jiasui. I have led the people in the city to kill the rebel Jingnan guard general Liang Yong and his general Hu Mingshan. I have led the people in the city to welcome the army into the city."

"What, you killed Liang Yong!" Zhang Qing was shocked.

"Exactly."

Xiao Jiasui said, then he lifted the two heads in his hands and said, "These are the heads of Liang Yong and Hu Mingshan. General, please check."

Zhang Qing, Liang Yong and Hu Mingshan didn't know each other, so they couldn't tell whether it was true or false.

At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard from behind. Zhang Qing looked back and saw that Hua Ju was coming with his men. He quickly asked the soldiers to spread out.

"See you, sir." Hua Ju came to the front, Zhang Qing bowed on his horse and said in salute.

Hua Ju nodded slightly, and first looked at the army of civilians on the opposite side.

Then I looked at Xiao Jiasui and saw that although he was dressed as a Confucian scholar, he had a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. He knew that this was no ordinary person and asked, "Where does this gentleman come from?"

Zhang Qing immediately repeated what Xiao Jiasui had just said to him. After hearing this, Hua Ju looked at the head in Xiao Jiasui's hand, then quickly got off the horse, clasped his fists with his hands and said to Xiao Jiasui: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for helping us capture Jingnan City.

Please accept my obeisance."

Xiao Jiasui saw that although Hua Ju was young, he had an extraordinary bearing, and the soldiers around him had special respect for him, so he knew that his identity must be extraordinary. He quickly put down the two heads he was holding, clasped his hands and bowed in return, saying: "

I am a citizen of the Song Dynasty, and it is my duty to help the imperial court recover the city occupied by thieves. There is no need for you to be polite."

"How did Mr. Xiao organize such a large army of civilians under the control of the rebels?" Hua Ju looked at the army of civilians behind him and asked Xiao Jiasui.

Xiao Jiasui told the story of the whole incident. Hua Ju was sincerely impressed and said: "Mr. Xiao is able to use clever tricks to organize such a large team under the control of thieves. He is really a strange person."

Xiao Jiasui said: "Actually, the ability to organize such a people's rebel army is not due to my work. It is because after Liang Yong and other thieves occupied Jingnan, they did not implement benevolent governance and treated the people cruelly and cruelly. The people had already hated them in their hearts.

I mean, I just aroused the hatred in their hearts.

In addition, if there is no imperial army outside to make the rebels wary, even with this army of common people, they still cannot shake the rebels, so the imperial army also has half of the credit."

This is not Xiao Jiasui flattering Hua Ju, but a fact, because if there were no imperial troops outside to involve the rebels, they would never have been able to kill Liang Yong so easily, let alone deal with the rebel soldiers in the city.

Therefore, the imperial army indeed played a certain restraining role.

"Let's go and take a look together." Hua Ju looked at the people on the opposite side and said to Xiao Jiasui.

"My lord, beware of their deceit and don't pass by easily." Qin Ming reminded.

Hua Ju smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, I believe Mr. Xiao."

Then he and Xiao Jiasui walked towards the common people. Hua Rong, Qin Ming and others immediately followed him to protect him. Zhang Qing, Ding Desun, and Gong Wang also ordered all the soldiers to be vigilant in case anything happened to the other party.

If there is any movement, take action to eliminate them immediately.

Hua Ju and Xiao Jiasui came to those people and said: "Fellow fellow villagers, you helped us regain Jingnan City. On behalf of the court, I thank you. Please rest assured that all the promises we wrote on the kite will be fulfilled.

"

"Sir, are you telling the truth?" a man in his thirties asked.

Hua Ju knew that these people were frightened by the corrupt officials in the past, and he was worried that they would not keep their words, so he said sincerely: "I know that all the elders have been heartbroken by the corrupt officials in the past, so for us

There is some doubt about the promise. I can solemnly say here

I swear to you that every word of the promise we made will be fulfilled. If any of your families has been wronged, whose family has been bullied, or whose belongings have been robbed, you can all report to the new governor of Jingnan.

I will help you make the decision to redress the injustice and get back what was robbed.

If the new governor doesn't make the decision for you, come to me, and I will help you report to the emperor to punish him severely, and let the emperor personally issue an order to make the decision for you."

"Sir, how can we find you?" Another person asked.

Hua Ju smiled and said, "My name is Hua Ju, and I am the commander of the escort army. As long as we ask anyone in the capital, we will know how to find me?"

The commander of the escort army, Hua Ju!

Xiao Jiasui, who was standing next to Hua Ju, looked at Hua Ju with a shocked expression. He clasped his hands together and saluted him and said: "It turns out that your Excellency was the one who beat up the Liao envoys in the Golden Palace and brought down the traitors such as Cai Jing, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu.

I led my troops to pacify the guard army command room Huaju in La and Liangshan in the south of the Yangtze River. I am really disrespectful. I hope you will forgive me."

Hua Ju quickly helped him up and said, "Mr. Xiao doesn't have to be like this."

Xiao Jiasui said: "I have long heard that your Excellency is young, intelligent, courageous and resourceful. When I saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation."

Hua Ju quickly waved his hand and said: "Mr. Xiao, thank you for your praise. When it comes to bravery and strategy, Mr. Xiao is truly wise and courageous. If it hadn't been for Mr. Xiao's ingenious plan today, Jingnancheng would still be under the control of the rebels at this moment, so

I am nothing compared to Mr.

Xiao Jiasui said: "The villain is just Xiaozhi. When the treacherous ministers such as Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, and Tong Guan controlled the government, you were able to eradicate them step by step and change the political atmosphere of the Song Dynasty.

It is truly great wisdom. How can a villain dare to compare with an adult?"

Hua Ju smiled and said, "Sir, please stop flattering me. Let's go into the city quickly."

"As commanded."

Xiao Jiasui looked at the people and said: "Dear fellow villagers, this is Mr. Hua who sent Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, Tong Guan and other traitors to the execution ground. Since he said that he will fulfill all his promises, he will definitely fulfill them.

Now let’s welcome Mr. Hua into the city together.”

"OK!"

The common people's gate moved aside, and an avenue about ten meters wide grew out to invite Huazhu to enter the city.

Hua Ju did not ride a horse, but walked to the city with Xiao Jiasui, waving to the people on both sides as he walked.

After entering the city, Hua Ju said to Hua Rong, Qin Ming, Zhang Qing, and Xue Yuanhui: "General Hua, General Qin, General Zhang, and Lao Xue, you immediately lead troops to defend the four cities, and at the same time send someone to notify General Sun.

General Guan, General Lin, and others, ask them to move the barracks to the side of the road to make way for the people."

Although Jingnan City is a big city, there are more than 170,000 Huaje and others. If they all flocked to the city at once, it would have a great impact on the lives of the people, so they could only bring some of them into the city, and others

Stationed outside the city.

"yes."

Hua Rong, Qin Ming, Zhang Qing, and Xue Yuanhui responded, and then each led a team of troops to the four cities to take over the defense.

"Master Lu, Wu Song, you two take people to take over the military camp and collect all the soldiers in the military camp." Hua Ju said.

"Yes." Lu Zhishen and Wu Song took people to the military camp.

Then Hua Ju said to Qin Donghao: "Old Qin, you are responsible for the security of the city. Tell your brothers that you only maintain the stability of the people and never allow anyone to break into people's homes. No one is allowed to bully the people. If you disobey,

Anyone who does this will be killed without mercy."

If this team were all soldiers of the Guard, Hua Ju wouldn't have to tell Qin Donghao anymore, because the soldiers of the Guard knew that there were military orders not to break into people's homes and bully people, and they would never violate them, so even if Hua Ju didn't

Even if you remind me, no one will do it.

But now many of the escorts have just recruited former rebel soldiers. Although they are from poor people, they have been mixed with the rebels for a long time, and they will inevitably pick up some bad habits. If they are not reminded, they will soon be

Maybe they will do something that violates military regulations. If something happens, even if they are brought under military law, it will not be able to make up for the harm caused to the people.

Now Jingnan City has just been recovered, and the people are still waiting and watching with anxiety about the imperial court. If something happens at this time, it will affect the imperial court's impression in their minds, so such things must be absolutely prohibited from happening.

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely warn them."
