Chapter 683
However, among these honorable families there are more or less friendships that have been exhausted from the previous generations. It is not bad for the Marquis of Zhen Guo to welcome the old Marquis of Zhen Xi. He has enough status and can still talk.

Besides, wasn't it your son's idea?It's not wrong to be Lao Tzu's bag.

The people in the hall had different thoughts, but no one objected. King Ning thought for a while, and then responded with satisfaction, "Xie Qing is really the humerus of the country. At the critical moment, you will share the worries of the king. This king can do this." Peace and calmness. If so, then I will thank you. However, this is just in case, and I hope Xie Qing will be careful."

For the remaining words, King Ning believed that with Zhen Guohou's obedient mind, he could understand even if he didn't make it clear.

Zhen Guohou understands, but King Ning also needs to understand one thing. He did this just in case, but he risked his own life, so... "Your Highness, I understand. However, this action is of great importance. The preparations that should be made still have to be done, His Highness is afraid that he will have to send some people and ministers to go away."

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhen Guohou ordered three thousand soldiers from the Jingwei, left the west gate all the way, and galloped westward.

Zhen Guohou didn't know what the consequences would be when he left Beijing to go west. King Ning felt uneasy and ordered all the ministers not to leave the palace today, so as to avoid their worries, and their families were once again guarded by the imperial guards.

Zhu Jingyu stayed with the hall until King Ning couldn't hold on anymore and took a break for a while, then he withdrew from the hall.

At this time, it was already three o'clock.Tonight is clear and bright, a crescent moon hangs high in the dark blue sky, and the sky is full of stars, making people stop and look up, as if people's hearts have become quiet under the night sky.

"Young master." Fang Nan ran up behind him silently, cupped his fists and replied, "The person you are looking for has been found."

Zhu Jingyu's eyes twinkled, as if all the stars had fallen from the sky.

In the early morning of the second day, outside the south city gate, which was besieged but calm for a day and a night, the rebels suddenly launched an attack.Moreover, it came fiercely as soon as it came, and even pushed out the cannons that were bought for Nanjing Wei after King Ning went south to relieve the disaster last year and went straight to the city gate. King Ning was so angry that he dropped several good teacups and paperweights , scolded the white-eyed wolf several times, and I don’t know that the people in Nanjing Wei, especially Xiao Jing, who bears the brunt, have been talked about so many times, and even almost greeted the eighteenth generation of their ancestors. Whether their ears are itchy or not, his family Whether the coffin boards in the ancestral grave can be held down or not.

However, although the cannon was very intimidating, there were not many shells after all, and after two rounds, it was pushed down.

However, the walls of the capital city were as solid as gold, and those rebels failed to attack twice, probably because they declined again and were exhausted three times, that is why Ming Jin withdrew his troops.

King Ning's complexion improved by two points when he heard the battle report ahead.

King Ning's complexion improved, but some people naturally had a bad complexion.

Xiao Jing is the best among them, but not because he heard King Ning scolding him because of his ears, but because of "hitting him twice like this and then withdrawing, isn't this just playing tricks? It's too aggrieved." Xiao Jing When Jing returned to the tent, he was covered in dust, and his face was also black and white, against that stinky face, it was hard to say anything.Just now, in order to create the appearance of a disastrous defeat, he escaped in a bit of a panic. When has he been so aggrieved?Except that time it was captured on the Yangtze River.

"Master Xiao, don't you want blood to flow like a river? It's a good thing to use tactics to control the casualties to a minimum, although it may not be true that the soldiers will not fight without blood, and the casualties will be kept to a minimum, isn't it?" Stopping war with war is, after all, the best strategy. If Mr. Xiao thinks the fight is not enough, don’t worry. I promised the general that when all the dust settles, I will guarantee that the general will return to the northwest. Those Tatars People are the most restless, and by then, will Mr. Xiao still worry about not having a battle?"

A delicate and crisp voice rang in his ears crisply, stuffing Xiao Jing's depression back to his chest little by little.Who told him that he couldn't beat it, he couldn't say it, so he could only admit defeat?
Xiao Jing's complexion changed a few times, and he said in a daze after a while, "I'm just worried about whether it will be useful or not."

Amidst a low laugh, Ye Xinyi, who was sitting beside her and was wiping her Qinghong sword as thin as a cicada's wing with a cloth towel, raised her head, her almond eyes like morning dew were still clear and clear, slightly bent , Smiling like a crescent moon, "My family's marching and fighting is not as good as Mr. Xiao, but he is better than anyone else in manipulating people's hearts. If we follow his words, I am afraid that King Ning will believe that we are in a hurry. I am afraid that the situation will change once Zhen Xihou returns to the capital, so he hastened to capture the south gate and occupy the capital as soon as possible. When he thinks about it this way, he is naturally relieved, and our mission has been accomplished."

"General Xia agreed, let us do everything, what is Lord Xiao worried about?" Ye Xinyi finally frowned when asked this sentence.

Xiao Jing's expression became more and more uncomfortable, "How long will it take?"

After the Qinghong sword in Ye Xinyi's hand was wiped, he turned his wrist and pulled a beautiful sword flower. The Qinghong sword made a buzzing sound, and with a flash of thunder, it was already pointing directly to the west. The curved red lips set off her armor, a blend of tenderness and toughness, contradictory, but strangely unobtrusive.

"Soon!" She whispered two words, as if sighing.Obviously light and fluttering, it falls in the ear and enters the heart, but it is loud.

The smile in her eyes faded and turned dark, she couldn't wait any longer.

The next day, the rebels attacked again.This time, it was even more swift and violent than the previous time, and they had even reached the city wall, but because of the row of firecrackers from the Shenji Battalion, they suffered many casualties and were defeated again.

For three consecutive days, the rebels kept attacking every time, but couldn't advance an inch, so the rebels became more anxious, lost their way when they marched, and fled in another defeat.

Afterwards, they seemed to have learned their lesson, they just surrounded them peacefully and did not attack again, but maybe it was because of the few defeats they had suffered before, and their morale seemed a little low.

Compared with them, King Ning is in a good mood.

He didn't expect that the rebel army, which he feared so much, would be so vulnerable.Moreover, they are so panicked, the more panicked they are, the more likely they are to make mistakes. Why?Naturally, it was because they were afraid. They were afraid that if they lost this opportunity, they would never have the possibility of winning the capital again.

So, why are you so afraid?

King Ning naturally had some guesses in his heart, so when he heard the good news that Zhen Guohou's cronies came back and reported that Zhen Guohou had joined the old Zhen Xihou and escorted Xia Changhe to the road back to Beijing, he was very happy. It gave birth to a feeling that it should be like this.Even at the court meeting, he laughed out loud with joy, and told all the ministers to go out of the city with him to meet him when Zhenxihou arrived in Beijing.

Naturally, it was to show favor and deter the rebels.

However, some people objected immediately. Although this move was meant to deter, it was more likely to be an insult in the eyes of the rebels. If it aroused their fighting spirit, it would be bad.
