Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1331
"Don't panic, don't be chaotic! The Jin army is just bluffing, and there is no strong force to violate the situation!"

Located near the ferry bridge on the south bank of the Xiangshui River, the leading general Wang Lang led thousands of soldiers. While standing in line to prevent the rioters from the south of the city from spreading to the north of the city, they were also making great fanfare in order to soothe the crowd and suppress the riots.At worst, it is also necessary to call here to gather those guards who have been dispersed or fled.

From this point of view, the leader Wang Lang has lived up to the trust and entrustment of the Capricorn Lord Shihu to him, endured the pain of losing his son, and is still trying to restore the current collapse of Xiangguo.But then again, if Wang Lang doesn't do these things right now, he has nothing to do at all.

To avenge your son?

Not to mention whether Wang Lang has the courage to kill Prince Shi Sui, even if he has, he has no soldiers to use right now.Among Xiangguo's standing troops, the most important is the imperial guards in charge of the palace guards. To a certain extent, Wang Lang can also be said to be the most powerful person in Xiangguo before, especially in the case of Lord Jie. After Shi Hu sealed off some areas in the palace garden, Prince Shi Sui was not allowed to set foot there.

But from last night to now, Wang Lang was first transferred away from Jiande Palace, and the main force of the imperial guards was also stuck in the mud in the south of the city, unable to extricate themselves. There is no deterrence at all!

Before that, he left the forbidden army and went to a few squares north of the city to lobby the nobles and elders in the country, just because he was worried that he would not have enough power to stabilize the chaos.And those people were also successfully persuaded by him, and each released their own melody, but these people's status and qualifications are far superior to Wang Lang's, and each of them has a strong demand, and they need to rely on the melodies under their command to achieve it. Hand over this part of your own troops to Wang Lang to obey orders.

The most precious contingency time in the second half of the night was wasted. Not only did Wang Lang's controllable power not increase, but even the original imperial guards were coerced by the riots in the south of the city because there was no main general to suppress the army, and it was difficult to gather together for a long time. This also made Wang Lang Feel ashamed and angry.It's just this embarrassment and anger, and it's unclear whether it was because he failed the trust of the Lord Shihu, or because he missed the best opportunity to attack Jiande Palace and avenge his son.

"Anyone who wears armor will be lined up by the riverside to be compiled, and those who follow the chaos will be killed without mercy!"

In a hurry, Wang Lang even stepped forward to kill those soldiers who had clearly heard the banner but didn't realize it, and refused to obey the order.

Fortunately, in today's Xiangguo, although the hearts of the people are turbulent and everyone is scheming, there are still many people who can understand the righteousness. In the southern part of the city, each has its own tribe, temporarily joining the leader Wang Lang's command, relying on the Xiangshui River that passes through the city, to isolate the two chaotic places in the north and south of the city.

As people joined the south bank of the Xiangshui River one after another, this section of the line of defense gradually became more stable.After all, there are many nobles and nobles in the north of the city, and each of their families raises a large number of tribes and slaves, and the organization of these tribes is far stronger than those in the south of the city. At least, the momentum of the riots in the south of the city to continue to spread to the north was curbed.

"Leading the army, what will happen next?"

Hearing someone ask such a question, Wang Lang looked solemnly at the Jiande Palace on the north bank of the river.

The south of the city is just an abandoned place, with many wandering food and murderers. It was originally used as a peripheral fence for the city of Xiangguo on the north bank of Xiangshui. For the rich and powerful of Jie country, it is acceptable.

Now that the riots have been locked in the south of Xiangshui, the most urgent thing right now is to quickly suppress the chaos in the north of Xiangguo City, especially Jiande Palace.As long as they, the upper-level dignitaries of the Jie Kingdom, can reach a consensus, they can gather the forces of all parties to suppress internal troubles and chase down foreign enemies.

A lot of thoughts flashed through Wang Lang's mind quickly, and at the end there was still a wry smile on the corner of his mouth. He knew what the correct way to do at the moment was, but he couldn't do it because he didn't have enough strength in his hands.Even though some of the Haozong tribes joined his army later, including some previously separated imperial guards returning, the defense line of Xiangshui is still weak.

He wanted to increase the power in his hands, so he could only continue to suppress the riots in the south of the city in order to mobilize more powerful soldiers.

"Send someone quickly to Xianguang Temple to invite Great Monk Fo Tucheng to come here!"

Wang Lang's anxious mood suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he thought of a coup to deal with the current problem.The lord has worshiped Buddha for a long time. As the most virtuous and eminent monk in Hebei, the great monk Fo Tucheng also enjoys a high reputation among the people of Xiangguo.

As a general in the army, Wang Lang couldn't believe or not believe in things like the functions of gods and ghosts.But right now, he can use Fotucheng's high reputation in the country to calm people's hearts and stop the chaos in the south of the city.

Although the whole city is calling for the King of the Jin Army and so on, Wang Lang has not seen a single soldier of the Jin Army with definite deeds so far. It is conceivable that this must be someone with ulterior motives inciting to confuse the public.

The traces of the Jin army's enemies are indeed confirmed, and there is indeed news from the north of the city, where the situation is relatively good, that there is a Jin army enemy fleeing into Jiande Palace.As for the south of the city, even if there are Jin troops, they will only be small groups of troops.

The enemy's rumors are used to confuse the people, but Wang Lang uses the Buddha's trace to calm people's hearts.For the people of Xiangguo, even though the Jin army is mighty and unparalleled, it exists in the legend after all, and there are very few of them who can really see it.But the country has worshiped Buddhism for a long time, and the great monk Fo Tucheng has been active in the upper class and the market in Xiangguo since the time of the ancestor Shile. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a Buddha walking in the world.

If the Great Monk Fo Tucheng could show up at this moment to appease people's hearts, and even refute the rumor that the Jin army did not invade the city, the panic-stricken people in the south of the city would definitely explain their panic.

"Should have thought of this section earlier..."

Wang Lang secretly sighed in his heart, although there were many reasons for the outbreak of the turmoil in the south of the city, and the Jin army must have contributed to the flames, but if one traces back to the most fundamental reason, it was Prince Shi Xi who conspired to cause chaos in the palace.

But in the final analysis, no matter whether the Shi Sui brothers shattered the wall or the blood stained the palace, they had nothing to do with the common people in the south of the city.

But it’s not too late to understand now, Wang Lang waited anxiously to invite the followers of Fotucheng to return, while watching people from both sides of the Xiangshui River join in the line of defense one after another, his mood gradually recovered stable.

With the hope of ordering the chaos, the pain of losing a son came to my heart again.Wang Lang is Shi Hu's confidant, but he has no respect and obedience to the prince Shi Sui, both of them stay in the country, collision is inevitable, it can be said that they hate each other.Now add this hatred of bereavement, new hatred and old hatred welled up in his heart, Wang Lang said bitterly in a subtle tone: "Today we will kill this evil son!"

He was still thinking about how to deal with Prince Shi Sui, who was chaotic and helping the enemy after drawing out his strength, but he found that the rioters in the south of the city were attacking the river bank defense line a little bit more, and shouts such as "Jin army has arrived!" The sound became louder and louder.

"Keep the river line, and don't let the mob cross the river!"

Wang Lang let out a low growl, and then quickly boarded a high watchtower near the pontoon bridge.This watchtower was originally a facility used by those in power in Xiangguo to monitor and intimidate the people in the south of the city. It is more than several feet high. There are no signs of the weirdness.

Wang Lang climbed up to the watchtower at this time, and what he saw was the mess in the south of the city, many houses collapsed, a large number of streets and alleys were congested, and there were crowds of people running everywhere, and the general direction of these people's fleeing was Xiangxiang, which he was defending now. Water defense line!
After carefully watching for a while, Wang Lang found a source of crowds. There were also a lot of people there, but they were not as chaotic as the one next to it.And in that team, there are actually some flag orders waving in the wind!
Seeing this scene, Wang Lang's face suddenly became serious.Fleeing people are not scary, even if there are more, they are just random mobs that just popped up, and they just need to be suppressed and driven away.

The reason why the imperial guards were involved in the south of the city before and could not withdraw was because Jiande Palace changed too suddenly and the imperial guards retreated too hecticly. In addition, at that critical time, the chief general Wang Lang was busy looking for political allies and was not in the army. In the middle of the team, this will happen that the team will be dispersed.

However, with the establishment and stabilization of the defense line along the river, this trend is gradually improving, and the guards who were scattered in the city are also gradually returning.

However, when the mob has an organization, these people are full of enthusiasm, restless, and the violence that has nowhere to vent is restrained and guided by the banner, and the destructive power that can erupt even exceeds that of a well-trained army!
The facts were exactly as Wang Lang expected, those assembled people followed the flag forward, unstoppable all the way, like a steel knife, they tore through many obstacles in the south of the city, and came straight to Xiangshui!

The people who gathered along the way were naturally the small group of warriors who rose from Liu's house and the tribes of the Jin people from various families in the south of the city.

They endured it from last night until the afternoon of the day. At this moment, even the most ferocious gangster, after such a long time of uproar, has gradually lost the energy to make trouble. Suppression, I am afraid that the riots in the south of the city will gradually calm down. After the people have vented their energy, they will return to the previous numb state, dragging their tired bodies, and hiding in the ruins in the south of the city.

However, now all the people on this road are flagrantly raising the banner of the King of the Jin Army, and those flag orders were made in Liu's house. Naturally, they are not the regular formation flags of the King of the Jin Army, but it is a concise and scarlet flag. The big character "Jin" was raised high and danced in the sky with the wind, like a stream of sweet spring pouring into the cracked valley, and the tired people in the south of the city became active again.

The people on this road took the dozens of fighting soldiers as the vanguard, and all the way forward, everyone who stood in the way would be killed, and those who were incompetent would be killed.And at this moment, there is no organized and large-scale mob in the south of the city, who dare to risk their lives to stop this group of king masters.

After seeing such a heroic and brave posture of Wang Shi's officers and men, the tribes who followed behind were all deeply inspired, and they all scrambled to follow behind.Even those fleeing people who were dispersed, then circled behind the team from the side and actively joined them, making the team even bigger.

"Stick to the river line and never let the mob cross the river!"

Wang Lang jumped down from the watchtower and shouted orders. He still wants to stay here poorly at this moment, but he is not showing any noble sentiments of self-sacrifice. A little power will be gone again!

However, at this moment, the soldiers of the Jie army who had been sent to meet the great monk Fotucheng hurried back and brought another bad news to Wang Lang: Fotucheng had already left the temple, and he was welcomed into Jiande Palace by some crowd. !

　Let me start with a new chapter tonight, and I will deliberate on the ending of this section of Xiangguo. . .
