The Most Powerful Man in the World

In addition, the guards who arranged the patrol were reluctant, and many night guards even sneaked away to find a place to sleep beautifully.

It's only been over an hour, and the number of night guards that originally consisted of thousands of people has been reduced by more than one-third.

In the dead of night, the entire camp was quiet.

Around the tent where Li Zhen was, there were more than a dozen guards guarding the surrounding area, but it was not very noticeable. Many of these dozen guards were confused and sleepy.

In their opinion, in the camp, there is no safer place than this place. As for Li Zhen's safety, if someone can sneak into the camp, if nothing else, they must find Li Zhen first. This is where Zhen rests.

When Yue Buqun came out of his tent, he looked around, but after a few breaths, Yue Buqun had a general understanding of the state of the guards guarding Li Zhen's tent.

Originally, Yue Buqun's identity in the army was a member of the personal guard battalion, and he didn't even need to spend much effort. Yue Buqun knew the situation of the personal guards arranged by Li Zhen for the night vigil.

In addition to the two or three of the ten guards, they were devoted to their duties. As for the others, some people even simply put their spears on the ground and took a nap with the spears in their hands.

Glancing around, Yue Buqun showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. After judging the time, Yue Buqun was not in a hurry to sneak into Li Zhen's tent.

Yue Buqun couldn't help but turn his eyes to the direction where the grains were stored in the camp, and he was a little worried about whether Zheng Baihu and the others could set fire on time to save the grains.

Once the grain fodder is set on fire, the rebel camp must be in chaos, and if he succeeds in assassinating Li Zhen, there will be no leader and the camp fire will keep the rebels in chaos.

The two of Zheng Baihu had already lurked near the grain fodder. It seemed that it was because they were backed by Nanjing City. Although they brought the two or three days' worth of fodder for the army when they said the city, the entire army had almost disappeared from Li Zhen down. No one takes the safety of these grains to heart.

They don't have to worry about the problem of food supply at all. After all, Nanjing City is behind it. There is so much food and grass, so they don't have to fight like marching. The most important thing is the safety of food and grass.

It is precisely because of this that the army has almost no protection for the grain and fodder. If I really want to say, it is to send a team of a thousand people to be responsible for the safety of the army's grain fodder.

And such a thousand-person team didn't take the safety of the food into their hearts at all. Right now, these people are all sleeping soundly in the big tent, but it is convenient for Zheng Baihu and the others.

The two spent a lot of effort to collect dozens of kilograms of kerosene. They saw the two quietly sneak into the piles of grain, one was responsible for checking the surrounding movement, and the other was responsible for sprinkling the kerosene in several places. on the largest haystack.

Zheng Baihu judged the time, took a deep breath, and nodded to the other person. The two spread out, and each took out fire shards and lit several places of food and grass.

Soon dozens of grain and hay piles were set on fire.

Because there was no awareness of fire prevention at all, when some soldiers saw the fire and shouted, Zheng Baihu and the two had even ignited most of the grain and hay piles, and the fire of the grain and hay piles that were ignited first had already gotten bigger.

Of course, if there is a team of soldiers who are prepared to rush to put out the fire at this time, it is possible to put out the fire.

"It's on fire, it's on fire!"

All the soldiers reacted, but they were at a loss. Seeing that the fire was raging, there was no way to go forward to put out the fire.

A little bit of time passed, and all of a sudden, a spark of light flashed in the distance, but it was just a dozen breaths.

When Yue Buqun saw this situation, he didn't know that Zheng Baihu and the others had already started. He vaguely heard shouts from a distance. Yue Buqun jumped up and rushed towards Li Zhensuoye like a phantom. Tent for accommodation.

Several personal guards seemed to be alarmed by the shouts in the distance, and their spirits were shocked. The next moment, a figure flashed into the big tent.

"No, there are assassins..."

A scream sounded, and all the soldiers around were alarmed. Even Li Zhen, who was resting in the tent, frowned in confusion, turned over and cursed in a confused manner: "You bastard, disturbing the general Qing. Dream……"

Yue Buqun just heard Li Zhen's muttering. The next moment, the long sword in his hand slid across Li Zhen's neck. In his sleep, Li Zhen only felt a pain in his neck, and then he lost his intuition.

Holding Li Zhen's head, Yue Buqun turned around, and just two guards rushed into the tent. They saw Li Zhen's head kicked by Yue Buqun at a glance. The two guards were dumbfounded. .

Li Zhen was actually cut off her head.

Two streaks of blood flashed, Yue Buqun cut down the two guards neatly and shouted, "No, the general is dead, the general is dead..."

Tens of thousands of rebels gathered in one place. It can be said that a fire suddenly broke out in the camp at this moment. Coupled with Yue Buqun carrying Li Zhen's head and running around in the camp to shout the news that Li Zhen was killed, the entire camp was in chaos. .

"It's not good, the army of the imperial court is killing you, everyone run away..."

"Run, the general was killed..."

There was fire in the rebel camp, and Chu Yi had already made preparations, just waiting for Yue Buqun to do it.

When he saw the fire in the rebel camp, Chu Yi, who was standing on the observation deck wearing a cloak, showed a smile.

"Sun Qiu, Xu Tianzuo, the rebel camp is in chaos, and the enemy will be defeated only tonight!"

Sun Qiu and Xu Tianzuo, who were already ready to go, were shocked when they heard the command, their eyes flashed brightly, they shouted in unison, and immediately led the army to the rebel camp in front.

For a few miles, when the army completely ran away, it was just a cup of tea, and at this moment, the chaos in the rebel camp reached its peak.

Many stupefied and still sleeping rebels were awakened by the soldiers who were running around, and then, wrapped in the atmosphere of panic, they also joined the escaping team.

Even if there were generals who stood up and tried to stabilize the situation at this time, it would not be possible for a while. The most important thing was that the news of Li Zhen's murder had already spread.

Naturally, these generals were in a panic. How could they still think about stabilizing the army, only when the imperial army had already killed them.

The rabble is the rabble, and before the army can kill them, they become a mess.

But if you think about it, this is also very normal. You must know that in this era, the night camp of the army, any generals with a little knowledge will be very strict.

Sometimes a random movement may cause a roar. Even the elite soldiers will lose their ability to judge in the dark. Driven by the instinct of human beings, chaos is normal.

These rebels were originally a rabble, and it is not surprising that the chaos is now.

The ground shook, and hundreds of cavalrymen led by tens of thousands of troops rushed straight to the chaotic camp.

Just when there was chaos outside the city and the imperial army wanted to hunt down the rebels, it was naturally impossible to hide such a big movement from the people in Nanjing.

The defenders on Nanjing City looked at the chaotic large army barracks in the distance from a distance, but no one dared to give orders lightly.

Marching at night is something that only an elite army can do. These generals under King Ning are not fools. How can they not know what they are.

At this time, if he opened the city gate and went out to rescue Li Zhen, it was not to mention whether he could save Li Zhen.

Besides, they can't even guarantee how many soldiers and horses they will bring out, and how many people can really follow them to the battlefield. A large number of soldiers will slip away along the way.

The generals defending the city indifferently looked at the chaos below, and watched helplessly as the imperial army chased and killed their own troops.

King Ning, who was resting in the imperial city, had just fallen asleep under the service of Xinna's concubine, when suddenly there was the sound of rapid footsteps.

He heard Wan Rui's voice ringing in the empty bedroom: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is an emergency military situation!"

In a daze, King Ning couldn't help being shocked when he heard the urgent military situation, and suddenly sat up, the thin quilt slipped off, and a beautiful woman screamed and subconsciously screamed, hugging her chest and shrinking.

King Ning turned over and put on his coat, lifted the curtain and lowered the dragon bed to look at Wan Rui and said solemnly, "Wan Rui, what is the military situation? Could it be that the general killed Chu Yi?"

Wan Rui coughed lightly and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the generals who defended the city just sent someone to report. There was a melee outside the city. It seems that the imperial army attacked the general's barracks at night.

King Ning frowned and snorted coldly: "What a good Chu Yi, he has only [-] people, and he dares to be so arrogant. I don't believe that he can defeat our army of [-]!"

While speaking, King Ning said to Wan Rui: "Go on and send someone to investigate the movements of the two armies outside the city. I want to know the results of the battle as soon as possible!"

Wan Rui nodded, bowed to King Ning, and left the palace with orders.

The rebel camp outside the city can be said to be in chaos, especially when the imperial army entered the camp, which accelerated the collapse of these rebels.

As the cry of surrender and not killing sounded, the rebels who were running around like headless flies, like drowning people caught a life-saving straw, honestly knelt on the ground and dropped their weapons.

In the middle of the night, generals such as Sun Qiu and Xu Tianzuo were leading their troops to gather and surrender. Only a few thousand rebels were actually killed, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers who fled in the dark. In the end, there were more than [-] surrendered troops gathered up.

When the first ray of sunlight fell on the day, the place where the rebel camp was originally was turned into a piece of ruins. After a night of chaos, it was impossible to see that there was still a large camp under the fire. appearance.

Tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers were driven into a large camp that was built overnight. This was tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers, and even Chu Yi did not dare to whisper.He even sent [-] troops to watch the escort, otherwise, once tens of thousands of troops descended into turmoil, it would be no small trouble.

Before the army entered the Qilin Gate of Nanjing City, although it was said that it was still some distance away from the Nanjing city wall, standing on the city wall at this moment was able to see the lineup of the imperial army.

After a night of slaughter, these strong and strong people were strictly selected. After one or two years of training, after seeing blood this time, they became a little more elite.

Although it is still not considered elite, but compared with King Ning's rebel army, it is Daming's millions of guard troops, but it is too much stronger.

The generals who were instructed to investigate the outcome of the battle outside the city were horrified when they saw the scene outside the city.

That was an army of [-] people, led by the general himself out of the city to meet the army of the imperial court.

They even remembered the scene when the army left the city. There were [-] troops in total darkness, and the momentum was astonishing.

But it's only been a day, it's like a dream, in a blink of an eye, the [-] army was so defeated.

Even [-] pigs would have to be slaughtered overnight, but now they only see tens of thousands of soldiers being honestly imprisoned in a large camp.

In a palace, there was only a bang, and a delicate teacup was slammed to the ground by King Ning, and the splashed fragments swept across the face of a general who was kneeling on the ground, and a smear of blood immediately oozes out.

"You bastard, what a waste, how could I believe Li Zhen, this waste, a [-]-strong army, a full [-] army, he is so good, he lost to me overnight, and I want to kill him... …”

A general kneeling on the ground whispered: "Your Majesty, the general, the general's head is hanging on the flagpole outside the city..."

[The first one is sent, um, in the last hour, take a look at your monthly pass, it will be invalid! 】

Chapter 2 Ask the supervisor to give Huashan a chance! 【[-] more】

King Ning almost fainted from anger when he heard the words, and then grabbed a teacup and smashed it at the general.

"Then I will punish his nine clans..."

With a light cough, Liu Yangzheng said to King Ning, "Your Majesty, calm your anger, your Majesty, it's not worth it to hurt the dragon body for Li Zhen!"

I don't know who whispered softly: "Li Zhen's relatives are all in Nanchang City, and they have fallen into the hands of Wang Shouren..."

Prince Ning shook his body, took a deep breath, swept over the officials with a fierce look, and shouted, "Who can tell me, what should I do?"

Liu Yangzheng and Li Shishi looked at each other, only to hear Liu Yangzheng say: "Your Majesty, although Li Zhen is defeated, but we still have a hundred thousand troops in hand, with only Chu Yi's troops, it is impossible to break the city of Nanjing. Your Majesty only needs to issue an edict to order the dignitaries and gentry around Nanjing to recruit volunteers to fight against the army of eunuchs, and the siege of Nanjing will be relieved!"

A civil official's expression changed when he heard the words, and he immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this strategy seems to solve the urgent need, but it is an endless disaster!"

Another civil servant said: "Your Majesty, don't forget where the separatists of the Eastern Han Dynasty came from!"

King Ning is not a fool. Once he gives those local tyrants and gentry the right to recruit troops, it is very likely that he will become a big tail.

Taking a deep breath, Ning Wang's eyes flashed with madness and said: "Pass on my will, let the local tycoons and dignitaries recruit troops and horses to fight against the eunuchs."

"Your Majesty..."

When several officials heard the words, they fell to the ground and burst into tears like a concubine.

With a look of impatience on his face, King Ning waved his sleeves and said, "My intentions are gone, the ministers don't need to persuade them any more!"

He also has no other way, if he has other ways, how could he use this method that is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.

Don't look at the army of [-] people in Nanjing, but King Ning himself knows that there are not even [-] troops that can be battled.

Once Nanjing City is breached, then everything will be over. In this case, why not give it a shot, even if it is possible to make those tyrants form a big invincible trend.

The counties around Nanjing were naturally recruited by King Ning's men, at least nominally they belonged to the New Dynasty, and even most of Jiangxi was in the hands of King Ning's men.

King Ning's will spread all over the Jiangnan land at the fastest speed, and it exploded like a thunderbolt. I don't know how many people were horrified, and some ambitious people were surprised.

In the large military tent of the imperial court outside the city, Chu Yi blocked the Guo Qilin Gate outside Nanjing, but he was not in a hurry to attack the city. reinforcements coming.

In the big tent, a Jin Yiwei hurriedly knelt down and said, "Reporting to the Chief, there is urgent news in Nanjing!"

A little eunuch stepped forward and took the letter and presented it to Chu Yi.
