"Da da da..."

Three thousand dragon cavalry galloped towards Fudao, entered the Forbidden Gate, passed through the Ximing Gate, and gradually began to fight with the You Shenwu Army. Xu Zongwen repeatedly asked not to let anyone go, and to ensure the safety of the Jin Emperor.

Zhang Songzhi, holding a sword in his armor, took the lead and shouted: "Soldiers! Guard your majesty and kill the thieves!" Then he galloped on his horse and rushed into the right Shenwu army formation. He rushed left and right, killing blood wherever he went.

Oars, dead and wounded everywhere!

"I didn't expect that General Zhang is also a tiger general!" Xu Zongwen methodically directed the left and right Lin Guards who came to Ximing Gate to slowly support the imperial guards. He accidentally saw Zhang Songzhi's high spirits and killing enemies in full swing, and couldn't help but praise him.

One sentence.

Pang Bai explained from the side: "The Zhang brothers are both civilized and martial. General Zhang has loved armed weapons since he was a child and is a good swordsman. If he didn't have real ability, the Taifu would not promote him repeatedly just for his brother's sake...

…“

Zhang Si was recovering from his injuries in the mansion, and Zhang San was ordered to take the troops of Huan Mansion to the East China Sea to rescue Huan Xianrong. At this time, only Pang Bai was left on Xu Zongwen's left and right.

Xu Zongwen nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time, he held the knife tightly and moved forward quickly with the ten wolf guards.

Zuo Yulin Wei Gong Cao Tanzhi and Zuo Shenwu Army deputy commander Zhao Lunzhi stepped forward from behind Xu Zongwen. They bowed towards Xu Zongwen and said in unison: "I have seen the general who conquered the north!"

Xu Zongwen was also the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, so there was nothing wrong with the two calling themselves subordinates.

Xu Zongwen turned sideways, and the two of them began to introduce themselves.

"You two are here just in time. Let's immediately check the surroundings of Chongxun Palace to see if there are any secret passages to prevent Wang Chen from kidnapping His Majesty and escaping from the palace." Xu Zongwen stretched out his hand, indicating that they could go and investigate.

Zhao Lunzhi and Tan Zhuan accepted the promise and immediately led their men to inspect...

Soon, the Long Xiang Army and the Zuo and You Yu Lin Guards surrounded the Right Shenwu Army. Gradually, because of their weakness, the Right Shenwu Army began to fall into a passive position under the suppression of the Forbidden Army that was three times their size, and had already moved towards Chongxun.

The inner palace reduced its troops, and the outside of the main hall was occupied by the imperial troops pressing forward step by step.

"General Zhang, don't hesitate, just go in. As long as you can't see His Majesty, no one involved in the conspiracy will be let go!" Zhang Song dismounted and led his people to block the gate of Chongxun Palace. Xu Zongwen ordered loudly from behind.

Zhang Songzhi nodded solemnly, and immediately ordered Long Xiang's army to dismount and attack Chongxun Palace, hoping to use the numerical advantage to gradually eliminate the rebels who had lost more than half.

Xu Zongwen paid close attention to the developments ahead and was highly concentrated. At this time, there was a huge conspiracy hidden in his heart.

If Wang Chen could be made to kill Jin Emperor Sima Changming by mistake... In fact, this is not difficult to do. As long as the Jin Emperor dies in the rebellion, the blame can be pinned on Wang Chen and the rebels.

When Emperor Jin dies, the only successor to the throne will be the three-year-old emperor's eldest son, Langya King Sima Dezong. At that time, he will be able to rely on his previous military exploits in the Northern Expedition and this time's contribution to suppressing the rebellion, and even seeking to seize the throne.

It is not impossible to obtain political qualifications!

This bold idea made Xu Zongwen's heart beat violently, and even the blood flowing in his body began to ignite and boil instantly!

It turns out that power can really make people addicted!

If this is true, Xu Zongwen will definitely not miss this opportunity!

You know, in order to deal with Sima Daozi, the king of Kuaiji, the imperial court has not had time to quell the rebellion of Sun En Tianshi Dao in Wu County. The land of Sanwu is probably already in flames of war, and the people are in dire straits!

Once the Emperor of Jin and King Sima Daozi of Kuaiji died, the turmoil would end earlier, and the Jin court would be free to deal with Sun En of Wu Commandery. Then they could rest and recuperate for a few years, and then take advantage of the Northern Expedition to launch troops to the Northern Expedition while the barbarians were attacking each other, and regain the lost territory.

It’s not just talk on paper!

Drive out the barbarians and restore China. Han and barbarians are not at odds with each other, and the king's industry is not in peace. The word "Northern Expedition" has almost become Xu Zongwen's obsession.

The millet is separated, the ears of the grain are moving forward and backward, and the center is like drunkenness.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have been very sentimental about their old capital, and they have a strong sigh for the impermanence of the ruins of the previous dynasties, which symbolized the rise and fall of the past dynasty. Especially the Pian'an Dynasty had a different kind of sentiment towards the old capital.

Therefore, since the Eastern Jin Dynasty moved to Jiangzuo, several Northern Expeditions were launched.

In the third year of Emperor Longxing of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 320), General Fenwei and the governor of Yuzhou launched the Northern Expedition.

In the fifth year of Emperor Cheng's reign in Xiankang (339 AD), General Yu Liang, the governor of Jiang, Jing, and Henan prefectures, went on a northern expedition to the west.

In the first year of Emperor Cheng's founding (343), General Anxi and Governor of Jingzhou launched the Northern Expedition to Hebei Province.

In AD 349, the fifth year of Emperor Mu's Yonghe reign, he campaigned against the great general in the north and the governor-general Chu Pei in his Northern Expedition.

In the ninth year of Yonghe (AD 353), Yin Hao, the general of the Chinese army and the commander-in-chief of the five states of Yu, Xu, Yanqing, led the Northern Expedition.

In the 10th year of Yonghe (AD 354), the general who conquered the west and the commander-in-chief of all the armies in the eight states was engaged in the Northern Expedition of Huan Wen.

In the twelfth year of Yonghe (AD 356), Huan Wen, the commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief, and the military commanders in the two states of Hebei were responsible for another northern expedition.

In the fourth year of the deposed Emperor Taihe (AD 359), Yangzhou was pastoral and recorded as a minister in charge of Huan Wen's Northern Expedition.

From the end of the eighth year of Taiyuan to the ninth year of Taiyuan (383-384 AD), Emperor Sima Changming of Jin Dynasty, when Emperor Xiaowu of Jin Dynasty Sima Yao was on the throne, Xie An made a Northern Expedition.

So far, the Jin Dynasty has made a total of nine Northern Expeditions, but the first eight went out to recover Yuzhou and parts of Yanzhou, and Huan Wen once attacked Xishu and regained Luoyang. The remaining Northern Expeditions were just a waste of food and wages and increased the burden on the people.

Only during the Taiyuan Northern Expedition, Xu Zongwen, Xie Xuan, and Huan Shiqian recovered the most cities and homelands in history. Among them, Xu Zongwen alone recovered most of Xuzhou, planned to seize Qingzhou, break Yanzhou, and lower Luoyang, forcing Murong Chui to secede

Dunqiu, the eleventh city of Jijun, has the most abundant gains and the most extensive territory since the nine Northern Expeditions!

However, these are not enough!

What Xu Zongwen wants is unification in the true sense!

If you want to achieve unification, you need power. Staying in Jiankang is just to seize power. With power, you can carry out the Northern Expedition without constraints and worries!

"General Zhang, we must ensure your majesty's safety! We must not let the traitors hurt your majesty at all..." Xu Zongwen shouted at the top of his lungs, but Zhang Songzhi had already disappeared. He led the front army into Chongxun Palace.

!

What you think is one thing, but what you should do is another.

Xu Zongwen tried his best to hide himself, and some of what he said did not mean it, but he was forced by the current situation and had no choice but to do so.

In the Chongxun Palace, the Longxiang Army led by Zhang Songzhi was overwhelming and was killing all directions. For some reason, Wang Chen disappeared. The You Shenwu Army who had lost their command began to surrender on their own initiative. After a while, several hundred You Shenwu Army were seen to have gone.

He laid down his arms and surrendered.

"That's weird, where did Wang Chen, the traitor, go?"

Zhang Songzhi was puzzled and asked around. At this time, a sergeant rushed over and reported: "Back to the general, I found a secret room in the side hall..."

"Okay!" Zhang Songzhi was overjoyed and finally found Wang Chen's escape. Now let's see how Wang Chen runs away!

"Everyone who comes, please go to the side hall!" Zhang Songzhi waved his hand, and the nearby Longxiang Army was summoned. They immediately followed Zhang Songzhi into the side hall. A group of people began to move the screen and crawl into the secret passage...
