The disciples were still gathering towards Prince Langya's Mansion. Wang Hui was able to arrive in time, which was of course thanks to Wang Gong's blessing.
Over there, Wang Gong just escaped from the battle and headed straight for the Langya Palace. However, Lao Wang, who was running like crazy, was stopped outside the door of the palace without even stepping through.
Who dares to stop our newly released powerful official of the Jin Dynasty, Wang Aning?
What a courage!
Of course it's Wang Hui himself.
As the saying goes, heroes see alike, and when they noticed the strange people on the street, it was not only Wang Gong, but also Wang Hui.
However, Wang Hui and Wang Gong still have different responsibilities.
He wants to command the troops, and as long as he performs well, he will most likely be able to control the situation in the city. As for Wang Gong, he really doesn't have much room to perform today.
The two exchanged opinions for a while in front of the palace gate, and then quickly divided into two groups.
Wang Hui is responsible for controlling order in the city and trying to prevent these rebels from approaching the Jiankang Palace gate, while Wang Gong obviously has more important things to do.
Who is the culprit behind the chaos in Jiankang City?
It seems that this sinner is not difficult to find, he is right in front of us.
Sima Daozi!
Sun Tai!
Apart from these two people, there is no need to make any other guesses.
Although the villagers who took to the market did not reveal their identities, the call signs they issued from time to time clearly showed who they were.
They are all disciples of Tianshi Dao!
Absolutely right!
"Brothers, be careful!"
"These are all demons from the Celestial Master's Way. They all don't care about their lives. Don't confront them head-on. Just control them!"
"control?"
"General Wang, it doesn't seem that easy!"
The men and horses brought by Wang Hui quickly entered the battle. Those under Wang Hui were much stronger than the guards of the palace.
He also became more vicious and merciless in his attacks. He established a protective circle around Wang Hui in just a few strokes.
Only then did Wang Hui have the opportunity to dismount and talk to several palace guards, who retreated to a safe area.
Wang Hui looked up and saw that this tall mansion was actually Xi Hui's residence.
At this time, Xi Hui, who had always been a fussy person and had a bad temper, finally couldn't help it anymore and walked out of the house.
"An Ning, I'll leave Sima Daozi to you. These people are demons from the Celestial Master Dao and are very dangerous."
"It is not difficult to defeat them, but it will take a lot of effort to completely subdue them. Only by catching Sun Tai can the situation calm down as soon as possible."
"I understand, leave this matter to me!" To control Sima Daozi, among other things, you must have soldiers in your hands.
On Wang Gong's side, there are currently no troops that he can directly command. After all, he has only taken over the affairs of the Jin Dynasty for a short time, and he has already spent most of his energy just sorting out all the affairs of the court.
Military affairs, due to the unique structure of the Jin Dynasty, are currently divided between the Langya Wang family and the Chenjun Xie family.
The excitement of pushing the little boy Sima Dezong to the throne was not over yet. Wang Gong also had his own plans. He did not want to offend others before the foundation was firmly established.
Therefore, he did not change the original distribution of power at all. Whoever was in charge before was still in charge now.
Therefore, the current Wang Pushe has a very high title, and he can indeed command the entire court in name.
But in fact, he didn't have many troops available for mobilization, which was one of the reasons why he discovered that there might be something wrong with Sima Daozi early on but didn't take action yet.
If you don't have a single soldier in hand, if you want to dispatch troops and generals, you don't have to rely on others. Since you have to rely on others, you can't just cause trouble casually.
There has to be real evidence to convince the big families to support him, but he didn't expect it. He just delayed it for a little while, and this happened.
Sima Daozi actually took the lead and took action without any preparation.
To say that he was unprepared was not Wang Gong's excuse for himself. Look at the quality of the people they found. They had neither martial arts skills nor discipline. At first glance, such people seemed to have been thrown together temporarily.
There isn't even a choice.
This is enough to prove that the army raised this time was completely impromptu by Sima Daozi, and he was not fully prepared at all.
"General Wang, I would like to ask you to lend me a team to control the Langya Palace."
"I infer that there should be many people of all kinds in the palace now. Without the help of soldiers, it may be difficult to control the situation."
Wang Hui said loudly: "Wang Pushe, if you want someone, just say it earlier, why bother beating around the bush."
"I have prepared it for you a long time ago. You just need to take people to the palace."
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. What do you want to do when we get to the palace?"
Behind the two of them, a discordant sound suddenly came from behind, and it came from Xi Hui.
From just now, he has been standing behind them with his hands folded. In fact, they have also seen him, but the urgent situation left them no time to deal with him.
"What do you think?" Wang Hui took the initiative to talk. In fact, he was not familiar with Xi Hui, and he also knew that this man had always had a bad temper and would get angry easily.
This time, since he took the initiative to speak, Wang Hui didn't want to miss this opportunity to communicate.
Xi Hui said seriously: "It's very simple, it's just how to deal with Sima Daozi's problem."
"Should a person like Sima Daozi be killed or locked up?"
"We can't just leave it in the palace, motionless."
"Ah...this..."
Wang Gong was stunned.
This little Hui Hui is still so daring to think and speak.
I have to say that Wang Gong is very happy to have him as a friend.
Generally speaking, Wang Gong is a person who is more considerate of the overall situation. However, many times, it is because of this consideration that his temperament is far less straightforward than Xi Hui.
Xiao Huihui always says whatever he thinks.
Even though it was such a taboo topic, he dared to speak it out loud, but judging from Wang Hui's reaction, he didn't seem to care that much.
Perhaps, this is also what he is considering.
"General Wang, what do you think?"
On key issues, Wang Gong does not want to take the blame alone.
"Of course I'll kill him!"
"At this time, why are you hesitating?"
"Aning, don't be stupid!"
"Then kill him?" Wang Gong looked at Xi Hui.
I never expected that Wang Hui had already made up his mind and did not want to leave Sima Daozi alive.
Xi Hui's eyes widened, and he waved his hand and slashed: "Of course, kill!"
"Aning, don't you dare?"
"How about I go with you?"
"No need!"
"I'll just go!"
Wang Gong's anger immediately rose.
What does this old boy mean by saying this?
Who do you look down on?
Just as he said, Wang Hui led a group of soldiers and horses and quickly gathered on the street. With the help of ponies, the soldiers had an advantage in walking through the crowd.
The location where they are now is at the intersection of Wuyi Lane and Zhuquehang. Wang Hui commanded his troops to arrive here.
If you want to prevent the rebels from rushing into Jiankang Palace, this is a very critical point.
As long as the key crossing bridges such as Zhuquehang and Dahang are preserved, everything in Jiankang Palace will basically be safe.
Of course, this task is very difficult and not easy to accomplish.
Although the focus was well grasped, the experienced Wang Hui also knew that this would be a very difficult night.
And with the limited troops in his hands, it was actually a bit difficult to deal with these insurgents.
What's more, the limited troops have to be divided into several groups for use.
Some soldiers have been assigned to Wang Gong and asked him to encircle and suppress Sima Daozi. There were hundreds of slaves in Sima Daozi's mansion.
It is not an easy task to accurately capture Sima Daozi in the palace. It requires a lot of manpower.
On the other side, there is another wave of insurgents that needs urgent attention.
Those were those who had already passed through Suzaku Airlines in advance. Although there were not many of them, their combat effectiveness was greatly increased after being re-decorated by Sima Daozi.
For the soldiers guarding the palace gate, these disciples of Tianshi Dao are not without threats.
Therefore, Wang Gong, who came to Zhuquehang, divided his troops again and ordered some soldiers to chase the villagers who had crossed the bridge.
As a result, the available troops at General Wang's disposal were quite tight.
"Bros!"
"Defend Jiankang Palace tonight!"
"Try not to harm the villagers. You can advise them to put down their weapons and go home quickly. The court will not pursue them."
“But if anyone doesn’t obey the advice, don’t be lenient!”
"yes!"
"I obey my orders!"
The morale of his subordinates was high, and Wang Hui was also very pleased.
He was also very fortunate that Wang Mi from Beifu convinced Liu Laozhi in advance and asked him to hold his troops.
It was precisely because of Liu Laozhi's move that Sima Daozi and the others were forced to raise troops in advance, and the price of their hasty actions was that the subordinates they recruited were actually low-quality soldiers and generals.
Such a team with no combat effectiveness greatly reduced the difficulty for Wang Hui and others to defend the city.
Wang Hui rode forward and joined the melee.
His actions of leading by example immediately won the favor of the soldiers.
Facing the bright steel knives polished by the soldiers, some of the villagers who kept charging towards them retreated.
"Those who know the truth, just go back on your own!"
"The court will not pursue it!"
___!
The soldiers all drew out their swords almost at the same time. The group of soldiers standing at the front were staring at the possessed villagers with threatening eyes.
"Folks!"
"We are all natives of Jiankang, and we don't want to see your blood spattered ten miles away and buried in front of the Suzaku Flight."
"Everyone, look at this bridge. We pass by this bridge every day. This is the place where we live!"
"Are you just willing to watch this city fall into war again?"
"Folks, we have only had a stable life for a few days. Isn't it good to live a good life?"
At the critical moment, Wang Hui escaped from the protection of the soldiers and stood at the front of the queue.
Learn with reason, move with emotion.
Although it may not have much effect, in the eyes of a child from an aristocratic family like Wang Hui, it is still a process that should be followed.
If you can persuade some people through reasoning and let them retreat on their own, it will greatly reduce the pressure on the defenders.
In order to show respect for the villagers, General Wang did not even ride a horse. He stood among the soldiers and shouted to the villagers from a distance of dozens of feet.
"We swear to follow Tianshi Sun to the death, and you don't need to worry about it!"
"Step aside!"
"Otherwise, we will kill people!"
No matter in any group, there will be a few fanatics, and these fanatics are the ones who like to express their wishes the most.
Many people who don't want to speak out are coerced by such people. They clearly don't want to continue making trouble, but they are infected by the passionate expressions. They don't know whether to advance or retreat, and they are not willing to change. They simply act as they are.
.
However, these people's intentions to retreat were all seen by Wang Hui.
It seems that what he said still worked.
Although these obsessed followers did not retreat from the front of Suzaku, the team did not move forward.
This shows that there is wavering in the team.
Then, Wang Hui shouted again: "This brother is right!"
He did not blame the person who started the trouble, but called him brother and responded to his provocation alone.
"You are indeed Sun Tai's disciples, there is nothing wrong with being loyal to him."
"But, for whom is what Sun Tai asked you to do for?"
"Have you ever thought about it?"
"Why did you go to Prince Langya's Mansion just now? Have you forgotten the evil behavior this man had in Jiankang City in the past?"
"Have you forgotten how he bullied you on weekdays and how he roamed the countryside?"
"Do you really want to sacrifice your life for him?"
At the critical moment, Sima Daozi's bad reputation helped Wang Hui a lot.
Wang Hui's words were spread among the crowd, and soon spread among the team.
General Wang is right!
Why do brothers want to serve a man like Sima Daozi who is so vicious and domineering?
Furthermore, now that the brothers have come out, where is he now?
According to reliable information from the brothers who were walking behind, uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com Our Highness, King Langya, had no intention of leading the team from the front from the very beginning.
The only person he sent to the palace was the Great Heavenly Master Sun Tai.
Many people saw Sun Tai walking out of the palace. This is true, but where are his people now?
Ever since the large forces set out for Suzaku Flight, no one seemed to have seen the Great Heavenly Master again.
This is very embarrassing.
Those clever villagers who have discovered this a long time ago, and whose positions are relatively superior and far away from the core of the team, have already quietly returned to their homes.
After all, Wang Hui was still a serious general with rich experience. Although his men were stationed in front of the bridge, he did not forget to pay attention to the situation at the rear of the team.
The people sent quickly sent back the news that some disciples had already withdrawn from the team and returned the same way.
After hearing this, Wang Hui nodded happily, but did not announce this exciting news to the outside world.
Although they are the same team, the situations at the front and behind are very different.
Those who can rush to the front of such a team and actively shout slogans and encourage the villagers must be active participants.
Whether these people are strong-willed or pursuing higher interests, they are difficult to shake.
A bigger weapon must be used, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy without fighting.
"Brothers were paid!"
"We will sacrifice our lives for whoever gives money. If the general has money, we can give him. As long as the price offered is higher than the king, we can also withdraw."
"that is!"
"Is this general a member of the Langya Wang family? As far as we know, the Langya Wang family is richer than the king."
"Since the general wants us to withdraw, we might as well give him money."
