Chapter 520 Tianjing Mystery

[PS: Today is really unlucky, I lost my phone when I went out. I went to look for my phone, but I couldn’t find it, and I lost my wallet. It was a mess, and I didn’t care to type. 】

November 2, Xunzhou County, Tianjing City.

The majestic Tianjing City, like a giant dragon, is entrenched in the center of the southern Sichuan land, showing the ambition and ambition of the king of heaven, Hong Xiuquan.

After nearly a year of painstaking efforts, the total population of Tianjing City has exceeded the 500,000 mark, which is comparable to the first-level county town in the player's territory.

When Ouyang Shuo was meeting the civil servants, Yang Xiuqing led the remnants and finally arrived outside Tianjing.

Long before Yang Xiuqing's arrival, the news that the South Route Army was wiped out in Mulan Fort had already spread in Tianjing City. The huge city suddenly became solemn.

The civil and military ministers of the kingdom of heaven could not imagine how the 200,000 elite army was defeated overnight. The huge blow left the entire imperial court breathless.

The fate of the kingdom of heaven seemed to be in jeopardy at once.

It is reported that on the day when he got the news, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan threw his teacup directly at the court meeting, and then walked away, leaving all the ministers to hang in the court hall, with an embarrassed look on his face.

On the same day, in the palace, a concubine accidentally mentioned Mulan Fortress before Hong Xiuquan because she slipped her mouth. She was immediately dragged out of the palace and sentenced to death.

This situation is really chilling.

The entire Tianjing City was shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere.

The bustling city of Tianjing suddenly became deserted.

On the city wall, teams of sergeants patrolled back and forth, with sharp eyes and dignified expressions. Everyone knows that once the South Route Army is defeated, the entire Xunzhou County will be exposed to the enemy.

The rain is about to come, and the wind is full of the building.

Therefore, when Yang Xiuqing led his troops to arrive at the gate of the city, one could imagine what kind of eyes they would see, whether it was the soldiers guarding the city or the people around them.

Surprise, contempt, anger, curiosity, etc., and so on.

Seeing this, Yang Xiuqing looked calm.

Only the more than 3,000 soldiers he brought with him were ashamed to face such naked gazes.

A defeated army, how dare to speak bravely?

A feeling of shame welled up spontaneously.

Every soldier wished he could cover his face with his helmet, so that he could face the people in the city shamelessly.

The soldiers in charge of guarding the city did not dare to stop Yang Xiuqing and his party. It's just a guard, when he saw Yang Xiuqing and the others, he immediately ran away, looking where he was going, it was the Tianwang Palace in the city.

Yang Xiuqing remained expressionless, leading three thousand soldiers, walked through the city gate calmly, and walked straight to the military camp in the city. Those who didn't know, thought that the big defeat not long ago had never happened at all.

The spies of the Black Snake Guards placed beside Yang Xiuqing couldn't help nodding when they saw Yang Xiuqing behave like this.

Yang Xiuqing is indeed extraordinary.

Just relying on this skill of nourishing qi, few people can match it.

Everyone knew that Yang Xiuqing, as the general of the whole army, couldn't absolve himself of the blame for this big defeat.

The Wrath of the Heavenly King is so bloody and brutal.

Almost every day, there are people who are reprimanded or punished by the king of heaven, or ministers who speak out, or concubines who serve him, or guards who neglect their duties.

The annihilation of the South Route Army seemed to burst out the negative emotions that Hong Xiuquan had been hiding all along. The whole person suddenly became furious, and no one was pleasing to the eye.

A huge sense of frustration suppressed Hong Xiuquan's head, making him want to go crazy.

As long as he thinks that the great cause he has worked so hard to plan may be ruined alive because of this defeat, Hong Xiuquan can't wait to swallow Yang Xiuqing alive.

As the saying goes, if the sky wants it to die, it will make it crazy. At this moment, Hong Xiuquan was on the verge of madness.

Under such circumstances, Yang Xiuqing's fate seemed to be predictable. Being able to leave a whole body is probably the best ending.

Not only Yang Xiuqing, but her family members are also afraid that they will be massacred.

The scene of history is afraid to be staged again.

However, Yang Xiuqing neither chose to surrender to Shanhai City, nor did he choose to lead his troops to flee into the mountains, but rushed back to Tianjing City unswervingly all the way.

All of this is really incomprehensible.

In fact, as early as two days ago, Hong Xiuquan learned of the whereabouts of Yang Xiuqing and his party through his secret intelligence network.

Therefore, to be honest, Hong Xiuquan couldn't see through Yang Xiuqing's confidence.

Tianjing City, which was once deserted, became undercurrents because of Yang Xiuqing's return.

The strange thing is that on this day, neither Hong Xiuquan nor Yang Xiuqing made any unnecessary moves. Yang Xiuqing entered the barracks safely, but Hong Xiuquan did not summon him.

Everything seems to be calm.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is just the calm before the storm.

It is reported that when Yang Xiuqing arrived at the barracks, he arranged for a confidant guard to rush to the Tianwang Palace and send a confidential letter to the Tianwang Hong Xiuquan.

It was this secret letter that temporarily saved Yang Xiuqing's life.

Except for the person involved, no one knew what the secret letter said, which could make the murderous Hong Xiuquan endure.

Just like this, the undercurrent in the city is surging more and more.

Especially under the agitation of the Military Intelligence Department and the Black Snake Guard, the entire Tianjing City has completely turned into a puddle of muddy water.

The forces of all parties are inquiring about each other.

Anyone with a little bit of power tried to see through the thick fog to see clearly the direction of the political situation in the kingdom of heaven.

Unfortunately, this is destined to be just an extravagant wish.

Because Shanhai City, which had been planning for a long time, finally revealed its sharp minions.

***********

On the afternoon of November 2nd, Chiyou City.

Hundreds of civil servants who were secretly imprisoned by Chi You, after being received by Ouyang Shuo, took their families and set off for Shanhai City to resettle.

Among the civil servants, only one remained, and that was Pei Ju. Because according to Ouyang Shuo's arrangement, Pei Ju will follow him and go to Xunzhou County together.

Pei Ju, capable of both literature and martial arts, is really a rare and important minister.

Therefore, in this quiet afternoon, Ouyang Shuo met Pei Ju alone in the study. For the first time, the monarch and his ministers opened their hearts and spoke freely.

Ouyang Shuo knew that he had to use his great cause to rekindle the pride in Pei Jun's heart.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo not only told Pei Ju about the plan to destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but also told Pei Ju about his plans for the next year.

After listening to Ouyang Shuo's grand blueprint, Pei Ju couldn't help being fascinated. If Ouyang Shuo's blueprint can be realized, how can his great achievements be inferior to Han and Tang Dynasties? !

It only took an hour for Ouyang Shuo to convince Pei Ju and get his approval.

Pei Ju could only smile wryly at this.

This expedition with the army is to give Pei Ju a chance to experience the Shanhai City army at close range.

On November 3rd, Ouyang Shuo led his troops to leave Chiyou City. The accompanying army included 3,000 Shenwu Guards, Imperial Guard Divisions, and three Shanman Independent Divisions.

Only the Shanman Independent Fourth Division, which is the division prepared for the Iron Armored Beast Division, is temporarily stationed in Chiyou City and is responsible for the regional security work before the formation of the Wuzhou County Security Division.

This time, Ouyang Shuo will lead his troops from Chiyou City, advance all the way to the northwest, go straight to the junction of Guilin County and Xunzhou County, and completely block Hong Xiuquan's way to the north.

The next day, the Longxiang Army and the Baotao Army also divided their troops into two groups and formally attacked Xunzhou County.

The campaign to encircle and suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has officially begun!
