Chapter Five Hundred and Six: Broken City
Chapter 506: Breaking the City
At this point, the so-called immortal has long disappeared. Xu Shenfu seemed to be ten years old. He originally wanted to take advantage of the last time to ascend the throne, and even if he dies, he will be fond of the emperor like Fang La. However, people in the city were panic these days, and it was difficult to raise it for a while.
Suddenly, when an official army envoy asked for a visit, Xu Shenfu drank a sip of tea lightly. Seeing many leaders in the hall rubbing their hands, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. Xu Shenfu knew how to see through people's hearts best, and he became gloomy and said lightly: "The official army sent people here at this time, so he must be uneasy and not pay attention to it, and send it out."
The leaders said one after another: "Immortal, why don't you listen to what he says?"
Xu Shenfu hesitated for a moment, but he could not resist them. In the past, he had a word of nothing, but when everyone said this, it could not arouse public anger. He pondered for a moment and said, "Call him in."
After a while, Li Yong led Banda in. Banda didn't even politely. He glanced in the hall lightly and said slowly: "I am here to negotiate with Lord Shen."
………………………………………
The official army camps, the camps everywhere have been silenced a lot in the past few days, and the military discipline has suddenly become tense. They summoned all the generals as usual every day, but there was nothing to order. They just asked about the situation and asked about the information they had inquired about, and they all dispersed and did not mention them.
The movements in the city were very strange. It was this strange that made Shen Ao order the Ma Junsi to prepare for entering the city at any time. Han Shizhong was quite puzzled and left them to the central army tent to ask: "Sir Shen, since he does not attack the city, why are you ready to enter the city at any time? Can you explain it and teach the humble and the lower party to give instructions."
Shen Ao smiled and said, "Just these few days, Huazhou is afraid it will be in internal strife."
"How can I see it?"
"Have you forgotten? I have called Banda into the city. My official's meaning is very clear. Those who wish to surrender live, and those who resist die."
Han Shizhong was confused: "Then why do you need to go into the city? If the Tianyi Sect really surrenders, you can just go into the city."
Shen Ao took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Xu Shenfu will not surrender. If he surrenders, life or death will not be controlled by his official duties. So if I were him, I would definitely be able to delay it for a day or a day. But when this news spread, what would the leaders of the Tianyi Sect think? They all have wives and children. They once believed in the Tianyi Sect and might have been willing to give up with Xu Shenfu. Now that they are in a situation, will they be willing to bury Xu Shenfu?"
Han Shizhong suddenly realized: "This is a technique of attacking the mind, and is it necessary to divide the bandits of the sect? At that time, those unwilling church members will inevitably feel shaken, but Xu Shenfu forced his resistance to it will inevitably make people feel resentful. As long as one of them opposes first, Huazhou will inevitably be in chaos. At that time, we will take this opportunity to enter the city and grasp the overall situation?"
Shen Ao nodded and affirmed: "That's what it means. You can hide these words for now. As soon as the time comes, you will be able to bring troops into the city."
Two more days later, there was no change in the city. Banda's pleading had already taken effect. After explaining Shen Ao's policies in front of Xu Shenfu and the leaders of the Tianyi Sect that day, Xu Shenfu was furious on the spot and wanted to push Banda out and behead him, but was persuaded by the Tianyi Sect and killed Banda, which was equivalent to a complete break with the official army. Everyone held this Huazhou and died together.
Xu Shenfu couldn't, so he had to snort coldly and teach people to take Banda. However, he also knew in his heart that only by killing Banda could everyone be willing to stick to Huazhou, so he taught a confidant to secretly kill Banda. Unfortunately, the person who was guarding Banda was Li Yong. This person was both shaken and despairing of Xu Shenfu. He knew that Banda must not die, so he deployed the place where Banda was under house arrest, and Xu Shenfu's confidant had no chance to start.
At this time, the believers led by Xu Shenfu were disunited with many leaders, and the conflict gradually expanded. Originally, Xu Shenfu promised many benefits, and some people who were confused wanted to pass the aspirations of the founding princes with speculative mentality, but at this point, they could not have the intention to share hardships with Xu Shenfu.
So when Xu Shenfu summoned everyone several times, it was noisy and made noises through various reasons. One night, a leader actually brought his people into the Shangxian Mansion to assassinate Xu Shenfu, but was taken by Xu Shenfu's guards and killed on the spot.
The city of Huazhou was already in panic. Xu Shenfu knew that he could not control the situation, so he could only turn a blind eye. Finally, on August 24th, the city suddenly became popular, and a rebellion for life officially began. The city was full of chaos, some attacked Shangxian Mansion, and some wanted to sank the rebellion. The streets were full of people, and no one could tell whether the other party was still a determined believer or a rebellious army. After a while, he gradually sorted out his clues.
The stronghold of the rebellion was in Beicheng. The main garrison in Beicheng was the Yuanxiang Army on Jingji North Road. These people were ensnared by Shangguan and merged into the Tianyi Sect. Now that the situation is over, they are the first to abandon the Tianyi Sect. These people were originally organized. Once they attacked, they opened the gate of Beicheng and took the Shangxian Mansion directly.
Just as the fierce battle in Huazhou was in full swing, the government troops outside the city immediately took action. The tide of horse army officers came to the city in an instant, and the heavy military boots sounded loudly, and no grass grew wherever they passed.
First, the north gate fell, then the east gate, west gate, and the government army attacked three times. In addition to the rebellious Tianyi Sect, the sect bandits who resisted were compressed into the city. These people seemed very frenzied. Although they were surrounded by enemies, they suddenly relied on the houses to resist. The government army gradually squeezed them to the Shangxian Mansion. The mansion occupied a considerable area and was filled with thousands of sect bandits. They poked their heads out of the house and shot with bows and arrows.
The tide of the government generals surrounded the place, and had set up barricades, bows and arrows, and even artillery. At this time, Shen Ao drove a team of personal guards over, but no one of the generals came down and saluted Shen Ao one after another.
Shen Ao asked lightly: "How is it? When will I take it down?"
A commander of the wing army rushed to answer: "It is easy to take it down, but it is no problem to invade before dawn. I am afraid of heavy damage..."
Shen Ao's face was plain: "Since it is severely damaged, there is no need to attack. Recently, the sky is dry and the things are dry, so let's play with it. Then Xu Shenfu wants to ascend to the immortal world, set fire and send him back to the west."
The turbulent oil on the official army was enough. After receiving the order, someone immediately carried a bucket of turbulent oil and poured it everywhere under the cover of a large shield. Bales of firewood were transported, which seemed orderly. The bandits in the mansion guessed the thoughts of the official army and launched the arrows even more urgently. Unfortunately, they could penetrate the half-meter-high shield, which was not only injuring a person's calves, but also had no choice but to do anything.
In the Sanqing Hall, Xu Shenfu fell into despair. One by one, the believers came to report. He just shook his hands angrily: "Go out, go out, I will ascend the throne."
All kinds of equipment were prepared. He put on the crown suit that had been prepared and the sky crown. He sat high in the Sanqing Hall case, intending to perform the last farce. Everyone in the hall looked at each other, but no one dared to dissuade him, so he had to bow down and shouted long live, when a fire broke out, and the turbid oil burned in the outer periphery of Shangxian Mansion with the firewood. The fire rose high, and the sky was red, and the wind continued to approach the mansion.
"Not good, it's a fire, the immortal..." Someone shouted.
Xu Shenfu's eyes were even more desperate, but he scolded: "What's the name? I was ordered by heaven, and I am the emperor. I will be blessed by the Emperor of Heaven. You...you... hurry up, worship quickly."
At this time, no one was worshiping me. They rushed out one by one and fled to their own lives. Xu Shenfu laughed loudly, holding the back skirt of the crown garment in Sanqing Hall, and laughed to the sky: "I was ordered by heaven, who dared to hurt me? Who dared to hurt me?"
The fire had spread to Sanqing Hall. Xu Shenfu was almost fainting when the smoke suffocated. He tried hard to support the pillar, and the fire had already reddened his face...
Boom, the burned beams turned into charcoal and lost their center of gravity. The entire Sanqing Hall collapsed and buried Xu Shenfu in the tiles.
The layers of official troops outside the mansion saw this scene and took the bandits who escaped from the mansion one by one, and prepared to put out the fire in an orderly manner.
The rolling smoke fell into Shen Ao's eyes, and Chen Ao's expression was only indifferent. He thrust his horse and sighed: "It's a pity that a good house."
At this time, the Wu father and son and Banda came over under the guard of a group of people. The three of them obviously did not suffer much. They were dressed neatly and bowed to Chen Ao with their usual expressions: "Sir."
Chen Ao looked at them and smiled slightly: "You have made great contributions this time, thank you Lord Wu for your hard work."
Wu Wencai smiled and said, "It is always the best way to work hard, but the credit is a shame."
Chen Ao just smiled and shouted: "Each department will obey the orders and deal with the aftermath. The Military and Justice Department leads teams to patrol the city. If there are looting, there will be no mercy to kill them!"
"Abide by the order!"
The dawn gradually revealed dawn. From the internal strife in the city to the entry of the government army, and then to the overall situation, it was decided. In just two hours, the chaos came and went quickly. Soon, Huazhou settled down. Teams of lieutenants with red scarves wrapped around their arms led people to patrol the city, suppressing the chaos everywhere.
No one had ever thought that the hustle and bustling chaos of the Tianyi Sect had ended in this way. After fighting for so long, many people had not yet recovered and realized that the former enemy had disappeared, and with Xu Shenfu buried in the sea of fire, he disappeared.
An unmanned wealthy business house has now become Chen Ao's temporary headquarters. Sitting in this well-organized study, Chen Ao dipped in ink, unfolded a blank memorial and wrote: "I have received the kindness of the country, but I dared not repay the country with all my heart, and brought the troops to surround Huazhou to defeat it. At this point, Tianyi Sect cleanses the peace..."
"Send this memorial together with the good news, don't delay!"
