Chapter 3833
The army shouted, and the torches lit up the night sky.

The north gate of the city was opened, and Li Congjun's army immediately left the city, advancing thirty li, and occupying various defensive positions.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses of the three routes went in three directions.

The army of Jiedu envoys from all walks of life was hesitating whether to raise troops. Li Congji's army came galloping, and he wanted to kill the imperial army guarding the army.

The leading general raised his arms to the various envoys, "If you don't leave today, when will you stay?"

The Jiedu envoys from all walks of life had no way out and could only respond accordingly.

Nearly a million troops headed north of the city one after another.

The spies of the Imperial Army were shocked and hurried back to report to Gao Qiu.

Gao Lian was exchanging gold and silver from merchants in the mansion. He asked his men to cash in all the looted grain and grass, and piled up hundreds of large boxes in the inner hall of the mansion, all of which were gold coins.

The spies were anxious to see him outside, but a close-fitting housekeeper came in and hurriedly reported to Gao Qiu, "Taiwei, something serious happened. The spies came back and reported that they were committed by Jiedu."

"what?"

Gao Qiu was stunned, and shouted in panic, "How dare they do this? Where are the spies?"

"outside!"

The butler hastily entertained him out and met the spies outside.

The spies hurriedly reported, "Report to the Taiwei, Jiedu envoys have rebelled. They gathered at the north gate, and now they are all fleeing to the north gate. Please hurry up and lead people to stop them!"

"This, this, what are they going to do?"

Various thoughts flashed through Gao Qiu's mind.

It was thought that these large troops were going to join the rebel army outside the city, but judging from the defense of the rebel army, they did not garrison in the north of the city.

"Wai San Que Yi, do they want to escape through the north gate? But where can they escape?"

Gao Qiu's mind changed sharply, and he hurriedly asked someone to prepare a car, and went to the camp to meet Tong Guan.

In Tong Guan's study room, someone has already gone to report that all important figures from civil and military officials have come here.

After Gao Lian arrived, the atmosphere in the study was silent.

Tong Guan's complexion was gloomy, and he asked Gao Qiu, "How are things going?"

Gao Qiu hurriedly reported, "The armies from all walks of life are heading towards the north gate, and it seems that someone is outside to meet them. My subordinates guessed that they should have escaped from the city, not to join the rebel army. The rebel army deployed defenses in all directions, only other There is no defense in the north of the city."

Tong Guan said in a muffled voice, "There is no point arguing about this now. Once these rebels leave, the city's defenses will be empty. Tomorrow, no matter what, they will not be able to stop the rebels."

Gao Qiu asked, "Didn't the privy envoys say that Sanshan Xuanmen has already decided to support us? With their support, we have [-] imperial troops outside, and we will immediately organize the people to defend the city. Can you hold on for a month?"

What he meant, Tong Guan understood very well that the search for people's money has only just begun.

If he persisted for another month, he would definitely be able to search the entire Jinling City.

Li Bangyan and Wang Fu suggested, "Envoy, let's evacuate in batches. Let Gao Taiwei insist here, and I will return to Beijing first. At that time, it will be fine to meet Gao Taiwei in the capital."

"what are you saying?"

Gao Qiu's face turned green.

Wang Fu said, "Gao Taiwei, among the officials present, only you have the experience of leading troops. It is perfect for you to command the imperial army to defend the city. We believe that under your command, the imperial army will definitely be able to fight the enemy bravely." , easily persist for a month."

"That's right, Taiwei Gao, this matter is none other than yours, so don't refuse."

Li Bangyan echoed behind.

Gao Qiu said coldly, "Sitting in Jinling City, the matter is very important, everything must be decided by the envoy, how can you talk about it?"

Wang Fu and Li Bangyan said with sinister smiles, "Then please ask the Privy Envoy to make a decision."

Tong Guan looked at the field, and Gao Qiu ordered, "What Master Wang and Master Li said is very true. The situation in the capital is unknown at the moment. We will all go back in a hurry. It is inevitable that someone will be punished. If the Taiwei is in Jinling, then It means that Jinling City is still in our hands. We can ask Your Majesty to reorganize troops and horses to support you. Even if Jinling City is lost at that time, it is a problem with the court and has nothing to do with us. Therefore, Jinling City must at least Stick to it for a month. This important task can only be undertaken by Gao Taiwei."

Gao Qiu stared blankly at Tong Guan, but he didn't expect him to sell himself just like that.

It turned out that they had already discussed it before he came.

Wang Fu cupped his hands and said, "Then please leave it to the Taiwei."

"Taiwei, you must defend Jinling City and buy us time!"

Li Bangyan also handed over.

At this time, Gao Qiu had no way out.

He could only bite the bullet, and agreed with Tong Guan, "Humble job, take orders!"

A satisfied smile finally appeared on Tong Guan's face.

He encouraged Gao Qiu and said, "Don't be pessimistic, Taiwei Gao. There are three immortals to help you defend the city, and you will definitely be safe. As long as you persist for a month, we will gain a firm foothold in the capital. At that time, you will be a great achievement." One thing. This envoy and colleagues will never forget your contribution."

Gao Qiu clapped his hands and said yes, he thought to himself, who would believe you, you old fox.

You all ran away, leaving me here alone, wouldn't that keep me here waiting to die?
Tong Guan also explained, "In addition to defending the city, you also need to speed up the collection of supplies to suppress the bandits. Jinling City is lost. With these supplies, we can also reorganize our troops and make a comeback."

"My subordinate understands!"

Gao Qiu knew that in Tong Guan's heart, this matter was far more important than his life.

A group of people immediately separated to act, arranged by Gao Lian, and mobilized the imperial guards to defend the city overnight.

The Forbidden Army, which originally had only [-] soldiers and horses, had to be split into four sides and scattered on the walls of each side.

The strongholds, checkpoints, outposts, and all commanding heights and key positions outside the city were completely abandoned and all retreated to the inner city.

To the north of the city, the fire was like a long dragon.

The army of millions of Jiedu envoys, mighty and mighty, headed north from the south bank of the general.

Jiedu envoys from all walks of life gathered together, stood on a high place, and looked in the direction of Jinling City from a distance.

Qinghe Jiedu envoy Jing Zhong said, "This farewell, life and death are unpredictable. Our brothers will really become people without masters, and we can only resign ourselves to fate."

Xu Jingdao, the envoy of the Dragon City Festival, "What are you afraid of? Isn't Yang Wen, Xiang Yuanzhen and Mei Zhan also lonely souls without a master? Why don't we dare to go when they rush to the capital?"

Li Congji comforted them and said, "What are you afraid of? We have soldiers and people, and we are kings wherever we go. Without the control of treacherous ministers, we will be dragons entering the sea. If you want to occupy land for future, then occupy land and become king. If you want to be big for him If you work for the Song Dynasty, then you will work for the Great Song Dynasty. In this troubled world, there is nothing to be afraid of if you have soldiers in your hands."

"Brother Li is right!"

The other Jiedu envoys all looked relieved.

They laughed and greeted their subordinates, telling them to speed up their march, lest the rebel army would not mean what they said and would intercept them in front.
