In late spring, strong winds howled and the city was in chaos.

Sima Deke walked out of the room and got on his horse. Not long after walking on the street, he realized something... It turned out that there had been a strong wind from last night to now. Many military barracks and buildings outside the city were damaged, but the damage was

It was common for middle-level officers from all over the Forbidden Army to go to Beishengfu (the command and management department of the Forbidden Army) on the south side of the city to ask for supplies and pensions.

After knowing the news, he did not hesitate and immediately changed his plan. On the one hand, he went to inform Sima Jinda and on the other hand, he personally picked up the imperial doctor Zheng Zhang Kang. After a brief discussion, the two simply left the city and headed to Beishen Mansion in the south of the city.

.

When they arrived at the place, Sima Jinda got the news and entered the Preparation Mansion first. The seventh among the Eight Great Masters, he was the General Staff Officer of the Forbidden Army. He was working here seriously. He was also the most powerful person of Sima's generation. Behind him was

The entire Sima family ranks extremely high in the entire Forbidden Army system, and is recognized as the face of Jiangdu.

Therefore, when he came here, he immediately overstepped his authority to receive supplies and pensions, but did not rush to solve the specific problems. He just gathered hundreds of middle-level officers in the fenced compound in the Bishen Mansion that could almost be used as a school ground, and according to the

After the order was arranged, I sat there, facing the strong wind, holding a charcoal pen to record the losses.

While he was writing this, suddenly, as if he had clairvoyant eyes, Sima Deke directly led Zhang Kang through the various places in the huge Preparation Mansion and came here.

Sima Deke is a serious general, and there is no hierarchy in the military. Almost everyone stood up immediately to greet him.

Without waiting for a salute, Sima Deke walked to Sima Jinda's side and waved to everyone: "Brothers, this morning I went to the palace to do some work, but I met the imperial doctor Zheng Zhang. He left the palace at dawn.

He escaped back and told me something big..."

"What can't wait?" Just as the noise below started to get noisy, Sima Jinda who was sitting there refuted it coldly, as if he was dissatisfied with the other party going beyond his explanation. "Sima Huben, we are talking about the clothing, transportation, housing and food of the knights here.

Woolen cloth!"

"Return to clothing, transportation, shelter and food." The friction between the two Sima Deke caused a quiet moment in the compound, but unexpectedly, Sima Deke's shell got stuck after a few words... It was not that he forgot the words, but

He knew that there was no turning back from these words... However, he finally gritted his teeth and said it. "According to Doctor Zhang, the Dongdu Forbidden Army may even lose their lives!"

There was a complete commotion below, but Sima Jinda stood up and hit the pillar with his scabbard. This stopped the commotion, and all the officers in the yard sat back down.

"What's going on? Don't be alarmist." Sima Jinda continued to scold, but turned to Zhang Kang. "Mr. Zhang, tell me."

"I also find it unbelievable, but...but it's true. Last night, I went to give the saint a massage, and he asked me if there was any poison that could kill tens of thousands of people?" Zhang Kang said hurriedly.

Tens of thousands of people were poisoned and the Dongdu Forbidden Army lost their lives. How could everyone not be shocked?

Therefore, just in the middle of speaking, chaos arose again, forcing Sima Jinda to use his true energy to shout orders, and also attracted his own soldiers from Bei Shen Mansion to restore order.

Finally, he calmed down. This time, I don't know if everyone had suspicions or because they were surrounded by heavily armed soldiers, but they continued to calm down and waited for the other party to finish speaking.

"I didn't understand at that time. I just said that poison is naturally available, but how can it be as easy as beheading? The sage said, if you can behead, why do you need poison? Only if there is no leakage." Zhang Kang hurriedly tried his best to speak again, and this

At that time, the south wind was howling, and Smadek also used his true energy, but he blocked the imperial doctor from the chaotic wind blowing from the side. "I was already frightened at this time, so I quickly made up my mind, saying that if this is the case, I must be careful.

If the smell of poison leaks out, it is best to take them together... It is best to cover it up with wine. The sage said..."

"Just say what?" Sima Jindafu urged again.

"He said that as long as he is poisoned and loses his strength, it will be fine. There are Jiangdong soldiers and horses available. Then he asked me, can poison be used on practitioners?" Zhang Kang continued. "I said that poison is generally a little weak against the immortal energy.

The rest can be used. The sage said that it is feasible, and then urged me to prepare quickly. I will use it in the near future, so as to avoid chaos in the future... After I went back, I thought about it. I really felt that I couldn't do such a thing, so I escaped early in the morning.

, but met General Huben."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sima Deke raised his voice and made a summary: "Brothers, Your Majesty clearly wants to stay in Jiangning for a long time and will not return to Dongdu. He also sees that all the heroes in Dongdu are homesick and something will happen every now and then. This

The second time, because General Tuwan wanted to leave, it was even more unbearable, so he decided to poison the Dongdu people as well so that he could go to Jiangning freely!"

Now, the situation that was originally under control was completely out of control.

There are those who are angry, those who are depressed, those who cry, and those who curse.

Frankly speaking, this rumor is a bit low-end, but the level of officers who cannot stand it is that the level of education of the officers is low, or even lower... Because the practice itself, especially the cultivation of the right channels, is indeed hard work, and it takes a lot of physical exertion every day to cope with it.

There are not many people who are upright and can insist on reading... Therefore, many people actually believed it for a while, and then the crowd became excited.

But even so, it is impossible for everyone to believe it. There must be sophisticated people and experienced people who are confused about this poisoning statement, because it is too outrageous from an operational point of view.

However, if you are a smart person, how can you not see that General Staff Sima Jinda and Huben General Sima Deke, two Sima from different clans, sing and sing in harmony? This matter is either true, or the big shot has it.

decision.

And more importantly, isn’t it true that the saint wants to go to Jiangning? Isn’t it true that everyone is not allowed to go home?

Who doesn't want to go home?

Therefore, in the excitement of the crowd, it was not that no one stood up and said it was a rumor, but they were completely drowned out by the complaints.

After spreading the rumor, the two Sima looked at each other. Sima Deke actually took Zhang Kang away directly, while Sima Jinda looked at the chaos in the field with his hands behind his back, but then he let go of the soldiers who were maintaining order.

Let these middle-level officers disperse in the Prefecture.

In the chaos, rumors spread widely, and not everyone among them returned to the military camp with other thoughts, or simply thought of entering the city.

However, those who returned to the military camp soon discovered that rumors seemed to be coming with the wind, and the entire military camp was wrapped in rumors... The grassroots soldiers were even less able to identify such rumors, and the higher-level officers did not understand, on the contrary.

, this rumor did not have much credibility among senior officers, but in the face of the pressure from the entire army, the senior officers felt powerless and did not even dare to refute it; as for those who tried to go to Jiangdu City, they quickly discovered a problem.

, various places in the city gate said that they had received military orders, some said that some people believed the rumors and became disloyal, and some said that someone was colluding with each other and spouting endless rumors. In short, they deliberately took advantage of the strong wind to enter the city and set fire to it, so all the city gates were sealed.

, entry and exit are strictly prohibited.

This made most of the sergeants who wanted to express something even more angry, while the few who wanted to contact and inquire fell into panic and helplessness.

Yes, the first step of the rebel group is to spread rumors and spread rumors widely to stir up the atmosphere; the second step is to block the city gates from the outside to the inside, cut off news, and control traffic.

Especially the second step, it reflects the fundamental confidence of this rebel group... The city defense of Jiangdu City is controlled by Ma Huada of Ruiguo Company, and naturally Sima Jinda can directly order it; and the city defense of Miyagi City is controlled by Ma Huada of Ruiguo Company.

It is controlled by Sima Deke, who is in charge of Jinwu Guard.

It is completely logical for them to want to seal the city gate.

"General, do you want to close the palace gate now?" Sima Deke entered the palace city and watched the imperial doctor Zheng Zhang Kang go to the palace. Just as he was about to take matters into his own hands, Yuan Lizheng, the commander of the Jinwu Guard directly under him, came down from the gate tower.

Asked in a low voice. "I heard from them that things went very smoothly."

"No, closing the palace gate now will alert the enemy." Smadek reminded sternly. "Don't look elsewhere. Your mission remains unchanged. From now on, if there is a suspicious person who wants to enter the palace to report, you will stop him and wait until the night.

When the time comes, make sure the Xuanwu Black Gate in the north is unlocked...Ignore the rest for now."

Yuan Lizheng nodded immediately.

But Sima Deke left without hesitation and turned to the side of the palace.

Let us say that Jiangdu City is one of the five capitals of the Wei Dynasty. There is a palace city in the city. The palace city faces south and west from the north, and there are branch cities to the north on both sides. Among them, Cangcheng is in the northeast, which is when Zhang Xing and others discovered that they were short of food.

The place on the left contains food, cloth, money, furniture, vehicles and other dead objects; while the northwest is the stables and arsenal.

Sima Deke's trip was to take the third step, which was to take away the royal horse and armor.

This is not only to further complete his own military equipment, but also to relieve the emperor's ability to resist and escape in large groups.

This step is very sensitive, because the emperor is in the palace, and so is Niu Du Gong. However, as Sima Deke is the Huben general in charge of the Jinwu Guard, there is no problem in theory as long as the emperor is not alerted.

Things went smoothly all morning, but an accident finally happened.

"How can the royal horse move? Where is it going?" Halfway through the horse's lead, suddenly a well-dressed chamberlain led a few people to the stables, and then asked hurriedly. "Sima Huben, why did you come in person?

this?"

The sergeants were a little nervous. Of course, these Smadek's henchmen knew that they were going to rebel.

On the other hand, Sima Deke seemed calm: "Deputy Superintendent Zhao, this has nothing to do with your Clothing and Hat Bureau. Didn't you talk about the rebellion earlier? The imperial court wants to send the imperial army to support the general manager. I asked for the order and just fought with Governor Niu.

Hello, I want to transfer the royal horse to Bishengfu."

The man was immediately surprised: "I was appointed as the new Inspector of Horses yesterday, and I just came from Governor Niu, and I haven't..."

By the end of the conversation, the volume had become so weak that it was lost in the wind, and people's faces turned pale.

"Kill them." Sima Deke felt helpless and waved his order.

The soldiers swarmed up and could only kill several servants in a hurry under the stable. Then, according to the military order, they abandoned the corpses in the stable, leaving a group of sergeants to block and guard them, and then took away the war horses and swords.

Before noon, there was already blood.

To be fair, this made the originally calm rebel group a little nervous.

And next, is the fourth step.

After the royal horses and ordnance were brought out, Sima Deke immediately turned to the south of the city, but he did not enter Bishen Mansion directly, but came to the True Fire Temple further south of Bishen Mansion, which was already on the edge of the river.

Chief Sima Jinda and Zhao Xingmi had also led many people to wait for him on the river beach outside the temple... Not only that, in the south wind, the number of military officers gathered was still increasing.

That's right, the fourth step is to gather the troops and determine the final total military strength to be launched.

However……

"There are a lot of people here." Zhao Xingmi couldn't help but feel a little dazed when he explained in a low voice. "After the Beishen Mansion dispersed, I waited for an hour, and then I asked someone to tell me that I wanted to come to Zhenhuo Temple in the afternoon to do something big, and the result was estimated

Half of the military officers outside the city came with me."

Sima Jinda next to him also looked a little flushed.

Smadek turned around to look and was speechless for a moment, but he still tried to cheer up and nodded: "This is a good thing."

Sima Jinda and Zhao Xingmi could only nod their heads, and then gestured with their lips together.

Seeing this shape, Smadek gritted his teeth and walked forward on his own. He jumped onto the temporary wooden platform, took off his helmet, released his true energy first, and then took advantage of the south wind blowing from the river to make preparations.

Final announcement:

"Everyone! I am Huben General Sima Deke. I want to ask you, do you want to go home?!"

There was no response as expected from below, but the previous noise continued in the wind. Zhao Xingmi joined the group of officers and soldiers below and quickly shouted to respond, but the surroundings were still noisy as before.

This scene not only made Sima Deke panic, but Sima Jinda, who had not been on stage originally, jumped on the stage without hesitation, and then exercised his energy and loudly asked: "General Huben is asking you, do you want to come back?"

Home?"

This time, there was silence below, but still no one answered.
To be continued...
