Chapter 1084 The Last Killing Move
After noon, the clouds shrouded over Bianjing finally dissipated, revealing the golden sunshine behind them.
But it had just come out, and with a loud bang, the rising smoke and dust completely obstructed the sky above the imperial city, blocking the sunlight. After a long time, the smoke and dust settled, allowing the people in the city to see clearly the vague appearance of the figure surrounding the gap in the city wall and the Sun-shaped banner he had first cast!
When he saw that Sun Tu's banner came, the last little hope of Li Gang and others was completely broken. Everyone was ashamed and full of despair, and even muttered: "How could this be? How could this be..."
However, Li Gang himself obviously had accepted Sun Tu's statement before. He did not show too despair at this moment. He just stood there expressionlessly, and his eyes did not move half apart, just like the clay sculptures and wooden sculptures in the temple, his soul had been removed.
There were a few more bangs, but the soldiers outside the walls and other weapons directly destroyed the remaining walls so that the brigade could enter smoothly. During this period, hundreds of people had climbed into the wall, and the leader was Han Tao. As soon as he saw Sun Tu controlling the situation on the scene, he quickly stepped forward to congratulate: "Congratulations to the Grand Marshal for breaking the rebel conspiracy in this move, arresting all rebellions, and stabilizing the situation in the court and Tokyo."
When Sun Tu heard this, he just smiled casually: "You have made contributions too, and you will be rewarded by merit. By the way, what about the situation in Beijing now? Where are Lu Da and the others?"
When Sun Tu mentioned Lu Da's name, many officials who had surrendered showed shock on their faces. They realized that they had indeed fallen into the other party's calculations early in the morning. Because based on the information they received, Lu Da Wusong and other major generals loyal to Sun Tu had gone to the south half a month ago. It was obvious that it was a flaw he deliberately exposed.
Han Tao hurriedly replied: "Return to the Taiwei, the two generals Lu Wu are still suppressing rebellions everywhere in the city. Although Song Jiang has stopped outside the city, the rest of the troops still cause a lot of chaos everywhere in the city, and they need to be dealt with in time to avoid hurting more innocent people."
Sun Tu's brow suddenly frowned at his words: "Do you mean the city is still in chaos? The people have also been plagued, are there any casualties?"
"Some, it is reported that no less than 700 innocent people have been killed by this chaos, and countless others have been injured. If our troops had not taken timely suppression, I am afraid that the situation in the city would only be even more chaotic. Especially in the outer city, the arsenal and firearms warehouse were located there, and the rebels were attacked by rebels, and several streets and alleys around were affected. More than a thousand households there were either dead or injured. As for other places, although the casualties were slightly small, they were not optimistic."
As Han Tao said it, Sun Tu's face became more and more gloomy. Not only him, but other officials also changed their color, and their bodies were even trembling. They knew very well how serious their crimes would be if this matter was pursued. Even Li Gang reacted at this time, and hissed and screamed: "This is impossible! I have told them early in the morning not to hurt innocent people, and the people below would never dare..."
"Li Gang, do you think leading troops to reign is as easy as written in the book? What you know is just a paper talk about military affairs. In reality, it is up to you, you, you really think that you can suppress the murderous nature of those chaotic soldiers?" Sun Tu shouted loudly before he could finish his words: "Now the capital is in chaos, and the people are killed and injured. All these sins arose because of you. What are you still in the face of saying that you are for the country and the country? If you want to say that in later history books, you will only say that you will harm the country and the people and kill countless innocent people!"
Li Gang, who was able to remain calm even if he had failed and was captured before, was completely destroyed. His knees were weak, and he almost collapsed. He even shouted in a low voice: "This is impossible, how could it be like this..." After talking like this a few times, he seemed to think of something. He suddenly looked up again, stared at Sun Tu and shouted: "It's you, all this is your conspiracy! It's you who harmed the people in order to turn black and white, right?"
"Don't let your mother gossip!" Sun Tu suddenly swears, kicked Li Gang out suddenly, and then kicked Li Gang down. Then he stepped forward and grabbed him, staring at him with gritted teeth: "I, Sun Tu, only seeking blessings for the people of the world, how could I do such a thing? Now everything is thanks to you, your selfish greed, which has caused the unjust deaths of hundreds or thousands of people. Li Gang, you deserve to die." After saying that, he raised his hand and threw the other party to the ground.
Whether it was because of this fall or the depression in his heart, Li Gang screamed after landing and vomited a large mouthful of blood. The spirit in his eyes had gradually dissipated, and only the remaining was a heavy regret. As for the others, after seeing Sun Tu get so angry, they were panicked. They all shrank back and lowered their heads, but they didn't know whether they were afraid or guilty.
After venting for a while, Sun Tu seemed to have eased a little, then he looked at Han Tao again: "What about the inner city? Can everything be safe in the military camp outside the city?"
"Don't worry, the Grand Marshal, everything is under the control of his brothers, and the inner city has more sufficient troops. As soon as the rebels were launched, they were timely suppressed by the troops of the front office of the Palace. As for the military camp, there was no change. General Fan Qi was in the middle to guard the army, and the soldiers did not dare to make any changes."
Finally, I heard some good news, which made Sun Tu's expression relax: "That's good. Have the people in the army and the court colluded with Song Jiang and Li Gang already appeared and were taken away?"
"Yes, all the relevant criminals have been tied up, just wait for the Grand Marshal to make the final decision." Han Tao nodded.
"Very good. Now you take the people to take over the gate of the imperial city and send the order outside. Everything is based on maintaining stability. No matter whether the generals of the people are injured or treated, those who die must be buried in time to prevent any trouble or disease from occurring. As for what to do in the end, wait until the official enters the palace and meets His Majesty before making a decision." Sun Tu said, and glanced at Li Gang, who had his head lowered, then waved his hand and said to his own soldiers: "Put it aside and follow me into the palace. The war here must have alarmed His Majesty in the palace, so you can't scare him."
"As for the order!" Han Tao and everyone below agreed in a low voice at the same time, and then divided their responsibilities, either following Sun Tu's slight arrangement and heading towards the palace, or staying there, guarding the prisoners, taking over the guards of the imperial city, and some people were sent out to pass Sun Tu's military orders to the soldiers outside.
In this orderly environment, naturally no one paid attention to Li Gang, who had become a prisoner. At this moment, the Song Dynasty Zaizhi looked like he was in a state of dismay and regretful way, but in fact, there was still a light of fire in the depths of his eyes.
"This matter has not yet reached a complete despair. I have the last killing move. Sun Tu, you never imagined that there is a bigger killing situation waiting for you in front of you. I believe that this time, you will definitely die! And as long as you die, the people under your command will become a mess, and there will be a chance to turn the world around!" Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but follow Sun Tu all the way forward, and his old body began to tremble slightly again.
For the sake of today, Li Gang endured for two years and made many plans, so it was naturally impossible for him to give up like this. Until the last moment, he still believed that he could eliminate thieves and return the power to the emperor!
The wall of the imperial city is only a few miles away from the palace. It can be said that as long as you stand on the palace wall and look at it, you can see the situation in the imperial city. So when this incident suddenly arises, the palace has already noticed something strange at the first time.
However, the nearly 5,000 elite imperial guards stationed in the palace did not act rashly and kept their posts. However, everyone had already been unsheathed and had done a good job in dealing with possible changes in the future. After all, for them, their greatest responsibility is to guard this palace and ensure the safety of important figures such as emperors in the palace. As long as the chaos there did not affect this, it would be left to the outsiders to deal with it.
However, Yang Zhi, the commander of the Yulin Army, remained at the highest point of the palace gate, always looking at the situation ahead. However, the melee ahead made it difficult to see clearly the situation at this distance. It was not until the final decision was made and the Sun flag entered the imperial city in the distance that he confirmed that Sun Tu finally won the battle.
This made his expression a little strange, but then his eyes became firmer again. With a gesture, the troops below had begun to be mobilized.
At this time, Di Huchen, who was in the army with him, also came over: "Brother Yang, we are finally here to repay the king's kindness to the country and carry the will of our ancestors. Are you ready?"
"Of course!" Yang Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw Sun Tuzheng leading a team of troops slowly coming. Just like every time he entered the palace, Sun Tu rode his horse at the front of the team, which made his expression look strange.
"Master Sun is here, and I am ready to open the door to welcome him." Di Huchen seemed to feel the abnormality in Yang Zhi's heart, so he spoke on his behalf.
As this sentence came to an end, the closed palace gate opened silently, revealing the long corridor inside and the open square behind the corridor.
"Taiwei, what happened outside? Why is it so chaotic?" Yang Zhi had recovered at this time and asked loudly when he saw Sun Tu approaching.
"Today, a group of rebels led by Li Gang suddenly rebelled and wanted to seize Tokyo and kill my official. But now I have all taken it away. Now, I am just going to meet the official family and let him make the final decision to punish this rebellion." Sun Tu replied with a smile: "By the way, Your Majesty was not scared in the palace, right?"
"Your Majesty is fine. Please enter the palace. However, the rules in the palace are that there is no murderous aura of swords and weapons, so these guards..." Di Huchen also said with a smile above.
Sun Tu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then I will go to see Your Majesty alone." As he said that, he slapped his horse and went straight into the palace wall.
After a while, one person and one rider had already passed through the luxurious palace gate and entered the corridor. At this moment, with a crisp sound of a chuck, hundreds of figures suddenly emerged on the walls on both sides of the corridor, and their hands were all covered with crossbows with arrows hanging on the strings.
Before the knight below could react, the bowstring sounded, and hundreds of arrows flew out like heavy rain and hail, covering the whole body of the people.
