The Xiaoling Guard outside the Chaoyang Gate of Tianjing has now become a huge military camp. The newly formed Fourth Army in the West Hall has more than 30,000 people, and 20,000 people are filled with the military, civilians and village corps.

The vanguard of the Fourth Army had arrived here yesterday. The hundreds of Beidian troops stationed here did not resist and became prisoners together. What surprised Feng Zicai was that these prisoners were not discouraged at all, but instead felt relieved as if they were relieved.

Since Feng Zicai was transferred back to Suzhou at the beginning of the year to report his duties, as the plan of the Western King to disrupt the faction between the generals of the new army, Feng Zicai went from the commander of the New Third Army to the acting division commander of the new Fourth Army. The new Fourth Army followed the Western King to the Tianjing, and the Second Division was used as the vanguard. Yesterday, when he arrived at Xiaolingwei, he saw that the Northern Hall Army had no fighting spirit. Feng Zicai originally planned to conquer Chaoyang Gate in one go, but unexpectedly received the order from the Western King and ordered the Second Division to station in Xiaolingwei to establish camps for the subsequent troops.

Feng Zicai had to give up the great opportunity and stayed in Xiaolingwei to build a camp. At this time, he stood on a slope and looked at the camp of Xiaolingwei in front of him, but it was a busy scene. Those who dug trenches, built wooden fences, built camps, and carried supplies. The entire Xiaolingwei was crowded with people, and the horses and cows were neighing and roaring.

Feng Zicai lit a Xiaodao brand cigarette. Since becoming the acting teacher, he has gradually become obsessed with the smell of this cigarette. When he is upset, he will lit a cigarette to relieve his irritability.

"What? I haven't figured out the command of the Western King?" Feng Zicai looked back and spoke, Zhang Mingjing, the chief of staff of the Third Army, who was originally from his third army. He saw him walking to his side and also looked at the Chaoyang Gate in Tianjing in the distance and sighed, "The Western King is planning to go to the city to clean up the mess in the end."

Feng Zicai frowned slightly, and looked at himself and Zhang Mingjing's personal guards a little far away. Then he smiled and said, "Soldiers regard obeying orders as their duty, and our advance this time is not to eliminate many enemies, but to win people's hearts, right?"

Zhang Mingjing laughed and patted Feng Zicai on the shoulder and praised, "It's not bad, it's a little deeper than I think. Indeed, our potential enemy is not just the Beidian Army when we enter Tianjing this time."

Feng Zicai took a deep breath of smoke and said, "Now the Wing King's troops have reached Dasheng Pass. Yang Fuqing's troops are in Chunhua Town behind us. There are only more than 30,000 soldiers in the North Palace, and their morale is low. They are not our opponent at all. I think the Western King ordered us to temporarily station in Xiaolingwei for two purposes."

Zhang Mingjing smiled and said, "Yes, I thought about it all night. I also think it's two purposes. Let's talk about it first. What are the two of us thinking differently?"

Feng Zicai looked at the direction of Tianjing and said, "One of them is that the Heavenly King's Mansion and the West King's Mansion are still in the city. The West King is worried about attacking Tianjing. The North Palace Army will stage the final madness, and even attacking the Heavenly King's Mansion and the West King's Mansion at all costs. Let's stop. It is to leave a memorial for Wei Changhui and leave room for negotiation to resolve the matter. After all, the West King doesn't want a Tianjing city with a lot of life."

Zhang Mingjing nodded and said, "That's right. If the dog is anxious, he will jump over the wall. If the Chaoyang Gate is broken, Wei Changhui might really burn the city with fire. He is no longer the Northern King. He is now a madman."

Feng Zicai asked hesitantly: "Does the King of the West really plan to negotiate with a lunatic?"

Zhang Mingjing smiled and said without saying anything: "The negotiation takes time. Although negotiations with the madman may not be completed, we can finally get time."

Feng Zicai understood a little: "The Western King needs time to win people's hearts, especially in the Yiwang tribe and Yang Fuqing tribe in Dashengguan and Chunhua Town."

Zhang Mingjing nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the second purpose of the Western King is to use this time to support the king, it is best to conquer the two families. Too early to take over Tianjing will inevitably make things complicated."

Feng Zicai looked a little surprised and asked slowly, "Because the Heavenly King is still in the city of Tianjing?"

Zhang Mingjing smiled and said, "Yes, our nominal co-lord. The king of heaven is still in Tianjing. If he enters Tianjing too early, the Western King's right to speak will be weaker. If he enters Tianjing too early, it will be difficult to act."

Feng Zicai said yelling and said without thinking: "This king is really troublesome. Why didn't Wei Changhui get rid of him?"

After Feng Zicai said this, he seemed to think of something again. He looked at Zhang Mingjing with a somewhat ugly expression. Zhang Mingjing also had an ordinary face. The two looked at each other and said in a lost voice: "The Western King has a third purpose!"

...

However, Wei Changhui summoned a confidant general at the Beiwang Mansion that day to conspire to mobilize troops to attack the Tianwang Mansion. Although the capital is under the control of the Beidian today, there are two places that are not under the rule of the Beidian. One is Hong Xiuquan's Tianwang Mansion, and the other is the Xiwang Mansion. Both places have their own guards and guards. The Tianwang Mansion still has more than 3,000 guards, and the Xiwang Mansion also has more than 1,000 guards. Although the Beidian army had many soldiers at this time, there were also many guards in the Tianwang Mansion. Although there were few guards in the Xiwang Mansion, they were all elite soldiers. Without complete confidence, Wei Changhui would not dare to take action rashly. Moreover, if it were not desperate, Wei Changhui would not dare to kill the Tianwang Mansion or kill all the people in the Xiwang Mansion, especially the people in the Xiwang Mansion. Wei Changhui still needed them to be hostages.

Wei Changhui looked at a group of confidants in the hall and said in a deep voice: "Transfer my commandment, all the soldiers gather and follow me to attack the Heavenly King's Mansion!"

All the generals were stunned. General Zhang Tonghai asked, "Your Highness, how many people should we prepare?" Now Wei Changhui often kills people, and the generals dare not disobey him, so they can only follow his words.

Wei Changhui said anxiously: "Didn't I say it? All, all." "Yes!" Zhang Tonghai relied on his courage and said: "Your Highness! There are more than 39,300 soldiers in our hands. We have occupied 18,000 soldiers to defend the periphery of Tianjing, and guarded the city gates, city walls, palaces and other places. There are only more than 3,000 soldiers that can be mobilized. How to mobilize? Please decide for the 6,000th anniversary."

Wei Changhui felt a little cold when he heard this. Now he felt that there were few people and his strength was empty. He heard that the royal army had less than 200,000 people. What could he do to fight against others? Can more than 3,000 people take down the Heavenly King Mansion? There were more than 3,000 people in the Heavenly King Mansion, and the Heavenly King Mansion was extremely strict. Not to mention that even 3,000 people might not be able to fight. Once the Heavenly King Mansion was moved, it would only be victorious. If it was not defeated, the Heavenly King Mansion must be taken down, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and shook his head and sighed. But, is it okay not to take this action? It is not possible, the situation is not waiting for anyone! Xiao Chaogui and Shi Dakai may come back at any time, and it is not possible to defend the city gate without soldiers. The task of guarding the city gate is even more important, and the troops must not be reduced.

Just when Wei Changhui was in a difficult situation, the news brought back by a spy made him dispel the idea of ​​attacking the Heavenly King's Mansion. A spy came with a slutty face to report: "Your Highness, the Western King's army is less than a hundred miles away from Xiaoling Guard, and another army came from Zhenjiang and was about to reach Yanziji."

Wei Changhui's face changed drastically and he said in a trembling voice: "Why, why did it come so quickly?" Then another spy came to report that the Wing King's army was about to reach Dasheng Pass. Wei Changhui was panicked.

Zhang Chunhou, the Minister of the Northern Palace, hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the Western King's army is extremely strong and cannot be regarded as sharp. I heard that even the Russians in the north are not the opponent of the Western Palace soldiers. We should gather our troops and defend the city walls of the Tianjing."

Wei Changhui said angrily: "What if the city walls can't be protected?"

General Zhang Tonghai said charmingly: "Your Highness, our Northern Palace works together to protect His Highness, how can we not be able to defend it?"

Wei Changhui still looked like a mourning test, and kept shook his head and said, "You don't know how powerful the Western King and the Wing King are. I can't deal with Shi Dakai alone, let alone Xiao Chaogui."

Zhang Chunhou frowned and said, "How about this, let's gather our troops first, then concentrate our forces to break the Xiwang Mansion, take the Xiwang family as hostages, and force the Xiwang to retreat!"

Wei Changhui said angrily: "It's nonsense. If Xiao Chaogui learned that the Western Prince's Mansion was destroyed, wouldn't he kill us all?"

Zhang Chunhou said: "The humble official means to conquer the Western King's Mansion, but not harm the Western King's family. This time it is not a random killing." Zhang Chunhou said the wrong thing in a hurry. This time he did not kill people randomly, which means that he had killed people randomly in the previous episode.

But Wei Changhui didn't care, but said thoughtfully: "Will the King of the West retreat for the whole family of the West Prince's Mansion?"

Zhang Chun said kindly: "If someone is not in hand, you can get his life back to Luzhou, Your Highness."

Wei Changhui only remembered what Liu Naixin said about the three strategies of the top, middle and lower that day. At this time, it seemed that Zhongce left Tianjing and returned to Luzhou was at least a good strategy. Wei Changhui thought for a moment and said, "Okay. Let's fight the Xiwang Mansion first, but let brothers be careful, don't hurt the Xiwang family, especially the Xiwang Prince Xiao Youhe." The generals took the order together and prepared to go separately.

Wei Changhui took a short rest for a while, and after dinner, Zhang Tonghai came to report that he had already prepared. Wei Changhui was dressed neatly, dressed in military uniform, and carried a knife outside the North Mansion. Zhang Tonghai was ready, and three thousand men were ready. Wei Changhui waved his big sword and rushed to the West Prince's Mansion to kill him.

That night, the sky was very dark, and the stars and moon were light, so it was hard to see the five fingers. However, the soldiers in the North Palace held torches and were familiar with the road. Not long after, they came to the main gate of the Western Palace. Wei Changhui stopped the war horse and watched, but he saw that it was pitch black and there was no sound in the Western Palace. It seemed that the Western Palace was not prepared. He secretly said in his heart: God is really helping me! So he immediately passed the general order and ordered Zhang Tonghai to lead his troops to attack.

The soldiers of the North Palace quickly broke through the main gate of the Xiwang Mansion. Hundreds of the North Palace soldiers rushed into the main gate and came to the front yard of the Xiwang Mansion. However, they did not expect that in an instant, the light balls and torches lit up in the front yard of the Xiwang Mansion, illuminating the front yard as daytime.

The hundreds of soldiers from the North Palace who entered the West Palace were still stunned. Suddenly, three cannons were fired in the West Palace. Torches were raised from the roofs in the front yard. Hundreds of soldiers from the West Palace guards were holding muskets and fired at the North Palace soldiers in the courtyard.

For a moment, the bullets were like rain, and the firepower of cross-fire was also fire. The soldiers of the North Palace had nowhere to hide. At the same time, more than a hundred Western Palace guardians and generals came out in the alleys on both sides of the West Palace Mansion. The muskets were opened, and the muskets of the West Palace guardians were sharp, and the Northern Palace troops retreated one after another.

The Beidian Army was not prepared for this move, and was caught off guard and was disorganized. Many of them were killed and injured by muskets in an instant, and general Zhang Tonghai also died under the spear.

When Wei Changhui saw that the Western Prince's Mansion had made sufficient preparations, his eyes were about to pop out, and he shouted in dismay: "Where did so many firearms come from the Western Prince's Mansion?"

He didn't know that more than a year ago, the Western King secretly smuggled new Western firearms into Tianjing. After all, all the royal palaces were enjoying various Western objects, mixing guns into tributes, and smuggling into Tianjing from gifts is very easy.

Seeing that the momentum was not good, Wei Changhui hurriedly turned his head and planned to take the road. Seeing that the Northern King fled, the soldiers of the Northern Palace retreated in panic. In this way, three thousand soldiers of the Northern Palace were repelled by a thousand elite guards in the West Palace, and the Western Palace was safe and sound.

In the main hall of the Western King's Mansion, Tong Qiangsheng looked at the corpse of the North Palace soldiers all over the yard with a gloomy face and said, "If the Western King had not given the order, he could have been the dog thief Wei Changhui tonight."

Li Zuoche, who was holding a musket that was still smoking, smiled faintly and said, "If you can't bear it, you will be in trouble. Let's go, we should meet this Northern King, and we must do what the Western King gave."
