Chapter 39: The Demolition of Jing Kingdom

With the help of Cai Mao, Yue Fei successfully swept away all cities in Nanjun except Jiangling. The four major families have stood in the Jing Kingdom for so many years, and their prestige is not comparable to ordinary people. Moreover, the Jing Kingdom royal family has already lost all the hearts of the people in the world. Therefore, as long as Cai Mao appears under the city, all cities will be submerged.

Just as Yang Yanzhao arrived in E County, Yue Fei led a large army to Jiangling.

After investigating the Jing Kingdom, Yue Fei learned that there are less than 8,000 soldiers in Jiangling City today, but Yue Fei is not in a hurry to attack the city. Especially after knowing that Yang Yanzhao's troops had successfully entered E County, Yue Fei finally felt relieved and was much more relaxed in dealing with Jiangling issues.

In the Jiangling Royal Palace, Wang Li and Wang Ping were discussing matters in the hall. Just yesterday, Deng’s army sent someone to give the last ultimatum. As long as Jing State hand over Wang Li and Wang Ping and open the city to surrender, Deng’s army promised not to harm the royal family of Jing State, and the court officials would be slight.

After the Deng army envoy left, Wang Li and Wang Ping seemed to be malicious and thought that the other party wanted to capture them and hand them over to Deng army.

"Wang Ping, now that Deng's army is at the city, what should we do?" Now the only person Wang Li can believe is Wang Ping, who is also the only remaining general in Jing State.

Wang Ping's face was very ugly. He originally thought that as long as the aristocratic sect was eliminated, their royal sect could control the power of the Jing Kingdom, but he did not expect that Cai Mao would surrender to Deng's army so decisively, which made it impossible to react. Deng's army fought to Jiangling City. Now Wang Li asked him what to do, and he also wanted to know what to do. In Jiangling City, no, it can be said that there are only eight thousand soldiers left in the entire Jing Kingdom. There are tens of thousands of Deng troops outside the city. Wang Ping also knows his level. Facing Yue Fei, who can defeat Fan Yi, one of the three generals of the Han Kingdom, he may be bombarded as a scumbag.

"Speak, you are talking, what should you do now?" Wang Li roared angrily when he saw that Wang Ping did not speak.

Wang Ping said with a bitter face: "Mr. Marquis, there is nothing wrong with the general. The enemy is too large and we are few. The disparity in the military strength is too great. In addition, Deng Jun asked you and my life to ask for your and my life. I am afraid that the soldiers in the army will begin to have different intentions, and the general is really powerless to turn the world."

Wang Li looked pale and looked depressed, murmured, "How could this happen? How could this happen!" Wang Li looked desperate. A few days ago, he cleaned up the forces of the aristocratic family in Jiangling, took charge of the government affairs of Jing State, and was dreaming of commanding the world. He had a good plan, so he would first support Wang Jin. After a few years, the time was ripe, and he forced Wang Jin to give way to him. But at this time, Deng Jun came and completely shattered his dream.

Deep in the harem, the new King Jing Wang Jin secretly summoned another minister of the royal family, King Tu of Pingyang.

Wang Jin closed his eyes and said, "Pingyang Jun, what should we do now? Deng's army is at the city, and there are only 8,000 soldiers in Jiangling City, which cannot be stopped at all. I don't want to die." After the last sentence came out, Wang Jin's voice was obviously trembling. Yes, he didn't want to die yet. He and Wang Qing had been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, and finally, with the help of the royal family, defeated the aristocratic sect, placed under house arrest, and ascended the throne of King Jing that he had dreamed of. But in a few days, Deng's army came and he was about to become the king of the destruction of the country. Now Wang Jin is no longer as elegant as before. He no longer thinks about how to hold power and command the Jing Kingdom. He just wants to live.

Wang Tu said: "King, Deng's army has sent people to pass on the message that the Jiangling Incident was all the responsibility of Wang Li and Wang Ping, and the other royal court officials were not involved. I think that if I want to protect the ancestral temple, I can only hand over Wang Li and Wang Ping and open the city to surrender." Now, the court of Jing State can no longer hold back. Now the whole court is thinking about how to save their own lives, and the prerequisite for saving their lives is to hand over Wang Li and Wang Ping, but Wang Li and Wang Ping are important officials of the court. If Wang Jin did not give the order, no one dared to touch them. Although Wang Jin was actually just a puppet of Wang Li and Wang Ping, the two of them had a short time to take power and could not completely control the government. As long as Wang Jin, the King of Jing, ordered the soldiers in Jiangling City, the people would definitely meet.

Thinking of Wang Li and Wang Ping, Wang Jin gritted his teeth even more hated. In his opinion, the reason why Jing Kingdom fell into such a land was that these two people were the culprit. If they hadn't insisted on killing the four major families, Cai Mao would not have surrendered to Deng's army, and Xiangyang would not have been lost. Moreover, these two people have always regarded him as a puppet and did not regard him as a king at all.

Wang Jin looked around and whispered to Wang Tu: "Mr. Pingyang is right. Only now can you take down Wang Li and Wang Ping and surrender to Deng's army to protect our Jing Kingdom's bloodline. However, the military and political power are all in the hands of the two. I wonder if Mr. Pingyang has someone trusted to help me?"

Wang Tu's eyes lit up. He came for this matter today. Of course he had someone in his hands. The royal family sect was not Wang Li's one-man rule. In order to fight against the aristocratic sect, Wang Li, as the younger brother of King Jing, recommended him as the leader.

Wang Tu said: "Lin Yuanbo Wang Zhi was a general from the previous kings. He has always been in charge of Jiangling's troops. However, he handed over the military power a few years ago due to physical reasons. Before coming, I had already passed the truth with him. He was willing to help the king take down Wang Li and Wang Ping."

When Wang Jin heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Since that's the case, I don't know what plan does Pingyang Jun have to take down Wang Li and the other two without knowing it?"

"King, we can do this..." Wang Tu told his plan like a disk. Wang Jin listened and nodded repeatedly.

That night, Wang Tu and Wang Zhi secretly entered the palace with their personal guards. When Wang Tu and his two men entered the palace, Wang Jin sent someone to invite Wang Li and Wang Ping. Wang Li had no doubts about this. In his opinion, although the situation was corrupt, Jiangling City is still firmly in the hands of him and Wang Ping. Perhaps Wang Jin was scared because Deng's army was at the city and wanted to ask if there was any way.

Wang Li and Wang Ping came to the palace with a few personal soldiers. As soon as they entered Wang Jin's bedroom, they were taken down by Wang Tu and Wang Zhi.

After taking down Wang Li and Wang Ping, Wang Zhi hurried to the camp in the city and read out Wang Jin's will. With his past prestige, Wang Zhi quickly controlled the situation. After killing several Wang Ping's confidants, all the eight thousand soldiers in Jiangling City were under the control of Wang Zhi.

After the situation was controlled, Wang Jin asked someone to open the city gate, while Wang Jin took off his shirt, carried thorns, held the seal of King Jing in his hand, and led all civil and military officials to kneel outside Jiangling City. Wang Li and Wang Ping were tied up and taken outside the city.

Everything that happened in Jiangling City was long under Yue Fei's nose. After all, there was Cai Mao in Yue Fei's army. Cai Mao was the former general of the Jing Kingdom and the head of the Cai family of the four major families. Although Cai Mao's power in Jiangling was subjected to a large-scale purge during the Jiangling Rebellion, the lean camel was bigger than a horse, so it was still fine to find a few insiders.

The reason why Yue Fei kept his troops was just sending people to spread the word because Cai Mao once said that the royal family was not a solid piece of law. As long as he called Wang Li and Wang Ping, other royal families would personally capture the two of them in order to save their lives and hand them over to Deng Jun. Therefore, Yue Fei kept his troops still.

As expected, after waiting for several days, Jing Kingdom finally opened the city and surrendered.

Yue Fei led a large army to the city. After taking over the seal of King Jing and the surrender letter from Wang Jin, he personally helped Wang Jin up and appeased the civil and military officials of Jing Kingdom. He led the army into the city. As for Wang Li and Wang Ping, they handed the two to Cai Mao in accordance with the previous agreement with Cai Mao.
