Chapter 2298: Enemy at the Gate
The aftermath of the Third Prince's inaction and Su Huai's self-destruction were more serious than Zheng Sangge, Zhang Wenshu and others had expected. Along the way, Zheng Sangge and Qin Wuyou's army did not encounter any decent resistance at all, and it could almost be said that they reached the city of Jiangning unimpeded.
The Third Prince regretted it so much that he wanted to chop Su Huai into pieces!
At this time, the news that Su Huai had died outside had not yet been reported back. The courtiers in the Third Prince's small court had no way to do anything to him, and all of their anger was directed at the Su family.
There was not a single peaceful day in the Su residence. The servants who went out to purchase goods would be beaten, and rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves and other garbage were thrown on the door and the gate.
Later, the news that Su Huai's entire army was defeated and fled and disappeared spread back, and the whole court was furious. Su Huai had lost all the foundation of the court in one fell swoop!
Now that the enemy is at the gate, what should we do?
He acted on his own will and destroyed everyone's way of survival!
The angry court officials rushed directly to the Su family, drove out Mrs. Su and others, smashed the house and burned it down.
The armies of Zheng Sangge and Qin Wuyou have already reached the outside of the city, and the Second Prince's side is also on the way. There is no decent resistance force in Jiangning City at all.
The third prince was the first to panic. He knew that he was doomed to be attacked from both sides, so he once again abandoned the city and fled, trying to escape to Zhenjiang and find a boat to escape from the Qin Dynasty.
Once the Third Prince escaped, Jiangning City could not be defended at all! Zheng Sangge and Qin Wuyou were lucky enough to attack Jiangning City before the Second Prince and the Sun family.
After three days when the situation was basically stabilized, the Sun family's troops arrived.
The Sun family was so angry that they ordered a violent attack.
Zheng Sangge and Qin Wuyou brought a lot of soldiers and horses, and they also won over the people's hearts and integrated the existing troops in Jiangning City, so they defended the city firmly, and the Sun family did not gain any advantage.
When the Sun family wanted to continue fighting, they were targeted by another Huaixi army that came from Hangzhou City. If they moved, they would be attacked from both sides.
To be honest, they had no guarantee of winning and could only retreat in frustration.
At this point, the entire Jiangnan region fell into Shao Yunduan's hands!
This made everyone in Huaixi excited as if they had been given a shot of stimulant!
It will take a lot of time to retake and integrate such a large area, so this year is destined to be a very busy one.
Shao Yunduan had no choice but to move to Hangzhou City with Qiao Xuan and An An, and also went to Jiangning.
After that, the two lived in Hangzhou City.
This place is very close to Huaixi and Jiangning, making it convenient for management.
Taotao and Zhao Shu are the happiest. After all, most of Zhao Shu's business is in the Jiangnan area, and Hangzhou has a lot of industries.
Later, he and Taotao stayed in Hangzhou City, and happened to be with Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan and others.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were also planning that after they were done with this busy period, they would try to bring Fang and her family over before the New Year so that the family would be closer in the future.
In Huaixi, Wuguan was still guarding Huaixi Pass, which was an important place and could not be relaxed. However, it was a bit of a waste for Jia Heming's talents to remain in the provincial capital of Huaixi.
Shao Yunduan selected two people from among the clerks, one as prefect and the other as chancellor, to manage Huaixi together. Jia Heming and his family followed them to Jiangning to take up their posts.
Song Shi and Li Xia will stay in the provincial capital of Huaixi and take care of Qiao Xuan's business there. They can also help monitor the public's reputation. This arrangement is very appropriate.
