The soldiers and onlookers all stepped aside.
It was obvious that these cavalrymen who broke in were not good people.
He must be an important figure in the rebel army because he dared to ride his horse and charge in front of Niu Desheng, who had an army of 100,000.
Niu Desheng was about to watch the King of Han being boiled in water, but was interrupted by someone who broke in. He immediately became furious.
However, as soon as someone came, the fire immediately stopped!
It turned out that the person who came on horseback was none other than Yang Yan, one of Li Jingang's Four Heavenly Kings and a military strategist who was both civil and military.
The fact that the rebel army was able to successfully lead their troops into Bailuyuan and threaten Xijing was a plan he came up with to deceive the world.
Niu Desheng fought fiercely and bravely, but he admired Yang Yan very much.
When Yang Yan came to him on horseback, he hurried over to hold the reins and enthusiastically helped Yang Yan dismount.
"Brother Yang, you came just in time. You didn't miss the show of boiling the King of Han!"
"Come on, quickly bring a chair to Yang Tianwang so that we two brothers can enjoy the show together."
Niu Desheng smiled playfully and called on his men to quickly bring a stool to Yang Yan.
"General Niu, that's not necessary!"
Yang Yan waved his hands and walked onto the stage with a sullen look on his face. "Immediately have your men take the King of Han down and lock him up first!"
"Don't do this thing of boiling the King of Han!"
Why?
Niu Desheng's eyes were as big as his balls: "Brother, our rebellion is against the Yin family, we want to drive them out of power! We will kill all the people in the Yin family!"
"Why won't you let me kill the King of Han?"
"Of course he will be killed. Now is not the time. The King of Han still has great use!"
Yang Yan patiently advised, "You are doing this boiling of the King of Han, clearly because of a personal vendetta."
"He's a useless pig. What else can he be used for besides selling meat?" Niu Desheng asked in great confusion.
"The Marshal has taken over Xijing and will need the King of Han," said Yang Yan.
"What? The Marshal has 150,000 troops, and I have another 100,000. We're surrounding Xijing, and one man can piss on the walls of Xijing. What's the point of using a pig like the King of Han?"
Niu Desheng was unhappy.
"In any case, you are not allowed to touch him now. After we take Xijing, you can deal with him as you wish."
Seeing that Niu Desheng looked dissatisfied, Yang Yan did not explain much and spoke firmly.
The rebel army started from Xiazhou and grew like a snowball along the way. It was unstoppable and never suffered a defeat.
The rebel army now has 300,000 soldiers and is approaching Xijing, an important city in Dayin.
Once Xijing is taken, many people around the world who are waiting and watching will reconsider their decisions.
For example, the Jiangnan Group and the Longxi Group, which have always been suppressed in the court.
The Jiangnan Group is an interest group formed by big businessmen in Jiangnan Road, and the Longxi Group is a powerful family from the previous dynasty.
These two groups have the strongest political demands in the current Dayin Dynasty.
Because the cabinet and the six ministries were basically controlled by the literati of the Central Plains Group, no one from the Jiangnan Group and the Longxi Group held important positions.
Fan Nan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, who was born in Longyou Road, was expected to become the leader of the Longxi Group, but was demoted to Lingnan instead.
However, Yang Dingguo, the Minister of War who represented the Jiangnan Group, had just been promoted from the position of Jiedushi of Jiangnan Road, and his foundation in the court was not stable.
Now, Li Jingang's power has expanded. If he is allowed to take over Xijing, he will have the capital to compete with the imperial court.
These aristocratic groups that are powerless in the Dayin Dynasty may be ready to place a bet on Li Jingang.
The Dayin Dynasty had lasted for two hundred years and was corrupt and on the verge of collapse. If Li Jingang sat on the throne, the Jiangnan Group and the Longxi Group would definitely be able to monopolize the government.
After all, a bunch of peasants can conquer the world, but it takes scholars to govern the world.
Therefore, even though Li Jingang would not listen to Yang Yan's advice to accumulate grain and slowly become king, Yang Yan's determination to assist Li Jingang in achieving great things would not change.
And taking Xijing is the most critical link in this principle.
Yang Yan must seize any element that can help capture Xijing.
This King of Han is a crucial factor in Yang Yan's plan.
When he and Li Jingang were on their way to Bailuyuan and learned that Niu Desheng was going to boil the King of Han, Yang Yan immediately took a few followers and rushed to Niu Desheng's camp to stop him.
Fortunately, they arrived in time. If they had been a moment later, Prince Yinxuan of Han would have been cooked.
"Really...really keep him?" Seeing Yang Yan's tough attitude, Niu Desheng was a little unwilling.
"Of course!"
Yang Yan said without question, "The Marshal's army is not far behind us. Come with me to welcome him!"
"Alright! Let's just let this pig live a few more days!"
Hearing that Li Jingang was coming soon, Niu Desheng stopped arguing and ordered his men, "Take the King of Han and his family away and keep them under guard! Disperse everyone around!"
Seeing that there was nothing good to watch, the people around could only disperse in disappointment.
Niu Desheng tidied up his clothes and armor, took his trusted men and followed Yang Yan to meet Li Jingang.
......
Right now.
At the river ferry two hundred miles east of Xijing, a warship was sailing upstream.
However, on the official road beside the river, a large army was marching hurriedly.
They were the 30,000 soldiers from the three battalions of the capital, as well as the 60,000 logistical support soldiers, who were heading to Xijing.
A mighty army of one hundred thousand soldiers advanced by land and sea.
In the team, Yang Dingguo, the Minister of War who was in charge of the army, had a serious face and a frown on his face.
The five battalions of the capital's main camp are known as the most elite troops in the world.
The predecessor of the Five Battalions of the Capital was the imperial guards surrounding the founding emperor of Dayin.
