Chapter 808: Troops at Jiankang, Sun and Moon Great Ming!

Eastern Jin, Jiankang City.

Gazing at the Northern Ming's military force moving south, the imperial court was full of panic and unease.

Because the Yangtze River defense line they were proud of could not stop the Northern Ming's crazy tearing at all.

In the situation where the front army was annihilated, what Sima Dan was considering now was moving the capital!

But gazing at the ministers in the imperial court who were all opposing it, Sima Dan couldn't help but roar, "Now the Northern Ming is unstoppable, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"

Facing Sima Dan's questioning, the ministers present fell silent.

Among them, the Huan family and the Xie family didn't even say a word, because they knew too well what was going to happen next.

Huan Wen was missing after the Battle of the Yangtze River, and Xie An was "beheaded in battle"; whatever they said now was wrong. After all, it was their two families who commanded this great battle!

Looking at Sima Dan before him, Wang Xizhi hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, moving the capital now is a bad strategy; we should mobilize the garrison troops from all over!"

"Garrison troops? Our Great Jin's one hundred thousand troops were all lost on the Yangtze River, blood flowing like a river; do you want to repeat it again?"

Looking at Wang Xizhi, Sima Dan had now lost hope in the four great families, because they couldn't stop the Northern Ming at all!

However, just as the Eastern Jin imperial court was in chaos, the Great Ming side was full of joy.

Sitting in his seat, Huan Wen couldn't help but be silent, because he never dreamed that he would still lose.

"Governor Huan is unhappy? Why not say it out, let us all be happy!"

Looking at Huan Wen's appearance, Deng Qiang couldn't help but laugh loudly.

Staring at Deng Qiang, Huan Wen said angrily, "If you want to kill, kill; if you want to slice, slice. If I, Huan Wen, frown even once, I am not a man!"

"Good, Governor Huan is truly heroic. Come, bring him torture!"

Clapping his hands, Deng Qiang couldn't help but tease.

"Clatter!"

Appearing with all kinds of torture instruments, only to see the soldiers immediately place them in the center.

And just when Huan Wen saw the torture instruments on top, he couldn't help but frown, because were these truly things used for people?

Before Huan Wen could react, Deng Qiang picked up a brush and said, "This thing is used for breaking skin. I suppose Governor Huan hasn't played with it before? Let me open your eyes today!"

And just as Deng Qiang stepped forward, Huan Wen was already breaking out in cold sweat.

However, just then, Zhang Cheng, who walked into the large tent, looked at this scene and said, "What is this for?"

"Your Majesty, Governor Huan wanted the subject to slice him, so I am satisfying his request!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Deng Qiang hurriedly explained.

"Hmm, Huan Wen, you have this hobby?"

Looking at Huan Wen in surprise, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but be confused.

And just when Huan Wen was planning to beg for mercy, Zhang Cheng immediately said, "Take him out and slice him. We still have to entertain the Eastern Jin generals who have turned to the light later, don't make it so bloody..."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, only to see Deng Qiang immediately smile.

But in the next second, Huan Wen couldn't help but roar, "Are you guys deliberately teasing me!"

"You just realized it! Hahaha!"

Looking at Huan Wen laughing, Zhang Cheng sat on the main seat and said, "Now the Eastern Jin is already finished, will you surrender or not?"

"I..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng silently, Huan Wen couldn't help but lower his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"You are the number one person of the Huan family. If you die, the Great Ming will definitely clear all obstacles, for example, the entire Huan family!"

Looking at Huan Wen earnestly, Zhang Cheng raised the wine cup in his hand and said, "You must know, no one can negotiate conditions with the Great Ming, because we don't accept requests. You die, the Huan family also dies..."

"Your subject is willing to surrender!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng bitterly, Huan Wen couldn't help but lower his head and bow.

If someone had told Huan Wen three years ago that the Northern Ming could take the world, he would definitely have sneered.

But now, the Great Ming was already unstoppable.

Wearing a long robe, Xie An was wandering in the army, because no one managed him at all.

However, when passing by the grain and fodder area, Xie An looked at someone in shock and said, "Brother? Why are you here?"

"Brother, you are Brother!"

Raising his head in disbelief, Xie Wan looked at Xie An, and he was stunned. But in the next second, Xie Wan was stunned and said, "You were also captured?"

"I, failed!"

Looking at Xie Wan, Xie An couldn't help but feel bitter.

And hearing Xie An say this, Xie Wan patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, don't worry, it's just a defeat. Little brother has already experienced it once. Although it doesn't feel good, our Great Ming has always treated people with honesty. As long as you work hard, you can support yourself!"

Looking at his brother Xie Wan in shock, Xie An couldn't believe that this was the person who was like a romantic scholar back then.

"You disappeared in Taihe, how come you are here now!"

Looking at Xie Wan, Xie An couldn't help but question him.

"Oh, you're talking about back then, I surrendered, and then I became a military scribe. Little brother has now also started a family in the Great Ming!"

Looking at Xie An awkwardly, Xie Wan didn't dare to say how he was forced back then!

Hearing his brother say this, Xie An didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a bit happy, because his brother back then was truly someone who didn't understand anything, only knowing how to talk eloquently; now it seemed, at the very least, he knew how to do practical things!

"Scribe Xie, Scribe Xie, I want to write a letter to my mother, how do I write these words again?"

!

Just as Xie An and Xie Wan were chatting, a Red Liang Army soldier walked over.

"Oh, you're talking about this, I'll come right away!"

Looking at his brother sitting at the table discussing letter writing with the soldier, Xie An couldn't help but fall silent.

Because his brother in the past was high and mighty; now, he had also learned to treat ordinary people with courtesy?

Revealing a smile, Xie An didn't know why, but he felt the Northern Ming wasn't as terrifying as he thought.

Half a month later, Jiankang.

Just as the court officials were still discussing moving the capital, the Great Ming's troops had already arrived at the city walls.

Gazing at the golden banner fluttering in the wind, many Eastern Jin generals revealed fearful expressions.

Riding out, Zhang Cheng looked at the "Jin" character above and immediately raised the long halberd in his hand and roared, "Great Ming is invincible!"

"Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty!"

Emitting a neat roar, the Red Liang Army units all raised the long spears in their hands.

"Soldiers are invincible!"

Shouting again, Zhang Cheng's arm couldn't help but point forward.

"Great Ming is invincible, Great Ming is invincible!"

The mountains and rivers shook, and the soldiers moved forward neatly.

"Break the Jin and return home, unify the mountains and rivers!"

Roaring hysterically, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but turn his head and roar.

"Unify the mountains and rivers!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, only to see the soldiers become even more boiling, immediately pushing the siege equipment forward.

Feeling the heroic spirit before them, the Eastern Jin soldiers were scared to the point of trembling, because could anyone truly resist such an army?

"It's over, it's over!"

Looking at the scene below in disbelief, Sima Dan's face turned pale.

Because he knew that his life as a puppet emperor was coming to an end, and Zhang Cheng definitely wouldn't let their clan go.

After all, they lost the Northern territory and handed it over to the Hu people, while they themselves "crossed south with their clothes and hats."

And to put it nicely, this was crossing south with clothes and hats; to put it bluntly, this was abandoning their own compatriots. What difference did this have from Zhao Jiumei?

"City broken, Sima clan, leave no one, young or old!"

Turning his head to look at Zhang Hao beside him, Zhang Cheng spoke coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Hao will definitely obey the decree!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Zhang Hao immediately drew the long sword at his waist.
