Chapter 130 Suppressing the Rebellion
"By the way, Wang Shouren, who is outside the south gate, can clearly see Zhu Chenhao's every move in the city!"

"When the distribution of Zhu Chenhao's troops was completed, Wang Shouren said that Zhu Chenhao will lose this battle!"

"At that time, his lieutenant asked him why the general was so confident? But Wang Shouren didn't answer the lieutenant's question. Instead, he gave the order to start attacking from the south gate."

"This is about Wang Shouren's attack plan. Soon, the soldiers outside the south gate began to attack the south gate, but there was no movement from the other three gates."

"It's not that they disobeyed Wang Shouren's order not to attack, but Wang Shouren ordered them to wait for his order before attacking."

"It didn't take long for the south gate to be beaten into dust. I have to say that Zhu Chenhao's soldiers are really powerful. With only 3000 troops, they blocked the attack of Wang Shouren's [-] troops."

"Although Wang Shouren's own headquarters lost a lot, the rebels on the south gate won't get much of a prize, and the loss is also very serious!"

"However, the south gate was fought so fiercely, and the guard sent people many times to seek help from Zhu Chenhao, who guards the east gate, but guess what Zhu Chenhao said?"

"He said that Wang Shouren's attack on the south gate was just a feint. He would not really come in. His real target was the east gate, so he couldn't deploy troops there and let the south gate defenders fight hard."

"Hey, this is Zhu Chenhao guessing Wang Shouren's intention, because he knows that Wang Shouren will not fight, but at this time he suddenly attacked the south gate, but the other three gates did not make any movement."

"What does this mean? From Zhu Chenhao's point of view, Wang Shouren intentionally attacked the south gate, and wanted Zhu Chenhao to lead people to rescue the south gate, but once he left, wouldn't the east gate be empty?"

"You know, Wang Shouren has deployed 4 horses outside the east gate. As long as there is a shortage of defenders at the east gate, it will be easy for 4 horses to come in."

"So that's why Zhu Chenhao didn't take anyone to rescue the South Gate. Did he guess right? Sorry, he guessed wrong, because he was completely led away by Wang Shouren."

"And Wang Shouren's real target is not the east gate, but the south gate!"

"Wang Shouren's plan is to attack the south gate first and see if Zhu Chenhao will come to rescue him from the east gate. If he doesn't come, it means his plan is half successful."

"Why do you say it's half the battle? As long as Zhu Chenhao doesn't come over, hey, Wang Shouren will order the soldiers at the east gate to attack and hold Zhu Chenhao back."

"As for my side, we are increasing our firepower to attack the South Gate. Even if Zhu Chenhao reacts, he won't be able to save the South Gate!"

"Okay, now that the matter has come to this point, Wang Shouren stopped talking too much, and sent someone to send an order for the soldiers at the east gate to attack!"

"Then how has the situation changed after Wang Shouren's operation? The situation is that it is developing completely according to his plan."

"First of all, let's talk about the east gate. With 4 people going up together, Zhu Chenhao, who has only 5000 people, can't stand it. He barely blocked the attack."

"Then what about the South Gate? How should I put it? Wang Shouren's attack went very smoothly. First, there are not many defenders at the South Gate. Second, the generals at the South Gate are not as powerful as Zhu Chenhao."

"So not long after the fight, Wang Shouren used all his strength to attack frantically, forcing the south gate defenders to ask Zhu Chenhao for help many times."

"But what's Zhu Chenhao's reaction? Speaking of which, Zhu Chenhao himself is too busy to deal with the situation at the east gate, so there's no troops to rescue him."

"In this way, when Zhu Chenhao repelled an attack after exhausting all kinds of hardships, someone came to report to him that the south gate had already fallen, and Wang Shouren had already entered."

"When Zhu Chenhao heard the news, he was stunned for a moment. At this time, he was already panicking. The loss of the south gate proved that Anqing City was already in Wang Shouren's pocket."

"Although the city is in his pocket, Zhu Chenhao is not, so when he received the news, he immediately ordered everyone to retreat to the north gate."

"Since Anqing can't stay any longer, he can only break out and find another way to survive. Will Zhu Chenhao's idea really come true?"

"No!" Teacher Miao waved his hand, his expression and movements perfectly matched the atmosphere of the story he was telling, "Zhu Chenhao, I still underestimate Wang Shouren."

"What's the matter? It turns out that after Wang Shouren entered the city, he quickly divided into two groups, went to the west gate and the north gate, and took control."

"As for the 2000 troops assigned by Zhu Chenhao, they surrendered without even fighting."

"In this way, Zhu Chenhao was forced to return to the east gate. He is now completely surrounded, and he cannot escape, so he plans to fight Wang Shouren to the end."

"But at this time, Wang Shouren ordered the soldiers to send a letter of persuasion, saying, as long as you surrender, I will keep you safe and sound."

"Zhu Chenhao, who has already been deceived by Wang Shouren once, would not listen to Wang Shouren's nonsense at this time. He tore up the letter of persuasion immediately, and then yelled at Wang Shouren as a thief."

"However! Do you feel that something is wrong when you hear my tone? That's right! Wang Shouren's surrender letter is not for Zhu Chenhao, but for his subordinates!"

"Zhu Chenhao doesn't want to live, but it doesn't mean that other people don't want to live. They don't need to sacrifice their innocent lives for Zhu Chenhao."

"Sure enough, not long after Wang Shouren's letter of persuasion was delivered, something happened to Zhu Chenhao. What happened? It turned out that his subordinates didn't want to fight anymore, so they simply tied up Zhu Chenhao and handed over to him. Give it to Wang Shouren."

"In this way, the rebellion case of King Ning, which lasted less than a month, was suppressed by Wang Shouren. It's almost time for the matter to come to an end."

"Later, Wang Shouren really kept his word. After arresting him, he was not hurt. Instead, he was locked up and planned to send him to the capital for the court to decide on its own."

"Hey, but when Wang Shouren's class teacher returned to Nanjing, he received an order from the imperial court, saying that Zhu Chenhao didn't have to escort the capital, and he could just be deposed as a commoner."

"Then although Wang Shouren was puzzled, he still followed the court's order and immediately released Zhu Chenhao. Zhu Chenhao has since become a useless person."

"Later, the court awarded rewards based on merit. Wang Shouren was awarded the title of Xinjian Bo because of his greatest contribution. He became one of the few civil servants in the entire Ming Dynasty who received a title based on military merit."

"Hearing this, do you think the matter is over? No! Time soon came to the 15th year of Zhengde..."
