Chapter Fifty-Eight: Pacifying King Ning's Rebellion
The red and gold-edged "Ming" banner rolled violently in the wind, like a giant dragon soaring in the sky, showing its powerful and fearless aura to the whole world. This majestic and powerful triumphant army was obviously celebrating in the streets of Jiangning City, Luo Ying pulled Lingyu forward a little closer, and the section of the road near the horse team was more lively and clearer!
"It's so spectacular!" Luo Ying looked at the neatly arranged team that was moving this way, her heart pounded nervously, the first thing she saw was, the question that popped up in her mind was, is Po back?
Luo Ying hooked her neck, tilting her head from time to time to look eagerly ahead. There, a heroic man with the appearance of a general was wearing red brocade and slowly walking towards a closer distance from him.
Luo Ying was distracted, and accidentally crossed the protective line, and a little official with angry eyebrows held up a sting stick and yelled at her: "Go inside, don't squeeze!
Lingyu pouted and glanced at him, hurriedly pulled Luo Ying back, and comforted her: "Miss, let's see later, what's the big deal!"
Luo Ying patted the back of her hand, smiled, and signaled that she was not angry, "I just want to see if there will be anyone I know in it." ”
As soon as she said this, of course Lingyu knew that it was Young Master Ah Bao, and seeing Luo Ying's anxious look of constantly shuttling back and forth in the sea of people, Lingyu asked the little official with a heart: "Hey, do you know what this is for?"
"What else can you do? Don't you have long eyes? This is the team of Song Kai returning to the division! What an ugly person to do a lot of weird! You are from the countryside!" the little official glared and roared so that Lingyu shuddered.
Lingyu muttered angrily: "It's just a question, as for being so fierce, what about the countryside, you haven't crossed the line, aren't you still so fierce?"
Luo Ying couldn't help laughing when she saw the upright Lingyu's angry face. When she heard that it was the team that Song Kai was returning to, she secretly felt a little more confident in her heart, and she asked a white-bearded old man beside her who was talking eloquently, "Grandpa, do you know which general's return ceremony is this for?"
The white-bearded old man turned around and said excitedly to Luo Ying: "Of course it's Lord Wang Yangming! I heard that just last night, Wang Shouren's imperial army brought King Ning's old nest in Nanchang to a pot, and this morning, King Ning's fleet returning to Beijing to enter the court was burned down on the Yangtze River, and the emperor personally went to capture him!"
"Who is Wang Shouren?" didn't find out Ah Bao, and Luo Ying's expression was a little gloomy.
"You don't know this? He is a famous scholar and a general! He has made a lot of contributions to the emperor of the current dynasty!"
Luo Ying was not interested, she asked expectantly and straightforwardly: "Then, have you heard of Li Abao? This time the imperial court also sent him to lead the troops to rehabilitate!"
"I don't know about this at all, but someone revealed earlier that in order to completely defeat the forces of Zhu Haochen, the king of Ning, the emperor launched three armies, one was secretly guarded outside the Forbidden City, one went to Anqing in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to relieve the siege, and the other was the imperial army led by Wang Shouren, which directly stabbed King Ning's palace in Nanchang! Forty-seven days, after forty-seven days of battle, this rebellion was finally put down!"
At this time, the team had already walked to the front, and the old man pointed to the Ming army who were sitting on military horses full of glory and said: "Look, this is the imperial army, behind them, it is the royal formation, not only the emperor, but all the princes, princesses, Gege, and military generals are here, and the emperor has taken this group of imperial relatives and relatives out of the city ten miles early to greet them!"
"Oh!" Hearing that King Ning's rebellion was put down, Luo Ying was naturally very happy, but it was more sad to find her Ah Bao. Luo Ying looked at it unwillingly twice, and then grabbed Lingyu's sleeve and motioned for her to go home.
A light rain was quietly falling from the sky at this time, and the speed of the procession was much faster.
The moment Luo Ying turned around, she heard the old grandfather call her in a vicissitudes of voice behind her and said: "Little girl, don't be sad, the war has been won, and the team that went to Anqing will come back soon, the person you have to wait for, as long as you believe, you will definitely be able to wait!"
"Hmm!" Luo Ying smiled and nodded, indicating that he remembered his words.
Location, Anqing.
Since ancient times, it is: "The Yangtze River is this throat sealed." "On the battlefield of swords and swords, there has always been a well-tempered theorem that has never been questioned: to capture Anqing, Nanjing is at your fingertips!
When the first imperial army led by Li Abao rushed to Anqing City, the siege had already been tightly surrounded by the main force of King Ning on all sides. Bao knows very well that Anqing, as the bridgehead of Nanjing, occupies an extremely important position geographically, especially this time, the emperor adopted the tactics of Wang Shouren to attack the west, on the surface it was to send reinforcements to the direction of Anqing with great momentum, but in fact, he sent all the main forces to Nanchang west of the Yangtze River, which was the hometown of Zhu Haochen, the king of Ning.
It is still the same old saying, only by attacking its interests and disadvantages can we be invincible! This ploy is so appropriate and timely that naturally no one doubts it.
However, four-sevenths of the troops and horses are in Jiangxi and two-sevenths are in Jiangbei, so that the key to determining the victory and defeat falls on Bao. It stands to reason that as long as Ah Bao can do his best to contain the main force of King Ning, who is preparing to focus on capturing Anqing City, then when the second team of the imperial army led by Wang Yangming completely captures the root trouble in Nanchang, he will definitely come north to support him.
In fact, whether there are reinforcements or not, Po thinks that he will do his best, and he has never been willing to pin his hopes on others. Prepare for the worst in everything, and if the other team loses miserably, you still have to fight to the death. It's better to be mentally prepared now and go all out and strive to win all the games with your own team. Besides, there are many battles in history where fewer wins are more, and this goal is not an unattainable miracle.
One day passed, two days passed, and his army was sharply reduced day by day, with insufficient food and grass, insufficient soldiers and horses, and lack of confidence, but the large and small city gates occupied by King Ning's army were broken by the Jiangbei army one by one. When the twentieth day finally came, he unexpectedly heard the soldiers running to his side with a vivid battle report in both hands and saying: "Report to the general! The battle of Nanchang was victorious, and the Jiangxi army led by Wang Yangming was rushing in the direction of Anqing at this time! The general also said that their losses this time were not small, and he hoped that we must persist and defend Anqing!"
Hearing the news, Ah Bao smiled reassuringly, this is good, the main task has been completed, I hope that I can also work this auxiliary task and strive to keep Anqing!
In the face of war, no matter which side is strong or weak, the side that is unwilling to take the initiative is doomed to failure!
We can't delay any longer, we must face up to the difficulties and treat death as if we were at home, so that we can be reborn in blood! Ah Bao looked at the magnificent enemy army dancing the flag, and his determined eyes sparkled.
"Brothers, it's the last day, as long as we hold out for another day, the second support army in Jiangxi will soon arrive! Po looked at the team of less than 300 people left behind him, and hissed to cheer for the warriors.
In an instant, the sound of the wind, the rain, the sound of gongs and drums, the sound of shouting, the sound of horses' hooves, the howls, the sound of sparks colliding with swords, and the muddy water flying everywhere and the scarlet flowing river of blood, the whole city was cried and shocked!
