From Fuzhou all the way to the north, through Shaowufu, you will enter the boundary of Jiangxi.

According to the established plan, Geng Jimao did not rush to Nanchang, but slowly advanced on the front line of Jianchang Mansion and Fuzhou Mansion.

Shang Kexi entered Jiangxi from Guangdong through Ganzhou, and then arrived in Ji'an from Ganzhou to meet Geng Jimao.

After the two joined forces, they marched into Nanchang, so that both sides could accept it.

has already suffered a dark loss, Geng Jimao naturally can't make wedding dresses for others anymore.

Shang Kexi, a bad old man, don't look at his age, but he really has a lot of crooked thoughts, and Geng Jimao naturally has to be on guard.

In this battle, Geng Jimao can be said to have pulled out his old book.

In addition to the 30,000 soldiers and horses who stayed in Fujian, he took almost all the soldiers who could fight with him.

Paying such a large capital is naturally to earn interest.

And this interest is the city of Nanjing.

Geng Jimao felt that the timing of his dispatch was perfect, and with Shi Lang accompanying him, this battle was not to say that he was nine out of ten, but he was still sure of seven or eight points.

In fact, Geng Jimao also knew very well that with his current strength, he could not really fight against the Qing court, and he took Nanjing just to express a gesture to the Qing court, telling the Qing court that only he Geng Jimao could fight against the Ming army now. Everyone else is a bunch of waste.

As long as the Qing court sees it, it will naturally try its best to win over Geng Jimao. After all, Nanjing is better in the hands of Geng Jimao than in the hands of the Ming army.

In this way, Geng Jimao can at least become Wu Sangui's second, and the territory under his control is far from being comparable to Wu Sangui's poor mountains and bad waters.

The best situation is a three-point world.

The Ming, Qing, and Geng Jimao maintained this situation, and no one took action easily.

"Lord Wang, the front is Fuzhou Mansion."

Shi Lang's sudden voice made Geng Jimao withdraw from his thoughts.

"Huh? So fast? Passing on the king's order, the whole army set up camp in Fuzhou first. Don't march anymore. ”

There was no way, Shang Kexi had a farther way to send troops than Geng Jimao, and Geng Jimao could only stop and wait for him.

But as things stand, everything is going well.

At least Geng Jimao did not see any signs of a large number of Ming troops.

It should be said that the entire Jiangxi defense is very empty, and the Ming army stationed in Nanchang must be concentrated in Nanchang Prefecture, and as for the peripheral prefectures and counties, there should not be many soldiers and horses together.

"Honorable Order!"

Shi Lang hugged his fists, then turned to leave.

This Geng Jimao army plus Shi Lang's pro-army totaled 100,000 people.

An army of 100,000 marched like a swarm of locusts, and there was no grass growing at all.

Shi Lang actually thought about attacking Nanjing by sea, but the shadow left by the previous painful experience was too profound. Until now, he had not been able to erase it from his head completely.

Besides, Geng Jimao insisted on attacking Nanjing by land through Jiangxi, and Shi Lang couldn't slap Geng Jimao in the face, so he had to follow his wishes.

But that's fine, they can also grab a lot of food and money along the way, which can be used as a subsidy for military salaries.

Although the Geng family is not short of money, they will not dislike having more money.

The soldiers received the looted food and silver, and the desire to fight would also increase a lot.

So along the way, both Geng Jimao and Shi Lang connived at the looting of the soldiers, but they only suffered those people, and there were no particles left that were robbed by the chaotic army, and they wanted to cry without tears.

Shi Lang naturally would not suggest attacking the capital city of Fuzhou.

Their target is only Nanjing, and even Nanchang City can be given up without fighting.

The soldiers are fast, and only by taking Nanjing quickly before the Ming army finds out can they sit back and relax.

Otherwise, if the Ming army senses that something is wrong and kills a horse pistol, it will be bad.

The place where Shi Lang ordered the camp was quite a distance away from the capital city of Fuzhou, so he was not worried about the sudden attack of the Ming army.

Of course, Shi Lang didn't think that the Ming army in Fuzhou City would take the initiative to go out of the city at this time, which was simply looking for death by hitting stones with eggs.

The soldiers slowly set up their tents as ordered, and then placed some deer and firewood on the periphery of the camp.

They're really just putting on a show because they know in their hearts that they're safe.

Burying the pot to cook is the most important thing, and filling the stomach is more important than anything else.

Just as the sky was getting dark and the smoke was rising, a cloud of yellow dust suddenly rolled up in the distance.

Shi Lang instinctively became vigilant, looking at this formation, it must be a large army.

Not to mention that there are more people than them, but it will certainly not be less.

Although Shi Lang felt that the possibility of the Ming army was very low, he still ordered the whole army to prepare for battle for the sake of insurance.

When the other party got closer, Shi Lang clearly saw the other party's flag.

It turned out to be Shang Jiajun!

Shi Lang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

King Pingnan, King Pingnan, if you don't go to Ji'an Mansion, what are you going to do from Fuzhou?

Isn't that the same as a long detour?

Of course, it may be a hundred and ten miles away in total, maybe Shang Kexi just wants to join forces as soon as possible?

Shi Lang told Geng Jimao the news as soon as possible.

Geng Jimao, who was eating, immediately put down his chopsticks and walked out of the camp with Shi Lang.

Although he was full of slander against Shang Kexi in his heart, since the two had reached a cooperation, they naturally had to cooperate as much as possible.

Taking Nanjing is of great benefit to both of them, so what is it to abandon the previous suspicions?

Geng Jimao put on a hat and helmet under the service of his own soldiers, and he looked very heroic in silver armor.

Shi Lang stood on his right side, deliberately standing half a position back.

However, he said that Shang Kexi led his troops to come and stopped a hundred steps away from Geng Jimao's camp.

Although he also saw the flag played by the other party, he still sent someone to confirm it first, just in case.

After confirming that it was correct, he came on horseback.

It's just that Shang Kexi stopped at a distance of dozens of paces, and shouted at Geng Jimao on his horse.

Geng Jimao secretly scolded this old thief in his heart, and he was really an old fox, and he was extremely guarded.

Is he still worried that Geng Jimao will take the opportunity to annex the army?

Facts have proved that Shang Kexi really thinks so.

He suggested that the two sides should join forces and not join forces.

The camps of the two sides should keep a certain distance from each other, but not too far, and they can help each other if necessary.

Geng Jimao sneered in his heart, and said in his heart that this old thief wouldn't even want to be a showman.

Since it's mutual use, that's fine.

Shi Lang also secretly sighed in his heart.

is worthy of being a veteran who has led the troops for many years, and the details of Shang Kexi's command of the troops are much better than Geng Jimao's.

If it weren't for Shi Lang always being by his side to give Geng Jimao advice.

As far as Geng Jimao's third-rate troop deployment method is concerned, if he really encounters an elite soldier, he is afraid that he will be beaten.

But Shang Kexi is different, regardless of whether the main force of the Ming army has a Northern Expedition or not, he has been very cautious from beginning to end.

This is the quality of a commander of the army.

It is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not.

Only in this way can the risk be minimized.

It's a pity that Shang Kexi is older, otherwise Shi Lang really wants to change the door again and vote for the Shang family.
