Chapter 62: Sweetness

And Liu Ru and Ruan Lizhen in Nanjing City also smelled a strong smell of conspiracy.

Although they didn't know what the Qing army was trying to plan until now, and they could only get access to the bits and pieces of information on the periphery of this big conspiracy, they already understood that the Qing army in Jiangnan could not defeat Liu Yongxi, the king of Yue, head-on, so they could only take risks and take the wrong way.

But this is what Liu Ru is and Ruan Lizhen are most worried about, ZTE's career has reached the most critical moment, if there is any accident at this time that causes ZTE's career to give up halfway, it will definitely make them hate for life.

It's a pity that they can only get a little bit of information, so Liu Ru is a little anxious: "Men can't be counted on at a critical moment, I asked him to inquire about things clearly, but when he sees the Qing official, it's like a mouse seeing a cat, and he can't get any important news, how could I think that he Qian Qianyi is a strange man in the world!" ”

Liu Ru and Qian Qianyi still can't inquire about many important news, and it is even more difficult for Ruan Lizhen to be under house arrest in Chengyi Bo Mansion now.

Although there are many guests in the Sincere Bo Mansion, the information that Ruan Lizhen can access is still very limited, and this is still the top secret that the Manchurian nobles are not allowed to leak, so Ruan Lizhen has not heard anything until now.

Ruan Lizhen and Liu Ru originally hoped to pin their hopes on Ruan Dacheng, but they didn't expect this Ruan Dacheng to be an extremely ruthless figure, although he had arrived in Nanjing, and he was particularly active in front of Duoduo, Haoge and Hong Chengchou, and became a big celebrity in front of the Manchurian aristocracy, but he always refused to come to visit this daughter under house arrest, as for the reason, it was naturally the special relationship between Ruan Lizhen and Liu Yongxi, so Ruan Lizhen has not been able to find a chance.

But since Ruan Dacheng is so ruthless, Ruan Lizhen still thought of a way: "It seems that we have to mess up the water first, my father just offered a lot of ideas to King Yu and King Su to pacify Zhejiang, we can help push it and help my father get a ten strategies for pacifying Zhejiang, as long as the water is mixed, it will be convenient for us to inquire about the news!" ”

Although Ruan Dacheng is only good at talking on paper, he is indeed a top expert on paper, otherwise he would not have become the secretary of the military department in the Hongguang Dynasty, and after the fall of the Hongguang Dynasty, he still single-handedly persuaded Fang Guoan with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, and he is now very open in Duoduo, Haoge and Hong Chengchou.

But Ruan Dacheng's conspiracy and strategy against Yue Ming have always been kept secret, and everyone doesn't know how many ruthless tricks Ruan Dacheng has made, and now Ruan Lizhen is ruthless to let Ruan Dacheng get on fire.

Liu Ru thought about it and felt that this was a good idea: "This is a good idea, we have to make this matter a hot spot in the city, and then we can let Qian Qianyi push it!" ”

If it was Liu Ru in the past, she could only rely on Qian Qianyi's ability to move, but because of Liu Yongxi's high evaluation of her, as well as the special friendship between her and Zhu Meier and Li Xiangjun, the intelligence system of the Yue Ming court provided all the help she could, and she had become an important figure in the underground anti-Qing forces in Nanjing, and as long as she gave an order, many people would carry out her orders.

Therefore, Liu Ru has already made up her mind to find out the truth behind this matter, and not to live up to the mountains and rivers of the Han family or the expectations of that little sincere uncle.

She felt a feeling of joy in her heart, as if she had made up her mind to chase Qian Qianyi that year.

And Liu Yongxi also smelled a hint of conspiracy, he handed Li Benshen's letter to Mrs. Xing: "Li Benshen really found a problem for me, I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" ”

Mrs. Xing's face was full of sweet smiles: "Since you don't believe it, you don't believe it, then choose not to believe it!"

During this time, Liu Yongxi spent most of his time in Huzhou, except for a trip to King Jin Fengyue, which was an extremely rare and happy time for Mrs. Xing.

Hangzhou, the provincial capital, is the political center of the Yue Ming Dynasty, so the Empress of the Prison and the Princess of the Prison State spend most of their time in Hangzhou to deal with government affairs, and occasionally come to Huzhou to visit the soldiers and get together with Liu Yongxi by the way.

It is precisely because of this rare happy time that Mrs. Xing is now more delicate than Huajiao, and she speaks with a hint of sweetness: "Although we have been fighting for Li Benshen, we have won many battles without Li Benshen's support, Li Benshen must first be sincere if he wants to do his best for the court!"

Although Li Benshen is Gao Jie's nephew, and Mrs. Xing is also a little related, but Mrs. Xing does not have much affection for Li Benshen, when she was in Gao Jie's camp, Li Benshen was the most unkind among the arrogant soldiers, and often let her not get off the stage, and when fighting for Gao Jie's inheritance, Li Benshen made the most trouble, and wanted to tear Mrs. Xing apart.

Since there is such a past, Mrs. Xing naturally will not say good things for Li Benshen, but Liu Yongxi is entangled: "The reason why I don't think I believe it or don't believe it is because Li Benshen is too sincere!"

Mrs. Xing also sneered after reading the letter: "Li Benshen is indeed too sincere, and he is Liyang City and thousands of high-ranking generals, I am moved, but I always feel that Li Benshen's words are too beautiful!" ”

According to Li Benshen's conviction, the current Li Benshen has regained his freedom and was sent by Duoduo to sit in Liyang, and Li Benshen, who has experienced a period of house arrest for no reason, has made up his mind to lead the troops and the entire Liyang city to the Yue Ming Dynasty.

But now he only has a few hundred personal soldiers in Liyang, and the main force of the defenders is Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku, in addition to which there are hundreds of Eight Banners Army in charge of monitoring, so he hopes that Liu Yongxi can send troops to respond to the Liyang uprising.

For Liu Yongxi, Liyang City and thousands of Gaojie's old troops in the city are temptations that cannot be refused, once Li Benshen gets into trouble, the Ming army will obviously have an advantage, but for Mrs. Xing's so-called "Li Benshen said too beautifully" Liu Yongxi is deeply sympathetic: "And Li Benshen came over, it is actually not a good thing!"

Mrs. Xing knew what Liu Yongxi meant, Li Benshen was the strongest and most senior in Gaojie's old generals, and Liu Yongxi was an outsider who fell from the sky in a sense, fortunately, Duoduo solved more than a dozen Gaojie old generals, including Yang Chengzu and Guo Hu, and Xing Shengping and Chen Yuan were not big names in Gaojie's camp, so Gaojie's old department had to admit that Liu Yongxi and Mrs. Xing were their new masters.

But Li Benshen came over and the situation was different, although it was not possible to talk about digging Liu Yongxi's corner, but many of Gao Jie's old departments would unconsciously move closer to Li Benshen, and even form a "Li Benshen system" This is a worrying problem, so Mrs. Xing completely agrees with Liu Yongxi's opinion: "This matter must be thought before acting, and it can only be done after it is completely clear, as long as Azig does not advance eastward, time is on our side!"

Liu Yongxi nodded, and Mrs. Xing said again: "It doesn't matter if Azig goes eastward in a big way, I have already contacted Huguang, but I didn't expect us to want to contact Huguang, and Huguang also wanted to contact us, He Tengjiao didn't take them seriously at all, and used the opportunity to completely eliminate them by taking advantage of Zhao'an, and there was an unexpected surprise." ”

Liu Yongxi asked casually: "What unexpected surprise?" ”

The smile on Mrs. Xing's face became heavier and heavier: "You'll know when the time comes!" ”

Liu Yongxi was in a good mood: "That's good, but not only to get in touch with Huguang, but also to use these hundreds of thousands of thieves!"

Although the remnants of the Dashun Army played a role not as good as the Great Western Army in the entire history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the main reason was that the remnants of the Dashun Army did not have a unified leadership core, and it was the remnants of the Dashun Army that insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty to the last moment.

Even if the Dashun army could not be incorporated into the Yue Ming system, as long as they could attack Jingzhou like the loyal battalion and complete the task of containing Azig's troops, it would be a miracle.

But at this moment, the Azig division has crossed the Jiujiang River to Anqing, although there are several rebel armies and righteous divisions along the road, but under the pressure of the tide of Qing troops, even if they are not annihilated by the whole army, they have suffered heavy losses.

But the greatest pressure is the Jiangxi governor Wang Sunfan's department, Wang Sunfan has high hopes for this sortie on the Yangtze River, and is even ready to fight Nanchang to recover the whole province, but he never thought that Azig would actually sweep upstream, although the Ming army had an intelligence advantage on the battlefield in Jiangxi and began to retreat as soon as possible, but this is also the biggest blow that Wang Sunfan has suffered since he sent troops.

The more than a dozen county towns that the Ming army had finally taken were now all lost, not to mention, and even forced to withdraw from the three county towns that had been controlled by the Ming army before gaining a firm foothold, and in this series of actions, the Ming army in Jiangxi lost nearly 2,000 people, including many veterans who followed Wang Sunfan into Jiangxi together, which made Wang Sunfan feel extremely distressed.

Fortunately, the Jinsheng Department of Huizhou Mansion had already sent a table to Zhejiang, so after learning that Azig was advancing eastward, he sent nearly a thousand people to help, and Azig's main target was not Wang Sunfan, so he could only hold his ground, he could only say to Jiang Tianyi, who came to support: "The Azig army is mighty, and there are at least 100,000 people, so Jin Shangshu and the Marquis of Tianmen must be careful!"

Jiang Tian nodded and said, "The Marquis of Tianmen has already launched a defensive line along Xiliang Mountain!"

But Jiang Tianyi also had a feeling of black clouds overpowering the city.

Although Xing Shengping has an army of 20,000, Jin Sheng's righteous army also has tens of thousands of usable soldiers, and Wang Sunfan also has tens of thousands of people, but the real main force is only Xing Shengping's 20,000 people, and Jin Sheng and Jiang Tianyi have no idea whether Xing Shengping can block the offensive of Azig's 100,000 army on the front line of Xiliang Mountain.

After all, this Tianmen Marquis Xing Shengping has never experienced such a vicious battle in his life!
