"Squeak...... Creak...... Squeak......"

The sound of heavy footsteps sounded slowly and firmly, Yang Feng strolled on the streets of Taihu County, looking around at the ruined streets around him, his mood was a little dazed for a while.

After the war, Taihu County can be described as full of devastation, there are few pedestrians on the street at all, Yang Feng walking on the street can hear faint cries from the surrounding houses from time to time, and white flags hanging at the door are everywhere.

Looking at this scene, Yan Di, who was following behind Yang Feng, couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the older generation said that they would rather be a peace dog than a chaotic person, and the ancients would not deceive me!" ”

Gou Xing Ma also sighed, "The harm caused by the Liukou is too great, Grandpa Guo, the last general always feels a little uneasy in his heart." ”

Yang Feng glanced at him, he understood what he meant by waking up the horse.

With the strength of the Jiang Ning Army, it can actually control the harm of the Liukou within a range, and a large part of the reason why the Liukou can flow around the Jiangnan so happily now is the result of the deliberate guidance of the Jiangning Army, otherwise it is not too difficult to destroy this Liukou with Yang Feng's current strength.

You must know that Jinling is not far from here, as long as Yang Feng transfers the remaining three battalions of Jinling, under the heavy encirclement of 40,000 or 50,000 troops, Li Zicheng will not be able to fly away even if he has wings, and the reason why they make such a big move is just to clean up Jiangnan with his hands.

Originally, this plan had been approved by several generals such as Gou Xingma of the Jiangning Army, but after seeing the tragic situation in Taihu County, Gou Xingma's heart couldn't help but be a little shaken.

Seeing the unbearable look on Gou Xingma's face, Yang Feng sighed secretly in his heart, this Gou Xingma's heart is still not hard enough, but he didn't say anything, people's personalities are innate, and it is difficult for outsiders to change, so it is even more difficult for him to say anything.

The group continued to move forward for a while, Yang Feng stopped, and suddenly said: "Come, pass on the generals of the country, the army will rest in Taihu County for a few days, post a notice to stabilize the people, and then send someone to report to the imperial court, and ask the imperial court to send officials to Taihu County to recover here as soon as possible." ”

"Whoa!"

Gou Xingma and Yan Di glanced at each other, as the saying goes, soldiers are fast.

From a military point of view, since he had taken Taihu County, what Yang Feng had to do at this moment was to immediately let Cao Yingmao lead the cavalry battalion to Anqing Mansion to contain Li Zicheng's main force outside Anqing Mansion, and then he led the army to rush over, surround the Liukou army, and then annihilate the Liukou with absolute strength.

But Yang Feng didn't do this, but ordered the troops to be stationed here, and posted any notices to calm the people's hearts, is this planning to rob the local government of the job?

However, the two of them also understood Yang Feng's intentions, he was giving Li Zicheng time, but I don't know if this person can understand Grandpa Guo's "good intentions".

Under Yang Feng's deliberate connivance, the news of Jiangning's army's recovery of Taihu County reached Li Zicheng's ears only half a day later.

"What...... Yuan Datou and their whole army was wiped out? Is this news true? ”

Outside the Anqing Mansion, Li Zicheng, who was discussing the military situation with Li Yan, had a look of shock on his face.

"King Qiyu, it is indeed true, this is witnessed by the villain and others, the sun and moon flag of the Ming Dynasty has been hung on the head of the city of Taihu County, and the iron armor and green skin of the Jiang Ning Army can be recognized even if it turns into a gray villain!" The spy standing in front of Li Zicheng gritted his teeth.

Li Zicheng recognized this spy, who also escaped from Mengjin City with him, and was naturally no stranger to Jiang Ningjun.

Li Yan on the side then asked, "Can the Jiangning army be dispatched now?" When will I arrive in Anqing? ”

In Li Yan's opinion, since the Jiangning army has taken Taihu County, the next target must be Anqing Mansion, where their main force is located, but the spy shook his head and said: "So that the military adviser will know that the Jiangning army did not move after capturing Taihu County, but began to post notices to restore order and treat the dead and wounded people." ”

"Treat the dead and wounded?" Li Yan asked a little puzzled: "Could it be that there were a lot of casualties among the people in that battle?" It shouldn't be, didn't you say that the Jiangning army captured Taihu County in just one hour, how many people can be killed or injured in such a short time? ”

"This ......"

The spy hesitated for a moment before he spoke.

"That...... After General Yuan captured Taihu County a few days ago, he issued an order not to seal the sword for three days, so he ...... So ......"

"What?"

Li Yan's face first turned white, then turned iron blue, and said word by word: "Three...... Don't seal the knife for three days? ”

As a scholar, he understands too well what the phrase "three days without sealing the sword" represents, in history, after an army occupies a city, once the order is issued not to seal the sword, it is tantamount to a catastrophe for the people of this city, and it would be good if five of the ten people could survive.

He grabbed the spy's wrist, and his eyes showed a look that was almost murderous: "Let me ask you, how are the people in Taihu County killed or injured?" ”

The spy was frightened by Li Yan's fierce gaze, and said tremblingly, "Little ...... The villain is not very clear, no...... However, it is said that in those days, five or six thousand people were killed and injured in Taihu County, and some said that tens of thousands of people were killed or injured. ”

Li Yan was stunned for a long time before he suddenly looked up to the sky and shouted: "Yuan Datou, you deserve to die!" ”

After that, his eyes were black, and the whole person fell straight backwards, so frightened that Li Zicheng on the side hurriedly reached out to help him.

"Quick...... Call the doctor...... Hurry up ......"

Soon, a doctor hurried over with a medicine box, pricking and pinching people, and finally woke Li Yan up.

After a long time, Li Yan woke up slowly, and when he saw Li Zicheng's first words: "King Chuang, we can't wait any longer, we must immediately attack Anqing Mansion in advance, otherwise it will be too late." ”

Li Zicheng is also a smart person, and after a little pondering, he immediately understood what Li Yan meant.

These days, he has been letting people go around preaching new ideas, telling the people of Jiangnan how good the army under the command of King Chuang is, and the slogan of not paying food for King Chuang is even louder, but if the tragedy in Taihu County spreads, this will undoubtedly ruin the efforts they have made these days, and the people of the entire Jiangnan will regard them as enemies, and no matter how much they want to attack that city, they will be desperately resisted by everyone in the local area, and Anqing Mansion is naturally no exception.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng also hated in his heart, that Yuan Datou was really not enough to succeed, if he stood in front of him at this moment, Li Zicheng would not hesitate to cut this bastard.

"Someone, call all the leaders at once, and start a meeting immediately!"
