Zuo Liangyu gave an order, and the soldiers immediately took action, took out the fire fold and ignited the dry branches and threw them at the boat.

Because Zuo Liangyu was originally a ship prepared for an army of 200,000, there were several thousand, and now he was about to burn more than half of Zuo Liangyu's thoughts in one go.

But there is no way, if he doesn't burn these boats, it will be left to the pursuing Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong. Zuo Liangyu would never make such a mistake.

Some of the soldiers of the Left Army, who had arrived one after another, were terrified when they saw the boats in the bay blazing with fire.

How could a good one ignite such a big fire?

Seeing Zuo Liangyu's ship set sail, they finally understood.

Dashuai, Dashuai, this is going to abandon them!

The soldiers ran desperately on the banks of the river, trying to catch up with the ships that set sail. But how could this be, the distance between them and the boat became farther and farther, and in a short time they could only see a black dot.

...

...

After receiving the holy decree, Huang Degong immediately dispatched troops to Jiujiang, Jiangxi.

For him, the trip to Dengzhou was a disgrace, and he could never allow such a disgrace to happen again.

On the contrary, he wants to take this opportunity to make a shame and prove that his Huang Degong is not worse than Gao Jie, and he is no worse than the generals of the Shence Army!

With such an idea, Huang Degong's desire to fight was very strong, and he ordered a rapid march all the way from Luzhou, and rushed to arrive before Zuo Liangyu advanced into Jiujiang. This gives you plenty of time to prepare.

Huang Degong has always looked down on Zuo Liangyu.

This guy is deeply favored by the emperor, but he has fled repeatedly, and now he is committing rebellion under the guise of the Qing monarch's side, and he can't be forgiven no matter what.

Huang Degong was born in the old Yongwu battalion of the Chongzhen Dynasty and was very loyal to the Zhu Ming royal family. He couldn't wait to catch Zuo Liangyu and then peel his skin and cramp, and torture him in every way.

Finally, after several days of rapid marching, Huang Degong came to the outside of Jiujiang City before dark.

Governor Yuan Jixian received another decree at this time, knowing that Huang Degong was coming for reinforcements.

But for the sake of safety, he still asked Huang Degong for an order from the military department.

After checking that the appointment order was correct, Yuan Jixian ordered the city gate to be opened to allow Huang De's power department to enter the city.

Huang Degong restrained military discipline very well, and the soldiers did not loot and commit adultery after entering the city.

Yuan Jixian was very satisfied and praised Huang Degong a few words.

"Yuan Junmen, don't boast anymore, my Lao Huang is a rough man, he only knows how to go into battle to kill the enemy and serve the emperor, and he is too lazy to take care of other things."

After saying that, he waved his hand and laughed loudly.

Yuan Jixian stroked his beard lightly and said, "Haha, Mr. Huang is really a wonderful person." The old man pinched his fingers and calculated, this time the left thief will definitely be captured by Mr. Huang! ”

"Oh?"

Huang Degong's eyes lit up and said: "Yuan Junmen also divination? ”

Yuan Jixian bowed slightly: "I know a little bit about one or two." ”

"That Zuo Liangyu is rebellious and openly rebels, and everyone will be punished. With my old Huang's character, I can't wait to behead him. However, this kind of great rebellion should be escorted to Beijing and handed over to His Majesty's Holy Judgment. ”

Of course, Huang Degong would not really kill Zuo Liangyu in front of the battle. Capture him alive and sacrifice it to His Majesty is much more credit than sending a head.

With Huang Degong's strong army, Yuan Jixian finally has a bottom in his heart.

He asked in a harmonious voice, "I wonder how many people Huang Zongbing brought this time?" ”

Huang Degong said in a deep voice: "30,000 people." ”

He brought most of the elite this time, leaving only 10,000 or 20,000 people to garrison Luzhou and other places.

Yuan Jixian nodded when he heard this: "With these 30,000 people here, there is absolutely no possibility for the left thief to escape." The Governor has ordered the sailors to block the river, and it will be impossible for a single board to float across the river. ”

Huang Degong was overjoyed when he heard this.

He really didn't expect that Yuan Jixian still had a sailor in his hand.

In this way, it is impossible for Zuo Liangyu to run away even if he wants to.

Unless he abandons the ship and lands.

In that case, it was exactly what Huang Degong wanted, and he couldn't wait to face Zuo Liangyu head-on.

"Haha, with Yuan Junmen's words, my Lao Huang is relieved. The affairs on the river will be handed over to Yuan Junmen, and the affairs on the land will be on my Lao Huang! ”

Yuan Jixian was not too angry about Huang Degong's casualness.

If it had been placed more than ten years ago, if a general soldier dared to speak to the governor like this, he would inevitably be dragged down and beaten with a board. If the governor is in a hurry, maybe it is possible to behead the capital.

Wasn't He Renlong beheaded by Sun Chuanting? That was just a few years ago.

But now the situation is very different. Military generals are in power, civilian officials are weak, and if you want to make political achievements, you must cooperate with military generals.

Just like this time, if Huang Degong didn't come to reinforce Yuan Jixian, it would be impossible to really stop Zuo Liangyu on his own.

What's more, Huang Degong was added as a marquis, not only has the title of chief soldier, but can already be changed to the ranks of martial arts, and to some extent can be on an equal footing with Yuan Jixian.

In this regard, Yuan Jixian's approach is to turn a blind eye, as long as Huang Degong does not go too far, he will not care.

Everything is based on the overall situation, and it depends on military generals to fight the world. When the world is calm, won't His Majesty the Emperor still have to rely on these civil officials to govern the country?

"Mr. Huang has worked hard all the way, first rest for two days, and wait for the left thief to escape and capture him in one fell swoop!"

"Haha, then I'll borrow Yuan Junmen's auspicious words!"

...

...

"Father, twenty miles ahead is Jiujiang!"

After entering the Yangtze River from Fushui, Zuo Liangyu and his son completely got rid of the pursuit of Ma Jinzhong and Jin Shenghuan, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Zuo Liangyu sighed and said: "For my father's negligence, I lost more than 100,000 troops in vain." ”

As soon as he thought of this, Zuo Liangyu felt a pain in his flesh.

Forget the nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses who are not descendants, what really makes Zuo Liangyu sad is that most of the soldiers and horses in the fourth battalion of his descendants are also folded in Xingguo Prefecture.

In this way, the army around him is only 30,000 people, which is really a loss, and he doesn't even know his own mother.

"Why should my father lament, with my father's prestige, if you want to recruit troops, you can't catch it? That Governor Yuan is also a person who understands current affairs, and if his father talks with him with good words, he will definitely not embarrass his father. ”

Zuo Liangyu smiled bitterly: "I hope so." However, at this time and that time, now there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of my father, and there are pursuers to pursue, I only hope that Governor Yuan will remember the love of the year and let our father and son go. ”

Zuo Mengeng's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "Why doesn't Father put the responsibility on Jin and Ma?" ”

Zuo Liangyu frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Zuo Mengeng said in a harmonious voice: "The son is saying that the father can say that the Qingjun side is the personal behavior of Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong. The father did not know about it before. When the father found out, he tried his best to stop it, but unfortunately Jin and Ma had already prepared to burn Wuchang City, and plundered all the way down the river... The father came to Jiujiang with troops loyal to the imperial court and asked for the assistance of Governor Yuan. ”
