At the same time that the Sixth Army under Jiujiang City and King Fu were engaged in a fierce battle.

King Lu, who was in the north of the Yangtze River in Nanjing City, was also well prepared, and more than 200,000 troops gathered on the Yangtze River and were about to cross the river to attack Nanjing City.

In the palace, Peng Cheng, the commander of the Jinyi guard, was just about to step into the imperial study, and a guard walked in quickly before him.

"Newspaper"

"Emperor Qi, King Lu's rebel army is ready to cross the river, Shen Jingchao, the commander of the Yangtze River Naval Division, asked for an order to intercept the half-crossing, and Admiral Shen said that he is willing to make a military order, and he will not let one of the King Lu rebels cross the Yangtze River moat, and swear to protect the safety of the Beijing Division!"

Shen Jingchao? Zhu Ci had seen this person a few times, and he also knew the strength of the Yangtze River Water Division.

As the most important force to guard the Yangtze River moat, since the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Nanjing, it has strengthened the strength of the Yangtze River Naval Division several times. From only a few hundred boats and more than 10,000 people in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, to nearly 2,000 large and small ships and more than 40,000 sailors, if they go all out to hold the Yangtze River moat, it is indeed unlikely that the 200,000 rabble of King Lu want to cross the Yangtze River.

"Your Majesty!" Peng Cheng also knelt on one knee at this time, and the two sides held a secret fold.

"Bring it on!" Zhu Ci said.

Suddenly, an attendant presented the secret fold to Zhu Cijiao.

Zhu Ci opened it and saw that it happened to be about Shen Jingchao, the Yangtze River sailor.

"Shen Jingchao really didn't disappoint me, he wasn't bewitched by King Lu!" Zhu Ci staggered and laughed.

It turned out that during this period of time, King Lu had secretly sent people to contact Shen Jingchao several times, hoping to rebel against the Yangtze River sailors, let his army cross the river safely, and assist him in attacking Nanjing City.

And Shen Jingchao was not tempted, not only severely reprimanded King Lu, scolded King Lu for being a thief, and everyone was punished, but also sent all the people sent by King Lu to contact him to Ying Tianfu, at this time, Ying Tianfu Yin must have come to report the matter!

"Although Shen Jingchao likes to make small profits, he can still distinguish big things, even if he has won my heart, I am very relieved!" Zhu Ci said meaningfully.

When Peng Cheng heard this, he smiled slightly, he had been with the emperor for two years, and when he heard the emperor say this, he immediately knew that Shen Jingchao had finally passed the emperor's assessment this time, and he might soon be cited by the emperor as a confidant, and the future was limitless, since this was the case, he could no longer prevent his daughter from contacting Shen Jingchao's son.

It turned out that Peng Cheng had a daughter who fell in love with Shen Jingchao's son at first sight two months ago, and the two had private contact, which had reached the point where they would not marry, and it was too late for Peng Cheng to find out, when the emperor was asking him to send Jinyi Wei secret agents to monitor Shen Jingchao's everything, and Shen Jingchao often coveted some small profits, although he never made any big mistakes, but he never got the emperor's approval, in that case, Peng Cheng naturally didn't want his daughter to get too close to Shen Jingchao's son, In case Shen Jingchao lost his sacred heart that day and affected his daughter, now Shen Jingchao has a clear distinction in major matters, and he has not been tempted by the anti-army, and finally passed the emperor's assessment, and Peng Cheng can be regarded as completely relieved.

"Your Majesty, I heard Shen Jingchao's request for war just now, presumably with the strength of the Yangtze River Water Division, the rebel army will definitely not be able to cross the Yangtze River, the emperor can" Peng Cheng suddenly said, faintly saying something good for Shen Jingchao.

Zhu Ci hesitated and glanced at Peng Cheng inexplicably.

Peng Cheng's heart sank, and when he realized that he had overstepped, he immediately shut up.

"It's not necessary, pass the order, let Shen Jingchao not attack, and let King Lu's army cross the river!" Zhu Ci hesitated to ask the guard to give the order.

"Yes!" The guard immediately went to give the order.

Peng Cheng looked suspicious, but because he had overstepped his duty for a while because of his carelessness just now, he couldn't bear to speak.

Zhu Ci glanced at Peng Cheng, nodded with secret satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Although the army of King Lu has more than 200,000, it is just a group of rabble, if they don't cross the river, it will not be easy for me to destroy them, and besides, I have some plans in my heart, I don't want to kill more, and I plan to give those ordinary anti-army soldiers who can't help themselves a chance!" ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Peng Cheng understood as soon as he heard it, and immediately smiled and patted the horse.

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, Shen Jingchao received an order from King Lu to cross the river, although he did not know why, he still carried it out meticulously.

"Order, the whole army of the Navy Division is not allowed to attack without authorization, waiting for the emperor to dispatch!"

Nearly 2,000 large and small ships and 40,000 sailors were all stationed in strict garrisons.

Even, many of the warships that were originally cruising in the river were all withdrawn, and for a while, there was no trace of the sailors on the Yangtze River.

On the north bank of the Yangtze River, the Luwang rebel army is stationed.

King Lu originally heard that Shen Jingchao refused to help, and was angry and worried, but suddenly heard that the Yangtze River Sailor had evacuated and let go of the river, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

"Shen Jingchao, what do you mean by this!" King Lu frowned.

"Mr. Wu, what do you think!" King Lu looked at a white-clothed strategist beside him.

Mr. Wu also wondered, Shen Jingchao's repeated hand, although Mr. Wu was smart himself, he couldn't think of a reason for it in a short time, but the most important thing at the moment was to let the army cross the river, and nothing else mattered.

Thinking of this, Mr. Wu arched his hand to King Lu and said solemnly: "Prince, no matter what, this is a happy event at first sight, originally because Shen Jingchao refused to help, we had to prepare to cross the Yangtze River by force, and now although Shen Jingchao somehow gave up the river, it is in line with our wishes, and the opportunity cannot be lost, the prince should immediately order the army to cross the river and come to the city of Nanjing!" ”

Originally, Mr. Wu had discussed with King Lu the strategy of forcibly crossing the river, but now Shen Jingchao suddenly gave up the river, which was exactly what they wanted, no matter what, King Lu and Mr. Wu would not let go of this rare opportunity.

"But that's how it should be!" King Lu immediately nodded in agreement.

"Someone, order the army to start crossing the river immediately!" At the same time as King Lu gave the order, he stood up and walked out of the big tent with Mr. Wu.

"Woo woo"

"Knock Knock"

The horn sounded, the war drums thundered, and the army of more than 200,000 people of King Lu gathered on the side of the Yangtze River, and began to cross the river with more than 300 boats and thousands of bamboo rafts.

The Yangtze River Sailor has been missing, and after most of King Lu's army has crossed the river, even King Lu himself has crossed the river, and the Yangtze River Sailor is still missing, no matter what the reason, King Lu and Mr. Wu have put down their worries, and are ready to lead the army to the city of Nanjing!
