At the head of Jintang City, the commanders of the Tang Army, Duan Shidi and Liu Wenxiu, saw the large forces of the Qing army and the Shun army, and they were all overjoyed.

"Hmph, Lord Li is still sure of what he expected, knowing that after the defeat of the siege, these bastards must have no desire to fight, and their main force must be ready to retreat back. I really didn't expect that Master Li was thousands of miles away, but he expected it so accurately, which made Liu very impressed. Liu Wenxiu patted the pheasant with his hand and said happily.

"That is, the wisdom and foresight of King Tang are rare in the world, and he can calculate it like this, which does not make Ben Shuai strange. After all, the amount of grain and grass that more than 300,000 enemy troops have to consume every day is extremely staggering. And our army has been in this Xuanfu land strong wall clear, the entire Xuanfu North Road, as if combed with a hairgrate, that is called a clean! It is extremely difficult for the enemy to raise food on the spot. And even if they want to transport grain for thousands of miles, this journey is far away, and the consumption of manpower and materials is extremely great, and how can it last for a long time. If their main forces do not take the opportunity to retreat, how can they return? Duan Shidi sneered, and said: "However, although the main force of the enemy army has withdrawn, they will not be reconciled, and it is impossible to give up their previous achievements, they will definitely leave a considerable number of troops to surround our Jintang City, in case our army breaks through and withdraws." They are so attentive, but they are so good and miserable. ”

"Yes, look at the enemy army outside the city, the number of its soldiers and horses is still more than 100,000. The current enemy army is not enough to attack the city, and it is really more than enough to prevent us from breaking through. It's just that they don't know that their actions like this were actually expected by Lord Li, and it can be said that they just fell into Master Li's plan. Liu Wenxiu laughed.

"Well, Master Li has already said in the letter that even if the enemy's main force withdraws, I am afraid that at least more than 100,000 troops will be left to prevent our army from breaking through. Our army can take advantage of this and continue to hold the city, firmly holding on to the enemy troops and horses besieging the city outside. Anyway, I have plenty of food in Jintang City, so I can patiently deal with the enemy. Our army can hold more than 100,000 enemy troops on the Xuanfu North Road, but it can also create favorable conditions for our army to move southeast from the mountain to eliminate the Hongguang puppet court and seize the entire south of the Yangtze River. Lord Li's clever calculation, the rogues and the Tartars are afraid that they don't know that they are actually in the middle of it. In the general's opinion, perhaps after a short period of time, the soldiers and horses of the sixth and seventh towns that our army had already trained in Shandong would begin to move south. Duan Shidi looked thoughtful, and his fingers kept tapping on the green bricks on the city wall.

He was right, the war in the northwest was now a little off, but in the southern part of Shandong, it was a busy scene of war preparations.

Up to now, after several months of intense training, all kinds of ordnance, equipment, grain and grass have been prepared, and Li Xiao immediately ordered that the sixth town be transferred from Dengzhou to Tielongcheng in Shanxian County, and the seventh town from Dengzhou to Andongwei in Shandong, each of which is on standby.

These two towns are fully manned, and the first target they want to eliminate is Liu Liangzuo's troops who are stationed in Xuzhou Prefecture and Huai'an Prefecture in Nanzhili.

At this time, Liu Liangzuo was named Guangchangbo by the Hongguang Puppet Dynasty, awarded the rank of Huaixu General Soldier, with 100,000 soldiers, and was stationed in Xuzhou and Huai'an, which can be described as full of ambition and strong strength.

And he is located at the junction of Nanzhili and Shandong, and he just happened to block the Tang army's southward movement, so he naturally became the first target of Li Xiao's elimination.

After the soldiers and horses of the two towns gathered in the local area and all the preparations were completed, Li Xiao ordered that the soldiers and horses of the sixth town set off from Tielong City in Shanxian County, take Feng County, Pei County, and then cross the Yellow River with the whole army and go straight to Xuzhou City.

According to Li Xiao's arrangement, the whole army did not take the land route, but boarded the ships of the naval division from Andongwei, went straight south from the sea path, and landed at Hara Port, and then the whole army marched westward, successively captured Yukou Town, Maluo Township, Suzuikou and other important places, and finally went straight to Huai'an Fucheng.

After officially completing the mobilization and arrangement of the army, Li Xiao ordered the army to set off immediately, and then went to the Jinan Palace to propose to the Chongxing Emperor Zhu Cihong to crusade against the Hongguang puppet dynasty and obtain the emperor's holy decree.

At this time, Zhu Cihong, the emperor of Chongxing, was playing in the backyard garden, and he saw Li Xiao, who was wearing a luxurious python robe and standing in front of him with a respectful look, and the originally relaxed look on his face suddenly became complicated.

In the past few days, Li Xiao has mobilized the army and transferred the soldiers and horses of the sixth and seventh towns from Dengzhou to the border of southern Lunan respectively, and he, as the emperor, has naturally heard a lot. It's just that when he saw Li Xiao dressed so formally, and came to him with a letter in his hand to ask him to make an order, he naturally knew in his heart what Li Xiao's intention was for coming this time.

After reading Li Xiao's request to use troops to the south to eliminate the Hongguang puppet court, the young emperor was even more uncomfortable.

Although the existence of the Hongguang puppet court is an extremely unpleasant thing for himself, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. However, compared with the puppet emperor who has no name in vain and all the power of the court is controlled by Li Xiao, Zhu Cihong is still faintly envious of his fat cousin who is as fat as a pig in his heart.

Although his cousin is supported by his subordinates, compared to him, there is at least a pitiful amount of imperial power, and Zhu Ciliang, the eldest son of Chongzhen and the de jure heir of the Ming Dynasty, has no real power at all, and has become a complete puppet. How could such a subtle contrast in circumstances not make the young emperor linger.

Zhu Cihong was rescued from the capital by Li Xiao, and then embraced as the emperor in Jinan, although he felt free and relaxed at first, but after half a year, this young man, who is now seventeen years old, began to gradually wake up from the initial ignorance. He has relied on Li Xiao, a powerful minister who has the power to dominate everything in the world, from the beginning of his gratitude, and gradually began to become more and more disgraceful, and he is more and more unwilling to live under Li Xiao's wings all the time, but wants to have real power and become the real helmsman of the Ming Empire.

At least, compared with the fat cousin who was as fat as a pig, he could no longer be a puppet emperor who was superficially honorable, but in fact had no real power, and could only seal and sign.

What's more, Li Xiao did not allow him to play on the streets at will on the grounds of protecting his personal safety, which made Zhu Cihong, the emperor of the rejuvenated emperor, very unhappy. Such an emperor who was almost under house arrest made Zhu Cihong inexplicably lost and sad in his heart.

Of course, after Li Xiao ascended the throne, he promised himself that after two years, he would be eighteen years old in the future, and after officially marrying a wife, he would begin to gradually hand over power to himself, but how much can he really fulfill this promise?

This question haunts the young emperor's heart from time to time, making him feel indescribably melancholy and confused when he is carefree in brocade clothes and jade food.

Zhu Cihong almost intuitively realized that if Li Xiao really wiped out all the Hongguang puppet dynasty, then, compared to his own puppet emperor, perhaps the only one who could get the greatest benefit would be Li Xiao.

After all, at that time, his power is bound to expand and expand further, so next, after Li Xiao has eliminated or integrated all the remnants of the entire Ming Dynasty into his own hands, he is afraid that there is no need for the nominal emperor to exist.

Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong even felt a little chill in his back.

Therefore, now that the Hongguang Dynasty exists, Zhu Cihong even feels that this is an effective means to balance Li Xiao. It can't be easily destroyed by Li Xiao. Anyway, the existence of this Hongguang Dynasty has nothing to do with his own puppet emperor, at most, it is not good in name.

This feeling, although it has always been only in a hazy state, still makes Zhu Cihong feel an indescribable disgust from the heart of Li Xiao's suggestion to march against Hongguang.

It's just that he, the titular puppet emperor, really has the ability and courage to reject Li Xiao, who holds the military power alone?

When the emperor was hesitating, Li Xiao couldn't help but open his mouth to report.

"Your Majesty, there are no two days in the sky since ancient times, and there are no two kings in the people. That Hongguang puppet dynasty, regardless of the emperor's order, took advantage of the south, clearly as a minister of His Majesty, and secretly sought to be self-reliant, so far it has been nearly half a year. In the places under him, the emperor can't actually get involved, and the officials appoint them, and they don't obey them at all. Such a small rebellion, Weichen wanted to immediately send troops to pacify, to correct the country, to legislate the system, but because of the previous rogues and Tartars took turns to invade the border, Shanhaiguan and Xuanfu North Road were frequently urgent, Weichen had to postpone the rebellion, temporarily Huairou policy, in order to deal with the enemy in the north with all his might. But now, the defenders of Shanhaiguan and Xuanfu North Road have lived up to His Majesty's high expectations and defeated the enemy's attacks in a row. Therefore, now that the north is Ning, and the small rebels in the south, how can they be allowed to be clowns again! Your Majesty, the minister has now selected and trained elite soldiers, and is well prepared, and he can go south with all his strength to use troops to rebel against the traitors. The minister came to perform this time, just to respectfully ask for the holy decree, obey the heavens, and go south to crusade against the rebellion with the momentum of the heavenly soldiers. Weichen also hoped that the emperor would give him permission to lead the army to advance quickly to eliminate the ministers and unify the country. Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, if it succeeds, the world will be very fortunate and the people will be very lucky. ”

Listening to Li Xiao's long words, Zhu Ciliang squeezed out a stiff smile on his face, but he was nervously thinking about how to reply to him in his heart.

He thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile: "King Tang is in charge of the country, and I am very relieved. It's just that the northwest is Ning, everything is rough, and now he has to use troops to go south immediately, is the Tang King too hard, and he is too careful? ”

"Definitely." Li Na immediately replied: "The opportunity to use the troops should be decided, now that our army has thwarted the joint offensive of the Liukou and the Tartars in the northwest, the morale is great, the soldiers are sharp, and Jintang City should be safe for a long time." Taking advantage of this opportunity of tranquility in the north, this is the best time to use troops in the south, and Encore can easily miss it. Besides, even if Weichen promised to serve the country, how could he not work hard. I also hope that the emperor will not hesitate and make a holy decree quickly. ”

Looking at Li Xiaojiong's intense and oppressive gaze, Zhu Cihong, the emperor of rejuvenation, his body trembled slightly for no reason.

He knew that Li Xiao had said this, and even if he was dissatisfied with his expedition to the Hongguang Imperial Court, no matter how much he had a complaint, he could only nod and agree. Otherwise, Li Xiao would not take him as an emperor seriously, and if he sent troops on his own, he would actually only have a dry stare.

An inexplicable sense of humiliation rose from Zhu Cihong's heart, and the smile on his face became more and more stiff, but he could only reply with a long sigh: "Aiqing is so hard at work and is not afraid of hard work, which is really a blessing for the people of the Ming Dynasty." Okay, I'm right, Aiqing can immediately send troops to the south, crusade against the puppet dynasty, get rid of the national thieves, and unify my great tomorrow, with the right country, with Zhang Gangmu! ”

Li Xiao bowed to the chief: "Weichen obeys!" But please rest assured, the good news of Hou Chen is! ”

Subsequently, Li Xiao ordered Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen and others, to follow his instructions, handwritten to discuss the rebellion, widely distributed to the world, salty and knowledgeable.

The text reads as follows:

Fengtian carries the text of the rebellion

The Tang King of the Ming Dynasty, the prince and the prince, the president of the world and the master of land and water, Xingming rebelled against the generalissimo Li, and told the military attachés and military officials of the world to know that this king was deeply talking about the Ming Dynasty Shijue, and the soldiers and horses of the whole country were specially issued to discuss the rebellion as follows.
