When he received the news of Zheng Sen's defeat, Du Yinxi and his army were still more than a hundred miles away from Jiujiang, and when he heard the news, he immediately slowed down the pace of his march!

The 30,000 troops of Zheng Sen's department were defeated in a battle, which made the officers and soldiers of the Guanyinxi Department tremble one by one, and they were full of doubts about continuing to move forward.

Shouldn't the mob be a rabble? Why is it so powerful? The Xiangyang soldiers led by Zheng Sen had fought continuously with the thieves, and they were also considered to be the strongest army in the world, why did they defeat so simply?

Just when Du Yinxi and the staff generals were suspicious, the person sent by Zheng Sen to report the news finally came to the army and brought the details of the Battle of Jiujiang.

"It turned out that the rebel army had set a trap inside Jiujiang City, and Governor Zhu was defeated under the light of the enemy!" Mr. Liu, a staff member, thought he understood the situation and said to him with a smile.

Du Yinxi shook his head, he didn't think it would be so simple, with the combat power of Zheng Senjun's army, he had attacked the city again, and even if he was trapped, he shouldn't have been so embarrassed.

"What about Lord Zhu? Does he have anything else to say? Du Yinxi asked the person sent by Zheng Sen.

Before leaving, he specially instructed the villain to tell the superintendent that the rioters in Jiujiang City were by no means rabble, but well-equipped elite soldiers with high combat power, and the surname of the country suspected that it was not a riot at all, but a disguised Jiangxi soldier, and the number was more than 40,000. Master Inspector, I'm afraid that what you are facing is not just more than 10,000 violent soldiers, but more than 100,000 heroes in the entire Jiangxi! ”

"Lies confuse the public, Zheng Sen himself lost his teacher and humiliated the country and absconded for fear of crime, and even excused himself and expanded the violent soldiers to as many as 40,000!" Mr. Liu was furious and angrily reprimanded the people sent by Zheng Sen.

Plug Yinxi waved his hand to stop Mr. Liu's scolding. Zheng Sen is not here, what is the use of scolding the people he sent?

Regarding Zheng Sen's choice, Du Yinxi can understand that a young man, just when he was in high spirits, suddenly suffered such a powerful blow, and he couldn't accept it and hide. Du Yinxi only sighed that His Majesty did not have the ability to know people, pinned such a big thing on a son-in-law like Zheng Sen, and even gave the country surname to show his favor, if the news of Zheng Sen's defeat reached Nanjing, I don't know how His Majesty should be ashamed!

How Chongzhen was annoyed and blocked Yinxi couldn't see it for the time being, and now he was worried about the current situation. The impact of the rout of Zheng Sen's 30,000-strong army was very great, not only because of the loss of 30,000 troops, but also on morale.

Zheng Sen's 30,000 people were defeated so simply, there are only 50,000 people here, not much more than Zheng Sen's army, can they still defeat the rebel army in Jiujiang?

Even the rebel army in Jiujiang could not be defeated, so how could they go to Jiangdong to meet the 100,000 rebels from Fujian?

Moreover, Zheng Sen's warning also made Du Yinxi vigilant in his heart, perhaps, as Zheng Sen said, the rioters in Jiujiang are not so simple! Perhaps this riot was premeditated, in order to prevent himself from leading troops to Jiangdong in the name of the rioters. Then, I am afraid that I am facing not only the rioters in Jiujiang City, but the more than 100,000 troops in the entire Jiangxi!

However, although the future of this trip was almost hopeless, Du Yinxi had to continue to lead his troops forward. Because he bears the emperor's order and the last hope of Emperor Chongzhen, even if there are thorns in front of him!

Zheng Sen's defeat made Gu Yinxi a lot more cautious, and the 50,000-strong army slowed down and marched towards Jiujiang. When he was forty miles away from Jiujiang City, he set up two villages on land and water, and sent troops to investigate the actual situation in Jiujiang City.

The arrival of the Yinxi army naturally couldn't hide Liu Neng's ears and eyes in Jiujiang City.

Having just defeated Zheng Sen's army, the generals in the city were still unsatisfied and eager to try, and Jin Shenghuan even took the initiative to personally lead the troops to attack and completely defeat the army of Blockade Yinxi.

Liu Neng shook his head and rejected the generals' proposal to take the initiative.

"Gu Yinxi is different from Zheng Sen, Zheng Sen is the son of Zheng Zhilong, and we are naturally mortal enemies of the Qi King line, and we must destroy them to cut off the hope of the Zheng family. And Plug Yinxi is known as a virtuous person, and his subordinates are also the army of the Ming Dynasty, so it is better not to kill each other or not to kill each other. As long as we are blocked in Jiujiang, we will not be able to go to Jiangdong safely.

As long as the general trend of Nanjing has been decided, there is nothing to be done about blocking Yinxi, but there is only one way to surrender! ”

Liu Neng's plan has been decided, and Jin Shenghuan and others can only give up if they are unwilling.

Plugging Yinxi garrisoned Chengzi Town, and constantly sent small forces to infiltrate Jiujiang, but the Jiujiang rebels had no intention of attacking at all, which made Plug Yinxi even more hesitant, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to attack when he couldn't figure out the movements of the rebels.

A few days later, a sentinel suddenly came to report, saying that Yan Yingyuan, the governor of Jiangxi, led the Jiangxi soldiers to arrive to help block Yinxi and exterminate the rebel army.

When he heard the news, he was not only displeased, but shocked. Zheng Sen's warnings came to mind. If it was really as conjectured, the rioters in Jiujiang City were a conspiracy at all, then Yan Yingyuan was definitely a participant in the conspiracy. Now that Yan Yingyuan is coming with troops, I'm afraid it's not to exterminate the rebel army, but to deal with himself with the rebel army!

Vigilance, Du Yinxi rejected Yan Yingyuan's proposal to join forces, and asked Yan Yingyuan to lead his troops to face Jiujiang from the south, and the two armies from the southwest to attack Jiujiang.

As expected by Du Yinxi, Yan Yingyuan did not attack Jiujiang at all, but led his army to be stationed twenty miles away from Jiujiang, and he did not move.

Yan Yingyuan's tens of thousands of troops suddenly came, obviously with the riot army, which made Du Yinxi even more daring to move. Dare not advance, retreat and unable to face the imperial court, and unwilling, the 50,000 army is suddenly in a dilemma.

Seeing that Gu Yinxi did not dare to rush forward and did not dare to unite with Yan Yingyuan, Liu Neng knew that his trick had failed, the conspiracy could not succeed, and the strong attack would cause heavy casualties on both sides, and the dead and wounded were all Ming soldiers. Forget it, anyway, I have a city to refuse, and I am not afraid of a sneak attack by Plug Yinxi, and if I can't take Jiujiang, Plug Yinxi won't be able to go down the river to Jiangdong, so it's good to hold on like this!

Jiujiang is nearly a thousand miles away from Nanjing, and the news was not transmitted so quickly, but with the help of a caring person like Liu Neng, Zheng Sen's defeat was only a few days ago, and the news had already reached Nanjing.

At this moment, the entire Nanjing court was instantly silent, and all the officials were waiting to see Emperor Chongzhen's reaction.

When he heard the report of Zheng Sen's defeat, Chongzhen rarely did not get angry, but was very quiet, and only his pale face reflected the waves in his heart.

Chongzhen locked himself in the palace for days, without seeing any ministers, and for days without dealing with his favorite state affairs.

And when Chongzhen appeared in front of the ministers again, everyone was shocked to see the strands of white hair exposed under his crown.
