The envoys of the Zheng family and the envoys of Hao Jun insisted on their own words, and they both said that the other party wanted to oppose, and I am afraid that only they themselves know what the specific situation is.

And Chen Yue was naturally inclined to what Hao Jun's envoy said.

Although Hao Shaoqi is not a loyal minister, as far as Chen Yue knows, he can be regarded as a promising figure. Not to mention the friendship between Chen Yue and Hao Shaoqi, just based on the treatment given to Hao Jun by the Ming army, the title of marquis, the army alone, and the lack of food and salary, this kind of treatment is already excellent.

Even if Hao Shaoqi surrendered to the Western Army, it would be absolutely impossible for the Western Army to give better treatment. And now that the situation is unclear, there is no need for Hao Shaoqi to make a choice in a hurry. And he chose to surrender to Zhang Dingguo, who was only a general in the western camp.

The surrender of a general with such strength as Hao Shaoqi will definitely be personally surrendered by the puppet Emperor Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong is trapped in Jiangxi, where can he be able to recruit Hao Shaoqi, who is thousands of miles away?

If it weren't for Hao Shaoqi lying, it would definitely be the Zheng family who lied. Although I don't know why the Zheng family did this, judging from the contradiction between Dongfan and the Zheng family, the Zheng family has a reason to trap Chen Yue in a disadvantageous place.

If Chen Yue can be harmed, if the Dongfan forces lose their leader, they will naturally not be able to compete with the Zheng family.

However, even if Chen Yue could guess the cause of the incident, he would not have the energy to deal with this situation now. Whether it is Hao Jun or Zheng Jiajun, they are hundreds of miles away, and Chen Yue is really beyond the reach of Jiujiang.

Chen Yue could only write letters to Hao Shaoqi and Zheng Sen respectively, advising them to put the overall situation first, and to try their best to prevent Zhang Dingguo from going down the river. As for what kind of effect it can have, it's not up to Chen Yue to know.

According to the time of the messenger's report, it should be a few days before Zhang Dingguo's army arrives in Jiujiang, if he doesn't want to be in a dilemma by the enemy, what Jiujiang has to do now is to defeat Zhang Xianzhong's army in a few days, and this is almost impossible.

Let's not talk about Jiujiang civil and military planning day and night to discuss countermeasures. On the river, a hundred miles away from Huangzhou, Zheng Sen woke up in the cabin.

"Eldest Prince, you're awake!" The Zheng family, who was waiting on the side, exclaimed in surprise.

"Where is this?" With the support of the general, Zheng Sen sat up hard, and swayed under him to show that this was on the boat.

"It's still a hundred miles away from Huangzhou, the second master told the little one to take care of you, do you want to eat something?"

"It's almost Huangzhou," Zheng Sen was startled, he was still arguing with his uncle Zheng Hongkui when he woke up not long ago, and now he is about to arrive in Huangzhou, how long have he been asleep?

Zheng Sen rubbed his head with his hand to make himself more sober, and the dispute between him and Zheng Hongkui not long ago recalled in his mind again.

I made an appointment with Hao Shaoqi to jointly send troops to attack the thief army on the other side of the river, but on the eve of the attack, suddenly a river boat came to Hanyang from the downstream and brought the order of Zheng Zhilong, the head of the Zheng family.

In the order, Zheng Zhilong actually asked Zheng Sen and Zheng Hongkui to try to take the army away and let Wuchang's 100,000 thief army go to Jiujiang.

Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi in Jiujiang, was fighting fiercely with hundreds of thousands of thief troops, if he allowed these 100,000 thief troops to rush to Jiujiang to attack on both sides, what the consequences would be, Zheng Sen naturally knew very well.

If Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, is defeated, from Jiujiang to Nanjing, there is no longer a force that can resist the thief army, and the Ming Dynasty will be in danger of losing the country!

Zheng Sen naturally strongly opposed the order from his father Zheng Zhilong, how could he do such a thing that was contrary to the Ming Dynasty? I don't want to be a sinner of the Ming Dynasty!

However, Zheng Zhilong's envoy and uncle Zheng Hongkui tried his best to persuade him, persuading him to put the overall situation and the interests of the Zheng family first, and obey Zheng Zhilong's arrangement.

"What is the interests of the Zheng family? Are there eggs under the nest? If Da Ming is not there, how can the interests of my Zheng family be guaranteed? Zheng Sen asked angrily.

"The court treats my Zheng family well, a family of two counts, two brothers and two soldiers, and I am young and weak, but I am appreciated by Your Majesty and appointed as a high position of governor, Your Majesty's grace is high and thick, and my Zheng family should try their best to repay the favor, how can I do something disloyal and unfilial?

My father taught me loyalty and filial piety since I was a child, and sent me to study in the Guozijian, but I didn't expect him to do such an unfaithful thing. Although Zheng Sen is not talented, he can't let his father make mistakes again and again. You can't let your father fall into a desperate situation for his own selfishness, and he can't put the people of Daming in fire and water for the benefit of the family! ”

Zheng Sen's words were impassioned, so that Zheng Hongkui couldn't refute it at all, Zheng Hongkui could only agree, ignoring Zheng Zhilong's orders, and doing his best to help Zheng Sen contain Zhang Dingguo's army.

Unexpectedly, all this was just Zheng Hongkui's strategy to delay the army, Zheng Hongkui dared to drug himself behind his back, and then withdrew his troops to Huangzhou without permission!

"Where is my second uncle? I want to see him! Zheng Sen was furious, turned over and got out of bed, and was about to walk out of the cabin. The Zheng family army withdrew privately, and with Hao Shaoqi's strength, he couldn't resist Zhang Dingguo at all, Zheng Sen could think that the 100,000 thief army was probably going down the river to Jiujiang.

Thinking of the consequences of Zhang Dingguo leading the army to Jiujiang, Zheng Sen suddenly shuddered.

"The eldest prince, the eldest prince!" Who knew that Zheng Sen had just gotten out of bed, but he was blocked by a few generals, "The second master has instructed, the eldest son, you just need to rest on the boat, and the military affairs will naturally be handled by him, so you don't have to worry about it, the eldest prince." ”

......

Hanyang, the Zhengjia camp on the other side of the Han River went to the empty building, and only Hao Shaoqi's army was left alone.

Originally, in a joint battle against the Western Thieves, the Zheng family actually missed the appointment, causing Hao Jun to fight against the Western Thieves alone, losing thousands of soldiers.

After retreating to the west bank of the Yangtze River, Hao Shaoqi angrily sent people to Zheng's camp to interrogate, but the envoy was killed by the Zheng family, and then the Zheng family's fleet came to attack brazenly. Fortunately, Hao Shaoqi made preparations, and the loss was not too big.

Furious, Hao Shaoqi sent someone to Jiujiang to deliver a letter to Chen Yue, but he led his troops back twenty miles. Thinking of the Zheng family's first failure to make an appointment and then sending troops to attack him, Hao Shaoqi had to think that the Zheng family's army had united with the thieves and betrayed the Ming Dynasty!

Whether it is Zheng Jiajun or Zhang Dingguo in Wuchang, his strength is above him, and Hao Shaoqi can't help but be afraid.

However, to his surprise, the Zheng family's army did not continue to attack him, but withdrew his troops to the east. The thief army in Wuchang did not attack itself either, but left a small number of troops to defend the city, and most of the army went down the river and was marching towards Jiujiang.

What the hell is going on here? Hao Shaoqi couldn't understand it at all, and he couldn't figure it out.

His task is to unite with the Zheng family to contain Zhang Dingguo's thief army, but now that the Zheng family has rebelled, how can he be the opponent of Zhang Dingguo's thief army with Hao Shaoqi's strength?

Hao Shaoqi could imagine the consequences of Zhang Dingguo's army arriving in Jiujiang, but he was helpless.

"Brother Chen, it's not that my old Hao doesn't help you, it's really powerless, I can't let these tens of thousands of brothers go to death, right?"

Hao Shaoqi muttered to himself, it was not that he was not righteous, but that the situation was too sinister......
