Chapter 1122: King Lu's Bottom Line

In a big city like Nanjing, unless the inside surrenders, or there is an internal response, it is impossible to fight it down without a period of preparation.

Now the army under the city of Nanjing, King Lu and Jin Shenghuan also have an army of nearly 90,000 people, if they have enough time, it is still very possible to take Nanjing, but the key is that Wang Yan will not give him this time.

Wang Yan knew that he pounced on Nanjing, and he would definitely rush to Nanjing immediately, then they would inevitably fail under the internal and external attacks.

King Lu saw that there was no hope of conquering Nanjing, so he was forced to withdraw to Zhejiang, but Jin Shenghuan could not return to Jiangxi, what should he do?

At this time, he could only go to King Lu.

At this time, it was already the third watch in the middle of the night, but the lights in the Zhejiang military camp were bright, and the crowds were like daylight.

Jin Shenghuan passed through the camp, only to see a team of soldiers shuttling, the Zhejiang military camp was very messy, the vehicles were blocking the road in the camp and no one was managed, the soldiers were carrying materials, all kinds of equipment were stacked at will, scattered everywhere, and he looked in from the gap in the tent, and the soldiers inside were also packing up their burdens.

It seems that King Lu is really going to withdraw, and the Zhejiang army has no intention of continuing to fight, and the military heart is like this, even if King Lu does not withdraw, he will not be able to do it.

Jin Shenghuan was led by Wang Yi to King Lu's handsome tent, the lights in the tent were on, indicating that King Lu did not sleep, the guards outside the tent guarded the surroundings, a guard leader, saw Wang Yi leading Jin Shenghuan over, immediately greeted him, he first gave Wang Yi a salute, and then asked: "Is this Jindu Town?" ”

"Not bad!" Wang Yi nodded, and Jin Shenghuan returned the punch and lowered his posture.

"Jindu Town, please come in, His Highness has explained, let you go in directly!" The leader of the guards stretched out his hand, led Jin Shenghuan to the front of the tent, reported it inside, and then helped him lift the tent curtain.

Jin Shenghuan entered the tent and found that King Lu was standing in front of a map with his hands in his hands, pondering for a long time, and his back was a little gloomy.

He waited for a while, but saw that King Lu still didn't react, so he clenched his fists and bowed down, and said softly: "Jin Shenghuan greets His Highness!" ”

King Lu was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice, he reacted, he turned around, walked back to the handsome case and sat down a little tiredly, and then stretched out his finger and pointed to the stool next to him, before he spoke: "Huchen came to see King Lone and has something to say!" ”

Jin Shenghuan sat down on the side, pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to get straight to the point: "Your Highness, in this case, if you want to withdraw to Zhejiang, you are willing to accompany and obey Your Highness's dispatch!" ”

The two parties had their own ghosts before, but the biggest enemy Wang Yan was not killed, but he pitted himself.

At this time, Jin Shenghuan has gone wrong and has no scheming to play, he can only say his thoughts directly.

Jiangxi can't go back, Fujian can't go, Jin Shenghuan is already a lost dog, as soon as King Lu leaves, Jin Shenghuan stays in Nanjing and dies, and he can only follow King Lu now.

When King Lu heard this, the whole person was slightly stunned, Jin Shenghuan wanted to take refuge in him!

Now that the Tang King has been arrested, the pro-Tang faction has lost its banner, and has been condemned as a rebel by the imperial court, and Jin Shenghuan is one of the evil leaders and will inevitably suffer heavy punishment.

I heard that Wang Yan had asked someone to bring him a letter, as long as he went to Nanchang to admit his mistake and hand over the military power, he would give him the title of deputy governor, but he did not accept it, and instead rushed to Nanjing. This is the face of Wang Yan, and Wang Yan will definitely not be able to spare him.

For Wang Yan, King Lu still has some understanding, this guy is good to talk about, and he is also very good to speak, and if he doesn't speak well, he is really poisonous.

Wang Yan's guy has a good face, fake faith, what he says, what conditions he proposes, if he accepts it at the beginning, then most of this guy will implement it according to the agreement, in order to show his hypocrisy, but if he doesn't accept it, or has other West thoughts, and doesn't give him face, then this guy will be extremely vicious and ruthless.

When he went to Nanchang, he released such generous conditions, probably because he wanted Jin Shenghuan to go to Nanchang obediently and meet him on the ground, so as to show his domineering spirit to the world, and also to deter the world and Jiangxi, but he didn't think that he had done too many bad things, Jin Shenghuan didn't give him this opportunity, he set up a stage play but didn't sing, which made him very faceless.

With the character of this guy, if Jin Shenghuan falls into his hands, it will probably be a dead word.

Now Jin Shenghuan can be said to have no way out, so he wants to join him, but there is no joy on King Lu's face.

If Jin Shenghuan wanted to take refuge in him before, he would definitely greet him barefoot and be overjoyed, but now even if Jin Shenghuan wants to vote for him, he can't change the overall situation, and he really can't be happy.

King Lu wanted to fight for the world, and he had great ambitions in his heart, but after he evacuated Nanjing, he had no chance with his political ideals since then, and his ambitions could no longer be realized, even if he could keep Zhejiang this time, he would not be happy.

What he wants is the world, not a Zhejiang, to be a vassal king!

"What Huchen said makes sense, at this time, we will live if we are together, and we will die if we are divided! Since Jiangxi has been occupied by the king thief, then you will retreat into Zhejiang with the lone king. King Lu groaned, although he was not very happy, he would not refuse Jin Shenghuan's refuge.

After he retreats to Zhejiang, Wang Yan will definitely not let him go, and he will definitely send a large army to attack, with Jin Shenghuan's army, he will be much more likely to defend Zhejiang, he said in a deep voice, with no expression on his face.

Jin Shenghuan saw that King Lu agreed, then he at least had a place to live and solve the urgent need at the moment, and his heart was immediately at ease, but he listened to King Lu's tone and looked at his expression, and couldn't help but clench his fists and said: "Your Highness still has tens of thousands of male soldiers, don't be depressed!" ”

The king of Tang is now under house arrest by the Chu party, and the only one who can fight against Wang Yan is King Lu, and he does not want King Lu to lose his fighting spirit.

If King Lu is also defeated, then he can only follow and kill himself to thank the world.

Hope was disappointed, and King Lu was inevitably depressed, but after listening to Jin Shenghuan's words, he immediately straightened down.

As the commander-in-chief, when the morale of the whole army is discouraged and demoralized, if he also shows a depressed side, then the army will not be saved, and he cannot let people see his depressed side.

King Lu didn't think about his emotions, it was so obvious, he held his forehead, and when he put down his hand, the depression on his body was gone.

At this time, King Lu glanced at Jin Shenghuan with a resolute gaze, "What Huchen reminds is that King Gu is in the Zhongxing Imperial Family, and he is the pillar of tens of thousands of soldiers to sweep away the power and traitors, and he should be more tenacious than anyone else at this time!" ”

Having said that, but in the current situation, leaving Nanjing is tantamount to admitting defeat, King Lu is resolute on the outside, and he can deceive the people around him, but he can't deceive his heart, he paused, and suddenly said: "The lone king retreats to Zhejiang, and the king thief will not let go of the lone king!" ”

Saying that, King Lu stood up and said with some sadness and indignation: "Lone fails, even if he dies, it doesn't matter, but after Lone is defeated, the king thief has no scruples, and he will inevitably further **** the emperor's family, destroy the law of my ancestors, and even slaughter the clan and usurp my Ming dynasty." When the lonely king thought of this, his heart was like a knife, and he only hated that he couldn't get rid of this thief in order to sue the spirit of Taizu. If the country really falls into the hands of the king thief, the descendants of the surname Zhu will become the playthings in the hands of the king thief. ”

King Lu had the heart to compete for the world at the beginning, mostly because of his personal ambitions, but at this time, he hated it in his heart, but because he was worried about the future of the entire clan and the surname Zhu.

Jin Shenghuan listened to King Lu's words, and couldn't help but be silent for a while, then got up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness still has Zhejiang and nearly 100,000 male soldiers, although it is not enough to enter the world, but it is not impossible to protect yourself and wait for the times to change, why did Your Highness say this?" ”

King Lu's heart was indeed depressed, he walked to the map, turned to look at Jin Shenghuan, "Does Huchen have any other way to break the situation?" ”

Jin Shenghuan immediately walked to the map, "Your Highness, let's return to Zhejiang first, and then contact Zheng Guo's surname to form an alliance to defeat the king, even if we can't hold Zhejiang and Fujian, with the advantage of the water division, it will not be a problem to control the island, Luzon, Zhoushan, Xiamen and other places." ”

"This is back to the situation of resisting the Qing Dynasty at the beginning!" King Lu sighed, he told King Tang that even if he failed, he could go to sea, but that was just a word to encourage King Tang, he finally went ashore from Zhoushan, how could he be willing to go overseas again.

To a certain extent, going to sea means giving up the world and admitting Wang Yan's control of the world, that is, politically, giving up the competition for orthodoxy, which will make the people who pin their hopes on him extremely disappointed.

Jin Shenghuan looked at King Lu, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly continued: "Your Highness, if you don't want to go to sea, then just contact the north!" ”

"North?" King Lu was stunned for a moment, reacted suddenly, and immediately changed his face, and shouted angrily: "You let the Lone King contact the Manchu Dynasty!" ”

In terms of strength and people's hearts, King Lu is not Wang Yan's opponent at all, and if King Lu wants to avoid defeat, he can only introduce new forces to balance the situation, and he can only contact the north.

If the Manchu Qing invaded the south on a large scale, Wang Yan could only transfer troops to the north to resist, and then King Lu and Jin Shenghuan would be able to stabilize their positions.

Jin Shenghuan had thought about it before he came, and only in this way could they at least be undefeated.

Just now, he saw that King Lu was hesitant to go to sea, so he tested it, and didn't want King Lu to react so violently, so he immediately lowered his head and hugged his fists.

The atmosphere in the tent, because of this temptation, cooled down, and Jin Shenghuan's words touched King Lu's bottom line.

And at this moment, King Lu's handsome tent was suddenly picked open by Wang Yi, he walked in in a little panic, and did not pay attention to the atmosphere in the tent, but first gave King Lu a salute, and then immediately turned to Jin Shenghuan and said: "Jindu Town, the chasing soldiers have arrived, and the Jiangdong Bridge is in flames, it must be the camp of the Wuwei Army, which has been raided!" ”

As soon as these words came out, King Lu and Jin Shenghuan instantly forgot about Fang Cai's conversation, and their faces changed greatly.
