Chapter 474: What Should Come Will Come
Some people can't fight hard for the country and the people, but they are very good at fighting for power and profit. To the internal remnants of the people, to flatter and invite favors externally, to abuse the people, to be afraid of the war, Zuo Liangyu's generals are like this.
After deciding to descend to the clear, Zuo Mengeng and the others immediately took action. Fearing that he would be attacked if he surrendered late, he quickly sent people to the Qing camp to negotiate the surrender.
Since he chose to surrender, he naturally wanted to give a greeting gift, and now there is no Jiujiang City and no Inspector Yuan Jixian is the best greeting gift.
After discussion, Zuo Mengeng sent Hao Xiaozhong to raid Jiujiang City with his subordinates to capture the supervisor Yuan Jixian, while Li Guoying led most of the remaining troops to attack Xu Yong, Wu Xiaoli and others who defected to Huang Shu.
Capturing Jiujiang City and capturing Yuan Jixian and Huang Shu alive is Zuo Mengeng's gift to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is also a certificate of surrender.
At noon that day, taking advantage of the change of guard at the gate of Jiujiang, under the response of the internal response sent to the city, Hao Xiaozhong suddenly led his troops to attack Jiujiang and attacked the Jiangxi soldiers defending the city.
Suddenly attacked, and the attacking enemy came from their own people, the Jiangxi soldiers were suddenly in a mess, and they were completely unable to resist.
Hao Xiaozhong sent his subordinate generals to attack the defenders, and he led his family team straight to the superintendent in the center of the city.
There was a sudden chaos in the city, and the supervisor Yuan Jixian was very shocked, and hurriedly sent someone to check what was going on, and got a report that the soldiers of the left battalion rushed into the city and exchanged fire with the Jiangxi soldiers defending the city.
Could it be that Zuo Mengeng was dissatisfied with handing over the military power of the left army to Huang Shu, and this caused turmoil? Yuan Jixian was frightened.
At this time, there is turmoil, it will inevitably cheapen the enemy, if it can't be pacified quickly, once the thieves attack, Jiujiang will be self-defeating. As a supervisor, he is responsible for defending the capital of Jiujiang, and he must think of ways to calm down the turmoil.
At this time, Yuan Jixian didn't know that Zuo Mengeng had already led the army to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, because Zuo Menggeng's troops stationed in Jiangbei blocked the news, and he didn't even know that the Qing army was only a few dozen miles away from Jiujiang......
Yuan Jixian hurriedly went out of the line, with some guards to the city to shout to kill, he planned to persuade Zuo Mengeng to stop the turmoil and focus on the overall situation, so Yuan Jixian was ready to make some compromises, even if it was to take Huang Shu's military power, and then hand over the army to Zuo Mengeng.
Not long after he left, he met Hao Xiaozhong.
"Mr. Hao, what are you doing? Quickly send an order to stop the turmoil in the army, and focus on the overall situation! Yuan Jixian persuaded Hao Xiaozhong bitterly.
"It's useless for you to tell me, Master, that the last general is also acting on orders." Hao Xiaozhong said with a smile, "Why don't you go and see our young marquis, if you have something to say to him." ”
After speaking, he sent an army to "escort" Yuan Jixian out of the city and go to see Zuo Mengeng.
Yuan Jixian was anxious to end this turmoil, and he did not doubt him, so he walked straight out of the city. After leaving the city and getting on Zuo Menggeng's boat, his guards were immediately disarmed. Yuan Jixian was furious and scolded, but no soldier was willing to listen to him, the overseer.
In this way, the dignified superintendent was placed under house arrest on the ship, and Yuan Jixian didn't even see Zuo Mengeng's face. When he suddenly learned the news that Zuo Mengeng had surrendered to the arrival of the Mantars the next day, Yuan Jixian was extremely remorseful, and felt that he had no face to live in the world, so he jumped into the surging river while the guards were not looking, but who knew that he was rescued by the soldiers of the Left Army who were guarding him and got on the boat. Zuo Mengeng wants to dedicate him to the Manchu chieftain to invite merit, how can he let him commit suicide?
Li Guoying led the army and launched a surprise attack on the barracks of Xu Yong, Wu Xiaoli and others.
The combat strength of Xu Yong and the others' army is no less than that of Li Guoying's department, but no one thought that Zuo Mengeng and Li Guoying would be so frustrated that they would attack themselves!
Countless rockets shot into the camp of Xu Yong and others, and the boat on the shore was full of fire, and when they were suddenly attacked, the soldiers in the camp suddenly became confused, and the wolves rushed and did not know what to do.
Xu Yong desperately tried to gather the army to organize the defensive line, but he did not move the soldiers who fell into confusion. When Li Guoying's banner appeared not far from the camp, Xu Yong decisively gave up resistance, escaped from the camp with hundreds of his own families, and broke through the blockade of Li Guoying's troops on dozens of warships and fled towards the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
When the camp was attacked, the commander-in-chief Wu Xueli was drinking with Huang Shu, the supervising army, in Wangjiang Tower outside Jiujiang City. Now that Huang Shu has become everyone's top boss, Wu Xueli, who has always been sleek, naturally will not miss the opportunity to tie up with his boss.
Several scantily clad prostitutes sat on either side of them, smiling and feeding wine to their mouths, and in the middle of the room, a good-looking singer was stroking the piano and singing.
The sudden shouting of killing stopped the feast, and a guard rushed to the restaurant to report to Huang Shu the news of the rebellion of the left army.
The left army rebelled and attacked the army attached to him, Jiujiang City and the military camp by the river were in chaos, hearing this news, Huang Shu's face turned pale in an instant, and he sat on the chair in a daze for a long time.
Wu Xueli pushed open the window and looked out, and saw that his military camp not far away had fallen into a sea of fire, and hundreds of warships in the river were attacking the camp.
After only a few glances, Wu Xueli knew that the camp was irretrievable, and even if he rushed back to the camp, he would not be able to resist Xu Ensheng's attack.
What am I going to do? Wu Xueli's eyes rolled, secretly thinking of ideas. The army is his lifeblood, and if he loses it, he will probably have nothing.
"General Wu, we must go back to the barracks immediately and beat the rebels back, no, we should go to Jiujiang City to see the Governor and ask him to order the transfer of Jiangxi troops to quell the rebellion." Huang Shu shouted incoherently, at this time he was already panicked and couldn't come up with an idea.
"My Lord Supervisor, didn't you see the sound of killing in Jiujiang City, the Supervisor is afraid that he will not be able to take care of himself, where will he have the strength to rescue us." Wu Xueli smiled bitterly.
"What then? What to do, we can't stay here, yes, go to Wuhu! Huang Shu said, "Wuhu still has tens of thousands of Beijing camps of Zhongyi Hou Chen Jianghe, and Luzhou on the other side of Wuhu also has 30,000 troops of Jingnan Bohuang Degong, as long as you arrive in Wuhu, please send a large army to quell the rebellion." ”
Huang Shu said excitedly, stood up and urged Wu Xiaoli to leave immediately, and made a promise that as long as he arrived in Wuhu, he would play the imperial court to reward Wu Xiaoli.
Wu Xiaoli looked at Huang Shu, his face was full of disappointment, he thought that he had climbed the high branch with Huang Shu, but he didn't expect to fall into a desperate situation, this Huang Shu is really a fucking pit!
When I arrived in Wuhu, I asked the court to give me a reward? You're lying to a three-year-old! I left the army and fled to Wuhu, it would be good if the court didn't hold him accountable, as for Huang Shu who provoked such a big basket, he would definitely be arrested by Jinyiwei and sent to Nanjing to ask for guilt, you yourself are mud bodhisattvas crossing the river It is difficult to protect yourself, and you fool Lao Tzu!
"Let's go, what are you doing in a daze?" Seeing that Wu Xiaoli did not move, Huang Shu said angrily.
"Lord Overseer, you don't need to go to Wuhu, you can help me now." Wu Xiaoli said suddenly.
"What did you say?" Huang Shu was surprised, and saw Wu Xiaoli suddenly pull out the sword at his waist and put it on his neck at once.
"Lord Warden, you said that if I sacrifice you to the young marquis, will he forgive my sins?"
Wu Xueli's words made Huang Shu's heart cold.
