Zhang Zhijie has never doubted Wang Shouren's strategic vision, and after all, they have fought together, which can be regarded as quite a tacit understanding! So for the analysis in the mouth of Emperor Zhengde, Zhang Zhijie was not surprised.

"The Emperor Shengming!" Zhang Zhijie said with a smile.

Zhengde stared at Zhang Zhijie's smiling face, and said with some doubts: "You seem to have some concerns?" What's wrong? ”

"It's hard to put into words! Your Majesty, please! ”

After the generals saw the emperor in the big tent of the Chinese army, Emperor Zhengde waved them away, and immediately asked curiously: "What happened?" Makes you so worried? ”

"At the beginning, the minister suggested to the emperor that Lord Peng and Lord Wu should lead the troops west to take Jiujiang, just to cut off King Ning's back road!"

"That's right! I received your letter at that time, so I asked people to send a message to Peng Ze and Wu Wending, and now they have also taken Jiujiang? I have to say that Wu Wending is indeed very capable, first he held Anqing City for more than a month, bought time for the imperial court, and now he has taken Jiujiang City in one fell swoop with a night attack, Wu Wending has made great contributions! Emperor Zhengde said with emotion.

Although Peng Ze and Wu Wending took Jiujiang like a meritorious, and then made a big splash, what is the use? In the end, it can't be hidden from the discerning person at all.

"Master Wu has indeed made great contributions! The battle situation in Jiangxi can be so smooth, and Lord Wu is definitely the first credit! Zhang Zhi nodded appreciatively.

Emperor Zhengde was noncommittal about this, and asked: "Yes, isn't the current battle situation exactly what you envisioned?" What are you still worried about? ”

Zhang Zhijie sighed: "The current situation is indeed very favorable! However, King Ning's army did not collapse! They are still actively looking for a chance to win, so the next battle will not be easy! ”

"Therefore, the minister did not act rashly, and was ready to wait for the arrival of the emperor and Lord Wang before joining forces to attack King Ning's army! In order to prevent Peng Ze and Wu Wending of Jiujiang City from understanding the details and going to war without authorization, the minister specially asked people to spread the word! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhijie paused with some embarrassment! Emperor Zhengde couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, he had already heard Wang Shouren's analysis when the army set off from Nanchang!

He agreed very much with Zhang Zhijie and Wang Shouren's strategy, the war in Jiangxi has dragged on for a long time, and now that he has this opportunity, it is naturally best to be able to fight!

He is not a stupid person, he already understands when he hears this, there must be a problem with Peng Ze! Peng Ze experienced a fiasco under Anqing City, and he must have been unwilling and eager to fight!

To tell the truth, Emperor Zhengde was very dissatisfied with Peng Ze, and when the war was settled, he would not only not reward Peng Ze, but would punish him! But now he can't change the commander on the spot, after all, Peng Ze has been leading the army for so long, and that army is patchwork, and no one obeys anyone, so it is difficult to choose a commander-in-chief army from among them!

If you send an unfamiliar army of past commanders, there is no suitable candidate! Therefore, Emperor Zhengde reluctantly let Peng Ze continue to lead the army, because he felt that he did not have much expectation for the role of Peng Ze's army in the next big war!

Emperor Zhengde frowned and said, "What? Doesn't he listen to you? ”

Zhang Zhijie shook his head and said: "According to the description of the herald, he said 'I know', but the minister is still a little worried!" ”

Although Zhang Zhijie didn't say anything unpleasant, Emperor Zhengde could still hear a little! In his opinion, this time to lead the troops to the expedition, in addition to his own orders, it is naturally Zhang Zhijie's order that is the biggest, but he didn't expect Peng Ze not to buy Zhang Zhijie's account.

"Humph! How unreasonable! I will give it to him! If he dares to come nonsense, I can't spare him! Emperor Zhengde said dissatisfied.

While the two were talking, a brocade-clothed guard came to the door in a hurry and said anxiously: "Lord Admiral, my subordinates have important matters to face!" ”

Zhang Zhijie's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Come in!" ”

"See the Emperor! I've seen the Admiral! ”

"Flatten! Why are you so alarmed? ”

"Back to the emperor, according to the report of the sentinel, Peng Ze's army has left the city and is marching in the direction of King Ning's army camping!"

Zhang Zhijie's face couldn't help but change greatly when he heard this, and Emperor Zhengde lost his voice and said, "What? How unreasonable! I will give an order to let him immediately lead his troops back to the city and wait for the fighters! ”

The scouts found out and rushed back to report the news, and then it was too late to pass the message! It is estimated that the two armies have already engaged in battle, and at that time, it will be a big defeat to collect troops!

"Your Majesty, it's too late! It is estimated that the emperor's will has not yet arrived, and the two armies have already engaged in battle! Zhang Zhijie smiled bitterly.

Emperor Zhengde flicked his sleeves angrily and said angrily: "Then what should I do? Peng Ze really didn't succeed enough and lost more than he failed, why did I agree to let him lead the troops with him in the first place? ”

With a sigh of relief, Zhang Zhijie quickly cleaned up his mood and said in a deep voice: "There is no other way for today, but to start a war in advance!" ”

Emperor Zhengde opened his mouth and didn't say anything, he couldn't watch Peng Ze lead the army to death!

Fortunately, Zhang Zhijie had already guessed Peng Zehui's move to lead the troops, so the army has been making methodical preparations!

Zhang Zhijie and Emperor Zhengde soon led a large army to the battlefield. And there is a large army that set off earlier than Zhang Zhijie's army, and that is Wu Wending's army.

Although Wu Wending has always rejected Peng Ze's request, and he is unwilling to deal with Peng Ze's army, he is actually very concerned about the movements of Peng Ze's army, because he also thinks that Peng Ze may lead the army to take the initiative to fight.

But then Zhang Zhijie sent someone to herald the order, which reassured Wu Wending, and as a result, to Wu Wending's surprise, Peng Ze didn't care about Zhang Zhijie's order at all, and really led the army out of the city!

Wu Wending, who knew the news, couldn't help but jump to his feet and scold, after he had always led the troops for more than two months, he had become a lot rude!

Wu Wending, who scolded a lot, was still angry, which completely disrupted the layout of the battlefield! Although he was not angry, Wu Wending still ordered 5,000 troops and then went out of the city! He also had to leave 5,000 people to guard Jiujiang, after all, Jiujiang City could not afford to lose.

Jiujiang, which was originally a little silent, suddenly became turbulent because of Peng Ze's movements, and the clouds of war shrouded Jiujiang at once!

Peng Ze, who was desperate, led the army to the camp of King Ning's army, but his heart sank instead! He can't afford to lose in this trip, he has to prove himself! When he was in Beijing, he was famous for knowing soldiers, who could have known that he would suffer a fiasco on this trip!

And it was the only defeat of the imperial army, which made him even more disgraced, he knew that his future was too late, whether he won or lost this battle, his future was over!
