At that time, Gao Yingxiang and other thirteen 72 battalions were defeated by the night attack of the Qin army led by Bai Qi during the siege of Xi'an, the situation of the enemy and us was reversed in an instant, and there were officers and soldiers everywhere in Shaanxi at that time, Qin Liangyu and Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian all led heavy troops to Shaanxi, and the Liukou was in danger and was about to be annihilated by the Ming army in Shaanxi.

Deng Xi, who never wanted to lead troops to defend the dangerous Han River, exploited the soldiers too much, causing the generals to lead the people to openly rebel! Then the dignified warrior of the Yi Bone Realm actually fell into the fire alley in a panic and was burned to death.

Yang Su hasn't found out the inside story yet, but he doesn't care very much, things have happened, and all the elites of the rogue have taken the opportunity to escape from Shaanxi, and it makes no sense to spend manpower and material resources to investigate, in general, it should be the good thing that those forces have done to save the rogues.

When the Liukou escaped from Shaanxi from the Han River guarded by Deng Xi, Hong Chengchou went out of Tongguan to pursue Gao Yingxiang, Qin Liangyu entered Shaanxi from Hanzhong to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Liukou, and pursued Lao Huihui and Luo Rucai and others who fled to Henan, while Lu Xiangsheng led a large army to besiege Zhang Xianzhong.

Gao Qiqian was ordered by Yang Su to lead the forbidden army to the front line, and it happened that the Red Lady was the weakest along the way, so he went to pursue the Red Lady.

Some time ago, Gao Qiqian said that he defeated the rogue at the Xuzhou ferry, beheaded thousands, and even beheaded the thieves over the stars and nine dragons, and obtained the heads of the two. Only the Red Lady and Liu Guineng, the leaders of the 72nd Battalion, escaped.

This is the first time that the Liukou, who has been circling in the Central Plains and the Northwest Region, has entered Jiangsu, but because of Gao Qiqian's big victory, everyone has relaxed their vigilance.

I never thought that after the rebel general Cao Wenzhao escaped from the forbidden army, she swept all the way along the canal, destroying the camp and pulling out the village along the way, breaking thirteen cities in a row, and now it is breaking through Huai'an City, and went straight to Nanjing, which is less than two hundred miles away from Nanjing.

Nanjing is not as good as an ordinary city, after Zhu Di successfully seized the throne in the past battle, he moved the capital to Beijing, took Nanjing as the remaining capital, set up six of these institutions in Nanjing, exercised the double Beijing system, Ying Tianfu and Shuntianfu, collectively known as Erjing Mansion. At this time, the population of Nanjing reached 2 million, and it is the largest city in the world today, along with Beijing.

Nanjing imitates Beijing's six departments and other institutions for the elderly, although these grades are high, but there is no real power, and they are not as good as the prefect of Tianfu, but the Xu family of Wei Guogong who has stayed in the capital for generations is different.

The Duke of Wei, who was deeply trusted by the emperor, had the power to mobilize the army, and Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, was favored by the emperor, not only ordered him to assist in guarding Nanjing, leading the five armies to supervise the Zuodu of the Governor's Mansion and the Governor of the Houfu, but also ordered him to supervise Jiangnan and add the crown prince Taibao.

It was the battle of the world that shook, and there was a case of the Liukou breaking through the Central Capital in the past, and the Red Lady broke through the thirteen cities in a row, destroying the camp and pulling out the village wherever he passed, sweeping away all the gentry and landlords, and making the gentry in Jiangnan and other places tremble.

This time, Xu Hongji, together with the Nanjing garrison eunuchs, the prefect of Tianfu, and the Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department, gathered together, in addition to jointly complaining to the imperial court, it was an anxious countermeasure.

The four of them discussed in the house for a long time but were helpless, there were no soldiers in Jiangnan, and there was no way to deal with the strong Red Lady, of course, they never thought of sending troops to exterminate the Red Lady, but thought about how to hold Nanjing without losing.

"Wei Guogong is just you and me now, please tell me the truth, what is the situation now? When the red lady comes, can Nanjing hold on? Governor Li took advantage of Xu Hongji's toilet to chase him out and asked anxiously.

"I have ordered the soldiers to prepare the equipment to defend the city, but the lack of training of the soldiers is worrying, and the red lady must have mastered some kind of means to break the city, otherwise it is impossible to break the thirteen cities in just ten days, although they are all small cities, but it is also impossible! Besides, she is aiming at Nanjing, she must have come prepared! ”

Xu Hongji immediately asked angrily, "Lord Li, what did they say?" Didn't they say they had already discussed it with the bandit leaders? Guarantee that the Liukou will never fight south of the Yangtze River! Why do these rogues like the Red Lady still come to attack Nanjing! ”

"Wei Guogong is not only in a hurry at this time, but they are also in a hurry, acting like a red lady, it is really going to sweep the entire Jiangnan, they are not the same to die! According to them, this kind of thing happened because Guo Tianxing and Nine Dragons, who knew the inside story, had died in battle, and the Red Lady and Liu Guoneng were not in a position to know these things, and they were chased by the forbidden army, so they went south along the canal and came to the south of the Yangtze River! Governor Li's face was full of depression, and he sighed and explained.

"And now do they have a way to deal with it?"

"They have already greeted the Buddha Gate and the Heavenly Palace! The Buddha Gate and the Heavenly Palace also promised to immediately give orders to their leaders to influence Gao Yingxiang and urge Gao Yingxiang to immediately summon the Red Lady to leave! ”

"This time and again, there is a fairy god to help pass the message, and when the red lady receives the order to withdraw from the army, it will take at least half a month, and then I am afraid that it will be too late!"

"Humph! Half a month, half a month later, I am afraid that you and I have been killed by the red lady! Xu Hongji said angrily.

"Wei Guogong, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses around Nanjing, can't they hold it for even half a month?" Governor Li exclaimed in disbelief.

"The imperial court's salary has not been paid, so of course I will use it to train my family! However, although the family is elite, after all, there are few people, how can they defend the city with only a few hundred people! Xu Hongji changed the topic with a dark face and embarrassment, "Which of those salt merchants in Yangzhou among them has thousands of elite armor and cavalry. Which maritime merchants are the same, you tell them, let them gather tens of thousands of people to come over, how about helping us defend Nanjing! ”

"Although they are gathered together, there is no subordination between them, at this moment they are all in the village to defend themselves, and they are all their families, and there is not a group of harmony between that group of people, if the family members in a certain family are too badly injured, they are afraid that they will be killed by others the next day, so it is impossible for them to send troops to help." Governor Li shook his head and vetoed.

The two of them didn't want to stay outside for a long time, and they returned to the house after talking all the way, and they heard Qin Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department talking with Deng Zhou, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison:

"It's a pity that the forbidden army chasing the Red Lady carries a lot of baggage, and it is not as good as the Red Lady who comes and goes without a trace of the light clothes, and can only witness the Red Lady galloping in the south of the Yangtze River, but there is no way!

Otherwise, with the relationship between our family and Gao Gonggong, we will definitely be able to let Gao Gonggong send troops to help, if there is Gao Gonggong here, how dare the Red Lady fight against it, and the crisis in Nanjing will be solved immediately! ”

Qin Shangshu also sighed, "It's a pity that Grandpa Gao has only passed Suqian now, and there are still more than 700 miles away from Nanjing, which is a daily march of 60 miles, and it will be more than ten days before Grandpa Gao receives the news!" However, the city wall of Nanjing is tall, and although the red lady is menacing, it should not be able to enter in a short time! It should be able to support until Gonggong Gao leads the army to help! ”

Today's netizens are really impetuous, they started to be blind before they figured things out, Lin Dan cheated, you ran to scold Chen He, Bai Baihe cheated, and you went to find trouble with Wang Luodan. Just because it looks like? If Wu Yanzu cheats, are you going to scold me?
