Chapter 184: King Ning's Ambition

PS: Very few noon updates, ahem.

The next day, heavy rain poured, landslides occurred in many places, the water level of the Yangtze River rose rapidly, the dam upstream was blown up by King Ning's army, the surging flood, like a fierce dragon, broke the city wall of Anqing Mansion, dozens of meters high, under the impact of the heavy rain, turned into nothing. Dozens of large ships rushed straight in from the upper stream, as if entering a no-man's land.

The general who defended the city led the soldiers to defend it, but the effect was very small, the city wall was no longer there, and there was no way to resist the impact of the warships.

These military ships, which were originally just some ships carrying rice and salt, have been refitted to have a deep draft and a strong impact, and each ship can carry nearly 300 soldiers, including all combat equipment.

Anqing's location is only inland, one of the Yangtze River rivers, there is Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake regulates the water level, so, for so many years, Anqing has suffered very little flooding, the construction of the city wall, is also based on the army's buildings, this time facing the impact of floods, some are not well prepared.

Perhaps the heavens were also destroyed in Anqing, and several successive rainstorms not only destroyed the city wall, but also turned the entire Anqing into an ocean, and many wealthy merchants and squires no longer stayed in Anqing, and went down the river to Jinling.

At noon, the general defending the city was ordered to abandon the city and retreat to Ma'anshan.

Anqing has become a Ze country, and one after another King Ning's military ships rushed into Anqing Mansion, burning, killing and looting.

This was the tacit acquiescence of King Ning, and every time a city was captured, the soldiers could act in a disorderly manner for three days, and after three days, King Ning intervened to prohibit such behavior, so that the soldiers could be appeased. They can also obtain enough armaments, and they can accumulate more reputation.

This strategy was naturally not something that King Ning came up with.

"Mr. Zhuge is really like a god, he talked about heavy rain as early as half a month ago, so that there will be nothing to resist our water army."

The handsome and dashing Ning Wang Zhu Quan, middle-aged, is younger than his little nephew Zhu Yunwen, but he looks very old, at this time. Wearing a yellow dragon robe, he stood on the top of Tianzhu Mountain, the first mountain of Anqing Prefecture.

At this time, the torrential rain has receded, revealing the bright sunshine, looking down from Tianzhu Mountain, the whole Anqing is due to a piece of Ze country, one after another military ships are traveling around, and everywhere they go, the burning is strong. Do no evil.

Standing next to Zhu Quan was a pale man wearing a scribe's green shirt, who looked a little young. Zhu Quanzuo's first strategist, known as 'Sick Zhuge ', his pale face is his most obvious feature.

According to legend, Sick Zhuge is a descendant of Zhuge Liang of Wolong of the Three Kingdoms, who knows astronomy and geography. Familiar with the past and the present, this dispatch of troops seems to be hasty, in fact. After many calculations by Zhuge Mou, it was calculated that heavy rain was about to fall on the Yangtze River.

When the heavy rain came, the military ships returned to the port and did not come out, and the heavy rain left, and immediately attacked the city.

"The prince has won the award, no matter how magical the calculation is, without the prince's years of accumulation, everything is empty talk." Zhuge Mou deeply understands the way of power and strategy, and knows that King Ning does not really praise himself, but wants to show himself indirectly.

"Haha, Mr. Zhuge is serious, if I can succeed, I will definitely let Mr. Zhuge be the marquis and pay homage to the prime minister, comparable to the ancestor Wuhou."

As soon as Zhuge Mou said this, King Ning was even more proud.

"Since ancient times, Tianzhu Mountain has been called Nanyue, and later removed this name, I see Tianzhu Mountain is very good, he will register as the emperor on the day, and Tianzhu Mountain will be named Nanyue."

"The prince is wise."

"Mr. Zhuge thinks, when is the best time to attack Jinling?"

"At this time, the east of Jinling is facing the Japanese riots, Liu Tong is dead, Li Jinglong is seriously injured, Zhu Xiang is nowhere to be found, it is the time of chaos, in the next thought, should be the fastest speed, capture Jinling, Jinling is the three rich places of the Ming Dynasty, after all, after all, make up for armaments, if the prince wants, he can also be called the emperor in Jinling, after all, when the Son of Heaven moved the capital, there are many people who are dissatisfied, and when the time comes, there will be many people who support the prince."

I have to say that Zhuge Mou is a genius, and these things are very clear and thorough.

"It's just that this battle is not very easy to fight, Jinling's strength is nearly 100,000, which is almost all my troops, although Li Jinglong was seriously injured, but Geng Mao suddenly appeared in Jinling, which is a bit strange. He's a great defender of the city. In the face of the Northern Yuan army, they did not give in at all. ”

Rao is King Ning also had to admit Geng Mao's talent: "If only it could be used by me." ”、

"Lord Wang, this matter may not be impossible. In the battle of Zhending that year, Geng Mao's father Geng Bingwen died in battle, and it is estimated that there is some inside information, I have sent someone to contact Geng Mao and tell him about it. ”

"Insider?"

"Maybe there is, maybe not, who knows?" Zhuge Mou actually didn't know if there was an inside story in the Zhending Battle that year, but there was news that Geng Bingwen died in that battle, and it has not been announced for the sake of the army's heart. From this point of view, it is true.

"Yes, if you have a bad heart, you can win him over when the time comes. Once I occupied Jinling, I would be the emperor, divide the river and rule, and then take the opportunity to go north. What my fourth brother can't do, I'll do it. ”

The mountain situation of Tianzhu Mountain is peculiar, the wind is fierce, King Ning felt the wind blowing his dragon robe, and there was a faint sense of soaring. And he became proud.

It's just that Zhuge Mou is preoccupied.

Jinling is called the emperor, a little delusional, even if Jinling can be captured, the Japanese may not be willing to stop there, as the saying goes, it is easy to please God and it is difficult to send God, and it is estimated that some compromises will have to be made at that time. This is good to say, the most difficult thing is the mysterious organization of 'banquet', which left many backbone elites of the fourth prince Zhu Di, after nearly 20 years of operation, no one knows that he has developed to the point of mystery.

The assassination of Liu Tong, the destruction of the Jinling intelligence network, and the serious injury of Li Jinglong were all from the hands of the 'banquet'.

The most frightening thing is the ubiquitous 'banquet'. King Ning's 100,000 naval army and nearly 500 generals, how many of them were 'banquet' people? I don't dare to check it, and I can't check it.

Facts have proved that the nose of the big dog is still very good, and finally found Zhu Xiang's traces, at this time Zhu Xiang, a little embarrassed, the entire Jinling intelligence network was destroyed, she is also to blame, even so, but the backbone is still there, only part of it has been destroyed.

"Are you alright?" Tang Fei said while helping to pinch his neck.

"Fortunately, the intelligence work can still operate normally, the matter here has been reported to Shuntianfu, and the next thing is to prevent King Ning from capturing Jinling. Tang Fei, I will arrange for you to go north to avoid it, once you reach the north bank of the Yangtze River, you will be safe. ”

"No, the foundation of the entire Yangliuzhai is still there, I promised the eldest lady to take good care of Yangliuzhai, but she can't come back and see that this place has become a ruin, then it's not good."

Zhu Xiang glanced at Tang Fei: "I understand." ”

"Don't worry, although there are not many people in my Yangliuzhai, it is not easy to mess with. (To be continued......)
