Jiujiang Mansion and Nanchang Mansion are very close to each other, and Zhu Chenhao's attack on Jiujiang first is undoubtedly the most correct choice.

One is because they are so close together that they don't need to march for a long time; Second, Zhu Chenhao took Jiujiang Mansion, and he could take the waterway directly to Nanjing.

Nanjing, as the capital of Liu, not only has an imperial palace, but also a complete set of central administrative teams. If Zhu Chenhao can take Nanjing in one go, then he can completely radiate out from Nanjing to control the entire Jiangnan.

With such a rich place as Jiangnan as the foundation, King Ning may be able to gain a firm foothold, as long as he can calm down and gradually consolidate his strength in Jiangxia before Xu Tu develops.

Not to mention that he will definitely be able to rule the world in the future, but at least he can develop into a prince who divides the territory, at least it can give Zhu Houzhao a headache.

"So Nanjing is a very important place, and Zhu Chenhao must not be allowed to take it."

Wang Shouren put on a long coat and stretched out his hand to knock on the place marked Nanjing on the map, his expression was a little solemn, as if he had encountered some problem.

And the problem that Wang Shouren was thinking about Jiang Xia had basically guessed, he clasped his hands in front of his chest and said: "But now that King Ning has raised troops, he is sure that Jiujiang will not be able to hold it if he is so caught off guard." Although Nanjing also has garrisons, if King Ning attacks Nanjing with lightning speed, it will be very difficult for Nanjing to defend. ”

"That's right." Wang Shouren sighed and nodded. "If there is a way to stop Zhu Chenhao, then the whole incident will be much easier."

"Stop Zhu Chenhao from sending troops to Nanjing?" Jiang Xia held his chin with his right hand and thought about it, then finally looked at Wang Shouren and said, "I have a way, I don't know if it can be used." ”

Wang Shouren looked at Jiang Xia and smiled, "But everyone who knows you says that you are scheming and like a god, but now it seems that this is not the case." If there is any way, just say it quickly, at the moment, whether it is the best or the next policy, it can only be regarded as a dead horse as a live horse doctor. ”

"Well, in that case, I'll take the risk and try my plan." Jiangxia Road.

Nanchang is Zhu Chenhao's base camp, so Zhu Chenhao beheaded Sun Sui and Xu Kui's head sacrifice flags, and soon stabilized Nanchang after the official Xuanfu rebellion.

This rebellion against Zhu Chenhao was by no means rash, but planned and prepared for many years, so now at the beginning, Zhu Chenhao proceeded according to his own plan and sent the vanguard to take Jiujiang Mansion directly.

And Wang Shouren of Raozhou Mansion also reacted amazingly fast, first of all, he sent a message to all parts of Jiangxi, asking them to immediately bring troops to Raozhou Mansion to assemble, ready to capture the rebels.

As a contemporary Confucian, Wang Shouren's prestige is extremely high. After that, the governor of Nan Gan ascended to the altar in one fell swoop, laying a supreme prestige.

Now that they received Wang Shouren's letter, officials from all over Jiangxi immediately did what the letter said, and took the soldiers from various prefectures and counties to gather in Raozhou Mansion.

At the same time, military rations, ordnance, and ships from all parts of Jiangxi were also dispatched according to Wang Shouren's arrangement. The whole of Jiangxi suddenly seemed to start moving, and they were all preparing to capture Zhu Chenhao's rebellion.

Such a situation is definitely not good news for Zhu Chenhao, and he hopes that officials from all over Jiangxi will not oppose him. Or run to surrender to him and be a minister of the dragon. It's also a good attitude to either turn a blind eye.

Now this appearance makes Zhu Chenhao muttered a little in his heart.

With the current strength of troops in Jiangxi, even if they are all gathered together, there are nothing more than more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to confront his 100,000 army.

Even if his army of 100,000 has a lot of water, how can it be said that it is seventy percent true, that is also an army of 70,000, which is tens of thousands more than 20,000, right?

In the government of Raozhou Mansion, Wang Shouren also has the same worries. He looked at Jiang Xia, who had carefully cut a note, and then was holding a small brush with small characters written on it, Wang Shouren couldn't help but ask: "Brother Jiang, now the soldiers from the county government offices in Jiangxi have basically arrived at Raozhou Mansion, and the grain, grass and weapons have also been dispatched according to your requirements."

But with our current strength, we can't fight against Zhu Chenhao's 100,000 army, so what should we do next? ”

"Sir, don't worry, I have already sent a flying pigeon to Jiujiang Mansion, asking them to directly concentrate all their forces in Anqing, and give up the rest of the place for the time being.

In addition, I also sent a flying pigeon to the Nanjing side, asking them to immediately gather troops and horses to prepare for the battle. Now all we have to do is one word, drag.

And the secret of procrastination is here. ”

Jiang Xia handed the note he had just written in his hand to Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren looked at the note with a puzzled expression, only to see that it was written: "Duke Li, Duke Liu, fortunately, you two informed King Ning in advance of the upcoming rebellion, and the imperial court rebel army will set off in advance." Now that the army will arrive in Nanjing in a few days, the two of you advise King Ning to attack Wang Yangming in Nanjing as soon as possible. ”

Wang Shouren saw that the final payment was actually himself, he looked at Jiang Xia with some puzzlement and asked, "This Li Gong, Liu Gong is?" ”

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "The two military advisors beside King Ning, Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng. ”

"Then you are preparing this note," Wang Shouren asked, looking at Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia opened the drawer of the bookcase and took out a wax pill specially used to hold secret notes. Jiang Xia said: "Now I am going to put this note into the wax pill and seal it, and then send someone to send the wax pill to Nanchang Ning Wangfu and hand it over to Li Shishi or Liu Yangzheng." ”

"Give it to them?" Wang Shouren was still a little puzzled, but Wang Shouren was Wang Shouren, and he understood Jiang Xia's intentions after a little groaning.

"I see. Fiction is real, reality is fiction, Brother Jiang is really strategic. Wang Shouren said with a smile.

He handed the wax pill to Jiang Xia and shook his head in admiration: "Why didn't I think of such a plan?" If I didn't expect it badly, Brother Jiang's wax pill would eventually fall into the hands of King Ning, right? ”

Jiang Xia also smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Mr. is talented, Jiang Xia admires." ”

Wang Shouren shook his head: "How can you talk about Brother Jiang?" ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Jiang Xia's wax pill was handed over to Qianjuexing, who rode a fast horse and galloped to Nanchang overnight. The four city gates of Nanchang have been closed at this moment, and people inside and outside the city are now not allowed to enter or leave.

But fortunately, Jiang Xia had already made arrangements, and after sending out a message fireworks, he waited outside the city, and at night, two people came out of the city and sent Qianjue Xing into the city from the waterway.

There was a curfew in the city, and there was not a single pedestrian on the streets, only the soldiers patrolling the Ning Wangfu were walking back and forth.

The three of them swaggered down the street, and before they had gone ten steps before they were spotted by the patrolling soldiers.

Qianjue Xing immediately said to the two Qianmen disciples beside him: "You run first, I'll stop them." ”

"Yes." The two Qianmen disciples didn't say anything and ran away directly.

Qian Juexing watched as the patrol team ran over, and then slowly drew a short sword from his body.

In the dim moonlight, a black-clad Qianjue Xing seemed to have melted into the night, and only a vague black shadow could be seen there.

Suddenly, Qianjuxing's figure flickered, and the whole person seemed to turn into an afterimage and rushed towards the patrolling soldiers.

I couldn't see anything concrete, only an afterimage wandering through the ranks of soldiers, and then the soldiers fell one by one.

Eventually, the soldiers blew the bamboo whistles, and the sharp whistles drew all the soldiers patrolling around.

Qianjue Xing's martial arts are good, but after all, it is a person and not a god, hearing dense footsteps and shouts, Qianjue Xing immediately began to run away.

At the speed of a thousand desperate lines, I am afraid that it will be difficult to catch him if I want to escape sincerely.

Eventually, the soldiers on patrol returned to clean up the corpses killed by the Thousands.

While moving one of the bodies, a soldier spotted him holding a cloth bag in his hand.

The soldier took the cloth bag out of the man's hand, then pulled the hole and poured a wax pellet out of it.

Crushed the wax pill and took out the note, the soldier looked at it twice and immediately exclaimed, "My lord, there is a discovery, there is a discovery."

In King Ning's mansion, Zhu Chenhao finally got the note written by Jiang Xia himself.

After reading the content of the note, Zhu Chenhao was silent for a moment, and finally ordered someone to call Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng to his study.

was called up at night, Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng's spirits were not very good. However, in the face of King Ning, the two of them still fought hard.

Zhu Chenhao glanced at the two of them suspiciously, and then asked: "Two gentlemen, now that I have some soldiers and horses heading to Jiujiang, I believe that it will not be long before I take Jiujiang." I don't know what the two gentlemen think we should do after taking Jiujiang? ”

Is this question still to be asked?

Li Shishi replied without thinking about it: "Back to the prince, after taking Jiujiang, you must immediately take the waterway to Nanjing, and you will be caught off guard by Nanjing." ”

"That's right." Liu Yangzheng echoed: "If you take Nanjing, the prince can first take Nanjing as the foundation and gradually encroach on Jiangnan." As long as you control Jiangnan in your hands, sooner or later the world will be the king's. ”

Sure enough, I want this king to fight Nanjing.

Zhu Chenhao said a sentence silently in his heart, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

However, Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng have not found out yet, and Zhu Chenhao asked again in order to be safe: "Nanjing is the capital of Liudu after all, and there are many soldiers and food in it." Did the two gentlemen think about it, after King Rong Ben took Jiujiang, he would take a short rest and send people to find out the truth of Nanjing, and then consider attacking Nanjing? ”

"No, absolutely not." Li Shishi immediately shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, the soldiers are fast, and the fighters are changing rapidly. If we take Jiujiang, we should take advantage of the momentum and attack Nanjing in one go, and we must not delay it. Once it is delayed, the fighters are delayed, and Nanjing is given the opportunity to prepare, it will be difficult to capture Nanjing. ”

Zhu Chenhao nodded after hearing this, and looked at Liu Yangzheng again.

Liu Yangzheng immediately nodded and said, "Lord Wang, what Gong Li said is very right. ”

Hearing Liu Yangzheng call Li Shishi "Li Gong", Zhu Chenhao immediately smiled
