The results of this private deal were considered to be in their own hands.

First of all, of course, Xue Yongli promised Lu Jiude: Runing Army has absolutely no objection, and is absolutely loyal to the emperor and the court. As for the artillery of the 5th Battalion of the Revolution, it was also captured and manufactured by them themselves, and had nothing to do with the Runing Army.

This promise at least made the current Lu Jiude no longer worry, and the Runing Army would not threaten Nanjing now. As for what the future holds? Did Ru Ningjun really think so in his heart? Let's pretend to be confused!

And Lu Jiude now has the certainty of controlling the situation. The 5,000 troops of Nanzhili, facing the 2,000 Runing Army, took care of the 100,000 Gezuo 5th Battalion placed on the spot, and the contrast was more than enough. Even if you can't deal with it, with 2,000 Runing troops, you can't afford to make a big storm, and Nanjing City also has enough warning time.

However, Lu Jiude didn't know how terrifying the system of integrating military and civilian affairs was in Runing Juntun Tian Zhuangzi. Of course, this is also the result of the internal situation that the Runing Army has been blockading, so that the outside world does not know much about it.

But no matter what, the battle in front of us has finally been resolved. Moreover, Xue Yongli was very good, and gave Lu Jiude, who commanded and annihilated the 5th Battalion of the Revolution this time. Therefore, Lu Jiude also suffered several defeats and unexpectedly became the commander of a brilliant victory, which made Lu Jiude feel a kind of pie-in-the-sky joy.

As for the generous gifts received, it was a surprise for Lu Jiude. So in order to make a good relationship, Lu Jiude also sent two famous prostitutes who Wu Shigong "never forgot" in Nanjing. And Wu Shigong, who is now in Liaodong, has two more little wives so inexplicably.

As for Gu Hengbo and Liu Ruyi's opinions? Will Lu Jiude be opposed by them? The kind of reputation touted by the scribes is a scum in the eyes of the powerful. It's just that I don't want to get into such a notoriety at ordinary times.

Unexpectedly, under the propaganda of Ruan Dacheng and Hou Fangyu intentionally or unintentionally, Nanjing City applauded this gift. As long as it can be guaranteed that the literati are still in Jinling City, who will care about those two former masters? As for the old man who beat his chest and stomped like a gorilla, he was "out of love" - Qian Qianyi. All the people in Nanjing City were completely ignored at this time.

And because of the agreement, the Runing Army was finally able to get out. Because the bargaining time is too long, the battle situation in Huguang and Henan has changed a lot. Zhang Xianzhong's troops and the Li and Luo coalition forces set off a big storm one after another.

But hearing the news from Huguang and Henan, Xue Yongli couldn't take the liberty of giving up, otherwise he would have made a pot of raw rice. So Xue Yongli could only hold on. It was not until an agreement was reached and the 5th Battalion of Gezuo was roughly placed that Xue Yongli led the main force back to aid Runing. However, at this time, it was already August of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen.

In April, Zhang Xianzhong's troops attacked Yingshan and could not descend, so this peasant army crossed the river again. With lightning speed, he turned to attack Suizhou, and conquered it within a day. And the actions of this peasant army made the remaining Runing army stand on end, because they were too close to Nanyang and the southern area of Runing.

Fortunately, after conquering Suizhou. Zhang Xianzhong's troops did not move quickly, and they began to sweep the nearby area. And Zhao Degong, who was stationed in Nanyang Fucheng, was restless. It was the first time he had encountered such a difficult moment. Therefore, he repeatedly asked Zhang Biao for help and asked him to send additional reinforcements.

But where did Zhang Biao get the extra manpower? Now the Runing army left behind must be fortified everywhere to defend against the peasant army in the north and south directions, and there are already more than 3,500 people in the city of Nanyang Prefecture, and these troops should be enough to defend such a medium-sized city.

So Zhang Biao took hundreds of personal soldiers to Nanyang Mansion City to understand the situation. Only then did the problem be discovered, it turned out that the civil officials in the city such as the prefect of Nanyang were very uncooperative with Zhao Degong's city defense affairs.

This is also the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, where civilian officials are in charge of all military and civilian affairs. But now it's a real war. When he met such a civilian official who likes to monopolize everything and knows nothing about military affairs, Zhao Degong, who still has a traditional concept of officialdom, is a little shy back.

So Zhang Biao taught Zhao Degong face-to-face: In the Runing Army, the waist pole of the officer is the hardest, and as long as it is a military issue, the civilian official must stand aside. So Zhang Biao supported Zhao Degong and asked him to let go of his hands and feet, and if anything went wrong, it was all borne by Runing Jun.

Now Zhao Degong has the courage. His family lineage is not that he is incompetent, or he has little experience in field warfare, but he is familiar with defending the city. Therefore, Zhao Degong ignored the opposition of the Nanyang prefect, requisitioned strong men in the city, concentrated medicinal materials and grain and grass, and strengthened the city wall, preparing for the siege of the peasant army.

Although the Nanyang prefect, who was deprived of his rights, constantly protested, he could not resist Zhao Degong, who held the military power. After Xiucai met the soldiers a few times, the Nanyang prefect and other civil officials could only hide in the yamen and sulk.

And Zhao Degong's decisive behavior was very timely. In June, Zhang Xianzhong's troops finally let go of their hands and began to besiege Nanyang Fucheng in the south. And he also divided his troops to the east, and wanted to move east to Xinyang.

However, the operations of these two armies were not going well. Zhang Xianzhong's troops who attacked Nanyang lost their troops under the city, and after repeated setbacks, they encountered a surprise attack by Zhang Biao's regiment to train the town, so they had no choice but to give up the siege.

However, Zhang Xianzhong's troops in Xinyang in the east were blocked by Yang Rusong's Tiger Roar Town at the junction of Runing and Nanyang, and failed to gain the upper hand in several field battles. If it weren't for Yang Rusong's lack of troops, He Fei's rotation training association would have to guard against the northern part of Runing, and maybe it would have been defeated by Runing's army.

Seeing this opportunity, Zuo Liangyu, who had been rushing back to Huguang without moving, also dispatched, taking advantage of the convergence of the peasant armies of these two roads, Zuo Liangyu led his troops to defeat Zhang Xianzhong, and wounded him in this battle, and the report that reached the imperial court was suspected of killing Zhang Thief.

Zhang Xianzhong, who fled on the way, was not alone, and his remnants were defeated by Wang Yuncheng again. So the desperate Zhang Xianzhong also defected to the Li and Luo coalition forces.

But at this time, Li Zicheng was a strong soldier, and he also proposed that Zhang Xianzhong "meet him with a trilogy, and if he doesn't obey, he wants to kill him". The scene from two years ago was staged again, but the roles were changed, it was really feng shui in turn!

However, Luo Rucai is really righteous, although he also has contradictions with Zhang Xianzhong, but at this time he dissuaded Li Zicheng. and privately gifted Zhang Xianzhong 500 horsemen, and sent Zhang Xianzhong out of the camp, so that he had a chance to make a comeback. (To be continued......)
