It was not that the officers and troops of Huang Degong's department were too strong, and those who could fight in the left army did not dare to fight.

Therefore, the fierce battle in the entire Jiujiang area continued to restore tranquility in less than half a day.

Huang Degong was not idle, Zuo Liangyu's hundreds of thousands of troops entrenched on the other side of the bank were always a threat, and he did not dare to be distracted at all.

What's more, he is also responsible for such a long line of defense from Jiujiang to Anqing, and he must prevent Zuo Liangyu from changing the route of the army.

"You can't just wait for the left army to attack, Weng Zhiqi, your department immediately landed and rushed to Huangmei, seize Suzhou and Qianshan, and I will allocate 3,000 Ding Tie to ride on you!"

Weng Ziqi is Huang Degong's wife and brother, and Huang Degong's hardcore cronies, Huang Degong naturally will not worry that he will surrender to Zuo Liangyu with his own people.

Weng Ziqi responded, but said to Huang Degong in a low voice: "Hou Ye, if Jiujiang City is broken, it will not be in the officers and soldiers who can't defend it, the city is not strong, but in the family thief, Li Zicheng can attack the northern capital all the way from Taiyuan, causing the country to change color, and my Ming family thief opened the city and surrendered, Zhang Shixun is not under the command of my guards, whether he has the intention of surrendering to the enemy or not, it is best to get rid of it first, otherwise I will lead the troops here, he will become your biggest threat, you may not only get the prince, but also lose Jiujiang City." ”

Huang Degong nodded, and turned to look at Wu Mengming, who had already felt the commander of the Jinyi Guard in Jiujiang City: "Zhang Shixun, is it your Jinyi Guard who does it, or does Ben Jue do it himself?" ”

"This matter will not be distracted by the Marquis of Jingnan, and the general soldier of Weng can also rest assured that he will cross the river, if Jiujiang City is broken due to the betrayal of the internal thieves, I, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, will be the first to lose his head!"

Wu Mengming said that he personally went down to the city tower, and instructed Shen Lian, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei, who was in charge of the intelligence and internal cleaning of the Huguang Theater: "Zhang Shixun is executed immediately, and the Huguang Patrol is to be eliminated together with Huang Shu, who is the Imperial Historian, and this person dares to take the left army Zhang Yingyuan to raise food for Zuo Liangyu in Huangzhou Mansion, and suggests that Zuo Liangyu slaughter Wuchang and leave no one in the thief, which can be described as madness. ”

In fact, according to the original history, Zuo Liangyu raised troops at the end of March, but due to Zhu Youzhen's military reform and stricter suppression of the Donglin Party, Zuo Liangyu launched a rebellion on the Qing monarch's side in advance.

After all, if he doesn't rebel again, Zhu Youzhen will take the initiative to attack him, Zhu Youzhen has been letting Huang Degong's department recruit troops, almost equal to Zuo Liangyu's strength, but not just to let Huang Degong defend Zuo Liangyu.

As for whether Huang Degong will also sit big because of this, although Zhu Youzhen clearly expressed his complete belief in Huang Degong's personality, he also has his own way of defense, after all, Huang Degong's original station in history was in the hands of Liu Fangliang.

In other words, now Zhu Youzhen's military system for the prevention and control of Zuo Liangyu is first Huang Degong's department, and then Liu Fangliang's department.

Zhou Yujibu has been stationed in Shandong and Huaiyang, and He Xinbu is stable in Jiangnan and responds to the overall situation.

Although people's hearts are fickle, not all people are unethical, Huang Degong is also as evidenced by history, coupled with the temptation of Wang Jue, he does not have the ambition of speculation at this time, otherwise he would not have sent his own army to the tiger's den in order to block Zuo Liangyu's way to the north.

Weng Zhiqi personally led 20,000 naval troops, 30,000 soldiers and 2,000 iron cavalry to start a forced landing, and the left army did not expect Huang Degong to take the initiative to attack, and naturally did not expect to strengthen the river defense.

As soon as the official army Weng Zhiqi was attacking, in order to maintain his own strength, he directly retreated and held on, instead of repelling Weng Zhiqi's department, but only sent someone to inform Zuo Liangyu, saying that some officers and soldiers took advantage of this to cross the river and go north, etc.

"Bastard! Jiujiang City can't be broken, and now people take the initiative to attack, and they don't repel people, this Huang Degong is clearly to cut off my way to the north, and immediately ordered Zhang Yuanliang's troops to stop this official army in Huangmei, and the Daoxing Department immediately pursued! ”

Zuo Liangyu was so angry that he directly vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and after speaking, he pointed to Jiujiang City on the other side of the bank to Zhang Shenyan: "Ge Lao, this Jiujiang City has strong defenses, and Huang Degong has a strong intention to defend it, and even does not hesitate to take the initiative to attack, what plan do you have?" ”

"Zuo Gong don't have to be discouraged, Your Majesty has gone against the grain, the traitors in the court and the government are chaotic, although there are such stubborn people as Huang Degong, but there are also people who understand right and wrong, before this, I have secretly passed the Jiujiang General Soldier Zhang Shixun, this person has already contacted the prison army Li Youlong, and intends to open the city and belong to Zuo Gong! It's just that I'm afraid that Huang Degong has a lot of people, and he can't act rashly, but now that Huang Degong has divided his troops to attack, it is just an opportunity, Zuo Gong only needs to send someone to infiltrate Jiujiang City to instigate this person! ”

Zhang Shenyan smiled faintly after speaking.

"Then please ask the prison army to run", Zuo Liangyu looked at Li Youlong on the side.

Weng Zhiqi did not go to attack the Jingjiang Inspection Division at this time, he had no intention of fighting with Luo Dai, after ordering 20,000 sailors to return to defend Jiujiang, he immediately ordered 30,000 soldiers to rush to Huangmei, and he himself brought 3,000 iron cavalry to occupy Susong first.

From the beginning of Huang Degong's faction Weng Zhiqi to take the initiative to attack the area controlled by the Left Army, it means that history has changed, and the official army is not passively defending against the attack of the Left Army, but actively and actively defending, on the contrary, the Left Army is still cramped in the southern part of Huangzhou Prefecture, and is even led by Huang Degong.

As for the eradication of internal thieves, Jinyiwei has already begun to do it.

As soon as Weng Zhiqi left the city, Shen Lian, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, immediately issued an assassination order, and thirty Jinyiwei masters broke into Zhang Shixun's mansion immediately after nightfall, and within a moment's hour, Zhang Shixun's head was cut off and immediately sent to Huang Degong's case.

"Hang Zhang Shixun's head above the city gate, and the Jinyi guard personally warns the defenders in the city that those who dare to fornicate with the rebels will not be tolerated!"

As soon as Huang Degong finished speaking, Wu Mengming stopped Huang Degong: "Jingnan Hou is slow, at this time, it is still early to take Zhang Shixun's head to guard the officers and soldiers guarding the city, although the thieves are removed, but the foreign thieves are not removed, if the lower officials are not bad, the left army sees that the siege is not effective, and sees that you divide your troops to cross the river, I am afraid that we can't wait to send someone to contact Zhang Shixun, we might as well fake the show and wait for the rabbit!" ”

"Commander Wu is very serious, then don't hang his head first, and order to go down, tonight Benjue will visit General Zhang's Mansion to discuss the major affairs of defending the city!"

Huang Degong said and re-issued the order.

Wu Mengming also gave such instructions after showing the head to Huang Degong: "Zhang Shixun's people are not left, and all of them have not been killed!" In addition, do a good job of covering up, don't let people outside know that Zhang Shixun and his party have been punished, go to the city gates everywhere to observe carefully, especially after the time, don't take it lightly, once you find a suspicious person mixed into the city, immediately follow up, if this person goes to Zhang Shixun's mansion, arrest it first! ”
