Chapter 612: The old trick repeats itself

But as soon as she heard Wu Shigong's name, Gu Hengbo, who had not spoken, became petty, and she poured cold water and said: "Then Wu Runing is in a gap with the imperial court, will he listen to the court's summons?" After finishing speaking, Gu Hengbo's nose wrinkled, looking incredulous.

Hou Fangyu hurriedly defended: "Don't say that the grievances have been resolved, the Holy Son of Heaven has already issued an edict. Even Wu Changjing is a person who has always been loyal. He has not yet acted in disrespect. Gu everyone dare to bet with me, Xiaosheng goes to a letter, and Wu Changjing will send troops. The loser showed his skills in front of everyone, Bo Jun smiled, and also added an elegant thing for Qin Huai? ”

"Bet! Bet! Say yes! ......" The scholars and everyone on the side immediately coaxed. This bet on the Fengyue field is Qin Huaihe's favorite entertainment!

That Gu Hengbo bit his red lip and said, "Bet, bet!" Her words immediately caused an earth-shattering round of applause.

After the cheering stopped, Hou Fangyu smiled again: "But Xiaosheng also has a reluctant request, in order to increase the success, I still need the help of Liu and Gu!" ”

Liu Ru, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, immediately said, "Huh? With a sound, she didn't expect that she would be shot while lying down, so Liu Ru asked, "What does the son want the slave family to help?" ”

Hou Fangyu's smile was full of jokes, and he said: "Then Wu Changjing will never forget the two of you, if you each go to a letter, then Wu Changjing will not hesitate to laugh." ”

The sound of daxiao erupted again in the eyebrow tower. However, Gu and Liu were also used to seeing this kind of scene, and they said generously: "Just write!" I want to convince my son to lose! ”

In fact, Liu Ru is and Gu Hengbo's hearts are also secretly cool. In this way, if Wu Weifu sent troops, Jiangnan Shilin would definitely not count this account to the imperial court's summons.

And "Jinling Sun News" will also make headlines: There is a military attache who rushed to Jinling, that is, to protect the flowers for the sixth and Gu Ershu. That's fantastic news!

Although Liu Ru and Gu Hengbo have no good impression of Wu Shigong, but at the feet of Qin Huai's famous prostitute, don't they step on tens of thousands of sad men? How sad it is for a woman to have no love. Even if you step on it, a man will cry. From now on, Liu Rushi and Gu Hengbo's reputation will definitely go to the next level.

……

Don't talk about Liu Ru and Gu Hengbo becoming nymphomaniac; Not to mention that Wu Shigong's family sat firmly and the peach blossoms came up, with the advocacy of scholars like Hou Fangyu, the public opinion of sending troops in Jinling City was flourishing, and those civil officials were also a little unable to resist, so they found Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, again, and wanted to negotiate a proper method. And Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, also made concessions, and he also took out his own goods at the bottom of the box.

At this time, there were 30,000 officers and soldiers in the city of Nanjing. In the vicinity of Nanjing, there were also tens of thousands of officers and soldiers. But most of these officers and soldiers are guards and soldiers, and they are local soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, so their combat effectiveness is indeed weak.

But among these officers and soldiers, there is also a crack division. That was the garrison camp of Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei. Unlike the nobles of Beijing, the nobles of Nanjing all held military positions. And Wei Guogong was also the garrison of Nanjing City.

The garrison battalion of Wei Guogong had 3,000 soldiers. And the other Nanjing nobles also had more than 1,000 soldiers. Like the Xue Mansion guards, these soldiers were all noble private soldiers, well-equipped, highly skilled, well-nourished, and in good health, and they were all trained as officers.

What's even more valuable is that these private soldiers have combat experience. In the rebellion of luxury, these private soldiers took turns to fight. Basically, I've seen blood. And Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, contributed this treasure. He drew 1,005 from his garrison battalion and other noble private soldiers, plus other officers and soldiers, to make 5,000 soldiers and horses, under the leadership of Xu Hongji, a general named Xu Ming. Huang Degong who rushed to the aid of Hanshan.

After talking about the battlefield in Jiangbei, it is time to talk about the Zhang and Luo coalition forces in Jiangnan.

Because of the unpredictable actions in Anqing, the Ming army was exhausted, so that it finally revealed its flaws, and was seized by the Zhang and Luo coalition forces to fight a siege and annihilation battle, so this time the Zhang and Luo coalition forces wanted to repeat the old tricks.

First of all, the combined forces of Zhang and Luo will definitely not be able to stay where they are. It was a taboo for the soldiers to be attacked by the enemy, so they turned to the southeast, and the front of the army was directed at Hangzhou.

And this unexpected action completely confused the Ming army.

According to the pre-war assumption of the Ming army, because of the barrier of the Yangtze River, it was impossible for the Zhang and Luo coalition forces to cross the river smoothly, so the Ming army originally formed an iron triangle and wanted to form an encirclement and completely cripple the Zhang and Luo coalition forces. The two corners of the Iron Triangle are, of course, Lu Jiude's Department and Zuo Liangyu's Department, and the other corner is the Zhejiang Army stationed in Hangzhou and Huzhou.

And among all the impressions, the corners of Hangzhou and Huzhou are the strongest. In addition to Hangzhou, which is the provincial capital of Zhejiang, with a strong city and heavy troops, the famous Qi family army was the Zhejiang army.

But now, the mantle of the Qi family army has been left with little left, the elite of the Zhejiang army has consumed a batch in the Korean battle of the three major expeditions of Wanli, and the whole army has been wiped out in the battle of Salhu, and the seeds of the Qi family army in Zuihou have all been consumed in the rebellion of Denglai Kongyoude.

And because the foreign ocean was completely controlled by Zheng Zhilong, and Zheng Zhilong also changed from pirates to maritime merchants, so the threat of Japanese pirates in Zhejiang no longer existed, therefore, Hangzhou's armaments were quite lax, and the so-called heavy troops only existed on paper, and most of the soldiers were lent and leased out as labor by their own guard officers, so Hangzhou's defense was almost in a state of undefense. Of course, they all know how to deceive and conceal things, and Lu Jiude and they still think that Hangzhou is impregnable.

So when Lu Jiude received an urgent letter from the governor of Zhejiang, he almost turned his back on it. Because at this time, Zhejiang didn't dare to hide it, and Lu Jiude finally knew what Hangzhou was like. Unexpectedly, the strongest corner became the weakest corner. In desperation, Lu Jiude could only divide his troops, and he asked Liu Yuanbin to lead 3,000 troops to aid Hangzhou.

In fact, the target of the Zhang and Luo coalition forces was Lu Jiude. In their eyes, Zuo Liangyu is a border soldier, Lu Jiude is a Jiangnan soldier, and the persimmon must be staring at the soft pinch.

And the feints of the Zhang and Luo coalition are quite realistic. On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, they stormed Xuancheng. Although the soldiers and civilians of Xuancheng fought hard to defend, they only held out for one day in the vast sea of people of the peasant army. Then, the army of the peasant army marched mightily to Guangde.

But everyone didn't notice that the army of the peasant army was full of old and weak women and children, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, with their respective elites, had already broken away from the army, and they had already quietly moved. (To be continued......)
