As soon as the general's voice fell, someone immediately stood up and objected: "Don't forget, we were ordered by the prince to go to Ji'an County, although Wang Shouren led the soldiers and horses to leave Ji'an County, but the governor Chen Tai is still in Ji'an County, and the last general thinks that we should go to Ji'an County." ”

The general shook his head when he heard this: "That being said, don't forget, that is Nanchang City, which is the rear of the prince, if there is any accident in Nanchang City, do you know how much impact it will have on the prince's great cause?" ”

It was still the corner of the general's mouth that showed a little smile and said: "The prince has left the little prince to sit in Nanchang City, especially there are tens of thousands of troops in Nanchang City, plus Nanchang City, don't say that Wang Shouren only has 20,000 soldiers and horses, even if there are more, I am afraid that he will not be able to take Nanchang City." ”

The two generals had a conflict over whether to go to the rescue of Nanchang City, and these generals under Zheng Qi were naturally divided into two factions, each with their own reasons, even Zheng Qi couldn't help frowning.

His eyes fell on Zuo Lengchan, who was sitting next to him, Zheng Qi's eyes lit up, he looked at Zuo Lengchan and said, "Mr. Zuo, I don't know if you have any suggestions for this?" ”

Don't look at Zuo Lengchan has no influence in the army, but Zheng Qi and the others don't dare to underestimate the other party. After all, King Ning still attaches great importance to Zuo Lengchan, and among King Ning's faction, Zuo Lengchan's status is still quite high.

And this time he asked King Ning to send Zuo Lengchan to accompany him, precisely because he knew Zuo Lengchan's ability, otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to ask King Ning.

Zuo Lengchan glanced at Zheng Qi lightly and said: "This kind of military aircraft matter, Zuo is not good at interjecting, but according to Zuo's opinion, Ji'an County is far less important than the safety of Nanchang City." ”

Zheng Qi couldn't help but have a bright light in his eyes when he heard this, in fact, he also faintly preferred to go to Nanchang City in his heart, after all, Nanchang City was the rear of King Ning, and if there was a problem, Nanchang City could not have a problem, otherwise it would inevitably shake the hearts of the front-line soldiers.

It's just that Zheng Qi was a little hesitant before, but after listening to Zuo Lengchan's words at this time, Zheng Qi made a decision in his heart, and arched his hand slightly at Zuo Lengchan, and then his expression was straight, and his eyes swept over the generals and said: "Everyone, this general already has an idea!" ”

Hearing that Zheng Qi had already made a decision, the generals looked at Zheng Qi with solemn expressions.

I only heard Zheng Qi say slowly: "Order the three armies, go to Nanchang City immediately!" ”

The army turned around and headed straight for Nanchang City.

At this time, Wang Shouren still led the army to appear under the city of Nanchang.

The army of as many as 20,000 was encamped under the city, and the momentum was extremely amazing, and the entire Nanchang City was alarmed by the army outside the city.

Nanchang, as the nest of King Ning, has naturally been in business for a long time, and it can be said that the top and bottom of Nanchang City have long been controlled by King Ning.

After King Ning raised his troops, he replaced the upper and lower departments of Nanchang City, and all of them were replaced by his own henchmen, which can be said to have built Nanchang City as solid.

Even under such important circumstances as the army conquering Nanjing, King Ning still left 10,000 elite soldiers and horses in Nanchang City, and sent his nephew Zhu Gongjiao and his servant Wan Rui to assist his son in Nanchang City.

Nanchang City, Ningwang Mansion

It is naturally impossible for Wang Shouren and others to hide such a big movement from everyone in the city.

In the palace, more than a dozen figures gathered together, the first one was dressed in a python suit, with a bit of panic on his face, it was the eldest son of King Ning.

King Ning has a total of four sons, but he has no name on the outside, but he is called by the eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother, and the fourth brother, which is very strange.

Sitting at the head of King Ning's eldest son was King Ning's nephew, Zhu Gongjiao.

Zhu Gongzhang was named the King of Yichun, and it can be said that he is a loyal supporter of King Ning, his own ability is not bad, and he is highly valued by King Ning, and even handed over important things such as sitting in Nanchang City to Zhu Gongzhang to do.

Wan Rui, the chamberlain, stood beside King Ning's eldest son, his face was calm, and he was obviously an unusual figure.

The eldest son of King Ning glanced at everyone, and said with a little eagerness: "Everyone, my father is out on an expedition, and this prince is ordered to sit in this Nanchang City, and now Wang Shouren's army is outside, I don't know when it will attack the city, do you have any countermeasures?" ”

A general glanced at Zhu Gongjiao, then looked at King Ning's eldest son, stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, the last general thinks that Wang Shouren came to attack Nanchang City, and this move is related to whether the foundation of the prince's great cause is stable or not, so the last general suggested that His Royal Highness should immediately send someone to inform the prince, ask the prince to send someone back, and kill Wang Shouren first." ”

When the general's voice fell, he heard Zhu Gongjiao sneer: "It's ridiculous, the prince is going all out to attack Nanjing City at the moment, as long as he captures Nanjing City, the world will inevitably be shaken, and most of the south of the Yangtze River will also fall into the hands of the prince. ”

King Ning's eldest son is obviously a person who has no backbone, and after listening to Zhu Gongjiao's words at this time, he subconsciously looked at Wan Rui beside him.

Compared with Zhu Gongjiao, King Ning's eldest son actually trusts Wan Rui, the palace servant, a little more, after all, Wan Rui is King Ning's confidant, and the reason why Wan Rui was left in Nanchang City was not to check and balance Zhu Gongzhang.

No matter how much King Ning relied on Zhu Gongjiao, the other party was not his own son, just a nephew, and he was really worried that Zhu Gongjiao would take advantage of his attack on Nanjing.

Wan Rui noticed the gaze of King Ning's eldest son, and said with a slight smile: "Don't panic, big brother, when Wang Shouren's soldiers came to the city, the old slave had already sent someone to pay homage to the prince, I believe that if the prince received the news, he would inevitably send a large army to help, and even it is not impossible for the prince to lead the army back, only 20,000 Wang Shouren's army, once the prince's army returns, it can naturally be easily suppressed." ”

Zhu Gongzhuo's expression couldn't help but change when he heard this, and he suddenly got up and said, "Manager Wan, you ...... Are you going to miss the great cause of the prince? ”

Wan Rui glanced at Zhu Gongjiao with a calm expression, arched his hand and said: "The old slave only knows that Nanchang City is the foundation of the prince, since the prince believes in the old slave, then the old slave must help the prince take care of his family, Nanjing City is there, attack one day earlier, attack one day later, with the help of those families in the south of the Yangtze River, Nanjing City will definitely be broken, but Wang Shouren's threat is imminent!" ”

Zhu Gongjiao flicked his sleeves angrily and said, "You...... If the prince doesn't take Nanjing City in one go, once the imperial court reacts and the army goes south, I'm afraid that the prince will have no chance to break through Nanjing City! ”

Saying that, Zhu Gongjiao said to Wan Rui and the eldest son of King Ning: "This king will send someone to summon the prince, and implore the prince to focus on the overall situation, Wang Shouren's army, this king will retreat with all his strength, and he must not fall for Wang Shouren's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao!" ”

Just by looking at Zhu Gongjiao, he can see the importance of Nanjing City to King Ning, as well as Wang Shouren's intention to besiege Nanchang City without attacking it, and it can be seen that Zhu Gongzhu's vision is not bad.

As if he was not annoyed at all, he smiled slightly: "Could it be that King Yichun still has a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" If this is the case, then the old slave may not have to suggest that the prince does not need to return to the army. ”

Glaring at Wan Rui fiercely, Zhu Gongjiao took a deep breath, his gaze swept over the crowd, and said slowly: "There are still tens of thousands of elite troops in the city, in addition, among the major families in the city, thousands of young and strong families can also be dispatched to help defend the city. ”

Saying that, Zhu Gongjiao looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Do you dare to follow this king to defend Nanchang City and wait for the good news of the prince's breakthrough of Nanjing City?" ”

In the hall, a group of people glanced at each other, and finally said to Zhu Gongjiao: "I am willing to defend Nanchang City with the prince." ”

Outside the city, Wang Shouren's army has completed the encampment, and at this moment, in the big tent in the village, Wang Shouren is in the position of the commander in armor, and below is dozens of generals in the army.

With a gleam in his eyes, Wang Shouren glanced at the generals and said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't have to break through Nanchang City on this trip, but we must make a momentum to force King Ning to return to the army." ”

For Wang Shouren's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, everyone naturally agreed, although once King Ning returned to the army, they would have a great possibility of being attacked by the rebels before and after, but if they could relieve the crisis of Nanjing City, then for them, it would definitely be a great achievement.

It's just a Nanchang city, even if Nanchang City is the place where King Ning's lair is, but for the imperial court, it is not a Nanchang City, even if it is ten Nanchang Cities, it is not as important as Nanjing City.

If it weren't for the lack of time, Wang Shouren would definitely not use any strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao, after all, he was not sure that King Ning would give up attacking Nanjing City and return to the army after receiving the news that Nanchang City was besieged.

If King Ning returns to the army, it will naturally be the best, but King Ning also has capable people around him, in case King Ning doesn't care about Nanchang City, then his strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao will be useless.

The guerrilla general Fang Zhongming glanced at Wang Shouren and raised this point with some doubts.

Wang Shouren glanced at Fang Zhongming with appreciation, don't look at the dozens of generals present, but there are not many people who can see these problems like Fang Zhongming.

Glancing at the crowd lightly, Wang Shouren's eyes flashed with a gleam and said: "If King Ning doesn't return to Nanchang City, then we will break through Nanchang City and completely occupy King Ning's lair." ”

Many people's eyes lit up when they heard this, if it is as Wang Shouren said, then no matter whether they succeed or fail this time, they will gain something.

Even if the city of Nanjing was lost and they broke through the city of Nanchang, then the imperial court could not blame them, and even rewarded them.

Therefore, Wang Shouren's choice is definitely beneficial and harmless to them, no matter what choice King Ning makes, they at least don't have to worry about being punished by the imperial court.

More than a dozen waves of fast horses came out of Nanchang City, and for these envoys sent by Nanchang City, Wang Shouren and them symbolically blocked them, but they only shot some of them, and let go of a large part, and the intention was self-evident.

If you want to force King Ning to come back, you must at least let the people sent out by the city inform King Ning of the situation in Nanchang City. Otherwise, they had done so much, and as a result, King Ning had not received any news from him, wouldn't he have shown it to the blind?

The rumbling shouts of killing came from the front, and Wang Shouren came to the front of the battle, looking ahead.

Under the city of Nanchang, a team of soldiers carried a long ladder and a shield, facing waves of arrows, rolling wood and even fire oil above their heads to attack the city frantically.

The shouts of killing and screaming are endless, and it is completely a siege.

Wang Shouren's attack on Nanchang City did have the intention of forcing King Ning to return to help, but for this Nanchang City, he made up his mind and wanted to occupy it no matter what.

King Ning returned to help, or if he didn't come back, he wanted to occupy Nanchang City, so he attacked the city without the slightest intention of sparing.

On the first day, the 20,000 army led by Wang Shouren suffered more than 1,000 casualties, accounting for more than a dozen of the entire army.

Such heavy casualties were not without effect, and during this period, the imperial court soldiers and horses climbed the city wall several times to fight the rebels on the city wall.

Wang Shouren watched the soldiers on the city wall being strangled by the crazy rebels, and couldn't help but sigh, not all the people in this city are incompetent, otherwise, the defense on the city wall would not be so orderly.

With a wave of his hand, he heard Wang Shouren say slowly: "Order, retire!" ”

Suddenly, the rapid horn sounded, and the imperial soldiers and horses who were besieging the city under Nanchang heard the horn of the withdrawal of the troops, and were stunned at first, and then retreated like a tide.

Standing on the city wall, Zhu Gongjiao couldn't help but relax as he watched the soldiers and horses of the imperial court retreat, his body shook, and he almost fell to the ground.

You must know that he pinched a cold sweat before, and he was pampered in Su Ri, how could he have experienced such a bloody and tragic battle scene.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't hold back his breath, and there was a city wall as a barrier, Zhu Gongzhu would have to wonder if he would have the courage to face such a scene.

With a bang, I saw the eldest son of King Ning roaring at Zhu Gongjiao: "Is this what you said about defending to the death, it's just one day, Wang Shouren's troops and horses have attacked the city wall several times, you tell me, when will Wang Shouren break through Nanchang City, and kill me and capture me alive?" ”

Obviously, the eldest son of King Ning was frightened, who let that wave of news come, the eldest son of King Ning was shocked, and he was always worried about whether the news he received at the next moment was that the city wall was broken and the imperial army entered the city.

That kind of torment is even much stronger than Zhu Gongjiao sitting on the city wall and being able to look directly at the entire battle situation.

King Ning's eldest son has been able to hold on until now, and he has not been driven crazy by the exciting news of the imperial court soldiers and horses climbing the city wall again and again, which is already quite rare after that.
