In the afternoon, the 5,000 cavalry led by Jiang Bin came late, in fact, they were not to blame, when they arrived at the Jiujiang ferry, it coincided with Zhu Chenhao's warship leaving the mouth of Poyang Lake and entering the Yangtze River, and the area around the ferry was full of rebels.

As long as they arrived one day earlier, even if they couldn't catch up with this battle, they could at least meet the five thousand rebels who had evacuated from Nanchang City, Zhu Chenhao and the families of a rebellious official, and they were more likely to intercept a large amount of silver and grain grass and baggage, which was not much smaller than the credit for capturing Nanchang City.

I don't know, after knowing this, Jiang Bin beat his chest and scolded, but no one can blame this, and he can only be helpless. Wang Yong, who was attacking the city with Wang Shouren, comforted with some schadenfreude: "Marquis Jiang, fate dictates, manpower can't return to the sky, don't sigh." Maybe it's because Zhu Chenhao's anger is not exhausted, maybe it's because Marquis Jiang shouldn't have made such a great contribution, in short, relax your mood and plan for the future. ”

Jiang Bin rolled his eyes and was speechless.

At night, the luxurious and majestic Ning Wang's Mansion was brightly lit, and it naturally became Wang Shouren's command post, Jiang Bin, Wang Yong and others also lived here, and after taking Nanchang, Wang Shouren could finally convene the generals in the Ning Wang's Mansion with peace of mind.

In the palace hall, Wang Shouren is high on the main seat, although Jiang Bin Wang Yong and others are all marquises, and they are higher than Wang Shouren in the title, but Wang Shouren, as the deputy governor of the soldiers and horses of the counterinsurgency, is higher in position than Jiang Bin, Wang Yong and others, so they can only sit down and listen to things. There is a table in front of everyone, a small pot of wine and a few dishes on the table, which is extremely simple.

"Generals, tonight should have held a banquet to celebrate the capture of Nanchang City, but now the shape is still unclear, the old man will avoid this celebration, only talk about preparing water, wine and dishes to do his best, generals drink carefully, don't get drunk, because we still have things to discuss."

The generals said: "Follow the orders of the deputy governor." ”

Wang Shouren nodded slightly, raised his glass, took a sip, and said: "Based on the news from all sides, it can be seen that the main force led by the traitor Zhu Chenhao has gone down the river, and it is obvious that he is going to fight to the death to take Nanjing. Jiang Hou Ye said that the main force led by the Zhenguo Gong Office was divided into two, one towards Jiangxi and the other towards Nanjing for reinforcements, which shows that the Zhenguo Gong was prepared to attack Nanjing despite the rebels. On the one hand, he sent 5,000 cavalry of Marquis Jiang to appear in the eyes and ears of the rebels, which was to convey the signal to Zhu Chenhao that the army was coming, so that Zhu Chenhao did not dare to defend Jiangxi, and it was precisely because of this that we could take advantage of the situation to enter and capture Nanchang. To tell the truth, Nanchang City is not so much that we took it, but that it is better to say that the town and the state are strategizing and calculating. ”

Jiang Bin and Wang Yong looked at each other and smiled, thinking in their hearts: "This Wang Shouren is not stupid, in front of his two people who are beside Zhenguo Gong, he naturally said this to the two of himself, and the purpose is naturally to inform Song Nan through the mouth of the two of them, indicating that he is not greedy for merit." The old boy seems to be a rotten one, but he is actually slippery and tight. ”

"Counting the number of days, the rebels will arrive outside Nanjing within three days, and the soldiers and horses led by the Zhenguo Gong will arrive at that time, and this big battle is inevitable. It's a pity that we can't participate in its meeting, so we can only wish Zhenguo Gong a great defeat of the rebels, quell the rebellion against the king in one fell swoop, and return my Daming Society to Qingming and stability. Ladies and gentlemen, let's drink him dry this cup, and wish the Zhenguo Gongqi a victory. ”

",!" The crowd will raise a glass and drink to the bottom.

"Lord Wang, I will leave tomorrow, we must participate in this battle, originally I led 5,000 cavalry to come here to assist Lord Wang to capture Nanchang, now that Nanchang has been breached, although the official did not help much, but also to rush back to the army. I have 8,000 officers and soldiers in the battalion, but I still let others take care of it. Jiang Bin put down his wine glass and said.

Wang Shouren smiled and said: "This old man understands that Marquis Jiang and Wang Yan are naturally leaving, but Marquis Jiang is too modest, what does it mean that he didn't help?" If it weren't for Marquis Jiang and his five thousand brothers coming quickly, how would Zhu Chenhao have made up his mind to give up Nanchang? How can this official take this Nanchang City? However, the two of them are not in a hurry to leave, they will act together with the army of their own officials tomorrow, and they are not in a hurry at this time, even if they are in a hurry now, they may not be able to catch up with the battle in Nanjing. ”

Wang Yong asked, "What?" Is Lord Wang also going to war with his troops? ”

Wang Shouren shook his head and said: "The old man can't go, there are still rebels entrenched in various provinces in Jiangxi, and the old man wants to pacify them and completely wipe out the rebels in Jiangxi, which is also an extremely important thing, and cannot leave the slightest hidden danger of resurgence." But tomorrow, the old man will first lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to march to Nankang and Jiujiang with 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Jiang. Zhen Guogong is about to fight the main force of the rebels in Nanjing, although we can't participate in it in person, but after taking Jiujiang Nankang, we can cut off its back road, so that Zhu Chenhao has no place to stand, which must be what Zhen Guogong expects. ”

Jiang Bin's eyes lit up and he shouted: "That's right, let's take Jiujiang Nankang Anqing all the way, compress Zhu Chenhao's soldiers and horses between Nanjing and Anqing, and let them have no other ideas except for a decisive battle, this is the ultimate goal." ”

Wang Shouren nodded and said: "Indeed, the most troublesome thing about counterinsurgency is that the rebels are fleeing from all sides, and every time they flee to one place, they will plague the state capital and cause a catastrophe. Let's tighten the encirclement and force them to have no way out, this is the only way. If the old man didn't expect to be wrong, the soldiers and horses of Zhenguo Gong's troops marching west are afraid that they have turned to the north bank of the Yangtze River to prevent the rebels from attacking the north bank of the state capital, and the soldiers and horses on the south bank, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places are also approaching the south of the Yangtze River. ”

On the way here, Jiang Bin had already learned that the feint army led by Xu Tai had turned around and headed for Wuhu Dangtu and other places downstream of Anqing Mansion in the southeast, needless to say, it was to implement the policy of encirclement and prevention, if Zhu Chenhao dared to abandon the ship to attack the coastal state capital and open up another place to stand, Xu Tai would not hesitate to pounce on him. Since the soldiers and horses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have also been surrounded, the face of this encirclement plan is very clear. In the rear, Jiujiang, Anqing and other state capitals are the key places, and the grain and materials transported from Nanchang will definitely be hoarded in these places, and it is of great significance to recapture these places.

Jiang Bin's heart was pounding, his eyes rolled, he raised his glass to Wang Shouren, Wang Shouren smiled and raised his glass, the two drank the wine, Jiang Bin coughed and laughed: "This...... Lord Wang, this official has a reluctant request, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

Wang Shouren smiled and said, "Oh? About what? ”

Jiang Bin said: "Can you promise me first?" ”

Wang Shouren smiled and said, "Is it so mysterious? Do you want the old man to retire and talk privately? ”

Jiang Bin waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary." ”

Wang Shouren smiled and said, "Then the old man can guess what Marquis Jiang wants to say?" ”

Jiang Bin said: "Can you guess? ”

Wang Shouren said: "You can give it a try." Not...... I guess Lord Jiang wants me not to have to send troops to attack Nankang Jiujiang tomorrow, right? ”

Jiang Bin was taken aback and said in amazement: "How do you know? ”

Wang Shouren smiled and said: "It seems that the old man guessed correctly, you must say next, anyway, your five thousand soldiers and horses are also going to rush back, why not hand over the battle of attacking Nankang Jiujiang to you to solve easily, yes or no?" ”

Jiang Bin touched his forehead and said, "Oh, no wonder people call Lord Wang a saint in the world, if it is really extraordinary, can you guess this?" This is exactly what I want to say. You see, your soldiers and horses have just experienced a lot of attrition in the big war, and the brothers are also very tired from continuous battles, and now on the one hand, they have to quickly exterminate the rebels in Jiangxi, and they have to divide their troops to take Nankang and Jiujiang, which is too difficult for you. The official thought, since we are going to leave tomorrow, simply take these two cities along the way, lighten the burden for you, and quickly quell the rebels in several state capitals in the south, east and west, and do your best to stabilize the shape of Jiangxi. ”

Wang Shouren laughed and said: "Marquis Jiang's kindness, if Shouren doesn't appreciate it, I'm afraid he won't know how to lift it, since Marquis Jiang has mentioned it, he will arrange it according to Hou Ye's wishes, so Jiujiang Nankang will be handed over to Hou Ye to recover." ”

Jiang Bin was overjoyed and said: "A word is a certainty, can you go back?" ”

Wang Shouren smiled and said in his heart: You vulgar thing took me for a fool, as soon as I heard that it was a great credit to win Jiujiang Nankang, I wanted to grab this credit, but I didn't know that the old man wanted you to do it. The old man's soldiers and horses are only more than 20,000, and he really needs to rest, and it is not easy to pacify the rebels in the surrounding state capitals. That's all, if I take all the credit, won't I dislike you warriors who rob when they see profit? You are the people around Zhen Guogong, how can you not give the old man a bar when you go back? Although the old man doesn't care about this, why bother to provoke you villains? Hehe, you play your wishful thinking, and the old man also has his own little ninety-nine.
