The left battalion was dispatched, and all kinds of news came out.

Among them, the news of Zuo Menggeng's surrender to Azig was confirmed, and the world was shocked.

Almost everyone scolded Zuo Mengeng angrily, and at the same time felt sorry for Zuo Liangyu, why did he give birth to such a thing.

You know, that's 800,000 soldiers.

As long as Zuo Mengeng keeps it tightly in his hand, how can he be a marquis, at least a warlord.

Who would have thought that he had surrendered Jianyu by a ghost, I heard that he had also lost the command of the army, which was really a good card to play.

It's just a pity for those soldiers and horses.

The imperial court spent a lot of money to raise it for so many years, and it was easy to get into the hands of Azig.

Not to mention the crimes committed by Azig in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Guanzhong, and Hanzhong, nor to mention the losses and blood feuds caused by his years of entering the customs and looting, only to say that he is now deep in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty and the danger he poses to the Central Plains Dynasty is enough to make everyone fearful.

Now, he has 800,000 more new troops. How could it not be frightening the officials and literati of the Ming Dynasty.

Only a day later, an even more terrifying news spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Azig led an army of nearly 800,000 people, bypassed all the cities, attacked thousands of miles, and went straight to Emperor Chongzhen, who visited Huangshan!

The detectives who inquired about the movements galloped back and forth, just to find out the latest movements for their superiors.

On the line from Jiujiang to Huizhou, it is common to see cavalry galloping to report news.

The latest news from Nanjing was that the Azig's vanguard army was less than 50 miles away from the emperor's guard of honor, and it only took half a day's journey to march rapidly.

What's even more terrifying is that the emperor didn't send any people to ask for help, and there was no news, as if he was cut off from the outside world.

What does this mean!

It shows that the emperor is surrounded by Azig and is unable to ask for help!

But where the emperor is, no one knows.

The emperor was in danger, panic spread rapidly, many officials took action, and the prefect of Huizhou issued an order on behalf of the king of Qin, calling on the surrounding rebels to come to help. He himself also rushed to the rescue with the government servants and militia, but unfortunately his strength was not good, and before he could get close to Dongsheng Mountain, he was scattered by the stragglers on the periphery of Jianyu and fled back.

When the other state officials saw this, they had no choice but to send as many soldiers as possible, gather together, form a joint force, and then go to support.

However, because there were too many recruits and few weapons, they really could not form combat effectiveness, and they did not dare to attack.

There are also people who are quite negative, and even look on coldly, ready to sit and watch Chongzhen die in battle:

"If Chongzhen is mourned, after the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely give amnesty to the world, and those who are exiled to Liaodong this month may be able to be released back! Our land will be returned."

He Tengjiao, who led the army to gallop, learned that Chongzhen was surrounded by Azig, and was so frightened that he immediately abandoned his original destination, turned to the east with his team, and rushed towards Huizhou.

Finally, in the Jiaotan area north of Jingdezhen, he encountered the army led by Ma Shixiu, the general of the left battalion.

He Tengjiao and Ma Shixiu had two tentative confrontations, quickly retreated and set up camp, and did not fight again.

Subsequently, the messengers of the two sides continued to exchange letters, and the two armies exchanged letters frequently.

Obviously, He Tengjiao knew that there were fewer people than Ma Shixiu, and it was impossible for him to defeat the army of the left battalion, so he had to know it with reason and emotion, and tried to persuade him to surrender.

He Tengjiao knew that the rebellion of Zuo Ying was Zuo Mengeng's decision, and Ma Shixiu, as a general, could not be stopped.

But if Azig is defeated in the future, Ma Shixiu will definitely die. If Ma Shixiu turns back to the shore now and takes refuge in the imperial court to fight back against Zuoying and Azig, then there is still a way to live.

Ma Shixiu is also quite clear about this, but he can't see the future situation clearly, and it is difficult to determine the final winner of this big battle.

The military order sent by Wang Shizhong was shelved by him, and he resolutely did not continue to attack Chongzhen in the east.

Of course, Ma Shixiu did not attack He Tengjiao, and agreed to surrender, waiting for the order of the imperial court to pardon. He told He Tengjiao not to pay attention to himself, and he could just bypass the east and rescue the driver by himself.

Ma Shiying's 70,000 soldiers of the left battalion came to a halt.

He Tengjiao made a detour carefully, and after seeing that Ma Shixiu really did not move, he put his mind at ease, although Ma Shixiu did not help him to quell the rebellion and save the driver, but it was also excellent to stand still like this.

He went east without looking back, and ignored the 70,000 army again.

……

At the same time, the army sent to Jiujiang by the prince before, after learning of Chongzhen's danger, did not pause, quickly crossed the river to the south, and quickly intercepted the 50,000 people and considerable warships after the left camp in the Xiangshui area on the south side of the Jiujiang River, leaving most of the soldiers to control the left camp, and a small part continued to go south.

As soon as the officials from Anqing, Chaoxian and other places fled to Nanjing arrived in Wuhu, they were beheaded by Hu Guozhu, who came to the west to rescue them, and then Hu Guozhu led the Flying Dragon Army to gallop all the way, and now has reached Nanling, and the sword is pointed directly at Huizhou Mansion.

Jin Shenghuan, Hao Xiaozhong, Hui Dengxiang, Wang Rucheng, Li Guoying, and other subordinates of Zuo Ying's troops quickly became passive and slacking off their work after they were separated from the supervision of Wang Shizhong and Zuo Mengeng.

They traveled ten miles a day, advancing at a rapid pace for various reasons, and some even began to contact nearby state officials to prepare for surrender.

Jin Shenghuan slandered, "Besieging and killing Emperor Chongzhen, are we stupid! We took refuge in Azig to save our lives in the west, not to fall into the trap."

The other generals of the left battalion are not stupid, they know that even if there are tens of thousands of horses in Azig, even if the combat strength is unparalleled, how long can they last?

Once the imperial court's army marching north to Liaodong goes south, not to mention Azig, even Zuo Mengeng can't say what will happen.

These generals are all goblins and goblins, so they don't add to their own sins.

……

At this time, Li Guo also learned that Azig was defeated and broke into the camp and surrendered Zuo Mengeng, and he also knew that He Tengjiao had killed Li Zicheng and vowed to seek revenge on him.

10,000 thieves plundered and went north to find the enemy, causing countless sins.

As soon as he arrived in Wuyuan, Li Guo met Qu Shiyun, the governor of Huguang who went north to King Qin.

Qu Shiyun found out that it was the remnants of the camp led by Li Guo, so he naturally didn't dare to let him go north to Huizhou to cause chaos, and the two armies quickly confronted each other, fighting day by day.

Li Guo wanted to leave several times, but was stopped by Qu Shiyun, and the two armies were deadlocked in Wuyuan.

……

Li Dingguo also appeared at the border of Huguang and Jiangxi at an unimaginable speed.

He first met the remnants of Gao Yigong and Hao Shaoqi, and surrendered the two in the name of killing Azig to avenge them.

Immediately afterwards, he defeated two or three miscellaneous troops of the left battalion in the vicinity of Jingdezhen, and quickly went east, and happened to encounter the 10,000 infantry of Azig's second son, Fu Lehe.

The enemy's eyes were red, and the Onishi sergeant was like a vengeful wolf, with sharp teeth and claws.

Li Dingguo looked at the scolding commander in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "Azig, you kill my father-in-law, I will kill your own son!" In a few days, I will go to Huizhou to behead you!"

The encounter broke out immediately.
