Chen Xiance, who guarded Hanshan, Huang Ming, who guarded Lai'an, and Zhang Jie, who guarded Luzhou, were also shocked when they received Huang Degong's order.

Huang Degong suddenly defected, to be loyal to the Ming Emperor Chongzhen, the order was also covered with the jade seal of the Ming Emperor Chongzhen, these three general soldiers did not dare to slack off, and immediately led their troops to attack the local Liu Liangzuo's men and horses.

These three places were originally jointly defended by Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo's soldiers and horses, and this time Liu Liangzuo's soldiers and horses were completely annihilated.

More than 10,000 people were lost in the three places, and only more than 30,000 of Liu Liangzuo's soldiers and horses were compressed in the area of Shouzhou and Chuzhou.

However, Liu Liangzuo colluded with Tianxiong and Ma Degong in Chuzhou, and obtained 30,000 horses from Huang Degong, with a total strength of 60,000 or 70,000 troops.

Ma Bao's men and horses and Huang Ming's men and horses were united, and Zi'an sent troops to the city of Chuzhou.

Ma Bao and Huang Ming stormed Chuzhou, Tian Xiong was defeated, and Shouzhou was also captured by Ma Bao's men, Tian Xiong and Liu Liangzuo took Huang Degong's wife and children as hostages and retreated to Quanjiao.

After Ma Bao and Huang Ming took Chuzhou, they chased to Quanjiao County, and Liu Liangzuo and Tian Xiong had to retreat to Jiangpu County with the remnants of the defeated army.

In the east, Li Yan's brother Li Mu and the prefects Sang Kaidi and Chen Qianfu took Yizhen with 20,000 horses, and then marched west to approach Liuhe.

Ma Degong was difficult to defend the lonely city, and he retreated to Jiangpu with more than 10,000 horses.

Jiangpu County, later known as Pukou District of Nanjing, is on the edge of the Yangtze River.

At this time, the decree of the Hongguang Imperial Court in Nanjing came, ordering Liu Liangzuo to send troops to Huang Degong.

Liu Liangzuo, Ma Degong and Tian Xiong, with 60,000 horses, prepared to fight a battle with the Ming army in Jiangpu, with their backs to the river and fortified the city.

Otherwise, he fled back to Jiangnan like this, and he could not explain to Ma Shiying and others in Nanjing.

The three of them quickly discussed a poisonous plan to trap Huang Degong.

In the name of Ma Degong and Tian Xiong, he wrote a letter to Huang Degong, saying that Jiangpu was in an emergency and asked him to immediately send troops to support.

The letter soon reached the hands of Hezhou Huang Degong.

Huang Degong opened the letter and saw that this was the blood letter of his subordinates Ma Degong and Tian Xiong, the two of them, in the letter, they said that they were ordered to use troops against Liu Zeqing, and Liu Zeqing jumped over the wall in a hurry, copied their back roads, and burned their grain depot.

They had to keep Huang Degong's family and retreat to Jiangpu County, Liu Zeqing with heavy troops now chased to Jiangpu, the two of them are now outnumbered, Jiangpu is in danger, Wang Hou Ye quickly sent troops to rescue.

Huang Degong didn't know what the plan was, and he didn't know that Ma Degong and Tian Xiong had taken refuge in Liu Liangzuo, and the family was trapped in Jiangpu, thinking of his wife, daughter and son, Huang Degong was so anxious that tears fell.

If it weren't for the emperor in Hezhou, he would have led his troops directly to Jiangpu to save people.

Huang Degong took this letter to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen laughed after reading the letter, and Huang Degong was stunned at this time.

Chongzhen said: "Huang Aiqing, I am looking for you, this is a trick by Ma Degong and Tian Xiong, and the two of them also betrayed Aiqing and took refuge in the dog thief Liu Zeqing."

Huang Degong was shocked.

At this time, Chongzhen took out the secret letter sent by Jinyiwei and the scouts, and reported to Chongzhen that the Jinyiwei sent by Chongzhen, and Ma Bao Li Mou, had already mastered the situation of Tian Xiong and Ma Degong's surrender to Liu Liangzuo.

Therefore, when Chongzhen saw this letter, he immediately saw through Liu Liangzuo's tricks.

Huang Degong woke up like a dream, "Ma Degong and Tian Xiong, the two dog thieves, turned out to be traitors, thanks to His Majesty's discernment, otherwise Weichen would have been fooled, and the consequences would be unimaginable."

Chongzhen said, "However, Qing's family fell into their hands. You can save people with a plan, Aiqing pretended not to know, and immediately sent troops to Jiangpu, and I sent two masters to help Aiqing."

"Thank you, Lord Long." Huang Degong received the order, lying on the ground and kowtowing his head.

Before leaving, Chongzhen advised: "Liu Liangzuo is extremely deceitful, and Tian Xiong and Ma Degong are reckless, so it is a bit dangerous for Qing to go to Jiangpu. However, I have already made a plan, it is important to save people, and I must not commit suicide under any circumstances, I am proficient in medicine, no matter how serious the injury is, no matter how big the illness, I can cure it."

Chongzhen was afraid that he would be shot by arrows again

committed suicide in the middle of the neck, and here he was given an anti-epidemic shot.

In history, Huang Degong was shot in the neck by Liu Liangzuo's steps, and he committed suicide by drawing a knife. The death of the hero made future generations sigh and regret.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Wechen has written it down."

Huang Degong kowtowed to Chongzhen again, knowing that he had to go out in person about this matter, and if the emperor moved the people, he would startle the snake.

In order to save his wife and children, Huang Degong also gave up.

He was neatly draped, carried a double whip and led 5,000 cavalry, and left Hezhou and went straight to Jiangpu County.

In addition to the generals Weng Zhiqi and Wu Huang, Tang Wancai and Li Qiniang followed Chongzhen's will and went to Jiangpu with Huang Degong to save people.

After Huang Degong and the others walked for two hours, Chongzhen sent Zhuge Jinming, the chief soldier under Huang Degong, with 10,000 soldiers and horses, to Jiangpu to meet Huang Degong.

At the same time, Chongzhen secretly ordered Han Yin's Jinyi Wei Pegasus to pass a letter to Ma Bao and Li Mou, asking them to speed up their march and drive to Jiangpu County.

Deng Linzu, deputy commander-in-chief, Wang Dongri, and the state garrison, and the second general with 5,000 soldiers and horses to stay behind and the state Qin Wang.

It is less than 110 miles from Hezhou to Jiangpu.

Riding a fast horse will not take more than two hours to rest, even if you change horses in the middle.

Therefore, Huang Degong, Li Miniang, and Tang Wancai took the five thousand cavalry and soon came to Jiangpu.

For the convenience of movement, Li Qiniang and Tang Wancai took off their brocade clothes and dressed up like Huang Degong's generals.

Tang Wancai is okay, Li Miniang has become a recruit egg with fine skin and tender meat, and Tang Wancai is happy to see it along the way.

It wasn't until Li Miniang's eyes widened, scolded him a few words, and wanted to slap him with the golden lotus palm, that Tang Wan didn't dare to make a mistake.

At this time, I saw that all the soldiers outside Jiangpu City were Liu Liangzuo's generals.

"Kill!"

Huang Degong raised the iron whip, and 5,000 iron horsemen were like a tide, killing Liu Liangzuo's camp.
