Chapter 351: The Battle of Nanjing

"I'm not going to help... Unless Zhu Yousong personally summons me to Nanjing..."

In the second study, there were only Chen Cao and Xu Fuyuan and Huang Chunyao who came in a hurry.

"Yunsheng, you should have received the news, Du Wenhuan burned Yizhen's grain and grass, Zhang Gaoping can't last long in Yangzhou, whether he can stick to Yangzhou or not, it's all up to us."

Huang Chunyao came from Hangzhou and supervised the artillery transported by the way: "Lord Wang, we must at least master the Qilin Gate." ”

Chen Cao let out a 'hmm', and then said: "Wei Guogong and Jinshan Hou are ready-made internal responses, with their help, it is also very easy for Song Che to transfer from Fengtai Gate to Qilin Gate, but I am worried that Shi Kefa will not let Song Che withdraw so calmly." ”

After Song Che entered Nanjing, he was like a proton, but Chen Cao believed that even hundreds of thousands of people in Nanjing could not keep Song Che's rifle division, and the only thing he was worried about was being surrounded by them.

"There are a lot of smart officials in the original six departments in Nanjing, and now I hear that Zhu Yousong's state affairs only rely on so many people to operate."

Under the attack of hundreds of thousands of people from two directions, and all the way to the city of Nanjing, the officials of the six departments of Nanjing of the original Chongzhen Dynasty now have some signs of looking at the wind and scenery.

"Shi Kefa is an example..."Chen Cao remembered the evaluation of him in later generations: "This person has a tendon, although he has some talents, he is easily affected by his stubborn thoughts. ”

Huang Chunyao saw that Chen Cao knew Shi Kefa well, so he said: "Lord Wang, the old story of the former Tang Dynasty and Li Yuan, the students thought it could be staged. ”

"Not enough..."

Chen Cao shook his head: "I have to wait for the news, as long as the news from the north comes back, we will enter Nanjing immediately..."

"But Chen Yan?"

Huang Chunyao only learned about Chen Yan and Zou Weilian later, and Chen Cao didn't plan to hide it from him.

"Exactly, as long as Chen Yan's affairs are done properly, then..."

Chen Cao didn't finish speaking, he felt that it was not necessary, unless he was 100% sure: "If Chen Yan and Zou Weilian don't succeed, it will not necessarily be a bad thing to promote Zhang Gaoping's defeat." ”

Huang Chunyao nodded thoughtfully: "You can let Zheng Zhilong lead the water division troops into Longjiang." ”

"Not for the time being," Chen Cao interrupted Huang Chunyao's imagination: "Before the time to completely turn his face with Zhang Gaoping, the sailor will not move for the time being, by the way, I remember what happened to Du Wenhuan before, Yunsheng, you said that we should give Du Wenhuan some help, can he come to Yangzhou City?" ”

"It's up to him to be guts..."

.

"Ben Shuai naturally has the courage, otherwise he will insult the name of my Du family."

Juniper was really a fierce general, but he died in the battle of Salhu, and he also died in battle, not the master who was killed on the way to escape.

"Marshal, yesterday's report, Cheng Guogong and others have led an army of 200,000 down the canal, but they were blocked by Zhang Gaoping's sunken sand boat in Shaobo Town, and I believe it will be dredged in less than two days."

Du Wenhuan called the deputy general Li Tong: "The soldiers are coming to Yangzhou, what do you think?" ”

Li Tong was a little worried: "Zhenjiang and Yizhen are separated by a river, if the army of the Liang Domain crosses the river, our army will inevitably be attacked from the front and back, in this case, unless the army of Chengguo can break through Yangzhou." ”

That's a dead word.

Dilemma...

Du Wenhuan felt that he shouldn't be so oblivious to everyone, he was born in a dignified family, how could he let Wang Jiayin and others, who were homeless anyway, move forward?

However, at this moment, his news is closed, and he doesn't know the news of Wang Jiayin's death, otherwise Du Wenhuan will inevitably be stationed in Yizhen.

"If the soldiers of the Liang Domain wanted to attack us, they would have moved a few days ago, there were no warships on the river, and in addition, Chen Cao had recruited Ben Shuai when the first emperor was there, at that time..."

"Therefore, Chen Cao has the heart of self-reliance, whether it is the imperial court or the puppet emperor of the Southern Dynasty, even if he is crowned with the title of prince, it cannot hide this person's Sima Zhao's heart."

Li Tong asked again: "If the battle situation on the Inspector's side is unfavorable, according to the previous arrangement, our army should cross the river from Liuhe and go straight into the Yangtze River to land in Nanjing.

Li Tong didn't finish speaking, Du Wenhuan naturally knew what he meant, once Yang He was defeated in Nanjing, he would be the scapegoat, the scapegoat who did not obey the military order.

"Father..."Du Hongyu, who is also a deputy general and deputy commander-in-chief, rode a horse: "Father, there is a large army from Yangzhou and coming to Yizhen. ”

Du Wenhuan sneered: "It seems that the role of our strange soldiers has played... Deliver the order and prepare to meet the enemy. ”

.

A victory naturally can't be regarded as a big victory, after all, there are several handsomes under Yang He's command, and Wang Jiayin, who died as a homeless person, is not easy for Yang He.

Shi Kefa looked at Wang Jiayin's messy head still dripping blood, so he shook his head: "Order the three armies and publicize it." ”

Li Wanchang had just finished praising Mao, and then went to see Shi Kefa: "Master Shi..."

"Chang Guo Gong..."

"After this battle, I believe that Yang He will not dare to act rashly."

"Xia Guan heard that the prince of Tang Fan led the army to Yang He's army?"

Li Wanchang looked at the people who were still cleaning the battlefield outside the city, and then nodded: "Among the descendants of the Zhu family, the son of the Tang clan is the first person. ”

This is to say that Shi Kefa is not there, Li Wanchang feels that Shi Kefa is quite decent.

"The lower officials don't agree."

Li Wanchang was surprised, Shi Kefa continued: "The Northern Emperor's strategy for the vassal king is especially better than the Zhuzong Temple, Tang Fan's move is just poking the heart of the Northern Emperor, Xia Guan believes that Yang He will not dare to use the prince of the Tang Domain, on the contrary, he will also be guarded against...

Chang Guogong, if you were the Northern Emperor, would you be worried that the prince of the Tang Dynasty would suddenly defect? ”

Li Wanchang took a cold breath: "But... Everybody is a brother? ”

Shi Kefa chuckled: "Aren't Beidi and His Majesty cousins?" ”

"It's true... In that case, I would like to go out of town and meet them for a while. ”

Shi Kefa stopped: "Changguo Gong must not be reckless, although Yang He was defeated, but it was only those anyway troops who were injured, and the main force under his command was not damaged, so they must be prepared to go out of the city like this." ”

Li Wanchang thought about it and nodded: "According to what Master Shi said, I will go to see Your Majesty." ”

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yousong let out a long breath of turbidity after learning that Xiao Andemen had a great victory, but after hearing that Yang He's army was not seriously injured, he asked Li Wanchang about countermeasures.

Obviously, in today's Chongde court, it seems that only Zhang Gaoping and Li Wanchang are the most credible, after all, they are from the Qiandi, and the old Fu Wang is hand-pulled.

"The army of the Liang Domain has not moved to guard the Fengtai Gate, and the ministers are also worried that they will suddenly mutiny."

This kind of thing can only be said in a place where there are few people, after all, Nanjing City is too mixed.

"Chen Cao is not fooled..."

Zhu Yousong suddenly spoke, startling Li Wanchang.

I only heard him continue: "This is the plan set by Duke An Guo before he went to Yangzhou. ”

Li Wanchang didn't know at all, because he was guarding Fengyang at that time.

The great eunuch Sun Dewen nodded: "Changguo Gong, the old slave also knows about this strategy. ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

Zhu Yousong was a little resentful: "My father was suddenly killed when he entered the city, how could Feng Kelie's people break through Chen Cao's army guards?" You only need to think about it carefully. ”

"Your Majesty..."

According to Jinyiwei's report, Jinshan Hou Puxiang and the Wei State Mansion have not interrupted their private contact with Chen Cao;

Chen Cao, he is the scourge of my Ming Dynasty..."

At this moment, if Chen Cao knew that Zhu Yousong commented on him like this, it is estimated that he would not be able to help but lead the army directly into Nanjing.

It is impossible to let Zhu Yousong and Zhu Youzhen join forces to deal with Chen Cao, because the Zhu family must not have two emperors to occupy the north and south.

"Every time I dream back in the middle of the night, I feel a little guilty of myself, and I even think... Think..."

Zhu Yousong's appearance was extremely excited, and Sun Dewen hurriedly stepped forward and patted him on the back: "The emperor is angry." ”

"Your Majesty," Li Wanchang looked serious: "The Northern Emperor will not tolerate it." ”

Obviously, Li Wanchang knew what Zhu Yousong was going to say.

"That's why I'm so remorseful..."

The matter of giving Prince Chen Caofeng is really in a hurry.

The emperor admitted his mistake, how dare his subordinates be arrogant, and then several people in the main hall knelt down.

"You say, am I raising tigers now?"

Sun Dewen didn't dare to answer, as the leader of the Nanjing military generals, Li Wanchang said solemnly: "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, Chen Cao does not dare to act recklessly; ”

If it was Chen Cao himself who entered the city, the minister would have been determined to keep him in the city. ”

"What about Song Che?"

"If things are not harmonious, the ministers should act according to the plan."

Sun Dewen said in a low voice: "Chang Guogong, An Guogong said that all the gates of Nanjing's East City, especially the Qilin Gate, must not fall into the hands of the Liang Domain. ”

.

"Hahaha..."

Zhang Gaoping stood on top of the head of the north city of Yangzhou and laughed loudly, the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and the corpses were everywhere: "Zhu Chunchen, where did your courage go?" Is the Northern Army so vulnerable? Hahaha..."

"Guogong..."

A general walked up to the city, his face was serious, and he said in a low voice: "Guogong, Yizhen has come to report that General Ding's army was defeated by Du Wenhuan in Yizhen." ”

Zhang Gaoping's eyes widened, and he was suddenly angry under great joy, his qi and blood surged up, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Guogong... Guogong..."

Zhang Gaoping grabbed the general's collar and said in a trembling voice: "Don't be public...."

In Shao Bo Town, outside Yangzhou City, Zhu Chunchen's face was a little dark, and all the people present in the big tent were lords, and the most inferior ones were uncles.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhang Gaoping ran out of food, and then today's offensive was blocked, Your Majesty is already extremely annoyed that we are not moving in Gaoyou, the holy decree has come in several waves, and my father is here to say that Yangzhou cannot be taken within seven days...

Call...

Ben Gong will never show mercy. ”

Gong Liang, the captain of the horse, entered the account, and after seeing the ceremony, his face turned red and said: "Cheng Guogong, I am ashamed..."

Zhu Chunchen didn't want to lose his temper, although he was the commander, but the deputies were all princes and marquises, and there were a few captains leading the troops, how could he scold people?

"Gong Duwei, don't take it as an example..."
