Chapter 360: Decision

Big win outside the pass

"Handsome..."

Yang Qi's personal soldiers walked into the big tent where Yang Qi was, still holding a burden in their hands.

Yang Qi stood up: "Has anyone found out?" ”

The soldiers shook their heads: "Don't worry, the marshal is all our people along the river, and besides, they are walking in Chuzhou, which is within the defense line of our department." ”

Call...

Yang Qi breathed a long sigh of relief, and then sat down on his handsome seat: "Take it and take a look." ”

After the bright yellow silk cloth was revealed, Yang Qi's whole person seemed to be ten years old, and when he looked at the content, he shook his head with a wry smile: "Why is this bothering?" Why bother? ”

"Can you explain in the future?"

The pro-soldier nodded: "Lord Zhang is dealing with the follow-up, and he will be able to return to the camp soon." ”

Yang Qi's deputy general Zhang Mao is his childhood friend, if it weren't for the war, this crony would not have been able to turn Zhang Mao, the former white body.

Zhang Mao suddenly opened the big tent, and then walked in: "Dashuai, it's okay, it will be investigated by the imperial court in the future, and it is also a local problem in Chuzhou, and it has nothing to do with us." ”

"Do you have an explanation?"

Zhang Mao nodded: "After the Donglin Party learned that the Governor connived at the Tang Domain, he connected the Eight Songs, talking about the disaster of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor was also very annoyed after seeing it, it is said that in the Qianqing Palace, even if he ordered the Tang Dynasty, and sent Jinyi Wei to arrest the Tang Prince, and the eunuch confessed, the Donglin Party wrote to remove the Governor, and also to hold the Inspector accountable, and sent another person, I believe it is already on the way." ”

"That's right..."Yang Qi shook the holy decree in his hand: "It's just that the emperor doesn't inspect the city, how can the Donglin party be so stupid?" Then Zhu Yujian came by himself, what is the matter with the Inspector? ”

Zhang Mao said solemnly: "Marshal, what if the person who came to replace him from the imperial court arrives?" ”

"Chuzhou mountain bandits are rampant, I don't know about the robbery of the Qin Mission, and the Governor doesn't know, no matter who the person is, if he is unlucky and dies in the chaos of the Southern Army's attack, what do you say?"

Zhang Mao nodded: "The marshal is reasonable, if he can delay for a moment, it will be a moment, and the morale of the Southern Army is not good." ”

When the two were planning, the herald entered the account: "The commander, the commander of the commander, Zhang Gaoping, the commander of the Southern Army, died in Yangzhou, and the momentum of the Southern Army will inevitably suffer a blow, so that the commander's headquarters will prepare to launch an offensive against Nanjing tomorrow." ”

Yang Qi nodded in understanding, and then looked at Zhang Mao: "This matter must be kept secret, and the boss must not be allowed to know." ”

"The last will understand..."

The bright yellow silk cloth slowly turned into a pile of ashes under the flames, Yang Qi looked at the flames in a daze, unable to calm down for a long time, and then muttered: "Great merit, destroyed in an instant..."

.

"The Qin army will inevitably launch a general offensive in the next few days."

Shi Kefa looked into the distance from the gatehouse of Andemen, and the words were said to Li Wanchang, who was sitting in the gatehouse: "The defenders are sluggish, and it is no longer advisable to trap Nanjing, and this official is still inclined to ask for help from the Liang Domain. ”

Li Wanchang recalled the scene after Zhang Gaoping's body entered Nanjing, and then thought about the letter that he burned again.

‘... Chen Cao's wolf ambition will definitely be a thief of my Ming Dynasty in the future, and I must not bow to him no matter what...'

‘... If things are not harmonious, it is also a plan that can be chosen to surrender to the Northern Army...'

‘... The Grace of the Prophet's Acquaintance...... However, it can no longer be realized, Your Majesty's safety cannot be handed over to Shi Kefa, civil disasters, lessons of hundreds of years, the blood of the former Song Dynasty is still there...'

‘... If Yangzhou is broken, I will defend the city to the death, although Mingyuan is stupid, but it can be a big responsibility, and it can be your arm...... Your Majesty and the Northern Dynasty are brothers of the same clan, and they will not kill each other, and the Ming Dynasty is the most important thing......

‘... How to choose, hand of Dan'er...'

Rub...

Li Wanchang stood up, glanced at Li Mingyuan beside him, and then took a deep breath: "This place is temporarily under the command of Shi Butang, and Ben Shuai is going to meet His Majesty..."

.

"Emperor Taizu Gao guarded Yingtian when he was King Wu, and his strength was not evident at that time, and when Chen Youliang's army attacked Yingtian, the first target he chose was Jiangdong Bridge."

Zhu Yujian listened carefully to the words of the young white-clothed showman in front of him.

"More than two hundred years, the Jiangdong Bridge is becoming more and more stable, and it was a fluke to enter the Jiangdong Gate a few days ago.

Zhu Yujian arched his hand: "I don't know if Mr. Li has a clever plan?" ”

The white-clothed Xiushi, surnamed Li, replied: "The student has a plan, when Zhang Gaoping attacked Nanjing, he chose the opportunity to attack along the city from Lime Mountain, and finally attacked Nanjing from Yuejiang Tower, where the terrain is not high, and it is the connection between Lion Mountain and Lime Mountain, and the city wall is weak;

The students ordered the rangers to go out and rebuild it after reporting the fire in Yuejiang Tower, but the defense force over there was not weak. ”

All the generals in the tent frowned, feeling that this military advisor was talking a bit nonsense.

"Therefore, the students thought that they should march from the river and go straight to the Dinghuai Gate along the waterway..."

Settle the Huaimen...

The reason why Zhu Yujian asked this young Xiushi to be the military advisor of the 50,000-strong army was also from the incident after the attack on Jiangdong Gate a few days ago, and after the contact in the past few days, he found that this young man was very disciplined in marching and orderly, and he was also quite regular in the dispatch of grain and grass.

"Li Yan, you just said how to settle Huaimen, where did so much nonsense come from?"

Li Han, the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty, was a big boss, but the commander of Nanyang Wei, and was appointed by Zhu Yujian as the chief military officer after following Zhu Yujianqin.

The white-clothed Xiushi's name was Li Yan, although he was reprimanded by Li Han, he was not angry at all, but smiled slightly: "The defense force of Dinghuaimen is not as good as Jiangdongmen, and my army can go by river boat, and directly enter the Qinhuai River waterway from the Longjiang River, and take advantage of the fact that the defenders of Dinghuaimen are not paying attention to catch them off guard." ”

Zhu Yujian nodded with a smile, he thought that this plan was very feasible: "In this way, follow the arrangement of the military advisor, General Li, you are responsible for assisting." ”

.

Pu Xiang suddenly found that there were many suspicious people around his Jinshan Marquis Mansion, but now it was between the wars, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

He was studying the flintlock pistol in his hand, when suddenly a dark shadow rushed into the backyard water pavilion, and he was so frightened that he quickly raised the muzzle of the gun.

"Who, come out..."

The upper half of the body was covered in blood, and he was shaking when he walked...

"Jinshan... Hou..."

"You are?"

Pu Xiang suddenly saw the person who came, the Liang Fan Jinyi Guard who swam from the frozen water to find him.

"The lower official got rid of the pursuit, but he couldn't live, this is a secret letter, dictated to the Marquis of Jinshan, Li Wanchang wants to be unfavorable to the Song army commander, they have a conspiracy..."

It's out of breath...

Pu Xiang put his hand on his nose to test it, and after repeatedly confirming that there was no heartbeat, he asked the family in the house to bury him temporarily in the flower fence in the front yard.

Li Wanchang wants to do it?

Pu Xiang thought about it, and then thought of the many fresh faces he saw when he went out this morning, and suddenly a cool air rose from the soles of his feet...

"Looks like I'm being watched..."

.

If you despise Song Che, it is Li Wanchang's mistake, this person who once survived in Liaoyang City, is he an ordinary person?

Besides, with the firearms of the Dingwu Army, Song Che was confident enough to break out of Nanjing City.

"Throne..."

Li Xiukuan, the commander of the Ninth Division, walked into the big tent: "The surrounding defenders are a little frequent, just before, someone from the palace came to transfer our department to guard the Jubao Gate. ”

Song Che looked at the Nanjing city defense map, and then said, "Li Wanchang wants to give up the outer city?"

That's impossible, isn't it? Could it be? ”

Li Xiukuan said: "Could it be that the one in the palace doesn't trust Li Wanchang?" ”

"Impossible," Song Che immediately denied Li Xiukuan's words: "If that's the case, we won't stay here in Fengtaimen all the time." ”

"Throne, Shi Kefa is here."

As soon as the words fell, Shi Kefa arrived outside the tent alone, and Song Che smiled: "I don't know if Shi Butang is here in person, but there is something important?" ”

Shi Kefa's face was serious: "The spies reported that after learning the news of Zhang Dashuai's death, the Qin army was ready to launch a general attack on Nanjing tomorrow, and the official had just come out of the palace, His Majesty was worried about the safety of the inner city, and decided to let General Song's headquarters guard the Jubao Gate, and the Fengtai Gate would be taken over by the Duke of Changguo first." ”

Li Xiukuan said coldly: "Do you have confidence? ”

Shi Kefa was also not angry, and shook his head: "Defending Nanjing is a big deal, as long as the Liang Domain fully supports it, I believe that it is a matter of time to thwart the plan of the Qin army." ”

Song Che glanced at Shi Kefa, and then arched his hand: "So please report back to Your Majesty, this will be opened here later." ”

"Well, General Song, the guards will arrive immediately, and I ask General Song to do it as soon as possible."

Shi Kefa left indifferently, but Song Che still felt that something was wrong, so after reconfirming that there were only 170,000 defenders in Nanjing, he nodded and ordered: "Prepare to pull out the camp, and the artillery will go first..."

The 25th Brigade had just walked through Jubao Mountain, and a horse rode quickly through the troops and entered Song Che's guard company, and the person who came was brought to Song Che, so he gave his hand: "But Commander Song is in person?" ”

"It's this seat..."

The person who came suddenly said anxiously: "The villain is the family member of the Marquis of Jinshan, and my marquis ordered the villain to hand over this letter to Commander Song, and in addition, the Jinyi guard who delivered the letter has died tragically." ”

Song Che was shocked, immediately opened the secret letter, and after reading the ten lines quickly, he immediately shouted: "Stop advancing..."

Turning his head to look at the guard beside him, he said, "Go and chase the 25th Brigade immediately, and let Li Xiukuan withdraw..."

'Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock...'

'Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock...'

'Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock...'

The intense sound of artillery came from far and near, and then exploded along the route of the 26th Brigade.

"Enemy attack..."

"Spread out... Quickly disperse..."

The sound of the cannon startled many horses, but although Song Che was surprised, his panic immediately flashed, he raised his clairvoyant mirror to observe, and found that the cannon was shot down from Jubao Mountain.

"The whole army entered the mountains and captured Yuhuatai..."
