Chapter 827 Little Nine

In the afternoon, the 5,000 cavalry led by Jiang Bin came late. In fact, it was not to blame them. 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. The ferry was full of rebels. As a last resort, Jiang Bin found another way and found a ferry upstream to defeat more than a thousand defensive ferry. The rebels seized the ship and robbed it.

After a few days of delay, they didn't even catch up with the battle in Nanchang City. As long as they arrive one day early, even if they can't catch up with this battle, they can at least meet the family of 5,000 rebels and Zhu Chenhao and a group of rebellious officials evacuated from Nanchang City. They are more likely to intercept a large amount of silver, grass and weights, which is comparable. The contribution to the capture of Nanchang City is not much.

I don't know. After knowing this, Jiang Bin beat his chest and scolded, but no one can be blamed, and he had no choice but to do nothing. Wang Yong, who attacked the city with Wang Shouren, was a little gloating and comforted: "Marquis Jiang, due to fate, manpower can't return to heaven, so there is no need to sigh. Maybe Zhu Chenhao's anger is not exhausted, or maybe Lord Jiang should not have made such a great contribution. In a word, relax your mood and then plan for the future.

Jiang Bin rolled his eyes and was speechless.

At night, the luxurious and towering Wang's mansion was brightly lit. This place naturally became Wang Shouren's command post. Jiang Bin, Wang Yong and others also lived here. After taking Nanchang, Wang Shouren could finally gather generals in Ningwang's mansion with peace of mind.

In the palace, Wang Shouren is in the main seat. Although Jiang Bin, Wang Yong and others are all marquis and higher than Wang Shouren in terms of titles, Wang Shouren, as the deputy governor of the rebellion, is higher than Jiang Bin, Wang Yong and others, so they can only sit next to listen. There is a table in front of everyone, with a small pot of wine and a few dishes, which are extremely simple.

"Generals, we should have held a banquet to celebrate the capture of Nanchang City tonight, but the current situation is still unclear, so I avoided this celebration and only talked about preparing water, wine and dishes. Generals should drink carefully and don't get drunk, because we still have something to discuss."

The generals said one after another: "Follow the order of the deputy governor."

Wang Shouren nodded slightly, raised his glass, took a sip and said, "Comprehensive information from all aspects, it can be seen that the main soldiers and horses led by the traitor Zhu Chenhao have gone down the stream, and it is obvious that they are going to fight desperately to win Nanjing. Jianghou said that the main force led by the Duke of Zhen was divided into two. One marched into Jiangxi and two reinforced in Nanjing. It can be seen that the Duke of Zhen was prepared to attack Nanjing at all costs. Zhen Guogong's strategy is indeed very clear. On the one hand, he sent 5,000 cavalry of Marquis Jiang to appear in the eyes of the rebels, which is to send a signal to Zhu Chenhao that the army is coming, so that Zhu Chenhao does not dare to defend Jiangxi. Because of this, we can take advantage of the opportunity to capture Nanchang. To be honest, Nanchang City is not so much taken by us as by the town's public transportation.

Jiang Bin and Wang Yong looked at each other and smiled, thinking, "This Wang Shouren is not stupid. In front of his two people around him, he naturally said this to the two of them. The purpose is naturally to inform Song Nan through their mouths, indicating that he is not greedy. The old boy seems to be a rotten Confucian, but in fact, he is slippery and tight.

"Taking the number of days, the rebels must arrive outside Nanjing within three days, and the soldiers and horses led by the Zhengong will also arrive at that time. This war is inevitable. Unfortunately, we can't participate in the meeting, so we can only wish the Duke of Zhen to defeat the rebels, calm down the rebellion against the king in one fell swoop, and return the stability of our Ming Society. Ladies and gentlemen, we have drunk this cup and wish the town flag a victory.

"Do it, do it!" Let's raise a glass and drink to the bottom.

"Lord Wang, I will leave tomorrow. We have to participate in this battle. Originally, I came here with 5,000 cavalry to help Lord Wang capture Nanchang. Now that Nanchang has been broken, although I have not helped much, I have to rush back to the army. 8,000 officers and soldiers of my Yangwei camp can still be entrusted by others. Jiang Bin put down his glass.

Wang Shouren smiled and said, "This old man understands that the Marquis Jiang and Wang Yi are naturally leaving, but the Marquis Jiang is too modest. What does it mean that he didn't help? If Lord Jiang hadn't led 5,000 brothers to come quickly, would Zhu Chenhao have made up his mind to give up Nanchang? How can I take this Nanchang City? However, don't be in a hurry to leave. You can act with my army tomorrow. Don't be in a hurry at this time. Even if you are on your way now, you may not be able to catch up with the war in Nanjing.

Wang Yong asked, "What? Does Lord Wang also want to lead troops to the war?

Wang Shouren shook his head and said, "I can't go. There are still rebels in Jiangxi. I want to flatten them and completely eliminate the rebels in Jiangxi. This is also an extremely important thing and cannot leave any hidden danger of resurgence. But tomorrow, I will first lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to march into Nankang and Jiujiang with 5,000 soldiers and horses of Marquis Jiang. The Duke of Zhen is about to fight with the main force of the rebels in Nanjing. Although we can't participate in it ourselves, after taking Jiu Jiangnankang, we can cut off its back road and make Zhu Chenhao no longer have a foothold. This must be what the Duke of Zhen expects.

Jiang Bin's eyes lit up and shouted, "Yes, let's take Jiujiang South Kang Anqing all the way and compress Zhu Chenhao's soldiers and horses between Nanjing and Anqing, so that they have no other ideas but a decisive battle. This is the ultimate goal."

Wang Shouren nodded and said, "It's true. The most annoying thing about suppressing the rebellion is that the rebels fled from east to west. Every time they fled to one place, they harmed a state capital and triggered a disaster. We tighten the encirclement and force them to have no way to go. This is the best way. If I didn't expect a mistake, I'm afraid that the soldiers and horses marching westward have turned to the north bank of the Yangtze River to prevent the rebels from invading the north bank. On the south bank, the soldiers and horses from Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places are also approaching the south of the Yangtze River. The whole north and south of the Yangtze River have laid a trap. We will block his back road again, and Zhu Chenhao still has room to move. ?"

On the way here, Jiang Bin had already learned that the pretend army led by Xu Tai had turned around and marched to Wuhu Dangtu and other places downstream of Anqing Prefecture. Needless to say, it was to implement the strategy of encirclement and prevention. If Zhu Chenhao dared to abandon the ship to attack the coastal state capital and open up another place, Xu Tai would not hesitate to rush to him. Since the soldiers and horses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have also been surrounded, the face of this containment plan is very clear. The rear Jiujiang Anqing and other state governments are the places to rush. The grain and materials transported from Nanchang will definitely be hoarded in these places, and how significant it is to regain these places.
