Five days later, Gu'an County.
Zhu Yuanzhang was sorting through the battle report and marking on the march map, occasionally showing a satisfied smile.
At this time, Chen Qixing walked in quickly, respectfully handed over a memorial, and reported: "Your Majesty, urgent report from the capital!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he took it and looked at it. It was Li Chengdong's request to send troops to assist Gao Jie. He couldn't help frowning and said: "We remember that your Jinyi Guards had a secret report earlier, saying that Li Chengdong was suspected of secretly sending troops to Henan. Is this confirmed? "
Chen Qixing thought for a while and said: "This matter was confirmed two days ago. After receiving Gao Jie's secret message, Li Chengdong sent 5,000 infantry there, but most of them were new soldiers and their combat power was not strong."
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "I see, he wants to please both sides, but he underestimates us!"
As he spoke, he thought that Zhu Yujian's side was stable enough to keep Shandong, so he wrote: "You are our minister and a high official in the border area. You can handle this matter according to the situation..." "
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished approving it, he took another look, closed it and handed it to Chen Qixing and said, "You can send it to Li Chengdong immediately at a cost of eight hundred miles!"
After Chen Qixing took it respectfully, and was about to leave, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's voice again: "Is there any news from Li Guo?"
When Chen Qixing asked, he looked troubled and said: "Because Hebei is very mountainous, and there were only about ten people after Li Guo's defeat, no trace of them has been found for a while..."
It turned out that three days ago, after Zhu Yuanzhang found out Li Guo's whereabouts through scouts, he ordered Chen Qixing to lead his army to set up an ambush.
After half a day of blockade, Jiang Yingkui finally led his troops.
The Ming soldiers attacked from both sides and immediately defeated Li Guo's remaining troops. XiuShu.com
But because Li Guo's personal guards fought tooth and nail to protect him, he was able to escape into the mountains.
Although Ming Bing had reset his cards in the past few days, there was still no trace of the other party.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Although this matter is difficult to handle, we cannot relax. He must not be allowed to join Liu Fangliang."
Chen Qixing heard this and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Since Mr. Gu took advantage of Liu Fangliang's pursuit and attacked and killed his army, his vigor has been greatly reduced."
"Now Uncle Jingnan and Mr. Gu are blocking the front, Huang Wushan is blocking the rear, and Zhang Luofu and others from Baoding are encircling and dividing Liu Fangliang. Liu Fangliang is already a turtle in the urn, even if..."
"Chen Qixing!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shouted down Chen Qixing's words and said in a deep voice: "The war has not ended in one day, so we can't talk about victory or defeat lightly!"
"Especially now that we have reached a critical moment. If we take it lightly and let the rebels take advantage of the loophole, we will fall short of our success. Especially you, who are our eyes and ears. If you make a mistake..."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's angry look, Chen Qixing hurriedly agreed respectfully.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that because of the frequent rumors about Jaguar these days, many people took it lightly.
It turns out that not only Li Guo was defeated, Liu Fangliang was besieged, and even Zuo Liangyu was extremely respectful,
Not only did he take the initiative to deliver supplies to the capital, he also killed Fan Beidou, who deliberately spread the plague.
Because Fan Beidou was suddenly killed, the wealthy households in Shanxi were panicked.
Coupled with Fan Sanba's guidance, many wealthy households have turned to the imperial court and donated more than 7 million taels of silver to the imperial court, temporarily relieving the crisis of financial shortage.
In addition, after Dorgon failed to rescue Duduo, he also proposed peace and returned to Shenyang with his cronies.
With Dorgon's departure, Datong's Jurchen troops also stopped attacking and seemed to intend to retreat.
Moreover, news came from Wang Shoulin that the Mongolian tribes headed by Chahar were at odds with the Jurchens, and the Yehe tribe within the Jurchens was also ready to make a move.
Coupled with Dorgon's defeat and Zu Dashou's rebellion, the Jurchen army was already unstable, with the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty being the most unstable.
In order to boost morale, and at the same time to suppress some people with evil intentions, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the Jin Yiwei to vigorously publicize it, which also gave rise to bad habits.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to beat Chen Qixing, and then said sternly: "We have been told orally that from today until the end of the war, the Jin Yiwei must be in strict preparedness. If there is any negligence,
Those who perform their duties and delay military aircraft will be killed without mercy! "
Chen Qixing's body trembled slightly, and then he responded cautiously and loudly.
After Zhu Yuanzhang waited for Chen Qixing to leave, he continued to organize and annotate.
He was busy for half an hour. After updating all the data, he looked at the Liaodong and Shenyang areas and murmured to himself: "Now the Jurchens are in civil strife, and Hauge is about to return, so the two sides will fight again."
"In addition, we have instructed Wang Shoulin to spread the news that Huang Taiji's accidental death was caused by breaking the secrets of Dorgon and Bumbutai. When they learned that the false emperor Fulin was not his biological son, they jointly poisoned him."
"Once this matter spreads, it will definitely cause turmoil. Dorgon will definitely massacre in order to maintain his power. In the short term, there should be no time to invade the south, and it will be enough for Wang Euzhi to rectify Liaodong..."
Zhu Yuanzhang said, with a smile on his lips.
Then he checked the distribution of Zuo Liangyu's troops, and finally stared at the border of Henan, thinking to himself: "Gao Jie and Zuo Liangyu have gathered troops here, and Li Chengdong would rather make us suspicious than ask for an order to send troops. Look, There should be Zhu Changxun’s treasure when you come here.”.Ь.
"It's just that they are so grand and don't seem to be afraid of Li Thief coming east. Could it be that Li Ruolian and others really defeated the rebels?"
"But if that's the case, why haven't we gotten the news yet?"
As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he made gestures in Huguang, Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places, then shook his head and said: "In these places, only Qin Liangyu's troops can fight."
"But Qin Liangyu is just a female prostitute, and she is already very old. Even if she had some ability before, she may not be able to survive now. It would be too much to expect her to defeat Thief Li..."
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was deep in thought, a guard in royal robes hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a secret report from the capital that Zuo Xianmei has been imprisoned by Zuo Liangyu and her life is in danger!"
Zhu Yuanzhang had previously thought that Zuo Liangyu's dispatch of troops was due to Zuo Xianmei's persuasion. When he heard this, he couldn't help being surprised, and then asked: "Do you know the reason?"
The Jin Yiwei shook his head and said: "The specific situation is not clear, but there are rumors that Zuo Xianmei refused to marry Zhu Yousong, thus irritating Zuo Liangyu..."
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this.
Because he knew that Zuo Xianmei was smart and always acted after planning. Moreover, she took the initiative to go north this time and was not forced. She should have been prepared before coming, and she would never put herself in danger.
If not, Zuo Xianmei would never have sent Huang Wushan to assist him.
At this moment, Chen Qixing walked in quickly and reported: "Your Majesty, there is something strange happening over at Huangwu Mountain.".Ь.
"Huang Wushan?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "But it was caused by Zuo Xianmei's capture?"
Chen Qixing was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed caused by Zuo Xianmei's capture."
"According to the news from Jin Yiwei, Zuo Xianmei's personal guards suddenly rushed to Huangwu Mountain last night, claiming that Zuo Xianmei was in danger and asked them to rescue her immediately."
"But Huang Wushan did not dare to leave without permission because of the imminent war, so he called everyone to discuss and divided into two factions, causing the military's morale to be unstable..."
While Chen Qixing was talking, a Jin Yiwei walked into the tent again and handed Huang Wushan's letter.
Zhu Yuanzhang took it and looked at it. It was also about Zuo Xianmei.
However, Huang Wushan was very respectful in the letter and repeatedly expressed his willingness to sacrifice his life to serve the country. He only hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang could save Zuo Xianmei's life.
After Zhu Yuanzhang read it, he was silent for a while, then looked at Chen Qixing and said, "Go to the Huangwu Mountain Army yourself and tell him to fight with peace of mind. We will not let Zuo Xianmei die in vain!"
"In addition, Chen Mingyu sent a message to Datong, asking him to send Wang Fuchen to lead an elite team to Shaanxi to find out the situation there. If Li Ruolian and others are in danger, they must be rescued!"
After Chen Qixing agreed, he hurried out.
