Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1120 Gathering in Nanzhi
After Jin Shenghuan arrived at Waiguo City, he immediately sent people to meet King Lu, saying that he had no malicious intentions, and hoped that the two sides would join hands and avoid conflicts.

After the envoy arrived, he expressed his intention to the King of Lu, but the soldier didn't even want to stay in Nanjing now, and felt that chaos was imminent, so there would be no conflict with Jin Shenghuan.

Wang Yan has dealt with Tang Wang, he will be the next one, everyone is in danger, who has the spare time to fight again?
The envoy brought back the words and told Jin Shenghuan to put his heart in his stomach. The Zhejiang soldiers were about to retreat, so let him rest in peace, and kindly reminded him of what happened in Nanjing Chennai.

The defenders in Nanjing City withstood the attack of the Zhe soldiers, which indicated that the civil strife was over, and the court must have won the victory. However, neither King Lu nor Jin Shenghuan could understand what happened and the current situation of King Tang. .

However, as night fell, the fish that slipped through the net during the daytime cleaning process in the Tang Dynasty's forces, because they were afraid of being arrested would reveal their identities, so some people took advantage of the opportunity of night patrols to fall out of the city under the cover of night, and give Jin Shenghuan and King Lu brought news from the city.

The King of Tang forces in the city were all purged by Jin Yiwei. His Highness Tang Wang was placed under house arrest by Jin Yiwei in the Zhen Fu Division. Zhang Jiayu and other officials who supported Tang were directly imprisoned and awaited trial by the San Judicial Department.

With Tang Wang being taken down, it can be said that Lu Wang is also gone, and failure is a foregone conclusion.

King Lu's garrison in the south of the city, and Jin Shenghuan's garrison in the west of Jiangdong Bridge, the two camps were sleepless all night, like mourning!

Compared to King Lu, Jin Shenghuan's situation was undoubtedly more miserable. He came to Nanjing with hope, thinking that he could still give it a try, but the result made his heart sink to the bottom.

In the middle of the night, Jin Shenghuan's commander's tent was brightly lit, and all the generals gathered together, but the tent was completely silent.

At this time, in the west of Nanjing, Dashengguan was more than fifty miles away.

On the closed wall, the flag of the Wuwei Army was burning, and the corpses of the Jiangxi army were everywhere on the city wall. The corpses lying on the ground before closing the gate were also dead bodies lying on their stomachs. Broken spears, arrows, and sword shields were scattered everywhere. The whole victory Guandu is filled with the smell of gunpowder after World War I.

Inside the Guanmen Cave, a group of soldiers were lighting torches, and under the sound of "da da da" horseshoes, the cavalry who couldn't see their tails were quickly passing through the Guanmen Cave.

Wang Shixiu and several generals stood by the road on horseback, surrounded by torches.

"Captain, after passing the Dasheng Pass, we are only 50 miles away from Nanjing. It is already midnight, and the army is resting here, or what?" Zhao Shenkuan pulled the reins of his horse and approached Wang Shixiu.

A few days ago, Wang Yan was negotiating with Du Yinxi in Nanchang, and Du Yinxi proposed to join the cabinet with the condition of being the emperor's teacher.

This made Wang Yan very hesitant, and he was a little unsure about paying attention. Du Yinxi joined the cabinet and Wang Yan could barely accept it, but he wanted to be the emperor's teacher, but Wang Yan was very hesitant.

The Son of Heaven is still young, but once he reaches a certain age, he will definitely want to participate in political affairs. As a minister of power, Wang Yan has made so much effort to limit the power of the Emperor. Naturally, he will not be willing to return power to the Emperor, like him Such a character, after losing his power and allowing the emperor to regain power, he must have a bad death.

As an official of the imperial party, once Du Yinxi becomes the emperor's teacher, he will definitely do his best to teach the emperor the power of the emperor and train the emperor to be a talented emperor. After Tang Lu's failure, the imperial party will also pin their hopes on the emperor.

Wang Yan could imagine that the rest of his life would definitely be full of troubles. He hoped that the emperor would be a dou-like character rather than a successful emperor.

However, just when Wang Yan was hesitating, Li Yuanyin sent someone to send Jin Shenghuan to march eastward, intending to join forces with King Lu and obtain news from Nanjing.

Although Wang Yan had already made a lot of arrangements in Nanjing, he was still very shocked and annoyed when he heard the news.

The terms he offered Jin Shenghuan could be said to be very generous. He thought that Jin Shenghuan would recognize the situation and come to Nanchang to admit his mistakes, but he didn't expect this guy to still want to fight and seek Nanjing.

This made Wang Yan murderous, and he must get rid of Jin Shenghuan.

Wang Yan felt that he was kind and friendly, but he didn't know that he had used a lot of poisonous tricks over the years, and his image had changed a long time ago. The people below were actually afraid of him. How could Jin Shenghuan dare to believe Wang Yan's words.

Jin Shenghuan rushed to Nanjing. If he really played with King Lu, you would have 4 people from King Lu, plus two sailors, plus 3 from Jin Shenghuan, and the besieging Nanjing would be 10 people in succession.

If Zheng Chenggong also came, the situation in Nanjing would be less optimistic.

Wang Yan got the news and knew that he could not stay in Jiangxi for a long time, so he had to compromise with Du Yinxi and agreed to his conditions, but he also proposed to find more teachers for the emperor, each of whom could only teach the emperor for one day, and how many teachers Take turns.

Du Yinxi had no objection to this, and agreed to Wang Yan's conditions. Wang Yanliu Liu Tichun led 5000 troops to stay in Nanchang, and then marched towards Nanjing with Du Yinxi and other Jiangxi officials and generals.

Wang Yan ordered the cavalry to go first, and almost one day after Jin Shenghuan passed the Dasheng Pass, Wang Shixiu led [-] cavalry and rushed to the Dasheng Pass.

Dasheng Pass is an important pass in the west of Nanjing. After Jin Shenghuan passed the pass, in order to prevent Wang Yan from chasing him, the general Jin Keyi led 5000 troops to defend Dasheng Pass. forward.

Facing [-] cavalry, the key is that Wang Yan controlled Jiangxi. The family members and assets of the Wuwei Army were all in Jiangxi.

Before Wang Shixiu attacked, civil strife broke out in the pass. The reformed military guards killed Jin Shenghuan's uncle Jin Keyi, and several other Jin Shenghuan's confidant officers. After a firefight, they surrendered.

Inside the doorway illuminated by the torches, cavalrymen kept passing through. The horse army had sharpened their swords for four years, and the first battle they ushered in was not against the Manchus and the Jin Kingdom, but a big civil war.

Wang Shixiu watched the horse troops passing by, he listened to Zhao Shenkuan's words, and looked up at the sky, "The army galloped here from Nanchang, and they didn't rest much all the way, besides, it's midnight, and the [-] army is unable to move, so we will rest here tonight! "

"Follow orders! The general will make arrangements!" Zhao Shenkuan clasped his fists immediately.

After speaking, he pulled the rein of the horse, and was about to leave, but Wang Shixiu hesitated for a moment, and said again: "Wait a minute, Jin Shenghuan arrived in Nanjing, and the defenders in the city saw the increase in the number of rebels, and they might be panicked. You call Tan Tai, Lead [-] cavalry first, look for an opportunity to make some noise, let Gao Dudu know that we are coming!"

If troops were sent to make an overnight raid on this matter, maybe they could hit Jin Shenghuan by mistake, but if the infantry who escaped from the Dasheng pass could pass the news to Jin Shenghuan by dawn, it would be difficult for the cavalry to make a surprise attack.

Wang Shixiu naturally knew this, but he didn't plan to make a surprise attack. In his opinion, it would be good to get rid of Jin Shenghuan and others in this rebellion. I feel that they can be recruited and surrendered, and there is no need to kill them all.

At Jiangdong Bridge, Jin Shenghuan's camp, the generals were silent for a while.

Jin Shenghuan rejected Wang Yan's conditions, even if he regretted it, it was too late. If Wang Yan really wanted to give him a way out and cherished him as a handsome talent, then when he turned to march into Nanjing, he completely angered Wang Yan and insisted on killing him He is dying.

King Tang was captured by Jin Yiwei, and King Lu was about to withdraw his troops. The generals in the tent regretted not supporting Li Yuanyin's opinion, and came to the current situation.

Jin Shenghuan was silent for a while with a gloomy face, knowing that if no decision was made, the military guards would disperse. He was obviously angry when he saw that no one spoke. Greetings to His Royal Highness King Lu!"
