Chapter 785 Zhu Cihong is inflated

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he picked up the letter and looked at it. It was the letter sent by Li Chengdong and others, the old general of Xuzhou Town, saying that he would like to enlarge the army to enter the city anyway. However, there are Eight Banners in the city, and the four gates are blocked by stones. It will take some time. Get ready, please give them more time from Zhu Cihong.

After reading the contents of the letter, Zhu Cihong felt even more complacent. The 270-plus years of prestige accumulated in the Ming Dynasty and the emperor's golden signboard are no match for Gao Jingzhong, a grassroots bandit.

Seeing Zhu Cihuang's expression, Chen Zilong said, "Your Majesty, Gao Jingzhong definitely doesn't want to see us go too smoothly, but he probably doesn't want us to have any accidents either. It's just like Your Majesty, now he doesn't want to see the Western Wei Dynasty defeated by the Qing army."

Zhu Cihong frowned, and sat upright, "What does the Qing family mean?"

Chen Zilong saluted and said: "Your Majesty, what I mean is that since the Western Wei Dynasty sent someone to send news about this, it must have been rumored. Your Majesty still needs to be vigilant!"

Zhu Cihong frowned, fell silent for a while, and began to think in his heart, "Gao Jingzhong Yang Yan went to the east, but the troops were blocked in Puzhou. Seeing that my army took back the two Huaihe Rivers, it was inevitable that I would be jealous. He didn't want me to recover Beijing, so did he That's for sure, but it's impossible for me to stop my recovery just because of a piece of information from Gao Jingzhong. Don't I have a Jinyiwei? Gao Jingzhong still has some brains. He can't rely on a piece of information to stop me from Xuzhou. Therefore, the Western Wei Dynasty may indeed have noticed the movements of the Qing army, and was worried that I would be defeated and drag down the Western Wei Dynasty's Eastern Expedition, so it sent such a message."

Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, Gao Jingzhong obviously looked down on me!He was blocked by the Qing army, and he actually came to worry about me, which is really ridiculous.Besides, even if the Qing army really came, so what?Am I scared?
Zhu Cihong's face changed, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Our army has arrived in Xuzhou, and the soldiers are threatening North Zhili and Shandong and Luoyang to the west. It is indeed impossible for Dorgon to remain indifferent, and it is very likely that we will draw out troops to stop them I, but the Qing family don’t need to worry too much. The army is marching all the way north, and the morale is high. Even if the Qing army comes to help, my 30 troops will not be afraid. Of course, we still need to be prepared. In the direction of Henan, send another army to cross the canal and serve as an outpost for the army to monitor the north and give the army a warning."

Chen Zilong nodded, "I know!"

Zhu Cihong nodded slightly, stood up, and said vigorously: "Hmph, I will be able to take Xuzhou in a few days, and then I will go to Shandong, and the overall situation will be settled."

······
In Xuzhou City, Nikan, King of Jingjin County, Tong Tulai and others gathered together, discussing the situation worriedly.

In Nikan's study room, candlesticks were lit, and several figures were printed on the windows, and soldiers of the Eight Banners were standing outside with swords.

"My lord, Zhu Cihong's army of more than [-] troops is now besieging the city, and the troops in the city are not stable. If there is no reinforcements, the situation will be bad!" Tong Tulai said with a sad face.

Nikan said with a gloomy face: "Don't panic, I have already ordered people to block the four gates and closely monitor the generals of the green battalion in the city. As long as the Ming army does not attack the city, Xuzhou will have no problems for the time being."

Tong Tulai said: "But seeing that there is no response from the city, Zhu Cihong will definitely not procrastinate. It is indeed a clever plan for the prince to ask Li Chengdong to write a letter to delay the time. The Ming army did not attack the city, but sooner or later Zhu Cihong will lose patience. The army is attacking the city, and the humble job is afraid that the green battalion in the city will make a fake show and do it for real!"

Gang Atai also said: "If the Ming army attacked the city, and the green battalion broke out in the city, it would be difficult to defend the city."

Nikan couldn't do anything about it, he was speechless for a while, and then he sighed for a while and said: "Now we have to drag it for as long as we can. If we can't hold it, then we should first select the elite and go out for a sneak attack at night to defeat the Ming army." The vigor of the army, and then defend until the Regent's reinforcements arrive!"

Tong Tulai, Gang Atai and the others nodded, and that's all they can do now.

"My lord, how do you control the generals of the green battalion in the city?" Tong Tulai asked again.

Nikan frowned, "Gather them to discuss matters, and feed them with food and drink first. As long as the Regent's reinforcements arrive, they won't dare to commit any misconduct."

······
Outside the city of Xuzhou, flags were flying, filled with troops from all walks of life of the Ming army, filled with the accents of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Lianghuai, Yangtze River, North and South.

The forbidden army of the Ming court, the Ming army in Jiangbei, the green battalion soldiers anyway, and the recruited civilian husbands gathered around Xuzhou, and the camps spread as far as the eye can see.

Zhu Cihong's residence was close to the Grand Canal. The Chinese army raised his big flag, and the emperor's various ceremonial guards were here.

Although the Ming army is numerous, there are few cavalry. The horse army of the Qing army still has a great deterrent effect on the Ming army.

After receiving the notice from the Western Wei Dynasty, Zhu Cihuang didn't want to accept the situation, but the Ming army still took corresponding precautions. Not only did they send troops and horses forward, as outposts, they also sent out detailed operations to collect the movements of the Qing army, and also let the army reinforce the camp. .

At this time, outside Zhu Cihong's big tent, there were many torches and the guards were heavily guarded. Several generals in the tent were reporting the military situation to Zhu Cihong.

In the big tent, the high-spirited emperor sat on the throne, raised his hand and said, "Duke Jingguo, Mr. Gaoge, the two Qing families came to see me together. Is there something important?"

Huang Degong clasped his fists directly and said: "Your Majesty, the weather is getting colder today, and the army must take Xuzhou as soon as possible."

"It is said in the city that Nikan is very careful, but Li Chengdong has already made a complete plan, and within three days, he will definitely do it. The Qing family don't need to be too impatient!" Zhu Cihong smiled, looking very calm.

But Huang Degong said: "Li Chengdong has already delayed for several days. If you continue to delay, the canal will freeze, which will be extremely ineffective for us. I am really worried."

Gao Mingheng said: "Your Majesty, today is the agreed date, but Li Chengdong delayed for another three days, and I feel that it is inappropriate. Lord Jingguo has already made preparations to attack the city. If Li Chengdong really wants to cooperate anyway, there is no need to cooperate with Jingguo Kilometer. It's all up to him to dedicate the city."

Huang Degong immediately clasped his fists and said proudly: "Your Majesty, if Li Chengdong is willing to respond internally, I will definitely be able to break the city!"

Zhu Cihong couldn't help frowning, Huang Degong and Gao Mingheng were people he relied heavily on, both of them said that, Zhu Cihong was a little shaken, he was about to speak, but suddenly there was a commotion outside the tent.

"Your Majesty is camping, what's the noise!" Huang Degong walked to the curtain and couldn't help shouting loudly.

"Guo Gong, a camp to the south has been attacked!" The soldiers outside the tent reported urgently.

Huang Degong's face changed, Zhu Cihuang in the tent heard the voice, got up from his seat in a hurry, and said angrily: "What's going on?"

When a group of people came outside the tent, they saw a camp in the south, bursting with flashes of light, and there was a faint explosion sound~~~~~
