Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 480 Dramatization

Of course Zhao Zhongmou knew what Chen Qisheng meant, he smiled and nodded lightly, and then said: "My lord is right, I think after this incident, my lord will be promoted."

Hearing Zhao Zhongmou's words, Chen Qisheng also showed a smile on his face.

Just as Chen Qisheng and Chen Qisheng breathed a sigh of relief, someone came from below.

The visitor walked straight up to Chen Qisheng, and said respectfully: "My lord, the Black Dragon Guard below has said that they will not enter the city. Their people told the humble officer to tell the two lords, as long as the two lords do their own things well." That's enough, the matters of the Black Dragon Guard don't need to be managed by the two adults."

Both Chen Qisheng and Chen Qisheng were taken aback, what they said was quite rude.

But they had no choice but to look at each other and smile wryly.

What is the Black Dragon Army?
Both of them knew that it was His Royal Highness's close army, which could be said to have been led by His Royal Highness; at the same time, they were also arrogant soldiers, who had never lost a battle, and could be said to be invincible.

It is not surprising that Ming's number one army has such arrogance.Although Chen Qisheng was unhappy in his heart, there was really nothing he could do, because there was no place to impeach him.

Chen Qisheng could only smile and said, "It's best if it's so natural. You go down and ask them if they need some food, fodder and water?"

"Yes, my lord." After the man agreed, he turned and walked downstairs.

Zhao Zhongmou glanced at Chen Qisheng, and said with a somewhat strange tone: "My lord is really good-tempered. If Humble Job encounters such a thing, Humble Job must not have such an idea."

Sighing, Chen Qisheng said helplessly: "Isn't that what happens in the officialdom? I have been an official in the officialdom for so many years. Who hasn't seen them? It's normal for them to have such mental strength. If you compete with others, in a The officialdom is endless. As an official, we just need to do our own thing well. Remember your own duty, and that’s enough.”

"My lord is wise and brave." Zhao Zhongmou said with a smile.

"We are in trouble together, so there is no need to talk about flattery. This time, the imperial court will definitely reward me. As a civil servant, the imperial court will promote me; and you, general, have made great achievements in keeping Jiujiang City under heavy siege. One thing, whether it is the court or His Royal Highness, the general will definitely be reused. We may not have many days to work together, so I am here to wish the general a bright career and a prosperous career in the future."

Hearing Chen Qisheng's words, Zhao Zhongmou's depressed mood was swept away just now, and he said with a big smile: "Then I will also pass on these words to my lord. I wish you a lot of achievements in the officialdom, and you will be able to join the cabinet to pay respects in the future!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling comfortable.

In King Ning's camp.

King Ning sat on the chair with a very pale face. Looking at Liu Yangzheng in front of him, he smiled wryly and said, "After all, it's still a step too late. The crown prince has finally come. I'm afraid it will be difficult this time."

Liu Yangzheng's complexion was not very good-looking either.

At this time, things are really difficult to handle.Now that the crown prince has arrived, and the Black Dragon Guards are dispatched, both myself and the prince are in this mood, how will the generals below feel?
I am afraid that morale is completely lost, and people's hearts are floating.It is really that the Black Dragon Army and the prince put too much pressure on people, and there is no way after all.

"My lord, we have to make preparations no matter what!" Liu Yang said with a serious face: "Tomorrow the prince's army should arrive, are we going to attack by force? At least destroy his five thousand black dragon army, that's all." On the one hand, it can boost morale, and it can also appease the morale of the army."

Hearing this sentence, King Ning nodded and said: "You are right, we really have no way to retreat now. Then we can only do this! You send someone to keep an eye on it, and when we find an opportunity, we Just kill it."

"Yes, my lord." Liu Yangzheng agreed, turned around and walked out.

It's just that Liu Yangzheng just walked to the door when he met a person who came to report in a hurry.

Looking at the look on the other party's face, Liu Yangzheng knew that something had happened, and it was definitely not a good thing, so he stretched out his hand to grab the other party.

"What happened?" Liu Yangzheng asked with a serious face.

The visitor trembled a little. After seeing Liu Yangzheng, he seemed to have a backbone, and then he gradually calmed down. He quickly said, "My lord, something happened!"

"What happened?" Liu Yangzheng asked loudly again.

"Returning to my lord, someone just reported that Nanchang has fallen! Li Ren, the governor of southern Jiangxi, is willing to send troops to serve the king, gather troops from all over the country, and conquer Nanchang while the army is attacking Jiujiang."

After hearing these words, Liu Yangzheng's body shook for a while, and he almost fainted.

No one expected that something would happen in their own rear. This Li Renyuan is really disgusting!
Now that the enemy is on the back, there is no other way. If Jiujiang cannot be taken down, it will face the dilemma of attacking from both sides.

And it is also necessary to win Jiujiang as soon as possible, otherwise the general situation is over.

In such a situation, things get even worse.So many troops were concentrated before to defeat Jiujiang, but now that the prince is down, it is basically impossible to take Jiujiang in a short time.

After calming down his emotions, Liu Yang walked into the big tent with a straight face.

King Ning did not expect that Liu Yangzheng, who had just walked out, would come back again.

King Ning seemed to realize what it was, raised his head to look at Liu Yangzheng, and asked calmly, "Did something happen?"

Hearing King Ning's words, Liu Yangzheng pondered for a long while before saying helplessly, "My lord, something happened."

After hearing these words, King Ning stood up, then shook for a while, and almost fainted.

Liu Yangzheng hurried forward to support King Ning.

King Ning turned his head to look at Liu Yangzheng, and asked bitterly, "What happened?"

"Go back to your lord, Nanchang has been captured." Liu Yang was gritting his teeth and said, "It was Gannan governor Li Ren who was willing to do it. He led troops to capture Nanchang while we were attacking Jiujiang."

After hearing this sentence, King Ning rolled his eyes and passed out.

Liu Yangzheng didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly shouted to the back: "Come on, come on!"

There was a panic outside, and all the soldiers and doctors ran in.

After a while of treatment, King Ning finally woke up slowly. He raised his head to look at Liu Yangzheng, and said with a sad face, "God can't help me!"

Liu Yangzheng didn't speak, because he really didn't know what to say.

In his opinion, this matter has nothing to do with God, and he was too eager to do it from the beginning to the end, starting from the Wang family and his son.Things were not prepared in the first place, and they could have endured for a few more years. The main thing is to secretly accumulate strength.

Even if the crown prince came to Jiangnan, King Ning would be able to tide over the difficulties by abandoning some of his previous arrangements.But the Wang family father and son forced them back.The prince had to send troops.

The most important thing is that they coerced and persecuted the prince. One of their father and son died, and the other was alive, but the prince suffered a lot.

Now that things have happened, the prince is really gone.

Now that Nanchang has been lost, supplies from the rear cannot be delivered, and the food and grass in the army cannot last long.Now the prince's army is in a dilemma. If they continue to attack Jiujiang, then this Li Renyuan will definitely lead his troops over.Li Renyuan has already captured Nanchang, and he will definitely not let go of this opportunity to make meritorious service.

If the prince continues to attack Jiujiang, then the back road will be cut off, and there is no hope.But if we turn back to Nanchang now, the soldiers and horses from Jiujiang will definitely catch up. At that time, we will be attacked from both sides.

King Ning looked at Liu Yangzheng, held out his hand, and said slowly: "Gather your troops and withdraw immediately. Before the crown prince comes, let's go back to Nanchang first. As long as we can take Nanchang back, then we still have Opportunity; as long as we repel the Prince's attack on Nanchang, we can start all over again."

When King Ning said this, the expression on his face was a bit ferocious, and he gritted his teeth.

Liu Yangzheng didn't know whether King Ning believed what he said, but there was indeed no good choice now, and this was indeed the best way out now.

Liu Yangzheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I'll make arrangements right away."

Looking at the back of Liu Yangzheng walking out, King Ning slowly closed his eyes.

In fact, he didn't believe what he said just now.Going back to fight Nanchang now, the hope is not very big, but I have been operating in Nanchang for so many years, there should still be a group of diehards.

As long as I can go back and cooperate with them internally and externally, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.This is already the best choice of all options, so it can't wait any longer.

King Ning suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.

I can't fall now, if I fall, it will really be over.

Zhu Houzhao's big camp, the bonfire is burning at this time.

Liu Jin was waiting by Zhu Houzhao's side. There was a sheep roasting on the fire, and he ordered people to turn it over from time to time, and brought the roasted meat slices from the sheep to Zhu Houzhao.

"Okay, don't be so busy." Zhu Hou looked at Liu Jin and said, "You have walked all the way with me, and you have to wait for me after a long journey. It is hard enough. You can sit down and eat meat today. They'll do it."

"Being able to serve His Highness the Crown Prince is a blessing for a servant, and a servant is not tired." Liu Jin said hastily.

However, he also knew the temper of His Royal Highness, so he didn't continue to refuse, but sat down not far away and started to eat mutton.

I don't know why today's lamb is so delicious.

At this moment, Zhang Yun strode in from the outside, came straight to Zhu Houzhao's side, and said expressionlessly: "His Royal Highness, the people in front of us have sent back a message. After King Ning's people see our people , gave up attacking Jiujiang, and now they are all retreating into the camp."

After hearing this sentence, Zhu Houzhao sneered, and said with disdain in his tone: "It's only this little courage, dare to rebel with this little courage? I really don't know what it means."

At this moment, another person hurried in from outside, it was none other than Yang Lian.

He came to Zhu Houzhao's side, and said with a happy face: "His Royal Highness, good news! Li Renyuan, the governor of Gannan, took advantage of King Ning's attack on Jiujiang, and led his troops to attack the king. They directly captured Nanchang. This is just rumored news."

After hearing this sentence, everyone present was taken aback.

This made Yang Lian a little at a loss.

Originally, he thought it was good news, and it must be the celebration of the whole army.After all, King Ning's rebellion has been quelled. Even if it is not quelled, Nanchang has already been taken down, so there is basically no problem.

But the reality was different from what he thought, the people present didn't show much.Especially Zhang Yun of the Black Dragon Army, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water.

Yang Lian also realized that something was wrong, obviously this news is not good news for the people here.

Because in the eyes of these people here, this is not a quelling of the rebellion at all, but a complete credit.King Ning's native chickens and dogs are bound to be invincible when the army arrives. They can make great contributions as long as they walk over.

It turned out to be like this, and now that Nanchang has been brought down, the credit is less than half.If Li Ren, the governor of southern Jiangxi, would like to bring his troops to the north and defeat King Ning, then it would be even less of a problem for people like himself.

After these people hear such news, if they can be happy, there will be ghosts.

But soon someone realized that this person was Zhang Xi, and he quickly said, "His Royal Highness, now that Nanchang has been taken down by us, then King Ning may jump the wall in a hurry, so we should speed up the progress. Your Highness, please allow us to let I set off overnight with my men and horses, and will attack with Jiujiang early tomorrow morning to defeat King Ning's army, capture King Ning alive, and put down the rebellion!"

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang He. Of course he knew what Zhang He meant by saying this at this time, because he was afraid that his credit would be lost.

Looking at the eager people in front of him, Zhu Houzhao felt very helpless.In fact, the Black Dragon Army has rarely fought in the past two years, and the following people have long been mad.

The Ming Dynasty rewarded military achievements very heavily, but the court had no money in the past, so the rewards were more deducted.But since Zhu Houzhao was in command, the rewards have been distributed according to the rules, and there has never been a shortage of them.

So everyone in the Black Dragon Army knows that fighting is an opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune.They hadn't fought for two years, and they couldn't take it anymore. Now that they have such an opportunity, King Ning's people are not very good at fighting, so this means that the credit is like picking up for nothing, and they have long been regarded as their pockets. of things.

Now seeing their stuff being taken out and the boiled duck flying away, it's no wonder they can bear it.

But Zhu Houzhao didn't care about these things. What he cared about was Li Renyuan, the governor of southern Jiangxi.

Zhu Houzhao is not very familiar with this person, and he is not even very famous, but this time he has done a big job, and he is really going to be famous.

This is also what Zhu Houzhao did not expect.
