Bright Spring

The dangers where the officers and soldiers can hold back the rebels a little bit are the Xiangjiang River and the Ganjiang River.However, the morale of the officers and sailors is still low, the Xiangjiang and Ganjiang rivers are too long, and the terrain and water conditions are complicated; the rebels should be able to cross eastward after detours!Sooner or later.

The commander-in-chief of the army navy is Chen Xuan.Chen Xuan's lieutenants were all generals in the Jingnan Army who had received awards and promotions from Hong Xichao. Chen Xuan's situation was very difficult to surrender.Even if Chen Xuan could surrender, it would not be of much benefit; it was just that after his family was killed, the king of Han thought of his misery and let him continue to receive a salary.

The situation of the generals of the navy is mostly to drift along with the tide, only obey the military orders, and not seek meritorious deeds but seek no faults.Their family members are all in the capital, and the military power is checked and balanced by each other, and they are supervised by officials and eunuchs. Those who have different ideas are also at great risk.

Now the rebel army does not have a decent navy and warships; after the government navy broke through Kuizhou before, it has already wiped out a navy temporarily trained by the rebel army in Chongqing Mansion in World War I!The rebel army can't even enter the river, and there is no way to make an emergency landing on the navy.

That's why Zhang Fu recently made such a prediction about the movement of the rebels after thinking about it for a long time in Changsha Mansion.and draw a route on the map

However, even if Zhang Fu could judge the enemy's movement, there was nothing he could do!In the end, he still retained the helpless strategy of defending Nanchang Mansion in Changsha Mansion and threatening the rebels' retreat.

At this time, Zhang Fu was sitting on the public seat, staring at the map for a long time.He couldn't help muttering in his heart: Can this stop the rebels?And can Changsha Mansion and Nanchang Mansion really be defended?

Zhang Fu fell into deep thought again.

After a long time, he found a written memorial from the official case, which was about to be delivered to the capital.Zhang Fu opened the memorial and read what he wrote again.

In the memorial, Zhang Fu asked the sage to summon the whole family of King Ning and the guards in Nanchang Mansion to move to the capital as soon as possible, so as to prevent King Ning from opening the gate of Nanchang!Zhang Fu was almost sure that once the rebel army approached the city of Nanchang, King Ning would find a way to open the door to claim credit.

He also wrote that the imperial court is requested to send reliable ministers to deploy defenses in the cities along the rebel army, and the officers and soldiers should avoid battle with the rebel army; Get the casting method for the Rebels' new cannon.

Before mobilizing enough troops and obtaining new artillery, the imperial army should rely on the strategic depth of [-] miles to defend instead of attack; and start with the rebel army's food and grass supplies, in order to delay the rebel army and strive for a new round of decisive battles!

Zhang Fuzheng was thinking in ecstasy, when suddenly a voice said: "The last general pays homage to the commander-in-chief!"

Liu Sheng had arrived at the lobby at some point, and was standing in front of the case holding his fists and holding a military salute!Zhang Fu was slightly startled when his meditation was suddenly interrupted, he hastily put away the memorial, and immediately put his hand into his sleeve pocket silently.

Before Zhang Fu could reply, unexpectedly Liu Sheng asked again: "The commander-in-chief wants to present a memorial?"

At this moment, Zhang Fu came back to his senses, and it had been a while, his expression and movements were completely calm, he nodded and said indifferently: "I just want to revise and embellish, and then I will go to the memorial."

"Isn't it something important?" Liu Sheng asked calmly.

Zhang Fu said in a deep voice: "The current situation is not a cliché!"

Liu Sheng smiled wryly, "Isn't it?"

"General Liu, sit on the chair." Zhang Fu pointed to a chair on the side.He also walked over, sat across from a table, and shouted: "Tea!"

Zhang Fu looked calm and composed, but at this moment he was still inexplicably nervous.Maybe because of his wavering and guilty conscience, he always felt that Liu Sheng's eyes seemed to have ulterior motives, even if those eyes only glanced over Zhang Fu's sleeve for a moment.

Did Liu Sheng guess what happened?

Zhang Fu thought for a moment, and quickly ruled out this guess.Because even Zhang Fu himself didn't expect that he would waver on the road of considering surrender!I'm afraid that in the entire Hongxi government and opposition, even political opponents would not doubt that Zhang Fu is the most reliable person!

And what could Liu Sheng guess?

At this moment, Liu Sheng said with a worried look: "The general heard that the rebel army on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River is advancing south! The rebel king is already planning to detour from Yongzhou. Are you going to continue eastward?"

Zhang Fu nodded, "Otherwise? Dare the King of Han want to rule the Xiangjiang River?"

Liu Sheng was amused by this sentence, the two of them looked at each other and smiled wryly at the same time.Liu Shengdao: "This kind of thing, I'm afraid it can't be done by drawing the river. When our Jingnan army arrived on the north bank of the river, the imperial court also wanted to draw the river to rule."

When Zhang Fu heard this, he suddenly thought of something.He thought to himself: Doesn't Liu Sheng want to surrender? !

He believed that he had been framed by Gu Cheng and He Fu before and after, so now his suspicion gradually increased.

Zhang Fu was a little nervous at first, fearing that his secrets would be leaked; after he calmed down, when Liu Sheng mentioned the words of building a court, he suddenly had faint doubts.

He was silent for a moment, brooding intently on the source of the vague, fleeting suspicion.At the same time, he picked up the teacup placed by the sergeant, and slowly approached it to take a sip.

At this moment, Zhang Fuxun followed the topic of Jian old affairs, and gradually remembered that before that, Liu Sheng mentioned Jianchao once. I remember that everyone was still in Tanzhou at that night. Zhang Fu talked about the strategy of guarding Changsha City and Nanchang City that night. Liu Sheng mentioned the similar experience of Sheng Yong Tiexuan back then!

As for the two people who had guarded Shandong during the Jian Dynasty, Tie Xuan died a miserable death, and the whole person was cooked; if Sheng Yong hadn't been secretly protected by the King of Han, he might have ended up in the same way.

Liu Sheng compared the past with today's two events, so wouldn't the generals guarding Changsha and Nanchang also die miserably?In this way, what might be on Liu Sheng's mind?

The more Zhang Fu thought about it, the more he felt that Liu Sheng was different from Xue Lu and Tan Zhong, and he was even in a better situation than Zhang Fu!Except that his family members were in the capital, Zhang Fu felt that Liu Sheng was too likely to surrender!

At this moment, Liu Sheng spoke again: "Now that the rebel army has moved, how will the commander-in-chief arrange the defense of the second city? Who will go to Nanchang City?"

Zhang Fu almost held his breath, watched Liu Sheng's eyes very seriously, and suddenly replied: "General Liu was the most calm during the battle of Baoqing Mansion, why don't you lead the troops to guard Changsha City alone?"

In an instant, Liu Sheng's eyes showed a slight gleam of joy, as well as a sense of relief.That subtle look flashed by, and Liu Sheng immediately frowned and said, "Why doesn't the commander-in-chief arrange at least one more general?"

Zhang Fu glanced at the other people in the lobby, and whispered mysteriously: "King Ning has to deal with it quickly, Nanchang City has the biggest flaw!"

Liu Sheng nodded solemnly, clasped his fists and said, "The last general will defend this city to the death to repay the emperor's favor!"

Zhang Fu agreed, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart: Damn, is there anyone really reliable in this imperial court?

Yangwu Hou Xue Lu should be the most reliable, that guy killed Qu Neng's family in order to lead the army again; once the general situation is settled, Xue Lu may be useless no matter how much he begs for mercy!Zhang Fu felt that if he was Xue Lu, he would definitely fight to the end, at least he would not have to bear the infamy of a traitor first and then be killed in humiliation!

Tan Zhong should not surrender.The most important thing is not that Tan Zhong and Xue Lu have a good relationship; it's that Tan Zhong's brother, Tan Qing, participated in the affairs of the current emperor's ascension to the throne, so Tan Qing was very trusted. At the beginning of the emperor's ascension, he was appointed as the commander of Jinyiwei make.

Zhang Fu also heard that as early as in the "Battle of Jing Nan", the Tan family had already taken refuge in the current queen Zhang's family.

Zhang Fu glanced at the thoughtful Liu Sheng again, and thought to himself: Everyone is from the "Battle of Jingnan", who doesn't know the details?

In the past two days, something has been delayed, and it will be updated every day for the time being.Book friends please forgive me.

Chapter 551 The person who opened the door

Before I knew it, it was the twelfth lunar month, and the last month of the sixth year of Yongle (the first year of Hongxi) came quietly; the second year of Zhu Gaoxu's "Campaign of Crimes" was coming to an end.

Zhu Gaoxu remembers that last winter he spent in the chief envoy of Sichuan, but this winter he is in Huguang.

Huguang Province, located in the south, is still cold in winter, and compared with Sichuan, the wind is stronger.The gate of the central hall in the courtyard of the Chinese Army was closed, but from time to time a gust of cold wind came in through the crack of the door, which made people shiver suddenly.

At this time, Qu Neng's troops, as well as the troops under Sheng Yongping's command before Ping'an, and the main forces of the King of Han's army had already approached Hengzhou City one after another.

Because Zhang Fu didn't reply for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu's letter of persuasion to surrender fell into the sea; so in the lobby of the Chinese army, Zhu Gaoxu and several generals had some disagreements about the next decision.

Pingan said: "My lord, the last general thought that Zhang Fu would not be able to surrender! If the 'Great General of Ping Han' would also surrender, then the puppet dynasty is really ridiculous, and I am afraid that it will be ridiculed by the world for 1000 years!"

"Hmm..." Zhu Gaoxu habitually uttered a voice, looking thoughtful, still sitting on the chair above without moving.

Hou Hai glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, and seemed to feel that the King of Han didn't agree with Ping'an; Hou Hai immediately straightened his waist, turned to Ping'an and said, "Back then Li Jinglong was still the 'General Pingyan'! Why didn't he open the capital city as usual? Door?"

Pingan let out a "huh", looked at Hou Hai, and said with a complicated expression, "Won't Li Jinglong be made fun of by later generations?"

Hou Hai said again: "Our people from the Beisi sent back a report a few days ago. Zhang Fu didn't make any movement at all. He neither handed over the messenger nor the letter of persuasion, nor let the messenger go. Then there is Chance……"

Ping An shook his head, and said to Hou Hai with a little sneer on his face: "The current situation of the Puppet Dynasty is more ominous than good. How dare he Zhang Fu do that, like betraying Qian Changshi? I have led troops to fight for many years, what kind of opponent? I have never met people like Zhang Fu, who is one of the people who will not surrender in the puppet dynasty..."

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and glanced at him, and Ping An said again when he saw this, "My lord is just trying, anyway, we will lose at most a messenger!"

Sheng Yong said calmly: "If Zhang Fu does not surrender and the navy remains silent, our army can only go south and march east from Nanchang Mansion in Jiangxi. Therefore, the army that is about to arrive at Hengzhou City must not delay; Immediately set out in the direction of Yongzhou Prefecture, and prepare for crossing the river in advance.
