Zuo Liangyu gave an order, and the soldiers immediately took action, took out fire sticks, ignited dry branches and threw them towards the boat.
Because Zuo Liangyu originally prepared thousands of ships for an army of 200,000, Zuo Liangyu felt a little distressed to have to burn more than half of them in one go.
But there is no way.
If he does not burn these boats, they will be left to pursue Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong.
Zuo Liangyu would never make such a mistake.
Some soldiers from the left army who came one after another were frightened when they saw the raging fire burning in the boats in the river bend.
How could such a good person ignite such a big fire?
They finally understood after seeing Zuo Liangyu's ship setting sail.
Marshal, Marshal is abandoning them.
The soldiers ran desperately on the river bank, trying to catch up with the sailing ship.
But how is this possible?
The distance between them and the boat is getting farther and farther, and after a while, they can only see a black spot.
After receiving the imperial edict, Huang Degong immediately dispatched troops to kill Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province.
For him, the trip to Dengzhou was a shame, and he would never allow such a shame to happen again.
On the contrary, he wanted to take this opportunity to avenge his past humiliation and prove that Huang Degong was no better than Gao Jie or worse than the generals of the Shence Army.
With this idea in mind, Huang Degong had a strong desire to fight.
He ordered a rush march all the way from Luzhou and arrived before Zuo Liangyu advanced to Jiujiang.
This will give you enough time to prepare and wait for work.
Huang Degong has always looked down upon Zuo Liangyu.
This guy was deeply favored by the emperor, but he escaped from many battles.
Now he is committing rebellion under the guise of the Qing emperor.
He cannot be forgiven under any circumstances.
Huang Degong was born in the martial arts camp of the Chongzhen Dynasty and was very loyal to the Zhu Ming royal family.
He could not wait to catch Zuo Liangyu, skin him, cramp him, and torture him in every possible way.
Finally, after several days of rapid march, Huang Degong arrived outside Jiujiang City before dark that day.
Governor Yuan Jixian received another imperial edict and knew that Huang Degong was coming for reinforcements.
But to be on the safe side, he still asked Huang Degong for transfer orders from the Ministry of War.
After verifying that the transfer order was correct, Yuan Jixian ordered the city gate to be opened to allow Huang De's troops to enter the city.
Huang Degong enforced military discipline very well, and the soldiers did not commit any acts of robbery or adultery after entering the city.
Yuan Jixian was very satisfied and praised Huang Degong a few words.
"Yuan Junmen, don't praise me any more.
I, Old Huang, am just a rough man.
I only know how to go into battle to kill the enemy and repay the emperor's favor.
I don't bother to care about other things."
After saying that, he waved his hands and laughed loudly.
Yuan Jixian gently stroked his beard and said: "Haha, Mr.
Huang is really a wonderful man.
I will count with my fingers.
This time the left thief will be captured alive by Mr.
Huang."
"oh"
Huang Degong's eyes lit up and he said: "Yuan Junmen can also do divination and fortune telling."
Yuan Jixian nodded slightly: "I understand a little bit."
"That Zuo Liangyu is so treacherous and openly treasonous that everyone should punish him.
With my character, Mr.

Huang, I really want to kill him.
But such a treasonous culprit should be escorted to Beijing and handed over to His Majesty for judgment."
Of course Huang Degong would not actually kill Zuo Liangyu in front of the formation.
Capturing him alive and offering him as a prisoner would be a greater achievement than giving away his head.
With Huang Degong's powerful army, Yuan Jixian finally felt confident.
He asked harmoniously: "I wonder how many people Mr.
Huang brought this time?"
Huang Degong said in a deep voice: "Thirty thousand people."
He brought most of the elites with him this time, leaving only 10,000 or 20,000 people stationed in Luzhou and other places.
Yuan Jixian nodded when he heard this: "With these 30,000 people here, there is absolutely no possibility for the left thieves to escape.
The governor has ordered the navy to block the river.
By then, it will be impossible for a piece of board to float across the river."
Huang Degong was overjoyed when he heard this.
He really didn't expect that Yuan Jixian still had a navy in his hand.
In this way, even if Zuo Liangyu wanted to run away, it would be impossible.
Unless he abandons the ship and lands.
That was exactly what Huang Degong wanted, and he couldn't wait to face off with Zuo Liangyu.
"Haha, with Yuan Junmen's words, I, Lao Huang, feel relieved.
I will leave the matters on the river to Yuan Junmen, and I, Lao Huang, will take care of the matters on land."
Yuan Jixian was not too angry at Huang Degong's casualness.
If it were more than ten years ago, if any commander-in-chief dared to speak like this to the governor, he would be dragged down and beaten.
If the governor is made anxious, it might be possible to behead the capital.
Wasn't He Renlong killed by Sun Chuanting?
That was only a few years ago.
But now the situation is very different.
The military generals are in power and the civilian officials are weak.
If you want to achieve political achievements, you must cooperate with the military generals.
Just like this time, if Huang Degong didn't come to reinforce Yuan Jixian, it would be impossible for him to really stop Zuo Liangyu by himself.
What's more, Huang Degong was granted the title of Marquis.
Not only did he have the title of Commander-in-Chief, but he could also be classified as a military officer, and to a certain extent, he could be on an equal footing with Yuan Jixian.
Yuan Jixian's approach to this was to turn a blind eye.
As long as Huang Degong didn't go too far, he wouldn't care.
Everything is focused on the overall situation, and conquering the world depends on generals.
When the world is peaceful, won't His Majesty the Emperor still have to rely on civil servants like them to govern the country?
"General Huang has been working hard all the way.
Let's take a good rest for two days.
When the left thief escapes, we can capture him in one fell swoop."
"Haha, let me borrow Yuan Junmen's good words."
"Father, handsome, twenty miles ahead is Jiujiang."
After entering the Yangtze River from Fushui, Zuo Liangyu and his son completely escaped the pursuit of Ma Jinzhong and Jin Shenghuan, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But Zuo Liangyu sighed and said: "My father made a negligent move and lost hundreds of thousands of troops in vain."
Thinking of this, Zuo Liangyu felt pain in his body.
Forget about the nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses who were not his direct lineage.
What really made Zuo Liangyu sad was that most of the soldiers and horses from his direct lineage's fourth battalion were lost in Xingguo Prefecture.
As a result, the army around him only had 30,000 people, which was such a loss that he didn't even know his own mother.

"Why should commander-in-chief lament?
With the prestige of commander-in-chief, if you want to recruit troops, you can't easily capture them.
Governor Yuan is also aware of current affairs.
If commander-in-chief has a good talk with him, he will definitely not embarrass commander-in-chief."
Zuo Liangyu smiled bitterly and said, "I hope so.
But here and now, my father has only 30,000 soldiers and horses, and there are pursuers.
I only hope that Governor Yuan will remember the past friendship and let us father and son go."
Zuo Mengeng rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Master, why don't you put all the responsibility on Jin and Ma?"
Zuo Liangyu frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Zuo Mengeng said harmoniously: "My son is saying that Marshal Father can describe Qingjun as the personal behavior of Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong.
Marshal Father did not know about it before.
When Marshal Father found out, he tried his best to stop it, but unfortunately Jin and Ma had already He prepared to burn down the city of Wuchang, and then went down the river to plunder his father.
He brought troops loyal to the imperial court to Jiujiang and asked Governor Yuan for help. " :
