There was a fire on the north bank, Zhao Ming was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't care to listen to Liu Siyu's report, so he strode out of the festival hall.At this time, he stood on the steps of the doorway, looked north, and sure enough, he saw the northern sky, and the fire was soaring into the sky."
It's really on fire!"
Zhao Ming was surprised.The Zhejiang soldiers and generals in Longtan Town poured out one by one, all standing outside the house and outside the tent, looking at the north bank of the Yangtze River, only to see that the sky there was red, reflecting half of the sky as if it was day.For a time, the Zhejiang soldiers on the south bank of the Yangtze River couldn't help but talk a lot, speculating about what happened on the north bank.At this time, Tang Tong and other generals hurried over.Everyone looked at it for a while, and Li Benshen said: "It seems to be in the direction of Datong Mountain."
Such a big fire suddenly ignited, I am afraid that it was not water, someone should have set it on fire. ”Tang Tong exclaimed: "Datong Mountain is the place where Li Guo's grain and grass are gathered, and if there is such a big fire, could it be burned by Zhang Du Town?"
”As soon as these words came out, many soldiers couldn't help but feel a burst of joy, and their faces showed excitement.Zhao Ming led 70,000 people to the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, but it was not easy to take down the city of Nanjing, which was guarded by 130,000 people.Now, generals such as Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi led their armies to attack outside the city, making it impossible for Zhao Ming to get close to Nanjing, making the situation a stalemate.If the grain and grass of Li Guo on the north bank are burned, the officers and troops in Jiangbei may be defeated, and then Zhang Mingzhen's troops and Li Chengdong's troops will be able to cross the river and join forces with Zhao Ming, and it is very likely that they will enter Nanjing.Therefore, when all the people heard that there was a fire in the Great Copper Mountain, they all rejoiced.Zhao Ming couldn't figure out the situation on the north bank now, and when he saw such a big battle on the north bank, he hurriedly shouted: "Let Guo Zhong immediately send someone to investigate." ”East of the Great Copper Mountain, the front line of the old Jiangkou.In order to cooperate with Zhao Ming, Zhang Mingzhen contained 150,000 officers and troops in Jiangbei, took the initiative to go out of Yangzhou and launched an attack on the official army.However, Li Guo was not incompetent, and there were more soldiers and horses than Zhang Mingzhen, so although the Zhejiang army attacked fiercely, it did not get any bargains.When Zhao Ming captured Zhenjiang, raised troops to the west, and killed Nanjing, Li Chengdong returned to Yangzhou.At this time, he and Zhang Mingzhen happened to be on the front line of the old Jiangkou, and the fire in the direction of Datongshan also alarmed the Zhejiang army in Jiangbei.It's just that, unlike the joy of the Zhejiang army on the south bank, the Zhejiang army on the north bank is full of doubts.Li Chengdong and Zhang Mingzhen stood outside the tent, in the direction of Datong Mountain, and the dust that drifted from it fell into the camp like snow.Li Chengdong touched the dust on the armor and couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that the water is gone?"
”Zhang Mingzhen shook his head and said: "It's unlikely, Datong Mountain is an important place for Li Guo's military rations, where is it so easy to walk through the water."
Moreover, the fire is so big, it is obvious that someone set it on fire!
”Li Chengdong frowned and said: "This fire is not you and me, and it can't be set by the people on the south bank, so who will it be?"
”Zhang Mingzhen groaned for a while, and suddenly his body was shocked, could it be······ On the fourth watch, it was dark in Nanjing, only occasionally the footsteps of the patrol soldiers could be heard, and the sound of bangzi was heard, only a few commercial shops in the west of the city, as well as the banks of the Qinhuai River, were still singing and dancing.Due to the arrival of Zhao Mingbing in Nanjing, the curfew in the city is more severe, and the patrol is several times more, but the curfew in the city is only closed after dark, and the personnel of each workshop are not allowed to go out, but in the workshop, everyone can still move.Zhu Yujian treated the people of Nanjing very tolerantly, and the soldiers were in the city, and there were still people drinking and having fun in the squares of the western city, while the school grounds in the eastern city, the southern city and the northern city were silent.In the palace, Emperor Longwu handled government affairs until the third watch last night, and as soon as he lay down and fell asleep, he was woken up by Empress Zeng, "Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
”Zhu Yujian half-opened his bloodshot eyes tiredly and asked, "Are you going to go to court?"
”Empress Zeng hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's the noise outside the palace, and the celebrant has an emergency report!"
”Zhu Yujian was startled when he heard this, sat up from the bed suddenly, and hurriedly asked, "What emergency?"
Could it be that there is a change in Nanjing?
”Since Zhao Ming captured Zhenjiang and arrived in Nanjing, Zhu Yujian has not slept a peaceful night's sleep, and often has nightmares.Zhao Ming's bravery, Zhu Yujian is very clear, and it is precisely because he is clear that he is very afraid in his heart, and he is often dominated by the nightmare of Zhao Ming's pursuit and killing.Although Zhu Yujian was determined to defend Nanjing and was unwilling to evacuate, in fact, he was worried every day, even if one day, Zhao Ming suddenly entered Nanjing."
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty is relieved, it's not that there has been a change in Nanjing, I heard that it is the military situation in Jiangbei!
”Empress Zeng was busy talking, Zhu Yujian calmed down when she heard the words, sat on the bed and put on her shoes, and said, "Let people in!"
”At this time, Pang Tianshou walked in quickly and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the north of the Jiangbei is on fire, and Li Guogong's granary has been burned!"
”"What?"
When Zhu Yujian heard this, he only approved a robe and only wore one shoe, and then opened the curtain and came out.Pang Tianshou kowtowed in fear, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the military department, and there is a fire in the direction of the Copper Mountain in the north of the Yangtze River!"
”After Guoan defected to the Longwu Dynasty earlier, only the Zhejiang Department remained, Zhang Mingzhen, Li Chengdong, and Zhao Ming, and Zhao Ming was still in Nanyang at the time, and the Longwu Dynasty wanted to solve Zhang Mingzhen and Li Chengdong first.Therefore, while Zhu Yujian increased his troops in Jiangbei, he gathered a large number of ordnance and grain and grass in the east of Yangzhou to attack Yangzhou, which was entrenched in Zhejiang.Among them, because of its proximity to Yangzhou and its ease of defense and attack, Datongshan has become an important place for the forbidden army, storing the rations of the officials and soldiers in Jiangbei.Now Pang Tianshou said that the fire in Datongshan is equivalent to Yuan Shao being burned to the nest, and the Ming army in Jiangbei will inevitably be defeated.In an instant, Zhu Yujian's eyes were dark, and his body shook."
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, steady!
”Pang Tianshou was shocked and hurriedly held Zhu Yujian up.Zhu Yujian stabilized his body, and suddenly shouted in the middle of the sound, "God kill me!"
”Jiangbei, near Yizheng County, in the official army camp.Li Guo listened to the report, only wore a pajamas, and hurried out of the account.At this time, he saw a fire in the direction of Datong Mountain, and suddenly it was like five thunderbolts, his mind was blank, and his body was shaky.Li Guo didn't really care much about the implementation of He Tengjiao's strategy, and he didn't take the initiative to exterminate the Zhejiang army, so he didn't attack Yangzhou, but let the Zhejiang army attack him, wanting to wait for the Zhejiang army to vent and then launch a counterattack.These days, after the Zhejiang army has been attacking for several days, the offensive has been exhausted, Li Guo is preparing to launch a counterattack, but he does not want to, Datong Mountain is on fire, and the grain and grass are completely destroyed.At this time, he was standing in the camp, and there were soldiers rushing around everywhere, and he couldn't help but be horrified.Li Guo grabbed a scurrying officer beside him and asked loudly, "What's the matter, it's the rebels who killed it?"
”"Back to the Duke of the Kingdom, I don't know about my humble position!"
The officer said in horror.Li Guo was furious, "If you don't know, dare to leave your post without permission!"
”"Guogong, the soldiers of the North Camp have already run away!
Humble duties are also ......"
Li Guo pushed the officer to the ground, drew his saber, and roared angrily, "Don't panic!"
Those who leave their posts without permission are killed!
