"Mr. Bao, Wangjiang is the gateway of Jiujiang. Now that I hope the troops are approaching, I have been asking for help many times, but you still do not move. What is the reason?" Zhou Zhongliang asked Bao Jian correctly.

Bao Jian, who was sitting upright, spread his hands and said, "What did Lord Zhou say? As the general of Jiujiang Town, Bao is naturally Jiangxi. How did this general become the general of Anhui? Wangjiang has always been an Anhui territory. Shouldn't Mr. Zhou ask me if he is not going to send troops?"

As he said that, Bao Jian said again: "Sometimes ago, Lord Zhou asked me to hurry up to defend Jiujiang again and again, but now he wants me to cross the border. I want to ask Lord Zhou. If I lead troops eastward into Wangjiang, this will not only break the court's laws and not comply with the rules. If Lord Zhou goes up to me, I will be unable to explain it even if I speak."

"You!" Zhou Zhongliang rushed up angry and raised his hand to point to Bao Jian. He finally calmed himself down. Then he said: "Although Lord Bao said it well, Wangjiang is indeed not under the jurisdiction of Jiangxi. You must know that once the bandit army takes Wangjiang, its troops will be able to reach Jiujiang directly. Moreover, Wangjiang has sent people to ask for help. Now the bandit army in Anqing is in a strong situation. Longzhongtang is in the battle of the enemy. We must join hands to fight the enemy together!"

"Haha, that handsome man wants to ask Lord Zhou. Some time ago, Longzhongtang sent a letter to him and Lord Zhou to ensure Jiujiang together. Is there any such thing?" Bao Jian asked back.

Zhou Zhongliang could not answer because it was true, and it was because after he sued the lawsuit, Longkodo wrote to Bao Jian, and also gave him a letter, telling them that the Central Plains War is at a critical moment, Longkodo hopes that the two of them will work together to ensure that Jiujiang is not in a hindrance.

"That's true, but isn't Bao Wangjiang's purpose to defend Jiujiang? Is Lord Bao going to act voluntarily? Will he not do it alone?" Zhou Zhongliang couldn't help asking.

Bao Jian's face suddenly changed, and he sneered with displeasure: "Mr. Zhou, I don't agree with this. How do you call it arbitrary? How do you do it again? Since that's the case, Master Zhou, bring it."

As he said that, Bao Jian spread his hands directly at Zhou Zhongliang. Looking at Bao Jian's appearance, Zhou Zhongliang was confused for a moment.

"What?"

"Of course it is the order of Longzhongtang!" Bao Jian said in a formal manner: "As a military post, if I have a command to go up to the top, I will immediately raise an army without saying a word, but if there is no order, the matters in the military will of course be decided by me. Don't say that you, Lord Zhou, are just a governor, but not a governor of Jiangxi, so what if you are a governor? If you have no order, I will not obey orders!"

After saying that, Bao Jian didn't even look at Zhou Zhongliang, and stood up and waved his sleeves and turned around and left. Zhou Zhongliang looked at Bao Jian who was swaying away, so angry that his teeth were about to break. If he had known that Bao Jian was such a bastard, he shouldn't have won him over at the beginning. Isn't Bao Jian because of Zhou Zhongliang today?

Looking back at Yuan Qi's subordinates, Bao Jian was very respectful to him. He said he would never go west. Later, he betrayed Yuan Qi together. Bao Jian was also a general under Zhou Zhongliang. After the matter was completed, Zhou Zhongliang did not treat him badly, and he also gave him an official position to the best of his strength.

But who would have thought that Longkodo had already had another idea and dug a hole for Zhou Zhongliang early, which not only made Bao Jian later promoted to the general of Jiujiang Town, but also caused a lot of conflicts between him and Bao Jian.

Zhou Zhongliang knew very well that this was all Longkodo's arrangement, and it was also a way to prevent Yuan Qi and his group from surrendering to the generals. But who would have thought that Bao Jian was really a villain. After gaining power, he did not take Zhou Zhongliang seriously at all. After a while, he still had to go against Zhou Zhongliang everywhere. It was fine on weekdays, but now when the enemy is approaching, Bao Jian is still like this, and he is really short-sighted.

But when Bao Jian is like this, Zhou Zhongliang is helpless. Bao Jian is right. Wangjiang is not Jiangxi, let alone he, the governor of Jiangxi, cannot control him. As the general of Jiujiang Town, Jiangxi, there is no need to cross the border and intervene in Anhui's military affairs. What's more, Zhou Zhongliang is just the governor of Jiangxi, and he is not the governor of Jiangxi, nor is he the governor or governor of Jiangxi. As a local official, he cannot control Bao Jian. There has always been a difference in civil and military affairs. He only has the power to suggest. As for whether to send troops, how to send troops is all within Bao Jian's thoughts.

Wangjiang is in danger, and Zhou Zhongliang’s most worried thing is coming. Once Wangjiang is occupied, the Ming army will directly point to Jiujiang. Doesn’t Bao Jian know the reason why he loses his lips and teeth are cold? At this time, Zhou Zhongliang deeply complained to Longkodo, why he put a waste like Bao Jian in Jiujiang? If it were someone else, he would give Wangjiang some support no matter what!

But now, time is tight, so it is too late for Zhou Zhongliang to contact Longkodo again. The journey is long and it takes at least half a month to go. Based on Zhou Zhongliang's judgment of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, Wangjiang might have been cold in half a month.

"Sir, it's not good!" At this moment, a man hurriedly ran in and shouted when he saw Zhou Zhongliang.

"What happened?" Zhou Zhongliang immediately stood up and asked.

"Pengze discovered the thief army." The visitor said in panic.

"What!"

Hearing this sentence, Zhou Zhongliang felt like a thunder sounded in his ears, and his face suddenly changed.

Pengze is located at the junction of Jiangxi and Anhui, just east of Jiujiang, west of Wangjiang. Pengze discovered the Ming army. Doesn’t it mean that Wangjiang has fallen? Calculate the day, it’s only a few days since he received Wangjiang’s request for help. Could it be that Wangjiang was so ineffective that he could not defend it for even half a month?

The whole person couldn't help but shake it. Zhou Zhongliang stood firmly with the back of the chair, suppressing the horror in his heart and asked, "Be serious about this?"

"It's true!" The visitor patted his chest and promised, and took out the letter of help from Pengze County and handed it over. After taking the letter, he opened it and looked at it for a few seconds. Zhou Zhongliang's hands couldn't help trembling. That's right! It was indeed the Ming army, not only the Ming army but also the elite among the Ming army.

Could it be that Wangjiang is really gone? Thinking of this, Zhou Zhongliang's mouth showed bitterness. He had arguing about Wangjiang and Bao Jian just now, but he threw Wangjiang away in a blink of an eye. Now that the enemy army is approaching, what's the significance of those disputes before?

It would be fine if Wangjiang was lost, but Peng Ze had to save him. Zhou Zhongliang calmed down and asked someone to prepare a sedan chair immediately. He wanted to chase Bao Jian who had just left. Didn’t he tell a lot of reasons before him? But now Peng Ze is in danger. As the general of Jiujiang Town, he can’t be a black ghost anymore, right?
