The father and son were still talking about things before, but the imperial edict arrived in a blink of an eye.

During the imperial edict, Kangxi praised Yue Zhongqi for being a general, and issued an edict to be appointed as General Fenwei, and at the same time transferred Yue Zhongqi to be the admiral of Jiangbei.

Admiral Jiangbei was a newly established position. Before the Qing court, there were only Admiral Jiangnan and Admiral Jiangnan in the water and land. However, after Zhu Yicheng took over Nanjing, the position of Admiral Jiangnan was already in name only, so the Qing court re-adjusted the defense in the Jiangnan area and established the new Admiral Jiangbei in order to deal with the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing.

In history, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupied Nanjing, the Qing court also set up corresponding positions to target the Nanjing military group. Now, Kangxi transferred Yue Zhongqi to the admiral of Jiangbei, which actually asked Yue Zhongqi to lead Jiangbei's military affairs and deal with the Ming Dynasty.

This is the same as what Yue Shenglong and Yue Zhongqi and his son discussed just now. It seems that Kangxi also saw the subtleties of the battlefields in Hubei and Jiangxi, trying to open up the situation in Jiangbei, thereby assisting Longkodo in solving the problem on Hubei battlefield.

After receiving the imperial edict, the angel was arranged and returned to the house with the imperial edict. The father and son sat down again.

"Father, the imperial edict has arrived, the war is urgent, and the emperor is urging me to leave as soon as possible. My father just arrived, but the child cannot spend more days with his father. I will ask his father..."

Yue Shenglong waved his hand and said, "There is no need to say these. For generals, military orders should be the best. It is naturally clear to be a father. Now the emperor has given my son the Admiral of Jiangbei and the rank of generals is enhanced. The meaning should be known. According to father, the journey from Sichuan to Jiangbei is long, so you should prepare as soon as possible and set off as soon as possible. As for father, you don't have to worry, it's not a problem for me to return home alone."

Yue Zhongqi immediately knelt down, kowtowed three times to Yue Shenglong, then stood up and walked away quickly. Looking at his departure back, Yue Shenglong was relieved to find that his son not only grew up, but also stronger than him, and he would rely on him after he could build a door lintel.

Let’s not talk about Yue Zhongqi’s quick preparation after receiving the order, and then took hundreds of personal troops out of Chongqing, first entering Henan, then from Henan to Anhui and then into Jiangsu.

At this time, the four sides of the battlefield in Hubei were in a melee, and the situation was extremely subtle. After Wang Zhiqing and Zhu Jiancai broke up, they led their troops directly to the west, and at the same time they broke into pieces to try to get rid of the Qing army's pursuit. However, as Zhu Jiancai expected, Wang Zhiqing's behavior not only failed to get rid of the pursuers, but instead made the rebels, whose morale had already plummeted, suddenly became in chaos.

The rebels who had broken into pieces fleeing in all directions not only failed to stop the Qing army from pursuing, but instead made the rebels lose their original organizational state. In addition, the structure of the Bailian Doctrine Army was not very strict, and the lack of training under his subordinates was not a real elite soldier. Wang Zhiqing's random behavior made him lose the already very scarce force in his hands, making it difficult for him to deal with the Qing army.

Wang Zhiqing soon discovered his mistake and hurriedly gathered his troops again to try to save the situation. But it was too late and it took great effort to force Wang Zhiqing to gather some troops. However, at this time his strength had weakened again, resulting in the reduced useable troops in his hands to half of the original ones. Only part of the lost half was defeated by the Qing army, but most of them ran away because of the policy of breaking them into pieces.

Faced with this situation, Wang Zhiqing was almost at the end of his journey. He regretted it so much that he could only expect to get rid of the Qing army's pursuit and escape.

But at Tianmen, Wang Zhiqing was finally caught up by the Qing army, and the two armies fought a battle at Tianmen. Although Wang Zhiqing's troops were greatly damaged and their morale was not high, under this situation, Wang Zhiqing's troops still burst out with the last courage. Thousands of people fought fiercely with nearly 10,000 Qing troops for several days. Meng Jing personally led his troops to break through for Wang Zhiqing, but he was eventually trapped in the formation. Wang Zhiqing led his remaining troops to fight to the death, but he never opened the escape gap. Just as he was surrounded by enemies and was about to be wiped out, Gao Jin's troops finally arrived.

When the Qing army of Jiangxia frequently mobilized its troops, Gao Jin keenly noticed the changes in Hubei and judged that Wang Zhiqing was most likely to have gone south. In order to rescue Wang Zhiqing, Gao Jin led the main force north to Jiangxia, and at the same time, he divided an elite army across the river and detoured to find Wang Zhiqing's whereabouts.

When Wang Zhiqing was caught up by the Qing army at Tianmen, and the news came that he was blocking the Tianmen area. Gao Jin's elite troops heading north quickly approached Tianmen to save Wang Zhiqing. Although Gao Jin's troops were not slow, it had been a few days since they arrived at the battlefield. Fortunately, Wang Zhiqing had the remaining troops resisted desperately at that time, otherwise everything would have ended long ago.

The sudden appearance of Gao Jin's army made the exhausted Qing army unable to understand the situation for a while, and had no choice but to retreat. Thus, they lifted Wang Zhiqing's siege and pulled Wang Zhiqing's remaining troops back from the edge of the cliff. Although Gao Jin's army is elite, there are not many troops, and in order to ensure that the movements are all light troops, it has not formed an absolute advantage over the Qing army. In addition, the subsequent Qing army troops are still in reinforcements. After rescuing Wang Zhiqing's army, Gao Jin's army decisively moved south until after Xiantao joined the main force, it was completely safe.

When he saw Gao Jin, the three sage kings who were full of energy were now like an ordinary old man, and they were no longer wearing his kingly robe. In order to avoid the attention of the Qing army, Wang Zhiqing was just wearing ordinary armor. Moreover, because of the war and escape in recent days, his body was not only covered in blood, but also in a very embarrassing state.

"My father-in-law!" Gao Jin stepped forward and bowed quickly.

"Son-in-law!" Seeing Gao Jin, Wang Zhiqing felt mixed emotions and burst into tears in an instant.

On that day, he led his troops to revolt in Sichuan. At that time, the momentum was huge and occupied the entire Sichuan in just a few months. His subordinates were millions, and his momentum was magnificent and did not think of the second person. At that time, Wang Zhiqing was ambitious and intended to enter the Central Plains and compete for the world. In his opinion, he could sweep the world with his own strength in a short time, and it would be easy to truly take over that position.

But who would have thought that in just one year, the once prosperous White Lotus Doctrine Army became like this. Not only did the dream of entering the Central Plains shatter, but even his old nest, Sichuan, was completely lost. Around him, there were only less than a thousand elites who left Sichuan back then, and those old brothers were even dead, missing, and in the end, only Lady Lin and Zhang Miao were still there.

When Wang Zhiqing thought of this, he felt sad and couldn't help but burst into tears. When he saw Gao Jin again, Wang Zhiqing still felt deeply regretful. Gao Jin had persuaded him not to leave Henan, but Wang Zhiqing did not listen to Gao Jin's dissuasion at all. The arrogant Wang Zhiqing didn't think so much at that time? Victory had already blinded his eyes. How could he listen to Gao Jin's persuasion if he wanted to occupy the Central Plains?

But now, everything has been confirmed, Gao Jin's judgment is correct. If he could join forces with Gao Jin at that time and enter Hubei directly, then the current situation would definitely not be the current situation. Maybe his army not only occupied the entire territory of Hubei, but also captured a province of Jiangxi. In addition to Sichuan's old nest, Wang Zhiqing, who owns the land of three provinces, will inevitably have a great increase in strength. Advance can win the world, and retreat can defend one side.
