How could Zhou Zhongliang's words be able to conquer Liu Tai? Liu Tai was very clear about Zhou Zhongliang's every move. Although Zhou Zhongliang agreed verbally, he did not take these things seriously. He directly explained to his subordinates a few words and then left it alone. At present, the implementation of Nanchang and surrounding prefectures has not been effective at all. Not only did the food, grass, and weapons were not fully prepared, but even the requisition of civil servants was delayed. This is also the reason why Liu Tai was anxious.

In Liu Tai's opinion, Zhou Zhongliang was simply a tragic and passive disobedience. If Zhou Zhongliang was Liu Tai's subordinate, Liu Tai had already directly implemented the military law. But now the order given to him did not directly deprive Zhou Zhongliang of his power, let alone Zhou Zhongliang was the governor of Jiangxi. If Longkodo was in Nanchang, there would be no problem. Longkodo, who held the king's flag plaque, had the right to deal with Zhou Zhongliang, but now the far water cannot save the near thirst. Liu Tai, as a military general, could not do this at all. Restricting Zhou Zhongliang's actions was his greatest authority.

Besides, don’t forget that Bao Jian’s Jiujiang Town is still nearby. Once something goes wrong with Zhou Zhongliang, Bao Jian will definitely react. Whether Bao Jian directly surrenders to the Ming army or flees to the city, it is fatal to the situation in Jiangxi. Although Liu Tai, who was afraid of being a timid player, had the intention to kill Zhou Zhongliang, he could not do so.

"Since Lord Zhou sees, when will it be completed?" Liu Tai asked with anger suppressed his anger.

"Well..." Zhou Zhongliang said, "This fact is not good. Now the local people are in panic, and it is really not easy to raise them. But please don't worry, the official will urge all parties to this matter as soon as possible and will not let Liu Zhengzhen be embarrassed."

There is no difference between saying this and not saying it. Liu Tai could no longer help it and immediately asked, "Mr. Zhou! The situation is critical now. Once Nanchang is lost, the entire Jiangxi will be in the hands of a thief. How can you get the eggs in the vast nest? Does Lord Zhou feel that you can protect yourself? Don't forget that Yuan Qi was defeated and died in such a defeat back then. If Lord Zhou feels that he can save his life, then I will congratulate Lord Zhou first?"

Liu Tai gritted his teeth and said word by word, with a sharp look in his expression. Zhou Zhongliang was first shocked, then angry. The so-called "slapping someone in the face" is not a slap. Liu Tai can't bear it anymore.

But it is impossible for Zhou Zhongliang to turn against Liu Tai directly. After all, even his life is in the hands of Liu Tai. If he really angers him, Qiu Ba will directly slash himself with one knife. Isn’t that wrong of death?

However, as for what Liu Tai said, Zhou Zhongliang had thought about it, but because of the Jiujiang incident, he also knew that he had no good results, and it was just a little earlier or later. But no matter what, the hero did not suffer the loss in front of him, and Zhou Zhongliang still had a great pursuit of life, so he quickly smiled and said, "Why is this statement by General Liu? Of course, I know this truth. No matter what, we are now riding on the same boat, and it is not good for everyone to capsize, right? Besides, I did not agree to General Liu. Let's do this. I will urge you to do this matter, hurry up as soon as possible, and give General Liu an explanation?"

Speaking of this, Liu Tai was helpless, but no matter what, Zhou Zhongliang agreed to cooperate. Liu Tai could only give a few more words of advice and explain the pros and cons with Zhou Zhongliang, and then got up and left.

Walking out of the mansion and looking up at the gloomy sky, Liu Tai felt powerless. There were strong enemies outside and such colleagues inside. Can Jiangxi and Nanchang still defend this?

Facing the Ming army in the south and the Ming army in Jiujiang, the total number of the two sides was 70,000 to 80,000, and their troops in Nanchang were only less than 30,000. If the people were added to the strong, they were less than half of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the newly built Jiujiang Town was in the plan of self-protection and could not expect it at all. In this case, Liu Tai, who was determined to defend Nanchang, was not sure at all.

"Sir, are you going to the military camp now or..." The personal soldiers beside him couldn't help but step forward and ask.

Liu Tai, who came to his senses, turned around and looked at the door behind him, gritted his teeth and said, "Go back to the mansion first!" After that, he jumped onto his horse, waved the horse whip in his hand, and headed towards his general's mansion.

Although Zhou Zhongliang gave up, Liu Tai was anxious after all, and he was even more afraid that Liu Tai would really take his life in anger. So after Liu Tai's "visit" Zhou Zhongliang still did something. Under his supervision, the speed of food, grass, weapons, weapons and civilians has progressed much faster. Although it has not met Liu Tai's requirements, it is a bit unsatisfactory.

Fengcheng, taking down Fengcheng is equivalent to opening the gate to Nanchang. It is logical that the Qing army should be stationed in Fengcheng, but due to Zhou Zhongliang and Bao Jian, Liu Tai was unable to mobilize more troops to reinforce Fengcheng, so he could only gather the main force to Nanchang for defense.

Therefore, there were not many defenders in Fengcheng. In addition to the first battalion of green camps, there were more than a thousand local yamen runners and tyrants. This was a mantis arm to chariots in front of Yang Xu's army. Although Yang Xu's 50,000 army advanced northward, and because he wanted to stabilize the place, there were only 30,000 Ming troops to reach Fengcheng, but these 30,000 elite troops were not something that Fengcheng could resist.

The magistrate of Fengcheng had long been determined to die, and personally led people to the top of the city with the county magistrate and others to defend the city. Fengcheng's green camp was also tenacious, but because of the huge gap in strength, Yang Xu broke through the city wall in just one day. When the overwhelming Ming army attacked Fengcheng, the magistrate saw that the situation was hopeless, and immediately jumped down from the city tower. The county magistrate, Qian Zong and others died in battle. The Ming army easily captured Fengcheng at the cost of dozens of people.

"Congratulations to the Grand Marshal, congratulations to the Grand Marshal, and the Grand Marshal made another contribution!" After entering Fengcheng, the deputy general congratulated Yang Xu with a smile. Fengcheng was already in his hands, and the next one was Nanchang and Xinjian. These two cities were all in Jiangxi. Yang Xu fought south and north, from Zhejiang to Fujian, and then from Fujian to Guangdong, and now from Guangdong to Jiangxi. In terms of military achievements, Yang Xu is now famous.

"Can there be any news about the scout? Can the Qing army in the north have any abnormal movements?"

"When the general returns to the commander-in-chief, the Qing army in the north is now like a turtle-shrinking movement."

"Turning turtle? Haha..."

Although it was a happy event to capture Fengcheng, Yang Xu was not as happy as his subordinates. As a general who had experienced many battles, although he was unstoppable throughout the journey, Yang Xu was not blinded by victory. Now he is still very calm.

To be honest, since entering Jiangxi, the Ming army has not really encountered a great war. All the way was the local troops in Jiangxi, and the real main forces of the Qing army in Jiangxi have not yet fought. From this point of view, the Qing army in Jiangxi is very clear about the strength gap between the two sides, so the Qing army has gathered all the main forces in Nanchang and Xinjian. When attacking Nanchang and Xinjian next, they will inevitably encounter hard battles. Compared with those county towns, big cities like Nanchang are not easy to fight, and Yang Xu is extremely clear about this.

Originally, Yang Xu planned to siege the city and attack aid, trying to attract the main force of the Qing army in Nanchang to consume the opponent's strength. But the Qing army in Nanchang did not move at all, and even Fengcheng did not provide any rescue. As for Xinjian, the same is true. It seems that the Qing army is determined to defend the two places, and we still need to think carefully about how to fight Yang Xu next.
