When Xinjian was lost, Liu Tai knew that Nanchang was not too long. A few days later, the Ming army launched a full-scale attack on Nanchang. Liu Tai personally went to the city to defend. Although Liu Tai was extremely brave, he still could not stop the Ming army's overwhelming offensive. Two days later, the east gate of Nanchang was first broken, and then the south gate was also attacked by the Ming army. Liu Tai fought to the death and was eventually shot and died.

As soon as Liu Tai died, Nanchang was captured by Ma Gongcheng, and all the Qing army's troops in Jiangxi were annihilated, and the overall situation in Jiangxi was decided.

Zhou Zhongliang, who was locked in the Xinjian prison, was in panic all day long. He didn't know what the Ming army would do to him, whether it would be cut into pieces, or beheaded directly? Or a glass of poisoned wine allowed him to live his life?

The fear of death has been wandering in his mind. Zhou Zhongliang had a great desire for life at this time. He didn't want to die, even if he lived like a dog, he could just save his life.

"Come! Come! I have old age with His Majesty the Emperor of Ming! I want to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Ming! I want to meet His Majesty... Woo woo..."

Zhou Zhongliang has to repeat this kind of cry several times a day, as if the more miserable he shouted, Zhu Yicheng could hear it. He now put all his hopes in this slimness, and at the same time he felt extremely regretful in his heart.

That's right, it's just regret!

If he had not chosen Yuan Qi back then, but continued to follow Zhu Yicheng, how could he end up like this now? Following the Dragon's merit! He was easily given up by himself. If he had been with Zhu Yicheng's side, he would have been in the position and his ministers long ago, how could he have miserable now?

"Stop shouting! Are you tired? Is it still necessary to sleep!"

Bao Jian cursed not far away, saying that the two brothers were locked together, and there was only one "single room" between them.

Compared to the hysterical Zhou Zhongliang, Bao Jian still looks like a military general. After being injured and captured, Bao Jian also wanted to go out and was locked in prison and wanted to eat and sleep. In his opinion, his fate was no longer grasped. Since he reached this point, it would be better to make his last period of comfort.

"If you weren't a bastard, how could I end up like this?" Zhou Zhongliang became angry when he heard Bao Jian's voice. When he was in Jiujiang, Zhou Zhongliang proposed to rescue Wangjiang, but it was because of Bao Jian's will that Wangjiang was eventually lost.

If Zhou Zhongliang hadn't lost Wangjiang, he would have despaired about defending Jiujiang. How could he leave Jiujiang and go south to Nanchang? In the final analysis, it was Bao Jian's fault! Why didn't this guy die in battle? It's really a good man who doesn't live long, and he will live for thousands of years!

"Bah!" Bao Jian cursed: "If you, the old turtle, escaped from Jiujiang first, how could I lose the important town of Jiujiang? You, the old turtle, who is afraid of death, have the face to say this?"

"You bastard!"

"Damn old turtle!"

For a moment, the two of them cursed each other. The Ming Jun guarding the prison shook his head repeatedly and said to his subordinates: "You said, am I doing something wrong?"

"Did you do something wrong? Boss, what does this mean?" the subordinate asked in confusion.

The man sighed, "I think my biggest mistake in my life is to make them eat too much. Listen, these two bastards look full of energy. Why don't they have a meal today?"

"This... is not right." The subordinate scratched his head and said, "Don't forget that the commander had given him the command. It would be bad if the two of them were too hungry to blame him. Besides, the boss, this prison is also very boring. Don't you think it's interesting to hear their noise?"

He suddenly laughed and scolded the general. In fact, he also had this feeling. A governor and a general, who were all second-rank officials, and they actually quarreled with street shrews like this, which added some fun to the boring guards.

Yang Xu locked Zhou Zhongliang and Bao Jian up and didn't have time to pay attention to them for the time being. After the Battle of Nanchang, the Ming army began to march westward and gradually recovered the entire territory of Jiangxi, the two men had been imprisoned in the Xinjian Prison for a full half month.

At this time, the military newspaper sent to Nanjing also received a reply from Zhu Yicheng. According to the previous plan, the Ming Dynasty had sent people to Gaojin, Hubei to contact him. As for the gifts and conditions for the contact between the two parties, of course, Zhou Zhongliang and Bao Jian were Zhou Zhongliang and Bao Jian.

What’s ridiculous is that Zhou Zhongliang still had fantasies about his future at this time, especially when he was in prison for half a month, which made Zhou Zhongliang have an illusion.

He thought that if Mingjun wanted to kill him, he would have dragged him out and chopped his head long ago. But now he has been locked up for so long, is it because there is a holy intention in Nanjing?

If he really had the intention of the saint, perhaps his life would be saved. If he didn't take him to Nanjing, he would have to see Zhu Yicheng, and with his own silence, he could let Zhu Yicheng let him live. After all, he had made contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention that he saved Zhu Yicheng's life back then, and later betraying Yuan Qi would be more beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. You must know that Yuan Qi is Zhu Yicheng's enemy. Doesn't he kill Yuan Qi mean to avenge Zhu Yicheng?

In addition, he gave up Jiujiang directly, which made the Ming army easily take down Jiujiang. Isn’t this also a manifestation of making contributions to the Ming Dynasty? In Nanchang, he was passive and lazy, and he also used this method to help the Ming Dynasty. Even in Xinjian, he had not checked any military actions, which was enough to show that others were in the Qing court and were clear!

Zhou Zhongliang thought about these strange ideas more and more he felt that it made sense. Over time, he was even hypnotized by himself and considered himself a hero of the Ming Dynasty.

Until Zhou Zhongliang was asked to be sent to Hubei, Zhou Zhongliang thought he was going to Nanjing. He changed his previous decadence and even showed some brilliance in his expression. He even sneered at Bao Jian, who was traveling with him.

Zhu Yicheng's judgment was correct. When Gao Jin received the news from Zhu Yicheng, Gao Jin, who had not considered it for too long, made a decision.

Gao Jin flatly refused the Ming army from Jiangxi to Hubei and borrowed from south to north. This matter was completely rejected by Gao Jin's entry in this way. The pressure on Gao Jin's troops was extremely high, and it would also affect Gao Jin's strategic deployment. However, Gao Jin proposed that the Ming army could take a detour, and Gao Jin's troops could ensure its flanks, join forces to attack the Qing army north, and open up the situation in Hubei.

At the same time, the Ming army needed to give Gao Jin's unit a batch of food and equipment as a condition for Gao Jin's unit to send troops. In addition, the Ming army also needed to hand over Zhou Zhongliang and Bao Jian to Gao Jin for treatment. The Ming Dynasty did not consider these conditions for too long, so the two sides quickly reached an agreement.

When the agreement was reached and the envoy was sent away, Gao Jin came to the inner hall. There was an incense table in the right place of the inner hall, which was placed on it. On it was the tablets of Yuan Qi and Wang Yousan. After lighting the incense, he respectfully lit them. Gao Jin said in a low voice: "Brother, third brother, wait, brother, I will soon send the heads of the two traitors Zhou Zhongliang and Bao Jian to you to sacrifice to your spirits in heaven..."
