Zuo Liangyu has always indulged in military discipline, but he was finally punished. His only adopted son died under the chaos. Zuo Menggeng's death did not cause any trouble in Jiujiang City. Instead, the gold and silver caused a greater storm. More and more chaos soldiers joined in, making Jiujiang City's battle even more bloody.

Li Chengdong stood on the mountain with five thousand cavalry, silently watching the rebels' killing each other. The fight lasted from morning to noon. They fought from the city to the outside of the city, from outside to the military camp. At this moment, the two camps of the rebels had almost been damaged. The fight outside gradually stopped, and the fight in the city became more and more severity. It was about to be dark after another hour, but there was no sign of stopping.

A sound of horse hooves like thunder sounded in the distance, and a bright red flag fluttered high. Under the flag, countless red figures appeared. After a while, red figures were all over the mountains and fields, as if they were a red ocean. In the middle of this ocean was a neat square team, and above the square team, the white feathers trembled slightly.

"Sir, the emperor's army is here." A deputy general said excitedly.

"Let's go, let's welcome the emperor." After Li Chengdong said that, he turned his horse's head and ran towards the trembling direction of Bai Ling in the distance.

When he saw Li Chengdong coming, the Yulin Guard, who was marching, did not stop at all. He automatically separated a passage for several people to pass through. He immediately closed it. Li Chengdong's personal soldiers behind him had to turn their horses and lead the way for the Yulin Guard in front.

"For the country's wings are as prosperous as the forest." Li Chengdong rode a horse while looking at the Yulin Guard soldiers passing by. Under the white feathers were resolute and young faces, and everyone looked at them. Although the road surface was uneven, the queue of ten thousand people was still neat. It is hard to imagine that this was a team that had only been established for two months, and many of them had only a military career for about one month.

"I am here to see the emperor. It is not convenient to salute him. I also ask the emperor to forgive him." Seeing the emperor's carriage, Li Chengdong hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed dozens of steps away.

The carriage stopped, Wang Fu moved his body and waved his hand: "Your dear, don't be too polite. Tell me, what's the situation of the rebels?"

"Return to the emperor, the fight outside the city has stopped, and the city is still fighting each other. The ministers have already understood the whole story of their killing. The emperor is overjoyed. Zuo Ni is dead. Some of his subordinates want to return to the court, and some want to surrender to the Tartars, so they kill each other. Those generals who want to surrender to the court have sent messengers to our army. With the guarantee of Huguang Governor He Yuncong, they want our army to help eliminate the rebellion who wants to surrender to the Tartars, but the ministers do not dare to move without the emperor's will."

"Oh, they have sent an envoy, bring the envoys up, and order the entire army to camp on the spot. My dear, go down and prepare. Tomorrow, depending on the situation, we will decide whether the entire army will attack."

"Yes, I'm leaving." Li Chengdong held his fists and retreated. After a while, an officer in his thirties was brought to Wang Fu;.

"I am the queen of Xiangyang General Jin Shengheng's deputy general Liu Chengyin meets the emperor. Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

"Liu Chengyin, I seem to have heard of this name." Wang Fu thought hard, but didn't think of anything, so he had to give up: "Go back and tell Jin Shengheng, Zhang Yingyuan and others that I can save them from the crime of being a traitor. However, anyone who wants to surrender to the Tartars must be killed and killed. I no longer need these capricious people."

"Yes, my uncle obeys the order." Liu Chengyin's heart was shocked. The governor was right. The emperor hated the Tartars deeply.

Shortly after Liu Chengyin went down, Wang Fu remembered that Liu Chengyin, wasn't this guy the one who threatened Zhu Youlang to move the capital from Guilin to Wugang in the Yongli Dynasty? In the early days of the Yongli Dynasty, Liu Chengyin relied on his 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses, and threatened the emperor in his hands, rejecting dissidents, and almost regarded the Yongli Dynasty as the Liu court. Later, when the Qing army came, Liu Chengyin immediately led his army to surrender to the Qing army. If Zhu Youlang had not escaped while he was in contact with the Qing army, Zhu Youlang would have fallen into the hands of the Qing army long ago.

"Fuck, it's another dog traitor." Wang Fu couldn't help but curse and swear, changing his mind to find an excuse to cut Liu Chengyin.

"Kill! Kill!" Li Guoying waved his long sword and shouted nervously. His body was covered with blood, and his own more of it was touching others. The longer the war, the more unfavorable it was for Li Guoying and others who were determined to surrender to the Tartars. The news that Zuo Liangyu was dead spread throughout the army. Most people had lost confidence and were unwilling to be enemies with the court. Of course, they were even more unwilling to surrender to the Tartars. After all, surrendering to the Tartars was a matter of humiliation of ancestors.

More and more people turned against Jin Shengheng, Zhang Yingyuan and others. If it weren't for the officers' suppression, Li Guoying would probably not have many people. He realized that something was wrong and wanted to leave several times, but he didn't know that Jin Shengheng and others were eager to make contributions and refused to relax at all.

At this moment, in Jiujiang City, Li Guoying and others' troops were compressed to about one-third of the city. From the middle of the night to now, everyone was exhausted. Li Guoying had to go on the battlefield in person to barely stabilize the formation.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!" The Ming army, who was attacking Li Guoying's troops, suddenly made a tsunami cry, which scared Li Guoying's subordinates.

It turned out that Sun Chengyin returned to the city and conveyed the emperor's words to Jin Shengheng, Zhang Yingyuan and others. When they heard that the emperor's army was outside and had pardoned them in person, Jin Shengheng and others were all very happy and passed the good news to the officers and soldiers below. The officers and soldiers who were still a little depressed just now were immediately energetic and then they made a cry like a mountain collapse and tsunami.

"What's going on?" Li Guoying asked his personal soldiers.

"Sir, it seems that the emperor has arrived." The personal soldiers replied in a crying voice. Even the personal soldiers couldn't help but secretly complain to Li Guoying in their hearts that the Tartars were far away in Shanxi, and the emperor was so late. Why should we surrender to the Tartars?

The emperor's army was only a few miles away from the city. The outline of the army could be seen at the head of Jiujiang City, but the flag was a little blurry. When he heard the Ming army shouting loudly below, most of Li Guoying's subordinates had guessed that they were at a disadvantage. How could the emperor fight this battle?

"Huang Shu, you bastard, you are so troubled." Li Guoying couldn't help but curse: "Don't beat, stop beating, pass the order and we surrender."

At this time, Li Guoying still had about 30,000 remaining soldiers. As long as there was an army, Li Guoying believed that the emperor would spare him. If he had fought all the battles, it would be hard to say. This was a trick that was tried and tested by military generals during the Chongzhen Dynasty. At this time, he completely forgot how the two Lius of the four towns in Jiangbei died.
