The Chuzhou army fought in Taiping Prefecture for three days.

Caishiji was under the rule of the Dangfu Tu, and the prefect naturally asked people to pay attention to Caishiji Water Pass.

Unexpectedly, the Jinling Navy and the defenders came to support the guards, and they only had to defend for half a day.

The Taiping Prefecture's soldiers have a total of 5,000, but the slim is 30%, and the remaining 3,000 people are half of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled.

How can such a man fight against the powerful Chuzhou Army?

The prefect of Taiping was afraid.

He did not dare to fight, nor did he dare to surrender to the enemy, and he hanged himself to death.

The Taiping Tongzong was stunned.

Without the prefect standing in front, he was the one who made the decision.

He sat opposite the commander for a long time, and saw that the Chuzhou army was at the city, he also wanted to hang himself.

Even ants survive in silence.

The prefect can only die, but it is easy to die and difficult to live.

It is still the commander who advises the magistrate to do so without taking too much into consideration.

Now that the Huanghuai River is in corruption, the news is out of reach.

This magistrate is from the northwest. For example, the distance between Beijing and central China is far away. Before the court attacks, people can be sent to send letters to the relatives to avoid disaster.

Nothing like the prefect, he is from Shandong, next to the capital.

The Taiping Tongzong and the Taiping Commander opened the door and presented the city.

Although the magistrate of Fanchang was a juren who donated his official position, he was not a regular official, but he had a strong character. He closed the city and resisted and decided to sacrifice himself to the city.

Unfortunately, the old man had this feeling. The county magistrate who was born in the local area was reluctant to let the whole clan tie him up. The two joined forces to tie the old county magistrate and sacrificed the city.

However, Wuhu County is united in the whole country.

The small city was guarded like a turtle shell, which made people have nowhere to attack, and it stopped Du Laoba's tribe for two days.

It was not until several other troops divided their troops to help and 30,000 troops attacked strongly that Wuhu County was captured.

On this day, the leader of Mazhai led his troops to Hezhou and handed over to Huo Wu.

Huo Wu brought 10,000 troops to cross the river and gathered with the generals.

...

Binjiang County Government.

Hou Xiaoming and Li Yuan both sent someone to send back the news.

The news from Hou Xiaoming is that the gentry and people in Dasheng Pass should have received the news that the Chuzhou army attacked Taiping Prefecture, and the family moved not one household or two households.

As early as early September, people had already started moving away, either to Jinling, or to the south.

Li Yuan asked about the news that the Great Wind Guardian was the governor.

This guard general is from Henan.

This is not surprising, the officials in the north are in charge of the south.

Strangely, in early September, soldiers were ordered to guard the river and martial law.

Huo Bao listened and thought about the strangeness.

At the beginning of September, it happened to be the time when the Chuzhou army entered Hezhou.

Dasheng Pass is to guard against the Chuzhou Army?

Is that so highly respect for Chuzhou Army?

Be prepared at that time, so now that the Chuzhou army has crossed the river, wouldn’t we need to be prepared even more?

Why are you not prepared for now?

Or, in early September, the Chuzhou Army was not the one who was guarding against Dasheng Pass.

Who is guarding against?

To the east of Dasheng Guan is the Jinling Navy and to the west is the Anqing Navy.

In early September, the Anqing Navy was blocking the entrance to Chaohubei.

This great victory of the gate guard was bribed even if he was not Shou Tianwan.

The one who is guarding against it is the Jinling Navy...

After all, at that time, the Chaohu Navy still belonged to the court, and the Anqing Navy instead followed the rebellion.

If the Jinling Navy was dispatched and headed north along the Yuxi River, it would block the Anqing Navy's retreat.

As for the current appearance of sending out and slack, does this mean to face the enemy with the Chuzhou Army?

In this way, the strange reaction of the Great Winning Guard can be explained clearly.

Huo Bao breathed a sigh of relief and sent someone to Taiping Mansion to send messages.

Huo Bao's guess was good, and he defeated the Guan Guardian, which did mean to join the Chuzhou Army.

He is from Henan. The Maitreya religion has been passed down in Henan for 70 years and has the largest audience.

Even the relatives and friends of this defender were also many Maitreya, so he had no disgust towards the White-Shirt Army.

As early as when Shoutian Wan sent people to win him over, he hesitated even though he was moved. After all, Dasheng Pass was thousands of miles away from Qichun.

After receiving the heavy gift from Qichun, he arranged water soldiers on the river surface and acted as an act of intercepting the Jinling Navy, but he was more watching.

If Qichun conquered Chaohu Navy and had the capital to scatter the river, then he would have invested.

However, the Chuzhou army emerged and went to Hezhou and Luzhou in ten days. The Anqing Navy, which had just been obtained in Qichun, was wiped out.

This victory over the gatekeeper had to think about it.

When the Jinling Navy and the Jinling Guards came to help Caishiji, he made a decision.

Let’s look at the battle situation of Caishiji. If the officers and soldiers win, there will be barriers on both sides of Dasheng Pass and there will be room for defense. If Caishi Ji loses, there will be no barriers on the west side, Dasheng Pass will face the Chuzhou Army and Chaohu Navy.

On September 20, Dasheng Pass received news that the Chuzhou army had captured Caishiji. The next day, the garrison sent a confidant to Hezhou to ask for a meeting with Huo Wu.

When the news of Huo Bao reached Huo Wu, Master Lin had already personally visited Dasheng Pass as a representative of the Chuzhou army.

On September 23, Huo Wu and Feng's troops went to Dasheng Pass by land. The generals of Chaohu Navy went from water to Dasheng Pass. Deng Jian and Water Jin, Majuzi's troops went to Moling Pass. Du Laoba stayed in Taiping Prefecture.

...

Jinling.

The Jia Yuan brothers and Shi Jin received news that the Chuzhou Army had obtained the three counties of Taiping Prefecture, and also received a letter from Huo Wu.

In the letter, Huo Wu thanked the two families for their help to the Chuzhou Army for several months and solemnly invited the three to join the Chuzhou Army.

The day before this, Xue Biao had arrived in Jinling to invite the Jia brothers to "move them with emotion and reason", and wanted to lobby the two of them to join the gang.

Jia Yan and Jia Yuan looked at each other and were very surprised.

Master Huo Wu didn't tell the story of the two brothers to the public?

The brothers are very grateful.

After all, the more confidential it is before Jinling is captured, the safer the two of them are.

Xue Biao didn't know the inside story and just thought that the two brothers were shocked by the expansion speed of Chuzhou army.

"You and my family have been in a relationship in the early years and have made an appointment with their in-laws... They should be together to seek wealth and prosperity!" Xue Biao sincerely invited.

Now among the leaders of the Chuzhou Army, except for a few generals, Master Lin has Du Lao Ba’s troops behind him, but his side has insufficient power in the army.

It seems to be commensurate with the Master of Ma Village and the Du Laoba brothers, but he knows what the relationship between them is.

With the Jia and Shi families, it is different.

Xue Biao’s intention to recruit an alliance is straightforward. Brother Jia Yuan is not fools, so how could he respond?

The direct submission to Master Huo Wu is the Chuzhou army, but it is different from the subordinates who are submission to Master Huo Wu.

The two brothers Jia Yuan discussed the excuse and made excuses

Neither brother took Xue Biao to heart.

Even if Xue Biao said that, he ranks third under Master Huo Wu.

But the seats do not represent strength.

In this world, the number of soldiers and horses is the strength.

Under the Chuzhou army, there were five or six people and several generals, but Xue Biao had no military power.

Even logistics is not in hand.

The true status can be seen.

...

Today, when I received a reply from Huo Wu, the two Jia Yuan brothers left Xue Biao and discussed with Shi Jin again.

There are 15,000 defenders inside and outside Jinling City, and 4,000 people outside the four cities, with a total of 19,000 people.

On September 18, 5,000 defenders were transferred, and now only 10,000 defenders were left, and 4,000 people were 1,000 households outside the city, totaling 15,000.

The Jinling officialdom has been corrupt in recent years, and civil and military officials have been rushing to make money, which has led to more than 20% of the gap in the army. In this way, there are actually more than 11,000 defenders inside and outside the city.

"Old Zhao, who is in the north of the city, was so scared that he had not had a good sleep a few days ago when he heard the news from Hangzhou. The day before yesterday, the defenders went to Taiping Mansion and were so scared that they handed out a resignation letter... He was so convinced that the west of the city and the south of the city were all newcomers this year. One was from a merchant and donated officials just to find a background, the other was from the Zhen family, and the cousin of the eldest sister-in-law... These three places are not scared, but Brother Shi was afraid that he would think of a solution..."

Shi Jin was the deputy envoy of the Jinling Guard Commander and the fourth rank, and was in charge of three thousand defenders.

However, this time, he was transferred to aid Caishiji because he was the least experienced among the four deputy envoys, and he was transferred out 2,000 troops, and now there are only more than 800 people left.

Shi Jin thought for a while and said, "Miao Deputy Envoy and the Commander have a feud."

The four deputy commanders of Jinling Guard, one is the commander's confidant, one is a relative of the governor, the remaining two are Shi Jin, and the other is the oldest deputy envoy Miao.

Deputy Envoy Miao was an old man from Jinling Wei. At that time, the commander of the Wei was short of his command, so he should have been promoted to Miao. As a result, the commander has now left the relationship and has gone directly to the position of Deputy Envoy Miao.

The robes of the past immediately turned against each other.

According to the principle, there were 5,000 reinforcements, and Shi Jin transferred two thousand to one thousand, and there was one deputy envoy left. However, the commander was not right. The subordinates of the governor who had relatives did not move. The confidant deputy envoy was the chief general of the reinforcements and led 1,000 troops from the headquarters, 2,000 troops from the Shi Jin and 2,000 troops from the deputy envoy Miao and 2,000 troops from the Taiping Prefecture.

If there are no problems with the thousand households outside the four cities, Jinling can start from Deputy Envoy Miao.

Even if Jia Yuan only brought one thousand household office, he could confront the other two thousand household offices for a few days, waiting for the main force of the Chuzhou Army to come.

However, even if Shi Jin persuaded Deputy Envoy Miao, the two men had less than 2,000 troops, and it was still a little difficult to face more than 6,000 defenders.

"Call for help from Master Huo Wu!"

Jia Yan, the oldest and most stable-minded, made his decision.

Even if you want to make contributions, there is no need to really make a bet, it is not that far.

Jinling City is destined to be difficult to defend, and what they do is nothing more than a matter of great merit.

The credit for seizing the city is icing on the cake and increasing qualifications, so there is no need to bet on your life.

Jia Yuan and Shi Jin thought about the pros and cons for a long time and agreed to Jia Yan's proposal.

...

On the evening of September 23, Huo Wu, who was already in Dasheng Pass, received a letter of help from Jinling.

Huo Wu immediately asked Dutong Yu to come over and speak.

"Tomorrow, General Feng and I will go to Jinling by land. We will also ask General Yu to lead a warship to capture Jinling Water Pass. We will advance along the water and land to take down Jinling!"

Yu Dutong had no objection.

The main force of the Jinling Navy was destroyed. Now there are less than a thousand people in the Jinling Water Pass, but they take advantage of the convenience of geographical advantages.

With the war in Caishiji in front, Yu Dutong had the confidence to take down Jinling Water Pass.

Needless to say, the most powerful cannon on the Jinling Water Pass must be just like Caishiji, and it is useless.

If the Jinling Navy had gunpowder reserves, it would not have been shot in Caishiji.

"Don't worry, Master Fifth, I will do my best to win the water gate!"

"Save some more ships in Jiangpu. After winning the pass, take Xiaobao's men to Jinling!"
Chapter completed!
