The impact of this nonsensical farce in Xinyangzhou is huge and the consequences are also tragic.

Li Dingguo, who was surrounding Ruyang City with Liao Zhongping, was forming a three-sided siege against the left camp of Liao Zhonghan, suddenly heard the news and became stiff and didn't even have a trace of anger.

Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon. However, the will of heaven is hard to resist, and it is not a crime of war!

Liao Zhongping and Chi Erhan, who rushed over after hearing the news, urged Li Dingguo to move eastward and not to get entangled with the enemy, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable once the Wu Sangui cavalry seized the back road of the mall.

However, Li Dingguo refused to agree, and he decided to lead his army back to the mall, vowing to save Emperor Yongli.

Liao Zhongping and Chi Erhan had no choice but to report to Wu Zheng while leading their troops to retreat east.

Liao Zhongping retreated to Luzhou Prefecture and met with Xia Wanchun and Jianyang Guard, while Chi Erhan led his troops to retreat to Yingchuan, Fengyang Prefecture.

This may be the only way to go. Luzhou, Fengyang and the mall are mutually supportive. If there is an accident in the mall, it can also leave a direction for Li Dingguo to retreat.

Three days later, Li Dingguo gathered 38,000 troops outside the west gate of the mall and vowed to attack the rebel Wu Sangui in Xinyang City.

This is almost a war with no chance of victory, but unfortunately, character determines everything.

....

Wu Zhengde, who had just returned to Jiangdu and was preparing to deploy city defense, was extremely angry.

It is not angering Wu Sangui's repetition or shamelessness, nor is it angry that Zhu Youlang's high-eyedness and low-poweredness and incompetence.

But he was angry at Li Dingguo's kidnapping!

Perhaps Li Dingguo did not have this idea in his mind, but his actions actually formed a moral kidnapping of Wu Zheng.

Thirty-eight thousand people wanted to rescue Yongli from Wu Sangui, who had tens of thousands of "Guanning Iron Cavalry" and countless infantry soldiers. This was simply a dream. Even if the Daxi Army fought desperately to win, Wu Sangui would just put the knife on Zhu Youlang's neck, and then would Li Dingguo retreat?

This is an unsolvable situation. Can Li Dingguo not think of this?

If you really can't imagine, Wu Zheng wouldn't be angry.

It is precisely because Li Dingguo has experienced many battles that he still insists on his own actions even though he thinks about the existence of this problem, which makes Wu Zheng angry.

Reinforcement is a bottomless pit, and it is a bottomless pit that cannot be won.

If you don’t support it, both public and private, everyone will accuse Wu Zheng of watching the destruction of the Western Army and not saving it when he sees death!

But Wu Zheng now has no troops to send for reinforcements.

Wu Zheng followed Xue Yue's "Tianlu Tactics" during the Anti-Japanese War and designed a furnace for the Qing army heading south in Huai'an and Yangzhou.

The natural danger of the Yangtze River and the Shilang Navy on the surface of the river were the bottom of the furnace, the 36,000 troops of the First Army were the east and west, and the Xin army of Shen Zhiyuan and the Hengyang Guard of Liu Fang were used as the cutting board for closing the mouth and cutting off the connection between the Qing army in the north and south.

Wu Zheng also planned to make Chi Erhan's troops move eastward to strengthen the fire wall on the west side, but now, can Chi Erhan's troops still move?

Even if Li Dingguo is not saved, once the Western Army is defeated by Ajige and Wu Sangui, the Qing army will follow the trend and advance eastward. Not only will Fengyang Prefecture be lost, but it will even cause the "furnace" laid by Wu Zheng to collapse.

Wu Zheng stayed all night and didn't close his eyes. He kept standing in front of the map, in a dilemma.

On the entire map, the Guangxinwei of the court's Right Camp and Li Guo.

It’s okay for Guangxinwei to appease Li Guo and satisfy his demands. However, before attacking Fengyang City, Guangxinwei suffered heavy losses. Even if he gave the recruits, there were only more than 10,000 people now.

Only the right camp of the imperial court has now reached 120,000 people after being expanded by the red lotus wall.

But is Zhu Lianbi willing?

If the Right Battalion did not participate in the war, even if the Guangxinwei, who had insufficient troops, would be useless and effort would be in vain.

But Wu Zheng had no hope of persuading Zhu Lianbi. Not to mention that Zhu Lianbi was suspected of arousing the public tide in the rear, and his intention was unclear. Even if this was not the case, Wu Zheng knew that Zhu Lianbi was more serious than his life, just like the only barrier for defending the throne. How could he be willing to transfer to Runing to fight a war of attrition?

Seeing that the sky began to brighten, Wu Zheng knew that he could not delay any longer.

Take a dead horse as a living horse, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, let’s talk about it when you meet Zhu Lianbi!

....

The capital of the river is not far from Yingtian Prefecture, only separated by a river.

But when we arrived, it was already early the next morning.

Wu Zheng called the king's order to open the city gate. As soon as he entered Yingtian Prefecture, Wu Zheng urgently summoned Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi went outside the palace gate to meet.

Then a group of three people entered Fengtian Gate.

Fortunately, Zhu Lianbi is a "diligent" king. She slept later than a dog and got up earlier than a chicken. From this point of view, except for Hongguang Zhu Yousong, the other emperors surnamed Zhu were still "duty".

This meeting was in Huagai Hall. When Wu Zheng arrived, Zhu Lianbi was wearing a crown and uniform in the Jinshen Hall.

"I'll pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Lianbi looked at Wu Zheng in surprise, "I was still talking about the war between King Wu and Jiangbei last night... I didn't expect that I saw King Wu early this morning... Thank you for your hard work... Someone will give me a seat!"

After Wu Zheng and the other two sat down, Zhu Lianbi said, "Thank you for your hard work in the King of Wu... It's just that the war ahead is urgent. The King of Wu suddenly came to Beijing... Could something big happened?"

Huang Daozhou beside him, Wang Yi also looked at Wu Zheng strangely, not understanding what was important, and the King of Wu needed to come to the capital to meet the emperor, and he had to pull him and the other two.

Wu Zheng looked at Zhu Lianbi, and Zhu Lianbi's expression was a little... panicked?

"Your Majesty, I am here today... because the situation in Henan has changed suddenly." Wu Zheng said directly, "Before, Wu Sangui saw that the general situation was not good for the Qing Dynasty, so he secretly surrendered to Yongli. This was a good thing, but Wu Sangui was cunning. Seeing that the Qing army was moving south at a large scale, the Daxi Army repeatedly attacked Ruyang but failed. He suddenly launched a detention of Yongli when he was ordered to protect the emperor...!"

Wu Zheng's words made Zhu Lianbi, Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi look at each other. They looked at each other and opened their mouths in surprise.

It seems that the news has not reached Yingtian Mansion yet. Thinking about it, Wu Zheng only got the news yesterday.

Huang Daozhou asked: "Is the news about King Wu accurate?"

Wu Zheng replied: "Chi Erhan leads his troops to cooperate with the Western Army to attack Ruyang. There should be no mistakes in his news."

At this time, Wu Zheng found in his eyes that Zhu Lian Wall and Huang Daozhou looked at each other, and there seemed to be a hint of joy?

On the contrary, Wang Yi said in horror: "In this way, the southwest half... is worrying!"

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "The King is right. Wu Sangui holds Yongli hostage. If he only serves as an official title, it would be fine. But if he turns against him at the last minute and falls in love with Ajige... The consequences are indeed worrying! Because of this, I must personally return to the capital to report to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to make an idea!"
