The situation on the battlefield in the east is gradually becoming clear.

Although Yue Le led the Qing army and the Northern Expedition Army confronted each other in the Yellow River without a line.

Although Yue Le was determined to drive the Northern Expedition Army back south of the Yellow River, Yue Le did not dare to take risks anymore because the Western Army was defeated in Fengyang Prefecture.

This gave the First Army, which was ordered to be driven from Jiangdu and the surrounding north, enough time to meet with Wusongwei and Chi Erhan's troops in the Lu region.

At the same time, as time goes by, combat readiness is becoming more and more perfect.

With the truth, everything is ready, but the east wind is missing.

Wu Zheng's hidden situation in Hangzhou Prefecture gradually calmed down, greatly ensuring combat readiness and logistics, and advancing smoothly as planned.

The people's attention was gradually attracted by the upcoming victory and devoted themselves to the war.

Wu Zheng's eyes began to shift westward, where there was the vastest land in China, and there was also a person who had to be eliminated... Wu Sangui!

....

Yunhua Pavilion.

The small building has a hexagonal eaves, three stories high, and is built beside the West Lake.

It belongs to part of West Lake Villa.

It was originally the eldest princess's mansion of Zhu Ma.

At this time, I stood on the top of Yunhua Pavilion, facing the lake breeze, and looking at the scales of West Lake.

There are all kinds of tastes in my heart.

The carved railings and jade bricks should still be there, but the red faces are changed.

The beauty has passed away, and the deceased cannot be pursued!

Song An whispered to report behind Wu Zheng: "The news from Ruzhou Prefecture that the King of Jin has taken office as the throne of the Yongli Dynasty."

Wu Zheng nodded slightly. This is the meaning of the title. Yongli Dynasty is far away in Yunnan and Guizhou. Even if he declared the blood of Emperor Yongli to the public, it would be beyond the reach.

On the contrary, countless people will cause unpredictable chaos because of their hopes.

Only when Li Dingguo took over the position of supervising the country could he quickly unite all forces in the Yongli Dynasty. After all, before the King of Jin, his real power was equivalent to a supervising country without crown.

Therefore, taking over as the state supervisor is not abrupt.

"Just..." Song An wanted to speak but stopped.

Wu Zheng sighed softly and turned his head, "Xiao An, the friendship between you and me is so shallow that you dare not say anything?"

Song An knelt down and cried softly, "It was my poor work, which caused the master... and I had an unpragmatic thought that I gave Chen Zhe an opportunity to take advantage of...!"

Wu Zheng stretched out his hand and pulled Song An up, "After so many years, I still kneel down at any time?"

"It's not your fault." Wu Zheng said in harmony, "As a person, there will always be some greed in his heart, and this greed will continue to increase with his status... But thinking in his heart is one thing, doing it is another... It is said that a gentleman does not care about his mind, and there is no saint in the world. Your young master always has this kind of mind... You, the fault is that he doesn't believe in your young master too much... and he ran to my father to cry... I don't know, Master?"

Song An muttered with a low face: "I... am I afraid that the young master will misunderstand..."

"What about now?"

"Now..." Song An raised his head and looked at Wu Zheng with clear eyes, "It's all... over!"

"Okay." Wu Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "Cheer up, we still have big things to do... Let's talk about it, what makes you hesitate?"

Song An replied: "Yes... Logically speaking, after the King of Jin led his army to Ruzhou Prefecture and conquered Luoyang, he should march westward."

Wu Zheng said "hum", "Although the Qing court has shrunk its troops eastward in recent years, a large number of scattered troops remained in the northwest direction... The King of Jin is here to clear out the remaining enemies... What, is there anything wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong..." Song An thought, "It's just that the army of King Jin stayed in Luoyang for a long time... it's a bit too long, and I feel like I don't want to move west..."

Wu Zheng heard this and looked at Song An in confusion, "You are not in Luoyang, and you know what King Jin is thinking... Tell me, did Li Guo send someone to deliver a letter to you?"

Song An hurriedly said, "Duke Li has no conclusive evidence, he just doubted it... He did not report to the prince. He was just afraid of any mistakes, so he sent me a letter, hoping that Changlin Wei could detect what happened in Luoyang, so that the King of Jin was stranded for many days without taking action?"

Wu Zheng heard this and his heart suddenly jumped and asked, "Where is Li Guo now?"

"Li Li Wancai has led his army to the vicinity of Xingyang... It is only two days away from Luoyang."

Wu Zheng nodded and was silent for a while, "How long has the King of Jin been stranded in Luoyang...?"

"If we count as the vanguard of the Great Western Army, it has been ten days."

Ten days?

This has indeed been a bit long. According to the discussions between Wu Zheng and Li Dingguo before, Li Dingguo should have led his army westward long ago, and at this time the vanguard should have reached the front line of Shanzhou.

Seeing Wu Zheng silent, Song An whispered: "Can it be... something went wrong in the army, or is it because Yongli Dynasty had objections to the King of Jin going westward?"

Wu Zheng shook his head slightly, "There should be no problem with the Yongli Dynasty... It is thousands of miles away, how can it control the King of Jin? The King of Jin was already in power when Emperor Yongli was alive... It would not be! Besides, the food and salary for the Daxi Army to advance westward are all provided by our court, and the Yongli Dynasty cannot delay the Daxi Army to advance westward!"

"Then... is there really something wrong with the army?" Song An was a little anxious. "I don't think the relationship between the King of Jin and the Young Master will be ruined because of something else..."

Wu Zheng's heart suddenly jumped. This time he thought of something and shouted anxiously: "Oops!"

Song An asked blankly: "What did the young master think of?"

Wu Zheng did not answer the question, "Would there be any abnormal movements in the newly affiliated Wu Sangui's troops?"

Song An also became anxious at this time, ".........I have to go back and check this matter!"

"Go quickly!" Wu Zheng was really anxious, "No, I'll go back with you!"

....

Back to the building.

Sure enough, news has been sent.

The former Wu Sangui's troops, who originally marched with the Daxi Army, were stranded in Dengfeng after passing Ruzhou.

As for Luoyang, Dengfeng is in the southwest, which is exactly the opposite of the destination Li Dingguo is going to.

Wu Zheng vaguely guessed that there was a trace of unusualness.

"Xiao An, you immediately send a message to Li Guo, lead Guangxinwei to Yanshi, and then go to see the King of Jin in person... Remember, you must meet the King of Jin himself!"

"yes!"

....

In Luoyang City, the ancient capital that was once prosperous seemed to be withered at this time.

During the past ten years, wars continued in Luoyang City. First, Daxi and Dashun Army rebelled, then Ming army suppressed the rebellion. In the end, the Tatar soldiers robbed another time.

It can be said that the king's flag is often changed to the top of the city wall!

Years of war have led to the destruction of the city and sparsely populated areas.

What's even more unbearable is the government office that should have been the most solemn, and it was also dilapidated and miserable at this time.

However, this destruction was not a crime committed by the Tartars. It was Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion back then. Any official and royal family were killed.
