Zuo Liangyu was furious: "Why should I help this boy Zhu Yixi? I am a marquis, but this boy dares to make him king."
"Commander Zuo, our army is on the alert and is constantly building ships. We can reach Jiujiang in a few days by going downstream."
The lobbyist from Xiangyang calmly threatened: "If you are really confused, our two armies can fight again."
"Of course, when the time comes, I don't know if you can still be strong and have children!"
"what do you mean?"
Zuo Liangyu's eyes were shocked and he was furious: "You are using hostages to threaten me."
"Threats are out of the question, I'm just persuading, persuading."
Li Ruogu was locked with murderous aura and felt like he was facing a fierce tiger, but he suppressed his palpitations and said forcefully:
"At that time, what if you take Huguang? If you have no heirs, you are not allowed to make wedding clothes for others? The Zuo family will be cut off."
"Hmph!" Zuo Liangyu grabbed the wooden chair hard, with his veins exposed, and stared at the person in front of him for a long time before saying:
"Tell Zhu Yixi that if my son is injured at all, I will have to settle the score with him even if I risk my life."
"Thank you, General Zuo."
Li Ruogu smiled slightly and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "My lord did not let you go through all the trouble in vain. He specially sent you ten thousand taels of silver as a reward."
After speaking, he slowly retreated.
Zuo Liangyu felt deep depression in his chest. He raised his head and murmured: "I never thought that in my heroic life, Zuo Liangyu, I would be held hostage by a child. It's a shame, a shame -"
Immediately, one hundred thousand Zuojun warships gathered on the river to intimidate Nanjing.
Ma Shiying and others were furious and frightened.
Qian Qianyi was even more furious: "Is Zuo Liangyu a dog? He turned towards Zhu Yixi."
Ma Shiying sighed: "We still underestimated him, that's all. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, what does a prince mean? It doesn't count as violating the ancestral system."
Shi Kefa also nodded slightly. The situation was pressing and he had to bow his head.
The literati had dominated the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years. For the first time, they were threatened by warriors, and they felt extremely uncomfortable.
…
At this time, 90% of Zhu Yixi's energy was focused on Nanyang.
After deciding to go north and then south, Zhu Yixi asked Li Jizu and You Shiwei of Chengtian Prefecture to threaten and test Jingzhou. If Zhang Xianzhong's Western Army did not resist enough, he would fully occupy Jingzhou.
As long as Jingzhou is owned, the lower half of Huguang, that is, Hunan, will be captured by Zhu Yixi and border on Lingnan.
Jingzhou's location is extremely important.
Of course, Jingzhou only represents expansion, while Nanyang protects the fruits of victory.
So he led 30,000 troops, including new soldiers, Yunyang soldiers, firearms camps, and personal soldiers camps, each numbering 10,000, and headed north in a mighty manner.
Along the way, the momentum was overwhelming.
Xinye, Dengzhou and Tangxian, it took five days to reach Nanyang.
On Wolonggang, Zhu Yixi looked up at Zhuge Lu and sighed with emotion: "Zhuge Wolong has passed away for thousands of years, but he never thought that his reputation would still be there and he would be widely praised."
"General Bai, do you know why?"
On the side, Bai Wang's face turned red as he stared at Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage, and then looked angrily at the young commander-in-chief in front of him:
"I didn't know that Zhuge Liang would be famous throughout the ages, but General Zhu's shamelessness may also be famous throughout the ages."
As he said this, Bai Wang felt so aggrieved that he wanted to shed tears.
After the Battle of Xiangyang, he was forced to take prisoner.
If he refuses to surrender, he will be offered good food and drink.
Unexpectedly, before long, he would be taken north and forced to accompany the army.
Whenever a city is visited, it will be treated like a flag and placed in the most conspicuous place so that the officers and soldiers guarding the city can clearly see it.
So, when the invading troops guarding the city saw that even Bai Wang had surrendered, they instantly lost their will to fight and surrendered to the city.
He was originally a loyal minister, but he was forced to become a second minister, which is really hateful.
"General Bai is unwilling to surrender, so Zhu has no other choice."
Zhu Yixi pretended to be helpless and said: "The next step is Nanyang City, and we will have to borrow the general's help then."
Bai Wang fell silent.
During this period of time, the yellow mud fell off the crotch, and it was either feces or feces.
For a long time, he looked at Zhu Yixi's young face and couldn't help but said: "I am willing to surrender to the army."
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Yixi laughed and praised: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. General Bai came to our country in Ming Dynasty. He made the right choice."
"Although Li Zicheng is powerful now, he has no heirs. When the time comes, the huge invading army will only collapse. This is a wise move on your part."
Bai Wang smiled bitterly and said: "General Zhu is very powerful. He defeated many with less. He defeated Zuo Liangyu and defeated him. I am convinced."
As he said that, he immediately entered the state: "Nanyang Defense Envoy Wu Dayan, I also know that the general is willing to enter the city and persuade him to surrender."
"Um!"
Zhu Yixi thought about Nanyang City's wall which was less than three feet tall, and said decisively: "Okay, if we capture this city, the general will have made a great contribution."
Bai Wang was surprised that he didn't hesitate. How much trust does this have?
After receiving the order, Bai Wang rode into Nanyang alone.
Zhu Yixi stood in the distance, watching him enter.
"Chief Soldier, what if he never comes back?"
Seeing this, Hui Dengxiang couldn't help but ask.
Zhu Yixi chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter."
"If Nanyang City surrenders, I will have a strong general. If we don't surrender, we can take it in three to five days. I am still willing to give up this little time."
Everyone was stunned.
After waiting for nearly two hours, Nanyang City Gate opened wide.
Bai Wang took the lead, followed by someone who also looked like a fierce general. It looked like it was Wu Dayan.
"It's so gratifying that General Wu has turned from darkness to light."
Zhu Yixi greeted him with a happy smile.
"It is a great crime to try to resist Master Wang." Wu Dayan lowered his head and said with a look of shame.
Seeing that he was well aware of current affairs, Zhu Yixi nodded. He was also a useful talent.
Immediately, the army entered the city.
Once Nanyang City is reached, in a sense, Nanyang Mansion has been completely captured.
Then everything fell into place.
Zhu Yixi sent Prime Minister Hui Deng to occupy Wuguan, and he personally led the army to the north again to occupy Yuzhou, which was Fangcheng.
Fangcheng Xia Dao Fangcheng.
Here, adjacent to Fangcheng Mountain, there are several gaps, which are the main roads leading to the Central Plains of Luoyang.
It is not accurate to say that it is a mountain road. The distance between them is tens of miles.
"This is it."
Zhu Yixi said in a deep voice: "You can't become fat with just one bite. Our military strength is limited, so we can only march here."
As a result, the tens of thousands of captured invaders were put to use to build fortresses.
All gaps are not missed. A rough estimate is that at least ten bastions must be built to completely block them.
In order to complete the work in a short time, Zhu Yixi sent troops to clear out the bandits in Nanyang Prefecture and captured them to build the city.
At the critical moment, the new recruits followed suit.
Zhu Yixi was stationed in Fangcheng, and he had the intention of never returning if the fortress failed.
At this moment, a letter finally came from Xiangyang.
"What? King Hanyang?"
Zhu Yixi was surprised but also regretful, but unfortunately she was not the one-word king.
