There is only the last afterglow of the sun, and the mixture of yellow and red makes Jiujiang City even more eye-catching.
He Tengjiao witnessed all this and was extremely shocked: "Mr. Lu, this Qin army actually treats us as nothing."
"I can tell." Lu Daqi sighed and said, "We are not taken seriously at all."
"Where did he get the red cannon?" He Tengjiao said angrily: "Even Nanjing doesn't have one, how can he, the King of Hanyang, have one?"
"Governor He, let's think about how to deal with the aftermath?"
Lu Daqi shook his head and couldn't help but feel sad.
Under the watchful eye of the imperial court, the Qin army brazenly attacked Jiujiang, which dealt a heavy blow to Nanjing's authority.
"Aftermath?"
He Tengjiao was extremely angry, but he had no choice but to suppress it, and said in a deep voice: "When someone comes, send people to the Qin army, and say that the imperial envoy has been summoned."
Soon, the personal guards came back and reported: "The Qin army responded that they were suppressing bandits and had no time to care."
"Presumptuous, so brave!"
He Tengjiao was really angry.
Not even Zuo Liangyu or the four towns in Jiangbei, no one is more arrogant than him.
"Governor He, you don't want to join the scene, do you?"
Lu Daqi hurriedly persuaded: "Let's not say that the Qin army has superior strength. Let's just say that we win. But if we lose, it will be really shameless."
"We must not bet on this eventuality."
"But, I really can't swallow this breath!"
He Tengjiao's face turned red and his beard was trembling.
This is really rubbing his face as the governor of Huguang on the ground.
"The imperial court is the most important thing!"
Lu Daqi thought to himself, how is your face as important as the court's face?
It would be ridiculous to join the melee among the warlords below, get sidetracked and lose the fight.
Taking a deep breath, He Tengjiao calmed down, his eyes widened, and he turned around and asked, "Do you have any advice, Mr. Lu?"
"At this point, the most important thing is to save Zuo Liangyu's life. After all, he is the Prince Shaobao of Ningnan, the Marquis of Ningnan conferred by the imperial court."
Lu Daqi said in a low voice: "As for Jiujiang City, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to come back."
Of course He Tengjiao understood what Lu Daqi meant.
As long as Zuo Liangyu is in the hands of the court, he can make some maneuvers to cover up the fighting between the two armies and cover up the internal strife.
Then he casually said that Zuo Liangyu was seriously ill and had to retire, so the court ordered the Qin army to station in Jiujiang.
The court is just fooling around.
The people below are fooling the people above, and the people above are fooling the people. Who can know the truth unless they witness it with their own eyes?
However, after witnessing the power of the Qin army, He Tengjiao finally understood that he really couldn't deal with it.
"This Jiujiang City cannot be completely controlled by the Qin army!" He Tengjiao said righteously.
"So, what does the governor mean?" Lu Daqi asked jokingly.
"I want to stay in Jiujiang and deal with the Qin army!"
He Tengjiao's words were serious and sincere.
As the name suggests, I just follow the good deeds and don't plan to go to Huguang to avoid embarrassment.
Lu Daqi stroked his beard and sighed: "This is very appropriate."
As long as he is in Jiujiang City, he can be regarded as guarding the gate of Jiangxi, and he can also be regarded as an account to the imperial court.
It is not intended to irritate the King of Hanyang, so as not to do anything that would cause pain to relatives and pleasure to enemies.
The next day, after taking full control of Jiujiang City, You Shiwei respectfully met with the imperial envoy, He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang.
And bring a special gift - Zuo Liangyu.
"General Zuo was temporarily deceived by a traitor and did inappropriate things. Now he has completely repented. This is a blessing to the court and the world."
You Shiwei talked eloquently about the purpose of the war, saying that it was to eliminate the traitors, rectify the source, and save General Zuo.
Even Zuo Liangyu couldn't stand this nonsense anymore. He puffed his beard and glared: "General You, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Don't humiliate him too much."
"Hahaha!"
Only then did You Shiwei laugh, cupped his hands and said to He Tengjiao, who had a gloomy face:
"Governor, now that the poison has been eliminated, our army has finally achieved its long-cherished wish."
As he spoke, he said softly: "Don't worry, General Zuo. Your son, Zuo Menggeng, has been released and will be reunited with you soon. The Zuo family can be regarded as having no heirs."
After Ren Youqi's performance, He Tengjiao suppressed his anger and said:
"Now that your long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, your army should withdraw from Jiujiang City. After all, this is the gateway to Jiangxi."
You Shiwei was immediately choked by his own words, but he forced himself to argue: "What I obey is the military order of King Hanyang, and Jiujiang City cannot give in."
"Please also ask the governor to tell His Highness the King of Hanyang. If the military order is issued, I promise to withdraw the troops."
"You——" He Tengjiao was not breathless, he threw up his sleeves regardless of dignity and said: "In this case, I won't leave Jiujiang City either."
Now, it was You Shiwei's turn to be helpless.
After all, the Hanyang Palace did not want to completely oppose the Nanjing court, so it froze for a while.
Jiujiang City was helplessly divided into two, with each side occupying half.
He Tengjiao and his pacesetters now have a place to live.
However, for the Nanjing court, the war in Jiujiang was a major political event and had to be cautious.
Especially when the Qin army won and Zuozhen was defeated, public opinion in Nanjing was completely overturned.
The color is fierce, the heart is full of tears, fear, panic...
To name a few.
Through the "Tongshun Case" and the "Yingli King Lu Case", Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang, Liu Zongzhou, Zhang Shenyan, Shi Kefa and others were squeezed out of the court, and Ma Shiying could be said to have monopolized power.
When he suddenly heard that Zuo Liangyu was defeated and He Tengjiao hesitated, Ma Shiying was shocked.
He quickly found Ruan Dacheng to discuss countermeasures.
Ruan Dacheng did not panic. He hurriedly said: "The four towns in Jiangbei have a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses. Nanjing is so stable. Once the King of Hanyang comes east, it will only fall into siege."
"However, in my opinion, its intention is not to focus on Nanjing, but to knock on the mountains and shake the tigers."
"You mean, the Lord of King Yu?"
Ma Shiying calmed down and his brain became much more flexible.
"more than!"
Ruan Dacheng said helplessly: "There are dozens of general soldiers who have been reported to join the army, and we have to recognize them all."
"I'm afraid it won't work."
Ma Shiying frowned and said: "If the four towns in Jiangbei imitate this, how can the imperial court be stable?"
"The four towns are constraining each other, so it doesn't matter."
Ruan Dacheng shook his head and said: "The most important thing now is to appease King Hanyang. He has a neighbor who is a trespasser, so he has to reward him."
"The delay has been long enough. You know, there are also King Rui and King Qin beside him!"
This hit Ma Shiying's weakness. The one he relied on for support was Emperor Hongguang. Once this card failed, he would be bitten to pieces by the Donglin Party.
"In addition, Tengjiao is the governor of Jiangxi, Anqing and other places. He must be entrenched in Jiujiang and Anqing. Zhu Yixi's army must not be allowed to cross the Leichi."
Ma Shiying personally deployed: "In addition, Donglin Party members must be involved in such matters and jointly shoulder the responsibility."
"good--"
Ruan Dacheng then smiled and said: "We must not neglect this Prince Yu of Huguang any more."
