Wang Shouren was able to gather the morale of his subordinates and convince many generals of the army not because of his moral articles, but because of his tyrannical cultivation.
The military has always respected the strong. If Wang Shouren was just a weak scholar, even if he could win the recognition of many generals with his talent, he would never be able to win over the military so quickly.
Chu Yi took a step forward, helped Wang Shouren up, and said with a smile: "Master Wang killed the rebels, attacked Nanchang, captured the rebel nest, broke through Jiujiang, and went to Anqing. Each and every one of these is shocking to the sky."
What a great achievement, Your Majesty will certainly reward you generously!"
Wang Shouren clasped his fists and said: "This is just the duty of a low-ranking official and a minister. How dare you take such meritorious service? Moreover, these meritorious deeds were all performed by the soldiers of the three armies. If your Majesty wants to increase the reward, please also reward the soldiers of the three armies!"
When the dozens of generals standing behind Wang Shouren heard what Wang Shouren said, they all showed admiration and conviction.
They had seen too many superior officers in the army who were greedy for the merits of their subordinates, but this was really the first time for them to see such a superior officer like Wang Shouren who wanted to share the merits of his subordinates with his own subordinates.
In addition, Wang Shouren previously led them to win consecutive battles and won their hearts with his strong strength. It can be said that these generals are more convinced of Wang Shouren now.
Chu Yi saw the reactions of the generals behind Wang Shouren in his eyes, smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty naturally has clear rewards and punishments. Your Majesty will not miss any of the merits of the officers and soldiers, and you, Wang Shouren, are also average."
"The great governor is wise, long live your majesty..."
All the soldiers brought by Wang Shouren cheered in unison.
Including the 20,000 troops brought by Wang Shouren, the total number of troops on both sides was almost 40,000. It was a dark place, but the momentum was much greater than before.
Outside the city, Wang Shouren's troops joined Chu Yi's army. Naturally, such a big movement could not be hidden from everyone in Nanjing.
King Ning learned that Wang Shouren had captured Jiujiang, conquered Anqing, and joined forces with Chu Yi. He was so popular that he killed several servants with his stick, and the entire harem was shrouded in an atmosphere of terror and tension.
In the past few days, Prince Ning's temperament had become somewhat violent and suspicious. He strangled two of Xinna's concubines to death.
Even among the courtiers, several people were ordered by King Ning to confiscate their homes and exterminate their families. It can be said that not only the harem, but also the entire small court of King Ning was shrouded in an atmosphere of terror.
In the main hall, King Ning, whose eyes were flashing with a ferocious look, looked at the dozens of civil and military ministers below and couldn't help roaring: "Speak, you are talking! Tell me, how can I destroy Chu Yi?"
There is Wang Shouren!"
As he spoke, Prince Ning's eyes fell on Yang Tinghe and said: "Yang Aiqing, you have always been resourceful. Tell me, how can I destroy Chu Yi and Wang Shouren?"
Yang Tinghe stroked his beard, but when facing King Ning, he showed no fear and said: "Your Majesty, as I see it, before the imperial reinforcements arrive, Your Majesty will personally lead a hundred thousand troops out of the city and attack with a thunderous force.
If Chu Yi and others win, all of Jiangnan will belong to your Majesty..."
Liu Yangzheng heard this and immediately said loudly: "It's ridiculous, it's simply ridiculous. Mr. Yang, please tell me, what if His Majesty fails in this move?"
Yang Tinghe glanced at Liu Yangzheng lightly and said: "Even if you are defeated, we can protect your majesty and escape to Suzhou and Hangzhou. With the support of many gentry and powerful people in the south of the Yangtze River, your majesty may have a chance to make a comeback!"
Li Shishi frowned and said, "Master Yang is speaking lightly. I'm afraid that by that time, Your Majesty will only become a puppet king in the hands of those people!"
Yang Tinghe ignored Li Shishi and others, and just said to Prince Ning: "Your Majesty, this is what I have said. It is up to Your Majesty to make your decision!"
A look of fear appeared on Prince Ning's face. If he really had such courage, he would have listened to Yang Tinghe's words and left the city to fight long ago.
At that time, there were only less than 20,000 troops under Chu Yi's command outside the city. Even so, King Ning did not dare to take the gamble, for fear that if he lost the bet, he would lose everything.
Now that Wang Shouren has led a large army to join Chu Yi, the number of people in the imperial court has reached 40,000. It would be strange if King Ning dared to fight with him.
Since Yang Tinghe's suggestion made Prince Ning unable to choose, he naturally looked at Liu Yangzheng and others, his eyes full of expectation.
Liu Yangzheng said: "Your Majesty, we are sitting in the city of Nanjing. The city is high and strong. We have a hundred thousand troops in hand. There is a lot of food and grass in the city. It will not be a problem even if we hold on for half a year. We only need to wait for many dignitaries and gentry from all over the Yangtze River to recruit volunteers.
, by then, the siege of Nanjing City will naturally be solved!"
The other officials were silent, either fighting out of the city or holding on to the city. There was no other choice at all.
Since King Ning was not willing to go out of the city as Yang Tinghe said, the only way was to defend the city.
Seeing the reaction of everyone in his eyes, King Ning showed a bit of disappointment. He sighed and waved his hands and said: "That's all, just as Liu Qing's family said, generals please urge the army in the city to defend carefully.
Don't let the eunuchs break the city."
"I will obey your Majesty's orders!"
When Prince Ning returned to the harem, he naturally took advantage of wine to drown his sorrows. The city of Nanjing was filled with gloom and gloom.
But outside the city, in front of the Qilin Gate, there was a happy scene among the continuous military camps.
Chu Yi personally hosted a banquet for Wang Shouren and other generals, which was also a kind of praise for Wang Shouren and other generals. During the banquet, all the generals exchanged cups, ate large pieces of meat, and drank heavily. It was a great time.
It can be said that if King Ning really ordered the entire army to rush out of the city at this time, it would really have a huge impact on the imperial troops.
However, Chu Yi and Wang Shouren are both proficient in the art of war, so they will not make mistakes. Although he made a special exception to hold a banquet in the army, Chu Yi did not forget to arrange for Sun Qiu to lead an army to monitor the city of Nanjing.
As long as there is any abnormality, I guarantee that they can respond in time.
It's not that Chu Yi looks down on King Ning, Chu Yi really doesn't think that King Ning has the courage to go out of the city to fight.
Yue Buqun sat in the corner, somewhat silent. That day he begged Chu Yi and got Chu Yi's permission, allowing him to protect twenty Huashan disciples.
But after Yue Buqun went to see Linghu Chong, Chu Yi ordered someone to tell him that Linghu Chong's life and death would be left to him. If he was willing, even Linghu Chong could be pardoned from the death penalty.
While Yue Buqun burst into tears of gratitude, he became much silent.
Wang Shouren was definitely the toast of everyone in the tent. After all, Wang Shouren had made great achievements. Everyone present was a soldier. Naturally, they knew that Wang Shouren was able to hold on to Ji'an County even when almost half of the huge Jiangxi land was lost.
They also gathered reinforcements from all directions, killed several of King Ning's troops, recaptured Nanchang City, and even went to Jiujiang, Anqing and other important towns.
Such battles and consecutive victories almost reversed the war situation in the entire Jiangxi area with one person. It can be said that now the entire Jiangxi area has returned to the control of the imperial court with Nanchang City, Jiujiang and other places, and other places have also returned to the imperial court.
Little by little, the governor sent troops to take it back.
It is conceivable that Wang Shouren naturally became the target of everyone's toast, and Wang Shouren did not refuse the toasts of the generals.
With an innate level of cultivation, as long as Wang Shouren circulates his inner breath a little, he really can't get drunk with just water or wine.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Yue Buqun quietly left the table. Feeling a bit drunk, Yue Buqun carried a jar of wine to the tent where Linghu Chong was imprisoned.
Linghu Chong, who had his acupuncture points sealed, was just like an ordinary person. Any soldier could spot Linghu Chong.
The soldiers guarding Linghu Chong did not show any surprise when they saw Yue Buqun. They obviously knew Yue Buqun's identity.
"Lord Yue!"
Yue Buqun nodded slightly towards the soldier and walked into the tent.
They saw Linghu Chong sitting there with a slightly pale face. He looked a little decadent. He seemed to have heard some noise and raised his head to look at Yue Buqun.
Yue Buqun saw Linghu Chong's expression in his eyes and sighed softly in his heart. He treated Linghu Chong as his own son and never thought that the two of them would end up in this situation.
Sitting cross-legged, Yue Buqun placed the jar of fine wine in front of Linghu Chong and said, "Chong'er, this is the fine wine that Master brought for you. You like fine wine the most in your life, so why not give it a try!"
Linghu Chong's eyes fell on the wine jar. At this moment, Yue Buqun opened the wine jar and filled two bowls of wine. The aroma of wine overflowed and hit his nostrils.
Yue Buqun looked at Linghu Chong and said, "Come on, master and apprentice have never sat together and drank like this before. Today, I will accompany you to taste this fine wine."
Linghu Chong's heart trembled. He looked at Yue Buqun, slowly picked up the drink, drank it down and said, "Master, this disciple is unfilial..."
Yue Buqun poured the wine on and said, "Today you and I, master and disciple, don't talk about this, just drink!"
The two of them drank bowl after bowl. The jar of wine weighed several kilograms. Even though Linghu Chong had a good drinking capacity, it was impossible for him to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Besides, his cultivation level was sealed, so his resistance was natural.
It is much weaker.
Gradually, Linghu Chong became a little drunk, his eyes became blurred, he mumbled about drinking, and giggled a few times from time to time, looking as if he was drunk.
Yue Buqun looked at Linghu Chong and slowly put down the bowl in his hand, with infinite pity and intolerance in his eyes. In his mind, he recalled the scene where Chu Yi's servant sent him a message.
Sitting there, Yue Buqun was a little distracted, with a hint of hesitation and struggle in his eyes. With a pop, Linghu Chong was seen lying there, muttering to himself.
When Yue Buqun came back to his senses, a look of determination flashed in Yue Buqun's eyes. He looked at Linghu Chong, slowly raised his hand and gently placed it on Linghu Chong's head. He closed his eyes and two tears slowly rolled down: "Chong'er, for Huashan Mountain
,Don’t blame me as a teacher…”
[Ten thousand words are sent to you. When you see this, what do you mean? In the new year, why don’t you give me some monthly votes to support me?]
