Shi Kefa is really in chaos.

In addition to Huai'an, Yangzhou is the key to "guarding the river and must guarding the Huai River", but the loss of Huai and Yang will completely interrupt the grain transportation, which is a decisive victory for Beijing thousands of miles away.

If the Henan trespassers go south at this time, the deterioration of Huaiyang will be a foregone conclusion. At that time, the trespassers drink horses and the Yangtze River will be used to resist the trespassers!

In addition, there was a support and suppression of the capital Shi Dewei in Yangzhou City. Shi Kefa regarded this person as a son. Because he had no son, he wrote to his hometown lady in June last year to ask if he could recognize Shi Dewei as his adopted son and add him to his family genealogy.

The lady replied that she was not in a hurry to do this and she would like to see if she could add a child to her next year.

Shi Kefa then stopped, otherwise he would have recognized Shi Dewei as his son.

With several factors combined, Shi Kefa, who caused panic, caused a farce of "no more than a hundred miles of journey, but three tunes a day".

The garrison eunuch Han Zanzhou saw that Shi Kefa was so panicked, so he had to ask someone to urge Duke of Wei Xu Hongji. Duke of Wei was not in the mansion at this time, but went to Zhongshan to burn incense for his ancestor Xu Da, the prince of Zhongshan. When he received the news, he hurried back to the city, it was already night.

"Shi Gong is confused, why didn't Eunuch Han stop it!"

After hearing Han Zanzhou say that Shi Kefa sent three command arrows to the navy Zheng Hongkui during the day, Duke of Wei Xu Hongji was stunned. Such a ridiculous thing was unheard of by his Duke.

"I don't want Zuo Gongzhi's student to be so confused. He has done something under the cover of Hong Jingluo!"

With Xu Hongji, the benefactor of Yingcheng, Sun Tingxun, his ancestor Sun Yan, crossed the river with Emperor Taizu, and went to Yanshan to protect thousands of households. Chengzu raised an army to defend the crisis and asked Sun Yan to assist in the defense of Tongzhou. Later, he was named Yingcheng, but Chengzu took the title of title and placed it in Jiaozhi for personal murder. A few years later, he was renamed the marquis and placed it in Nandu. By the time Sun Tingxun was demoted to the third-class Count.

The reason why Sun Tingxun was also invited by Han Zanzhou was that he was the Admiral Caojiang.

Caojiang is called river defense. The navy along the Yangtze River, including Zheng Hongkui, is referred to by Sun Tingxun.

As for what Sun Tingxun said, Shi Kefa had done under Hong Chengchou's command, it was said that Shi Kefa served as a prosecutor in Xi'an Prefecture. At that time, Hong Chengchou was his immediate superior and wrote to the court to praise Shi Kefa.

During this period, Nan didn't know that Hong Chengchou had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty last year, and he said that he had died in his country.

Because the Ming Dynasty's reporting system outside the pass was completely gone, and although Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Hong Tai was very kind to him on the surface, but in fact he never relaxed his precautions, so he was imprisoned at home and was not allowed to go in and out at will. He did not give any official positions except for occasionally asking him for consultation. Therefore, Hong Chengchou was extremely "low-key" after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty always thought that Hong Chengchou had died for his country.

It is said that Emperor Chongzhen may have learned from some channels that Hong Chengchou had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but it was too shameful for this matter, and the impact of Hong's surrender to the Qing Dynasty was too great. Chongzhen had to suppress the matter and not let it leak it, and he did not implicate Hong's family.

"It's time for this, it's better for the Duke to make a lot of claims."

Han Zanzhou also saw that Shi Kefa had no strategy, so he hoped that Xu Hongji would take charge of the overall situation. Although he was a garrison in Nanjing, he had only been in office for several months. Although he had "infiltration" in Nanjing's military affairs, he was still unable to make the generals obey the orders, so he could only ask the Princess of Wei to take charge of the overall situation.

Xu Hongji knew the great relationship, and now he searched for Shi Kefa to discuss the chaos of the Huaiyang thief.

The four of them discussed in the house for a long time and finally decided to immediately dispatch troops to cross the river to support Yangzhou.

In terms of reinforcements, the three major battalions of the Nandu, which was responsible for the external garrison, could draw 5,000 officers and soldiers. In addition, Shi Kefa, in the name of the Minister of War of Nanjing, wrote a letter to Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, to draw 4,000 from his restrained troops to help Yangzhou. In addition, the troops that could be used in the Nandu were Zhang Tianlu's troops stationed in Zhenjiang, and Zheng Hongkui's troops stationed in Guazhou.

But Shi Kefa and Xu Hongji argued about who was in charge of reinforcements.

Shi Kefa was led by Liu Zhaoji, the former general of Liaodong and the Admiral's Grand Seminary, while Duke of Wei wanted to be led by Zhang Tianlu.

Zhang Tianlu and his younger brother Zhang Tianfu initially joined the army as volunteers, serving as flag-plaque officers in the Shaanxi Governor Central Army, and later became a general in Lintao General Cao transformed into a sergeant general. They had been stationed in Guazhou two years ago, and were only renamed as deputy general of Zhenjiang last year.

Seeing that Shi Kefa and Duke of Wei were fighting endlessly, Han Zanzhou and Zhou hurriedly coordinated the reinforcements and divided the reinforcements into two routes, one route under the command of Liu Zhaoji, and the three major battalions and the internal and external garrisons of Caojiang, totaling more than 7,000 people.

Another route was commanded by Zhang Tianlu, deputy general of Zhenjiang. In addition to his headquarters, the troops drawn by Fengyang were controlled.

The two generals each led an army, and Zhang Tianlu's troops were directly transported by Zheng Hongkui's navy across the Yangtze River to support Yangzhou; Liu Zhao's troops passed through Pukou to Tianchang, and joined forces with Fengyang reinforcements from northwest Yangzhou to assist.

"Okay, that's it."

Duke Xu Hongji of Wei really didn't want to argue with Shi Kefa anymore, so he agreed to Han Zanzhou's proposal. When Shi Kefa thought that although the troops were divided into two groups, Liu Zhaoji could use this to control Fengyang's troops, and nodded immediately.

Let’s not talk about the brothers Zhang Tianlu of Zhenjiang, let’s talk about the three camps in the southern capital, which sent a total of 5,000 troops, but there were 510 horses and mules, 240 cavalrymen, 830 baggage coachmen, and more than 400 men with the army. The plan was to be equipped with 1,500 bird guns, 120 three-eyed guns, 30 tiger squat cannons, and more than 100 large pole guns.

In addition, there are dozens of vans, 470 pairs of bows and arrows, 206 large crossbows, 780 long spears, 780 long axes, and tens of thousands of rockets. In terms of armor, there are more than 100 iron armor, 900 cotton armor, and more than 500 paper armor.

It can be said that the soldiers are sharp, the men are strong and the horse is strong.

Such care was the result of the personal supervision of Duke Xu Hongji of Wei, and it was related to the safety of Nandu.

However, the three camps in Nandu took four days from receiving military orders to officially launching the platoon, and only set out from Zhonghua Gate on the ninth day of the Chinese New Year.

This is the result of the urgency of Wei State Xu Hongji personally taking charge of the three camps!

.............

Under Yizheng City, Lu Si asked someone to persuade Hu Shangyou, deputy general of Sichuan Dazhou, who was hiding in the city, stacked the news he had just received and put it in his arms, and said to Xie Jinsheng beside him: "Nandu has sent troops. It seems that we have to fight an anti-encirclement and suppression battle."

The news was sent back by Gao Wu, who secretly crossed the river a few days ago. The biggest threat to the Huai Army occupying Yangzhou was Nanjing and Zhenjiang opposite the river. Lu Si could not have sent people across the river to inquire about the news.

Gao Wu brought a team of elites with only nine people to disguise themselves across the river, one in Zhenjiang and the other to Nanjing. In addition to the disguise of vendors, Gao Wu and his team also brought thousands of taels of silver just to use these silver to open the way.

Nowadays, if you have money, you can buy ghost mills.

"What is the anti-encirclement and suppression?"

Xie Jinsheng didn't quite understand what Lu Si's brothers meant. Lu Si smiled and was about to tell the truth. Suddenly, someone came from the city and was taken to Lu Si.

"this..."

The people who came were quite nervous, "Do you dare to ask if your army is really a Dashun army?"
