The Linhuai army bombed the camp and collapsed, and Andong was attacked by thieves. The road department was not aware of life and death. The supply of food and supplies was instantly interrupted. The Ming army under Huai'an city was as chaotic as Zheng Biao, the governor of the Huai army, said.

"I don't want to suppress the thief, but it's really because Huaiyang's decay has been decided. It's meaningless for our troops to stay here again. We should go west and meet Zuo Shuai."

Jin Shenghuan reacted the most quickly. He didn't even say hello that day and directly drove the camp to Suzhou north without even calling. The way along the way was as Zheng Biao said.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, the Jin tribe arrived in Suzhou and secretly ordered the central army stationed in the city to loot the entire city. Suddenly, the sound of killing came. The sound of the sword ring sounded, and the sound of sadness rose.

The next day, the Shun Army outside the city learned that the Ming army had left. After entering the city, they found that the corpses were piled up in the city like messes, with more than 10,000 dead.

There were only a few hundred copper coins scattered on the ground in the prefecture treasury, and no one picked up the money. Fu Wentong, the governor of Suzhou, hanged himself on the beam, leaving behind a last-hand pen before his death, and scolded the soldiers as bad as thieves.

After reading Fu Wentong's final writing, Lu Bizhou, the deputy envoy of Dashun Henan, was sad and angry, and said to the left and right: "Everyone said that Dashun River thieves passed by like locusts passing through the border. Now the government army is doing more than locusts. How could the Ming Dynasty not perish?"

Later, he ordered the corpses in the city to burn outside the city, and the smell of charred corpses was accumulated and they did not dissipate for several days; the ashes of the burned corpses were like snow in three months.

The general of Huai'an, Zhang Pengyi, had no choice but to go. Jin Shenghuan had Suzhou to go, but he had nowhere to go. He wanted to retreat to Fengyang with the generals of Huaixi, but he was afraid that the military power would be taken away, so he finally had no choice but to retreat to Muyang.

Muyang was slaughtered by He Mingjun, a general of Jin Shenghuan, and now there are only a few hundred remaining citizens in the city. Zhang Pengyi has no food to eat in Muyang. There are many rumors in the army, and people's hearts are fluctuating. Three or four thousand people fled in the past few days.

Helplessly, Zhang Pengyi sent troops out of the countryside to find food, but was attacked by local regiments. Only then did he realize that Muyang was close to Fengshun.

The generals of Huaixi were also panicked when they learned that Andong had fallen. Shouzhou General Zhu Jiyi immediately retreated to Huaixi and listened to the further deployment of Governor Hou Ma Shiying.

Huang Degong thought the thief was unclear, so he made a decision. Because Andong was trapped in the thief's hands, the soldiers had no military food to eat, so he discussed with Zhu Ji and sent his subordinates to Ma Degong, and Tian Xiong, the central army, led his troops south to collect grain.

The so-called "grain harvest" means robbing grain and robbing grain from the people.

As early as last year, Huang Degong knew that Baoying in the south of Huai'an had been occupied by the thieves, so he sent Tian Xiong to lead his troops to attack Baoying.

After Tian Xiong led his troops to Baoying, he found that the thieves in the city were closely guarded and had no chance to take advantage of it. He circled the city and walked north.

After all, Huang Degong has some "quality" of the generals. He told the horse and Tian to only collect grain this time and do not kill people randomly.

But Tian Xiong privately said that the people did not rebel, but followed the thief. How could the thief be kind to the thief? Therefore, the two generals led their troops to Bao Ying and left Huang Degong's instructions behind. Wherever they passed, they were not just picking up grain, but burning them all, killing them, and robbing them. The two discussed that Ma was responsible for picking up grain, and Tian led hundreds of cavalry to monitor Bao Ying City to ensure that the thief soldiers in the city did not leave the city to attack the grain transport team of the second unit.

Lu Guangyuan, who was guarding Baoying, remembered what his uncle said, Baoying was the first gateway in the north of Yangzhou, and he must not make any mistakes. Therefore, when the Ming army approached the city, he ordered the city gate to be closed tightly, and strictly guarded and did not fight against them.

Seeing that the Huai Army in the city did not dare to leave the city, Tian Xiong knew that they were afraid of their cavalry, so he asked his subordinates to go to the city every day to provoke him, and he was inspired to go out of the city to fight, so he took Baoying City and plundered the wealth in the city.

Seeing that the Ming army was so arrogant, all of them were angry and shouted that they would go out of the city to chop off the soldiers and soldiers, but they were all stopped by Lu Guangyuan.

"You can curse them. If these bitches are raised, come and attack the city!"

Lu Guangyuan had a firm attitude and made up his mind not to leave the city. It didn't matter if he was scolded by him as a turtle.

Gao Qifeng, who was left in Baoying, who also supported the young governor not to fight, because although there were thousands of Huai Army in the city, there were cavalry under the city. The Huai Army had no way to restrain cavalry, and he was not sure of winning against the enemy when he left the city.

As a result, there were scenes of cursing each other in the city and outside the city every day for three consecutive days.

On that day, when the city was cursing fiercely, it suddenly became quiet. Lu Guangyuan, who was practicing calligraphy at the Minglou of the city gate, was surprised and asked what happened to Gu Xing beside him.

Gu Xing was a scholar who failed the provincial examinations in Baoying countryside. When he heard that the Dashun Huai Army had entered the city, all the former Ming officials were killed. He was extremely happy to say that his chance had come. After that, he took the initiative to surrender and said that the Ming Dynasty would not need him, and he would be a good job for Dashun.

Because Gu Xing was the first scholar to take the initiative to join the Huai Army, Lu Guangyuan was very happy. In addition, his subordinates also wanted to hire people, so he asked Gu Xing to be responsible for the civil affairs of the city and the army's food, grass and supplies.

Gu Xing came back shortly after he arrived at the city wall and hesitated and asked the young governor to go and see it himself.

"I want you to be funny. I'll tell you to see it, and you will ask me to see it in turn."

Guangyuan was puzzled and left Minglou and reached the city wall. He saw the soldiers on the city staring at the outside of the city with ugly faces. He couldn't help but be surprised. When he looked out of the battlements, the scene in front of him instantly changed his color.

It turned out that the Ming army had kidnapped hundreds of women from somewhere and tied them to the city with ropes. Amid the scolding, Ming general rode his horse and gave a few words to him. The Ming army immediately stripped the hundreds of women's clothes and asked them to make a blushing move under the city, and forced them to make a lewd sound.

Some woman refused to obey and her body immediately separated.

Scabbard, whip

The women were beaten and cried, but no one was willing to follow. The Ming army immediately killed people and cut off dozens of heads.

"Are these dogs still humans?"

The tragic situation under the city made the Huai Army soldiers on the city indignant, and they clenched their fists and wanted to rush out to fight to the death with the Ming army.

Lu Guangyuan was also so angry that he couldn't speak. He knew that in the eyes of the officers and soldiers, the people were just ants, and they could kill them at any time, but it was better to be a beast than torture and force women like this!

Seeing that the young governor's face was wrong, Gao Qifeng quickly advised: "This is just a trick of the Ming army. The young governor must not fall into the trap!"

He also said that the governor had led his troops to Andong to "behead" the strategy. The collapse of the Ming army was a matter of time. The young governor had to use calmness to control his movements. He must not be reckless indignation because of his temporary indignation.

Lu Guangyuan knew that the Ming army was inciting him. As long as he continued to hold his troops, the Ming army would have no choice but to do anything to him.

But looking at the women outside the city crying and asking for help from the city, Guangyuan's nameless fire was so dry that he felt like a big rock pressing his chest that he couldn't breathe.

Finally, impulse overwhelmed reason, Guangyuan said to the soldiers on the city wall: "Are these women not our relatives? Can we not save them when we die?"

Silent on the city.

"Doesn't we really can't beat them if we have horses?"

The city is still silent.

"My master told me that a man's hanging is not just used to play with women, but also to protect women. If he can't protect women, this hanging is worse than cutting it!"
