Since the Zhang Mingjian Rebellion, the west of Jiangdu City has become the least populated area among the four urban areas. Businessmen do not like to open shops here, and the streets are much deserted than other urban areas.
Hualu Street is one of the most depressed streets in Jiangdu City.
However, in such a remote place, there is a public house - the Military Intelligence Agency.
Zhang Yangquan came to the Military Intelligence Agency early in the morning and asked Geng Si for news about Wuwei.
In the past few days, he had been coming here every day to ask Zhu Yuanzhang whether he would send troops to rescue him. Geng Si's answer was almost the same every day.
"No news yet."
But today he added one more sentence: "If we respond today, we should be able to get the news back!"
Zhang Yangquan sat in the seat where Geng Si usually worked, nodded, and asked: "Is there any new news coming from other places?"
Geng Sidao: "No."
Zhang Yangquan stood up and said: "Then you can do your work, I will look around, you don't have to worry about me."
Geng Si finally couldn't help but said: "Manager, you don't have to wait here. When the news comes, I will go over and report to you immediately!"
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "Your place is clean, I can just hide for a while!"
Geng Siqi asked: "What are you hiding from?"
Zhang Yangquan didn't answer and asked instead: "Geng Si, I plan to increase the rank of all officials after I become the king. Have you heard about it?"
"I heard about it."
"You made great contributions in the Battle of Yangzhou. Have you ever thought about how many grades of rewards you will get when you are rewarded based on your merits?"
Geng Si hesitated for a moment and said: "I have thought about it."
"Then why don't you ask me?"
Geng Si said without hesitation: "How many products you give me, I will make them, it doesn't matter whether you ask me or not!"
Zhang Yangquan smiled slightly and said: "You have a very good mentality."
He sighed and said: "It's a pity that other people don't think like you do. They always find reasons to see me recently. They don't dare to ask, so they try to make insinuations to make sure they don't upset me!" Geng Si nodded and was about to say something when a Military Intelligence Officer suddenly came in from outside the door.
"General Manager, Deputy General Manager Guo asked to see him and said that Sizhou Zhao Junyong sent an envoy."
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "It seems that Zhao Junyong can't sit still anymore. Please ask Deputy General Manager Guo to come in."
Just as Zhang Yangquan expected, Zhao Junyong was furious after receiving Sun Deya's letter.
At that time, he was still entangled with the Yuan army in Xiao County.
Xiao County has an army of 10,000 yuan. Although it is not the only way to Xuzhou, it is at odds with Xuzhou, so Zhao Junyong wants to capture it first and use it as a place to store grain.
However, after attacking for more than half a month, we still couldn't defeat it.
Originally because of the failure of the siege and Guo Zixing's mutiny, he was in a irritable mood. After learning about the rescue by Jiangdu Army, he was even more furious and wanted Sun Deya to go to war directly with Jiangdu Army without any scruples!
Fortunately, Mao Gui persuaded him and said: "Your Majesty, Jiangdu's army is at a sharp front and cannot be the enemy head-on. Moreover, our army has no conflict with them, so why do we need to establish such a strong enemy?"
Zhao Junyong said: "Chuzhou is so easy to get, should we give up like this?"
Mao Guidao said: "Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the Yuan army to attack Yangzhou and occupied Chuzhou. Zhang Yangquan cannot have no grudges! Please let me go as envoy to Jiangdu, and I will definitely try to persuade Zhang Yangquan to withdraw the 10,000 cavalry!"
"As soon as you go there, Zhu Yuanzhang's reinforcements will have arrived!"
Mao Gui smiled and said: "Zhu Yuanzhang's situation in Wuwei is not good. Even if reinforcements are sent, the number will never be large!"
Zhao Junyong nodded in agreement and sent Mao Gui to Jiangdu.
Mao Gui first asked to see Guo Niansheng and said that he was very powerful. He hoped that Guo Niansheng would persuade Zhang Yangquan to withdraw the reinforcements, and then Guo Niansheng came to Zhang Yangquan.
Guo Niansheng briefly explained the situation, and Zhang Yangquan waved his hand and said: "You go back and tell him, just say that it is difficult for me to make a decision now, and I will give him an answer tomorrow!"
Guo Niansheng promised and was about to leave.
Suddenly, an officer from the Military Intelligence Agency entered the lobby and said to Zhang Yangquan and Geng Si: "General manager, commander, Wuwei has sent word that Zhu Yuanzhang is standing still and there is no sign of rescuing Chuzhou!"
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "Uncle Guo, go tell Mao Gui that our army agrees to withdraw the reinforcements, and then send someone to tell Wang Da the news and let him lead the army back to Jiangdu!"
In fact, just when Zhang Yangquan was conveying the order, Guo Tianxu returned to Chuzhou first and told Guo Zixing about Wuwei's story.
After hearing this, Guo Zixing became furious and said: "This beast is just looking forward to my death so that he can take my place in his place!"
Guo Tianxu said bitterly: "My child has long said that Zhu Yuanzhang cannot be trusted, but you just don't believe it. What happens now? Is he backlashing you?"
Wang Dake didn't care about the mood of the father and son. He got orders from Zhang Yangquan when he set out. As soon as he learned that Zhu Yuanzhang would not send reinforcements, he would immediately lead his troops back to Jiangdu.
"My general manager has a word in advance. I will only help you defend until the reinforcements arrive. Now that the reinforcements have not come, I'm sorry, the general has no choice but to withdraw!" He said coldly.
Guo Zixing wanted to say something to persuade him to stay, but he really couldn't find an excuse. Moreover, he was extremely angry with Zhu Yuanzhang and just wanted to go to Wuwei to settle the score with him immediately.
"In this case, General Wang and I will leave together!"
Wang Da did not refuse.
In the afternoon of that day, Guo Zixing took more than 2,000 troops and followed Jiangdu's army to leave Chuzhou City and head south.
After Sun Deya got the news, he immediately marched and occupied Chuzhou!
He hated Guo Zixing the most in his life. He refused to stop after he captured Chuzhou and personally led three thousand cavalry to chase him down.
After chasing for a while, they learned that Guo Zixing was following Wang Da's team, so they hung on far behind.
After arriving in Zhenzhou, Guo Zixing finally broke away from Wang Da's team and entered Hezhou very cautiously from the official road of Zhenzhou!
As a result, not long after the team marched, Sun Deya's team crossed the border into Hezhou and pursued them from behind.
Guo Zixing was an infantryman and brought a lot of food and baggage with him. He was soon chased by Sun Deya and surrounded on a hillside.
Sun Deya was riding on his horse, pointing his sword at Guo Zixing on the hillside, laughing wildly: "Guo Zixing, today is the day you die!"
Guo Zixing said angrily: "Sun Deya, this is the territory of Jiangdu Army, do you dare to take action here?"
Sun Deya laughed loudly: "Jiang Dujun is nothing, today the King of Heaven is here, I will chop off your dog's head too!"

As soon as he stopped talking, he suddenly saw dust flying behind him, the ground trembled and shook, and after a while, a cavalry in blue clothes and black armor came rushing towards them.
The character "Zhao" is written on the handsome flag, and the leading general's face is like the bottom of a pot. It is Zhao Desheng.
Zhao Desheng also has three thousand cavalry, but the entire team is brightly dressed and uniform, and the soldiers are all fierce and murderous.
Sun Deya only glanced at it, and his heart began to tremble.
In the shadow of the famous tree, although he looked arrogant just now, in the face of the prestigious Jiangdu Army, he was already timid before the fight started.
"I'm here to hunt down Guo Zixing, don't get me wrong!" He quickly explained.
Zhao Desheng said coldly: "Misunderstanding? Let me ask you, whose territory is this?"
Sun Deya swallowed and said: "I know that I have crossed the line and it is against the rules, but it is just to hunt down the traitors, so please make it easier for your army!"
Zhao Desheng smiled solemnly and said: "Your Excellency is very old, but you talk like a three-year-old child! Blatantly crossing the line is a provocation to our Jiangdu Army. I have no convenience here, only knives and blood!"
The horse in his hand turned in a circle and was raised diagonally in the air, as if he was about to give an order to attack.
Sun Deya said anxiously: "I retreat, I retreat immediately, isn't that okay?"
Zhao Desheng said coldly: "You can leave if you want, but leave your weapons, horses and armor behind!"
Sun Deya's eyes turned red and he said sternly: "Don't push yourself too far, am I still afraid of you?"
Zhao Desheng didn't say anything more. Ma Shan pointed forward and said coldly: "Kill them all!"
The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and Jiangdu's army rushed towards Sun Deya's army.
At this moment, Sun Deya suddenly remembered the scene when Guo Zixing invited him to come out during the uprising. He hurriedly shook away the distracting thoughts in his mind and said hurriedly: "Don't fight, I'm afraid of you, so it's okay!"
However, the sound of hoofbeats was so loud that his voice could not be heard at all. Sun Deya was so horrified that he quickly threw down his weapon, jumped off his horse, and knelt on the ground!
Zhao Desheng saw it and ordered the gold medal.
Almost as soon as the sound rang out, the charging team stopped, almost obeying the order.
When Sun Deya saw this, he no longer wanted to resist. While taking off his armor, he roared at the soldiers behind him: "Take off all those with armor, don't wait any longer!"
In fact, none of his men were willing to fight against Jiangdu's army, so they hurriedly obeyed the order. Before long, the three thousand Sizhou soldiers were all disarmed, with not even a piece of iron on their bodies.
"I can always leave now!" Sun Deya stared at Zhao Desheng angrily.
Zhao Desheng was actually a little disappointed. Zhang Yangquan gave him an order to protect Guo Zixing secretly. If the Sizhou army pursues him and crosses the border, he will disarm the opponent. If he resists, he can annihilate him.
Disarmament is a small achievement, annihilation is a big achievement, and he felt that Sun Deya was vulnerable, so he hoped Sun Deya would resist in his heart.
Now things went against his wishes, which made him feel very bad, and he said coldly: "Go away!"
Sun Deya lost all his temper, and left in dejection with his three thousand men without even leaving a word to express the situation.
Only then did Guo Zixing come down from the hillside, cupped his hands towards Zhao Desheng and said, "Thank you, general, for the rescue!"
Zhao Desheng waved his hand and said: "You're welcome, let's go quickly!" He led the troops to pack up the captured weapons and horses and returned to Zhenzhou.
Guo Tianxu stared blankly at the leaving Jiangdu Army, not knowing what he was thinking.
