The sun was setting and the twilight was vast, and a group of scattered troops appeared on the official road in the east of Yiyang County, and the team of three or four hundred people was stretched out and looked sparse, and the soldiers were like eggplants that had been beaten by frost, wilting and drooping, and their spirits were sluggish, and the spears in their hands were lazily dragged.

Wu Sanba stood beside the carriage on crutches, his face was pale, and a loud scolding that had reached his throat finally turned into a long sigh, and his expression was annoyed. I think that I just sent troops from Nanchang and subdued the states and counties along the way, how majestic I was, but I was defeated when I attacked Leadshan County, and now I am panicked like a lost dog.

It is said that last night, Wu Sanba fell for Xu Jin's plan of "inviting the king into the urn", and the cavalry and two thousand elites were lost, and they instantly turned into toothless tigers. Wu Sanba also knew that the general trend had gone, and if he didn't run again, he was afraid that his life would not be guaranteed, so he pulled out the camp before dawn, left all the wounded soldiers, and evacuated Leadshan County with more than 1,500 rebels who still had combat effectiveness.

However, Wu Sanba's descendants who were originally brought out from Nanchang were all killed in the first battle last night, and the rest were all the state and county officials, people's strong, homeless people, and ordinary people who were incorporated along the way, and there were great problems in both combat effectiveness and loyalty. Before, there were descendants of the troops under pressure, these "rabble" were still forbidden, but now it is difficult, so many people deserted along the way, and in just one day, they ran six or seven percent, and now there are only four hundred people left, which can be described as extremely tragic.

The soldier in charge of driving the carriage peeked at Wu Sanba, who had a look of expression at the end of the curtain, and comforted: "General Wu, stay in the green mountains, even if there is no firewood?" When we return to Nanchang City, we will definitely be able to make a comeback! ”

Wu Sanba couldn't help but be shocked, yes, stay in the green mountains, even if there is no firewood? At the beginning, he was caught by Sun Sui's old horseman, locked in prison and tortured, thinking that he would definitely die, but in the end he didn't come out alive, but now he just suffered a defeat, what's the big deal, go back and fight again. Xu Sourzi, wait for Lao Tzu, this revenge will not be avenged, Lao Tzu will write the name upside down!

"What's your name?" Wu Sanba's eyes fell on the faces of the soldiers who were driving the car, and he asked with a "pleasant face".

The soldier replied, "The little one is called Huang Dasong!" ”

"Huang Dasong, you are very good, stay by the general's side as a personal soldier, and go back to reward you with a hundred households!" Wu Sanba patted the soldier's shoulder and promised.

Huang Dasong said happily: "Thank you, General Wu, please get in the car!" ”

Wu Sanba, supported by this soldier, got into the carriage and led hundreds of remnants into Yiyang County.

After entering the city, Wu Sanba arranged for people to guard the city gate, and then went straight to the county government with thirty personal guards, and he was going to live here tonight.

It is said that when Wu Sanba broke through Yiyang County, the county commander, county Cheng, and Lord Bo of Yiyang County were all killed in battle, and now it is a small official promoted by Wu Sanba who presides over the county government. Seeing Wu Sanba's arrival, the little official immediately arranged for someone to wait carefully.

Wu Sanba ran all the way, physically and mentally exhausted, and went to bed early after dinner, and soon snored like thunder.

Wu Sanba had a fragrant and glamorous dream, dreaming that after the city was broken that day, the scene when he forcibly killed the concubine in Yiyang County was also in this room, the concubine's appearance was on point, and her body was hot and spicy, which made people have endless aftertaste. Wu Sanba pressed the little concubine in his dream and was excited, but the concubine, who was originally as beautiful as a flower, suddenly spit out a crimson tongue, her eyes bulged out like a dead fish, and her seven holes were bleeding......

Wu Sanba was so frightened that he woke up in a dream in an instant. At this moment, a flash of cold light suddenly appeared, and Wu Sanba felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and couldn't help but let out a miserable scream!

"It's you, Huang Dasong, what do you want to do, come on, ......!" Wu Sanba covered the wound in his abdomen, and stared at Huang Dasong, a soldier standing beside the bed with a waist knife in his hand, in shock and anger.

Huang Dasong lifted the bloody waist knife upside down, and sneered with hatred: "The surname Wu, you also have today, do you still remember the woman who hanged herself here after being insulted by you?" ”

"Who the hell are you?" Wu Sanba said in horror.

Huang Dasong gritted his teeth and said: "That woman is my sister, let's take my life!" ”

Immediately, a scream was heard in the room.

……

On February 14th, the spring is bright, the clear Xinjiang River water goes west, after several spring rains, the grass on both sides is already green, on a tea mountain in the distance, the busy figure of the tea picker can be faintly seen, and the song of Qingyue comes from afar.

At this time, there were several bowships down the Xinjiang River, and a small table was placed on the bow of one of them, Xu Jin was wearing a beautiful jade-colored shirt, sitting next to the table and drinking tea, while enjoying the warm spring breeze and bright sunshine in spring.

Wang Lin'er and the other soldiers held waist knives in their hands and meticulously guarded the surroundings, only Xie Erjian was holding a piece of grass in his mouth and sitting lazily on the deck. Who made the family the second brother-in-law of the general judge, and he had the privilege!

At about ten o'clock in the morning, the ship finally docked at the wharf in the east of Yiyang County, Xu Jin got on the boat under the escort of the soldiers, and the generals who arrived first were already waiting here, and two thousand men and horses were stationed outside the east gate of Yiyang County.

Xu Jin came to the camp surrounded by the generals, looked at the locked city gate not far away, and asked, "Yu Qianhu, have you discussed how to attack the city?" ”

Yu Linsheng and Wang Duo and the others showed strange colors!

Xu Jin frowned and said, "Difficult?" ”

Yu Linsheng said with a smile: "As long as the Lord Tongju personally goes out, this Yiyang County may be able to be taken without a strong attack!" ”

Xu Jin was slightly stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

Yu Linsheng shrugged his shoulders and said: "We shouted to the head of the city before, and the rebels at the head of the city put forward the condition, as long as the general judge promised to pardon them, they would immediately open the city and surrender, and also showed Wu Sanba's head. ”

Xu Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered to shout to the city. Yu Linsheng personally urged the horse to step forward and shouted: "The defenders at the head of the city listen, the general judge has promised to pardon you and others, and immediately open the city gate and surrender!" ”

As soon as the words ended, several rebels came out to check on the city, and after a while, there were several more people, this time they were not rebels, but they were actually some scholars.

A young man dressed as a showman said excitedly: "It's indeed Xu Sanyuan, Liu Baihu, quickly order someone to open Chengliu and surrender!" ”

Soon, the city gate slowly opened, and a group of more than a dozen people walked out of the city quickly, and most of them were dressed as scholars, and the leader was an old man with an elegant temperament.

"Brother Ziqian, after half a year, the style is better than in the past!" A scholar stepped out of the crowd, quickened his pace and greeted him with a smile.

Xu Jin couldn't help but be a little surprised, and blurted out: "Brother Shaoyun! ”

This scholar is Huang Dacan, the word Shaoyun, who passed the house examination with Xu Jin at the beginning, and passed the hospital examination together, and the scholars of the two houses on the Fujiwang Pavilion also participated in the competition, so the friendship with Xu Jin is not bad.

Huang Dacan's expression was both excited and a little cramped, Xu Jin was a talent at the same time as himself, and he was still a few years younger than him, but now he was a six-pin general judge with military power, and he could only look up.

At this time, the others also walked in front of Xu Jin, and Huang Dacan hurriedly said: "Brother Ziqian, this is the mountain chief of our Dieshan Academy, these are the teachers and classmates of our academy!" ”

The elegant old man at the head smiled and arched his hand: "Wen Mou has heard the name of Xu Sanyuan for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was indeed a handsome young man. ”

This old man is the head of the Dieshan Academy in Yiyang County, his surname is Hao, and his words are insignificant.

Xu Jin hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted: "The mountain chief praised it!" ”

Xu Jin exchanged a few words with the people of Dieshan Academy, and finally his eyes fell on the two men dressed as rebels, and his face sank and said, "Who are the two of you?" ”

The two rebels fell to their knees and replied with fear on their faces: "The criminals Liu Tiehammer, Huang Dasong visited Lord Tongju, we were all coerced into being thieves at the beginning, and now we surrender in Kaicheng, I hope that Lord Tongju can pardon us and others." ”

After Huang Dasong finished speaking, he opened a baggage, revealing a bloody human head, which was the thief leader Wu Sanba.

"Huang Dasong?" Xu Jin subconsciously looked at Huang Dacan.

Huang Dacan explained abruptly: "Brother Ziqian, Da Song is a member of the family in Xia, and he is the same generation as Zainah, he was on an errand in the county government before, and Wu Sanba was forced to obey the thief when he attacked Yiyang County. ”

It turned out that this Huang Dasong had been an errand boy in Yiyang County, and his sister married Yiyang County Lingdang's concubine. At the beginning, after Wu Sanba broke through Yiyang County, in order to vent his hatred, he killed all the men of the county order's family, and the women were divided into soldiers, and he himself forcibly occupied a concubine of the county order.

This concubine is Huang Dasong's sister, and Huang Dasong himself was incorporated into the team by Wu Sanba, and has been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, and finally found an opportunity to kill Wu Sanba last night, and persuaded the rebel Liu Tiehammer to surrender the city.

Seeing that Wu Sanba was dead, Liu Tiehammer could only agree to surrender, but asked for a guarantee of pardon, so Huang Dasong found his brother Huang Dacan, who was studying in Dieshan Academy, hoping to communicate and negotiate with Xu Jin through the head of the academy.

After Xu Jin figured out the ins and outs, he immediately sent troops into the city to take over the city defense, and the rebels in the city also handed over their weapons and surrendered in an orderly manner.

As a result, Xu Tongju recovered Yiyang County without spending a single soldier, and killed the thief leader Wu Sanba, which can be described as a great joy.

Next, Xu Jin stayed in Yiyang County for a day, appointed Wen Hao, the head of Dieshan Academy, to temporarily manage Yiyang County on behalf of the county, and the next day he led the army to continue westward to Guixi County.

At this time, the news that Wang Shouren, the governor of Southern Jiangxi, led an army of "160,000" to send troops to Nanchang had spread, so Xu Jin took 2,000 men and horses and easily recovered the prefectures and counties along the way, just like Wu Sanba at the beginning.

On February 20, the 14th year of Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Jin led his army to Jinxian County, which was less than 100 miles away from Nanchang City, and it took only half a day to attack the city, and then purge the remnants of the rebels in the city.

In the afternoon of the same day, the scouts sent by Xu Jin to Nanchang to inquire about the news came back to report that Nanchang City had been broken by Wang Shouren, and Zhu Gongtiao, the king of Yichun who stayed in Nanchang, was also captured alive.

Xu Jin couldn't help but secretly speak, this speed is too fast, it has only been three days since the unification of the Communist Party, and Wang Shouren has actually broken through a big city like Nanchang, and there is no weak person under the fame. Of course, there is also part of the reason for the emptiness of Nanchang City's defensive force!

……

On the afternoon of February 21, Xu Jin led his army to Nanchang outside, but was stopped outside the city by Wang Shouren's men.

Xu Jin waited in Nanchang City for nearly an hour, and the city sent someone out to greet him, and it was Fei Cai.

"Let Ziqian wait for a long time, Nanchang City was captured just yesterday, and Governor Wang was too busy to take a break, so he specially sent me out to greet Ziqian!" Fei Cai said apologetically as soon as they met.

Xu Jin didn't dare to "expect" that the dignified governor would go out of the city to greet him, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Uncle Cai, what is the situation in Nanchang City now?" ”

"The rebels in the city have been basically cleared, and now they are busy arresting the accomplices of King Ning's rebels!"

Fei Cai looked dusty, but he was in high spirits, and he was obviously in a very good mood. This time, Wang Shouren did not send troops to save Anqing, which was being besieged by the rebels, but attacked Nanchang, the nest of King Ning, obviously adopting the strategy in Fei Cai's "Book of Shang Wang Bo'an to Discuss and Capture Ning", and now easily captured Nanchang City, which is enough to prove the correctness of Fei Cai's strategy.

Therefore, if Wang Shouren quells the rebellion and captures King Ning in the future, Fei Cai's credit will inevitably be indispensable, and then let Wang Shouren intercede in front of the Son of Heaven, and he should be able to exonerate his wife and children.

Xu Jin instructed Yu Linsheng to lead the team to camp outside the city, and then only took Wang Lin'er and other personal soldiers to enter the city with Fei Cai.

This is the second time Xu Jin has stepped into Nanchang City, and unlike the last time he came to the examination institute to take the exam, he walked on thin ice, but this time it was extremely easy, because there was no longer the threat of Ning Wangfu.

The smell of blood in Nanchang City does not seem to have dissipated, and traces of battle can be seen everywhere, and from time to time you can see heavily armed soldiers escorting a long line of crying prisoners passing by, men, women and children, women and children crying sadly, these are the families of the prisoners who are attached to King Ning's rebellion.

Obviously, the purge of Nanchang City began, and I am afraid that tens of thousands of people were punished, men were either beheaded or exiled, and women were either reduced to lowly slaves for generations, or confiscated into the church for generations as prostitutes. In short, it didn't end well, politics has always been cruel, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, and I don't believe in tears!

Xu Jin followed Fei Cai to the governor's yamen in the north of Nanchang City. Looking at the familiar gold lacquer plaque, Xie Erjian, Wang Lin'er and other personal soldiers were red-eyed. It was here that they fought to the death that day, escorting the governor to rush out of Nanchang City, and nearly half of the brothers fell here, and now only eleven of them remain.

Xu Jin couldn't help but sigh secretly, when he took the college examination last year, he lived in the governor's yamen in front of him, and it was because of Sun Sui's protection that he was able to successfully pass the examination and leave Nanchang City safely.

Now the governor yamen is still there, but Sun Sui is gone, the great master Xu Kui is also gone, and the Nanchang prefect Song Yifang is also gone.

"Ziqian, let's go in, the governor is waiting inside!" Fei Cai said lightly.

Xu Jin cleaned up his emotions and walked in with Fei Caiju, this governor is not the governor of the other side!
