Time is slow, and it has come to the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

If it is other times, the inside and outside of Jinling City are already very lively.

Whether it is ordinary people or dignitaries, they must have been busy welcoming the New Year, buying New Year's goods and so on.

But now, Jinling City is closed, and even Jinling City looks cold and lifeless.

Not even a hint of New Year's flavor.

At this time, Zhu Quan's soldiers and horses had already arrived at the boundary of Jinling.

However, as soon as he arrived at the Jinling territory, he was stopped by the Tang army.

It was Li Yuanba who stopped him.

Li Yuanba led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to block Zhu Quan's way.

Zhu Quan looked at Li Yuanba with some uneasiness in his eyes.

He had already thought of being blocked by Tang Jun, but he didn't expect that it would be Li Yuanba who would stop him.

This is an existence that can kill Lu Bu, and he is not Lu Bu's opponent at all, so he is naturally not Li Yuanba's opponent.

Although the Tang army did not have many soldiers and horses, it gave him an indescribable pressure.

"Li Yuanba, do you want to stop this king today?" Zhu Quan looked at Li Yuanba and asked, Li Yuanba shrugged: "Emperor Tang ordered, naturally he had to stop him." ”

Zhu Quan smiled: "Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it." ”

After the two sides said a few words, they immediately started to move.

The Tang army is fierce, the number of Ming countries is large, and after the two sides are killed together, it is a little difficult to solve.

The battle went on a bit as the soldiers and horses on both sides kept falling.

At this time, in Jinling City, it is a different situation.

"Holy Lord, Prince Zhu Quan returned to Beijing, but was stopped by the Tang Army, if we don't send troops to support, I am afraid that the situation of Prince Zhu Quan will be very bad."

A courtier told Zhu Zhang's situation to Zhu Zhang, and after listening to it, Zhu Zhang's expression changed greatly, and he said, "Come on, go and answer Zhu Quan quickly." ”

No matter what, even if Longcheng was breached, Zhu Quan was still his son of Zhu Zhang, and he couldn't watch his son being attacked like this by the Tang Army.

After Zhu Zhang gave the order, someone immediately went out of the city with soldiers and horses to meet Zhu Quan.

On Zhu Quan's side, after fighting with Li Yuanba for a long time, he was already a little tired, and if he continued to kill like this, he would have to be killed by Li Yuanba.

And at this time, the reinforcements sent by Zhu Zhang rushed back.

"Lord Wang, let's go!"

After Zhu Quan broke through, he rushed to Jinling City with a part of the soldiers and horses, and the rest of the soldiers and horses could only sacrifice them and let them break off.

When the soldiers and horses fought, and when Zhu Quan returned to Jinling City, it was already afternoon.

In the afternoon, Jinling City looked gloomy, as if it was going to rain again.

Zhu Quan returned to the palace, and after seeing Zhu Zhang, he knelt down with a plop.

"The son-in-law is incompetent, he failed to hold the Dragon City, please punish the father."

Zhu Zhang looked at his son, who was the most capable of fighting, and waved his hand helplessly: "Okay, Longcheng was attacked like that, it's normal that you can't hold it, and now that you're back, just rest for a few days, after the soldiers and horses of the Song Kingdom arrive, I'm afraid that they will attack the city." ”

Now Zhu Zhang can't blame Zhu Quan, after all, none of them can hold their own city, so blaming Zhu Quan is really a bit unreasonable.

After Zhu Quan received the order, he retreated, and only the soldiers and horses of the Song State could arrive.

Zhu Di didn't say anything about Zhu Quan's loss here.

Now that the Ming Kingdom is already in a very crisis, they are all likely to be destroyed, so it is not much fun to compete for power and profit.

Even if they want to fight, they have to wait until they repel the soldiers and horses of the Tang and Song states.

When Li Yuanba returned to the barracks with his soldiers and horses, it was already dusk.

At this time, it was raining cold winter rain inside and outside Jinling City.

The winter rain is very cold, which makes people feel cold to the bone.

Li Yuanba was a little lost.

"Shengshang, that Zhu Quan failed to kill, let him escape back."

After Li Yu heard the news, he didn't get angry, he just nodded, as if it was just a piece of news, and there would be no ripples in his heart.

"Okay, since Zhu Quan has returned to Jinling City, then let's wait for the arrival of Zhuge Kongming and Song Kuangyi, after they come, we can launch an attack on Jinling City."

What follows is a hard battle.

It's never easy to siege a city.

The Tang army waited outside Jinling City, and a few days later, Zhuge Kongming and Song Kuangyi rushed back to Jinling City with their soldiers and horses to join Li Yu.

On the way here, they already knew that the Tang army had blocked Zhu Quan, and Song Kuangyi was very excited about this matter, but later he learned that Zhu Quan had not been killed, and the Tang army's loss was not large, so he was a little disappointed.

However, when he met Li Yu, he didn't say anything about it.

"Emperor Tang, you guys are really early."

This is a bit of a sycophant, Li Yu smiled: "The prince is not slow to come, it seems that the prince is a person who does great things, and in the future, the Song Kingdom, I'm afraid you will have to rely on you." ”

When Li Yu said this, Song Kuangyi was stunned for a moment, but then he understood what Li Yu meant, Li Yu said that he Song Kuangyi had the fate of the Son of Heaven.

And this also means that Li Yu supports him in the matter of the Son of Heaven.

Although Li Yu can't be the master of whoever is the emperor of the Song Kingdom, Li Yu's support is definitely a good thing for him.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a moment, and then returned to the barracks to discuss the next matter. "It's about to be the New Year, but we've been here for a long time, so I'm going to wait for you to rest for two days, and then send troops to attack Jinling City, now Jinling City has about 200,000 soldiers and horses, and we also have almost 300,000 soldiers and horses in Calais, although it is a bit troublesome to attack the city, but I want to capture Jinling City, it shouldn't be difficult."

Li Yu said what he meant, and now they have no other better way than to forcibly attack the city.

After Li Yu finished speaking, he set his eyes on Song Kuangyi, Song Kuangyi's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly said: "This is naturally no problem, we have more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, if we can't capture Jinling City, it will be a little too weak, and it will make people laugh when you say it." ”

Li Yu's aura was a bit big, and Song Kuangyi couldn't help but echo it.

Li Yu nodded and said, "Okay, since Prince Song also thinks it's feasible, then in three days, let's attack Jinling City." ”。

After saying this, Song Kuangyi finally returned to his military camp to rest, and Li Yu discussed with his generals and advisers before finally dispersed.

The rain at night was heavier, making the entire Jinling City look even colder inside and outside. The Tang army and the Song army waited here, and the three days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to attack Jinling City.
