The imperial army started the battle of crossing the river, and the ships attacked from Liyang County to Danyang County, and many river beaches attacked together.

The auxiliary prince sent troops to deploy defenses, and stationed heavy troops at the ancient ferry port position of Kedeng 6 along the river in Danyang County, counterattacked the imperial army, and blocked the landing across the river.

In the area of Jiangning City, the attack was relatively fierce, and the two sides launched water battles and beach battles in the area of the ferry.

Two days passed, and the sailors of the imperial court did not successfully ascend to the 6, but they also inflicted a lot of heavy losses on the defenders on the opposite side.

Dressed in armor, Fu Gong personally came to the stone town by the river, and watched the battle situation on the surface of the Yangtze River.

Cao Yang, a confidant general, hugged his fists and said: "The imperial army is becoming more and more fierce, and it has a great restrain on us, General Fu, we need to move the coalition army to block it together, and in the upstream section, the scout also has a court sailor, but there is no fierce battle coming, I feel that there is a big problem." ”

Fu Gong nodded and said, "General Ben has already sent people to several other cities to investigate the situation. “

At this time, Zhang Shan'an, Shen Faxing, and Chen Dong rushed over, the leaders of these three rebel armies, with 10,000 or 20,000 horses, barely had some use, they planned to hug together, otherwise, they would not be able to resist the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army.

"General Fu, what's the situation?"

"I'm not optimistic!" The assistant shook his head.

"Can the soldiers and horses of the imperial court cross the river?"

Fu Gongyuan did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "Then what do you think?" ”

Shen Faxing, Zhang Shan'an and others looked at each other, and then they all showed helpless wry smiles.

At present, the general trend of the imperial court has been achieved, and it does have the momentum and strength to unify the world, and looking south of the Yangtze River, there is no big force that can resist it.

In the society at that time, although the economy of the south gradually rose and faintly became the granary of the northern imperial court, the political status has not been high, and all kinds of big forces, groups, gate valves, etc., are concentrated in the north, and many heroes are also active in the north and establish political power, but the rebel army in the south is relatively chaotic, and there is not much group power, and the momentum is not as much as that of the northern princes, so strong.

Now that even the heroes of all walks of life in the north, such as Dou Jiande, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Li Rail, etc., have been cleaned up, and the rebel forces in the south are even more unbearable.

Shen Faxing said: "I can only do my best and listen to the destiny of heaven." ”

"Yes, the destiny of heaven, we can't change it, but if there is an opportunity, we can't give up lightly and take the initiative to surrender!" The assistant sighed.

Chen Dong asked: "I heard that General Manager Du has come to Danyang County, why don't you let him come out and lead troops to resist the enemy?" ”

For Du Fuwei's strength, the princes of Jiangnan all admired him, so when they learned that he had returned from crossing the river, they all expected him to strike again and lead them to resist the enemy.

The corners of the auxiliary father's mouth overflowed with a faint coldness, and said: "He is no longer a good brother of my auxiliary father's eight friends, this time I came to Danyang, do you know the reason?" In order to stabilize the morale of the army, I have sent someone to watch over him and stay in the general's mansion in Jiangning City for the time being. ”

"Ah, he's taken refuge in the court?"

"Manager Du, no, Du Fuwei is a first-class hero in Jianghuai, and he was captured and surrendered like this, which is too disappointing."

The assistant looked very sad: "Yes, do you know how disappointed I am? At the beginning, he was at the turn of eight worships, but he could trust life and death, but now he has taken refuge in the imperial court, regardless of our life and death, and even become our enemy. ”

Zhang Shan'an said worriedly: "Chief Du is in charge of the martial arts group, if he intends to escape, I'm afraid those guards in the General's Mansion can't stop it, right?" ”

Fu Gong snorted: "If he doesn't run away, we can still remember the old feelings, and we won't hurt him, just take care of him temporarily, lest he affect the morale of the army and spoil us and other major things." But if he breaks through and escapes and kills my guards, that is, he doesn't miss the old feelings, and he will be a life-and-death enemy in the future, as for martial arts, he may not be stronger than Mr. Zuo, and Mr. Zuo will personally sit in charge, with some warriors recruited by the rivers and lakes, it is not difficult to keep him alone! ”

"But doesn't he have a helper?" Shen Faxing suddenly asked curiously.

Fu Gong shook his head: "No, it's just that he came back alone." ”

"The court would be so careless?" Chen Dong is a descendant of Chen Guo, he has been lurking in Chang'an for a long time, and he has a deep understanding of Luo Zhaoyun, he is very rigorous in doing things, and he is unexpected, and he let Du Fuwei come over to persuade him to surrender, it will not be so simple.

At this moment, a scout rushed forward, dusty, with arrows on his body, very embarrassed.

"Report ——, emergency military situation, the quarry city has fallen, and the Chinese ** team has marched north!"

The assistant stepped forward and asked, "How many men do they have?" ”

"At least 50,000 people, the 20,000 defenders of Quarry City surrendered and joined them, and the momentum was huge!"

Fu Gongqi's face changed, and he felt that the big thing was not good, so he turned to Zhang Shan'an and Shen Faxing and said: "Several generals, the situation in Jiangnan is in crisis, I want to rush back to Jiangning City to mobilize troops and horses, and discuss with Mr. Zuo, there are not enough troops here, and you need your soldiers and horses to assist in defense here, only if we unite as one, can we get through the difficulties." ”

The other rebel leaders did not look good, and they all nodded and agreed with a feeling that the sky was about to fall.

Fu Gongqi took five thousand elite troops out of Stone City and rushed to Jiangning City, now he has no idea, he plans to meet the think tank Zuo Youxian as soon as possible, and then discuss countermeasures.

Quarrying, when Tucheng is in the south of Jiangning City, one is close to the Yangtze River, the other is in the hinterland of Danyang County, both geographical locations are very important, the defenders of Quarry City surrendered, so when Tucheng didn't know how long he could carry it, the auxiliary prince faintly felt that the imperial court seemed to have played a game of chess, and put himself into it silently.

"Du Fuwei, it must be him, the guard of Quarry City is the person he promoted, maybe after Du Fuwei crossed the river, he has already surrendered, damn, my good brother, he actually gave me this hand, this time I returned to Jiangning City, but Hugh blamed my brother for being ruthless."

Fu Gong's heart was anxious and angry, and he was full of hatred for Du Fuwei.

After two hours of traveling, when I was about to arrive at Jiangning City, there was thick smoke billowing in the city, fighting continued, and people and soldiers were constantly fleeing outside.

Fu Gong's face was solemn, he didn't know what was going on, so he sent someone to intercept and inquire.

"Oh no, there was a mutiny in the city, General Ximen Junyi appeared, brought in to capture the city gate, some generals rebelled, and there was a force outside the city to kill into the city, and now ...... Right now, Jiangning City is in chaos. One deserter replied.

"Ximen Junyi, it's that wolf cub, it turns out that Du Fuwei really didn't come back alone, so he left his back." Fu Gongqian felt that he was careless, and he was full of anger.

Fu Gongyuan drew his blade, killed the deserter with a sword, and then continued to rush to Jiangning City with five thousand elite soldiers and horses.

But when approaching Jiangning City, the current city gate has been closed, and the battle at the city head and city gate is over, and the imperial court flag has been replaced.
