After Liu Dabeard led the army to Yangzhou, he never saw Xia Lingcang and Xie Xunxiong again. Although he had invited the two of them many times, they had been using military affairs to excuse themselves, so much so that until now, he had no idea what to do with these things......

Perhaps, only when the Beiqing army comes to the city, can they pay attention to it.

A few days ago, Liu Dabeard received news that Shi Yuan led people to Yangzhou. This is not good news for him. Now he has limited powers, but no matter what...... But he is also the commander of the three armies of Nanqing! And Shi Yuan has the "imperial order" this time, and has the name of "General Pingnan", this time he came to Yangzhou, and nine times out of ten he came to take over this force.

Although it was one of his plans to withdraw his troops to the south, if Shi Yuan took the initiative to come, it would be a little different.

Fortunately, tens of thousands of refugees in Yangzhou are now retreating to the south, and I heard that Jinling City only has more than 3,000 troops. If he wants to deal with these refugees, it will take a lot of time...... In a short period of time, it is a little difficult to come to Yangzhou City! As long as the Beiqing army approached and the chips were not suitable, he would lead the army south, drive the refugees away, and then take over Jinling...... Regardless of whether Nanqing can win in the end, he is still the commander of these three armies after all. The so-called green mountains are here, and they are not afraid of no firewood......

Therefore, although Liu Dabeard has a headache now, things are still under his control! He didn't have to worry too much...... Just wait for the news of Beiqing in this Yangzhou City......

Liu Dabeard's plan is like this, but Xia Lingcang, who is the commander of the Jiangnan Local Army, doesn't think so...... Well, in fact, he was set up by all the generals in Jiangnan, and he didn't have other ideas. This so-called right general is just a miscellaneous job. Garrisoned in the south of Yangzhou City, this is the result of joint discussion among the generals of the 12 cities in the south of the Yangtze River.

According to the results of the discussion of these local military commanders, this Yangzhou city will definitely not be able to be defended. They planned that as soon as the Beiqing army arrived at the city of Yangzhou, they would all retreat to the south, and then they would lead their own troops back to various places, waiting for the Beiqing army to come and collect them one by one...... Of course, no one said this on the surface, and all they used was to retreat to the cities south of the Yangtze River and strictly guard the banner of the Beiqing rebels...... After all, they are still subordinate to the Nanqing Imperial Court. If this kind of thing is explained, this is a "rebellion".

Xia Lingcang doesn't care, these days he is doing nothing outside the south of Yangzhou City, and he is waiting for the day when the Beiqing army will attack...... But who knows, there was no news from Beiqing's army, but it was the "General Pingnan" who came first.

When I heard that Shi Yuan and his people were coming, Xia Lingcang was taking a nap in the tent. He was extremely upset when he was woken up, but after hearing the spies report that it was "General Pingnan" coming, a spirit sat up.

"General Pingnan? Be...... Then the stone of Jinling is far away? ”

"Yes General, he is waiting outside the camp!"

"How many people did he bring?"

"More than 100 people, there are several trucks."

"More than a hundred!? There are also baggage vehicles...... How was he able to make his way through the ranks of tens of thousands of refugees? Xia Lingcang muttered to himself, then packed up his armor and walked towards the outside of the camp......

At this time, Shi Yuan had already come out of the carriage, and he also pretended to change into a suit of armor...... In any case, he is always "General Pingnan" now!

"This barracks is really stinking, it's not as good as the refugees I met before!" Liuli rode on the horse, looked at the messy military camp in front of him, frowned and said.

She was still looking forward to it on the road before, thinking that there should be a killing atmosphere in the barracks and a martial arts atmosphere. And now seeing this, it is inevitable that there will be some big disappointments.

In fact, this was also the first time Shi Yuan really saw the military camp of this era, because strictly speaking, the Dingnan Army he saw on Yelian Island at that time could not be counted.

Compared to Ruri, he didn't have too much dissatisfaction. At least from the mental state of the few soldiers guarding outside the camp, he was still satisfied. It's just that I don't know how the generals in this barracks will embarrass him......

"These should be local armies." The so-called layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, just when Shi Yuan was thinking about what kind of attitude he should use to deal with the generals in this military camp later, Baihua on the side opened his mouth to say a word.

"Local Army?" Regarding the situation in the Nanqing military camp, Baihua hadn't told him yet, so when he suddenly heard these three words, Shi Yuan was a little puzzled for a while.

That is, the defenders of the 12 cities in the south of the Yangtze River before, with a total of about 60,000 people, are also the most powerful composition of the Nanqing army. The general is called Xia Lingcang, who was originally the commander of Yangzhou and Jinling, but now he has become the right general of the three armies. In fact, there is no real power in his hands, because the local army is temporarily put together......"

Baihua was telling Shi Yuan about the situation of the local army, but from a distance, he saw that Xia Lingcang had already brought someone over. When the two met, they both looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Shi Yuan's purpose was to absorb the Nanqing troops in Yangzhou City, so he felt that his posture was higher, and he was waiting for this Xia Lingcang to salute him. And Xia Lingcang felt that when he Shi Yuan came to Yangzhou this time, even if it was a dragon, he had to lie down...... He was waiting for Shi Yuan's greeting.

However, it was not a way for the two to continue to stalemate, so Shi Yuan took the lead in frowning, pretending to be very dissatisfied and said, "You are Xia Lingcang?" Now that you've seen General Ben, why don't you hurry up and salute!? ”

Although Shi Yuan usually hates this way of communicating by bowing and kowtowing at every turn, he ...... now But he had to show his own posture.

And hearing his words, this Xia Lingcang suddenly burst out laughing, laughing very exaggeratedly, and did not give him a little bit of face as the "General of Pingnan".

"Salute? General Shi didn't forget, this is the barracks of the three armies of Nanqing! You are nothing but the general of Pingnan, but we are against the Northland...... You don't seem to be able to control me, do you? After a pause, "Also, General Shi, don't forget, you can't take female dependents in this barracks, and there is also this female doll...... This is not the place to visit. ”

Xia Lingcang didn't give Shi Yuan face at all, on this matter, whether it was Liu Dabeard or Xie Xunxiong in Jinling City, they all had the same opinion.

When Liuli heard him say "female doll", she frowned dissatisfiedly and was about to speak, but Shi Yuan stopped her. Then, from behind him, he took out the improved "earth gun"!
