At that time, Zhu Mai, the eldest princess Zhu, who was under house arrest by Wu Zheng, learned about this and sent someone to secretly contact Fang Guoan through Wu Xiaomei and Zhou Simin.

In fact, Zhu Mai was wronged by Wu Xiaomei.

Because Wu Zheng set up this situation after the students and Weaver Girls in various prefectures started to cause trouble, that is to say, Zhu Mai was in the front and Wu Zheng reacted later.

Zhu Mai was accusing Wu Xiaomei of informing Wu Zheng in advance, but Wu Xiaomei secretly conspired with the ministers of the General's Mansion to dig a hole for her, which was wronged.

Wu Zheng and Wu Xiaomei, Wu Zheng and the Dukes of the General's Mansion, Wu Zheng and Changlin Wei, these three connection lines are independent and do not interfere with each other.

In other words, Wu Xiaomei didn't know that the general's mansion had already been informed by Wu Zheng, and vice versa.

The one who really allowed Zhu Mei to leave successfully in Wu Xiaomei's car was Lord Fang Guoan, who was the right governor at the time.

He is the only one who can let the patrols and the city gate guards sell his face and pass smoothly without checking the car. Otherwise, even if Wu Xiaomei is the princess, she still needs to check it.

Xiong Rulin can't do this, Zhang Guowei can't do it for the time being, and Zhang Huangyan can't do it.

During the Yingtian Prefecture Incident, Wu Zheng suddenly realized that there was an internal thief in Hangzhou Prefecture, and also realized that there was something wrong with Fang Guoan, which made Song An remove his military post at that time, rush back to Hangzhou Prefecture, and secretly control Fang Guoan.

Unfortunately, when the news of the great change in the capital reached Hangzhou Prefecture, Fang Guoan realized that something was wrong. Because Zhu Mo's death made his hopes shattered, and the death of Emperor Zhu Lianbi made him lose hope for the future.

If support fails, backlash is inevitable.

Fang Guoan began to secretly contact his old subordinates.

Song An's return made him even more alert.

After all, Song An lacks experience and experience. Before leaving, Wu Zheng specifically told him to protect his family first after he went back. Song An executed it without fail. As soon as he arrived in Hangzhou, he protected the son and daughter of Princess Qian Jinxuan and Wu Zheng.

Wu Xiaomei and Zhou Simin have already followed Zhu Mei to Yingtian Prefecture, so they are naturally not among the protections of Song An's trip.

But Song An forgot someone, Wu Zheng's father, Wu Bochang, and Wu Laozi.

Saying forgetting is not very accurate, it should be a negligence.

In Song An's opinion, Mr. Wu is the dean of Jiangnan College, and he has no choice but to fight against power. He has always been in the easy-to-use school and has been away from the royal palace for a long time. Fang Guoan should not be detrimental to Mr. Wu in full view of thousands of teachers and students in the college.

But Song An forgot that the rabbit was forced to bite people even if it was too late!

Fang Guoan's old subordinates were not many in Hangzhou Prefecture. Most of the remaining subordinates at that time were sent to the military academy by Wu Zheng and scattered in various guards after they were sent to the military academy.

But not much does not mean that there is no. Fang Guoan was not a prisoner surrender, but surrendered. His personal guard was still retained, but was scattered and placed in the Hangzhou City Guard Camp.

But because of this, Fang Guoan, who had a strange intention, could successfully contact his old subordinates. When Song An strictly protected the people in the throne, Fang Guoan realized that there was not much time, so he turned his attention to Jiangnan College.

Just two days ago, Fang Guoan gathered more than 100 old subordinates and rushed into Jiangnan College. In the eyes of teachers and students in the school, he kidnapped Mr. Wu who was preparing to teach.

The teachers and students who were indignant of righteous indignation stepped forward and stopped them, and were killed and injured dozens of people on the spot.

Yes, how could scholars who are powerless to tie up are these long-standing rivals to kill embryos?

When Song An, who had arrived from the palace after hearing the news, arrived, Fang Guoan had already taken Mr. Wu hostage and retreated towards Baiyangchi.

He just transferred the conversation from the college students to An, and he only had one request - pardon!

Moreover, it was not a verbal pardon for Wu Zheng, but it must be pardoned by the court by imperial edict.

This matter is too big, and Song An dared not make any decisions, so he could only send someone to report to Wu Zheng urgently.

....

The war is imminent, and there are always problems where the problem should not occur.

Wu Zheng heard the news and was anxious. Can't the damn Song An be more flexible?

Promise Fang Guoan, that is, rescue the person first, that is the main business.

So, Wu Zheng ordered the messenger to rush back immediately, asking Song An to agree to all the requests of Fang Guoan, and at the same time sent someone to Yingtian Prefecture and asked Wang Yi to issue an edict to pardon Fang Guoan in the name of the cabinet.

Wu Zheng did not rush back to Hangzhou Prefecture immediately and personally dealt with the matter.

Because, the battle in Suzhou started.

It was the first counterattack launched by the Northern Expedition Army.

Chen Zhiyuan unexpectedly raided Boro's forward camp with his old spear.

Because the incident happened suddenly, the results of the battle were quite large. More than 100 enemies were wiped out, countless injured people, and the grain piles in the camp were burned.

Although this loss was not even considered a fur for the tens of thousands of troops of Boluo, it did greatly boost the soldiers who were sluggish in Suzhou City.

But how could Boro be together?

Chen Zhiyuan's sneak attack was equivalent to the time of Boluo's general attack.

In the early morning of the next day, the Qing army bombed the north gate of Suzhou City with more than 30 red cannons, and no less than 6,000 infantry troops launched a strong attack on Suzhou City. Countless lancers appeared on the battlefield and detoured to the east and west sides. Some of the rangers used their extremely accurate cavalry and shooting skills to shoot and suppress the defenders on the city.

What made Wu Zheng the most headache was that Yue Le's troops in the east also crossed the river and launched an attack on Huai'an Prefecture.

It is true that blessings come unparalleled, but misfortunes never come in singularly.

....

After two consecutive days of fierce fighting, the Northern Expedition Army gradually showed a "decline".

First, the Lu Zhiyuan and Chi Erhan tribes began to retreat to Yangzhou Prefecture as a whole.

Countless people with high expectations had to follow the army to flee south. There was obviously a little doubt in their eyes when they looked at the soldiers.

Huai'an City changed hands, which showed that the entire Huai'an City was in decline.

The Qing army could unscrupulously surround the fat piece of Yangzhou Prefecture.

What's wrong with the invincible Northern Expedition Army?

He was driven back to Huaian from Shandong. At this time, can't even defend Huaian?

The situation in Suzhou City is also in danger. Suzhou is a small city and it is difficult to bear the decisive battle of such a scale between the two sides.

Under Boluo's strong attack, Chen Sheng's main force began to retreat south, and Chen Zhiyuan led the far-reaching troops to cut off the rear.

The battle reports came like flying snow and fell in front of Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng didn't go to see it, nor did he want to see it. He knew what those were.

Wu Zheng's face was as iron as iron, carrying his hands on his back, just looking at the map silently.

I said to myself, keep calm, it's still a little short, it's only a little short, if you endure it, everything will pass!

But Wu Zheng knew that the enemy was advancing too fast, which would quickly break through the bottom of the furnace that had been built with great difficulty.

The enemy's speed of going south must be slowed down!

Wu Zheng irritatedly and beat the table with his fists. Chen Zhiyuan, what are you doing?!
Chapter completed!
