"Chen Wei, this is all your fault. If you hadn't escaped in the battle, how could you be so defeated outside the city? Now that the eight thousand cavalrymen have lost their opponents, you will be in danger of death!"

Chen Wei's angry accusations made Xiao Han suddenly come to his senses. He pointed at Chen Wei, who was covered in embarrassment and shouted. The first battle failed, not only did the Chuzhou army lined up outside the city lose most of the losses, but now the cavalry he brought also lost more than 8,000 people.

Thinking of insisting on defending the king's order before leaving, Xiao Han felt cold. If Chuzhou is lost, there must be a scapegoat to bear all the faults for him. This Chuzhou Governor Chen Wei is undoubtedly the most suitable person.

Chen Wei was furious when he heard this, and he shouted: "It's obvious that you are greedy for me, but how did you frame me again? This defeat will definitely report to His Highness the King of Wei in detail."

"Bold, you dare to slander me. Don't forget that you are just a slave to the Wei Palace." Xiao Han's eyes were filled with disdain, and then he said to the guards beside him, "Chuzhou Governor Chen Wei, Lian Zhan, escaped, was extremely guilty, and he was taken down by me and imprisoned in prison."

As soon as Xiao Han said, the captain on the city wall hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you must not. Now the only one who can turn the tide is Governor Chen. If the Chuzhou city is out of command from Governor Chen, the Chuzhou army will inevitably be in chaos."

"The Chuzhou army has been killed by the Southern Expedition Army, and there are still a few people left. Now this Chuzhou City relies on the men and horses brought by Xiao Wang. The 100,000 soldiers and the remaining 20,000 cavalry cannot defeat the Southern Expedition Army. Can't you still defend the Chuzhou City?" Xiao Han said coldly.

When he entered the city, he was still a little afraid of Chen Wei, but after most of the Chuzhou army outside the city lost, he no longer feared Chen Wei. After all, what can a general without soldiers do?

After waved his hand, he still asked his personal guard to pull Chen Wei down.

The quarrel on the city wall did not escape Lu Fei's observation.

He said to Luo Hong; "Chen Wei seems to have been arrested."

"That's great, Xiao Han's is simply a self-destructive." Luo Hong said. He had seen Xiao Han when he was in Chang'an before, so when Xiao Han appeared on the top of the city, he recognized him at first sight.

He picked up the telescope and confirmed it. Xiao Han continued, "General, Chen Wei is a talented person. This man was born in the Chen family in Chuzhou, but he did not have the arrogance of a noble family. In the army, he and the soldiers ate and lived with each other and were very considerate to the soldiers. Because of this reason, the combat power of the Chuzhou army was better than that of other Wei troops."

Lu Fei nodded. When the two armies were facing each other, Chen Wei adopted the right strategy. If this time it was not a fraudulent defeat, but a direct confrontation, although they could win completely, the losses would be considerable.

Because these Chuzhou troops are completely a desperate fight, the morale of the Chuzhou troops can be seen.

"Looking at this, Xiao Han seemed to want to use Chen Wei as a scapegoat. This cavalry has always been the treasure of the King of Wei. Now that he has lost so much, the King of Wei will definitely blame him, but no matter what, this is a good thing for us." Lu Fei said slowly.

Luo Xin asked at this time, "Are you going to shell the city of Chuzhou?"

"No need, now the King of Wei has sent 130,000 troops into a small city of Chuzhou. The food and grass in this city will inevitably be unsustainable and can only be allocated from other cities. If so, we will continue to surround and not attack, and we just need to cut off their supply line." Lu Fei said.

Bai Mu returned at this time, and he said, "Leave the matter of attacking the supply line to the Mo General."

From Huaizhou to Jinling City, it was the time to give full play to the advantages of the cavalry. He said, "Well, you are the only one who is the most suitable for this matter."

After deciding to encircle Chuzhou City, Lu Fei asked Luo Hong to lead a musket team to cut the official road on the south side of Chuzhou City in half. As a result, Chuzhou City was completely besieged by the Southern Expedition Army.

Faced with the unpredictable deployment of the Nanzheng Army, no army in Chuzhou City dared to come out to fight, and Xiao Han could only watch as Chuzhou City was trapped on all sides.

Seeing this, he immediately sent a letter to send a message to Jinling City, hoping to attack the Nanzheng Army from both inside and outside.

At the same time, Ye Qingyun, with the help of sixteen warships and fifty large merchant ships, loaded the soldiers on board at night. The next day, the fleet headed directly towards Jinling City along the Yangtze River.

It has to be said that this time the landing in Jinling City was an adventure military operation. If this battle can be successful, it can capture Jinling City in one fell swoop and even capture the King of Wei. In this way, the Wei city will be easily defeated like a group of dragons without a head.

However, according to the information provided by Li San, the King of Wei placed most of the artillery purchased from Qingzhou in Jinling City, and there were even musket teams in the city. Compared with other cities, Jinling City is a tough problem.

"Set off!"

At the scheduled time, the battleship carried the Dengzhou army and the recruited recruits toward Jinling City. On the deck of the flagship, Ye Qingyun walked to Yue Yun and stood side by side with a sharp look.

Yue Yun smiled and said, "After two battles, Governor Ye has become much older."

"General Yue laughed, but he only saw the King of Wei's atrocities in Yangzhou."

Yue Yun was silent for a while, and he said, "I have heard of this matter. The collapse of the Great Chongqing Kingdom is the people who suffer the most. Because of this, we will support Your Highness to restore the orthodox of the Great Chongqing Kingdom."

Ye Qingyun looked firm and said, "General Yue said nothing badly. The great troubles of the barbarians in the north have not been eliminated. We should solve the problems in Dayu as soon as possible."

"It's not just the barbarians, but the real enemy of Dayu is on the sea." Yue Yun frowned.

"Oh? I wonder what General Yue has to say?"

After receiving Xiao Ming's order, Yue Yun came to Tongzhou. At the same time, he left a thousand soldiers stationed in the Sanshan Kingdom to ensure the safety of the Sanshan Kingdom. He said: "In addition to the barbarians, there is also Japan. Today's Japan is also equipped with a mesh rope gun, and has been trained by the Dutch. The battle with it is bound to be different from the vassal kings of the Great Yu Kingdom."

"Secondly, Western countries outside Japan are extending their tentacles to the Great Yu Kingdom. The Dutch have reminded His Highness that there will definitely be a battle at that time."

Ye Qingyun shook his head when he heard this, "The Great Chongqing Kingdom is really full of disasters and difficulties, but it is still in a troublesome autumn. If so, then we should settle the country sooner."

Speaking of this, Ye Qingyun realized why Xiao Ming wanted to take Jinling City directly to end the war in Wei as soon as possible.

The current Dayu Kingdom only has the bloodline of Wei, Yong, and Qi, and the royal family. Other cities are occupied by vassal kings of different surnames. Only by taking over the rich Wei land and controlling the ore source can they have the capital to fight alone in the world.
