The situation in Kunling County changed, it was like June. The boy's face changed, so fast that it was hard to catch up. The day before, Bian Wushuang had the upper hand, and Zhou Jiyun was facing a desperate situation, but in a blink of an eye, the situation suddenly changed. Bian Wushuang suffered a great loss, and the entire army suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat to Kunling County.

In Luzhou, Zhou Jiyun, who was the first to get the news, finally showed his qualifications as a famous general again. Using the time difference in message transmission, he deliberately pretended to want a hero to cut off his arm and withdraw his main force back to Xiaoshi City at a low price to repel Bian Wushuang. Finally, he successfully made the last general Xu Junsheng fool.

With careful preparation and planning in advance, the battle of chasing and annihilation that Xu Junsheng thought turned into a battle in which the Luzhou army was ambushed and raided by Zhou's troops. Although the Luzhou army was large in number, in terms of combat effectiveness, the Zhou army was still much stronger. After a big battle, Xu Junsheng lost a lot. This time it was not a planned retreat, but was really defeated. Zhou Jiyun chased his butt and rushed to the city of Luzhou.

Xu Junsheng sent a 100,000 urgent letter of help to Chang'an.

When the news came out, Luoyang, Qi, celebrated each other with great enthusiasm, and the rebellion became even more intense, but Chang'an was frightened and furious. Under the leadership of Guo Xiancheng, a Longxiang army rushed to Luzhou day and night. If Luzhou was lost, Zhou Jiyun could almost rush his army to Chang'an, which echoed Luoyang. If this is true, the situation in the country was originally extremely subtle, but I am afraid that Luoyang would immediately form a very favorable situation.

Xu Junsheng's defeat immediately shocked Jie Bao, who was in the other direction, and while glad that he was slow to advance, Jie Bao quickly retreated to Cangzhou and once again became a turtle with a head-shrinking turtle.

Wulin had no time to pay attention to him. As soon as Jie Bao retreated, he immediately led the army stationed in Tongfang to march towards Kunling County. At the same time, the 10,000 cavalry led by Jiang Shangyan also rushed into Kunling County.

Ten days later, the Han Huafeng unit of the Tianwu Escort Agency, which was led by Yang Zhi, and more than 10,000 Jiangnan bandits, also entered Kunling County. Although the Guanning headquarters in Xiaoshi City suffered heavy losses, the escorts of the Mingwei Escort Agency scattered everywhere also received an emergency order to gather, and they flocked to Kunling County from all over the place and gathered under Guanning's command. In a very short time, the Guanning troops recovered to 3,000 people. Guanning, who had recovered his combat effectiveness, also arrived near Kunling County with this team, and joined forces with the cavalry of Jiangshangyan, threatening Kunling County.

The operation to capture Kunling County carefully planned by Bian Wushuang was half successful. He did successfully occupy Kunling County and obtained the abundant supplies in Kunling County, temporarily resolving the logistics problems, but for the entire army, it was not much different from its previous experience and was still in a desperate situation.

This time, not only the officers and soldiers of the Bian army, but also Bian Wushuang himself finally felt completely desperate.

Compared with the clouds in Kunling County, where the war is covered with clouds and is likely to start fighting at any time, the four counties in Jiangnan are changing in a good direction at an incredible speed.

The problem of the four counties in Jiangnan is ultimately a problem of food. When countless merchant ships from the Ming Dynasty arrived in the four counties in Jiangnan along the river that Ning Zhiwen had been separated from the river, when bags of grain were unloaded from the ship under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, and when grain stores reopened and the grain prices stabilized at the level before the outbreak of the grain shortage, the originally chaotic situation suddenly calmed down.

When the ship came, they brought ships of grain. When the ship left, they took ships of silk. Countless weaving factories and silk reeling factories in Jiangnan reopened. Those who picked up sticks, knives and forks to riot to fill their stomachs threw away their weapons and walked back to the factory. They began to exchange their skills and labor for one piece of Ming Dynasty banknote, and then used these Ming Dynasty banknotes to exchange for grain shops for grain.

For them, as long as they have a stable meal, who would be willing to do the job of putting their heads on their belts?

Of course, there are also many heroes with dissatisfaction. When the Jiangnan chaos was in chaos, they thought that their own opportunities had come, so they set up big chess and rose up, and wanted to take the opportunity to do something. However, their careers had not yet really started, just like the snow in winter encountered the sun, and they instantly melted completely. The food sent by the ships and the silk transported by ships completely collapsed their foundation for doing big things. At this time, those who saw the opportunity quickly tore up the flag and dismissed their subordinates, and they also lowered their eyebrows and became a good person who abides by the law. Those who didn't know the opportunity wanted to jump a few times to reflect their existence. Under the rapid attack of the navy and marines entering the Jiangnan region, whether you are a tiger occupying the mountains or a dragon entrenching rivers and lakes, all of them were cut off and became markers to warn the world.

Jiangnan is calm.

But this peace does not belong to the State of Chu.

He started to create wealth again.

But the wealth he created had no relationship with the Chu court again.

Although the four counties in Jiangnan have not yet hung the Sun and Moon Flags of the Ming Dynasty, the Fire Phoenix Flag, which has been flying here for more than a hundred years, has fallen the last curtain in this cold winter.

Within the four counties, whether it is officials, gentry, forced or happy, they all recognized a reality. The Chu court now did not care about them at all. The Ming people have become the real master of this place. Zeng Lin, the de facto leader of the six eastern counties, has shown everything.

Even a giant Chu like Zeng Lin has surrendered to the Ming Kingdom. What is it that they can do with the trend? Even if later historical books will criticize them, I think Zeng Lin will be specially written by a big book, and they will only briefly mention it in the end, perhaps even their names will not be left behind.

The months of turmoil that have just been experienced really made Jiangnan, a place where peace lasted for too long, experience too much pain. The longer the peace is, the less willing the people will experience the pain of war again. Seeing a leaf, you will know the autumn. People in the six eastern counties have experienced the pain and struggles over the years. They see one by one, one by one, and they don’t want to experience these pains one by one.

It is better to be a peaceful dog than a person in troubled times.

In this cold winter, people from the four counties in Jiangnan finally realized how this sentence truly depicts the tragic scene in the chaotic world. When food famine broke out and chaos broke out, human life was really as cheap as grass.

They want to live peacefully, make money and get rich and pass on the wealth they have earned from their hardships to their children and grandchildren, instead of wandering around with their families and living a life of terrible and unpredictable life.

The four counties in Jiangnan calmly accepted the fact that the Ming people arrived.

For everyone, life is no different from usual. Farmers and fishermen work from sunrise to sunset, workers reel silk and weave cloth in factories, merchants are busy trading, and they are still surrounded by familiar faces. Those who manage them are still those officials in the past, and the taxes they should pay have to be paid, and everything is the same as usual.

The Ming people did come, but they seemed to be unable to see them. After spending the first few days of fear, the four counties in Jiangnan were completely relieved.

This is pretty good.

The people of Jiangnan did not feel much change, but regarded this painful experience in winter as a nightmare. Now that the dream has passed, they naturally returned to the familiar life scene. They should do whatever they should do. But for the Chu court, what happened in the six eastern counties and Jiangnan during this winter was like thunders blowing them up to death.

First, there was a shortage of food in the south of the Yangtze River, and they were helpless. Now even going to the capital was just to protect themselves. Where did they get the remaining energy to rescue Jiangnan? Then there was a civil war in the six eastern counties. In the eyes of the Chu court, the battle between Bian Wushuang and Zeng Lin was indeed a civil strife and they could do nothing.

Until this time, the Chu court had not fully understood Zeng Lin's attitude. Until Quanzhou's grain ships continued to move south and the Ming army landed in Jinghu and Jiangnan, Min Ruoying finally understood that Zeng Lin, the government's minister whom he once thought, had long become a lackey of the Ming people.

Before Min Ruoying could get angry, the newly appointed commander of the inner guard Lei Wei was loyal to his duties and sent information from the six eastern counties and four Jiangnan counties to his desk.

All facts have shown that the six eastern counties and the four Jiangnan counties are not the territory of Da Chu. Whether it is Zeng Lin or the four Jiangnan counties, they have been occupied by the Ming Dynasty on the facts.

In addition to being shocked and angry, Min Ruoying immediately ordered the Western army commanded by Suqian stationed in Tianjin to attack the six eastern counties immediately, but was rejected by Suqian and also opposed by the imperial ministers. Jinzhou is the gateway to Shangjing City. If there is no large army stationed, if there is a problem, Shangjing City will immediately be in turmoil. Although it is now in panic.

But is Suqian trustworthy? Min Ruoying no longer dares to think about this problem. Similarly, the important officials of the court dare not think about it. Suqian has been stationed in the six eastern counties for several years, and he can be regarded as Zeng Lin's old subordinate.

Min Ruoying had thought about this problem when replacing Suqian, but as soon as this idea came out, he immediately extinguished him. He really dared to do this, but he was afraid that Suqian would turn its back on the scene immediately.

Looking around, Min Ruoying didn't know that he could still believe that local ministers or generals. Xinning Wu Teng? Anyang Zhu Yi? Are they loyal to the court? So far, the court's order to mobilize money and grain received a different echo? Guan Hongyu obediently brought his troops to Xuzhou, but Guan Hong had a close relationship with Zhu Yi. Who knows what they thought? Are these people all the same as Zeng Lin?

Min Ruoying was trapped in the deep palace and could not do anything.
