Jiang Xia used a trick to delay Zhu Chenhao for fourteen days, and it was these fourteen days that Zhu Chenhao would only be a tragedy.

As early as fourteen days ago, Jiang Xia had already handed over the news to Jiujiang, telling them that King Ning rebelled, and that the first person to attack was probably Jiujiang.

In order to protect himself, Jiujiang directly concentrated all the troops in Jiujiang to Anqing Prefecture in accordance with Jiang Xia's suggestion. At the same time, after receiving the news from Jiang Xia, Nanjing also sent some troops to Anqing to help with defense. Although the troops were not large, they were better than nothing.

During the fourteen days when Zhu Chenhao was still in control, Zhu Houzhao also led the army to Jiangxi. However, when Zhu Houzhao thought that Jiangxia was present in Jiangxi, he was not nervous at all, and the marching speed was not very fast. Every past experience made Zhu Houzhao sure that as long as Jiangxia was present, there would be no major mistakes.

Zhu Houzhao was not nervous, but there was one person who was already nervous. This person was Liu Jin.

In order to restore the guards of the Ningwang Mansion, Zhu Chenhao bribed many officials from all over the capital, but after all, Liu Jin was the one who contributed the most in this matter.

Now Zhu Houzhao takes the army to Jiangxi. If Zhu Chenhao really defeats Zhu Chenhao, not to mention that Zhu Chenhao confesses his tricks, even if he copys Zhu Chenhao's mansion, he will definitely be able to easily find a large number of letters from him and Zhu Chenhao.

If those letters were seen by Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin knew that he had a hundred heads that were not enough to cut.

So Liu Jin tried his best to stop Zhu Houzhao from rushing to Jiangxi slowly so that he could give Zhu Chenhao time to take Nanjing. In this way, he would have time to slowly destroy the evidence of his collusion with Zhu Chenhao.

To this end, Liu Jin sent people to poison the horses that suppressed the rebellious army, so that the horses could not walk. He also arranged for people to break the bridge they had to cross along the way to slow down the speed of Zhu Houzhao and their marching.

In Liu Jin's heart, he had already cursed Zhu Chenhao's ancestors for 180 generations. He originally thought that this was quite strategic, but he did not expect that he would be like a fool after meeting Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia just used a little trick and asked him to kill his two major strategists with his own hands, and he also held his troops for fourteen days, throwing away all the initiatives for rebellion one by one.

In fact, Liu Jin didn't understand that Jiang Xia boldly used such a strategy because he understood very well that the smarter the person is, the more suspicious they are. They always like to weigh everything and control everything. They often have to make sure that they can take action after they are almost sure.

It is because of this that King Ning was deceived.

In other words, the reason why King Ning was deceived was not because he was stupid, but because he was too cautious.

Liu Jin is now heading to Jiangxi, and he must first arrive in Jiangxi before Zhu Houzhao so that he can do something in Jiangxi and ensure that nothing happens to him.

Zhu Chenhao led his 70,000 troops to attack Jiujiang, and it seemed that he was so powerful that he could not stop him.

But after he entered Jiujiang, he realized that Jiujiang seemed to have become deserted wasteland. He walked through several counties and rarely even encountered people.

Zhu Chenhao realized that the officials in Jiujiang actually played a trick of clearing the wilderness with him.

This feeling is very bad, very bad, very bad, it's like you clenched your fist and used all your strength. Originally, you were going to knock down your opponent with a hard punch. But your opponent has no moral integrity at all, and he just turned around and ran away. Before running away, he even threw your face with a big snot on his face.

Zhu Chenhao suppressed his anger and directly led the army to Anqing.

To go to Nanjing, you must first pass through Anqing. Anqing has already prepared a big meal to entertain Zhu Chenhao. As soon as he entered Anqing, Zhu Chenhao's army encountered a small-scale attack.

Although this attack did not cause any major losses to Zhu Chenhao's army, it made Zhu Chenhao feel that An Qing might not be as easy to fight as he imagined.

Sure enough, when he officially arrived at the city of Anqing, the city defense in Anqing was much tighter than he thought, and there were also many soldiers guarding the city.

On the first day of siege, Zhu Chenhao's troops were greatly damaged.

An Qing, who originally thought it was within reach, suddenly turned into a difficult bone.

Zhu Chenhao spent five days and four nights in Anqing, and almost slowly grindled Anqing.

After all, Anqing was short of troops, so the officials in the city had to evacuate Anqing with the people in Anqing.

After finally capturing Anqing, Zhu Chenhao had not had time to breathe. The messenger who came from Nanchang brought Zhu Chenhao a message that he almost vomited blood when he did not exclaim Zhu Chenhao - Wang Shouren was leading the army to attack Nanchang Prefecture.

Nanchang is the foundation of Zhu Chenhao. If Nanchang is lost and Nanjing has not been taken down yet, then the tens of thousands of troops in his hands are of no use at all, which is equivalent to a tributary army.

Zhu Chenhao did not dare to delay. Before An Qing, who had just been hit, even his butt was hot, he immediately led his army to Nanchang.

While Zhu Chenhao was rushing to Nanchang, Jiang Xia and Wang Shouren also rushed towards Anqing with their own troops.

On the way, Wang Shouren was a little puzzled and asked Jiang Xia who was following him on a horse: "Brother Jiang, we have fewer troops than King Ning. Why don't we just capture Nanchang, where the troops are empty, and instead take the initiative to rush to Anqing to fight against King Ning head-on?"

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Who said we were going to Anqing?"

"Oh? Where is that going?"

Jiang Xia tied the reins and slowed down the horse under her crotch. Wang Shouren also quickly controlled the horse's speed and followed Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia took out a map painted on paper from his arms and handed it to Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren took the map and looked at it. There was a mark of Jiang Xia on the map. Wang Shouren understood at first glance. He smiled and shook his head and said, "Fortunately, you are a member of the Ming Dynasty and a loyal minister. Otherwise, if you become an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, it would probably be the biggest disaster for the entire Ming Dynasty."

Jiang Xia shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Why do you always praise people so uniquely?"

Wang Shouren laughed twice, shook the reins and drove the horse forward quickly.

In order to quickly return to Nanchang, Zhu Chenhao took the army on a boat to cross Panyang Lake directly to Nanchang.

In the morning, thick fog rose on the surface of Panyang Lake. Zhu Chenhao's army sailed to the south bank of Panyang Lake in a boat.

Suddenly, light boats filled with hay appeared on the lake. The light boats almost filled the entire lake, and the boats carrying Zhu Chenhao and his soldiers tied the lake tightly in the lake covered with light boats.

Zhu Chenhao just felt something was strange when a voice suddenly came out: "Your Highness Ning, Jiang Xia has been waiting for you here for a long time."

"Jiang Xia?" Zhu Chenhao was shocked. He didn't even know when Jiang Xia got involved in this matter.

Zhu Chenhao was trapped in his heart and hurriedly shouted: "Retreat! Retreat! Retreat immediately!"

Whoosh swosh swosh swosh

The arrows burning on the arrow suddenly shot out from the thick fog. The hay contained in the boat had been dripped with tinder oil. Suddenly the arrows shot on the hay, and the fire started to burn.

The fires spread to each other, and the entire Panyang Lake seemed to suddenly turn into a sea of ​​fire.

Although the ships carrying the Ning Wang army tried their best to retreat, they could not retreat in time. The fire suddenly spread to their ships, and the more they burned, the more they burned.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Zhu Chenhao shouted loudly on the boat, and finally escaped with some of the ships.

But not long after retreating, Zhu Chenhao saw that countless boats on the lake ahead had blocked his way, and the boats were filled with Ming soldiers with distinct armor.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Zhu Chenhao felt a chill of air rushing towards his forehead from the soles of his feet.

He has always thought of all kinds of glory after the success of the rebellion, and at this moment he thought of the huge consequences he would bear after the failure of the rebellion.

Of course, not only did he think of it, but his sergeants also thought of it.

As this scene happened in front of you, who wouldn’t understand that he was trapped?

A light boat carried Jiang Xia and Wang Shouren out.

The fire dispelled the thick fog, and the vision in front of me seemed to be suddenly clear.

A pair of silver and purple clothes, a very gorgeous cross-collar neckline, a folding fan that gently swayed, a tall and handsome young man who seemed to be in his control.

The powerful aura emitted by Jiang Xia seemed to make people feel that he had control over everything and no one could reverse the current situation anymore.

Jiang Xia said loudly: "The emperor is wise and knows that you are not voluntarily rebelling, but are enslaved by King Ning. Therefore, you have now brought down your great emperor's kindness. As long as you put down your weapons and raise your hands above your head, you can be exempted from death!

If I don’t believe what I say, let the Governor of Jiangxi, Wang Shouren, officially announce it to everyone.”

After saying that, Jiang Xia took a step back and highlighted Wang Shouren. He also made a "please" move, which seemed to be saying that the stage was handed over to you now.

Wang Shouren smiled helplessly and said, "Everything that the Marquis of Long Hunting is true. If you don't want to lose your life, you should surrender quickly."

Who can't understand the current situation? The soldiers under King Ning looked at each other and began to stir up.

Zhu Chenhao suddenly panicked and shouted: "Who dares, who dares to surrender? Let me fight out and fight out!"

Wow

Suddenly, a person jumped out of the water of the boat that Zhu Chenhao was riding. Before Zhu Chenhao could react, a long sword was already on Zhu Chenhao's neck.

This person is Xiao Sha.

Xiao Sha's sudden appearance was like the last straw that crushed the camel. Jiang Xia roared: "The rebel King Ning has been captured, and the soldiers obey the orders. If you don't surrender at this moment, you will be killed without any punishment!"

"I surrender, I surrender"

When the first voice of surrender came out, a chain reaction occurred, and more and more people surrendered.

King Ning was defeated.

Seeing the soldiers who threw away their weapons and held their hands, King Ning suddenly collapsed on the deck.
Chapter completed!
