In fact, at this time, not only the people who left Nanjing City were afraid of death and fleeing, but also some other people.

Zhu Cilang led three thousand knights to advance quickly and arrived in Shanyang City on that day.

In the evening, Zhu Cixuan was studying the list given by Shi Kefa in the tent, considering how many people he was going to kill, Fang Gonggan's voice rang out: "Your Highness, there is a messenger from Nanjing!"

Zhu Cilang naturally summoned this person immediately.

This messenger is not official, but comes from the Dongchang people. Strictly speaking, he is Zhu Cixuan's subordinates.

Zhu Cixuan looked at the dusty other party and asked, "What's the situation in Nanjing now?"

The messenger said: "If you go back to your highness, when your subordinates left the city, at least 30% of the 100 people in Nanjing were gone, and this number was still growing."

Zhu Cilang: “…”

These guys really have no confidence in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cixuan said: "Don't the local officials even know about the city lockdown?"

The messenger spread his hands: "I don't know about this subordinate, at least the city has not started to be closed down when the subordinate came out."

Zhu Ciyang nodded and asked again: "Do you know the current location of Zuo Liangyu's troops?"

The messenger said: "I know this. Zuo Liangyu had conquered Anqing Prefecture ten days ago and was besieging Guichi City in Chizhou Prefecture five days ago. Both Anqing and Guichi Guards were very empty. At this time, Zuo Liangyu was very likely to have conquered Guichi City."

Zhu Cilan looked at the map and his expression gradually became serious.

After conquering Guichi, it is actually not far from Nanjing.

You should know that Zuo Liangyu was not walking. He led his fleet down the Yangtze River to attack. Even if the water flow in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River cannot reach the speed of "a thousand miles of Jiangling in one day", it is actually only three or four days.

Of course, this is just considering the speed of the ship. In fact, Zuo Liangyu must have conquered the city all the way to replenish the supplies, so it is crucial to how long the cities in front of him can last.

"I guess it won't last long." Zhu Cilang shook his head.

There were no decent regular troops in these cities, and there were no troops in Nanjing. Otherwise, why would Zhu Cixuan go south in a hurry?

When Fang Gonggan heard this, he couldn't help but mutter: "When Ma Shiying went north to serve the king, he really didn't know how to stay at all?"

Zhu Ciyang sighed: "Actually, Isn't Zuo Liangyu the soldier who stayed?"

Fang Gonggan: "..."

Indeed, when Ma Shiying and Zuo Menggeng went north, Zuo Liangyu was still in charge of Hubei with 100,000 troops. Who knew that in the past few months, Zuo Liangyu had become the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, which was outrageous.

Zhu Cilang thought about it again and felt that the reason why Zuo Liangyu betrayed the Ming Dynasty should have a very important causal relationship with Zhu Cilang killing Zuo Menggeng on the spot...

OK, I will clean up the mess I have made by myself, there is nothing wrong with it.

Zhu Cixuan's eyes turned and said in a deep voice: "Come on, go and call General Gao and Lord Shi."

After a while, Gao Dejie and Shi Kefa, who came to Zhu Cixuan, listened to the statement, their expressions were also very serious.

Shi Kefa said: "Your Highness, I think that the morale in Nanjing has basically been lost, and there are actually many people in the city who have been secretly colluding with Zuo Liangyu. If Zuo Liangyu arrived in Nanjing before us, it is not ruled out that these people would surrender directly to Xiancheng."

Gao Dejie immediately snorted: "These damn traitors!"

Zhu Cilang also frowned. Nanjing was the first capital of the Ming Dynasty. Even if he still played the role of a capital, if he was really taken down by Zuo Liangyu, it would be a major blow to the morale of tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty.

After working hard to win several battles, we can't just be so slaughtered by this old boy Zuo Liangyu!

Zhu Cilang's eyes turned, looked at Shi Kefa, and smiled and said, "Sir Shi, I will give you a task..."

At this moment, the system's voice rang in Zhu Cilang's mind: "Activate the next sign-in location, Nanjing City, and please arrive within fifteen days!"

On the same night, Zuo Liangyu was also having a meeting.

Just as Zhu Cilang expected, Zuo Liangyu had conquered Guichi three days ago, and he had even gone downstairs to conquer another city in Chizhou Prefecture - Tongling!

Zuo Liangyu's eyes were bright and he swept across all his subordinates in front of him.

After losing to Zhang Xianzhong, these subordinates were once a little sluggish, but with the victory after advancing eastward, their spirits returned again.

Not only that, Zuo Liangyu's troops also successfully expanded from 20,000 remaining soldiers at the beginning to 50,000 now.

Although most of these 50,000 people were forced to capture strong men, who did not expand their troops in this era?

As long as you practice hard in time, you will be a real soldier of 50,000 yuan.

If Nanjing can be captured and then swept across Suzhou, Hangzhou and Yangzhou, 100,000 troops will be no problem!

Thinking of this, Zuo Liangyu's mood became more and more comfortable, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She thought to herself: "Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong, you really think I don't know this trick of causing trouble? Look, when I grow stronger, I will come back to seek revenge for you. But next time, there will be no room for you, Zhang Xianzhong to play with conspiracies!"

Zuo Liangyu took back his mind and said to everyone in front of him: "Everyone should know that now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. All the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have been dealing with Jiannu in the north. The Jiangnan area centered on Nanjing is completely a piece of fat that is unattended. As long as we take this place down, we can use this place as the foundation to reproduce the great cause of the Ming Taizu. By that time, you will be founding heroes!"

Anyway, the matter has been broken up with the court now, so Zuo Liangyu naturally dares to say whatever promise he promised, without any silence.

After hearing this, Zuo Liangyu's subordinates were also excited: "The king is wise!" "We are willing to take Nanjing for the king!" "I am willing to follow the king to create a new foundation!"

Everyone was not stupid, so they just made a big king to arrange it first. When they took Nanjing, they would be a big show in minutes, and then they would open up a dynasty...

In short, Zuo Liangyu and his subordinates are very excited now, and they all feel that victory is close to you!

A spy arrived at the speed and respectfully said to Zuo Liangyu: "King, the news I just received has been heard that the court sent the crown prince Zhu Cilang to lead three thousand cavalry and has entered the territory of Nanzhili."

Zuo Liangyu was startled at first, then couldn't help laughing, and even her nose almost burst out.

"Three thousand cavalry? That's it?"
Chapter completed!
