,,In the city of Nanjing, Zhu Cilang got the news.

"A new fleet is coming from the upstream?"

After hearing the news, Zhu Cilang frowned slightly.

Obviously, Li Dingguo came to reinforcements.

Zhu Cixuan asked, "Can you see how many new reinforcements are there?"

Fang Gong Main Road: "The distance is too far and cannot be seen clearly, but judging from the size of the fleet, carrying thousands or even tens of thousands of troops should not be a problem."

Gao Dejie was a little worried when he heard this, and said, "Your Highness, I am a little worried. If Zhang Xianzhong also fully supports Li Dingguo, it will be difficult for us to defend Nanjing City this time."

There are naturally reasons for the concerns of Gaodejie.

First of all, of course, the 13,000 soldiers and horses in the city are insufficient in combat because they contain too many new recruits.

And the most critical point is that the grenade, which can be used as a killer weapon, is almost useless when dealing with the artillery of the Daxi Army.

The Western Army has obviously figured it out now. They just used artillery to bombard it until the city wall collapsed and rushed in.

In that case, the grenade will be suppressed to a minimum.

So, Nanjing City’s defensive situation is really not optimistic now.

Zhu Cixuan was still slow and said, "It's okay, I have my own idea."

With systematic protection, Zhu Cilang is indeed not nervous.

The only thing that made Zhu Ciyang a little confused was that the situation seemed to be quite unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty. Why has the system still not released a sign-in task?

After Gao Dejie left, Zhu Cixuan pinched his chin and fell into thinking: "Is there anything else I don't know about?"

On the pier outside the city, Li Dingguo listened to Zhang Xianzhong's gentle tone and a lot of sweat suddenly flowed from his young face.

Li Dingguodao: "Father, son minister..."

Zhang Xianzhong interrupted Li Dingguo and said sternly: "I asked you to act like you are about to attack Jiujiang and force Zuo Liangyu to attack Nanjing even more crazily. You are so good that you actually hit Jiujiang directly.

If this is the case, it would be fine. You have to go further after conquering Jiujiang, lead the troops to Nanjing, and control the military power with Zuo Liangyu and his subordinates with bad intentions, and surround Nanjing!

Is this the reward for your trust in this king? This is why you are indifferent after I issued ten orders?"

Zhang Xianzhong's scolding made Li Dingguo sweat profusely, his forehead pressed to the ground, and he dared not speak.

Around Li Dingguo, everyone fell to the ground with a thunderous kneeling.

Although this army appears to be the commander-in-chief of Li Dingguo, in the final analysis, it is still the army of King Zhang Xianzhong of the Great Western King!

Zhang Xianzhong snorted and said, "Come on, take this rebellious son to me and take him back to Wuchang, so that he can think about his mistakes behind closed doors!"

Several Zhang Xianzhong's guards immediately came over and took Li Dingguo away.

After doing these things, Zhang Xianzhong's eyes moved to Nanjing not far away and focused on it for a long time.

What is certain is that for a while, Zhang Xianzhong's eyes looked at Nanjing were filled with greed and desire.

This is the founding capital of the Ming Dynasty!

But in the end, the light in Zhang Xianzhong's eyes gradually faded.

He sighed long.

"The time has not come!"

In the evening of that day, a new news came to Zhu Cixuan.

"Someone shot a letter outside the city, saying that it was given to me by the King of the West, Zhang Xianzhong?"

When he heard this news, Zhu Cilang's first reaction was a little confused, and his second reaction was surprise.

Why did Zhang Xianzhong run here? Didn’t he say that the commander was Li Dingguo?

With doubts, Zhu Cilang opened the letter in his hand.

Zhang Xianzhong's handwriting is very sloppy, and he can see that his cultural level is not high in his words and sentences, which also made Zhu Cixuan spend some time reading the letters.

The letter is as follows:

"To the Ming Dynasty Crown Prince Zhu Cilang:

I heard that I could fight a war, but Jiannu and Li Zicheng could not beat you, and Zuo Liangyu lost to you, which was indeed natural.

In fact, this king does not want to attack Nanjing. It is his subordinates who make their own decisions, so you can rest assured that Nanjing is still from the Ming Dynasty.

Starting today, the Great West and the Ming Dynasty are bounded by Jiujiang, and Jiujiang City returns to the west to the Daxi and the Ming Dynasty to the east.

If you disagree, you can lead your troops to fight with me.

I will withdraw my troops tomorrow.”

Zhu Cilang looked at the letter quietly, feeling speechless.

"This Zhang Xianzhong...is interesting."

In front of Zhu Cixuan, many important officials of the Ming Dynasty were already looking forward to it. Zhang Shenyan couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, what did that thief say?"

Zhu Cilang smiled and signaled the letter in his hand: "You guys can take a look at this letter."

The letter was soon circulated among these important officials of the Ming Dynasty.

After watching it, the Ming ministers present were also shocked.

"Zhang Xianzhong actually took the initiative to withdraw his troops?"

"Is this impossible?"

"Is he planning a conspiracy?"

Gao Dejie couldn't help looking at Zhu Cixuan: "Your Highness, what is Zhang Xianzhong's intention this time?"

Zhu Cixuan pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe...he wants to go home for the winter?"

Everyone: "..."

Zhu Cilang laughed and said, "Just just kidding. If this palace expected it is good, Zhang Xianzhong should really withdraw his troops."

Zhu Cixuan also began to understand why his sign-in system had not responded these days.

The next morning, Zhu Cilang took Zhang Shenyan and other groups of senior officials to the city wall.

Sure enough, in their sight, many fleets and soldiers had already moved upstream and slowly left Nanjing City.

A cheer suddenly rang out from Nanjing City.

"We won!"

"The Ming Dynasty guarded Nanjing!"

This cheer came from afar to Zhang Xianzhong's flagship.

Zhang Xianzhong turned around and stared at the Nanjing city wall in the distance.

Li Dingguo stood beside Zhang Xianzhong dejectedly, which was in sharp contrast to his previous high spirits.

Zhang Xianzhong withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Dingguo sternly: "Remember, from now on, don't be self-righteous and make your own decisions!"

Li Dingguo said that he would like to say that.

Zhang Xianzhong snorted, looking at Nanjing gradually moving farther behind him, and sighed again.

"It's a pity that my king's foundation... is still too shallow."

Zhang Xianzhong had just occupied the entire Hubei territory not long ago, and after destroying Zuo Liangyu, he took it to Jiangxi. This was already the limit of his expansion and the limit of the Ming Dynasty tolerating him.

Nanjing? For Zhang Xianzhong at this time, this piece of fat is still too greasy. He may vomit it out after eating it, or even die!

After a long time, Zhang Xianzhong talked to himself.
