Tan Zhen stood in the middle of the army and watched as the city gates in the south and north of the city suddenly opened. The two teams rushed out at the same time like two sharp arrows, rushed across the suspension bridge, and rushed towards the east side.

Not fond of fighting.

Guo Shaojie shouted: "They have abandoned the city...Hurry up and chase..."

Tan Zhen also realized that in the heavy rain, sound transmission was already limited, and the delay in listening and replying to messages was even higher. It was really unexpected to suddenly rush out.

The scouts shouting good news in the distance also confirmed Guo Shaojie's statement that Luzhou City was destroyed.

"The front army attacks the city, the rear army pursues it, and the middle army guards it. I leave this place to you, Shaojie." Tan Zhen picked up his sword, mounted his horse, and led his men to kill.

The news of the defeat came much faster than the defeated team. When the scouts stood in the court with blood on them, Fang La sat down on the dragon chair, and everyone in the court was in an uproar.

Si Xingfang and Shi Bao each had an army of 100,000, but now they were defeated like a mountain. Two of the four marshals of the Yongle Dynasty were driving back with their remaining soldiers.

The territory of the three states and eighteen prefectures has not been damaged at all, but in terms of morale, most of them have been lost.

Lu Qinghou stood up and said: "The top priority is to send troops to intercept. If Gao Qiu and his men lead their troops to march straight in, Jinling will be in danger all the way."

"Who can take on this important task?" Fang La said with a serious tone, his face turned pale.

"Wei Chen voluntarily went there even though he was sick, and asked Marshal Deng to prepare for the defense of Jinling." Lu Qinghou bowed to Deng Yuanjue.

Deng Yuanjue frowned. He was well aware of Lu Qinghou's ability. Without Lu Qinghou, the Yongle Dynasty would probably not be where it is today. He immediately said solemnly: "Don't worry, military advisor, as long as I, the monk, are here, Jinling will be fine."

"

"Okay, okay, there are two ministers. He is little Gao Qiu, but he is just a football actor. Why should we be afraid? What should we be afraid of..." Fang La patted the table and immediately ordered: "Come and lead the military advisor."

An army of 50,000 people went to resist the enemy. Marshal Deng led an army of 80,000 people in Jinling, supported the military advisors, and came to Jinling with Fang Jie's appearance to defend the capital."

After receiving the order, everyone did not dare to slack off. Deng Yuanjue mobilized his troops and generals, and Lu Qinghou took Qiao Zheng and Xie Fu out of the city quickly and headed east.

For a time, people in Jinling City were in panic and rushed to tell each other.

When Fang Jinzhi heard that the maid had received her revenge, her hands and feet were so frightened that she stopped Lu Qinghou outside the city gate.

"Uncle Lu, you must take me there."

Lu Qinghou dismounted and frowned: "Princess, this is not a trivial matter. This is a war, and someone may be killed."

"If someone loses his life, he will lose his life. Since I have married Jiang Ning, I will be his person in life and his ghost in death. Now his life or death is uncertain. I will have trouble sleeping and eating, and I will sleep hard at night. If this continues,

What's the difference between me and death?" Fang Jinzhi argued hard and got on the horse.

She was dressed in a man's attire, so she was inconspicuous among the group.

Lu Qinghou sighed softly: "It's okay, it's just that I can't take the initiative in this matter. The military affairs are urgent and I don't have much to worry about now. If you want to follow, then follow. If you don't, then let it go. You guys, take care of the princess."

, if something happens, escort the princess back."

Next to him were Lu Qinghou's personal guards. After receiving the order, they protected Fang Jinzhi in the middle. A team of twenty people could protect Fang Jinzhi Zhouquan without any big problem even though there were not many times the number of invading enemies.

of.

Lu Qinghou was well aware of Fang Jinzhi's temperament. She had given him Lu Qinghou's face by not delving into the Nangong family's affairs. Now that he was calling her uncle one after another, he couldn't bear it and could only do this.

Fang Jinzhi endured a lot of hardships when she was a child, so she spent quite a lot of time on horseback. She was said to be a wealthy person, but that was not necessarily the case.

Jiang Ning and Ning Buhui came out from the south of the city and attacked all the way. Their eight battalions were responsible for the task of breaking up the rear. The combat effectiveness exerted by each battalion was almost that of several times the number of men and horses. This was the first time

The sneak attack on the Ningshan Mansion camp and the second digging of the river had already been clearly demonstrated. Today, each battalion formed a line of defense and blocked Tan Zhen's several pursuits.

Even though Tan Zhen has been fighting bandits and Japanese pirates for a long time in the southeast, he has never seen such a team. Everyone exudes an aura of invincibility and is extremely confident. He is confident that he can fight one against a hundred and stop this team.

Thousands of troops.

Wang Ren, on the other hand, was a little tired. After being overtaken repeatedly, he had to choose to abandon his baggage and travel lightly, but his speed was not as good as Ning Buhui's.

Ning Buhui and everyone at Zhujian Villa saw it, but they really understood what Jiang Ning had transformed into a thousand people who looked like they were just playing house in half a month. Now they are like bereaved dogs.

, but these people stood up and became truly upright men.

From noon until midnight, the rain in the sky also stopped. The troops coming from behind to pursue Tongchuan slowed down. Many of them had already turned back to join the larger army. Only then did everyone stop at the foot of a mountain.

, set up camp, inventory the troops and equipment, take a short rest, and then return to Beijing.

"There are only 20,000 troops and horses now. Wang Ren's side is probably less than 10,000. When we came, there were 50,000 troops. Now that we have lost more than half, how can I have the dignity to go back?" Ning Buhui said regretfully.

"As soon as Ning Que came, Ningshan Mansion changed and Xu Xuanjie also left. Although I don't know what happened in the middle, it must be related to the two young masters. In addition, Gao Qiu, who had been hiding in the dark, took the opportunity to seize the city.

Under the attack from inside and outside, Wang Shi and Si Xing were just able to make ends meet.

It was a big chaos. If not, the outcome of this battle is uncertain. Although we suffered a lot, at least we still achieved something. It won’t be too ugly when we go back. The ones who will have a headache will probably be the people in Luzhou." Jiang Ning ate it.

Taking a mouthful of dry food, he sat on the ground and said.

"These people are all thinking about fighting for power and profit. Not many of them really care about the Yongle Dynasty and Shenggong." Ning Buhui also sighed and said: "Did the teacher leave too? After following him for thirty years, I couldn't help but

After retiring from old age and returning to his hometown, Ningshan Mansion seems to be about to change."

Jiang Ning smiled: "It has been a long-standing principle that if you don't have a sense of honor, it will be like this, so I want to change it. It seems that the effect is not bad."

What Jiang Ning was referring to was naturally his men and horses: "Now that the jade is returned to Zhao intact, they will return to you. After returning, just let them take my current position. Ten of them are still there, and each person is in charge of a thousand people. This is ten thousand men."

, even if there are some mistakes in the middle, it doesn’t hurt.”

"Let's not talk about this. After this defeat, Gao Qiu and Tan Zhen will lead their troops and march straight to Jinling. I don't know when they will be able to repel..." Ning Buhui glanced at the top of his head, which he had not seen for several days.

The moon sighed.

"Don't think about it. Let's go back first. There is nothing wrong with Zhujian Villa. At least Lu Qinghou is not a confused person." Jiang Ning shook his head and suddenly thought of Wang Ruoyan. She should be three months pregnant now.

Don't know what's going on.

He had never cared about someone so much, but it was different now. He had never looked forward to the flesh and blood in his arms so much. As for whether it was a boy or a girl, Jiang Ningdao didn't care at all.

"who……"

"I……"

"Ms. sir..."
