At dawn, Jiang Bin led an army of 20,000 across the river in the thick fog.

It was quiet all around. When the pioneer landed, there was no fire. There was no confrontation between the two sides of the crossbow and firearms, and everything was peaceful.

Jiang Bin stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the river bank with a serious expression... He did not dare to charge forward and climb to the current height. He even ignored Xie Qian, the chief minister of the cabinet of the dynasty, and Zhang Yuan, the chief supervisor of the Sili, and Zhang Yuan, the chief supervisor of the Sili, seriously. He took his life extremely precious. After the people who came ashore confirmed that the bandits had not set up defenses by the river, he let the ship dock.

"Master Jiang, I have captured more than 300 bandits, and the leader of the bandit said he would see you." Just as Jiang Bin was about to land, a small boat came over and sent troops to board the boat to report the emergencies on the shore.

Jiang Bin was stunned and asked, "How could anyone see me? Could it be a fraud?"

The messenger said: "The person who caught claimed to be a former military advisor appointed by King Ning, was ordered to go to the shore to set fire. I heard that the adults led their troops across the river. Out of admiration for the adults, they came to serve."

Jiang Bin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where is the King Ning's army?"

"I don't know if Lord Jiang wants to see this person for now?" asked the messenger.

Jiang Bin thought about it, although he was still a little worried and was afraid that he would fall into the other party's plan, he was eager to understand the situation of Ning Wang's army. After landing, he strengthened his own security measures first, so that he could escort the military advisor... It was in front of Sima Lan that he volunteered to go to the riverside to set fire to the middle-aged goatee scholar.

"The villain Song Yuan met Commander Jiang."

As soon as the man came, he knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Bin.

When Jiang Bin saw that the other party was a weak scholar and did not threaten him, he left the guards to protect him and quickly stepped forward and asked, "Are you an official appointed by King Ning? Why did you choose to surrender to this general?"

Song Yuan said: "The villain is determined to serve the court, but unfortunately he failed the exams many times. In order to make a living, he had to serve as a staff member at the rebel palace. He did not want to rebel against the rebel king. The villain said slightest words and could only pretend to surrender, leaving a useful body to wait for the official army to arrive."

"The villain was appointed as the military advisor of Sima Lan, the general of the former army. He was familiar with the battalion and defense layout of the soldiers along the Yangtze River, and knew the direction they retreated. He heard that the Lord led his troops to take the opportunity to make achievements anyway... If Lord Jiang sent troops to pursue him, he would definitely defeat all the soldiers and horses of the King."

Jiang Bin couldn't help but exclaim: "You come here sincerely, and you have a good relationship. Tell me quickly how many people are there on the south bank, and where are the people now..."

...

...

Jiang Bin did not suspect that there was a fraud. He was very happy that Song Yuanshan came to the scene and felt that it was God's favor.

Song Yuan confessed in detail about Sima Lan's troops and their retreat route. Jiang Bin thought for a moment and made an accurate judgment on the current situation, and his attitude towards Song Yuanshan was not as enthusiastic as before.

Jiang Bin waved his hand: "Now I can't tell whether what you said is true. You can only decide after this general leads his troops to pursue him... For the time being, I can only feel wronged and wait on the boat."

Although Song Yuan was reluctant, he knew that this was human nature. After all, Jiang Bin could not confirm whether what he said was true or false, and it was completely understandable that he did not trust.

When Song Yuan and more than 300 soldiers led by him were escorted to the river bank to set fire on the boat, Jiang Bin began to order a pursuit. Unfortunately, Jiang Bin did not bring many cavalry. At this time, he could only notify the other side of the river and ask Anqing Prefecture City to transport war horses across the river.

That morning, the sun shone brightly.

The fog on the river finally completely dissipated, and God seemed to be interested in helping Jiang Bin so that he could pursue the enemy with a broad vision.

After controlling several camps that originally belonged to Ning Wang's army, Jiang Bin felt that Song Yuan had not deceived him, and kept dispatching troops and chasing him towards Tongshan Town where the rebels fled.

After noon, news came from the pursuit troops, and they defeated the enemy troops in succession. Although the victory was not great, they summed up, but they also killed and captured hundreds of soldiers of King Ning.

This is enough to show that the Song and Yuan dynasties are sincerely coming to surrender!

"God helps me, this battle is almost bloodless. I can finally be proud of His Majesty by relying on military merits to see who dares to question my ability."

...

...

Jiang Bin led his troops across the river to fight, but Zhu Houzhao did not come to the front line to supervise the battle. However, he got up very early that day and walked back and forth in the main hall, and asked people to inquire about the news from time to time, like an ant on a hot pan.

Xiao Zhuozi comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The information says that there are not many bandits on the other side of the river. Commander of Jiang should be able to win this time."

That being said, but Xiao Taozi himself didn't believe it. Like Zhang Yuan, Xiao Taozi had a deep prejudice against Jiang Bin and felt that this guy could not have the ability to defeat Ning Wang Bingma.

In the inn, Zhang Yuan was also anxiously waiting for the news. He did not want Jiang Bin to win the battle, but instead cursed the other party for returning home in a defeat.

For Zhang Yuan, he was not worried about his life danger in Anqing Prefecture City. As long as he could defeat his political enemies, there would be no problem even if the court's soldiers were defeated. Personal interests outweighed everything, and he would have no idea of ​​loyalty to the ruler and the country.

But no news came from across the river.

It was almost noon before someone came to pass the war report, and was intercepted by Zhang Yuan as soon as possible.

"...Eunuch Zhang, after crossing the river, Lord Jiang brought all the enemy camps across the river, killing and capturing thousands of enemy enemies. Now he is sending troops to pursue him. I heard that he has achieved great success..."

This battle report was definitely good news for the Ming soldiers, but it was completely bad news when it came to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan was extremely depressed: "I had never won a single victory in Xuanfu when I was dispatching troops and generals. Now, the surname Jiang easily gained credit... What kind of luck did you have? "

Zhang Yuan didn't think Jiang Bin had any skills, so he could only attribute all this to good luck.

Li Xing asked from the side: "Eunuch Zhang is going to report a victory to His Majesty?"

Zhang Yuan said with a dark face: "Our family naturally has to go to see Your Majesty, but it is hard to say whether the Jiang surname is really winning now. Let's wait until the war has its final result."

Li Xing was stunned and realized that Zhang Yuan might be worried that Jiang Bin would fail in the subsequent pursuit battle, so he was not in a hurry to report to the emperor, and to prevent Zhu Houzhao from blaming Zhang Yuan, an irrelevant person afterwards.

Li Xing smiled and said, "Now it seems that King Ning did not arrange many troops opposite Jiang, and he was not able to attack Anqing Prefecture City at all. In this way, Commander Jiang really had good luck and actually won in one fell swoop. Your Majesty must be very happy. We will finally have a few good days to live, and we can prepare for the next step of military service."

Zhang Yuan gave Li Xing a blank look: "It's too early to talk about the military. Do you think Jiang Bin has the ability to gain a foothold on the other side of the river?"

Because there were outsiders present, Zhang Yuan could stop even if the attack occurred. Li Xing knew very well about the grudges and entanglement between Zhang Yuan and Jiang Bin, and knew that he was in a bad mood at this time, so he no longer commented.

...

...

After noon, more war reports came from the other side of the river.

Although Jiang Bin led his troops to win all the battles, he only won the victory of annihilation of less than a thousand enemies after dozens of battles. Compared to Chen Xi's victory, he could not compare with Zhu Houzhao.

Moreover, Jiang Bin intentionally exaggerated his contributions. He knew that he needed to boost his morale at this time. Even if the exaggerated elements were known by the emperor, he would not blame him. He was a hero and could be forgiven.

As the front line news continued to come and confirmed that Ning Wang's army did not arrange an ambush and victory was a foregone conclusion, Zhang Yuan finally realized the reality that Jiang Bin successfully made contributions, and could only go to Zhu Houzhao and the prelude to explain the situation.

Zhu Houzhao had previously learned from Xiao Tiaozi that the war was going well. After listening to Zhang Yuan’s victory, Zhu Houzhao was still very excited.

Zhu Houzhao looked proud: "I have said a long time ago that Jiang Qing's family has the ability. He has not gotten a good chance to perform when he went to the battlefield several times before. As long as he is given such an opportunity, he can seize it and make contributions, and not let down my high expectations for him... Look, I have a good vision, right?"

Zhang Yuan felt so frustrated. He felt that Jiang Bin made a contribution, as if he was stabbing his own knives.

Xiao Zhuozi praised him: "Your Majesty is responsible for his meritoriousness. In the court, Lord Shen first came, and Lord Jiang later. Congratulations to Your Majesty for having such virtuous ministers and generals guarding the territory."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and waved his hand: "Even if the Jiang Qing family has the ability, they cannot compare with Mr. Chen. His contribution is just to boost the morale of the imperial soldiers inside and outside Anqing Prefecture. However, the biggest problem now is to quickly clarify the location of the main force of the King of Rebellion... I will send several armies to fight against the King of Rebellion."

Zhang Yuan said: "Your Majesty, Commander Jiang has won the victory. In order to prevent the bandits from making a comeback, he should be asked to lead his troops back to Anqing Prefecture City as soon as possible."

The smile on Zhu Houzhao's face faded, obviously not satisfied with Zhang Yuan's suggestion, and frowned and said, "It is understandable to withdraw troops in the middle of the night when we met the enemy. It is unclear whether the opponent's background is clear, but now we have won. Is it necessary to withdraw troops? The main force of King Ning has not yet figured out where the main force is now. Even if we make a comeback, it is still time to withdraw troops."

"It is easier to know the mobilization of the King's troops on the other side of the river... Oh, by the way, isn't it said that the pursuit has been hundreds of miles, but still no trace of the King Ning's main force has been found? This shows that King Ning's current target is not Anqing Prefecture City. Where exactly is, it is easier to detect the garrison on the other side of the River."

Xiao Tiaozi's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, but after looking at Zhu Houzhao, he immediately kept silent.

Zhang Yuan was very worried: "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Houzhao raised his hand and interrupted Zhang Yuan's words with a very firm attitude: "I know you are worried about winning first and then losing. Since this battle has been won completely, there is no need to be so reserved. I will lead the troops across the river in person when I look back..."

"I want everyone in Jiangxi to know that I am not a vegetarian. They should raise the flag as soon as possible. Go and inform the Jiang Qing family quickly and ask the Jiang Qing family to send a large number of scouts to investigate the main force of King Ning. I will lead the troops to fight against King Ning in person!"

...

...

Zhu Houzhao was originally worried about his life, fearing that his troops would trap Anqing Prefecture City and would not be able to break through successfully.

Now he realized that he was in vain. King Ning had no energy to transfer his troops to Anqing Mansion, but he just sent a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals to scare him.

Back in the backyard, Zhu Houzhao was much more relaxed and said to the little twister standing beside him: "I have never thought about tea or food for the sake of war these days. Now I have finally felt relieved and can relax... Isn't the prefect Anqing who sent a few women with warm quilts here before? I'll send them to me together."

Xiao Tiaozi said, "Your Majesty, I will make arrangements for you now."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "By the way, let someone prepare wine and good food. I want to drink it, just treat it as a celebration. Haha."

Although the results of the battle were not so generous, Zhu Houzhao felt proud because he felt that his wings were hard and he could completely escape from Chenxi to win.

This is a good start. Once the strings in my heart are relaxed, Zhu Houzhao's thought of being addicted to Yile is revealed and she can't stop it.

...

...

Xiao Guozi quickly went to make arrangements for Zhu Houzhao. Not long after, a few sedans were sent to the inner courtyard.

Originally, Xiao Tiaozi wanted to serve others, but Zhu Houzhao drove people directly. Maybe she thought Xiao Tiaozi was annoying. At this time, Zhu Houzhao wanted to concentrate on having fun all night and didn't want anyone to disturb her.

When Xiao Tiaozi came out, he was still thinking: "I won't be really caught by Zhang Yuanyan. Jiang's surname is defeated by the day, right? Why did His Majesty lead his troops to fight? Even if he wins a battle, I will be restless? Doesn't it mean that His Majesty has never been reliable?"

Xiao Guozi suddenly realized that after he and Zhu Hou had a few times, he had no regrets and sadness, as if something would happen.

But this time, what he was worried about didn't happen all night.

In the morning, he arrived in the backyard to serve him. The guards told Zhu Houzhao that he had fallen asleep in the middle of the night. Because he slept with several women, Xiao Tiaozi didn't dare to go in and disturb him.

Xiao Taozi didn't have a good rest, so he was going to find a place to sleep for a while. At this time, the guards came to report that someone was walking at the door asking for a meeting.

When Xiao Twist came out, he realized that it was his confidant Zang Xian, so he quickly called the person aside.

Zang Xian said: "My deceased, King Ning sent someone to Anqing Prefecture City to lobby for local officials, but the villain accidentally found out."

Xiao Zhuozi said angrily: "Even if there is such a thing, don't tell us. Can our family report to His Majesty? Will the local officials be bribed by King Ning now?"

Zang Xian said: "I don't know for the time being, but I heard that someone among the generals of the garrison were bribed... There are rumors that King Ning originally wanted to make a desperate bet this time and wanted to fight his Majesty to the death with Jiang'an. Unexpectedly, King Ning was caught off guard and was afraid that the Duke of Wei would lead his troops to help, so he temporarily withdrew his troops, leaving only some of the troops as suspicious soldiers..."

Xiao Tiaozi sighed: "We can't just gossip in front of His Majesty in this kind of thing... Your Majesty is happy now. Whoever wants to ruin His Majesty's mood will be unlucky... In short, to impeach people, there must be conclusive evidence. Besides, there is no way to know where King Ning is now. We cannot get distracted. Let's take a look at the subsequent situation first."

Zang Xian said again: "If the father-in-law and the prefect Anqing come to give the gift again, will you accept it?"

Xiao Tiaozi thought for a while: "Who knows if there is anything in the gift that King Ning has used to win people's hearts? Therefore, if you give it to our family, our family will not accept anything, it is not that bad. As for what you give to others, our family can't control it... Oh, by the way, I'll send the news to Nanjing as soon as possible so that Eunuch Zhang can know what happened here. Jiang Bin is now in a thrill of youth, so that he has to take advantage of the war to get him down... Let Eunuch Zhang help our family plan well."

"I understand, understand." Zang Xian responded hurriedly.

Xiao Guozi yawned: "If our family is sleepy, go and rest first. If you have any questions, the servants will come and notify me. You don't have to come in person. Be careful with Zhang Yuan. This old guy wants to play tricks now, and most of the affairs in the city are controlled by him. When Jiang Bin left, it's time for him to be arrogant and domineering."

Zang Xian nodded again: "The younger Zhang Yuan will be more careful and will also stare at his every move. If Ning Wang really wants to win people's hearts, I believe he will also make a fuss about him, the Sili Supervisor's Seal. If we can find evidence of his affair with Ning Wang, then we..."
