Zhou Yun's humble attitude made Zhao Yucheng a little disappointed with him.

But then I thought about it, will a guy who can sell soldiers' weapons for money have any so-called [soldier backbone]?

"Take all your money, no matter where you hide it, don't hide it at all. I will send someone to ask your subordinates. If you ask me what you didn't explain, you know what will happen."

Zhou Yun swallowed, endured his heartache, and smashed his head heavily to the ground.

"Thank you for not killing me!"

Now, let’s not talk about whether his life can be preserved. All the money earned from doing business is gone, and the amazing profits and the money that made him almost crazy is gone...

What did I do?

Zhou Yun collapsed on the ground and did not move, and his eyes were gone.

He was mournful, he hated, he was powerless.

When he endured his heartache and handed over all his business income, he hated him to the extreme.

But what he hated was not the peasant army that seized his money, but Wang Shun, who was unable to come to support him in time.

He wished he could peel Wang Shun's skin, eat Wang Shun's flesh, and drink Wang Shun's blood, so that he could eliminate the hatred in his heart. Otherwise, he would never be able to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

On March 23, the fifth year of Hongwu, the peasant army captured Dehua County and destroyed the Jiujiang army of the Southern Song Dynasty with a superior force of 55,000 troops. The Jiujiang army was killed more than 7,000 people, and more than 1,000 people were seriously injured and died. In the end, they were captured for more than 20,000.

The officers captured hundreds of people below Zhou Yun, and only more than twenty people died in battle and committed suicide, which was pitiful.

At this time, it was only more than half a month before the peasant army took the initiative to launch the war.

Zhao Yucheng won a real hard battle. Although the Jiujiang army was not that strong, the city defense of Dehua County was still well built by them, and the peasant army had no chance to cooperate inside and outside. It relied on pre-war operations and wartime courage to conquer a city.

Zhao Yucheng felt that the peasant army was still a little far from the real Ming army, but as a field army and a powerful army, the peasant army should enter the house...

This made him very happy.

Zhao Yucheng did not stop and immediately rectified the army and advanced to Ezhou on both water and land. He also ordered Zhang Xiaohu, who was nailed to the horse head garrison, and his navy team to advance in advance, as the vanguard of the army, to open the way for the army and escort it.

During Zhao Yucheng's attack on the Jiujiang army, Wang Shun and his Ezhou army, who had never come to support, were not doing well.

Because they were also perfunctory by the Xiangyang army.

After Wang Shun perfunctorily finished the Jiujiang army, he was eager for the Xiangyang army to come to support him and told them that Ezhou was very dangerous and asked you to help us quickly.

However, the Xiangyang army rejected their request on the grounds that [the new commander has not yet taken office], asking them to defend Ezhou, stop the attack of the peasant army, and come to support after their new commander is in place.

Wang Shun was very angry and immediately sent someone to warn the temporary acting commander of the Xiangyang army, Yao Zhong's deputy general Zhou Benyuan, told him that the Ezhou army protected not only Ezhou, but also the supplies and retreat routes of the Xiangyang army. If Ezhou is not protected, how can the Xiangyang army be safe?

Zhou Benyuan disdained this.

What is the peasant army?

Our subordinates are defeated!

If it weren't for the cold weather in winter and the bureaucrats cheating, we would have eliminated all the peasant army in Nanchang!

Even if the weather is cold and the bureaucrats cheat us, we still successfully retreated without letting them take advantage of it. Such a group of incompetent opponents can actually make your 30,000 army so panic?

Do you want to have a good face?

I don't even want my face, right?

Zhou Benyuan replied to Wang Shun with a very rude letter.

The letter boasted about the Xiangyang army's previous achievements in the peasant army, their contempt for the peasant army, and their disdain for the peasant army's initiative. They felt that Zhou Yun and Wang Shun were both cowards, and they were so timid in the face of such a group of defeated generals.

Are you still soldiers? Are you men?

Besides, the peasant army is difficult to deal with, but the Ming army is easy to deal with, right?

We faced the 100,000 troops of the Ming army's Henan Corps, and thought we were so relaxed, right?

Zhou Benyuan's unceremonious reply made Wang Shun very angry.

He immediately sent someone to submit to the court to report to Zhou Benyuan to the court, and to report to him that he would neglect his duties, and then send someone to see Zhou Benyuan again, asking him to send troops to assist in Ezhou immediately, otherwise he would bear all the consequences!

Zhou Benyuan smiled when he saw this letter, smiling disdainfully.

Then he wrote back to Wang Shun, asking Wang Shun to provide a certain number of powerful crossbows, divine arm bows, armor, and arrows to the Xiangyang army. As long as these materials are in place, he will immediately send troops to Ezhou to assist in defense. When the new leader comes, he will directly apologize for the blame and will not bother Wang Shun.

I asked Wang Shun if he would give it to him or not.

Wang Shun looked at the list of supplies and immediately tore Zhou Benyuan's letter to pieces.

If you don’t want to come, you can’t. You will find so many reasons and so many supplies!

I don’t want to give it all to you, what else can I fight?

Wang Shun then wrote another impeachment commendation, and gave it to the Privy Council with this list of materials. He wanted to impeach Zhou Benyuan not only unwilling to send troops, but also blackmail his colleagues. He committed many crimes and asked the court to deal with it seriously.

There were three copies of the impeachment memorials in succession. Wang Shun made a very decisive memorial, but Zhou Benyuan was unmoved at all. He looked like he was doing his own things, and obviously did not intend to send troops to assist in Ezhou.

While Wang Shun hated Zhou Benyuan, he also had a lot of objection to the Ezhou Governor Song Chen, who had previously had unpleasant friction with the Xiangyang army.

In order to make money by himself, Song Chen deducted all the weapons of everyone and sold them for money, and even brought down the head of the family. Now, in the face of the crisis, they obviously planned to refuse to save them.

So he went to find Song Chen, told Zhou Benyuan's request, and told Song Chen that the Ezhou army was full of recruits and that the combat effectiveness was about no. If Zhou Benyuan did not come to help, he would not have the confidence to defend Ezhou and would plan to retreat westward at any time, and would ask Song Chen if he wanted to leave together.

Song Chen was very embarrassed when asked, and his face turned blue and red.

Of course he knew that Wang Shun was scolding him around the bush. He was very unhappy, but he was a little helpless because he was the real criminal in this matter, but he removed Yao Zhong, who had not made any mistakes, through a series of operations.

It was very dangerous for him to step down, but he didn't expect it at that time, so it was not unreasonable that the Xiangyang army would not come to support him now.

He himself was also very upset and a little regretful, but Wang Shun said this in front of him, which made him feel embarrassed.

"If he doesn't come, he won't come. No one expects them, but the Ezhou army must defend Ezhou to the end. Otherwise, what are your names for the Ezhou army? This is the responsibility of the Ezhou army. If you neglect your duties and lose your troops, you will be punished!"

Song Chen scolded Wang Shun.

Wang Shun sneered.

"I am willing to stick to it, but I can't stand it and I can't help it. I can only retreat to Sichuan and Shu. The Song envoy wants to survive and perish with Ezhou. Great mercy. I will definitely submit a letter to Your Majesty for the Song envoy and ask for comfort for the Song envoy."

This is no longer a mockery, it is a slandering scolding. For Song Chen, it is simply unbearable.

"you!"

Song Chen glared wide, his anger surged, and felt his blood pressure rise with him.

He stared at Wang Shun, suppressed his emotions and said, "Don't think you can do anything if you have a relationship between the North Korea and China. Your logistics is in my hands! Without me providing you with food and weapons, what kind of war will you use? You and I have a relationship of prosperity and loss! You must understand the benefits and interests!"

"These things are clearly in the hands of the thief army, so should I obey the orders of the thief army?"

Wang Shun smiled and said, "If this is the case, it really makes people trouble Song Envoy, you said I am a general in the court, why do you have to obey the orders of the thieves?"

"Wang Shun!"

Song Chen was so angry that he could not control his emotions. He slapped the table and roared: "As a general in the court, I will report your words and deeds to the court truthfully! You can do it yourself!"

"Then I want to see if the court will check first what the orphans you sold to the thief army."
