Lu Xiangsheng was a decisive man. In addition, the situation in Daming could not allow him to hesitate any more. The next day, he led the army south to Shucheng, and then went directly to the south foot of Dabie Mountain to kill Wangjiang. At the same time, he also sent someone to inform Zuo Liangyu.


    When Zuo Dashuai received the notice, the army went to Wuhu and learned that Lu Xiangsheng didn''t go to rescue Anqing. Instead, he took a detour from the north to Wangjiang. He was immediately angry and scolded.


    After more than ten years of fighting, marshal Zuo was not an idiot in the army. He saw Lu Xiangsheng''s sinister intentions at a glance.


    According to the original strategy, Lu Xiangsheng''s Tianxiong army rushed to Anqing on the North Bank of the Yangtze River and his army rushed to Jiujiang on the South Bank of the Yangtze River. In this way, he had to deal with Li Dingguo''s army and Lu Xiangsheng had to deal with the Chinese army.


    But now Lu Xiangsheng is likely to become a soldier who will face the Chinese Army directly. At this time, the navy is handed over to the Shi Kefa. Even if he wants to go to Jiujiang by boat, he can''t go. The key is that so many people can''t all go by boat. As for the separation of troops, he has never considered it.


    "Damn it, I knew that none of these civil servants was good. They knew the schemers all day. They annoyed me. I went directly to Zhejiang and Fujian..."


    Zuo dashai roared.


    But after the roar, he calmed down and had to speed up, kill Tongling and rush to Anqing.


    Once anqing was lost, the Chinese army took advantage of the situation and moved eastward. He could only hide in Nanjing and defend it. As for going to Zhejiang and Fujian, it was just talk.


    Nanjing is lost, and the whole South will be owned by the Chinese Army sooner or later. Where to go, the final outcome will be the same.


    Therefore, even if Anqing is lost, he will guard Tongling. Only by making the Chinese Army feel that Zuo Liangyu is not a soft persimmon, will he let the Qin thief turn around and solve Lu Xiangsheng first, and dare not directly bypass his army to Nanjing.


    ……


    After arriving at Shucheng, Lu Xiangsheng''s army did not come to Anqing, but made a detour to the north, which naturally could not hide from the spies of the Chinese army.


    At the moment, under Anqing City, the army had stopped attacking the city. In fact, it had been pretending to attack for two days. Qin Huan knew that if such a city and place were fought, even if the Chinese army was more powerful, it might not be able to fight again when it finally came to Nanjing city.


    So he didn''t want to fight these unjust wars at all, but wanted to besiege Anqing, attract Lu Xiangsheng and Zuo Liangyu''s army and solve it in the first World War.


    As long as these two people are solved, the whole Jiangnan is his bathtub. There is no need to fight other cities. It''s enough to fight one city in Nanjing.


    As soon as Nanjing was broken and the new emperor was caught, he was sure that the gentry, civil servants and generals in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River would definitely rush to send people to submit to him.


    As a qualified military general, he must understand that what can be solved in one battle, he will never fight a second battle, but the current situation is beyond his expectation.


    However, Qin Huan was used to fighting with Lu Xiangsheng many times. He was too lazy to guess whether Lu Xiangsheng wanted to cut off his back, sneak attack Wuchang, or spy on his real intention. Anyway, he fought according to his original plan.


    "Send someone to continue to inquire. As soon as there is something wrong between the left army and the Tianxiong army, report it immediately. Continue to feint at Anqing tomorrow."


    "Yes, your majesty."


    Qin Huan sat down at the Diaoyutai in Anqing, while Li Dingguo came out at night, leading five thousand elite soldiers over mountains and straight to Jiujiang.


    Although Nanchang is the capital of Jiangxi, the importance of its strategic position is far from comparable to that of Jiujiang.


    The southernmost end of Dabie Mountain is located on the North Bank of Jiujiang river. The Yangtze River also forms a V-shape here, and also forms a bell mouth. Towards Wuchang upstream, both sides are high mountains. Downstream in Anqing, the terrain suddenly opens.


    Jiujiang is located at the lower part of the word ∨ and its geographical location is similar to that of Yuezhou. It not only guards the waterway channel from Wuchang to Jiangnan, but also blocks the landing channel.


    Of course, it''s OK for you to take risks to go around. After all, even the mountain customs can go around, but we should consider the risk that the grain road will be broken and the whole army will be destroyed. Moreover, this risk is often great, so there has never been a big general who dared to lead the army to bypass such a strategic place easily.


    Although Qin Huan and Li Dingguo didn''t discuss to fight Nanchang first, Jiujiang completely let Li Dingguo adapt to the situation, how can he not see that Jiujiang is more important than Nanchang?


    It can also be seen that Qin Huan led the army in Anqing. If he didn''t win Jiujiang in time, he would eventually face the risk of being surrounded. Therefore, Li Dingguo almost didn''t reach Nanchang, so he decided to build a plank road in the open and hide his position in the dark.


    When the army arrived in Nanchang, it pretended to encircle Nanchang and attack with all its strength. In fact, it took five thousand elite soldiers along the path to attack Jiujiang that night.


    Zuo Liangyu left only a thousand men and horses in Jiujiang City, plus the servants of the big families in the city. If you fight openly, when can you fight down? No one can say how many troops it will take.


    After all, no one knows whether there will be a figure like Yan YingYuan in the city. With the Yamen constable and young and strong in the city, they still stick to Jiangyin County for more than two months in the face of the attack of more than 100000 people. It is not too much to say that it is a miracle.


    But obviously miracles don''t happen often. There are no figures like Yan YingYuan in Jiujiang City. Li Dingguo took 5000 elite soldiers and ran outside Jiujiang City in three days. Then he suddenly launched an attack at dawn and easily won Jiujiang.


    The reason why it is so easy is that the garrison in the city is not prepared at all. His attention is focused on the Anqing Chinese army and the army in Nanchang. Secondly, Li Dingguo is already familiar with the long-distance attack and stealing the city.


    This kind of thing has been done more than once or twice in Huguang and Guizhou. When they first arrived in Huguang, every time the rebels encountered a critical moment, Li Dingguo took elite long-distance attacks on the county seat, which made the rebels of the eighth King often survive, leaving Yang Sichang in a mess.


    After taking Jiujiang, Li Dingguo went directly to Nanchang''s troops and went north. Don''t siege Nanchang. At the same time, he sent a clipper to inform Qin Huan.


    After receiving the news that Li Dingguo had raided Jiujiang, Qin Huan laughed. He not only agreed not to fight Nanchang for the time being, but also ordered the navy of Wuchang to go to Jiujiang for standby.


    Lu Xiangsheng was two days late to receive the news of the fall of Jiujiang, but it was this short two days that put the army into a desperate situation.


    Because at this time, 80000 troops have reached the north of the buried hill, it can be seen that they are also a long-distance attack.


    However, once Jiujiang is broken, not to mention going south to Wangjiang County, it is very dangerous to stay in the buried hill.


    As long as the Chinese Army divides one part to go north to Tongcheng, Li Dingguo will be killed when he marches into Susong and Wangjiang.


    In fact, as soon as Qin Huan received the news that Jiujiang had been taken, he sent 10000 elite soldiers to bypass Anqing and go north to Tongcheng all night.


    Li Dingguo didn''t wait for the Nanchang army to arrive. As soon as Jiujiang was broken, 2000 people were left to garrison Jiujiang. He hurried across the river with only 3000 troops and horses and attacked Susong again. It can be said that there was no delay for a moment.


    It has to be said that Qin Huan was even more powerful after he won the great general Li Dingguo.
