Qingyin held Chen Zhiyuan's hand tightly and advised: "I heard that His Highness of the King of Wu came to Haizhou in person, Prince An was defeated and retreated to Ganyu. A big battle is about to begin... If you take a wrong step, you will be doomed, sir!"

Chen Zhiyuan frowned and said, "When I let Jiang Quanyi go, I asked him to pass the message to Wu Zheng, he wanted to fight the northern expedition and go to Qingzhou... As long as he didn't come to attack, I would stop moving."

"But how can you guarantee that... the new army will not move?" Qingyin's voice became sharp.

Chen Zhiyuan's face darkened, "Who dares to move without my military order?"

"Where is Prince Rui?" Qingyin with a hint of mockery, "The lessons of the past in Haizhou are still in front of him."

Chen Zhiyuan shouted in a angrily manner: "That's...I'm careless. When I come back this time, I have purged the new army... I will not have any lip service before..."

Chen Zhiyuan's voice was getting lower and lower. In fact, everyone understood that Chen Zhiyuan himself, this was not credible!

If we really can order the law to follow and prohibit the order, what else can we do in Yanzhou, and Dorbo and a group of staff?

Besides, how many generals with military power can do it, and truly hold troops to respect themselves?

This world is really not something that can’t be passed without anyone else.

The new army was the Qing army after all. Although Chen Zhiyuan was the commander they had served since their establishment, when it was time to make a decision, who could guarantee that they would only listen to Chen Zhiyuan? There is Prince Rui over there... Whoever eats and drinks, then he has to work hard for whom. Even the bandits in the world know that they should take money and eliminate disasters, let alone soldiers?

Qingyin gently stroked the back of Chen Zhiyuan's hand and said softly: "In fact, bring some new troops loyal to the adults back... In the eyes of the people of Jiangnan, adults are also heroes... Even if some people have objections, at worst, we can go back to Shining Town, where men farm and women weave, and children and grandchildren can still be free for a lifetime."

Chen Zhiyuan was a little moved. It was not just for Qingyin's vision of having a happy life, but for him, he missed his father... and also the one who grew up with his bare ass... a bastard.

At this time, in Chen Zhiyuan's eyes, Wu Zheng was a bastard, an unprofitable bastard.

From Hangzhou to Yingtian Prefecture, and then to the Northern Expedition Army crossing the river three times, he had countless opportunities to be independent, but he missed them all.

He even told him in person that as long as he is independent, he will return, but at this moment, the bastard is still dreaming of a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Zhiyuan was full of heart and hated that he would not fight!

Thinking of this, the little bit of his heart that he had just had disappeared again.

"I can't leave Dong'e." Chen Zhiyuan said lightly.

A flash of disappointment flashed in Qingyin's eyes, but she still advised again: "You can take her away together."

"Dong'e will not leave Ziyang." Chen Zhiyuan sighed softly, "That is already her home."

"Then... kidnap!" Qing Yin gritted her teeth.

Chen Zhiyuan looked at Qingyin in shock, was stunned for a while, shook his head and said, "Turn the army to turn against him, Dorbo will definitely order a blockade. If I bring such a woman to give birth, it will harm her and the one in her belly... Besides, she is the princess of the Qing court after all. How can she be placed in the south when she arrives in the south?"

Qing Yin said anxiously: "Hasn't you heard that the granddaughter of Uncle Wang Jiergalang, Mimi, has also gone to the south? I have never heard of what the south is doing to her..."

Chen Zhiyuan looked at Qingyin silently, suddenly raised his hand, gently wiped the tears from her eyelids, and said softly: "Well, what I listened to you is... but leading a 30,000 army to turn against you is not a trivial matter. You must make a long-term plan. Besides, Wu Zheng may not be ready to take over such an army... In this way, you used to be Changlin Guard. Although you have been away for some time, you have not designated you as a traitor there. You should be able to contact them in the surrounding prefectures..."

Qing Yin heard this and was happy, nodded repeatedly and said, "I can find them...Don't worry, sir."

Chen Zhiyuan smiled and said, "After contacting them, I will follow them to meet Wu Zheng... and arrange for me to lead the army back."

Qingyin was stunned and asked, "I asked them to pass the message to His Highness the King of Wu... Why do you want me to go with you?"

Chen Zhiyuan said seriously: "How can you just deal with such a big deal? Besides, if you leave Changlin Wei, you must have a name after you go back to make a contribution. When you arrive in Jiangnan, you can go home with dignity, at least, you will not be rejected by your family."

After Chen Zhiyuan said this, Qingyin also felt that it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay, as the lord said... it will take ten days later, and at least five days later, I will face King Chen Wu... and arrange this for the lord."

Chen Zhiyuan gently embraced Qingyin into his arms, and the bird leaned on others, looking intoxicated.

But she couldn't see that, Chen Zhiyuan's serious expression was on his face at this moment.

....

In Fengyang City, Ajige is already in trouble.

Within a month, he asked the court for reinforcements and supplies. Until today, no one soldier, and no grain of rice or grain arrived.

Even the two reinforcements that Dorbo had agreed to go to Fengyang stopped in Xuzhou and refused to go further to Nanduo.

What's the reason?

Even if Ajige is ignorant, he will be clear in his heart.

Where can I kill someone by borrowing a knife!

But one thing is that Ajige's judgment was consistent with the Qing court, that is, Ajige also believed that this was just a local war, not a life-and-death decisive battle.

If Ajig knew the seriousness of the situation, he would probably make two choices. One was to lead his troops to shrink northward, lead the battlefield to Xuzhou, and force Dorbo to join the war. The other was to turn northwest and join Wu Sangui's army, which was in the same camp at least, better than being surrounded and annihilated by the Northern Expedition Army, right?

But in fact, Ajige missed his chance to get out of trouble.

As Guangxinwei cleared the south of Fengyang City, Chi Erhan's troops desperately pressed against Xuyi, Ajige's movement space became smaller and smaller.

At this time, Ajige made a very fierce decision because of his short-sightedness - to do his best to defeat Xuyi.

In his opinion, Sizhou cannot be misunderstood. Once Sizhou is lost, the east gate of Fengyang City will be opened to the Northern Expedition Army.

Only by defending Sizhou and relying on the natural barrier of Hongze Lake can we resist the enemy outside the Yangzhou border.

Ajige sent the most powerful army in Fengyang City at this time, his Inlaid Blue Banner and Inlaid White Banner Han Army, a total of 8,000 people rushed straight to Sizhou.

At this time, in the direction of Xuyi, except for the 3,000 Qing troops in Sizhou, there were six or seven thousand people outside Xuyi City who were attacking Xuyi.

With this army of 8,000 people, the small Xuyi City will face a fierce attack of up to 20,000 Qing troops.

At this time, Chi Erhan, who was defending in Xuyi, had less than 5,000 troops in his hands after continuous bloody battles.
