Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1121 King Lu's Bottom Line

For a big city like Nanjing, unless the inside surrenders or there is an internal response, it will be impossible to take it down without a period of preparation.

Now the army under the city of Nanjing, Lu Wang and Jin Shenghuan also have an army of nearly 9 people. If they have enough time, it is very possible to take down Nanjing, but the key is that Wang Yan will not give him this time.

Wang Yan knew that he was rushing to Nanjing, and he would definitely rush to Nanjing immediately. Then they would definitely fail under the attack from inside and outside.

King Lu saw that there was no hope of conquering Nanjing, so he was forced to withdraw to Zhejiang, but Jin Shenghuan could not return to Jiangxi, what should he do?
At this time, he could only go to King Lu.

At this time, it was already midnight, but the Zhe Army camp was brightly lit, and the crowds were crowded like daytime.

Jin Shenghuan passed through the camp, and saw groups of soldiers passing by. The Zhe army camp was very chaotic. Vehicles were lying across the camp blocking the road and no one was managing them. Yes, and when he looked in through the gap in the tent, the soldiers inside were also packing their bags.

It seems that King Lu is really going to withdraw, and the Zhejiang army has no intention of continuing to fight. With such an army spirit, King Lu will not be able to withdraw even if he does not withdraw.

Jin Shenghuan was led by Wang Yi to King Lu's handsome tent. The lights in the tent were on, indicating that King Lu hadn't fallen asleep either. The guards outside the tent were guarding the surroundings. A leader of the guards saw Wang Yi leading Jin Shenghuan over, and immediately came up to greet him. He saluted Wang Yi first, and then asked, "Is this Jin Duzhen?"

"That's right!" Wang Yi nodded, and Jin Shenghuan punched back, keeping his posture very low.

"Jin Du Town, please come in. Your Highness has told you to go in directly!" The leader of the guards stretched out his hand and led Jin Shenghuan to the tent, informed the inside, and then helped him lift the curtain.

Jin Shenghuan entered the tent and found that King Lu was standing in front of a map with his hands behind his back, meditating for a long time, his back was a little sad.

He waited for a while, seeing that King Lu still didn't respond, so he cupped his fists and bowed, and said softly, "Jin Shenghuan pays homage to Your Highness!"

King Lu was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice, and after realizing it, he turned around, walked back to the commander's desk tiredly, sat down, then pointed to the stool next to him, and then said, "What do you want from Hu Chen to see the lonely king?" Said!"

Jin Shenghuan sat down at the side, pursed his lips, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to get straight to the point: "Your Highness, in this situation, if you unite, you will live, and if you divide, you will die. If Your Highness wants to withdraw to Zhejiang, I am willing to accompany you and follow His Highness' orders." !"

Before, the two parties had their own ghosts, but the biggest enemy, Wang Yan, did not kill him, but put himself in a trap.

At this moment, Jin Shenghuan has gone astray, he has nothing to play with, he can only express his thoughts directly.

Jiangxi can't go back, Fujian can't get through, Jin Shenghuan is already a lost dog, once King Lu leaves, Jin Shenghuan will stay in Nanjing with a dead end, he can only go with King Lu now.

King Lu was taken aback when he heard this, Jin Shenghuan wanted to take refuge in him!
Now that the king of the Tang Dynasty has been arrested, the supporters of the Tang Dynasty have lost their banner, and they have been designated as treason by the court. Jin Shenghuan is one of the villains and must be severely punished.

I heard that Wang Yan once sent someone to bring him a letter, as long as he confessed his mistake to Nanchang and handed over his military power, he would be given the title of deputy governor, but he refused to accept it and rushed to Nanjing instead.This is the face of Buddha Wang Yan, Wang Yan will definitely not spare him.

For Wang Yan, King Lu still had some understanding. This guy was easy to talk, and he was easy to talk, but if he couldn't talk, he was really very vicious.

That guy Wang Yan has a good face and false faith. If he accepts what he says and what conditions he proposes from the beginning, then this guy will probably implement it according to the agreement to show his hypocrisy. If there are other Sisi, if you don't give him face, then this guy will be extremely vicious and merciless.

When that guy came to Nanchang, he gave out such generous conditions, probably because he wanted Jin Shenghuan to come to Nanchang obediently and meet him on the ground, so as to show his arrogance to the world, and also to deter the world and Jiangxi. He did too much, Jin Shenghuan didn't give him this chance, he set up the stage play but failed to sing it, which made him lose face.

With this guy's personality, if Jin Shenghuan fell into his hands, he would probably be dead.

Now Jin Shenghuan can say that there is no way forward, so he wants to hug him, but there is no joy on King Lu's face.

In the past, if Jin Shenghuan wanted to take refuge in him, he would have greeted him barefoot and overjoyed, but now even if Jin Shenghuan wanted to vote for him, it would not change the overall situation, he really couldn't be happy.

King Lu wanted to fight for the world, and he had great ambitions in his heart, but after he withdrew from Nanjing, he had no chance with his political ideals since then, and his ambition would never be realized. Even if he could keep Zhejiang this time, he would be happy Can't get up.

What he wants is the world, not Zhejiang, to be a vassal king!
"Huchen is right. At this time, if we unite, we will live, and if we divide, we will die! Since Jiangxi has been occupied by the king's thief, then you can retreat to Zhejiang with the lonely king." King Lu pondered for a while, although he was not very happy , but will not reject Kim Sheng-hwan's refuge.

After he returns to Zhejiang, Wang Yan will definitely not let him go, and will definitely send a large army to attack. With Jin Shenghuan as his team, the possibility of him defending Zhejiang will be much higher, he said in a deep voice, with no expression on his face.

When Jin Shenghuan saw that King Lu agreed, then at least he still had a place to settle down to solve his immediate urgent needs, and he felt at ease immediately, but he listened to King Lu's tone and looked at his expression, he couldn't help but clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness still has a number of powerful soldiers." Wan, don't be depressed!"

King Tang is now under house arrest by the Chu Party, and the only one who can stand against Wang Yan is King Lu. He doesn't want King Lu to lose his fighting spirit.

If King Lu is also defeated, then he can only slay himself to thank the world.

Hope failed, King Lu was inevitably depressed, but he straightened his body immediately after hearing Jin Shenghuan's words.

As the commander-in-chief, the morale of the whole army is slackened. If he also shows a depressed side when morale is low, the army will not be saved. He cannot let people see his depressed side.

King Lu didn't think about his own emotions, he was so obvious, he supported his forehead, and when he put down his hand, the depression on his body was gone.

At this moment, the king of Lu gave Jin Shenghuan a firm look, "What Huchen reminded is that the lonely king belongs to the Zhongxing imperial family, and he is the pillar of tens of thousands of soldiers to sweep away power and traitors. He should be tougher than anyone else at this time! "

Having said that, in the current situation, leaving Nanjing is tantamount to admitting failure. The king of Lu became resolute on the outside, and he could deceive the people around him, but he couldn't deceive his heart. He paused, and suddenly said: "The lonely king returns Zhejiang, the king thief will never let the lonely king go!"

Speaking of King Lu, he stood up and said with some grief and indignation: "It doesn't matter if you fail alone, even if you die. To usurp the country of my Great Ming. The lonely king thought of coming here, and his heart was like a knife. He only wished that he could not get rid of this thief, so as to sue the spirit of Taizu. If the country really fell into the hands of the king thief, the descendants of Zhu's surname would fall into the hands of the king thief Plaything, although the lonely king is dead, how can he see the past emperors in Jiuquan?"

At the beginning, King Lu had the heart to compete for the world, mostly because of his personal ambition, but now, he hated it because he was worried about the future of the entire clan and the Zhu surname.

Hearing King Lu's words, Jin Shenghuan couldn't help being silent for a while, then he got up and clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness still has nearly [-] soldiers from Zhejiang and nearly [-] soldiers. Although they are not enough to conquer the world, it is not impossible to protect ourselves against the changing times. Why did Your Highness come out like this?" Word?"

King Lu's heart was really depressed. He walked to the map and turned to look at Jin Shenghuan, "Does Hu Chen have any other strategies to break the situation?"

Jin Shenghuan immediately walked to the map, "Your Highness, let's go back to Zhejiang first, and then contact the Zheng Guo surname to form an alliance to defeat the king. , Xiamen and other places, but it is not a problem.”

"This is back to the original situation of resisting the Qing Dynasty!" King Lu sighed. He told King Tang that even if he failed, he could still go to sea, but that was just a word to encourage King Tang. How could he be willing to go ashore from Zhoushan after so much trouble? And living abroad.

To a certain extent, going to sea means giving up the world and acknowledging Wang Yan's control over the world, that is, giving up the struggle for orthodoxy in politics, which will disappoint those who pin their hopes on him. King Lu would not take this step lightly unless he had to.

Jin Shenghuan looked at King Lu, rolled his eyes, and suddenly continued: "Your Highness, if you don't want to go to sea, then just contact the North!"

"North?" King Lu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, his face changed immediately, and he shouted angrily: "You let the lonely king contact Manqing!"

In terms of strength and people's hearts, King Lu is no match for Wang Yan at all. If King Lu wants to avoid failure, he can only introduce new forces to balance the situation. He can only contact the north.

If the Manchus aggressively invaded the south, Wang Yan could only move his troops north to resist, and King Lu and Jin Shenghuan would be able to stabilize their positions.

Jin Shenghuan had already thought about it before coming, only in this way, they could at least be undefeated.

Just now, when he saw that King Lu was hesitant about going to sea, he tried it out, not wanting that King Lu would react so violently, so he immediately lowered his head and clasped his fists.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly cooled down because of this probing sentence, and Jin Shenghuan's words touched King Lu's bottom line.

But at this moment, King Lu's handsome tent was suddenly pushed aside by Wang Yi, and he walked in in a panic. He didn't pay attention to the atmosphere in the tent, but first saluted King Lu, and then immediately turned to Jin Shenghuan. Said: "Jindu Town, the pursuers have arrived, and the Jiangdong Bridge is on fire, it must be the camp of the Wuwei Army, which has been raided!"

As soon as these words came out, King Lu and Jin Shenghuan instantly forgot what they had just said, and their expressions changed drastically.
