Secret Report

At the same time as the gunshots sounded, Zu Dashou issued an order for a general attack on the cavalry. Thirty thousand cavalry were divided into three routes. On the same crossroads, they rushed towards the front camp of Zuo Liangyu, who was soaring in the air with thunder. Zu Dashou's combat plan was to "cut through". Like Xiang Yu dealt with Liu Bang, he wedged into the middle with the power of elite soldiers and sharp swords, and then wedged into the middle, completely disrupting the already chaotic Zuo Liangyu's army. The soldiers must flee in all directions. When the sun sets, it is estimated that Zuo Liangyu will have no more than tens of thousands of troops left.

When Zu Dashou's army came to the front gate of Zuo Liangyu's front army, Yuan Jixian, who was ordered in danger, was still restraining the defeated generals. He also studied Yi Tusheng's combat methods. It was estimated that Zu Dashou and Yi Tusheng were exactly the same. Therefore, seeing that the artillery fire became increasingly sparse, the next thing must be the rapid sweep of the cavalry, so he prepared a 5,000-man infantry in advance to block the door, trying to stop Zu Dashou's raid.

Why only five thousand infantrymen were used instead of sending more cavalry? The reason is very simple, because all war horses were killed by artillery fire, and occasionally some were killed or not, and they were frightened and fled. They were everywhere in the mountains and fields, let alone cavalry, there were very few generals riding horses.

"Kill!" There was nothing nonsense. Seeing a remnant soldier of 5,000 people gathered outside the gate, Zu Dashou pulled out his battle knife with a silence and shouted in a loud voice. Suddenly, the earth shook and 30,000 cavalry roared.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright and the scenery was hazy. Five thousand remaining soldiers standing at the door were like five thousand chicks trembling in the cold wind. Seeing three long black dragons winding towards the world, the sound shook the world, and the horses stepped on the ground, with a momentum of unyielding and looking forward. They were all scared. The infantry fought against the cavalry in order to seek death. In addition, they were newly defeated last night and the soldiers had no intention of fighting. I don’t know who was the first to shout “Run!” Instantly, the soldiers abandoned their flags, threw away their swords and guns, and ran away from all directions.

"There is no need to fight, just rush into the camp. Those who violate the order will be killed!" Zu Dashou was afraid that his subordinates would be greedy for money and horses, so he hurriedly ordered. The cavalry whistled by and killed the deserters along the way. The others let them scatter their birds and beasts.

Yuan Jixian had already restrained the remaining soldiers with more than 20,000 people and was about to go to Changzhou Prefecture to meet Zuo Liangyu. At this time, Zu Dashou came. Yuan Jixian was very brave and very loyal to Zuo Liangyu. In order to gain some time for Zuo Liangyu, he led 15,000 remaining soldiers to quickly block the village gate and confronted Zu Dashou's cavalry.

But the cavalry were cavalry after all, and the elite among the elite. Once they came into contact with Yuan Jixian's defeated soldiers, they completely gained the upper hand. This was not a war, but a massacre. The cavalrymen took their swords and fell, cutting vegetables and melons to harvest the lives of the defeated soldiers, just like black man-eating ants, and there were corpses everywhere. The battle lasted less than half an hour. Not only did the remaining defeated soldiers and generals be wiped out, but even Yuan Jixian died in the chaos. Zu Dashou did not even find the opportunity to fight him one-on-one. The cavalry continued to move forward.

Unfortunately, Yuan Jixian delayed the half hour, and Zuo Liangyu and the remaining troops had all evacuated the camps of the Central Army and the Hou Army. In a panic, large areas of food, grass and military supplies were left, but no ambush was left, which made Zu Dashou pick up a big advantage in vain.

"Immediately, Fei Ge sent a letter to the emperor's father, the Regent, and said that our army won a great victory this morning. Zuo Liangyu fled to Changzhou Prefecture. Zuo Dashou led the army to continue pursuing south. He hoped that Jiujiang General Hua Sheng could come to participate in the battle as promised and wipe out Zuo Liangyu in half a month!" At noon, Zuo Dashou had basically completed the mobilization of more than a dozen camps of Zuo Liangyu. In addition to seizing countless supplies, he also captured nearly 15,000 deserters.

Around lunch, Yi Tusheng was sent by a letter from Zu Dashou. He was sitting in a luxurious carriage and drinking, thinking about two things in his mind, one is the battle between Zu Dashou and Zuo Liangyu, and the other is when Chu Shaoyang will come back. It should be almost half a month!

Cao Huachun rode a war horse outside the carriage with a carrier pigeon and reported: "Prince, there is an emergency battle report!" Yi Tusheng frowned and asked coldly: "There is no war, how can there be a war report?!" Zu Dashou had no report before launching the attack. Yi Tusheng did not expect that he would start a war with Zuo Liangyu so soon.

"Yes, General Zu Dashou..." Cao Huachun said in a delicate voice. Yi Tusheng put down his wine glass and stretched out the window to grab the white pigeon. He took the secret letter on his legs and opened it to watch. He suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Okay, it's great, take the paper and pen!" The little eunuch immediately presented the paper and pen.

Yi Tusheng immediately wrote two letters in the carriage, one replying to Zu Dashou, tied it directly to the pigeon's legs, and then put the pigeon back. The second letter was written to Hua Sheng, the general of Jiujiang, who ordered him to rush to Changzhou to participate in the battle of Changzhou, and assist Zu Dashou in destroying Zuo Liangyu.

The wind was cold and Jingkou was ahead. Countless local officials gathered here to send the last journey to the Queen Mother and the Prince Regent. At about this time tomorrow, everyone will cross the Yangtze River from here. The only thing Yi Tusheng can't rest assured is Zuo Liangyu. At this moment, he was completely relieved, so he was in a very comfortable mood.

"Go and tell the Empress Dowager, just say that Zuo Liangyu conspired to rebel and was defeated by General Zu Dashou. Now he has run back to Changzhou Prefecture. Please rest assured that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. I will do my best to eliminate Zuo Liangyu as soon as possible. I will never let these traitors threaten the rule of Your Majesty." Lifting the curtains, Yi Tusheng said coldly to Cao Huachun with his face sideways.

Xiaotao was worried about what happened last night and rolled his eyes at Long Xuan and was angry. He saw Cao Huachun walking in from outside the door, thinking: This dog slave is becoming more and more distorted. After the Ai family takes power, they must tear him to pieces to vent their hatred.

Cao Huachun coughed, bowed slightly and said, "Empress Dowager, I have something to report. It was the emperor's father, the Regent, who asked me to come." Xiao Tao snorted contemptuously and nodded, "Empress Cao, please say something!"

Cao Huachun smiled and said, "The emperor's father, the regent, asked the slave to give you a message: I just received this morning that Ningnan Bo Zuo Liangyu plotted to rebel and attack Nanjing early this morning, but was defeated by General Zu Dashou. He has suffered heavy losses and has retreated to Changzhou Prefecture. The emperor's father, the regent, asked the two palaces to rest assured that Zuo Liangyu's scabies disease is not enough to cause trouble. The prince's heroic talent is invincible in the world, and he will immediately quell the rebellion!"

"Oh, there is such a big happy event!" Xiaotao's heart was overturned. She doubted the authenticity of this information and thought, was Zuo Liangyu really so useless that she was about to collapse at once, and she was so angry that she even regarded him as a savior.

"Zuo Liangyu, cough cough, he isn't dead, right?!" Xiaotao continued.

"I haven't died yet, and I have retreated to Changzhou Prefecture now. Other slaves are not very clear about it." Cao Huachun said.

"Okay, the Ai family knows it, and reply to the regent of the emperor. The Ai family and the emperor are not worried at all. With the big tree of the regent of the emperor, the regent of the emperor, we mother and son will not be hit by the wind and rain. In addition, please rest more, take care of our health, and make more contributions to the country in the future." Xiao Tao turned his face, waved his hand, and signaled that Cao Huachun could go out.
