After Lu Daqi compromised, Liang's army entered Nanchang City and announced that Gao Huan had taken over Jiangxi.

Jiangxi is a land of fish and rice. Gao Huan has obtained the land of Jiangxi, and the strength of Liang State will undoubtedly increase again.

The current territory of Liang State includes most of Henan, Zhili, Zhejiang, and most of Jiangxi.

Although in terms of area, it may not be as good as the Qing Dynasty and Zhang Xianzhong, the land occupied by the Liang army is the essence of the land, and its strength undoubtedly leaps to the top of many forces.

At this time, Lu Daqi issued an edict to Jiangxi prefectures and counties, and Gao Huan immediately issued an instruction to appease the Jiangxi officialdom and the generals of the Gan Army, promising to reuse them in order to take over Jiangxi smoothly.

There was a Lu Daqi proclamation, and the power of the Liang army defeating the Left Army, many prefectures and counties in northern Jiangxi were all declared.

In a few days, many prefectures and counties in northern and central Ganzhou came to Nanchang to pay homage to Gao Huan.

Gao Huan was kind to appease all the officials who came to visit. Gao Huan was vague at first about the temptation of the officials and gentry's policies, but with the two news coming, Gao Huan changed his mind and promised not to implement the new policy in Jiangxi for the time being, allowing many officials to temporarily settle down.

These two news, one is that the Western Army entered Jiangxi, and the other is that the Liang Army took over southern Jiangxi, but there was still a problem.

When the Left Army went south to Jiangxi, Zheng Zhilong learned the news, so he sent his general Shi Fu to lead his troops into Jiangxi and collected the three prefectures of Ganzhou, Nan'an and Jianchang, intending to advance north and south with the Left Army and divide the land in Jiangxi.

After Gao Huan forced Lu Daqi to surrender, he immediately sent his general Xu Heihu to lead 10,000 troops to Ganzhou for defense, but in the end he was still one step late.

When Xu Heihu arrived in Ganzhou, Zheng Zhilong got the moon first when he approached the water tower, and Ganzhou was already occupied by the Zheng army.

The Liang army's cavalry did not have siege equipment and it was difficult to attack Ganzhou. In addition, the mountains in southern Ganzhou were not conducive to cavalry combat, so Xu Heihu could only lead his troops back to Nanchang.

At this time, in Nanchang City, in the temporary palace, Gao Huan stood in the hall with his hands behind his back.

Xu Heihu reported: "When I arrived in Ganzhou, the Fujian Yue army had already occupied Ganzhou. I did not carry any equipment and had insufficient supplies, so I could only retreat."

Gao Huan nodded slightly, "You are right to withdraw. Now the left army prisoners consume a lot of food and grass. Jiangxi has not yet sorted out, and most of the food and grass prepared by the vassal government has consumed. If you fight in southern Jiangxi, I will find it difficult for me to send troops to reinforce for a while."

Now Gao Huan has captured nearly 500,000 left troops, which means he has opened his mouth at once and can eat a mountain every day.

This led to the fact that most of the military rations prepared by Liang Guofan's government for the Liang army were captured by the left army and consumed, making it difficult for Gao Huan to launch a new war for a while.

Xu Heihu said: "Didn't the king say that Ganzhou occupies the upper reaches and threatens Nanchang? Will the Fujian and Yue army occupy it?"

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "The scout came to report that more than 100,000 Western troops were stationed in Jiujiang and were peeping at our army. If I send troops to Ganzhou now, I am afraid that the Western troops will take over me. Since Ganzhou is allowed to be occupied by Zheng Zhilong, let him occupy it first. After I digest northern Ganzhou, I will recruit Ganzhou and the left army, drive away the Western troops, and then take back Ganzhou!"

...

Jiujiang, known as Chaisang in ancient times, is at the intersection of the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake. Since ancient times, it is known as the "estuary of the three rivers and the thoroughfare of seven provinces" and is the northern gate of Jiangxi.

When Gao Huan entered Jiangxi, after 100,000 Western Army occupied Wuchang, he followed the Left Army and entered the boundary of Jiangxi.

At this time, at the south of Jiujiang City, at the foot of Mount Lu, a camp spread. Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, and Liu Wenxiu led 100,000 Western troops to station here.

In recent years, Sichuan has been relatively peaceful in the Central Plains. The Western Army has been raising its strength in Sichuan for three years.

Although the terrain of Sichuan is closed, the Daxi regime has not been self-confessed. Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and others often pay attention to the trends of the world.

This time, the Western Army left Sichuan and saw that Gao Huan severely damaged Zuozhen in Jiangnan. When he learned that Li Zicheng was attacking Huguang, he decided to go down and seize the land of Jingzhou.

At this time, on Mount Lu, Sun Kewang stood on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance with his hands behind his back. His eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking.

This time when the Western Army left Sichuan, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu was the front army, and Sun Kewang was the back team. They captured Jingzhou, Changde, Yuezhou, Wuchang and other places in one fell swoop, and achieved brilliant results.

However, Sun Kewang's ambition was not limited to this, and Huguang could not satisfy his appetite. The Western Army's departure from Sichuan this time was only the first step to seize Huguang. Sun Kewang's next step was to annex Jiangxi, take the lead and seize Jiangnan.

This time, Sun Kewang was ambitious, but Zhang Xianzhong was old and believed in slander and only gave him 150,000 troops, which made him insufficient troops and unable to achieve the plan of swallowing whale.

Therefore, Sun Kewang thought about reorganizing the Left Army and strengthening his own military strength.

After Zuo Menggeng fled from Wuchang without fighting, Sun Kewang led his army to follow the Zuo Army and entered Jiangxi, preparing to find an opportunity to annex the Zuo Army.

Because of the need to guard against Li Zicheng and He Tengjiao, Sun Kewang lacked troops and could only follow the Zuo Army from afar, hoping that the Zuo Army and Lu Daqi would both suffer losses, and then suddenly take action.

However, Sun Kewang did not expect that Gao Huan would suddenly send troops, and in the end, Zuo Jun and Jiangxi became Gao Huan's on-the-trade food, which made Sun Kewang extremely angry.

At this time, Li Dingguo Road next to him: "Brother, things have come to this point, so don't worry about it anymore. Since the Left Army and Jiangxi were obtained by Gao Huan, with our troops, it will be difficult to defeat Gao Huan for a while. It is better to take down Xiangyang first, then wipe out He Tengjiao, and control the entire Chu land!"

Sun Kewang nodded, "Jiangxi and Zuo soldiers fell into Gao Huan's hands, and the strength of the Liang army will inevitably increase again. If Gao Huan gains a foothold in Jiangxi, our plan to unify the south will be difficult to achieve. Moreover, I see Gao Huan, who is extremely good at grasping the opportunity of fighting. If he can seize food from our mouths, he will definitely be our strong enemy in the future!"

Li Dingguo smiled and said, "Although Gao Huan is strong now, he is located in the four battles, with strong enemies from both north and south. Instead of being as good as my West Tiger occupies the southwest. Instead of being on the edge of the abyss and envious of fish, the eldest brother might as well retreat and build nets, and manage Sichuan, Sichuan and Huguang well, waiting for the changes of the times."

Sun Kewang suddenly realized and couldn't help but sigh: "Governing the country is not as good as me. I am not as good as me in using troops to fight. Today, I am like seeing the sun when I hear your words. My West Tiger lies in the upper reaches, and there are natural dangers to defend in the north. There are no strong enemies in the west and south. Just manage with your heart, enrich your money, grain, and armor. When the times change, you can go east and capture Jinling!"

Li Dingguo nodded, "It's good that brother can see through it! However, when I see Gao Huan's military use, it should be the strategy of Zhao Song, first south and then north. Now that we occupy Wuchang, it must be the thorn in Gao Huan's eyes. Jiujiang is the gateway to Jiangxi and also the barrier of Wuchang. I think Gao Huan will come to attack soon, so we have to prepare in advance."

At this time, while the two were talking, Liu Wenxiu pressed his knife and held his helmet, climbed to the top of the mountain, and said anxiously: "Two brothers, scouts discovered ten thousand Liang troops and forced them to enter Jiujiang!"
