The Jiangnan crisis was in a state of storm overnight, and everyone in the Jinling court fell into an extremely panic.

Prime Minister Lu Shanchang gave advice to Emperor Xinde, asking Emperor Xinde to be in charge of the government in a time of crisis. Emperor Xinde refused to let him suffer from illness and need to recuperate. The court was even more surprised.

Then the Censorate Supervisor Wang Tongqiu wrote a letter to Emperor Xinde, saying that the difficulty in Jiangnan began when someone colluded with the enemy in Jiangnan. Prime Minister Duan Tanglin, King Huainan and King Lingnan both colluded with him and wanted to change the dynasty of Dakang, and asked Your Majesty to severely punish him.

Emperor Xinde was furious and ordered the Ministry of Justice to arrest Duan Tanglin in prison. The next day, Duan Tanglin was exiled to Mianzhou and served as Sima of Mianzhou.

Then the Duan family's forces in the court were completely cleaned up, and the court in Jiangnan changed its color overnight. The forces that were originally ready to challenge Lu Zheng were hit by a major blow. Without the Duan family and the Zuo family, who would dare to challenge the majesty of the Lu family in Jiangnan?

The Lu family took advantage of this crisis to clean up the court and eliminate all kinds of noises. The reason why Emperor Xinde cooperated with the Lu family was that the situation was so urgent that he had to surrender.

After all, the Lu family has no rebellious intentions at present. In comparison, Sun Chongwen of Huainan Road and Bai Jingzhong of Lingnan Road have already become king. Cao Weiming of Lianghe even regarded the royal family as slaves and beat, scolded and humiliated Prince Dakang. This kind of stimulation to the royal family and Emperor Xinde was too great.

The safety of Jiangnan now concerns Dakang's last hope. Even Emperor Xinde, who is keen on playing conspiracies, has to put treasure on Lu Zheng. Over the years, Lu Zheng has not disappointed him. This time he firmly believes that Lu Zheng will not disappoint him.

Faced with the attacks from both sides of the north and south, Lu Zheng personally led his troops to respond to the enemy, and the main force stationed troops on the Chenzhou line. This was two hundred miles away from the Huaihe River. He abandoned the natural danger of the Huaihe River and defended the Chenzhou line. This was undoubtedly beyond Sun Chongwen's expectations. After Sun Chongwen arrived at the Huaihe River for a long time, he was very cautious.

Hearing that Lu Zheng did not set up defenses on the other side, he couldn't help but sarcastically and confidently jumped. He immediately organized a crossing of the river and crossed the Huai River. In front was Qingmaji, and behind Qingmaji was the Sky Cliff, which was on the rush to march into the south of the Yangtze River and heading south.

Sun Chongwen led his troops to Qingmaji. His vanguard general was named Sima Mingda. Sima Da was Sun Chongwen's brother-in-law. He was not very old and extremely brave. He was a standard general with simple mind and well-developed limbs.

The general of the Jiangnan side was Zhao Yunlong. This person was originally from the Two Rivers. After Cao Weiming rebelled, most of the people from the Zhao family were killed. Lu Zheng took action to protect Zhao Yunlong as a servant of the Lu family. This time he went to the expedition, he gave Zhao Wenlong a side general and asked him to lead 3,000 people to deal with Sun Chongwen.

Zhao Yunlong rushed up and led the three thousand troops and Simada to fight for a day. The two sides were indistinguishable. When Sun Chongwen heard the battle ahead, he immediately led the follow-up troops to follow up.

Zhao Yunlong was defeated and retreated quickly. Sun Chongwen ordered Simada to pursue him quickly. Simada was a brave and fierce man. This time he served as the vanguard, and his mind was to make more contributions, because Sun Chongwen promised him that after taking over the capital, Sun Chongwen would become the emperor and ascend the throne, and then Simada would inevitably be granted the title of King of the opposite sex.

It was all about being the king and marquis. How could Sima Da not be excited about it? So he bravely tried his best to pursue Zhao Yunlong, hoping to chase him directly to Jinling before he could give up.

From Qingmaji to the sky cliff, he immediately came to persuade Zhao Yunlong to be careful that there were natural dangers in the sky cliff and to beware of the enemy's ambush.

Sima Da ignored these things and was determined to raise troops to pursue them, but was stopped by Sima, a marching marching man sent by Sun Chongwen. The advisers around Sun Chongwen also suggested that there might be an enemy ambush in the Motian Cliff, and it would be better for the vanguard army and the army to advance together, so as to ensure that there is no security.

Simada was so depressed. After waiting for a few hours, Sun Chongwen's army rushed over from behind. The army passed through the sky cliff together. In front of him was a flat horse. Simada ran to Sun Chongwen's military tent angrily and made a big fuss. He shouted:

"Which bastard said there was an ambush on the Sky Cliff? I've said it long ago that Lu Zheng didn't have many soldiers in his hands, most of them had to keep guarding the capital. The maximum number of soldiers and horses that could be used on hand was only 20,000!

Even if he sets an ambush of 20,000 people, it will be a dead end on the Motian Cliff. Hehe, you cowards are not enough to succeed and have missed opportunities for war!"

He paused, pointed at the front with his fingers and said, "Look at the front, from here to Chenzhou, it is full of flat horses. How did Lu Zheng set up an ambush? How did he set up an ambush?"

Sima Da cursed, making the strategists blush and unable to speak. Sun Chongwen stood up to help the strategists and said, "Okay, Dazi, you lead the army to kill, the cavalry rushed forward, take down Chenzhou in one go, and capture Lu Zheng alive!"

He smiled coldly and said, "Lu Zheng, who is known as the world's number one talent, is really hard to be worthy of his reputation. I will destroy Lu Zheng, so that the people in the world can see the strength of our Huainan Army, haha!"

Sun Chongwen was extremely proud. Chenzhou was in front of him. The scout came to report that Lu Zheng's soldiers were guarding the front line of Chenzhou. How many soldiers and horses Lu Zheng still had? Look at his Huainan Army, his troops are strong!

Simada received encouragement and immediately ordered 30,000 troops to open the road in front and headed straight to Chenzhou. It was already late at this time, so he ignored it and ordered the cavalry to go day and night, pointing to the soldiers coming to Chenzhou in the morning.

After the march was in the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a "crash" sound coming from the front. Sima of the army came over and said, "General, I feel that the situation is wrong. It seems that I can smell the fishy smell. Is there an enemy ambush?"

Simada slapped him and slapped the marching Sima off the horse, and said angrily: "The ignorant child dares to shake my morale. Where can there be any ambush in this flat place?"

Before he could finish his words, the soldiers in front screamed, and someone shouted: "No, no, there is water coming in front!"

Sima Da was stunned. He immediately wanted to ride a horse forward to see what was going on. He felt that the horse under his crotch would not listen to the hell. He immediately lowered his head and saw that the water had flooded, almost flooding the horse's belly. For a moment, his expression changed drastically and said, "Someone broke the river bank in front. Retreat quickly, we retreat quickly!"

Simada led almost all of the cavalry this time. When the flood was flooded, most of the mounts were immersed in the water. If they wanted to escape, they would splash everywhere. Once the horse was frightened, it would run around in the water, and the army would be in chaos.

There are countless people who fall off a horse. Once they fall off a horse, they will be flooded by floods. Even people with water nature will be covered with horses and people all over the world, and most of them will be trampled to death by horses.

This scene made Simada both nervous and brave. He retreated desperately and retreated four or five miles away. The water gradually became shallower. When he looked around him, there were only a few riders left. For a moment, he couldn't help but get angry. Thinking that tens of thousands of soldiers suffered such a big defeat this time, he almost fell from the horse.

It was so miserable. He stayed until dawn, and then saw that the official road in front of him turned into a Zeguo. The people drowned in the Zeguo looked over at the sight, which was shocking and afraid to look at it.

He immediately asked the Sima Guan under his command to count the escaped people. After the three of them counted, there were only eight thousand remaining soldiers left. Before the battle was fought, two-thirds of the soldiers were lost. This defeat was simply unbearable to look at it.

"Lu Zheng, you are treacherous! It's really... puff!" Simada was so angry that he vomited blood. It turned out that although there were no dangerous places to guard the plains of Jiangnan, the water network in Jiangnan was well developed, but it was also a trap everywhere.

This time, the place Lu Zheng chose to take action was the depression of the official road, which directly broke the Huaihe River embankment, and the flood instantly poured back into the depression. It was about ten miles long and four or five miles wide, and all became a country of Ze. It looked green and vast. Such a large area was flooded, let alone 30,000 people, even 100,000 people and horses together, it would inevitably be bad luck!

Sun Chongwen set up camp to rest at night and had many dreams all night. When he woke up in the morning, he immediately asked the scout about Chenzhou's situation, but suddenly heard the bad news that his brother-in-law almost drowned. He overturned several cases in the tent and was so angry that he jumped up and cursed!

The counselors came forward to persuade him, and he said angrily: "Simada, a reckless person, I deserve to die. I want to ask him!"

Sun Chongwen waved his hand and looked around and said, "What are you still standing there? Immediately call for help!"

Sun Chongwen was angry, and the army quickly set off, rushed forward and rushed to Chenzhou. Sun Chongwen was really angry. This time he took out all the power in Huainan, and wanted to do a big battle to destroy Jiangnan! Now, before the battle started, he had lost the cavalry first. These cavalry were all the wealth he had accumulated over ten years!

His heart was bleeding, so he couldn't wait to urge the army to rush forward. After walking for half a day, he suddenly heard a huge uproar in front of him, then heard the sound of water flowing over and over again, and then another flood that flooded countless troops!

It turned out that Lu Zheng also prepared a trap from Sun Chongwen's camp to Simada's flooding. He deliberately did not trigger it on the first day, but instead took action against Simada in the second trap. At that time, he considered the situation today.

When Sun Chongwen heard that Sima Da was flooded, he must have been anxious to rescue him. According to the normal thinking of ordinary people, he would not have thought that there was still a trap in the middle of the two armies. Lu Zheng used this blind spot of thinking to break the dam while the chaos was in chaos. Sun Chongwen fell into the trap again because it was during the day, and the losses caused by flooding could not be compared with those at night. However, this wave of flooding also caused Sun Chongwen to lose as many as seven or eight thousand people!

More importantly, the morale of Sun Chongwen's army was frustrated. They were originally arrogant soldiers and powerful soldiers, but after they arrived in Jiangnan, they took one stone to capture Jinling and establish immortal achievements!

Now, two consecutive waves of water flooded, and 20,000 to 30,000 troops were drowned first. How many thousand are there left in the so-called 100,000 troops?

Another point is that the flood flooded the army and cut it down. Taking advantage of the cutting, several generals under Lu Zheng, Zhao Yunlong, Chen Lizhong and Wang Wenbing, each led thousands of cavalry to descend from the sky to harvest their lives. The cavalry on the plains were simply a massacre machine.

Infantry generally needs to ensure the formation of the cavalry, and strict formations are needed to make up for the shortcomings. However, now the army is flooded, the people are dispersed, and the command is not smooth after the army is cut. At this time, the cavalry descends from the sky again, which is simply a massacre.

Sun Chongwen never dreamed that there would be such powerful cavalry in the Southern Palace Army. Faced with the surging cavalry, he completely lost his fighting spirit, and his only thought was to escape!

The main general fled, and the other soldiers were still in love with each other. The Huainan Army was killed and defeated in this battle, which was simply unbearable.

Sun Chongwen retreated to the Sky Cliff before he stopped the collapse. He gathered the remaining soldiers and found that only half of his 100,000 troops were left!

With just 40,000 troops and horses, how could he fight against Lu Zheng's cavalry on the endless plain? At this time, Sun Chongwen became a rabbit being chased, the arrogant Huainan Road military horse, and was killed in Jiangnan for only ten days.

In a panic, Sun Chongwen set up a camp, and the adviser Tang Xun made a suggestion: "Prince, we should do the trick to remain unchanged and change. Let's take a break for the time being!

The crisis in Jiangnan is not just our Huainan army. The 150,000 Lingnan army has also rushed from the south at this time. More importantly, the Shandong Liaodong Iron Cavalry has already gone south and arrived in Xuzhou. It should be able to come soon. Jiangnan is now a piece of fat. We will stabilize it first, and then slowly plan it, and there is still a chance!"

Sun Chongwen sighed. At this moment, his ambition had been almost wiped out! I think how high his ambition was when he sent troops from Huainan. He was very focused on sweeping across Jiangnan and occupying a place with strong imperial spirit in Jinling. He used the emperor to order the princes to pacify all the rebels from Dakang, and change the country and change the owner. His surname Sun also wanted to be the master of Jiangshan!

However, now it is only more than ten days, and he was shocked by this blow. Half of the accumulation of more than ten years has been destroyed. He realized that he had been too far away in Huainan Road these years. Lu Zheng, the world's number one talent, could become a powerful minister of Dakang at such a young age. How could he be an ordinary and easy person to grasp the political and military affairs of Jiangnan?

In comparison, Sun Chongwen is no match for him? I have to say that Sun Chongwen has now gone to another extreme. He was too confident before, but now he is like a frightened bird and has completely lost the courage to compete for the world.
