"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 762
"Master Banner Head, I heard that imperial envoys from the imperial court have arrived in Jiangnan Province."
Zheng Song, chief of staff of the 22nd Banner Regiment Command of the Qinghe Army in Fengshui County, Dongjin Prefecture, Jiangnan Province, revealed the news he had received to Yang Zhong, the head of the banner regiment.
? Yang Zhong, the head of the banner, had just returned to Chen Ziang's command, so the news was not as well-informed as Zheng Song, the chief of staff.
"Master Zheng, where did you get the news from?"
After Yang Zhong heard the words of Zheng Song, chief of staff, he was also skeptical.
The imperial court has always regarded them as a confidant's trouble, and they can't wait to deal with them quickly. Now the imperial court has even sent an imperial envoy to Jiangnan Province, the purpose is self-evident.
"The news came from the Government Affairs Office of Jiangnan Province. Many people in the Government Affairs Office have a good relationship with me."
Zheng Song, chief of staff, did not hide the source of the news. Firstly, he wanted to confirm the authenticity of the news. At the same time, he also wanted to show off his network a little to improve his status.
After all, Yang Zhong is Chen Ziang's old brother, and he is just Chen Ziang's aide.
Now although the two of them are in charge of the 22nd Banner Regiment together, the chief of staff really doesn't have much say.
Previously, Yang Zhong was indeed not very interested in Zheng Song's staff. After all, he liked those who could charge forward, and he was only superficially polite to these lip service people.
If it weren't for the fact that Zheng Song had worked as Chen Ziang's staff and won Chen Ziang's trust, he wouldn't be so polite.
But hearing that Zheng Song had a good relationship with the people from Jiangnan Provincial Government Affairs Office, Yang Zhong couldn't help giving Zheng Song a high look.
After all, Zheng Song knew the news, but he was kept in the dark and didn't hear any news. This is the gap.
"What did the imperial court send the imperial envoy to Jiangnan province?" Yang Zhong asked tentatively.
"The situation is different now. We were weak and weak before, and the imperial court did not take us seriously."
"Now that we are strong, the imperial court has no choice but to take the initiative to win us over. They sent imperial envoys here just to win us over." Zheng Song smiled with pride on his face.
After all, the court can send people to win them over, which shows that their strength has been recognized by the court, and all of this is backed by strength.
If they were still being chased and fled around as before, I am afraid that the court would not pay attention to them. This is the importance of strength.
When you have no strength, others will not take you seriously. When you are strong, people will naturally respect you and win you over.
"I heard that the imperial court promised that as long as we submit to the imperial court, our general will be appointed as the counter-insurgency general, and he will also serve as the governor of Jiangbei and Jiangnan provinces."
Although Yang Zhong had some guesses, after hearing Zheng Song's confirmation, he felt very unhappy.
They fought life and death with the imperial court, and now the imperial court wants to shake hands and make peace with them despite the previous suspicions, what kind of thing is this.
"What's the general's attitude?"
Yang Zhong knew that Zheng Song was well-informed, so he started to inquire.
"The general didn't express his position, he just said that Mr. Song, the chief executive of Jiangnan province, should contact the imperial envoys." Zheng Song muttered to himself, "I don't know what the general thinks."
"Since the general didn't make a statement, then we should do what we should do." Yang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Zhong didn't have a good impression of the imperial court. If it weren't for the corrupt officials of the imperial court, he would not have left his hometown and lived a life of licking blood.
"Although the general didn't make a statement, there were a lot of discussions. I heard that negotiations are going to take place. I think we should suspend the attack on the southern army? Wait and see for a while?" Chief of Staff Zheng Song suggested.
Because if the Qinghe army surrendered to the imperial court at that time, it would become colleagues with the southern army.
If they beat the southern army hard now, it would be embarrassing to meet each other when they shake hands and make peace.
"They talk about theirs, we hit ours. Since the general didn't pass down a clear order, we will act according to the original plan." Yang Zhong thought for a while.
Now Yang Zhong and his 22nd Banner Regiment have compressed the Fourth Corps of the Southern Army in Fengshui County, Dongjin Prefecture through continuous encroachment.
The Fourth Corps of the Southern Army lost its troops and was exhausted by their battles.
At this time, Yang Zhong is not willing to let go of this piece of fat that reaches his mouth, and at the same time he is not willing to let go.??This opportunity to build merit.
Although the continued fierce attack on the southern army may affect the upcoming negotiations with the imperial court, Yang Zhong can't control that much.
Although he will be flooded in the future, he now only wants to eat the Fourth Corps of the Confederate Army.
Zheng Song, chief of staff, felt that he wanted to suspend the attack before the situation became clear, but was vetoed by Yang Zhong, the head of the banner.
It is indeed difficult for the Fourth Corps of the Southern Army trapped in Fengshui County at the moment.
Although they built a large number of fortifications in Fengshui County, they made Fengshui County like a fortress.
But in fact, they have lost all the outer strongholds, even the roads have been blocked, and the communication with the outside world has been cut off.
Many members of the Fourth Corps suggested breaking through the siege and retreating immediately, but the commander of the Corps was also an old-fashioned old man. He did not dare to assume the responsibility of retreating without authorization without the exact order of Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan.
So on the one hand, he ordered the troops to strengthen the defense, and on the other hand, he kept sending people to ask Luo Mingyuan for instructions on the next move.
It's just that almost all the people he sent and the people Luo Mingyuan sent over fell into the hands of Qinghe army scout Qingqi, causing them to be trapped in Fengshui County.
Although the southern army had collected a lot of food and grass in Fengshui County, the Qinghe army was everywhere around them. The southern army was tense every day, always on tenterhooks, and their morale dropped sharply.
Seeing that the Qinghe army around them became more and more active, but tentatively began to attack Fengshui County, the generals of the Fourth Corps couldn't sit still.
"We only have enough food for a week. If we don't leave, we will be trapped here to death."
"Before the thieves have yet to besiege the city, we must retreat westward as soon as possible!"
These generals found the commander of the Fourth Corps again, and requested to withdraw westward immediately and move closer to Dongjiang province.
"But without the general's order, the responsibility for retreating without permission"
"We bear it together!"
Seeing the stubborn corps commander, these generals had to compromise for their own lives, and signed their names on the retreat order.
The commander of the Fourth Corps breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone had signed their names. Even if the general blamed him, he would not have to bear full responsibility.
Under the unanimous promotion of the generals of the Fourth Corps, they finally persuaded the commander of the Corps to retreat.
Soon the Fourth Corps of the Southern Army began to make intensive preparations for the retreat, preparing dry food, packing, and loading all the trophies and other things into the car.
"The Fourth Corps of the Southern Army shows signs of retreating."
The rangers of the Qinghe Army have been monitoring the southern army camp. Seeing that they are busy mobilizing, they also reported to the head of the banner, Yang Zhong, immediately. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
