When the army changed its marching route and marched in the direction of Luxi, its speed accelerated.

Gao Jie wrote a special letter, sent scouts to Fuzhou, and presented it to Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian. In the letter, Gao Jie expressed his attitude and was willing to lead troops to Guangdong to conquer the rogue Zhang Xianzhong. Moreover, Gao Jie also expressed his willingness to ignore the past grievances and join forces.

Zuo Liangyu, who was stationed in Tingzhou, entered Guangdong together to encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong, and was willing to urge Pinglu Marquis Zheng Zhilong to attack Zhang Xianzhong together and unify the south for the imperial court.

As for the matter of grain and grass, Gao Jie did not mention it at all in his letter.

This letter was sent to Fuzhou as quickly as possible. Of course, the Xinyi Escort played a huge role in this.

Fuzhou, Fujian.

Zhu Yujian looked at Gao Jie's letter and his body trembled with excitement. He never expected that Gao Jie would make such a decision. As a result, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo stationed in Zhejiang must be touched. Once Gao Jie and Zuo Liangyu lead the army

Entering Guangdong to conquer Zhang Xianzhong, Zhu Yujian could publicly issue orders to Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, asking him to send troops to conquer Huguang, Sichuan and other places. Zhang Xianzhong would definitely be difficult to deal with the flanking attack of the two armies.

Huang Daozhou, a bachelor of Wenhua Palace and Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was equally excited.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the imperial court should reward General Gao for his loyalty. I believe that as long as General Gao joins forces with Zuo Liangyu to attack Guangdong and Guangxi, they will definitely win.

..."

Zhu Yujian had a smile on his face and nodded slightly.

"Master Huang is saying that I should reward Commander-in-Chief Gao for being so loyal. However, it is too early to reward him now. When Commander-in-Chief Gao leads the army into Guangdong and begins to attack the rogue Zhang Xianzhong, I will definitely reward him.

..”

Although Zhu Yujian's expression was calm, he could not suppress his inner excitement.

"Commander Gao didn't mention the matter of food and grass in his letter. I don't think it's appropriate. Commander Gao has led the army to attack for a long time. As soon as he arrived in Fujian, he will take the initiative to enter Guangdong to conquer the rogue Zhang Xianzhong. Mr. Huang, I will disembark immediately.

Purpose, you go find Dinglu Marquis Zheng Hongkui and ask him to find a way to allocate part of Gao Zongbing’s food and grass no matter what..."

Huang Daozhou nodded vigorously, cupped his fists at Zhu Yujian and spoke.

"Your Majesty, I will try my best to make Dinglu Marquis Zheng Hongkui allocate some food and grass to General Gao..."

...

Fujian General Military Mansion, wing room.

Zheng Hongkui handed the letter in his hand to Zheng Chenggong.

"What on earth does this Gao Jie mean? He actually wrote to his eldest brother, talking about conquering the bandit Zhang Xianzhong, and preparing to lead the army directly to Guangdong. Since he was thinking about conquering the bandit Zhang Xianzhong, why bother to go far away and travel a long distance to Fujian?

Fujian enters Guangdong..."

Zheng Chenggong gently placed the letter on the desk, looked at Zheng Hongkui and spoke.

"Fourth Uncle, I think General Gao has a deep meaning in doing this. The 100,000 troops led by Zuo Liangyu are stationed in Tingzhou and have done nothing. They are relying on the food and grass allocated by my Zheng family to survive. Could it be that he

Do you want to be stationed in Tingzhou for a long time? General Gao entered Fujian. After a short rest in Shaowu, he immediately set off towards Tingzhou and entered Guangdong from Tingzhou for an expedition. In this way, the two armies must meet in Tingzhou..."

Zheng Hongkui patted the table hard.

"Success, you are right. Why didn't I think that Gao Jie wanted to urge Zuo Liangyu to go to Guangdong to conquer? At least this Gao Jie is brave enough. He only has more than 50,000 people under his command. Zuo Liangyu has ten people under his command.

There are more than 10,000 people. The disparity in strength between the two is too great, and Zuo Liangyu hates Gao Jie deeply. If Gao Jie leads an army into Tingzhou, will Zuo Liangyu welcome him with a smile? Maybe he will raise a large number of troops to annex Gao Jie's command.

A large army is also possible."

Zheng Chenggong cupped his fists at Zheng Hongkui.

"Fourth Uncle, the possibility you mentioned completely exists. I think we must prevent this situation from happening and not let General Gao suffer. Fourth Uncle can write a letter to Zuo Liangyu and ask him to take into account the overall situation.

.”

Zheng Hongkui waved to Zheng Chenggong.

"Success, you don't understand the secret. This is the grudge between Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie. It is best for outsiders not to interfere. What we need to prevent is to prevent Zuo Liangyu from being too powerful. If Zuo Liangyu brazenly attacks Gao Jie,

To launch an attack, we can ask the emperor to issue an edict and reprimand Zuo Liangyu, and we can completely cut off Zuo Liangyu's food and grass, making it impossible for him to maintain in Tingzhou, forcing him to leave Fujian and go to Guangdong to conquer the rogue Zhang Xianzhong..."

A rather comfortable smile appeared on Zheng Hongkui's face.

"This matter must be reported to elder brother immediately..."

Zheng Chenggong stood up with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Fourth uncle, I'm sorry. If Zuo Liangyu and General Gao fight in Tingzhou, it will definitely trigger a shock in Fujian and the entire south. Can't we just stand by and watch..."

Zheng Hongkui walked up to Zheng Chenggong and spoke patiently.

"Success, I understand how you feel. You always want to do something for the court, but you must first consider the Zheng family. Think about it, without the support of the Zheng family, can the emperor ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor? If

Without the Zheng family to stabilize Fujian, how could Zuo Liangyu and others be so honest when they entered Fujian? They would have already led troops to Fuzhou, so the strength of the Zheng family is the first priority."

"Let's talk about the expedition against the rogue Zhang Xianzhong. Our Zheng family has sacrificed so much to support the emperor and the imperial court. What are Huguang Commander Zuo Liangyu, Fengyang Commander Gao Jie, Jiangxi Commander Liu Liangzuo, and Zhejiang Commander Liu Zeqing doing?

Nothing was done. They stood idly by and just thought about protecting their own interests. Now, it is appropriate for them to send troops to conquer the rogue Zhang Xianzhong."

"Finally, success, do you know what this letter means?"

Zheng Hongkui walked to the desk and picked up the letter.

"Gao Jie actually suggested that our Zheng family send troops to attack the bandit Zhang Xianzhong. What does he mean? Our Zheng family has sent troops. What will happen to Fujian, what will happen to Fuzhou, what will happen to the emperor, and what will happen to the court? Is it possible that Liu Liang, the commander-in-chief of Jiangxi Province, will do something?

Liu Zeqing, the commander-in-chief of Zhejiang Province, led his troops into Fujian and took control of the entire Fujian province."

"So, to be successful, we must think more about everything we do and think about all aspects..."

Before Zheng Hongkui finished speaking, his own soldiers entered the wing to report.

"Report, Mr. Huang Daozhou is here..."

Zheng Hongkui's eyes lit up and he waved to the soldiers.

"I understand, Mr. Huang, please wait in the lobby. We will be there shortly."

After the soldiers left, Zheng Hongkui spoke to Zheng Chenggong.

"Success, do you know why Mr. Huang is here?"

Zheng Chenggong thought for a moment before speaking.

"Fourth Uncle, Mr. Huang is here probably because of the matter of food and fodder for the army under General Gao."

Zheng Hongkui smiled and raised his thumb to Zheng Chenggong.

"Success, you are right. Mr. Huang came here for the purpose of providing food and fodder for Gao Jie's army. Since Gao Jie decided to go to Guangdong for the expedition, this move coincided with the wishes of the emperor and the court. The emperor must have strongly supported it, but Gao Jie came from Jiujiang

It is impossible to bring so much food and grass to Fujian, and if we go to Guangdong for an expedition, we will need more food and grass. The emperor asked us to give Gao Jie some food and grass, which will definitely boost Gao Jie's fighting spirit and let him fight with all his strength."

Zheng Chenggong nodded.

"Fourth Uncle, will our Zheng family give us this food and grass?"

Zheng Hongkui smiled.

"Special matters are treated with special treatment. Although eldest brother said when he left Fuzhou, no matter what kind of request the emperor and the court put forward, we will refuse, but this matter is different. We still have to provide Gao Jie with part of the food and grass.

He went to Tingzhou and united with Zuo Liangyu's troops to enter Guangdong, so that we can sit back and relax. Besides, my Zheng family has shown support in this matter, and everyone in the world has nothing to say."

Zheng Chenggong once again showed a worried look on his face.

"Fourth Uncle, what should we do if we provide food and grass to Commander Gao and lead to a conflict between Commander Gao and Zuo Liangyu..."

Zheng Hongkui thought for a moment.

"No problem. If Gao Jie and Zuo Liangyu's troops fight, we will no longer provide a grain of food. We will also find ways to recover the food we provided previously. We will also give a memorial to the emperor and the court, severely reprimanding Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie.

, please ask the emperor to let them leave Fujian..."

...

Luxi.

The army was marching very fast.

Zhang Dongtao looked at the advancing army and let out a long breath.

"Brother Li, it seems that Xing is really powerful and understands things very well. If it weren't for Xing's persuasion, it's hard to say what the situation would have been like."

Li Yan nodded, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face. He was similar to Gao Jie. He had a virtuous wife by his side. The red lady's ability and courage were no less than those of the Xing family.

"What the eldest brother is saying is that I don't know if Tang Wang Zhu Yujian and Pinglu Marquis Zheng Zhilong have received the letter."

Zhang Dongtao looked at Li Yan, smiled and spoke.

"The letter escorted by the Xinyi Supervisor can arrive in Fuzhou within one day. At this time, Tang Wang Zhu Yujian is not sure how happy he is, but Zheng Zhilong may be unhappy because he feels that Gao Jie is in charge of too much."

Li Yan looked at the marching team and was a little lost.

"Brother, everything is ready and all we need is the east wind. I suggest that after the army arrives in Fengning and rests for about one to two days, Zuo Liangyu will definitely know the news that Gao Jie led the army into Shaowu and will definitely make corresponding preparations.

, we cannot leave too much time for Zuo Liangyu, and we cannot let Zuo Liangyu make all preparations."

Zhang Dongtao narrowed his eyes.

"Brother Li, you are right. On the surface, we are going to join forces with Zuo Liangyu and jointly enter Guangdong to crusade against the bandit Zhang Xianzhong. No one would have thought that our most important purpose is to force Zuo Liangyu to leave Fujian and go to

Guangdong..."

Li Yan turned to look at Zhang Dongtao.
