Jiao Lian lowered his head, looking painful, but no one noticed it.

"Why is the defeated general who is so praised by the king!"

Zhao Ming helped Jiao Lian up, touched his hands and held Jiao Lian's hands, "The general doesn't have to be humble. I will follow the orphans first. When I take Guangzhou, I will be entrusted with important positions!"

Jiao Lian's courtesy name was Ruiting, and was from Shaanxi. He joined the army in his early years. He served as the general of the general, a central officer, and a deputy general of the Pingman General.

After the Qing army entered the pass, Jiao Lian and Qu Shishizui welcomed King Gui Zhu Youlang in Zhaoqing. In the first year of Yongli, Li Chengdong attacked Guilin and was defeated by Jiao Lian.

Due to his merits, he was promoted to Prince Jiao Lian's junior teacher and the left governor, Duke Xuan.

There were not many generals who could fight in the late Ming Dynasty. Jiao Lian was able to defeat Li Chengdong and defend Guilin, so he was considered a general.

However, his ending was not good. He was killed by the traitor Chen Bangfu, which was just like Gao Jie's fate.

Jiao Lian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhao Tiebang was so determined. He, a newly invested person, dared to stay by his side, and was not afraid of him assassinating him.

This made Jiao Lian feel a little moved and a little shaken. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ming valued him so much and trusted him~

However, Jiao Lian didn't know that Zhao Ming actually had confidence in himself. Although his life has become corrupt in recent years, he has excessive wine and color, and has grown fat around his waist, which has become more greasy, but his abnormal foundation is still there and most people cannot get close to him at all.

At this time, the floating bridge had been built, and Zhao Ming immediately ordered the army to cross the river and head towards Guangzhou.

The Han army defeated Jiao Lian's army, and a hundred thousand troops were moving around the mountains and fields. Haifeng, Huidong and other places surrendered.

Zhao Ming advanced all the way to Dongguan without any resistance.

After all, the Han army also used the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and supported Zhu Yihai's army. The Zhu family made their own efforts to do ordinary people and gentry!

The Han army advanced to Dongguan and became closer to Guangzhou, and Jiao Lian became more and more anxious.

That night, the Han army set up camp in Dongguan. Zhao Ming accepted a banquet for local gentry in Dongguan. He met with Chen Zizhuang, a tycoon who lived in seclusion here, to discuss the situation of the Ming Dynasty and the dispute between Tang and Lu. The genius returned to the camp after the third update.

Zhao Ming drank some wine, and after returning to the bill, he fell asleep.

At this time, two soldiers stood on their swords outside the tent, and a faint snoring sound came from the tent.

At this time, a sharp knife suddenly cut open the tent gently, and a black shadow penetrated into the tent, which was Jiao Lian.

Jiao Lian held the sharp knife tightly in his hand and stared at Zhao Ming lying on the marching bed. His face was entangled. He stared at Zhao Ming for a while, thinking about Zhao Ming's words a few days ago, but finally did not stab him to death. Instead, this hero quietly withdrew from the big tent and disappeared into the darkness.

Soon, there was a noise around the commander's tent, and the tents suddenly started. The guard commander Wang Shuang rushed in with a look of panic, which made Zhao Ming sit up suddenly.

Wang Shuang was the son of Wang Deshun. After Wang Deshun's death, Zhao Ming elected Wang Shuang as the guardian captain, and later promoted him to command the guardian to protect his own safety.

When Zhao Ming saw Wang Shuang breaking in with his guard, he couldn't help but frown and looked stunned.

Wang Shuang was relieved when he saw that Zhao Ming was fine and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Jiao Lian fought two soldiers and ran away overnight!"

Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows and suddenly saw a big hole in his tent. He couldn't help but feel a chill behind him, and almost got into a dream of killing people in his dream.

Wang Shuang said angrily: "Your Highness, I will dispatch troops to chase him now and capture him back!"

Zhao Ming came to his senses, but waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Forget it! This matter should not be made public, so as not to disturb the soldiers' rest."

Wang Shuang said, "Your Highness didn't say that Jiao Lian is very powerful. What if he returns to Guangzhou?"

Zhao Ming sneered, "I just say something in the world and can't be taken seriously. Even if there are ten Jiao Lians, I can't defend Guangzhou this time."

At this moment, Zhao Ming asked Wang Shuang to go out and said that he wanted to sleep.

Wang Shuang and others couldn't help but admire Zhao Ming when they saw this, "The king is the king. He was almost assassinated just now, but now he just fell asleep just like nothing happened. This kind of courage and heroic spirit that does not take the enemy seriously is hard for us to beat!"

However, Zhao Ming, who was lying on the bed, tossed and turned and could not sleep, reflecting on his actions.

"The Ming Dynasty has been in the past three hundred years of foundation, so how can there be no loyal ministers?"

Zhao Ming couldn't help but sigh, Jiao Lian ran away. He talked with Chen Zizhuang for the middle of the night, trying to persuade Chen Zizhuang to become an official in the Han Dynasty. Chen Zizhuang was still unmoved, so that Zhao Ming could only return without success.

The next morning, Zhao Ming came out of the tent with two dark circles and immediately ordered the army to eat a full meal and immediately set off the camp and rushed to Guangzhou.

Although Zhao Ming said that Jiao Lian was not afraid, he still urged the army to quickly pounce on Guangzhou.

In Guangzhou City, when they learned that the Han army had returned, the city was already in chaos.

Ding Kuichu was panicked at the residence of the Governor General of Guangdong and Guangxi, "What should I do if the Zhao thief is approaching?"

Chen Bangfu was also shocked, but he pretended to be calm and calm, "Don't worry about the governor of the constitution. Guangzhou has gathered a large army of 100,000, and has a humble position, so he is not afraid of the Zhao thief!"

Generally speaking, the troops and horses of the siege must be several times larger than the defenders before they can capture the city in a strong attack.

The Han army had less than 100,000 troops, and was slightly less than the Guangzhou defenders. Chen Bangfu was preparing to rely on Guangzhou to repel Zhao Ming, and became famous and went further.

Seeing that he was quite confident, Ding Kuichu felt a little relieved, so he immediately instructed: "When the King of Guangdong heard the news, he would summon my governor to discuss. At that time, you will have to explain your strategy to fight against the enemy!"

Ding Kuichu is the uncle of the late Shaanxi three-sided governor Ding Qirui, but compared with his nephew Ding Qirui, Ding Kuichu's combat level is very limited, so he can only hope that Chen Bangfu will come up with a strategy.

Chen Bangfu was overjoyed when he heard the words. This would be a great opportunity for him to control the military power in Guangzhou. He hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I will make a perfect plan, and His Highness Bao Yue King is satisfied!"

Ding Kuichu nodded slightly and said inadvertently: "This strategy~"

Chen Bangfu Lishi said with emotion: "It was only under the guidance of the Duxian that I had to complete it!"

Ding Kuichu stroked her beard, revealing her child's teaching expression.

At this moment, Guangdong Governor Chen Bangyan rushed in and said angrily: "Ding Duxian, Zhao thieves attacked a large amount of time, Jiao Lian's entire army was wiped out. The news came into the city. The army was in chaos, with more than 10,000 troops and had escaped from Guangzhou. Please ask Duxian to immediately order the troops outside the city to summon the troops to enter the city, and then close the city gates to prevent the military and civilians from escaping!"

"What, ten thousand people ran away!" Before the Han army could come, ten thousand people ran away. That's not bad. Ding Kuichu couldn't help but fight.

Chen Bangfu's heart was terrified, "Jiao Lian's entire army was wiped out!"

At this moment, the eunuch from the Prince of Guangdong came hurriedly and saluted: "Governor Ding, General Chen, Governor Chen, and His Highness of the Prince of Guangdong summoned several people and immediately entered the palace to discuss matters!"

Chen Bangfu was panicked and came to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Please tell Your Highness that Bei Yi will leave the city and mobilize troops into the city, and come later!"
