Nanjing.
After Li Xuanshang saw the letter from his uncle Li Qin.
He leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
It seems that his uncle did not express any dissatisfaction with his behavior; on the contrary, he praised him highly.
This was what reassured him the most; he had successfully cleared his name of secretly contacting Zheng Chenggong through Sun Kaiyang.
With his uncle's transfer, his ambition to rule as the sole ruler of the south was barely raised before it was suppressed.
Now he has no choice but to join forces with his uncle to destroy Zheng Chenggong's navy.
This is the best option he can have right now.
He then wrote a letter and summoned his trusted confidant, instructing him to give a message to Sun Kaiyang in Jinling, asking him to pass it on to Zheng Chenggong.
In the letter, he said that all three towns north of the Yangtze River had surrendered to his uncle, and now there was no longer any constraint on the north of the Yangtze River.
His uncle, Li Qin, was preparing to lead a large army south.
We are currently making preparations to cross the Yangtze River west of Nanjing.
He hoped that Sun Kaiyang could contact Zheng Chenggong's navy on the Yangtze River.
I hope he can help him then.
When he arrives at his uncle Li Qin's place, he will order the cannons on the shore to bombard his uncle's ship.
At that time, you should also quickly blockade the Yangtze River as agreed.
Without a commander, his uncle's army, due to its complex composition, was bound to fall into chaos.
If they join forces and fight together, they will achieve great things.
After delivering the letter to Sun Kaiyang in Jinling.
After reading the contents of the letter, Sun Kaiyang closed his eyes in excitement.
He then told his trusted confidant that he would definitely pass the message on to Zheng Chenggong.
After Li Xuanshang's confidant left, Sun Kaiyang looked at the letter from Li Xuanshang in his hand and still felt a sense of unreality.
If Li Xuanshang truly succeeds in eliminating Li Qin, his power will inevitably crumble.
Then there is still a possibility for the revival of the Great Wu; don't forget that.
Although Li Qin's power was unmatched in the world, and he held the throne and had already begun to exercise the power of an emperor.
But in the end, if he didn't put on that yellow robe, he would just be a subject, a powerful minister.
He cannot legally pass on all his current power.
Moreover, his sons are still so young, so they are even less likely to take over his power.
Once he dies, everything he has now will go to the grave with him.
So after receiving Li Xuanshang's letter, he couldn't wait to go to Zheng Chenggong's navy on the Yangtze River.
He then handed the letter to Zheng Chenggong and said to him:
"My lord, Li Xuanshang intends to take advantage of Li's crossing of the river to launch a surprise attack on Li's boats and kill him."
"We'll need your cooperation, Your Excellency."
Zheng Chenggong looked at Li Xuanshang's letter in his hand, but showed no joy.
Instead, he simply cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Sun Kaiyang and said:
“Minister Sun, please tell Li Xuanshang that if he really makes a move, our navy will definitely go to his aid.”
Sun Kaiyang was delighted upon hearing Zheng Chenggong's words.
After seeing Sun Kaiyang off.
Zheng Chenggong looked at the letter in his hand and shook his head.
He then sighed in the direction Sun Kaiyang had left and muttered to himself:
“Minister Sun is truly something else. After His Majesty’s death and the collapse of the court, he has already fallen into a state of near madness.”
They would rush forward without hesitation if there was even the slightest chance to restore the Great Wu.
How should we coordinate with Li Xuanshang to attack Li Qin?
With so many ships in our navy, we can only wander on the Yangtze River.
There were Li's surveillance troops on the shore. If we made the slightest move, they would immediately go and report to Li.
If our navy gets close, how could that traitor Li possibly cross the river?
If you want to strike at Li Ze, you have to be far enough away from his army. If you really want to go there...
The journey takes a long time, and what if something unexpected happens once we arrive?
Let's take a look first and send the navy as close as possible.
I'll make my move if Li Xuanshang really succeeds.
If he really fails, I'll retreat.
After thinking about this, Zheng Chenggong also sighed.
Although I knew it was a bit risky, this was, after all, my best chance.
He was still prepared to take a gamble.
If he doesn't take a gamble, he might really never have another chance.
Even though he failed, Li Qin was lucky enough to survive and successfully broke through the Yangtze River.
So what?
With my own navy on the water, if I wanted to run away, could he stop me?
In the end, can't you just leave whenever you want?
Huainan.
Li Qin rode on his horse, observing the army that was already prepared.
He had already received a letter from his nephew, Li Xuanshang.
He then recounted the entire incident to his uncle, Li Qin.
They also agreed on a general time to work together in the Yangtze River basin near Nanjing to completely annihilate Zheng Chenggong's navy.
During this period, Li Qin had been organizing his army. After all, he had taken over a large number of surrendered soldiers, and Liu Chenghui, Li Hongji, Liu Sixiu and others had brought their own armies.
His army has grown dramatically.
With such a diverse and complex army, there are many issues to address, from the allocation of supplies to troop adjustments and the reorganization of the command system.
