Jianye.

The news of Yangzhou falling was like a huge dark cloud that hung over Jianye.

Along with the news spreading, there were a bunch of rumors like, “Since the Qing army took down Yangzhou, they will reach Jianye soon.” These rumors made people terrified, and the atmosphere became really nervous.

During the court assembly, there were already ministers suggesting they surrendered for the safety of the people. Ouyang Shuo, this newly appointed Prince Regent, naturally became the target.

Even Hongguang emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, felt really uneasy.

Looking down at the ministers who each had their own motives, Hongguang emperor, who had lost control of the court, could only look around. In the end, he realized that the only person he could trust was Ouyang Shuo.

No matter what, Ouyang Shuo had 40 thousand troops under him.

“What do you think we should do?” Hongguang emperor asked.

Ouyang Shuo was really calm. He stepped out and said, “Do not worry, my emperor, although the enemy took down Yangzhou City, they were exploiting the situation. They have not fought head on against us, so whoever dies to who is still unknown.”

“That’s right, you are right.”

The Hongguang emperor was like a person grasping at straws, and only then did he think back to the 200 thousand player army, “Since that’s the case, please call your troops back to Jianye to defend.”

The other officials all agreed. Without many troops defending, they really would not be at ease.

When Ouyang Shuo heard that, he could only helplessly say, “Our army already has a plan, so do not worry. As for the safety of Jianye, with the 40 thousand player force along with Liu Liangzuo’s forces, it is of no worry.”

As he said that, Ouyang Shuo glanced over at Liu Liangzuo.

Liu Liangzuo could feel that gaze as his face tensed up.

“That’s right.”

Although the Hongguang emperor could not nod, he did not dare to retort Ouyang Shuo, so he just carefully said, “For safety, I hope that you move the troops back.”

For an emperor to stoop to such a level, there was really no point.

When Ouyang Shuo saw that, he had to care about the emperor’s face and nodded. As for how to plan for it, the vanguard troops would gauge the matter for themselves.

He did not believe that the combination of Guo Ziyi and Jia Xu would not be able to breakthrough a simple Yangzhou City.

…

After the court assembly was dismissed, Ouyang Shuo returned to his residence.

The small situation of the court was not much. What Ouyang Shuo was worried about was that the Great Shun and Great Xi forces that he had just contacted would be affected by the news.
