Seeing that Long Sheng was boasting, Xiong Yansheng did not expose it, and said: "General Long is brave, of course, the Qing soldiers surrendered immediately when they saw it, and we will suffer when we fight this victory pass." ”

Long Sheng said: "I just wanted to ask you?" You've won the victory, why don't you send us a letter? Xiong Yansheng shook his head and said: "Where we don't send you a letter, we don't have time at all, after we entered the city last night, the commander and General Luo Ren chased after Pingyiwei with a large army." ”

Long Sheng said: "How is it?" Are they attacking the city badly? Of course, Xiong Yansheng knew that Long Sheng was asking about the Restoration Army, because Long Sheng also surrendered to the Restoration Army in Shuixi, and he surrendered after being captured.

Xiong Yansheng said: "It's not powerful, it's fake." They don't want to die when they start a war. And I see that this commander makes the lord unable to command the army at all, and these people do not listen to him at all. ”

Long Sheng said: "How come? He was a commander appointed by the Marquis of Pingyu himself. Xiong Yansheng said: "You don't know this, when we came to Shengjing Pass." We found that the closing was strictly guarded, and even if we waited until the second half of the night, you were all attacking the city, and we would start attacking. However, the defenders on this pass still did not relax in the slightest. ”

Long Sheng said: "This is very good, maybe the defenders in this pass will go out of the pass to rescue the Qing army in the Pingyi Station when they see that we are attacking the Pingyi Station." How? Didn't they go out to save it? ”

Xiong Yansheng said: "There are Manchurian Tartars in the Pingyi Station, and the defenders here certainly don't believe that you can capture the city, and they will level the place where they will go out of the pass." The commander waited outside the pass with the army for a long time, but no one came out of the pass, so he had to let people go to the door. ”

Long Sheng said: "This is also good, as long as the door is opened by fraud, it will be much easier to attack the pass." Xiong Yansheng smiled bitterly: "How can it be so easy, the guards don't believe it at all, and shoot down with a random arrow, and several people who went to cheat the pass were injured and hurriedly retreated." ”

Long Sheng said: "This general guarding the pass is really careful, so how did you capture the pass?" Xiong Yansheng said: "Seeing that the fraud fails, we can only attack hard, but we don't have many siege equipment." How to attack becomes a problem. ”

Xiong Yansheng took Longsheng to the office lobby in the corridor, asked Longsheng to sit down, and then asked someone to bring tea. Then he said: "When I was really in command to make the adults worried, at this moment, there was a sudden loud killing on your side. And there are shouts of killing everywhere, and the generals guarding the pass may also be in a hurry, and they keep sending spies to check. ”

Long Sheng said: "This guard is also dizzy, knowing that now the army outside the city is on the side, he actually dares to send spies to inquire about the situation." Xiong Yansheng said: "Yes, we continue to intercept and kill the spies of the Qing army. The commander thinks this is very good, and when you have laid down the leveling station, you can come and help us. ”

Long Sheng said: "But you didn't wait for us to come." Xiong Yansheng said: "Listen to me, but General Luo Ren disagreed. He said that when you come to support, the credit will be so much, and so many people will be shared, and what credit will there be at that time. ”

Long Sheng smiled bitterly when he heard this: "This General Luo Ren is really a fiery temper." As he spoke, he remembered that An Kun had been chased by Luo Ren for a few days in Shuixi.

Xiong Yansheng said: "Yes, the commander and Luo Ren quarreled, and neither of them let anyone, and in the end, Luo Ren was angry and went directly to attack Shengjing Pass with his army." Seeing this, the commander had no choice but to come up with the army and attack. ”

Long Sheng frowned and said, "Isn't it too child's play to attack the Victory Pass like this?" Xiong Yansheng said: "We thought the same way at the time, but at that time, the army had already set off, and no one could change it, so we had to attack hard." ”

Long Sheng said: "Isn't this a way to let his soldiers die in vain?" Luo Ren has been following Pingyu Hou for a long time, how can he be so reckless? After saying that, he felt that it was impossible, and immediately shook his head to express disbelief.

Xiong Yansheng also said: "We also thought so at first, and we all thought that Luo Ren let everyone go out to attack in order to fight for merit. But after half an hour of attack, we realized that this was not the case at all. It turned out that as early as when he arrived at Shengjing Pass, Luo Ren sent an army of about 500 people to climb the mountain and go to the back of Shengjing Pass. ”

Long Sheng said incredulously: "He dares to transfer troops alone without the consent of the commander?" This is simply a fantasy, I'm afraid that the Marquis of Ping will not be able to tolerate him in the future, he is asking for his own death. ”

Xiong Yansheng snorted and said, "Where is this Luo Ren's unauthorized transfer of troops, this army was directly ordered by the Marquis of Pingyu, and even the commander doesn't know about it." When we got the news that someone answered us at the victory level, we were all speechless in shock. ”

Xiong Yansheng seemed to be still worried about the matter, and said: "When Luo Ren informed us, it was said that the Marquis of Pingyu asked us to launch a battle before dawn, otherwise we would be subject to military law. We have already reached this point, and the defenders of the city have also discovered us, and we still have a way to retreat there, so we have to start attacking the fortifications. ”

Long Sheng still couldn't believe that Zhu Youdong actually sent an army in addition to the army. Then I heard Xiong Yansheng say: "Although we are attacking head-on, but these Restoration Army siege is really deadly, even if they are hit by the rolling stones of the defenders of the city, as long as they can move, they will climb up the city." ”

Xiong Yansheng said, thinking of the siege the night before yesterday, he still had some palpitations. Long Sheng had also seen the Restoration Army fighting in the Pingyi Institute, and he was already somewhat immune to these, but he was still a little frightened when he looked at Xiong Yansheng's expression.

Xiong Yansheng continued: "The defenders of the city saw that the attack on the city was fierce, and in just half an hour, a large number of people had already attacked the wall. The defenders in the city were also in a hurry, and it is estimated that all the defenders on the other side were also transferred. So we were on the side of the wall, and we couldn't attack it for a while. ”

Long Sheng said: "What about the army on the other side of the Shengjing Pass?" They just watched you suffer heavy casualties? Xiong Yansheng said: "Of course not, seeing that we were blocked, the commander saw that the army on the other side of the Shengjing Pass did not attack, and immediately wanted to retreat." ”

When Xiong Yansheng said this, he couldn't help but admire those people. Said: "At this moment, the five hundred troops over there, I don't know what method they used, have actually entered the pass. They launched an attack at the pass, and the defenders at the pass were immediately in disarray. Our side also took advantage of the situation to attack the victory level. ”

Long Sheng was a little afraid to believe it: "It's that simple? Easily conquered? Xiong Yansheng said: "Yes, none of us expected that this victory level was beaten down by us in just one hour, and I guess no one can believe it." ”

Long Sheng said: "Then after defeating the victory level, do you ask them how to enter the level?" Xiong Yansheng said: "Of course we asked, but they didn't say it, and they also said that this was personally confessed by the Marquis of Pingyu, and it belonged to some kind of military secret." ”

Long Sheng was a little disappointed and said: "Such a sharp weapon, of course it can't be known." Although Long Sheng said this, he had a very disappointed expression on his face.

Xiong Yansheng saw Long Sheng's expression and said with a smile: "What is this, let me tell you something." After saying that, he looked around, and then drove out the guards and servants around him.

Long Sheng saw Xiong Yan's holy spirit and said mysteriously: "What do you want to say?" Why did you drive people away? Xiong Yansheng said: "Let me ask you something, is the An Kun family really willing to leave all this?" ”

Long Sheng was stunned, and waited for a while before saying, "Why are you asking this?" Now that the An family has moved to Chengdu, and the army has been dispersed, what can you do if you don't want to? ”

Xiong Yansheng said: "I just watched us work under An Kun together, let me remind you, don't think about that." Now this Pingyu Marquis is not simple, it is said that after the Ming Sect, he can't wait for that position, and An Kun's means are not enough for others to see. ”

Long Sheng squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, "Did you hear any wind?" Xiong Yansheng said: "There is no rumor, just the news that he is from the Daming Sect is also from the chatter of the people in the Restoration Army." ”

Long Sheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Then what are you talking about, this is something that can't be beaten with eight poles, what are you worried about." Xiong Yansheng said: "You are joking with me." Seeing that Xiong Yansheng didn't seem to be joking, Long Sheng immediately became cautious.

Xiong Yansheng said: "When I just surrendered, the commander told me to follow him, and he will protect me from glory and wealth." This is obviously an attempt to stand up to the Restoration Army, and to get me to stand on his side. ”

Long Sheng said: "I heard Zhu Shouquan and Wang Xing also talk about this, and it won't be so simple. Xiong Yansheng said: "But after seeing the Restoration Army attacking the city, as well as the mysterious army of 500 people." This Guo Li Ai changed to a different person, and he didn't say anything to let me talk to him anymore, and actually cooperated with Luo Ren to attack Pingyiwei. ”

Long Sheng suddenly became suspicious and said: "Guo Li Ai is a speculator, there must be some reason why he can change like this." We all know everything else, but the mysterious 500 people don't know about it, and it seems that the problem lies with them. ”

Xiong Yansheng said: "I think the same way, so Guo Li Ai suddenly changed." Long Sheng thought about it for a while but still didn't understand, and suddenly he thought of an organization in Daming, and said, "They won't be Jinyiwei." ”

Xiong Yansheng said: "Even Jinyiwei doesn't have the ability to fly to the sky, how did they enter the city?" Long Sheng said: "It seems that we should be careful of our duties, there is such a group of people, it seems that Pingyu Hou is really preparing for that position." ”

As the two were talking, there was a commotion outside the wall. Immediately someone came to report that the commander had brought them back. Xiong Yansheng and Long Sheng immediately got up and went to the wall, and when they saw that it was Guo Li Ai who came back, they also brought back a large number of people.

Seeing this, Xiong Yansheng immediately asked people to open the gate and let Guo Li Ai and others enter the customs. After Guo Li Ai saw Dao Longsheng, he said: "You came just in time, these people are all people from Pingyiwei, you take them to Pingyisu now, and then arrange them to be in Pingyi, and then let them return to Pingyiwei after we have repelled the Qing soldiers." ”

Long Sheng saw that Guo Li Ai kept arranging, but he didn't see Luo Ren, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to take the army to escort the people to Pingyi.

Just when Longsheng returned to Pingyi, Kunming rushed to Qujing's official road, and a large number of Manchurian cavalry were beating horses like flying, not caring about the life and death of the horses. Moreover, there were a large number of Han army banner cavalry behind, and even Wu Sangui's Guanning cavalry was constantly whipping horses behind.

Along the way, these cavalry did not consider the road situation of Yungui, but just rushed hard. There are constantly horses that fall to the ground due to road problems. Immediately, the cavalry who had no time to dodge also fell down, but now no one cared about them, the team stopped, someone came forward to check, as long as the soldiers were seriously injured, they were all abandoned.

No one took care of the horses with broken legs, no one took pity on the horses, no one cared for the soldiers, no matter how much the soldier pleaded, no one cared for them.

After these cavalry had gone away, the local people on both sides of the road came out and killed the wounded Qing soldiers. When running on the mountain roads, some soldiers who were not skilled in riding horses, because they did not control their horses in time, even fell down the mountain with men and horses.

Hong Chengchou, who was in Kunming, was also like an ant on a hot pot at this time, turning back and forth in the yamen of Kunming's political envoy. Sitting next to him was Yuan Kuoyu, the governor of Biyuan who entered Yungui with him, and his face was also very anxious, and his mouth was still muttering: "How can this be, wasn't everything okay some time ago?" How can this situation suddenly become like this? ”

This Yuan Kuoyu was originally the governor of Biyuan, and the imperial court did not let him enter Yungui. But his career was originally bumpy, and now he sees that the Ming Dynasty is about to end, if he doesn't make some military achievements, will the Qing Dynasty still have his own share at that time?

After having such a worry, Yuan Kuoyu directly came to find the nominal teacher Hong Chengchou and asked him to give an idea. Hong Chengchou was also a little embarrassed when he saw Yuan Kuoyu, and now several people he recommended have been reused, but this Yuan Kuoyu is still just a partial governor, if he leaves, maybe this partial governor will be squeezed out.

So he asked Yuan Kuoyu to lead troops to help Guangxi all the way to the Qing army, and led an army of more than 10,000 people to Guangxi to enter Yungui with Lian Guoan. Originally, he thought that Yungui would come to earn some military merits, and then take a step higher, even if Hong Chengchou left the imperial court.

Yuan Kuoyu can also gain a firm foothold in the imperial court with his military exploits, and then support each other with Dong Xueli, Li Benshen and Lin Tianqing recommended by Hong Chengchou, and he can also keep his official body.

Who knew that Yungui had been pacified well, but Yongli had been driven out of the country, and Li Dingguo could only struggle to the death on the border of Yunnan. Suddenly, it was as if the sky was falling, and the bad news kept coming, and Guiyang had fallen. The grain route of the Qing Dynasty into the Yunnan-Guizhou army was robbed, and the king of Xinjun and others rushed back to Guizhou like crazy after hearing about it.
