He Zhen said: "It's not a big deal, and the people involved are a little troublesome." Zhu Youdong said "oh" and said, "Then who are you involved in?" He Zhen glanced at Zhu Youdong and said, "Does Master Hou remember Tan Shuanghua?" ”

Zhu Youdong said with a puzzled face: "Didn't the messenger say that it was about Li Xiao last time?" Why is it related to Tan Shuanghua again? ”

He Zhen said: "It's really about Li Xiao, this Tan Shuanghua is said to have run away from Chongqing alone." Zhu Youdong said: "She did leave alone from Chongqing, and I asked people to follow her secretly until she returned to Wanxian safely." ”

He Zhen said: "But she didn't go back to Wanxian at all, but went to Kuidong Dachang." Zhu Youdong was shocked: "What? What did he do in Dachang? It's just nonsense. ”

He Zhen said: "The nonsense is still to come, after he arrived in Wanxian, he pretended to pass on the military order that he would let Kuidong's army set off to attack Shizhouwei." Zhu Youdong was even more shocked when he heard it, although he also let Kuidong's generals wait for an opportunity to attack Shizhouwei, but at that time, when Kuidong's safety was determined.

Tan Shuanghua just faked the military order, didn't take into account the actual situation of Kuidong at all, and rashly transferred Kuidong's army away, and if something happened to Kuidong, it would be very dangerous.

Zhu Youdong hurriedly asked: "The Duke of Anhui didn't send troops, Kuidong can't be messed up." He Zhen said: "The Duke of Anhui can't let Tan Shuanghua send troops with a word, and no one knows who she is at all, how dare they send troops casually." ”

Zhu Youdong suddenly put his mind at ease and said: "Fortunately, it seems that in the future, we will have to strengthen the news that the various armies have only seen, otherwise the Qing army will take advantage of the loophole, and our losses will be great." ”

He Zhen said: "Of course. But as soon as Tan Shuanghua saw that they didn't believe her words when they saw the Wanguo Duke in Kuidong, he said: 'I am the person next to Zhu Youdong, and you are disobeying military orders like this'. In this way, they are a little uncertain about the Duke of Wanguo. ”

Zhu Youdong's face turned black when he heard this, and suddenly a woman ran to your daughter-in-law's mother's house, saying that it was someone close to you, and it was estimated that everyone's house would blow up. In addition, Zhu Youdong is now powerful and powerful, with more than 100,000 troops under his command, it would be better if it was a man who spoke, but it was a young and beautiful woman who spoke, and the people around him were almost equivalent to pillow people.

He Zhen continued: "Hearing her say this, the Duke of Anhui hesitated. Li Xiao also knew about this, and immediately made a noise. Fortunately, there was Lin Guogong who was present and pressed down, and at this time, the person you sent to protect Tan Shuanghua stood up and said that Tan Shuanghua was indeed your guard. Lin Guogong and they couldn't be sure that what Tan Shuanghua said was false, and Jing Guogong often went to Shizhouwei to carry out activities, so he immediately prepared to send troops to Shizhouwei. ”

When Zhu Youdong heard this, he immediately wanted to pull the few people who protected Tan Shuanghua and strangle him to death on the spot. Isn't it good for you to explain it to everyone directly? I also said that it was indeed my guard, such a delicate woman as a guard, who would believe it.

Fortunately, things were not out of control, and he immediately said: "Fortunately, Jing Guogong and their dispatch of troops to Shizhou Wei was a planned thing." As long as Jing Guogong and they are sure that Kuidong is safe."

He Zhen looked at Zhu Youdong with some embarrassment and said: "It would be good if it was just like this, Li Xiao was stimulated by Tan Shuanghua, and felt that it was because he couldn't lead the troops that made you find another Tan Shuanghua, so he clamored to lead the troops to the battle, and they couldn't screw the Linguo Duke in Kuidong, so they had to let Li Xiao also go on the expedition." ”

Zhu Youdong said a little apologetically: "It's nothing, with the Duke of Jing Guo, it's okay to think about it." He Zhen said: "Yes, Li Xiao is fine, but Li Xiao doesn't want Tan Shuanghua to follow him to earn some military merits, so he immediately let Tan Shuanghua stay in Kuidong." ”

Zhu Youdong said with a little weakness: "It's okay, at that time, she was just an official who was casually named her, and no one took it seriously." He Zhen said: "We shouldn't be serious, but the people of Kuidong and Li Xiao are serious." Now that the two women are fighting, of course, everyone in Kuidong is helping Li Xiao, so they all agree to let Tan Shuanghua stay in Kuidong. ”

Zhu Youdong didn't know what to say for a while, Tan Shuanghua was indeed beautiful, but now Zhu Youdong really didn't have this thought. Now that He Zhen said this, I really miss Tan Shuanghua when he was by his side, after all, every man wants to bring a beautiful woman by his side.

He Zhen said again: "Tan Shuanghua saw that Kuidong and everyone excluded her, so she left Kuidong in a fit of anger, and no one knew where she went. When Zhu Youdong heard this, he became worried and said: "It's just the temper of my daughter's family, and I am about to run away with a few words, so the world is not peaceful." ”

He Zhen said: "Hou Ye doesn't have to worry about this Tan girl, let's first say that Li Xiao and Jing Guogong set off from Dachang with a large army and entered Shizhouwei from the beginning of construction, plus Jing Guogong often entered Shizhouwei, so it only took ten days to occupy Shizhouwei." Shizhouwei all the Tusi surrendered one after another. Even the Yongshun Xuanwei Division also had some Tusi who were willing to surrender to Jing Guogong. ”

Zhu Youdong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, after Shizhouwei is taken, there will be land passage between Kuidong and Chongqing, and Kuidong will be faster when he sends troops to Chongqing or Guizhou." ”

He Zhen said: "What Master Hou said is right. Originally, Jing Guogong saw that Shizhouwei had been recovered, and as long as he strengthened the defense of Shizhouwei and Kuidong, he could ensure that the east of the entire Sichuan was worry-free. ”

Zhu Youdong said: "It's true, is there any change?" He Zhen smiled bitterly: "Yes, this is going to talk about Tan Shuanghua who left Kuizhou." ”

Zhu Youdong really had a headache and said, "What's wrong with this Tan Shuanghua?" He Zhen said: "After Tan Shuanghua came out of Kuidong, she still didn't go back to Wanxian, she went directly to Shizhu. ”

Zhu Youdong was shocked: "This girl, why did she suddenly go to the stone pillar again, is it Qin Liangyu's stone pillar?" He Zhen nodded and said: "It is the stone pillar of the Marquis of Loyalty, no one thought that he would go back to the stone pillar at that time, and no one cared, who knows, a few days later, the entire stone pillar suddenly saw the troops." ”

Zhu Youdong was a little worried: "Shizhu sent troops? Where did they send troops? He Zhen said: "Of course, we didn't send troops to attack us, but we sent troops to attack Shizhouwei's Datian. Zhu Youdong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Shizhu sent troops to Datian? Fortunately, there was no trouble. ”

He Zhen smiled bitterly: "Where there is no chaos, this is the beginning of chaos." Zhu Youdong said again: "What's the matter? It wouldn't be that Li Xiao and Tan Shuanghua met in Shizhouwei and made trouble again. ”

He Zhen nodded first, then shook his head and said, "Of course I did." Originally, Li Xiao and Jing Guogong captured Shizhouwei together, and they were reorganizing Shizhouwei's troops. When I heard that the Ming army was also coming from Daejeon, and I was still under the banner of Pingyu Marquis, I was immediately shocked, and I went directly to Daejeon with the army. ”

Zhu Youdong couldn't help but raise his heart to his throat, if the two sides are not good, it will be troublesome to fight. Zhu Youdong looked at He Zhen anxiously, and He Zhen said: "Jing Guogong and Li Xiao went to Daejeon to take a look, where is you Pingyu Marquis, it turned out that Tan Shuanghua captured Daejeon under your banner. ”

He Zhen looked at Zhu Youdong with a smile as she spoke, and said, "As soon as Tan Shuanghua and Li Xiao met, of course you and I were not convinced. I don't know what method Tan Shuanghua used, the leading generals of Shizhu, Ma Wannian and Qin Yiming, actually stood on Tan Shuanghua's side. ”

Zhu Youdong didn't understand what method Tan Shuanghua used, so he said: "Jing Guogong didn't have any conflict with Shizhu's people." He Zhen said: "There is no conflict, Jing Guogong saw that Shizhu's army had already occupied Datiansuo, and it was not easy to persecute too much, so he had to let Tan Shuanghua lead Shizhu's soldiers and horses and stationed in Datiansuo." ”

Seeing this, Zhu Youdong was relieved and said: "Jing Guogong still takes the overall situation into account. He Zhen said: "Jing Guogong didn't say anything, but Li Xiao was reluctant. thinks that this is Tan Shuanghua's deliberate provocation, and wants to compete with Tan Shuanghua. ”

Zhu Youdong frowned and said: "Li Xiao, this is a bit disregardful of the overall situation, and now the land of Kuidong is still mainly defensive." ”

He Zhen was also a person from Kuidong before, and when he saw that Zhu Youdong said that Li Xiao was not, he immediately said: "Li Xiao is not ignorant, he is also angry that Tan Shuanghua mobilized the army without authorization, and also sent troops to Shizhou Guard." After all, Jing Guogong has already begun to reorganize in Shizhouwei. Suddenly, an army that has been under the banner of Hou Ye and you suddenly appeared, which will also arouse the suspicion of various toasts. ”

He Zhen saw that Zhu Youdong was silent and did not speak, so he said: "These two people are not convinced by each other, so they immediately made a bet to see who has the ability to lead the army." Jing Guogong saw that the two of them were quarreling again, and there were no conditions to send troops at that time, so he directly refused. ”

Zhu Youdong said: "After all, Jing Guogong has been a veteran of military affairs for many years, and he can still understand these things. He Zhen said: "Although Jing Guogong was suppressed at that time, but at this time, he sent troops from Linshui and Dianjiang to capture Zhongzhou, and the commander of the Fifth Army stationed in Zhongzhou, Song Gaoju, saw that Kuidong had sent troops to attack Shizhouwei, and immediately led the army into Shizhouwei, and also arrived at Daejeon. ”

Zhu Youdong said: "This is just right, strengthening the defense of Kuizhou and Shizhouwei. He Zhen said: "It would be good if this was the case, but with the arrival of Song Gaoju and the encouragement of Tan Shuanghua and Li Xiao, Jing Guogong also felt that he could send troops." Therefore, Jean agreed to Li Xiao's suggestion and went south to capture Yongshun, Baojing Prefecture and Chenzhou Prefecture. ”

Zhu Youdong was shocked: "Kuidong doesn't have so many troops at all, Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang, and Li Yinzu, the governor of Huguang, are both people who understand military affairs." He Zhen said: "These marquis don't have to worry too much, now that most of the Hu's army has been transferred to Yungui by Hong Chengchou, the Qing army will not be able to launch an offensive against Kuidong in a short period of time." ”

Zhu Youdong said: "Even so, you can't lead the army south so rashly." Where have they been now? He Zhen said: "Jing Guogong and Li Xiao have taken Yongshun and Baojing Prefecture with a large army, and now they are attacking Chenzhou Mansion. ”

Zhu Youdong said curiously: "Why are there only the armies of Jing Guogong and Li Xiao, Tan Shuanghua and Shi Zhu?" He Zhen said: "Tan Shuanghua and Shizhu's army was unwilling to accept the command of Jing Guogong and Li Xiao, and chose to return to Chongqing to go south with the Youyang Peace Tea Cave Division, and now they have captured Tongren Mansion and Sinan Mansion. ”

Zhu Youdong was shocked: "How can they have such a fast speed? He Zhen said: "Song Gaoju saw that Tan Shuanghua and others had too few troops, so he transferred Li Shuisheng to bring two thousand troops to help him. ”

Zhu Youdong said: "Even so, it won't be so fast." He Zhen said with a smile: "This is thanks to Pingyu Hou for your goodwill all the way, you went south from Shiqian Mansion and befriended the Miao people all the way." The Miao people in Sinan Mansion and Tongren Mansion have also received the news for a long time. Now Tan Shuanghua led his troops to the south in two ways, all the way into Sinan Mansion and all the way into Tongren Mansion. The armies of both roads did not commit any offense against the people, and they also vigorously befriended the Miao and the Gelao people. These natives have the example of Hou Ye in front of them, and now Tan Shuanghua is invincible under the banner of Hou Ye? ”

Zhu Youdong couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "This girl is now learning and using it, so where are they now?" He Zhen said: "Ten days ago, the message said that I was about to arrive at Sizhou Mansion, but I had to send people all the way to receive the cities scattered all over Shiqian, and now the troops are too scattered, so I want to rest after capturing Sizhou Mansion." ”

Zhu Youdong said: "In this way, Li Xiao and Jing Guogong will fall behind, I'm afraid that the two of them will not look good on their faces." He Zhen said with a smile: "Master Hou, you underestimate Jing Guogong and Li Xiao's girl too much, although they didn't march with Tan Shuanghua, they also always pay attention to this Tan Shuanghua and them." Seeing that Tan Shuanghua led the army to easily take Sinan and Tongren Mansions, he immediately inquired into the specific situation in many ways. ”

Zhu Youdong was surprised: "Then where is Li Xiao's army now?" He Zhen said with a smile: "Hou Ye, don't forget that there are also a large number of Miao people in Xiangxi, Li Xiao and Jing Guogong understood that Tan Shuanghua and others had captured Sinan Mansion, and they immediately changed their approach to the army, befriended the Miao people, and it is said that they have invaded Chenzhou Mansion." The exact circumstances are not yet known. ”

Zhu Youdong said: "I didn't think that they would have such a place in Kuidong, okay, after Qi Hou took office in Guizhou, he should respond to the southward movement of the two armies as soon as possible, completely block the road for Huguang to rescue Yungui, and strengthen control over Qiandong and other Miao places, so as to facilitate the continued southward movement of our army." ”

He Zhen was puzzled: "What?" Hou Ye still wants to let the army go south? Zhu Youdong said: "Yes, I have always wanted to let the army go south, enter Guangxi, and completely let the Qing army in the southwest be trapped in Yungui." ”

He Zhen said: "In this way, we are afraid that we don't have such a right army, and we may not be able to hold it." Zhu Youdong said: "From now on, we will not only let the Miao people in the mountains voluntarily move out of the mountains, but also call on other ordinary people on the front line of resistance to the Qing Dynasty to evacuate to our rear." ”

He Zhen was completely blindsided and didn't know what Zhu Youdong wanted to do. Said: "Master Hou, isn't it too much to retreat, what if those people are unwilling to retreat?" ”

Zhu Youdong thought for a while and said: "Let those Miao people and other soldiers of all ethnic groups who have joined us dissuade them, and if there are really stubborn ones, they will be forcibly relocated." However, I would like to explain to the soldiers who participated in us that this was to prevent the Qing army from coming and massacring the people. ”

He Zhen said: "Even if the Qing army slaughters the people, wouldn't it be better for us to wait for the Qing army to commit crimes and then persuade the people?" ”
