In November, Hubei was bitterly cold, and the light snow accompanied by ice particles hit the face, like a knife cut, and 10,000 Qing troops marched in this cold environment.

Originally, in this extreme world environment, it was not suitable for marching, but under the urging of Man Pi, Wang Wenhuan had no choice but to rush to Zhongxiang with his 10,000 admirals, and the reason why Wang Wenhuan was asked to speed up the march in this weather was because the two thousand eight banner soldiers led by Jingzhou general Hengrui had rushed to Zhongxiang.

Hengrui, as the general of Jingzhou, is naturally the commander-in-chief of the entire Hubei battlefield, in terms of grade, even Manpi, the governor of Huguang, is lower than Hengrui, as for the real power, the Jingzhou general also plays the role of a supervising governor, so it has caused the situation that the real power of the Jingzhou general is greater than that of the governor.

Therefore, when the two thousand Eight Banner soldiers led by Hengrui entered Anlu Mansion, they directly issued an order, asking Wang Wenhuan not to go to Xiangyang and rush directly to Zhongxiang within three days.

At this time, Zhongxiang was the gathering point set by Hengrui and others, and when Wang Wenhuan's soldiers and horses arrived, they would rush to Jingshan and follow this line to Yingcheng and Hanyang. The remaining 20,000 Hubei Green Battalions took the remaining 20,000 Hubei Green Battalions to defeat Anlu and Xiaogan from the north of Hanyang Mansion, while the 30,000 people of the Hunan Green Battalion set out from Yuezhou to Xingguo and Daye, and finally met under Wuchang City, so as to achieve the goal of ending the war before the year and letting the children go home early for the New Year.

Although this plan is perfect, the people who want this plan are in a mess in its implementation, and now the Hubei Green Camp has been cut into pieces, and there is no real intention of convergence at all.

Pity this 10,000 green battalion soldiers first rushed from Yichang to Jingzhou, then to Xiangyang, and then changed the route from Xiangyang to Anlu, which caused the green battalion soldiers to complain, although Wang Wenhuan originally led the troops to fight, but after all, the prestige was not high enough, so many green battalion soldiers were unwilling to buy his account.

This time, the troops were also given enough silver taels before the war, and they promised to lay down the order of Hanyang not to seal the sword, which is a trick that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been accustomed to since entering the customs, and usually can't give much silver taels, but before the war will give a lot of rewards, what if it's not enough? That is to let these soldiers rob themselves, so this time the same order was given.

"Tell the brothers to work harder, hurry up to Gong's house before it gets dark, and when the time comes, let's slaughter this pig, cow and sheep, and the big guy will have a good meal, and rush to Zhongxiang tomorrow!"

Wang Wenhuan's face was slightly gloomy, but he was also the governor of a province, a member of the first grade, but now he was called and drunk, but the green battalion was not on the table of the governor and the general of Jingzhou at all, in front of these two bigwigs, Wang Wenhuan could only bow low and be small, so he had to urge his soldiers to death.

It wasn't until the sky was about to get dark that Wang Wenhuan's 10,000 soldiers and horses entered Gongjiaji, which was originally a lively township, but the arrival of a large army did make the originally lively market town a crowd.

Naturally, there was no way for these 10,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed, and the army set up a camp outside the town, and only sent a few hundred people into the town to collect cattle, sheep and pork. It's just that this bandit is like a comb, and the soldiers are like a grate, and the good Gong Jiaji is tossed and dying by these wolf-like green battalion soldiers.

Originally, it was just a simple search for pig-like cattle, but when these Qiu Ba completely released the barbarism in their hearts, they robbed and killed in the town, and also spoiled a lot of women, until the local county order knelt in front of Wang Wenhuan's tent for two hours, Wang Wenhuan gave the order to return to the camp, but at this time, Gong Jiaji almost became a human purgatory.

When the county commander walked through the concentration, he saw the corpses piled up around him and the raging flames, and then looked at the groups of officers and soldiers of the green battalion, and his face couldn't help but turn pale, and he fainted on the spot.

Just rested at Gong's house for the night, and when it was time to leave the next day, the green battalion soldiers couldn't walk anymore, and they were grinding in place one by one.

"Lord Junmen, the brothers really can't walk.....

"It's been forty miles yesterday, my lord, that's enough!"

There were soldiers constantly complaining in the queue, and even some battalion officers ran to Wang Wenhuan to complain, saying that they couldn't walk anymore, and some people just lay down like this, and no one called anymore.

In a sense, although Wang Wenhuan's 10,000 commanders are stronger in combat than the original superintendents and fubiaos, their military discipline is seriously corrupted, and they are more like bandits than soldiers. On the contrary, some of the strong men who walked behind did not complain, dragging the supplies of the entire army behind the team, and kept silently hurrying forward.

Wang Wenhuan was helpless, but he didn't dare to be too tough on these ruffians, you know, these soldiers themselves are not local soldiers, many people are transferred from him, and even formed a small group internally, he, the admiral, is only in name only, every time before the war, Wang Wenhuan has to send people to invite these soldiers over, give a lot of money, and the other party is willing to fight.

This time they sent troops to fight the Han army, but these green battalion soldiers were even more intensified, they were not fools, they had long inquired that the Han army was extremely fierce in the battle, and the artillery was even more powerful, so most of them were unwilling to fight, so they delayed on the road.

Wang Wenhuan lamented in his heart, in order to stimulate the combat power of these green battalion soldiers, he not to mention the heavy rewards, but even gave them a whole Gong family to test the knife, but this time he still put on the appearance of a ruffian. Don't say anything ambitious, Wang Wenhuan's biggest feeling at this time is to drag this green camp to Zhongxiang.

In desperation, Wang Wenhuan continued to negotiate with the **, this time the negotiation was completed, and he could leave but had to add money.

How much to add?

100,000 taels!

But Wang Wenhuan was helpless, and he had already given 50,000 taels of opening fee when he set off, where is there still 100,000 taels of silver for this gang of uncles? In desperation, Wang Wenhuan had no choice but to send someone to Zhong Xiang to ask for help.

Zhong Xiang, Jingzhou General Hengrui listened to the report of his subordinates with a dark face, this time it was not his Eight Banners soldiers who could no longer ride horses that made any trouble, it was purely because he learned the news from Wang Wenhuan's side.

"Waste, rice bucket, these Han people are really cunning!" Hengrui was furious, this time to recover the Han army, his two thousand Eight Banner soldiers at most played the role of a supervising team, and it was the Green Battalion soldiers who really wanted to go into battle, and Wang Wenhuan's 10,000 commanders were the main force in the main force!

But now the main force can't move, and told him that he has to add money, and he can't leave if he doesn't give money!

How can there be such a truth in this world?
