The next day, Ning Yu returned to Daye City with two battalions of men and horses, this battle not only completely collapsed the Qing army in Huangzhou Mansion, but also its own casualties were very limited, only less than 100 dead and wounded, and captured a large number of materials and weapons, although a large part of them were Qing army's own shotguns and long knives, but it could also solve Ning Yu's urgent needs, and at the same time, he also received a good gift———— Zhengzi banner of Huangzhou Mansion.

In order to force the defenders of Daye City to surrender, Ning Yu ordered all the captured Qing army flags to be piled up under the city, and sent soldiers to shout loudly.

"The Qing soldiers in Huangzhou Mansion have been wiped out, and I hope that General Xu will surrender as soon as possible."

After shouting for nearly an hour, Xu Mingyuan appeared from behind the city wall, his face was pale with abnormal flushing, his body was slightly weak, in the siege battle a few days ago, he had also fought bloodily, and his body was injured.

Looking at the flags piled up under the city, Xu Mingyuan could vaguely see a big "Zheng" word, and his heart was a little more credible, after all, no matter what tricks the Fu Han army played, it could not hide one point, that is, the reinforcements had not yet arrived.

Xu Mingyuan was a little hesitant in his heart, he wanted to stick to it and be loyal to Emperor Kangxi, but the Qing soldiers under his command stopped doing it, they were originally all Xingguo people, and they were willing to come to Daye to fight It has been the result of many rewards, but now the casualties are heavy, not to mention, the remaining people have to live and die with Daye City, how can this be willing?

In addition to the lack of fighting spirit, the people in Daye City are actually unwilling to support Xu Mingyuan to continue fighting, whether it is to be the people of the Qing Dynasty or the people of the Ming Dynasty, they are indispensable to pay food and taxes, and they will not be able to get other benefits, so they naturally do not want the war to burn on their heads.

Many people gathered around Xu Mingyuan, with hope for survival in their eyes, and they desperately hoped that Xu Mingyuan could stop and surrender Kaicheng.

"General Xu, my family is still waiting for me to feed them...... Please be gracious! A forty-year-old Qian general knelt beside Xu Mingyuan, and many green battalion soldiers were looking at Xu Mingyuan with a wistful expression.

As long as people have a chance to live, they will definitely seize it and never give up. This is the same for Xu Mingyuan, from the bottom of his heart, he is still unwilling to die like this.

"Send someone down and tell the rebels .... Tell the Fu Han Army that I, Xu Mingyuan, am willing to give up Daye City, and hope that they will stop killing innocents indiscriminately. ”

When these words came out, it seemed that all of Xu Mingyuan's strength had been exhausted, and he held the handle of the knife hard, and wanted to break it off, but finally let go weakly.

Just after Ning Yu accepted Xu Mingyuan's surrender, the good news was one after another, according to the news from Deng Fang in front, the remnants of the last few hundred people led by Zheng Rong directly crashed into the trap set by Deng Fang, and these hundreds of Qing soldiers, except for Zheng Rong and others who were killed, the rest have surrendered. And the second division is also progressing very smoothly, from the south to the north, the entire Huangzhou Prefecture has been included in its command.

So far, all the plans of Ningyu have been successfully realized, not only won the key strategic place Daye, but also eliminated the Huangzhou defenders, it can be said that Wuchang Mansion and Huangzhou Mansion in the southeast of Hubei Province have all been pocketed, and the current territory of the Fu Han Army almost includes three prefectures, namely Hanyang Mansion, Wuchang Mansion and Huangzhou Mansion.

With the complete victory of the Fu Han army, the whole Huguang and even the surrounding Jiangxi, Anhui and Sichuan and other places have shown a situation of popular excitement, and even many hidden non-governmental anti-Qing organizations have also blossomed one after another, and even the Baihedao hidden in Xiangyang Mansion has begun to send people to contact the Dadu Governor's Office, expressing his willingness to join hands against the Qing Dynasty, hoping that the Dadu Governor's Office can support a batch of weapons.

Ning Yu was still a little curious, wondering if the person who came to contact him would be Chen Xiaogongzi before, but when he really saw the person who came, he found that it was not, so he was a little disappointed at the moment, so he just talked with the envoy lightly and sent it to the political hall to deal with it.

Now with the continuous victory of the Fu Han army, the jurisdiction of the metropolitan governor's office is also expanding, the original three prefects except for the Hanyang prefect has already been attached to the Fu Han army, the other two prefects have committed suicide with the city break, most of the officials of the three prefectures have fled, as for the officials below the county level are also mostly dead and fleeing, so there is still a lack of many officials to fill the gap, which also makes several people in the political hall very busy, even the teacher Cui Wancai is often supper, sleepless.

But even so, after Ning Yu returned from a great victory, the teacher Cui Wancai also took the time to see him and talked about a good teacher-student friendship.

Cui Wancai has become more and more clear with the busyness of these days, and the gray hair on his head has also increased a little, but the whole person's mental state is very high.

"Now the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is located in Wuchang, but also to radiate the overall situation, although the Hanyang villagers are intimate, but after all, they are not in the center, so as soon as they are free, the Metropolitan Governor will begin to inspect the counties and townships lightly, but also to stabilize the hearts of the people and stabilize the Governor's Mansion."

Cui Wancai took a sip of camellia, and then said: "This year, the autumn grain of each province has not had time to be shipped, and it has been intercepted by us in Wuchang, so this winter can still be stable, and now the focus is on the reaction of the Qing court. ”

Ning Yu's expression was a little solemn, of course he knew what he was going to face next, and said in a low voice: "Man Pi gathered the Qing army from the rest of Hubei in Xiangyang at this time, and it took some time, plus more than 10,000 people and horses of Wang Wenhuan, the governor of Huguang, I am afraid that there are more than 30,000 Qing troops on the entire Xiangyang side. If we add the Qing army from Hunan, I am afraid that we will have to face more than 60,000 Qing troops at the same time. ”

"The key is that the Qing troops in Anhui and Jiangxi add up to 30,000 or 40,000 people, and if they attack together, with our current strength of only more than 25,000 people, it will be difficult to really resist, so we can only learn the tactics of the old slaves."

Cui Wancai's eyes lit up, "The old slave's tactics? You mean let him come as many ways as he wants. Am I going all the way? ”

"That's right, it's almost winter now, there are still two months before the sixty years of Kangxi, if Man Pi still wants to keep his head, he must launch an offensive in the last two months, so that it would be good to be able to gather the Qing army in Hubei and Hunan, so what we really need to face is the Hubei Qing army from the west and the Hunan Qing army from the south, a total of more than 60,000 people, I am still confident that I can swallow it!"

"When this battle is over, no matter how much Kangxi Lao'er wants to pretend to be dead, he has to look at us with his eyes!"
