said that after Ao Bai returned to Guizhou, he immediately complained to Hong Chengchou.

What Ming army held the city and did not come out, and what Ming army was far more than the number of people claimed.

In short, all kinds of throwing pots.

It means that it is not that he does not work hard, but in fact, the Ming army is too fierce.

In order to preserve his strength, Ao Bai did not dare to fight hard and withdrew to Guizhou.

Hong Chengchou naturally won't believe it all.

The words of Ao Bai are true and false, false and true. It would be nice to have half of it true.

However, Hong Chengchou did not choose to debunk Aobai.

Because now he needs this new force so much.

"Lord Ao, a lot of big things have happened during the time you have been away."

Hong Chengchou sighed and said, "Wu Sangui led his troops to loot Guiyang Mansion, and then left. ”

"How dare this guy be so arrogant!"

Ao Bai is a stamping of the feet.

He has always looked at Wu Sangui unpleasantly, and he even made trouble to the point of incompatibility before.

Later, although the two temporarily reconciled for the sake of the overall situation, they were just separated from each other.

Now Wu Sangui has openly looted Guiyang Mansion, which is not only not to give Hong Chengchou face, but even directly embarrassing the emperor and the imperial court.

Something for a dog day! Ao Bai felt greatly offended.

"However, Wu Sangui went to attack Kunming after the plunder, and now he has succeeded."

Hong Chengchou's next sentence surprised Aobai.

"Oh?"

Ao Bai was surprised: "Just take Kunming like this?" ”

In his impression, Aobai's first attack on Kunming ended in a fiasco. How long will it take to win?

"Lord Ao, this time and that time."

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and said: "When Wu Sangui attacked Kunming for the first time, the main forces of the Ming army were there, so he naturally returned with a feather. And this time, the main force of the Ming army went to attack Huguang, and those who stayed in Kunming were some old and weak soldiers. Naturally, the situation is different. ”

Ao Bai thought about it carefully, and this is also the truth.

"Wu Sangui's capture of Kunming is also a good thing. It's just that with his current arrogant appearance, I'm afraid he won't listen to the imperial court's orders. ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and said, "Yes." Wu Sangui is now listening to the seal and not listening to the tune, let alone the scripture, even if it is the emperor's will, he may not be able to listen to it. ”

"This dog thief, one day I will definitely cut off this dog's head myself."

Ao Bai said viciously.

"But even if Wu Sangui remains neutral, it's a good thing for us."

Hong Chengchou said lightly: "Wu Sangui has at least weakened the strength of the Ming army, if he can control Yunnan, the Ming army's rear will be even weaker." ”

After a pause, Hong Chengchou continued: "At present, the northern part of Huguang has fallen, and I heard that Nanjing and Hangzhou have also fallen into the hands of Zheng thieves. The emperor is anxious, and those of us who are courtiers should share the emperor's worries. ”

Aobai's face turned red when he heard this.

Originally, before he set out on the expedition, he thought that as soon as the Eight Banners Army arrived, the Ming army would abandon the city and flee, who would have thought that it was not what he expected at all.

The combat effectiveness of the Ming army was very strong, and Ao Bai could not attack for a long time, so he could only choose to retreat.

Aobai not only did not defeat a city or a pond, but also lost a lot of troops.

Where is this to share the emperor's worries, this is to add to the emperor's blockage.

"Huguang seems to be unable to fight for the time being. Maybe we can think differently. ”

"I said Hong Jingluo, at this time, can you not only talk halfway, hurry up!"

Ao Bai was so anxious that he scratched his head, Hong Chengchou was still here with a crepe analysis, he really couldn't listen to it.

"The meaning of this scripture is that we may be able to try to go to Changsha."

"To Changsha?"

"If this scripture is Yongli, after taking Wuchang, the next thing to do is to attack Changsha. Only by controlling Changsha can we manage Huguang well in the south and north. ”

"What does Hong Jingluo mean is that this battle will annihilate the main force of the Ming army in the field?"

Aobai's eyes lit up when he heard this.

The Eight Banners Army is invincible in the field world, but it is not good at siege warfare.

It was to attack Yiling and other places to return with Aobai.

And if he fought with the Ming army in the field, Ao Bai had full self-confidence.

If Aobai failed to steal his family, he thought that he would have to fight with Aobai in the field if the Ming army attacked Changsha.

"If you can capture Yongli, then the Ming army is bound to be defeated!"

Ao Bai had already calculated the entire charter and smiled proudly.

"It doesn't matter whether you can capture Yongli or not, the important thing is to frustrate the Ming army. It's been a good year for them. ”

Hong Chengchou sighed and said: "More than a year ago, the governor besieged Yongli in Kunming, thinking that the great cause had been accomplished, who would have thought that there would be so many changes. The emperor is anxious, in fact, because we are losing and retreating. ”

This is the truth of the heart of worship. The Qing army has hardly won any frontal victories in the past year against the Ming army, and the war is like a strain.

No one will be happy about this decline.

If Ao Bai could be the first to stop the advance of the Ming army, then the Shunzhi Emperor would definitely reward him greatly.

"It's just what if the Ming army doesn't attack Changsha? Isn't that official gone in vain? ”

"Lord Ao, don't you believe me, don't you still believe this letter?"

After that, Hong Chengchou handed a letter to Aobai.

Ao Bai took it and unfolded it, but there was displeasure on his face.

"Hong Jingluo, you have a letter here, why didn't you say it earlier!"

It turned out that this was a letter from Gao Tianjue to Hong Chengchou asking for help.

Gao Tianjue failed to persuade Hu Quancai, so he secretly wrote a letter to Hong Chengchou, borrowing troops from Hong Chengchou to explain that the army would launch an offensive against Changsha soon.

The reason why Hong Chengchou didn't take out the letter at the beginning was because he wanted to hang up Aobai's appetite.

Finally, the letter can be the final word.

"Lord Ao misunderstood, this scripture is also a letter I just received."

"If that's the case, you can really send troops to Changsha."

Ao Bai is holding back his stomach and has no chance to vent his worries, but this is a rare opportunity.

"If Lord Ao wants to go to Changsha, he can go to Changsha in one go, and Guizhou will let Zhao Liangdong garrison."

Hong Chengchou's worship was never expected.

"Hong Jingluo, you are so old, are you sure you still have to run?"

Military life is hard.

Although Hong Chengchou will definitely have the best treatment, the horseback riding alone is a bit head-scratching.

"It's time for the scripture to make a move. This battle is very crucial, and this scripture should let Yongli Xiaoer understand that ginger is still old and spicy. ”

Hong Chengchou's vision of timing is very vicious.

In his opinion, if you don't make a move, you will be killed.

"That's fine. Hong Jingluo will come if he wants to come, and the army will set off early tomorrow morning! Hong Jingluo should rest early today. ”

Ao Bai didn't want to stay longer for a moment, he couldn't wait to use the head of the Ming army to make a war exploit.

As for Hong Chengchou, it doesn't hurt to get a piece of the pie.
