After a lapse of a month and a half, the latest movements of the peasant army finally came from the Hubei front.

Yang Qilong, Duke of Shunyi, Lieutenant General of the Army, General of Shannan, and Governor of Henan and Hubei of the Han Dynasty, suddenly ordered the troops stationed in Laohekou and Zaoyang to assemble in Xiangyang Mansion ten days before the arrival of the Qin Mission, and announced that "I am the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Shenzhou is prosperous, but the Hubei pseudo-Qing rebels do not know the number of days, and the intention is to rebel, and the crime is extremely ......evil." Later, in the name of the Han government, at the same time, he wantonly levied strong men, robbed, and blackmailed the rich families and merchants under his jurisdiction, and reluctantly cobbled together an army of 60,000 people, followed the Han River to the south, advanced by land and water, and launched an attack on the south of Hubei.

So the Qin Cha, who went to convey the order for Yang Qilong to return to Beijing to "report on his work", immediately flew into the air, and at the same time as he entered the empty city of Xiangyang, two fast horses carried Yang Qilong's "pleading" to the road, and staggered past him.

After several years of silence on the Huguang battlefield, the storm has risen again, and now Hubei and Jiangxi are a 'chaos' and 'chaos', most of the warlords entrenched in various places are Han 'traitor' green battalion generals, and belong to the former Qing court's southern expedition army Prince An Yue Le's department, the former eastern 'Mongolian' ancient Korqin Khanate was forced by the situation, and suddenly rebelled against the Qing Dynasty on the Liaodong battlefield, and the 10,000 thousands of 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry who accompanied the Eight Banners to the south immediately mutinied, smashing the command center of the Qing army's middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River theater in one fell swoop, and Yue Le also died in the battle In the midst of the chaos, with the changes in China's political situation, the Qing armies in the Yangtze River Valley Theater gradually became localized and independent, and became warlords entrenched in various places.

However, after the defeat of the Han army in the struggle for the Central Plains, Yang Qilong was not allowed to move to the south, which further complicated the political situation in the Huguang region. At the beginning of the peasant army defeating the warlords of Jingzhou and entering Hubei, because of the lack of strength, they once changed their ways, and actively contacted the warlords of all over Hubei in the open and secret, and tried their best to avoid causing the "public anger" of other warlords, but the effect was not very good, although in terms of situation, everyone has a sense of "falling into each other's world", but after all, Shi has fought a sworn enemy for several years, and it is not easy to repair it for a while, although during the period of preserving strength, there was no big war, but small-scale friction often occurs, for several years, each other and not like and, Fighting and not fighting, just pulling it all the time.

But with Lin Feng's ascension to the throne, the political connection between the Han army and the peasant army was finally broken, Yang Qilong rejected the end of the rich man, and insisted on fighting to the end, and the remnants of the peasant rebel army finally tore off Gou An's mask and showed their fangs to the puppet Qing warlords in southern Hubei.

When Lin Feng received Yang Qilong's recital, the peasant army had successively broken through Anlu, Jing 'Gate', and Zhong Xiang, and eliminated several pseudo-remnant troops, and the forward cavalry troops were once 'pressing' close to Hanyang, and the news came out, and the whole country was shocked, although the warlords in Hubei had been comfortable for several years, but in the end they were from the regular field army, and their combat power was especially preserved.

It was a strange and funny thing that the troops of the "Great Han Shannan General" attacked Hanyang, while the puppet Qing army, which was facing it in person, actively resisted and begged for surrender to the Han Dynasty.

History is so amazingly funny.

The two letters arrived in Zhongnanhai one after the other, less than three days apart. After Lin Feng received Yang Qilong's recital, he immediately summoned Zhang Boxing, a scholar of Hanlin, to draft an edict, denouncing Yang Qilong for "bullying the king", and ordering him to immediately leave the army and return to Beijing.

The reaction of the General Staff was one step faster than the emperor's holy decree, and before the envoys of the second edict set off, the 800-mile flying cavalry of the General Staff rushed to Xunyang, ordering the headquarters of General Rick of the Western Front Corps to immediately assemble troops and attack in the direction of Jingzhou Mansion, and if there was resistance, they would all be annihilated on the spot.

On the contrary, the begging letter of the Hubei warlord was highly appreciated by the Lin and Han dynasties, and the emperor issued an edict to Luo Pangen, the leader of the Hubei warlords: "Although I am trapped in the thief camp, I am very pleased to be loyal and righteous, and I am very happy to be in the king's affairs!" Therefore, he was specially awarded the rank of major general of the army, called "General Jianwei Zhonglang", and ordered his subordinates to defend on the spot, maintain law and order, and wait for reorganization.

It is conceivable that Lin Feng's holy purpose was no different from the straw paper that wiped his butt in Yang Qilong's eyes, and although Yang Qilong's troops had suffered repeated setbacks at this time, they still had nearly 24,000 combat soldiers, and they were well-equipped, with a large number of firearms, and among them, they even had a cavalry force of more than 6,000 people. Compared with the field corps of the Han army, although this army is slightly weak in number, it cannot be underestimated.

In the past, the Central Plains was in turmoil, Shiro would shout, hundreds of thousands of peasant troops roared up, conquered the city and conquered the invincible, the world was shaken, and the leaders of the various departments jointly promoted Yang Qilong as the "leading marshal", and then Wang Shirong was divided and disintegrated for the military commander, and countless weak-willed leaders of the righteous army surrendered one after another, but Yang Qilong's directly governed headquarters 'withheld' the 'temptation', 'confusion' and co-optation of the military commander's spies, and has maintained a high degree of cohesion and discipline. They are the 'fine' Hua and backbone of these hundreds of thousands of peasant armies, and they are either loyal believers in the Shirokai sect or Yang Qilong's hardcore subordinates, so they have strong combat effectiveness.

At present, there are three corps of the Han army deployed in the Huguang Theater, and in the current Hubei War, the Rick Corps on the Western Front is the main force scheduled to be the main force, while the Central Plains Corps and the Southern Corps are deployed on the Henan and Anhui borders, and several main forces are responsible for responding and supporting the tasks, and the total strength of the troops participating in the war is more than 80,000, which is more than three times that of Yang Qilong's headquarters. To be fair, this war has been planned for a long time by the Lin Han Empire.

Just when the Rick Corps was marching eastward, Zhou Peigong, chief of the general staff of the Han Dynasty, suddenly received an urgent military report from the Jiangsu front, the thin military newspaper had little handwriting, but after Zhou Peigong read it hastily, he looked 'pale' and stool, hurriedly stuffed it into his sleeve and immediately ordered to prepare a carriage and horse to enter the palace to ask for a meeting.

The Lin Han Empire had three powerful figures from Lin Feng down, namely Li Guangdi, Chen Menglei and Zhou Peigong. From the point of view of authority, Zhou Peigong is the commander of the army and should be the most important boss, but this is not the case, although no matter in terms of qualifications or talents, this veteran of the Han army is qualified enough to occupy this role, but because of Lin Feng, he is the most unhappy of the three.

This reason is very simple, it is precisely because of Zhou Peigong's qualifications and talents, and because he is very prestigious in the military, that he is destined to be impossible - unless Lin Feng is dead.

Despite this, the Chief of the General Staff was not trivial after all, and Lin Feng was still very polite to him. Hearing that Zhou Peigong asked to see him, Lin Feng immediately changed his clothes, and after the hasty salute, Lin Feng said to him with a smile, "Peigong Peigong, I said that you don't know how to rest, you have been running towards me here if you have nothing to do in the past two days, do you think that the food in the imperial dining room is the right appetite?!" ”

Zhou Peigong didn't have the slightest intention of ridiculing, and hurriedly 'drawn' the military report and handed it to Lin Feng, "Your Majesty, please look, something big has happened in the south!" ”

Lin Feng was stunned, took the military newspaper and 'pumped' it away, only to see it, that is, his 'complexion' changed greatly, and he exclaimed, "The Taiwan army is attacking Rabu?!" ”

"That's right," Zhou Peigong was heavy, "Anhui Governor Wang Dahai is in a hurry for 800 miles, and the minister has just gotten the news, Zheng Jing sent the general Liu Guoxuan as the commander and Feng Xifan as the deputy at the beginning of last month, leading the Taiwanese sailors to suddenly go north, beyond Fujian and Zhejiang, and suddenly landed on Chongming Island, Suike Shanghai County, with a total of about 100,000 water and land troops, borrowing the water division along the Yangtze River to drive straight in, the puppet Qing Taicang, Nantong defenders surrendered without a fight, the two battalions of Suzhou and Hangzhou defected, Wuxi guard Jiang Xun, Changzhou guard general Luo Dali, Changzhou prefect Hu Shanyuan was defeated and killed, According to Wang Dahai's report, the main force of Zheng's army crossed Yangzhou and 'forced' Zhenjiang!! ”

Lin Feng was stunned for a while, and suddenly slapped the table, not angry but laughing, "Mom pulls an X, what a Zheng Jing, sure enough, there are two brushes!" He looked away and asked, "Where is Wang Dahai?!" ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, after Wang Pingliao received the battle report, while urgently reporting to the Beijing Division for help, he ordered all the armies in Anhui to assemble to the south, and at the same time asked General Shi Lang for help from the general of Fu 'Bo' Zhonglang," Zhou Peigong frowned, "I'm afraid it's already pressed to the border of Jiangsu right now?!" ”

In the Han military system, the governor is the commander of the theater and has the right to respond to the situation, and when such a big thing happens, Wang Dahai is not to say that he will assemble and respond, even if he immediately launches a war in the direction of Nanjing.

Lin Feng 'touched' his chin, groaned for a long time, and suddenly said, "I think this is a bit strange, Yang Qilong has just moved the place, Zheng Jing made a big move - this is really a coincidence!" ……”

Before the words fell, there was a sudden soft knock outside the study, and Lang Zhong ordered Li Ergou to say softly, "Your Majesty, Wang Shirong and Lord Wang are waiting to see you outside the palace!" ”

Lin Feng suddenly had a hint of foreboding in his heart, turned his head to look, and 'interacted' with Zhou Peigong's eyes, and both of them had a sinking face.

"Call him in!"

After a while, Wang Shirong hurriedly lifted the curtain and entered, "Long live my emperor, long live!" Chen Wang Shirong saw the fight! ”

Lin Feng's face was very impatient, and he said eagerly, "What's the matter?!" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the fine work sent by Weichen to the 'Meng' Guhongli Temple suddenly came with news that Geldan suddenly gathered a large number of men and horses at the beginning of this month, about 30,000 horsemen, and marched in the direction of Alxa Erut! After that, I disappeared,......" Wang Shirong raised his head and continued, "Many of the pastures occupied by Zhungar before were discarded, and all the people from Hu moved west, and now they are occupied by Horqin——"

"Where's Horqin?! Has his men moved?! Zhou Peigong suddenly cut off Wang Shirong's report, and said extremely rudely, "Have you been 'forced' to naturalize?!" ”

Wang Shirong's face was expressionless, "If you return to Lord Zhou, this is exactly what surprised Xiaguan," he turned his head to look at Lin Feng, "Geldan gave up many places where water and grass are 'fat', and Horqin accepted them all, but neither side used any swords, and Korqin Khan King Buryagma even transferred more than 10,000 cavalry troops stationed in Erenhot to the north, according to Hulunbuir herdsmen's rumors, it was said to be to guard against the Rakshasas!" He shook his head again and again, his tone was suspicious, "At the beginning of the year, there was a vicious battle between the two sides, but this will seem to be a very tacit understanding, and there must be a lot of mystery in it!" ”

"JB Xuanxu", Lin Feng was furious, and he shot the case, and said not inferiorly, "What a group of bastards, all of them are fucking here for Lao Tzu!" ”
