"Back to General Pingnan's words. Due to the urgency of the military situation, the minions really did not know the specific situation in Jingzhou City. However, after the thieves broke through Jingzhou City, they ordered the surrender of troops to liquidate the rebellious bannermen, and it is said that nearly 10,000 bannermen were killed. At that time, the Yangtze River was full of people, dyeing the entire river red. The messenger replied softly.

However, these words were like a thunderbolt from the sky to the generals present.

In the hall that was quiet and noiseless, there were constantly people whispering, and there were a lot of chaotic sounds.

The messenger's words were brief, but the information he brought exploded in the hearts of the crowd like a bomb. This was the first time they had heard that the bandit army would be liquidated since they came into contact with the bandit army.

Sometimes they have to admit that this bandit army is more like the court soldiers than them, at least they will not massacre the city at every turn.

At this moment, Fu Heng's expression was much calmer than that of the generals present. It seems that he already knows the general thing in the previous intelligence letter. That's why he just lost his temper.

However, no matter how calm Fu Heng's face was, he couldn't suppress the ripples that kept surging in his heart. It's just that as the commander-in-chief, Fu Heng must not behave hesitantly and have no idea in front of his subordinates.

"Is the thief still in Jingzhou at this time?" Fu Heng didn't show much emotion, and continued to ask the kneeling messenger.

"When the minions came over and set off, they heard that the main force of the anti-thieves had left Jingzhou City. The soldiers were divided into two routes, one to the west and the other to the north. "If you straighten out and speak without Fu Heng's instructions, it is a great sin of disrespect. Therefore, the messenger could only continue to answer with his head bowed.

The messenger's reply made Fu Heng stand there stunned for a few seconds, and then waved at him and said, "Got it." Go down and receive the prize. ”

"Hey, the slave thanked General Pingnan, and the general was the prince Wandai." The messenger hurriedly thanked him repeatedly. Then he got up, took a few steps back, and stepped out.

I thought he came all the way, climbed mountains and waded through rivers, and had to encounter various checks with hardships and hardships, so he finally arrived in Nanchang. In addition to receiving military orders, this is also for this reward.

At this time, Fu Heng, who was standing in front of the seat, really couldn't understand that Jingzhou's intelligence was actually such a grim situation.

It's only been a few days since he received a letter from Jingzhou asking for help? Don't say that Fu Heng is not ready to relieve them, it is that Fu Heng really wants to go and relieve them. However, the mobilization of soldiers, horses, grain and grass in Nanchang City has not yet had time to gather, and now Jingzhou City has been attacked by the thieves.

Not only that, but also died a garrison general from Yipin.

What kind of storm will this set off in the imperial court? Fu Heng felt a headache when he thought about it.

Last year, the garrison general in Guangzhou had already died at the hands of this gang of thieves. This year, at the beginning of the year, the governor of Huguang and the general of the Jingzhou garrison died in their hands.

The ferocity of the bandit army had already surprised Fu Heng.

Fu Hengman thought earlier that with the defense of Jingzhou City's high walls and thick walls, Shang Jiabao was stationed there, so it could withstand it for at least a few months!

Shang Jiabao moved all the way from the garrison Jiangling to the important city of Jingzhou, isn't that exactly how he sees it?

But it's only been a few days? Shang Jiabao was actually defeated and killed by the bandit army.

As soon as he thought of this, Fu Heng felt the horror of suppressing the bandit army.

In the big and small Jinchuan rebellion, they just hid in their own one-third of an acre of land, and they didn't dare to go out to fight, no matter how chaotic they were, they couldn't just mess up. However, this bandit army fought all the way from Guangxi to Hubei, and now they are even more prepared to swallow the whole south.

Originally, Fu Heng didn't believe that these mud legs could continue to be so rampant, after all, most of them were just farmers who had just put down their hoes. These mud-legged men are okay if they fight with the wind, but as long as my Qing soldiers use their lives a little and fight a tough battle with them, they will fall.

However, in reality, the Qing soldiers continued to lose in battle after battle, which was like a slap slapping Fu Heng's face fiercely.

The most hateful thing is that as soon as the green battalion soldiers who had lived a messy life in the Qing Dynasty were recruited by this gang of thieves, these green battalion soldiers immediately became like wolves and tigers when they started fighting. Defeat the Qing army that fought with them one after another, or turn against them or surrender.

"God bless me? I don't believe it. Fu Heng strongly denied it in his heart.

"Since the Holy Lord's accession to the throne, he has rehabilitated his clan relatives and reduced taxes for hundreds of families. How is the emperor of the Holy Ming, how does the heavens not bless him? ”

What Fu Heng thought, the many generals below naturally didn't know. However, the information revealed by his conversation with the messenger shocked them. Some even began to think about the way forward.

"Boom..."

Accompanied by thunder, torrential rain fell sharply.

In the clearing on the hillside, a large group of men and horses are camping here to avoid the rain.

The rainstorm in summer is faster than the spring rain, which comes and goes quickly.

After more than an hour, the torrential rain gradually stopped.

"Sixth brother, the torrential rain has washed the mountain road ahead, and it may be dangerous to continue to move forward. Do we take a detour? Kong Fangzheng, the scout company commander who followed Zhang Rui on the trip, came back and reported.

"Got it, thank you. If it's getting late today, it's time to spend the night here. Let me think about the rest. You go down to the fire and change into dry clothes! Zhang Rui commanded.

"Yes, Sixth Brother. Then the subordinate will retire first. Kong Fang saluted and stepped out.

Since Zhang Rui went from Jingzhou City to Jiangling, there was heavy rain all the way, and the heavy rain continued to collapse Zhang Rui wanted to go to Wuchang.

This is the third time that such a situation has occurred, and the heavens seem to be blocking Zhang Rui's shortcut to Wuchang. As long as Zhang Rui wants to go back over the mountains, he will always encounter such weather.

It is also a shame that Zhang Rui is afraid of mudslides, so he asks the team to find a good position to camp to avoid the rain before every rainstorm, otherwise the team will be in danger.

The heavy rain seems to have been blocking Zhang Rui's way, if it is just a chance one or two, Zhang Rui may not have any suspicions. But now that the third game is like this, Zhang Rui has to be vigilant.

Zhang Rui suddenly remembered that one of the military doctors who accompanied the army this time was a Taoist priest. He seems to have said to himself: Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs.

"Stones." Zhang Rui shouted.

"Yes, Sixth Brother. What are the commands? Liu Shishi on the side hurriedly asked.

"Go and get me the captain of the Yicheng doctor?" Zhang Rui said.

"Okay, Sixth Brother. I'll call for him. After Liu Shishi finished speaking, he went outside the barracks and ordered one of the guards to find someone.

Liu Shishi, who returned to the camp, looked at Zhang Rui and asked with some concern: "Sixth brother is looking for a medical officer, is he sick?" ”

"I'm fine, but I want to ask him for advice." Zhang Rui replied a little helplessly.
