Chapter 124: Crossing the River

Yongshun Mansion in Xiangxi, the white-clothed general Wu Yinglin's handsome face was covered with a layer of frost, looking at Liu Zhifu who was kneeling on the ground and hated that he couldn't eat his flesh and file his bones.

"Drag it down and cut it down!" Startled Mu "snapped", and he was furious.

Liu Zhifu, who was bound with his arms, was so frightened that he sat on the ground, he was Wu Yinglin's henchman, but he didn't want his master to be so ruthless!

No one in the hall made a sound, Wu Yinglin couldn't help but secretly regret that under normal circumstances, someone should come out to intercede! Is this Liu Zhifu usually too bad, or is his majesty scaring everyone? glanced at Hu Guozhu, who lowered his eyes on one side, as if he was fine, and couldn't help but be angry!

Hu Guozhu once advised him not to attack the Hubei border, saying that this was the solemn instructions of the prince when he left, but he Wu Yinglin did it.

Four angry sergeants had come in, and the words that spilled out, Wu Yinglin watched his confidant love being dragged out, and when he came into contact with Liu Zhifu's resentful eyes, he was at a loss and apologized.

"Wait!" Hu Guozhu, who is like a monk, took a step.

Wu Yinglin was overjoyed, let out a long sigh of relief, and waited for Hu Guozhu to follow.

Hu Guozhu bowed slightly: "Boss! Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and success or failure cannot be determined in one battle, General Liu is a rare general, it is a pity to kill him, and he is allowed to make meritorious contributions! ”

Wu Yinglin was still angry, thought for a moment, hesitated for a moment, patted the table and said: "The capital crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, drag it down and beat the five army sticks!" ”

Only hit the five army sticks? That's too much of a contrast! This will make everyone understand that they were just acting, and they can't help but secretly regret that they didn't come forward to betray their personal favors, especially Wu Yinglin's cronies and generals. Just Wu Yinglin's performance is too real, who dares to touch his scales if he knows his character? Only a general with a transcendent status like Hu Guozhu would dare!

All this Hu Guozhu was like a mirror, and smiled faintly, he was only worried about the military situation, and asked: "The war in Sichuan is tight, I don't know when the commander is going to go west?" "Starting from Yuezhou and marching all the way west, the generalissimo's battalion's combat intentions were well executed, but when he arrived at Yongshun Mansion, he was stuck, and he keenly felt that there was something wrong with General Shuo and General Tianshuo.

Wu Yinglin asked: "Who is willing to lead troops to Ben Shuai to take Yiling (now Yichang East in Hubei)?" A sharp gaze scanned the generals.

Hu Guozhu's face sank and said loudly: "Boss! Yiling can not be attacked again, when the prince left, he specially told not to attack the Hubei border, but to concentrate his forces to the west to seize the entire territory of Sichuan, which is also a strategy formulated by the generalissimo battalion early! At the beginning, Qi Liang told him not to go north, but he didn't care, but when Liu Zhi returned from Yiling, he knew how powerful Qi Liang was.

Wu Yinglin smiled and soothed: "General Hu, don't be impatient!" Taking the entire territory of Sichuan has always been the primary purpose of the pioneer battalion, but it is worth considering what method to adopt! "Last time he ordered Liu Zhifu to lead troops to attack the Yiling area, Hu Guozhu moved out of Wu Shizi to oppose it, he didn't think so, this time it really fulfilled the result, and he was even more reluctant to admit defeat.

Hu Guozhu is colorful: "There is a big river in the north, it is difficult to enter, only to go west and meet with General Wang Pingfan is the best policy!" ”

Wu Yinglin frowned: "Didn't you order Lu Xianghui to lead the 5,000 troops west?" ”

Hu Guozhu said sincerely and worriedly: "The 5,000 army is too small, the commander should lead the main force of the vanguard battalion to join General Wang Pingfan, and combine the forces of the two armies to attack Chengdu Mansion, and Chengdu Mansion will be under the entire territory of Sichuan!" ”

Wu Yinglin disagreed: "If my vanguard battalion can cross the Great River (now the Yangtze River) from the Hubei border, and then advance westward to threaten it from the flank, will the Qing army in Sichuan still be scattered and flee from the wind?" ”

Hu Guozhu shook his head, of course he can cross the river, but the question is whether he can cross the river now? "Boss......" He still has to say more, Wu Yinglin cut it off, and he is not allowed to deny it: "Inform General Ma Bao of Changde Mansion and ask him to send troops to contain the Qing army in the Yiling area from the flank, General Hu will stay in Yongshun Mansion to ensure that the passage in Xiangxi is unblocked, and the marshal will personally lead the vanguard battalion to cross the river from Shinan Mansion (now Enshi District, Hubei) and seize Zhongzhou (now Zhongxian District, Sichuan)!" He took a compromise approach and did not embarrass Hu Guozhu, but he just did not follow Qi Liang's plan.

Hu Guozhu was helpless, although it was not as appropriate as meeting directly with the Sichuan Wangping Domain, but if he could really cross the river, he could also play a role as a surprise soldier, and the effect might be better!

After the meeting was dispersed, a personal soldier came in and reported: "Commander! The people of Dai Mansion are gone! ”

Wu Yinglin was surprised: "Where did you go?" ”

The pro-soldier said humbly: "Go south to Yunnan!" ”

Wu Yinglin looked to the south, stunned, and asked for a long time: "Miss Dai, can you leave any words or letters or other things?" ”

The soldier shook his head: "No! ”

It's clean, too! Wu Yinglin sighed, immediately raised his spirits again, and ordered in a deep voice: "Leave her alone, take care of it, and get ready to go!" He really wanted to send someone to chase Dai Mengmeng back, but the people's hearts were no longer there, so what was the use of recovering them?

Sitting on the bumpy carriage, Dai Mengmeng was like a shell with a lost soul, and made a great determination to make the decision to leave the bad man, but it was like hollowing out his heart if he really wanted to leave. The interests of the family can only let her choose Wu Yingxiong, but her heart is biased towards Wu Yinglin, Wu Yinglin has cared for her meticulously for half a month, and the warmth of the two of them has made her like falling honey.

When you were in the Qianzhou Hall, you shouldn't have listened to Dai Xin, just leave immediately, and you won't be stuck in it and can't extricate yourself. I also hated that the bad guy deceived himself, saying that the prince would go north to Qianzhou to meet, but who knew that the prince would turn south and return to Kunming. Now if you throw yourself at him, I don't know what he will think? The contradictions in my heart are so much that I have gained and lost, thinking of Wu Yinglin, she hates it so much, but she really has to harden her heart and can't hate it.

In Liuying, the Zhou Palace, Kunming, Qi Liang took a look at the scroll handed by Chen Zhengcheng, and said angrily: "What is she still doing in Kunming?" "The information reported to Qi Liang's study every day includes the news transmitted by the Wu army's normal post road and the news secretly transmitted by the Nighthawk Group, and Qi Liang can know almost everything about the military situation everywhere.

At this time, Chen Zhengcheng would be smart and pretend not to hear, Qi Liang asked hatefully: "Are there any people who have infiltrated us around him?" ”

Chen Zhengcheng knew who this "he" was referring to, and replied: "A secret guard of the Flying Leopard Group has successfully entered his personal guard!" ”

Qi Liang nodded, and Chen Zhengcheng said with ulterior motives: "General Wu Yinglin and Miss Dai Mengmeng didn't have anything out of the ordinary!" ”

Qi Yi scolded secretly, what do you know? What do people do that will be seen? There are hugging, hugging, kissing, and touching, but he is sure that even if he gives Wu Yinglin a hundred guts, he will not dare to defile Dai Mengmeng. Wu Yinglin didn't dare to go against himself openly, guessing that the purpose of his secret means was just to capture Dai Mengmeng's heart and hit his confidence, as long as he didn't fall in love with Dai Mengmeng, it didn't matter.

Qi Liang was noncommittal, and Chen Zhengcheng continued: "General Wu Yinglin has led the vanguard battalion into Shinan Mansion, and General Ma Bao ordered General Tao Jizhi to go out of Yidu to attack Yiling and cover the vanguard battalion from the flank to cross the river!" ”

Qi Liang was stunned, it seemed that Wu Yinglin was riveted with him, and asked, "Where is General Hu Guozhu?" ”

Chen Zhengcheng replied: "General Hu Guozhu stayed in Yongshun Mansion!" ”

Qi Liang was relieved at this time, in case Wu Yinglin failed to cross the river, the Qing army in Hubei would not cut off the passage to Xiangxi, which was difficult to open, but he was still worried about the safety of the pioneer battalion.

A few days later, before Dai Mengmeng arrived in Yunnan, the latest battle report came from Xiangxi: Ma Bao's general Tao Jizhi attacked Yiling and was defeated, but Wu Yinglin's vanguard battalion successfully crossed the river and occupied Zhongzhou.

Ten days later, the commander-in-chief Wu Zhimao rebelled in Sichuan, and the governor Luo Sen and the admiral Zheng Jiaolin surrendered, and the whole territory of Sichuan was lowered. Dai Mengmeng arrived at Yunnan Mansion, fifty miles away from Kunming, Qi Liang asked Chen Zhengcheng to go out of the city to greet him, and he went to Lin'an Mansion instead.

After Sichuan, the Wu army has occupied the three provinces of Hunan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and its power has risen sharply.

The Forbidden City in Beijing, the Central Plains earthquake, the urgent recitals from all over the country spread to the imperial court like snowflakes, and the young Kangxi threw the military intelligence spy report on the table with a mustache, and said in a deep voice: "Any bad news will be reported together!" ”

Shangshu Mingzhu of the Ministry of War reported: "At present, Jiangxi and Zhejiang are the most critical! ”

Kangxi was dissatisfied: "Report it carefully!" ”

The situation has become so bad, Mingzhu, who is the secretary of the Ministry of War, can hardly escape the blame, wipe his sweat, and say in a trembling voice: "Geng's rebellious general Zeng Yang went out of the East Road and is attacking Wenzhou and Taizhou in Zhejiang Province; The rebel general Bai Xianzhong went out of the west road and was attacking Guangxin, Jianchang, and Raozhou in Jiangxi Province; The rebel general Ma Jiuyu went out of the middle and attacked Jinhua, Quzhou and other places in Zhejiang Province! ”

Kangxi glanced at it and asked, "What countermeasures do the ministers have!" "I don't see how flustered he is.

The scholar Suo Etu said: "There have been two rebellions in the three feudatories of Yunnan, Fujian and Guangdong, only Guangdong is still happy, and there is no rebellion, the emperor should first appease his heart!" ”

Kangxi did not hesitate: "Yes!" ”

Suo Etu said again: "Your Majesty! The area around Suzhou and Hangzhou is an important place for my dynasty to pay taxes, and we must think of protecting it! ”

Walking in the study, Zhou Peigong had a different opinion, and said: "Honor the saint! The focus of the imperial court attack should also be Wu Reverse Sangui's Yunnan group! Wu Sangui fell, and the other monkeys naturally dispersed! ”

Kangxi nodded and asked, "If Lord Zhou has any good plans, you might as well say it directly!" ”

Zhou Peigong raised his head and said: "Holy Lord! out of the Fourth Route Army, one route to Shaanxi to attack Shu; One route is Hubei to attack Hunan; One route is to attack Hunan in Jiangxi; One route is to attack Zhejiang with Su Anhui. ”

Kangxi appreciated: "What Lord Zhou said is extremely true. Ordered loudly: "Feng Beile Shangshan is the general of Anyuan Jingkou, assist the king of Shuncheng County, Leerjin, and attack Hunan from Hubei; Beile Dong'e was the general of Dingxi, aided the commander-in-chief Moluo, and attacked Shu from Shaanxi; He also appointed Yue Le, Prince An, as the general of Dingyuan Pingkou and sent out of Jiangxi; Prince Kang Jieshu is the general who was ordered, and Beizi Fu Lata is the general of Ninghai, who went out to Zhejiang; In addition, Prince Jian Rabu was appointed as a general to guard the south of the Yangtze River! ”
