In Guangxi, aside from those Tusi, the Ming army still controlled Liuzhou, Xunzhou, and Nanning. Li Dingguo recovered Guangxi in one fell swoop that year, and he had a very good gentry foundation in Guangxi. In addition, Wuzhou, which was recovered this time, went back to rest for a while, as long as the grain and grass were ready, there would be no forced withdrawal next time.

As soon as he said it, Li Dingguo sent people to inform the Ming troops in western Guangdong, arranged the order of withdrawal and once the emergency response of the police was interrupted, he led the army to cover the withdrawal in the direction of Guangxi alternately.

Li Dingguo's choice to withdraw his troops was unexpected. Sending troops from afar, constantly accepting the city abandoned by Li Dingguo, and sending it out of the border of Guangdong, Shang Kexi finally settled down.

"The prince is heroic and powerful, and the old thief is so fierce and defeated by the prince, this time it can be regarded as revenge for Prince Jingjin and King Dingnan."

Li Dingguo failed to achieve the expected strategic goals, which was the greatest good news for the Qing army. Shang Kexi received the news of Li Dingguo's withdrawal to Guangxi, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, until this moment, the voice of sycophancy hit, and Shang Kexi's only remaining vigilance was only the last struggle.

"Revenge, I can't say it, it's just to save some face. This is the case for the king of Dingnan, as for Prince Jingjing, that is the real nobleman of the Eight Banners, and it is not the turn of this prince. ”

"The last will be lost, the last will be lost."

Zhaoqing Mansion is still garrisoned by Xu Erxian, Shang Kexi always felt that Li Dingguo would not be willing to return this time, and on the way back to Guangzhou, he had already revised the book and asked the Qing court for more garrisons in case of accidents. However, some time ago, it is estimated that the emergency document has not yet been sent to the capital, how do you know that Li Dingguo will be defeated so quickly.

Back in Guangzhou Mansion, it was April 26, half a month had passed, and the good news had already been received here, and the governor Li Qifeng took the officials out of the city for ten miles to greet him.

In this regard, Shang Kexi took all the orders, and after listening to them comfortably, he led the army back to the city, while those Han cultural officials took their leave and returned to the new city in the south of the city on their own.

The old city of Guangzhou was occupied by the feudal soldiers, family members and servants of the two feudal domains, and the Han people were not eligible to enter. There is no such thing as Nanjing, Xi'an, and Hangzhou as the title of the city, but this is just a title, and the city of Guangzhou is really nameless, that's all.

“…… With this great victory, it shows that the old prince is like a god with soldiers. Thinking that the old thief was famous for his murder, it was simply breathless, but he was still defeated by the old prince. ”

“…… When the imperial court reinforcements arrive, the old prince will inevitably lead the army and kill the old thief! ”

“…… Don't say that he is an old thief, even if it is that Sun Kewang, even if it is the pseudo-emperor Zhu Youlang, he is not the power of the old prince in a war. As for the traitors Chen Kai and Zheng Ci, the old prince can crush them to death with his fingers. ”

“……”

The sycophants outside the city greeted each other, and the sound was still in the ears. Some sound refreshing, while others are unsatisfactory. However, Shang Kexi didn't care, he entered the city, in front of the families of the soldiers who greeted him, regardless of whether he was in the Southern Domain or the Jingnan Domain, Shang Kexi praised him a lot, and even Geng Jimao, who was ill, also settled in the city of Guangzhou to reassure the people.

When he returned to the palace, Jin Guang had already coordinated according to Shang Kexi's meritorious record, the reward of the commendation, the reward of the reward, and the report of the report, and strive to make the backbone of Guangdong and the forces of the two feudal clans satisfied.

The reward for meritorious deeds is to be able to contribute to the next war. Li Dingguo is gone, but the hidden danger of killing him again is still there. What's more, Guangdong is not just a threat like Li Dingguo, not to mention those small groups of Ming troops and rebels, just one Chen Kai in eastern Guangdong is enough for him to be disgusting.

"Mr. Jin, is there any news from Chen Kai?"

"Back to the prince's words, not yet."

Chen Kai disappeared without a trace with the two towns, and Shang Kexi was always worried even when he fought Li Dingguo. However, when the ship entered the sea, they could no longer find any news, and they could only speculate out of thin air, and there was no other way.

"Could it be that I went to southern Fujian, did you send an official document from Fujian?"

"Not yet, maybe it's still on the way."

Shang Kexi and Jin Guang asked and answered, but they didn't have any clue. But it doesn't matter, Chen Kai only brought 1,500 soldiers and horses, is it possible to poke a hole in the sky. At present, on the one hand, it is necessary to continue to monitor Li Dingguo's movements, and on the other hand, to clean up the Ming army and the righteous army in western Guangdong again, so that no group of guys will pop up to make trouble for him when Li Dingguo comes back next time.

"On the side of Luodingzhou, the thieves Kou Song Guoxiang and Wei Yingdeng captured Dong'an and Xining counties, and this king has left Xu Chenggong and Wu Jingong to exterminate them."

Xu Chenggong and Wu Jingong are both the general soldiers of the Pingnan Domain, but because they were assigned to the Pingnan Domain when they went south in the third year of Yongli, although they are the general soldiers, the department can also be called the domain soldiers, but they are not the Han army banners of the Eight Classics, and the status is even far inferior to those generals and guerrillas of the old department of Shang Kexi.

However, with these two people, Luo Dingzhou can also recover as before. And next, it is nothing more than the Ming army and volunteers in Qingyuan Mountain and along the coast, Shang Kexi is still in no hurry, because Li Dingguo has retreated, and even if he doesn't fight, he may not be able to hold out for long in front of the relieved green battalion.

"By the way, is there any news from Lian Decheng?"

"Back to the prince's words, no, the general soldier of the company has been ambushing there since he broke the thief sent by the old thief to answer it. But I haven't been in contact with other thieves these days, so I guess maybe the thieves have dispersed halfway. ”

"That's a pity, otherwise more than two hundred ships would be a lot of money."

Shang Kexi is still worried about the Ming army at the mouth of the Pearl River, those Ming troops are blocked there, and Shang Kexi's sea trade will not be able to go, it is like a fish in the throat. Although the Ming army only has the advantage of a water division, and it is not too huge, at least it cannot threaten Guangzhou City, but Chen Kai's toad-style style of play really makes him disgusting.

"Forget it, celebrate first, if there is anything to celebrate after the banquet, don't disturb the interest of the soldiers."

Such a great victory, the celebration banquet is indispensable, light singing and dancing, wine and food, between pushing the glass and changing the lamp, the festive atmosphere has gradually pushed to the highest place.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the old prince!"

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the old prince!"

The documents on meritorious deeds, especially the exploits of these major generals, have been revealed one by one in the process of toasting, and there is no dissatisfaction. At present, I am just waiting for the merit documents to be sent, and the court will issue a reward, which is a good future for promotion and fortune.

Whether it is the generals of the Pingnan Domain or the Jingnan Domain, all of them are like the commander of this battle, Shang Kexi, congratulated him, and even Geng Jimao sent someone to congratulate him, and Shang Kexi couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.

The celebration banquet will last for a long time, and these meritorious generals must be happy. Shang Kexi sat on the main seat, looking at the elated generals below, he also took a sip of wine, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled slightly. However, before he could put down the wine glass, the door opened lightly, and the captain of the royal palace guard outside the door suddenly jumped in, and rushed to Shang Kexi's side in three steps and two steps, looking a little flustered.

"What's going on again?"

I have already drunk a lot, not as much as when I was in Liaodong, and Shang Kexi is already a little drunk. Seeing the captain of the guard like this at this moment, most of the generals also looked puzzled, and even if they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they spontaneously appeared.

Shang Kexi's face was displeased, and the captain of the guard couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and he couldn't care about anything, so he hurriedly leaned into Shang Kexi's ear and told the words of the messenger outside. Unexpectedly, after only listening to this paragraph, Shang Kexi was stunned for a moment, and then as soon as his right hand was released, the wine glass fell in response, fell to the ground, and shattered crisply, just like the Qiongzhou Mansion was cleanly seized by Chen Kai.

………………

In Qiongzhou, the source of the military intelligence report received by Chen Kai came from Chen Qice. Li Dingguo sent troops to Guangdong, and he had already contacted Guo Zhiqi, a scholar of the Inspectorate University, and Lian Chengbi, the governor of Liangguang, just as he had sent someone to contact Zheng Chenggong before he set off and made an appointment to attack.

For this reason, Lian Chengbi organized a sailor to go to Zhaoqing to join Li Dingguo by going to Jiulongkou Waterway. As a result, the "United Fleet" was still on the way, and it had already received the news of Li Dingguo's defeat in Zhaoqing Mansion, and hurriedly retreated back, and the closest to Shangchuan Island and Wencun, Chen Qice and Wang Xing had a good relationship for many years, and soon got the news, and sent someone to send it to Chen Kai's hands.

Li Dingguo, who became a famous king twice last year, lost to Shang Kexi this year, and a provincial capital like Guilin can take it, but it turned out to be a big surprise in small Zhaoqing.

From a very long time ago, when Chen Kai began to develop in Guangdong, he had already begun to recall a series of related events about the Battle of Zhaoqing. Specific, such as the list of generals who participated in the battle, such as the specific date, these are too detailed, he asked himself that his memory is good, but it is also difficult to remember clearly. I only know that Li Dingguo's defeat in Zhaoqing was a defeat in the siege battle, and then the army was broken by Shang Kexi when he withdrew, and finally chose to withdraw from the Guangdong battlefield.

According to this letter, Li Dingguo should have started the siege on March 26, and had already defeated Zhaoqing on the eighth day of April and had to withdraw his troops.

Chen Kai only remembered that the Battle of Zhaoqing lasted for a short time, but he couldn't remember how long, but it certainly didn't last more than a month. Because the operating cycle is too short and the fault tolerance rate is too low, he will miss it if there is a slight delay on the road, and he will be even more startled in advance, so he will express his attitude to Zheng Chenggong and strongly advocate not participating in this battle. But now it seems that it was less than a month, from the beginning of the battle on March 26 to the defeat on the eighth day of the first month of April, twelve days, not even half a month, now that I think about it, it is fortunate that I did not get involved. concentrate

"Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu are really taught by a master, two feudal armies, they don't understand the truth of besieging the city at all, isn't this forcing the Qing army to fight with them?"

Li Dingguo's department has not suffered much damage every time, this has been emphasized by many people countless times, Chen Kai remembers it very clearly, but why did the army withdraw if the damage was not big, there was nothing to do in Guangxi at that time, Huguang had Sun Kewang in hope, and it was impossible for Tunqi to let His Royal Highness the King of Qin come to Guangxi to chase him, obviously the military food was not enough, and the army was newly defeated, and it was not suitable to fight again, so it would be so.

Chen Kai thought about it carefully, read it again with this letter, and slowly figured out the situation at that time. Speaking of which, Li Dingguo thought that he would solve Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao in a devastating manner, even if the army lacked food, he was constantly launching attacks, in order to rely on capture to seize the city of Guangzhou.

This is an economic question, and the risks are enormous. In this model, once the capital chain of the seized grain and grass is broken, the army will disperse if there is no food, and the choice left for him is to continue to follow up and replenish the position, in order to hope that the general trend will improve, or find someone to inject capital to fill the position, or simply clear the position and stop the loss. But at that time, Li Dingguo had just experienced a defeat, there was a shortage of funds, he was unable to replenish the position, and the funds for contact could not be in place, so he had to choose the latter to have a chance to fight again next year. Otherwise, you will have to blend into the blue sky and white clouds of Zhaoqing. Of course, "I'd rather die in the wilderness than surrender", Li Dingguo will not be like this, but it will not help.

In this regard, Chen Kai asked himself that there was nothing he could do, because the grain of Chaozhou still had to supply the armies of southern Fujian and eastern Guangdong. Even if these two soldiers are hungry, Li Dingguo is also an army of 40,000 people, people eat horses and chew, and they also raise war elephants, which are transported from Chaozhou to Zhaoqing, and the consumption along the way is also amazing.

"The proud army will be defeated, and it is true."

Li Dingguo looked down on Shang Kexi, so he sent troops so rashly. It's like last year, Kong Youde looked down on him, Nikan looked down on him, and they all died in his hands; It's like Liu Wenxiu looked down on Wu Sangui, and as a result, Liu Wenxiu was defeated by Baoning, the reason is the same. The difference is nothing more than that his losses are smaller, and the withdrawal of troops is mixed with more economic factors, nothing more.

"The most ridiculous thing is that this matter has become a major crime of Zheng Chenggong in later generations."

didn't come to aid Li Dingguo, so Zheng Chenggong was selfish. As everyone knows, Zheng Chenggong was facing a battle of life and death at that time, how could he care if you Li Dingguo could fight Zhaoqing or not.

As for Hao Shangjiu, it is even more ridiculous, Zheng Chenggong and Hao Shangjiu have deep contradictions, which have lasted for many years, and the two sides have not exchanged troops once or twice, each time both sides are doing their best, and the casualties are not small.

If Zheng Chenggong and Hao Shangjiu formed an alliance to aid Li Dingguo, not to mention Zheng Hongkui's generals, as well as Huang Ting and Hong Xishan, who had been attacked by Hao Shangjiu, and not to mention the grudges accumulated after several confrontations between the two sides, only to say that militarily, at that time, Chaozhou was full of strong enemies, Wu Liuqi of Sanhe Dam in Taipo, Xu Long of Chenghai Nanyangzhai, Jieshiwei and Su Li of Huilai County, none of them were fuel-efficient lamps, all of them were ordered by the Qing court, and Hao Shangjiu could not move. Even, even if Zheng Chenggong and Hao Shangjiu can pass these three levels together, there are still Huang Yingjie and Zhang Daoying who are blocking their way to Guangzhou.

The land route is like this, take the water route, so instead of going to aid Li Dingguo, it is better for the two armies to work together to take Guangzhou and fight a siege of Wei to save Zhao, isn't it better than going to Zhaoqing to add oil?

But the problem is that Hao Shangjiu does not have such a large-scale water division, and Zheng Chenggong, who has a water division, is still facing a life-and-death battle, and has no time to take care of anything else.

Therefore, the whole battle of Zhaoqing was just Li Dingguo's wishful thinking, he believed that this battle would be devastating, so he did not make sufficient preparations for food and grass in advance, regardless of the actual situation, rashly contacted two allies who could not converge with him at all, and underestimated Shang Kexi when he was about to fight, and he did not remember that when he defeated Kong Youde last year, there were many factors of Kong Youde despising the enemy. In the end, the army was defeated and retreated to Guangxi, who can be blamed?

Speaking of which, it's still the same sentence, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated!

"Brother Li, that's why I refuse to cooperate with that King of Xining."

Chen Kai didn't tell Li Jianjie all his thoughts, but he also mentioned some things that could be mentioned, such as his "rumors" of Sun Li discord, for example, he guessed that Li Dingguo was short of food and grass, for example, he estimated that Li Dingguo looked down on Shang Kexi, for example, he expected that Li Dingguo would withdraw immediately if he could not win quickly, and now everything has been fulfilled in front of Li Jianjie's eyes, and he can't help but believe it.

"Li Dingguo has withdrawn his troops, and the Guangdong battlefield has returned to its original state. Next, let's guess what Shang Kexi will do? ”

"Could it be that he is going to attack Chaozhou, at least I don't think he really dares to go deep into Guangxi to chase the king of Xining."

Hearing this, Chen Kai clapped his hands and praised. Shang Kexi really didn't dare, because Li Dingguo's strength still existed, and he had won now, so why should he take the risk to solve the problem for the Dingnan Domain. This is human nature, Chen Kai thought of this, his eyes narrowed, his vision became narrower and narrower, and the things in front of him became more and more blurred, but the space for fantasy was increasing.

"Assuming that I am Shang Kexi, Li Dingguo is gone, then my biggest opponent in Guangdong is that Chen Kai again. This surnamed Chen is a bit cunning and snake-like. To deal with him, it is unwise to hit the fortress like Geng Jimao's stunned head. If you want to fight, you have to hit him seven inches! ”

Note: This year, the Ming Dynasty calendar has a leap July, and the Qing Dynasty has a leap June, so there will be no possibility that Li Dingguo will be undercounted by one month because of the leap month.
