The army that went south to rescue turned down the river after passing the land route of Meiling, passing through Yingde County, Chen Kai did not make any stops, but went straight to Qingyuan County. Because Zhou Quanbin was the first to discover the changes in the Qing army, and the investigation of the situation of the Qing army has never stopped during this time, Chen Kai must summarize these information into the plan as soon as possible, in order to be beneficial to the next action.

Chen Kai disembarked at the dock in Qingyuan County, but the army continued to drive south to Sanshui County. Zhou Quanbin was already waiting at the dock, Chen Kai knew that it was a race against time, so he directly pulled Zhou Quanbin into a shop on the dock, and blasted everyone in the shop out directly, so he directly asked Zhou Quanbin about the current situation.

In the previous report, Zhou Quanbin mentioned that Sihui County was voluntarily abandoned by the Qing army, and the Qing army came from the direction of Guangning County. The fact that the army continued to move south was thanks to this information. However, the specific details cannot be written in too much detail in the emergency report, and you can only understand them in detail when you arrive here.

Next, Zhou Quanbin narrated the situation of the Qing army that he had discovered, such as the Qing army's cavalry raid and deception of the county seat, which were obvious. In addition, there were many unbelievable situations in the Qing army's military operation this time, and Zhou Quanbin also confessed to Chen Kai what he had found and his own analysis.

"This time, Bangxian handled it safely and appropriately, and I am very relieved and easy to do."

patted Zhou Quanbin on the shoulder, and Chen Kai gave an encouraging smile. However, Chen Kai did not plan to let Zhou Quanbin participate in the next military operation, because Hong Chengchou did retreat, but the question was whether the old fox would come and go and return, which he was very unsure. Even if the battle situation in Nangan has been decided, God knows if that guy has any other tricks.

The deployment of Yingde County and Qingyuan County is still the same, but it should be unchanged to respond to all changes. Chen Kai re-boarded the ship and went down the river, and when he arrived at Sanshui, the army had already crossed this area and marched towards the city of Zhaoqing.

This was not Chen Kai's instruction, but Ke Chenshu's temporary decision. Arriving in Sanshui County, Chen Kai got Ke Chenshu's letter as soon as possible, and there was also a team of Qing cavalry, plus the report document hidden in the arms of the leading officer. It clearly mentions the news that the Qing army broke through the capital city of Wuzhou, and that Lian Chengbi and Gao Wengui, a pair of civil and military officials, were martyred.

The re-fall of the capital city of Wuzhou, Chen Kai is not surprised at this point, because this Liangguang lock key is really an important place for soldiers, the two armies of the Ming army have fought for me many times here, it is said that the city head has changed the flag of the king too many times, and even the local people have been accustomed to braiding - the Ming army has the old practice of Emperor Longwu, so they don't care about the people's hairstyle, but for the Qing army, it is the head and hair to choose one of the two. In addition, they will even secretly prepare two sets of clothes at home, one Hanfu and one horse coat, and they will change into the clothes of whichever family occupies the city, so as not to lose their lives due to such things.

Over the years, the situation has been like this, and everyone has the desire to survive, which is understandable. But the problem is that this time Gao Wengui and Lian Chengbi were martyred, and there is not much intersection between Chen Kai and Gao Wengui, and more consideration is given to Li Dingguo's senses. However, over the years, the two sides have actually been quite dirty and unpleasant. But on the whole, the stumbling blocks between the two sides against each other have always been maintained to a level that will not affect the overall situation of the country, and they are not like He Tengjiao and his ilk, who can already be regarded as a person of conscience among civil officials in the late Ming Dynasty.

Such a figure was suddenly martyred, and in terms of geopolitics, even if the northern region of Zhaoqing Prefecture fell into a leaderless situation, he could take advantage of the situation. Even, even the nominal Hong Chengchou has arranged it for him, and a defense against the Qing army in Guangxi is enough to convince everyone. However, this is only an occasional pig, and the teammates who are relatively normal on weekdays are gone, and it is difficult to say whether they will meet more pigs next. What's more, Hong Chengchou has never been a good person who helps others, according to Chen Kai and Zhou Quanbin, this is a trap in itself.

Hit the big luck, Chen Kai is not the slightest interest. Precipitating his mood at the fastest speed, Chen Kai quickly made a decision, and directly ordered Ke Chenshu to take Zhaoqing Fucheng, Deqing Prefecture, Fengkai and Kaijian two counties, and at the same time ordered Zhou Quanbin to lead his troops to control Guangning and Sihui counties, and Chen Yaoce of Sanshui sent troops to control Gaoming and Xinxing two counties, and controlled the entire northern area of Zhaoqing Prefecture in his hands.

Such a move will inevitably cause the collective attention of the generals in western Guangdong and even other friendly forces, which is not conducive to the progress of the united front, and will even affect the tacit understanding between the Zheng group and the Yongli court. However, at this moment, Chen Kai can't take care of this much, because the first thing to ensure is that Guangdong is not yet owned by the Ming Dynasty, otherwise everything will be nonsense!

Ke Chenshu personally raised the army to rush straight to Zhaoqing Mansion City, marching from Sanshui, and it had already returned to the state of countercurrent. However, Ke Chenshu didn't completely count on water transportation, so he chose a cavalry as the vanguard and went straight there. As a result, Zhaoqing Fucheng was the same as the previous Guangning and Sihui, Daniel Zhang and Hu Maozhen did not send troops to stay, as a post station, but also a trumpet to amplify the power of rumors, so that Ke Chenshu's vanguard troops soon discovered one thing, that is, Deqing Zhou City and Fengkai County, the two Qing army two deception cities and raids, did not do it, and the limited defenders and officials were directly frightened by the rumors and fled to Luodingzhou.

Taking advantage of the situation, he occupied these two places again, and since returning to Zhaoqing Mansion, one arrow has been fired, and the city has entered the pot one after another like dumplings, and even the symbolic stickiness has not occurred.

Ke Chen's department quickly took control of Zhaoqing Fucheng, Deqingzhou City, Fengkai and Kaijian, the two county seats. There is also a remnant of the Ming army in the northwest of Zhaoqing Mansion led by Li Yuanyin's general Li Guangen, which also belongs to Wang Han, who did not gain any benefits in the great counteroffensive in the eighth year of Yongli, and can only seek more blessings in the mountains. That army was not too far away from the construction of the county seat, but Ke Chenshu did not directly cede the city to Li Guangen, but sent someone to send a letter to the past, and that's it.

At the same time, Zhou Quanbin and Chen Yaoce's actions in the four counties of Quang Ninh, Sihui, Gaoming and Xinxing were also very smooth. The first two were terrified, and they wished that the troops of the Zheng group would take over the defense of the city; Although the latter two were not within the scope of Daniel Zhang and Hu Maozhen's attacks, the news of the deaths of Lian Chengbi and Gao Wengui quickly spread in Zhaoqing Mansion, and they were also a group of dragons without a leader.

Chen Kai's operations in the northern part of Zhaoqing Prefecture have been unexpectedly smooth, and during this time, he has been sitting in the county town of Sanshui to deal with possible threats from all sides. Especially in the direction of Wuzhou, where the Qing army is also heavily assembled, Ke Chenshu's all-out march is likely to cause a backlash from the Qing army, once the two sides meet, Chen Kai is likely to need to transfer more troops, grain, grass, and military supplies to carry the war to the end.

However, occupying the county seat of Fengkai, the Ming army continued to investigate to the Wuzhou capital city, but the information obtained was unexpected, and even before it was sent to Chen Kai's case, he couldn't help but scold.

"Hong Chengchou's service is really in place, this is especially for five-star praise!"

What the hell is a five-star review, the guards guarding the door, the staff inside the house, and the messenger who reports the news are all unknown. However, Chen Kai's anger was obvious. At this time, everyone was silent, how could they dare to make some movement on the side, especially since they couldn't quite understand which nerve Chen Kai had touched.

"The Hongyi artillery team is still on the side of Ganzhou, and told Admiral Ke that as he asked, the war will end here for the time being."

With the sound of heavy breathing, Chen Kai sat on the Taishi chair, exhausted. The Hongyi artillery team could not arrive for a while, this was not the whole reason, Chen Kai really wanted to recapture the capital city of Wuzhou, which would be of great benefit to him to take over western Guangdong and eastern Guangxi. But the problem is that he has been running this offensive against Nanjiang since the second half of last year, and it was officially launched in the lunar month, and it is now March.

During this period, the army fought several times with the Qing army, sieged the city, marched from Guangzhou to Ganzhou, and this time rushed back from Ganzhou in a hurry, although the return journey was not battled, but the long march made the sergeants tired. In addition, the reward has not been issued for a long time, and at this time, a big war broke out with the Qing army again, or even a continuous war, and it is difficult to maintain the morale of the army. At that time, I am afraid that even the situation in western Guangdong will be difficult to maintain.

Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, suffered such a loss, so that the general trend of the Northern Expedition carefully created by Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin disappeared, and the recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun was postponed until the destruction of the Liao State more than a hundred years later.

Chen Kai asked himself, although he hadn't read much of the sage book, and he hadn't written a single word of Baguwen, but there were so many miscellaneous studies in that stomach that he was terrifying. At least, in such an era, his knowledge reserves are still very amazing compared to others, and such jokes that have been soaked in historical forums are naturally indispensable to dabble in.

Yin Jian is not far away, in the world after the summer. These are what Chen Kai must take into account. Moreover, soon, news came from Ganzhou, saying that the Qing army under the banner of Jiangnan Green Camp was stationed in Ji'an Mansion to assist those Qing troops in defeating the army, and even the Fujian Green Battalion, which was confronting the Ming army in Jianchang Mansion and Shaowu Mansion, also transferred some troops over.

Such a scale is not enough to counterattack Southern Jiangxi, but the Qing army is already working to strengthen the defense of Ji'an Province, apparently intending to make Ji'an Province a second Ganzhou. Although, in Chen Kai's view, the two places are geographically far apart, and their comprehensive replacement can basically be said to be a fool's dream, but the reinforcements of the Qing army still stabilized the war situation in Ganzhou. At least, Huangshan has the same view as Chen Kai and Ke Chenshu on this point - the Ming army has been fighting for several months, and it is already tired, so it is better to withdraw troops and strike for the time being, and first digest and digest the newly acquired territory before talking about anything else.

After giving such an order, Chen Kai covered his face with his hands and rubbed it vigorously before getting up and leaving the office. Chen Kai has been handed over to Huangshan and Ke Chenshu for the defense of Southern Jiangxi and northern Zhaoqing, and as a civilian official and the commander of the Ming Court and the Zheng group in Guangdong, what he needs to do now is not to lead the army, but to help the two armies.

"For the supply of grain, grass and military supplies in Ganzhou, it is still divided into two lines, the supply from Chaozhou and Fujian goes through Tingzhou Prefecture, Ruijin County and Gongshui, while the supply from Guangzhou and Huizhou goes through Beijiang and Zhangshui. As for the defense line in the western part of Zhaoqing Mansion in the direction of Wuzhou Mansion, it is naturally the Xijiang Waterway. Whether it is Ganzhou or Zhaoqing, the two places must strengthen their defenses to be prepared. ”

After giving the final order, Chen Kai set off by boat to return to Guangzhou. got off the ship, went straight to the governor's yamen, and set out for April, even though Wang Jiang and Cao Conglong were in the rear to shoulder the two aspects of civil affairs and litigation and prison, he still had a lot of documents there. However, this time, Chen Kai was not excited about victory, but looked too tired, just glanced at the accumulation of the official room, and then turned around and returned to Houya's home.

Chen Kai returned to Guangzhou, and Zheng Xiyuan was the first to receive the news. took a pair of children out to greet them, and Chen Kai just teased the children and let the nurse take them away, all of which were in Zheng Xiyuan's eyes. When Chen Kai went to bathe and change clothes, Zheng Xiyuan waved away the maid who was waiting, rolled up his sleeves and walked in, grabbed the loofah pulp, and when a pair of soft wattles touched Chen Kai's skin, the latter immediately discovered this abnormality.

"Lady, why are you doing such rough work?"

"The concubine is tired of seeing her husband, and she is afraid that the maidservants below will not serve her well."

The words were soft, just like the weak rubbing of this daughter of a martial arts family who had always been cultivated by everyone's ladies. But it was this softness and powerlessness that went straight to Chen Kai's heart, and he couldn't help but feel moved.

After a hasty grooming, Zheng Xiyuan dried Chen Kai's body, and the husband and wife went back to the main room directly, and they were not even interested in lunch. At this time, it was too early to go to bed, Chen Kai was lying on the recliner with a list on it, but Zheng Xiyuan was sitting on a small stool on the side, watching quietly, Emei frowned slightly, and the word distress arose.

"This war is far from over."

Chen Kai seemed to be physically and mentally exhausted this time, Zheng Xiyuan saw it in his eyes, and when he heard Chen Kai say this, she just responded, and continued to listen to Chen Kai's words.

"The battlefield in Southern Jiangxi went smoothly, and the only accident was that Hong Chengchou cut into northern Guangdong, which made me have to rush back. However, the trouble he caused me was finally taken advantage of by me, otherwise that Sukh Saha might not really be impatient to fight the king. ”

So far, everything is still normal, to be exact, it is still within the normal range, just a sigh of relief, Chen Kai shook his head first, and then continued with a wry smile.

"When the Iron Man Army forcibly broke those Manchurian Eight Banners, I thought it was a win in the whole game. He sent Daniel Zhang and Hu Maozhen, two defeated generals, to raid and deceive the cities of Guangning, Sihui and Zhaoqing, creating rumors to cause reinforcements to withdraw and the defenders to lose heart, resulting in the destruction of Wuzhou City. This can actually be regarded as very normal, after all, soldiers are not tired of cheating, but the problem is that Daniel Zhang and Hu Maozhen broke several cities in a row, and after subduing the defenders, not only did they not slaughter and loot, but even the captured officials and Wang Shi were only put in prison, and then collected some military supplies and went directly to the next journey, and did not do anything in line with their identity except for burning the inventory! ”

If things come out of common sense, they must be demons, of course Zheng Xiyuan understands this truth. What kind of military discipline the Qing army is, this is something that everyone can see and hear, but now Daniel Zhang and Hu Maozhen are pretending to be the Yue family army and the Qi family army, and this style of painting is not right at all.

"There is also Wuzhou Mansion City, Ke Chenshu sent scouts to investigate, and the result was that Ma Xiong and Quan Jie shrank into the Mansion City, and strengthened the defense with one force, and the gate did not go out of the second door and did not step out of the two ladies, and it was almost like a deep boudoir embroidered with flowers and birds...... Not only did they not continue to go south to seize Xunzhou Prefecture and Nanning Prefecture to completely cut off the connection between the two provinces, but they did not even occupy the county seat of Fengkai, just waiting for me to take over. ”

Wuzhou Fucheng is only a short fifty miles away from Fengkai County, and it is still downstream, which can be used as the forward defensive position of Wuzhou Fucheng. Chen Kai mentioned this matter to Zheng Xiyuan as early as when Li Dingguo went west to recover Wuzhou, and he vaguely remembered it here, and the context between them was also vaguely touched.

"Husband, this is Hong Chengchou's old puppet's trap."

"Hey, he's already calculated, and even if I see it, I'll definitely step on it. Because if I don't step on it, the situation in these two areas will be even more eroded. ”
