Chapter 218: Choosing a Direction
The troops were moving rapidly, and many soldiers still had blood on their faces, and Lu Huixiang approached and asked, "Shizi!" In which direction are we retreating? ”
After breaking out of the encirclement, there were three retreat directions available to Kunming Wei: north, east, and west. To the north, it will go deep into the hinterland of the Sichuan Basin, but it will be farther and farther away from Yunnan, and it will never be possible to return; To the east, it was another battlefield between the Qing army and the Wu army - the Hubei-Guizhou border battlefield, and after going east for a while, it could turn south and return to the south, but in this direction, with the entry of Ma Bao's department into Sichuan, the Qing army had achieved an overwhelming advantage, and the danger could be imagined; To the west, you can rendezvous with the Wangping Domain, and then return south!
Qi Liang pondered: "It's impossible to go north, it's getting farther and farther away from Xuzhou Capital. ”
Zhang Jingshan said suddenly: "The son! It's not bad to go north, maybe you can meet with the 07th thousand people of Kunming Wei, so the safety of the prince is more guaranteed. "The 07th thousand-man team has been operating in the rear of the Tuhai Department under orders, and now I don't know what the situation is, the Kunming Health Headquarters has lost contact with it for nearly a month!
This is a huge YouHuo, the Kunming Wei Yeai guerrilla can be described as a fiasco, the 010th thousand people were annihilated, more than 4,000 troops are now only more than 600 left, including more than 100 Tianshuo Mansion Flying Leopard Group Mingwei, it can be said that Kunming Wei has existed in name only, if it can meet with the 07th thousand people, Kunming Wei can barely say that it exists, which is a huge encouragement to the living Kunming Guards.
Qi Liang thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head: "Didn't Jingshan also say that he might not be able to meet the 07th thousand-man team?" Then he said heavily: "After getting rid of the entanglement of the Qing army behind, the troops retreated to the east!" ”
Lu Huixiang was surprised and asked urgently: "Shizi!" Why not retreat west? He thought that it would be much safer to go west to join the Wangping Domain, and he wanted to suggest this to Qi Liang.
Qi Liang replied very strangely: "No, why! It's a decision! "Going west is not to join the Wangping Domain, but to defect, which is taboo for Qi Liang, and he doesn't know anything about the Wangping Domain.
Lu Huixiang was stunned: "Shizi! To the east, it is a prosperous place, the Qing army is heavily guarded, there are many checkpoints, and there are many difficulties! ”
Qi Liang said: "No matter what kind of difficulty it is, we have to go back to Xuzhou Mansion immediately, where General Hu Guozhu and they don't know what to do in a hurry." ”
Lu Huixiang understood Qi Liang's worries and agreed: "Obey the order of the prince!" ”
Since the last time he went out of the city to rescue the prince and was ambushed, Hu Guozhu often looked at the north from afar, and he was powerless! Well, now the two armies are coming to help, but more than a month has passed, is the son still alive?
"General! The Guiming Department and the Miao Renning Department of the South Road have arrived! "A soldier came in to report.
Hu Guozhu said happily: "Go out of the city to greet!" "Hopefully, it's still too late.
Gui Ming and Miao Renning rode forward side by side, and when they saw a gray-clothed general standing majestically in front of them, the two jumped off their horses and ran over at the same time, and bowed down at the same time: "See the general!" ”
Hu Guozhu jumped off the horse and gave his hand: "The two of you have worked hard!" Miao Renning He knew it, just glanced at it and locked his eyes on Gui Ming, he heard that Gui Ming's name started from that time when Gui Ming shot Wu Yinglin's own soldiers, and he couldn't help but look carefully: Qi Yu is lofty, calm and calm, and he is a good talent!
The three of them walked side by side, Gui Ming and Miao Renning were on both sides of Hu Guozhu, Hu Guozhu asked with a smile: "Can the Qing army block the road?" He was very curious, why did the Gui Ming Department arrive before the Ma Bao Department? It stands to reason that it is much farther to start from Kunming than from Guizhou.
Gui Ming said: "On the way, I was blocked by Zhao Liangdong's department, and I was delayed for a day on the way!" ”
Hu Guozhu wondered: "Did you pass it in one day?" ”
At this time, Miao Renning on the other side said: "The general doesn't know, Brother Gui won more with less, and fought against Zhao Liangdong's 7,000 army with 4,000 troops, and defeated Zhao Liangdong's troops in less than an hour!" ”
Hu Guozhu turned his head sideways in surprise and looked at Gui Ming again, Gui Ming said humbly: "Miao Zuo leads false praise, what is Gui's merit?" It's all the result of the hard work of the soldiers! ”
Of course, Hu Guozhu knew the power of Zhao Liangdong's department, and he was the Xuzhou Mansion that was defeated by Zhao Liangdong's department and lost. "Brother Gui! Please get on the horse! He said a lot of respect, "Everyone go to the city, I will wash the dust for the two of you!" ”
The three of them rode into the city together, and Gui Ming asked, "General Hu!" Do you know the current situation of the son? ”
Hu Guozhu was ashamed: "The Qing army is well guarded, and there has never been news of the son!" ”
Gui Ming was anxious, thought for a moment and said, "I want to lead my troops to the bank of the Shiliu River!" ”
Hu Guozhu was shocked and said hurriedly: "Brother Gui, don't be in a hurry, saving the world is not in a hurry, there are Qing troops around Xuzhou Mansion, don't fall into the ambush of the Qing army!" ”
Gui Ming was surprised: "Is there still a Qing army around Xuzhou Mansion?" ”
Hu Guozhu's face was slightly red: "The last time I went to rescue the prince, I was ambushed by the Qing army outside Xuzhou City!" ”
Gui Ming wondered: "But the scouts of our department told me that the Qing army had already crossed the Shiliu River!" ”
Hu Guozhu didn't believe it: "Is there one? ”
Gui Ming looked at Hu Guozhu suspiciously, as a front-line commander, it was impossible not to even know such a big change in the enemy's situation, right? "Did the general see the retreating Zhao Liangdong Division?" He asked.
Hu Guozhu shook his head: "No! ”
Gui Ming said: "Our scouts have been following Zhao Liangdong's troops to retreat north, and Zhao Liangdong's troops crossed to the north bank after retreating to the Shiliu River, and no other Qing troops were found in the surrounding area!" ”
This should be true, Hu Guozhu's face was red, he was frightened by the Qing army, and he didn't dare to come out in Xuzhou City, he calmed down and said: "Although the Qing army has retreated, it is useless for Brother Gui to lead his troops to Shiliuhe at this time?" Could it be that Brother Gui still wants to cross the river and attack it? ? ”
Gui Ming smiled: "Gui hasn't been crazy to that point, I just want to go to the Shiliu River to have a look and find out the news of the world!" In his mind, although he couldn't cross the river and attack, it was still possible to sneak past a few scouts.
Hu Guozhu glanced at it: "Brother Gui doesn't have the idea of smuggling, the Qing army is well guarded, I have sent several waves of people without success, and no one has come back since that message!" He regained his former wisdom and said a word to Gui Ming's thoughts.
Gui Ming was stunned and insisted: "Gui can be counted as a striker to explore!" ”
Hu Guozhu said: "Brother Gui still have to be careful, the Qing army is treacherous!" ”
Gui Ming said: "Please rest assured, Gui will act when he sees the opportunity, what is wrong with a quick retreat!" ”
Hu Guozhu said: "As long as Brother Gui doesn't come by force, it doesn't hurt to go to explore the situation, General Ma Bao's army on the West Road will arrive soon, and then we will work together to attack the Qing army again." "He was really worried that Gui Ming's Savior was acting recklessly!
Gui Ming said: "Gui can save it!" Then he said: "I'll inquire in the front, and you will discuss the strategy in the back, if there is any order that is directly ordered, Gui will carry it out!" ”
Hu Guozhu looked at Gui Ming again in surprise, he was still worried about whether Gui Ming would accept the unified command? Because Gui Ming called himself Gui from beginning to end, this shows that he does not want to be a subordinate, and Gui Ming has the right to do so, he does not have an official position in the Zhou Palace, and his subordinates do not belong to the Zhou Palace. But I didn't expect Gui Ming to be so knowledgeable, first of all, he showed that he was willing to accept unified command, Hu Guozhu was thoughtful, did Gui Ming's insistence on going there mean to avoid this?
