Chapter 287: The War Resumes
Sun Kewang's army was defeated, Guiyang was quickly breached, and Ma Bao basically occupied eighty percent of Guizhou's land. Sun Kewang's 30,000 soldiers and horses are now less than 10,000 left.
And Zhang Xianzhong, who was in Chengdu, Sichuan, had been receiving victory news from Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, and was very happy in Chengdu at this time. Every day, he constantly drinks and has fun, pampering Mei Ji. At the same time, an edict was issued to recruit beautiful women, so the people of Shuzhong suffered, and many of the people's daughters were arrested after a little appearance. As for whether it will be dedicated to Zhang Xianzhong or become a palace maid in the future, or even be sent back and forth as a gift by those officials, it is not certain.
So many people hurriedly married off their daughters, so that many people casually caught a good-looking man on the street and went to their homes to marry their daughters, and avoided the show girls in turn.
Many ministers are looking for beautiful women everywhere to dedicate themselves to Zhang Xianzhong, in order to get promoted. That Zhang Xianzhong is not as powerful as he was back then, and now Zhang Xianzhong is obese, like a ball.
"Report! Guizhou urgent! β
A scout eight hundred miles urgent, fast horses galloped directly to the city of Chengdu, a few days ago there were also a lot of scouts back, each time brought good news, so that Zhang Xianzhong was happy, and ordered that as long as the scouts of the southern war came back without going through layers of checks, they could go directly to the palace.
Zhang Xianzhong twisted his fat body, trembling when he walked, and there were two eunuchs on both sides to support him, and it was estimated that if he didn't help him, he was likely to fall to the ground after walking a few steps. Before he walked for a while, Zhang Xianzhong was tired and sweaty. When he reached the top of the dragon chair in the hall, he breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, two glamorous palace maids came over, picked up the fragrant handkerchief and gave Zhang Xianzhong to carefully wipe the sweat on his forehead.
Zhang Xianzhong snorted obscenely. laughed, one hand held the arm of a palace maid, and the other hand reached into the palace maid's chest, and the two peaks were pinched by Zhang Xianzhong. But no matter how hard Zhang Xianzhong tried, the palace maid didn't dare to shout out no matter how painful she was.
In the past, there was a palace maid who screamed out when Zhang Xianzhong stroked her two white rabbits, and then Zhang Xianzhong died in a rage. Since then, no one in the palace has dared to cry.
"What's wrong with Guizhou? But the good news? Didn't you say a few days ago that Guizhou has been pacified? Could it be that my son has found a baby in Guizhou again and wants to tell me? Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile to the scout below.
When the scout heard this, he secretly glanced at Zhang Xianzhong, and immediately lowered his head. He said in a low voice: "Back to the emperor, it isβyesβthe general has been defeated, and the army has retreated to Bijiewei." The scout didn't dare to say more, because he sensed the anger of Zhang Xianzhong sitting on the dragon chair, and at this time, the temperature in the entire hall seemed to drop by a few degrees. It's August and it's hot, but the scouts feel like winter.
Zhang Xianzhong is famous for killing people without blinking, and there are countless souls who died under his knife, which one of the ordinary people is not afraid when they see him?
"Smack!"
Zhang Xianzhong's face was full of anger at this moment, and he slapped the hard nanmu table with his palm, causing a loud noise.
"Didn't you say a few days ago that Guizhou has been fully occupied? How so! Hmph, let Sun Kewang attack back immediately, no matter what he does, if he loses Guizhou, he will definitely not let him have a good time. After that, Zhang Xianzhong flicked his sleeves and left the hall with the eunuch and palace maid. This was a good mood, but at the moment it was made to be gone.
It is said that after Duoduo returned to Beijing to meet Dorgon, he was ordered to lead 10,000 cavalry to reinforce Julu, and now Duoduo is not what it used to be, he has been defeated many times before, and no one is optimistic about him anymore. If Dorgon had ordered him to send troops, he would have met with opposition from many generals, but now this was not the case, and after Dorgon led his troops to defeat and force Hoyandegang to death, his status rose steadily.
Dorgon's order this time was to make Dorgor the marshal of the army, which meant that the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Haug in Julu City would also obey Dorg's orders.
Nothing to say all the way. When Duoduo raised his army, Liu Xia got the news, so he hurriedly summoned all the generals to come to discuss, and at this moment Li Wen, Niu Chao, Zhang Yang, Shouhu, Zhang Yuan, Shoubiao and others made their own remarks.
I only heard Niu Chao say: "What is there to be afraid of, isn't it Duoduo, this guy is not the first time we have dealt with each other." It wasn't defeated that time before, this guy is really a powerful person, he has been defeated so many times, and now he is not dead. It's amazing to dare to come. β
"The prince asked the last general to lead the Long Xiang Guard to attack him, and he will definitely be able to defeat him!" Niu Chao swore as if Duoduo had already been defeated by his own men. Today's Niu Dynasty is full of arrogance.
Shouhu directly ignored Niu Chao's opinion, and only listened to him: "Lord Wang, if we let Naduoduo enter Julu City, the 20,000 soldiers and horses in that city will definitely be able to be wiped out, if we take advantage of Naduoduo's precedence, we will capture Julu City first." β
Zhang Yang said: "You only need to let the last general lead Feng Xiangwei to attack, not to mention Duoduo, even if the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals come, the last general will let him come and go." β
Liu Xia shook his head and directly ignored the words of Zhang Yang and Niu Chao. Both of them exaggerated themselves too much. Liu Xia asked Li Wen, "Sir, what do you think?" β
Li Wen stroked his beard, smiled slightly, and said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates feel that General Shouhu's words are reasonable, but now Duoduo has not yet arrived in Julu City, and it is rumored that Haoge has fainted, and there is no leader in the city at this moment. They must be demoralized. Besides, the giant deer is not a big city in the first place, the city is small, and there are few people. The city is not too strong. If we don'tβ"
When Li Wen said this, Liu Xia hurriedly smiled and said: "Mr. is saying that if you let the artillery bombard the city of Julu, you will definitely be able to raze the city to the ground, and at the same time, you will also send troops and horses to block Duoduo's troops and stop it." Take advantage of this time to break through the giant deer city and defeat it. Even if Naduoduo led his troops to Julu, all he got was a ruined city, and the Qing army inside was all dead. β
Li Wen smiled: "The prince is wise. That's exactly what the subordinates mean. The prince can send 13,000 people from the Tiger Brigade and Feng Xiangwei to stop Duoduo, and lead the Violent Bear Brigade to bombard the Julu City with artillery. The morale of the troops in Julu City is low and the force is insufficient. The strength of a brigade is sufficient. β
Li Wenyan stopped, and the flamboyant cow suddenly lit up in the eyes of the two. It's a good thing to let yourself go and stop Dodor! Thinking of this, they all looked at Liu Xia happily.
When Liu Xia heard this, he thought for a moment, and said: "That's it, this prince led the Tiger Brigade to attack Julu City, and Li Wenyou, Niu Chao, Zhang Yang, and Shouhu led the Violent Bear Brigade and Feng Xiangwei to snipe Duoduo!" Niu Chao led Long Xiangwei to the rear, always as a support. Without further ado, let's get ready and go now. β
"Yes!"
Although Niu Chao was very dissatisfied with the arrangement, now that Liu Xia had already filmed the case, he had no choice but to be a backup.
"There is no battle to fight again. Why is it that every time that braggado has a fight! Niu Chao walked out of the council hall, walked with a slightly unhappy face, and muttered.
However, Zhang Yang, who happened to be walking over, heard it, and when he heard it, Zhang Yang immediately said to Niu Chao with a grin: "Brother Niu, what's wrong, why is your face unhappy!" Hey. Alas, this time I am going to fight again, and the younger brother will not talk to the eldest brother, and when the younger brother returns triumphantly, he will talk to the eldest brother. "I want to leave. However, Niu Chao was angry at this moment. said angrily: "You kid, you will be angry, isn't it just that you have become a pioneer, and now you want to fight again?" What is there to be angry about, when my brother was fighting, you-" Speaking of this, Niu Chao suddenly realized that when he was fighting, Zhang Yang seemed to be fighting.
Both of them debuted together, and they both started in Yangzhou together with Liu Xia, although Zhang Yang was young at the time, but he also went to the battlefield with weapons.
