Chapter 132: Li Guo breaks through

"There is still a superintendent in Ganzhou City, and thieves cannot come from Jiangxi, but only block the southern end of Hunan. It's much easier. ”

When Shao Wu heard He Tengjiao's name, his face became ugly, and he said, "That's very good." ”

Regarding Longwu's death, the most unrelieved thing for Shaowu is He Tengjiao. Longwu's reliance on He Tengjiao can be described as deep, and how did He Tengjiao repay him if he was maintained under Ma Shiying.

This is already the case, Shao Wuming knew that he should no longer be entangled in the past, and should work hard to integrate the power of the Ming Court, but when he mentioned He Tengjiao. Shaowu still couldn't control his thoughts.

So don't say that Guangzhou's troops are no longer able to go north to rescue Ganzhou when facing Guilin, I'm afraid that even if they have the ability to rescue, here in Shaowu, they will be denied one by one.

It's just that he didn't know that at this time, in the city of Ganzhou, something happened suddenly.

The long-planned breakthrough battle between Li Guo and Zhang Kuang finally began.

After Li Guo discussed with Zhang Kuang last time, Zhang Kuang frequently sent soldiers to attack at night, and the scale was not small or small.

Zhang Yingyuan couldn't attack the city, so he could only deal with it passively. But even so. Zhang Kuang's actions can also be said to be more than worth the losses.

There is no other reason, in the hands of Zheng Zhangkuang, there are not many elite people who can attack at night.

It's not that you can fight at night by pulling out a soldier. It must be an elite veteran, and under the defeat of the Ming army, there are not many of these elite veterans, and they are used for night attacks. There is a lot of loss.

And Zhang Yingyuan is not a fool, in the first few night attacks, Zhang Kuang still had some gains, but after some actions, there was no good luck, not to mention the loss of soldiers, there was no gain, and even the morale of the only soldiers in the city was shaken.

Many of the soldiers refused to fight.

If this continues, morale will collapse.

However, Zhang Kuang didn't care. Because that's not what he cares about. It's something else.

Among the sewers of Ganzhou Mansion. To be precise, it is in the Fushou ditch.

Fushougou is a sewer built by Liu Yi in the Song Dynasty after Kong Zonghan to resist floods. Cooperate with the Ganzhou city wall, so that Ganzhou city has almost no floods for thousands of years. It even plays a role in modern times.

However, no matter how good the sewer is, it still needs to be maintained.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, wars were frequent, and the imperial court was in a large-scale financial crisis, and the central government continued to draw blood from the localities.

In such a situation, it is obvious that the sewer is not maintained.

And Zhang Kuang has been doing this thing for a while.

You must know that the size of Fushougou is very large, which can accommodate one person and one horse in parallel, and even some nodes can accommodate dozens of more people.

In order to solve the problem of drainage, many places in Fushougou have sneaked out of the city wall of Ganzhou.

However, after Zhang Kuang checked one by one, he found that Fushougou was much bigger, which could accommodate soldiers to walk, but if he wanted to pass through a large-scale army, he didn't have to think about it.

There is only one that seems to have been built with this problem in mind. While taking into account the drainage function, it is also intended to expand the scale so that the fish can run through. And more importantly. Fushougou is not underground all the time, but sometimes lurking and diving, according to the terrain. After many dark ditches leave Ganzhou City, after sneaking for a distance, they become open channels on the ground.

Only this ditch came out of the city a few miles south of the city. Directly into the tribute water.

Hundreds of years have passed. The purpose of building this secret passage during the Northern Song Dynasty is no longer examinable.

But when Zhang Kuang found out that he had the possibility of transporting troops, he immediately started the idea of breaking through.

In fact, when Zhang Kuang first started, he also thought about going around to the back of Zhang Yingyuan's army to give him a blow, after all, Li Guo's cavalry was still quite combative.

But he soon abandoned the plan.

First of all, Zhang Yingyuan guarded strictly, and there were almost no flaws, after all, Zhang Yingyuan was defeated under a hundred battles. Even if they can defeat their opponents slightly, they can't win a big battle, so it is unlikely that they want to leave.

This secret passage, after all, can only be used once.

Also, the morale of the sergeants in Ganzhou City is getting lower and lower. It's okay to defend the city, but don't think about it too much if you break Zhang Yingyuan's department.

At this moment, Zhang Kuang and Li Guo took the last bit of combat power in Ganzhou City, that is, the 3,000 cavalry of Li Guo's headquarters and Zhang Kuang's 3,000 foot soldiers.

In fact, they have long been hidden in Fushougou.

The smell here is very bad, although there was no sewer smell in ancient times, it was pure natural and additive-free, but the smell of rotten things still makes people unbearable.

But in order to survive, Li Guo personally took the lead in lurking in Fushougou.

Next to him was his war horse, and under his feet was unclear flowing water, emitting all kinds of stench. In some places, the water flows faster, and the smell is lighter, and in some places, the water can be stored, and the smell is even worse.

Maybe it's because of this period of events, it didn't rain much, and the water was not deep, but it was embarrassing to submerge the surface of the feet, and in some places it was impossible to submerge the surface of the feet.

But in any case, in the dark passage, it is not pleasant to smell such a smell, and to stand in the water and hide for such a long time. Even eating, I eat here.

In order to keep quiet, all the people were biting on a wooden stick, and the horse's mouth was also taken to chew.

Time seems to pass quickly, and it seems like nothing has passed. It was still in front of everyone's eyes.

Suddenly, a man came from above, and waved his hand with a torch. Li Guo's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Let's go." ”

Li Guo immediately restrained his horse and walked out slowly. Before he could go out, he heard the sound of running water.

The sound of this flowing water is quite loud and far-reaching. It's not like the sound of running water in the sewers.

This is the sound of tribute water.

Li Guo came out to take a look, and sure enough, Gongshui was not far to the east. It is a small slope to Gongshui here, and everyone hides in the open space between the river bank and the river, and it is invisible in the distance.

Under the command of Li Guo, the soldiers in Fushougou walked out one by one. Rest in line in the dark.

When there were about 1,000 people, and this small open space could no longer fit in, Li Guo breathed a sigh of relief. With these manpower, even if there is any emergency, it can be dealt with, unlike just now, if you are blocked in the sewer, it is really impossible to survive, you can't die.

At this time, Ganzhou was in the city. Zhang Kuang, who was standing at the back, took a deep look at Ganzhou City, especially in the direction of the Ganzhou Prefect's Yamen, and finally did not wait for the person he wanted to wait for.

"My lord, let's hurry up and leave when the time is urgent." Zhang Kuang was already urging.

Zhang Kuang said helplessly: "Okay." ”

Immediately, the group went deep into the dark hole and disappeared.

And who is Zhang Kuang waiting for?

It's He Tengjiao.

He Tengjiao was still dressed in a Taoist robe, lighting several oil lamps. In Youzai, he pinched a tea bowl and quietly tasted tea.

"Inspector, General Li and Master Zhang are gone." A person stood beside He Tengjiao and said softly.

"Oh." He Tengjiao said.

Even if He Tengjiao doesn't care about anything, he can't hide the major events in the city, not to mention that Zhang Kuang has come to report to He Tengjiao before.

He Tengjiao didn't give a reply.

"Inspector, now that Ganzhou City is dead, there are no reinforcements outside, and there is not much food in the city, how long can it last? Why didn't the Inspector break through with Master Zhang and General Li? ”

This person is He Tengjiao's close person. Usually I don't dare to speak, but at this time, I can't help but speak.

He Tengjiao smiled lightly and said: "They go to Guangzhou, Guangzhou has their place, if I go to Guangzhou, Guangzhou does not have my place." ”

It stands to reason that He Tengjiao's official position is still above Ding Chukui, he went to Guangzhou, where did he put Ding Chukui?

He Tengjiao was disheartened, but he was also unwilling to toss more. He let out a long sigh, looked at the smoke coming out of the tea bowl in his hand, and said lightly: "In this life, some things can be done wrong, and some things cannot be done wrong. There are some wrong things, even if they are the iron of Kyushu, they can't be wrong. Now that it's been done, there's no way to change it. There's always a price to pay. ”

"That's the price."
