Chapter 169: War Book

Both sides moved quickly. When Zheng Zhilong came to the city of Guangzhou, he didn't have time to greet him. There is no rest for the night.

Listening to the horn, Ding Chukui was outside the city of Guangzhou, and the water and land companies were camping, and the momentum was huge. Above the Pearl River, the Pearl River is almost cut off.

Ding Chukui looked at Guangzhou City from afar.

This was what used to be his place, but now it has become an enemy. This sudden change made Ding Chukui very annoyed in his heart.

However, Ding Chukui has been operating in Guangzhou for more than a year, and many of his tentacles have penetrated deep into the grassroots.

Even if Zhang Xuan cleared the superstructure of Guangzhou, many Shaowu officials abandoned their posts and went home. And Hu Tang temporarily stabilized the situation in Guangzhou.

But on some of the details of the problem. Hu Tang also had no way to block it.

Ding Chukui said: "There are only more than 30,000 Xia troops in the city, and yesterday the Zheng fleet arrived, there are probably more than 100 warships and more than 10,000 people. ”

"If the two armies converge and defend the city of Guangzhou, and recruit the people in the city, I'm afraid we won't be able to take the city of Guangzhou for a while."

"Now it's the situation. What to do? ”

Li Guo took a deep breath, he never expected that in just one or two days, the situation would change so much.

It gives him a feeling that he can't catch up with one step, and he can't catch up with a lot of steps.

The news came from Guangzhou, although Ding Chukui wanted to return to the army immediately.

But the retreat under the city must be properly arranged to prevent the pursuit in the city, and to appease the leaders of all parties in the army, you must know that this army, although under the leadership of Ding Chukui, but all the soldiers belong to different leaders, especially the pirates who have just recruited An, the number is the largest, and there are more mountains, and the big leader is Lin Cha, and the four surnamed pirates, even among the four surnamed pirates, there are also their own factions.

Even among the officers and soldiers, there are different mountains, and Ding Chukui is also the largest of them.

Before, with the help of Shaowu's name, he could still suppress the people below, but now Shaowu is gone, and Ding Chukui's prestige is missing a large part.

This can be regarded as a lower-class person at that time, having an emperor and not having an emperor are completely different, making these preparations, Ding Chukui's movements are not slow, it only took one day to make all these preparations. Then immediately return to the army, land and water.

From getting the news to advancing into the city of Guangzhou, it was only three or five days.

But within three to five days, the situation changed so much.

The fighter plane just missed.

"Always unwilling, just retreat." Chen Jitai said. "I'll fix a book with that thief, and see how much self-cultivation that thief has."

The agitation plan is an old-fashioned method, and as for whether it can take effect, Ding Chukui has no hope at all. said: "It's Mr. Lao's brilliant pen." ”

Chen Jitai took over this errand and immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Guangzhou.

And Ding Chukui also made some small actions in private at this time, such as writing a letter to Chen Bangyan, with the idea of defeating the army and wanting to defect to Yongli between the lines. This side has just been sent out, and Chen Jitai's letter has also come to Zhang Xuan's hands.

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Zheng Lian, read it to everyone." ”

Zheng Lian took it, glanced at it, glanced at ten lines, and after reading the general meaning, he said in a low voice: "Does the general really want to read it?" ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Read." ”

"Yes." Zheng Lian said, then coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said: "Chen Jitai, the governor of Guangzhou of the Ming Dynasty, sent a letter to the thief general Zhang Xuan:" The first sentence denied the legitimacy of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"The family of the gentry is a thief because of a daughter, because he thinks it is an insult to his ancestors. The door of innocence is defiled. ”

This is everyone's interpretation of Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan has a lot of work style, it doesn't seem like he has no family education at all, Linying Zhang's family, compared with many scholarly families, is nothing at all, but after all, he has passed the Jinshi. Naturally, it is also the home of the gentry, the door of innocence.

In the first sentence of the opening chapter, he scolded Zhang Xuan's ancestor first. And then word by word is meaner than word by word. Such as: "Tobaisheng is called a famous general, nothing more than a face, a founding official and a minister, but a nepot." "Risky and desperate. The inner is cowardly, and the tree wall is the city. ”

Finally, he said: "Ding Gong is an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he has raised millions of teachers outside the city, and everyone who knows them thinks that the number of wins and losses is also the number of points, and the arm of the praying mantis does not dare to be the teacher of the king." It's better to take the city as early as possible. If there is more courage to be commendable, he will hunt on the bank of the Pearl River and know who is the hero in the world? ”

After Zhang Xuan heard this, he shook his head and said, "Chen Jitai is not everyone. It's too far from Chen Lin's generation. How can these words move me? ”

"General." Luo Dai said: "The last general is willing to be the vanguard and a great humiliation for the general. ”

As soon as Luo Dai said this, the people below got up and said.

Zhang Xuan waved his hand, stopped the noise of everyone, and said: "However, I have been thinking about this battle for a long time. He turned to Zheng Chenggong and said, "General Zheng." ”

Zheng Chenggong said: "The end will be." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "The key to today's prosperity lies in you. There is a huge disparity between friend and foe. I don't dare to claim a big victory, but one thing I am sure of is that my 30,000 old brothers, even if they can't win, can still have the certainty of retreating to Guangzhou. And the Zheng family's army, if they can cross the river, they will break the pirates. The morale of the enemy army will inevitably collapse, and when the time comes, they will chase the dead and drive north. The two wides can be determined. ”

Zhang Xuan looked at Zheng Chenggong with a straight face and said, "The stakes are very high, please ask General Zheng to say something clear." ”

"You can do it, or you can't."

Zheng Chenggong was young in the end, and he didn't feel that Zhang Xuan was agitating, but only felt that his blood was surging. said loudly: "Please rest assured, the general will not win this battle, please behead me to thank you." ”

Shi Lang was standing behind Zheng Chenggong. As one of Zheng Chenggong's subordinates, he came to attend the meeting. As soon as he heard this, he secretly said in his heart: "It's over, I wanted to bargain, but this time I can't do it if I don't work hard, how old and cunning the old master is, how to give birth to such a son, it's really a tiger father and a dog." ”

Although Zheng Chenggong replaced Zheng Zhilong in charge of the water division, his prestige was still inferior to Zheng Zhilong. Many things require the assistance of the generals below. And Shi Lang also has a deep foundation among the Zheng sailors, such as his father Shi Daxuan, who are all important figures in the Zheng sailors.

It is a figure that Zheng Chenggong has just taken over the water division and cannot ignore it.

But Zheng Chenggong didn't know what Shi Lang thought.

"Okay." Zhang Xuan said: "Someone, come to get wine." ”

Immediately brought a cup up, Zhang Xuan waved his hand and said, "Take a big bowl." ”

Immediately, someone brought a bowl of wine, Zhang Xuan held it in both hands and saluted Zheng Chenggong, and said: "The lives of the 33,700 people of the Southern Expedition are entrusted to General Zheng." ”

Zheng Chenggong took the sea bowl and drank it all, fell to the ground with a "pop", and said, "Please wait for the good news, the general." ”

Zhang Xuan immediately arranged it. Attacking by land and water, the 30,000 soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army lined up in the west of Guangzhou, only defending but not attacking, waiting for the enemy to attack. However, the Zheng navy had to go up the Pearl River and fight all the pirates. After arranging all this, Zhang Xuan immediately wrote a letter to the other side. It was written very briefly: "Tomorrow at noon." ”

After Zheng Chenggong went out, he was blown by the sea breeze, and the drunken spirit immediately sobered up most of the time, and let people flush the water, and the whole person was completely sober, and at this moment he knew that he was provoked by Zhang Xuan. But there wasn't much frustration either.

The national situation of the Xia Dynasty can be said to be thriving, and it is also a stimulus for Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Chenggong's heart is no worse than anyone else's.

But many people underestimate him.

He wanted a chance to prove himself.

And Zhang Xuan gave him this opportunity. That's enough. Everything else is subsections.

"After today, I want the whole world to know that I am Zheng Chenggong." Zheng Chenggong's eyes lit up, a gaze mixed with ambition.

The letter came to Ding Chukui, and Ding Chukui could hardly believe it.

At the beginning, when he was under Ma Shiying, when he was in Fengyang, although he did not fight with Zhang Xuan, he also had contact with each other, and now Zhang Xuan is the first general of the Xia Army, with great achievements, how could he be so easily defeated.

But the people under Ding Chukui's command were already excited, and said: "In the battle tomorrow, Zhang Xuan will definitely not be able to return to Guangzhou." ”

Returning in vain under the city of Guangzhou is something that no one wants.

Faced with such a situation, Ding Chukui could only push the shore and said: "Fight to the death tomorrow." ”
