Gao Yigong said with emotion: "I hope he can hold off the Huaxia Army for a little longer, buy us more time, and if it can be until the second half of tomorrow night, the old battalions of the remaining generals can also be transferred." Let's go to Xuancheng first, and then go back to Xiangyang Mansion to fight against the Huaxia Army with Lord He or take the mountain road to Nanyang County, and then enter Henan Mansion to continue to fight with the Qing army. ”

Li Guo shook his head, and said to the knights first: "You go back to Jingzhou Mansion immediately, pass on my military order, the generals of the defense, hand over the task of defense to other deputies, and then they must take their old battalion to Jingzhou Mansion to wait, and at the same time take over the city defense of Jingzhou Mansion, with General Liu as the general, others assist, if the Huaxia army attacks Jingzhou Mansion, it must be resisted first, at least for three days, to buy time for the transfer of the main force, three days later, come here to cross the river and go north, I will wait for them in Nanyang." ”

Gao Yigong added: "If the situation changes, they can break through on their own and find another way to Nanyang Mansion." He turned his head and glanced at Li Guo, not knowing why he chose the place where the Qing army and Lu Guohong Chengchou met the Qing army, where it was definitely not as much as escaping into the mountains of Sishan Prefecture with a large army, at least where the strength of the Qing army was quite weak now.

The Qing army is now infighting, and even they know that the confrontation between the brothers Haoge and Shunzhi will be an earth-shattering battle, and it will not end without deciding the heir to the throne.

The cavalry of the herald went away, and Li Guo said to Gao Yigong: "Prepare, you immediately take your old battalion to go first, the speed must be fast, the Huaxia Army is too powerful, we can't beat it, I didn't think about fighting the Huaxia Army from the beginning, first abandoned the old and weak women and children to Chen Youzheng, and then gave him some newly recruited soldiers who have not followed us for a long time Just I want him to drag the Huaxia Army for us, we have so much more time to prepare, but the time is still not enough."

The Huaxia army is simply an elite division that does not know the fatigue of a hundred battles, and in less than a few days, it has surrounded us like an iron bucket, if it weren't for the Hanshui waterway to go, we might have to fight to the death with his Huaxia army this time.

Alas, sometimes I want to see what kind of heroes are the heroes who have turned a rebel army into a huge monster-like behemoth that even the Qing army is afraid of in ten years, but we don't have that time, politically, he is our enemy, if he is in Longwu Nanming, maybe everyone still has the possibility of cooperation, but they have grown into a rebel army that can shake the country like we used to be, and they can only be enemies in the future. Either you die or I live, in the matter of the national body, brothers and sons will turn their faces and kill each other ....... ”

"Then ——, take care, the last general will wait for you with the Queen Mother in Nanyang." Gao Yigong hugged his fists and said to Li Aidao.

"Let's go, Uncle Gao," he waved his hand.

The night is thick, all parties have all sides of consideration, all parties have all sides of the action, all sides have all sides of the road, in Xiangyang Mansion, He Tengjiao, the Yongli Ming Inspector, a scholar, is good at escaping, good at attracting talents, good at letting others be cannon fodder for themselves, and the Qing army has been around for more than ten years, and the Qing army has been dragging the Qing army to the death Governor He Tengjiao, has a premonition that his days are numbered.

He Tengjiao walked around his mansion, there were no subordinates next to him, only a few generals and officials he trusted, as well as a staff member and a master.

"Lord Governor, why don't we give up here, go to Henan Mansion, or go to Sishan, I heard that Haoge has given up Sishan, transferred his troops back to Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi Prefecture, heavily defended Baoding Mansion, and confronted the Great Qing Kingdom, Sishan is the only place to go at present." A general stood up, his hand on his waist and his sword.

"No, no, the four mountains are surrounded by mountains, the difficulty of the Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, where our hundreds of thousands of troops go, it is possible to let most of the southerners flee on the way, and where there is already the Dashun army Yuan Dizong, Liu Tichun, Hao Shaoqi and others, as well as the Qing army, as well as Li Dingguo's infiltration of the past troops, Tusi mountain people, and many Ming troops left by the Yongli Ming Dynasty.

Each occupies a rich place, and the rest of the places are uninhabited for thousands of miles, and we can die of exhaustion just by eating, without food and grass, without supplies, without taxes, and more importantly, without people, and have to endure mountain streams, wild beasts, miasma, water and soil adaptation, etc., we cannot stand firm anywhere. A master shook his head and sighed as he drank tea.

He Tengjiao looked at his trusted staff, and the staff said: "What the master said, but now we have no choice, the Huaxia army must not be provoked, you see that they surrounded the army of more than 300,000 Li Guo and Chen Youzheng in half a month, and it only took three days to eliminate Chen Youzheng's 120,000 army, and it took three days to restore order there."

Now that the oppression and encirclement of Li Guo's Dashun Loyal Battalion in Jingzhou Prefecture is intensifying, I am afraid that the battle will start within a day or two, and Li Guo's troops will not be better. Perhaps, in half a month, they will return to the army to besiege us, and our army is no match for them, there is no doubt about it. ”

He Tengjiao knocked on his bright head with his fist, and said distressedly: "Originally, I could still deal with the Qing army, the Qing army is not a monolith, the township bravery, regimental training, even some green battalions are not our opponents, we can still take advantage of it, and we can also deal with the Qing army in Hubei, Henan, Hubei, Guangzhou, Jiangxi, Guangxi, and other large places."

Now, the Huaxia army is a battalion step by step, occupying a place, first operating a place, the landlords of the Ming Dynasty, the gentry, whether it is the Qing army, or the original Ming scholars, local land snakes, uprooted, even the people are moving and transferring, not letting them gather together, disrupting the arrangement, and then sending their officials to preach their set, less than a year of effort, they will gain a firm foothold in the new occupied area, and the next year they can turn the occupied area into their territory, the people are loyal, and the army uses their lives.

Oh my God, what happened to God who fell to the ground, so he lowered such a monster-like army, they are more difficult to deal with than Li Zicheng, is it true that God will kill me? ”

"Master, master," He Tengjiao was distressed and helpless, a family member rushed in, hurriedly came to him, and fell to the ground, "Report to the master, the Dubiao cavalry found Li Guo's loyal battalion near Xuancheng, they are gathering troops, depending on the situation, there are thousands of soldiers and horses, I don't know what their intentions are, the scout cavalry saw that they did not dare to come forward to inquire, they were already closely monitoring them, and at the same time sent someone back to ask the master how to deal with it." ”

The master's teacup slammed on the table, made a crisp sound, and shouted: "The loyalty camp is going to run, if they run, we will be in danger." Lord Governor, we can't let the Loyal Battalion run away, so it's better to send news to the spies of the Huaxia Army and let them pack up the Loyal Battalion, so that we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and buy time for us to decide where to go. ”
