The battle to defend Changsha lasted five hours, and the new army of the Ming Dynasty annihilated 80,000 people of Zhang Xianzhong's main force at the cost of more than 1,000 casualties, captured 120,000 alive, and captured countless horses, grain, and grass.

More than 10,000 elite troops of the new army are invincible in the autumn wind sweeping the leaves all the way to the city and pulling out the village, and in just half a month, more than ten county towns around Yiyang and Changde have surrounded Dongting Lake and pointed to Yuezhou.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu, the fleeing general who retreated to Nanchang, Jiangxi, was still reluctant to take a step forward after receiving Chongzhen's order to rush to Shen Xing's aid, perhaps because he was worried about the two-sided attack of Li Zicheng's army in Xiangyang, or perhaps in order to preserve his strength in order to seek his own plans, anyway, he was three steps back, and let Chongzhen's 800-mile hurried horse run and break his leg, and he lived a beautiful little life in peace

Shen Xing, who is as heartbroken as the old Zhuge of Han Shu, not to mention recovering Zhang Xianzhong's territory while fighting, he also has to work hard to educate those rebel troops, settle the displaced people to resume production, and invigorate the economy, and work hard to seek development. Anyway, it's like an old mother wiping shit and wiping her ass for Zhang Xianzhong's sin.

In the old palace of King Chu of Wuchang, Zhang Xianzhong has been overwhelmed by the defeated military reports for several days, and he angrily beats everything that can be touched. "Shen Xing, Shen Zhenming, damn Shen Fatty, what kind of evil did this king create in his previous life to meet such a bad star as you, why do you have to work so hard?"

"King, for the sake of today, we must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible! Outside Yuezhou City, Shen Zhenming gathered more than 100,000 waterway troops, and according to this situation, I am afraid that he will attack Wuchang in less than half a month! Wang Zhaolin looked at the newspapers that were sent one after another and said very nervously, he and Yan Ximing had been thinking and meditating for several days, but they still couldn't find a way to do both worlds even if they scratched their scalps like this.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong kicked over the table and said as if he had made some important decision: "Master Yan, you will go to Li Zicheng tomorrow with a lot of money to explain the key to the matter, and let him get out of the way in Yichang, and our Western Army can only capture Chongqing and retreat into western Sichuan." ”

Such a strategy to give up the Central Plains can be described as a strong man breaking his wrist, Sichuan since ancient times the country of abundance is easy to defend and difficult to attack, without a strong military deployment can be said to be difficult, they as a military strategist did not think of such a strategy to occupy the defending side to make a comeback, but the world knows that Li Zicheng has the intention of absorbing Zhang Xianzhong's troops, at this time begging him to make way is not a fool's dream.

Yan Ximing wanted to speak and stopped, for fear that his opening would anger Zhang Xianzhong, who was already on the verge of collapse, but he kept his mouth shut and felt that he had lost his identity as a strategist, so after thinking about it again and again, he finally decided to explain the difficulty of this strategy. "King, then Li Zicheng has long been eyeing the Great Western Army, and it is a great luck not to fall into the well this time, how can he give up the road to help him with such a good opportunity!"

"Li Chuang's dog thief has robbed him several times by fire, how can he dare to think that I will serve him, this time he will get out of the way, if not, I will blame the king for not reading the same righteous army, you tell him bluntly, if I am forced Zhang Xianzhong to be cornered, be careful that I lowered Shen Zhenming and stabbed him in the back!"

In order to survive, the righteous leader actually said such shameless words, what is the difference between those lazy people on the street, Wang Zhaolin and Yan Ximing sighed silently, and deeply felt sorry for themselves for the sadness of the autumn and spring of the Ming Lord, but the king's order has been made, even if there is all unwillingness, it must be carried out according to the rules.

Even though Zhang Xianzhong made sufficient preparations to take advantage of the geographical advantage to resist stubbornly, the result was still greatly unexpected by him, because Shen Xing's army surrendered Yuezhou City without blood in one day, and it was not half of the half-month deadline that Wang Zhaolin said.

The Shen family army became more and more courageous, gathered more and more, and when they drove outside Wuchang City, the form of the two armies was completely adjusted from when they were in Changsha City, because now it was Shen Xing's turn to surround him with an army of 200,000 people, and Zhang Xianzhong was almost woken up by his subordinates in his sleep and fled with tens of thousands of elites overnight.

The gold and silver that had finally been scraped up were soft and soft, and they were all placed in the palace of the King of Chu and waiting for Shen Xing to take them. Seeing those mountains of gold and silver in the palace, Shen Xing was actually not surprised at all, when the Ming Dynasty was handed over to Chongzhen, it seemed to be stormy, and the mountains and rivers were broken, but the rotten ones were all furs, and the essence in the bones was all sucked up by those powerful people, and now they were stirred up by Zhang Xianzhong, and they spit out all the pus.

If you are seriously ill, you need fierce medicine, if you are still as timid as Chongzhen, in the end, the result will still be the same as the death of the Ming Dynasty and the suffering of the people. Shen Xing knew that he didn't have the courage of those great men in later generations, and dared to challenge this erosive world, since he didn't dare to do it, let others do it, such as Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng.

Let them go to make trouble, rob and kill, to break all the existing feudal tumors, and give Daming, a terminally ill patient, a complete blood exchange, and what they need to do is to control the strength of the fierce medicine, and strangle their two blood-sucking grasshoppers to death at the right time, so that Daming can be reborn.

As for how future generations will judge themselves, anyway, as a descendant, they will not care about these nihilistic things, who calls us realist worshippers?

Shen Xing laughed to himself when he thought about it, but he didn't know that Cao Huachun, an old thing, had been looking at him silently in secret for a long time, and when he found the coolness behind him, he was really startled.

"Cao Dada, do you want to be so elusive, you almost didn't scare the young master out of my urine!" Hearing Shen Xing say so half-jokingly, Cao Huachun arched his hand without smiling, "Lord Shen, you are proud of the spring breeze, the miscellaneous family really doesn't know what you have now, you have hundreds of thousands of troops, and you have more than 100 counties in two lakes, you are really amazing now!" ”

There is a strange thing in the words, the male duck's voice seems to be much higher today, and there is that step by step posture, this old thing has bad intentions! Shen Xing rolled up his sleeves and rolled a carp to the feet of the four girls of Meilan Zhuju, seeing that the dog understood that he had to pull out the *** escort, the worry in his heart instantly decreased a little, and he wiped the cold sweat with his free hand.

He didn't want to die before he left the school, and he was killed by a dead eunuch. "Cao Dada, don't be impulsive, don't look at your hard body, but you're afraid of being strong, you don't see the dog, he's a practicing family, a top two, if you have anything to say, young master, I'm timid."

"Young master, what do you have to say to this old thing, you don't need to talk to him about the rules of the rivers and lakes, there are all our people outside, as long as you shout to protect the martial arts boss with a shot, he will end him, the sword formation of the four ladies He can't bargain, dog, I have been practicing hard for a year, and I have long wanted to learn the kung fu of the old thing!"

Although the dog said loudly, Shen Xing felt that he was a little weak-hearted. At the same time, Cao Huachun also laughed. "Little thing, the person is not big, and the tone is not small, if it weren't for your cleverness, the miscellaneous family would have killed you just now, don't you want more people to bully less? Let's see if your guns are fast or my hands and feet are fast. ”

Shen Xing almost didn't blink his eyes, but he still didn't see what was going on, and he saw that the two little eunuchs behind Old Man Cao who had seen how to think about the sissy before made a move, and then Meilan Zhuju all rushed out.

After shouting loudly, Old Man Cao's iron claw-like hand grabbed his neck, and then looked at the dog who was already lying on the ground with a nosebleed and didn't wake up, what about the four girls of Meilan Zhuju? The sword in his hand was also broken into two, and one by one he either covered his shoulders or couldn't stand up from the ground.

It seems that the two dead sissies should not have gone all out, but the miserable appearance of the dog made Shen Xing's heart cold for a while, and he shouted at the moment, regardless of his own safety. "Old thief Cao, you won't kill the dog, tell you that if he dies, I want you to be buried with the nine clans!" Hearing Shen Xing's words, Cao Huachun was not moved at all, but the dark energy in his hand increased a little.

A group of guards came in and saw this scene, and they all raised their guns nervously, but when they saw that Shen Xing couldn't say a word, Wu Xianlu took the lead in putting down the gun. "Gonggong Cao, what do you have to say if your subordinates are merciful, the current military situation is not stable, Li Zicheng's army in Xiangyang may go south at any time, if there is anything bad for the Hou Ye, this situation is ......"

"Don't worry, your Hou Ye can't die, and you still have to punish the nine clans of the miscellaneous family just now?" After Cao Huachun finished speaking, his hand loosened a little, Shen Xing choked into tears like he came back to life, and the dog on the ground sat up as violently as a soul, shaking his head and patting his cheeks, and wiping his nosebleed.
