Wu Sangui's messenger quietly arrived, bringing a big news that broke the earth.

Zhang Zongfan had already made peace with Wu Sangui and was willing to work with the Manchu Qing to conquer the south of the Yangtze River and rule the river.

Zhang Zongfan gathered 130,000 refugees in Xiezhou, claiming to be 200,000 soldiers and civilians. But he simply didn't have such sufficient capital to support this 100,000 army. Moreover, Xia Wanchun's soldiers and horses are in the east of Sichuan, and they are always going north to fight. It can be expected that when these 130,000 hungry refugees eat up Xiezhou, they will rebel against Zhang Zongfan.

As soon as Wu Sangui's people arrived in Xiezhou, they were regarded by Zhang Zongfan as the last straw. The two sides hit it off, it's not that Zhang Zongfan is too stupid, he believes that Wu Sangui will die for nine lifetimes, and if he doesn't believe in Wu Sangui, he can only die for ten years.

Xiezhou is next to Xiangyang, Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, plus the 130,000 army of Xiezhou, although the good and the bad are uneven, but they should not be underestimated.

Kong Youde and the three of them were overjoyed, they didn't expect that the Daming clan would form an alliance with Wu Sangui and attack the land of Daming in the south. However, the end of the Ming Dynasty was such a miracle era, all kinds of unimaginable strange things were rampant, and there were experts in infighting everywhere.

"In this way, Xiangyang is not ready to be caught, and when the time comes, the door will be closed and the dog will be beaten. If you put Xiangyang alone, not to mention 200,000 people, it is 400,000, and it can't stop the combined attack of Jierharang, Haoge, Azig, the three of us, Wu Sangui, and Zhang Zongfan. Shang Kexi rarely spoke, and his face was happy.

Seeing this, Kong Youde's excited mood was half gone, he couldn't figure out why the Liao people of this Phi Island, whose whole family was killed by Nurhachi, were loyal to the Manchus.

Geng Zhongming was murderous and said: "You go back and tell the king of Pingxi that the three of us brothers will definitely kill all the people around Xiangyang." ”

-------

Outside Nanyang City, the men and horses of King Sanshun went and returned, and together with the Manchu Eight Banners in the north, they surrounded Nanyang.

Countless spies and scouts rushed to other parts of the world from various trails. The focus of the world's forces is concentrated in this place, and every general who dominates one side is watching.

The situation here has undergone a shocking reversal, and the loyal battalion, which has been marching all the way, is surrounded by people in Nanyang City. Kong Youde's soldiers and horses of the three feudal domains burst out ten times as powerful as they did at the beginning of the war.

Soon, the reinforcements of Xiangyang Zheng Zunqian, Gu Yanwu, and Wang Fuzhi joined forces to achieve counter-encirclement.

Before the Ming army could be happy for a few days, from the west of the Kunzhou Mansion and Hanzhong, Wu Sangui and Zhang Zongfan raised troops and stepped into Xiangyang.

Between Xiangyang and Nanyang, people from all walks of life sang and I appeared, changing back and forth between encirclement and counter-encirclement. The situation is complicated, and the flames of war are flying all over the sky.

When the news reached Nanjing, Hou Xuanyan immediately convened his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

Zhang Huangyan, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, asked for orders to bring reinforcements there, and after careful consideration, Hou Xuanyan decided not to support Xiangyang.

The loyal battalion had 200,000 horses, and the losses in the battle of Jingxiang were only tens of thousands, and the incorporated green battalion had already exceeded the battle losses. Today's loyalty camp is probably more than 200,000.

Shaoxing soldiers and horses of 30,000 people, under the leadership of Zheng Zunqian, long town Yuezhou. Gu Yanwu was in Wuchang and Hanyang, with 50,000 soldiers and horses. They practiced day and night, participated in battles many times, and were trustworthy.

Although the main force of the Changsha Mansion led by Wang Fuzhi was transferred to Sichuan and Shu, it was not a problem to be responsible for the transportation of logistics baggage.

300,000 people, if you still can't win, there is no point in sending reinforcements.

Hou Xuanyan stared at the sand table and was silent. Everyone looked at him nervously.

After a long time, Hou Xuanyan coughed lightly, and then raised his voice: "The Houtu Battalion is advancing to Fengyang, the Shuizi Battalion is going north to Huai'an, and the Huozi Battalion is going south to take precautions." Take this opportunity to launch the Northern Expedition of the whole army! ”

Inside the Regency Hall, there was an instant silence, and everyone had different expressions on their faces. The main battle faction looked excited and geared up; Some of those who lacked confidence looked gloomy, worried that the Northern Expedition would fail and lose everything. There are also some people who want to be dark in Jiangnan and learn from the Southern Song Dynasty, but they don't dare to say what they think.

Civil and military officials, unexpectedly, when the emergency military situation in Xiangyang came, Hou Xuanyan not only did not plan to go to the rescue, but wanted to take the opportunity to the Northern Expedition. This is really a great boldness, and the gambler of Yue Guogong has committed it again.

Liu Zhongzao was originally uncomfortable in the Regent Hall, and he couldn't care about his identity at the moment, so he stood up and said urgently: "Guogong, are you in a hurry." In this way, there were wars from Sichuan and Shu to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it was an unprecedented war across the entire Ming Dynasty along the way. We are in a hurry, where there is preparation. ”

Hou Xuanyan disagreed, and said: "We are not prepared, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has it?" How many years has the north been in turmoil, and where is our opponent in the competition for resources. We can spend ten years on the battlefield, and they will collapse in a year. ”

Shen Guangwen, the servant, shook his head and said, "If there is such a big war, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of people will be killed and wounded, and all the people on the front line will also fall into war." ”

Lu Zhenfei laughed and said: "If you don't shed blood, if you don't fight, will the Manchus still give us back the land of the Central Plains with both hands?" ”

Shen Guangwen was a former minister of the Lu Dynasty, and was ridiculed by Lu Zhenfei, the former minister of Emperor Longwu, and Fu Qifang, who was also a member of the Lu Dynasty's Shaoxing family, hurriedly said: "If you plan properly, you may be able to minimize the casualties." ”

Yang Dingqing, the governor of the left capital, immediately ridiculed each other: "The fighter plane is fleeting, if you blindly pursue perfection, you will miss more opportunities." If the Manchus had done it before me, it would have been too late to regret it. ”

"Yang Dudu was in favor of a long-term plan just now, and it only took a moment to support the Northern Expedition? It's getting too fast, right? ”

Yang Dingqing's face turned red, he really didn't approve of it all in his heart, but as soon as he saw his friend being questioned, he immediately stood up to defend him. This kind of behavior of forming a party and protecting each other has become their instinct. After being told about it, Yang Dingqing's eyebrows moved, and he immediately retorted: "Although I am skeptical, the Northern Expedition is what Yue Guogong said, and Guogong has not tasted defeat since Jiangsu and Zhejiang raised troops. When you say this, are you questioning the ability of the national government? ”

"You old thief is the most treacherous, you obviously have selfish intentions, but you use the prince to block arrows."

When Yang Dingqing heard this, he rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward and pinched Shen Guangwen's official robe, and scolded angrily: "Shen Huozi, you dare to insult me for no reason, I am your father's contemporaneous jinshi, I have to teach you a fatherless and kingless dog today." ”

....

Seeing that a rational discussion was about to turn into a dispute between Lu and Tang, Hou Xuanyan slapped the table and scolded: "When is it, you are still fighting in the nest here, I think discussing major matters with you is like playing the piano to a cow." Get out, get out of here. ”

After speaking, he pointed to the two who made the most trouble, and shouted: "These two are removed from their official positions and go to the street to beat each other up and sell their arts!" ”
