In Wenyuan Pavilion, the animal charcoal burned red, Hou Xuanyan felt a little hot, stood up, pushed open the window, on the turf outside the window, the tender green sprouts, and the spring breeze made people feel refreshed.

Liu Zhongzao, the first assistant of the cabinet, sat in front of the desk, and the other two university scholars Zhang Huangyan and Lu Zhenfei all had bitter hatred on their faces.

Liu Zhongzao sighed and said, "Duke Yueguo, there are three prison states in the southwest at once, and it is clear that they don't take our court seriously. Ding Kuichu and Zhai Shiyun have no less than 200,000 soldiers, as well as wolf soldiers from various toasts in the southwest, and their strength should not be underestimated. The Hunan soldiers in Changsha Mansion have only been recruited for half a year, how can they quell the rebellion. ”

After Liu Zhongzao finished speaking, he turned to Zhang Huangyan and said, "Xuanzhu, you speak, the Hunan soldiers were recruited by you, you know best." ”

Zhang Huangyan was ashamed for a while, although the Hunan soldiers were recruited and trained by themselves, but he was not very familiar with the operation. But later, the Changsha counterattack was a dazzling battle, and it didn't look like a new army. But when he was sent to Liangguang to take the lead, Zhang Huangyan had no confidence in his heart.

After all, Zhang Huangyan was the first chief soldier of the Hunan Barracks, and when he saw Liu Zhongzao's words, he despised the Hunan Barracks quite a bit, and he was also a little resentful in his heart. But he was the youngest and was able to enter the cabinet, all thanks to this great purge, and he killed all the people in front of him. The cabinet is the most senior, so Zhang Huangyan didn't dare to offend Liu Zhongzao, and said ambiguously: "The Hunan soldiers are brave, but I don't know how they will perform this time." ”

When Liu Zhongzao heard this, it was the same as if he hadn't said it, and he glanced at him dissatisfied.

Hou Xuanyan turned his back to the three scholars and said loudly: "Otherwise? Yangzhou Jingxiang is an important place, and it is playing with fire to dispatch troops to the south. The thick soil camp can't be moved, who knows when the Sanshun king in the mountain won't come out of the mountain. I have already transferred Wu Shengzhao to hold Ganzhou, as long as Ganzhou is in his hands, Liangguang is equivalent to being pinched by the throat, and there is no need to worry about it at all. I heard that Yongli and Shaowu have now met each other with swords and are fighting happily. Speaking of this, Hou Xuanyan couldn't help laughing, these people are really weird. Before he sent troops, the two rebels were already inextricably linked. It's not too pleasant to be an enemy with such a person, it's hard to imagine that when these people didn't stand on their own in the past, they were all their teammates, and every time I think of Hou Xuan, I am afraid.

Hou Xuanyan continued: "Besides, between the two Guangzhous, there are mountains and mountains. Let the Jiangnan and Zhejiang soldiers go, and their strength will inevitably be greatly reduced. The Hunan soldiers are different, their hometown is also a mountainous area, and they will not be affected so much when they fight in Liangguang. ”

Lu Zhenfei touched his beard and said, "Having said that, isn't it too child's fun to choose this coach." Xia Wanchun is only 17 years old, and he commands the three armies to fight alone, which is always unreassuring, so it is better to send a veteran to be foolproof. ”

Zhang Huangyan nodded, deeply agreed, and was eager to ask for help.

Hou Xuanyan immediately said: "It's okay, Xia Wanchun followed me to fight in the south and north, and Suzhou City has not been absent from the beginning of the battle." Which military general in the DPRK and China is not as outstanding as him, let him go I can rest assured. ”

Zhang Huangyan's face turned red, and he swallowed the words that came to his mouth, he lost to the desperate Hong Chengchou in the first battle of Zhenjiang, which is still a piece of his heart. In terms of combat record alone, he is indeed inferior to Xia Wanchun.

Liu Zhongzao sighed secretly in his heart, if he really wins in this way, Liangguang will definitely be like Huguang, firmly grasped by the young Guogong in front of him. The emperor was not born, and Wenyuan Pavilion is now the center of power in the world, with Hou Xuanyan temporarily regent, assisted by three university scholars, and handling the world's government affairs. In this way, Xia Wanchun took command and led the Hunan military camp and the Fengzi battalion to crusade against the two independent regimes of Liangguang and Guangzhou, and the order was sent out from Wenyuan Pavilion.

Xia Wanchun led the troops from Changsha Mansion and went out of the Dragon and Tiger Pass, winning three battles and three victories. In less than seven days, Zhai Shiyun and his Gui soldiers surrounded the city of Guilin.

At the head of Guilin City, Zhai Shiyun looked at the soldiers and horses under the city, his brows tightened. Since the Hunan soldiers crossed the Dragon and Tiger Pass, he sent a distress signal to Ding Kuichu, and seven days have passed, and there has been no movement in the Yongli Small Court. The so-called Shangshu Lu Daqi of the Ministry of War simply pretended to be sick in fright, and this was not the first time he had pretended to be sick. When Emperor Chongzhen asked him to suppress bandits, he scared this old Donglin into bed for a month, and watched Li Zicheng sweep through Henan.

Xia Wanchun looked at the sparse guards on the city tower, and couldn't bear it, if he was caught in Jinling, Zhai Shiyun estimated that he would not be able to escape death. Although Zhai Shiyun refused to admit Emperor Longwu and often made revolutions in Guangxi, in Xia Wanchun's eyes, this was a good official with a heart for the Ming Dynasty, at least he had integrity.

"Bring pen and ink, I will write a letter of persuasion, and you will shoot down the city."

Hong Yixun, who came with the army, has always been responsible for providing information everywhere, so he has always followed Xia Wanchun's side. Hearing this, he asked puzzledly: "Guilin is just around the corner, what kind of persuasion is there?" ”

Xia Wanchun's young face flashed with a trace of unbearability, and said: "What the commander hates the most is a force like Zhai Shiyun that disturbs the Qing Dynasty behind us, if the city is broken by force, Lord Zhai will have no way to live." ”

Hong Yiyun's eyes were cold, and he said: "This kind of person is really happy when he dies." ”

Xia Wanchun knew that he was speechless, gave up writing a letter of persuasion, stretched out his hand, and ordered the flag to wave thousands of horses and thousands of troops to Guilin.

The city of Guilin was soon submerged in the howling Hunan soldiers, like a small boat in the wind and rain.

Zhai Shiyun led the last of his own soldiers, fought and retreated, and retreated to the yamen. Outside the door are the fierce soldiers who have a light in their eyes, waiting to catch them for merit. The rewards and punishments of the Hunan barracks are clear, and the rewards are extremely rich, if you can get the main general of the other party, you can ascend to the sky in one step and rise to the top.

Zhai Shiyun sat in the hall dejectedly, picked up his pen and wrote a desperate poem, and was picked up and coaxed by the Hunan soldiers who rushed to the front and escorted to the commander of the Chinese army.

Calmly wait for death and the death of the city, and the loyal ministers through the ages are independent. For three hundred years, the grace has been long, and the hair is still full of fragrance.

As for Zhu Rongfan, the descendant of the King of Chu, Zhu Rongfan of Linjiang, Kuizhou, Hou Xuanyan directly ordered Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan, to send troops to exterminate him.

The Sichuan soldiers under Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan, were not to be underestimated, and they recaptured Chongqing from Zhang Xianzhong, and repeatedly threatened Chengdu. It's just that in the hearts of these Sichuan generals, driving Zhang Xianzhong out is the top priority.

Zhang Xianzhong is now fighting with Aobai in Hanzhong, and Hou Xuanyan has ordered several times to let Ma Gan control his subordinates and not to attack Chengdu at this time.

Ma Ganyang disobeyed, ostensibly sent troops to suppress Zhu Rongfan, who was in Linjiang, Kuizhou, but in fact secretly turned back, and sent his general Zeng Ying to lead the troops to fight Chengdu, and even the counties around Chengdu Prefecture, and it only took two days to attack the city of Chengdu. When Zhang Xianzhong was leaving, he left Zhang Wenzhong to defend the city, relying on the impregnable Chengdu Mansion to barely resist the fierce general Zeng Ying's round-the-clock attacks.

The road to Shu is difficult, and it is as difficult as the blue sky. The relatively closed news has been taken lightly by Hou Xuanyan and the ministers of the DPRK and China, and they have not been aware of the abnormalities in Chuanzhong.

Zhu Rongfan took this opportunity to recruit troops in the war-torn Sichuan and Guizhou, and his wings gradually plumped.

In this way, in Sichuan, the four forces of Zhang Xianzhong, Ma Gan, Zhu Rongfan, and Aobai fought in a scuffle.

The situation in Sichuan is becoming more and more erosive
