Hou Xuanyan left Chengdu and took with him only Peng Zhuze's 2,000 Xiangxi native soldiers.

Next door is Shunqing Mansion, where Xia Wanchun's 100,000 troops are stationed to deter all surrounding forces.

In Nanchong County, when Hou Xuanyan said goodbye to Xia Wanchun, it was already March. After a month's absence, one swept the south of Sichuan, and the other pushed the east of Sichuan.

Hong Yixun took a secret scroll and said to Hou Xuanyan, who had just entered the city: "Big brother, there is news from Jinling. ”

Hou Xuanyan's butt was not yet hot, and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Under the guise of quelling the rebellion for the imperial court, Zheng Zhilong of Fujian sent troops to occupy Chaozhou Mansion, Huizhou Mansion, and Guangzhou Mansion in Guangdong. forced the puppet Shaowu regime to surrender the puppet Yongli, join forces, and resist Zheng Zhilong in Zhaoqing. ”

Hou Xuanyan nodded, Zheng Zhilong really moved, but his eyes were just staring at several state capitals along the coast. This sea lord also knows that his trump card is the sailor, and he is not an opponent at all in the land battle.

"We don't have the time and energy to take care of him, as long as Zhang Mingzhen and Gong Zifang develop steadily in Songjiang, and when the water division is strong, it is the time to attack Zheng Zhilong. Otherwise, cut the grass and not eradicate the roots, drive him to the sea from the land, and never think about peace along the coast again. At the beginning, the Japanese slaves were in turmoil, and they all disturbed the coastal unrest, and this guy was much stronger than the Japanese slaves. ”

Xia Wanchun said worriedly: "If Lingnan and Fujian are all in his hands, will it breed undesirable ambitions?" ”

Hou Xuanyan said with a smile: "Ganzhou is in our hands, it is like choking the throat of Fujian and Guangdong, and it can be attacked and defended. No matter how great his ability is, he can't show it. Today's top priority is to deal with the mess of Sichuan and Shu. ”

Xia Wanchun's face was full of anger: "There are too many thieves in Shu, dividing one side, harming the people, a good country of abundance, fertile fields for thousands of miles, and when the wind and rain are smooth, they make a mess." ”

Hong Yixun was halfway through speaking, but was interrupted by the two of them and interjected: "Commander, there is still a secret volume." ”

Hou Xuanyan frowned and asked, "Zheng Zhilong's chaos is expected by me, what else is going on?" ”

"King Sanshun in the Dabie Mountains, moved"

Hou Xuanyan's eyes widened, his heartbeat accelerated, and he said in a hurried tone: "Them, what's wrong?" ”

"Liu Denglou, Ren Gui, and Xie Rude are in Henan anyway, and sent someone to contact Yang Yinxi in Xiangyang. After hearing this, Du Yinxi was overjoyed and swore in Xiangyang to join the Northern Expedition. As soon as the army crossed Xinye, they met Kong Youde, who quietly withdrew his troops. The two sides retreated from the first battle, and now they are deadlocked in Nanyang Province. ”

Hou Xuanyan looked happy and asked, "Did the Manchus send troops?" ”

Hong Yixun flipped through the dense scroll and said, "Jierharang led the Manchu and Han armies and has already gone south. ”

Hou Xuanyan hurriedly said: "Is there a map of the Henan Political Division?" ”

Xia Wanchun flipped through the big tent for a while before finding the map from the bottom of the box and laying it on the table.

Hou Xuanyan laughed heartily and said: "The Central Plains often have anyway, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty is unpopular." If Nanyang is in hand, across this small river is Luoyang. No, I want to return to Jinling, on the one hand, to build momentum from the east to attract Qing troops for blocking Yinxi; In addition, it is necessary to accumulate money and food, build weapons, and prepare for the Northern Expedition. Brother Duan, Sichuan and Shu have been handed over to you, and now the situation is okay, and when you come out of Shu, I will guarantee you to be the general of Pingxi. ”

Xia Wanchun thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Commander, the Henan Righteous Army is just a small force, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty sends troops, it can be peaceful." If it is because of this, it is too hasty to go on the Northern Expedition. You must know that our rear is not stable, and if you are not careful, you will lose all the games. ”

Hou Xuanyan nodded, paced and said, "What you said also makes sense, but since the righteous army is asking for help, it can't help but respond." This is a good job of plugging Yinxi, even I will do the same.

Now the Manchu Qing Dynasty is full of pride, and the Manchus in the government and the opposition think very highly of themselves and bully the Hanchen. The Qing court was heavy on the Han and the old people in Liaodong were attached to the general army after entering the customs. You must know that it is these general soldiers who are expanding the territory for the Manchurians, how can they have no complaints.

In addition, the longer these people surrendered, the clearer it became that the Manchurians were not as godly as they boasted, and the combat power of the Eight Banners was quite limited. If it weren't for the Liao people's self-respect, there would be no current situation. I predict that in the near future, a wave of anti-Qing will inevitably be set off in the north, and that will be the best time for the Northern Expedition. ”

After listening to this, Xia Wanchun nodded frequently, he didn't know that Hou Xuanyan was a person who had read history books, and he sincerely admired: "What the commander said was like seeing fog through the clouds, which made me pause." In this case, the commander should return to Jinling with peace of mind to prepare for the Northern Expedition. ”

"I have appointed Yang Zhan as the governor of Sichuan, and you have cooperated with him in many ways. This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so if you manage it well, the Northern Expedition will be a sharp arrow in the coming days. ”

Xia Wanchun bowed his head and said: "Baoning Mansion, Taiping Festival, and Kunzhou Mansion are all in the hands of the enemy, if you use soldiers to sweep away the internal troubles first, or do you want to eliminate the enemy in the pioneers?" ”

Along the way, Hou Xuanyan has been well aware of the dangers of warlord secession, and he insisted: "If you don't settle the secession in Sichuan, you can't save the situation in Sichuan and Shu." What we want is a self-reliant land of abundance, not a broken pot that we need to mend and remedy. ”

Xia Wanchun commanded: "Understood." When does the Governor plan to return to Nanjing? ”

Hou Xuanyan picked up the horsewhip on the table, straightened his clothes and armor, and said casually: "Set off today." ”

The generals had long known his temperament, and the decision could not be delayed for a quarter of an hour, so they followed him one after another and sent him out of the Chinese army camp.

Hu Bawan and Zhang Yichuan were resting on the big tree in front of the camp with a few personal soldiers. The continuous rush made this Shandong big man a little overwhelmed. After standing for a long time, you have to rest against the big tree.

"Such a big tree is very tall in your south, but in our Shandong, this is a small sapling." Hu Bawan's authentic Dengzhou dialect has been deviated, always with some Jiangsu and Zhejiang accents.

A group of pro-soldiers looked at him unconsciously, wiped the tip of his nose with a tube, and said stupidly: "The big trees you have there are not allowed to go to the Tianshan Mountain?" In this case, if the cow wants to eat the leaves, it will have to fly in the sky? ”

Hu Bawan slapped him on the shoulder and scolded with a smile: "If you don't say that you southerners are cunning, you almost took me to the ditch." ”

The pro-soldiers laughed, Hu Bawan didn't care, and was proud.

Zhang Yiguan said with a little envy: "Brother Bawan, I heard from the commander that I want to promote you to General Zuo." You're all right, don't forget the brothers who broke their legs together in the future. ”

As soon as Hu Bawan wanted to answer, he saw Hou Xuanyan coming out in a cluster, and the soldiers who were fighting looked bitter, Hu Bawan frowned and said: "Bitter, I have rested for less than an hour, and this time I have to travel far again." ”
