Zhang Wenxiu's face was cloudy, and Zhang Xianzhong's temperament was well known to everyone in the Western Dynasty.

But Zhang Xianzhong doesn't want to be an emperor, it doesn't mean that his subordinates don't want to be princes. Once Zhang Xianzhong abdicated and surrendered, they would naturally have to be demoted by seven or eight levels in a row. Although Zhang Wenxiu has always wanted to emphasize that the two armies are united against the Qing Dynasty as an alliance, Hou Xuan's speech and demeanor have already tacitly acquiesced that they are recruiting An.

Hou Xuanyan used Zhang Wenxiu as a microphone, and didn't want to negotiate with him more, but just asked him to tell Zhang Xianzhong that if there was a war in the near future, let him attack Hanzhong. Drag one and count one, most of the Manchu Qing troops are in Jingxiang, and if you come again, you will really be unable to bear it.

It was getting late, Hou Xuanyan left him in the tent with a smile and had dinner, and then sent someone to send Zhang Wenxiu and his entourage to Jingzhou City. A pegasus came out of Jingzhou and returned to the CD like Zhang Xianzhong to ask for instructions and report the news.

Hou Xuanyan looked at him and stopped, and said with a smile: "Lord Du, it's not early, why don't you go to sleep and stay in my tent?" ”

Du Yinxi smiled bitterly and said: "Don't laugh at the commander, you are going to give up Jingzhou, I can still sleep." ”

Hou Xuanyan stood up, walked to the sand table, picked up a wooden stick, pointed to the sand table and said, "Old block, come and see." We are now holding each other with the Qing soldiers in Jingzhou, although there are continuous small battles, but if we want a decisive battle, one side must cross the river first. Jing Xiang has been trapped by the enemy for a long time, and we all know that the Wuyue defense line is arranged, how can Wu Sangui not act on the other side. If we fight a decisive battle on the other side, we will lose ground first. Moreover, the fish and dragons on the other side are mixed, and the loyal and righteous people have long escaped the South case, and the rest are traitors except for the honest people. And once they crossed the river, they were enemies everywhere, especially Changsha Province, and my Hunan army had been practicing for several months, and these people were already familiar with the mountains and rivers here. Speaking of this, Hou Xuanyan poked the Changsha Mansion on the sand table hard, and said: "In this decisive battle, we will take advantage of the geographical advantage!" ”

Du Yinxi's eyes were blazing, and the torches burning in the tent shone his shadow. After listening to Hou Xuanyan's words, he fell into silence, and Hou Xuanyan did not interrupt him, waiting patiently. After a long time like this, Du Yinxi opened his mouth and said: "Commander, if we are defeated, we will be equivalent to giving the entire river and water to others." Since then, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Liangguang have a smooth road. Who in the world can resist the iron cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. ”

Hou Xuanyan's face sank, and he said: "What should you be, this is a decisive battle!" Rather than fearing the loss of land and the fall of the people, it is better to fight to the death. ”

Du Yinxi was in a complicated mood, and tangled hesitation filled his chest, this kind of decisive battle was more like a big gamble. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Commander, Zhu Dadian has recovered Yangzhou, and we have also hit Jingzhou." It's better to figure it out slowly, maybe it's more appropriate. ”

Hou Xuanyan sneered and said, "Old block, why don't I want to take it slowly? It's a pity that time is not on our side. After the fall of the Central Plains, it has been nearly a year now. The Qing court blindly adopted the tactics of wooing, and there were already many Han Chinese, who had shaved their braids and were willing to drive for them. Give them some more time, and what we will face is ten Wu Sangui, twenty Wu Sangui, or even a hundred Wu Sangui. If you are familiar with history books, you should know that whether it is Meng Yuan or Hou Jin, the most capable of fighting on the southern expedition are the Han soldiers under them. ”

Du Yinxi nodded, he knew that Hou Xuan's speech was right, when Kublai Khan fought the Southern Song Dynasty, most of the troops were Han. And these people are extremely powerful, Kublai Khan and Ali Buge competed for the throne of Khan, Ali Buge mastered the Mongol armies, but was beaten by the Kublai Khan's army, which was dominated by Han Chinese, and lost his armor and had to surrender. You must know that the Mongolian army at that time swept all the way to the European continent. Kublai Khan had this capital because he occupied Youyan and the Central Plains.

Now that the Manchus also occupy these places, it is not difficult to imagine that in time they will have such an army ...

A light snow drifted outside the tent, and with the cold north wind, it blew into the tent. The guards came in and put the torches in the tent on them, and said to the two, "Commander, it's snowing outside, do you want to close the door of the tent?" ”

Hou Xuanyan said: "It's okay. ”

The guards turned around and went out, and Hou Xuanyan said to Du Yinxi: "I have made up my mind, and I will fight a decisive battle in the near future." ”

Du Yinxi stared at the flash disk and made a difficult choice: "Commander, can you win?" ”

Hou Xuanyan said quietly: "When I was young, someone in our hometown told me such a story. Someone tried to boil a frog and put it in a pot of hot water, and the frog jumped desperately and fled. The man caught another frog, put it in cold water, and slowly heated it over a fire. The frog was greedy for comfort, refused to work hard, and was slowly cooked.

Our Daming is the frog now, and if we fight, we will have a fifty percent chance of winning, and if we don't fight, we will be eaten whole sooner or later. ”

Du Yinxi's whole person became hideous, kicked the sand table over, and said, "Fight!" Turning the world upside down, playing a new look. ”

"Haha..."Hou Xuanyan looked at him, and suddenly laughed, the major affairs of the family and the country are more important than Mount Tai, and they can't escape the vast heavenly way. It's impassioned to say, but in fact, the inner truth is the same as a gambler's end of the road and gambling all his net worth.

Perhaps above the vast nine heavens, in the eyes of the lofty gods, the righteous feats of their own people are just a few red-eyed gamblers.

Hou Xuanyan walked out of the big tent and sent Du Yinxi out until his back disappeared into the camp.

Looking up at the dark sky, countless snowflakes fell from above. Hou Xuanyan twitched the corners of his mouth and scolded: "Under your mother 1, you arranged for the Manchu Qing Dynasty to enter the Central Plains, and Lao Tzu wants to drive them out." ”

The guards next to him shivered, one point was frozen, and nine points were frightened.
