The Huaxia army pursued, Ao Bai fled, and Zhang Qiang immediately followed closely behind with the 1st Brigade of the Guards Brigade.

He also got a more detailed report from Guilin Mansion, and he had expected Kong Youde's suicide, which is what he did in history, Li Dingguo was his nemesis, as if he ran a military flag watch after running a very prosperous Manchu court drama, I don't know if she will be as beautiful as written in the book in history, if she can be caught.

Forget it, Zhang Qiang shook his head, what if he was caught?

I was born without a woman, and I don't deal with women, and other traversers are a large part of the harem, either a high-end table, or a high-level courtesan, or those beautiful emperors' harems in history, the minister's daughter, and I am glad to have contacted one, but I have a conflict with myself, although I am not small, but I am really a child from a kindergarten, I don't know anything.

Finding a woman is a big trouble for those who are competing for hegemony.

Aobai's escape was also a big trouble for Hong Chengchou, but Aobai was in a hurry for 500 miles, and when more than a dozen horses were killed on the fifth day to send the news to Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou was immediately frightened and speechless for a long time.

There are no more than 100,000 troops, why is this Huaxia army so demonic.

What's even more painful is that the news of Guilin Mansion also arrived in Yangzhou Mansion with Aobai's messenger, Hong Chengchou was in pain, he knew it earlier, he knew it earlier, he shouldn't have sent so many soldiers to Guilin Mansion, he shouldn't have let Aobai go to Huguang if he knew it earlier, I was guarding a Yangtze River defense line, how to say that it was also a million army, the Huaxia Army wanted to fight over, and it was impossible to win without hitting the head and breaking the bloodstream.

Maybe the Qing army can fight with the Huaxia army and the Southern Ming army to rule the river, now there are only 23 Qing troops in his hands, and Hong Chengchou, who has more than 100,000 Qing troops, is dumbfounded.

The Huaxia Army had 23 field brigades, and according to his constant reconnaissance, one field brigade had 7,800 troops and a cavalry brigade had 6,000 troops, but there were only three cavalry brigades.

And on his side, the Qing army in a town has 12,000 people, and there were originally 26 towns, but now one is transferred here, two are transferred there, and four are transferred to the Beijing Division.

But now he found that he had unconsciously weakened his own forces, judging from the several battles with the Huaxia army in which he personally participated, the Qing army could not guarantee victory with the Huaxia army even if it had these towns, and he still relied on the hundreds of thousands of elite Qing troops, and now, hundreds of thousands of elite Qing troops were dismantled and sent to various places, and finally even 30,000 Qing troops plus 50,000 Qing troops from Ao Bai were sent away, and he no longer had the confidence to fight another battle with the Huaxia army.

He was hesitating, and Feng Quan, who rushed back, also looked like a dead man, not knowing how to win this war, how to explain to the imperial court, and had been operating the defense line for a year and a half, and it was in danger.

After a while, Feng Quan raised his head, his eyes were bright, and he arched his hand and said: "My lord, don't worry, think about how the Huaxia Army is guarding against us under the city of Raozhou Mansion, let's just how to guard against the Huaxia Army, according to the several wars of the Huaxia Army known to the lower officials, they are not good at using cannon fodder troops to impact the enemy, they must go into battle in person, their army is generally less than ours, we can have countless soldiers to let them kill, let them catch, they have nothing to do with us." ”

"So what?"

Hong Chengchou asked coldly, staring at Feng Quan and said: "As the Qing Dynasty gradually clears the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, there are fewer and fewer old and young people in the Ming Dynasty, at this moment, the northern places are stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, many people are rushing to take the imperial examination of the Qing Dynasty, and recognize the Qing Dynasty as a country, and the possibility of us sending cannon fodder to battle in the future is getting smaller and smaller, and the imperial court will also take care of the safety of the common people and their own prestige, after all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has a population of only four or five million, and the pure Manchus are only about one million, and the others are Han people who became Manchus after raising the flag, If they don't take into account some of their own reputations, soon the rebel army in a large area of land north of the Yangtze River will emerge one after another, and at that time, the Qing Dynasty will not be far from extinction. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed with his hands behind his back, "We have surrendered to the Manchus for too long, and we have long been regarded as traitors by the Han people, do you think it is possible for us to get off the ship of the Manchus, and then join the court established by the Han people?" It would be nice if they didn't sacrifice our heads to our ancestors. ”

"Then what to do, looking at it, the Huaxia Army seems to be able to at least achieve the goal of dividing the river with the Qing Dynasty, they captured Huguang, then we will expose a loophole in the Yangtze River, the Huaxia Army can attack Hubei from Huguang at any time without forcing it, our back will be exposed, it is impossible to send troops, and our troops here are not enough."

Hong Chengchou sighed, "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, Huguang is not so easy to take, where has been managed by us to have some foundation, send people to incite those officials and gentry who are loyal to the Qing Dynasty, to make trouble, to fight, let the Huaxia army fall into the vast sea of the people of our Great Qing Dynasty, Guangxi Prefecture has not been run by Kong Youde for a long time?"

also send people to contact, avenge Kong Youde, and serve the Qing Dynasty, Nanmingguo, as an ally supported by the Huaxia Army, can't let them have a good time, so that a lot of energy of the Huaxia Army can be contained, and then we will organize regimental training and Xiangyong in those places that are not occupied by the Huaxia Army, and send some Han Army banner generals to lead the troops in the past, so that they can fight city by city, and Aobai, let him take his soldiers and horses to entangle with the Huaxia Army in Huguang, how much can delay some time, Give us more time to deploy troops to guard against the Huaxia Army. ”

Feng Quan laughed, "My lord, haven't you forgotten, what the lower officials wanted to remind you just now is that the Huaxia Army's strategy of containing our army's hundreds of thousands of troops under the Raozhou Mansion can also be done in accordance with the law, maybe the effect is not as good as the Huaxia Army, but in this way, the Huaxia Army will also have a headache, one city after another, even if he is given another ten years, he will not be able to finish the battle." ”

Hong Chengchou patted his head, "Yes, this is also the original intention of the old man to establish the Yangtze River defense line the year before last, why did he forget this, Lord Feng reminded right, let's run Anhui Prefecture, Suzhou, and Hubei like iron buckets, the Huaxia army arrives here, it definitely needs a city, a city to fight over, although the losses must be great, but the Huaxia army is not iron, it does not have unlimited ammunition and troops, and their troops are not 500,000 troops when they are full, and they need to defend a place. There will not be so many troops in the next place, and when the time comes, the more you fight, the fewer you fight, and you will definitely not have the advantage of our army......"

"Yes, just do it, although the method is a little stupid, but it is also a good way."
