The town is rugged and far away, and the distant mountains are deep in the saddle. Cuihuan water is surrounded by turns, frozen and frozen overnight.

Xianxia Ridge has five steps and one bay, three steps and one rock, there are mountains in the mountains, and the cliffs are thousands of layers. The only ancient road is still rebuilt in the eight years of the Great Song Dynasty, with twists and turns, 24 twists and turns, and 360 levels of history. The four Xianxia passes in the north and south of the peak are built at the pass of the steep walls of the two mountains, just like a section of the Great Wall, three or four meters high, two or three meters wide, and the wall is five meters thick. There are two stone gates in the middle of the dangerous pass, in case of hostile situation, one stone gate, it is difficult to fly with wings.

Therefore, it is called "southeast key" and also called "throat of Fujian", which is the strategic value of this pass. To the north is the entrance of Zhejiang, and to the south is the throat of Fujian, which is now firmly in the hands of Zhejiang soldiers.

The defenders on the pass were a branch of Zhejiang soldiers led by Sun Jiaji, with a total of only 5,000 people, and above this Xiongguan, it was enough to reach 100,000 troops. After the first level, there are still four passes behind, each of which is a ghost gate for the attacker.

When Hou Xuanyan arrived here, Li Chengdong, who intended to sneak attack, had already broken his halberd three times under Xianxia Pass, and a Xianxia Pass that was ready to defend against the enemy was by no means something that 50,000 Fujian soldiers could defeat. Intelligence is the best partner to win, I know what you're going to do before you make a move, and what you're going to fight with me. Hou Xuanyan invested a lot of material, financial, and manpower to build the latent camp, and it has played its unparalleled role more than once.

When the news came that Li Chengdong was going to send troops, everyone knew without thinking that he was going to enter Zhejiang from Xianxia Pass, just because he had to go through Xianxia Pass. Otherwise, this pass is controlled by Hou Xuanyan, and he can invade Fujian from this place at any time. Don't look at Zheng Zhilong's success in Liangguang, if Fujian loses him, he will be completely beaten back to his original form.

On the ancient road in front of the mountain, a group of people dismounted and hiked up the mountain, and the pass of Qingshi Lei was not very high, but it was very thick. The walls closed were battle-hardened, mottled with dark red from rusty weapons, and the arched aisles could only pass two people side by side at a time, even if an enemy charged here, two people at a time passed, and it was not for anyone to slaughter. Hou Xuanyan walked in it, and he had a somewhat eerie feeling, especially the moss on the ground made the soles of his feet slippery, and he had to walk carefully.

The general soldiers of various provinces in Zhejiang have led troops to arrive, and the Wenzhou Mansion and the Prefecture Mansion, which are relatively close, are even earlier than Hou Xuan's Qian Sule.

Hou Xuanyan walked towards the pass, there were all kinds of rolling stones and sassalwoods everywhere, and the spiral-shaped mountain road climbed the stairs before reaching the final command post. A small hut made of wood and stone, which has been paved, has a table in the middle, with maps of various parts of Fujian, this is Sun Jiaji's room, Hou Xuanyan stepped forward and flipped through the map, each one has deep folds, at first glance, it is often tossed, and he is very satisfied after seeing it, and asked: "What about Sun Jiaji?" ”

"General Sun has gone to the second level of Ganquan in front, where the arrow tower is being built." A young general in the garrison bowed.

Hou Xuanyan turned back to Qian Sule and smiled: "What kind of arrow tower to build, the battlefield of our trip is in Fujian, not Zhejiang, Li Chengdong's dog thief wants to enter the customs, it is a fool's dream." For his sake, I stopped the third-line Northern Expedition, and if I didn't get rid of Zheng Zhilong as soon as possible and recover Fujian, I would be sorry for the Huozi Battalion that withdrew from Shandong to Huai'an. "Li Chengdong is menacing, coupled with Zheng Zhilong's slight advantage in Liangguang, and the southwest toasts are making trouble, all of which magnify Zheng Zhilong's harm. In fact, what he really threatened Hou Xuanyan was not on land at all. The Zheng family's sailors blocked the sea and made shipping impossible, and the loss of commercial taxes was the main reason why Hou Xuanyan decided to solve him first. Without money, no matter how powerful the soldiers of other fronts are, it is difficult to persevere, unless they are like the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Qian Sule leaned on a stick and chuckled: "Having said that, Sun Jiaji is also taking precautions and making all preparations. The better we build here, the more we will have to worry about entering Fujian. And the soldiers and horses of the two Zhejiang are here, our hearts are already empty, if one of the enemies on all sides breaks through the battle line, it is a long drive into the realm of no one. ”

Hou Xuanyan said from the bottom of his heart that these generals in Nanming had lost too much, so that they had developed a good habit of thinking about defeat before they thought about victory. This is a good thing in the long run. Qian Sule saw that he didn't speak, and thought that Hou Xuanyan really listened to people's persuasion, and it was difficult to hide a smile between his eyebrows: Well, the young man's good temper is the most important thing, and the little Hou Guogong is good.

In this way, Hou Xuanyan lived on this Xiongguan, and Zhejiang soldiers and horses gathered.

-----

Pucheng, Fujian, in the camp of the Zheng family's army.

Li Chengdong was surrounded by his henchmen, the soldiers and horses he brought from Jiading and Taicang, and Zheng Zhilong did not install any of his cronies, for fear of restricting the strength of this general. Zheng Zhilong's most trusted general at the moment is Li Chengdong, and for a pirate, trust is based on interests. Hou Xuan's performance is big, and even if he is his own son in the face of his Northern Expeditionary Army, he may betray him. But Li Chengdong won't, everyone knows that Li Chengdong is the one who is most unlikely to surrender. Hou Xuanyan's whole family and even the whole city died in his hands, although the three massacres in Jiading were only slaughtered once, they were already "one hundred people". This is the greatest hatred in the world, and there is no room for moderation. Hou Xuanyan is not a person who repays grievances with virtue, everything he does is to declare to the world: Lao Tzu will take revenge if he has revenge.

At the beginning, Li Chengdong defected to Zheng Zhilong from Songjiang Mansion in order to escape from Hou Xuanyan, and after he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he went all the way south, and the hundreds of ships he looted could not fit in the gold and silver treasures, so his life was not good at all during this time. But the life of a drunken gold fan does not give him a sense of security, and his life-and-death rival, Hou Xuanyan of Jiading City, is becoming more and more powerful.

When he first arrived in Fujian, Li Chengdong was very scared, he was afraid that Zheng Zhilong would use him as a bargaining chip and hand it over to Hou Xuanyan in exchange for benefits. Zheng Zhilong did have this idea, and for a while, Li Chengdong's every move was under the supervision of layers of people. Until one day, Hou Xuanyan broke into Fuzhou and rescued the puppet Emperor Longwu in Zheng Zhilong's hands, and Li Chengdong's treatment also changed abruptly. Not to mention that he became Zheng Zhilong's guest, he was able to join the army as a general.

Li Chengdong has a square face and a wide mouth, a burly figure, and a standard Guanzhong man. When he spoke, his voice was loud and loud. Moreover, he will be rewarded for his merits, punished for his mistakes, and his prestige in the army is also very high, as a general, he is qualified.

At this moment, Li Chengdong's face was very ugly, he marched from Fuzhou overnight, day and night, thinking that the sneak attack on Xianxia Pass was foolproof. Who knew that the news leaked in advance, and Sun Jiaji appeared in Xianxialing in person, indicating that they had already prepared.

"Damn, there must be a ghost in our army, don't let me find out, otherwise I will tear him apart and feed him to the dogs." and that Hou Xuan's child, we didn't work cleanly at the beginning, so he escaped by luck, and he didn't want to raise such a big scourge. As soon as Lao Tzu came out of the mountain, he ran over from Huai'an, which made it clear that he wanted to share the sky with me. ”

Chen Jia next to him is his confidant, and Hou Tongzeng's head was cut off by his own hands. The Chen family glanced at Li Chengdong and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, then Hou Xuanyan was killed by us, and the women in his hometown were all played to death by the brothers, how can they not hate us." As he said, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and he knew that it was our brother in front of him, and he would definitely lose his square inch.

What kind of ability that kid can have, it's just that Gu Youde's old dogs in Suzhou raised him with money. The gentry of Suzhou are rich, and those white flowers and silver are thrown, even a pig can take advantage of the situation. In the final analysis, Tu Guobao is too stupid, and before he has a firm foothold in Suzhou, he has to do something to the Gu family. annoyed Gu Youde, so he supported a Hou Xuan to perform, otherwise how could there be such a thing as Jiading remnants. ”

These people have been in Fujian for a long time, and although Hou Xuanyan's achievements have been heard, he thinks that the opponents he has encountered are not good. If the people of Jiading were really so powerful, why would they have been killed by their own 5,000 men and horses in the first place.

Li Chengdong's expression softened slightly, whether he believes it or not, people always like to listen to good words. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, most of the characters like him were born as thieves, Li Chengdong was originally the follower of Gao Jie, a general under Li Zicheng, Gao Jie is good at everything, but he can't control his belt. He took advantage of Li Zicheng's war on the front line, and actually hooked up with Li Zicheng's wife, and put a green crown on King Chuang. After the incident, Gao Jie was afraid of Li Zicheng's revenge, so he had to defect to Daming. Li Chengdong also became a military general of the Ming Dynasty.

After the Jiashen national disaster, the four feudal towns in Jiangbei supported the succession of King Xiaofu, and was promoted to the title in vain, which opened the curtain of the Manchu Qing and Dashun in the north fighting hotly, and the warlords in the south fighting each other and killing each other. Gao Jie was one of the four feudatories, and when the Manchu Qing and Li Zi decided the victory and defeat, and led the troops to the south of the Yangtze River, Li Chengdong became the vanguard of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Li Chengdong, who has long been eyed in the flower world in the south of the Yangtze River, completely lost the shackles of the collar after becoming an alien eagle dog. The mad dog burned and killed the prostitution in the south of the Yangtze River, satisfying his animal desires at the same time, and made great contributions to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's siege of the city.

"Even if Hou Xuanyan is not worthy of his name, but there are really many people under him, it is not a joke. It's a pity that this kid is too arrogant, fighting on all sides, I haven't seen such an arrogant person have a good end. ”

Li Chengdong nodded and said: "That's right, although his territory is rich, the soldiers and horses are all southerners, and the southerners are weak and cowardly, so they can't help fighting at all." Now he is relying on a large number of people, fighting in the southeast and northwest, causing the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people, and the powerful of the four sides attack him together. Hehe, I think this rich land in Jiangnan has no fate with him Hou Xuanyan, but our brothers can still go to have fun. ”

Li Chengdong's subordinates in the room laughed, and amid laughter, an optimistic air filled the entire barracks.
