After Wang Yan understood He Tengjiao's talented and narrow-minded nature, he knew that he must not be allowed to control the overall situation of Huguang's resistance to the Qing Dynasty, otherwise Chu Di would become the next Jiangbei.

Wang Yan originally came to ask He Tengjiao to send troops to recapture Yuezhou, send men and horses to meet the blockade of Yinxi, and reorganize the defense line, but at this time he had the intention of seizing the power of Chu.

At that time, Shi Kefa had the opportunity to master all the troops of Gao Jie's army, but he did not listen to Wang Yan's words, but humiliated the rest of Gao Jie's army, which made the Qing army go south, and Xuzhou Town was the first to surrender to the Qing court.

Wang Yan always recalled the beginning, when he felt that Shi Gebu cherished his reputation too much and was too pedantic, he also felt that he was too indecisive and had too many scruples.

At this time, Wang Yan faced He Tengjiao, and a cold light couldn't help flashing in his eyes, but he quickly calmed himself down, although he already had the heart to seize power, but not now.

Now it is the time when the soldiers are approaching the city, and he only has 4,000 soldiers and horses, and he can't take over the power of Chu at all, if he wants to replace He Tengjiao, he has to establish prestige in Chu first.

Now the easiest way to gain prestige is to take the troops and horses of Chu to defeat the Qing court Belle Kedehun who rushed to Hubei to support, and occupy Wuchang City.

At this time, Wang Yan had already sorted out his thoughts, he broke into the mansion overnight, in order to let He Tengjiao send troops, not to argue with him, so he ignored He Tengjiao's words, but pushed away the guards of the Governor's Mansion who were blocking him, stepped forward and adjusted his tone and said: "Governor He misunderstood, I have no intention of seizing power, I am just worried about the situation in Chudi." Governor He did not fight with the Qing soldiers, but I had many dealings with the Qing soldiers, and I knew the Qing soldiers' combat power quite well. When I was in Shandong, I saw the power of the Qing cavalry several times. Every time I and a few leaders of the rebel army thought that we had fled far enough and were safe enough, the Qing cavalry would always suddenly attack, and then the rebels would flee all over the mountains. The cavalry of the Qing army can run for more than 170 miles in a day, and at such a speed, if Luck Dehun really wants to take Changsha, he will never let Governor He lead his troops back to Changsha smoothly, so his intention can only be to raid and block the governor's back road, and even directly attack Jingzhou from the side. ”

He Tengjiao saw Wang Yan's slow tone, and his voice was very sincere, his heart couldn't help but tremble, he had to admit that Wang Yan's analysis was very likely, but he still couldn't admit his mistake, "Chu Guogong's thoughts, this governor already knows, but Chu Guogong also has to believe in the ability to block the governor, he has 300,000 soldiers and horses, how can he easily fail." Chu Guogong doesn't have to be anxious, it's getting late today, let's discuss it tomorrow, how about it? A few of you, hurry up and send the Duke of Chu and Governor Zhang back to rest. ”

He Tengjiao's attitude towards Plug Yinxi is more complicated, he hopes that Plug Yinxi can defeat the Qing army, but he also doesn't want Plug Yinxi's power to be too strong.

Plugging Yinxi wins, He Tengjiao, as the governor of Huguang, naturally wants to occupy the first credit, Plugging Yinxi lost the army and losing the general, He Tengjiao is not distressed, after all, the men and horses under Plug Yinxi are the remnants of the army that he squeezed out, so even if Wang Yan's analysis is correct, He Tengjiao does not want to take action immediately, but hopes that after Plug Yinxi and the Qing soldiers are both defeated, he will come to collect the merits of the war.

When Wang Yan heard this, he immediately frowned, and he pushed away the guards who surrounded him again, refusing to leave the mansion now.

At this time, he had already made up his mind, if He Tengjiao did not make a decision tonight, he would not give up, so he reminded in a cold voice: "Governor He, as the saying goes, the soldiers are fast, and your army retreats to Changsha, and the governor and Li Guo still think that you are in Yuezhou and will not have to worry about the east, but the fact is that in their east, there are no warships to guard the Yangtze River waterway, and there are no soldiers and horses to guard the land danger. Since the Qing army went south, our Ming Dynasty has almost no victories to speak of, and the morale of the army has fallen to the bottom. ”

He Tengjiao didn't expect Wang Yan to be so resolute, and his words did make sense, for a while, he couldn't help but hesitate a little, "This~This~"

Zhang Kuang is He Tengjiao's confidant, and he was promoted to the position of governor of Hubei step by step, which can be said to be the grace of knowledge, so after Zhang Kuang was dragged into the mansion by Wang Yan, he never spoke, but at this time he couldn't help but salute He Tengjiao and said: "Supervisor, if the governor is defeated and the Qing army takes advantage of the situation to go down to Hunan, can the supervisor stop the Qing army?" ”

When He Tengjiao heard this, the whole person suddenly fell into silence, but at this moment, an official stumbled into the house, he saw He Tengjiao and Zhang Kuang standing outside the house, and immediately ran over and said: "Supervisor, too servant, the big thing is not good, Le Kedehun took advantage of Li Guo's concentration of troops to attack Jingzhou, divided his troops into two ways and rushed straight to Li Guo's camp, Li Guo was caught off guard, was defeated, and retreated westward. ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he was immediately shocked, and He Tengjiao and Zhang Kuang also looked at each other.

It turned out that after He Tengjiao retreated without a fight, the Qing army drove straight into and occupied Shishou County on the eighth day of the first month, and then found out that Li Guo's main force was besieging Jingzhou, but the logistics were divided into the south bank of the Yangtze River.

On the tenth day of the first month, Du Yinxi and Li Guo thought that there were Tengjiao's troops in the east, so they were defenseless and still attacked the city with all their might, but they were suddenly attacked by Luck Dehun, and the whole army was immediately defeated.

The Shun army defenders on the south bank did not expect that the Qing soldiers would suddenly appear, and all the materials were captured by the Qing army.

Governor Du Yinxi led the soldiers and horses to retreat to the Changde area, but under the pursuit of the Qing soldiers, Du Yinxi fell off his horse and broke an arm, and he was extremely sad and angry in his heart, and he had vomited blood and fainted, and could not take charge of affairs.

In addition, Li Zicheng's third brother Li Zi, the former Dashun Cihou Tian Jianxiu, the Yihou Zhang Ding, Wuyang Bo****, and Taiping Bo Wu Ruyi, because they had no time to retreat, led more than 5,000 people to surrender to the Qing army at Yilingkou.

After this battle, Li Guozhi's army was greatly injured and was forced to retreat into the barren mountainous area at the junction of Sichuan and Hubei, and Changde, the gateway to northern Hunan was also occupied by the Qing army, and the door of Hunan was wide open, and the Qing army could go straight to Changsha at any time.

After listening to the official's story, Wang Yan suddenly felt resentful in his heart, and the good situation was ruined in one fell swoop, he really wanted to cry without tears, and his heart was cold.

After He Tengjiao listened, his face was also pale, and after several inquiries, he believed that the nearly 300,000 Shun army had really been defeated, and the defeat was extremely miserable.

He had the intention of using the Qing army to consume Li Guo, but he didn't want to let Li Guo lose so badly, he thought that the 300,000 Shun army, even if it failed, it would not be bad, but he didn't think that since the Qing army entered the customs, the Shun army was chased and killed all the way, and never won a battle at all, and he was extremely afraid of the Qing soldiers, and after the Shun army retreated into Hunan, he did not replenish them with grain and grass materials to help them recover their combat strength. How could such a Shun army be able to defeat the Qing soldiers who attacked suddenly.

He Tengjiao never expected that the result after he withdrew his troops without authorization was that the Battle of Jingzhou collapsed on all fronts, and the Qing troops entered Changde directly.
