Ma Deli's efforts finally paid off, he ran to Ma Degong's mansion early, and said to Ma Degong: "Big brother, I contacted a Western Regions fanzi named Dierit, a Mongolian cavalry in his charge is ready to be loyal to you and me, I told him about the current situation, and he also felt that he couldn't block Kong Youde's guns here, and agreed to follow us."

When the time comes, we will have 30,000 soldiers and horses, and then some young people in the city, about 3,000 people, plus 5,000 Mongolian soldiers in Dirkit, it is impossible to resist the army of the Southern Ming Kingdom, but once we enter Huguang, He Tengjiao's Ming army who are afraid of death will not be able to stop us, and the loyal battalion of Li Guo of Dashun will be able to fight with us. ”

Ma Degong's shrewd little eyes rolled slightly, and he asked, "Is this person reliable?" ”

Ma Deli said: "Of course it's unreliable, this person has a face of return, he used to be a thief in the Western Regions, and then because he would come to something, he became a slave of Mongolia after being captured by the Mongols, and then he was somehow favored by a daughter of a Mongolian Taiwan, and became a fast son-in-law of Chenglong, and he took the opportunity to annex his father-in-law's tribe."

When he was attacked by the Tubert Mongol tribes, he took refuge in the people, because of his bravery, he was promoted to a big platform, and later the Tubert Mongols were beaten by the Chahar Mongols, and he fled to the Khalkha Mongols after fleeing into the steppe.

This time was sent by the Qing army to assist Kong Youde to exterminate the Yongli Southern Ming, but in the end Kong Youde was defeated under the attack of the Huaxia army, and after returning to reorganize the army, he was also very fond of him, and allocated him two thousand Han people to coat the minions, and promoted him to the banner man, and now he also has something to do with the full flag soldiers, it can be said that this person does things no matter how good or not, there are some means.

With all his heart and mind, I see that he still has a kind of cold and vicious spirit of the people of the Western Regions in his bones, and he is a good seedling to be a substitute for the dead. ”

Ma Degong looked up and asked his younger brother Ma Deli, "What do you mean?" ”

Ma Deli said: "Of course we can't leave right away, we have to go when we can't support it, when the time comes, let's put them behind us, let them block the Nanming Army for us, and delay the news of the Nanming Army for a few hours, let's go first, when he wants to escape, don't you have to work hard, when the time comes, if you don't die, you have to shed your skin, and lose the soldiers and horses, is he dead or alive, and we can't handle it?" When the time comes, we will receive his Mongolian soldiers for a few days, don't we have thousands of cavalry in our hands? ”

Ma Degong smiled and touched his beard and said: "Yes, yes, how can he play with us Han people, Yin him." If he can bring all the 10,000 troops of the Manchu generals, then it will be even better for us. By the way, what will happen to Kong Youde's family after he leaves? Kong Youxing didn't tell you? ”

"I heard that they also asked for reinforcements from Hong Chengchou, and I must have felt that with reinforcements, they are impregnable there, and they don't need to take their families away. After all, this is his lair, he can't go, he doesn't want to go, maybe he will have to return here after he can't move. Ma Deli replied to his brother's words.

"He's so confident? The Ming army can't hit his lair? Ma Degong asked strangely.

Ma Deli said: "It is possible that he is ready to transfer his family, but he didn't say it in front of me, but I heard a news, the governor surnamed Feng has asked for reinforcements from Hong Chengchou, and the new army of a town will arrive in Guilin Mansion to help defend where, and at the same time, nearly 200,000 Qing soldiers Green Battalion and Han Army Banner troops have arrived, and there is also a clan relative named Mang Gurtai who also came to aid with tens of thousands of Qing soldiers." ”

Ma Degong pondered for a long time before he sighed and said: "The court has a good idea, Kong Youde wants to make meritorious service and expand his territory, so the court follows him and sends troops into his territory, saying that it is to help defend, but in fact, he is thinking that once he loses, let these soldiers and horses take over his territory, reorganize his army, and the court will take back here, Mang Gurtai seems to be the master of this place in the future, alas——"

Ma Deli also had an expression of a dead father, he originally felt that he had earned an idiot like a ghost in the Western Regions, he was very happy, but he didn't expect Ma Degong to analyze, this foreign aid seems to be here to grab territory, this must include his own territory, there is no Kong Youde, there is also Zhang San Li Si, Zhang San Li Si is definitely not as close as Kong Youde and they cooperate with them so closely and from time to time struggle, always will not be exposed on the surface, both sides need each other, and once Mang Gurtai comes, then with the arrogant virtue of the Qing armySurely they will not have good fruit to eat.

"What shall we do?" Ma Deli asked.

Ma Degong snorted coldly, "What else can I do?" Seeing that the situation is not right, run away, leave this place to Mang Gurtai, the Huaxia army has already killed two Qing army princes, a few clan relatives, I don't care about killing another clan relative, we can't give them a burial. So how can you not be buried with you? We don't contribute to the work, let them and the Southern Ming army consume each other. ”

Ma Deli said: "Well, once they win or lose, if it is the Qing army, we will stab it in the back, if it is the Southern Ming army, we will collect the Qing army, strengthen our strength, and then go to Huguang to occupy the territory." ”

The two men looked at each other and smiled.

At this moment, someone came to report.

"Report to the eldest master, the second master, Lord Kong has come to us with the troops, the black pressure outside the city is full of soldiers and horses, and the city gate guards dare not open the city gate, let the little one come to ask the two masters, how to act?"

Ma Deli asked, "Which master is here?" ”

Jia Ding reported, "I heard that it is Master Kong, and there are 100,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Ma Degong and Ma Deli glanced at each other, and then said to Jia Ding: "You wait to settle the soldiers and horses outside the city first, tell Master Kong, and say that Ma will go to meet him immediately." ”

The two men changed their clothes, put on their armor, put on their weapons, and rode their horses to the city gate.

"Lord Wang, Ma is late to greet you, please forgive your sins." Ma Degong and Ma Deli dismounted and knelt high on the horse, riding in front of Kong Youde's war horse.

Kong Youde dismounted and greeted him with a smile, "Two virtuous brothers, there is no need to be so polite, today I led the troops through here, and I wanted to attack the Nanming Kingdom from here, it was Kong who was abrupt, I should say hello to the two of them, so as not to misunderstand, but the military situation is urgent, and Kong had to offend." ”

Ma Deli asked, "What about Second Master Kong?" ”

Kong Youde laughed, "Youxing crossed the pass with an army of 100,000 and attacked Feng Shuangli, this time, let's give Feng Shuangli a surprise attack, we can't let him take advantage of it every time." ”

Ma Degong and Ma Deli looked at each other, and the Kong family did too unauthentic, this is their territory, passing through their territory, they didn't say hello to them, and they went out from the light card they defended, it seems that the generals who defended the checkpoint should be replaced, and they dared to let outsiders out without their orders.

The two families greeted each other here, and when they recounted the old days, the attack of the Southern Ming Kingdom had been launched, and at the same time, no one knew that Kong Youxing also led an army of 100,000 troops to attack Feng Shuangli's defense of Guangxi, which belonged to the territory occupied by Feng Shuangli, and the momentum was like a bamboo, Feng Shuangli's local Ming army guard troops could not stop the attack of the Qing army at all, and they were defeated and retreated, and the messengers who asked for help did not run fast as Kong Youxing's cavalry, and they had not yet reported to Feng Shuangli, and another city had fallen over there.

When Feng Shuangli received the letter and was furious, Zhu Yujian, Su Guansheng, and Li Guangdi of Longwu Nanming also received the information, and the urgent messenger from them also ran to the military intelligence department of the Huaxia Army, and the military intelligence department then passed it on to Zhang Qiang, who was patrolling Jiangxi Prefecture.

The war between the Southern Ming Kingdom and Kong Youdebu officially began.
