Chapter 541: Chu Du was timid

Although Wuchang sent people to urge, He Tengjiao's men were still late.

At this time, He Tengjiao was in Chengtianfu, Hao Shaoqi in the north had been surrounded by the king of Liangshun in Xiangfan, and the Ming army in Hanzhong in the west did not increase troops, but Meng Qiaofang, the governor of Shaanxi in the Qing court, in order to ensure that Haoge and Wu Sangui were not trapped in Sichuan and Shu, so he actively transferred people and horses to drive out the Ming army that entered Hanzhong.

After he got the letter from Plug Yinxi, although he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly raised his troops and horses to return to the division, it was better to take a boat along the river than Plug Yinxi.

He Tengjiao came slower than Du Yinxi thought, and on the second day after the Qing troops occupied Huanggang and the troops approached the mouth of the Sanjiang River, Ma Jinzhong's troops arrived on the other side of the Yangtze River.

Seeing this, You Youlun, the governor of Wuchang, was overjoyed and hurriedly organized boats to pick up people and horses across the river.

10,000 horses, thieves, in the early years between Lu and Yu, nicknamed mixed 100,000, it can be seen that the soldiers and horses were strong at the beginning, but then they were defeated by the official army, and they accepted the appeasement in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, and were controlled by Zuo Liangyu.

In the early years of Hongguang, Li Zicheng went south, Zuo Liangyu rebelled eastward, he and Wang Yun became Li Zicheng's defeat, soon Zuo Liangyu suddenly died of illness when he went east, his son Zuo Mengeng led his subordinates to surrender 100,000 Ming troops, Ma Jinzhong and Wang Yuncheng did not follow, led his subordinates to flee, and after some twists and turns, he went south to seek refuge in Chu Governor He Tengjiao.

At this time, because the Qing soldiers killed at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, and the panicked Wuchang soldiers and civilians saw that the horse department had arrived on the north bank, and immediately felt that a savior had come, and they were naturally very excited.

The gentry and the common people are killing pigs and slaughtering sheep, it is really a pot pulp, in order to welcome the king's division, nearly 10,000 Wuchang soldiers and civilians greet each other on the south bank of the Yangtze River, so that the officers and soldiers of the horse department have been treated the best since they joined the army, but after the people and horses of the horse department cross the river, they do not enter the city.

A day later, Chu Governor He Tengjiao led Wang Jincai's troops to Jiangbei, he crossed the river in a big boat, and was welcomed into the city by everyone.

When the Wuchang army and civilians saw the army coming, Chu Du sat in Wuchang, and their hearts were settled.

At this time, in the Yamen of the Governor of Huguang, everyone was seated, and Du Yinxi was also a little relieved, "The superintendent 30,000 horses have arrived in Wuchang, and even if Duoduo has 100,000 horses, we will hold on to the city and defend it, and we should not be afraid." ”

Chen Youlong and others also nodded yes, and the generals settled a stone in their hearts, but He Tengjiao had no confidence on his face, Fu Shangrui was the person he relied on, and his surrender to the Qing court made him feel a big blow.

In addition, Duoduo had 100,000 horses all the way, and King Liangshun had 80,000 horses all the way, a total of 180,000 people attacked Chu, maybe Meng Qiaofang in Hanzhong would also take the opportunity to ask for his life, he really had no confidence, which was why he didn't let Ma Jinzhong enter the city.

At this time, He Tengjiao listened to Gu Yinxi's words, but did not express his position, but looked at Chen Youlong and said: "The hearts of the people are separated from the belly, and this governor never expected that Fu Shangrui would harbor evil intentions and surrender to the Qing court." This time, thanks to General Chen, otherwise Fu Shangrui would have surrendered to the city, and the situation would not be good. ”

Chen Youlong stood up, clasped his fists and saluted: "Returning to the Governor, this time it is mostly the credit of the Heaven and Earth Society, and the last general failed to capture the Fu thief, so he didn't dare to take credit." ”

He Tengjiao waved his hand, "Mr. Chen is too modest, this governor is not wrong, this time you have made great contributions, this governor will definitely show you credit." ”

Chen Youlong didn't quite understand why Inspector He gave him a high hat, his relationship with He Tengjiao was not close, and it became close after Wang He got married.

Just when he was puzzled, He Tengjiao spoke again, "Right now, the Qing army is coming to Wuchang, and the governor wants to divide the troops to garrison Jiangxia, thinking that it is the momentum of the horns, but Wuchang must be guarded by someone, and the general soldier Chen is brave and strategic, and the governor feels that it is enough to take on this great responsibility. ”

The Qing army is coming, if the Ming army is all stationed in the city, then the Qing army will surround the city, and divide the division into a road to sweep deep into Hunan, so it is very necessary to divide a group of about 10,000 people outside the city to prevent the Qing army from penetrating into Hunan and contain the Qing soldiers, but this task obviously should not be done by the governor of Huguang.

Chen Youlong heard that He Tengjiao was going to hand over Wuchang to him, and he couldn't help but face each other with several generals in the hall, if he could suppress Wuchang, would he still use fire to stabilize people's hearts with fire before?

Before he could speak at this time, Du Yinxi stood up and said in a deep voice: "The provincial government of Wuchang wants the governor to pro-town, and as for the division of troops into horns, the Hunan soldiers are enough to do it." Inspector He can only rest assured that he will defend the city, as long as Wuchang is as solid as a rock, and I have a sailor in hand, it is enough to deal with the Qing soldiers. ”

The people in the hall also saw through He Tengjiao's thoughts, he was a little scared, he had no determination to live and die with Wuchang, and thought about handing over the burden to his subordinates, jumping out of the battle circle by himself, and looking outside. If Chen Youlong held Wuchang, everyone would be happy, and if he didn't, he would be able to flee to Hunan in time.

He Tengjiao was very conflicted in his heart, on the one hand, he still wanted to stick to Wuchang and keep the results of his business for a year, so he led his troops back to Wuchang, but on the other hand, 180,000 Qing soldiers entered Chu, and he didn't have enough confidence.

In this way, he is not considered to have escaped from the battle, but he can indeed play a role in containing the Qing army, and the most important thing is that once the battle situation is unfavorable, it is easier for him to escape.

He Tengjiao's abacus clanged, but the generals below are not stupid, your Governor ran to the side to watch us die. If we win, it is the Governor who has a good command, and if we lose, we will live and die with Wuchang, and the Governor will flee safely to the rear, how can the generals let him get his wish.

Besides, the current situation is not favorable, Wuchang is short of a backbone, how can the generals let him, the governor, shirk their responsibilities, they listened to the words of Du Yinxi, and immediately reacted, stood up together, hugged their fists and said: "Please also ask the superintendent to sit in Wuchang!" ”

As the saying goes, the mouth of eating people is soft, and the hands of people are short, although He Tengjiao is the governor of Huguang, and he is a head lower than him in his official position, but there is a Hunan that has not been destroyed by the war, and he wants money and grain in his hands, and He Tengjiao wants money and grain from him, and his waist is naturally not hard.

Seeing everyone like this, he knew that his plan had failed, but he really didn't dare to let him stay in Wuchang, so he shirked a few words and hastily ended the discussion.

Du Yinxi came out of the governor's palace with a somewhat ugly face and returned to the temporary residence arranged for him by You Youlun.

Not long after, Hu Weizong hurriedly came to the door to ask for a meeting, and was brought to Du Yinxi by the soldiers, he stepped forward and bowed, and said directly: "Futai, Inspector He's family is packing up, and it seems that they are preparing to go out of the city." ”

When Du Yinxi heard this, he said angrily: "This He Yuncong, he can't go by himself, and he is out like this, he sent his family away at this time, what do the soldiers and civilians of Wuchang think?" ”

"Do you want to dissuade Lord Futai?"

Du Yinxi frowned and shook his head, if He Tengjiao was so persuasive, he would not be He Tengjiao. Du Yinxi has dealt with He Tengjiao for many years and knows his personality well.

He was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "For the sect, you come here with your ears, Ben Fu has something to say." ”
