Xiangyang City is located in the northwest of Hubei Province, the upper reaches of the Han River, because it is located in the Yang of Xiangshui and gets its name, the Han River passes through the city, and is located on both sides of the Xiangyang and Fancheng, facing each other across the river.

The northwest of Xiangyang City is the Qinling Mountains, the northeast is across a Huai River, the narrow strip of land in the north is the place where Henan must enter the Hubei land, and Xiangyang City is located on the exit of this narrow strip, it is the place where soldiers must fight since ancient times, and it can be called the heroic city of the world.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei went south from Nanyang several times to fight for Jingxiang, and Guan Yunchang also attacked Fancheng several times. By the time of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Song and Yuan dynasties fought a six-year battle of Xiangyang.

After Wang Yan defeated Luck Dehun at the mouth of Dongting Lake, and the grain and grass that was originally intended to be transported to Huguang was robbed by Chen Zilong, the Qing army in Huguang needed to make every effort to protect the important town of Wuchang and prevent Wang Yan from going eastward, so the Qing soldiers and materials in Huguang were shrunk to Wuchang, which made Xiangyang and other places extremely empty, and Xiangyang was the place where the Shun army operated before, so Gao Yigong's department occupied Xiangyang City at a very small price.

At this time, on the Han River, warships are swaying upstream, on both sides of the river, a large number of carts covered with oilcloth, pulled by the people and mules and horses, slowly marching north.

A group of soldiers, following the generals on horseback, sang war songs and rushed to Xiangyang.

All of them are united, and the mountains can be shaken.

Only loyal and righteous, angry bullfighting.

The Lord will kiss me better than my parents.

Committing military law is not free.

The order is clear, and the reward and punishment letter is written.

Go to the water and fire, dare to stay late!

Report to the Son of Heaven and save the head of Qian.

Kill all the slaves and find a marquis.

On both sides of the Han River, military songs are all over the sky, and the "Triumphant Song" made by Qi Gong is sung very majestically by these soldiers who support Xiangyang.

Xiangyang and Fancheng face each other across the river, at this time between the two cities, thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of people, are erecting two floating pontoon bridges on the wide Han River, so that Xiangyang, south of the Han River, can support Fancheng on the north bank at any time.

Gao Yigong, the commander of the Zhongzhi Army, stood at the head of Xiangyang City with the deputy general Liu Tichun, and a kind of general, looking at the busy soldiers and people on the river.

Gao Yigong looked at the distance and couldn't help but admire: "At the beginning, we were chased all the way by Azig, like a lost dog, and we were almost in a desperate situation, but now we have to confront it head-on in Xiangyang City, it is really impermanent~"

"Guogong levied 100,000 people this time, and transported materials, grain and grass to Xiangyang day and night, nearly half of the materials in the entire Chu land were sent to Xiangyang, and the grain and grass alone are enough for the whole city for a year, and I have high hopes for us~" Liu Tichun sighed.

"The land of Xiangyang, across Jingyu, controls the north and south, the terrain is very dangerous, and it has been a place for soldiers to fight for since ancient times." Gao Yigong nodded solemnly, and then glanced at the generals around him and said: "The victory or defeat of the Duke of Chu in this battle of Huguang is all on whether we can hold Xiangyang, and our trust in us is incomparable, and we must repay our kindness." With Xiangyang here, Azig and Wu Sangui will not be able to enter Jingchu. The Duke of Chu was able to calmly pull out Wuchang, and then return to the division to face Azig. Guogong asked me to hold on for two months, but I hope you will be ready to hold on for a year, understand? ”

When many generals heard this, their faces were solemn, and they all hugged their fists and promised: "Defend Xiangyang and die with the city!" ”

In the Huoying Mountains at the junction of Chu, Henan and Jiangnan, there are nearly 300 cottages of all sizes, which used to be local squires and big families, in order to resist the use of the Liukou, but now it has become the land of the three provinces, the largest anti-Qing base.

There are hundreds of people in these cottages, and the big ones have thousands of township soldiers, which is called a big force, and among them, there are 48 famous villages, called "Qihuang 48 villages".

The land of Qihuang, the folk customs are fierce, the Song and Jin resisted the Jin, the Song and Yuan dynasties, and the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it was also one of the earliest places to resist the Mengyuan Dynasty.

First in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the tradition of the Qihuang people rebelling against foreign tribes is still preserved, as early as the Hongguang Dynasty just collapsed, Huanggang County Baiyun Village owner Yi Daosan, Daqi village owner Wang Guangshu, then contacted more than 40 nearby cottages, looted the Qing army's food and salary, resisted the implementation of the shaving order.

At this time, on the mountain road with the largest white cloud plug in the trade and trade Qihuang, a middle-aged man dressed in the official robe of the fourth grade of the Ming Dynasty led a team of people and horses, pushing more than a dozen wheelbarrows, along the rugged mountain road, slowly moving forward.

In June, a round of scorching sun hung high in the sky, and the mountains went to the woods on both sides, and the cries of knowing were incessant, making people feel irritated.

While walking, Wu Jinxi couldn't help but wipe the sweat on his face with his sleeves, and sighed: "Lord Wangzhai, are the roads so difficult for you to walk in the cottage of the Yellow Land?" The terrain is so dangerous, I'm afraid it won't be easy for this Qing army to attack~"

Wang Guangshu, the owner of Daqi Village, who led the way, heard the words and smiled slightly, "The cottage is originally built to protect the safety of the villagers, and it is naturally dangerous, but the Qing soldiers also have a way to clear the soldiers, at the end of last year, the Qing general Xu Yong attacked the Zhuzhai on a large scale, and he was almost forced to kill himself in the next, but fortunately, the Duke of Chu won a series of victories in Chu, so that the Qing soldiers had to give up the cottage and transfer to the front line to deal with the grandfather of the country, so that he saved a life~"

Wu Jinxi listened, and his face was happy, "Grandpa Guo is a very person, and with his own strength, he has reversed the situation in Huguang, and he is really capable of ministering." ”

"Yes~ Chu Guogong attacked Wuchang City this time, and it is my duty to Qihuang Forty-eight Village!" Wang Guangshu nodded, and suddenly he pointed ahead and said, "Lord Wu, you see that the cottage has arrived~"

When Wu Jinxi heard this, he was immediately happy in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw the mountain in front of him, a cottage that stretched for several miles, built between the mountainsides, like a giant python mountain, steep and abnormal.

Soon after, Wu Jinxi and the team behind him finally came to the cottage, and outside the Saimen, there were already a large number of people waiting to greet them, Wang Guangshu introduced Wu Jinxi one by one, the Chinese positions in the village include Wang Ding, Zhou Yuan, Cao Yinchang, martial arts Li Youshi, Chen Yuzao, Yi Daosan, Hu Yuliang, Chang Jinlou, Liu Fengyu, Chen Yuan, Xiao Xinyu, and Zhu Changchao, the king of Jing, who was wearing a red dragon robe.

Wu Jinxi saw the salute one by one, and then went straight to the point, and bowed his hand and said: "Today you can come to welcome someone Wu, Wu is grateful, and at the same time thank you for your righteous help for the Duke of Chu, here is 100,000 taels of silver, it is a little heart of the Duke of Chu, and he wants to defeat Wuchang, and the Duke of Chu guarantees that there will be a reward." ”

When the people in the village heard the words, they didn't look at the silver on the car, so they clasped their fists together, and replied arrogantly: "The prince of the country beckons each other, how dare we not come?" ”

When Wu Jinxi saw this, he had nothing else to say, only a long bow to show the feeling in his heart.

The battle of Jingchu was related to the life and death of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yan did not dare to slack off at all, Wu Jinxi sent an envoy to Qihuang Forty-eight Villages, Yan Qiheng went to Hanzhong with grain and grass, and Wang Fuzhi was sent to Ganzhou, and Du Yinxi went to Yuezhou again to negotiate with He Tengjiao.
