Seeing that Shang Kexi was reluctant to say anything, Kong Youde couldn't help but turn to Geng Zhongming and asked, "What does Yuntai think?" ”

Geng Zhongming glanced at Shang Kexi and said, "It's hard to say!" ”

"With the current situation, it has come to the point of life and death, what else is there to say, say!" Kong Youdewen said angrily. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Since Emperor Taizu raised troops in the Qing Dynasty, this kind of defeat is the first time, and since the south, Hunan has not only not taken an inch of land, but has lost the important town of Changde, and the new account is added to the old account. The regent gave an order, we have to be punished, not to mention the loss of the official title, and the face is really unreasonable, compared to the actions of the Manmeng Eight Banners in Jiangxi, our face can be regarded as a loss!

I'm always thinking about it these days. To be honest, we did underestimate the enemy before, the defeat of Yingtianguan and the defeat of Changde were no accident, we have not seen each other for a year, the puppet dynasty has changed a lot, and we need to re-weigh its weight, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

"Zhenyang, what do you see?"

"What the PTZ said is reasonable!" Shang Kexi nodded, touched his short beard to him who was conceited with wisdom and scheming, and said: "A few days ago, I specially sent a lot of fine workers to the south to investigate the situation of the puppet dynasty for nearly a year.

After the puppet Tang King was killed, the puppet official pushed the puppet King Gui to supervise the country in Zhaoqing, and later called the emperor and established the name Yongli. That Yongli was a cowardly and mediocre person, never thought that after he fled to Wuzhou, it seemed that he suddenly opened his mind overnight, less than three months, except for the ministers, the destruction of the strong town, and the supervision of the army several times to repel the Guangdong Li Chengdong department, although its military and political talent is not as good as the regent and his old man, but it is definitely not Wuxia Ameng.

After nearly a year of thunderous means of rectification within the Ming Dynasty, it is no longer the previous state of fighting separately and scattered, especially the successive return of the Western Army and the rest of the Shun Army, the military strength of the puppet dynasty has increased greatly, and the battle of Huguang is becoming more and more difficult to fight! ”

For the master of the Zhu family, Shang Kexi originally looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, but after he got more and more information, his inner opinion of the Ming Dynasty emperor had to change.

Kong Youde fell into deep contemplation after hearing this, and Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi were also thinking about their own thoughts on the side. They all crawled out of the pile of dead people, and they generally see things more thoroughly.

After a long time, Kong Youde spoke: "The arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and it is indeed the right thing for the soldiers. Since entering the customs, we have been fighting too smoothly, up and down, the heart, are floating, Yingtianguan and Changde, is to remind us, these two defeats we lost unjustly! At least let us see that Yongli is a big trouble, from now on, he is our number one enemy, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command! ”

Shang Kexi pondered deeply for a while: "What the marshal said is that the soldiers of the puppet dynasty should not be underestimated.

Let's travel thousands of miles, from Liaodong to Huguang, has been tired, two defeats, only less than 80,000 soldiers and horses left, compared to the puppet dynasty in Huguang more than 100,000 troops, it is indeed thin, can you not write to the regent, ask him to send some soldiers and horses over? ”

Kong Youde shook his head: "The war in Jiangxi is tight, and the main forces of Manchu and Mongolia are all contained in Nanchang Mansion for a generation, and they really can't get out of the way, as for the 30,000 full soldiers guarding the Jifu generation, they will never move unless they have to, and the north has not been peaceful recently, and the ant people are making trouble everywhere, Jiang Xiang's house is also reversed, and they need Jifu's soldiers to deter. ”

"These are of course facts, but what about Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi? Hasn't the imperial court already transferred Wu Sangui to Hanzhong? At that time, the war was going well, and Shaanxi was eventful, so he was sent to Hanzhong, but now, no matter how anxious Shaanxi is, it can't be in a hurry with Jiangxi and Huguang! Since the soldiers of Gyeonggi can't move, it's good to send him! ”

"Zhenyang! Why did the regent put Wu Sangui in the west and put it on hold and never reused, don't you know the reason for this? Kong Youde reprimanded: "The regent is an old man, how wise he is, he doesn't know the situation in Huguang? If his old man has the heart to send reinforcements, he will transfer people without us opening his mouth!

Now that he has not sent an edict, he has his own old man's considerations, and Ji Fu's soldiers, as well as Wu Sangui, are afraid that they will not move for the time being. Even if you send troops, you will be transferred from Liaodong again, except for the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, it would be good to be able to collect one or two horses, but it would only be half a year later, and far water could not quench your thirst!

For the sake of today, let's think about how to fight this battle next! ”

Shang Kexi said: "Judging from the two battles of Yingtianguan and Changde, the Southern Barbarians are obviously well-planned, and our 80,000 soldiers and horses are afraid that it will be very difficult to level Huguang, but I am afraid that the chances of winning are not big!" ”

Kong Youde closed his eyes: "Even if the chance of winning is not big, we have to fight." ”

Geng Zhongming nodded approvingly: "The two battles of Yingtianguan and Changde were fought in a hurry, and we don't know how capable the Southern Barbarians are."

At this moment, Yiyang is besieged by the Southern Barbarians, and the requests for help are frequent, Yiyang is located in the key Chong, we need to immediately send troops to rescue, not only to save, but also to send the main force to find a way to fight with the Southern Barbarians in the field, and fight a few tough battles, the more ruthless we fight, the more impossible it is for the Southern Barbarians to divide their troops and take care of him, so they turned away the threat of Jiangxi Manmeng Eight Banners.

As long as Jiangxi is certain, when the time comes, the regent will send the main force of Manchu and Mongolia into Huguang, join forces with us, eliminate the Nanban in Huguang in one fell swoop, and capture the puppet dynasty Yongli! ”

Geng Zhongming thought that he had talked about Kong Youde's heart, and he was happy to take a look, but he saw that Kong Youde was still frowning: "Is there anything else important about the handsome?" ”

Kong Youde squinted his eyes and touched the sharp horizontal knife on his waist: "Zhenyang, Yuntai!"

The so-called plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, and at the moment of the decisive battle, we can't be cowardly, but the outcome is unpredictable after all.

On the side of the puppet dynasty, the western army gathered and broke into the elite camp, and its emperor was by no means an idle person, but it is difficult to say how far this battle will be fought in the end. These days, every time I think of this, I always have an ominous premonition, and I invited the old fairy to hang a few times, and the hexagram didn't say anything bad, but in my heart...... This is the first time in all these years. ”

"Big brother doesn't have to be like this? Since we know that the Southern Barbarians have some Taoism, we should be cautious everywhere. Step by step, no longer give the southern barbarians a chance. Drag until the regent's reinforcements arrive, and then take them down in one go! ”

Kong Youde smiled bitterly: "Yuntai, if it was really so easy, it would be good!" ”

……

Just when Kong Youde and the others were worried about pacifying Huguang, and in Changsha City, which was four or five hundred miles away, Zhu Youlang and his ministers were watching a heavy ceremony of sacrificing prisoners outside the Son of Heaven. (To be continued.) )
