As if the dominoes were overturned, Jin Shenghuan suddenly reversed, causing a chain reaction.

The Chu army was one step ahead and seized the territory in eastern Hunan, and the loyal battalion was not much slower because of Wang Kefan's notice in advance, so they sent troops from Xiangxi in time to launch a surprise attack on Changde Mansion, and after three days of fierce fighting, they successfully recovered Changde.

Gao Yigong attacked Taoyuan County, Yuan Zongdi attacked Lizhou, Li Guo and others successively pulled out Shimen, Yuanjiang and other prefectures and counties, and in less than a month's work, they recovered the entire territory of Changde Mansion and the western part of Yuezhou Prefecture, and formed a confrontation between Dongting Lake and Luckedhun.

In contrast, He Tengjiao, who was hiding in Guangxi, was late.

For the sake of safety, He Dufu retreated too deep to Guangxi at the beginning, and also destroyed and blocked all the roads along the way, and every day the deep ditch was fortified, and the news was very closed, until Emperor Longwu sent a messenger from Guilin, He Tengjiao woke up like a dream, and the Qing army on the opposite side was withdrawn, and the Chu army, the loyal battalion and the plugging Yinxi were counterattacking.

What can I do? The soldiers and horses under He Tengjiao were originally a group of rabble, slow to act, not strong in combat effectiveness, but they started later than others, they were simply stupid birds flying backwards!

In a hurry, he ordered Cao Zhijian and Lu Ding to immediately send troops to attack Quanzhou, Guangxi, and open the passage back to Huguang. Only then did He Tengjiao realize that he was in a hurry, and hurriedly dispatched elite troops such as Hao Shaoqi and Wang Jincai to help in the battle, and tens of thousands of troops were mighty and slaughtered the whole state again.

What is depressing is that after Li Maozu fought a victory. Knowing that the Daoming army would launch a more fierce attack, he took the initiative to retreat to Huguang with his soldiers and horses, and He Tengjiao's tens of thousands of troops staged an armed parade. But I didn't even see the shadow of the Qing army. After receiving the report, He Dufu was furious, very angry with the cunning Li Maozu, and ordered Cao Lu's second general to immediately chase Li Maozu into Huguang and recover Yongzhou Mansion.

The bigger accident was still to come, Cao Zhijian and Lu Ding had just walked halfway when they received a scout report that Lingling, the capital city of Yongzhou Mansion, had been captured by the Chu army first.

The hand is too long!

Cao Zhijian and Lu Ding were indignant. immediately sent people to Yongzhou to negotiate, but came back with a nose of ashes, and the generals of the Chu army were Zhou Guodong, Tan Xiao and Gu Zongfu. One person is more difficult to speak than the other, if it weren't for Wang Ding pulling in the middle, he almost beat the messenger with a military stick.

Cao Zhijian and Lu Ding both knew that Zhou Guodong was a difficult person. Even if they go to Lingling in person to negotiate. I couldn't get it back, so I had to camp thirty miles away from the city and send someone to report to He Tengjiao in the rear.

Fast horses came and went, but in three days, He Tengjiao sent Zhang Kuang as the plenipotentiary to negotiate with the Chu army.

After Fu Shangrui surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were not many talents in He Tengjiao's bag, and Zhang Kuang's daughter-in-law for many years became a mother-in-law. took over the position of governor of Biyuan, but with the hat of "acting" in front of him. It shows that he is still acting governor for the time being.

Generally speaking, the agent will soon be corrected, He Tengjiao's faction is now greatly injured, and Zhang Kuang is already an important member above 10,000 people under one person, and he has enough weight to negotiate with the Chu army. If the gentleman is not heavy, he is not mighty, Zhang Kuang put out the governor's guard of honor and horses, and came to Lingling City majestically.

The soldiers of the Chu army guarding the gate did not allow him to enter the city.

It's just too much!

Zhang Kuang, as the governor of Biyuan, is directly in charge of Yongzhou Mansion, how can there be a unit that does not allow higher-level leaders to enter the door?

"Do you know who I am?" He got out of the car himself and coldly reprimanded the military academy guarding the door.

"Zhilu Dao, you are the governor master." The military academy guarding the gate gave a military salute and was very respectful.

"Then don't let it go quickly!" Zhang Kuang waved his hand impatiently, looking like an adult who didn't remember the villain's past.

"That's not good, my family's chief has already had a military order, don't say it's Governor Zhang, even if He Dufu comes in person, he is not allowed to enter Lingling City." The attitude of the military academy was still very polite, but he didn't mean to be afraid, looking at his helpless expression, he seemed to be quite sympathetic to Zhang Kuang - the dignified governor and master actually ate such a big closed-door soup, Master Zhou is really not a kind person.

"Presumptuous!" Zhang Kuang was furious and waved his hand to his subordinates: "Follow me into the city, see who dares to stop my car!" ”

"I'm sorry, I really have to stop you, master, so as not to have a conflict, and everyone will not look good." Under the order of the military academy, the soldiers of the Chu army raised their swords and guns one after another, blocking in front of Zhang Kuang: "We are waiting for our duties, if the governor is forced to break in, don't blame us for being rude......"

This group of Chu soldiers didn't eat hard and soft, they didn't take Zhang Kuang in their eyes at all, the so-called military order is like a mountain, if the other party breaks through, as long as it doesn't hurt Zhang Kuang's life, he won't be punished in any way.

"Good! Good! Good! I won't talk to you, ask Zhou Guodong to come to see me! ”

"Master, please wait a minute, someone has been sent to report to Master Zhou, and I will be there soon." The military school may not be able to ride a horse, the upper lip touches the lower lip, and a "right away" is right away for most of the hour.

The May sun was already quite powerful, Zhang Kuang's clothes were well dressed, and he was sweating from the sun, and just when he was almost impatient, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and hundreds of heavily armed cavalry rushed out of the city gate surrounded by four flags.

Zhou Guodong, Tan Xiao, Wang Ding, Gu Zongfu, and several Chu generals in Lingling City arrived together.

They brought a total of 400 cavalry, the streets of Lingling City were not wide, and the 400 cavalry lined up in a long line, pouring out of the city gate endlessly, with iron horses and angry horses, dazzling swords and guns, with an iron-blooded killing intent, the official authority of Zhang Kuang and his party was immediately suppressed.

Zhang Kuang was better, but the honor guard under him was panicked, afraid of being crushed by the collision of the war horse, so he hurriedly avoided both sides, and the honor guard he was holding was staggered and chaotic.

At this time, Zhang Kuang calmed down, the generals of the Chu army were so arrogant, they obviously wanted to provoke themselves, and they broke up unhappily after the worst trouble. He is here to negotiate, and since he can't suppress the generals of the Chu army with official authority, he will lower his figure and turn a blind eye to their provocations.

"Please forgive me for wearing armor on my body, and I can't bow it all." Zhou Guodong and the others kicked off the horse and stepped forward to see.

"It's good to say, several generals are fighting for the country, and the armor will not leave their bodies, so there is no need to be polite." The corners of Zhang Kuang's mouth twitched twice, and he actually squeezed out a fairly sincere smile: "I haven't seen you for two years, General Zhou and General Tan still have the same demeanor, congratulations, hey, these two generals look at their faces, I don't know what to call ...... up and down."

After a few words of greeting, Tan Xiao said with a grin: "We have just taken Lingling, and the city is not very peaceful, according to the order of the general of Wang Junmen, idle people are not allowed to enter the city, of course, Zhang Junmen can enter the city, but he can only bring two guards with him." ”

Miscellaneous people, etc.? How did these people under me become idle people, etc., could they be the meticulous work of the Qing army? Zhang Kuang was unhappy in his heart, but he remained silent on the surface, and said with a smile: "No need, I'm just passing by Lingling, by the way, I will come to see you, just say a few words outside the city." ”

After taking a few steps under the shade of the tree, Zhang Kuang went directly to the topic: "General Zhou was still in Yuxian a few days ago, and he came to Lingling so soon, he was too eager." ”

You have to grab all the territory, and you don't leave a little for the friendly troops, and the food is too ugly.

"Hehe, my Zhou Guodong can't be literate, and I can't do martial arts, the only thing that has one benefit is that I never want to be left behind when I kill Tartars. Since Kong Youde invaded Huguang, the Chu army has fought dozens of battles with it, and I have almost rushed to the front every time, what is it to fight a small Lingling? ”

Zhou Guodong's eloquence is not good, but at this time, he talked eloquently, with a fair and honest spirit, and asked: "May I ask Zhang Junmen, where were you when we waited to resist the Qing Dynasty and kill the enemy and move to Huguang?" ”

Where is it? In Guangxi!

The Qing army invaded Hunan, and the troops under He Tengjiao were about to collapse at the first touch, either surrendering directly or fleeing in despair, except for Hao Shaoqi and the Qing army, the other hundreds of thousands of Hunan officers and soldiers killed no more than 100 enemies.

Zhang Kuang was a little weak-hearted, but his mouth was still insisting: "The generals have worked hard and made great achievements, and Benfu is all knowledgeable, but Lingling should still be taken over by He Dufu's soldiers and horses." First, the Yongzhou Mansion was initially decided, and all kinds of waste were waiting to be rebuilt, and it was necessary to send capable officials and cadres to preside over government affairs as soon as possible, and secondly, the Tartars still occupied most of Hunan, and He Dufu dispatched 100,000 troops to restore the whole of Hunan, but you blocked the way to the north...... This, we still have to focus on the overall situation! ”

Gu Zongfu said loudly: "When the Gongyi battalion was under the command of He Dufu, it was overwhelming everywhere, but now the Chu army has the upper hand, and he said that he should focus on the overall situation, ha, it's really a dogskin mattress!" ”

Where did this guy come from? Zhang Kuang secretly slandered himself, Zhou Guodong was already a difficult person to deal with, but this Gu Zongfu was even more bitter, what was difficult to hear.

Zhou Guodong nodded and said: "We will not let Lingling out, not only Lingling will not let it, but all the states and counties east of the Xiangjiang River will not let it. As for He Dufu going north to resist the Qing Dynasty, he doesn't have to go to Lingling, he can go north from Dong'an County and Xinning County. ”

Lingling is located in the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River, and the water road can go directly to Hengyang, but Dong'an County and Xinning County belong to the Nanling area, the road is rugged, over the mountains and mountains, and it takes several times more time for the army to pass.

How does this work? Fat and lean meat, you serve it in a pot, leaving me only a few hard bones, Zhang Kuang was about to speak, and Gu Zongfu spoke again.

"Dong'an County and Xinning County were originally going to fight, but Wang Junmen specially instructed him to leave He Dufu until now, if Zhang Junmen is unwilling to go, the last general can pacify these two counties as long as he brings a thousand soldiers and horses."

"No need, I'll go and get these two counties." Zhang Kuang hurriedly spoke, and grabbed back a piece of land somewhat.

"That's okay, the people of Dong'an County and Xinning County live in poverty, and they all rely on Zhang Junmen to settle down." Gu Zongfu smiled, looking cheap and bad. (To be continued......)
