The Western Army was blocked in Jingzhou, but the reinforcements of the Chu army kept coming, Kong Youde stood at the head of Wuchang every day, watching the warships with the flag of the Chu army sailing back and forth on the Yangtze River, almost falling into despair, just because of a thought, did not seize the opportunity to withdraw from Wuchang, and now the Chu army is gathered, and he can't go if he wants to.

After six or seven days of self-pity, when he got up in the morning, the scouts suddenly sent a report that Li Dingguo had captured Jiangling, the capital of Jingzhou Prefecture.

There is no endless road!

The monk Kong Youde was overjoyed and surprised, and he still couldn't believe it, and sent scouts to investigate again, and finally determined that the Chu army had taken the initiative to evacuate Jingzhou.

"Li Dingguo, this guy is really lucky, he fell under Jingzhou City and gnawed on the mud, but he happened to pick up a gold ingot, haha, hahahaha!" Kong Youde laughed heartily, and ridiculed Li Dingguo, a "mediocre general", and said excitedly: "He attacked Jiangling several times, but he was helpless, presumably because the war in Hunan was tight, and the Chu thieves had no choice but to shrink the defense line and transfer troops back to Hunan, but he inadvertently picked up a bargain, this war, anything can happen, no one can say!" ”

"This kind of is called Fu General, Fu Da has a great life and great creation, although Li Dingguo is not good at leading troops, but he is a Fu General like Niu Gao and Cheng Biting Jin, lying in the camp and sleeping for a while, and picking up a Jingzhou City in vain when he got up in the morning."

Shang Kexi was named the king of Zhishun by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and has always been known for his wisdom, after a little thought, he has seen through the layers of battlefield fog and insight into the intentions of the Chu army: "Hubei was originally a territory for breaking into the camp, and it has been repeatedly sawed and broken over the years, Wang Kefan does not value it, but Hunan is the nest of Chu thieves, from Yuezhou to Changsha and then to Hengyang, it is impossible to lose, and Sun Kewang is a rare handsome talent among the western thieves, and the Chu thieves can't resist the enemy, so they sent troops and horses from Hubei to help, and Li Dingguo took Jingzhou by luck, but in this way, It is also of great benefit to our army, and now is the perfect time to send troops to Xiaogan. ”

The soldiers were very fast, Shang Kexi and Kong Youde immediately sent 5,000 men and horses from Wuchang to the north and attacked Xiaogan.

According to their plan, this time the troops to attack Xiaogan were just a play, far away from the main force of the Chu army, and retreated to Wuchang after a circle in Xiaogan, and then reported to the Qing court that they had recovered Xiaogan, and were attacked by the friendly Li Dingguo's troops, and Xiaogan was lost and lost...... But after the Qing army sent troops, there has been no resistance along the road, the Qing army generals who led the team cautiously pushed forward, and accidentally arrived at Xiaogan City, only to find that the Chu army in the city had already withdrawn, and even the people did not have much left, it was already an empty city, this Qing army general immediately sent scouts to investigate, and found that in the nearby states and counties of Chengtian Mansion and De'an Mansion, the Chu army was retreating in a hurry, and the situation of Xiaogan was similar.

When the news reached Wuchang, the monk Kong Youde was stunned, and then he was surprised and delighted.

According to the general truth, even if the Chu army retreats on the whole line, it should be fortified and resisted step by step, there is no reason to just give up Jingzhou Mansion, Chengtian Mansion and De'an Mansion also flee from the wind, if this situation is pursued by Li Dingguo by victory, the retreating Chu army will suffer greater losses.

But this is just a general truth, Kong Youde and Shang Kexi used to fight with the Ming army, the performance of the Ming army is very similar to now, a little loss, immediately the whole line collapsed, every army wants to be the first to flee to the safe rear, no one wants to stay to cover the retreat of friendly troops, in other words, this is the so-called defeat like a mountain, after the loss of Jingzhou, the entire defense system of the Chu army in Hubei immediately collapsed.

"Alas, when the Chu thief was at war with our army, wasn't he originally quite able to fight, but how could he become so unbearable as soon as he ran into the West thief? If I am replaced by 'a tiger' Li Guo, even if I abandon Jingzhou, as long as there is the cooperation of the sailor, I can still maneuver around on both sides of the Han River, there is no reason to collapse for thousands of miles, hehe, Li Dingguo is really a lucky general, not only picked up a Jingzhou city for nothing, but also picked up half of Hubei for nothing, this is simply ...... It's just fucking shit luck! Kong Youde has a ridiculous feeling that he was born at the wrong time, he and the Chu army fought hard for many years, both sides were exhausted, but in the end they were picked up by Li Dingguo.

"I heard that Sun Kewang is attacking Yuezhou, intending to cut off the connection between Hubei and Hunan, these days the ships on the Yangtze River and the Han River are sending reinforcements to Yuezhou, it is estimated that Li Guo also went to Yuezhou, so Hubei gave up all the way." Shang Kexi pointed to the map and analyzed: "Since the Chu thieves have given up Xiaogan and Zhongxiang, De'an Mansion and Chengtian Mansion will definitely not be able to hold it, De'an Mansion cannot be defended, Xiangyang Mansion cannot be defended, Wuchang Mansion is in our hands again, Chu Thief only has one Huangzhou Mansion left in Jiangbei, and the remaining remnants of the defeated army will flee there, De'an Mansion and Chengtian Mansion must have been empty, since our army has occupied Xiaogan, simply advance forward with the trend, and then occupy the cities of Yingcheng, Anlu and Zhongxiang." ”

"Don't miss the opportunity, you won't miss it." Kong Youde looked at the map, was quite moved, and asked Shang Kexi's opinion: "Otherwise, let's make a fake come true, and after occupying the cities of Yingcheng, Anlu and Zhongxiang, we will divide our troops and garrison them, and don't easily give them to the western thieves, so that we can not only grab half of Hubei, but also open up the grain road between Henan and Henan, which is in line with the intentions of the imperial court." ”

"Never! The western thieves are powerful and invincible, we occupy the cities of Yingcheng, Anlu and Zhongxiang, and just report a great victory to the imperial court, and then we should withdraw to Wuchang as soon as possible, so as not to have a conflict with the western thieves, and wait until the imperial court reinforcements arrive, and then it is not too late to recapture them......"

Shang Kexi made a suggestion to send a eloquent envoy to Li Dingguo's army, invite the Western Army to attack Xiangyang Mansion together, and promised to win, he would give up Xiaogan and Yingcheng, An Lu and Zhong Xiang, in order to paralyze Li Dingguo, ensure the safety of his own family, and wait until the troops withdrew to Wuchang, and then according to the original plan, he fought a rake, and complained to the Qing court that Li Dingguo was secretly attacked, and the Western Army not only took away Xiaogan and Zhongxiang from the Qing army, but also marched north violently, clearly to attack Henan.

It's a good idea!

Kong Youde likes it very much.

Isn't Li Dingguo a lucky general? Dig a big hole for him this time, and it won't be over if he doesn't kill him.

Kong Youde is confident that as long as the Qing court can send 50,000 horses and reinforcements, he and Shang Kexi will have more than ninety percent certainty of defeating Li Dingguo, a mediocre general who relies on luck to fight, and then use the Yangtze River to hold Hubei, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and watch the Western Army and the Chu Army fight to the death in Hunan.

The plan was agreed, he and Shang Kexi transferred thousands of men and horses, rushed to Xiaogan, and at the same time ordered Xiaogan's Qing army to roll forward and occupy Yingcheng, Anlu and Zhongxiang and other places, these states and counties are now empty cities, send a hundred ten, hundreds of Qing troops can take a city, the western army because there is no water division, temporarily blocked on the east bank of the Han River, can only watch these cities one by one planted with the green flag of the Qing army.

……

"Kong Youde preemptively occupied De'an Mansion and Chengtian Mansion, and said that he would cooperate with us to attack Xiangyang, brothers, what do we say now?"

Kong Youde's envoy came to the Western Army, and Li Dingguo sent him down to convene the generals to discuss the matter.

"This is too bullying, 'a tiger' is what we beat away, but the Tartar is here to pick peaches!"

"Why did he occupy De'an Mansion and Chengtian Mansion, just to bully us that we don't have ships."

"The Tartars have always been hypocritical, Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, the two fake Tartars, can't be trusted, let's go to Xiangyang, they may stab them in the back again."

"Xiangyang Mansion must be fought, but Chengtian Mansion should be taken first."

"It's not just Chengtian Mansion, in my opinion, just take down Wuchang Mansion together......

The generals were filled with righteous indignation, unwilling to be snatched away by the Qing army after the hard fighting, and together they encouraged Li Dingguo to send troops.

Li Dingguo was in the middle of the situation, nodded and smiled: "Although our army is at war with the Chu army, but they are all the army of the Ming Dynasty, there is no reason to get cheap Tartars in the end, although this king and Chu are not in harmony with each other, but they are not in the same place with the Tartars, and the two fake Tartars of Kong Youde and Shang Kexi will want to kill them quickly, how can they be regarded as friendly troops!" The monk Kong Youde Kexi occupied the Chengtian Mansion and the De'an Mansion, and the king intended to recapture it, but the Hanshui River is wide and deep, even if the civilian ships are collected, they can only transport thousands of soldiers and horses across the river in one or two days. ”

"The last general is not talented, as long as there are 1,000 elite soldiers, you can take Zhong Xiang."

"I only need 500 foot soldiers to capture Anlu."

"I only need 500 people, and I can seize Xiaogan."

"I don't dare to compete with a few generals, I am willing to lead two thousand soldiers and horses to attack Wuchang and Hanyang, even if I can't break the city, I won't let the Tartars take another step out of Wuchang and Hanyang......"

The western army urgently recruited nearby civilian boats, and began to cross the Han River that night, the water network in this area of Hubei was crisscrossed, although no big boats were found, but many fishing boats and sampans were found, and with the help of the local fishermen and people, taking advantage of the calm of the Han River, it took two days to send 5,000 western troops to the east bank of the Han River.

Kong Youde monk Kexi this year sitting in the city of sorrow, the city of grain and grass consumption is too much, even the firewood is not enough, this time it is easy to occupy the De'an Mansion and Chengtian Mansion, see what is a good thing to use, of course, to collect a lot, nearly 10,000 Qing troops are like a swarm of locusts, in Xiaogan and other places to burn and loot, digging three feet of ground, eager to tear down the beams of the people's houses and take them away.

At this time, the Western Army suddenly killed, the Qing army that was caught off guard was about to collapse, not only lost a few cities just occupied, but also wiped out most of the centaurs, and the remaining remnants of the defeated army fled back to Wuchang in a hurry.

"The western thieves captured Xiaogan, as well as Yingcheng, An Lu and Zhong Xiang? Li Dingguo's guy, he didn't have the ability to conquer the city, and when he picked up the cheap, he ran fast, humming, but he didn't know that this was the king's intention to give in, he had already won the plan. ”

At first glance, when he heard that Xiaogan and other places had been lost one after another, Kong Youde thought that his troops were acting according to the plan and took the initiative to evacuate, and then the Western army took advantage of the situation to occupy these cities, and he despised Li Dingguo even more from the bottom of his heart. He is now very much looking forward to the fact that the reinforcements from the Qing court can arrive as soon as possible, and then he will fight with Li Dingguo in a dignified manner, and he is confident that he will definitely be able to defeat him, and even kill the famous king of the Western Army.
