Chapter 245 To chase or not to chase

The cavalry of the Chu army rushed out of the city gate like a gust of wind, and the rumbling horses' hooves shook the ground slightly, and occasionally encountered some soldiers of the Longwu army along the way, all of whom hid far away, not daring to come up to intercept.

Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong escorted the Son of Heaven out of the city gate, and soon after, Yao Qisheng also escorted the arrested Chu Xun officials out of the city, and passed near the station of the Junzi camp one after another. When the sentry turned to leave, only Gu Yinxi was left in the tent of the Chinese army, he frowned and fell into contemplation, as if he had encountered a great problem, after a long time, spread out the pen and paper, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and a line of clear handwriting fell on the white paper: "Brother Yuntai, see the letter like a ......."

"Tut-tut, I didn't expect Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong to be so bold that they dared to really rob the Son of Heaven!"

Du Shiming has been very strict since he was a child, and he never speaks with dirty words, looking at the back of the Chu army's cavalry at this moment, he can't help but have the urge to scold his mother, but if he looks at his expression carefully and listens to his tone, he does not look angry and anxious, but is full of schadenfreude, his face is full of excitement, and the little stars in his eyes are shining and shining, and he admires and envies Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong, the two daring thieves.

In the intrigue of the Longwu court, the generous plug Yinxi is an outlier, he has always endured for the country, compromised, and even with the gentleman's camp in the past few years, he usually does not dare to complain, but at this time, a little schadenfreude is an indescribable pleasure.

Seeing the back of the Chu army's cavalry disappearing, he reluctantly retracted his gaze: "It's strange, my father has always been loyal, why did he stand still today and let Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong rob the Son of Heaven?"

Du Zhengming is his cousin, the camp officer of the Junzi Battalion, much more stable than him, he has always been cautious in his words and deeds in front of outsiders, and there is nothing to say between the two brothers, and after thinking about it, he replied: "The Son of Heaven was robbed by the Chu army, maybe it is not a bad thing."

Du Shiming was stunned for a moment and asked, "Could it be that my father also thought the same way, so he let Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong leave?"

Du Zhengming shook his head: "I don't know."

After the defeat of Guilin, the vitality of the Longwu court was greatly damaged, the capital accumulated in the past few years was lost, the military and economic strength was seriously damaged, the prestige of the imperial court was no longer there, after the Western Army supported the Yongwang Zhu Cihuan, Emperor Longwu could not even keep the status of the imperial court, even if he ran to Guangzhou to reopen, the imperial court decree was difficult to go out of Lingnan.

The ups and downs of the past few years fully show that without the support of Wang Kefan, he alone could not maintain the stability of this huge empire, for example, this time he must stick to Guilin, and was finally driven out by the Western army.

For the Southern Ming Empire under Emperor Longwu, it was also unable to afford another split and civil war, and Emperor Longwu went to Nanjing, which may be the best result, even if he was tied up by the Chu army.

Sheji is the most important for the monarch and the lighter, although the plug Yinxi will not betray Emperor Longwu, but since the Chu army has robbed the emperor, he will not forcibly change this result, this can be regarded as a kind of forbearance for the country, but the wronged person has become the emperor.

"My dad won't chase it, let's chase it, shall we? Snatching the Son of Heaven back, this is an immortal achievement, at least he can be a marquis. "Du Shiming's thinking is uncertain, he doesn't want to go against Chu Jun, he just can't bear it, it's easy to catch up with such a big mess, wouldn't it be a pity not to join in the fun.

"I'm going to go to you, I don't want to provoke those two evil stars." Du Zhengming's face changed suddenly, and he remembered the unbearable scene at the beginning: "Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong are both dogs, if they say that they will turn their faces, they will turn their faces, I can't afford to hide, it's best not to meet the two of them for the rest of my life!"

When Tan Xiao chased after him from Quanzhou, he led his troops to intercept Tan Xiao, but he was negligent for a while, he was captured by mistake, and he used all kinds of intimidation and threats as a hostage, which was a great shame in his life, and he was also afraid of Tan Xiao's two hundred and five from the bottom of his heart. Speaking of which, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong are actually not a few years older than him, because they have a relationship with Du Yinxi's peers, so they are half a generation older than him, but Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong have no consciousness of their elders at all, not only do they bully the small with the big and are full of nonsense, but they also beat them when they raise their hands, and scold when they turn their faces...... As the camp officer of the gentleman's camp, Du Zhengming is a square gentleman who abides by the way of a gentleman, a moral gentleman who examines himself three times a day, and a polite and humble gentleman, how can he be entangled with these two scoundrels!

"If you don't chase them, of course I won't chase them, knowing that they are not easy to provoke, why should I humiliate myself?" Du Shiming smiled schemingly, I'm just teasing you, in fact, I have already seen through everything, don't want to use me as a gunman.

……

"Chase, you must chase the Son of Heaven back!"

Hearing that Emperor Longwu was kidnapped by Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong, Liu Fangliang was furious, and Dang Shousu and He Zhen were even more indignant, and helped up Chen Zizhuang and others, who were still choking and crying, and said categorically: "We have received the kindness of the Son of Heaven, and we have nothing to repay for our broken bones, and the army of tens of thousands of tigers and wolves under our command will be inseparable from today with Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong, and will not welcome back the Son of Heaven, and will not kill Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong, the two traitors, and vow not to collect troops!"

"Sheji is unfortunate, the traitor is in charge, the Son of Heaven has been displaced for half his life, but he has suffered this catastrophe again, I am helpless now, thanks to the three generals to call the ......" Chen Zizhuang is the most determined "hawk" in the imperial court, resolutely unwilling to compromise with Chu Xun, and Tang Laihe and others single-handedly directed the Quanzhou Incident, and carried out a major purge of Chu Xun's party officials, when he thought the overall situation had been decided, but he was counterattacked by Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong most fiercely, and directly plundered the Son of Heaven and the queen, which was tantamount to a blow to Chen Zizhuang, and the whole person almost collapsed, forcibly traveled hundreds of miles to ask Liu Fangliang, Dang Shousu and He Zhen for help, and regarded them as the last straw.

"Chen Ge spent a day on the old road, and when we rush to Daozhou, we will have to delay for at least two days, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong must have converged with the main force, and they can't catch up." Dang Shousu didn't have a good impression of Chen Zizhuang, so he hung him aside, unfolded the map with a bang, looked at it for a long time, rubbed his beard and said: "The current plan is to block the road first to prevent Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong from running into Huguang and joining up with other Chu troops, and then fight them to the death." Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong committed this kind of great crime, the army must be unstable, and they only want to escape, as long as our army is in the camp step by step, so that they have no way to escape, they can be easily defeated. ”

Daozhou is a remote county under the Yongzhou Mansion, the capital of Yongzhou Mansion Lingling has the Chu army stationed, although the number of troops is not much, but it can play a role in responding to Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong, in addition to the party Shousu and Liu Fangliang, He Zhen do not want to start a full-scale war with the Chu army, but to target Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong, the two of them openly raised troops to hijack the car, everyone in the world will be punished, not afraid of offending Wang Kefan.

"Well, this deal can be done, at least not at a loss." He Zhen was also very optimistic, and pointed to a place on the map with his finger and said: "Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong have no other choice, either go north to Lingling, or go east to Chenzhou, as long as we get stuck in these two roads, we can force them to fight with us, huh...... Here, let's be here in Ningyuan, fuck the fuck hard! ”

Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong could neither retreat to Guangxi, nor could they enter the mountainous northern part of Guangdong, so they could only fight a battle with Liu Danghe and break through their blockade to escape back to Huguang.

Ningyuan is located in the traffic rush, near the river and surrounded by mountains, which can not only fully deploy the troops, but also hold on to the danger, it is a very ideal battlefield, where a pocket array is laid out, surrounded on all sides, the center blooms, and Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong are annihilated in one fell swoop, this is the plan finally set by Liu Danghe.

The general plan has been decided, and there are many details to add, for example, Liu Fangliang pointed out that it is necessary to prevent Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong from playing the trick of "Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang", attracting chasing soldiers with a large army, but secretly sending a small army to quietly send away Emperor Longwu, he fought side by side with the Chu army back then, and knew that the Chu army was the best at the disguise infiltration of small troops, which was simply pervasive and unguardable, if they sent Emperor Longwu away from the path, even if Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong were all wiped out, it would be meaningless.

This requires more friendly troops to cooperate, although Liu Danghe has an army of nearly 40,000 people, but Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong also have more than 10,000 troops, the combat effectiveness of the Chu army is not to be underestimated, in order to ensure victory, can no longer divide the troops, Chen Zizhuang immediately volunteered, willing to be undertaken by the Longwu army in Daozhou, Guo Weijing's remnants plus other Qinwang army, miscellaneous can also put together 20,000 horses, although there is no ability to fight the Chu army head-on, it is no problem to guard the crossroads.

"Oh-in that case, then there is Lao Ge Lao, rush back to mobilize troops and horses as soon as possible......" Although Liu Fangliang didn't say it explicitly, in fact, he was still a little uneasy, the Qinwang army in Daozhou City was all killed by the Chu army, when Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong robbed the Son of Heaven, these Qinwang troops fled without a fight, and the blockade line composed of them was probably broken like window paper.

"Baoguo Gong don't have to worry too much, we actually have a friendly army, Hunan Governor Xiong Wei has led 2,000 men and horses to Qinwang, and he will rush to Daozhou in the near future, which can come in handy." Meng Zheng, who came with Chen Zizhuang, provided an important piece of information.

"Xiong Wei? He has been the governor of Huguang for two or three years, is this person reliable? Will it be a secret song with Chu Rebellion? Liu Fangliang hesitated.

Xiong Wei's 2,000 men and horses are not much, the key is that he is the governor of Huguang, and he can justifiably mobilize the civil and military officials and local garrisons in Yongzhou Mansion, Chenzhou Mansion, Hengzhou Mansion and other places, if he is willing to help, the certainty of rescuing Emperor Longwu is a little bigger, Liu Fangliang is worried that Xiong Wei, as the governor of Hunan, has been an official in Chu Xun's lair, what is the relationship between him and Chu Xun, if this person is not reliable, it may be a big deal at a critical moment.

"As early as when he was in Fujian, Xiong Wei was already a close minister by His Majesty's side, and he always accompanied him during his adventures in Tingzhou, and later he had to be reused, and he would never betray His Majesty." Wang Fuzhi and Chen Zizhuang patted their chests together and played a package ticket, Xiong Wei was originally a nail in the coffin of the Longwu court in Hunan, and he has always been loyal to Emperor Longwu, and has nothing to do with Chu Xun.
