Sending away these deserters, Peng Ershu doubled the scouts sent and closely monitored the movements of the townspeople. Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and if the town soldiers really have an internal bar, the scouts will definitely find something abnormal.

After waiting for two days full of anticipation, Peng Ershu almost thought that the deserter had deceived him, and the scout suddenly came to report that the camp of the Zhenjun soldiers was in chaos, and the flames were raging, and they were killing each other.

"It's finally done!" Peng Ershu waved his fist excitedly, and secretly shouted in his heart: "Who said that civilian officials can't lead troops? Although I, Peng, can't go into battle to fight, but I am full of strategy and resourcefulness, and I will let the town soldiers disappear when I talk and laugh! ”

He immediately sent someone to find the chief soldier Zhang Guozhu, and excitedly asked him to send troops to attack the Zhenxiao soldiers, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, and solve Chen Youlong's henchman in one fell swoop.

Zhang Guozhu was very calm: "I can't tell whether this matter is true or false, the military gate still needs to be cautious, and even if there is civil strife in the Nanban, Chen Youlong is very brave, those deserters may not be able to succeed, I will send troops in a hurry, in case Chen Youlong is not dead, but caught off guard......"

"Thank you Zhang Shuai for reminding me, Benfu is indeed in a hurry." Peng Ershu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, Chen Youlong is a fierce general, and he can really rest assured when he sees his head, it is better to wait for the situation to be clear in Shaoyang City to ensure his own safety.

The two of them discussed, and sent a personal commander to the camp of the Zhenxiao soldiers, if Chen Youlong put down the rebellion, they would retreat quickly, and if those rebels succeeded, they would order them to take Chen Youlong's head to Shaoyang to offer prisoners and ask for merit.

The commander of the pro-soldiers hurried away, and Peng Ershu suffered gains and losses in the house. Restless, anxiously waiting for the evening, the commander of the pro-army finally returned.

"Congratulations to the military gate. The rebels of the Zhenxiao soldiers succeeded and captured Chen Youlong alive! ”

"Really?!" Peng Ershu couldn't keep his demeanor, and stood up suddenly.

"What the last general has seen with his own eyes, there is no false ......," the commander of the army recounted what had happened, and when he arrived at the camp of the Zhenjun soldiers, the rebellion had already ended, and Chen Youlong had been captured alive. He was tied up and kept in strict custody, and he went to check it out in person. Make sure that it is Chen Youlong himself, and he is by no means an impostor.

"The rebels have arrived in Shaoyang with Chen Youlong, and they want to sacrifice prisoners to the city and ask the court for forgiveness and reward. The matter was disposed of as such. Please also ask the military to decide! On the way here, the rebels pandered to this pro-soldier commander, slapped him on the back, and gave him a generous gift, asking him to say a few more kind words in front of Peng Ershu - unconsciously, his words carried a certain tendency.

"Look at it!"

Peng Ershu led everyone straight to the city gate, climbed the city tower to look down, and saw hundreds of rebels crowded in front of the drawbridge. It is clearly waving the green flag of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The officer he had seen once stepped forward and bowed to the castle tower. Another general surnamed Zhang, who presided over the rebellion, answered with Peng Ershu, and there was no flaw in his words.

"Where is Chen Youlong?" Other things are not important, and only when Chen Youlong is caught can he really rest assured.

General Zhang Shen waved his hand, and his subordinates pushed Chen Youlong up, although he was tied like a zongzi, but he was dressed in a lieutenant's uniform, his body was thin and dry, and his chin was a two-inch long goatee, which was undoubtedly Chen Youlong.

Peng Ershu was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, Chen Youlong, I didn't expect you to have today, what else do you have to say now?" ”

Chen Youlong bowed his head and did not answer, looking disheartened and slaughtered.

Peng Ershu shouted: "General Zhang, behead Chen Youlong for me!" ”

Such a fierce general will not die for a day, it is always a scourge to keep it, and only by killing him can he be truly relieved, and more importantly, if this is a trick set up by Chen Youlong, he can't really cut off his own head.

General Zhang was slightly stunned, then pulled out his saber and stabbed it into Chen Youlong's chest, the sword was pulled out, the corpse fell, and blood flowed.

The leader of the bandits is killed, and the overall situation has been decided! Peng Ershu ordered the opening of the city, and went to the city gate with the chief soldier Zhang Guozhu to greet the "volunteers".

The drawbridge was lowered, the city gate was pushed open, Peng Ershu stepped out with a smile, ready to show the demeanor of Corporal Lixian in public, but the rebels did not understand the rules, and rushed onto the drawbridge, and there was an inconspicuous colonel in the crowd, who suddenly bullied him and raised his knife to cut at Peng Ershu!

"I am the real King of Chen Yan, and I am here to take your head today." Stunned, Peng Ershu heard that the little school called himself Chen Youlong, and before he could figure out what was going on, he was cut into two sections.

The other Qing soldiers were still in a daze, but the Zhenxiao soldiers rushed straight in, killing the defenders under the command of Chen Youlong, and the general soldier Zhang Guozhu saw that the situation was not good, and turned around and ran away from Shaoyang from the city gate on the other side.

From the very beginning, this was Chen Youlong's strategy, those deserters were all the dead soldiers he carefully selected, and when the commander of the Qing army's personal soldiers first visited the camp, he saw Chen Youlong himself.

As for the dead "Chen Youlong", it was just a stand-in he found temporarily, and his figure and appearance were similar, and then he put a beard on him, carefully cleaned up and dressed up, and it looked like eight or nine points, and the light was not good at dusk, so he played a Li Dai Tao stiff under Peng Ershu's nose.

After occupying Shaoyang City, Chen Youlong galloped to Xianggui and reported the news that he had returned to Ming anyway, and on the other hand, he sent troops to attack several county towns in the north of Baoqing Mansion, and soon controlled most of Baoqing Mansion.

After receiving Chen Youlong's report, Du Yinxi and the loyal battalion sent troops from Xiangxi, seized Chenzhou Mansion all the way, and attacked Anhua County on the west side of Changsha Mansion all the way, so far, most of Xiangxi fell into the hands of the Ming army.

In eastern and southern Hunan, the Chu army continued to consolidate and expand its superiority, taking full control of Yongzhou and Chenzhou, and capturing parts of Hengyang and Changsha.

Kong Youde captured Hunan three months ago, because of the lack of military salaries everywhere to commit murder and looting, in addition to opportunists like Peng Ershu, most of the gentry and the common people hated the Tartars even more, and their hearts were towards the Ming Dynasty, but they did not expect the Ming Dynasty to recover the lost territory so quickly, and the people all cheered and were extremely supportive of the Ming army.

With money and strength, the gentry and the common people either donated money and food, or joined the army in order to protect their families and defend their hometowns, and the Chu army, the loyal battalion, the gentleman's battalion, and even Chen Youlong's headquarters were rapidly expanded, and their strength increased greatly. More and more young people signed up to join the army, and the Chu army had to raise the standard of conscription several times, but there was still a long queue outside the barracks every day.

No one was born willing to be a slave, after the baptism of the Battle of Huguang, the people had a more intuitive understanding of the brutality of the Qing army, the hidden willingness to resist continued to brew, has reached the verge of outbreak, when the Ming army achieved a long-lost victory, the enthusiasm of the people was finally ignited.

Tartars are not invincible!

The Ming Dynasty may not be destroyed!

In order to protect the family and defend the hometown, there were countless fathers sending their sons, wives to their husbands, and brothers to join the army together, and the officials and gentry also temporarily put aside their own interests and fully cooperated with the Ming army to launch a counteroffensive.

In a scene in full swing, He Tengjiao and his troops were very depressed.

Zhang Kuang crossed the mountains and crossed the mountains, and finally rushed to Baoqing Mansion, but most of Baoqing Mansion was occupied by Chen Youlong, and the adjacent Chenzhou Mansion was taken by the loyal battalion, Zhang Kuang hurriedly took action and occupied Jingzhou and Wugang Prefecture on the border of Hunan and Guizhou.

Jingzhou and Wugang Prefecture are close to the mountainous areas and are relatively barren, and the two prefectures together are not as good as a prefecture, even if Dong'an County and Xinning County are counted, all the territory is not very large. He Tengjiao is the governor of Huguang, and there is Zhang Kuang, the governor of Biyuan, but he only has a population of four or five hundred thousand under his rule, which can be called the biggest loser in the counterattack on Hunan.

He Tengjiao quickly issued an order, asking Zhang Kuang to send troops to attack Chen Youlong's department, and seize Baoqing Mansion first, but Zhang Kuang was unwilling to merge with friendly troops, and repeatedly looked for reasons to prevaricate.

Seeing that Zhang Kuang was disobedient, He Tengjiao personally came to Wugang Prefecture and directly withdrew his military power.

Zhang Kuang gloomily handed over the soldier Fu Xinyin, and couldn't help but admonish: "The situation in Hunan has come to this point, most of the students have mishandled it, but the loyal battalion has occupied Chenzhou Mansion, and the Chu army has occupied Yongzhou Mansion. There are more than a dozen state capitals in Hunan, only Changsha Mansion and Hengzhou Mansion are the most important, if these two prefectures can be taken, other matters can be discussed slowly......"

"Hmph, you're confused!" He Tengjiao reprimanded: "My hundreds of thousands of troops are trapped in Baoqing Mansion, how can I get involved in Hengzhou Mansion and Changsha Mansion, can I just sit here and watch, and let others take away the credit for recovering the whole of Hunan?" ”

When He Tengjiao came to Wugang Prefecture this time, he also brought Hao Shaoqi and Wang Jincai, plus the troops of Lu Ding and Cao Zhijian, as well as the remnants of the supervision battalion led by Niu Zhongxiao, there were more than 100,000 horses and horses, which is all He Tengjiao's capital now.

There was obviously a sense of accusation in his words, Zhang Kuang stood up awkwardly, and pleaded guilty again: "This matter is indeed the student's fault, but the current enemy should not merge with Chen Youlong, and the superintendent might as well take advantage of Shaoyang to attack Hengyang and Changsha from Baoqing Mansion." ”

Zhou Guodong is difficult to deal with, and it is basically impossible to borrow from Yongzhou Mansion, but Chen Youlong is a general who has just surrendered anyway, he doesn't want his territory, he only uses the road to pass, and he doesn't dare to refuse.

"By the way? This is a good way......" He Tengjiao's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled gloomily: "Just do what you want, let Chen Youlong get out of the way of the road checkpoints around Shaoyang, so that our army can capture Hengyang." ”

Zhang Kuang nodded and agreed, and after going down, he wrote an order to Chen Youlong in the name of the governor of Biyuan, and after sending someone to send him out, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart.

Busy with other things, Zhang Kuang couldn't think about it, and it wasn't until he went to bed at night that he suddenly reacted while lying on the bed, and couldn't help but be frightened, and sat up straight.

Fake Dao Extinguishment, how can I forget such a famous allusion, He Tengjiao's family is all in the hands of Chen Youlong, the so-called borrowing Dao Baoqing Mansion Yunyun, I am afraid of bad intentions! (To be continued......)
