The emperor has been called a lonely widow since ancient times.

For Emperor Longwu, in addition to being completely loyal to his inner court eunuchs and imperial party, there is no essential difference between the southern party and Chu Xun, although Wang Kefan is not a big tail, He Wuyu can also not be trusted unconditionally, if Chu Xun and other local separatist forces are like a country within a country, the contradiction between the southern party and Emperor Longwu, who has been accompanied by the left and right, is more direct and more intense, in the past two years, there has been a constant open and secret struggle between the emperor and the civil official group, and even almost caused a big chaos in the palace coup, at the sensitive moment when he was just defeated by the Western army, Emperor Longwu would not easily set foot in Guangzhou.

This point, He Wuyu and Emperor Longwu tacitly understood it, and their hearts were like mirrors.

"If you govern a big country and cook a small fresh, the saint has worked hard in the past few years, but he is inevitably in a hurry, so he will cause today's catastrophe, after the city of Guilin is broken, the whole territory of Guangxi will soon fall into the hands of the western thieves, it's a pity! It's a pity that ZTE's plan is in the water after all, and it is just empty. The flames and smoke in the direction of Guilin have not stopped, but it is much smaller than the previous two days, indicating that the Western Army has controlled the situation, and the order of people's livelihood inside and outside Guilin is gradually being restored.

"Yuanfu is a big fallacy! If Your Majesty flees all the way east, ignoring the two Guangchuan, the southern provinces may immediately fall apart, and only by moving Guangzhou and preparing for war can the building be tilted! Wang Kun saw that He Wusu had the intention of retreating, he couldn't help but be anxious and angry, and his voice suddenly increased by three points, he and the Southern Party were political allies, but at the critical moment He Wusu wanted to shrink back. Didn't you sell him?

"The edifice will fall, and there will be no civil unrest. Where the Holy Driver goes should be determined by the Holy Judgment! I wait. If we are half-hearted, I am afraid that it will really make the court doomed. He Wuyu's expression was awe-inspiring, and he paused and said: "Now the situation is chaotic, it's good not to do it, and it's wrong to do more, you and I don't have military power in our hands, so it's better to brake quietly." ”

"This ......" Wang Kun originally wanted to persuade He Wusu with a belly full of words, but suddenly he was deflated, and He Wusu said the crux of the problem. Civil officials and eunuchs did not have military power in their hands, so how could they "persuade" Emperor Longwu and the Manchu civil and military to go to Guangzhou?

In troubled times, big fists are the last word, Emperor Longwu and the Southern Party can't beat others militarily, and it's useless to play tricks politically.

The first-class civilian clique of the Southern Party does not directly control the army, so it can only go with the flow and wait for the right time to launch it, and the only one who has the capital to compete with Zhou Guodong and Tan Xiao is Emperor Longwu himself. In the battle of Guangxi, although the Longwu army suffered heavy losses, the emaciated camels were larger than the horses. There were still a number of troops loyal to him, the strongest of which was the tens of thousands of Qinwang's army that had rushed from Fujian to eastern Guangxi. At least in terms of troops, they far surpassed Zhou Guodong and Tan Xiao......

After Emperor Longwu and his entourage escaped from Guilin, they turned back in three steps and retreated in the direction of Huguang, under the continuous pursuit and persecution of the Western Army. He withdrew from Lingchuan County to Lingqu, and then along Lingqu to Xing'an County. Soon he withdrew from Xing'an County and continued to retreat north, arriving in Layueli. The temporary "court in exile" on this ship had already reached the vicinity of Quanzhou, less than 100 miles from the Hunan and Guizhou borders.

As the distance lengthened, the Western Army, which had been closely following behind the buttocks, was finally thrown off, they were unfamiliar with the place, and there was no sailor, and they did not dare to chase too alone and deeply...... Liu Wenxiu was cautious in his use of troops, seeing that Emperor Longwu was always dangling in front of him but he couldn't eat it, it was clearly a carrot that lured a donkey, and then he didn't pay attention to it, and after capturing Lingchuan County, he ordered the main force not to advance lightly, and only sent a small group of elite troops to chase after him, and the army adjusted its deployment in time to seize other strategic points in Guangxi.

In this, there is a bit of a desire to indulge.

Before and after Laba, Liu Wenxiu had pacified most of Guilin Mansion, and sent troops to attack Pingle Mansion at the junction of Hunan, Guizhou and Guangdong, and it seemed that he would move east into Guangdong at any time, and at the same time he might go south to occupy the entire territory of Guangxi, but in silence, he kept staring coldly at the direction of Quanzhou and Emperor Longwu who stayed there......

After temporarily getting rid of the danger, Emperor Longwu's "court in exile" was somewhat settled.

Emperor Longwu has a special identity, just like a super magnet with super strong suction, these days in addition to attracting the pursuit of the Western Army, the remnants of the defeated soldiers who were scattered and the civil and military officials, the princes and nobles have also chased to Quanzhou, because there are many dead and injured relatives and relatives, the city of Quanzhou is full of sad and sad crying every day, and in the past, the high-ranking officials and nobles who were like a good temperament are also like ants on a hot pot, full of confusion and confusion about the unknown future.

"More than 20,000 remnants of the army are trapped in a county, it is by no means a long-term solution, Your Majesty should set the direction as soon as possible, and send it out of Quanzhou in batches as soon as possible, otherwise the army of Western thieves will chase and kill, our army wants to fight but can't fight, want to go but can't go, just like Liu Xuande took more than 100,000 people to Jiangling, all captured by Cao Agui's 5,000 tiger and leopard cavalry!" Du Yinxi had just rushed back from the front line, and before he had time to change his clothes and bathe, he boarded the ship to face the saint and meet Emperor Longwu, and his robe was stained with dust.

In the battle of Guilin, the same heavy losses of plugging Yinxi, but this army is the elite soldiers who have fought with the Qing army many times, and they have not been defeated all at once.

Emperor Longwu's brows twitched twice, and he glanced at Pang Tianshou, who was standing beside him, and asked, "Muyou is so anxious, isn't the defense of Xing'an City unstable?" ”

"It's not just unstable!" Du Yinxi sighed heavily and said: "Liu Wenxiu has been resting in Lingchuan for more than ten days, constantly mobilizing grain and straw, collecting people's boats, and will definitely lead a large army to chase and kill again within three or five days, and the small county of Xing'an will not be able to resist it, and most of the whole state will also fall!" ”

Emperor Longwu is still in Guilin Mansion, and there is only one Xing'an County separated from tens of thousands of Western troops, if Xing'an can't hold it, he must make plans early, even if he himself stays for a few more days to see the direction of the wind, at least he must send those civil officials and their families away first.

But where exactly is it sent? Emperor Longwu had not yet made up his mind.

Where the emperor will move is related to all aspects, and it is a very sensitive issue, if the news leaks in order to send away the civil officials and family members, it is difficult to say whether those arrogant generals will take drastic measures, such as Zhou Guodong and Tan Xiao of the Chu army.
