With the improvement of the war situation in Huguang, Du Yinxi and others put forward an ambitious plan, attacking the four provinces of Xiangyang with the loyal battalion, and seizing important passes such as Wusheng Pass, cutting off the connection between Henan and Hubei, attacking Huangzhou Mansion with Hunan official troops, cutting off the connection between Jiangxi and Hubei, turning Wuchang Mansion into an isolated city, and trapping the tens of thousands of troops of Luck Dehun there.

Tactically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this plan, but Wang Kefan is not optimistic.

Clearing the perimeter, gradually compressing, cutting off supplies, and besieging for a long time are common means of attacking fortified cities, but with the strength of Huguang Province, it is difficult to support such a long-term large-scale battle. If tens of thousands of Qing troops were besieged in Wuchang Mansion, the Manchu Qing would definitely send the elite of the Eight Banners to rescue them, and the scale of this battle would become bigger and bigger, exceeding the control ability of the Huguang Ming army.

Strategically speaking, the biggest gap between the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties is here. The Qing army was an organic whole, one point was attacked, and reinforcements came from all sides, while the army of the Southern Ming Dynasty was scattered, no matter how critical the situation was, no one could count on the Ming army in Huguang.

In addition, there is another important issue that cannot be avoided, He Tengjiao's troops are too poor in combat effectiveness, and the chain will definitely fall at a critical moment, as long as the encirclement is opened, all the hard work and sacrifices in front will be in vain.

Although he is not optimistic, he still has to cooperate and cooperate, Wang Kefan conscientiously carried out his task, led the Gongyi battalion to constantly attack the south side of the Qing army, uprooted the outlying strongholds of Wuchang Mansion, and why Tengjiao's main force went north to clear the way.

The terrain of Xianning was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Wang Kefan temporarily evaded, led the troops to turn to the northwest, and attacked Jiayu County on the bank of the Yangtze River. (Xianning is the southern gate of the Three Towns of Wuhan, where the Battle of Tingsi Bridge and the Battle of Hesheng Bridge in the Northern Expedition took place.) ）

The Gongyi camp camped five miles south of Jiayu City, and then built a platform and dug tunnels. Transporting the coffin filled with gunpowder to the city wall, Hua Xiaoyue went to the Dharma platform to urge the spell, invited the Marshal Wulei to help, and a thunderbolt fell from the sky to blow up the Jiayu city wall on the spot!

In the Gongyi battalion, more than 200 Daye miners under the Twist Zi formed an independent army, and the work of digging tunnels to blow up the city wall was undertaken by them. Invite the gods to come down to help in the battle, and the soldiers are all demoralized, shouting in unison and rushing into Jiayu City.

The green battalion soldiers stationed in the city were stunned, and those who were not stunned were also stupid, and they were stunned one by one. Tied up, after being captured, his face was still full of awe. Remorse should not forget the ancestors and take refuge in the Tartars. caused God to be angry, and was struck by lightning.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, the Jiayu County Commander and the Green Battalion Commander fled from the county seat in a hurry, and were captured by the cavalry of the Gongyi Battalion. And once again reiterated the policy of the Gongyi battalion to the captives - resist to the end and resolutely exterminate!

When the gentry and people of Jiayu saw the return of the Ming Dynasty, they all welcomed them and enthusiastically donated money. In addition to expressing his gratitude, Wang Kefan bluntly told them that the Ming army could withdraw at any time, and the amount of money donated was arbitrary...... Although these gentry and ordinary people were forced to shave their heads, most of them were sympathetic to and supported the Ming army, and as soldiers, they could not protect their safety, so they did not have the right to accuse them of enduring humiliation and stealing their lives.

After moving the granaries of the feudal treasury in the city, Wang Kefan rested for two days and set off with his army, preparing to bypass the danger of Tingsi Bridge and attack Xianning from the flank. The troops had just left the city for ten miles, and suddenly encountered a messenger hurrying from Changsha Mansion, bringing an order signed by He Tengjiao himself.

"After investigation, Wang Ruizhong, the former official of Datong Mansion, died in April of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and his son Wang Kefan Ding returned to his hometown, temporarily removed the military affairs of the Gongyi Battalion, and gave him a leave ......of absence for 100 days."

All the generals of the Gongyi camp were stunned!

Ding is worried, that is, to go home and keep filial piety, Wang Kefan has no mental preparation.

The ancients put filial piety first, and they had to leave their posts to keep filial piety in case of parental funeral, and civil officials were generally three years old, and they were directly removed from all positions.

Wang Rui is Wang Kefan's father, the former official of Datong Mansion, since Chongzhen lost news in the seventeenth year, there has been no news for nearly two years, and suddenly the news of his death came...... But the war against Luck Dehun is at a critical moment, and it is unreasonable to drive him home and sit on the cold bench at this time!

"Yuntai, this is a mess, don't pay attention to him!" Zhou Guodong was the first to be angry. Since ancient times, there has been no such thing as Ding Wei on the battlefield, otherwise the general would be halfway through the war and suddenly go home to guard his filial piety, wouldn't it be a big joke?

"Yes, I'll go to the He Military Gate together, ask for the life of Yuntai, and Mo Ji Congrong!" Wang Sheng's face is also very ugly, although he is a loyal gentleman, he can also see the smell of conspiracy and framing.

"Mo Congrong! Mo Silk Congrong! ”

Tan Xiao and other generals shouted together, they can't wear filial piety when fighting (white means surrender), so they wear black mourning clothes, which is the origin of Mo Xuan.

"Hehe, I'm afraid that He Junmen's plan has been decided, and this matter is irreparable!"

Wang Kefan stretched out his hand and pressed it, everyone immediately quieted down, he pondered for a moment, and said to Tan Xiao: "Give you three hundred cavalry, and Wang Meng will immediately rush back to Linxiang, and bring the Chengling Rock Water Division to the east of Dongting Lake. ”

In the Jiangnan region, the importance of the water division is self-evident, Wang Kefan has high hopes for the Chenglingji water division, but this army has not yet been transformed, and it is not completely in his hands, since He Tengjiao has taken away his military power, it is necessary to transfer this water division as soon as possible.

To the east of Dongting Lake, it is the territory of the loyal camp, no matter how long He Tengjiao's hand is, he can't reach there, and he took 10,000 steps back and said, even if this water division is eaten by Li Guo, it is much stronger than what was left for He Tengjiao.

"Since I have been in office for 100 days, the army should be headed by Wang Sheng, except for his generals' orders, even if He Junmen blocks the military gate in person, not a single soldier is allowed to be mobilized!"

Wang Kefan's tone gradually became stern, his gaze swept over everyone, and fell on Teng Shuanglin. Among the generals of the Gongyi battalion, Zhou Guodong, Lu Renqing and others have long followed loyally, and they are all his hardcore descendants, and only Teng Shuanglin has become another army, and there are unstable factors.

Teng, Teng Shuanglin knelt down and kowtowed heavily: "Teng Zisen doesn't dare to disobey General Wang's order!" ”

The look on his face was unusually solemn, Wang Kefan nodded and helped him up, but Teng Shuanglin had never been in shape, and in a blink of an eye, he joked again: "Hehe, I, Teng Shuanglin, am loyal to the great tomorrow, and I am loyal to General Yuntai, I have never known what to call Taifu by the name of He Junmen, I have never known ......"
