Fu Shangrui suggested giving up Changsha, He Tengjiao's face was pale, and he hesitated for a while.

It is a wise move for a strong man to break his wrist, but giving up Changsha is not a matter of cutting off a hand, but losing an arm and unloading a thigh, which can even be regarded as a high paraplegic...... Changsha Mansion is the provincial capital of Huguang and the economic and political center of Hunan, He Tengjiao has been operating here for more than two years, and all kinds of yamen institutions can barely operate normally.

Strange things, all blame that Wang Kefan led the wolf into the room and led the Tartar into Hunan, He Tengjiao's heart was full of hatred, but at this time, the civil and military officials under him quarreled.

Cao Zhijian is one of the warlords in Hunan, but he has always regarded himself as a Confucian general, and he is the one who speaks: "Fu Junmen's words are wrong, Changsha is the head of Sanxiang, how can he easily fight the enemy, and he should defend the key points and fight to the death with the Tartars......"

Fu Shangrui smiled coldly and interrupted his high-minded talk: "Divide the important points? Okay, where are you going to keep? Liuyang River or Yuelu Mountain? Or coexist and die with Changsha City? ”

Cao Zhijian was speechless for a while, but Liu Chengyin, another Hunan warlord, smiled angrily: "Hehe, the soldiers under the command of the superintendent are strong and strong, which round will get Lao Cao out?" The Tartar army has entered Hunan, and we must also guard our own flood land! ”

"Since you don't want to send troops, what kind of big cloves of garlic do you pretend? It's not Lao Tzu in front, can we still talk here? Wang Jincai arched his hand towards He Tengjiao: "I have been on the top of the Miluo River for three days, and my men have suffered thousands of casualties. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out for long, please make a decision as soon as possible and leave Changsha as soon as possible! ”

Hao Shaoqi interjected coldly: "Yes." Some people don't have a backache when they stand and talk, they just want others to die in front of them, and they don't want to think about whether the Tartars will let you go after we beat the light? ”

Among He Tengjiao's descendants, Wang Jincai and Hao Shaoqi are the strongest, and since the two of them have expressed their positions, Lu Ding, Dong Ying, Wang Yuncai and other civil and military generals echoed their words together. quarreled with the local warlords in Hunan.

The Hunan warlords also had a large army leader, Huang Chaoxuan, who was entrenched in the swallow's nest in Youxian County, and saw Cao Zhijian and Liu Chengyin besieged. Hurriedly jumped out and pulled the fight: "What Lao Cao and Lao Liu said is actually not bad, even if Changsha doesn't want it, you can't give up Hunan to the Tartars, what's the point of us arguing here?" In the end, whether to defend Changsha or not. You have to listen to He Dufu's idea! ”

Only then did the civil and military officials turn their heads together. Yin Yin looked at He Tengjiao, hoping that he would make a decision that was beneficial to him.

Suddenly, He Tengjiao's heart felt extremely irritable, although these people were fighting each other, they were all thinking about themselves, and no one was going to solve his problems.

When faced with failure, ordinary people do not necessarily hate their enemies, but they hate their partners. Thinking that they were the culprits of the failure, He Tengjiao admitted that he had worked hard in the past two years. But raising a group of white-eyed wolves who refuse to repay the favor, these familiar faces are so hateful, how come they have never found out before?

Death to death, everyone dies together!

He Tengjiao was silent for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice: "Just follow Fu Junmen's wishes, the Changsha military, government, civil and military retreat to Hengyang on the same day, and temporarily avoid the Tartar soldiers......"

For He Tengjiao, it is not difficult to make the decision to give up Changsha, it is incredible to stick to Changsha, although the Huguang battle situation is very dangerous, but it has not yet reached the most desperate moment, and only by preserving strength can there be a chance to turn around...... Since he has been dragged into the water by Wang Kefan, he will pull the other Hunan warlords on his back, and even take the opportunity to cut off dissidents, if Changsha Mansion is occupied by the Qing army, Hengzhou Mansion, Baoqing Mansion, and Chenzhou Mansion have all become the front line, and Cao Zhijian, Liu Chengyin, and Huang Chaoxuan will not be able to escape.

……

Niu Yan took apart his name, assumed the pseudonym Wang Shuangren, and left it in the army of Xiong Lichun, a volunteer soldier in Ningzhou.

Xiong Lichun has different ambitions, but has been suffering from the lack of talents under his subordinates, seeing that Niu Yan talked well and started to recruit, Niu Yan after a few days of observation, but also found that Xiong Lichun and ordinary bandits are different, no wonder Wang Kefan can be entrusted with a heavy task, leading an army in the Makufu Mountains, but from all kinds of signs, Xiong Lichun and Wang Kefan are actually inseparable......

After repeated temptation and communication, Niu Yan successfully promoted himself, won Xiong Lichun's appreciation and trust, and became the number one celebrity around him.

In the middle of the night, Xiong Lichun was having a long talk with Niu Yan.

Niu Yan to the army in just ten days of work, showing a strong management skills, especially very good at government logistics, ordinary scholars do not have this kind of ability, Xiong Lichun has a strong suspicion of his origin, under some interrogation, Niu Yan actually bluntly told his life experience.

"Although Wang Junmen has pardoned Zaixia, but my Niu family and the loyal battalion Li Guo's feud is as deep as the sea, if General Xiong wants to please Xingguohou, please bind me to Changde and make meritorious contributions, and I will never frown in Xia!" Niu Yan's words were very honorable, but his heart was uneasy, when he surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, he was not a white ding, but the Xiangyang Mansion Yin of the Great Shun Dynasty, if he was sent to the loyalty camp, he would be beheaded as a traitor 100%.

"Mr. Niu is really a gentleman, my old bear admires!" Xiong Lichun gave a thumbs up, ordered his subordinates to take wine and food and put them on the table, and drank three cups with Niu Yan: "Wang Junmen has pardoned you, how can my old bear be a traitor to his friends and seek glory?" You just stay in our army in a down-to-earth manner, if you feel inconvenient, you will still call yourself Wang Shuangren to the outside world, and don't pay attention to Li Guo's house. ”

Niu Yan has been a prefect, a grain storage road, is a genuine talent, Xiong Lichun and the loyalty camp have nothing to do with each other, there is no need to pat their ass, after hearing the true identity of Niu Yan, he made up his mind to keep him in Ningzhou.

After the two shared a secret, the relationship quickly became closer, and now they pushed the cup and changed the lamp, each describing their life aspirations, and the words were extraordinarily speculative, Xiong Lichun and Niu Yan took advantage of the wine to comment on the general trend of the world, quite a bit Liu Bei first saw Zhuge Kongming, and the monarch and the minister were right.

"I've been in Ningzhou for more than ten days, although the mountains in Mufu are good, but the pattern is too small after all, if there is chaos today, it is the time for heroes to meet, does General Xiong have other plans?"

"I don't lack ambitions, but it's all cranky, I can't take it seriously, hehe, my old bear is a small business, I can't afford to win or lose, and I don't dare to move when I'm not sure!" Xiong Lichun didn't want to win the championship, he just wanted to win a set of glory and wealth in the troubled times, like Sanshun Wang and Shun Gong, it was very good, but there was a life-and-death national war between the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was not clear who could win in the end, Xiong Lichun had never dared to act rashly.

Niu Yan said lightly: "It's easy to put the icing on the cake, it's difficult to send charcoal in the snow, General Xiong bets too late, I'm afraid he won't be able to win a lot of money." ”

This is obviously something to say, and deliberately holding the shelf, Xiong Lichun was thoughtful, and immediately poured him a glass of wine, and said respectfully: "Ben will not be able to see the general trend of the world clearly, and please teach me Mr. Niu!" ”

"Ordinary people think that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has swept the world, and the Southern Ming Dynasty is trapped in a corner, and it is difficult to fight against it, but in the eyes of Niu someone, now I am afraid that I want to follow the example of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the defeat across the river, and you and I will not see the result in our lives."

Niu Yan picked up the wine glass and drank it dry, and then leaned heavily on the table: "In the troubled times, there are soldiers who are the king of grass, General Xiong should be Bo, if he wins the bet, he will naturally soar into the sky, even if he loses the bet, he is not afraid, as long as the general holds the soldiers and horses in his hand, he will have a chance to turn over in the future!" ”

Xiong Lichun smiled: "I really don't hide it from Mr. Niu, I have received no less than twenty or thirty letters of persuasion in the past six months, including Jin Shenghuan, Luo Xiujin, and even Hong Chengchou wrote a handwritten letter......

"No!" Niu Yan shook his head again and again: "Since you want to gamble, you have to be small and big, General Xiong has surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty now, at most he is a third-grade general, he is driven by others in the army, and the elite of his subordinates is exhausted, which poor country will you kick you to, and what is the difference between it and now?" ”

Xiong Lichun nodded: "It is indeed fast to be promoted in the Ming Dynasty, but I always feel that it is not practical in my heart, the rabbit's tail can't grow, in case the Ming Dynasty dies in a few years, it will be a dead end at that time!" ”

Niu Yan smiled and said: "Except for the immortals of the unknown prophet, who can know what will happen in the future?" When everything falls out, it's too late, it's best to get on the boat and watch it first, and jump as soon as the boat capsizes, it's no big deal. ”

Xiong Lichun thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Niu thinks who can win the battle of Huguang?" Ming or Tartar? ”

"I can't say this well, but after the battle of Huangzhou Mansion, I saw the strength of the Chu army, Kong Youde is afraid that he still doesn't understand, and sooner or later he will have to suffer a big loss. The Eight Banners Brigade is known as invincible in the world, this statement is somewhat exaggerated, don't say that the Chu army of Wang Junmen, even if the elite of the Green Battalion really gives it a go, it may not be able to fight with the Eight Banners. ”

Niu Yan thought for a while, and then said: "Besides, the war in Huguang is stalemate, and it is inevitable that it will be affected by other places, Jiangxi, Fujian, Shanxi, these provinces have not been at peace recently, after the Haoge class division returns to the dynasty, there will be a dragon and tiger fight with Dolgon, no matter who wins or loses in this battle, the Manchu Qing will be greatly injured, and they will not want to reinforce Huguang in a year or two." ”

"Mr. Niu, listen to what you mean, Jiangxi may have changed recently!?" Xiong Lichun was surprised.

"It's hard to say." Niu Yan shook his head: "Jin Shenghuan is a thief who is difficult to get rid of, unruly, and Jiangxi Governor Zhang Yutian, and Dong Xuecheng, the governor of Jiangxi, have a very stiff quarrel...... Otherwise, Ningzhou is only a few hundred miles away from Nanchang Mansion, why didn't he come to kill you? (To be continued......)
