Plug Yinxi, the word Zhongxian, the number of herdsmen, Mingshenzong Wanli people, born in Yixing County, Changzhou in the south of Zhili, Chongzhen ten years of Jinshi, the official to the prefect of Changsha, every time the bandits in the territory of the rebellion, several defeated officers and soldiers, plug Yinxi led the township Yongping, captured its leader and beheaded it, the name of the soldier has been spread far and wide, and he was promoted to the governor of Huguang. During the period, the honest son C of the countryside was selected to train into an army, named the "gentleman's battalion", which was relied on, and all battles must be in front, known as a strong army.

When Emperor Longwu of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Blocking Yinxi entered the enemy camp alone, relying on his enthusiasm, he successfully persuaded Li Guo, Gao Yigong and other remnants of the king to return to the Ming court, and more than 300,000 people were included in the camp of the blocking army. After Emperor Yongli succeeded to the throne, he blocked Yinxi as Guanghua Bo, entered the Dongge University Scholar, and the military department was still in the book, and the scenery was infinite.

Wang Huan heard these news from Wang Yingxiong's mouth, 1510, and had an intuitive understanding of Du Yinxi's life and past, and at the same time, Wang Yingxiong also learned from Wang Huan's mouth the real reason why he left Zhaoqing in a hurry.

The old man's face became pale with a "brush", and his eyebrows and beard were shaking, partly because of extreme anger and half due to extreme fear.

"Uncle Pingliang, confused!" Wang Yingxiong looked angry and unhappy, and said sadly: "That Li Yuanyin, is the son of Li Chengdong, he followed his father to fight in the army when he was a teenager, and his feelings are very deep. ”

While speaking, Wang Yingxiong couldn't help shaking his head, sighed for a while, and added sadly: "The old man has sent a lot of silver to marry Li Chengdong during this time. ”

Wang Huan squinted at him, seeing that his beard was gray, and his heart said that half of his body was in the ground, and he actually told me about his future, he died last year in the official history, but he didn't know that I saved his life. So he said with a smile: "Governor Wang, I see that you are angry and offended the court, and the heartache is big, right?" ”

Wang Yingxiong stroked his beard and glared: "Where does Pingliang Bo say, is this governor the layman who loves all things?" The sage said......"

Wang Huan interrupted him: "Governor Wang's ups and downs in the sea, he should know the truth that people are good at being bullied and horses are good at being ridden, and blindly retreating, in this era of weak R and strong food, it will only make people think that you are easy to bully, but do not put you in his eyes, Li Yuanyin secretly assassinated the two of us in front, and did not use thunder to counterattack, there is definitely a bigger killing move behind, whether you and I can leave Guangdong alive is unknown." Although the general has formed a grudge with the Li family and the party since then, in the long run, it has made the Manchu dynasty realize that you and I are not the clay Bodhisattvas, let others take care of it, and the status of your king and governor is not higher? ”

Wang Yingxiong pondered carefully, as if it was like that, so he laughed a few times and said: "This, this, in the future, it is best for Pingliangbo to inform the governor in advance of this kind of thing, and it is always good to discuss everything with many people." ”

Wang Huan smiled, ignoring the meaning of his words, and just changed the topic and asked: "Walking more than a hundred miles ahead, you are about to enter the boundary of Jingzhou, which is the territory of the governor of Huguang to block Yinxi, can Governor Wang be familiar with this person?" ”

Wang Yingxiong got up proudly, revealing an expression of "It turns out that your cow * boy also needs an old man", twisted his beard with one hand, and said in an unfathomable manner: "Familiar!" Of course familiar! This governor has been an official for decades, whether it is Emperor Hongguang, Emperor Longwu, or now Emperor Yongli, the officialdom who comes and goes is so many people, who doesn't recognize it? When Du Yinxi was not the prefect of Changsha, the old man had already entered the court to serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he had to call the old man an adult! ”

Wang Huan listened, laughed, and stroked his palms: "So excellent, Governor Wang, we must deal with it when we cross the border, I'm afraid that the news of the court will be transmitted quickly, and when we arrive at his territory, the court messenger has already arrived. ”

Wang Yingxiong was suddenly suffocated, half loud and speechless, the secret cowhide was blown up, in fact, the deal with Plug Yinxi, Wang Yingxiong is only limited to a few faces, far from deep friendship, at this moment Wang Huan and he are the target of the public, the court may have a will, to take the two of them back to face the king, at this time to see Plug Yinxi, in case this person does not give face, directly meet the knife and axe hand, tied up and sent to Beijing, it will be a big loss.

So I was trying to find an excuse to excuse myself, but I heard Wang Huan say again: "If Governor Wang doesn't go, then Wang can only drive the army to go first, Governor Wang is noble, and he can't be as solid as a martial artist like me, so he has to walk slowly behind, this mountain forest is infested with strongmen, bandits are rampant, Governor Wang has to be careful." ”

When Wang Yingxiong heard this, he was going to leave Lao Tzu behind, it was too poisonous, and he was afraid, and hurriedly said: "Go, why don't you go?" Ping Liangbo can rest assured, and see how the old man can persuade the Yinxi to get out of the way with his three-inch tongue. ”

Wang Huan smiled, showed a mouthful of white teeth and said: "In this case, without further ado, please ask Governor Wang to go on the road immediately, and go to see Gu Yinxi before the army, and I will send someone to escort the lord." ”

Saying that, Wang Huan summoned Liu Yun and ordered him to take two hundred-person teams to escort Wang Yingxiong first, and go straight to the Changde area where Du Yinxi is now stationed to find Du Yinxi. Wang Yingxiong secretly complained in his heart, but the cowhide that was blown out always had to be cashed out, and in desperation, he reluctantly followed Liu Yun and turned back step by step.

When they walked away, Li Dingguo rode his horse close to Wang Huan's side, looked at Wang Yingxiong's departing figure with a solemn face, and asked in a deep voice: "My lord, Wang Yingxiong is going, are you sure?" ”

Wang Huan groaned for a while, and then shook his head slightly: "Plugging Yinxi and Li Chengdong are not in the same party, so it stands to reason that we shouldn't help him, but this person is known for his loyalty, and I am afraid that he will be stubborn when he sees the will, and we still have to be ready to fight!" ”

Li Dingguo nodded, comprehending.

The Kuizhou army continued to move forward, maintaining a steady pace of sixty miles a day, and every thirty miles, they stopped to let the war horses rest, feed the grass and drink, and maintain their physical strength in case of war.

Walking like this for two days, on the third day, when the sun was high, Wang Huan set off with the cavalry early in the morning, walked for a while, and at noon was hiding in the shade of a cool tree to rest, eat and drink, and prepare to wait for the sun to be a little less poisonous, and then it was not too late to walk, but he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the road ahead.

Li Dingguo accompanied Wang Huan, stood up when he heard the sound, listened carefully, and did not hear the warning whistle from the dark post in front, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and the dark whistle did not make a sound, indicating that it was not the enemy army who came.

Wang Huan sat calmly on the stone and gnawed on a piece of dry cake without moving, the dry cake had no filling, and it was so hard that Wang Yingxiong's eyes were about to bulge out every time he ate, but Wang Huan gnawed it with relish, and swallowed it slowly with boiling water.

Li Dingguo pressed his sword and left for a while, then turned back after a short rest, bringing back a team of dusty and tired people.

If you take a closer look, it turned out to be Liu Yun, Wang Yingxiong and others who left two days ago.

Wang Yingxiong was covered with soil, he was almost unable to see his true colors in a purple foreign suit, his face was haggard, his expression was panicked, and he seemed to have been greatly stimulated, panting vigorously.

Wang Huan looked at him, waved his hand directly before he spoke, asked Li Dingguo to send someone to take him down to rest and drink water, and then looked at Liu Yun.

Liu Yun's face was covered with sweat, he was covered in armor, fully armed, knelt down on one knee, and reported to Wang Huan in a hoarse voice: "My lord, there is an enemy situation ahead!" ”

Wang Huan's face tightened, put down the dry cake and asked solemnly, "What kind of enemy!?" ”

Liu Yun licked his chapped lips, pushed away a water bladder handed by a personal guard, and responded eagerly: "The last general escorted Governor Wang to Changde, and in the past two days, he has been speeding up his horse and whipping up his horse for two days, and he has stayed overnight, and he does not dare to delay for a moment. So I stopped to ask, and after asking, I learned an urgent news! ”

Wang Huan had already sat up straight, his brows furrowed, listening carefully to every word Liu Yun said, his eyes did not blink, and he was extremely serious.

"There are Tartars! Li Maozu, the governor of Tartar Guangxi, Yu Shizhong, Ma Jiaolin, etc., led an army of 30,000 troops to make a detour from Luxi, bypassing the Changde line, and from the Benchenzhou and Baoqing lines, to copy and block Yinxi's back road to relieve the siege of Changsha! Liu Yun finished telling the news he heard in one breath, and his throat was about to smoke, so he took the water bladder and drank loudly.

Wang Huan stood up from the stone, and only after Liu Yun drank the water did he ask in a deep voice, "How far is the Tartar from here?" ”

Liu Yun wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and replied: "Baoqing Mansion City has been besieged by the Tartars, and it can be taken down every day, and the Mansion City is only a hundred miles away from this moment. ”

Wang Huan and Li Dingguo listened, glanced at each other, and both sensed the coming danger from each other's eyes.
