Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment, listening to Hong Chengchou's tone, it seemed that Doni didn't see that he really had a hidden feeling, and couldn't help but be a little nervous: "The students are also puzzled by this matter, and they also ask the teacher to teach them." ”

Under Wu Sangui's nervous gaze, Hong Chengchou hesitated, and said: "King Xin just received an urgent report of eight hundred miles today, and Prince Jian's army over there in Guangdong has been wiped out. ”

"Ahh

This news made Wu Sangui stunned, and he couldn't believe it: Jidu's more than 20,000 people and horses were wiped out in Guangdong?

"Is the news true?"

Wu Sangui's heart "pounced" straight up, just as he heard in Shaanxi that Prince Nikan died in battle. Although Nikan was defeated and died, most of the Manchurian soldiers under his command were preserved, but this time the prince of Guangdong was wiped out along with the army, which made him feel shocked and frightened, but more than that, it was unbelievable.

"Such a big thing, do you think it will be fake?"

"This"

Wu Sangui's heart was shocked, and his face was uncertain, could it be that Zhu Ming really shouldn't die, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Guizhou here just to give Nanming the final blow, and the Ming army in Guangdong over there actually annihilated the Jidu army with a backhand.

After a moment, he calmed down the shock in his heart and asked Hong Chengchou: "But what did the Zheng family of Jinxia and Guangdong Taiping Kou do together?" ”

Hong Chengchou shook his head: "The Zheng family did not join forces with the Taiping Kou, and Prince Jian's army of more than 20,000 was wiped out by the Taiping Army?" ”

"How is this possible!"

Wu Sangui almost jumped up in fright, if the Jinxia Zheng family and the Taiping army joined forces to defeat Jidu, although he was also shocked. But it can be grudgingly accepted. After all, the Jinxia Zheng family is strong, no worse than Li Dingguo, and the boat master is the first in the world. The Qing Dynasty's national strength was not as good as his. If the Zheng family and the Taiping army join forces, Jidu will rush south from Fujian into Guangdong, the Taiping army is in front, the Zheng family is behind, and there are more than 20,000 troops under Jidu's command, which is not as strong as the combined attack of these two families, and defeat is not impossible. But now Hong Chengchou said that the Zheng family did not participate in this battle. The Jidu army was completely defeated by the Taiping army, and if this is true, it means that Nanming has produced a capable and powerful Guangdong thief Xiu in addition to Li Dingguo in Yunnan and Zheng Chenggong in Jinxia.

That thief show is how to train soldiers. So how did Taipingkou fight so well?

With the defeat of Jidu, Taiping Kou will be able to enter Fujian immediately, and if he joins forces with the Jinxia Zheng family, the southeast will be in an emergency. The imperial court in order to solve the crisis in the southeast. It is definitely necessary to transfer troops from the southwest to reinforce. Otherwise, sitting back and watching the Ming army restore the southeast, not only will the world shake, but the hundreds of thousands of troops in the southwest will also be cut off from the grain route, unable to hold it for a long time, and will even be trapped in the southwest and unable to be transferred, then the Ming Dynasty is afraid that it will really be able to prosper! If the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, it will not end well

Wu Sangui was frightened in his heart, and the sudden change in the situation made him speechless for a while.

Hong Chengchou was silent when he saw Wu Sangui. Break the silence with a voice.

"Sangui, what are you thinking?"

"The students didn't think about anything."

"You really didn't think about anything?"

"Why does the teacher have to ask the student to say it?"

Wu Sangui smiled bitterly. Of course, he was thinking about things in his heart, but if he wanted to bluntly say that he was afraid of the Taiping Army, worried about the changes in the situation, afraid that Zhu Ming would really continue his life again, and afraid that he would not end well in the future, he couldn't say anything.

Hong Chengchou also smiled bitterly, and then said to Sangui: "You don't have to think about whether Zhu Ming is not exhausted, you just need to know that you and I have no way back now." ”

Wu Sangui nodded slightly: "What the teacher said is true." After a pause, he said tentatively: "Guangdong is defeated, is the imperial court going to transfer troops from the southwest to save the southeast?" ”

Hong Chengchou didn't answer him, but said: "The saint has sent a secret decree and asked us how long it will take us to attack Kunming and capture Zhu Youlang." ”

"The terrain of Yunnan is complicated, the Ming army still has tens of thousands of people, although Li Dingguo was defeated twice by the students, but the strength of his headquarters has not been broken, I am afraid it will be difficult to distinguish the winner in the short term."

The old man thinks the same, if the old man sees it, there is a police in the southeast, and there will be no major changes in the short term. The imperial court can ask the southeast to hold on first, and after we have pacified Yunnan, hundreds of thousands of troops will return to the southeast with the momentum of destroying the country, and the Taiping Kou or the Zheng family can be worthy of a few blows from us. What's more, after capturing Zhu Youlang, the son of heaven, whether it is a thief Xiucai or Zheng Sen, they are all ownerless and lonely ministers. Throughout the ages, can there be a lonely minister who can do things? ”

"Not really."

Hong Chengchou's words made Wu Sangui feel at ease, yes, no matter whether the southeast is in danger or not, as long as Yunnan is leveled here and Yongli is captured, this Zhu Ming will die if he does not die.

"What did King Shin say?"

"King Shin?" The corners of Hong Chengchou's mouth grinned slightly, revealing a bit of sneer, "What he is worried about now is not the instability of the southeast, but whether he will become the third prince to be mourned since the founding of the Qing Dynasty." ”

"Believe in him?" Wu Sangui's mouth opened slightly, is Doni really so unbearable?

Hong Chengchou knew what he thought, and sighed slightly: "After all, he is young." ”

Wu Sangui nodded, Doni didn't go through the battle formation, and it was normal for him to suddenly hear that Jidu was killed in battle, and he was afraid of losing his sense of proportion.

"If the imperial court transfers troops back to the southeast, the southwest soldiers and horses will be weak, and if it is not smooth to enter Yunnan, won't it be a failure?" Wu Sangui said with some worry.

"The old man should advise the saint that he must not transfer troops from the southwest."

"What if the imperial court has to transfer troops from the southwest?"

"Then we must hurry up and enter Yunnan, and we must pacify Yunnan this year!"

"If you enter Yunnan immediately according to what the teacher said, then the students will inevitably become pioneers, but the students are afraid that they will not be able to do anything and miss the big thing. Can the teacher think of a foolproof plan for the students, which can not only calm Yunnan, but also ensure that the students will not suffer too many casualties? ”

Hong Chengchou glanced at Wu Sangui, and suddenly sneered: "You can't have both fish and bear's paws!" ”

Wu Sangui's face turned red, and he said in a low voice: "The student is afraid that something will happen wrong, and there will be a big change in the southeast, if Zhu Ming really gasps, the student will definitely die and have no place to be buried." ”

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou sneered even more: "You have no place to be buried, and the old man has it?" ”

Wu Sangui was sluggish, still a little unwilling, just now Hong Chengchou also taught him to raise thieves and self-respect, but in the blink of an eye, he wanted to force him into Yunnan, which is unreasonable. He couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Hong Chengchou's gourd, so he had to kneel down again, and said sincerely: "The teacher can have two ways, if there is, please ask the teacher to save me, and the student will repay the teacher's great kindness every day." ”

"King Pingxi is serious, in this world, no one can save anyone, but no one can do without anyone." Hong Chengchou seems to have changed his mind and is unwilling to help this student.

"The teacher really doesn't want to save me?" Wu Sangui was a little confused.

"The old man really has nothing to teach you, alas, the old man is tired, so go and rest first." Hong Chengchou didn't want to talk to Wu Sangui anymore, so he got up and walked outside the house.

Wu Sangui was stunned and was about to step forward to send it, but Hong Chengchou waved his hand and said, "You don't have to send it." ”

Wu Sangui was helpless, watching Hong Chengchou leave, and sat on the chair where Hong Chengchou was sitting with some loss, thinking about the sudden change in the situation, his heart was inevitably anxious. I couldn't settle down, so I got up and wanted to go outside for a walk, but when I stood up, my head turned away, but I found that there were words on the table!

Wu Sangui was startled, leaned over to look, but it was the words "coercing the Son of Heaven". These three words were obviously written by Hong Chengchou, and they were stained with the water in the tea bowl. This handwriting is a little light, if Wu Sangui doesn't pay attention, I'm afraid it will be done in a while.

Hold the Son of Heaven hostage?

Wu Sangui was stunned. (To be continued.) )
