Wang Huaqiang warned him that if he had any thoughts of escaping back to his hometown halfway, he would go to his hometown in Guizhou after the counterinsurgency was completed, and kill him to the point that he would not be left behind, but if he was obedient and cooperative, he would ask the emperor for his credit in the future.

After Li Guangshi left, Wang Huaqiang quickly got in touch with Pei Shiju, who was still in Donghengzhou, and according to the confessions obtained by Li Guangshi and Zhou Shiju who was later interrogated, there were no large barbarian soldiers in the five or six hundred miles from Panyu to Shixing, so Wang Huaqiang was relieved.

On the one hand, Pei Shiju issued a document to Jiangzhou, asking the county order to take the people back to Shixing, and on the other hand, let Li Feng be in charge of logistics, and all the middle-aged men in Donghengzhou were incorporated into the militia and were responsible for the supply to the front line.

Pei Shiju originally wanted to leave hundreds of defenders to defend Donghengzhou, but Wang Huaqiang insisted that the big war was imminent, and the troops must not be divided, so Shixing and Donghengzhou did not leave a single soldier, but asked Liu Zicai to lead people to move all the weapons in the camp of Shixing and the barbarian army to Donghengzhou to help defend, and left Li Feng with two hundred spare crossbows for defense.

After spending two days to solve the problem in the rear, Wang Huaqiang led the army to continue to move forward, and the 3,000 Xiangzhou army almost completely wiped out the 20,000 army of Zhou Shiju in an undamaged state, and the morale was soaring, and they were reinforced.

Before you go. Wang Huaqiang also received good news. In the west of Panyu City, Mrs. Xian was in a position with the rebel Chen Fozhi's troops. After hearing the news of Feng Xuan's disappointment, Mrs. Xian was furious and sent her other grandson Feng Ang to the army with her own soldiers, and immediately seized Feng Xuan's military power, and then raided Chen Fozhi's army overnight.

Chen Fozhi and Feng Xuan's family staged a peaceful coexistence for several months, but this time they were caught off guard and defeated. I was also killed in the rebellion, and now Feng Ang led an army of 40,000 and drove outside Panyu City, approaching Wang Zhongxuan's rebels.

The good news came in a row, Wang Huaqiang also received news along the way, after Li Guangshi ran back, Wang Zhongxuan wanted to kill him on the spot, but Li Guangshi said that he came back to report the defeat of the Zhou division and let the army be prepared, and the three thousand heads made the more than 20 lords present beat drums in their hearts. muttered, Wang Zhongxuan just revealed a little intention to kill Li Guangshi. These people collectively pleaded for intercession, and in the end, Wang Zhongxuan had no choice but to give up, and let Li Guangshi go after beating him with fifty military sticks.

Wang Huaqiang rode on a horse, talking and laughing with Pei Shiju, these days, they have all adapted to the hot and humid climate of Lingnan, unlike when they first came, they felt a little chest tightness and dizziness.

"Hongdae, you see, Mrs. Xian has officially sent troops, is she in a hurry to stand in line and express her stance after the great victory of our army?" Wang Huaqiang said as he handed the latest Tang newspaper to Pei Shiju beside him.

Pei Shiju is now also exercising and can read the Tang Bao calmly, he took the Tang Bao, read it carefully twice, and shook his head: "The time is not right, it should be that before our army started the war against Zhou Shiju, Mrs. Xian sent that Feng Ang to do it, and this Tang Bao was prepared to be sent to my governor Yamen in Xiangzhou by detour, they didn't know that our army had sent troops to Lingnan to eliminate Zhou Shiju, it was just that this messenger happened to bump into our army on the way, this should be just a coincidence." ”

Pei Shiju paused, and took out another Tang newspaper: "Huaqiang, this is an urgent report sent by Li Feng from the north today, saying that Wang Shiji's army has been dispatched, according to this day, it should be in Changsha now, it is about six or seven days away from us, this time Wang Shiji is also prepared, there are many famous doctors in the army who treat miasma, and they should directly cross the Wuling and enter Lingnan."

Hua Qiang, although I don't like people to come to grab the merit at this time, but Wang Shiji is a general of the imperial court after all, even if he is a high servant, he will sell him a little face, should we stop and share part of the thief's great merit with him after meeting with him? ”

Wang Huaqiang waved his hand resolutely: "Hongdae, you and I are so laborious, training and pharmaceutical, what are you trying to do?" Don't you just want to calm Lingnan alone and reward you for your great achievements? If we want to wait for Wang Shiji's army, then we simply don't toss in Changsha and follow his army.

Zhou Shiju's 20,000 people are just partial divisions, although they were all wiped out by us, but this credit is incomparable with the complete suppression of this rebellion, that is, it is similar to Feng An's credit for eliminating Chen Fozhi, if Gao Servant also knew that we stopped here, he would definitely blame you and me, after all, you, the Lingnan Governor Ambassador, were won for you by Gao Servant, and I hope you have a chance to make meritorious contributions alone. ”

Pei Shiju nodded: "Okay, just listen to you, I'm just worried that this Wang Shiji is notoriously small, this time he is moving so fast, he must have heard the wind and wanted to come to grab the credit, we don't give him any face like this, it's a little unreasonable." ”

Wang Huaqiang secretly said in his heart, grandma's, if Wang Shiji comes, don't say anything else, my little life will definitely not be guaranteed, he is a general, and there are 10,000 ways to hack me to death after he comes, and there is no place to reason.

But he said: "Don't worry, we are all personally sent by Gao Servant, and the meritorious service is to win glory for Gao Servant's face, Wang Shiji will not dare to offend Gao Servant, when the time comes, as long as we eliminate Wang Zhongxuan and share some of his credit for sweeping other rebel tribes, it will be enough." ”

Pei Shiju didn't answer the question, and directly changed the topic: "Hua Qiang, now Feng Ang has led the army to confront Wang Zhongxuan's rebels, look at the meaning of this battle report, Wang Zhongxuan is also ready to withdraw from the siege, first go all out to deal with Feng An, do you think we will get in touch with Feng An's army first, and then break the thieves together?" ”

Wang Huaqiang shook his head: "There is no need for this, it will only be a waste of time to go back and forth, what we need to do now is to speed up the march and appear under Panyu City as soon as possible, I am afraid that if it is a little later, not to mention our army, even the defenders of Murong Sanzang in the city may cooperate with Feng Anli and directly break the thief." ”

Pei Shiju shook his head in disbelief: "No, after all, there are still 100,000 rebels now, Feng An's troops are only 40,000, and Murong Sanzang's garrison will not exceed 10,000, and it will not be the opponent of the rebels if it really fights, Hua Qiang, it is better to be cautious, after all, Feng An's subordinates are also barbarians, not elite soldiers like us." ”

Wang Huaqiang laughed: "Hongdae, after all, you have not seen a real big scene, more than 100,000 people are sometimes not an advantage, you want to command more than 100,000 troops like a person, orders are forbidden, advance and retreat are the same, you must be a famous general, you look at the troops raised by the division that week, there is no flag, only simple gongs and drums, orders must be shouted, there is no formation at all during the battle, from this point of view, Wang Zhongxuan's department is not very clever."

And Li Guangshi said very clearly, his army is all with its own ghosts, most of them are afraid of his obscenity, forced to follow him to rebel, just like Li Guangshi, a while ago the rebel army was strong, when attacking the city and plundering the land, it was natural to rebel with Wang Zhongxuan, but now we all know that our army went south, and the 20,000 troops raised by Zhou Shiju were wiped out in an instant, and it was impossible not to plan a way back for themselves.

Hongdae, I personally experienced the battle of Baishigang to destroy Nan Chen, and the Nan Chen army at that time was also a bit similar to this, the real army with the will to fight was only 30,000 people under Lu Guangda, and the rest were all waiting and watching, and when the defeat of Lu Guangda's department was fixed, they either surrendered or scattered. This Wang Zhongxuan's so-called 100,000 army is almost like this, that is, the 40,000 or 50,000 people in Wang Zhongxuan's headquarters are willing to fight to the death, and it would be good if the others did not defect in battle.

So when the time comes, our army only needs to join forces with Feng An's troops and Murong Sanzang's troops to deal with Wang Zhongxuan's headquarters, and he will put these people in the Chinese army, and it will not be too difficult for my 3,000 people to deal with them. (To be continued......)
