Because of the busy family affairs and marriage, when the news of the unfavorable war in Jingzhou was transmitted back to the decision-making level of the Wu army, Lu Fatzi was not at the scene, but it didn't take long for the news to reach the ears of Lu Fatzi - but it was not passed on by Hu Guozhu and Fang Guangchen, nor by Liu Xuanchu, a good teacher selected by Lu Fatzi, but by Wang Shirong, the only one in the decision-making level of the Wu army who was not right with Lu Fatzi.

Obviously, when Wang Shirong told the news to Lu Fatzi, he usually didn't have any good intentions - because Wang Shirong came to mock Lu Fatzi, when Wu Laohan decided to send Xia Guoxiang as the general to attack Jingzhou, even Fang Guangchen expressed his opposition, and Lu Fatzi, who had been handpicked by Wu Laohan, didn't even dare to let out a fart - this led to the defeat of Wu Jun's Jingzhou. At the end, Wang Shirong asked Lu Fatzi in a mocking tone, what is the pessimistic attitude of Lu Fatzi, the culprit, about the slim prospects of the Jingzhou war?

Wang Shirong's arrogant surname, Lu Fatzi can be said to have a deep understanding, so Lu Fatzi was not angry, just carefully read the Jingzhou war report brought by Wang Shirong - Wang Shirong read it and wrote the Jingzhou war report word for word! And after reading the battle report, Lu Fatzi quickly patted the case and said: "The second uncle and father-in-law lost unjustly, they were too anxious this time, and they also met an opponent, although the reputation of this Yiling general soldier Xu Zhidu is not famous, but he is bold and careful, brave and strategic, and he is indeed a difficult dog man!" ”

"Lord Lu is really a filial son and a virtuous son-in-law, and he can indeed make excuses for his elders." Wang Shirong continued to mock: "When crossing the river, he hurriedly crossed the river without guarding against the arrival of the enemy upstream, and was successfully attacked by the enemy, and then he slammed gold on the enemy's face? But this is indeed a good way, and it is indeed much better to put gold on the enemy's face than to scold yourself for being incompetent. ”

"Mr. Liangchen misunderstood, the student is definitely not putting gold on the enemy's face, let alone for his father-in-law." Fat Lu was not angry at Wang Shirong's cynicism, but just shook his head, very disapproving.

"Then tell me why." Wang Shirong finally showed some eagerness.

"Mr. Liangchen, please pay attention to the time." Lu Fatzi pointed to the battle report and said: "Mr. Liangchen, please see, the second uncle launched three sieges in five days, and on the fifth day, that is, early yesterday morning, they were attacked by the Han Dynasty and Xu Zhidu, but the second uncle and they only took ten days from the time they set off - that is to say, the second uncle and they only took more than four days to complete the more than 400 miles from Yuezhou to Jingzhou!" What does it mean to march with such intensity, and then launch such a dense siege? ”

Wang Shirong was silent, and only after a while did he come up with a sentence, "General Xia Guoxiang is too anxious, and he is in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, so that Mangou has taken advantage of the loophole." ”

"That's right!" Lu Fatzi slapped the battle report and said categorically: "The signs of the second uncle's anxiety are not only this, our Songzi army has not had time to cross the Yangtze River, he can't wait to launch three sieges, and Mangou is no matter how stupid he is, he understands that the second uncle is in a hurry to break the city." Han annihilated Xu Zhidu also grasped the anxious mentality of the second uncle, pretended to retreat cowardly, and induced the second uncle to urgently transfer the Songzi army to cross the river for reinforcements, but the second uncle really hit the plan, so Xu Zhidu took advantage of this loophole. ”

Wang Shirong was silent again, and Lu Fatzi added: "And one thing I can be sure of is that this Xu Zhidu is definitely a dog with courage and courage, because after he withdrew from Yidu to Yiling, he could indeed rush to the Jingzhou battlefield overnight, but if the news of the Jingzhou battlefield wants to be transmitted back to Yiling, it is difficult for even carrier pigeons to arrive overnight, not to mention Xu Zhidu's marching time and preparation time." Therefore, I can be sure that when Xu Zhidu withdrew to Yiling on the seventh day of the first month, he must have expected that our army's Songzi army would inevitably cross the river in the early morning of the eighth day of the first month, so he set off on the evening of the seventh day of the first month, and arrived in Jingzhou in the early morning of the eighth day of the first month, killing our army by surprise! ”

"In this way, this Xu Zhidu's military style is very similar to yours." Wang Shirong muttered: "They all like to take the sword sideways, they are good at capturing the enemy's psychological weaknesses, they will bet all on the opportunity, win the big one, and ...... if they lose." ”

"If you lose, Xu Zhidu won't lose anything." Lu Fatzi spread his hands and said: "Unless the second uncle or my father-in-law sees through his tricks and arranges an ambush in advance to wait for work, otherwise, even if our army does not cross the river on the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month, Xu Zhidu will expose the plan and will not lose a single soldier." ”

Wang Shirong stopped talking again, and after a while, Wang Shirong suddenly exclaimed again, "Not good! The enemy is so cunning and difficult, General Xia is so eager to advance lightly, and the prince is now ordering General Xia to take revenge as soon as possible to get back face, and General Xia, who is already anxious, is afraid that he will suffer a big loss! ”

"Grandfather, he asked the second uncle to take revenge as soon as possible?" Lu Fatzi was also taken aback, when Wang Shirong quickly introduced Wu Laohan's order to Xia Guoxiang, Lu Fatzi immediately cried out bitterly, quickly got up and said: "No, I have to go to see my grandfather immediately, ask him to take back his life, and let the second uncle not take the enemy lightly, he must fight steadily, and he can't give Mangou a chance to exploit loopholes." ”

"You can't go! I'll go! Wang Shirong decisively stopped: "You have such a shallow qualifications and are so reused by the prince, it is already very jealous and hateful, this will you accuse the prince's son-in-law of being incompetent, once the news reaches the ears of Xia Guoxiang, he will not hate you to death?" I go, only if I go to persuade the prince, it is appropriate. ”

"Huh?" Fat Lu's eyes widened, he looked Wang Shirong up and down, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liangchen, the lower official only found out today, it turns out that you are also very concerned about the situation and position of the lower official?" ”

Wang Shirong's face flushed, and he snorted: "I revealed these words and this news to you, I am afraid that the prince will investigate the news you learned from there, as for your life or death, it is my business?" With that, Wang Shirong got up and strode out of the room, leaving Lu Fatzi shaking his head and smiling bitterly in the room.

Wu Lao Han Jian can still listen to the advice of others, when Wang Shirong changed Lu Fatzi's speculation to Wu Lao Han Jian, Wu Lao Han Jian also felt that his order to Xia Guoxiang was a little inconsiderate. At that moment, Wu Lao Han did not hesitate, and immediately sent a second messenger to Jingzhou to contact Xia Guoxiang, asking Xia Guoxiang not to rush to revenge, let alone continue to underestimate the enemy's rash advance, and then give the enemy a hole to exploit.

Lu Fatzi, Wang Shirong and Wu Lao Han Jan can be said to be all kind-hearted, all for the good of Wu Jun and even better for the good of Xia Guoxiang, but what Lu Fatzi and Wang Shirong and others miscalculated was that Xia Guoxiang's anxiety was much more serious than they imagined, so when Wu Lao Han's two orders were passed to Xia Guoxiang, Xia Guoxiang couldn't hold his breath anymore, and he was even more eager to get back this face - but it is not surprising that because of accepting a bribe from Xiong Cixu, Xia Guoxiang was slapped and scolded in front of Wu Lao Hanjian. Now it has single-handedly led to the biggest fiasco since the Wu army started its army, and if Xia Guoxiang does not get the field back as soon as possible, and wants to be entrusted with a heavy task by Wu Laohan in the future, it will be even more difficult.

In his eagerness, Xia Guoxiang couldn't help but think of Lu Fatzi's trick to break through Wuchang, and on the night of November 12, Xia Guoxiang also concocted the same method, concentrating artillery to bombard the west gate of Jingzhou to attract the attention of the defenders, and took the opportunity to dig the city wall at the north gate of Jingzhou with the siege table, intending to bury explosives to blow up the city wall. But it's a pity that Tuhai, who had already suffered a big loss from the Wu army in Wuchang, saw through Xia Guoxiang's intentions at a glance, and when the Wu army began to dig the city wall, he suddenly threw a large number of torches and 10,000 enemies under the city, which not only burned and burned many Wu soldiers, but also detonated the explosives used by the Wu army to blow up the wall, causing huge losses to the Wu army.

Subsequently, the Qing army's Yiling Naval Division Xu Zhidu took advantage of the opportunity of the Wu Army's Wu Guogui Division's eagerness to cross the river to reinforce the Jingzhou war, and always entrenched in the Yidu area upstream of the Wu Army's ferry, forcing the Wu Army's Naval Division Lin Xingzhu to take the initiative to attack and go up against the current to expel the Xu Zhidu fleet. However, the most important thing in the water war is the direction of the water flow, it happened that it was early winter, the north wind was strong, the time and place were in the hands of Xu Zhidu, Lin Xingzhu's sailors were against the current and the wind, not to mention the normal battle, even if they wanted to use the sampan back to the sky, because of the slow speed of the ship, they had not had time to get close to the Qing army fleet and had been intercepted and sniped by the Qing army's small boats. As a result, after the two water battles, the Wu army's naval division not only did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, but also did not drive away the disgusting Xu Zhidu fleet, but was robbed of eight suicide sampans by Xu Zhidu, and all the explosives on the ship fell into the hands of the Qing army, which in turn threatened the safety of the Wu army's fleet.

At the same time, the 30,000 new Qing troops led by Beizi Zhunda have also arrived in Jingmen Prefecture, encircling the Wu army Liu Zhifu and Yang Laijia, who have only 5,000 troops, and Kang Mazi has urgently transferred south from Shaanxi and Gansu to reinforce Jingzhou's 10,000 troops have also arrived in Xunyang, making the advantages and disadvantages of the Jingzhou war gradually reversed, and the Wu army, which originally occupied a certain advantage, was not only at a disadvantage, but even in danger of being surrounded and annihilated by the Qing army. And the battle reached this point, although Xia Guoxiang still wanted to continue to hold on, but Wu Guogui, who was loyal to Wu Laohan, quit, and sent two waves of messengers back to Yuezhou one after another, informing Wu Laohan of the battle situation in Jingzhou and asking Wu Laohan to make a decision.

A local battle that was ten out of ten was turned into a large-scale battle by the incompetent son-in-law who gradually increased the number of troops and generals, and missed the rare opportunity to completely destroy the defense line of the middle section of the Yangtze River of the Qing army, Wu Laohan scolded his son-in-law for being as stupid as a pig, and had to decide to leave Hu Guozhu to guard Yuezhou, personally led 30,000 troops to reinforce the Jingzhou battlefield, and personally commanded the Jingzhou battle - but fortunately, the north and south banks of the Yangtze River in Yuezhou are under the control of the Wu army, and the Wu army crossed the river west in Yuezhou, but it does not need to be like Wu Guogui's Songzi army, When crossing the river, you have to be careful to guard against the enemy from upstream.

Finalized this resolution, Wu Lao Han Jian first sent a large number of powerful generals who were never lacking in the Pingxi Palace, and then when he appointed the staff officers of the army, Wu Lao Han Jian was a little hesitant, the four major strategists of the Pingxi Palace, Liu Xuanchu had returned to the rear of Yunnan to assist Guo Zhuangtu in the rear of Yunnan and Guizhou, and changed the regime, Hu Guozhu and Fang Guangchen one wanted to guard Yuezhou and the other to go to Changsha to allocate grain and grass, only one Wang Shirong was available, and the manpower was too thin, and finally Wu Lao Han fixed his eyes on Lu Fatzi. His expression couldn't help but hesitate even more - in two days, it would be the marriage of Lu Fatzi and Wu Xiaosuo.

"Grandfather, grandson-in-law has the courage to implore him to accompany him and assist his grandfather in capturing Jingzhou." Seeing Wu Laohan's thoughts, Fat Lu hurriedly took the initiative to stand up and dance the Zhongzi Dance, bowed and said, "The marriage between Grandson-in-law and Xiaosu can be delayed a little longer." ”

"It's been delayed for three years, and it's still delayed?" Wu Laohan snorted very reluctantly.

"Grandfather forgive me, and my son-in-law also knows that his marriage with Xiao Su has dragged on for too long." Lu Fatzi hurriedly made a big salute and said respectfully: "But no matter how big the grandson-in-law and Xiaosu's family affairs are, there is no grandfather's great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and now the Jingzhou War has gradually become a battle, no matter how unfilial the grandson-in-law is, he can't bear to let his grandfather and father-in-law fight with the dog in front, and he will stay in the rear to enjoy the blessings?" ”

After that, Lu Fatzi built another step for Wu Laohan, "Besides, the marriage between the grandson-in-law and Xiaosu was not attended by the grandfather, and without the presence of the father-in-law, even if the grandson-in-law and Xiaosu get married on schedule, they will feel very regretful." ”

Lu Fatzi's words were beautiful and decent, and immediately won the Wu army generals present, everyone said that Lu Fatzi is no wonder he has won the trust and reuse of Wu Laohan, just by virtue of this loyalty of public and private first, it is far from being very comparable! And Wu Lao Hanjian's handsome old face finally showed some smiles, nodded and said: "Okay, you bring Xiao Su, and when you take Jingzhou, you will immediately worship in Jingzhou City and get married, and this king will personally marry you." ”

Lu Fatzi hurriedly thanked him, so there were many good things, and Lu Fatzi and Wu Xiaosu, who had already decided to marry on November 22, had to postpone the marriage indefinitely, and both of them rushed to the Jingzhou battlefield with Wu Laohan to lead the army to reinforce the battlefield, and the wedding prepared by Lu Fatzi out of his own pocket was also wasted, and the Wu Junzhong and Lu Fatzi's big and small lackeys all regretted it, but the only thing that had to be filial piety for 27 months for the security of the country was secretly happy in the heart of Yu Yu'er, "Dead fatty, the longer the drag, the better, it is best to delay it for another three years, I will marry first and make it bigger." and she went over to be small! ”

………………

On November 21, the twelfth year of the Qing Dynasty, in view of the changes in the situation on the battlefield in Jingzhou, the main force of the Wu army, which successfully broke through the defense line of the Yangtze River and openly played the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, was forced to give up the plan of expanding the results of the pursuit by victory, and instead tried to be safe, and Wu Laohan led an army of 30,000 troops to Jingzhou for reinforcements, in order to pull out the biggest nail in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and then plot the Northern Expedition.

When the news reached the capital, the anxious Kang Mazi shouted that the heavens blessed, and hurriedly sent an edict to Jingzhou for 800 miles, ordering Tuhai, Labu and Shangshan and others in Jingzhou City to defend the city. At the same time, he ordered Shaanxi and Gansu, and ordered the king of Duoluo County, Eza, to personally lead the army south to reinforce the Jingzhou battlefield, and in addition, he also requisitioned the Chahatai Department of Yanzhou, Shandong, Gong Tu, the capital of Henan, the garrison of Nanzhang, and the Henan Governor Tong Huinian, to rush to the Jingzhou battlefield for reinforcements, in order to win more breathing time for the Qing court.

In fact, there is no need for Kang Mazi to draw a snake to give a death order to the Qing army in Jingzhou, just from the scout mouth to learn the news of Wu Laohan's personal expedition to Jingzhou, the Qing army's Jingzhou guards Tuhai, Labu, Shang Shan and Xu Zhidu husband and wife all understand that the last moment of life and death has come, if you can hold this Jingzhou city, wait until the arrival of reinforcements from all over the country, then the Qing court can not only win valuable preparation time, but also take the opportunity to re-stabilize the Yangtze River defense line, and re-blockade the Wu army in the south of the Yangtze River! But if this Jingzhou City is lost again, then even if the defeated army of Tuhai and Rabu and others can get away with it and succeed in breaking through, then it is impossible for Kang Mazi to spare them anymore - especially Tuhai, it is absolutely dead!

In view of this situation, after a hurried discussion with Rabu, Shang Shan and others, Tu Hai unanimously decided to ask Bei Zi Zhunda to abandon the plan to attack Jingmen, go south to Jingzhou at full speed to strengthen the defensive forces, desperately strengthen the defense of Jingzhou, and prepare to use Jiancheng to gamble with the Wu army. At the same time, in order to consolidate the city defense and use the people, Tuhai repeated the old tricks, wantonly spreading rumors that the Wu army would inevitably slaughter the city after breaking the city, forcing more than 100,000 Jingzhou people to defend the city with all their might in order to survive. And the hardcore Han annihilated Xu Zhidu's 'virtuous helper' Xu Shi donated all his jewelry to the labor army, assisted her husband in commanding the Qing army and sailors, and agreed with her husband to swear to serve the country and never surrender.

Because of the distance and the different mentality, when the main force of the Wu army arrived at Jingzhou on November 27, the Qing army's reinforcements had arrived in Jingzhou on the first day, Xia Guoxiang failed to intercept, only killed nearly 2,000 enemies in the field, and the rest were all stationed in Jingzhou City under the response of the Jingzhou defenders, making the Qing army's Jingzhou defenders reach 60,000 troops, which in turn exceeded the sum of the two troops of Wu Army's Xia Guoxiang and Wu Guogui! Xia Guoxiang and Wu Guogui felt shameless, so as soon as Wu Laohan's army arrived, Xia Guoxiang and Wu Guogui both went to Wu Laohan to plead guilty, asking Wu Laohan to deal with their own ineffective crimes.

"Get up, I can't blame you entirely." Fortunately, Wu Lao Han is quite reasonable, not only did he not have the crime of treating Xia Guoxiang and Wu Guogui, but also got off the horse and personally picked up Xia Guoxiang and Wu Guogui, and comforted: "Since ancient times, the siege war has been the most difficult to fight, and now Jingzhou Mangou has no way to retreat, and it is reasonable to defend the city to the death. ”

"Thank you for your father's (father-in-law's) grace." Wu Guogui and Xia Guoxiang both kowtowed and thanked each other, and then stood up. Wu Lao Han pointed behind him again, and said with a smile: "Guogui, look at it, who did your father bring to you?" ”

While speaking, Wu Xiaosuo, who came with the army, had already walked in front of Wu Guogui, bowed to Wu Guogui Yingying, and called his father with a red face. Wu Guogui was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked, "Father, why did you bring Xiao Su?" Can she stand this bumpy military journey? ”

"Can you not bring it? Because of the matter of Jingzhou, Yifeng must be obtained, and the good things of your daughter and Yifeng have been pushed back again. Wu Laohan said with a wry smile: "The old man also feels sorry for this granddaughter, and he doesn't want her to drag it out anymore, and he is ready to wait for this Jingzhou to be defeated and let them ......get married in Jingzhou City, huh?" ”

It was also at this point that Wu Lao Han realized that something was wrong with things, and hurriedly asked: "Xiao Su, what about your future husband?" You were still together just now, why didn't he come and kowtow to your father? ”

"Where he went." Wu Xiaosu pointed to the west in front of him, and said shyly: "When Brother Lu saw the embankment just now, he immediately took a few personal soldiers and ran over, saying that he wanted to observe the terrain and come over to kowtow to his father later." ”

Wu Laohan turned his head and looked at the place pointed by Wu Xiaosu, and found that the place Wu Xiaosu pointed to was a Yangtze River embankment in the southwest of Jingzhou, the terrain was very high, and he could just look down on all the terrain around Jingzhou City. But even if he has an eye, observing the terrain in that place, he can indeed see it most carefully, by the way, does that embankment have a name? ”

"Back to my father, that embankment is called the Ten Thousand Causeway, and according to legend, it was built with the strength of ten thousand people." Wu Guogui replied respectfully: "This embankment is also one of the main battlefields for our army to compete with Mangou, because if our army's Songzi garrison wants to cross the river, it must climb this embankment. ”

"Oh, the old man will take the time to take a look later." Wu Laohan nodded, and then ordered: "Pass the order, the whole army will camp with its back to Taibai Lake, send more scouts, and closely inspect all the enemy situations in Jingzhou." Wu Lao Han Jian's Wu army generals agreed together, and their respective command posts set up camp with their backs to Taibai Lake, and Wu Lao Han Jian personally led an army to observe the city defense under Jingzhou City and study the strategy of breaking the enemy.

When the banner of Wu Lao Han Zhan appeared under the city of Jingzhou, the Qing army on the city of Jingzhou was inevitably scratched by it, shouting and shouting endlessly, but Wu Lao Han Zhan didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, but just led a group of Wu army generals to patrol around the city and observe the enemy situation. However, what made Wu Laohan frown and suddenly was that the defense of Jingzhou City was indeed extremely strong, and there were many high moats and deep bows and crossbows in the city, so there was no need to be verbose, and then carefully asked about the underground situation, and learned that Jingzhou City was low-lying and the groundwater was very rich, and the Wu army did not even have the hope of digging tunnels to attack the city.

Now the Qing army defenders in Jingzhou City have exceeded 60,000 people, and there are 4,000 elite sailors in Xu Zhidu on the periphery, making it difficult for Wu Jun's Songzi army to even cross the river, and the Wu army's army on the north bank of the Yangtze River is only more than 40,000 people, and the strength is less than that of the Jingzhou defenders.

"This battle is not easy to fight." Seeing this scene, even the old Qiu Bawu old man who had been on the battlefield for decades couldn't help but sigh.

"Father, Yifeng and they are back." Wu Guogui next to him reminded in a low voice.

Wu Laohan looked up and saw that Lu Fatzi was leading a team of cavalry, and he was rushing towards this side quickly. The person was still in the distance, and the smug laughing voice of Fat Lu had already come, "Hahahaha, grandfather, good news, good news, grandson-in-law has already found a way to break through the city, and he has already found a way to break through Jingzhou City!" ”

Laughing, Lu Fatzi had already rushed to Wu Laohanjian and others, dismounted with an extremely chic whip, knelt down on one knee to Wu Laohanjian even more chicly, and said with a happy face: "Grandfather, grandson-in-law is not talented, he has a plan, he can break through this Jingzhou fortified city without spending a single soldier!" ”

"Stinky boy, what are you bragging?" The future son-in-law doesn't kowtow when he meets, but he dares to brag such a bull in front of himself who has just suffered a defeat in Jingzhou City, Wu Guogui couldn't help but be so angry that he was smoking, and scolded: "Don't talk big about Lao Tzu!" Without spending a single soldier to break through this Jingzhou City, do you think you are an immortal? ”

"Guogui, don't be angry, your son-in-law is not bragging." Wu Laohan said quietly.

"Father, how do you know?" Wu Guogui was taken aback, and Lu Fatzi also raised his fat head in surprise and looked at Wu Lao Han Jian carefully.

Wu Laohan smiled and asked, "Yifeng, do you want this king to dig up the 10,000-person embankment and flood Jingzhou City, right?" ”

"Grandfather, how do you know?" Fat Lu was even more shocked.

"I don't know your temper yet? Do things only for the end, unscrupulous means. Wu Lao Han said calmly: "From the time you just left us to inspect the 10,000-person embankment alone, the old man has already guessed that you must have discovered that Jingzhou City is low-lying, and the 10,000-person embankment is high. ”

"Ahh Wu Guogui and Xia Guoxiang exclaimed in unison, glanced at each other again, and exclaimed in unison again: "Why didn't we think of this trick? ”

"What a good idea!" Ma Bao next to him also shook his fist and roared, "Dig up the embankment of 10,000 people, and you can kill the dogs in the whole city without a single soldier!" ”

"What about the people in Jingzhou City? What about the people of Jingzhou Mansion? Wu Laohan said amazingly, and asked Lu Fatzi and other generals of the Wu army: "In order to break through a city, we dug up the 10,000-person river embankment built by the people with the strength of 10,000 people, so what should the hundreds of thousands of people in Jingzhou Mansion do with the monstrous flood?" What about the millions of people downstream? Don't forget, this is a grain-producing area, digging a 10,000-person embankment to flood the fertile land, what do the surrounding people eat? ”

The generals of the Wu army were all speechless, and Lu Fatzi looked Wu Lao Han up and down as if he didn't know, almost suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears. Wu Lao Han shouted in a deep voice: "Spread the will of the orphans, for the sake of thousands of living beings, no one is allowed to touch a single brick and stone of the embankment of ten thousand people!" Jingzhou City, lonely to fight down in a dignified manner! ”

Note: In the Jingzhou War of the Rebellion of the Three Feudatories, Wu Lao Han still pretended to be benevolent and took care of the people and refused to dig 10,000 embankments despite the fierce fighting and heavy casualties, which is by no means fictional. There is a real thing in history, which is contained in the fourth volume of Guangyang Miscellaneous Records, pp. 179-180, 204. In this regard, the Qing Dynasty historical materials commented: The twilight is deep! Later generations Bao Yiteng commented as: strategic conservative!
