Li Zicheng is indeed aggrieved enough, thinking that back then, he rebelled with Zhang Xianzhong and others, killed the Ming Dynasty, and even entered Beijing City to become the emperor for a time.

But he couldn't figure it out, and now he has fallen to the point where even a small Qiongzhou and 20,000 people can't win. For him, it was a great shame.

When he was strong, Da Ming would also give some thin noodles. Now, as soon as he leaves Leizhou, he is a phoenix that has been plucked, and the soldiers of the Ming army who once saw him were like mice and cats, and they would immediately become cats who saw mice, and exchanged his head for the opportunity to seal his wife and son.

"Liangguang, Central Plains, wherever you go, as long as Your Majesty does not fall, we can still regain our strength and compete with Fan Jinyan again." Tian Jianxiu hurriedly replied.

Li Zicheng couldn't help but think about it, and there was also a shout of killing from the rear camp, and it was obvious that Qin Yuan's soldiers and horses had killed him.

Li Zicheng's heart was crossed, and he said angrily: "Pass the order, and the thousand horsemen of the headquarters will travel ten miles to the east and turn north into Guangxi, and then we will go to Yunnan." ”

After speaking, he took the reins handed over by his own soldiers, turned over his horse, stared closely at the head of the city not far away, beat his horse, and quickly left the battlefield with the cavalry.

Obviously, Li Zicheng gave up all the soldiers and only took more than 1,000 cavalry to escape

"The last general has seen Master Hou." After the war, Li Dingguo took his old subordinates and knelt down as soon as he saw Fan Jinyan.

Fan Jinyan didn't bother to expose the little things of this handsome old man, and said with a smile: "Dingguo is a believer, Ben Hou is very pleased, how did you win this battle?" ”

Li Dingguo couldn't laugh at it, there were a lot of prisoners, tens of thousands, but none of the key people were caught, and they didn't even see the corpses, "The last general was incompetent, careless for a while, forgetting that Li Zicheng still had more than a thousand cavalry, including himself, all the middle and senior generals, all the time." ”

"Bring me the map." Fan Jinyan did not punish Li Dingguo, he knew that Li Zicheng was a treacherous and slippery, otherwise it would be impossible to escape from the encirclement of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

What's more, this time it was Li Zicheng who surrounded him, and it was expected that he would escape, and now the most important thing is how to catch him and never suffer in the future.

"Leizhou is a long and narrow area, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the central part is mountainous. Therefore, it is impossible for Li Zicheng's cavalry to deal with us here, and going north to Liangguang is his only way out. ”

Fan Jinyan looked at the map and said.

Tang Fei frowned and said: "If Li Zicheng really enters Liangguang, then there is a vast land north of the advertisement, how can we catch him." ”

"Nope." At this time, Li Dingguo retorted: "In order to guard against the attack of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen has gathered heavy troops in Liangguang, and Li Zicheng will definitely not go to find hardships for himself." The last general thought that he would go west, to Annam, Burma and other countries. ”

After the words fell, Fan Jinyan stood up from the chair, looked at him in disbelief, and asked questioningly, "Why are you so sure?" ”

Regarding Fan Jinyan's questioning, Li Dingguo didn't care, and continued: "Li Zicheng only has a thousand horsemen around him, and he is not able to confront the imperial army at all, and the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River is not suitable as the foundation for starting a family, so he can only go west. However, now that the southwest region was about to face the attack of the Manchus, he would undoubtedly kill himself if he went. Then there is only one way left, bypassing Guangxi, passing through Yunnan into Annam or Burma, starting with the Nanyang country, and then plotting for the Central Plains. ”

Fan Jinyan had to admit that Li Dingguo's analysis was very reasonable, if Li Zicheng really entered Nanyang, then his plan to plot Nanyang and even the West would be completely reimbursed, and the Dutch would definitely not let go of this opportunity to make trouble for him. At least in the short term, it will be difficult for him to destroy Li Zicheng.

Fan Jinyan is most worried about more than a dozen shipyards in Annan, that is his killer weapon to attack the Western countries, if it is occupied by Li Zicheng, it is not as simple as losing silver, Li Zicheng obviously will not let the shipyard idle, will inevitably build a shipbuilding to attack Qiongzhou, if Fan Jinyan destroys the shipyard with his own hands, he is also reluctant!

Thinking of this, Fan Jinyan said: "Send a warship to set off immediately, and order Mo Yao, the general of Annan, to lead the army north, and be sure to guard it to the death, and not let Li Zicheng enter the country." ”

After speaking, he continued: "Send someone to ride a fast horse into Yunnan, ask Mu Tianbo for help, and say that after the matter is completed, this marquis is willing to offer 100,000 taels of silver as a thank you gift." ”

After the arrangement, Fan Jinyan said to Tang Fei: "You bring back the soldiers of the Northern Battalion, and when Ben Hou is not there, you must ensure that there is no chaos in Qiongzhou." ”

"The last will understand." Tang Fei knew that Fan Jinyan handed over the nest to himself, that is, he put the root of his life in his hands, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly leaned over and replied.

Then, Fan Jinyan said to Qin Yuan again: "Dude, I will hand over Leizhou to you, this is the cornerstone of our landing in the future, and there can be no mistakes." ”

"Don't worry! With me, Leizhou can't be lost. Qin Yuan smiled, suddenly grabbed Fan Jinyan's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Lao Tzu is only two thousand people, and the equipment is poor, how to defend it?" Do you take your teeth? ”

Fan Jinyan glanced at him, and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, you can do it!" Anyway, I don't have the money to support you. ”

Qin Yuan's eyes widened, gave Fan Jinyan a fried chestnut, and scolded: "You're too picky!" Are you going to lack that money? Okay, you don't have to worry about it, Lao Tzu will figure it out by himself, and you don't want a word about Leizhou's taxes. ”

Regarding Qin Yuan's words, Fan Jinyan didn't care about it, and gave him a blank look, even if the matter was settled

After the arrangement, Fan Jinyan took Li Dingguo, Wei Dayou and 12,000 soldiers all the way north to Lianzhou Mansion in Guangxi, as long as they passed through Siming Mansion further, they could enter Annan.

Fan Jinyan dared to use a two-legged person to chase a four-legged horse, also because the area from Leizhou to Annan, and even the entire southwest area is full of undulating mountains, although the war horse runs fast, but it is not so flexible in the mountains and forests, and it is a little cumbersome. So, with such a terrain, it is not impossible for two legs to catch up with four legs.

In just two days, the Qiongzhou army arrived at the border city next to Annam, the Siming Mansion of the Guangxi Political Envoy.

But at the same time, it was also blocked by an army of the imperial court. (To be continued.) )
