Guiyang Mansion, quartermaster Luo Tuo looked at Hong Chengchou and said cautiously: "My lord, the surplus grain in the army has been less than five days, and the Hankou side will not send grain and grass over, I am afraid that the army will be unstable." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Hong Chengchou said in distress when he heard it: "I know, I have already sent more people to urge, and there will be news in the next few days." The lack of food in the army must not be disseminated. Did you hear that? ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand!" Roto drank, turned and prepared to leave.

Before Roto left the lobby, he saw a spy hurrying into the hall, and his face was unusually solemn.

"Lord Qiyu, there is an urgent report from King Pingnan!"

It was not the battle report of the coach Doni, but the report of the deputy general Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart, and asked urgently.

"King Pingnan's battle report? Hurry up and bring it up. ”

"Yes!" The spy hurriedly took out the bamboo tube with the seal from his bosom and gave it to Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou couldn't wait to smash open the bamboo tube and quickly read the battle report inside.

The army was ambushed and suffered heavy losses, and the Qing general Gushan Ezhen Sharibu was killed in battle......

What the!

Seeing this battle report, Hong Chengchou's face turned like dirt in an instant, and he was completely stunned by the news, and he was on the spot, like a clay puppet.

The Qing army has suffered repeated defeats in recent years, and the soldiers and horses have been stretched.

The 100,000 soldiers and horses attacking the Great Western Army were already the last elite soldiers that could be mobilized in the Qing Dynasty, but now they have suffered heavy losses, and most of the soldiers and horses have been destroyed, which is really unacceptable to Hong Chengchou.

Although the Great Western Army has been crippled, although Guizhou and Guangxi have been captured, Li Chengdong and Zheng Chenggong must know the news, and they will inevitably take the opportunity to send troops to occupy it, and then the Qing army will have something to defend it.

Half of the south of the Yangtze River is no longer owned by the Qing Dynasty!

Hong Chengchou was helpless and painful, slowly shook his head, and sighed silently.

It seems that the number of great bright qi is not exhausted, and the situation of confrontation between the north and the south may be repeated.

It's just that the children of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are content with pleasure, and they have declined, and they are no longer as brave as they used to be.

The Qing Dynasty is only afraid that it is another golden country, and it will not even be able to maintain the national fortune for a hundred years.

Hong Chengchou thought very far-reaching, knowing that the defeat of Jinping was not only the loss of 50,000 troops by the Qing Dynasty, but also the loss of national fortune.

He defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and I don't know how later generations evaluated him.

I'm afraid it's a second minister!

Thinking of the evaluation of history and the name of his posthumous life, Hong Chengchou was melancholy for a while, and he was not even interested in government affairs.

Getting up and walking out of the lobby, Hong Chengchou looked at the sky with his hands behind his back.

……

Li Dingguo of the Great Western Army designed an ambush, and the news of the defeat of the Qing army was transmitted to Zheng Chenggong by secret agents.

Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but sigh: "Under such a declining situation, you can design a great defeat of the Qing army and almost turn the tide in danger...... This Li Dingguo's talent is enough to be called a genius in the world!"

Yao Qisheng said: "The Great Western Army is infighting, the people are panicked, and they have suffered a great defeat, and the soldiers and horses have been seriously damaged, and it is difficult to recover without three or five years. But whether it is the Qing army or our army, they will not give him this time, besides, Li Dingguo has the talent to govern the army but has no ability to govern the country, the building of the Great Western Army will fall, and it is difficult for Li Dingguo to return to the sky! ”

"Yes...... Zheng Chenggong sighed leisurely and asked, "Li Dingguo is really a good general, if he can be recruited to my command, it will definitely be a great help." Hee, can you have a chance to solicit it? ”

Yao Qisheng shook his head and said, "It's difficult! Li Dingguo is now the king of Jin, if our army wants to recruit this person, how should it be placed? Moreover, this man is the lord of an army, and he will not commit himself to others. If you force them to surrender, they will not serve our army wholeheartedly. ”

When Zheng Chenggong heard it, he thought about it and knew that he was whimsical, he laughed and laughed a few times as if he was self-deprecating, and said: "It's Mingyan Meng Lang, let alone Li Dingguo." One day, our army will almost arrive in Yueyang. Taking advantage of the great loss of strength of the Great Western Army and the Qing Army, our army must take this opportunity to capture Huguang. ”

70,000 Zheng Jiajun marched rapidly on the official road, and in order to prevent the news from leaking, the people they met along the way were put under house arrest.

In the early morning of late autumn, the sky and the earth are shrouded in a faint fog, which makes people feel a little cool.

"Squeak~~~~ Squeak!" The gates of Yueyang City on all sides were slowly pushed open.

The "pop" suspension bridge was slowly lowered.

Groups of soldiers went out to the city gates to garrison, and the people entered and exited the city gates one after another.

Just as the soldiers were chatting boredly, suddenly a crisp sound of horses' hooves approached from far to near.

The soldiers guarding the gates immediately ceased to gossip and became vigilant.

The soldiers in the city drew their bows in vigilance, and the soldiers in the city raised their iron guns to defend themselves. More than a dozen soldiers were ready to put away the drawbridge and close the gates.

Under the greeting of the soldiers under the city, the soldiers on the city tower tried their best to look far away.

After a while, dozens of horsemen followed by two or three hundred Qing troops appeared in sight.

Seeing that it was the clothes of the Qing army, the soldiers in the city breathed a sigh of relief.

A soldier with better eyesight squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and shouted to the soldiers under the city: "It's my brother, it seems that he is still injured!" ”

Soon, hundreds of "Qing soldiers" had run to the gate of Beicheng, and many of these soldiers were covered in blood.

When Zhang Qianhu, the city gate guard, was about to ask loudly, he saw that the person at the head of the group was staggering and unstable, and finally fell off the horse with a "click".

Several soldiers who followed hurriedly stepped forward to help the man up, shouting: "Oh no, the adult has fainted, find the doctor!" ”

Zhang Qianhu looked at the fallen man, the wounds on his body were bleeding outward, not like a fake.

He asked, "Where did you come from and what happened?" ”

The soldier who had been shouting shouted anxiously, "We are from Taolin Town, yesterday thousands of thieves claiming to be Mingchen attacked our town, we couldn't resist it, we fled back to tell the adults." ”

When Zhang Qianhu wanted to ask again, the soldier shouted very angrily, "My family is already in danger, if you don't heal it, are you responsible for what happened?" ”

Seeing the unconscious person's blood dripping down, Zhang Qianhu shouted, "Let them go into the city!" ”

Carrying the wounded, hundreds of "Qing soldiers" hurriedly walked towards the city.

Zhang Qianhu also walked towards the city, walking over and over again and shouting: "Close the city gate and guard the city gate carefully." I'm going to tell the princess. ”

As soon as he was sent into the city, the injured man, who had his eyes closed tightly and his clothes and armor stained with blood, suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed Zhang Qianhu, took out a Niu Jian knife from his arms and put it against his neck, and shouted: "No one is allowed to move, whoever moves will kill him!" I am Zheng Jiajun's subordinate - forward Zhou Wenbin. Our army has arrived, and you will not return yet, but when! (To be continued.) )
