He Yunlong half-bowed and said respectfully, while Luo Xiujin listened with half-squinted eyes and a leisurely expression, and gently tapped the armrest of the Taishi chair with his fingers while listening, and nodded from time to time after listening for a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Finished?" As soon as He Yunlong finished speaking, Luo Xiujin opened his eyes, "That's all?" ”

"Back to Lord Governor, the last general is done, that's all. If you still have questions, just ask. ”

Luo Xiujin smiled and nodded: "Well, it's good!" Come! ”

"In!" Four strong, helmet-clad Goshkha pushed open the door and entered.

"Take down this thief spy for me!"

Before He Yunlong could react, he was pressed to the ground and his hands were tied. At this time, he began to struggle hard, his face was both frightened and anxious, and he shouted at Luo Xiujin: "Lord Duxian, what are you doing here? The last will be wronged! The last general is really willing to return to the Qing Dynasty! ”

"Smack!" With a bang, Luo Xiujin slapped the letter of invitation on the tea table, and shouted loudly: "You are so bold!" What is this place? This is not a teahouse restaurant, and this official is not a fool on the street! Do you want to get away with such a letter and a lot of flawed words? It's ridiculous! Who sent you? If you are willing to get lost, for the sake of your courage and eloquence, this official may be able to spare your life! ”

He Yunlong was still defending loudly: "I still hope that Lord Duxian will see it!" What the last general said is true, and there is no lie! The matter of Yuezhou has long been no secret. If you don't believe it, you can find out from other sources! If the adults must kill the last general. The last general is helpless! It's a pity that the thousands of righteous people in Yuezhou City who are dedicated to the Qing Dynasty will be alone in the enemy from now on. Sent to death in vain! ”

"You're really unrepentant!" Luo Xiujin frowned, "Escort him down, take him under strict supervision, and behead him for public display on a certain day!" ”

"Please be aware of it! The last will be wronged! Until he was dragged out of the door, He Yunlong's screams and grievances still kept coming, and he gradually drifted away.

The staff who had been listening to the side asked Luo Xiujin: "I don't know how Dong Weng found the flaw?" The student heard this person's words, but there is no big difference from the news brought back by the secret agent today. ”

Luo Xiujin smiled bitterly: "If I see an obvious flaw, I will ask for his head on the spot." I'm not sure about it. ”

"Why did Nadong Wong ......?"

"It is precisely because you can't make up your mind that you can't be gullible." Luo Xiujin Road. "Speaking of which, I am also embarrassed by this. The cause and process are all similar to what we already know, and there seems to be nothing wrong. But sometimes the more innocent things are, the more likely it is that someone did it on purpose. As the governor of Huguang, I shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the territory, and I can't make the slightest mistake at this juncture. Let's wait and see what happens, not to mention, at the moment, tens of thousands of thieves are outside the city, even if this matter is true, we are powerless. ”

Luo Xiujin made up her mind to wait and see what happened. Unexpectedly, that night, the Ming army outside the city began to retreat. Luo Xiujin was secretly surprised, and sent capable men to follow from afar, and found that Li Guo led the army to return south along the road. The destination should be Yuezhou, undoubtedly.

At this time, Luo Xiujin was even more dilemma.

…………

Coincidentally, it was the day after Luo Xiujin received the letter from Yuezhou. The Ming army camp outside Jingzhou also ushered in a group of envoys from Changsha. Headed by a staff member of He Tengjiao, named Xu Qian. This time he went north on the orders of He Tengjiao and brought He Tengjiao's handwritten letters.

Xu Qian has been following He Tengjiao for a long time. He also knew Pang Yue well, so he was received soon after arriving in the army.

After meeting Pang Yue, Xu Qian briefly described his intention to go north this time, and handed over a letter written by He Tengjiao. He found that Pang Yue's mood didn't seem to be very good, he always had a gloomy face, and he didn't speak after listening to his intentions, but just silently took the letter and read it.

"Regarding the change in Yuezhou, Marquis Dingwu must already know about it, right?" Looking at the general soldier of Huguang in front of him, who had a gloomy face and was known as "Pang Maniac", Xu Qian asked cautiously.

Pang Yue read the letter at a glance, put it on the desk on the side, and sighed: "I already knew the day before yesterday, just yesterday, I also sent someone to deliver a letter to He Duxian, wanting He Duxian to send troops to kill the rebels and recapture the grain road for our army." Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu came today. What, He Duxian means to let me return south quickly? ”

Xu Qian said with a smile: "Don't misunderstand Lord Hou, Lord Duxian is not giving orders to Lord Hou, but considering that Yuezhou has been recaptured by the Qing captives, and all parts of northern Hunan are facing another war, I hope that the Marquis of Dingwu can remember the suffering of the people and the difficulties of the people's livelihood, and return to the south as soon as possible to quell the rebellion in Yuezhou." ”

Pang Yue looked at Xu Qian: "I don't understand this, He Duxian has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, how can he meet thousands of Tartar captives in Yuezhou and let me go south to pacify?" Besides, my distant water can't quench my thirst! Even if he needs the assistance of soldiers and horses, He Duxian should first go to Changde Mansion to find Futai, isn't there still more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Ma Junmen? ”

Xu Qian hurriedly said: "Lord Duxian's temperate soldiers and horses are naturally not as good as the tiger Ben under the command of Hou Ye, in addition, after the change in Yuezhou, the Qing soldiers who were defeated by Hou Ye at the beginning also poured into Yuezhou in a steady stream, and nearly 10,000 people gathered in less than two days. Therefore, the Governor did not dare to go north rashly. As for Changde Mansion, Gufutai has recently been seriously ill, and although he has the heart to supervise the army to fight, he can't do it. And Ma Junmen insisted that he was under the control of blocking Futai, and blocking Futai could not supervise the army, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to fight. ”

Pang Yue frowned, and his face was even more gloomy: "Originally, I hoped that He Duxian or Dufutai could send troops to recapture the grain route for our army, but now it seems that I can't count on it." Blocking Futai is sick, and He Duxian even asked me for help in turn, which is really a strange thing! Could it be that for the sake of the thousands of chaotic troops in Yuezhou, our army will give up the upcoming results and go south? Mr. Xu should also know how rare the opportunity is for this northern expedition. Shang Kexi has become a frightened bird, and our army only needs to do a little more effort. You can fight it! At this time, I returned to the south, and it was you, Mr. Xu, who was the leader of the troops. Can the gentleman be willing? ”

Xu Qian laughed a little embarrassedly, speechless for a while.

"That's it, Mr. don't need to say anything else." Pang Yue stood up, "If He Duxian can help and send troops to Yuezhou, it will naturally be the best." If I can't, I don't dare to force it. As for returning to the south, please forgive Pang for being difficult to obey! ”

"Master Hou, this ......" Xu Qian suddenly became anxious. He also stood up.

"Sir, don't worry, and listen to me," Pang Yue said coldly, "The day before yesterday, I sent someone to Wuchang to ask the Marquis of Xingguo to return to Shiyuezhou. At present, although our army's grain routes have been cut off, and there is not much grain and grass left in the army, it is not difficult to save some use and hold out for a few more days. I hope that our army can hold out until the Marquis of Xingguo recaptures Yuezhou. At that time, the matter of the grain road will naturally no longer have to trouble Lord He Duxian, and Lord He Duxian will not have to worry about the rebellion in Yuezhou threatening Changsha. I wonder if this reply will satisfy the gentleman? ”

Hearing Pang Yue say that Li Guo would lead the army back to Shiyuezhou as soon as possible, Xu Qian smiled again: "Students are also worried about the situation in northern Xiangbei. Let Hou Ye smile. Hou Ye arranged it like this, it was naturally better. ”

"Do you still need me to lead the army back south?"

"Don't dare, don't dare. The student is a scholar and does not know much about military affairs. Don't dare to interfere with Hou Ye's decision. Xu Qian said humbly.

"Well, Pang still has military affairs. I won't accompany you. Mr. came from afar, and it was hard work. If he wishes, he can stay in the army for a few more days. If Mr. is busy with affairs, Pang does not dare to force him to stay, and can arrange soldiers and horses to escort Mr. south at any time. ”

"Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness! Although the students were a little tired, Lord Duxian was also waiting for the student's response, so he didn't dare to delay too long, and he would return south in the afternoon, and he hoped that the Hou Ye would understand. As for what Hou Ye said about sending soldiers and horses to escort him, the students didn't dare to do it. Now that the war in Jingzhou has reached a critical moment, the soldiers and horses under the command of Hou Ye must have their own use, and the students dare not bother. ”

Xu Qian and his entourage rested a little in Pang Yue's army, had lunch, and set out on the road back to the south that afternoon.

That night, two men in black smuggled from the river outside the south gate of Jingzhou and infiltrated the city. Then, relying on two specially made tokens, he was soon received by Shang Kexi.

After listening to the narration of the man in black, the big stone in Shang Kexi's heart suddenly fell to the ground, and then he summoned all the generals to come to the meeting.

After listening to Shang Kexi's narration, most of the leading generals present were also overjoyed, and the dull and depressing atmosphere caused by the anxiety of the war for many days was washed away at this moment.

Only Zheng Siwei, the chief soldier of Jingzhou, tentatively raised his own question: "Lord Wang, will there be fraud in this?" ”

Shang Kexi's descendant general Xu Erxian immediately laughed and said, "Why, Zheng Junmen is really scared of the Pang thief?" If that's the case, that's okay. The general could have changed guards with Zheng Junmen, anyway, Zheng Junmen was the general army of Jingzhou, and it was natural for him to shrink in the city. ”

When Zheng Siwei heard this, his face was really a little unbearable, but how could he dare to clash with Shang Kexi's cronies?

In the end, Shang Kexi personally came to relieve the siege, symbolically reprimanded Xu Erxian a few words, and appeased Zheng Siwei, and said to everyone present: "Zheng Junmen's worries are also reasonable, Zhuge is only cautious in his life, I am leading the troops outside, shouldering the heavy trust of the saint, naturally everything must be careful." There are a series of things that have happened these days, and if you single out any of them, this king will not easily believe them. After all, that Pang Yue dog thief is scheming, and we have to guard against it. But so many incidents happened one after another, tightly knit, interlocking, if there is still a fake, then it is not Pang Thief who is acting alone, but our horse scouts, secret agents, Neiying and Changsha's He Tengjiao and other pseudo-Ming local officials are helping him act together! Regardless of the others for the time being, you should also know more or less about what kind of person He Tengjiao is. With his insight, courage and style of acting, with the incompatible relationship between him and the thief, will he help the thief to do this risky trick together? Instead of believing this, the king should believe that the boar will give birth. ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Shang Kexi said: "The sad thing is that the thief, the grain road has been cut off but he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he is still looking forward to a tiger returning to Shiyuezhou to recapture the grain road for him." What's ridiculous is that He Tengjiao, after the Yuezhou Incident, not only did he not send troops to the north, but sent a letter of help to the Pang thief army, which is really unbearable. With such a big man sitting in the rear, Hugh said that there was only one thief. Even if there are ten or eight fighting in front, what can be done about it? This is also the sorrow of hypocrisy. It doesn't die, and it really doesn't exist. ”

"Lord Wang. Since the thief army has run out of food and grass and the morale of the army is unstable, should our army attack as soon as possible and beat him to a failure? Ban Zhifu's face was full of excitement, and he couldn't wait.

Shang Kexi said: "The attack is definitely going to attack, and the thief is still delusional about making a comeback after recapturing the grain road, how can this king let him get his wish?" But when to strike, you need to think carefully. It's too early, although there is a shortage of food in the Pang thief army, its soldiers can be called elite after all. It won't make a difference in a day or two. If it's too late, it won't work, if we really wait for a tiger to return to Shiyuezhou and recapture the grain route for the Pang thief, then won't we miss the fighter in vain? Therefore, the best time for our army to attack is three or four days later. And taking advantage of these few days, our army also happened to make more preparations, and by the way, continued to observe the reality of the thief army, in case the situation changed. ”

Seeing that all the generals present had no objections, Shang Kexi then assigned the tasks in the next few days.

…………

The situation is clear. Shang Kexi's mood also improved. Soon, however, the Ming army's actions once again exceeded its expectations.

In the early morning of the next day, the Ming army, which had rested for a few days, launched another attack. If this is still expected to be gratifying, then the direction in which the Ming army first started to attack this time was really unexpected for him. Not on land, but on the river.

In the past, the Yangwei camp of Huguang Town, which was repeatedly beaten by the Jingzhou sailors of the Qing army, broke out with extraordinary bloodiness today. took the initiative to launch an attack on the Jingzhou Naval Division. At the beginning of the war, the banner of the Yangwei battalion was empty. Large and small ships cover almost the entire surface of the river, and the sound is quite huge.

Yang Wei battalion officer, former Montenegro Island three masters Xu Sanbao. The deputy battalion officer, Yi Lian Kuidu, the former commander of the Yuezhou Water Battalion of the Qing Army, also showed unprecedented courage, commanding from the front, and loudly boosting morale from time to time.

"Why are these shrunken turtles so brave today? What a strange thing! Niu Delu, the chief soldier of the Jingzhou Naval Division, looked at the Ming army fleet in front of him with contempt and surprise, and said with a little ridicule. Then, as usual, he began to issue one command after another.

On the wide river, there are many sails, battle flags gathered, drums rumbled, and cannons shook the sky. From time to time, shells fell on the fleets of both sides, damaging and sinking the boats, dyeing patches of bright red on the turquoise surface of the river, or falling into the river, stirring up a curtain of water.

Not only artillery, but also firearms, bows and arrows were fired one after another, and all kinds of dense explosions, screams, and white smoke enveloped the entire river. Later, as the distance between the two sides narrowed, it was a more tragic broadside battle. When the ships at the forefront of the two armies approached, soldiers on both sides jumped onto each other's boats with sharp blades in their hands to attack. Everywhere you look, the sword light rolls, and the wanton splash of blood stains the deck red, and also stains the surface of the river.

Facts soon showed that the Yangwei Battalion did have more courage today, but it was only more courage, and the tactical level was still a lot worse than that of the Jingzhou Naval Division. It didn't take long for the attack to go on the defensive and after a while, it was almost impossible to maintain even the defensive position.

At this time, officers at all levels of the Yangwei battalion took the lead and shouted a slogan loudly, and then the non-commissioned officers also responded in groups. Suddenly, the sound and waves were like a tsunami from the mountains, shocking the earth.

"What are they shouting?" Niu Delu asked the person next to him.

"It seems to be shouting, in order to cover the grain and grass to go ashore, you must hold on!"

"It's so fucking interesting, can you really hold on just shouting?" Niu Delu felt really funny, but then felt a little strange, "Cover the grain and grass to go ashore? Isn't the thief's food route broken? Where does the food and grass come from? ”

But on the battlefield, Niu Delu didn't think too much about it, no matter what the reason was, it was not too late to defeat the Ming army first, and then report to Shang Kexi.

The battle lasted only more than half an hour before it ended, and the Yangwei battalion, like the previous ones, left behind the wreckage of ships scattered on the river and the dead bodies floating on the river, and fled in confusion, causing the Qing army to shout wildly.

On land, the Ming army, which took the initiative to attack, was not as embarrassed as the naval division, and although the offensive was not as fierce as the previous times, it also occupied a slight advantage. However, after the retreat of the Yangwei battalion, the Ming army on land did not fall in love with the battle, and decisively and neatly Mingjin withdrew his troops.

"Cover the food and grass ashore?" After the two sides collected their troops, Shang Kexi listened to the news from the Jingzhou Navy Division, and recited this sentence twice to himself, and immediately laughed, "In the Three Kingdoms, there was Zhuge Kongming Chengtou Fuqin, and in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was Tan Daoji to replace grain with sand, and now there is Pang Muyuan rushing to transport grain and grass, which is really a story for the ages, a story for the ages!" ”

At noon, the Qing scouts outside the city saw the scene of the Ming army camp from a distance, and they quickly reported that it was gratifying. Shang Kexi got the news, personally came to the battlement and raised a clairvoyant mirror to watch, and saw a large number of Ming soldiers escorting dozens of people who were also wearing Ming army clothes and armor out of the camp, kneeling down in the open space, and a Ming army general standing on a high place and saying something loudly. After a while, the general finished speaking, and with a wave of his hand, the swords and axes standing in a row immediately raised their knives and fell, and dozens of heads fell into the dust. Subsequently, some soldiers collected these dozens of heads and hung them outside the gate to show the public.

"Pang Thief has always boasted that he loves soldiers like sons, and he is killing like this today, and the reason is that he doesn't care about two things." Shen Zhixiang also looked from afar, and after seeing it, he said, "One is because the war is unfavorable, and the other is because someone disturbs the morale of the army." Judging from the battle this morning, although the thief army is not good in the water war, it is still not inferior on land, and with the character of a thief, it is unlikely that so many people will be beheaded because of this incident. In this way, the biggest possibility is that someone disturbs the morale of the military. It seems that the news of the severance of the thief army's grain route cannot be hidden after all, the army's heart has begun to fluctuate, and the thief and thief have to stabilize the overall situation, so they have to be ruthless. ”

"Could there be a third possibility?" Shang Kexi looked into the distance and said thoughtfully.

"The third possibility? Please also ask the prince to show me.
