The sky was bright, and the sun shone in through the light gauze tent.

Liu Xian woke up on the bed, opened his eyes, pulled out of the arms and legs of the beautiful woman in his arms, and got out of bed quietly.

The Qin army conquered Fuzhou, which was equivalent to conquering Fujian. Liu Xian is not ready to attack Zhejiang now, and his troops are insufficient. In the next stage, Hunan and Jiangxi will be the focus of the Qin army!

Therefore, Liu Xian temporarily stopped in Fuzhou to deter the Chu army.

Then, then a pair of young beauties were sent to Liu Xian's bedside. One is the daughter of the landlord of Changle, who has long been famous among the people, and the other is the daughter of a small official in Fuzhou, both of whom are sixteen or seventeen years old.

This was the first time that the generals of the Qin army 'offered' beauty to Liu Xian. The worried look on the faces of the generals, many days have passed, and Liu Xian can still remember it clearly.

Therefore, Liu Xian accepted them. I don't ask if the second daughter, who is sixteen or seventeen, has a marriage contract.

Getting up early every day to exercise is an indispensable 'program' for Liu Xian, and it has passed half past seven today, and it is already very late.

Half an hour later, I went back to the bathroom to take a shower, change clothes, eat, and moved to the front hall of the Yamen of the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang at half past eight o'clock, and began to handle business.

"Your Majesty, General Liu Zhuo of Yunnan has sent a telegram that his troops will launch a general attack on the enemy in Lin'an Mansion [Yunnan Jianshui] in the near future."

The first thing Ding Zhenduo did when he saw Liu Xian was to give Liu Xian a telegram he had just received to Liu Xian for reading.

"Liu Zhuo is in a hurry!" Holding the telegram, Liu Xian smiled slightly.

The French are not far from East Asia, and the headquarters is already planning to transfer Liu Zhuo's troops back to Vietnam, and also transfer them from Beiqi to Zhongqi and Nanqi. This is before leaving. Liu Zhuoru couldn't eat a part of the Qing army and won a big victory. shows his sense of existence, since the Qin army started to fight. His credit is too small.

……

Eyes turned to Lin'an Mansion in Yunnan, a place with a very misleading name.

The small 20,000 Qing troops were stationed here, and the city was headed by Zhang Shusheng, the boss of the Huai army, Tian Xingnu, a heavy general under Liu Changyou, and some of the Dian troops under Feng Zicai, who were desperately entrenched in the city of Lin'an Mansion and blocked the road of the Qin army north to Kunming.

In the city of Lin'an Mansion, a forty-year-old middle-aged man stood on the street in the city, looking ahead in a daze. A huge mansion. The mansion occupies an extremely large area, and the tall hoarding walls cover most of the inside, and the half-hidden and half-exposed corners are extremely luxurious, in contrast to the many dilapidated houses in the streets and alleys of the city.

When Shi Dakai occupied Yunnan, Lin'an Mansion was the territory of Shi Dakai's brother Shi Zhenqi. Shi Zhenqi has been in Lin'an Mansion for more than two years, and he has built this magnificent mansion in a big way. However, after Shi Da's troops were frustrated, the Xianghuai army counterattacked Yunnan. The city of Lin'an fell into the hands of the Xianghuai army, and naturally this magnificent mansion also became the Xianghuai army.

But those days didn't last long. Last year, the Qin army rose up, and when people from all walks of life started fighting, they were all devastated, and they were like a bamboo. Liu Zhuo is the least famous of the five soldiers. But just like this, he also won more than half of Guangnan Mansion, Kaihua Mansion, Lin'an Mansion, and more than half of Guangxi Prefecture. For a long time, the army pressed on Anfu City, and the Qing army fought several times. After repeated defeats, Lin'an Fucheng, which had just improved a little, once again decayed at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. This year, Shi Dakai's army in southwestern Yunnan took the opportunity to counterattack the Qing army. There were many rebel armies in Guizhou, and Guangxi was the territory of the Qin army. Grain from other provinces is almost impossible to transport into Yunnan, and Yunnan has been in war for many years, its own agricultural production is very problematic, and it is impossible to be self-sufficient in grain. Due to the lack of sufficient food, the inhabitants of the city began to flee in large numbers in February, and in just half a month, no less than 1,000 families of soldiers and civilians fled from the city. If it weren't for Zhang Shusheng's strong order to stop it, it would only take a month, and Lin'an Mansion City would probably become an empty city.

And why Zhang Shusheng didn't let the people leave the city, it was because the Xianghuai army in the city needed a large number of young and strong men to work for themselves, or to be substitutes for the dead.

"Your Excellency, you've been standing here for too long, beware of attracting suspicion." A young man whispered behind the middle-aged man and reminded.

"Haha, what if some people suspect it, now that the city is hungry, who still has the heart to buy lives for the Manchu lackeys?" The middle-aged man sneered, his eyes still looking at the mansion in front of him, and the corners of his eyes did not hide the sneer.

At this time, a group of Xianghuai troops came from nearby, although the middle-aged man said lightly, when he saw this group of Xianghuai troops coming, he immediately retracted his eyes and said in a low voice: "Go." He exited the street with the young man and disappeared into an alley.

"Tsk!" A cry of surprise sounded from among the ranks of the Xianghuai army.

"My lord, what's the matter?" A small soldier asked busily.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm dazzled." The officer of the Xianghuai Army who led the team shook his head. But I secretly wondered in my heart, I seemed to have seen an acquaintance just now, but how could it be, he had already been expelled from the army last year, how could he dare to appear in Lin'an Mansion City?

At the beginning, Xianghuai joined forces to suppress Feng Zicai, this guy really wants to appear in Yunnan, and he should go to Kunming to vote for Feng Zicai.

This group of soldiers of the Xianghuai Army, with old uniforms and slightly pale faces, was much better than the starving people in the city. The status of the military is obviously more important, and the food is probably guaranteed.

It is the duty of an officer to patrol the streets and prevent riots. Although the officer who led the team suspected that he had seen a person who should not have been here, but the other party had already retreated, and in line with the principle that more things are better than less, he put what had just happened to the back of his mind for a while.

"Smack, smack, smack." Two single knocks sounded in a courtyard of a house in the city, and as soon as the sound stopped, there was a rush of footsteps in the courtyard. Then there was a "squeak", and the door of the house opened a crack about one person wide, and a young man about twenty years old saw the middle-aged man in front of the door through the gap, "My lord, you are back." ”

"Hmm." The middle-aged man nodded, flashed into the courtyard with his companions, and the young man who opened the door looked out again, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he immediately closed the courtyard door again.

The house covers a wide area, and the front yard alone is several acres in size. Although it is far from being comparable to the mansion just now, it is obviously not something that ordinary people can have. As soon as the middle-aged man and his companion entered the hospital, a young man wearing a Qing army uniform greeted him, and when he saw the middle-aged man coming back safely, his face flashed with joy, and he complained and flattered: "Master Li, why did you go out in person, if you have any orders, you must do your humble job." ”

"Nothing, just go outside and have a look." Middle-aged humane.

"I see, I see......" the young military attache stopped talking on the subject. He knew what the person in front of him had to do with Lin'an City. When the army counterattacked Yunnan, this Lin'an Mansion was led by Feng Zicai, and the one in front of him was the number one hero who captured the city of Lin'an Mansion. Because of this, he was promoted from the rank of deputy general to the general soldier, and was also named Junyong Baturu. The magnificent mansion in the city was the mansion of the chief soldier at that time.

It's a pity that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. Soon, 'Master Li' was really lacking by the Huai Army's people, and he was also humiliated by the Huai Army's family. If it weren't for Liu Changyou's thoughts of Feng Zicai's face, he would indeed have some grievances with 'Master Li', and he was afraid that he wouldn't even have a chance to retreat.

This middle-aged man is Li Yangcai, a very inconspicuous little person in the long history. Except for those who have studied Feng Zicai or the modern history of Vietnam, few people know that after the frustration of the Manchu officialdom, he raised troops to kill Vietnam and beat the Vietnamese Nguyen Dynasty after the frustration of the Manchu officialdom.

He is now a member of the Qin Army's Military Intelligence Department, and he has been active in Lin'an Mansion for half a month, the purpose of course is to rebel against some old troops in the city and reduce the resistance of the Qin army to attack the city.

Although the Qin army has won many battles since it started its army, it has not seen a single defeat. But Liu Zhuo did not dare to underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Xianghuai Army. After all, they still have so many guns in their hands.

Zhong Wanxin and Liu Jianghua were Li Yangcai's old subordinates. After Li Yangcai was expelled, his subordinates were scattered and scattered for resettlement, and the remaining 1,000 people were combined with the battalion head of Chen Chaogang, the general under Feng Zicai, and were still stationed in Lin'an Fucheng. Zhong Wanxin and Liu Jianghua are the officers who led the remaining 1,000 people.

Under the new commander-in-chief, the situation of the two is very difficult. Chen Chaogang did not treat them as his own people, and when he was not fighting, at most he patrolled and worked hard at night, but later Chen Chaogang followed the Xianghuai army to meet the Qin army, and Chen was able to take Zhong Wanxin and Liu Jianghua's camp, and as a result, the strength of more than 1,000 people became the current seven or eight hundred. The two of them have a strong resentment towards Chen Chaogang and Xianghuai Army in their hearts. Moreover, on the battlefield in the southwest, the confrontation between the Qing army and the Qin army was a battle and a defeat, and both of them were about to lose confidence in victory, and at this time Li Yang appeared in front of them. Zhong Wanxin and Liu Jianghua are not attached to the trend.

Li Yangcai and the former, the young military attaché, Zhong Wanxin's nephew Zhong Yongguang.

"How is Liu Jing, can you pull it over?"

Li Yangcai said to Zhong Yongguang. He is Feng Zicai's old man, and he is very familiar with the people under Chen Chaogang, Liu Jing is the one who can fight the most in battle, and the military discipline of the battalion head under his command is also relatively good. Li Yang understood the rules and regulations of the Qin army, and knew that the Qin army's favorite thing to incorporate was troops like Liu Jing.

And Liu Jing is not a person like Zhong Wanxin and Liu Jianghua who has few troops under him. He was one of the main cadres under Chen Chaogang, with a strength of more than 1,000 people. If he can be persuaded to surrender, plus the troops under Zhong and Liu, Lin'an Mansion City can almost be attacked without attacking.

"This ......" Zhong Yongguang's face showed a difficult color. Liu Jing is Chen Chaogang's general, and Chen Chaogang is not as harsh on Liu Jing as he is on Zhong Wanxin and Liu Jianghua. Can Liu Jing be convinced?

"What? Difficult? ”

"My lord, Liu Jing has always been trusted by Chen Chaogang, and it is difficult to persuade him to surrender. If you act rashly, you are afraid that you will startle the snake and bring trouble to adults, which is not beautiful. However, the humble uncle is good friends with Yang Fengchun, and he may be able to persuade Yang Fengchun to surrender to our army. ”

Li Yangcai was slightly disappointed, "What position does Yang Fengchun have?" ”

"Lord Hui, this person is the guard of the East Gate position outside the city." (To be continued......) R1292
