Because of a coincidence, Lin Sheng, who succeeded Wang Xinhua, who was transferred to the general army of Zhejiang, was in charge of Huguang Shuaiyin, and attacked on the same day that Kazhu and Guo Shijie went south from Xiangyang. With Lin Sheng's order, the Zheng army on the eastern front, which had been hidden in Huangzhou for half a month, went up the river along the river with the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas, and killed all the way to the northwest of Hubei.

Due to the previous entanglement between the Zheng army and the Qing army in the Xiaogan and Huangpi lines, both sides suffered a lot of losses in this small but bloody face-to-face white soldier battle on the main battlefield of the Western Front, so the Qing army did not show the Zheng army's actions at the first time. In addition, due to the lack of troops on the eastern front after the main force of the Zhennan battalion was transferred west to Jingzhou, the Qing army did not deploy defenders at the forefront of Xiaogan and Yunmeng, so the Zheng army that attacked quickly seized the above areas, and then continued to advance to De'an Mansion (note: An 6, but it is not the same thing as An 6 Mansion in the Ming and Qing dynasties).

"Military Gate!" With a hurried call, two personal soldiers helped a bloody man to rush into the Huguang Governor's Yamen, which was temporarily set up in De'an Mansion, and appeared in front of Admiral Yue Shenglong. "Junmen, it's not good, the sentinel report that Hai Rebellion has captured Yunmeng County, and now the army is advancing towards De'an."

Yue Shenglong, who was awarded the title of Commander of the Cloud Cavalry for his military exploits in the conquest of Galdan, was promoted from the General Military Commander of Tianjin to the Governor of Huguang a year ago, but now it is different from the past, and his promotion to the Governor of Huguang is not entirely a compliment, but a hope that he will continue to work hard. Speaking of hard work, there are also desperate benefits, such as military merits, but there are three generals, the general of the county king, the general of Jingzhou and the governor, and the dignified commander is just a pawn who comes and goes at a moment's notice, and it is not his turn to command the army at all.

And what made Yue Shenglong even more disappointed was that because of the military situation at the front, the two towns in Huguang were all directly commanded by the Zhennan battalion, and his dignified eight-seat commander could only manage the promotion, and it was only two battalions of the five battalions, which was even worse than when he was the chief soldier.

Finally, when the Zheng army attacked Jingzhou and the main force of the Zhennan battalion went west, Yue Shenglong got the command of the eastern front. But it was also at this time that his current so-called command of the Eastern Front was just for him to hold the key points and act as a shield for the front line when the Zheng army attacked. This moment, of course, made him resentful.

Speaking of which, Yue Shenglong's name has been submerged in the history of the time and space in Zheng Kezang's previous life, but he has a famous son Yue Zhongqi, whether it is Zhong Qi or "Loyal Banner" Let's not say, but compared to the son who is surrounded by Yongzheng in another time and space, Yue Shenglong at this moment obviously has greater autonomy. Of course, this kind of autonomy was not given to him by Kangxi or Kattu, but because the military was urgent, he only had two battalions around him, one battalion to supervise the standard, and a few battalion leaders such as the Jingmen battalion and the Qizhou battalion.

"The army of sea rebels?" Yue Shenglong, who was writing with a pen, frowned as he looked at the anxious soldiers in front of him and the injured who were out of breath. "Which battalion are you from? Where did you meet the sea reversal, and how many people are there in the sea reversal? ”

"The lowly position is, he is the commander of the Qizhou battalion," Tanma, whose voice was intermittent, reported with the last bit of strength. "In the north ten mile store of Yunmeng City, I met and met the sea adversity and the brigade, and I fled desperately, and Brother Quanxun was left, and I was the only one left."

"Come on, notify the guerrillas of the Qizhou battalion to come and recognize people." Yue Shenglong resolutely ordered, it wasn't that he didn't believe the evidence on Tanma, it was really too big a matter for him to be cautious.

When the guards ran out of the door, Yue Shenglong dropped his pen, walked from the desk to the dying Tanma, leaned over, and asked again: "You have seen the sea rebellion brigade, then do you see how many soldiers and horses the sea rebellion has?" ”

"It's a lot," Tanma's pupils were dilated, and his voice was faintly audible, forcing Yue Shenglong to put his ear to the other party's mouth despite the blood stains on the other party's body. "Many, thirty thousand, thirty thousand"

Before he finished speaking, the general head hung down, and his breath was gone.

Yue Shenglong stood up straight, took two steps in the courtyard, and ordered: "Close the four gates, order the Jingmen battalion, the Qizhou battalion, the camp behind the supervision and the camp before the standard to be on guard on the city wall, and in addition, if there is a horse back, it will be brought to see me immediately." ”

"My lord," said Goshhajian, who was close to him on the side. "Do you want to send a fast horse to report to Xiangyang immediately!"

"No need." Yue Shenglong shook his head. "It's just a lone witness, if you report to Xiangyang about this, it will be too much to be a soldier, so let's wait for news from other sentinels." Yue Shenglong said this, and suddenly remembered something. "The order goes down, and no one is allowed to leave the city without the order of this admiral."

The guards retreated with the corpses, Yue Shenglong returned to the study, looked up at the map in front of him and suddenly laughed wildly: "Good calculation, good calculation, as long as Xiangyang is captured, the Zhennan army will have only one way to die." ”

Yue Shenglong is the commander of Huguang from Yipin, and it is impossible to hide from anyone who is hiding the military situation, so it is naturally impossible not to know the news that the military spirit was shaken after the repeated defeats of the Zhennan battalion and the disaster in eastern Sichuan and the cutting off of the grain road in central Sichuan, so when Zheng Jun finally tried to meet the dagger, he immediately understood the opponent's arrangement.

"Thirty thousand troops, let's be mistaken, then there are no less than one or two thousand, the vanguard has one or two thousand, and the sea is reversed, no, the total strength of the Zheng army is not 100,000, but also 70,000 or 80,000." Yue Shenglong struck a heavy blow on the map. "If these 70,000 or 80,000 come to attack me, with less than 10,000 soldiers and horses in De'an City, it will naturally be a mantis arm as a car. If you give me up to attack Xiangyang? Yue Shenglong's brows froze, and then he relaxed. As long as Xuzhou's reinforcements are not in Xiangfan City, they will definitely be able to succeed in one blow, it seems that my little pawn is really useful, hehe, hehe. Yue Shenglong burst into laughter again. I'm afraid that I didn't think that I would be where I am today. After talking to himself, Yue Shenglong suddenly yelled out the window. Let Yue Kang get in. ”

Yue Kang, who was the nephew of Yue Shenglong's clan, quickly appeared in front of Yue Shenglong: "6 husband, I have a secret for you to handle!" ”

Listening to Yue Shenglong's detailed explanation in his ear, Yue Kang's face appeared with an extremely shocked look, he Yue Shenglong finished explaining, looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and asked: "Uncle, fornication with the sea, this, this, but the Yi Nine Clan, our whole sect is still in Gansu, this, this"

"Stupid!" Yue Shenglong scolded. "If you say it, if you don't need to Yi Jiu Clan, we will die in De'an City." Yue Shenglong patted Yue Kang on the shoulder. "If the general trend is today, the Qing Dynasty is stormy, we can't be blindly loyal, besides, Hai Rebel is willing to exchange thousands of captured flagmen and flag soldiers for the dependents of Cao Zhongying's department, can't he help us change?" Yue Kang pondered that this was really the case, and at this time he listened to Yue Shenglong continue. "Of course, getting you in touch doesn't have to change hands immediately, you have to get them to agree to our terms. You don't have to worry, your uncle has already thought about it, if it weren't for us to change banners, the sea rebellion would win or lose in half, but if we were added, the sea rebellion would win a big victory, so they couldn't help but agree to our conditions. Take another 10,000 steps back, even if we don't agree, then we have bought time to defend, and we can carefully find out the strength of Zheng Jun."

"What? Yue Shenglong wants to surrender. "Yue Kang, who pretended to be a new explorer, met the Zheng army's forward shortly after leaving the city, and before the two sides could fight, Yue Kang put on a posture of surrender, so he was quickly sent to the commander, and then because what he said was too big, he passed it from one level to another, and before nightfall, he was finally taken to Lin Sheng's camp." What are the conditions. ”

Although Yue Kang, who had confidence, knew that the person standing in front of him had a high status in the Zheng army, he still talked eloquently without fear: "My lord asked me to ask King Xia for three promises, first, my lord is the admiral of the Qing Dynasty, and naturally he can't lower this position when he arrives in the Southern Dynasty; Second, the Qing Dynasty gave my lord the title of Tuosha Lahafan, and if he really wants to change his banner, he must have an earl; Third, the Yue family's clan is still in Gansu, and if it is annexed, it is afraid of being harmed by the Qing court, and it must be preserved by the Southern Dynasty. ”

"It's better to protect the clan, Admiral, Earl." Lin Sheng looked at each other with a smile. "Your military gate is just a turtle in our army's urn, isn't it shameful to ask for a price, it's wrong, are you waiting for a plan to delay the army?"

Yue Kang's heart was beating wildly when Lin Sheng said part of his thoughts, but his face still did not change: "It is undeniable that along the way, the villain saw your army waving its banner and the army was huge, but De'an is a capital city, and there are 10,000 people in the city to defend it, if my family is determined to defend it, I am afraid that your army may not be able to seize Xiangyang in front of the Zhennan army." ”

Lin Sheng nodded: "Yue Junmen is indeed a battlefield general, and the thoughts of this domain can be seen clearly, but since our army has abundant troops, can't we encircle De'an with one part and point the rest directly to Xiangyang?" As for the defense of Xiangfan, the official is still clear, and I am afraid that there are not many men and horses in the hands of Galtu. ”

"This lord is wrong." Yue Kang chuckled. "Lord Gartu doesn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, but two days ago, the vanguard of the army transferred from Xuzhou has passed through Xiangyang, and there will be 30,000 or 40,000 horses and horses to come later," Yue Kang looked at the generals of the Zheng clan who had changed color, and said with some sarcasm. "Do such adults still think that Galtu can't hold Xiangfan?"

"Forty thousand Xuzhou soldiers and horses?" Hong Hui, the first-class Privy Council member standing beside Lin Sheng, couldn't hold back and blurted out. "That's true." Yue Kang nodded arrogantly, and Hong Hui said again. "Then let me ask you, when will these 40,000 enemies arrive?"

Yue Kang smiled at this time and did not answer, seeing Yue Kang's style, the generals present gasped.

"The matter is very high, and this official wants to report to King Xia that he knows." The asking price of the admiral and the earl was no longer something that Lin Sheng could agree, so Lin Sheng had to report to Zheng Kezang, and in addition, he had to check the authenticity of the Qing army reinforcements. "Go down and wait."

"Yes." Yue Kang responded, but reminded before turning around. "Without further ado, it will change later, and please hurry up."

Lin Sheng waved his hand unhappily: "This official doesn't need you to remind him"
