"What! Hai Reverse is about to attack Xiangyang? "Obviously, Xiangyang has changed hands, but Guo Shijie and Kazhu have just gotten the news." How is this possible, did Hai Reverse fly to the city of Xiangyang? What, Yue Shenglong is treasonous and rebellious, how is this possible? Guo Shijie looked at the messenger opposite in dumbfounded, if it weren't for the other party holding the Huguang Governor Guan Fang, he would definitely think that the other party was pretending to be Zheng Jun. Lord Ka, what do you think should be done about this? ”
The full-length governor said that the commander of the Han army banner collaborated with the enemy, and this reason was really not something that a small general soldier could bear, so Guo Shijie had to kick the ball to the feet of the same full-fledged and Jingqi background.
However, Kazhu is also a glazed egg, and he will not accept it lightly: "Lord Guo, the military order of the military department is to let us obey the moderation of the Zhennan battalion, although Lord Gartu is the governor of Huguang, but he can't send our brothers at will." ”
"Lord Tutong," the messenger of Galtu was immediately anxious when he heard this. "In case Xiangfan is lost, not only will the more than 10,000 soldiers under the two adults not be able to return to their hometowns, but even the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Zhennan camp will die without a place to be buried!"
Ka Zhu's face changed suddenly: "Bold, a mere clothed slave dares to point fingers and roar at the festival, and someone will be driven out!" ”
The pro-soldiers on the side were just about to act, but Guo Shijie cautiously pulled the placket of his clothes: "Lord Guo, what do you mean by this!" ”
"Lord Ka, be cautious." Guo Shijie led Kazhu to the side of the map. "This person is right, as far as we have seen along the way, the west is a reckless mountain, the southeast is either the Yangtze River or occupied by the sea, our way back is only Xiangfan, in case Xiangfan is lost, we will really become a turtle in the urn."
"Then Lord Guo means that we will return north immediately." Kazhu couldn't hold it on his face, and said in his heart, it was you who asked for advice, Lao Tzu sang red face, and you came to sing white face, what do you mean. "But if the sea is against the sound of the east and the west, wouldn't it delay the time to join forces with the Zhennan battalion, if the king of Pingjun blames him, who will bear this responsibility."
Holding the yin and yang weirdness, Guo Shijie didn't reply with a color, just frowned and explained: "Lord Ka, this matter would rather be credible than not, if Xiangfan is fine, at most it will be a missed date, but if something really goes wrong, these tens of thousands of soldiers will be lost in Huguang, and they will have to shake the foundation of the imperial court." ”
Seeing that Kazhu was unmoved, Guo Shijie said again: "With the warrant of Lord Gartu, what responsibility do you and I have." ”
After pondering for a while, Guo Shijie's words are not bad. If you obey his dispatch and make a mistake, the responsibility will naturally be the other party's, but if he does not obey his dispatch and makes a mistake, then his small body can not afford to bear the blame.
Now that he has figured it out, Kazhu also went downhill along the steps given by Guo Shijie: "Lord Guo's words are good, when the sky falls, there will naturally be tall people on top, and this official is in vain." ”
However, although Kazhu agreed to return for help, he was still a little uneasy, and he said, "Do you want to report to Jingzhou?" ”
Guo Shijie looked at the messenger: "Did Lord Gartu let you continue to go south to make an emergency?" ”
The answer is naturally no, so Guo Shijie speculated: "Has the sea rebel not yet surrounded Xiangyang?" ”
This time, the answer was yes, and he stopped doing it when he heard it: "It turned out that the old bastard was in hysteria, Lord Guo, let's stop the matter of returning to help, these more than 300 miles have made the sons and daughters below bump back and forth, and spread out, but I am afraid that the army's heart will be unstable." ”
"That's right." Guo Shijie was also a little unsure, he thought for a while: "Since Lord Gartu doesn't want to alarm the camp in the south of the town, then let's not alarm the south either." As for the northern aid, I think we can send a tanma north to take a look, and if Lord Galtu still insists that we return to help, then it is better to go north. Of course, Kazhu agreed, but the envoy of Kaertu insisted on sending troops back now, and Guo Shijie had to come up with a compromise solution: "After the horse is out, the two battalions will be transferred from Laizhou Town to the north, and then the whole army will go out after there is definite news."
Guo Shijie's Tanma and the battalion head of the northern aid had just been sent out for two hours, and another dusty messenger broke into the camp, this time there was obviously clear information, 20,000 Xuzhou reinforcements were annihilated, and the Zheng army could surround Xiangfan anytime and anywhere, cutting off the return of tens of thousands of Qing troops.
"Quick, send someone to report to King Pingjun." Ka Zhu changed his appearance just now, and ordered anxiously, and at the same time took out the Shangguan's style and ordered Guo Shijie. "Lord Guo, the military situation is critical, we must go out immediately, and we must rush to Xiangfan within three days!"
The straight-line distance from Xiangyang to Jingmen is 300 miles, and it will arrive within three days, that is to say, it will be a hundred miles to march in a day, which does not seem to be a big problem, but you must know that there is basically a situation of traveling 100 miles a day in the entire era of cold weapons, and there is even a saying in the art of war that the one who seeks profit is the general. Therefore, at that time, the usual degree of marching in enemy territory was thirty miles per day, and even in the area controlled by one's own side, this degree was only doubled at most. Therefore, in order to fulfill the order of Kazhu, the Ka and Guo departments must march urgently.
Of course, there is no problem with the rapid march, but the key is whether Xiangfan will be surrounded within three days, and when he thought that the 20,000 follow-up troops were eaten by the Zheng army cleanly, Guo Shijie couldn't help but be frightened, so he retreated from his previous position: "Lord Ka, the sea is against the trend, let's wait for the Zhennan army to arrive and then return north together." ”
"Waiting for the Zhennan army?" Kazhu smiled bitterly. "I'm afraid that Xiangfan will have already lost by then." Of course, Kazhu knew roughly about the situation in Xiangfan City, even if he didn't know it before, he now knew it after asking Galtu's personal guards. "Lord Guo, the noble god of soldiers, as long as we can rush to Xiangfan before the fall of Xiangyang, this is a great achievement, and the emperor will definitely not be stingy with rewards!"
Kazhu said so, Guo Shijie has nothing else to say: "Come here, put 30,000 taels of silver in the army, and tell the brothers in each battalion, if you can get to Xiangfan in time, each person will have 30 taels of silver."
On the day when Ka and Guo returned to the north in a panic, Zhu Qi, who had just conquered Chongqing Prefecture, led his troops to conquer Kuizhou Mansion without stopping. Lacking siege artillery and other heavy weapons, Zhu Qi's troops conquered Kuizhou Mansion, and also adopted the method of conspiring to seize the door. Speaking of which, this set was originally done in Liaodong by the Jin family in the later years, and was also regarded as a secret to breaking the city by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other departments in the turmoil at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but now it has become a magic weapon for the "Ming army" of Zhu Qi's department to win.
The fall of Kuizhou certainly meant that the Huguang Qing army had no way to retreat eastward, and it was naturally a major loss of foreign help for the Qing army in central Sichuan. In view of the fact that the "Ming Army" under Zhu Qi's department was already claimed to be 100,000, Sang E, who had been transferred from the governor of Hunan to the general of Chengdu, had to lead the military standard and the Sichuan New Army to Chongqing urgently to the front line of Chongqing to conquer and suppress the reinforcements from Jianchang and Songpan before the reinforcements had arrived.
"My lord, the governor and the general both mean the same, that is, to give up Loushan Pass and Zunyi, and return to the division first to pacify the puppet prison country." Deng Xinhai, who has the identity of an alternate Dao, crossed the mountains and mountains along the way, and finally rushed from Luzhou to Zunyi under the leadership of the horse gang. "As long as the overall situation in Sichuan is stable, Zunyi still has a chance to get it back."
Qin Youlu, the chief soldier of Chongqing Town, is now hot, not only Zhu Qi, who seized Chongqing, sent people to threaten him to surrender with his family, but even Zheng Fan, who had found out about the chaos in eastern Sichuan, also sent people to persuade him to surrender, and now with the envoy from Chengdu, he can basically stage the Romance of the Three Kingdoms here.
Since the three parties have requirements, Qin Youlu naturally wants to take a look: "Back to the division, the governor and the general said that it is easy, Chongqing has fallen, the grain road in central Sichuan has been cut off, and Chongqing Town is about to run out, what support will be used to return to the division." Besides, the families of our soldiers are all in Chongqing and Kuizhou, and now their lives and deaths are unknown, and the morale of the army is very turbulent. ”
Of course, Deng Xinhai understood that real money was needed to impress General Qin: "Since the military rations are insufficient, it is even more necessary to return to the army immediately, otherwise once the food is cut off, Chongqing Town may collapse." ”
Looking at someone Qin with a cloudy face, Deng Xinhai threw out a bone: "It is precisely because of the difficulty of understanding Chongqing Town, when I came, the army had agreed to open the Zunyi treasury and try to meet the needs of Chongqing Town. ”
The so-called collection of subsidies is, of course, a high-sounding statement, if Qin Youlu's heart is calm, he can use this excuse to blackmail large households, if Qin Youlu's heart is ruthless, he can use this excuse to plunder Quan Zunyi, in this regard, in order to hope to open up Kuimen, the Qing court Sichuan Provincial Government will turn a blind eye.
But Deng Xinhai's bones are obviously not enough, because Zunyi is now under the control of Chongqing Town, and it is also Qin Youlu's sentence to be round and flat, so naturally there is no need to accept Chengdu's empty checks, so Deng Xinhai has no choice but to throw another bone: "If Chongqing Town returns to the division and helps the war to exterminate the puppet prison country, the Governor is willing to take the Governor a step further, and the imperial court will also be rewarded." ”
The general soldier went further, of course, he was the commander, but there were only a few commanders in the country, which was simply impossible for Chengdu to call the shots, as for Shixun, seeing that the rule of the Qing court was already crumbling, what was the use of Shixun, so Qin Youlu was just perfunctory.
When Deng Xinhai was sent to the guest room to rest with an ugly face, Qin Youlu had to think about it.
That's right, now with the tripartite force, he must plan and then move, otherwise there will be unexpected risks. But which one do the three parties choose? Zhu Qi's foundation is thin, in the past, he belonged to sending charcoal in the snow, and he was naturally rich and prosperous, but because of his thin foundation, he would inevitably die without a place to be buried under the attack of the two parties. If the Qing Dynasty is chosen, the key lies in the soldiers' rations, and Zheng Jun will inevitably take advantage of the gap to enter, and the other party cannot be expected not to beat the water dogs. But if Zheng Fan is chosen, the soldiers' rations will not be a problem, and they will not be beaten as water dogs, but all the subordinates' families are under Zhu Qi's control, and if his life changes, he may not be able to control the troops.
Qin Youlu, who was in a dilemma for a while, thought about it for a while, and finally said to the door: "Go and invite the envoy of the Zheng family"
