Huang Qi and others occupied Chengtian because Chengtian was the birthplace of Emperor Jiajing, and of course it had to be well protected. Huang Qi and others won the first battle, defeated Li Chengdong's men and horses, and successfully occupied Chengtian Mansion.

Li Chengdong's subordinate Luo Chengyao surrendered to Huang Qi and others, and because of his surrender, it was very useful to break up Li Chengdong's men.

Zhang Biwu rewarded Luo Chengyao with great fanfare, and before Zhang Biwu arrived, he first sent someone to reward Luo Chengyao with gold, and the purpose was very clear, that is, to persuade Li Chengdong's others to vote.

At the same time, Zhang Biwu also issued a message to inform Li Chengdong's army that as long as they tied Li Chengdong to offer each other, or came to vote, they would all be given a heavy reward, and they would not be blamed for the past!

If you follow Li Chengdong to resist the heavenly soldiers and don't save Emperor Yongli, then you will be killed!

As soon as Li Chengdong heard about it, he was extremely angry, he occupied Jingzhou, and he didn't dare to expand his power to Wuchang, how could he say that Wuchang was also the provincial capital of Huguang!

Now Zhang Biwu's army is approaching, and his men and horses are all afraid of fighting Zhang Biwu, they are afraid of Zhang Biwu's army's fierceness, with their combat strength, even the Manchu Qing can't deal with it, and then deal with Zhang Biwu's people, isn't it more difficult?

Li Jun generally did not want to fight anymore. Li Chengdong thought that he couldn't hold Jingzhou, so he wanted to go south to retreat, if there was really no way, he had to see if Zhang Biwu could let him go, and he and Zhang Biwu united together to go south to Guangxi to rescue Yongli.

Li Chengdong won't say that he is running away, what he said is that he wants to go south to save Yongli, so that he can plug Zhang Biwu's excuse - he, Li Chengdong, will not send troops to save Yongli. I hope Zhang Biwu can withdraw from the army. Let Zhang Biwu stand unstable in his attack on him in terms of speech.

Li Chengdong's retreat. It was already expected by Zhang Biwu. He did not come directly to Chengtian Mansion, but went straight to Jingzhou Mansion, he wanted to block Li Chengdong, and at the same time ordered Huang Qi and others to attack together.

The vanguard of Zhang Biwu's army first pursued Li Chengdong's rear, and as soon as the two sides clashed, Zhang Biwu's army, which was like a wolf and a tiger, beat Li Chengdong's men and horses to pieces.

Li Chengdong only knew that Lu Dao was on the run, and he didn't have the courage to turn back and kill at the same time. He also had to send someone to ask Zhang Biwu not to pursue him anymore, he was willing to follow Zhang Biwu.

Of course, Li Chengdong was not stupid enough to wait slowly, he still ordered the whole army to retreat together, run as fast as possible, and escape with his life first, which is the most important thing.

The first army was in front of it, and it was Zhang Biwu's Daxu who was fighting, "Go!" Li Chengdong shouted, and he went east. saw Huang Qi and others leading the army to stop him.

Li Chengdong shouted: "Go the other way!" Come on! As he spoke, he whipped the horse's ass with all his might, and fled quickly.

"Boom! Boom! "Cannon roared. Most of the people who rushed to the front were killed. And the ambush soldiers also immediately got up.

"Ahh Li Chengdong was shocked, he never thought that the back road was also cut off, when did Zhang Biwu send an army to ambush here?

"Li Chengdong!" Zhang Biwu appeared, pointed at him with a whip, and said, "Where are you still fleeing!" ”

Li Chengdong looked at Zhang Biwu and said, "Master Hou, I didn't run away!" I'm going to save the emperor with you! Why are you attacking me? This is a matter of pain for relatives and happiness for enemies! Master Hou! ”

"Humph!" Zhang Biwu sneered and said, "Li Chengdong, you better get off the horse and be bound!" Now you can't escape! ”

Zhang Biwu's soldiers all held bird guns and bows and arrows at Li Chengdong's men and horses, "Surrender and don't kill!" Forgive somebody's past misdeeds! ”

Li Chengdong saw that the headquarters was shaken, he and these horses are all rabble, robbers, and if there is milk, he is his mother, and now that the situation is unfavorable, do you still want them to work hard for Li Chengdong? That's impossible! Let's run for their lives! Li Chengdong's men and horses were scattered in a hurry.

Li Chengdong drove a war horse, he asked his cronies to block Zhang Biwu, he wanted to escape, there was a river in front of him, he couldn't care about so much, as long as he could escape, everything would be fine.

With a "bang", Zhang Biwu aimed at Li Chengdong and fired a shot, which was his war horse, Li Chengdong's war horse was shot, and immediately fell down.

"Rush! Capture Li Chengdong! The cavalry rushed towards Li Chengdong at high speed. Li Chengdong's cronies still wanted to resist, but the resistance was powerless, and in just a few moments, they were all wiped out.

When others see that the situation is already like this, what can they do if they continue to fight? It's better to surrender earlier.

Li Chengdong was caught, and his more than 30,000 men and horses all surrendered, it turned out that Li Chengdong only had 20,000 people when he came to Huguang, he quickly absorbed 30,000 people to join, and when Zhang Biwu attacked, 20,000 people had been dispersed.

Many of the 30,000 people are women who are mothers, and Zhang Biwu knows that it is difficult to make them truly serve the country and serve him. It is better to let the Dashun army digest this group in the name of giving it to the Dashun army, and of course he will select 2,000 people from 30,000 people as his soldiers.

Li Chengdong was escorted, and Zhang Biwu also found the survivors of the three massacres in Jiading and asked them to decide Li Chengdong's life and death.

The survivors hated Li Chengdong to death, and they couldn't wait to eat Li Chengdong's meat, so how could they let Li Chengdong go? They all pounced on it, eating Li Chengdong raw, and Li Chengdong's wailing kept shouting and asking for mercy, but to no avail. After the worst, Li Chengdong was dismembered by the angry survivors.

After these survivors took revenge, they began to burn paper money to the deceased, telling them that it was already revenge.

For Li Chengdong's subordinates, unless it is a very few people who have committed the most heinous crimes and need to be killed, everyone else must be let go, Zhang Biwu is worried that if he kills too many people, it will provoke a counterattack from Li Chengdong's army, and the situation will not be easy to clean up.

Zhang Biwu's army marched towards Wuchang, and at this moment, he heard that a Qing army from Hanzhong and Chongqing was going to the north of Huguang, so he wanted to cut off Zhang Biwu's way.

Zhang Biwu smiled, and knew that the Manchu Qing Dynasty would use such a method to make him unable to enter the army again, he only left 10,000 people here to defend, and the other 30,000 people still marched with him.

Zhang Biwu's army pointed directly at Wuchang City, Wuchang City was already an empty city at this time, when Li Chengdong escaped from Guangzhou, he did not occupy Wuchang, he was afraid of being attacked, so he went north. After all, Wuchang is He Tengjiao's station, and since the war, Wuchang has suffered a lot of damage.

When Zuo Liangyu garrisoned Wuchang, the damage to Wuchang was great, including Li Zicheng's retuning here. This is the reason why Li Chengdong did not stay in Wuchang.

It was very easy for Zhang Biwu to break Wuchang, but when he saw the ruins of Wuchang City, he didn't feel a little sad.

"Report!" Hou Qi quickly came to report. Zhang Biwu looked at him and asked, "How is it?" Hou Qi replied: "My lord, Guangxi has been lost!" After Li Dingguo was in charge, the emperor retreated to Yunnan. And Sun Kewang actually took the opportunity to kidnap the emperor! ”

"What!" When Zhang Biwu heard this, he was depressed! actually let Sun Kewang pick up a big bargain!

Sun Kewang didn't look at being driven out of Shudi, but he was able to hold Yongli hostage, and he was not a big loss, he would be able to blackmail the princes of the world in the future. It's just that the weight of the son of heaven in Yongli is not large.

Zhang Biwu said: "Okay! Then our army will temporarily be stationed in Wuchang, distribute grain in Wuchang to help the refugees, and let the people proclaim the benevolence and righteousness of our army! At the same time, I also want to see what Sun Kewang will do after he kidnaps Emperor Yongli! And in which direction will the situation go! ”

After Sun Kewang held Yongli hostage, he also understood Yongli's heart, so in the name of Yongli, he issued an edict to all anti-Qing forces, ordering them to immediately attack the Qing army with all their might, in order to recover the lost territory immediately. He also claimed that now is the best time for a decisive battle with the Qing army!

In particular, Li Dingguo was the general of the Eastern Expedition, and let him go east to recover the land of Liangguang. With Zhang Biwu as the general of Zhenbei, he returned north to run the Central Plains.

Zhang Biwu held the edict and shook his head, he understood what Sun Kewang meant, Sun Kewang finally escaped into Yunnan together, and he could hold Yongli hostage, of course he didn't want others to grab the treasure in his hand with him.

Now there is only one good way, and that is to use the pretext of resisting the Qing Dynasty to quickly send troops to fight the Qing army. Not to mention that everything he did was really reasonable! It is worth affirming that we should go all out to fight the Qing army.

In addition, this edict was extremely beneficial to Zhang Biwu, and he didn't want to go south, fearing that the tiger would suffer misfortune and lose his foundation if he stayed away from the nest. Now borrowing this edict to overturn the previous edict that made him hurry to serve the king, Zhang Biwu led his troops back to the north.

It can be said that Sun Kewang suddenly changed his troops and directly joined Yongli who fled into Yunnan, and also held Emperor Yongli hostage, which was something that Dolgon never expected.

It was this variable that made Dolgon's plan come to naught! Dorgon was now very angry, he kicked over the thing, and yelled, "What a fool! You're a grandson! You fuck me, you know how to ruin my good deeds! If Zhang Biwu destroys Li Chengdong and has a bad reputation and has to go south, he will leave the nest, and then I will be able to recover Shanxi, maybe even Henan can be recovered! No matter how Zhang Biwu returns to the division, he is also a tired old division, and he is also difficult to compete with our army due to the great reduction in combat power! Damn it! None of this can be done! ”

Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou did not speak.

Dorgon looked at them and asked, "What should I do about this?" Although we already have two vast lands, it is not consistent with what we originally thought! It's all Sun Kewang who has ruined our plan! ”

Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou are both looking at each other, and they are also thinking of a good way! (To be continued......)
