The beauty is like jade.

Gao Huijun is like a warm waterbed, allowing Zhai Zhe to enjoy the most comfortable time in Huguang. He likes this energetic body, like driving a violent wild horse, and only in the energetic body can he find a sense of conquest, just like ......, like Ulan who met in the steppe.

Like Yangzhou Skinny Horse, he didn't even want to look at it. In fact, like Liu Suifeng, he doesn't like the wind of waste in Jiangnan. But only in a rich place can that kind of atmosphere grow, and he can dislike the squires and Fushe sons in Jiangnan, but he needs the silver rice in Jiangnan.

Thinking of the princess of Tumut, Zhai Zhe had a trace of longing, he hadn't seen Ulan for a long time, and after he recovered Jiangnan, the time spent with the two was much less than before. This is the price of gaining power.

No matter how many women he had, Ulan was always the most unique one. When he was in the grassland, he once fantasized about returning there with Ulan to herd horses when the world was pacified, and when the beard was white. Now it seems that I was still too young at the beginning.

Liu Suifeng did a very right thing, Gao Huijun was the kind of woman he liked.

But in Zhai Zhe's current position, countless people want to send their daughter's family to the general's arms, and it has never been a question of which woman he likes. Marrying Gao Huijun, the Loyal Battalion will be more loyal to the General's Mansion than any army.

Because, they have no choice.

Seven days later, the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou City prepared grain, grass and firearms.

Li Laiheng had 10,000 soldiers and horses, Yuan Zong's 10,000 soldiers and horses, Fang Yuanke had 10,000 soldiers and horses, and Bao Guang led 3,000 personal guards and Zuo Ruo left 10,000 Jiangnan Ming troops.

A total of 43,000 troops were ready to go, and the general escaped from the gentle countryside in time.

Du Yinxi has not yet arrived in Jingzhou, but Zhai Zhe believes that Liu Suifeng has the ability to invite him over. In Huguang, only Du Yinxi can restrain the loyal battalion soldiers who stayed in Jingzhou.

Li Guo and Gao Yigong came to see him off.

Gao Huijun was also in the crowd, although she was only a concubine, her status today was before the two commanders. She will remain in Jingzhou Mansion until the general triumphs and brings her back to Jiangnan. Zhai Zhe didn't go back, and she didn't dare to go to Hangzhou alone. She heard Liu Suifeng say that the two ladies were not fierce people, but hearing was false, seeing was believing, hearing was false, and relying on the brothers of the loyal camp could she live more comfortably.

The official road from Jingzhou to Xiangyang is interspersed with mountains, but compared to the road from Hanyang Mansion to Xiangyang, the smoothness here makes Zuo Ruo envious.

The main force of the Ming army under Hanyang City must first break through Xiaogan, and then pass through Suizhou to see Xiangyang City. To explain simply, Zhai Zhe walked a bowstring-like road, while Zuo wanted to walk with a bowback, and that bowback spanned countless lofty mountains.

The two Ming armies will march to Xiangyang in two ways, and finally converge at the foot of Xiangyang City.

How important is Yangyang City?

The city is located at the junction of the Central Plains Plain and the Huguang Mountains, and has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. Zhai Zhe only had to capture Xiangyang in order for Huguang to form a complete defense system, otherwise Jingzhou would always be under the threat of Qing troops.

Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the general's battle flag once again set foot on the journey.

Because he was worried that the cavalry of the Qing army would be ambushed along the way, the Ming army walked very slowly, anyway, it would take some time for Zuo Ruo to lead the army to Xiangyang City, and Zhai Zhe was not in a hurry.

There was no dangerous terrain along the way, so there was no Qing army to block it.

Zhai Zhe didn't wait for the enemy, but waited for a friend first.

Gong Chen is here

Gong Chen arrived at the boundary of Huguang from Shanxi through Henan, and he first heard two good news, the Ming army was marching towards Xiangyang City, Lianke Hanyang and Jingzhou. There were many soldiers along the way, and without the help of merchants who were close to the local snakes, he might not have been able to reach Huguang safely.

After Xiaogan met Zuo Ruo, he went straight to Jingzhou non-stop.

When he arrived in Jingzhou, Zhai Zhe had been out with the army for two days, and he did not stay in Jingzhou, but followed closely

Seeing the vigorous momentum of the Ming army all the way, he was both happy and worried in his heart, as far as the war in Huguang was concerned, Zhai Zhe wanted to go north to Shanxi and didn't know when to wait.

Hearing that Gong Chen was coming, Zhai Zhe was very happy and ordered Fang Jin to lure him into the account.

Once an old friend, now the status is worlds apart.

After Gong Chen entered the tent to visit, he told the situation in Shanxi in detail, and said bitterly: "I'm afraid that Lu'an City won't be able to hold for long" He returned to Huguang not because he was afraid of death, but because he wanted to urge the general to march into Shanxi, and now it seems that this sentence is no longer necessary.

Zhai Zhe praised: "The Shanxi Righteous Army is all my bloody men"

It's just such a fluttering sentence, which can't make Gong Chen happy, he hesitated for a long time, and blurted out a sentence: "When will the general go north?" After asking, he immediately regretted that the situation was in front of him, and he shouldn't have asked this sentence.

Zhai Zhe's reply was ruthless and practical, "It depends on who can hold out longer in Xiangyang City or Lu'an City."

"Since you're back, you can stay and serve in our army."

"Obedience"

Gong Chen retreated, and he immediately got a position as a general, but it was not what he wanted most.

The Ming army killed all the way to Xiangyang City, a hundred miles away, and the scouts came to report that there were Qing soldiers stationed in the mountains in front. The army set up camp, and Zhai Zhe ordered Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi to lead a group of soldiers and horses to check the movement. The Qing soldiers had a large number of cavalry, and in order to prevent the Qing soldiers from rushing to the camp, the Ming army set up the camp all the way to the dangerous place.

Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi each led 5,000 soldiers forward, and the two of them had wandered here for many years and were familiar with the terrain of Jingxiang. Directly in front of Moqi Mountain and Jianshan Mountain, a large road leads directly to Xiangyang City. The Qing soldiers stationed soldiers and horses on the mountains on both sides.

When the two were looking at the terrain, they saw flags waving on the opposite hill, and a cavalry came out of the dense forest, and the iron hooves stepped on the ground like a torrent.

"The Qing soldiers are coming"

The former battalion soldiers shouted.

Seeing that there were not many cavalry in the Qing Dynasty, Li Laiheng took the lead in raising the banner of the battle.

Two foot soldiers raise spears, like two hedgehogs in a row. The drums beat in bursts, and the soldiers marched according to the rhythm of the war drums to meet the Qing captives.

The Qing cavalry, with only 1,000 men, rushed to a close distance and fired a burst of bows and arrows, and the Ming army returned fire with birds. Seeing that there was no chance to take advantage of it, the Qing soldiers turned around and roared away. Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi could only stare at each other, helpless. Two legs can't catch up with four legs.

The Ming army lacked cavalry, and would often be in such a predicament in the future in battles with the Qing soldiers.

Zhai Zhe is also aware of this problem. If the Ming army wants to attack the Central Plains, it can not use cavalry as the main force, but cavalry is indispensable. There are two passages to obtain war horses from the south of the Yangtze River, that is, two ancient tea horse roads. One traded with Moxi Mongolia from Sichuan, and the other was two from Shanxi.

At present, all over the Southern Ming Dynasty, the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River are floating, the war in Huguang has not been extinguished, the war in Fujian and Guangdong is not stopped, the enemy in Yunnan and Guizhou and the Great Western Army have not been distinguished, and Zhai Zhe has no time to take care of the war horse.
