Zheng Jiajun left Wuchang Mansion, Zheng Xunrui's attitude immediately changed, he quickly made a series of arrangements and deployments, the 40,000 army was divided into three parts: the front army, the middle army and the rear army, the front army was composed of 10,000 people, including 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 soldiers of the Shenji battalion, 20,000 Chinese troops, 10,000 rear troops, the front army and the Chinese army all entered Kuizhou in Sichuan, responsible for exterminating Zhang Xianzhong and his subordinates in the battle, the rear army was to stay in Huguang, secretly entered the territory of Yunyang, and found a place to station. Closely monitor all movements stationed in the Yunyang Mansion City of Ainengqi.

In order to be able to grasp the outside world's views on the Zheng Family's army to exterminate the Liukou, Zheng Xunrui learned some rumors through the Investigation Bureau, thinking that the Zheng Jiajun was definitely going to enter Henan and point the finger at Li Zicheng, who was growing in strength. To attack and exterminate Li Zicheng, you must know that Li Zicheng claims to have an army of 500,000 under his command.

Zheng Xunrui was satisfied with such speculation, and in order to achieve the unexpected effect, Zheng Xunrui specially released a message, saying that Zheng Jiajun was preparing to enter Huguang from the direction of Fengyang, and the troops were divided into two routes, all the way to clear the Liukou in Huguang, all the way to Xiangyang into Henan, and to clear the Liukou in Henan, and wait until the situation in Henan and Huguang provinces was pacified, and then concentrate troops to destroy the main force of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

Zheng Xunrui's arrangement, in the expectation of many people, after all, the rogue is powerful, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are two rogues, claiming to have an army of nearly one million, although the actual number of people cannot reach so much. But there are still hundreds of thousands, no matter how brave Zheng Jiajun is, in the face of hundreds of thousands of rogues, he still has to be cautious in the battle, and if he doesn't pay attention to it, he is likely to fail.

And when Zheng Jiajun entered Henan, he must face Li Zicheng and his subordinates.

As for Zheng Xunrui's arrangement. Whether Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong know or not, no one is sure.

Liu Zeqing led the front army of 10,000 people, entered Kuizhou, Sichuan with lightning speed, directly attacked the capital city of Kuizhou, and firmly trapped Zhang Xianzhong's main force, and must not let them evacuate the capital city of Kuizhou, Zheng Jinhong led the Chinese army of 20,000 people, and within five days of the start of the battle to attack the capital city of Kuizhou, they must arrive. When the former army and the Chinese army met, it was the beginning of the battle of the Zheng family army to completely exterminate the Liukou. ”

"Hong Xinyu led the rear army of 10,000 people, try to enter Yunyang secretly, the huge team wants to completely keep it secret is not very likely, so your speed can be a little slower, your task is to trap Ai Nengqi and his rogues in Yunyang Mansion City, so that they dare not act rashly, but they are not allowed to attack Yunyang Mansion City. This is the task of Fang Kongzhi. ”

Yang Tingshu followed the rear army, and Xu Jikuang followed the Chinese army. Li Yan and I followed the former army. ”

"This battle, I call it a blitzkrieg."

"The so-called blitzkrieg means that the Zheng family army wants to exterminate Zhang Xianzhong and his subordinates at lightning speed."

"The number of rogues led by Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Wenxiu who entered Sichuan is as many as 150,000, this number is astonishing, but for Zheng Jiajun. This is nothing, not to mention that we are facing rogues, even if it is the Eight Banners Army, we are sure that we will win a complete victory, and the task of the 10,000 soldiers of the front army is very heavy. After arriving at the capital of Kuizhou, don't rush to attack, set up camp outside Kuizhou City, as long as Zhang Xianzhong dares to attack, he will beat him crying dad and calling his mother. ”

"The Chinese army's marching task is very heavy, after all, it carries Hongyi cannons and Furlong machines, but I don't care what method you use, you must arrive within five days, when the artillery battalion arrives in Kuizhou, it is the beginning of our battle to capture the capital city of Kuizhou."

"The battle to exterminate Zhang Xianzhong's main force must be completed within half a month, without the slightest delay, time is very important for Zheng Jiajun, and the reasons for this are clear to you." ……

What is a blitzkrieg, Zheng Jinhong and others finally understood that with 30,000 Zheng family soldiers to deal with 150,000 rogues, it is necessary to completely exterminate the rogues and end the battle within half a month.

This is the blitzkrieg.

Zheng Jiajun has such strength.

Xiong Wencan of Xiangyang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and learned that the Zheng Jiajun had been dispatched from Nanjing to start the battle to exterminate the Liukou, and he knew that the Liukou had been wiped out.

Zheng Jiajun's bravery, Xiong Wencan of course knows that according to his understanding of Zheng Jiajun, this is a mysterious army, not only the individual combat effectiveness of the sergeants is not ordinary, but the overall strength is even more terrifying, in fact, the composition of the Zheng Jiajun is also clear, there are surrendered rogues, most of them are recruited sergeants, speaking of which is not as good as the source of the sergeants of the guard's army, but those who are not favored, once they enter the Zheng family's army, they have undergone earth-shaking changes, and they have become extremely brave.

This is the mystery of Zheng Jiajun, and it is also something that Xiong Wencan cannot understand and understand.

In any case, the Zheng family army began to exterminate the Liukou, which is a fortunate and happy thing, Xiong Wencan only has about 50,000 sergeants left under his command, basically stationed near Xiangyang Fucheng, Huguang Governor Fang Kongzhi once implored Xiong Wencan to be stationed near Wuchang Mansion, Xiong Wencan did not agree, there are a large number of sergeants waiting near Wuchang Mansion, even if it is besieged by Liukou, Xiong Wencan can also lead the army to help, but there are not many sergeants around Xiangyang Mansion City, and Zhang Xianzhong's goal is aimed at Xiangyang Mansion City, If he loses Xiangyang Mansion City again, Xiong Wencan knows that his career will be completely over.

Just after Zheng Jiajun set off from Nanjing, Xiong Wencan sent his own soldiers to contact.

Xiong Wencan believes that Zheng Xunrui will definitely clear the Liukou in Huguang, and then enter Henan to stabilize the situation in Henan, as for whether it is a decisive battle with Li Zicheng, it is uncertain, after all, the Liukou are ravaging in the north, and it is the imperial court that is anxious, not Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun.

Of course, Xiong Wencan knows the bad relationship between Zheng Xunrui and the emperor, and today's imperial court is the world of the Donglin Party, and the Donglin Party and Zheng Xunrui have irreconcilable contradictions.

Xiong Wencan also has his own plans, the combat effectiveness of the sergeants under his command is average, the most effective sergeants have been transferred to Liaoxi, the fiasco of the battle of Liaoxi, also made it impossible for these transferred sergeants to return to Huguang, the remaining sergeants have been reorganized, most of them are stationed in Shanhaiguan, and a small number of them have been enriched to Xuanfu and Datong.

These 50,000 people can be used to defend the city, thinking that it is a fantasy to exterminate the Liukou, so Xiong Wencan chose to stick to it.

The news from the capital made Xiong Wencan feel worried, the Eight Banners Army led by Azig entered the customs from the direction of Datong and began to loot in Shanxi and Beizhili, which was a huge disaster for the imperial court, you must know that the battle of Liaoxi was a fiasco, and the imperial court had not many troops to deploy, in the face of the looting of the Eight Banners Army, what the emperor and the imperial court could do was to hold the most important cities, and the rest of the places depended on luck.

At this critical moment, the Zheng family army attacked, I don't know if the imperial court will make a big announcement, you must know that the Eight Banners Army is also afraid of the Zheng family's army, and after many battles, the Zheng family army has maintained a complete victory, which can be described as the nemesis of the Eight Banners Army.

Xiong Wencan's personal soldiers met Zheng Jiajun near Wuchang Mansion.

The news that the soldiers returned to Xiangyang to report made Xiong Wencan not understand, this time the Zheng family army went out, it was Zheng Xunrui who personally led the army, the Zheng family army has always been fast, and the emphasis is on defeating the opponent at the fastest speed, so that the opponent has no chance to counterattack, this time I don't know why, the speed of the march is very slow, and it actually stayed in Wuchang Mansion for several days.

You must know that the news of Zheng Jiajun's attack will spread sooner or later, once Ai Nengqi, who is stationed in Yunyang Fucheng, knows that Zheng's army has been dispatched, won't he lead the Liukou to evacuate quickly, how can he wait to be beaten, once the Liukou enters Kuizhou, Sichuan, in those places where the mountains are sparsely populated, it is not so easy to exterminate the Liukou.

If you don't understand, you don't understand, Xiong Wencan is still ready to meet Zheng Jiajun.

It was also at this time that Xiong Wencan received a letter from Fang Kongzhi, the governor of Huguang, who said in the letter that Zheng Xunrui, the king of Xiang, asked him to exterminate the Liukou in Yunyang Fucheng, because Zhang Xianzhong and the main force of the Liukou under his command had entered Sichuan, and Ai Nengqi, who was stationed in Yunyang, led only more than 30,000 Liukou, this task should be completed by the Yamen, the governor of Huguang, Wuchang Mansion is the provincial capital of Huguang, as the governor is not good to leave without authorization, is it not to ask Lord Xiong for help.

Fang Kongzhi's tone was very tactful, and he didn't force it.

Seeing this letter, Xiong Wencan immediately understood what was going on, although he was stationed in Xiangyang Mansion, but the affairs of the imperial court and Wuchang Mansion still knew something, Fang Kongzhi was a member of the Donglin Party, he would not be polite to Zheng Xunrui, he would definitely be on guard all the time, and Fang Kongzhi had the support of Qian Shisheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, behind him, and he was not necessarily afraid of Zheng Xunrui.

Under such circumstances, Zheng Xunrui naturally would not be polite, and simply asked Fang Kongzhi to exterminate the rogues in Huguang, and Zheng Jiajun was the main force to deal with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

Such an arrangement is reasonable, and it is impossible for Fang Kongzhi to oppose it, let alone disobey the order at this critical moment, so he wrote this letter.

Xiong Wencan threw the letter aside after reading it, how could he obey Fang Kongzhi's arrangement, and besides, his main task was to assist Zheng Jiajun in the battle, at this time, he helped Fang Kongzhi, wouldn't he offend Zheng Xunrui, such a thankless thing, a fool would do it.
