"Are you Han?"

Shang Kexi stared at Wu Sangui, holding the handle of the knife with his right hand, he didn't answer the question. For someone who has experienced the shaving order, this answer is as heavy as Mount Tai, but for a Han Baqi like him, who has already integrated into half of the blood, the question is too ridiculous.

In fact, Wu Sangui himself couldn't understand this problem, but if he wanted to choose between the Qing court and the Ming Dynasty, he instinctively leaned towards the latter.

Shang Kexi drew his sword and pointed at Wu Sangui, and angrily reprimanded: "You want to rebel? The regent is so kind to you that you want to rebel."

"Hehe" Wu Sangui was sneering, "Grace is as heavy as a mountain? Didn't we Han people bring him down the country? ”

"Don't you want to think about who took you in when the thieves invaded Beijing and you were cornered?"

Wu Sangui asked again: "Are you Han?" If you are willing to follow me against the purge, you and I are still friends."

Shang Ke was overjoyed and angry, pointing at Wu Sangui and shouting: "You must have been told by those literati that you have broken your brain, don't you know what the status of the martial artists of the Ming Dynasty is?" ”

"That's from the past, did I say I was going to invest in Daming?"

Wu Sangui shook the reins, and the three-eyed guns of the cavalry around him were aimed at the five hundred cavalrymen who were still gratifying.

"Choose, live or die"

Shang Kexi raised his sword, the blade flashed with cold light, and he continued to scold: "I will never betray the imperial court" The imperial court he said was of course referring to the Qing court.

Some betrayals are inexplicable, some loyalties are unimaginable.

Wu Sangui's right hand made a hand knife shape and slashed in the air. His arms were strong, and the blade-like sword made Shang Kexi's neck feel a chill.

Subsequently, Wu Sangui retreated, and the dense cavalry queue blocked Shang Kexi's sight.

Yang Kun stepped forward and shouted: "Whether the prince surrenders or does we have to do it." ”

The five hundred soldiers were all watching Shang Kexi, and the war horses were squeezing each other uneasily.

Shang Kexi let out a long sigh, and the long knife fell to the ground. He was sure that if he resisted, he would die here. However, dying here is worthless. This is perhaps the best reason why he chose to surrender.

When the army returned, the 10,000 soldiers and horses brought out by Shang Kexi were entrapped by the Guanning cavalry.

The gates of Nanyang were closed.

Shang Kexi's son Shang Zhixin and Shang Yi stood at the head of the city and looked out.

Many of the thirty eight caravans were smugglers, and it was impossible to keep them a secret without fear of dying. After killing ten people, Shang Yi roughly guessed the whole process of the matter. He was only guessing, because no one in the caravan knew Zhang Huan's true identity and the content of the holy decree.

"Wu Sangui has long been in collusion with the Ming Court, and the person who escaped in the caravan must be the envoy of the Ming Court" The more Shang Yi said, the more panicked Shang Zhi's confidence became. Because they could no longer see the banner of Shang Ke from the retreating soldiers and horses.

"What should I do?" The two spoke in unison, asking the same question.

At this moment, a column of cavalry under the city came from far and near. When the cavalry was four or five miles away, Shang Zhixin saw clearly the figure of the man on horseback who was walking in the forefront, it was his father.

A thousand cavalry came to the city, and Wu Sanrong shouted at the city: "The prince is back, and he still hasn't opened the door."

Shang Zhixin and Shang Yi glanced at each other.

"Open the door" Wu Sanrong looked quite impatient.

It's unimaginable, Shang Kexi suddenly shouted: "Don't open the door" The city and the city were stunned. There are so many unexpected things happening in this world.

Wu Sanrong pulled out a long knife, the blade approached Shang Kexi's neck, and scolded: "Let your son open the door."

Shang Kexi's face was fearless, and he shouted towards the city: "If you dare to open the door, it will not be my son"

"Wu Sangui colluded with the Ming court to rebel, you report to the court, let the regent prepare early" Shang Kexi lost his mind.

Wu Sanrong's hand holding the knife trembled slightly.

The blade pierced Shang Kexi's skin, and blood oozed out.

He was about to control his hands, and a knight came up from behind, and shouted from afar: "Leave people under the knife" The person who came was Yang Kun, and when he saw Wu Sanrong put away the knife, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The prince has an order, take Shang Kexi back"

A thousand cavalry returned.

Shang Kexi straightened up on horseback, and Wu Sangui glanced at him from a distance and didn't talk to him again.

The Qing soldiers stationed outside Nanyang City were driven west by the Guanning Iron Cavalry, leaving Nanyang City in a daze

Wu Jun went away, and Shang Zhixin and Shang Yi stayed in the city. It wasn't until the broken Wu army cavalry galloped away that Shang Yi reacted and said anxiously: "Hurry up and tell the court the news, and at the same time inform Xiangyang City." Wu Sangui has ** went to Sichuan"

This is not a secret, because the Qing court only had such a rich place.

Plans can't keep up with the changes.

Zhang Huan didn't have time to send the news to Huguang, and the turmoil under Nanyang City arose.

There are indeed warships in the waterway of the Yangtze River, but there are no hundreds, only a lone patrolling ship.

It was not until the early morning of the next day that the Ming army scouts showed an abnormality under Nanyang City. Zuo Ruo ordered the Wenlin Zhu Water Division to strengthen patrols in the waterways of the Yangtze River, and sent scouts to inquire about the news of the Qing soldiers.

The Ming army has been preparing for a long-term siege of Xiangyang, Zhang Huan is recruiting Wu Sangui, and Zuo Ruo is not clear. The fewer people who know about such news, the better

Inside the city of Xiangyang.

The news came last night like a bolt from the blue. Luck Dehun only knows how to scold, "The Han people are unreliable, I am generous to the Han people in the Qing Dynasty, and all of them are white-eyed wolves." ”

Hong Chengchou ordered people to step up monitoring the movements of the Ming army, and at the same time said a very difficult sentence: "Maybe we should give up Xiangyang"

He suffers in his heart that others cannot understand.

Xiangyang pinned his hopes on a return to power and power. If Xiangyang was lost, the Qing court would lose Jiangnan and Huguang in two consecutive years, and he had been an official in the Ming Dynasty and knew the importance of these two places to Jiangbei.

If the regent is not led by the nose by the Ming court, the Qing court can even abandon Jianghuai, and it is worth it to mobilize a large army to recover Huguang. Because the dominance of the Ming Dynasty in the land of Huguang is far less stable than in Jiangnan.

"Give up Xiangyang?" Lucked agreed, and it was a relief for him. His cavalry had been trapped in the city for a year, and the soldiers had already complained. Defending the city is a tactic that the Han people are good at, and the Mongols are unwilling to lose their horses.

"Do you want to go to the court?"

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's too late."

Wu Sangui is not Jiang Ting, and the cavalry under his command has field combat capabilities. Shang Zhixin only came to inform Wu that the army had taken 15,000 soldiers to the north, and he did not know Wu Sangui's plan.

Hong Chengchou first thought of Sichuan, but what he was most worried about was that Henan would lose. If the Ming army took the opportunity to occupy Nanyang, not only Xiangyang would be isolated, but the hinterland of the Qing court, such as Shanxi and Hebei, would be threatened.

"When will you cross the river?" ”

"Tonight"

It's all fast, faster than expected. At night, the patrol boats of the Ming army left the waterway opposite Xiangyang. The water here is turbulent and the river is narrow, making it inconvenient for large sea ships to patrol.

Hai time.

Shang Zhixin was ordered to lead the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses in Nanyang City to the Yangtze River to set up iron cannons.

The torch in Xiangyang City is as bright as day.

Hong Chengchou ordered all the small cannons guarding the city to be carried to the south bank of the Yangtze River to block the river.

The upstream boat went down the river and was intercepted by the Qing soldiers on the side of Xiangyang City, and the Qing soldiers began to cross the river.

The Jurchens were the first to go, followed by the Mongols, and finally the Han.

If Wu Sangui hadn't left, they should have been able to wipe out the Qing soldiers in Nanyang and Xiangyang, but unfortunately he was not so kind to help Daming.

This is a movement that Xiangyang has never seen since the siege.

Zuo Ruo stood on the top of Hutou Mountain and looked out. There is no doubt that the Qing troops are withdrawing

The messenger rushed all the way up the mountain, "Report that the Qing court has set up batteries on both sides of the river, and the close proximity of the naval division's warships is too great" Although the guns of the Qing soldiers are small, they are enough to pose a threat to the naval division.

A circle of generals surrounded Zuo Ruo under black pressure, and everyone couldn't hide their joy. The firelight on the opposite side was like fireworks to welcome them, and the sound of those cannons was like welcoming firecrackers stationed in Xiangyang City. They are all generals in the army, and they all know that the Qing Dynasty has abandoned Xiangyang City.

After nearly a year of hard work under Xiangyang, no matter what method they use, as long as they can pull out this last-minute nail, they are all happy. A sense of relief.

Zuo Ruo ordered: "Order the sailor to retire temporarily"

The herald ran down the mountain with the messenger,

Someone finally broke the silence on the top of the mountain, and Jin Shenghuan came out to ask for orders: "General Zuo, do you want to attack the city overnight?"

Zuo Ruo shook his head and said, "Since Hong Chengchou is ready to withdraw his troops, he must be ready to defend." He has left us that city, and we will take away what he will not give us."

All the generals are waiting for Zuo Ruo's order.

"Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi and Jin Shenghuan each led 10,000 soldiers and horses to cross the river and besiege the Qing soldiers who crossed the river"

"Obey" the three generals stepped on their leather boots and went down the mountain.

"Gong Chen and Zhang Tianlu returned to the barracks to order soldiers and horses to be on standby"

"Obedience"

At this point, only Zuo Ruo and Zong Mao were left on the top of the mountain.

Zong Mao arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to General Zuo"

"What does it have to do with me?" Zuo Ruo chuckled and said, "This is not my battle."

Zong Mao said: "General Zuo's words are wrong, how can the general say that it is useless to besiege Xiangyang for a year" His former edge has been reined in a little, and he already knows how to say a few words of compliment in front of a person like Zuo Ruo.

Zuo Ruo deliberately reminded: "Sect Director, after recovering Xiangyang, you are afraid that you will have to return to Jiangnan."

"Listen to the arrangement of the King of Jin."

Zuo Ruo sighed with emotion and said: "You and I have followed King Jin for many years, and King Jin is really a genius in heaven." Since the grassland, I have appeared, I only have a palm-sized battlefield in my eyes, and the whole world in the eyes of King Jin"

"All the rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty were captured by the King of Jin"

The two of them stood on the top of the hill and watched the fight in the distance, saying something indistinct.

The King of Jin is so wise and powerful, how can he always be the King of Jin?

A civil servant, a military general, they are all cronies of the King of Jin. They understood each other what was going on in their hearts, and although the King of Jin had never come out, they wanted to take the initiative to push the King of Jin to that position.

The position where tens of millions of people look up.

After taking Xiangyang, the land of the King of Jin was already complete.
