In He Renlong's mansion in Wuchang City, a group of big men sat shirtless in the hall eating watermelon, these people are the deputy generals, thousand generals, and generals under He Renlong, who have been following He Renlong for many years, are all bold men, and they don't stick to those vulgar etiquette, so they dress very casually in front of the main general.

Zuo Liangyu's 100,000 troops are composed of several parts, He Renlong's former official cavalry, Li Zicheng's remnants of thieves, as well as a number of small groups of thieves and Zuo Liangyu's own people, He is considered to be a relatively independent battalion officer, all of whom are He Renlong's cronies, He Renlong's qualifications are relatively high, and he is still a serious martial artist, so he has always felt injustice about his condescension to Zuo Liangyu, and he feels that he is no worse than Zuo Liangyu in terms of force and resourcefulness.

The generals of the He Department also have this view, since Zuo Liangyu has been hanged, then naturally their boss should be the speaker of Huguang, so that these generals can rise to the top, but now it seems that the situation is a little bad, and the people in the imperial court have a tendency to completely take back the administrative and military power of Huguang, especially that Liu Ziguang has been against them everywhere, and it has only been a few days, and there have been two swords against each other, although they have been resolved later, but the hatred has taken root in their hearts, and now they are gnawing on watermelons while discussing how to make a second incident.

He originally had ten battalions of cavalry, each battalion of soldiers was only five hundred, plus auxiliaries, a total of less than six or seven thousand, after these two days, nearly a thousand cavalry strength has been lost, a lot of military food and horse material were also taken away by He Tengjiao, and now He Tengjiao has seven thousand strong men in his hands, and he has taken over the defense of Wuchang City, which makes He Renlong and their hearts even more unhappy.

However, Zhuang Ding is a strong man, he can only make up a number of people to fight, and three are not worth a trained elite soldier, if you want to suddenly difficult to control Wuchang, it is still no problem, but the biggest problem is that there is no food, Zuo Liangyu's grain depot is in Hankou, the disaster relief grain of the Hankou court is still on the way, and now the rebellion, the food of the court will not be available, so He Renlong decided to endure for a while, and wait for the disaster relief money and food to arrive, and then settle accounts with Liu Ziguang.

At this time, the follow-up grain transport team of the imperial court has reached the opposite bank of Ezhou, this team is very large, there are as many as 20,000 people, half of which is the Beijing camp forbidden army led by Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui led the troops very methodically, first sent a pioneer battalion to open the road in the mountains, build bridges when encountering water, encounter stagnant water or quagmire, and use stone pads on the road surface, and directly step on the shallow creek when encountered, so that the progress of the follow-up convoy is greatly accelerated, faster than Liu Ziguang and they expected, the Ezhou River is wide, only a few boats in the hands of the dead camp can only ferry, and the overnight transportation is only sent to a thousand people, immediately a hundred carts of materials, and a large number of personnel grain and grass are waiting to cross the river, but Hong Feng came to Wu Sangui had to look at the ocean and sigh。

Huang Degong was less than 30 years old, he was the vanguard of Wu Sangui, and the officers and soldiers of the death battalion of the ferry told him that Ezhou had already fought a battle, Liu Ziguang led the troops to attack Wuchang, and presumably he had officially started a fight with Zuo Liangyu, so Huang Degong left 500 soldiers to defend the ferry, and took the remaining 500 soldiers and the 200 death battalions that changed the guard, and rushed to Wuchang overnight to cross the riverStuck on the railroad tracks, the distance from Ezhou to Wuchang is only 100 miles, and the rapid march can be reached overnight.

Huang Degong's troops marched along the railway all night, and finally arrived at Wuchang Station, and the news of the arrival of the imperial court's disaster relief materials into the city reached the city, and everyone was overjoyed, of which 80 carts were grain, and the rest were military supplies for Liu Ziguang, in addition to a lot of cash.

The urgent need is solved when the grain is in hand, not to mention that there are as many as hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, with which you can go to Jiangxi, Hunan, and Sichuan to buy grain, He Renlong feels that the time to do it seems to have come.

Listening to Huang Degong said, there are still more than 10,000 people waiting to cross the river on the other side of Ezhou, which strengthens He Renlong's determination to do it, if the imperial court army is all here, how can there be their own chance, now every second counts.

Liu Ziguang also planned to do it, and Huang Degong brought him 20 truckloads of ordnance materials, including a large amount of gunpowder, 50 boxes of 15,000 bullets, 20 boxes of 400 grenades, as well as the secret weapon dismantled and packed in wooden boxes, and the canned military rations for the Red Shirt Regiment were also more than 10 boxes, all of which were very hungry canned meat.

The addition of 200 new troops was the reason for his boldness. The Yangtze River is turbulent, and the river is still full of fog, so for the time being, there is no need to worry about the attack of the left army, He Tengjiao set up a banquet to entertain Huang Degong, and by the way, celebrated the killing of Zuo Liangyu the day before yesterday, although most of the left army is still eyeing Hanyang, but Wuchang City needs a celebration to improve the morale of the army.

The Governor's Mansion held a banquet, and the banquet dishes were mainly based on local freshwater fish and shrimp, supplemented by canned meat wine transported from the capital, which was aged Baiyunbian.

There was also wine, meat, fish and sheep in the barracks, and even the porridge shack in the refugee camp outside the city was also served with a thick porridge that could be inserted with chopsticks to celebrate.

He Renlong knew that Liu Ziguang was extremely brave and could not attack strongly, so he could only outwit him, and there was no shortage of dog-headed military advisers under him, and he came up with a poisonous plan, He Renlong nodded again and again, and secretly sent eight hundred elite soldiers to Ezhou to sneak attack the ferry, and let people prepare a lot of dry firewood and fire oil.

At the same time, Zuo Mengeng on the other side of the bank is also seizing the time to integrate resources, Hanyang's 20,000 horses have been surrendered, and Hankou still has 20,000 people who are not under his control, but Hankou guard Jin Shengheng is Zuo Liangyu's brother is very loyal, Zuo Mengeng told the truth about the two days, Jin Shengheng immediately expressed his willingness to be loyal to the young marshal, and only waited for Hong Feng to kill the river to avenge Zuo Dashuai.

The military and political officials in the Governor's Mansion of Wuchang City gathered together, pushing cups and drinking wine, although Huang Degong only brought 700 men and horses and more than 100 carts of supplies, but it brought infinite hope to everyone, after all, Wu Sangui's 10,000 army was only a hundred miles away from Wuchang.

He Tengjiao admired He Renlong very much, and kept praising the righteous and awe-inspiring uprising general, He Renlong sat on pins and needles to cope with everyone's toasts, and glanced at the door from time to time, looking very impatient, and waited for He Tengjiao's speech to finish his speech, and then confessed and urinated.

Opposite the Governor's Mansion is the Horse Riding Field, the military camp, the cavalry brigade of the He Army is stationed here, He Renlong slipped out of the banquet scene, looking for his own soldiers, according to the pre-determined strategy, only need to hold a horse lantern on the wall of the Governor's Palace, go around three circles, and the ambush soldiers on the opposite side will pour out and throw torches and fire oil in turn. Dry firewood, dry things, dry wind, fire, the people in the governor's palace are difficult to fly, even if someone stands out from the sea of fire, it doesn't matter, thousands of bows and arrows are waiting for them, as long as the officials in the governor's palace are eliminated, the power of the imperial court in Huguang is over, and the strong men in the city are not considered at all, these hungry people are not in the scope of their mothers as long as they have milk, they can eat a bowl of dry rice, and they can be sent out to attack the city tomorrow to build a shipyard's death camp.

He Renlong's plan was very well arranged, but Liu Ziguang was also calculating, since he had come to the Governor's Mansion to drink, he didn't plan to let him go back, He Renlong's eight personal soldiers had been controlled, so He Renlong shouted a few times, but no one came out.

The courtyard of the Governor's Mansion was empty, no one only heard the laughter in the hall behind him, He Renlong suddenly felt a little cold, his sixth sense told him that someone was staring at him in the dark, those few personal soldiers were afraid that they had been killed, their target must be that he thought of this, He Renlong's cold sweat fell, he pretended to be nothing, whistled and walked into the darkness first, looking as if he was going to pee, when he walked to the shadow near the gate, he suddenly pulled his legs and ran towards the gate, and the four newly appointed guards of the Governor's Mansion at the gate looked at him in astonishment, and ran over at a loss。

He Renlong's feeling was right, he just started to pull his legs and run wildly, and a few feather arrows were nailed to the place where he was standing just now, and the ambush soldiers arranged by Liu Ziguang ran out of the darkness on both sides, holding a Zhuge crossbow and shooting at He Renlong's back, but He Renlong was very smart, running zigzag, and the robe was covered with soft armor, and he couldn't help him for a while.

Originally, the bow and crossbow used to kill He Renlong quietly, but it was self-defeating, and he could not solve him on the spot, but he escaped from the gate and galloped in the direction of the parade ground, and the He army cavalry in the barracks was already in full formation, waiting for the signal, and suddenly saw his own general fleeing from the governor's palace in embarrassment, and suddenly knew that the matter was defeated, and the army rode out to meet He Renlong, at this time, a team of people from the governor's palace also rushed out of the column, holding a fire gun, and many cavalry of the He army fell off their horses, but there were still more people rushing up, and He Renlong protected He Renlong in the middle, He Renlong turned over, jumped on the war horse, and shouted: "Evacuate quickly after the ambush!"
