Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong are both first-class military strategists, and the two also deduced that the Fusang army must be logistics, or there is an accident on the island, so they will adopt large-scale retreat tactics.

Thinking of this, Zheng Chenggong and Ling Jingyang suggested whether to contact Zheng Zhilong and ask to join forces with the army led by his father to annihilate the Fusang army.

This is a brilliant tactic, on the one hand, it can make the Qing army, the Zheng family army and the Fusang army fight, consume the enemy's vital strength, and also allow your own army to be tempered.

Ling Jingyang kept nodding, but Li Dingguo put forward another point of view, he suggested that Ling Jingyang mobilize some soldiers and horses to aid the Shandong battlefield, but it should be integrated internally, the Hongguang court has the whole territory of Jiangxi, Huguang and part of Guangdong, and is the strongest in Jiangnan.

But all parts of the country are still semi-independent, Qu Shiyun, He Tengjiao, Wang Yingxiong and other feudal officials, their attitude towards the imperial court has gradually changed from absolute obedience to respect, and the Mu family in Yunnan has lost their territory in Yunnan and is so beaten by the Tusi rebellion that they dare not show their heads.

If these internal problems are not solved, it will greatly drag down the Ming army, Zheng Chenggong listened to Li Dingguo's speech, and couldn't help but feel that Li Dingguo deserved to be the dragon and phoenix among the people.

He also agreed with Li Dingguo, believing that Ling Jingyang could allow the Qing army, the Fujian Ming army and the Fusang army to fight in Shandong, and the imperial court took this opportunity to once again exert its strength and complete internal unification.

"Aren't we infighting?"

Ling Jingyang was a little dissatisfied, but Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo thought that this was not internal strife, but to better fight against foreign enemies in the future, and this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if this opportunity was missed, the imperial court would be further torn apart, Ling Jingyang thought about it, and finally made up his mind to appoint Zheng Chenggong as the general of the expedition to the north, leading the troops and horses of his headquarters to Shandong Province, and ordered Weilan and Mei Shaozuo to lead five thousand soldiers and horses directly under the army to escort grain and grass, and Zheng Chenggong went north to fight against the Fusang army.

He rushed to Congshan Pass that afternoon to discuss the next step with Du Yinxi, Zheng Chenggong was very surprised that Ling Jingyang trusted him so much, and he was a little excited and swore to Ling Jingyang that he would definitely live up to his mission.

Ling Jingyang asked him to go back and prepare for the expedition, and he took Li Dingguo and the guards to Congshan Pass to meet Du Yinxi.

Ning Guofu to Congshan Pass is not far away, a group of people with one person and two horses, fast horses and whips, rushed to Congshan Pass the next morning, the generals stationed in Shanguan have long recognized Ling Jingyang, and the big man saw the Lingzi Governor flag, let his subordinates report to the imperial court, and ordered the soldiers to open the city gate, leading Ling Jingyang into the city.

When Ling Jingyang passed through the city gate, the road was unimpeded, which caused Xu Sheng to be a little proud, but Li Dingguo shook his head, Ling Jingyang found out Li Dingguo's state, and asked: "Dingguo, why are you shaking your head?" ”

"Governor, this general guarding the city is enthusiastic about the governor, and he will open the city gate without waiting for the governor to open his mouth, if someone else impersonates the flag of the governor, wouldn't he be able to deceive the guard to open the city gate and destroy the court overnight?"

Ling Jingyang's face was a little ugly, and Xu Sheng hurriedly said: "General Li, this general guarding the city is also well-intentioned. ”

"Xu Sheng, don't be ashamed."

Ling Jingyang asked Xu Sheng not to speak, what Li Dingguo said was very reasonable, if someone with ulterior motives carried the banner of his five armies and tricked the guards to open the city gate, he could really destroy the Hongguang court.

He and Li Dingguo nodded, indicating that he would take his kindness to heart, and then the group came to the mansion of Plug Yinxi.

Du Yinxi had been waiting for Jing Yang in the mansion for a long time, and Jin Sheng had not long gone to Guangdong, where he had traveled to raise grain, grass and military salaries for the imperial court, although many local forces were dissatisfied with Jin Sheng's arrival.

However, Ling Jingyang mobilized military forces in Ganzhou Mansion, and ordered He Zhen to cooperate with Jin Sheng to issue orders in Guangdong, with He Zhen's nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses as the backing, Jin Sheng gradually gained a firm foothold in Guangdong.

The military leaders in various places also had to bow their heads and obey Jin Sheng's dispatch to them, but Jin Sheng did not dare to weaken the armed forces of various places too much, after all, these local snakes also have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the small ones are also the defenders of a city, and they will not hesitate to surrender to Longwu, and even some rebels will directly rebel.

Therefore, Jin Sheng walked on thin ice in Guangdong, in order to support the imperial court from all parts of Guangdong, he also sent Su Guansheng back to the imperial court, Emperor Hongguang looked down on Su Guansheng very much, and felt that this person was at both ends of the rat's head, and asked for the first time to block Yinxi and behead Su Guansheng.

Du Yinxi was discussing with his henchmen in the mansion, whether to behead Su Guansheng, Ling Jingyang took a group of people to the outside of the mansion, and Du Yinxi hurriedly took his subordinates to greet Ling Jingyang.

The two have long been close comrades-in-arms, so naturally they are not polite, as soon as they see Ling Jingyang, it is like returning home, and they enter the living room one after the other, and Ling Jingyang only takes Li Ding

The kingdom visited him.

After the three of them sat down, Ling Jingyang told him what he wanted to do, and after he heard it, he was hesitating to kill Su Guansheng just now, so as to win over the forces from all over Guangdong.

"Ling Jingyang, do you want to forcibly annex all parts of Guangdong?"

When Ling Jingyang came, he was deducing with Li Dingguo, if all parts of Guangdong did not obey the imperial court, should they deal with these local forces?

Li Dingguo suggested killing a group of disobedient people, and the rest were obedient, and persuaded Ling Jingyang to give up using benevolent and righteous means to win over these military leaders, and only by using iron knives and artillery can we gather the forces of all parties, and only in this way can we race against time and complete the internal agreement before the Qing army and the Fusang army divide the victory or defeat.

At this time, the best way to deal with the troubled times, Ling Jingyang did not oppose Li Dingguo, and he acquiesced in this suggestion, and he proposed to Gu Yinxi with an unquestionable attitude that he would send troops to Guangdong, return the military and political power to the imperial court, and not allow the existence of half-hearted local forces.

But Jin Sheng's vision was farther, and he saw at a glance that Ling Jingyang had a deeper purpose, which was to attack Guangdong and unify the regimes in Guangdong, which could expand his power and force the Longwu regime in Fujian.

"The idea is very good, you also want to think of sending troops to Guangdong, don't you threaten Zheng Zhilong, who has already sent troops to Shandong?"

After all, Du Yinxi has more experience than Ling Jingyang, and he can see farther, and he will point out the disadvantages of Ling Jingyang's dispatch to Guangdong.

He also heard that Zheng Zhilong secretly accepted the gift of the Qing army, although it has not yet been announced to the world, but Zheng Zhilong's surrender is known to everyone, and neither Ling Jingyang nor Li Dingguo thought that sending troops to Guangdong would drag on the front line in the military struggle against Fusang.

"The adults are reasonable, but I didn't think it through and made jokes for the adults."

Du Yinxi suddenly laughed.

"Ling Jingyang, you don't have to be polite to me, our army has one acre and three points of land in Guangdong, which is already a very successful strategy, I think that we can enter Huguang from Ganzhou Mansion."

Ling Jingyang pricked up his ears and asked, "Go to Huguang?" ”

Plug Yinxi seemed to be smiling.

"Yes, we still have a soldier in Huguang, it's time to pull it out and slip it on."

The soldiers and horses in his mouth are the troops led by Jiang Xuan, Jiang Huang is the governor of the three prefectures in the south of Huguang, and he also receives 200,000 taels of military salaries from the imperial court every month, and after operating for several months, he has 40,000 troops, as if he is the strongest army leader in the south of Huguang.

If he continues to develop in Chenzhou Mansion, he will become a new warlord, Ling Jingyang is not very loyal to Jiang Huang, and let Jiang Huang be in the south of Huguang in order to resist the rebels such as Tusi in the southwest, and to balance the military power in the southwest region.

But when Du Yinxi told him that Jiang Hao had 40,000 soldiers and horses in Huguang, it still made him gasp, this feudal warlord, it is really easy to expand the army, especially a general with military command experience, if he has money and food, he can form a new army.

"Lord Blockade means to let Jiang Jiu invade Guangxi?"

Du Yinxi shook his head and said mysteriously: "Bashu is the one who holds the bull's ear, Wang Yingxiong has been ill for a long time, and there are rumors that he will not be there for a long time. ”

Ling Jingyang's understanding of Wang Yingxiong was limited to the deeds of the anti-Qing Dynasty, and he heard that he was about to die soon after a long illness, and he felt a little sad in his heart.

Li Dingguo on the side heard that Wang Yingxiong was about to die, and he felt very uncomfortable, as the chief general of the Great Western Army, the Great Western Army and Wang Yingxiong's troops and horses fought several times, and they lost more than they won.

The Great Western Army was extremely hostile to Wang Yingxiong, and Li Dingguo was no exception, hating Wang Yingxiong very much, as well as the Ming army in Bashu and other places.

But when the Qing army came in and fought with the Qing army, Li Ding's heart began to change, he no longer blindly hated the Ming army, but there were many Ming soldiers worthy of his admiration, especially Ling Jingyang and a large number of anti-Qing soldiers, who were recognized by him.

At this time, when he heard that Ying Xiong, the banner of the Bashu Anti-Qing Dynasty, was seriously ill in bed, Li Dingguo actually felt a little regretful, and listened to Jingyang and Du Yinxi and said: "Jinglu only asked me to lead my troops to Guizhou and Sichuan?" ”

"You don't want to go, you can let General Yiliang lead the army to Guizhou and integrate the soldiers and horses in Guizhou."

Ling Jingyang understood what he meant, he wanted Jiang Hao to lead his troops to Guizhou, so that Jiang Liang, a slave with three surnames, could stay away from the Hongguang Imperial Court, and Jiang Jiu could also enter Guizhou with the Hongguang Imperial Court and return the military and political power of Guizhou to the imperial court.

It's just that Ling Jingyang feels that letting Jiang Huang go to Guizhou is tantamount to cultivating a new warlord, Jiang Huang has tens of thousands of troops in Chenzhou Mansion, but most of these soldiers and horses are bandits, rogues and young and strong, and there are not many troops with combat effectiveness.

Jiang Huang entered Guizhou, once he seized the military and political power in Guizhou, he almost gave Jiang Jiu a province for nothing, and there were tens of thousands of fighting troops in this province, Ling Jingyang categorically refused to block Yinxi's proposal, and Wang Yingxiong and his subordinates did not openly oppose the imperial court, for a while, Ling Jingyang and Yang Yinxi had differences.

Neither of them refused to bow their heads and give in, the atmosphere was suddenly very embarrassing, Li Dingguo took the lead to break the deadlock, he asked for him to lead the army into Guizhou, gain a firm foothold in Guizhou, and then lead Guizhou soldiers and horses to reinforce the imperial court.

Du Yinxi looked at Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo is Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son, and he is also the strongest general of the Great Western Army, let him lead the army into Guizhou, and it is okay to be loyal to the imperial court, if he returns to the Great Western Army, it is better to let Jiang Hao go to Guizhou.

Li Dingguo saw through Plug Yinxi's doubts and said: "Lord Block, I used to be the Great Western Army, but now I am a general who resists the Qing Dynasty. ”

These words were not trusted, but Ling Jingyang believed that he stood up firmly, supported Li Dingguo, and assured Du Yinxi that Li Dingguo was not a rebel, let alone a traitor.

With Ling Jingyang's full support, Du Yinxi didn't say anything anymore, so he had to agree that Li Dingguo would lead the army into Guizhou.

Then Ling Jingyang and Guan Yinxi talked about King Lu and Emperor Longwu, one of these two local forces occupied Yingtianfu, the other occupied the entire territory of Fujian, and several cities in Guangdong, and these two local forces could not be allowed to continue to exist, and every day they existed, the Hongguang court became more and more embarrassed.

Du Yinxi touched his beard, King Lu's soldiers and horses in Yingtianfu are not strong, if the Qing army and Zheng Zhilong are defeated by the Qing army, King Lu's soldiers and horses will not be able to withstand the impact of the rout, and they will collapse by themselves.

Only Emperor Longwu, Gu Yinxi also heard that Emperor Longwu was quite ambitious, led the army to King Qin in his early years, was ruthlessly suppressed by Lord Chongzhen, and after ascending the throne in Fujian, he was also ambitious, but he was subject to Zheng Zhilong and could not realize his ambitions.

He calmly said to Ling Jingyang: "Longwu's gang is not soft persimmons, if you want to eat them quickly, I'm afraid it will cause chaos in the world." ”

Ling Jingyang remembered that Li Chengdong raided Fujian, Zheng Zhilong took most of the soldiers and horses, and at this time he raided Fujian, and he was very sure of destroying the Longwu Dynasty, thinking of this, Ling Jingyang, blocking Yinxi, and Li Dingguo raised their heads at the same time, why did Zheng Zhilong dare to lead a large army to Shandong to fight against the Fusang people, wasn't he afraid of the Hongguang Imperial Court raiding Fujian?

A huge trap suddenly emerged in the hearts of the three of them, and this trap was in Fujian, waiting for the soldiers and horses of the Hongguang Imperial Court to send them to death.

Du Yinxi said with a gloomy face: "During this time, the ministers of the Chinese and martial arts of the court are all offering advice and suggestions, asking our army to send troops to Fujian to eliminate the puppet Longwu court, but I have refused, now that I think about it, there is a shocking conspiracy here."

Ling Jingyang remembered that Fujian was a barren land, with many mountains and few lands, how could he support so many troops, could it be that Zheng Zhilong did not leave Fujian?

The three of them felt a chill in their backs, Zheng Zhilong's troops in Shandong would not be their main force, but how could Zheng Zhilong have so many troops, although Fujian is mountainous, it also needs garrison troops, the Zheng family does not have many troops, Zheng Chenggong also brought thousands of soldiers and horses, how did Zheng Zhilong send 70,000 troops to Shandong?

Ling Jingyang remembered the information sent by Wan Liyun the night before, he saw Zheng Zhilong attacking in Yanzhou, Shandong to resist the anti-Qing rebels, but Zheng Zhilong only showed his face in Yanzhou, and then secretly withdrew to Fujian.

Even if Zheng Chenggong withdrew to Fujian alone, the 70,000 soldiers and horses in Yanzhou did not withdraw to Fujian, and Ling Jingyang felt more and more that the situation in the southeast was a fog, and if he was careless, he would die quietly.

Ling Jingyang and the two said: "Zheng Zhilong must be waiting for our army to attack in Fujian, eat our army's attack on Fujian soldiers and horses in one go, and then wait for the opportunity to attack Congshan Pass and subvert the Ming court." ”

These words did not convince Du Yinxi, Li Dingguo was a general of Ling Jingyang, but he did not agree.

"Dudu, the strength of the Zheng family's soldiers and horses is not strong, especially its naval army was attacked by the Fusang army, and the proud ace troops lost most of them, how can they recover their strength in a short time?"

"The Zheng family is just a naval army with big losses, and its infantry army did not lose, but followed Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition before, and the strength of the infantry army has increased greatly, and it has long been a strong force.

The three of them fell into a terrible silence, and Du Yinxi suddenly spoke.

"Strengthen the defense of Ganzhou Mansion and Huizhou Mansion, don't let Zheng Zhilong raid our army."

Plug Yinxi reacted very quickly, Ling Jingyang, as a military commander, quickly understood what he meant, hurriedly said goodbye, before parting Ling Jingyang suggested that Plug Yinxi strengthen the defense from the mountain pass, Plug Yinxi didn't quite understand what he meant, but still nodded again and again, indicating that he would strengthen the defense.
