Bai turned around, returned to the stage in the backyard, and asked Su Mula: "T-Jing, what should I do in the middle hall?" ”

Su Mula patted the dust on his body and said: "The master is in the hands of the army and silver salary of the southwestern provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and the power in the court is also deep-rooted, the empress dowager and the emperor will never easily move you, since the emperor secretly transferred the general of the prince outside the border to enter the king of Qin, the three battalions and palace guards loyal to the middle hall in the capital are equivalent to useless, and sooner or later they will be replaced by the army of King Qin, therefore, the master can be based in Hengyang and command the southern provinces, as long as the military power in the southwest and the food and salary in Jiangnan are still in the hands of the master, No one can take you or what? ”

Ao Bai angrily found a chair and sat down, his henchmen are all in the capital, life and death are uncertain, there is not even a person to discuss around, fortunately, this Su Mula is a little knowledgeable, he squinted his eyes and thought about it calmly, and felt that what Su Mula said was not wrong, since the watermelon was lost, this sesame seed always had to be picked, fortunately, he had some prestige in the army, and the pair of orphans and widows in the capital could not do anything to him for the time being, but the question was, will the armies of the southwest provinces be loyal to themselves? Also, will Geng Jingzhong Shang Kexi be convinced by the two mountain kings? Now in Hengyang, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses that I can really control are only 30,000 Xiao cavalry battalions, as well as the local Eight Banners Green Battalion in Hunan, as for the provinces of Shaanxi, Guizhou, Guangdong and Fujian are the old departments of the three feudatories, will these people support themselves? Will the admirals and generals of the provinces of Jiangnan obey their orders?

Su Mula saw that Aobai's face was cloudy, and said in a determined low voice: "Is the master afraid that the old department of the three feudatories will not be satisfied?" ”

Ao Bai glanced at Su Mula deeply, originally he didn't look down on this minion, but now the bearing shown by this guy is inevitably looked down upon by Ao Bai, Ao Bai nodded, and actually had some dependence on Su Mula: "Exactly." ”

Su Mula said: "To be obedient to these wall grasses is nothing more than two hands, one is to pull, the other is to fight, the slave only thought about it, Shang Kexi Geng Jingzhong is a very human minister, the master is not able to pull it, and Zhao Fu and Wang Fuchen are just a small commander, if the master tries his best to envelop him, but it is not that he will not worship under the master's door, therefore, if you want to encircle Zhao Fu and Wang Fuchen, you must first beat Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi. ”

Ao Bai nodded thoughtfully, what Su Mula said was not wrong at all, Geng Jingzhong was still a very good minister, and he didn't have the capital to entrap them at all, since this was the case, he would beat them hard, once Geng Jingzhong was eradicated, and the two feudatories were abolished, Zhao Fuwang and Fuchen were naturally panicked, and then Ao Bai would be greatly encircled by Huairou means, not afraid that they would not be obedient.

"Master, now Geng Jingzhong monk Kexi is in Hengyang, the master should first put them under house arrest, and then block the news, ask the court for advice, just say that Geng Jingzhong is still arrogant and arrogant, secretly pass through Nanming, ask the Empress Dowager to abolish the three feudatories, now the army outside the gate has not arrived, the court is very jealous of the master, especially in this critical period, will definitely agree to the master's recital, in order to paralyze the master, as long as the holy decree is invited, we will immediately get rid of Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi, and then the master will lead the cavalry camp into Guangdong and Fujian, The two feudal towns were leaderless, and the master acted on orders, and he could control the two feudal domains without the use of swords and soldiers. Zhao Fu, Wang Fuchen and the two feudal clans are too close, the two feudal domains are judged, and the two of them must be afraid of crime, if the master is greatly encircled at this time, this military power will be firmly controlled in your hands. ”

"Good!" Ao Bai stood up: "That's it." ”

…

The streets of Hengyang are scattered with Qing soldiers, not only the cavalry battalion is stationed here, but also the green battalions in various prefectures and counties in Hunan have gradually opened, so the market is depressed a lot, and many shops are closed quickly, and they really dare not do business with this group of soldiers and bandits.

The inn is located in the eastern part of the city. At this time, a group of horseback cavalry battalion Qing soldiers came on horseback. Under the orders of a general, the post house was surrounded. Then he dismounted the general and a group of Qing soldiers. Slipped across the knife and entered the post house. Frightened, he was guarding the gate, and the doorman hurriedly went in to report the news.

A moment of effort. Pale and pale as he drove out of the front yard. Reluctantly smiled and slapped Qianzuogong: "Master Jun." These are all official relatives. The king of Zhennan also rested in it. I don't know what you command. Can you go outside and talk about it? Don't scare the family inside. ”

Yi Cheng raised the name of the king of Zhennan. I thought this would always be soft. Who knew that the general sneered and snorted. pushed him away: "Ye Fengdi is the general of Aozhongtang." Be smart and get acquainted. The lord is the king of Zhennan and the king of Pingnan.

”

The general swept away and glanced at Yicheng in a panic: "Which courtyard do King Pingnan and King Zhennan live in?" ”

The post house is used as a place for officials and dependents to stay. The area is huge. It covers an area of dozens of acres. The courtyard alone is divided into several rooms. It is completely an imitation of the Jiangnan garden system.

Yi Cheng hurriedly replied: "The king of Zhennan is still resting in the Spring Garden, and the king of Pingnan took people out on a safari early this morning, and he has not returned yet." ”

"Geng Jingzhong is not here?" Surprise the whole heart, this trip counts

Startled, he waved his hand quietly: "Come on, first surround the Spring Garden, go to the king of Zhennan to ask for peace, the city has been restless recently, there are thieves from time to time, Ao Zhongtang has an order, everyone must protect the prince." ”

After receiving the order, the Qing soldiers drew their weapons one after another, called a post man to lead the way, sealed the garden where Shang Kexi lived, and a few went in to give the pity 'guards'.

The general didn't dare to slack off, caught one, and one Shang Kexi disappeared, he hurriedly took the remaining few Qing soldiers out of the post house, while letting people report to Aobai, while going out of the city to search for it first.

Geng Jingzhong was not a stable person in the first place, and he was very short-tempered, and he couldn't stay in the post house at all, but Ao Bai didn't speak, and he couldn't go back to Fujian, so he had to go out of the city to hunt every day, and the west of Hengyang is Xiong Zhenling, Siming Mountain, and Tengyunling; In the northwest and north, Dayun Mountain, Jiufeng Mountain and Nanyue Heng Mountain are located. It is the best place to hunt, early in the morning, Geng Jingzhong prepared a bow horse, with more than a dozen relatives out of the city, to the west of Siming Mountain, maybe his life should not be broken, to return to the city when it was evening, just arrived at the west gate of Hengyang City, was about to enter the city, but saw that the city tightened the curfew, dozens of Qing soldiers on standby saw Geng Jingzhong, immediately shouted and rushed over, everyone scrambled to be the first, as if there was a gold ingot.

Geng Jingzhong was shocked, originally this city gate was guarded by the green battalion soldiers, but today he was replaced with a small cavalry battalion Qing soldier, and saw so many people rushing to his side, and some people went to loosen the reins on the horse stake and turned over the horse, suddenly had a defense, and hurriedly transferred the horse's head, and galloped outside the city to run for his life, until now he still doesn't know what happened, but he already knows what happened in the city, and eighty percent is to worship and arrest himself.

After a while, the Xiao cavalry behind him was already chasing closer and closer, and several of Geng Jingzhong's relatives behind the horse were shot and killed, fortunately, the Xiao cavalry camp only wanted to capture Geng Jingzhong alive, and did not shoot him with arrows.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, the pursuers rode on the horse and lit the torch and still chased closely, a soldier of the cavalry battalion took a bow and shot an arrow on the horse under Geng Jingzhong's seat, the horse was in pain, galloped forward dozens of zhang, and the pursuers opened some distance, and then gradually slowed down, the horse was injured, if it continued to run like this, sooner or later it would be exhausted, Geng Jingzhong complained in his heart, but there was nothing to be done.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and then the sky thunder and lightning resonated, in an instant, the pouring rain fell from the sky, the raindrops wet Geng Jingzhong's face, the mountain road suddenly muddy, the horse speed obviously weakened a lot, Geng Jingzhong looked back, only to see a dark behind, it turned out that the torches of the pursuers were wet by the rain, only heard a burst of shouts, but could not see anyone, he was overjoyed in his heart, at this time it was dark, it was the best time to escape, so he beat the spirit, clamped the horse's belly and adjusted the horse's head, Jumping off his horse at a fork in the road, the horse was still galloping towards the west path, while Geng Jingzhong, who had fallen in the mud, turned over and ran towards the mountain path.

It wasn't until dawn that Geng Jingzhong, who was hiding in the mountains, confirmed that the pursuers were gone, and hurriedly took off his armor, wearing only his underwear, and fled south.

Seven or eight days later, the down-and-out Geng Jingzhong arrived in Guangdong, riding a stolen donkey, and calling the pass under the city of Zhaoqing.

After hearing Geng Jingzhong's identity, the general on the upper floor of the city did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly welcomed Geng Jingzhong in.

"Quick! Go and call your son Shang Zhixin, the king of Zhennan has been arrested by Aobai, go quickly! The first thing Geng Jingzhong, who had a pale face, said when he saw the general manager was to urge him to see Shang Zhixin.

Three days later, Shang Zhixin, who had just secretly returned to Guangzhou from Qiongzhou, rushed to Zhaoqing again, Geng Jingzhong, who had rested in Zhaoqing for a few days, seemed to be in much better spirits, and Shang Zhixin asked with a face: "Brother Wang, my father Wang Zhen deducted Aobai?" ”

Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi are equals, so Shang Zhixin called Geng Jingzhong his brother, Geng Jingzhong told Shang Zhixin about the events of ten days ago, and added a sentence at the end: "Since Ao Bai wants to arrest me, he will naturally not let go of the king of Zhennan, it seems that this time the king of Zhennan is more than lucky." ”

Shang Zhixin clenched his fists angrily: "Worship is too deceitful!" After scolding, Shang Zhixin immediately calmed down, since his father was arrested, it was naturally more auspicious, but now it is time to consider his own life, he can't help but rejoice, fortunately, he has been in contact with the Ming army in Qiongzhou, and the new first emperor will issue a decree sooner or later, but I don't know what Geng Jingzhong's attitude is, Shang Zhixin glanced at Geng Jingzhong, and asked tentatively: "Then according to Brother Wang, what should we do?" Since Ao Bai dares to arrest my father, his cavalry battalion will come to attack Guangdong and Fujian sooner or later, shall we just sit back and wait?
