Chapter 141: Convergence

After some inquiry, Su Yan did not respond immediately, but ordered someone to take him down, and then asked a man standing in the corner of the big tent:

"Yuan Yong, how much credibility do you think that Chen Yan said?"

"Back to the superintendent's words, judging from the changes in Chen Yan's expression and eyes when he spoke, a person's eyes will not deceive, his eyes are not dodging when he speaks, he seems to be very calm, and he thinks that what he says is likely to be believed." Wang Yuan, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, replied with a fist.

"Hmm......" Su Yan touched his chin, which had become a little rough because he hadn't shaved for a long time, and said, "Yuan Yong, how about you personally follow that Chen Yan into the city to find out some information?" ”

"Commanded by humility."

Wang Yuan did not hesitate to clench his fists to receive his life.

Su Yan nodded, and looked at the letter again, Chen Xinyou said in the letter that he was willing to open the Qingbo Gate he was responsible for and welcome the Ming army into the city, and sincerely listed a few reasons why he did this, mainly because the children of the Eight Banners stationed in Hangzhou rode on their heads to make a fortune, which made them really unbearable, and the reason seemed to be without loopholes.

However, it is not difficult to rule out that it was a trick set up by Li Shutai in order to lure the king into the urn and severely damage him, if this is really a trick of the Qing army, it is really disastrous.

After a while, Su Yan ordered someone to bring him Chen Yan in again, first praised their choice to abandon the dark and turn to the light, but said that he could not start acting immediately, and asked him to take Wang Yuanyong to enter the city first to investigate, Chen Yan did not object, and after agreeing on the way to contact him in the future, he left the camp under the escort of Chen Ying.

The stakes were so high that Su Yan didn't tell anyone else about it, and after sending Chen Yan away, Su Yan returned to his bed as if nothing had happened, cleaned up his mood, and fell asleep.

After 30 March, the situation in the south-east noticed a change.

In the southwest of Zhejiang, the Ming army led by Su Dingyuan set off from Jinhua Mansion, rushed straight to Quzhou Mansion, faced with the Ming army that came with the might of victory, Longyou County on the road looked at the wind and fell, Quzhou General Army abandoned the city of Fucheng, led the army to flee to Shangrao, and joined the Jiangxi Qing army at the border of Yushan County, and the Ming army immediately occupied Quzhou Mansion and Jiangshan County, and confronted the Qing army.

Pingyang County, Wenzhou Prefecture, after being trapped in the mountains for a few days, the Qing army Ma Degong Department has fallen into a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food, Ma Degong had to lead the army to rush out of the mountains, intending to break out, but the Zhongwu battalion stationed here quickly reacted under the leadership of Shen Value, bit up, the two sides launched a fierce battle, only less than two quarters of an hour of fighting, the Qing army was defeated, Ma Degong, a rebel who betrayed the Hongguang Emperor, fell into the stream and died on the way to escape, and most of his subordinates became prisoners.

In Jiangnan Province, the Zhenghuang Banner Army led by Tan Tai, the general of Zhengnan, finally crossed the Yangtze River and entered Jiangning Mansion, and Tan Tai arrived with 8,000 Shandong Green Battalions and 10,000 Henan Green Battalions, these two provinces can also be regarded as the rear, so they can provide so many soldiers at one time.

At this time, the green battalion still maintained a high combat effectiveness, coupled with the yellow flag soldiers and horses under Tan Tai's command, Bolo thought that this battle would never be defeated - if he was a traverser from the afterlife, he would definitely shout, how can the flying dragon ride face lose?

Bolo is not from later generations, but his mood at this time is almost like this, the army of King Lu on Chongming Island was forced to break through and flee south, and Jiangnan Province was no longer threatened, so he transferred soldiers and horses from the north into Jiangning for a few days after repairing, and then ordered Tan Tai to lead the Zhenghuang Banner Army, Jiangnan, Shandong, and Henan provinces to the south to help Hangzhou Prefecture.

As for him, he did not go into battle in person, but chose to guard Jiangning Mansion, control the overall situation, and wait for the front-line military situation to dispatch Huguang soldiers and horses who were rushing to Jiangnan.

What Su Yan and Bo Luo didn't know was that because the Qing court sent Huguang soldiers and horses to fight in the south of the Yangtze River, the Qing army in Huguang suddenly became much empty, which gave the original Daxi soldiers and horses in Guizhou a chance to recover Huguang.

In Guiyang Mansion, after learning that the Huguang Qing army was transferred to the east, Sun Kewang knew that this was an opportunity to send troops, and after some discussion, Sun Kewang officially sent his general Feng Shuangli and others to lead more than 10,000 horsemen, tens of thousands of infantry, and more than 10 war elephants from Guizhou to Hunan Province, one route to Tongren, Mayang, one route to Pingxi, Benshui, one route to Solo and Small, and the three routes of soldiers and horses jointly attacked Yuanzhou, opening the prelude to the counterattack on Huguang.

Although Sun Kewang sent troops at the same time as in history, the difference was that most of Huguang's troops were transferred to Jiangnan this time, and the pressure on the Qing army faced by the Great Western Army was lighter than in history.

……

On the first day of April, Lu Wangjun, who had broken through from Chongming Island, did not return to the Zhoushan Islands, but was diverted halfway through, sailed into Hangzhou Bay, and landed outside the Houchao Gate to join Su Yan.

Su Yan was a little surprised when he learned that Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan did not return to Zhoushan but came to him, and then went to Fengshan Gate with his personal guards and invited the two important ministers of the Lu Jianguo court to meet in the military camp outside Fengshan Gate.

In the face of Su Yan's invitation, Zhang Huangyan, who had contact with him, agreed without hesitation, and in the face of Zhang Mingzhen's question, Zhang Huangyan said: "Su Anguo and his people are more important than the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty and disdain infighting, so there is no need to worry about waiting for service, besides, the soldiers and horses under his command are strong and strong, how can they look down on our army?" ”

Although this sentence was a bit self-deprecating, it still persuaded Zhang Mingzhen, and the two led their soldiers to the Ming army camp outside the Fengshan Gate to meet Su Yan.

To be honest, Su Yan's youth was still beyond Zhang Mingzhen's expectations, although he had heard more or less about Su Yan from Zhang Huangyan's mouth before, but after the real meeting, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

Surprised and surprised, Zhang Mingzhen did not despise Su Yan because of this, he was convinced of Su Yan's great achievements, so after meeting, he bowed deeply to Su Yan and said: "Zhang Mingzhen, Marquis of Dingxi, has seen Master Su, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. ”

"General Zhang, I admire the name for a long time, you escorted King Lu Zhouquan so that Zhejiang's anti-Qing fire could be preserved, which makes me admire." Su Yan also returned the salute with a fist and said politely.

After the three of them were polite, Su Yan got straight to the point and directly asked about the situation of Zhang Huangyan and the two on Chongming Island, Zhang Huangyan naturally knew everything, and soon told Su Yan about the military situation on both sides of the Yangtze River.

At the end, he also reminded Su Yan that after he evacuated from Chongming Island, the Qing army had no worries, and would definitely concentrate its forces south to Zhejiang, and the troops in Jiangnan alone had more than 20,000 troops.

For Zhang Huangyan's reminder, Su Yan was noncommittal, but he still kept it in his heart, if Chen Xinyou was reliable, it would be good to be able to win Hangzhou Fucheng in one fell swoop and get a system reward, but if he was unreliable, then he could really only come to a wave of strategic transfer.
