Back then, Li Yan and the Red Lady were in Wenyue Villa, and they were with Peng Wuying almost every day, of course, they could recognize them when they were burned to ashes.

Li Yan entered Yuanjiazhai three times, and of course he knew the team leader of the backyard patrol team, and he also knew that he was Yuan Liqing's bodyguard, and even knew that Yuan Liqing was the fiancée of Prince Xiong.

Seeing these two people, Li Yan's brows were almost squeezed together: "Lady, Peng Wuying and Guan Datou are both subordinates of Jian Balang, how come they have become the people of Zhu Youlang, the king of Hengyang Gui, now?"

In response to Li Yan's question, the red lady nodded: "Childe, there must be a lot of weirdness in this, we are afraid that we need to think about it in the long run!"

The red lady is also a heroine among women, and her understanding of the battlefield situation is very comparable.

According to the original battle plan, as long as Zuo Liangyu's 200,000 people were completely defeated, they would be able to completely control Wuchang City and Changsha City, and then threaten Hengyang Wangcheng.

Now there are suddenly two people related to Xiong Chu, and Xiong Chu can pacify all parts of the southwest, and also defeat the Westerners on the sea, and has already announced the position of "King of Burma and Yue", in fact, he is a hegemon, controlling the vast territory of the southwest coastal area, and his elite soldiers are no less than 200,000.

Such a person is not something that ordinary homeless rebels can compete with, so the red lady thinks: "Since Xiong Chu's people are here to intervene, every qiē needs to be considered in the long run." ”

Who is Peng Wuying? He turned out to be the owner of the Flying Squirrel Gate.

Now that the Flying Squirrel Gate has been disbanded, it has just changed its face and become the dark line of the Xiong Family's army.

Li Yan and the red lady disguised themselves to investigate, but of course they did not hide from Peng Wuying. Now that the two of them have retreated, the first goal has been achieved, so everyone pretends not to see each other.

Li Yan and the red lady retreated, and the matter did not end, but just began.

Zuo Liangyu, this is already a bandit force that Miao Sanguan and Peng Wuying have made up their minds to completely solve.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu was no longer what he used to be, and he no longer dared to fight a tough battle with Li Zicheng.

Last year, that is, in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen (1642), Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng. Hou Sui rewarded Zuo Liangyu's subordinates with 500,000 silver for the superintendent, and ordered him to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng's subordinates with all his might.

Zuo Liangyu was defeated in the battle of Zhuxian Town, and the more than 200,000 people were less than 30,000, and finally he could only retreat to Xiangyang to survive.

In the following half a year, although he collected 200,000 of his subordinates, claiming to be 300,000 to the outside world, the imperial court only gave 25,000 people a salary, and the rest of the food and salary could only be raised by himself.

said that it was self-raised, but in fact it was to let Zuo Liangyu loot and even rob the local people, so it caused great disasters to Xiangyang and Huguang areas, and it was even more hateful than the rebels of the displaced people.

Although the homeless rebels robbed and killed people, they all robbed princes, landlords, profiteers, and scholarly families, and never robbed ordinary people.

Zuo Liangyu's troops were different, they were swept away, and they were even more powerful than locusts. Because of this, the common people are eager to eat its flesh and sleep on its skin.

When Li Zicheng's 300,000-strong army marched south to Xiangyang, Zuo Liangyu had just prepared the ships that were ready to escape, but they were burned by the local people that night.

Zuo Liangyu fled all the way east from Xiangyang, not only robbing the common people, but also openly robbing the imperial tomb of Chengtianfu (Zhongxiang), which is a hundred times more hateful than the homeless people.

If they only looted Jiangbei, Miao Sanguan and Peng Wuying would still be able to turn a blind eye and get by.

However, Zuo Liangyu went all the way south, and now he has stationed troops on the front line of Hanyang Xianshan, Junshan, Qintai, and Guishan, and is collecting ships to prepare to cross the river to the south and enter Wuchang, Jiangxia and other places to "eat".

If this kind of army, which is more hateful than bandits, enters the rich land of Jiangnan, all the plans of Miao Sanguan and Peng Wuying will be in vain, and the people of Jiangnan will suffer.

After receiving the urgent report from Miao Sanguan and Peng Wuying, Xiong Chu only approved one sentence: "This fang lost his division in the foreign war, harmed the people in the civil war, and lost his conscience, so he didn't have to live." ”

Although Prince Xiong gave the order to do it, how to successfully complete the order of "this fang doesn't need to live", Miao Sanguan and Peng Wuying also tried their best.

If it is not difficult to just kill Zuo Liangyu and his son Zuo Mengeng, Shen Xiyue, as the number one master of the Hidden Dragon Killer Group back then, can certainly find an opportunity to assassinate this pair of wolf-hearted father and son.

What Miao Sanguan and Peng Wuying were worried about was that once the 200,000 bandits scattered and fled, the disaster would definitely be more severe, and the damage to the common people would be even greater.

Also, the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River has been peaceful for a long time, and almost every city has a prince. Since there is a prince, there is a guard.

Directly set up a big fight, which will alarm many people, including the imperial court, which will definitely not work.

Please enter the urn, this is the only feasible way.

Originally, Miao Sanguan had ordered Jiang Tengjiao's sailors to prepare for battle, that is, to drive more than forty small boats into the Yangtze River for Zuo Liangyu to see, and then "be requisitioned".

As long as Zuo Liangyu's army got on the boat and then got into Dongting Lake, not to mention that there were only 200,000 people, even if he had 2 million people, it would be in vain.

At this time, Li Zicheng's Wang Yaowen Department actually crossed the Yangtze River to the south and broke through Lizhou City, directly threatening Changde City, almost catching Miao Sanguan off guard.

Miao Sanguan is not worried about a mere Wang Yaowen, and the opponents he pays attention to are Li Yan and the Red Lady in Jiangbei.

The character and ability of this couple, Miao Sanguan knows it well. Once it goes head-to-head, it's really a good opponent.

It is absolutely impossible to fight on two fronts, and Li Yan and the red lady must be allowed to retreat in difficulty.

In order to achieve this goal, there was a "Wang Yaowen armed march", and there were 5,000 infantry troops from Changde City and Lizhou City to participate in the great drama of building embankments.

Peng Wuying's subordinates already had 200,000 people who specialized in building embankments, and now they have transferred 5,000 infantry troops to "participate in labor", on the one hand, to attract the attention of Li Yan and the Red Lady in Jiangbei, and on the other hand, just in case, to prevent Li Yan and the Red Lady from suddenly crossing the river and heading south.

Li Yan and the Red Lady did not choose to cross the river in the end, because Peng Wuying and Guan Datou supervised on the embankment every day, so that they did not dare to risk a blow.

Jiang Tengjiao didn't know about the secret battle that took place on the front line of the public security and Shishou upstream, so the Dongting Lake Water Division was not disturbed.

He still acted according to Miao Sanguan's orders, and he must let his boat and "fisherman" be discovered by Zuo Liangyu and then requisitioned.

For this mission, Jiang Tengjiao was very cautious, because this was his first battle after entering the Xiong Family Army, and the troops he used were all the 10,000 people he originally brought over.

These people are all elite disciples of the Yellow River Platoon Gang, and their water kung fu is outstanding, and Jiang Tengjiao is naturally handy when commanding.

In order not to arouse Zuo Liangyu's suspicions, Jiang Tengjiao ordered his brothers to all dress up as fishermen, and rented all the fishing boats around Dongting Lake, and mixed the small sampans and hawksbill boats of his own sailors, and entered more than 90 "fishing boats" on the Yangtze River at one time.

These fishing boats went down the Honghu River, and they were serious about fishing on the river, and they could not leak the slightest flaw.

Zuo Liangyu has been in the army for many years, and he has been an official and a bandit for many years, and he belongs to a cunning and treacherous character.

According to Miao Sanguan's order, Jiang Tengjiao's main guard is Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Mengeng, who is ambitious but ambitious.

Jiang Tengjiao disguised himself as an old fisherman and took the lead with more than 20 fishing boats to explore the way. On his small boat were his six brothers, who were his juniors.

For three days in a row, each time, there would be flat-bottomed warships from Jiangbei to observe the fishing boats for a long time, but there was no friction.

On the fourth day, the same flat-bottomed warship came, and at last a centurion-like fellow pressed his knife and asked, "Whose ship are you?"

Jiang Tengjiao slowly stood up from the bow of the boat, knocked the dry tobacco pouch in his hand and pinned it to his belt, and then bowed down and said: "Master Jun, we are the fishing boat in Xiangyin Palace, which is not far upstream. ”

"Nonsense!" the centurion pulled out his waist knife with a loud bang: "The family of the King of Xiangyin was killed by thieves in Jiangling, how can you still let you come out to fish?"

Jiang Tengjiao let out a long sigh: "What the military master said is yes, the old prince's family has suffered. It is said that it will take 7749 days for the old prince to get rid of the sea of suffering and ascend to heaven and reincarnate. ”

"There are more than 100,000 people in these four miles and eight townships, and the flowing water mat is opened in 49 days, and nearly 10,000 catties of fish and shrimp are needed every day. Old man, I have been with the palace all my life, and at this last moment, I can only come out to do my filial piety. This person is really not good, the old prince disappeared in the blink of an eye, but it is a pity that he has such a big family business. Alas—"

The centurion put up a pergola and looked at the river: "Old man, this river is all for fishing in the Xiangyin Palace?"

Nodding, Jiang Tengjiao said very seriously: "Yes, this year is not good, and there are many fewer fish in the river." Originally, there were big fish in Dongting Lake, but now there are sailors to be trained inside, and it is said that we have to deal with the Liukou on the Jiangling side and recover Jingzhou, so we can only go to the river to try our luck. ”

The centurion's eyes lit up: "Are you saying that there are sailor warships in Dongting Lake?"

"That's a lot, the black pressure can't see the edge. Jiang Tengjiao spread his arms and said exaggeratedly: "The masts are like a large forest, we can only look at it from a distance, it is too much." I heard that there are more than 3,000 officers and soldiers of the Navy Division inside, which is amazing!"

The centurion did not continue the nonsense, but went back with a wave of his hand. Unexpectedly, two hours later, when the sun began to set, more than 20 small warships came out of Jiangbei at once.

The leader was still the centurion, and he came straight to Jiang Tengjiao: "All the fishing boats and the fish in them have been requisitioned by Zuo Shuai, now come with us!"

Jiang Tengjiao shook his arms and said busily: "Master Jun, Master Jun, this can't be helped, the palace will not be able to hold a banquet until we go back." ”

The centurion's eyes widened: "Now that the front line is tight, Zuo Shuai's 300,000 troops fight against the thieves, and there is not even food and grass. The young marshal has an order: all fishing boats will be requisitioned, and it will be fine to send our army into Dongting Lake. ”

Ninety fishing boats were requisitioned, and four hundred fishermen were also requisitioned as boatmen.

But if you want to cross the Yangtze River with 200,000 troops, these small boats are definitely not enough.

Jiang Tengjiao still has a way, and he actually gave the young marshal Zuo Mengeng an idea: "Young marshal, the big trees and bamboos on the mountain can be cut down and tied into wooden rows, and then you can cross it at one time." If you move quickly, you will be able to cross the river at dawn tomorrow. ”

Li Yan and the Red Lady's forward troops were in Chuyang, and Zuo Liangyu couldn't wait for a moment. As soon as they heard that Zhamupai could also enter Dongting Lake, the three armies immediately started to cut down the top of the mountain that night, and it became a bare mountain from then on.

Do you need to wait until dawn? Of course not.

As soon as the officers and soldiers carrying Zuo Liangyu crossed the river, someone had already come to pick them up.

It was none other than Shen Xiyue, the general of the Xiong Family's army, as well as the 6,000 sailors in Dongting Lake, and 72 three-masted warships.

Spare you Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Mengeng are treacherous and cunning like ghosts, but now the shape is not up to people. The army was waiting to die on the river, and could only accept the fact that the whole army was captured.
