Chapter 159 There is no retreat
The Chu Palace in Wuchang City is filled with the fragrance of tea.

Ning Zhongyuan held a piece of military newspaper in his hand, his fingers were blue and white, his face was dark and uncertain.

Cui Wancai was holding a cup of camellia tea and was sipping tea. He had read the military newspaper just now, and he knew what Ning Zhongyuan was worried about.

"Tinghe, you can really sit still. The Wei Yan of the Qing Dynasty has already arrived. Can I have a clever plan to restore the Han army's Zhuge?" In Jiangxi, distant waters cannot save nearby fires, so do you think the troops were brought back from Jiujiang or from the northern line?"

"Your Majesty, you must not mobilize the troops on the northern front at this time. The northern front has fought very hard to resist Kangxi's onslaught. If you deploy it again, the situation will be lost! As for Jiujiang, I am afraid that it is also in trouble at this time Surrounded!"

Cui Wancai put down his teacup and said, "What's more, this urgent report from Lord Hanyang is not just a simple warning!"

"Oh? But what other explanations are there?" Ning Zhongyuan was a little puzzled.

"Exactly, we can learn from the military newspaper that Lord Hanyang is not worried that Fu Erdan's 1 troops will be able to take down Wuchang. Instead, he thinks it is an opportunity. This opportunity can completely solve the threat to our army in the east."

Cui Wancai's expression was slightly moved, and he said in a low voice: "Mr. Hanyang's move can be described as a big deal!"

Ning Zhongyuan re-read the general newspaper carefully, and seemed to understand something, "You mean, Yu'er plans to let Fu Erdan's 1 people come in, and then he will go to take Anqing and take the Qing army's food and grass to transfer land, thus completely cutting off the vitality of the [-] army!"

"Not only that, besides wanting to completely wipe out the [-] Qing troops, Lord Hanyang also wants to have a decisive battle with Kangxi. If we can win this battle, our Fuhan army will enter the sea from now on, and we don't have to worry about the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army anymore! "

Ning Zhongyuan stood up and sighed slightly: "It's just that if Fu Erdan is let in this time, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing to my people in Chu. I am sorry for them, and the Fuhan Army is also sorry for them."

Cui Wancai naturally understood in his heart that with the nature of the Qing army, the road from Tongshan to Xianning would probably turn into a sea of ​​blood, but there is no better way at the moment, and he can only accept this fact.

Although he is a scholar, he is not pedantic, so he persuaded: "Your Majesty, it is a time of great controversy. Whether it is our army or the Qing army, they are all fighting on the same line. Will suffer more!

"Your Majesty, the overall situation should be the top priority at the moment. I have already arranged for people from the Political Affairs Hall to evacuate the population in Xianning. This will also reduce losses." Having said this, the meaning is already obvious, let's do our best.

It's just that Ning Zhongyuan knew in his heart that not many people could be evacuated in a short time, and Fu Erdan's [-] troops might leave Mufu Mountain soon, when the time came, the people here would face the knife's edge.

If that's the case, what's the difference from deceiving one's ears and stealing the bell?Thinking of this, Ning Zhongyuan made up his mind immediately.

"Tinghe, issue my order, gather the defenders of Hanyang and Wuchang, and go out with me, and set off tonight to guard Xianning!"

Ning Zhongyuan's tone was very flat, but there was a sense of duty in his words.

Xianning is just a small county with a narrow city, while Wuchang is a strong city with a high wall and a thick wall. No matter who is assigned to guard it, the former will not be considered.

"Your Majesty, why is this so? We just need to stick to Wuchang. With the vastness of Wuchang city, Fu Erdan can't do anything to me!"

Cui Wancai was a little dumbfounded, he didn't understand that this old soldier who was decisive in killing and attacking on weekdays behaved so differently today, but Ning Zhongyuan's attitude of caring for the people made Cui Wancai feel ashamed.

Ning Zhongyuan has never read the books of sages and sages, and he doesn't know what it means to achieve great things regardless of trivial matters, but he understands one thing in his heart, that is, when the Ning family was in danger, it was the support of the folks in Chu that made Ning Zhongyuan The Yuan and Ning families have developed to this day, and only then have the Fuhan Army. If they abandon them now, what face do I have to meet these elders?
What's more, it doesn't mean that you can sit back and relax by sticking to Wuchang. Even if Fuerdan can't beat Wuchang, can you still beat Hanyang and Xiaogan County?That is the place where the Ning family has been rooted for a hundred years, how can they give up easily?
This is the difference between Ning Yu and Ning Zhongyuan. In Ning Yu's view, as long as Wuchang can be kept, he can get it back if he loses it in other places. As for some sacrifices, it is inevitable.But in Ning Zhongyuan's heart, he consciously bears a responsibility to every subject.

As the saying goes, a gentleman does something and doesn't. He Ning Zhongyuan is not a gentleman, but he is also a man of blood.

"Tinghe, write down the imperial edict. If there is any accident, he will immediately pass the position to Ning Yu. Gu can die, but the Han army can't die. This is the hope of the big guys."

"Ting He, Yu'er is your student and your son-in-law, you must help him well in the future!"

Ning Zhongyuan, who has always used you and me, is the first time to use Gu Zai to call himself. There is no fear in his eyes, only calmness, and only the desire to restore the Han army.He is not a truly courageous monarch, but he loves the people under his rule deeply.

Cui Wancai heaved a long sigh, knelt down quickly, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, yes, the minister dies!"

On the eighth day of September in the 60th year of Kangxi, Fu Erdan led a tired army of less than [-] out of Mufu Mountain and arrived at Tongshan Mountain. This long and difficult journey exhausted the vigor of the entire army.

More than 1000 people disappeared on the vast mountain road. They may have left the team, or they may have rolled off the cliff. Even Fu Erdan almost died on this road. The passion and bestiality within are rekindled.

Fu Erdan is not a general who loves the people like a son, and he doesn't believe this either. When he crossed Mufu Mountain, he had already given the order not to seal the sword. Climb down alive.

During the march of the army, there was burning, killing and looting all the way. Fu Erdan used this method to inspire the fighting spirit and intensify the hatred.Fortunately, the road from Tongshan to Xianning was sparsely populated, so it did not cause heavy losses.

Because of this, Fu Erdan is also eager to reach Xianning, so that he can have the opportunity to sharpen the knife in his current hand, and only with blood can he be invincible.

And Ning Zhongyuan gathered all the garrison troops of Wuchang City and Hanyang City, together with his own guards of the palace, was also heading towards Xianning.

These two garrison regiments are not the elite main force, they only have 4000 people in total, and they usually use swords and guns as the main force. All the guns have been supported by the front line, so most of them are armed with swords and guns, and their combat effectiveness is relatively low.

In addition, what Ning Zhongyuan can really rely on is the guards of the palace. There are more than 500 people in total. Their organization is the same as that of the main force division. artillery.

For each other, this is a battle of no retreat.
