Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 352 You're cheating, run! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

When the night fell on July 25 in the third year of the Republic of China, a messenger sent by Li Fuchen, escorted by several cavalry, found Li Zhongzheng's central army, which was marching along the Yuanjiang River, and the messenger saw Li Zhongshan's general The military flag hurriedly leaned forward.The whole group was dripping with sweat. They reined in Li Zhongshan's horse, clasped their fists in salute, and reported loudly: "His Royal Highness Nan Wang reported to the general that the vanguard cavalry of the Nan Wang Army caught up with the guards of Wu Zhou Junjie's book department on the east bank of the Taiping River. , beheaded thousands of people, captured [-] people, captured [-] horses and snatched the pontoon bridge built by Jie Shubu. Now His Royal Highness Nan Wang has led the army across the river! His Royal Highness Nan Wang asked the general to lead the army to join together immediately Chase and kill the fleeing enemy!"

Li Zhongshan frowned. Li Fuchen was still a bit old and strong. He had been besieged by Wu Sangui for so long and was still so fierce. As soon as Wu Zhoujun broke the siege, he immediately rushed all the way to pursue him, not afraid of being ambushed.Thousands of soldiers sent by that unlucky Jieshu have been destroyed along the way.But this time the Taiping River battle seemed to go too smoothly, and the pontoon bridge was actually taken down!Why did that Jieshu persist in Jiangxi for several years, why is it so useless now?Even if he is useless, isn't there still Wu Sangui?Could it be that "Jiujiang Wu Sangui" who is being beaten by Li Zicheng is real?It's not like it's still a scam!
He greeted back, and several Zhou Chang, Yao Qisheng, and Li Zhongzheng immediately joined together.

"The old man fought fiercely, and he has already fought the Taiping River! But it is also possible that Wu Sangui is using a trick to lure the enemy! So we must proceed cautiously. Don't march tonight, let's set up camp! Let the brothers rest well, and then Good meal!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Chang and Yao Qisheng agreed loudly, then turned around to convey Li Zhongshan's order, and drew up a plan for camping.But Li Zhongzheng did not agree, and said to Li Zhongshan with a worried face: "Second brother, do you think our father is underestimating the enemy now?"

Li Zhongshan just laughed dryly: "The old man is indeed a little aggressive, but don't worry too much about him, he is the brave general of the three armies, and the soldiers under his command are especially capable of fighting. Even if he falls into Wu Sangui's trap, he won't die for a while So let's not follow too closely, lest we get caught in an ambush all the way, we have to proceed slowly, and when the old man is really caught in an ambush, we will make a big attack, and we will be sure of victory."

Li Zhongzheng became anxious immediately after hearing this: "Second brother, that's our father! What if he fell into Wu Sangui's trap and was accidentally beaten to death?"

Why is brother Zhongzheng so filial?

Li Zhongshan glanced at him lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Old man, why are you cursing our father? How could our father be killed so easily? Don't worry, even if Wu Sangui surrounded him with several times the force, he would It is also able to withstand it! At that time, we will take advantage of their inextricable fight to launch an attack, and it will be difficult not to win!"

Li Zhongshan looked relaxed, not only not worried about Li Fuchen's safety, but even faintly looking forward to the old Li's ambush. It is said that this old Li has fought for half his life, and he is also the best cavalier in the world today. He is also proficient in a full set of light cavalry skills such as scouting, harassment, concealment, rearing, pursuit, sabotage, and ambush.

I think back then, in order to let Li Zhongshan and a few other "Little Lu Bu" learn the whole set of light and heavy cavalry skills, they beat children a lot, and they didn't understand happy education at all.Now if I am ambushed, it would be quite interesting!

But having said that, among Wu Zhou's army, apart from Wu Sangui himself, Wu Guogui, Ma Bao, and Wu Shicong were probably able to mobilize a large army to fight his ambush. Wu Yingqi didn't even have this ability!
If the old man is really in ambush, it means that Wu Sangui's old book has been brought out, and the seven towns led by Li Zhongshan (he left one town to assist Li Zicheng) can fight a battle with Wu Zhou's main force!

Now the battle with Wu Zhou's navy has been won, but the main battle with Wu Zhou's army hasn't been fought yet, so how can it be reassuring?
That's Wu Sangui!
Li Zhongshan is thinking of a decisive battle with the main forces of Wu and Zhou. Li Fuchen has just entered Taiping City on the west bank of the Taiping River. He is now leading three towns and his own soldiers from the palace, a total of more than 4 people, chasing Jieshu. More than [-] people are fighting, but he also feels that there may be fraud ahead!
This Jie Shu was well surrounded, why did he suddenly withdraw overnight?What's more, if you withdraw the troops, you will withdraw the troops, and hang up a lot of sheep to force them to kick the drum with their hind legs.Can't we keep some elite soldiers behind?Just get a few sheep, who do you look down on?

What's more, in the process of Li Fuchen's pursuit of Jieshu, the few troops thrown out by Jieshu were all so weak that they ran away as soon as they hit them!Even ran away without fighting. Fleeing when you see the enemy!

If Li Fuchen hadn't chased him a little harder, he wouldn't even be able to catch up with Jieshu's army, it would be too shameful.

However, Li Fuchen did not take it lightly. After he was stationed in Taiping City, he didn't have time to sleep well, so he randomly picked up a large plate of Jiangxi fried rice noodles, and then, with his confidant, represented Yu Deshui from the Jiangxi inspectorate. Master together, watch Master Yu's two subordinates torture a newly captured Master Baqi!

This Baqi uncle is more than 40 years old, with a burly figure, stripped naked to reveal his tendons, he is a ruthless character at a glance!
And it just so happens that this ruthless character is an acquaintance of Li Fuchen and Yu Deshui. His surname is Zu and his name is Yonglie. Father is Zu Kefa, the adopted son of Zu Dashou.Under the teaching of Zu Kefa, this Zu Yonglie is still a practicing family son, and he has real kung fu.

But Li Fuchen's men didn't make too much effort when they arrested him.It turned out that this guy led a group of Zhou soldiers who had lost their helmets and unarmored to set up an ambush on the east of the Taiping River to stop Li Fuchen's pursuers, but he saw Li Fuchen's "bright and blind" plate armor (half armor) cavalry lined up in a column, mighty and mighty When he drove over, he was so frightened that he rushed out of the ambush woods to escape for his life.

As long as he takes the lead, what will the soldiers below have to fight?Let's run away together, so we were crushed by Li Fuchen's cavalry!And he himself didn't run away, he was stabbed off the horse with a bamboo pole.Then he took off his armor and left a pair of underpants, which were tied up and taken to Taiping City.

After arriving in Taiping City, without even a mouthful of food, he was escorted to the yamen of an inspection department, and he couldn't help but beat him!
After being beaten to pieces, Li Fuchen and Yu Deshui came together.And those guys who beat him saw Li Fuchen and Yu Deshui coming, and finally remembered why they beat them?Start asking.

"You tartar, do you want to talk?"

"Don't say kill you!"

"Speak quickly! If you tell the truth, you can save your life!"

Hearing these people's persecution, Zu Yonglie, who had already been beaten so painfully everywhere, immediately faltered, "I said, I said, stop beating, you will be beaten to death if you beat me again. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

"Hey, isn't this Zu Da?" Li Fuchen recognized Zu Yonglie as soon as he took his seat, and said with a smile, "Then tell me what's wrong with your cousin Wu Sangui? How many elite soldiers has he prepared? Where to lay an ambush?"

Master Yu was still on the sidelines: "Speak up, you won't get beaten up!"

"But...but I don't know!"

Li Fuchen's eyes widened, and his tone had already softened: "The one surnamed Zu hasn't beaten enough yet?"

"Enough, enough!" Zu Yonglie hurriedly begged for mercy, "Enough fighting has been done, don't fight any more!"

"If you've beaten enough, tell the truth!" Master Yu enlightened him again, "Master Zu, don't hide it for your cousin Wu Sangui! You can't hide it either. There are quite a few of them! Even if you don’t mention it, they are not Wu Sangui’s relatives! This is your chance to survive! If you want to be Wu Sangui’s best friend, if His Royal Highness Nan Wang gets angry, it’s not like someone beats you Already!"

Li Fuchen patted the table again: "Say it or not? If you don't, I'll drag you out and chop you up!"

Master Yu looked anxious: "Say it quickly, if you don't say it, you will be killed!"

While talking, he still grinned and made the movement of pulling his head with the small knife.

Zu Yonglie cried anxiously: "King Nan, Master Yu, you have to trust me, I really don't know where the emperor of Zhou ambushed his soldiers? It was three months ago when I first met him, and now I don't know Don't know where others are?
Moreover, I am not the best friend of the Great Zhou Emperor!Except for Zu Zeqing and his son, no one in our ancestral family rebelled with the Great Zhou Emperor.Of course, I didn't follow him to fight against him. In fact, I came to Jiangxi with Prince Kang.

If you don't believe me, you can ask those lieutenants and generals! "

Li Fuchen turned his head and glanced at Master Yu.

Master Yu nodded.

Li Fuchen snorted: "Drag this traitor out and kill him."

beheaded?

I've said it all, why do I have to cut it off!

Zu Yonglie was anxious and afraid, and when he was dragged down, he was still howling at the top of his voice: "Nanwang forgive me, Nanwang forgive me, I've already said it. I don't know what Wu Sangui is holding back, I don't know Where are his elite soldiers? I really don't know.
I was guarding outside the city of Nanchang with Kang Wang before, and when we learned that Jiujiang was besieged, we prepared to run away. When the army from Jiujiang arrived, I followed Kang Wang and fled, and then you, Nanwang, chased you all the way with your soldiers. .”

Master Yu said: "Your Majesty, this Zu Yonglie looks quite honest, he doesn't seem to be lying. Or... let's save his life first."

"Well," Li Fuchen pretended to think for a while, "then put it on hold first, and sentence him to be executed first!"

Master Yu said to Zu Yonglie: "Zu Da, you can't die for the time being, why don't you hurry up and thank you!"

Zu Yonglie breathed a sigh of relief, and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you, thank you for not killing me, Your Majesty."

"Drag it!" With a wave of Li Fuchen's hand, Zu Yonglie was dragged down.

Seeing Zu Yonglie being dragged down, Master Yu said to Li Fuchen in a low voice: "My lord, this Zu Yonglie doesn't seem to be lying!"

"Then Wu Sangui is quite good at keeping secrets!" Li Fuchen paused, "Where is the second child? Where is he?"

"Chuanqi reported that he was camping in Zhangshu Town, which is about a day away from us." Master Yu thought for a while and said, "My lord, do you think Wu Sangui was really trapped in Jiujiang by Li Zicheng?"

"Impossible." Li Fuchen shook his head, "This old boy must be suffocating. I don't know where he wants to fight us?"

"My lord, should we urge the Second Young Master to come to Taiping Town to join us as soon as possible?"

"No need." Li Fuchen said, "It's useless to remind him. He is the general who records the affairs of the book, and I am still his subordinate, so I can't order him.

But he knows how to fight, so he won't be too far away from me.With him following, I am not afraid of Wu Sangui's ambush, but I am afraid that Wu Sangui will not come to fight!People surnamed Wu don't take action, that's why people worry! "

Master Yu asked again: "Then shall we continue to follow Jie Shu's defeated army?"

"Follow!" Li Fuchen nodded, "But don't follow too closely, let's just slowly pull his ass with a knife and eat his army one by one!"

Guangdong Province, Shaozhou Prefecture, Beijiang.

Wu Guogui's army, at this time, is divided into three groups, advancing along the Beijiang River and land-a road on the west bank of the Beijiang River, a road on the east bank of the Beijiang River, and a road in the Beijiang River by boat.

Wu Guogui himself led [-] cavalry and marched cautiously along the east bank of the Beijiang River.

Jia Guozhu, Jia Liuzi, the leader of the old Jia's family, was detained by Wu Guogui, and he was not allowed to go anywhere!

"Liuzi, who is in charge of commanding the army in Guangzhou now?" Wu Guogui asked Jia Liuzi again at this time who is the general commanding the army in Guangdong?
Wu Guogui had already asked the same question a few days ago, but today he didn't know if he forgot, or he wanted to test Jia Liuzi out of the blue.

"It's He Tianran and Li Zhongyi." Jia Liuzi said, "He Tianran is quite capable of fighting and has a unique handsome talent, but he was born next to your eldest son after all. Li Zhongyi is the adopted brother of Li Zhongshan and the adopted son of Li Fuchen. , it can be regarded as a member of the Li family, and they are quite brave, and they are very proficient in firearms soldiers and cavalry."

Wu Guogui nodded, what Jia Liuzi said was the same as last time, he shouldn't have lied, but He Tianran and Li Zhongyi's standards are not high, even if they open up to fight, Wu Guogui is sure.

Of course, the teams of Li Zhongshan and Li Fuchen started their troops late, although they have opened two lecture halls, which can train middle and lower-level officers in batches.However, a coach who can stand on his own is not something that can be cultivated. A general of this level can only be "used"!
As far as Wu Guogui knows, there are only three generals of this level in the Li family, namely Li Zhongshan, Li Fuchen, and this He Tianran - this He Tianran was the leader of Wu Shijue's personal army in his early years, and he has been battle-tested for a long time. , followed Wu Xiaotu to Li Zhongshan's side.Later, because of "playing" Oboi, he got the opportunity to practice, and he has been leading troops independently, and performed well, so he grew up.

But his standard is not at the same level as Li Fuchen and Li Zhongshan, so it is not difficult to deal with.

As for Li Zhongyi, after a few more years of training, he might become the commander-in-chief of one side, but now he is only in charge of monitoring He Tianran.

While silently analyzing Li Zhongshan and the generals on Li Fuchen's side, suddenly a team galloped over without closing the whistle at night.They came from the east, everyone was travel-stained, and seemed to be restless, wandering among the hills to the east, providing vigilance for the flanks of the army.Wu Guogui's personal soldiers stopped them and asked a few words, then let one of the teams come over.

Wu Guogui's heart skipped a beat, he just reined in and waited.Seeing that the Yebushu team was far away, he dismounted from his horse and rushed a few steps forward to salute: "My lord, my subordinates are the sentry team leading the direction of Wengyuan County. They went out to the direction of Jiangzhenshui yesterday. No signs of Ming army brigade activity were found. Wengyuan County is already on alert, and the bridges over the water in Jiangzhen have been guarded by militia groups."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The terrain on both sides of the Beijiang River in Shaozhou Prefecture is a bit pitted. There are river valleys one by one. There are flat lands on both sides of the Beijiang River, and there are mountains on both sides of the Beijiang River.

It is simply the best location for an ambush!

If Jia Guozhu is a little fool and Wu Xiaotu is a cheating father and daughter, then the most suitable place for them to set up an ambush is probably in Yingde County where Wu Guogui is located.Because the terrain at the junction of Yingde County, Fogangting, and Qingyuan County is very narrow, it is all mountainous, and the Beijiang River passes through the mountains.As long as He Tianran and Li Zhongyi block the banks of the Beijiang River in this area, and then set up ambushes in the mountains and forests on both sides of the Beijiang River in the north of Yingde County, they can form a perfect pocket formation. Wu Guogui's [-] troops (he Some troops were left along the way) all in bags.

All the generals under Wu Guogui showed joyful expressions, and some of them were already eager to take the lead in the battle. As long as they can pass through the mountainous area ahead and reach Qingyuan County, the next terrain will be wide open!

Even if the Guangfu people have mobilized, Wu Guogui and the others are not afraid, as long as they hold Qingyuan and the Daluo Mountain at the junction of Yingde, they can attack and defend!
"No!" Wu Guogui's expression darkened suddenly, he raised his hand and pointed at Jia Guozhu, and shouted, "Take this person down!"

"Yes!"

Although the incident happened suddenly, Wu Guogui's soldiers still rushed forward without hesitation and pulled the unsuspecting Jia Guozhu off his horse. Jia Guozhu was still crying out for grievances, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Wu Guogui sneered and said, "Sixth son, stop pretending. You're feigning surrender!"

"I didn't! I really surrender!" Jia Guozhu looked innocent.

Wu Guogui smiled and said: "Let you understand. The king has already arrived in Yingde, how could He Tianran and Li Zhongyi be unprepared? Even if the national soldiers need time to mobilize, setting up suspicious soldiers in the mountains around Yingde and Wengyuan will be difficult." Why is it so difficult? The bearded man is still not meticulous enough to do things without doing this!"

"Your Majesty, you are just guessing!" Jia Guozhu would not admit that he had surrendered, "You are guessing without any basis. If the subordinate came to pretend to surrender, why didn't the Ming army set up ambushes in the mountains on both sides of the Beijiang River?"

"Why don't you set up an ambush in the mountains on both sides of the Beijiang River?" Wu Guogui said coldly, "Because He Tianran knows that this king is cautious, and if he wants to set up an ambush here, he will not succeed. If my guess is correct, they will ambush in Nanxiong and Lianshan. , When our army arrives in Yingde, we will go directly to Guangxi and send troops to Hunan!"
