Because of a strange coincidence, Lin Sheng, who succeeded Wang Xinhua, who was transferred to Zhejiang General Army, was in charge of Huguang Shuaiyin, and ordered troops to attack on the same day that Kazhu and Guo Shijie went south from Xiangyang. [New] Following Lin Sheng's order, the Zheng Army on the Eastern Front, who had been hiding in Huangzhou for half a month, moved up the river with overwhelming momentum, heading all the way to the northwest of Hubei.

Due to the many battles between the Zheng army and the Qing army on the Xiaogan and Huangpi lines, the two sides were in this small but bloody face-to-face battle on the main battlefield on the western front. The losses in the fight between the white soldiers were not small, so the Qing army did not discover Zheng Jun's actions in the first place.In addition, due to the lack of troops on the east front after the main force of the Zhennan camp was transferred westward to Jingzhou, the Qing army did not deploy defenders at the forefront of Xiaogan, Yunmeng, etc., so the Zheng army who attacked quickly captured the above-mentioned areas. And then continue to advance to De'an Mansion (Note: Anlu, but it is not the same as Anlu Mansion in Ming and Qing Dynasties)

"Military Gate!" Following the urgent call, two soldiers helped a bloody man rush into the Huguang Admiral's Yamen temporarily located in De'an Mansion, and appeared in front of Admiral Yue Shenglong. "Junmen, it's not good. The sentry reports that Haini has captured Yunmeng County, and now the army is marching towards De'an."

Yue Shenglong, who was conferred the title of Tuosha Lahafan (Yun Qiwei) because of his military exploits in the conquest of Galdan, was promoted from Tianjin General Soldier to Huguang Admiral a year ago, but today is different from the past. It is a compliment, but expecting him to continue working hard.Speaking of working hard, there are benefits to working hard, such as military merits, but there are three high-level officials, the county king general, Jingzhou general and the governor, and the dignified admiral is just a pawn who comes and goes when he is called, and it is not his turn at all. Come command the army.

And what makes Yue Shenglong even more disappointed is that because of the needs of the military situation ahead, the two township green camps in Huguang are all directly commanded by the Zhennan Camp. The two battalions in the battalion promotion bid are not even as good as when they were the commander-in-chief. 【new】

After finally waiting for the Zheng army to attack Jingzhou and the main force of the Zhennan battalion to go west, Yue Shenglong got the command on the eastern front.But it was also at this time that he discovered that the so-called command of the Eastern Front was just for him to guard the key points and act as a front-line shield when Zheng Jun attacked.This discovery, of course, made him resentful.

Speaking of which, Yue Shenglong's name has been submerged in the history of Zheng Kezang's previous time and space, but he has a famous son, Yue Zhongqi. They are all the sons of the eyes and ears sent by Yongzheng. At this moment, Yue Shenglong obviously has greater autonomy.Of course, this kind of autonomy was not specially given to him by Kangxi or Galtu, but because the military was in a hurry, and he only had two battalion promotion bidders, one battalion supervisor, and a few battalion leaders such as Jingmen battalion and Qizhou battalion. Even if someone wants to make some size comparison, the level is too far behind.

"Hai Ni army?" Yue Shenglong, who was writing with a pen, frowned as he looked at the anxious soldiers and the wounded who were out of breath. "Which battalion do you belong to? Where did you meet Hai Ni? How many troops does Hai Ni have?"

"The lowly position is, the general manager of the Qizhou camp," Tan Ma reported intermittently with the last bit of strength. "In Yunmeng City Beishili Store, I met Haini Brigade and Brigade, and fled back from my humble position. Brother Quan Xun is the only one left, I am the only one left."

"Come here, tell the guerrillas in the Qizhou camp to come and identify him." Yue Shenglong ordered decisively, it wasn't that he didn't believe the certificate on Tan Ma, it was because the matter was too big and he had to be cautious.

When the guards rushed out, Yue Shenglong dropped his pen, walked from the table to the dying Tanma, leaned down, and asked again: "You saw the Haini brigade, then you can see how many soldiers and horses Haini has. ?"

"A lot," Tan Ma's pupils had dilated, and his voice was barely audible, forcing Yue Shenglong to put his ear to the opponent's mouth regardless of the blood on the opponent's body. "A lot, thirty thousand, thirty thousand"

Before he could finish speaking, the chief lowered his head and lost his breath. [Thanks for supporting the novel]

Yue Shenglong straightened his body, took two quick steps in the courtyard, and ordered: "Close the four gates, and order the Jingmen Camp, Qizhou Camp, the Post-Bidding Camp, and the Pre-Bidding Camp to go up to the city wall to be vigilant. , come to see me immediately."

"My lord," suggested Ghoshha, who was close to him. "Should I send a fast horse to report to Xiangyang immediately!"

"No need." Yue Shenglong shook his head. "It's just a single person's certificate. If you report it to Xiangyang, it's too much. We'd better wait for news from other sentinels." Yue Shenglong said that he suddenly remembered something. "The order continues. No one is allowed to leave the city without the order of the admiral."

The guards retreated with the corpse, Yue Shenglong returned to the room, looked up at the map in front of him and suddenly laughed wildly: "It's a good plan, a good plan, as long as Xiangyang is captured, the Zhennan army will have no choice but to die."

Yue Shenglong was a first-rank admiral of Huguang, and it was impossible to hide the military situation from anyone, so it was impossible not to know the news that the Zhennan camp was shaken after repeated battles and defeats, as well as the disaster in eastern Sichuan and the cut off of the grain road in central Sichuan. When Zheng Jun finally met with a dagger, he immediately understood the opponent's arrangement.

"The [-] army, let's be wrong, it must be [-] to [-], the vanguard has [-] to [-], Haini, no, the total strength of the Zheng army may be [-] to [-]." Yue Shenglong Hit hard on the map. "If these [-] to [-] troops come to attack me, and there are less than [-] troops in De'an City, they will naturally be like a chariot. What if I go to attack Xiangyang?" Yue Shenglong frowned, and then relaxed. "As long as Xuzhou's reinforcements are not in Xiangfan City, they will surely succeed in one blow. It seems that my little pawn is really useful, ha ha, ha ha." Yue Shenglong laughed again. "I'm afraid that those who regarded me as an abandoned child would never have thought of today." After talking to himself for a while, Yue Shenglong suddenly roared out the window. "Let Yue Kang get out."

Yue Kang, who is the nephew of Yue Shenglong's clan, quickly appeared in front of Yue Shenglong: "Lu Fu, I have a secret for you to handle!"

Hearing Yue Shenglong's detailed explanation in his ear, Yue Kang's face showed an expression of extreme shock. He finished Yue Shenglong's explanation, looked around, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Uncle, did you have an affair with Haini?" , this, this, is from the nine tribes of Yi, our whole clan is still in Gansu, this, this"

"Stupid!" Yue Shenglong scolded. "If according to what you said, we would have died in De'an City without using the Yi Jiu Clan." Yue Shenglong patted Yue Kang on the shoulder. "Nowadays, the general situation in the world, the Qing Dynasty is precarious. We can't just blindly be loyal. Besides, Haini is willing to exchange thousands of captured bannermen and bannermen for the family members of Cao Zhongying's department. Can't he help us?" Yue Kang thought for a while. This is really the reason, let Yue Shenglong continue at this time. "Of course, asking you to contact us doesn't necessarily mean changing flags immediately. They have to agree to our conditions. Don't worry, your uncle, I've already thought about it. If we didn't change flags, the victory of Haini's battle would be [-]/[-], but If we are added, Haini will win a big victory, so they have to agree to our conditions. Take another [-] steps, even if we don't agree, then we have bought time to defend, and we can carefully ascertain the strength of Zheng Jun."

"What? Yue Shenglong is going to surrender." Yue Kang, who pretended to be a new scout, ran into Zheng Jun's forward shortly after he left the city. When they arrived in front of the commander, and because what he said was too big, they passed it on from one level to the next. Before nightfall, they were finally brought to Lin Sheng's tent. "What are the conditions?"

Although the confident Yue Kang knew that the person standing in front of him had a high status in the Zheng army, he still talked without fear: "My lord asked me to ask King Xia for three promises. First, my lord is from the Qing Dynasty." Admiral, in the Southern Dynasties, it is natural that this position cannot be lowered; second, the Qing court gave my family the title of Tosa Lahafan, if you really want to change the flag, you must have an earl; third, the Yue family's clan is still in Gansu, If it is attached, I am afraid that it will be harmed by the Qing court, and the Southern Dynasty will have to preserve it."

"It's okay to protect the clan, admiral and earl." Lin Sheng looked at the other party with a half-smile. "Your family's military sect is just a turtle in our army's urn. Isn't it ridiculous to ask for prices? It's wrong. Are you trying to delay the army?"

Yue Kang, who was partly told by Lin Sheng, his heart was beating wildly, but his expression remained unchanged: "It is undeniable that along the way, the villain saw the banners and flags of your army unfurling, and the army is huge, but De'an is a prefectural city, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the city. If my lord insists on defending, I am afraid that your army may not be able to capture Xiangyang in front of the Zhennan army."

Lin Sheng nodded: "Yue Junmen is indeed a veteran general in the battlefield, and I can see clearly what the fan is thinking. However, since our army has sufficient strength, can't we surround De'an with one part, and the rest point directly at Xiangyang? The defense of Xiangfan, I am still clear, and I am afraid that Gartu does not have many troops in his hands."

"My lord is wrong." Yue Kang chuckled. "Lord Gartu doesn't have many soldiers and horses, but two days ago, the vanguard of the army dispatched from Xuzhou has passed Xiangyang, and 4 to [-] horses will arrive one after another," Yue Kang looked at Zheng Fan, who had changed color. The generals said with some show off. "Does such an adult think that Gartu can't defend Xiangfan?"

"Forty thousand soldiers from Xuzhou?" Hong Hui, the first-class valet of the Privy Council who was standing next to Lin Sheng, couldn't hold back, and blurted out. "This statement is true." Yue Kang nodded arrogantly, and Hong Hui said again. "Then let me ask you, when will the [-] enemies arrive?"

Yue Kang smiled and didn't answer at this moment. Seeing Yue Kang's behavior, all the generals present gasped.

"This is a serious matter, and I want to fly to report to King Xia." The admiral and the earl's asking price are no longer what Lin Sheng can agree to, so Lin Sheng must report to Zheng Kezang, and he also has to verify the authenticity of the reinforcements from the Qing army. sex. "Go down and wait."

"Yes." Yue Kang replied, but reminded before turning around. "It's not too late, and things will change if it's too late. Please hurry up, my lord."

Lin Sheng waved his hands in displeasure: "I don't need you to remind me."
