& [New] "How is this possible? Did Haini fly to the city of Xiangyang? What, Yue Shenglong is a traitor, how is this possible?" Guo Shijie stared at the messenger on the other side dumbfounded. He will definitely think that the other party is Zheng Jun pretending to be. "Master Ka, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

The governor of the full staff said that the admiral of the Han army flag colluded with the enemy. This reason is really not something a small general can bear, so Guo Shijie had to kick the ball to the feet of Ka Zhu, who is also full and from the Beijing banner.

But Kazhu is also a son of Liulidan, so he will not accept the move easily: "Master Guo, the military order of the Ministry of War is to let us obey the restraint of the Zhennan Camp. Although Lord Gartu is the governor of Huguang, he cannot be dispatched at will. We brothers."

"Lord Dutong," Gartu's messenger was anxious when he heard it. "If there is a loss in Xiangfan, not only the tens of thousands of soldiers under the two lords will not be able to return to their hometowns, but even the tens of thousands of soldiers in the southern camp of Zhennan will die without a place to bury them!"

Kazhu's face suddenly changed: "Bold, a mere coat-coated slave dares to point fingers and roar at Jietang, come and drive them out!"

The soldiers on the side were about to move, but Guo Shijie cautiously tugged at the lapel of his clothes: "Master Guo, what do you mean!"

"Lord Ka, be careful." Guo Shijie led Ka Zhu to the map. "This person is right. As far as we have seen along the way, there are vast mountains to the west, and the southeast is either the Yangtze River or the sea is occupied. Our only way back is Xiangfan. In case Xiangfan is lost, we can really go back It has become a turtle in a urn."

"Then Mr. Guo means that we will return to the north immediately." Ka Zhu couldn't hold back his face, and said in his heart that it was you who asked for advice. What do you mean when I sing red face and you sing bad face again. "However, if he was hit by the strategy of Hainisheng attacking east and west, wouldn't it delay the time to join forces with Zhennan Daying? If Pingjun Wang blames him, who will bear the responsibility.[ ]"

Guo Shijie didn't respond to the strange yin and yang, but frowned and explained: "Lord Ka, I'd rather believe it or not. If there is nothing wrong with Xiangfan, at most it's just a delay of the trip. Don't worry." First, if something goes wrong, these tens of thousands of soldiers will be ruined in Huguang, and the foundation of the imperial court will inevitably be shaken."

Seeing that Ka Zhu was unmoved, Guo Shijie said again: "With Master Gartu's warrant, what responsibility do you and I have?"

After thinking about it for a while, Guo Shijie's words are not bad.As a big official in the frontier, Gartu's status is far from being comparable to that of a mere deputy. If he obeys his order and makes a mistake, the responsibility is naturally the other party's, but if he does not obey his order and makes a mistake, then his own Small stature can not afford to blame.

Now that he had figured it out, Ka Zhu went downhill along the steps given by Guo Shijie: "Master Guo is right, there will naturally be a tall man to support the sky when it falls, and I don't have to worry about it for nothing."

However, although Ka Zhu agreed to come back for help, he was still a little worried. He suggested, "Should I inform Jingzhou?"

Guo Shijie looked at the messenger: "Did Lord Gartu ask you to continue going south for emergency?"

The answer is naturally no, so Guo Shijie speculated: "Has Haini not surrounded Xiangyang yet?"

The answer this time is yes, and Kazu heard it and gave up: "It turns out that the old bastard is suffering from hysteria. Mr. Guo, we should give up on the matter of returning aid. The 300-odd miles of road will be bumped back and forth by the son below, and spread. I'm afraid the morale of the army will be unstable."

"That's it." Guo Shijie was also a little uncertain, and he thought for a while: "Since Mr. Gartu doesn't want to disturb the Zhennan camp, then we also don't want to disturb the south. As for the northern aid, I think we can send scouts to go north first." Take a look, if Lord Gartu still insists on our return to aid, then go north.” Of course Kazhu agreed, but Gartu’s envoy insisted on sending troops back to aid now, Guo Shijie had no choice but to come up with another idea A compromise method was proposed: "After exploring the horses and setting off, first transfer two battalions from Laizhou Town to the north, and wait for definite news before setting off with the whole army."

Just two hours after Guo Shijie's Tanma and Beiyuan's battalion heads were sent out, another travel-stained messenger broke into the camp. This time, there was clearly clear information that [-] Xuzhou reinforcements were wiped out. Anytime, anywhere, it is possible to surround Xiangfan and cut off the return of tens of thousands of Qing troops. 【new】

"Hurry up, send someone to report to King Pingjun." Ka Zhu changed his behavior just now, and ordered impatiently, and at the same time, he gave orders to Guo Shijie with the style of a superior. "Master Guo, the military situation is critical, we must leave immediately, we must arrive at Xiangfan within three days!"

The straight-line distance from Xiangyang to Jingmen is [-] miles, and they arrived within three days, that is to say, they had to march a hundred miles a day. It seems that this is not a big problem, but you must know that in the entire cold weapon era, it is rare to travel hundreds of miles a day. In the art of war, there is even a saying that the one who seeks profit for a long time will defeat the general.Therefore, at that time, the marching speed in the enemy's territory was usually [-] miles per day, and even in the own-controlled area, this speed was doubled at most.Therefore, in order to realize the order of Kazuo, the two departments of Kazakhstan and Guo must march in a hurry.

Of course there is no problem with the rapid march, but the key is whether Xiangfan will be surrounded within three days. When he thinks that the [-] follow-up troops will be eaten up by Zheng Jun cleanly, Guo Shijie can't help being frightened, so he retreats from his previous position: "Lord Ka, the sea is against the trend, we should wait for the army from the south of the town to arrive before returning north together."

"Waiting for the Zhennan army?" Ka Zhu smiled wryly. "I'm afraid that Xiangfan will already fall by then." Of course, Ka Zhu knew about the situation in Xiangfan City, even if he didn't know it before, he now knows it after asking Gartu's personal guards. "My lord Guo, the speed of your troops is precious, as long as we can rush to Xiangfan before Xiangyang falls, it will be a great achievement, and the emperor will definitely not be stingy with rewards!"

After Kazhu said that, Guo Shijie has nothing else to say: "Come here, send down the 3 taels of silver in the army, and tell the brothers in each battalion that if they can arrive in Xiangfan in time, each person will have 30 taels of silver as a reward."

On the day when the Ka and Guo ministries returned north in a panic, Zhu Da, who had just conquered Chongqing Mansion, led his troops to conquer Kuizhou Mansion without stopping.Zhu Da, who lacked siege artillery and other heavy weapons, conquered Kuizhou Mansion, and also used the method of spies to seize the door.Speaking of which, this set was originally used by Hou Jinfa in Liaodong when he was a family. During the turmoil in the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other ministries regarded it as a secret to breaking the city, but now it has become a must-win for Zhu Da's "Ming Army". magic weapon.

The fall of Kuizhou City of course meant that the Qing army in Huguang had no way to withdraw eastward, and for the Qing army in central Sichuan, it naturally lost a lot of external support.In view of the fact that Zhu Da's "Ming Army" was already known as [-], Sang E, who was transferred from the governor of Hunan to the general of Chengdu, had to lead the military standard and the Sichuan new army to Chongqing urgently before the reinforcements from Jianchang and Songpan towns arrived. Frontline conquest.

"My lord, the governor and the general have the same intentions, that is to abandon Loushanguan and Zunyi, and return to the teacher to put down the puppet state first." Deng Xinhai, who has the status of an alternate Taoist, traveled all the way through mountains and mountains, finally led by the caravan. Xia rushed from Luzhou to Zunyi, eight points of his life had already been lost, but because of the lack of magistrate promised by the governor's office, he could only persuade Qiu Ba in front of him sickly. "As long as the overall situation in central Sichuan is stable, Zunyi still has a chance to get it back."

Qin Youlu, the commander-in-chief of Chongqing Town, is very popular now. Not only did Zhu Da, who captured Chongqing, send people to threaten him with his family members, but even Zheng Fan, who had inquired about the Eastern Sichuan Incident, also sent people to persuade him to surrender. With the addition of envoys from Chengdu, he can basically stage the Romance of the Three Kingdoms here.

Since the three parties have requests, Qin Youlu naturally has to make some decisions: "Returning to the teacher, the governor and the general are easy to say, Chongqing has fallen, the grain road in central Sichuan has been cut off, Chongqing town is almost out of cooking, what support can we use?" Return to the division. Besides, the families of our soldiers are all in Chongqing and Kuizhou, and now their lives and deaths are unknown, and the morale of the army is very turbulent."

Of course, Deng Xinhai understood that it would take real money to impress General Qin: "Since the military rations are insufficient, it is even more important to return to the army immediately. Otherwise, once the rations run out, Chongqing Town may collapse."

Looking at someone from Qin with a cloudy face, Deng Xinhai threw a bone: "It is precisely because of the difficulty of arriving in Chongqing Town. When we came, the Zhijun had agreed to open the Zunyi government treasury to meet the needs of Chongqing Town as much as possible. If the government treasury is insufficient, the army also agrees that Chongqing Town will collect subsidies from Zunyi officials and people."

The so-called collection of subsidy is of course a high-sounding statement. If Qin Youlu is calmer, he can use this excuse to blackmail the big family. The Sichuan Provincial Government of the Qing court who opened up Kuimen as soon as possible will turn a blind eye.

But Deng Xinhai's bones are obviously not enough, because Zunyi is now under the control of Chongqing Town, and it is Qin Youlu's words to want round or flat. Naturally, he does not need to accept Chengdu's empty check, so Deng Xinhai had to throw another one Bones: "If Chongqing Town returns to the division and helps the war to wipe out the Puppet Supervisory Kingdom, the governor is willing to recommend you to go further, and the imperial court will also reward you with honors."

The commander-in-chief is of course an admiral, but there are only a few admirals in the whole country, and Chengdu can't make the decision. As for Shixun, it can be seen that the rule of the Qing court is already crumbling. What is the use of Shixun, so Qin Youlu is just perfunctory.

When Deng Xinhai was sent to the guest room to rest with an ugly face, Qin Youlu had to think about it.

That's right, now that the three parties are making efforts, he must plan before making a move, otherwise there will be unexpected risks.But which one should the three parties choose?Zhu Da's background is weak, and he used to be a helper in need, so he was naturally rich and honorable, but also because of his weak foundation, he was bound to die without a place to bury him under the attack of the two sides.If you choose the Qing Dynasty, the key lies in the military rations. In addition, Zheng Jun will definitely take the opportunity to enter, and you can't expect the opponent not to beat the dog in the water.But if he chooses Zheng Fan, his military supplies will not be a problem, and he will not be treated as a dog in the water. However, all his subordinates and family members are under Zhu Da's control. If things change suddenly, he may not be able to control the troops.

Qin Youlu, who was in trouble for a while, thought about it, and finally said to the door: "Go and invite the envoy of the Zheng family."
