Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 280
Let’s say that Wang Yan wants to order Qi’s troops to kill and rush to Wuchang. Li Guo, Marquis of Xingguo, advises that Jiangxia should be defeated first. The number of 2 was killed and rushed to Jiangxia.

In the city of Wuchang, after Luck Dehun defeated Liu Chengyin, he learned from Jiangxia that this Ming army was not Wang Yan's vanguard. They entered Wuchang city lightly, not because Wang Yan lured the enemy, but because He Tengjiao made a bold move. .

Le Ke Dehun learned that after Jiang Xia's Qing army intercepted and killed more than 1 people from Liu Chengyin's department retreated to Chibi, he couldn't help feeling remorse. All the troops were killed to avenge his past humiliation.

Before, the Qing army in Huguang shrank across the board, and all the forces belonging to the Qing Dynasty were concentrated in the two cities of Wuchang and Jiangxia. This made Luck Dehun unable to obtain information outside the city, and became deaf and blind.

Luck Dehun learned his lesson, took advantage of the cavalry, and immediately sent a large number of scouts to investigate the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to find out the movements of Wang Yan's army so that he could formulate a decisive battle strategy.

The Qing army was defeated by him before. He thought that he would be punished by the Qing court, but he did not expect that Dorgon would give him another chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. Luc Dehun naturally cherished it very much. He had a burning flame in his heart and wanted to defeat him. Wang Yan, I want to be ashamed.

On this day, Luck Dehun was standing in a daze in front of a map of Huguang. The defeat of Liu Chengyin completely eliminated the decadence in his heart. He was no longer as cautious as before, and he expected a greater victory.

When the Taizu of the Qing Dynasty was able to defeat the Ming army in Sarhu, Luck Dehun believed that he could also regain the glory of his ancestors.

Luck Dehun stood on the map and thought hard, thinking how to defeat more than [-] Ming troops with [-] Qing soldiers, but he didn't have any strategy in his mind.

At this time, Tong Yanghe, the governor of Huguang of the Qing court, came in with a soldier. Tong Yanghe saluted slightly, but the soldier bowed, "Master Belle, the Ming army divided [-] troops and went to take Jiangxia."

Luck Dehun just sent out scouts, and immediately got important news back. He couldn't help secretly admiring his strategy, so he asked, "Where is Wang Yan's main force? The one who attacked Jiangxia was to take troops."

Hearing the words, the soldiers kowtowed quickly and replied: "Report to Lord Belle, Wang Yan's army is still in Chibi, the Ming army that attacked Jiangxia fought under the banner of the loyal army, and the general is Li Guo, Marquis of Xingguo."

Wang Yan sent Li Guo instead of He Tengjiao's troops, and Jiang Xia's situation immediately became severe.

Although there are more than 2 Qing soldiers in Jiangxia City, which is not much different from Li Guo's troops. It is not easy for the Ming army to break through the city, but Li Guo's [-] soldiers are enough to contain Jiangxia Qing soldiers in the city and cut off Jiangxia. Contact with Wuchang.Nalk Dehun's goal of Jiangxia and Wuchang guarding the horns no longer exists.

Lu Kede heard the words, and waved his hands to make the soldiers retreat, but there was silence on his face.

Seeing this, Tong Yanghe immediately said: "Wuchang and Jiangxia are guarded as horns. If Jiangxia loses, then Wuchang can't hold him for long. The lower officials think that Baylor should send troops to rescue as soon as possible!"

Luck Dehun listened, but did not answer, but stood in front of the map, his eyes kept wandering between Wuchang, Jiangxia, and Chibi, and Tong Yanghe saw this, so he had to stand silently and wait.

Time passed by every minute and every second, but Luck Dehun stood in front of the map like a fossil. He wanted to defeat Wang Yan too much, and he would never allow another failure.

Seeing this, Tong Yanghe couldn't help feeling a little anxious. He is a Jurched Han Chinese, but he doesn't believe in the Han people, he doesn't believe in the Green Camp. He will not defect and surrender to the Ming army.

Just when Tong Yanghe was anxious and unbearable, Luck Dehun finally withdrew his eyes from the map, then turned around, with an elusive smile on his mouth and said: "Governor Tong is right, Jiang Xia has to Save me, I already have an ingenious plan in my mind, not only can it solve Jiang Xia's worries, but also have a chance to defeat Wang Yan and reverse the decline of Huguang in one fell swoop."

Tong Yanghe was surprised when he heard the words, he was not surprised that Lucdehun had a strategy to defeat the enemy, but worried that Lucdehun's eagerness to win would ruin the battle situation set by the Qing court.

The order given to Wuchang by the Qing court was to stick to the city, wait for Azig on the North Road to break through Xiangyang, and then attack Wang Yan with the Qing soldiers on the North Road, and Huguang was settled immediately.

In Tong Yanghe's view, it was enough for Luck Dehun to defend Jiangxia and Wuchang. As for defeating Wang Yan, they should not think too much about it. If Wang Yanzhen was defeated so easily, they would not nest in Wuchang City.

Looking at Tong Yanghe's expression, Luck Dehun seemed to know what he was thinking, then walked to the map, pointed to Jiang Xia and said, "I know Governor Tong's worries, but you can listen to my plan first. Wang Yan asked [-] Ming troops to attack Jiangxia, and I ordered Geng Jimao to feign defeat, destroying Jiangxia City and handing it over to the Ming army. I personally led [-] cavalry to join them, and then encircled the Ming army in Jiangxia instead. Wang Yan's generals, Wang Yan will not fail to save, when the time comes, this commander can set up an ambush halfway and defeat Wang Yan! What does Governor Tong think?"

Tong Yanghe couldn't help raising his brows when he heard the words, and had to admit that Luc Dehun's plan was very feasible, one link after another, Wang Yan was very likely to fall into the trap, but his original intention was just to let Luc Dehun send thousands of people. The state soldiers, a full-fledged general, went to supervise Geng Jimao's defense of the city, but he did not expect that Luck Dehun would take away half of Wuchang's soldiers and horses. Once Baylor leaves with [-] soldiers and horses, Wuchang's guards will become weaker, and if the Ming army attacks, the officials may not be able to hold on!"

"Governor Tong is worrying too much~" Le Kede heard the words, and smiled slightly: "Wang Yan's army is at the west gate. If he wants to attack Wuchang, I must know. I have the advantage of cavalry in the Qing Dynasty. I can return at any time." Aid, why should Governor Tong be worried?"

Tong Yanghe heard the words, his face was slightly tangled, and finally nodded and said: "Then according to Baylor's words, but among the two generals Jue Luo Langqiu or Tulai, Baylor should leave at least one for the subordinates!"

Although the Qing court did not win Luck Dehun, his previous performance really disappointed the Qing court.

The Qing court was afraid that he would act impulsively. Although he still let him command the battle of Wuchang, he gave Tong Yanghe the right to supervise the army. Seeing that Tong Yanghe agreed, Luck Dehun immediately said with joy: "The commander will leave Tulai to defend the city. What does Governor Tong think?"

Tong Yanghe nodded and said: "Angbang Zhang Jingtu Lai is brave and used to fighting, he is the right person!"

"Then Wuchang City, please entrust Governor Tong. This commander immediately mobilizes troops and heads to Jiangxia."
