The drizzle came unexpectedly, and the horse's hooves splashed mud and water on the muddy road, making a Dada sound.

The people of Xiangtan watched the mysterious armored cavalry galloping by from a distance, their eyes full of worry. It is said that the south of Dongting Lake has become a sea of ​​corpses and blood. These people naturally do not want their hometowns to become battlefields, and any sudden arrival of troops is enough to make them nervous.

When war begins, these common people have no choice. Although this is their hometown for generations, they have never determined the fate of their hometown.

When I arrived at Changsha City, it was already late, and the drizzling autumn rain made the sky darker than usual.

The defenders on Changsha City were nervously looking at the sudden soldiers and horses coming from the city, at a loss. A small soldier had already entered the city in panic and went to report to He Tengjiao. A large-scale purge was underway in Changsha City, and he was detained by him. The people in the city were panic, and the origin of this army had to be thought about.

Among Hou Xuanyan's personal guards, a burly man with a rough voice came out from the crowd. He shouted loudly: "Wu Yuebo led his troops to help Huguang. If there is any important military situation, we will open the city gate quickly!"

The defenders on the city gritted the bullet and smiled, "Please wait for Wu Yue, we have already asked the Governor."

"Damn it! If the military information is delayed, can you afford to be offended?"

Hou Xuanyan raised his horse whip, threw the straw raincoat under the horse, and said loudly: "I led the army to come. Is this the city of the Ming Dynasty no longer the Ming Dynasty? Do you want to block the remaining bodies of my five thousand brothers from outside the city?"

The young generals in the city kept begging for mercy, but they didn't dare to open the city. Hou Xuan spoke, "Well, this is a secret letter, you can go and send it to Governor He Tengjiao quickly." After saying that, he handed it to the guards beside him, who took out an arrow from the quiver and bent his bow and shot it onto the city tower.

The soldier pulled out the arrow, took the secret letter and rushed to the Governor's Office. He happened to meet He Tengjiao and his confidant on the road. The three of them were riding in a car and heading to the city tower. Hou Xuanyan laughed and said to Xia Wanchun: "We are at the city, and He Tengjiao knows nothing. As the governor of a province, he hides in the city like a blind and deaf man. Such a person leads troops to fight, and it is really strange to win."

He Tengjiao took the secret letter from the window of the carriage. After unfolding it, he was so scared that he saw it.

Zhang Kuang hurriedly asked, "Brother Yun Cong, what is the saying in the letter?"

He Tengjiao handed him the so-called secret letter. Zhang Kuang and Fu Shangrui leaned forward and saw that it read: Zheng Zhilong deceived the king and the emperor, I am in Fuzhou, just like Emperor Xian of Han in Xuchang. I hope you will consider the righteousness of the king and the ministers, and jointly kill Zheng Zhilong with Hou Xuanyan, and save me and the fire.

Zhang Kuang lowered his voice and said, "I have heard that Hou Xuanyan had the courage to splash the sky and ran to Fuzhou alone. It turned out that it was for this big event."

Fu Shangrui's eyes turned and he whispered: "Will there be any fraud?"

Zhang Kuang chuckled, feeling like Zhuge possessed him, and said calmly and freely: "Brother is too worried. Even if Hou Xuanyan has great courage, there is no reason to create such a secret order privately. I think this is a good opportunity and it is worth taking advantage of it. If you use it well, it can be worth the army of 100,000."

He Tengjiao turned his head, looked at him sideways, and asked, "Oh? What's your trick?"

Zhang Kuang saw that He Tengjiao valued him so much, and Fu Shangrui could only listen with his ears aside, and he couldn't help but feel proud. A famous literati had already reached a small group related to Heqi, and both of them were about to fight.

"We can drive away wolves and fight against tigers. Neither Hou Xuanyan nor Zheng Zhilong are good-for-nothing. As long as they both suffer losses, we will come forward to bring His Majesty to Changsha, and the world will be in control. Only when we, Qingliu, have the military and political control, can we expel the Tartars, fight the Central Plains in the north, and restore our Han family."

He Tengjiao's face was flushed, his blood was surging, and his fair face was filled with excitement.

"Well said, we must deal with it carefully and find a way to make this Hou Xuanyan use it for me."

Zhang Kuang was completely immersed in his wisdom, impressed by his own wisdom, and could not extricate himself. He smiled indifferently: "Brother Yun Cong, don't worry, just Hou Xuanyan, it is said that he is under twenty years old, and in front of us, it is not enough to move his mind."

He Tengjiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "I have Brother Zhang, just like a tiger with wings, which is not very lucky!"

He turned around, waved through the curtain of the car to call his personal soldiers, and said, "Enter me quickly to the city gate. I will go to the door to greet Wu Yue Bo in person."

When they arrived at the city gate, the three of them first climbed to the city tower and looked carefully. The soldiers and horses under the city were clearly armored and there were no braids behind their heads. The genital general on the city tower bent down and said, "These people are indeed Hou Xuanyan. When the villain withdraws from Yuezhou, he has seen them. This is one of Hou Xuanyan's four camps of the Northern Expedition Army, Fengziying."

Hou Xuanyan was wet in the rain, rubbing the scabbard with his palms, and a hint of warmth came from the jade sword handle.

The city gate slowly opened, and several personal soldiers held umbrellas to escort the three adults out of the car. He Tengjiao, Zhang Kuang, and Fu Shangrui walked out of the city with a smile. The personal soldiers escorted them across the suspension bridge and shouted loudly: "Where is Wu Yue Bo? The Governor is welcome to you."

Hou Xuanyan waved his hand and signaled that Fengziying should not move. He and a dozen personal guards dismounted and walked forward together, with a kind smile on his face. He Tengjiao felt more at ease when he saw that he did not even bring his troops into the city, which shows his sincerity. Moreover, although internal struggles in the officialdom of the Southern Ming Dynasty were in the wind, there was no precedent for putting them into the war.

Hou Xuanyan looked ahead and asked in a low voice: "Who are these three He Tengjiao?"

Xia Wanchun leaned closer and said, "It must be the one in the middle."

Hou Xuanyan touched his nose and said, "There are still guards in Changsha City. This matter must be foolproof. I would rather kill the wrong one than let it go. After a while, a quick charge would cut off all the three people's heads."

The personal soldiers beside him quietly stretched their palms to their waists. Seeing that the distance was close enough, Hou Xuanyan shouted loudly: "Do it!" The personal guards dispersed, revealing enough spaces, and the cavalry behind them were scattered.

The galloping horses galloped behind him. Seeing the situation suddenly change, the personal soldiers around He Tengjiao hurriedly drew their swords to protect them in the middle. It was just the impact of the cavalry, but in fact a group of guards could resist it. The horse's hooves were raised like slaughtering grass. In the flash, the cavalry were already carrying three bloody heads in their hands, with a look of astonishment on their faces.

Feng's name is Ying, and he deserves his reputation.
