The next morning, Hou Xuanyan set out for Jingzhou, and the road was not peaceful. Now this place is mixed with fish and dragons, and a Qing army emerged at some point.

Hou Xuanyan took the opportunity to go to Yuezhou and inspected the Wuyue defense line along the way, and was basically satisfied. It can be seen that although Gu Yanwu and Zheng Zunqian were not on the main front, they were not idle during this period. On the road line, as long as it is easy to be broken through, there are various temporary fortifications built a few steps away.

The distribution of troops in the fortification is also very particular, basically the most reasonable combination. Hou Xuanyan nodded secretly, and Gu Yanwu was indeed a real person. In the army before the Song Dynasty, whether it was long spearmen, short swordsmen, everyone wore bows and arrows, and attacked from far and near. Since the Northern Song Dynasty, the division of troops in the army has been very clear, and each army specializes in its own weapons. They divide their labor and fight together, relying on battle formations and command.

After entering Yuezhou Prefecture, the smell of gunpowder here became much stronger, and patrolling soldiers could be seen everywhere. There were secret whistles a few miles away. They asked for three questions but didn't answer, and they directly shot arrows. The soil on the ground was mixed with blood in many places, and the smell of gunpowder was filled with smoke in the air.

Fengziying went to the city to rest and replenish the food and grass, without delay, and headed straight for Jingzhou. The further north, the more the atmosphere along the way became more tense, and sometimes you could hear the sound of fighting.

Outside Jingzhou City, a burly general stood on the outskirts of the city. Hou Xuanyan looked from a distance and knew that it was Li Haoxian going out of the city to welcome him. Seeing the Fengzi Camp flag, Li Haoxian laughed and said to the dozen knights behind him: "The commander-in-chief is finally back. Let's go and go and greet me."

Hou Xuanyan looked at Lee Ho-hyun and asked before he could greet him, "I have been away for so long, how many battles have I fought, and how many brothers have died?"

The smile on Li Haoxian's face dissipated, covered with a layer of haze, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Commander, there will be hundreds of battles of all sizes. These Qing soldiers are indeed different from the past. To be honest, we win less and lose more. Fortunately, the scale is not very large, and the total number of brothers who died and injured is about 10,000."

Hou Xuanyan nodded, grabbed the reins, and said casually: "What's the difference between these Qing soldiers? They are still a little short of Duoduo's white flag. It's just that it's a major battle, and it's just a real combat power. If Duoduo led his own troops and horses, we wouldn't be able to take advantage of it."

Li Haoxian looked ashamed and said, "It's good that you'll come back, brothers are waiting for you to take us to revenge."

Hou Xuanyan remained silent, looked at Jingzhou City, and then asked meaningfully, "Where is Du Yinxi?"

Li Haoxian blurted out: "Governor Du led the Zhongzhen Camp and stood on the front line. He had been fighting fiercely with Wu Sangui for three days."

Hou Xuanyan shook his horse whip and said, "Let's talk about it when you enter the city." Three hundred iron cavalry of the guards whizzed past, and the horse's hooves stepped on the suspension bridge in Jingzhou, making a loud noise.

Jingzhou became famous in later generations because of its Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Yu drew nine provinces, and Jingzhou was one of them. This is a real old city. The rivers in Jingzhou Prefecture are intertwined, with lakes densely populated, and there are nearly a hundred water systems. A Jingzhou city runs from east to west to south and has always been a must-fight place for military strategists.

Hou Xuanyan had just entered the city, and the smoke and dust outside the city covered the sky and the sound of horse hooves shook the earth slightly.

Li Haoxian roared, got off his horse and climbed up the city tower. Hou Xuanyan did not dare to be negligent and followed him to the city wall. A cavalry like a gust of wind from the north roared, and looked at the flags and armors, it should be undoubtedly the Qing soldiers.

Hou Xuanyan hurriedly said, "Close the city gate first."

The Qing soldiers under the city roared past, knowing that Jingzhou City was not something they could capture, and they were not nostalgic. The feathered arrows shot from the arrow tower on the city wall harvested the lives of these Qing soldiers like it was raining. The remaining Qing soldiers fled and were very likely to plunge into the ambush along the way.

Hou Xuanyan was stunned and asked, "What's going on?"

Li Haoxian smiled and said, "The General Manager doesn't know that these Qing soldiers are not subordinate to each other and do not have a map of Jingxiang. When they fight, they rush around like blind people. In addition, heavy fog often occurs in Jingzhou, and some Qing soldiers are not used to the heavy fog in the south, and they often run around when fighting. Last time, there was a Qing army that ran to our camp."

Hou Xuanyan's eyes lit up, and he remembered what he thought of last night. Jingzhou was full of water and water, and these Qing soldiers were ignorant of the geographical advantages. It seemed that it was necessary to write an article on this.

cd In the palace of the Daxi Army, Zhang Xianzhong crossed his legs and sat on the dragon chaise. His legs were injured, so his sitting posture was always very strange. He was cursing at this time.

At this time, only Zhang Kewang dared to persuade him in the entire Great Western Kingdom.

Zhang Kewang was Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son. Later, Zhang Xianzhong died and changed his surname back to his original surname. The famous traitor Sun Kewang was him.

Zhang Kewang was well-deserved in Zhang Xianzhong's court, and at least he was like this when Zhang Xianzhong was alive. He was brave and treacherous, calm and fickle, and was called "a wall" by the Daxi Army. After Zhang Xianzhong became emperor, Zhang Kewang was named General Pingdong and restrained civil and military personnel. He was named General Pingdong in Daxi Country, which shows the hope that Zhang Xianzhong has placed on him.

The reason why Zhang Xianzhong was angry was that he sent Liu Jinzhong, the general in Suining, Sichuan, to not obey his orders. Zhang Xianzhong asked him to stick to Suining, but Liu Jinzhong believed that Haoge's trip to Huguang was a good opportunity to advance to Hanzhong.

Who knew that after he sent troops, he was defeated by the Manchu general who was left in Hanzhong by Haoge, Guarjia and Oboi, and the generals were defeated. What made Zhang Xianzhong even more angry was that he had made repeated orders and refused to send troops, but Liu Jinzhong still sent troops.

Zhang Xianzhong cursed at the top of his voice, "Tell me an imperial edict. He said: We told you not to go to Hanzhong, you have to go to Hanzhong. Now you have broken many soldiers and horses and donkey balls into your mother's hair!" Zhang Kewang was about to persuade him, but when he said something, he didn't know what he thought of, his eyes were complicated, so he chose to remain silent.

This imperial edict was written in every word, and after it was written, it was sent to Suining.

A few days later, Liu Jinzhong held this inappropriate imperial edict and was frightened and led his troops to surrender to the Qing Dynasty overnight...

Zhang Xianzhong was shocked and suspicious when he heard the news. Liu Jinzhong, as the general who guarded the national gate for him, surrendered to the enemy. From then on, the Qing soldiers did not come as they wanted. No one was more competent in the guide than Liu Jinzhong.
