The 162nd chapter decisive battle of Jingxiang (2)
Zhang Wenxiu's face was unstable, and Zhang Xianzhong's temper was well known to everyone in the West.
However, Zhang Xianzhong's not wanting to be an emperor does not mean that his subordinates do not want to be a prince. Once Zhang Xianzhong abdicates and surrenders, they will naturally be demoted to level 7 or 8. Although Zhang Wenxiu has always wanted to emphasize that the two armies are an alliance to fight against the Qing Dynasty, Hou Xuan's speech and behavior have already agreed that they are recruiting.
Hou Xuanyan treated Zhang Wenxiu as a microphone and did not want to negotiate with him more. He just asked him to tell Zhang Xianzhong that if there was any war in the near future, he would let him attack Hanzhong. He would hold on to one and count on the other. Most of the Qing Dynasty's troops were in Jingxiang, and if he came again, he would really be unable to bear it.
It was getting late, and Hou Xuanyan laughed and left him to use supper in the tent, so he sent someone to send Zhang Wenxiu and his entourage to Jingzhou City. A pegasus came out of Jingzhou and returned to the CD like Zhang Xianzhong to ask for instructions and report.
Du Yinxi did not leave, and he still had a lot of words to say. Hou Xuanyan looked at his eagerness to speak and smiled and said, "Sir, it's still early. Why don't you go to bed and stay in my tent?"
Du Yinxi smiled bitterly and said, "Don't joke, the commander-in-chief, you have to give up Jingzhou, I can still sleep."
Hou Xuanyan stood up, walked to the sand table, picked up a wooden stick, pointed to the sand table and said, "Old Du, come and see. We are now in Jingzhou. Although there are constant small battles, if we want to fight decisively, one side must cross the river first. Jingxiang has been trapped in the enemy for a long time, and we all know that Wu Sangui can set up the Wuyue defense line, so how can Wu Sangui fail to move on the other side? If we fight on the other side, we will lose the advantage of the territory first. Furthermore, the fish and dragons on the other side have mixed together, and the loyal and righteous men have long escaped the southern case. The remaining are the honest people, and the remaining enemies are all traitors. Once they cross the river, they are enemies everywhere, especially Changsha Prefecture. My Hunan Army has been practicing for a few months, and these people are already familiar with the mountains, rivers and terrain here." Speaking of this, Hou Xuanyan poked Changsha Prefecture on the sand table hard and said, "We have all the advantages of the territory and people in this decisive battle!"
Du Yinxi's eyes were bright, and the torches burning in the tent made him shine. After hearing Hou Xuanyan's words, he fell into silence. Hou Xuanyan did not interrupt him and waited patiently. After a long time, Du Yinxi said, "General, if you lose, we will be like handing over the entire river and water. From then on, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Guangdong and Guangxi are in a smooth road. Who in the world can resist the Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty?"
Hou Xuanyan's face darkened and said, "What do you think this is? This is a decisive battle! Instead of being timid, constantly losing territory and falling into the people, it is better to fight to the death."
Du Yinxi was in a complicated mood, and hesitation filled his chest. This decisive battle was more like a big gamble. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Zhu Dadian has recovered Yangzhou, and we have also fought to Jingzhou. It is better to slowly plan it, perhaps more appropriate."
Hou Xuanyan sneered and said, "I'm always blocked, why don't I want to do it slowly? Unfortunately, time is not on our side. After the fall of the Central Plains, it has been nearly a year since the Qing Dynasty adopted the tactic of wining over. Many Han people have shaved their braids and are willing to drive them. Give them some time, and what we are going to face is ten Wu Sangui, twenty Wu Sangui, and even one hundred Wu Sanguis. If you are familiar with history books, you should know that whether it is the Mongol Yuan or the Later Jin Dynasty, the Han soldiers who can fight on the southern expedition are their soldiers."
Du Yinxi nodded. He knew that Hou Xuan's speech was right. When Kublai Khan fought against the Southern Song Dynasty, most of the Han people were Han people. Moreover, these people had very high combat power. Kublai Khan and Ali Buge competed for the Khan throne. Ali Buge controlled the army of Mongolian troops, but was defeated by the Han army, and had to surrender. You must know that the Mongolian army at that time swept across the country and fought to the continent. It was because Kublai Khan occupied Youyan and the Central Plains that he had this capital.
Now the Qing Dynasty has occupied these places. In time, it is not difficult to imagine that they will have such an army...
Snow fell outside the tent, and with the cold north wind, it blew into the tent. The guards came in to cover the torches in the tent and said to the two: "Master General, it's snowing outside, are you closing the door?"
Hou Xuan spoke: "It's okay."
The guard turned around and went out, Hou Xuanyan said to Du Yinxi: "I have decided, and the decisive battle will come soon."
Du Yinxi stared at the flash disk and made a difficult choice: "Chief, can you win?"
Hou Xuanyan said quietly: "When I was young, someone in our hometown told me this story. Someone wanted to cook a frog and put it in a pot of hot water. The frog jumped desperately and ran away. The man caught another frog, put it in cold water, and slowly heated it up. The frog was greedy for comfort and refused to fight hard, so he was slowly cooked.
Our Ming Dynasty is now that frog, and he will have a 50% chance of winning. If he doesn’t fight, he will be eaten up sooner or later.”
Du Yinxi became ferocious and kicked the sand table over with one kick, saying, "Battle! Fight it upside down, and make a new look of the sun and moon."
"Haha..." Hou Xuanyan looked at him and suddenly laughed out loud. The major affairs of family and country are more important than Mount Tai, and they cannot escape the vast way of heaven. He is passionate about speaking, but in fact, the inner truth is the same as a gambler's end of the road and betting on all his wealth.
Perhaps in the eyes of the high gods above the vast nine heavens, the great feats of themselves and others were just a few red-eyed gamblers.
Hou Xuanyan walked out of the tent and sent Du Yinxi out until his back disappeared into the camp.
Looking up at the dark sky, countless snowflakes fell from above. Hou Xuanyan cursed, "Down on your mother, the Qing Dynasty you arranged to enter the Central Plains, and I insisted on driving them out."
The guard next to him was trembling, one point was frozen, and nine points were scared.
