Two hundred and eleventh chapters
In front of the front line, everyone was silent in the tent of the central army.
Hou Xuanyan's face turned scarlet like blood, his hair was standing upright with breath, and his hands holding the sword were trembling.
"The three Guizhou Censor, the governor, and the commander-in-chief were all robbed in Guizhou. It was a huge joke!"
The person who came to report the letter and apologize was the general of Guiyang Prefecture, Pi Xiong. Pi Xiong was originally from Tongren Prefecture, Guizhou. He was previously adopted by Luo's family and changed his name to Luo Lianfang. Later, he became the general of the Prefecture and restored his original name.
This was also a loyal and fierce man. Later, he was captured by Wu Sangui and refused to surrender and died of hunger strike.
After hearing Hou Xuanyan's roar, Pi Xiong gritted his teeth and defended himself: "The roads in Sichuan and Guizhou are difficult to move forward. If you want to enter Chongqing, you must go through Zunyi. Wang Xiang's troops were extremely vicious, and the Guizhou Prefecture's soldiers were weak, so they were not their opponents at all. I originally thought that they would not dare to take action because of the great reputation of Duke Yue. Who knew that these thieves would dare to take action even from the food and grass of the imperial army."
Hou Xuanyan snorted coldly: "So, if the food is lost, I will blame the reputation of this governor for not being famous?"
Pi Xiong hurriedly said, "I dare not. I just asked the Duke to understand the people of Guizhou and launch a large army to punish Wang Xiang early, which can be regarded as removing a harm for Guizhou."
Hou Xuanyan sneered: "Wang Xiang is harming Guizhou, you should transport my food to his mouth. You might as well use a knife to kill people, right?"
Pi Xiong was so scared that she was sweating heavily. Shan Qi knelt on the ground and cursed: "Duke, the three lords and the generals had great courage and did not dare to do such things. In fact, Zunyi is the only way to enter Chongqing Prefecture."
Hou Xuanyan thought about it carefully and found that Guizhou Sansi was indeed not as sarcastic as a person, but this incident still annoyed him.
Originally, Wu Sangui and Obai could not supply food and grass, so after eating and snatching it, they could not fight with him for a long time. Now, 130,000 people are on the front line, and one day they are out of food will be a disaster.
Now that things have come to this point, we have to wait until after the war, and the food problem must be solved first.
Hou Xuanyan walked in the tent, walked to Xia Wanchun, and whispered: "Brother Duan, it is impossible to fight to the decisive battle now. Even if we transport grain from Huguang again, it will be too late. You will be here for me, and I will divide my troops and destroy Wang Xiang and take back the grain."
Xia Wanchun said with a worried look on his face and said, "Mr. Governor, I'm afraid they will run away and I can't chase you."
Hou Xuanyan sighed. He had always used the greatest malice to speculate on his Nanming teammates. But he still didn't expect that he would be so missed.
"There is nothing to do. If Wu Sangui runs away, he will be able to recapture the entire Chongqing Prefecture."
Xia Wanchun nodded and asked, "General, how many soldiers will be brought with him?"
"I will bring 30,000 Hunan soldiers to eradicate these dogs and things. You will leave 100,000 to stalemate with Wu Sangui. The food and grass we brought with us can last for ten days. You can keep it for me. In ten days, I will take back the food."
Xia Wanchun hesitated and said, "The commander-in-chief, 30,000 is too small. How about the division of 70,000 troops to go?"
"They are just the ability to kill the people. This time I will crush them one by one, peel them up and fill them with weeds."
Xia Wanchun looked at Hou Xuanyan with a terrifying expression and knew that he was so angry that he was moved this time. Since Taihu Lake in Suzhou, Nanzheng and Beizhan have been by his side. He had never seen Hou Xuanyan in this state.
The Pi Xiong in the big tent listened to their conversation and knew that Hou Xuanyan would send troops this time and might be able to regain food. Otherwise, their sins would be great.
Hou Xuanyan looked at him and said, "Military information is urgent, so it's not too late. General Pi, lead the way to Zunyi Mansion and meet Wang Xiang for a while."
Pi Xiong stood up, Hou Xuanyan gave an order, and his personal soldiers went to pass the order. The 30,000 troops in the rear turned around and marched south with Pi Xiong quickly to Zunyi Prefecture.
Wang Xiang of Zunyi Prefecture looked at the piles of food, his heart shook.
Wang Xiang quickly decided to take the risk. As long as he had this food, he would be afraid that he would not be able to recruit enough soldiers in Sichuan, which was hungry.
But he didn't expect that Hou Xuan's performance was much faster than he expected. The food all over the mountains had not been fully transported into Zunyi Prefecture, and the 30,000 troops were already at the city.
Wang Xiang quickly took back his troops outside, concentrated all his strength in Zunyi Mansion, stood on the city tower and looked down.
Wang Mingchen looked at the people under the city, his eyes rolled, and he said, "General, they only have this little man and there is nothing to be afraid of."
Wang Xiang nodded and said, "Hey, this kid is fighting with Wu Sangui in front. If I rob his food, what can he do to me? If I force me to be anxious, I will surrender to the Qing Dynasty and attack him with the Braids Army. I see if he is still powerful."
Wang Mingchen took the big thumb and exclaimed: "The general is really a clever plan and has no choice but to do it. We will destroy this team first, and then go to Sichuan to recruit soldiers and horses. I think the general's skills are all done by the emperor."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the opposite formation spread out, and only a few black tubes were seen facing the city tower from afar.
Wang Xiang had been a general, so he naturally knew what it was. His face changed and shouted: "Everyone is falling down, they are going to fire a fire."
Several artillery aimed at the city gate of Zunyi. The small walls of Zunyi City were short and the city gate was disrepaired. After Wang Xiang occupied it, he only focused on enjoying the murder, but he did not expect to defend the city. After a round of volleys, the city wall was already full of holes.
With a roar, as a shell hit the city gate, wood chips flew. The gate of Zunyi was opened, Hou Xuanyan rode on the horse, straightened his waist, and waved his hand. The flag beside him was waving, and the horn sounded in vain, lingering in the western part of Guizhou.
Thirty thousand Hunan soldiers rushed like a city, and the defenders on the city realized that they were unable to resist this group of people, not as many as their own soldiers. Because they were not opponents at the same level, all the middle and lower-level officers were scattered soldiers and rascals who fled. The lower-level soldiers were all strong men captured on the spot, and they had a deep hatred with Wang Xiang.
On the city tower, Wang Xiang shouted at the top of his lungs. As a general of the Ming Dynasty, he had seen too many defeats. But it was the first time he had seen him so quickly.
His hard-core confidant Wang Mingchen looked at Wang Xiang who was in a mad state before him, and his eyes were winked.
Wang Xiang turned his head and saw Wang Mingchen looking at him with a bad look. No matter how he looked, he looked like a weasel looking at a chicken.
"Son of Turtle, why are you staring at me? Kill me."
Wang Mingchen, who has always flattered himself, said incisively: "General, you are about to die anyway. I will serve you for so long. I will use your life to give my brother a way out."
