"Cannon Zhu... No, Prince, Kangxi is coming, Kangxi is coming to Jiangxi!"
"Your Highness, Emperor Xuan Ye of the Qing Dynasty led thirty-eight thousand bannermen to Jiangxi. He also sent Geng Zhaozhong, the third brother of King Jingnan, to suddenly enter the Jingfan camp, launch a military coup, and arrest Jingnan in the name of Jingfan going crazy. King, seized the power of Jing Fan..."
Kneeling in the third hall of Zhongshu Lingxingyuan in Ganzhou City, it was Geng Jingzhong's military advisor Zuo Chunqiu and Lu Renyi who followed Zuo Chunqiu and became a candidate magistrate on Geng Jingzhong's side to report loudly to Zhu Heji. He was the leader of the Chaozhou Prefecture who was very kind and righteous when he was in prison.
These two people were also in Anren County when Geng Jingzhong was "crazy and arrested". Among them, Zuo Chunqiu was also taken to kowtow to the fake Kangxi.
But Geng Zhaozhong, who finally got what he wanted, didn't recognize Zuo Chunqiu, the crow's mouth. So after coming out of the fake Kangxi place, Zuo Chunqiu immediately approached Lu Renyi and asked him to prepare horses and guides, and then fled overnight!
Of course, there were a lot of people sneaking away that night!
The composition of Geng Jingzhong's group of men is a bit complicated. Only a small part are close to the Geng family, and the rest have some wrong origins. For example, Zhao Desheng was a member of Wu Sangui, and Ma Weixing was one of the Three Horsemen of the Southern Ming Dynasty. He also defected to Wu Sangui at first, and was later transferred to serve under Geng Jimao by the Qing court... These guys were just recruited by the fake Kangxi who suddenly arrived. The "tens of thousands of Eight Banners" were intimidated, and it was impossible to even think about asking them to change their past.
Moreover, this group of people must either run away on their own, or send their confidants to report the news to the bosses behind the scenes.
In short, the night roads in Anren County and Guixi County were very busy that night!
Although Zuo Chunqiu already knew that Liu Jinzhong betrayed Geng Jingzhong, he also knew that it was impossible for Liu Jinzhong to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty. The reason why this person wants to sell Geng Jingzhong must be the intention of the boss behind the scenes.
And Liu Jinzhong’s backstage boss is either Wu Sangui or Zhu Heji, maybe both!
So Zuo Chunqiu, who had left Anren County, immediately went straight to Ganzhou Prefecture with Lu Renyi. It only took two days to pass through the territory of Fuzhou Prefecture and enter Xingguo County of Ganzhou Prefecture, which had been taken over by the Ming Dynasty.
After arriving in Xingguo County, Zuo Chunqiu and Lu Renyi were intercepted by Liu Jinzhong's cavalry stationed in Xingguo County. After asking about their purpose, they were immediately taken to the capital of Ganzhou to meet Zhu Heji.
"Kangxi came to Jiangxi?"
Zhu Heji was also greatly surprised after listening to Zuo Chunqiu and Lu Renyi's reports.
He originally thought that Kangxi would send Tu Hai and Jieshu to lead troops to Jiangxi to fight Geng Jingzhong... He was already ready to take action at the critical moment!
But I didn't expect Kangxi to take action himself! Moreover, Kangxi acted vigorously and resolutely as soon as he took action. Taking advantage of the moment when Geng Jingzhong had not officially raised the rebel flag, he used the Eight Banners soldiers to intimidate him, and then used Geng Zhaozhong to launch a military coup, and captured Geng Jingzhong in one fell swoop.
The layout that he and Yang Qilong had been working on for so long was ruined by Kangxi!
Oh, it's not completely broken. Zhu Hexin said: "If Kangxi really led tens of thousands of Eight Banners troops to Jiangxi, the number of troops on the Jianghan battlefield would be much reduced. Moreover, Shi Lang's navy had to help Kangxi transport troops, so they would also leave Wuchang and Hanyang. Without Shi Lang's navy and tens of thousands of land troops, the Qing army would be extremely passive on the Jianghan battlefield."
"Your Majesty, send troops quickly!"
Zuo Chunqiu saw that Zhu Heji was still in a daze and said hurriedly: "After Xuan Ye captured the Geng Family Army, he also wanted to use the Geng Family Army as the leader and personally lead the army through Nanchang, Linjiang, and Yuanzhou, and directly attack Chaling Pass... ...He wants to invade Hunan and steal Wu Sangui's retreat!"
"What?"
"really?"
"How can it be?"
Now Zhu Heji, Liu Jinzhong, and Yang Qilong were all shocked.
"You can't be wrong!" Zuo Chunqiu said, "I heard what Xuan Ye said with my own ears... and I feel that if Xuan Ye wants to reverse the decline in the Huguang battlefield, he can only resort to dangerous tactics. If he Now we have to return to Dangyang, but before his troops arrive, Wu Sangui has already defeated the tens of thousands of Qing troops led by Zhuo Butai."
Zhu Heji also knew that Wu Sangui was fighting the Qing army in Dangyang, but he didn't know the specific situation, so he asked: "Military Zuo, as far as you know, what is the situation there in Dangyang?"
Zuo Chunqiu said: "Reporting to the prince, Wu Sangui gathered all the elites in Dangyang area, and designed to surround Dong E's 20,000 people, and then used the 20,000 people to fish out Zhuo Butai's 50,000 to 60,000 people. ..... Hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides are now fighting in the Dangyang area! Although Wu Sangui has the upper hand, if Xuan Ye leads tens of thousands of troops into Hunan, Wu Sangui may have no choice but to withdraw from Jiangbei.
As soon as he withdraws, the Wu family army will decline! Moreover, Wu Sangui is already sixty-one years old. If he loses this time, he may lose his ambition! By then the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty will be severely damaged! "
Having said this, Zuo Chunqiu suddenly bowed to Zhu Heji, with tears in his eyes: "Master, you don't have to think about Wu Sangui, but please look at the people who died in the Qing Dynasty in Beizhili, Shandong, Shanxi and Henan." For the sake of the millions of people who have suffered from the cruel laws and tyranny of the Tartar butcher's knife and the encirclement of land, occupying houses, and fleeing people... we must hold back Xuan Ye, but we must not let him enter Hunan!"
Zhu Heji knew from the Zuo Military Advisor's accent that he was from somewhere in Beizhili. It is estimated that the family was also massacred by the Qing Tatars... a blood feud! valley
Thinking of this, he sneered: "Delay? Is the Gu family sending troops just to delay Xuan Ye?"
"Master Shizi, you..."
Zhu Heji stood up suddenly, with excitement on his face, and said loudly: "The Gu family... we want to capture this Kang Mazi alive and avenge the hundreds of millions of Han people who died at the hands of the Qing Dynasty!"
As soon as his words came out, Yang Qilong and Liu Jinzhong were shocked.
Now Zhu Heji only has more than 10,000 people in Army No. 1 Town, and Liu Jinzhong can still send thousands more troops.
And in Kangxi's hands, plus the army that originally belonged to Geng Jingzhong, there were at least 60,000 people!
Ten thousand to several thousand versus sixty thousand... one versus four doesn't seem very certain!
Zhu Heji, however, was full of confidence, "Kang Mazi really has a road to heaven and he won't take it. There is no way to hell and he has to come. Now that he is here, Jiangxi will be his death!"
"Beat the drum, gather the generals!"
Zhu Heji loudly said again, "I'm sending orders to all the ministries. Xuan Ye has come to Jiangxi, so I want to capture Kangxi and destroy the Qing captives!"
"I have an order... to capture Kangxi and destroy the Qing captives!"
The messengers from the First Town of the Jinyi Pro-Army Army who were guarding the door all raised their arms and shouted!
...
"Long live Long live Long live......"
Dangyang, fifteen miles east of Xianglu Mountain, the Qing army's camp suddenly burst into earth-shaking cheers.
The cheers were so loud that they reached the Wu Army camp ten miles away and disturbed President Wu's dream.
The president was still laughing in his sleep when he heard someone shouting "Long live". He was laughing and talking in his sleep: "Wow haha... This yellow robe is so beautiful!"
It is estimated that the old man is wearing a yellow robe in his dream!
Then Wu Sangui felt a shaking, and he woke up after shaking.
When he woke up, he saw a round face of an old woman smiling at him. That was Chen Yuanyuan's face.
"What's wrong?" As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard the cheers of "Long live, long live". The cheers were not loud and seemed to come from far away.
"Qinglu is shouting long live in the mountains?"
Wu Sangui sat up suddenly, with a look of confusion on his face, "What's going on? They have been defeated for so many days, why are they still yelling?"
"Father," Wu Yingqi's voice suddenly came from outside the tent, "Are you awake?"
Wu Sangui said loudly: "Wake up, come in!"
Then I saw the curtain of the big tent being lifted up, and Wu Yingqi, Wu Guogui, Xia Guoxiang, and Hu Zhuguo all came together.
The four people first saluted Wu Sangui, and then Wu Yingqi said: "Father, did you hear? Qingyao is shouting long live in the mountains!"
"I heard you!" Wu Sangui asked, "What's going on?"
Wu Guogui said: "Father, it seems that Kangxi came to Jingmen Prefecture."
"What?" Wu Sangui was stunned, "Did Kangxi come to die?"
