Xiaogan is a small town.

If Hanyang and Jingzhou were not surrounded and Xiangyang City was too far away from the front line, Hong Chengchou would definitely not have been stationed here.

At this moment, he was wandering in the inner courtyard of the government office, whispering, "He Tengjiao, it's really a waste, it's really a

If Zhai Zhe could hear him, he would definitely empathize with him.

However, it is also a strange story for a person to be scolded by the commanders of both the enemy and us at the same time.

"If you can't even control your own soldiers, how can you plot against Zhai Thief?"

The last sentence is so low that only Hong Chengchou can hear it clearly.

A few days ago, he made a major breakthrough in his plan in Huguang. After discovering that the Ming court General Zhai Zhe and the governor of Huguang Zhe were like fire, he established contact with He Tengjiao in time.

He was once the governor of the Ming Dynasty and was very familiar with the dispute over the government affairs of the Ming court.

"If Du Yinxi can stop attacking Jingzhou, he is willing to return Yuezhou Prefecture to He Tengjiao." This is the price he offered to He Tengjiao.

He Tengjiao urgently needs a victory, a great victory that can save his reputation.

In order to win a victory, He Tengjiao had to pay a defeat first. As long as he could charge Yuezhou Prefecture, of course no one would mention his defeat outside Yuezhou City again.

However, after He Tengjiao retreated from Yuezhou, the offensive of Zhongzhen Camp became even stronger.

"If so, will my kung fu be wasted?"

If Du Yinxi recovers Jingzhou, He Tengjiao's pretended defeat at Yuezhou City will become another evidence of his crime.

Zhang Kuang was in the barracks outside Jingzhou City, but he couldn't help Du Yinxi withdraw his troops.

The battle situation is no longer controlled by Du Yinxi alone. After Zhai Zhe paid so much money and food, his influence on Zhongzhen Camp is not much worse than that of Du Yinxi.

In the Jingzhou barracks, Zhang Kuang was very unpopular. He could not deliberately please the rebels in the Zhongzhen Camp, and Li Guo, Li Laiheng and others also ignored his existence.

After avoiding for two days, Liu Suifeng saw that Zhang Kuang had no intention of going back for the time being, and returned to his former activity in the military camp.

They were all literati who were above the top, and Liu Suifeng's most miserable experience became his wealth. All the troops in the Loyal Camp liked to get along with Liu Suifeng. If you are not careful, you will be rewarded by this general's special envoy.

The one who Liu Suifeng went to most was Li Guo’s barracks. Whenever the two of them talked about the days when they crossed mountains and ridges in Yunyang, Li Guo was melancholy and excited.

The King of Chuang is dead, life still needs to continue

If he is a little bit short of it, he will become a founding hero of Dashun, but now he is still a traitor. Sometimes, he will drink too much and think of so many cruel or kind companions, many people will no longer be alive.

The young Li Laiheng is Li Guo's adopted son and a rising star in Zhongzhen Camp.

He didn't have so many memories. Before being accepted as his adopted son by Li Guo, he was always a soldier fighting in the forefront. People would only want to forget those memories faster.

Once, Li Guo got drunk, and Li Laiheng asked Liu Suifeng for confirmation: "What is the difference between the general and the King of Chuang

For the past six months, the name of General Zhai Zhe has been ringing in his ears, and he almost got a calluse when he heard it. Before entering Beijing, King Chuang was like a god in his mind, and what happened afterwards was like a nightmare.

Liu Suifeng thought carefully about his words and said, "The General is the gentler King of Rebellion." A person's personality determines the path he is suitable for, and lets Zhai Zhe take the path of rebellion, which is probably not as determined as Li Zicheng.

"You will have a chance to meet the general." Liu Suifeng smiled mysteriously.

The veterans of Zhongzhen Camp have lost their aura under the command of the King of Chuang. After experiencing a moment of glory, Li Guo and others are obsessed with the fleeting glory like fireworks. Only this Li Laiheng is still full of Yu Jing, sooner or later, Zhongzhen Camp belongs to this young man.

Li Laiheng responded with a smile: "After conquering Jingzhou?"

"Maybe"

Zhang Kuang looked down on Zhongzhen Camp, but he was also jealous of Liu Suifeng's relationship with the leaders of Zhongzhen Camp.

After staying in the barracks under Jingzhou City for a month, Zhang Kuang basically understood the various situations in the barracks, and knew that Du Yinxi could no longer lead his troops to retreat to Changsha and chose to leave independently.

In the hot summer, the Ming army besieged Jingzhou City with the fire-like sun.

Rotten corpses are constantly throwing out in the city. In this temperature, the dead soldiers or people will turn into stinky corpses in one or two days. The Qing soldiers dare not leave the stinky corpses in the city, for fear of causing a plague.

Wen Linzhu urged twenty naval warships to arrive in Jingzhou and brought twenty iron cannons.

Du Yinxi was also in the city of Jingzhou, but compared with these twenty iron cannons, it was like a witch.

The largest iron cannons in Jiangnan were transported to Huguang.

The gunner commanded the civilians to build a position. In just half a day of bombardment, the gates on the east and west sides of Jingzhou City turned into hornet nests full of holes. The giant cannons hit the fortifications on the front of the city one by one, making Jingzhou City a repetition of the artillery shells in Hangzhou last year.

But Jingzhou City is not as strong as Hangzhou, and there is no heart of the people in the city that is in line with the morale of the army.

Liu Suifeng reported to Zhai Zhe that after more than three months of attack, Jingzhou City was not far away. In fact, last year, Zhongzhen Camp was one step away from breaking Jingzhou City, but the exhausted soldiers were sneak attacked by Qing soldiers.

In order to cooperate with the war in Jingzhou City, Zhai Zhe ordered the general Zuo Ruo to delay Luke Dehun's mobile troops at any cost, and ordered Fang Guoan to cooperate with Li Laiheng in Yuezhou Prefecture to prepare to block the Qing soldiers who might rescue Jingzhou.

The war in Huguang has reached the most critical stage. Zhai Zhe is willing to add glory to Luye and Du Yinxi and Zhongzhen Camp, but some people are unwilling to do so.

July 15th, Ghost Festival.

Li Guo organized an siege again. He saw the warriors in the army climbing to the top of Jingzhou city, fighting fiercely for about two quarters of a year, and died in a tragic battle at the top of the city.

The physical strength and will of the defenders in the city were on the verge of collapse.

Before it got dark, Zhongzhen Camp lit paper by the water to pay homage to his companions who died in battle. Zhang Kuang came late,

The more than 20 days when Zhang Kuang said goodbye and returned to Changsha was the easiest time for Du Yinxi. He had never concealed anything from He Tengjiao, but Zhang Kuang, who was wandering in the barracks like a ghost, made him smell an unusual smell.

It was a feeling that the crooked governor's chief seemed to be replacing He Tengjiao and monitoring him.

As soon as Zhang Kuang arrived at the barracks, he didn't have time to rest and immediately learned about the situation of the battle.

Du Yinxi, who has always been cautious, did not conceal his military information. He rarely boasted about his words and said: "Jingzhou City will be destroyed in ten days. If there are more soldiers waiting for the city to come, it is not impossible to break Jingzhou City."

"Is that true?" Zhang Kuang laughed far-fetchedly and said, "That's really a great contribution from Huguang, and it didn't let Zhai Zhe take it ahead."

"The general also made a contribution to the capture of Jingzhou." Du Yinxi said a truthful sentence.

Zhang Kuang turned his head and laughed, disagreed, reminding him: "However, when I came, I heard that a large number of Qing soldiers were gathering at Yuezhou Prefecture, so Lord Du should not be careless."

"So that's true?"

"You can send a scout to investigate"
