During the sixty-one years of Kangxi's reign, "The Third Prince Zhu" attacked him seventy times. It is not an exaggeration to call it a nightmare. There are too many large-scale and influential actions.

In the first year of Kangxi's reign, Prince Zhu San of northern Jiangsu revolted, which was the beginning of an uprising that would get out of hand from now on.

In the second year of Kangxi, Zhou Yu, a fisherman from Guangdong, rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and Prince Zhu San of Zhili revolted. After the failure, Prince Zhu San began to retreat to practice the magical power of incarnation and immortality.

In the twelfth year of Kangxi's reign, Yang Qilong launched an uprising in Beijing under the guise of Prince Zhu III;

In March of the 16th year of Kangxi's reign, "Prince Zhu San" appeared in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province. With a rally, Cai Yin led tens of thousands of "white-headed troops" to revolt;

In June of the same year, "The Third Prince Zhu" came to Henan Zhecheng to guide the local uprising work;

In August of the 18th year of Kangxi's reign, "Prince Zhu San" went to Wu Sangui again to add fuel to the fire, but was captured by Prince An Yue Le and brought back to Beijing to be killed;

In the same year, "The Third Prince Zhu" came back from the dead and was once again active in Hanzhong and Xing'an, Shaanxi;

In the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi's reign, the 70-year-old "Third Prince Zhu" and "Monk Jin" plotted to assassinate Kangxi during his southern tour in Taihu Lake. However, the incident failed, and "Third Prince Zhu" once again committed suicide;

In November of the 46th year of Kangxi's reign, the 80-year-old "Third Prince Zhu" practiced the magical power of incarnation, and at the same time he revolted in Taicang, Jiangsu and Simingshan, Zhejiang. The incident failed, and "Third Prince Zhu" died heroically; <

In the 60th year of Kangxi's reign, Zhu Yigui's uprising broke out in Taiwan. "The Third Prince Zhu" became stronger and stronger, and Shi Shiran appeared at the scene of the uprising.

In the seventh year of Yongzheng's reign, the "Third Prince Zhu", who had been resurrected several times, not only killed his old enemy Kangxi, but also refused to let go of his son and appeared in Guangdong again.

Until the early years of Qianlong's reign, "Third Prince Zhu" was still touring Zhejiang and Guangxi at the age of 100. However, because he was too old and unable to do what he wanted, "Third Prince Zhu" stopped causing trouble and finally let Qianlong go.

It can be said that the fictitious name and identity of "Third Prince Zhu" has become a standard feature of the anti-Qing uprising. If you don't raise the banner of Prince Zhu, you will be embarrassed to rebel.

Of course, people have not yet discovered the huge magic power contained in "Third Prince Zhu" and have not yet discovered the value of this title.

Also, Yongli had just died, the anti-Qing armed forces were in disarray, the anti-Qing movement was at a low ebb, and a new uprising had to wait for a more mature time.

Regarding Li Laiheng's analysis and judgment, Huang Li nodded repeatedly and agreed very much.

"Prince Zhu San is practicing in seclusion. He will not reappear until he has achieved great success. He will haunt and torture Kang Xiaosan for decades."

Huang Li couldn't help but reveal a slightly weird smile when he thought of this.

Li Laiheng observed Huang Li's expression. In his opinion, it was a sign of relief. Or maybe the fabricated lie concealed his relief.

However, Huang Li soon became worried about the bad situation. It was very difficult for various ministries to jointly fight, and it could even be said that there was no hope in a short time.

However, reinforcements from the Qing army will gather in Kuidong in two or three months. At that time, the room for maneuver will be even smaller, and the hope of turning defeat into victory will be even slimmer.

His eyes shifted to Yiling again. Huang Li thought for a while, raised his head and asked, "My lord, do you know what the specific situation is in Yiling City?"

Li Laiheng smiled lightly and said: "Yiling is known as the 'gateway to the Three Gorges' and the 'throat of Sichuan and Hubei'. The city has a circumference of 836 feet, a height of 2 feet and 2 feet, and 3,903 crenellations."

"The city wall is made of green bricks, filled with loess in the middle. There are moats dug on the north, south, east and south sides of the city wall. The moats are four feet to five feet wide and two feet deep. Water is diverted from the trenches to overflow. The southwest city wall is close to the river and is protected by the danger of the Yangtze River.

."

Based on all the treasures, it seems that Li Laiheng also attaches great importance to Yiling, and he should have conducted reconnaissance many times before. However, his strength is not enough, so it is difficult to attack and defeat it.

Huang Li pondered for a moment and then asked: "If we attack the city from the southeast and north, can the city be drained and the trenches filled? In addition, if the Duke of Guo leads the entire army to dispatch, can he defeat the Qing army in the field and make it shrink in the field?"

In the city?"

Li Laiheng thought for a while and said: "The Qing army in Huguang is not very powerful and has just returned from a major defeat. If our army deploys more than 20,000 troops, it should be able to make them afraid to fight."

Then, he added: "As for filling the trenches, since we are going to attack the city, that is the most basic preparation. It is just a matter of time and casualties."

Although Li Laiheng is the youngest commander among the thirteen, he is the strongest, with nearly 30,000 troops.

Because his adoptive father Li Guo was Li Zicheng's nephew and heir, the direct troops of the original Dashun Army were commanded by Li Guo.

After so many years, although the army has suffered relatively serious losses in many years of war, compared with other families, it is still the strongest.

"If this is the case, there is a way to break through the city wall within a few days. Although it is not foolproof, the success rate is still over 60%."

Huang Li looked at Li Laiheng expectantly and said sincerely: "If the Qing army in Huguang can be dealt a heavy blow again, I believe it will be difficult for the Qing army in the Huguang area to gather enough troops in a short time."

It seems that the Huguang Qing Army is the weakest among the three enemies. So there is no other way but to continue to grab and beat them hard until the Huguang Qing Army completely collapses.

"Huguang is rich and can obtain enough grain, supplies, and even soldiers to prepare for the final decisive battle with the Qing army. Moreover, when the Qing army gathers from all directions to besiege Kuidong, they will also have to transport grain from Huguang to recruit men."

The first thing to attack Huguang is to collect and seize grain and supplies, and the second thing is to destroy the grain collectors of the future Qing army. Needless to say too clearly, Li Laiheng naturally understood.

"If you are 60% sure, you should give it a try." Li Yue, who had not interrupted, had a hint of joy in his eyes.

At this critical juncture, let alone 60%, even 30% to 40%, it is absolutely necessary to try. If you win, the life and death crisis will be alleviated; if you lose, the original result will remain.

Li Laiheng's eyes flashed, and he returned to his calm and calm demeanor. He just smiled and said, "Mr. Huang has a wonderful way to break the city, so we can consider attacking Huguang."

Soon, his tone changed, his face became solemn, and he said slowly: "There are Qing troops in Shaanxi and Henan in the north. If our army attacks alone, it may be difficult for the entire army to launch. I will discuss this matter with the Duke of Anhui.

I hope he can contact various families and join forces to help fight again."

Winning chess without caring about family is the main reason why Li Laiheng did not dare to take risks. Although the terrain of Maolu Mountain is dangerous and densely forested, he still has to leave defensive troops.
