In Jingzhou City, Du Yinxi stood on the city tower and had not closed his eyes for three days and three nights.

Several important generals in Zhongzhen Camp around him were all the rebel generals who swept across the Central Plains. After Li Zicheng's death, these people tried to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Who knew that He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, made things difficult for them and called them "Xiangma".

Moreover, He Tengjiao boasted that it was his own attack that forced Li Zicheng to die in the hands of the militia. He wrote a book "The Memorial on Rebellion and Death of the Death" and took Li Zicheng's death on himself. As a result, everyone in the remnants of the Dashun Army was angry. Senior generals such as Li Jin and Ma Jinzhong even thought about surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. However, the Qing Dynasty insisted on their heads shaving, which cut off their idea of ​​surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. At this time, the Han people paid attention to their parents' bodies and shaving their heads was a great insult. Except for gentlemen such as Qian Qianyi who could feel at ease, it was difficult for others to agree to shave their heads.

At this critical moment, Du Yinxi, the governor of Huguang, showed the foresight and excellence of a country's important minister. He actively recruited 200,000 Dashun troops, formed a loyal camp, and restored Jingzhou.

It’s a pity that when shameless literati write this history, they often boast about He Tengjiao and belittle Du Yinxi.

Du Yinxi, standing at the top of the city, looked at the thousands of troops under the city, attacking Jingzhou City day and night. Du Yinxi, in his forties, was at the age of strong and strong, but his temples were already white. His parents died at the age of eleven, and he lived a life of living under others. Later, he won the first place and became the prefect of Changsha. During his tenure, he repeatedly wiped out the thieves who had been in chaos for many years and became famous.

About him, Li Zicheng's nephew Li Jin, Li Jin, did not have the tyrannical spirit of his uncle. This honest young man is more like his father, the old farmer in Qin who has been peaceful all his life.

Du Yinxi said in a narrow voice: "These Qing soldiers and ants gathered together, and they will inevitably attack one after another. Our soldiers must make good defense changes."

Li Jin nodded and said, "I'm afraid that they will besieged the city for a long time and Jingzhou will have insufficient food reserves."

A general walked past him, carrying half-damaged helmet, his face covered in blood. Li Jin looked worried and asked, "Yuan Zongdi, are you injured?"

Yuan Zongdi was Li Zicheng's powerful general. He didn't care about his injuries and said loudly: "The Qing army is powerful and Jingzhou City is in danger. We need to make plans early."

Du Yinxi's face changed and he said, "It is necessary to do something, how can you give up easily?"

Yuan Zong was the most rude man, and he opened his mouth when he had something to do. He shouted, "We have been trapped in Jingzhou for a month. From the time we captured Jingzhou, we said there were reinforcements. Until now, we have not even seen any reinforcements. If we continue to fight like this, our brothers will be buried here." As soon as he finished speaking, a shell hit the city tower, and the soldiers hurriedly protected them. Yuan Zong pushed the personal soldiers away, spit out the soil in his mouth, and cursed: "Damn Tartars, Governor Block, what do you think we should defend Jingzhou?"

Du Yinxi sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that He Tengjiao was so ignorant. At this time, they were trapped in Jingzhou City and knew nothing about the news outside. They didn't know that He Tengjiao had been killed, and the person who killed him was leading an army of 100,000 and was about to reach the periphery of Jingzhou.

"Please wait for a few more days. If you give up Jingzhou, it will be extremely difficult to fight back."

Li Jin, who was on the side of the street, suddenly his pupils tightened and he stammered: "Get back! Go back!"

Everyone chopped down the city, but the Qing soldiers slowly retreated, and a burst of cheers broke out from the city tower.

Yuan Zongdi smiled and said, "Can the Qing soldiers not be able to fight again?"

Du Yinxi's face was excited and shook his head and said, "The Qing soldiers gathered together. Reinforcements must have arrived. They dare not disperse all over the city to attack the city. It seems that many reinforcements have come this time, haha!"

Outside Jingzhou City, Hou Xuanyan dragged his tired body and finally arrived at Shatou City. There were not many defenders in Shatou City, and the large troops were besieging Jingzhou, and they did not dare to withdraw their troops to support him in a hurry. Hou Xuanyan took less than half a day to attack Shatou City. Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were like maggots along the way, and did not fight with him, but he stared at himself. Did he come up and take a bite? The two sides fought nearly a hundred times, and each time Kong Youde withdrew his troops.

Xia Wanchunping spread out a map and pointed to it and said, "In the past, this place was Jingzhou. There may be a large number of Qing soldiers in front of us, so we have to be careful."

Hou Xuanyan lay halfway on the ground and said, "It's okay. Jingzhou has many soldiers and horses, and Du Yinxi is not a fool. The Qing soldiers besieged Jingzhou, and the troops will inevitably be dispersed. If they dare to turn around and attack us and leave their backs to Du Yinxi, it would be a way to die."

Xia Wanchun's face was still worried and said, "Kong Youde's behavior along the way was too weird. Is it a ill-hearted intention? Is there any evil trick to deal with us?"

Hou Xuanyan shook his head and said, "What is most afraid of intrigues in the world is the glorious power and no holes to enter. Our character "Huo Ying Feng Ying" does not mess up the situation. No matter what conspiracy and poisonous plan he has, it has no effect in the face of absolute strength."

Only then did Li Haoxian show his strengths. Everyone was tired of fighting every battle, but Li Haoxian, who was leading every battle, was full of energy and was not tired at all. He held a strip of cloth torn from somewhere in his hand, wiped the spear, and said, "General, Jingzhou is ahead, we have 300,000 troops. Who can't we fight with? Finally, we don't have to be chased and beaten. These days are so frustrating."

Xia Wanchun said: "Although we have many people, it's a pity that most of the cities between Jingxiang are in the hands of the Qing soldiers. They can defend the city, and it's not that easy to capture Jingxiang."

Hou Xuanyan stared at the map and pondered for a moment: "Jingxiang is not as important as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the gains and losses of one city and one place are not important. The victory and defeat here depend on the big battle. Qing dogs were separated by us. Jin Shenghuan from Jiangxi was already in a turtle in the jar and completely cut off contact with the Qing court in the north. What was anxious was that they could not afford to drag in Jingxiang, and they would not defend the city."

Xia Wanchun's eyes were very clear and he said in a calm voice: "Then we may have a decisive battle with the Qing soldiers in the near future!"
