To the south of Jingzhou, on the ground that stretches for hundreds of miles across the ground, the crowds were like waves. Under the miserable sky, hundreds of thousands of troops lined up to retreat south. The 200,000 troops of Zhongzhen Camp were originally Li Chuang's Dashun Army. These people were a group of bandits and bandits ten years ago, but they fought for more than ten years and formed an army of troops. Two hundred thousand people, the horse and infantry each accounted for half. Under the leadership of Du Yinxi and Li Jin, they headed south in an orderly manner.

Behind them, the Fire Camp, wearing black helmets and red tassels and black armor, looked like a torrent from a high place. The middle and lower-level generals of the Fire Camp did not know the intention of a decisive battle in Changsha. They were in aroused their fighting spirit and wanted them to retreat. Especially in the Jingzhou defense line, they suffered a lot of losses and were almost defeated by the Qing soldiers several times. Although it was not a serious battle, they hated each other.

The Qing soldiers who often invaded on weekdays did not dare to take action at this time. The Ming army, which was spread across the entire Jingzhou defense line in the past, had already gathered together. At this time, it was a suicide attack.

Wu Sangui, who was across the river, was ecstatic after receiving the news and sent someone to report Haoge and Ajige.

Haoge and Ajige were both princes of the Qing Dynasty, and they had deep hatreds between them. Although Haoge was one generation apart from Ajige, they were princes. Ajige was not promoted to Prince. Therefore, the two of them were not subordinate to each other and did not fight in joint operations on weekdays. Wu Sangui, who was sandwiched in the middle, dared not offend anyone. When they encountered any problems, they would ask for instructions at the same time and would never leave a family.

Although Haoge and Ajige fought internally, they always had the severity of this problem. The two decided to cross the river to pursue. No matter why the Ming army on the other side gave up the Jingzhou defense line, they did not intend to miss this opportunity.

In this way, Hou Xuanyan was in a position of fear that the Qing soldiers would not pursue him, so he began to send troops to guard the cities and occupy counties. In that case, his plan would be empty. Not only did he hand over Jingzhou, but he also had the initiative to fight the enemy to the decisive battle.

The men and horses under Wu Sangui came first across the river. They once had a name: Guanning Iron Cavalry.

The 200,000 rebels in the Zhongzhen Camp are mortal enemies of this group of people.

In order to raise Liao gulf, the Ming Dynasty sent it to Guanning Iron Cavalry, so it desperately collected taxes. Shaanxi, which had natural disasters and man-made disasters, couldn't stand this, and all the rebels were everywhere. The one who caused the most trouble was Li Zicheng's Dashun Army.

Every time the imperial court was ruined by the thieves in Shaanxi, it would call the Guanning Army into the pass to suppress the bandits. Almost every general of the Guanning Army was stained with the blood of these rebel bandits.

Later, when Li Zicheng entered Beijing, the Guanning army, led by Wu Sangui, decided to surrender first. Later, Wu Sangui suddenly turned against each other and fought against Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin in Yishi. He even opened Shanhaiguan and let Manchu Jiannu enter the pass. Only then did Li Zicheng lead his troops south to flee. The people in Zhongzhen Camp were all fled with Li Zicheng at that time.

Wu Sangui never took these people seriously. In his opinion, these people had another problem of soft bones and decided to escape further south. After his troops crossed the river, they quickly chased after Wu Sangui's troops. The main force was the Han Eight Banners and the Green Camp Han soldiers, including 50,000 of them, which were his own direct line and the elite Guanning Iron Cavalry. After crossing the river, Wu Sangui looked at the remaining traces of the Ming army on the Jingzhou defense line, and sneered on his fair face.

The general under his command said, "Prince, I see these people retreating strangely. Why don't we follow them south and occupy cities along the way and report them to the court?"

Although the world-famous traitor Wu Sangui grew up in the frigid Liaodong, he looked like a scholar in Jiangnan. Wu Sangui, who became famous at a young age, stayed in Beijing for a short time. In the upper society circle, he had legendary experience and elegant temperament almost caused a sensation. The famous princes and grand ministers and even literati and scholars were proud to know him. His rude and elegant temperament made Wu Meicun, a great poet who was famous in the capital, very fascinated, leaving him with the phrase "the youngest person in white and open-minded".

Such people are often extremely conceited, and Wu Sangui is no exception.

He looked at the talker of the green camp generals with contempt and said, "That is the ability of you people, not the means of me, Wu Sangui. What is the difference between living by picking up things left by others and beggars? Hou Xuanyan was very guilty and repeatedly killed my Qing royal family. He didn't take the opportunity to catch up and capture this thief alive. He still had to be greedy for this little achievement and divide his troops to occupy the city?"

The direct military generals around him burst into laughter. The general of the Green Camp looked ashamed, nodded and kept accusing him.

Wu Sangui was even more proud, with two cheerful eyebrows and a straight nose that raised the heroic spirit. He waved his hand and said, "Chasing me, capture Hou Xuan's acting alive, and a bounty of ten thousand taels."

Wu Sangui's soldiers were ready to go, and everyone wanted to get this bounty. They knew that Wu Sangui had always kept his promise and had a lot of money to pay. At this time, a soldier, holding a piece of white cloth in his hand, came to the generals with a strange expression on his face.

"Prince, in the big tent in front... I found a white cloth, and the contents drawn on it were very disrespectful to the prince."

Wu Sangui's face darkened and he said, "What is it?"

The soldier suddenly knelt down and said, "The villain dares not say it."

Wu Sangui kicked him down with one kick and said angrily: "Expand!"

The soldier slowly spread the white cloth with his hands trembling, and saw a young woman with hairpins and hairs drawn on it, Luo Shang half-clear. Several men beside her smiled with despicable smiles on her face. In the painting, the names were written on the top of the men's heads. There were Zou Shu, Gong Ruofu, Mao Xiang, Tian Hongyu, and Liu Zongmin.

Wu Sangui was so angry that he saw that he was angry. It turned out that these people were his former masters or mistresses of his concubine Chen Yuanyuan.

Looking below, there is a line of poems with crooked handwriting and rhymes that are not very good at the same time. It looks like a limerick poem. It says: Talking about the ancients and the present heroes, I say Sangui is the most kind. The switch forgets the kindness of the king and father, and the waters of Qinhuai are fragrant and surging. I don’t know who picks the round and fallen red in the Pear Garden in Suzhou. What’s the point of being angry when you are angry? The lady of the courtesan is with a rice bucket.

The signature is written with a line of small words: I yearn for Hou Xuanyan.
