In Wenyuan Pavilion, the beast charcoal was burning red. Hou Xuanyan felt a little hot. He stood up and opened the window. On the turf outside the window, there were tender and green buds, and the spring breeze blew on the face made people feel refreshed.

The cabinet chief Liu Zhongzao sat upright in front of the case, and with the other two Grand Secretary Zhang Huangyan and Lu Zhenfei were both full of bitterness and revenge.

Liu Zhongzao sighed and said, "Duke of Yue, three governors have emerged in the southwest. It is obvious that our court does not take our court seriously. Ding Kuichu and Zhai Shili have no less than 200,000 troops, and the wolf soldiers of various chieftains in the southwest cannot be underestimated. The Hunan soldiers of Changsha Prefecture have been recruiting for only half a year. How can we quell the rebellion?"

After Liu Zhongzao finished speaking, he turned to Zhang Huangyan and said, "Mysteriously, you are talking. You are recruiting Xiangbing. You know the best."

Zhang Huangyan felt ashamed. Although the Hunan soldiers were recruited and trained by themselves, they were not very familiar with the operation. However, the counterattack in Changsha later made people shine, and they did not look like a new army. However, Zhang Huangyan was not confident in his heart when he was sent to Guangdong and Guangxi to take on the main role.

After all, Zhang Huangyan was the first general of the Hunan Army. When he saw Liu Zhongzao, he looked down on the Hunan Army, and he felt a little angry. However, he was the youngest and was able to enter the cabinet, which was all due to this great purge, which killed all the people in front of him. The cabinet was the most talked about placing scholars and talking about the generations, so Zhang Huangyan did not dare to offend Liu Zhongzao, and said ambiguously: "The Hunan Army is brave, but I don't know how it will behave this time."

When Liu Zhongzao heard this, he looked at him dissatisfiedly as if he hadn't said it.

Hou Xuanyan turned his back to the three great scholars and said loudly: "What else? Yangzhou and Jingxiang are all important places. They are all recruiting troops to go south, which is to play with fire. The Huotu Camp cannot move. Who knows that the Sanshun King in the mountains will not come out of the mountain. I have already transferred Wu Shengzhao to defend Ganzhou. As long as Ganzhou is in his hand, Guangdong and Guangxi will be pinched to their throats, which is not enough to worry. I heard that Yongli and Shaowu have met each other now and are having a lot of fun fighting." When he said this, Hou Xuanyan couldn't help laughing. These people are really weird. Before he sent troops, the two rebellions and separatist forces have been fought. It's so pleasant to be enemies with such people. It's hard to imagine that when these people were not independent in the past, they were all their teammates. Every time you think of Hou Xuanyan, you're very afraid.

Hou Xuanyan continued: "Besides, there are mountains and hills between Guangdong and Guangxi, and there are all mountain tombs. If the Jiangnan Zhejiang soldiers go, their strength will inevitably be greatly reduced. The Hunan soldiers are different. Their hometown is also a mountainous area, and the battle in Guangdong and Guangxi will not be affected so much."

Lu Zhenfei touched his beard and said, "That's it, isn't this a candidate for the head coach too much? Xia Wanchun is only seventeen years old and commanding the three armies to fight alone is always uneasy. It's better to send a veteran to go there to be foolproof."

Zhang Huangyan nodded, deeply agreed, and was eager to volunteer.

Hou Xuanyan immediately said, "It's okay, Xia Wanchun followed me to fight south and north, and there was no battle absent from Suzhou City. Which general in the court has a record as outstanding as him. I'll rest assured to let him go."

Zhang Huangyan's face turned red and he swallowed the words to his mouth. He lost to Hong Chengchou in Zhenjiang in the battle, which is still a concern for him. In terms of his achievements alone, he is indeed not as good as Xia Wanchun.

Liu Zhongzao sighed in his heart. If he really wins, Guangdong and Guangxi will definitely be firmly controlled by the young Duke in front of him like Huguang. Before the emperor was born, Wenyuan Pavilion is now the center of power in the world. Hou Xuanyan is the temporary regent, and three great scholars assisted him to handle the government affairs of the world. In this way, Xia Wanchun took charge and led the Hunan Army and Fengzi Camp to attack the two independent regimes of Guangdong and Guangxi, and sent the order from Wenyuan Pavilion.

Xia Wanchun led his troops from Changsha Prefecture, left Longhu Pass, and won three battles and three victories. In less than seven days, Zhai Shizui and his Gui soldiers surrounded Guilin City.

At the top of Guilin City, Zhai Shizuo looked at the soldiers and horses under the city and frowned. After the Hunan soldiers passed the Longhu Pass, he sent a message to Ding Kuichu for help. It had been seven days since the Yongli court had not moved at all. The so-called Minister of War Lu Daqi was so scared that he pretended to be sick. This was not the first time he pretended to be sick. When Emperor Chongzhen asked him to suppress bandits, he scared the old Donglin so much that he was bedridden for a month, watching Li Zicheng sweep across Henan.

Xia Wanchun looked at the sparse guards on the city tower and felt unbearable. If he was caught in Jinling, Zhai Shizu would probably not be able to escape death. Although Zhai Shizu refused to admit that Emperor Longwu and often made revolutions in Guangxi, in Xia Wanchun's eyes, this was a good official who was eager to the Ming Dynasty, at least he had integrity.

"Come on the pen and ink, I want to write a letter of persuasion to surrender, and you will shoot down the city."

Hong Yizhuo, who came with the army, has always been responsible for providing information from various places, so he has been following Xia Wanchun. After hearing this, he asked in confusion: "Guilin is just around the corner, what kind of letters of persuasion to surrender?"

A trace of unbearance flashed across Xia Wanchun's young face and said, "What the commander hates most is the forces like Zhai Shili who disrupt the Qing Dynasty behind us. If the city is broken by force, Lord Zhai will never have a way out."

Hong Yizhuo's eyes turned cold and said, "It's really a pleasure to die if such a person dies."

Xia Wanchun knew that he had made up his words and gave up writing a letter of persuasion to surrender. He waved his hand and ordered the flag to rush and thousands of horses to rush to Guilin.

Guilin City was soon submerged in the howling Xiang soldiers in the sky, like a small boat in the wind and rain.

Zhai Shili led the last personal soldiers, fought and retreated, and retreated to the yamen. Outside the door, the light was shining in his eyes, waiting to catch the powerful soldiers they were asking for credit. The Hunan Army Camp had clear rewards and punishments, and the reward was extremely generous. If he could get the opponent's commander, he could reach the sky in one step and climb up the sky.

Zhai Shizui sat dejectedly in the hall, picked up his pen and wrote a desperate poem, and was lifted up by the Hunan soldiers who rushed to the front and called him to the commander-in-chief of the Central Army.

Waiting for death calmly and the city was destroyed, loyal ministers throughout the ages decided to do so. For three hundred years, their heads still have fragrance all over the sky.

....

As for Zhu Rongfan, a royal family member of Kuizhou, a descendant of the Chu King, who was the king of Chu, Hou Xuanyan directly ordered the Sichuan Governor Ma Gan to send troops to wipe out.

The combat effectiveness of Sichuan soldiers under the command of Sichuan Governor Ma Gan should not be underestimated. They took Chongqing back from Zhang Xianzhong and repeatedly threatened Chengdu. However, in the hearts of these Sichuan generals, driving Zhang Xianzhong out was the top priority.

Zhang Xianzhong is now fighting with Obai in Hanzhong. Hou Xuanyan ordered several times to let Ma Gan control his subordinates and not to sneak attack Chengdu at this time.

Ma Gan was dismissed by the slander of the city. Zhu Rongfan, who was on the surface, sent troops to suppress Linjiang, Kuizhou, but in fact he secretly returned and sent his general Zeng Ying to lead his troops to attack Chengdu. He joined the counties and counties around Chengdu Prefecture. It took only two days for the troops to reach the city of Chengdu. Before leaving, Zhang Xianzhong left Zhang Wenzhong to defend the city, and leaned on the solid Chengdu Prefecture to barely resist the attack of the powerful general Zeng Ying day and night.

The road to Shu is as difficult as the sky. The relatively closed news has been taken care of by Hou Xuanyan and the ministers in the court, and they have never observed the abnormalities in Sichuan.

Zhu Rongfan took this opportunity to recruit soldiers and horses in the war-torn Chuangui, and his wings gradually became fuller.

In this way, the forces from Zhang Xianzhong, Ma Gan, Zhu Rongfan and Oboi fought in Sichuan.
