Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 350 Talking about Jin Shengheng

Luck Dehun had no choice. After all, the confidantes he brought into Jiangxi were only a few thousand Eight Banners soldiers who had been defeated on the Huguang battlefield, and their strength was far behind Wang Yan.

Conquests depend on the timing, location, and harmony of people. Luc Dehun knew that he had no time now, let alone any kind of harmony between people.

At this time, Luck Dehun could only work hard in terms of geographical advantages. The forward of the Ming army was sixty miles away from Ganzhou, and the cavalry could kill them in half a day. camp.

During the process of the Qing army's relocation, the vanguard cavalry of the Ming army appeared one after another in the north of Ganzhou, but they saw that the Qing soldiers were on guard and did not launch a surprise attack.

The next day, the camp of the Qing army had moved to the north of Ganzhou City, backed by the Ganshui River, and across the river from Ganzhou. back.

At this time, outside the Qing camp, a red line slowly appeared on the northern field, and the soldiers in the Qing camp began to make a slight commotion.

In Ming Shanghuo, the military uniforms and banners were all crimson. From a distance, they looked like red clouds billowing from the sky, which looked magnificent.

The [-] Ming army has gradually advanced into the sight of the Qing soldiers. The army is divided into five square formations, with [-] cavalry guards on each side.

The infantry of the Ming army all wore scarlet cloth face armor suitable for fighting in the south, and disc-shaped helmets on their heads. Some of them wore sabers at their waists, and they held long trousers, while others held a sharp spear in their hands. Shield, the team is uniform and murderous.

Numerous banners representing the camp number and various orders fluttered in the wind, fiery red like the morning glow, and among all the banners, the most eye-catching was undoubtedly the two-foot-tall flag with the sun and the moon embroidered on it , in the middle is a huge "Ming" character, and on the side is written a line of small characters "General Zhennan, General Town of Guangdong Province, King of Chu Kingdom of Ming Dynasty".

Under the banner of the Dazhu, there are Wang Yan, who is riding a pure black horse, wearing a golden lacquer mountain pattern, and a group of Ming army generals in heavy armor.

At this time, the generals looked at the Qing camp fighting against the water, and Liu Fangliang couldn't help sneering all his life, "Back to the water and go down to the stronghold? From the general's point of view, Luck Dehun is seeking his own death. Does he think he is Han Xin? Haha~"

All the generals of the Ming army laughed when they heard the words, Le Ke Dehun was defeated by Wang Yan many times, the generals under Wang Yan had long regarded him as a chicken and a dog, and they were very contemptuous in their hearts.

Seeing this, Wang Yan shook his head slightly. He didn't regard Le Ke Dehun as an opponent, but although he despised him in his heart, he still had to take it seriously in a real battle and pay attention to the opponent tactically.

At this time, he waved his hand back, stopped the generals behind him from continuing to laugh, and then said in a cold voice: "None of you should underestimate the enemy. Do you still need the governor to explain the truth that a proud soldier must be defeated? Let's go to the camp today and see clearly tomorrow." We will decide what the soldiers do."

"No~"

When the generals heard the words, they immediately put away their smiling faces and clasped their fists in response.

Immediately, the Ming army began to set up camp in the wilderness, under the watchful eye of the cavalry, Luck Dehun did not dare to do anything.

Speaking of which, the Qing cavalry had an absolute advantage in previous battles, but this time in southern Jiangxi, Wang Yan's [-] supervisors completely suppressed Luck Dehun.

When Wang Yan's troops arrived, the Qing camp was gloomy and gloomy, but Wanji in Ganzhou was overjoyed immediately, and Dang even took Wang Fuzhi, Zhang Jiayu and others across the Ganshui River by boat, bypassing the Qing camp to Wang Yan's Dazhai.

Several people greeted each other in the big tent, and after getting to know each other, Wang Yan said: "This time the governor came to aid Ganzhou, first to relieve the crisis in southern Jiangxi, and second, because he heard that Zheng Zhilong was about to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and His Majesty wanted to move to southern Ganzhou. So I was worried, so I came to meet him in person. Earlier, Master Wan asked Brother Zhiyuan to ask me for help, and Master Yan also sent someone to contact the Yingjia Army. It is considered that the time has already arrived in southern Jiangxi. They did not participate in the battle of Ganzhou. Have they entered Fujian now? ?”

Wan Ji and other Gannan officials heard the words, and their faces changed immediately, and they lost the joy before. Seeing this, Wang Yan couldn't help being surprised, and frowned, "Master Wan?" Wan Ji asked, pondering for a moment, hating Said: "The Duke of Chu does not know that the two leading troops, Zhang Xianbi and Huang Chaoxuan, did not intend to enter southern Jiangxi at all, and are still lingering at the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi, and have no intention of welcoming the emperor at all~" " What?" Wang Yan couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words, "The Yingjia Army is still in Hunan? What about Your Majesty?"

Wanji and the others were silent for a while. After a while, Wang Fuzhi said: "Shiheng, Ganzhou has been surrounded by the Qing army. I really don't know the situation of Fujian and the emperor. You don't have to worry too much. Right now, we still need to deal with Luck Dehun first, and then go to inquire about the emperor's news."

At this time, Wang Yan already knew about the current situation. According to the time, the emperor was about to move in June. It can be seen that the court had already discovered that Zheng Zhilong might surrender to the Qing court. Now it is late August, so long He has no way of knowing what happened in Fujian at that time, but the situation is definitely not optimistic.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan made up his mind. It seems that Luck Dehun by the Ganshui River must be resolved as soon as possible: "My brother is right. Now that the siege of Ganzhou is over, and the land in southern Ganzhou will always be connected with Fujing. , There are many more channels for obtaining information than I do. The important task of investigating the news of the emperor and Fujian is also asked to be handled by Wan Dushi, and I am annihilating Luck Dehun as soon as possible. drive."

Wanji heard the words, nodded and said: "Don't worry about the news, the Duke of Chu, I'll send someone to inquire immediately, but Luck Dehun's [-] soldiers and horses built a stronghold with their backs, obviously wanting to fight the Duke to the death. There is not much advantage in terms of military strength, do we need Ganzhou City to send troops to help?"

Wang Yan also knew about Luc Dehun's intentions, so he didn't plan to fight with Luc Dehun at first.

As long as his army confronts Luck Dehun for a period of time, the morale of the green battalion soldiers will lose their morale after a long time, and they will be broken without any effort. But right now, Wang Yan must get rid of Luck Dehun as soon as possible, so as not to be cleared. The soldiers held him back so that he could not be rescued.

When Wang Yan heard that Wanji was going to send troops to help, he thought for a moment, but shook his head and refused, because even though he was eager to defeat the enemy, he never thought about confronting Luck Dehun head-on, "Master Wan, don't worry, I already have a strategy in mind. "

"But to recruit Jin Shengheng?" Wang Fuzhi heard the words.

Wang Yan smiled slightly, "Brother really knows me too!"

"It's just that after Luc Dehun entered Jiangxi, he suppressed Jin Shengheng a lot, and most of the people who died in the attack on Ganzhou were Jin Shengheng's followers. He and Luc Dehun had already lost their peace, so it was inferred."

At this moment, Wu Zunzhou, who was sitting beside him, got up immediately, saluted Wang Yan and said, "If you recruit Jin Du Town, I am willing to do the work of dogs and horses!"

Seeing this, Wang Yan was immediately overjoyed. He brought Jin Shengheng's great aide to Gannan, thinking that he could rely on him to persuade Jin Shengheng to deal a fatal blow to Luck Dehun at a critical moment.
