Fellow practitioners who live in this mortal world with their beauty

Things in the capital have been arranged, and Jueluo Bingyue lives in the Three Treasures Hall of the Hunyuanzhu Cave. She is currently at the lowest level among the women, and she has not arranged any errands. Her cultivation is important.

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, who are new wives, live in Sanbao Temple. They usually go to the theater to rehearse, and they don't have to fly back and forth. They are in the late stage of the Great Demon. They are very relieved to have them in Sanbao. The Taoist temple in the capital is safe and worry-free. .

At this time, Wu's Zhou Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, and Wu Sangui's main force in Hunan was now making its final struggle.

Changsha and Yuezhou were originally guarded by Wu Yingqi. After Wu Guogui, the commander-in-chief of the Wu army in the Zhou Dynasty, withdrew from Hengyang, he took over Changsha and added the troops withdrawn from Hengyang. Changsha already had more than 70,000 people guarding it.

Yuezhou Wu Yingqi's headquarters of 40,000 plus the Qing troops he had collected also numbered more than 70,000. Although he was surrounded by the Qing troops, he could still be at the horns of each other with Changsha, and he could be considered to have a large number of people.

In accordance with Sanbao's instructions, Prince Kang Jieshu led the Six Cavalry Army from south to north, with sparks and lightning all the way, spanning three thousand miles, harvesting the capitals of various places in Hunan, and blocking the connection between Changsha, Yuezhou and Yunnan and Guizhou.

After Wu Sangui's son-in-law Hu Guozhu and Xia Guoxiang escaped from Hengyang by swimming, they met Lin Xingzhu's detachment and got their wish and boarded Lin Xingzhu's naval warship.

"Two generals, the commander-in-chief has ordered the entire army to withdraw to Dongting Lake. Are you going back to Yiyang or to Yuezhou, Changsha?"

The guerrilla general in charge of the fleet was named Cai. After hearing the news, he came to ask Hu Guozhu and the two.

"Why should Lin Xingzhu withdraw his troops? If the navy retreats and Changsha Yuezhou loses a helping hand, the Qing troops from the north will not swarm in."

Hu Guozhu was shocked. Now was the critical moment. Success or failure depended on this. If Changsha and Yuezhou combined forces, they could have 150,000 troops, enough to resist the pace of the Qing army. If they could hold Changsha and Yuezhou and counterattack Hengyang Yongxing, Hunan would not be lost.

"General Hu, this is not something that the general can know. The general is just following orders."

"You can continue sailing. General Xia and I will discuss it and give you an answer."

Hu Guozhu was full of doubts. Logically speaking, Wu Yingqi should not make such a stupid mistake and ordered Lin Xingzhu to withdraw his troops.

"Prime Minister, this matter is different. Lin Xingzhu cannot withdraw his troops for no reason."

"Brother suspects Lin Xingzhu to defect to the Qing army."

Xia Guoxiang looked at Hu Guozhu, do you have clairvoyance or good ears?

"Yes, the Zhou Dynasty is now weak. Wang Pingfan, the auxiliary minister in the west, Geng Jingzhong in the east, Zheng Jing, and Sun Tingling are all pacified. In addition, with the death of the prince, the generals of the Black Banner Army are distracted, and the Qing army surrenders wherever they go. , Lin Xingzhu is afraid of having two minds."

Hu Guozhu's analysis was sound and logical, and Xia Guoxiang nodded in agreement frequently.

"Brother, if Lin Xingzhu has a different intention, we can't send her to her door."

"Of course, why not go to Yuezhou to find this guy Wu Yingqi? Since we are his brother-in-law, he can send someone to escort us back to Kunming."

"Wu Yingqi was forced to leave by the princess. She is my younger brother's real mother-in-law. I...I'm afraid that he has ulterior motives."

Xia Guoxiang hesitated. The current Zhou Dynasty empress was afraid that Wu Yingqi would seize power when he grew up and cause trouble to his son Wu Yingxiong, so she frequently ran against him. Wu Sangui was also afraid that his wife would secretly kill him, so he adopted Wu Yingqi to his eldest brother.

"This kid is really careless. If you go, there will be no good results."

Hu Guozhu thought about it and decided to go to Changsha. Although Wu Guogui, like himself, belonged to a related family, he had many soldiers and horses under his command.

"Be careful with the Wannian Ship and let them take us to Changsha."

"Prime Minister, I think these soldiers are watching us. Maybe they are afraid that we will escape."

Hu Guozhu opened the cabin window and was about to summon the generals on the warship, but he found a dozen sailors peeking over here furtively.

"It seems that Lin Xingzhu has indeed contacted the Qing army. The navy no longer belongs to the Black Flag Army, and we have to escape again."

"Now the boat is in the river, the current is fast, and there are no reeds for ventilation. I'm afraid the water escape method won't work."

"Brother, what should we do?"

"Capture the thief first and capture the king. Later, call in the general. You and I will work together to capture him and force him to go to Changsha."

"This is a good plan. No need to swim."

Xia Guoxiang provoked Brother Thumb and quite agreed. Although I managed to escape with my life thanks to the reeds, walking under the water was not that easy. One step was deep and the other was shallow. I almost fell down and lost the reed pole several times.

"You take Brother's sword and hide it behind the door. I'll call him in right now."

Prime Minister Xia Guo didn't pay attention at all. He quickly took the sword and pressed against the cabin door, holding his breath and preparing to sneak attack on the travel general.

"General Cai, please come in. I will ask you something."

"General Hu has already decided where to go."

"General Cai, please come in. This general is going to fight to the death with the Qing army. I heard that the Qing army is attacking Changsha. Please send me and I to Premier Wu."

"General Hu, Mr. Wu, Prime Minister of Military Affairs, is currently deploying troops to defend Changsha. He is very busy. You'd better not disturb him. Commander Lin has admired the general's demeanor for a long time, so he will go to Dongting Lake in Yiyang with the last general."

"No, no, it's precisely because the Qing army besieged Changsha that I, the general, rushed to the battlefield to assist Mr. Wu."

Humph, a little travel general dares to disobey me and will look good on you later.

"Ouch...nose..."

"Bang!"

I saw that the travel secretary pushed the door too hard, and the hatch actually hit Xia Guoxiang's head. His nose was painful and dizzy, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

"Brothers, come quickly, these two are pretending to be relatives of the emperor and they won't be captured by me."

Seeing that the situation was not going well, General Cai stopped abruptly, pulled the door open and banged it hard a few times, and then exited the cabin in one stride.

"Useless thing!" Hu Guozhu cursed secretly. "Hmph! This general is a mighty general, but you, a little guerrilla general, dare to disobey orders, commit the following crimes, and wantonly slander this general!"

Hu Guozhu also took advantage of the fact that the navy soldiers did not know the general's conspiracy and captured Dayi first.

"Whose general is wearing such shabby clothes and holding an ordinary long sword? Whose general is not brave and good at fighting, how can he be so reluctant to fight! Brothers, capture them and kill them if they encounter resistance!"

This man surnamed Cai is also a ruthless person. He doesn't mind the dead even if he can't take them alive.

"kill!"

After all, Hu Guozhu was also from the military, and he still had some brute strength. He lifted up the seat next to him, rounded it and smashed it against the navy soldier.

The soldiers were aroused to anger. Damn it, I haven't taken action yet, but you are the first to take action.

"Bow and arrow shooting!"

"Click, rub, rub..."

A dozen soldiers holding bows and arrows suddenly ran out from behind General Cai. They squatted down and blocked the door with their bows and arrows drawn.

"Puff puff……"

After a shower of arrows, the archer took a few steps forward and continued shooting.

"Haha, how can a mere crossbow hurt this general... bang... bang!"
