A Timely Wife

Dou Shoudao asked Li Ruosong and Chengdong for a lot of oil half a year ago. Li Ruosong and Chengdong didn't think too much about it, they just thought that Dou Shoudao was going to follow the example of Chu Jing's defense war and dig a moat outside the city. Oil was poured into the moat to prevent Dahe's cavalry from charging. After the Fuyi mansion ignited a fire, Li Ruosong and the others knew where so much oil was used. Many Dahe soldiers rushed into the Fuyi mansion. Many people were burnt to death, including Da Yuanli. Da Yuanli rushed to the front. When retreating, he couldn't retreat completely. Half of the face was directly disfigured, and it was originally facing the evil, but after being tossed like this once, it was impossible to look at it.

Fortunately, Dahe is different from Dachu. There is no such rule that those with physical disabilities or vicious faces cannot be admitted to Dabao. If so, Dayuan severely punished this crime, and he hated Nanchu to the extreme. While attacking Fuyi Mansion, his elder brother Da Yuanqi led his subordinates to bypass the territory of Southern Chu and march towards the west.

As far as Dahe is concerned, the guns in Nanchu's hands cannot be shot down for a while, but the mob in the west is vulnerable. Dahe's idea is to not move Nanchu first. Instead, the forces around Nanchu were incorporated, and their strategy was to capture the west, unite with the south, encircle Nanchu, encircle and annihilate it.

The Dayuan family set the regulations in the capital of Dahe, which later became the Hedu Agreement. Dayuan Li led the left army to continue to encircle and suppress the rebels who rebelled against Hefu Chu north of the Chu River and the remaining Chu army. The road army passed through Sanchuan Mansion at the source of the Chu River to the six prefectural cities in the west occupied by the peasant army. The task of Da Yuanqi was to capture these six prefectural cities, and sent a team to the southern countries to negotiate a joint encirclement and suppression of Da Chu.

The Central Route Army has the largest number of troops and the strongest deployment of troops. They are in charge of Da Yuanhe, Da Yuan Zhang, and Da Yuan Lie. The Central Route Army is prepared for crossing the south of the Yangtze River. Based on Chu’s experience in forming a naval division, Dahe also sent two teams, one to the west, to find a place where firearms can be manufactured and to recruit strong men to fill the army. Since the war with Dachu, Dahe has lost nearly 30 soldiers. Originally, there were not many soldiers in Dahe, but after several fierce battles, there were even fewer soldiers left. The plan to capture Dachu in six months was aborted. The use of troops, Dahe is powerless.

His own strength is insufficient, and Nanchu is becoming more and more popular. He heard from the soldiers of Dachu who surrendered that those weapons were made by foreigners brought by Nanchu from overseas. Dahe was naturally moved, but it is a pity that they do not have a navy , and there are no ships that can go to sea, so they can only choose to go west by land to see if they can find foreigners who can make these firearms. It's okay to grab a batch. After several fights, Dahe has realized the power of firearms. How about the cavalry being strong? Dead road cannon's sake.

The only thing that makes Dahe feel lucky is that Nanchu seems to have insufficient firearms and ammunition. It is estimated that even if it is produced, it cannot produce too much. If they can produce enough ammunition, Chujing City may not be able to be attacked by Dahe. Come down, so Dahe thinks that Nanchu must have a batch of guns and ammunition, but the number must not be too much, so if they start a war with Nanchu, they only need to find a way to consume Nanchu's ammunition first. There is no ammunition in the gun, and those guns are not as good as burning sticks. At that time, ten Nanchu people might not be able to beat a Dahe warrior.

There is also a group of people who, under the leadership of Da Yuanqi, bypassed Southern Chu and went straight to the south. That side is also the highlight. The people of Southern Chu often say that they make long distances and close attacks. The Dahe people also understand this tactic. Only the southern countries can join forces with them. , attacking Nanchu together, and putting Nanchu in a state of pincer attack from the north and the south, can effectively disperse the troops of Nanchu. The part of the slaughter.

The southern countries have been dissatisfied with Dachu for many years. It can be said that Dachu is a piece of fat in their eyes. Dahe has already bitten half of it. The southern countries must want to eat the other half. Dahe is not afraid of the southern countries. Occupying half of the country to the south of Great Chu, Nan Chu is not easy to eat, and if he wants to swallow this piece of meat, it depends on whether he has such a big mouth.

To put it bluntly, Dahe's plan is to use the southern countries to consume the ammunition of Southern Chu to the maximum extent, disperse the troops of Southern Chu, and drag Nan Chu to death as much as possible. It doesn't even reach half of Dahe's number, so Dahe doesn't worry at all that the southern countries can take advantage of it. You know, the southern countries have never tasted the power of these guns. When they taste it, they want to destroy Nanchu The mind will only be stronger than before, and will not be weaker than before. Once the southern countries are on the par with Nanchu, they will have a chance to take advantage of the chaos and annex Nanchu. As for the southern countries, they are just bait If they can take down Southern Chu, Dahe can take advantage of the situation to destroy these small countries. It doesn’t matter if they can’t take down Southern Chu. Anyway, Dahe didn’t expect how powerful the southern countries would be. Regardless of the outcome of the southern countries, in the end they are making wedding clothes for others.

Dahe's wishful thinking was crackling, and their movements were also very fast, almost three ways at the same time. Li Ruosong and General Zhou were really fascinated by Da Yuanli's deeds. Zhang Butler's intelligence Before Ke had time to find out the relevant news, Fuyi Mansion was already caught in the flames of war, and Nan Chu's energy was completely devoted to the defense of Fuyi Mansion.

As a result, when Li Ruosong and the others got the news of Dahe's West Route Army, all the prefectural cities in the west had fallen into Dahe's hands. After capturing Sanjiang Mansion and slaughtering the city for three days, there was almost no so-called resistance in the following mansions. After all, the occupants of those mansions to the west were just a bunch of refugees and soldiers. Even though Southern Chu announced the founding of the country, they did not send anyone to repair the relationship. In other words, they did not think that they had any need to accept Southern Chu's recruitment. They were used to being emperors. ignore.

Southern Chu has been busy since the founding of the People's Republic of China, accepting the victims, building the capital, gathering the troops of the state capitals, rearranging the garrison, just getting on the right track, and before they had time to free up their hands to clean up those people in the west, the defense of Fuyi Mansion started , the battle on Fuyi Mansion's side has attracted Nanjiang Mansion's full attention. It can be said that it was a wrong step, but he didn't pay attention to it for a while, and the west side fell into Dahe's hands.

By the time Li Ruosong and General Zhou realized it, it was already too late, the siege of Southern Chu had been basically completed, Dahe hadn't contacted the southern countries, and the southern countries had already found the opportunity to declare war on Southern Chu on their own The south is the sphere of influence of General Zhang. Because of his daughter, although there was no conflict between General Zhang and Li Ruosong, there was a estrangement after all.

In Southern Chu Jianguo, General Zhang sent someone there, but he only sent one general. His attitude was interesting. If General Zhou didn’t want to face General Zhang head-on, it is estimated that this general would never come back. .Old General Zhang sent a general to participate in Xiong Ruoshan's enthronement ceremony, and accepted the award given by Xiong Ruoshan, Dingnan General, but he completely ignored the military system reform plan issued by the Ministry of War. How did the South do it before? , What should I do now, the people sent by the Ministry of War are entertained with good food and drink, and they don't mention taking people to the barracks to see.

The point is that General Zhou didn’t want to cause the newly established Southern Chu to fall into civil strife because of these things. Originally, Southern Chu only had 30 soldiers stationed here and [-] Zhang’s troops stationed in Pingnan Mansion. Whether the Zidi soldiers won or the Zhang family's army won, it was a disastrous defeat for Nanchu. Their civil strife would only let Dahe take advantage of it, and it would have no effect except to speed up the demise of Nanchu.

Old General Zhang has seen this for sure, so he is so confident. Before Nan Chu has a firm foothold, Emperor Ming of Chu will not and dare not touch him. He can do whatever he wants, and of course Old General Zhang will not miss it. As a chance for revenge, he clearly proposed to let Li Ruosong marry and divorce his wife. If Zhang Ruirui was not already married, General Zhang would let Li Ruosong marry Zhang Ruirui as his wife. However, General Zhang was unwilling to do so from the bottom of his heart. He took this opportunity to let Li Ruosong marry Zhang Ruirui, and Zhang Ruirui's life will never be easy in the future. If Li Ruosong treats his daughter coldly, he will have nothing to do. So, Mr. Zhang The general only asked Li Ruosong to divorce his wife. He hoped that he could let out the bad breath that he kept in his heart back then. Even though he knew that his daughter had done something wrong, it was his own daughter. After being humiliated like this, he said Just because he didn't say anything, and even helped Li Ruosong suppress his daughter, didn't mean he didn't have any objections in his heart.

Li Ruosong would never agree to such an unreasonable request. Not only did he not agree, but he also proposed that if General Zhang insisted on letting him divorce his wife, the 30 soldiers in his hands would not be vegetarians. Then, the three regiments closest to Pingnan Mansion A military exercise was held. After this military exercise, General Zhang never mentioned the matter of asking Li Ruosong to divorce his wife. He had a lot of 30 people, but Li Ruosong had more guns than his [-] people. People are much more useful.

Old General Zhang, who was jealous of those weapons, instead asked the Southern Chu court to equip them with these weapons. The reason was that the weapons in the south were old. , I'm afraid I can't resist it.
