Gongshun Wang Kong Youde, Zhishun Wang Shang Kexi, Xu Shun Gong Shen Zhixiang, and the left wing Meile Zhang Jingtuntai (that is, Tong Dai, Tong Yanghe) gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army.

His eyes swept over everyone and said: "I believe everyone knows the military situation, today's forward team has already had a battle with the opposite Shenzhou Army, our side has lost 100 people, and the other party's casualties are unknown." It seems that the great war is imminent, and I wonder what everyone thinks of the enemy they face. ”

Zhishun Wang Shang Kexi slowly picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip and said: "Ganzhou went to Admiral Jin somehow, his lair was trapped, he didn't even notice it, and he was still attacking under Tingzhou City, he was really calm." ”

Kong Youde groaned slightly: "I'm afraid that he doesn't know about this matter yet, and the enemy's methods on the other side are a bit powerful." ”

All the people here are generals who can attack and fight, who doesn't understand that if Jin Shenghuan still doesn't know the situation in Nanchang to this day, I'm afraid that this matter will be difficult to say.

Tun Tai arched his hand and said: "The prince is reasonable, since some time ago, he reported that the prince had no news of the enemy's army, and this matter is really suspicious." ”

Shang Kexi smiled noncommittally, and raised his voice: "It doesn't matter if he has him or not, this place of Nanchang is not the place of his Jin family, this world is the world of the Qing Dynasty, and Nanchang is also the Nanchang of the Qing Dynasty, not to mention that he has been tired for a long time and the soldiers are coming, so it is better to ignore him." ”

Shen Zhixiang stroked his beard and said: "I think what King Shang said is quite reasonable, that Jin Shenghuan's army has been tired for a long time, and now it is still fighting bloody battles under Tingzhou City, I am afraid that I will not be able to draw troops, even if I teach him to produce tens of thousands of soldiers, I will ignore him if it is useless for the overall situation." Of course, it is also a fact that he lost contact there, and now he might as well send a team of 1,000 people to go slowly, investigate and understand that everyone can relax and relax, I don't know what the two princes think? ”

Gong Shun Wang Kong Youde's eyes no longer looked at everyone, but nodded and said, "Just like Shen Gong said." In addition, I see that the enemy army in Nanchang is very suspicious, and in addition to the enemy army in Nanchang, there are also enemy activities in Fuzhou. Now I want to divide the army into two parts, one with 50,000 people stationed in front of the enemy, and the other with 150,000 soldiers and horses, to attack Fuzhou. ”

Shang Kexi categorically vetoed: "Why does Brother Wang avoid the important and take it lightly? Thinking that the enemy of Nanchang is only 50,000, why use this mysterious art of war, the enemy of the army everywhere should jump off the beam clown can be leveled with one blow, and there is no need to be so troublesome. ”

When the two subordinates saw that the two princes had different opinions, they immediately stopped talking and stopped responding, the so-called "ten thousand words are better than one silence." ”

"Then in your opinion, how should our army deal with it?"

Among the troops of the so-called three kings, Gongshun Wang Kong Youde had the strongest army, about 150,000 people, while Geng Zhongming, the king of Huaishun, had about 90,000 troops, and Zhishun King Shang Kexi, who led 60,000 troops, had the lowest military strength. It turned out that Kong Youde's plan was not to teach Geng Zhongming, who was slightly inferior in strength, to come for fear that he would share his own credit. His own army is still gratifying, except for bowing down and obeying orders, what insight can he have. Who knew that Shang Kexi's people ignored their strength, and did not hesitate to fight for their faces, which made Kong Youde really uncomfortable. For this reason, he hid his plan and only forced Shang Kexi to speak.

"Brother Wang, why do you need to be like this, tomorrow my brother can lead the army to fight first, as long as Brother Wang suppresses the horns for my brother, I believe that my brother can win with one drum." Shang Kexi's understanding of the Shenzhou Army all comes from hearsay, and because the legends are too deified, he would rather not believe them.

"So very good, this matter in the face of the enemy is entrusted to the brother's subordinates, but there is still a word for the brother, it is rumored that the chariot of the enemy army on the opposite side is powerful, so the brother and the brother have 30,000 horses, just to call all the cannons of the king brother, I don't know why?"

Shang Kexi was reluctant to let go of his artillery, but Kong Youde was the commander of his army, and he gave up the merits of the enemy to his heart and wanted to agree. Suddenly, the Chinese army shouted in their ears, "Report, the defenders of Nanchang have been defeated by the enemy and have collapsed to Jiujiang." ”

"What" The four princes and dukes sitting here were all shocked in their hearts, thinking that Nanchang still had 40,000 troops, even if it was not as brave as the Qing army, but why was it so vulnerable to the strong city? Could it be that the enemy is so brave?

Kong Youde and Shang Kexi glanced at each other, and they could see from each other's eyes that the other party was surprised. Now if the army is divided again, I am afraid that there will be a mistake of the defenders in the south of the Yangtze River, it is better to work together to break him for a while, and then say, it is best to drive the enemy army straight into Fujian in one go. After the doubts in his heart, he put aside the matter of fighting for merit, and he was thinking of a plan to break the enemy.

"Brother Wang, it seems that the enemy army has won the fortified city, thinking that Nanchang is Jin Shenghuan's lair, the wealth of gold, silver, grain and grass can be imagined, and the division of our army is really taboo. Now our army is ten times the enemy's army, and it can be easily trapped, but our army consumes more than 10,000 on this day, and it is really impossible to delay, so I intend to attack Zhangshu, and threaten Nanchang and Fuzhou at the same time, the enemy will either defend Nanchang and return to Fuzhou, or fight a decisive battle with me, thinking that they are weak, and I will make a feint attack on Fuzhou again, knowing that if I don't fight, the battle will be defeated, and I will fight against the enemy with tens of thousands of people, and the result can be imagined. ”

"What Brother Wang said is quite reasonable, our army only refuses to be in Zhangshu, and there is no reason why we are invincible whether we are attacking the city or fighting against the Ganjiang River. In addition, according to my brother's thoughts, our army will divide a part of our army to guard the north bank of the Ganjiang River to prevent the enemy from cutting off our rear route. The main force is Chen Bing on the south bank, waiting for the opportunity to attack the brother what do you think? ”

"Good!" Kong Youde praised, he knew that Shang Kexi was a person, although he was a little informal, and he was a little too upright, but in general, he was a person who could work together, not like some villains, relying on the power in his hands to do whatever he wanted, and he didn't take the overall situation into his eyes.

The next day, Gongshun Wang Kong Youde and Zhishun Wang Shang Kexi led a large army to cross the Gan River. Divided into 30,000 cavalry stationed on the front line of Xinyu and Yichun, you can ensure that the back road is unblocked, and at the same time, you can quickly rush to help. In addition, he sent the left-wing Mel Zhangjing Tuntai to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to be stationed along the river to ensure that the river bank was worry-free. The remaining 140,000 troops with nearly 100 red-coated cannons were in battle near Zhangshu on the east bank of the Ganjiang River.
