Let's say that since the battle at the mouth of Dongting Lake, Luck Dehun has been in a slump, and all military affairs have been handled by Tong Yanghe.

After this defeat, the Qing army has no possibility of defeating Wang Yan unless it sends troops and horses into Chu, but the Qing army is not completely without the strength of a battle, and the monk Tong Yang has more than 23,000 iron cavalry, more than 25,000 green battalion soldiers, nearly 50,000 horses, and the Ming army also won.

At this time, after Wang Yan cleaned up the battlefield, he and the Qing soldiers held each other's fortresses, and the two camps were only five miles between them, and they were against each other.

Wang Yan originally thought that the Qing soldiers would return to Wuchang after experiencing defeat, so he also had the opportunity to let the Ming army cultivate and quickly raise money and food, but he did not expect that the Qing soldiers did not return to Wuchang, so that although he defeated Luck Dehun, he did not achieve his strategic goals.

In the Qing army, it is not that Tong Yanghe does not want to retreat, but that he is not the commander of the army after all, although he knows that Luckedhun is finished, but before the will of the court is lowered, Luckedhun is still the commander of the army.

If the imperial court wants to increase the number of troops in Huguang, but he retreats without authorization, then the imperial court will be investigated in the future, but Tong Yanghe does not dare to take this responsibility, and although the Qing army is defeated, but the vitality is still there, it is not that he cannot hold the camp, so after he returned to the camp, he immediately ordered the army to hold the villages and not to go out lightly.

The Qing army stuck to the camp and did not come out, which was the result that Wang Yan did not want to see, and his financial resources no longer allowed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so he and the Qing soldiers were consumed.

The Ming army needs to cultivate, and the people of Yuezhou need to resume production, especially now that it is the sowing season, if the agricultural time is missed, the fragile Yuezhou will inevitably have a catastrophe this year, so no matter what, Wang Yan urgently needs to drive the Qing soldiers back to Wuchang.

On the second day after the battle, Wang Yan ordered the general Liu Fangliang to lead his troops to fight, and Tong Yanghe did not move.

On the third day, Liu Fangliang once again led the troops to scold in front of the Qing army's village, and scolded Nurhachi and several sons, the Qing army still did not fight, Liu Fangliang saw this, so he immediately ordered the soldiers and horses to rush to the gate of the village, but was beaten back by the Qing army's bows and arrows.

In the big tent of the Chinese army of the Ming army, Wang Yan sat at the table to deal with military affairs, Liu Fangliang held his helmet, walked into the tent with a depressed face, knelt down on one knee and said: "Qi Yu Guogong, Na Luck Dehun is determined to be a turtle with a shrunken head, no matter how the general abuses, he will not come out to fight." ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help frowning, this Qing army didn't go to war, he couldn't keep consuming like this, but it was obviously not possible to attack strongly, he now had less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he couldn't withstand too many casualties.

"General Liu, please get up!" While thinking about countermeasures, Wang Yan first comforted Liu Fangliang and said: "Since the Qing soldiers are unwilling to fight, the challenge is useless. General Liu has been working very hard these days, so he doesn't have to go to battle tomorrow, so let's rest in the camp. ”

When Liu Fangliang heard this, he smiled slightly, "Grandpa Guo doesn't have to worry, the last general is not hard, and General Li and General Gao rushed to do the work of scolding the battle in front of the battalion." ”

"Oh?" Wang Yan couldn't help but be puzzled when he heard this.

Liu Fangliang immediately explained: "Guogong doesn't know, the brothers were chased too badly by the Qing soldiers before. From Beijing to Xi'an, and from Xi'an to Huguang, he was almost killed by these grandsons. Now that they have finally been convinced, they dare not fight back after scolding, and many brothers want to go to the Qing army, shaking their majesty. ”

Wang Yan listened, Fang was a little heavy, and couldn't help but feel a little more joyful, he looked at Liu Fangliang and smiled slightly, and then said: "In this case, in the next few days, Liu Jiangjun will take turns to fight in front of the Qing camp with General Li and General Gao, but the Qing soldiers are cunning, and General Liu must not relax his vigilance~"

"Nuo~" Liu Fangliang was happy to respond, and Wang Yan asked him to withdraw from the big tent.

In the next few days, the generals of the Ming army took turns to shout and scold in front of the Qing camp, beating drums and shouting every day, which made the Qing soldiers very annoyed, and the Manchurians had a big temper, and they wanted to go out of the camp to pick up the station several times, but they were all suppressed by Tong Yanghe.

Wang Yan saw that the Qing army was so tolerant, and he couldn't help but admire it a little in his heart, and finally discussed with Du Yinxi, thinking about it, there was only one way to cut off his grain route, so he dared to write a letter and let people send it to Yuezhou.

After another three days, Man Dazhuang led 2,000 sailors to Hukou, and Wang Yan immediately ordered Li Laiheng to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to board the ship, cooperate with Man Dazhuang, and go to attack the Qing army's grain road.

The fleet set off at night, but it didn't want to be discovered by the Qing soldiers. The fort built by Luckdehun played a role, sinking two large ships, and the Ming army lost more than 100 people and had to retreat from the Yangtze River.

The Qing army's strategy of blocking the river with red-coated cannons and attacking the grain route was shattered.

Wang Yan didn't worry for a while, but after two days, Gao Yigong, who went to fight, suddenly came to report, "Grandpa Guo, the Qing camp has become an empty camp, and all the Qing soldiers have run away." ”

Wang Yan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers and horses to check, and sure enough, he saw a huge Qing camp, and there was no trace of a Qing army.

The camp tent of the Qing soldiers, and many supplies were not taken away, and they obviously left in a hurry, which made Wang Yan and others suddenly puzzled, and hurriedly sent sentry horses to the direction of Wuchang to investigate.

At this time, Wang Yan and the army were demolishing the Qing army camp and counting useful materials, while waiting for the news from the sentry cavalry to make a decision.

Two days later, Zhou Zebin, who went to Wuchang to investigate the news, returned to the camp, Wang Yan returned to Wuchang City with all the Qing soldiers, and the sentinel also found out that in Wuchang Mansion, Chengtian Mansion, Huangzhou Mansion, and De'an Mansion, there were large numbers of Qing soldiers, frantically grabbing grain.

Wang Yan and Du Yinxi heard the news, and they couldn't help but wonder for a while, the land occupied by the Qing army is vast, and there is a land in the south of the Yangtze River, is there also a shortage of food?

At this time, Wang Yan instinctively judged that something big might happen in the south of the Yangtze River, but he couldn't be sure, and he didn't know to what extent the Qing army was short of food, so he didn't dare to rush into Wuchang.

The Ming army fought for a long time, and Wang Yan was also short of food and grass, since the Qing army retreated, he had already achieved his goal in this battle.

Wang Yan immediately ordered the army to set up camp and the whole army returned to Yuezhou to rest.

More than 70,000 Ming troops, with a large number of booty, weapons and armor, horse meat tents, more than 500 carts, led nearly 10,000 war horses, and returned to Yuezhou.

Although the Ming army killed more than 5,000 people in this battle, the harvest was also huge, and the soldiers thought of returning to Yuezhou, and the Guogong immediately rewarded them for their merits and deeds, and distributed salaries and silver, and their faces were full of joy.

On April 11, Wang Yan led the army back to the boundary of Yuezhou, but there was a report from the sentinel that a Ming army of soldiers and horses had come to Yuezhou City, with no less than 100,000 people.

Wang Yan learned the news, his face couldn't help but be cold, his heart was very unhappy, he came to the city with a large army, and sure enough, he saw the banner on the city, the camp tent outside the city was stretched, and a big flag fluttered in the wind, and it was written: He He, the governor of Daming Huguang.

In Wang Yan's army, a group of generals who had been reorganized from the Shun army saw the big banner, and their faces were gloomy.
