At this time, Hu Zongxian began to feel a little nervous, and he had a faint feeling that this was the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan deliberately leading them into the depths.

Hu Zongxian led some people to hunt down Zhang Daoyuan in Jiangxi, and he didn't know that the other part of the people in Guangdong encountered the same problem as him.

However, he could predict that the army in Canton was likely to be in the same situation as him.

He now has two options.

One is to continue to pursue Zhang Daoyuan, and the other is to withdraw immediately.

At this time, Hu Zongxian was very unwilling, and he had a worry in his heart, if he didn't catch or kill Zhang Daoyuan in the end, I am afraid that Emperor Jiajing might not let him go. Therefore, in the end, he still gave an order and continued to look for Zhang Daoyuan in the deep mountains.

But......

The tide turned around overnight.

Hu Zongxian's army began to be attacked by Zhang Daoyuan's people day and night, although the number of people who attacked them each time was not large, but it was very frequent, and the most important thing was that at this time, Hu Zongxian found that Zhang Daoyuan and they were very familiar with the deep mountains and old forests, and they were not at all like when they first started to chase and kill.

Zhang Daoyuan's situation at this time was like a dragon entering the sea, Hu Zongxian and they were harassed and attacked day and night, and they had no time to rest at all, even sleeping became a problem.

Moreover, in the old forest, it was rainy and the roads were muddy and slippery, which greatly reduced Hu Zongxian's combat effectiveness. At the beginning, because Zhang Daoyuan and others consciously pretended to be invincible, Hu Zongxian and others were still highly motivated. But at this time, Zhang Daoyuan's people showed their hideous fangs, and Hu Zongxian's army was dying every day, which made Hu Zongxian's morale plummet. The number of casualties is increasing every day.

Another 18 days passed, and Hu Zongxian led 100,000 people into the mountain, and more than 20,000 people died. The most important thing is that Hu Zongxian simply could not find a solution to the problem. And Hu Zongxian realized that if this continues, I am afraid that the remaining 80,000 people will also die here.

Because they are not only attacked by Zhang Daoyuan and others every day, but also have no food these days, relying on hunting, this is their disadvantage in depth, and the supply cannot be supplied.

Hu Zongxian immediately and decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops, but it was easy to get in and difficult to get out.

They were too deep, even if they didn't have Zhang Daoyuan and the others constantly attacking, they would have to walk for nearly a month before they could get out.

Not to mention......

At this time, Zhang Daoyuan and others began to hunt down Hu Zongxian, and they were familiar with the mountains and forests, like ghosts, coming and going without a trace, like death, harvesting the lives of Ming officers and soldiers every day.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are about to collapse!

The most fatal thing happened, two days before they were about to escape from the mountains and forests, Zhang Daoyuan's people finally found an opportunity, and an arrow hit Hu Zongxian's right shoulder, and it was a poisonous arrow, which made Hu Zongxian quickly comatose. Although he was quickly pulled out by the military doctor with the team to heal his wounds, his life was not in danger, but he was unconscious.

In this way, Hu Zongxian's army, which had lost its dragon head, was even more defeated, and fled in a panic, and when they escaped from Laolin, only 40,000 of the 100,000 people who came in at the beginning were left.

Fortunately, in the camp at the foot of the mountain, Hu Zongxian also left 50,000 people, which made Zhang Daoyuan very jealous and did not dare to storm the camp. Two days later, Hu Zongxian woke up, but received news from Guangdong, and it turned out that it was the same as what happened to him, and Hu Zongxian immediately vomited blood and fell into a coma.

Luo Xin put down the letter, his brows furrowed, he felt that the crisis was surrounding him, and it made people feel suffocated.

What a defeat!

Hu Zongxian's army of 300,000 sent 150,000 troops to Guangdong and 150,000 troops to Jiangxi, but now there are only about 180,000 left, 90,000 in Guangdong and Jiangxi, and 120,000 casualties.

"Brother Hu, this kind of defeat...... Alas......"

Luo Xin sighed, and then put Hu Zongxian's future aside for the time being, he now had to think about the affairs of the Guangdong White Lotus Sect and Jiangxi Zhang Daoyuan.

There should be no problem with the armies in Guangdong and Jiangxi at the moment, and the soldiers of Hu Zongxian who came out of the deep mountains and old forests, although their morale is low, they are still strong compared to the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan. Outside the mountain, the Ming army regained its advantage, and without the advantage of protecting the deep mountains and old forests, the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan would not have an impact on the camp, and the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan did not have many people left at this time, each of them was about 10,000 people.

The reason why they defeated Hu Zongxian was nothing more than relying on their familiarity with the deep mountains and old forests, and from this point of view, the nest of the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan should be in the deep mountains and old forests.

However, low morale is real, and if it is not revitalized for a long time, I am afraid that it will really fail. Casualties of 120,000 troops are already a great crime, and it will implicate Luo Xin. So at this time, there must be a person with enough status and prestige to go to the front.

Who is this person?

Luo Xin smiled bitterly, now in Daming, in addition to Hu Zongxian, there are also Ma Fang and himself. Now that Ma Fang is far away in the north, he only has his own southern strategy, and it is within the scope of his duties, and at this time, he is the only one who goes.

Luo Xin began to prepare to leave Suzhou and go to Jiangxi.

Yes!

He was going to Jiangxi first. In fact, in Luo Xin's opinion, the White Lotus Sect is more harmful than Zhang Daoyuan, but he knows that in the hearts of Emperor Jiajing and the cabinet, Zhang Daoyuan is much more important than the White Lotus Sect, so he can not completely destroy the White Lotus Sect, but he can't let Zhang Daoyuan go.

Originally, he admired Zhang Daoyuan very much, and when he met Zhang Daoyuan, he also decided that as long as Zhang Daoyuan was not too much, he would not embarrass Zhang Daoyuan. However, how is Zhang Daoyuan too much now?

Before he leaves Suzhou, he must arrange government affairs. has been so busy for two days, and before he can arrange everything, He Xinyin came.

This can't help but make Luo Xin happy, and now he is short of available people around him. And He Xinyin is indeed a great talent, he has cooperated with Luo Xin many times, and he is very different from Xu Jie, and even has a good idea of Xinxue. Luo Xin can basically trust this person.

happily welcomed He Xinyin in, waiting for the maid to serve tea. Luo Xin said happily:

"Brother He, it's great that you can come."

He Xinyin waved his hand and said: "I'm here to help you, it's to pay off the debt, after all, I was the one who prompted you to cooperate with Xinxue, but I didn't expect Xu Jie to be so filthy, making me ashamed of you." ”
