On the east mountain in the south of Jingmen County, the sun is dim, the east wind is weak and weak, the white spirit banner hangs low and does not roll, thousands of soldiers stand still, and the heaven and earth are solemn.

The soldiers who bravely took the lead and died heroically under the recess of Huazi Mountain, including the remains of 1,600 people killed in battle under Zhao Jian, are being buried.

Qin Mu wrapped his arms around the white silk and stood in front of the three armies with a solemn expression. He held a wine glass in his hand and recited the eulogy aloud: "Who is the catastrophe that caused the catastrophe, the horse leather was divided, the worms and sand competed, and the miasma rain and smoke were destroyed; Try to look back, the more clothes are gone, the Han banner is vast, this infinite national mourning, each to the end of the world.

Where Wuyang recruits, the moon is dark in Guanshan, the clouds are plugged into the clouds, and the loyal souls are drowned; If he is the day, the reincarnation of the Three Realms, and the nine shades are free, I wish they are all strong men and re-enter the battlefield to re-enmity and hatred! ”

After Qin Mu finished reading it aloud, he sprinkled wine as a sacrifice, and the soldiers of the three armies immediately roared in unison: "If he is a day, the reincarnation of the Three Realms, and the Nine Shadows are free, I wish they will all be strong men and re-enter the battlefield to avenge each other!" ”

"If he is a day, the Three Realms will be reincarnated, and the Nine Shadows will be released, may they all be strong men and re-enter the battlefield to re-enmity and hatred!"

"If he is a day, the Three Realms will be reincarnated, and the Nine Shadows will be released, may they all be strong men and re-enter the battlefield to re-enmity and hatred!"

This is a eulogy, but also an oath, and it is the condensation of the military soul that was born to be a hero and died to be a spirit.

Qin Mu's solemn memorial is a consolation to the dead and an encouragement to the living.

Can't let the two hundred heroic martyrs who died generously die in vain, Qin Mu wants to use their heroic sacrifices to cast the soul of the Qin army.

The soldiers of the three armies bowed three times in the roar, and the mountain wind gradually rose, blowing white flags flying sideways, hunting sounded, as if the sacrificed heroic souls were hovering in the air, and the soldiers wiped their eyes and puffed up their chests. Clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and saluted the heroic souls in the sky again, his eyes becoming extremely determined.

The wounds on Zhao Jian's body were bandaged by Qin Mu himself, and Qin Mu gave him a high degree of courtesy, and at the same time posthumously regarded the more than 1,700 soldiers who died in battle under his command as heroic martyrs, and buried them with the same specifications as the Qin army, which not only won Zhao Jian's heart, but also won the hearts of his remaining 2,000 soldiers.

"General Zhao. You need to recuperate for a while, and there are many wounded soldiers under you, so you also need to rest. Please General Zhao tell everyone that they should first recuperate from their injuries with peace of mind, and other officers will definitely make proper arrangements, reward for meritorious deeds, military salaries, food and grass, and compensation for casualties, and the officers will treat them equally. ”

"Thank you, sir."

Zhao Jian is only twenty-eight years old. But he looks like he is forty years old, with big shoulders and a round waist, a beard, and a height of 1.90 meters.

Although Huo Sheng, Ling Zhan and others are also big men. But compared to him, he is obviously one size smaller, even the tall and mighty Liu Meng, who is not as good as him, this guy is like an iron tower. His personality is as straightforward and rough as his appearance.

At the critical juncture, it was he who took the lead. Bravely killing the enemy, so that his soldiers can still persist in street fighting after the city is broken.

"General Zhao is not welcome, please rest assured General Zhao, this official will do what he says, and when General Zhao recovers from his injuries, this official will definitely make up for you double the number of soldiers."

"I am willing to die for my lords." Zhao Jian clenched his fists, touched the wound, and couldn't help grinning, but he endured and finished the military salute for Qin Mu.

Qin Mu knew that with his current strength, he would not be able to counterattack Xiangyang, although Liu Tiren was defeated, Yuan Zongdi's total strength was still more than 40,000, and the high walls of Xiangyang City were thick, even if tens of thousands of troops from Wuchang were transferred, it would not be easy to capture Xiangyang.

So Qin Mu decided to adopt the strategy of encroachment, and sent Su Jin to lead 5,000 cavalry to the north, one to meet Li Jiu, and the other to take advantage of the power of the great victory, to encroach on the Dashun army around Xiangyang.

Then Ling Zhan took over Jingmen and Zhong Xiang. Zhao Jian assisted in the defense, and Jingzhou was handed over to Ning Yuan, who arrived later, and after making these arrangements, Qin Mu did not stay in Jingmen for a long time, and hurried to Wuchang.

***

In Wuchang City, Lu Jiude, who rushed from Luzhou, was like an ant on a hot pot, he was the supervisor of Fengyang, the Jingshi fell, and the news of Chongzhen's death came, he and Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, immediately reached a consensus and decided to support King Fu.

After Huai'an and King Fu secretly discussed, he actively campaigned for this, and Ma Shiying sent people to lobby Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie, and he went west to Luzhou to lobby Gao Jie. After that, he rushed 400 miles one day and flew to Wuchang.

Qin Mu actually controls the land of Jiangxi and Jinghu, with more than 100,000 troops, although he is not like Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing, who claim to have hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn, but he controls the largest territory;

And last year, his little men and horses were able to defeat Zhang Xianzhong's hundreds of thousands of troops, and he destroyed more than 100,000 horses of Zuo Liangyu before and after.

Now everyone else is arguing over the proponent of a new king;

However, Qin Mu seemed to have forgotten that supporting a new monarch was the top priority.

He first ordered Huguang and Jiangxi to pay tribute to Chongzhen, and then the three armies went north to fight for thieves;

Lu Jiude went to Wuchang to pounce, and heard that Qin Muzheng personally led an army to fight a bloody battle with Li Zicheng's rebels in Jingmen.

Qin Mu's fast march made Lu Jiude stunned, a few days ago I heard that in Yueyang, he would have arrived at Jingmen in a blink of an eye, if it weren't for the constant arrival of battle reports from the front, Lu Jiude would have thought that Ma Yongzhen was scolding him.

"General Ma, Lord Qin, he"

"Gonggong Lu, the general has already said that Xiangyang is not only the gateway to Jingxiang, but also the strategic point of the entire Jiangnan, Zuo Liangyu disregarded the safety of the world and abandoned Xiangyang, so that the imperial court lost this strategic point. Lord Qin is now leading the army to counterattack, if he can't recapture Xiangyang, I'm afraid that no one can protect half of the south of the Yangtze River, can Gonggong Lu remember the death of the Southern Song Dynasty, which started with the loss of Xiangyang? ”

"Oh, General Ma, the first priority now is to support the new monarch, only in this way can we appease the world and boost the morale of the army.

"No, Lord Qin is bent on begging thieves and avenging his father, and this matter of support is presided over by the princes of Nanjing." Ma Yongzhen pushed two-five-six.

This is not to blame him, Qin Mu really never mentioned the matter of supporting the new monarch, and he didn't know what Qin Mu's intentions were, and where he dared to express his position indiscriminately.

Lu Jiude almost didn't jump up when he heard this, "There are Nanjing princes who preside over it." This sentence reminded him of many things;

Before Qin Mu came out, he befriended Jiang Yueguang and others in Jinling, and Donglin also praised him, it is said that he made up for the vacancy in Changzhi County, and Hou Fangyu and Mao Bijiang, among the four sons of the Fushe, ran for him to ask for help.

Qin Mu and Donglin have such a relationship, and Ma Yongzhen said this again, does it mean that Qin Mu and the Donglin Party have reached an agreement to support King Lu?

If this is the case, with Qin Mu as the backing, even if Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie and Huang Degong all support King Fu, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed.

"General Ma, our family must meet Lord Qin, this is goodbye."

"Father-in-law Lu is slow, I just received the battle report, Lord Qin has defeated the thieves in Jingmen, annihilating tens of thousands of enemies, and now he is on the way back to Wuchang, Grandpa Lu will wait a few days, and Lord Qin will arrive."

"It's urgent, our family really can't wait, please General Ma tell me which way Lord Qin is taking, and our family will go to meet Lord Qin."

"Since my father-in-law can't wait, I won't stay long, Lord Qin is going south along the Han River by boat."

"Thank you Master Hou, please arrange a speedboat for our family, and our family will have a report."

Ma Yongzhen didn't know what Qin Mu was planning, but he didn't leave Lu Jiude in trouble, and quickly arranged a fast boat for him.

Lu Jiude hurriedly went up the current and went to meet Qin Mu.

And like Lu Jiude, there was more than one person who ran after Qin Mu, and Zhu Youlang, the son of King Gui, was one of them.

Guiwang Zhu Changying is the seventh son of the Wanli Emperor, sealed in Huguang Hengzhou, last year when Zhang Xianzhong went south to Huguang, Guiwang and his family saw the opportunity early, and fled to Wuzhou, Guangxi.

When Qin Mu recovered Huguang, King Gui was seriously ill and bedridden, and it was difficult to return to Hengzhou in time, so he only sent his son Zhu Youlang back to Hengzhou to take care of the palace;

After Zhu Youlang came back, he found that in addition to the fields given by the imperial court, most of the land obtained by the palace for so many years of "management" was divided by Qin Mu, so Zhu Youlang was also ready to go to Changsha to find Qin Mu's theory.

It's just that Ma Liuliang is stationed in Hengzhou, this guy is the heaviest bandit among the generals of the Qin army, and Zhu Youlang was so tossed by him that he almost didn't change his name and call him father.

General Zuihou Liuliang also said to Zhu Youlang confidently: "According to the system, the vassal king cannot leave the fiefdom casually without the holy decree, you have to go to Changsha to theorize, take the holy decree first." ”

Xiucai met Bing, and he couldn't explain it reasonably, Zhu Youlang was tossed a lot, and he was honest.

Qin Mu ordered Huguang Jiangxi to worship Chongzhen, the city of Beijing was broken, and the news of Chongzhen's death was learned by Zhu Youlang, who was far away in Hengyang, and his mind was also alive, and he tried his best to curry favor with General Liuliang and the prefect of Hengzhou.

Zhu Youlang flew to Changsha with a lot of treasures, and even two beauties, but unfortunately Qin Mu was faster than him, and when he arrived in Changsha, Qin Mu had already led the army to the "Northern Expedition".

Zhu Youlang didn't even care about the atmosphere, threw the treasure in Changsha, and only took two beauties to chase after him in a car, turning the two beauties into a bleak face, and his body cartilage was crisp, and he finally arrived in Jingzhou, and heard that Qin Mu was fighting with the thief army in Jingmen, and the battle situation was unknown, so he didn't dare to break into the battlefield.

When the news of Jingmen's victory reached Jingzhou, Zhu Youlang set off overnight and finally caught up when Qin Mu left Jingmen.

When Qin Mu saw him, this guy was covered in dust, almost like a refugee.

The two beauties brought with me are no better, and at a glance, they look like they are called Hanako.

However, Qin Daguan's eyes are old and spicy, and he can see through the dust on the surface and see through the inner essence, well, not bad, not bad, his facial features are beautiful, and his figure is graceful, but
