Chapter 807: The Situation in Huguang

Zhu Jie did not give a clear explanation to the ministers, but the next situation is indeed more confusing, although Zuo Liangyu was killed, but Ma Shiying is getting more and more fierce, no matter how powerful the imperial sailor is, he is also powerful on the water, leaving the rivers, lakes and seas, the sailor is not a fart.

The most trembling thing in Nanjing is that the situation in Huguang has deteriorated further, just on the way to Wuchang by Sun Chuanting, the Southern Route Army of the Great Western Army has already taken Changsha, and Liu Wenxiu led tens of thousands of troops from Changsha to Wuchang Mansion, ignoring other state capitals in Hunan, and taking Wuchang Mansion first.

Liu Wenxiu led the army to break through to the territory of Wuchang Mansion for 400 miles in a few days, and it was only 200 miles away from Wuchang Mansion.

At this time, Huang Degong was under the attack of Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang on both sides, the battle was ineffective, the casualties in Luzhou Town were too heavy, and he had to give up Chengtianfu and retreat in the direction of Wuchang Mansion, Wuchang Mansion was faced with Zhang Xianzhong's army of three ways, and the situation became more and more critical, especially Liu Wenxiu, after taking Changde Mansion and Changsha Mansion, he plundered civilians and expanded the army all the way, and now the troops under Liu Wenxiu's command have exceeded 80,000 people, and the troops are becoming more and more abundant.

Huang Degong's Luzhou Town is only twenty or thirty thousand people, after a series of wars, the attrition is serious, and now there are only more than 20,000 people, not to mention resisting Zhang Xianzhong's three-way army, even in the face of one of the armies, the troops are too insufficient, Yuan Jixian and Huang Degong are trapped in Wuchang Mansion, worried, I really don't know when I can wait for the help of the imperial court, and now Zuo Liangyu in Jiangxi is reversed, and the imperial court has no energy to take care of Huguang.

Now Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang have two armies, and Huang Degong can still hold out for a while by taking advantage of the topography of Wuchang Mansion, but once Liu Wenxiu's army pounces and launches a siege in three directions at the same time, then Wuchang Mansion will definitely not last too long.

Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang surrounded Wuchang Mansion, originally to wait for Liu Wenxiu's army to come up, and then launch a siege together, hundreds of thousands of troops besieged Wuchang Mansion, with sharp artillery, it took less than ten days and half a month to make Wuchang Mansion change hands, and at that time, no matter how powerful Huang Degong was, he could only slip away.

Zhang Xianzhong had such confidence, but at this time, two pieces of news came to Wuchang Mansion one after another, one good news and one bad news.

The first thing I received was bad news, Sun Chuanting defeated Zuo Liangyu in Nanchang in one fell swoop, Zuo Liangyu was killed by Gao Jie under the city of Nanchang, 100,000 troops were wiped out in an instant, Sun Chuanting concentrated the army, and rushed all the way to Wuchang Mansion, without Zuo Liangyu's entanglement, it would not take long to kill directly to Wuhan, and at that time, Sun Chuanting's tens of thousands of troops joined the war group, and Zhang Xianzhong was not sure of victory.

In front of Sun Chuanting, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated in almost every battle, and was beaten by Sun Chuanting, and even twice Zhang Xianzhong almost confessed his life, Zhang Xianzhong was extremely jealous of Sun Chuanting and Gao Jie.

"Damn Zuo Liangyu, why is this kid so stupid, even if he is not Sun Chuanting's opponent, it is not difficult to entangle Sun Chuanting and nail him to death in Jiangxi, right? 100,000 troops, Sun Chuanting is just two military towns, 40,000 people, no matter how powerful Sun Chuanting is, in two or three months, Sun Chuanting wants to swallow Jiangxi Town! It's only been a few days, and from Sun Chuanting's expedition to Zuo Liangyu's defeat, it didn't take more than a month together! Rubbish! Rubbish! Zuo Liangyu is an out-and-out waste! ”

Zhang Xianzhong scolded angrily, but now that Zuo Liangyu has been defeated, it is all nonsense to say so much, and it will not help.

Not only Zhang Xianzhong, but even Sun Kewang was already frowning, this is not a joke, Sun Chuanting was able to annihilate Zuo Liangyu's 100,000 army in a month, it can be seen that the 40,000 troops under his command are extraordinary, and the Luzhou Town under Huang Degong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the combination of the two forces is enough to pose a sufficient threat to the Great Western Army.

From Nanchang Mansion to Wuchang Mansion, the distance between the two is only 600 miles, and it will take less than 20 days to reach Wuchang Mansion on the march, and if it is replaced by cavalry, it will be enough to reach Wuchang Mansion in even ten days. In ten days, Wuchang Mansion was taken, even if there were many soldiers in Daxi, and now the two of them are absolutely not sure to take Wuchang!

Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang were depressed to the extreme, they really didn't expect Zuo Liangyu to lie down so soon, they didn't expect it at all, originally, the two of them thought that with Zuo Liangyu entangled Sun Chuanting for two months, the Great Western Army could take the entire Huguang Province as its own, and even stabilize the situation in the entire Huguang Province, now it's okay, in just over 20 days, Zuo Liangyu is finished!

Sun Chuanting will never give himself too long to besiege Wuchang Mansion, absolutely not!

"Your Majesty, what should we do next? Or, order Liu Wenxiu to stay in the Jiujiang area, resist Sun Chuanting's footsteps, and we will concentrate all our efforts to take Wuchang Mansion? ”

Su Kewang asked.

Zhang Xianzhong said helplessly: "For the sake of today's plan, I can only do this, but although Liu Wenxiu has 80,000 or 90,000 troops, however, there are only 20,000 or 30,000 elites with strong combat power, but I am afraid that it is not Sun Chuanting's opponent......"

"Half a month, as long as Liu Wenxiu can withstand half a month, then we can get a month and a half, and a month and a half is almost enough for us to take Wuchang Mansion......"

Sun Kewang replied.

Indeed, Sun Chuanting is just in a hurry, and it will be delayed for twenty days, if Liu Wenxiu can withstand Sun Chuanting for more than half a month, one and a half months, it is enough for Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang to take Wuchang Mansion, but what if they can't stand it? Zuo Liangyu's 100,000 army is only stronger than the current Liu Wenxiu, not weaker, and it has only lasted for more than ten days, how much stronger can Liu Wenxiu be than Zuo Liangyu?

Just when the two of them were at a loss, another piece of information came to Wuchang Mansion, this time it was not unfavorable news, but favorable news, good news!

Ma Shiying raised a banner in Fengyang Mansion to rebel, spread the word to the world, and called on everyone in the world to fight against the traitor Zhu Jie, and return the government to the descendants of the Zhu family, at the same time, Ma Shiying directly sent troops, first ordered the generals to take Xuzhou, occupied the Caoyun hub, and then ordered the generals to occupy Anqing Mansion in one fell swoop, and mastered the most important military town in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River!

Anqing Mansion, Anqing Mansion has fallen into the hands of Ma Shiying!
