On the eighth day of the second month of the sixth year of the first year, the army gathered in Yunnan began to set off and rushed towards Hunan. Due to the hasty time, the food and salary transportation was not enough. The 100,000 expeditionary troops only brought rations for ten days and marched on foot. They first entered Guizhou along the way, and then rushed into the Hunan border.

After a brief rest, 10,000 vanguards led by Li Xiao took the lead in Loudi. They were surrounded by mountains and were full of steep peaks and marching was extremely difficult. In desperation, the vanguard army could only give up large-scale war equipment to climb mountains and cross ridges and walk along the winding mountain road.

This is in early spring, with blooming flowers dotted among the mountains. The cloudy peaks blocked the Ming army due to natural barriers. Li Xiao looked at the surrounding terrain and frowned. The time for the vanguards agreed to be in ten days, which means that the vanguard army must arrive at the city of Changsha within ten days. In such a short time, it is difficult to cross such a terrain and then hurry to the city of Changsha. Fortunately, the Ming army has hiking and cross-country subjects during the training of recruits. Even if they are assigned to each battalion, they have to run five kilometers in the early morning. Although they are overdrawn, the military order is as high as a mountain, and everyone is trying to persist. It is not impossible to arrive in Changsha after ten days.

"Sir General, here are the mountains and mountains, and the terrain is very dangerous. If the Qing army set up a team of ambush here, it would probably be abducted." A general who was riding with Li Xiao was full of worries. They had seen the sand table of Loudi terrain. At that time, they didn't think the undulating terrain in the sand table was so terrifying. Now that they are in the scene, they feel how dangerous it is.

This sentence reminded Li Xiao. Li Xiao frowned and stopped and stopped. Teams of troops passed by him. Many people's physical strength had reached their limits, and their expressions were full of a look of sluggishness. If the Qing army set up an ambush here at this time, something might be a big deal.

Although Kohado's false surrender and Li Xiong's words were very credible, they were afraid of anything, but if something went wrong, it was not fun. Once a hundred thousand elite Ming army was ruined, the past few years of eastern and western conquests would be in vain. Li Xiao waved his hand and said to the general: "Go back quickly to report the message to the Central Army, let them go slowly for now. It is thirty miles away from our army. Don't get too close. In addition, please ask General Mu to lead a team of surprise soldiers behind the palace to find another way. Once the vanguard army and the Central Army are in ambush, you can immediately kill a way out for rescue."

The general nodded and drove his horse back and walked away. Li Xiao stopped and watched. The more he felt that this place was a dead place. Because the road was narrow and winding, the ten thousand Ming army was five or six miles long in the march, and the head and tail could not echo. Once someone in the mountains broke out, the Ming army could be cut into four or five sections. At that time, there would be no unified command and no contact, and he would become a turtle in the jar. Li Xiao did not dare to take this risk.

The fast horse of the general rushed back quickly, and in half an hour he ran into the central army brigade that followed him, and reported to Li Dingguo under the guidance of the soldiers along the way.

Li Dingguo's central army was in the front team, Mu Jianming and Li Xiong were accompanying him. Li Xiong included all kinds of elephants on his chest, and talked with Li Dingguo to quote classics, which made Li Dingguo highly valued. Even Mu Jianming listened to the wonderful side. Li Dingguo thought that Li Xiong was a talent and was thinking about recommending him in his heart. He saw a pedestrian coming from afar. Li Dingguo raised his eyes and recognized that the man was the general beside his son, so he waited on the horse. When the general came to dismount and saw the greeting, Li Dingguo asked: "General Wu, is there any news about the vanguard army?"

General Governor said, "The last general is here to report to General Li." General Governor hesitated to look at Li Xiong behind Li Dingguo, and closed his mouth with a hint of embarrassment.

Li Xiong tactfully moved the horse's reins and said, "Go down there and take a look." After that, he pulled the horse away to the other side.

A trace of suspicion flashed in Li Dingguo's eyes. General Li Xiao's words were conveyed one by one. He also described the terrain ahead with an eloquence. Li Dingguo listened carefully and felt suspicious. He was a long-standing person and was wary of everything. Although Li Xiong did not seem to have any problems, he was still willing to act carefully. Nodded and said, "General Li is concerned about Jianming. You lead a team of troops to open up a new path. The central army must also move forward slowly. Don't act too rush. Let General Li be more careful. Even if he delays reaching Changsha, it doesn't matter much."

The general nodded and turned his head and left. Li Dingguo was the general officer of the expedition this time. Mu Jianming received the general order and also went to convene the headquarters. Li Dingguo's horse was stroking his beard and looked into the distance. The doubts came out again. He always felt that something was wrong. But there was no flaw in the past few days. He was confused about his thoughts.

"Prince. Why did the central army stagnate?" Seeing the Ming army suddenly changing its plan, Li Xiong slapped over. He felt cold in his heart. The target of the ambush was the central army. Taking advantage of the hasty and urgent work of the central army, he suddenly launched a raid in two valleys. Only then could he take advantage of the chaos to escape. As long as the Ming army surrounded the central army and rely on the surrounding mountains to trap it. The Ming army carried insufficient food and grass, and was exhausted. He was intercepted for

It can echo each other from afar. This is his plan. If the Ming army is divided into a front and Mu Jianming's troops are on the side, even if it surrounds the central army, then the forward is pointed at the back. Mu Jianming will rush to help from the flanks and form a horn. This bag will be like breaking several big holes and will not have any effect.

Li Dingguo glanced at Li Xiong and saw that his face was normal. He was just a little confused. Therefore, he did not doubt him. He explained: "This place is at its end. It is a place where military strategists will die. Be careful and always be good. Don't worry. The vanguard is hiking forward day and night. General Li must go to the city of Changsha first. He will still be able to seize Changsha at that time."

Li Xiong was secretly anxious. On the surface, he did not dare to reveal any flaws. He smiled reluctantly and said, "The prince is well arranged. He can be foolproof."

Li Dingguo shook his head and said, "It's not the case. Let's go here for a day. Let's wait for the forward to get news before rushing. The soldiers are tired from the journey. It's time to take a rest. Come on, order the three armies to camp on the spot, get water and bury pots, and boil some hot water to warm the soldiers."

Li Dingguo turned over and got off the horse. He was nearly fifty years old and his health was not as strong as before. He issued several military orders with a tired face, pulled Li Xiong's sleeve and said, "If Mr. Li is energetic, how about accompanying me to play a game?"

Li Xiong had no choice but to take one step at a time, and responded quickly: "Li dares not obey orders, the prince is so good, I only hope that the prince can show mercy." ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the mountain stream with continuous veins, a team of Qing soldiers wearing zither clothes and eating bird guns were hiding while hiding. In the upper reaches of a stream, Kojado's big tent stood on one side, while the rest of the Qing soldiers sat cross-legged around the big tent. They had been waiting here for a day. The spies who were traveling through the forest had returned to report that the vanguard of the Ming army had passed the flying tiger stream in front.

Feihujian is located between Shuangfeng Mountain and Laizi Ridge. Both sides are high peaks that can reach the clouds. There is only a small path in the middle. Kojado's ambush is near these two peaks. Li Xiao's vanguard army passed by here. Kojado did not take any action, but quickly took back the scouts and ordered the three armies to lurk. His target was the central army of the Ming army, not a vanguard. As long as the central army of the Ming army was surrounded, the Ming army would no longer be able to toss.

Kohado's throat was about to emerge. The encounters in the past few days were too exciting. Originally, he was just an unknown general of the white flag. He might still be a character in Hunan, but he became a little fish and shrimp when he arrived in the capital. This was also the biggest reason why he had a relationship with Suksaha but was not cleaned. He has always lived in many shadows, trying to save his job, but also afraid of being punished. Finally, an opportunity came. He met Li Xiong and recruited him. Just when Hunan was surrounded by the Ming army on three sides, Li Xiong proposed an almost impeccable plan. As long as this plan was implemented smoothly, Kohado would become a great hero of the Manchus, a peerless general of the Qing Dynasty, and it was time for the salted fish to turn over.

Kojado arrived at the ambush site early. The green camp soldiers he ordered were only 10,000, which was worth mentioning compared to the 100,000 Ming troops. However, these were all elites and very reliable. The mountains here were steep. As long as the Qing army guarded all intersections, even if there were a million people in the Ming army, they could not escape the siege again. What's more, their food and grass were not allowed to continue. As long as they hungered for a few days, they would be completed. Kojado had reported to the green camps of various provinces. He believed that as long as they suddenly launched a surprise attack on the central army of the Ming army and divided them and surrounded them for a few days, reinforcements from various provinces would come continuously, and the Ming army also lost its morale due to lack of food and clothing.

Kohado was extremely nervous and extremely proud. This plan was perfect. On the surface, he sent Li Xiong out to surrender. At this time, the Ming army would certainly have some doubts and was unsure. Then Li Xiong deliberately claimed that it was a fraudulent surrender. The Ming army suddenly realized that he had solved the mystery. It was natural to use a plan to rush to Changsha to give a fatal blow to Kohado who was fraudulent surrender. They could never have thought that surrender was fake, and fraudulent surrender was fake. The real purpose was to confuse them and deceive them into thinking that the main force of the Qing army was under Changsha City, allowing them to quickly go to Changsha. In fact, there was already a team of surprise soldiers waiting for them on this halfway.

Kojado sat at the top of the commander's account, and the other generals and assistants attended the left and right, with inexplicable excitement on their faces. Kojado glanced around and said, "The vanguard of the Ming army has passed, so the central army may not be far from here. You must restrain the soldiers and must not leave the team easily, let alone make fire at will. As long as the main force of the Ming army arrives, he will obey the orders of the general and make a concerted effort to win this unparalleled contribution."
