The postmen soldiers from Guangxi rushed to the Qing army camp regardless of their horsepower. When they got off the horse, they were so tired that the horse could not survive. After handing the 800-mile expedition to the admiral, the postmen soldiers were truly relieved and were relieved. If this fatal errand was taken one or two more times, they would really be exhausted to death.

"Take people down for rest and arrange food for them."

While instructing his personal soldiers to take a few postmen, Xing Guoan tear open the seal and remove the letter paper inside. The handwriting on it was indeed the font of Guangxi Governor Chen Weixin.

In the letter, Chen Weixin told Xing Guoan that there was a very bad news that the Ming army in Guangdong had carried a naval ship from Xijiang several days ago and rushed into Guangxi. About 10,000 Ming troops landed on the boats to attack Wuzhou. In order to deal with the Ming army's attack and prevent Wuzhou from being in trouble, the remaining general Ma Xiong mobilized troops from Guilin, Liuzhou and other places to help defend Wuzhou. Later, Ma Xiong took advantage of the fact that the Ming army had not yet established a stable foothold and led more than 15,000 infantry and cavalry out of the city to attack, and wanted to defeat the Ming army and then blocked the river with iron chains on the Xijiang River to prevent the Ming army from water.

The division transported more troops, but unexpectedly suffered a great defeat. In the fierce battle, Ma Xiong himself was killed, and his cavalry only escaped from more than 200 cavalry, and the rest were annihilated by the Ming army. Dozens of generals from Li Ruchun, who were fighting out of the city, were killed in battle. After leaving the city, the Han army was also defeated. Dai Liangchen, the commander of the Han army, led more than 2,000 troops to retreat into the city. After hearing the news of the defeat, Chen Weixin immediately sent more than 3,000 Guilin soldiers to Wuzhou for reinforcements. However, he was intercepted by the Ming cavalry halfway and had to retreat back to Guilin.

In the letter, Chen Weixin said bluntly that due to the lack of information, he did not know whether Wuzhou City was captured by the Ming army now. He did not have enough troops to rescue Wuzhou or repel Guiming's army, and could not even defend Guilin. Therefore, he could only send 800 miles to intensify, requesting that Guoan, the line, be able to lead troops back to Guilin immediately to prevent the Ming army from attacking the empty Guilin, Xining and Liuzhou governments of the defenders after the Ming army captured Wuzhou. After these three governments were lost, Guangxi would be fully clear. There were several ink dots at the end of the letter. You can imagine how anxious Chen Weixin was when he wrote this letter and how hurried he was when he wrote the letter.

After reading Chen Weixin's letter, Shi Guoan's hand trembled slightly with his letter. The most worrying thing finally happened. The Ming army in Guangdong, which defeated Prince Jian, King Pingnan, King Jingnan, and General Manzhou, finally freed up his hands to attack Guangxi. The total number of left-behind troops in Guangxi was only 20,000. In the battle of Wuzhou, Ma Xiong was asked to destroy more than half of it. The remaining thousands of troops were left to defend all over the place, and they could not stop the Ming army in Guangdong. If he did not return to the army to rescue, the result would be as Chen Weixin said, Guangxi would return to Ming. If he still did not return to the army, Shi Guoan had a long time ago, but when it was really time to make a decision, he was still hesitant and difficult to decide.

"What did the Governor say in his letter?"

Quanjie saw something strange from the slightly shaking hands of Shi Guoan, and he couldn't help but feel a little shocked. In his impression, the Admiral had always been in a state of collapse before the collapse of Mount Tai, but his hands were shaking today. I really don't know what scary things the governor said in this letter.

"You can see it yourself."

Xian Guoan did not say anything, but handed the letter over. After picking up the letter, he read it carefully, and his expression changed instantly. He was not surprised that Wuzhou was surrounded or captured by the Ming army, but that Ma Xiong's subordinates actually caused the Ming army to be wiped out, and only more than 200 people escaped, and Ma Xiong himself was also killed!

The combat effectiveness of the Guangdong Ming Army is really too terrifying. Although I had known about the changes in the war situation in Guangdong from the front of Guoan, Prince Jian Jidu led more than 20,000 Manchu, Mongolian and Han troops to be wiped out by the Guangdong Ming Army, Quanjie was still shocked by the strong combat effectiveness of the Guangdong Ming Army.

"Wuzhou is the gateway to Guangxi. Once occupied by the Ming army, the other three Guangxi prefectures will have no way to defend. Admiral, we may have to return to the army to rescue immediately, otherwise Guangxi will be lost." Quanjie was anxious and had no idea to return to the army to rescue immediately.

Xian Guoan looked at him, then looked at the generals with a look of shock and concern, but shook his head and said, "We won't go back."

"ah?"

All the generals were stunned, and the other generals around were stunned. The old nest was about to be taken over by the Ming army, so why did the Admiral say that he would not go to save him?

Shi Guoan glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice: "General Zhao and I have agreed in Guizhou that if the Guangdong Ming army really enters Guangxi westward, no matter how the situation in Guangxi collapses, our army will not return, because we have only one task, that is, to take Kunming!" Shi Guoan's hand suddenly pointed to Kunming. "If the Yongli court does not solve it, it will be like a century-legged insect that dies without being stiff. Those powers that embrace the Ming will fight us to the end, so we must take Kunming and capture the king first. Kunming is the heart of this century-legged insect. If we stab it in the heart with one knife, no matter how long the Guangdong Ming army can fight, it is just a leg on this century-legged insect. Without a heart, no matter how long the legs are stretched, it is just a dead thing!"

After hearing this, the generals nodded subconsciously. Quanjie was a little hesitant. He hesitated and said, "Admiral, but if we don't return to the army, Guangxi will not be able to save it. This is a province of territory. Could it be that he just gave it to the Ming army?" When he spoke, he looked solemn.

Xian Guoan sneered and said, "As long as we can take down Kunming and destroy the Yongli court, our Qing Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops entering Yunnan can run east in a flash. What can the Ming army have if it is Guangxi? Can they still defend it?"

Upon hearing this, the solemn expression gradually dissipated. He thought to himself that the Admiral was right. Even if Guangxi was occupied by the Ming army, what if it was? Yunnan, where the Yongli court is located, is about to be occupied by the Qing Dynasty. If the court and the emperor are gone, what else can the Ming army in Guangdong make trouble!

"The Ming army in Guangdong attacked our Wuzhou to enter the king of Dian. If we return to the army to rescue Guangxi, we will be trapped by them. So they attacked them, and we attacked us. Our goal is only one, that is Kunming! I think, the commander of the Ming army in Guangdong may have dreamed that I will return to the army at this moment."

"They want us to go back, but we don't go back. Kunming City is just a hundred miles away. Let's see how capable the Guangdong Ming Army is to fight behind us before Kunming City is broken." Yiqing General said.

A sudden evil light flashed in the eyes of Shi Guoan pointed to the Guangxi Prefecture City and said to the generals: "Everyone, the situation has changed now, and we cannot delay any further. You can make more preparations when you go back tomorrow. At dawn tomorrow, all the troops will attack the city together. After the city is broken, our governor will let the soldiers indulge in one day. Then we will rush to attack Kunming, destroy Zhu Youlang and then return to the army to compete with the Guangdong Ming army!"

"Thank you, Admiral!"
