Chapter 57:An Army's Food Supplies Must Come First

Zhang Yan was gone, Fu Shangrui was gone, Niu Zhongxiao also left, and most of the officers and soldiers would still go to Changsha.

Wu Chang's eyes are difficult to recover, Changsha is the future of the provincial city, Chongyang is just a small county town, in addition to blocking Xianxi and his subordinates, most people do not want to take the risk to stay here.

Even Wang Kefan also hoped to block the tin and leave Chongyang.

Although he is one of the few enlightened figures in the Nanming regime, he is not the only one who can turn around the leader, and he will be able to turn around the leader who has limited help in Chongyang, but will let himself bend his hand.This potential ally is inconvenient, and can not play any political tricks, it is best to develop their own development, if necessary, can echo each other.

Looking for a suitable opportunity, he had a heart-warning conversation with Clogne.

“In this situation, you have long-term plans?”(Clogged tin tour, the wading is his honorable name)

"This..." blocked the words of Xianxi for a moment, and sighed for a moment of silence: "The state is rotten here, only to listen to the destiny of the people, and there is no complaint ..."

Just ask for loyalty to the country, the festival is very simple, but this great head, natural achievement of the name of loyalty, but he is very clear, this is only an irresponsible practice, bear the burden of humiliation, help to determine the tilt, is the real wisdom of courage.

Due to the unexpected escape of Zuo Liangyu, the situation of the lake suddenly collapsed, after blocking Xianxi's escape from Wuchang Province, there was no time to consider the future, and there was no comprehensive long-term plan.

"Li broke and Manqing, although the coming is fierce, but I have no shortage of loyal people, as long as the public cheers, there must be countless military and civilian response, turn the tide in the collapse, to help the building will pour."Wang Kefan said: "But the late life thought that it is inappropriate for the trip to stay in Chongyang, although Chongyang is a big county, Dingkou is only more than 100,000 people, the nearby Tongcheng, Tongshan, Pu Wei are mostly similar, the land of several counties is not more than 300 miles, the city is small and low, which is not conducive to the garrison..."

He only has more than a thousand horses under his command, and the Chongyang area is enough toss, and the Chongxixi will be the highest commander of Hubei in the future, and a larger base should be found.

But he misunderstands and asks, “Why, do you also want to persuade me to go to Changsha?”

Wang Kefan shook his head.

"If you go to Changsha, Hubei no longer have a court of law, the state and county will be bound to fall, the situation is even more unmanageable."He paused, aggravating tone said: "The late life thought that the young man should be based on Changde Province, and he could cut off the Yangtze River waterway, force Jingzhou, Wuchang, and withdraw to echo with Changsha..."

Changde, located on the west side of Dongting Lake, is separated from Yuezhou, and the northern side is Jingzhou Capital, only about 100 kilometers from the Yangtze River.Because the Changde location is west-north, behind the Xiangxi Mountains, it seems that the strategic location is not important.But in fact, Changde is like a nail stuck in the waist of the lake, the strategic position is even higher than Changsha, in the future war, the army because of ignoring Changde's important surname, several Changsha battle will be dead.

If the Qing army goes south to attack Changsha, he can attack Wuchang in the north, copy the back road of the army, or cross Dongting Lake to attack Yuezhou, cut off the supply line of the Qing army, and can also return to Changsha, inside and out, so that the Qing army can be prevented.

Hunan Hubei was a province in the Ming Dynasty, there is no clear boundary between Changde, located in the middle of Huguang, blocking the tin is also left in Hubei, can unify the command of the anti-clear frontline battle, the military and the people have a boost.

In addition, because Changde is located in the west, there is Dongting Lake as a natural barrier, which can avoid the sharp edge of Li Zicheng and the Qing army and strive for valuable development time.

"Changdefu, Changde Prefecture..." Clogged Xi, his eyes gradually radiant, Changde a land, always more than Chongyang, a small county town is stronger than Chongyang.

"Well, according to Yuntai's plan, in Changde Province, the re-enactment of Jingzhou and Wuchang."He said excitedly, "I am interested in training a new army, can Yuntai help me?"

The southern Ming Dynasty was in jeopardy, the lake had become the front line, and the stung was willing to stand up and train the new army, and no one would accuse him of fighting for military power.

He obviously has the meaning of solicitation in his words, but Wang Kefan pretends not to understand: "In the end, he will be idle, and the experience of training soldiers is recorded in the book, and he can give a reference to the travel."

Help can, but will not go to Changde with you, nor can I dig my corner...

After persuading the stew, Wang Kefan returned home and unexpectedly saw Fu Shihua, who had been separated for a month.

Fu Shihua went to Jiangxi after the New Year, went home to visit his parents and family, Wang Kefan was busy with his military, did not accompany her, Xiao Yi won the new marriage, and the two did not have a warm relationship after meeting.

"Huh?"You seem to be getting big here, what’s going on?”Wang Kefan took a hand on her chest and suddenly made an unexpected discovery.

Fu Shihua's face was red, a look of shame and joy, and whispered in his ear, "That, I am pregnant..."

“Really!”Wang Kefan suddenly opened his eyes: "How long, how can I not know?"

"I've been looking for Lang at home, it's been three months."Fu Shihua's eyes are Mimi, the corners of the mouth are bent, with three points of accomplishment, three points of naughty, laughing and pushing away Wang Kefan's clutch on his chest: "I have a body, of course, it will get bigger here, because you still lead the soldiers to fight, do you not know that the soldiers and horses have not moved, the reason for the grain and grass first..."

Rattle you are a hundred steelmaking, eventually transformed into a soft round finger, although the father is a man standing on the ground, these months together with the bed, early into the gentle countryside of the slave family, now it is the pearly knot, only waiting for melon ripening.

"Oh, I knew I shouldn't let you go to Jiangxi, and I was afraid of moving my fetal breath back and forth."Wang Kefan's heart throbbing, after crossing there is always a kind of loneliness in the wilderness, and now life has continued, and a strong sense of responsibility immediately surged in his heart.

It is necessary to send Fu Shihua away, and Liu's family to Changsha, and send it to a safe place in the back.The last time the water bandits attacked Chongyang, Liu and Fu Shihua were determined not to withdraw, Wang Kefan did not want to come back again, to prepare for war, ready to fight the big war, we must first solve the worries.

When she found Liu, she did not object, only wanted to go with her son, Wang Kefan repeatedly comforted the explanation, and convinced her.Liu's family also mentioned the second son Wang Kebin, to take him away together, in Changsha to find another college to study, can not delay the school.

Wang Kefan agreed to come down, the husband and wife turned to go out, he suddenly remembered one thing, asked Fu Shihua: "You go to Jiangxi this time, see the uncle, huh, I taught you the words to bring?" 」

Wang Kefan's face was serious.

Fu Shihua came from Jiangxi into the sage of the great family, the uncle Fu Guan served as the Chongchen during the year of the gift of the book, in two months, Li Zicheng will die in Hubei Jiu Gongshan, the peasant army remnants all the way to burn anger, into Jiangxi, Fu Guan's family killed clean, Fu Shihua's parents are not immune.

In order to avoid becoming a mortal enemy with the peasant army, and to avoid Fu Shihua's sadness, she specially asked Fu Guan to leave with her family.

...

The situation was tense, Wang Kefan was very popular, and after calling back Wang Kebin, he found a night ship the next evening and sent his family along the waterway to Changsha.

Waving goodbye, the ship left the dock, Wang Kefan turned to go, behind him suddenly came the sound of "peng-", "hun-", turn around to see, Fu Shihua is sitting in the bow, hand caressing the harp and singing, singing politely.

She used the dialect of Gan Yue, Wang Kefan did not understand, but could feel the friendship contained in it, and the song seemed to be telling about love, talking about sweetness, and a hint of hidden humility.The husband and wife looked at each other, the ship was getting farther and farther away, and Fu Shihua's singing was finally unheard of.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded next to him, and an old boatman hummed along the tune.

“Dad, this song, will you sing?”

"In the words of the Lord, the old man was also a windy figure on the river, a mountain singing out, the girls on both sides of the strait lost their souls..." The old boatman was full of wind and frost, but he smiled very cheerfully: "Why, don't you understand?"It’s so beautiful to look at the blind!”

Under the guidance of the old boatman, Wang Kefan knew the content of the mountain song, the last sentence of which made him excited.

"The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart of the king does not know.";
