"Chen Wuxian's defeat was missing? Is this the matter accurate?"

In Wenzhou City, Ma Gongcheng had just received news of Chen Wuxian's defeat and immediately asked someone to invite Yang Xu. After hearing this, Yang Xu frowned.

"Eight out of ten." Ma Gongcheng said: "The news just sent by the brothers of Fujian Tiandihui that Lan Li had broken Dehua City, Chen Wuxian's troops fled into the mountains, and the Qing army was sending troops to search the mountains and encirclement..."

"Lan Li..." When he heard Lan Li's name, Yang Xu's eyelids couldn't help but jump. As the former general of the Qing army, Yang Xu was of course familiar with Lan Li, and he was very familiar with it.

Back then, Lan Li joined the army and made his mark under Prince Kang's subordinates. Because of his fierce fighting and fearlessness, he was quickly promoted to guerrillas and was later promoted to general. In the 21st year of Kangxi, Lan Li became the admiral of the navy and was attracted by Shi Lang and transferred to him to participate in the battle against Taiwan.

In the battle to attack Taiwan and destroy Zheng, Lan Li not only saved Shi Lang several times, but also made great contributions. It can be said that Shi Lang's first contribution to conquering Taiwan was Lan Li. Later, because his father died and was worried at home, he was reinstated by Kangxi as General Xuanhua and Dinghai, and was sealed by General Zhenshuo. He was later transferred to the position of admiral of Fujian, and was convicted of extortion by his subordinates during his tenure...

It can be said that Lan Li was a famous general in the middle of the Kangxi Dynasty. He thought that this person would never make a move after being convicted. Besides, Lan Li is now over 60 years old. Who would have thought that Kangxi actually activated this person again and asked him to lead troops to Fujian, defeating Chen Wuxian in such a short time with thunder.

"This person is not easy to deal with, not to mention that Chen Wuxian was attacked in the hinterland of Fujian, and it was not surprising that he was defeated by Lan Li, but he was defeated too quickly..." Yang Xu said solemnly.

Ma Gongcheng nodded silently. As Zhu Yicheng's generals, they certainly knew that Ningbo was dispatching troops to attack Hangzhou. If nothing unexpected happened, the Ningbo army would launch military operations against Hangzhou in the past few days. Ma Gongcheng and Yang Xu had received orders to strictly guard against Nian Gengyao in Fujian in Wenzhou area, and at the same time protect the left wing of the army to ensure that the Ming army took Hangzhou.

But who would have thought that Chen Wuxian from Fujian was defeated so quickly at this time. What is even more unsettling is that Kangxi actually activated Lan Li. This man is now carrying the troops from Guangdong and Guangxi like Fujian. After clearing down Chen Wuxian's remaining forces, he will definitely join forces with Nian Gengyao to attack Wenzhou.

With Yang Xu's understanding of Lan Li, it may be that after the news of Ningbo sending troops to Hangzhou came out, Lan Li would even speed up the speed of going north. In this way, the pressure on Ma Gongcheng and Yang Xu's divisions suddenly increased greatly. With Lan Li's fierce battle, it is not very sure whether the Wenzhou front line can be defended.

In addition, there is another thing, that is, the general of Nan'ao, Lan Yanzhen, Lan Li is the uncle of Lan Yanzhen. Once Lan Li goes north, Lan Yanzhen will never stand by. Nan'ao has a lot of troops and there is also a strong navy. If Lan Yanzhen goes up along the coast, although her strength cannot pose too much threat to Taiwan, although Lan Yanzhen's navy has no power to attack Taiwan, there will be no problem relying on the mainland to harass and defense. However, in this way, it will become difficult for the navy stationed in Taiwan to send troops to assist Wenzhou.

"Brother Yang, do you want to supervise the country? I suggest that Ningbo will postpone his expedition to Hangzhou?" Obviously, Ma Gongcheng thought of this and couldn't help asking Yang Xu for his opinion.

Yang Xu thought about it carefully and shook his head and said, "Your Highness the Superintendent sent troops to Hangzhou for the sake of the overall situation in the world. Once Hangzhou falls into the hands of our Ming Dynasty, the whole game will be alive. If we can go north to Jinling, the Qing army in Susong will become a turtle in the jar. In this way, the south of the Yangtze River will be under the hands of our Ming Dynasty, and Yuan Qi, Zhu Jiancai and other troops will also be greatly reduced."

"I know these too, but if..." Ma Gongcheng nodded first, then hesitated.

"Nothing is wrong!" Yang Xu waved his hand and immediately sneered: "Although Lan Li is strong, you and my brothers are not easy to match. Maybe we are not strong enough in attack power, but there will be no big problem in defending the defense line. Besides, Nian Gengyao from Fujian has been a turtle with his head for so long. This time Lan Li goes north, he cannot remain unmoved, just letting his brother meet this kid."

Yang Xu hated Nian Gengyao to the core. At that time, he finally asked Zhu Yicheng to step down from Taizhou to assist Ma Gongcheng in the attack on Wenzhou, in order to find Nian Gengyao to avenge him.

But who would have thought that after Nian Gengyao sent troops to the Ningbo army, news of Taiwan's capture came. Nian Gengyao, who was shocked, immediately left Wenzhou and retracted all his troops, and put on a tactic of iron barrel defense.

For several months, although the two sides had fought each other, the scale of the battle was not large. For a time, Yang Xu and others did not have a good idea to Nian Gengyao's turtle shell tactics. In addition, Taiwan had just taken it down, and Zhu Yicheng was also dispatching troops to Taiwan to defend and restore Taiwan's governance at the same time. Therefore, Wenzhou's offensive towards the south gradually slowed down, but only maintained suppression of Fujian as Zhu Yicheng's request and supported Chen Wuxian's troops in this way.

After the two discussed, they decided to report the situation of Chen Wuxian's troops to Zhu Yicheng truthfully, and at the same time said that they were determined to firmly defend the Wenzhou front line when Ningbo sent troops to Hangzhou to ensure the safety of Zhu Yicheng's army.

When Zhu Yicheng received the news, he was also a little surprised by the changes in Chen Wuxian's troops. He did not expect the Qing army to move so quickly, but as Yang Xu guessed, the arrow was now on the string and had to be fired. The army was ready and was about to rush to advance westward. It was impossible to stop at this time.

What's more, the defeat of Chen Wuxian's army also sounded a wake-up call for Zhu Yicheng. Now that Chen Wuxian in Fujian has been defeated, if Yuan Qi and Zhu Jiancai's army are also defeated, Zhu Yicheng will face a more difficult situation than now. At that time, the Qing court can free up his hands to attack Ningbo from all directions. Although Ningbo is strong and has excellent equipment, compared with the Qing court that ruled the entire land of China, Ningbo has not yet fully competed with the other party.

Therefore, as Wu Sidao said, taking down Hangzhou is an important piece of the game of chess. Only by taking down Hangzhou, disrupting the steps of the Qing army, and enhancing one's own strength, is the best response plan. As for Ma Gongcheng and Yang Xu in Wenzhou who are confident of blocking Nian Gengyao and Lan Li, they have to trust their abilities. Moreover, as long as the Hangzhou strategy is accelerated and Hangzhou is taken down as soon as possible, Zhu Yicheng will be able to free up his hands to support Wenzhou and counterattack against the enemy coming to Fujian.
