After reorganizing the troops and horses, Wang Zhizheng ordered the troops to assemble, but did not immediately order the troops to be deployed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He just asked Ryosuke and Huang Zongxi to prepare their troops and horses, enter a combat state, and be ready to send troops at any time.

Because he didn't know Li Kuilong's specific whereabouts, Wang Zhizheng only reported to the emperor and asked to order the state capitals of Zhili to seize the time to collect and find Li Kuilong's whereabouts. If there is a whereabouts, it will be smoother to capture Li Kuilong.

Wei Zhongxian also ordered his minions to step up their investigation of Li Kuilong's group traces, with the aim of cooperating with Wang Zhizheng to send troops to arrest Li Kuilong as soon as possible.

The emperor issued a holy decree, and the prefects of all provinces did not dare to slack off.

Three days later, two urgent documents from Shen Shaoxian, the prefect of Hejian, were delivered to the capital at the same time, one was directly delivered to the emperor, and the other was delivered to the desk of his "master" Wang Zhizheng.

Since Wang Zhizheng returned to Beijing from Suzhou last year and passed through Hejian Mansion, and Shen Shaoxian, the prefect of Hejian, skillfully attached to make friends, Wang Zhizheng began to woo Shen Shaoxian in various ways, rewarded him at every turn, and promised to enter Beijing as an official within two years. Shen Shaoxian had a good impression of Wang Zhizheng, and felt that he was a person who could become a great weapon, so he had already decided to follow Wang Zhizheng.

Now Shen Shaoxian sees that Wang Zhizheng has been like a dark horse in the Ming political arena for the past year, from a godgrandson of Wei Zhongxian, with his true skills, he was quickly promoted and promoted, and became the commander of the Praetorian Guard in less than a year, holding 100,000 Praetorian Guards, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition.

In the study room of the Praetorian Guard's Mansion, Wang Zhizheng picked up the documents and glanced at them, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he happily said to Jiang Nai, Wang Liangfu, Huang Zongxi and Xie Zhenglong next to him: "As expected, Li Kuilong fled to Hejian Mansion, and fell into the grass in Stone Mountain, and the bandits in Stone Mountain recommended Li Kuilong as the generalissimo. This Li Kuilong is rough in the art of war, and he is good at using the terrain, which makes Shen Shaoxian very untempered! ”

Xie Zhenglong scolded: ", Li Kuilong actually rebelled!" This kid is really fat, his family is still in the capital, and he can even ignore his family in order to survive! ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded, and said to Xie Zhenglong: "It seems that 5,000 people in a big knife battalion is not much, Zhenglong, you transfer another 1,000 elite soldiers from the Shenji battalion, this time, I will raze the bandits in Stone Mountain in one fell swoop!" ”

Xie Zhenglong said nonchalantly: "A small stone mountain, according to my old Xie, there is no need for the big sword battalion, you let me bring a thousand divine machine battalions, and I promise to bring Li Kuilong's head to see the commander within ten days." ”

Huang Zongxi next to him couldn't get used to it, he was young and vigorous, and he was the commander of the Dadao Battalion (deputy commander), how could he stand Xie Zhenglong's words. He looked at Xie Zhenglong and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Xie, your Shenji Battalion has firearms, support our Broadsword Battalion, if you think it's troublesome, you don't need to transfer the 1,000 elite soldiers of the Divine Machine, it's enough for me to take my Broadsword Battalion with you to suppress the thieves!" You don't have to do it here! ”

Xie Zhenglong smiled coldly: "Zhiyi (Huang Zongxi), I can't get used to hearing you say this, Lao Tzu is either troublesome, or he thinks it's ......."

Before Xie Zhenglong finished speaking, Jiang Nai slapped the table: "Shut up for me!" This army hasn't been sent yet, and you're fighting here! The Grand Commander will do whatever he tells you to do! Listen to the arrangement of the commander, no nonsense! ”

At this time, Xie Zhenglong, Huang Zongxi and Wang Liangfu found that Wang Zhizheng, who was sitting next to the handsome case, had a blue face and looked at the three of them without saying a word.

Knowing that the coach was suppressing his anger, the three of them didn't dare to speak, Xie Zhenglong muttered quietly.

Wang Zhizheng glanced at the three of them and said coldly, "Are you done arguing?" ”

The three of them all lowered their heads and did not speak, Wang Zhizheng nodded, and said in an unquestionable tone: "I repeat, Xie Zhenglong will immediately transfer 1,000 elite soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to accompany the army to cooperate with the advance of the Dadao Battalion." ”

Seeing that Xie Zhenglong's face was still a little unhappy, Wang Zhizheng softened his tone and said gently: "Li Kuilong, you don't understand, this person is a rough master of the art of war, and now he is shrinking in Stone Mountain, Shen Shaoxian used troops against Stone Mountain, Li Kuilong led the bandits to pieces, according to the information obtained by Shen Shaoxian, the bandits are good at sports warfare, and they are not as easy to fight as you imagined." ”

Xie Zhenglong muttered in a low voice: "It is precisely because it is not easy to fight that Zhenglong invited Yingying to go on the expedition!" ”

Wang Zhizheng looked at him patiently and explained: "The Shenji Battalion is good at military formations, but in mountain warfare, there is no place for it at all. I dispatched 1,000 Shenji Battalions to deal with the Broadsword Battalion, lure the bandits to gather, and then use the Shenji Battalion to encircle and suppress, so as to reduce casualties. Do you understand? ”

Xie Zhenglong patted his head at this time: "Okay, it turned out to be for the overall strategic deployment, the commander, Zhenglong knew that he was wrong." ”

Jiang Nai looked at Xie Zhenglong and criticized: "Don't be a hero, we are soldiers, the purpose is to win the war, this is not a competition, you don't need to show your ability, being able to win the battle is the key, understand?" ”

Xie Zhenglong hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "My subordinates understand!" ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded and said, "Okay, the three of you can do it." ”

The three of them turned and strode away.

Wang Zhizheng turned his head to Jiang Nai, who was standing beside him, and said, "Brother Jiang, this time to encircle and suppress Stone Mountain, I predict that it will take about fifteen days. During this time, there is something going on in Beijing, you and Cui Shun, Qin Yong, discuss it, keep an eye on Cui Chengxiu, Cui Chengxiu has been in the limelight recently, this time except for Li Kuilong, he will definitely be even more inflated, you keep an eye on this person and secretly collect all his bad deeds, understand? ”

Jiang Nai nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord." The three of us will discuss the affairs of Beijing, and if we can't make up our minds, I'll write to you for instructions. ”

Wang Zhizheng laughed confidently: "Your letter has not been delivered to Hejian Mansion, I should return to Beijing as a teacher!" ”

After the 1,000 elites of the Dadao Battalion and the Shenji Battalion were assembled, Wang Zhizheng was wearing armor and riding a tall horse to inspect it. This is the first time he has taken the Praetorian Guards to the battle, and for a person who has never fought before, his heart is also a little bottomless, but first, he is very smart, second, he is familiar with the art of war, and third, he has a total of two large battalions of 6,000 people, and the bandits in Stone Mountain are only about 2,000 people in total, and they are a rabble, so Wang Zhizheng is still very sure in general.

This expedition, Wang Zhizheng personally served as the commander-in-chief, Huang Zongxi, Wang Liangfu served as the deputy commander, because it was not an expedition, nor was it a large-scale battle, so there was no ceremony, so he took the soldiers and horses out of the Beijing division and went in the direction of Hejian Mansion.

From the capital to Hejian Mansion a total of 400 miles, there is Hejian prefect Shen Shao first prepared grain and grass heavy, lightly armed, all the way non-stop march, it took only four days to arrive at Hejian Mansion.
