Chapter 163: Han Cheng is in a hurry

Fengxiang Mansion in southern Shaanxi, since Wu Yangui's peasant army was defeated, Wang Jiayin decisively ordered all troops and horses to retreat westward and poured into Fengxiang Mansion.

Fengxiang Mansion is not as good as Xi'an Mansion, the area here is wide, the army is empty, and the peasant army seems to be a fish into the sea, and it will sweep the entire Fengxiang Mansion in a blink of an eye. Recently, the only thing Wang Jiayin has done is to absorb the remnants of Wu Yangui.

In more than ten days, important leaders such as Li Yangchun, the Four Heavenly Kings, Wang Yan of a Gust of Wind, and Yingshan Honghua Xiaorong all took refuge in him. Wang Jiayin received these people with a warm attitude, and promised Li Yangchun an important position, and did not use the soldiers and horses under their hands. Before Li Yangchun and the others came, they were worried that Wang Jiayin would disrupt the soldiers and horses in their hands, but they didn't expect the other party to be so generous, so everyone was happy and convinced of Wang Jiayin.

With the arrival of Li Yangchun and others, Wang Jiayin's power swelled rapidly again, and his strength has exceeded 130,000, and his strength has caught up with Wu Yangui, who originally owned Yan'an Mansion. However, Wang Jiayin is a little stronger than Wu Yangui, don't look at the strength under his hands is a lot stronger, but he is not arrogant enough to have the courage to fight head-on with the officers and soldiers. Thinking about Wu Yangui's fate, you can know how unreliable the combat effectiveness of the peasant army is.

Wu Yangui had the advantage of troops, and he really fought, but the officers and soldiers were defeated and died.

The officers and soldiers went south, and the target was directly at Fengxiang Mansion, Wang Jiayin had already known it, but he had nothing to be nervous about. Before the officers and soldiers came, Wang Jiayin was ready to continue to retreat to the northwest. In the northwest, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the troops are very empty, and the officers and soldiers can only follow behind to eat loess.

In this atmosphere, Li Zicheng, who had worked hard to escape, finally came to Fengxiang Mansion with his cronies and horses. came with Li Zicheng, as well as Zhang Yichuan, the sweeping king.

Wang Jiayin has some impressions of Li Zicheng, when Li Zicheng led his troops to rebel, which made Wu Yangui win. Most of the leaders in the peasant army are from the bottom, and there are still very few people like Li Zicheng who have military experience and have been generals, and Li Zicheng still has more than 2,000 border soldiers under his hands.

For various reasons, Wang Jiayin still values Li Zicheng very much, especially when he met, he had a better impression when he saw Li Zicheng's lofty and extraordinary bearing. Wang Jiayin was relieved, and planned to let Li Zicheng join his personal team, but there was one person who was more anxious than Wang Jiayin, and this person was Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang.

The relationship between Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng is not ordinary, Gao Yingxiang is Li Zicheng's uncle. What's more, Gao Yingxiang does lack a real confidant around him, so naturally there is no reason for his nephew to follow others.

Zhang Cunmeng, who is not in the mud, also intended to pull Li Zicheng to his side to help train the troops, but Gao Yingxiang stood up, and he had no chance.

Wang Jiayin also just learned that Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng actually had this relationship, so naturally there was no need to be a villain, so he casually arranged Li Zicheng to Gao Yingxiang's side. It's just that Wang Jiayin is very puzzled, since there is such a relationship, why did Li Zicheng have to take refuge in Wu Yangui in the first place? When Li Zicheng just joined Wu Yangui's command, he never heard Gao Yingxiang mention it.

Li Zicheng plotted against the rebellion and took refuge in the peasant army, such a big thing, didn't he talk to Gao Yingxiang?

After everything was agreed, Li Zicheng expressed his gratitude to Wang Jiayin. In the evening, everyone dispersed, Li Zicheng and Zhang Yichuan walked side by side, and when they came to the gate, the two arched their hands and looked at each other with complicated expressions.

"Brother Zhang, without your help, Li's life would have been left on Phoenix Ridge."

The corners of Zhang Yichuan's mouth twitched, and a sneer flashed, "Why should Brother Li be modest, he was able to escape, thanks to Brother Li's clever plan." However, in the future, there should not be many opportunities for you and my brother to meet, but it's a pity. ”

"yes, it's a pity!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, but didn't say much, and each walked in a different direction.

Zhang Yichuan will never forget what happened in Phoenix Ridge, and when Li Zicheng shouted that sentence, he was stunned. It can be said that Li Zicheng's words buried the life of Leader Wu. But he won't tell anyone about it, because Zhang Yichuan is also an accomplice. Don't say it, but it doesn't mean that you recognize Li Zicheng.

At the beginning on Phoenix Ridge, if his cronies hadn't found him first, I am afraid that he would have died in the hands of Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng seems to be generous, but in fact he is ruthless and decisive. Li Zicheng will be able to succeed sooner or later, but he, Zhang Yichuan, does not dare to follow Li Zicheng, and when he thinks of the incident in Phoenix Ridge, his heart is like pressing a stone.

This time, Wang Jiayin decided to divide his troops and retreat to the northwest in two ways, Wang Ziyong one way, Gao Yingxiang one way, Zhang Yichuan decisively chose to throw himself into the mud Zhang Cunmeng, and withdrew with Wang Ziyong. If you go under Gao Yingxiang, sooner or later you will have to be killed by Li Zicheng.

Two days later, the officers and soldiers led by Cao Wenzhao arrived in Xi'an, and the peasant army at this time also divided into two routes and withdrew to the northwest.

Cao Wenzhao did not chase after him, but ran to the northwest to chase the peasant army, only a fool can do this kind of thing.

Now the two most powerful peasant armies in Shaanxi, Wu Yangui, have been exterminated, and Wang Jiayin wants to withdraw from the northwest. It is said that Shaanxi should restore calm, but two days after Wang Jiayin withdrew, another incident happened in Shaanxi.

Out of nowhere, a peasant army suddenly came out of the west and surrounded Hancheng in an instant. For a time, the officers and men of the entire Shaanxi were taken aback.

It is true that Hancheng is a small city, but Yang He, the governor of the three sides, is still in Hancheng. If the peasant army breaks through Hancheng and captures Yang He alive, then all the officers and soldiers in Shaanxi will become a big joke. Under the anger of the imperial court, he had to cut off a bunch of heads.

No one knows where this peasant army came from, and at this time, Yang He and Hong Chengchou in Hancheng were also anxious like ants on a hot pot.

This peasant army was very different from the peasant army seen before, and after this peasant army surrounded Hancheng, it did not attack the city, nor did it do anything excessive to the villages and towns outside the city. They were stationed outside the city, and they were disciplined and did nothing to the people.

Hong Chengchou sent people to investigate in many ways, and soon figured out who his opponent was.

There were two people who led this peasant army, one was the Marquis of Tianji, and the other was Miao Mei, the king of Shaanxi thieves.

Different from history, in this time and space, due to the reason of iron and ink, Wang Zuojiao and Miao Mei hesitated for a long time in Mapi Mountain, and they also brought elite soldiers under their cronies, and they were by no means as hasty as the original history, and they were forced to helplessly attack Hancheng with a group of hungry people. So, naturally, the situation is also different. At this time, Hong Chengchou did not flee all the way with a group of rabble to kill the other party as in history.

Hong Chengchou had a headache, if it was a group of ordinary rebels, he was confident that he would be able to fight them with the officials and young men in the city, but in the face of such a disciplined rebel party, he didn't have the courage to go out of the city to fight.

There are only more than 200 guards in Hancheng, dozens of servants, and the young and strong people who have been temporarily organized are even more ignorant, such a group of people can be called a rabble.
