Hong Chengchou has always believed that as long as the goal is firm, any emotions of a person are controllable, and the method of control is extremely simple, as long as the attention is slightly diverted.

Therefore, when that trace of panic floated over, Hong Chengchou lowered his head and looked at the official documents on the case.

Most of these official documents are briefings, Hong Chengchou has read them countless times, and he felt that it was not interesting, so he got up, put his hands behind his back, and paced slowly alone, and unconsciously came to the window of the attendant's room.

This is a secret of Hong Chengchou: the world is declining, even if these attendants say it to their faces, it is not as credible as what they say behind their backs. Hong Chengchou had free time, and often went to eavesdrop on their conversations, but he gained a lot.

In order to listen more carefully, so as not to disturb them, Hong Chengchou usually had to hold his breath. In fact, it is not necessary, because without the commander, these attendants are often presumptuous, and their voices are not low.

Obviously, as soon as Hong Chengchou arrived under the window, he heard a person inside sigh and said: "Born in troubled times, you should be ruthless, otherwise, the emperor will not like it, such as Lord Yang."

There is also Zhang Fuzhen Zhang, who led 4,000 troops to attack the Liukou at the beginning (1630), from Xi'an to Yan'an, all invincible. He also attacked Zhang Cunmeng in Jiazhou, chased to Xichuan, Zhang Cunmeng fled, appeased more than 30,000 of his subordinate leaders, disbanded him, and killed Lao Chai Xue Chengcai.

Moved the town to Yansui, and attacked the green-backed wolves in Qingjian County and Ganquan County. He also encircled and suppressed Liukou Zhao Shengyu in Sangbi Town, Shanxi Province, beheaded 700 in five battles and five victories, and defeated Zhang Cunmeng, who attacked Suide.

When the governor of the imperial history of the capital was extended to Sui, the rogue was flooded, and the alarm was everywhere, and Zhang raised the army, trained diligently, suppressed and appeased each other, and the governor Cao Wenzhao and so on went out to fight, and there were great gains, and the governor joined forces to defeat Zhang Cunmeng, and captured the Pingshen Yikui, before and after the beheading of Kou 10,000 levels, down tens of thousands of people, Shaanxi slightly determined.

However, his character was stubborn and unsympathetic, and he was dissatisfied with the soldiers of his headquarters because of the generous reward for the surrendered soldiers, and a mutiny occurred, and he refused to take the credit of killing the surrendered people, and finally lost his official position and was replaced by Chen Qiyu. ”

As soon as this person's voice fell, someone immediately said: "Chen Qiyu may not be ruthless, if he hadn't written a book to tell the serious situation of famine and thieves between Yanzhou and Yan'an and Zhencheng for thousands of miles, how could the emperor have issued an edict to exempt the land rent in Yan'an and Qingyang?" ”

Before the first speaker could speak, another person said: "Just by this can you say that he is not ruthless?" Not necessarily, not long after the land rent was exempted, he sent his deputy general Lu Wenshan to crusade and kill the Intercepting Mountain Tiger, Liu Thief, Golden Winged Peng and others; guerrilla Chang Huaide killed Xue Rengui; Dai Junen, who participated in politics, killed a dragon, a diamond diamond, a mountain harrier, a black god, a tiger among people, a king of five yamas, and flew immediately;

Du Si He Sixian beheaded Wang Denghuai; inspected Luo Shengchu and slashed the red wolf and flew all over the sky; Zhang Bojing, who participated in politics, beheaded the full goose, captured Huang Shenyao alive, and flew across the ditch; The garrison Yan Shiheng beheaded Zhang Cong, Fan Dengke, Fan Jirong, a piece of iron, a green-backed wolf, a pangolin, an old general, a second general, a starry sky, and a mountain tiger; beheaded the sweeping tiger Bai Shixiang;

The garrison Guo Jincheng beheaded the tiger and flew to the sky; The garrison Guo Tai cut the jumping tiger, the new general, roll on the spot, the little yellow warbler, and the rabbit on the day; guerrilla Luo Shixun beheaded General Manager Jia, forced to the sky, and the little red flag; The other generals beheaded the grass flying on the grass, a tiger, a winged flying, a cloud hand, the four heavenly kings, Xue Hongqi, and a one-tailed wolf.

There is also a drill sentry and an axe to occupy Yongning Pass. Yongning is in the east of the town, with a mountain in front of it and the Yellow River below, and it has not been able to beat it for several years.

He thought that this place could not be captured by hard fighting, so he secretly selected elite soldiers, threatened to send troops on an expedition after receiving the letter of the general system, and ordered He Renlong to lead them to the west, behind his palace, until he reached Yanchuan, and then rode his horse to the east, shouting: 'In the direction I pointed, forward!', and quietly galloped into the mountain.

The thieves did not expect the arrival of the officers and fled in panic. The officers and soldiers burned their old nests, captured more than 1,600 heads, and killed the two thieves. Later, he sent troops to attack, killing the Golden Winged Peng, a city, and capturing 550 heads. ”

The second speaker said: "It seems that you have known him specifically, otherwise, how to talk about him, it is like a treasure." ”

The man said, "Where? It's just that his reputation is too big, and it can really be described as a powerful earthquake. ”

The second speaker said "oh" and said: "This is not ruthless, the people he killed were their leaders, and most of them were sent home to farm, haven't you heard of Cao Wenzhao?" ”

This man said: "What's wrong with Cao Wenzhao?" ”

The second speaker said: "When he was in Shanxi, he killed the biggest thief leader Wang Jiayin, and after arriving in Shaanxi, he made great achievements.

Recently, together with Zhang Jiamo, he fought fiercely with thieves in Zhang Ma Village and defeated the thieves. In particular, his nephew, the guerrilla general Cao Bianjiao, the thieves had already fled to the high mountains, and they rushed up with Feng Ju, Liu Chenggong, Ping'an and others, and with the cooperation of Wang Xingshan, Gansu deputy general Li Hongsi, and staff general Mo Youjing, they won more than 520 heads.

Then, he took advantage of the victory to pursue and defeated them successively in Xianning Pass and Guanshang Town. When they caught up with Long'an, Jia Mo and Bianjiao jointly attacked and defeated them again. Thousands of remnants of the peasant army tried to flee to Hannan, but were intercepted by the guerrilla general Zhao Guangyuan, so they had to flee from Changningyi to Zhangjiachuan instead.

There was a strong force of thieves separated from Qingshui, and the deputy general Jiang Yiyang was defeated after meeting them, and Li Gongyong was arrested. Cao Wenzhao then used a counter-plot to fool the other leaders, let them kill the Red Army friends, defeated them in Shuiluocheng, and chased them to Jingning Prefecture, the thieves rushed to occupy Tangmao Mountain, and Bianjiao took the lead in attacking the mountain and annihilated them all.

After the leaders of the civil rebellion Man Tianfei, Hao Lin'an, and Liu Daojiang were defeated by Wang Chengen, they retired to Tiejiao City. Lone Wolf and Li Dusi rushed to join them and besieged Heshui hand in hand.

Cao Wenzhao went to the rescue. The thieves hid their elite troops, and only let more than a thousand cavalry come out to meet them, luring Cao Wenzhao to Nanyuan, and when he lured Cao Wenzhao to Nanyuan, the ambush army rose up. Cao Wenzhao was single-handedly surrounded by more than 10,000 thieves, but he was not afraid, he rushed back and forth with a spear in his hand, and when the reinforcements arrived, the thieves were defeated, and the corpses were all over the field, and the remnants of the peasant army fled to Tongchuan Bridge.

Cao Wenzhao led Cao Bianjiao, Feng Ju, Zhang Jiamo and their general Fang Maogong to catch up with them, charged into battle, fought desperately, and the thieves were defeated again.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Wenzhao and Ningxia General He Huchen and Guyuan General Yang Qi fought fiercely with the thieves in Ganquan Huqi and won a complete victory. Not long ago, I flew all over the sky in Pingliang. ”

After speaking, he was embarrassed.

The third speaker said: "Yes, if this continues, Cao Wenzhao's reputation will soon overshadow the Governor." ”

The first speaker said disdainfully: "The generals are different, hmph, if it weren't for the Governor's great efforts to suppress and strategize, he would have achieved such results?" However, the Governor should still keep an eye on him, this man has a lot of ideas, and he has no credit for it. ”

The second said: "Yes, when the Governor was the governor, he was wise and resolute, and after becoming the governor, although he did not shrink like Lord Yang, he was not as good as before. ”

The third person "shh ”

When the other two heard this, they fell silent.

Hong Chengchou listened for a while, but no one spoke, and he turned around as if he was lost.
