It is a matter of life and death, where do the rebels from all walks of life dare to slacken, and after a few days, it has been discovered:

The number of officers and men in the south, east, west, and north has been reduced, especially in the north, and although the campaign is still being carried out with great fanfare, there are actually not many officers and men left.

Chuang Wang Yingxiang sneered: "Wang Jiazhen's abacus is good, but it's a pity, we can't deviate from his way, let's go north, rush out, and go to Xi'an." ”

The leaders and generals of the rebel army from all walks of life were puzzled: "Xi'an is the defense area of Hong Chengchou, which is more fierce than Wang Jiazhen, I am waiting to go, isn't it just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth?" ”

Chuang Wang Yingxiang shook his head and said, "Why does Wang Jiazhen want to send more soldiers from the north?" Because the terrain to the north is more dangerous, he decided that we would not break through from the north. If we break through from the north, we will be surprised.

In the same way, if we go to Xi'an, we will be able to surprise Hong Chengchou. The more unexpected it is, the greater our hope of success.

What's more, because Zhang Xianzhong suddenly turned into Henan, Hong Chengchou turned all his forces to Zicheng, and Zicheng's department was like a fish swimming into the ice, unable to move at all.

Alas, in the past two years, many rebel armies have been annihilated or defeated by officers and soldiers, and there are only a few ways left, only when everyone is alive, can there be more room for activities, and the possibility of survival can be greater. ”

Everyone nodded yes.

Chuang Wang Yingxiang said: "Okay, since everyone thinks so, go back to prepare, and after entering the shift, take advantage of the slack of officers and soldiers to break through." ”

Chuang Wang Yingxiang expected it to be good, this fruit is Wang Jiazhen's strategy of "opening the net to treat the enemy". After the deployment was completed, Wang Jiazhen personally sat in the south to command.

It was day, and the night was already deep, Wang Jiazhen was still standing in front of the map and thinking hard, and the Chinese army persuaded: "At this time, the rogue should not move again today, the prime minister should go and rest for a while." ”

Wang Jiazhen sighed and said: "The thief in front of him is already a turtle in the urn, so there is no need to worry, what I am worried about is that Yang Si, the giant thief of Wuyang, and his party Guo Sanhai and Hou Yumin."

He was summoned by Chen Biqian, the governor of Henan, and later rebelled, burned, killed and looted, and harmed the locality, arousing great public indignation. Lu Xiangsheng sent troops to kill him several times, but to no avail.

I plan to order Nanyang Tongzhi Wannian Policy and Tang Kaiyuan, the supervisor and discipline promoter, and the generals Zuo Liangyu, Mou Wenshou, Zu Kuan and other teachers will join Wuyang, and adopt the tactics of encircling Yang Si with four walls, pulling nets to encircle and suppress Yang Si, and strive to exterminate Yang Si and his henchmen in one month. ”

Zhongjun said sincerely: "The Prime Minister is very worried, if Yang Si can be eliminated this time, it will be a great achievement." ”

Wang Jiazhen said: "There is no way, the number of people asking for food and salary for soldiers and horses in various places is increasing sharply every day, and the books and documents of the provinces and ministries need to be reviewed and approved, and the only way at the moment is to destroy the thieves as soon as possible." ”

The Chinese army was about to speak, Qin Yiming hurriedly came in and said, "It's bad, the Liukou broke through from the north." ”

When Wang Jiazhen heard this, blood surged into his head, and he hurriedly said: "Chase after them, you can't let them escape." ”

Qin Yiming said: "It's too unexpected, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

"Too late? Alas, if the emperor knows about this matter, it will be terrible, and there is no way but to exterminate Yang Si to make meritorious contributions. ”

Thinking about it, Wang Jiazhen said fiercely: "Order them to immediately start the plan to eliminate Yang Si." ”

After Chuang Wang Yingxiang led his troops to break through the siege, he saw that there were no pursuers behind, so he relieved himself and ordered the generals to take a short rest, that is, to go straight to Xi'an according to the plan.

As they were marching, the Chinese army came to report: "Qi Yu Chuang Wang, I found that there are officers and soldiers in the first ten miles, and they seem to be rushing towards our department, please make a decision quickly." ”

"There are officers and soldiers? Rush to me? Chuang Wang Yingxiang asked rhetorically, and couldn't help thinking: "The key to attacking Xi'an is to be surprised, if it is a stalemate with the officers and soldiers, not to mention 50,000 troops, even if there are more than 100,000, I am afraid that it will not be able to work." ”

Thinking about it, King Chuang Yingxiang said, "Stop moving forward for the time being, and wait for the order." ", continued to ponder.

Suddenly, King Chuang Yingxiang remembered a place, where? The Meridian Road called during the Three Kingdoms period went directly to Zhouzhi Heishuiyu through the Meridian Road.

"Since the officers and soldiers are in front, they will not expect that we will go there, just by surprise, hmph, maybe we can take Xi'an in one fell swoop, not only to relieve the siege of Zicheng, but also to take advantage of the situation to take Shaanxi.

Zhuge Liang didn't dare to leave back then? Not only do we know about this, but the officers and men certainly know even more. Let's deviate, I don't believe the officers and soldiers can expect it. ”

After making up his mind, King Chuang Yingxiang said "follow me" and drove the horse first.

The Meridian Valley is a small road, very narrow and surrounded by high mountains on both sides. It was July again, and it was raining heavily, making the roads difficult to walk. Hundreds of miles of mountain roads, Gao Yingxiang's 50,000 troops walked for more than ten days, and finally arrived at Heishuiyu.

King Chuang Yingxiang reined in the reins of the horse and said smugly: "It's a pity that the officers and soldiers didn't expect us to go here, if they can expect it, arrange a group of men and horses here, and I will rest." ”

The words did not fall, but I saw that Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, led the Qin soldiers to kill.

It turned out that not long after Sun Chuanting took over as the governor of Shaanxi, he secretly detained the family members of Zhang Er, the personal guard of King Chuang Yingxiang, and Zhang Er had no choice but to surrender to him.

After Zhang Er surrendered, Sun Chuanting treated his family well, but never asked him to do anything. Zhang Er felt ashamed, and took advantage of the opportunity sent by Wang Yingxiang to go out, and secretly told Sun Chuanting the route of action.

Sun Chuanting was overjoyed, so he set up suspicious soldiers, led Wang Yingxiang to take the meridian road, and he personally led the Qin soldiers to ambush in Heishuiyu, and he had been recuperating for more than half a month.

Chuang Wang Yingxiang didn't want the encounter in the carriage gorge to happen again, so he shouted "quick retreat" and turned to leave.

Helpless, the combat power of the Qin soldiers is comparable to that of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and they are eager to fight, and the troops of the king are already sleepy and lacking, and the road of the meridian road is difficult to walk.

After three days of fierce fighting, the headquarters of King Chuang Yingxiang completely collapsed, and King Chuang Yingxiang was also seriously injured and had to hide in a cave with several cronies.

Sun Chuanting personally led people to launch a search, because this cave was extremely secret, and Sun Chuanting did not find out.

Zhang Er was in a hurry, rushed out of the cave and shouted: "King Gao Chuang is here!" ”

King Chuang Yingxiang and several other cronies immediately understood, and the other cronies rushed over to cut them in two before King Chuang could speak.

When Sun Chuanting saw it, he led his troops to surround him, and several other cronies died in battle, and Wang Yingxiang committed suicide in time and was tied up by the officers and soldiers.

Sun Chuanting coerced and lured, intending to let King Chuang Yingxiang come forward to trap or surrender the rebels, Chuang Wang Yingxiang was actually mighty and unyielding, Sun Chuanting was helpless, and said: "Jinggi has just been captured by the Qing soldiers, the emperor must be in a bad mood, escort to the capital, add a good mood to the emperor." ”
