Chapter 138: Assemble the Old Camp Fort

At the end of the first year of Chongzhen, Wu Yangui divided his troops with Wang Jiayin after attacking Shanxi.

Wang Jiayin's troops went out of Tongchuan, crossed Xianyang, and coerced Xi'an. Just when everyone's attention was attracted to Xi'an Mansion, Li Yangchun, the first fierce general under Wu Yangui, suddenly appeared from the Wild Boar Gorge and directly took Ganquan. Ganquan is located in the south of Yan'an City, known as the gateway of Yan'an Mansion, for a time Yan'an Mansion was shaken, and hurriedly transferred troops and horses from all walks of life to surround Yan'an.

Just when the various departments of Yan'an Mansion were in a hurry, Cupola Pillar Blue Dao and others cooperated with Li Yangchun to attack from both sides, and they took Yichuan, Yanchuan, and Mizhi in two days. Since then, the eastern barrier of Yan'an Mansion has completely collapsed, and Wu Yangui has gathered 40,000 rebellious parties to rush to Yan'an City with a large number of displaced people. Yan'an City was besieged, and Hua Xiaorong took the opportunity to take Ansai City, and since then, Wu Yangui has formed a siege of Yan'an City.

The thirtieth day of the lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve. There were many poor people in Yan'an City who made trouble, and the defenders couldn't stand the pressure, so they let go of the city gates, and the chaotic parties rushed in, occupying Yan'an City in a blink of an eye.

The fall of Yan'an Mansion has severely added a deep wound to the calamitous Ming Dynasty.

Prior to this, although there were civil unrest in Shaanxi, there had never been a situation of a single place. This incident fully shows that after years of fighting, the rogues have become stronger and stronger, and they already have the strength to conquer the city.

As soon as this incident came out, there was a lot of noise in Shanxi, and almost all the soldiers and horses were transferred to the west to prevent the rebellious parties from pouring into Shanxi again.

The power center of the Ming Dynasty has become silent. Everyone was stunned by this news, and anyone who encountered this during the New Year would be stunned.

It is destined that this year will not be good, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the courtiers went to the court with sad faces, and the cabinet was even more urgent consultation. Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen couldn't wait to slap these ministers in the face, and then scolded a bloody dog.

I remember that a few years ago, I also asked the cabinet to express concern about the current situation of Yan'an Mansion. However, at that time, the courtiers all said that Yan'an Mansion was worry-free, and the rogue was the rogue Kou, they were wandering around, robbing things were okay, and if they wanted to capture Yan'an Mansion, it was a fool's dream.

But as a result, in less than two months, the rogues used practical actions to swell the face of the imperial court.

Not only is it a city and a place, it is simply the occupation of Yan'an Mansion. Is there any other way to do this? Only bandits.

To suppress bandits, relying only on those soldiers and horses in Shaanxi, that is wishful thinking. After thinking about it, the elite of the border army must be transferred into Shaanxi, and if the rogue is not destroyed, the Ming Dynasty must be tossed and scattered by this group of rogues.

In the second year of Chongzhen, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, after two hours of urgent deliberations, Chongzhen and his ministers finally decided to transfer a part of the elite border troops of Xuanfu, Datongfu, Liaodong, Ningxia and Guyuan into Shaanxi to suppress bandits.

This time, the imperial court was very determined to suppress the momentum of the civil unrest in a short period of time.

At the end of the court meeting, the official document was quickly issued to the nine sides.

The nine-sided towns have important responsibilities, and the elite of the border army cannot be moved lightly. However, the imperial court also has the difficulties of the imperial court, and the order has been issued, so it must be done according to the order.

Soon, the border towns transferred people to Shaanxi, and these people were also well-known local ruthless people.

Liaodong Town guerrilla general Cao Wenzhao, Xuanfu guerrilla general Tiemo, Gansu general Wang Guo, Guyuan guerrilla general Li Guoqi, Ningxia general Cui Zongyin, Yansui guerrilla general Li Xianzong, Datongfu guerrilla general Lou Daji. Of these people, none of them are good at stubble, especially Cao Wenzhao and Tiemo, one is fighting with the Jurchens all the year round, and the other is fighting in the Hanhai grassland.

The imperial court intended to suppress bandits, and the border towns in various places were not perfunctory.

......

Most people are reluctant to go to Shaanxi to suppress bandits, but Tiemo is an exception. On the third day of the first month of the second year of Chongzhen, Tiemo ordered 2,000 soldiers and horses to go to the old camp fort in the assembly place with all the generals under his command.

When I arrived at Laoyingbao, I found that I was the first to arrive, in short, it was the first time I saw him as actively as Tiemo. After staying in Laoyingbao for two days, the guerrilla general Lou Daji of Datong Mansion led the people late.

Lou Daji and Tiemo are also old acquaintances, there was an accident in Yanmen Pass before, and when Datong Mansion and Xuanfu jointly sent troops, the two met. Later, he resold the remnants of the ordnance to Dolgon, and Lou Daji also had a share. However, when they first met, Tiemo was still a small Qianhu, and Lou Daji was a guerrilla general. Now, in less than a year, Tiemo is on an equal footing with Lou Daji.

Sometimes Lou Daji also envies the speed of Tiemo's promotion, but there are some things that he envy and envy, and he can't say anything. The reason why people's iron and ink rise so quickly is that it is a real military achievement, and there is no water at all. What's more, the family is young, controls the Hanhai grassland, and has 30,000 Mongolian soldiers under their hands. They are both guerrilla generals, but there is no comparison between the two sides.

"Brother Tie, I really don't understand you for my brother, this mess in Shaanxi is a quagmire, everyone is trying their best to delay, and you're so positive!"

"Haha, there are two sides to everything!" Speaking of this, Tiemo's eyes began to glow. It was a great opportunity for him.

The rebellious party took Yan'an Mansion and looted it, and there must be a lot of money under their hands. As officers and soldiers, you can't rob the state capital, but you shouldn't be guilty of robbing the party. Bandits? The ghost is a bandit, and Lao Tzu is here to grab money and materials.

When they have nothing to do, Tiemo and Lou Daji always talk about things in Shaanxi, and they have no hope for the chaos in Shaanxi.

The chaos in Shaanxi is not in the military affairs, but in the people's livelihood, as long as the imperial court cannot provide comprehensive disaster relief for one day, the civil unrest will not be broken.

On the thirteenth day of the first month of the second year of Chongzhen, Cao Wenzhao rushed to the old camp fort with soldiers and horses. This is not because Cao Wenzhao deliberately delayed, because there is a distance from Liaodong to Shaanxi, and it will take several days to rush.

For Cao Wenzhao, Tiemo has been famous for a long time. This person has gone through three generations of governors Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong, and Yuan Chonghuan, and has risen from the bottom of Liaodong to a guerrilla general. In some ways, Cao Wenzhao is very similar to Tiemo, almost relying on real credit to climb up step by step.

However, Cao Wenzhao gives the impression of being like a kind uncle, with a short beard and a smile. Even, I don't feel the slightest murderous aura.

Tiemo is different, although he looks honest, he can kill constantly, and he exudes the iron-blooded atmosphere of a soldier. Cao Wenzhao is not alone, he has always been accompanied by a young man with a powerful appearance, this person is Cao Wenzhao's nephew Cao Bianjiao.

Since the meeting, Cao Bianjiao has been staring at Tie Mo non-stop. For this guy of the same age as himself, Cao Bianjiao was still a little unconvinced.

Why are they all young people, this kid can be a guerrilla general?

The soldiers and horses of the three routes were assembled, and the rest of the kingdoms, Cui Zongyin, Li Guoqi and others gathered in Yansui. At this time, there was no need to wait for others, so after discussion, the three sides joined forces and decided to attack the nearest Mizhi first.

This time, Lou Daji and Cao Wenzhao were behind, and Tiemo was in charge of the main attack.
