The Qin army entered and occupied Huangling, which was regarded as a step to the north. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

And Wei Baichuan was too embarrassed this time, he ran and scolded himself secretly, why didn't he listen to Shi Kefa's advice and have to come to fight this battle.

He led the defeat to Ansai, then stopped his footsteps, gathered the defeated soldiers, and finally contained thousands of remnants of the defeated generals, and at the last checkpoint, he brought a total of 12,000 men and horses, and now he followed him back to Ansai, there are less than 8,000 people, most of these people are cavalry, and most of the infantry has been lost.

The last time he was attacked by Wang Jian and lost 2,000 people, this fire, even the pursuit of the Qin army, made him lose another 3,000 people, and he also took two deputy generals. was so angry that Wei Baichuan wanted to wipe his neck. In the end, he was persuaded by everyone.

Wei Baichuan rested in Ansai for a day, and then returned to Jingbian with his head down.

When Shi Kefa got the news, he hurriedly went out of the city fifty miles to greet him, comforting Wei Baichuan while sending people to treat the injured. After entering the city, Shi Kefa hurriedly invited Wei Baichuan to go back to his house to rest, and in the evening, Shi Kefa met Wei Baichuan, at this time Wei Baichuan sat in the hall with a frown, and was worried.

As soon as he saw his face, Shi Kefa understood, and said: "Don't worry too much, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and losing a battle is nothing, even Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting don't always win battles." ”

Wei Baichuan sighed: "How can I not know this truth, but there is something very annoying at the moment, I am bent on going my own way and fought a big defeat, how to explain to the court?" Besides, such a big defeat cannot be hidden. ”

Shi Kefa smiled: "I already have a plan for this, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

Wei Baichuan was stunned: "Do you have a plan?" ”

Shi Kefa nodded: "I have learned about the battle from the soldiers and generals, the marshal led the army to occupy Baishui City, which is worth writing about, but in the end, the Qin army in Guanzhong came to reinforce, and the marshal faced the enemy alone, which inevitably suffered losses, but also killed and injured a large number of Qin troops." I believe that if such a report is submitted, the military department will not blame the commander. ”

When Wei Baichuan heard this, he suddenly realized and laughed: "Yes, yes, the battle is indeed like this." I will now write to the court. ”

So Wei Baichuan found a few guests, worked hard in the middle of the night, wrote a recital, and sent it to Jingshi quickly.

As Shi Kefa expected, Chongzhen did not blame Wei Baichuan, not because Chongzhen was deceived by Wei Baichuan's twists and turns, but because Chongzhen really didn't have the energy to take care of Jingbian's affairs, and Jingbian was not lost, it was just that Wei Baichuan wanted to take Baishui City and win another battle, and the final outcome was not ideal.

What really bothered Chongzhen was the situation in Henan.

Li Zicheng gathered heavy troops, besieged Luoyang, Luoyang is the first county in Henan, geographical location and strategic location is very important, once Luoyang is lost, Li Zicheng will not only be prestigious, rich in money and food, but also will shake the world, the prestige of the court will be further reduced.

Therefore, Chongzhen urgently ordered Fu Zonglong to rush to Luoyang desperately. We must find ways to protect Luoyang without losing it.

In addition, the situation in Sichuan is not optimistic, and it is reported that Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai once again joined forces to fight against the official army. Although Yang Sichang also won several battles, they were all small victories, and the gains were not big, and although Zhang Luolian had few soldiers and horses, most of them were elite soldiers, and they rebelled with iron heart, and they went back and forth between the mountains of Sichuan, which had dragged Yang Sichang to exhaustion, and Yang Sichang also fell ill in the army, and the army's heart was shaken.

Chongzhen strictly ordered Yang Sichang not to run around with the army anymore, so that he could recuperate in a stable place, but Yang Sichang knew that a group of arrogant soldiers such as Zuo Liangyu under him did not obey his command at all, and if he did not act with the army, no one would obey his orders, so the originally good situation of suppressing bandits might fail, so he still led the army to chase and kill the Zhang Luo coalition army regardless of his body.

At this time, the Zhang Luo coalition army had already gasped and recuperated their spirits, just like a tiger with hidden claws, which had approached its prey, and was about to launch a thunderous blow.

Tang Sai'er is the maker of this plan, and she deeply understands that this blow can stab Yang Sichang in the heart, and even let him peel off his skin if he doesn't die.

Compared with Luoyang and sabre-rattling in Henan, the mountain rain in the mountains of Sichuan is coming, and Guanzhong is jubilant.

After Wang Jian defeated the official army, he reported victory. After the king of Qin got the seal, he was overjoyed and immediately issued an edict to restore Wang Qian's title and add the title of general.

Originally, the general was just Bai Qi, but now Wang Jian is also named a general, side by side with Bai Qi, indicating that these two are the right-hand men of King Qin, which is not trivial.

When the King of Qin issued an order, he once said to Bai Qi: "In the history of my Qin army, there are countless famous generals, but the most dazzling generals among them are undoubtedly the two of you. After the restoration of the Qin State, Wang Jian guarded the Great Wall in the north, and the general you held the Tongguan Pass and attacked to the east. ”

Bai Qi is already very mature politically, he knows the relationship between King Qin and Wang Jian very well, if he is not the most famous killing god in history, the position will definitely be under Wang Qian. Therefore, he smiled indifferently: "The king is right. I think General Wang will be able to conquer Jingbian and recover the Great Wall. ”

So the king of Qin sent an additional 5,000 men and horses to Huangling to assist Wang Qian, asking him to see the opportunity to take Jingbian.

In addition to giving Wang Jian an order, King Qin's eyes also fell on Luoyang, Henan.

The King of Qin found a few important ministers to discuss the matter, and Li Yan spoke first: "After Li Zicheng entered Henan this time, it was extremely smooth, and the number of people and horses increased rapidly, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have enough troops to besiege a big city like Luoyang." ”

King Qin glanced at Li Yan and smiled slightly: "I'm afraid it's thanks to your nursery rhyme, not only in Henan right now, but even in our Guanzhong, there are children singing it." ”

Li Yan hurriedly gave a salute: "King, this Li Zicheng is kind to me, I just repay his affection, and I have no second heart." King Qin nodded: "I naturally know that Li Gongzi doesn't have to be suspicious." Besides, the more fierce Li Zicheng made trouble in Henan, the more beneficial it was to our Qin army, so it seems that Li Gongzi still made a great contribution. Li Yan hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare." The Qin army can have today's situation, all thanks to the king Hongfu. Moreover, the king has two lives to Li Yan, and Li Yan does not dare to lose the king in this life. ”

King Qin waved his hand: "Let's talk about it now." In the eyes of this king, Luoyang will never be able to hold it, and once Li Zicheng captures Luoyang, he will get huge treasures and grain, I am afraid that his men and horses will be greatly expanded, and in the next step, he will want to completely occupy Henan. Then there will definitely be an attack on Kaifeng. ”

Zhang Yi was taken aback: "Attack Kaifeng? Is he that ambitious? You must know that Kaifeng was the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, the city wall is thick, stronger than Xi'an, and there are many people in Kaifeng City, more importantly, the vassal king in Kaifeng City is relatively enlightened, once Li Zicheng besieged, the vassal king will inevitably come forward, at that time, Li Zicheng wants to take Kaifeng, I am afraid it is not easy. ”

Bai nodded: "There is also Fu Zonglong, he also has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under him, and he will never watch Li Zicheng sit big." If the peasant army takes Luoyang and then attacks Kaifeng, then Li Zicheng's intentions are self-evident, and the court will definitely fight hard and fight Li Zicheng under Kaifeng City. Because the Central Plains is a strategic location, if the court loses the Central Plains and Guanzhong, Beijing will be in danger. ”

As he was talking, he suddenly ran into a personal guard, came to the king of Qin and knelt down, holding a letter in his hand: "Report to the king, six hundred miles from Tongguan to rush to the pond." ”

King Qin was stunned: "Isn't it the official army attacking Tongguan?" ”

He hurriedly opened the Tang newspaper, read it, couldn't help but slap his palm on the table, stood up and said, "I didn't expect it to be so fast, so fast......"

Bai Qi said: "King, what happened?" ”

King Qin handed the Tang newspaper to the three of them, and said: "Luoyang has been captured by Li Zicheng......"

The three of them read it once, and it was written very simply in the Tang newspaper, that is, the soldiers in Luoyang City mutinied, and Li Zicheng occupied Luoyang almost bloodlessly.

The three of them looked at each other, and they all let out a long sigh. They know that Li Zicheng has made a lot of money this time.

It turned out that since Li Zicheng besieged Luoyang City, this battle was very interesting, and the peasant army of 100,000 horses surrounded Luoyang City and attacked for days.

At the beginning, the officers and soldiers defended very tenaciously, Li Zicheng's men and horses did not make progress, and they lacked cannons to bombard the city wall, so they fought for three days without success.

But after a long time, those officers and soldiers became a little unhappy. Because of the cold weather, these officers and soldiers worked hard in the city, but they could not get military salaries, and the diet was also very poor, not to mention wine and meat, it was difficult to eat even white flour steamed buns all day long, and they were all eating bran vegetables. The soldiers complained.

At the same time, the blessed king Zhu Changxun burned incense and worshiped the Buddha in his palace all day long, asking the Buddha to bless and repel the peasant army. When the news came, the officers and soldiers were even more depressed, and privately discussed: Since you pray to God, it is better to let the gods descend and come to guard Luoyang City......

At this time, Li Zicheng launched a battle outside the city, he sent thousands of soldiers, around the four gates of Luoyang began to shout, at the beginning of the shouting, the official army was still under the command of the general defending the city, shot a few arrows outside, a few cannons, but the peasant army was not afraid, shouting louder and louder.

Later, those officers and soldiers began to talk to the peasant army outside the city, and many of the new people who joined the peasant army were nearby villagers.

The generals defending the city hurriedly pressed and even drew their swords, strictly ordering the officers and soldiers not to talk to the thieves.

However, they did not expect that the anger that had been surging in the hearts of these officers and soldiers for several days could no longer be suppressed.
