Chongzhen became interested: "You tell me in detail."

Wang Qiaonian said: "The plan of tired enemies is to send a small group of men and horses to constantly harass them, so that the Qin army is not at peace, and the land in Guanzhong cannot be cultivated and harvested in time, so that their food and salary can be cut off, which Lord Sun has made very clear, and the minister will not repeat it." [Full text reading. As for the plan to trap the enemy, it is to send men and horses to garrison along the Yellow River, and some of them are hoarded outside Tongguan, resulting in the situation of troops approaching the city, so that the Qin army has to be on guard at all times, while our army can be reorganized. Wait until they are tired before suddenly marching in. There are not many Qin soldiers and horses, and we are stationed along the first line of the Yellow River, and in order to prevent our army from crossing the river, the Qin army will inevitably deploy heavy troops on the other side of the Yellow River. In this way, the Qin army and horses can be dispersed in order to be annihilated. ”

Chongzhen nodded again and again: "In this way, how many people do you need?" ”

Wang Qiaonian thought for a while: "Your Majesty, after the destruction of Jingbian City, Vice General Li Yuan and Vice General Zhang Shaozuo fled to Shanxi with 20,000 horses, and I think that with 20,000 horses, it is barely enough." ”

Chongzhen said: "20,000 horses, is it a little less?" Recently, I heard that the Qin army was recruiting troops in Shaanxi, and its strength has increased greatly. Wang Qiaonian said: "The officers and soldiers are just tired of the enemy and disturbing the enemy, and they don't need so many men and horses." Moreover, at this time, the Qin army has occupied the whole of Shaanxi, the north is Mongolia and Houjin, they will not go, the south is the Qinling Mountains, it is difficult for them to enter Sichuan, if they want to go east out of Tongguan, into Henan, where is Li Zicheng's sphere of influence, the Qin army came in, Li Zichenggao is not happy, it is not yet known, so I think the Qin army will not go to Henan. As long as the Qin army is stubborn in Shaanxi and does not fight, 20,000 horses are enough. ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen sighed: "It can only be like this, just stabilize the Qin army in Guanzhong now, let Fu Zonglong and Sun Chuanting free their hands to eliminate Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong." As long as these two people are destroyed, the Qin army will become a lone army, and its destruction is just around the corner. ”

Wang Qiaonian said: "The minister got up and went to make arrangements." To reassure Your Majesty. ”

Chongzhen waved his hand: "You go, the holy decree will then go down to Li Yuan and Zhang Shaozuo's army." ”

Wang Qiaonian thanked him, got out of Beijing, and went to take office. Since the whole of Shaanxi was in the hands of the Qin army, Wang Qiaonian could not go to Xi'an to take office, so he took office in Xi County, Shanxi, and used it as a temporary place of governance. He called the second general Li Zhang and ordered them to reorganize the army and horses, and prepare to avenge the loss of Jingbian.

These two already knew that Wang Qiaonian was in office, and they also knew that this person was a clean official, and they knew that he had said good things in front of Chongzhen, and did not pursue the fact that they lost Jingbian and led the army to escape, so in addition to admiration, they also had twelve points of gratitude to Wang Qiaonian.

When Wang Qiaonian arrived in the army, he encouraged these people to kill them back in Guanzhong and seek revenge from the Qin army. These horses also held their stomachs, because they were really defeated, 30,000 horses were defeated by more than 10,000 people of the Qin army, and they also lost Jingbian, and their faces were gloomy, so when they heard that they were going to kill back to Guanzhong, they all gritted their teeth and rubbed their hands.

Wang Qiaonian inspected the army, saw that the morale of the three armies was strong, and knew that he could use soldiers, so he immediately ordered to go down, let Li Yuan take 5,000 men and horses, go south along the Yellow River, live in Hejin in front, set up a large camp there, and make preparations to cross the river to attack, and then sent Zhang Shaozuo with 5,000 men and horses, north out of Linxian, and also made preparations to attack Shaanxi, confusing the Qin army.

And he himself brought more than 10,000 people, stationed in Yongji, not too far from Tongguan, set up a large camp, and threatened Tongguan. The Qin army had already reported that it had entered Xi'an, and when the King of Qin heard it, he sneered slightly: "Do the generals of the defeated army dare to speak bravely?" It's nothing but a bluff. The order went down, sent more people to inquire about the news, always grasped the movements of this group of officers and soldiers, and told Wang Jian to send people to patrol along the river bank to avoid being smuggled by the officers and soldiers. ”

The King of Qin is confident, knowing that this is just a way for the officials and the army to have no choice, and the attention of the officials and the army is more in Henan at the moment, and there are not many men and horses to contain the Qin army, this mere 20,000 people, or just defeated by the Qin army, how much wind can it stir up?

Therefore, the Qin army was still in full swing to carry out land hoarding and recruiting troops in Guanzhong.

At the same time, King Qin's vision also fell on Henan and Huguang. He knows that Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, to a certain extent, will determine the general trend of the world.

At this time, Li Zicheng had already opened the frame in Zhuxian Town, he had 100,000 male soldiers in his hands, and the grain and treasures obtained from Luoyang City as a basis, which can be described as strong soldiers and horses, and high morale. Tigers looked at Kaifeng, waiting for reinforcements from the official army to come. He did not besiege the city, but only sent a small group of men and horses to constantly harass outside Kaifeng City, preventing the outside food and men from replenishing into Kaifeng City.

Li Zicheng knew very well that Fu Zonglong had already dispatched troops to fight him to the death. If you want to conquer Kaifeng, you must first defeat Fu Zonglong. Therefore, in the past few days, he has convened his subordinates and advisers to discuss countermeasures, and at the same time, all the scouts have also reported the news to the desk.

From these inquiries, Li Zicheng learned that Fu Zonglong was menacing this time, and he led He Renlong, Cao Bianjiao, Yang Wenyue and other fierce generals to command an army of 50,000 and had rushed to Xinzheng, and the two armies were separated by less than 100 miles.

You must know that Fu Zonglong came to the decisive battle this time, and all he brought with him were the divisions of a hundred battles, which can be described as elite soldiers. And most of the men and horses under Li Zicheng were newly recruited, and after a few days of training, whether such people could withstand the impact of the elite officers and soldiers was not yet in their hearts.

So Li Zicheng held meetings for several days to study countermeasures.

In the end, he used Song Xian's strategy to send 5,000 men and horses to attack Kaifeng, which was used to contain the officials and troops in the city, preventing them from going out of the city to attack the peasant army, and then put the 100,000 people who had fought in the front and the recruits who had not fought in the back to prepare for a decisive battle. This arrangement prevents the recruits from being defeated and breaking up the ranks.

The two armies marched head-to-head, and finally met at the place of Sanguanmiao, and the two sides were separated by fifteen miles, and set up a large camp to prepare for a decisive battle.

Fu Zonglong led 20,000 horses in the middle, Cao Bianjiao led 10,000 people on the left, He Renlong led 10,000 people on the right, Yang Wenyue led 10,000 people in the rear, and 50,000 horses were distributed. There is a stream outside the town of Sanguanmiao, called Xiaoliang River, the river is only three feet wide, and the two sides stand across the river.

Fu Zonglong shouted in the array: "Anti-thief Li Zicheng, I am Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan, the heavenly soldiers have arrived today, you rabble, don't you come down early, come to die?" ”

When Li Zicheng heard this, he sneered slightly, he didn't answer Fu Zonglong, but asked the middle of the formation: "In today's battle, we must first give the officers and soldiers a dismount, who dares to go out to fight?" ”

Before the words fell, Hao Shaoqi had already lifted the reins of the horse, rushed forward and said with a smile: "Brother Li, I'll go to fight." Chop off the head of one of his generals first. Cheer up the military. Li Zicheng nodded: "It's the most appropriate for you to go, be careful." ”

Hao Shaoqi held a broad-edged sword in his hand, held a round shield, rode out of the battle, came to the river, jumped his horse, reached the other side of the river, and shouted at the official army: "Lao Tzu is Hao Shaoqi, who dares to come forward and fight to the death with me." ”

This roar is really like a thunderbolt, which is quite a bit of Zhang Yi Dewei Town Changbanpo's meaning.

Fu Zonglong is very familiar with Li Zicheng's generals, and naturally knows that this fierce general under his command sees Hao Shaoqi coming out of the battle alone, if his side rushes up, how can he save face. He also knew that this was the prelude before the battle, just like before singing, there were always harlequins coming out to gag. If no one on his side dares to fight, he will make these anti-thieves laugh.

So he asked the generals around him, "Who can go out to take the head of this thief?" The officer was promoted to the third level. ”

As soon as the words fell, a person rushed out from among Cao Bianjiao's people, this person was in his twenties, with silver iron armor all over his body, and a painting pole Fang Tianhalberd in his hand, majestic and dignified.

This person is Cao Wenzhao's nephew, surnamed Guo Mingtong, good at making a Fang Tian painting halberd, very brave, known as Xiao Rengui. Cao Wenzhao took him to fight several battles before his death, when Cao Wenzhao died, Guo Tong was not in the army, but went back to his hometown to visit his mother's illness, and soon learned that Cao Wenzhao died in the hands of the peasant army Li Zicheng, and the whole army suffered huge losses, only Cao Bianjiao took a few remnants to fight out of the encirclement.

Guo Tong's mother heard that her brother had died tragically, and in a hurry, she also fell ill and died. From then on, Guo Tong hated the peasant army to the core, especially Li Zicheng, he returned to Cao Bianjiao's army, and vowed to avenge his mother and uncle. Today, when he saw Li Zicheng's men and horses, Guo Tong's eyes were on fire, because there was no general order, he didn't dare to kill privately, at this time, when he saw a general on the opposite side, he crossed the river to fight, and he couldn't hold it anymore, and he didn't say hello to Cao Bianjiao.

Cao Bianjiao sighed, he stretched out his hand, but he couldn't stop this brother, Cao Bianjiao knew how powerful Hao Shaoqi was, he could be regarded as the first fierce general in Li Zicheng's army, strong martial arts, quick hands and eyes, although his brother was not ambiguous, but whether he could defeat Hao Shaoqi, he beat the drum in his heart.

As soon as Fu Zonglong saw that someone was fighting, he immediately ordered the drummers around him: "Beat the drums and cheer." ”

Dozens of war drums were beaten together, and the sound of killing was also shouted, and in the sound of war drums, I saw Guo Tong like an arrow off the string, a white light, and shot towards Hao Shaoqi.

Hao Shaoqi had already stared at it coldly, and when he saw a young general, a silver-armored halberd, he was very majestic, and he didn't dare to be careless. Guo Tong rushed to the front, but he didn't answer, and stabbed with a halberd. Hao Shaoqi blocked it with an iron shield, blocked the halberd aside, and shouted: "Where did you come from, Mao boy, you are famous for death." ”

Guo Tong reported his name and surname, and Hao Shaoqi shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, a nobody, and he dares to fight with the general!" ”

Guo Tong was so angry that his whole body trembled: "Anti-thief, today the master is here to take your head and avenge my ancestors, look at the guy." ”
