Among the generals of the Central Plains at this time, Cao Bianjiao is undoubtedly the most qualified and prestigious.

Ding Qirui originally expected him to obey his command, and then drive the other chief officers to obey the arrangement, but who knew that one night, Cao Bianjiao just sat quietly with Shao Derong and others without saying a word.

Seeing that Cao Bianjiao didn't speak, Zuo Liangyu and the others became even more confident, no matter how Ding Qirui scolded angrily, a group of people only cared about him left and right, and made Ding Qirui and Yang Wenyue and others crazy.

"Why didn't you let me open my mouth in the overseer's tent?"

As soon as he returned to his army, Cao Bianjiao immediately asked Shao Derong.

Shao Derong and Zheng Jingcai all followed to Cao Bianjiao's camp, and immediately laughed when they heard this.

"The general is heroic, no one in the whole army knows it, but you have also seen the situation in the tent just now, the people are not aligned, and they blame each other, how can such a large army succeed?"

However, Cao Bianjiao was still puzzled: "You and I know the roots, and the soldiers and horses under our respective commands are all elite soldiers, if we join forces, even if the others are as stupid as pigs, so what?" ”

"What about after we fight?" , Zheng Jingcai hurriedly asked: "If we accidentally fold all our elite soldiers and horses here, who will resist the rogue in the future?" ”

Hearing this, Cao Bianjiao looked at Shao Derong and Zheng Jingcai without saying a word, and only after a long time did he say in confusion:

"Tell me honestly, did my brother arrange for you to do this?"

As soon as Cao Bianjiao's words came out, Shao Derong immediately showed a look of vigilance, turned around and waved his hand to drive all the guards out of the big tent, and covered the tent himself.

After doing this, he turned around and looked at Cao Bianjiao with a smile and said: "Don't say this in advance, Shao wants to ask the general town, and now the general town thinks there is still salvation?" ”

Cao Bianjiao took a deep breath with a solemn face, and saw that Shao Derong didn't look like a joke, so he pondered for a few seconds and replied:

"I'm terminally ill."

"Hehe, in that case, then why should I bother to frame this rotten house, rather than help it survive, wouldn't it be better to build a new building?"

it!

Cao Bianjiao suddenly understood it in his heart, and the shock in his heart at this time was even more indescribable.

Even important court officials like Liu Ximing are thinking about others, how can he not be surprised.

Immediately, he reacted and frowned: "But even if you hold the three of us, it is only about 60,000 people, and my brother still lacks some heat if he wants to change the sky." ”

Seeing that Cao Bianjiao didn't mention the word rebellion, Shao Derong and Zheng Jingcai looked at each other and smiled.

It seems that the trick of the second brother marrying the daughter of the Cao family is really useful, and the two of them also took this into account, so they dared to point it out directly.

Shao Derong said with a smile on his face: "It's not just 60,000 horses, Nanyang, Hanzhong, Shunqing, Xiangyang and other places, my family has at least 60,000 elites, and there are more than 300,000 garrison troops, do you think it's enough for such a general?" ”

Cao Bianjiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, although he had always known that his sister-in-law had a lot of money, but how dare he imagine it here, and now when he heard the data reported by Shao Derong, he was suddenly a little dizzy.

"Da Situ has a big plan!" , and then he became a little unhappy again, "Hmph, you boys have been hiding from Lao Tzu for so long, see if I don't clean you up when I turn around." ”

"Hahaha", after laughing, Zheng Jingcai followed and hugged his fists and said: "It's a matter of confidentiality, please forgive the general, now that the second brother's plan has reached the most critical moment, please also ask the general to rot these words in his stomach." ”

"Hmph, Lao Tzu's three generations of generals, can you still not know this", Cao Bianjiao grinned, and knocked the heads of Shao Derong and Zheng Jingcai, making the two of them grin and dare not make a sound.

"Since you already have this plan, then the three of us had better get together in the military camp, I think Zuo Liangyu and the others have ghosts, but they can't let them trap us."

After calming down a little, Cao Bianjiao immediately resumed his posture as a world-famous general, and began to arrange the affairs of the three of them in an orderly manner.

The officials and soldiers kept arguing all day long about who would take the lead, but Li Zicheng and the other rogues were in full swing on their own.

After discovering that the official army was indeed a silver-like wax spearhead, Li Zicheng simply wanted to make it big.

On the one hand, he sent some troops and horses to confront the officers and soldiers, which attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers.

On the other hand, a large number of people were sent to dig trenches and fortifications around the south of Zhuxian Town, trying to cut off the direction of the escape of the officials and soldiers.

This scene lasted for a month, and the officials and soldiers who had been staring at Zhu Xianzhen without being afraid did not notice at all that the Liukou had such a big appetite to swallow themselves.

Although Shao Derong and others knew the layout of the Liukou with the help of the spying of the Military Intelligence Bureau, they all pretended to be dead in the camp and let the Liukou complete their own arrangements.

When he entered July, Zuo Liangyu, who was sensitive to the battlefield, finally realized that something was wrong.

Li Zicheng's gang of rogues did not seek war, nor did they retreat, but just scolded and confronted each other every day, and Zuo Liangyu, the fleeing general, was not given in vain, and immediately judged that the official army was afraid of defeat.

At this time, he did something unimaginable to everyone.

On the night of the eighth day of the seventh month, the Zuo Liangyu military camp, which was originally camped in the south of the official army, took advantage of the night to directly send troops to rob the mules and horses of the entire Ming army.

As soon as he succeeded, before Ding Qirui and the others could react, the 40,000 troops under Zuo Liangyu directly pulled out the camp and fled directly to the south at night.

Of course, it was impossible for an army of tens of thousands of people to retreat silently, and after Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others discovered the movement of the official army, they immediately waved their troops to cover the killing.

The disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers fighting separately were once again revealed in the face of chaos, and as soon as Ding Qirui and others heard that the thieves were attacking, they couldn't wait to give birth to wings and fly away.

More than 100,000 Ming troops landed and made a mess.

However, no one noticed that Cao Bianjiao, Shao Derong and Zheng Jingcai, who had already moved their camps to the north of the army, were silent.

In Cao Bianjiao's camp, he exhaled a breath of turbidity and looked at the Chinese army camp that was already neighing and horses, and Cao Bianjiao's face flashed with determination, and he turned his head and left.

Behind him, there were tens of thousands of soldiers who had already gathered, but in the darkness, these tens of thousands of people were silent, which made people feel chills in their hearts.

Since they had long planned to take this opportunity to weaken the official army, how could Cao Bianjiao and the others not keep an eye on the situation on the battlefield.

Therefore, as soon as they found out that there was a change in Zuo Liangyu's army, Cao Bianjiao and the other three immediately took action, taking advantage of the gap between the Liukou and the Chinese army, and tens of thousands of troops went straight to the east.

In Li Zicheng's camp in Zhuxian Town, Li Zicheng took Luo Rucai, Niu Jinxing and others to stand in the Chinese army and look at the chaos of the Ming army opposite.

Suddenly, a knight Pegasus came running, "King Chuang, the three general soldiers of Cao Yan Luo in the north of the official army still withdrew from the camp and did not support the Chinese army. ”

"Hahaha, God help me!"

In front of the Chinese army camp, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others were all ecstatic.

If it is said that among the official army, the most feared by the intruding army is naturally Cao Yanluo, Judge Shao and other departments.

Tonight, it was discovered that Zuo Liangyu had fled, and in addition to arranging for a large army to attack the official army, Li Zicheng also retained more than 100,000 troops, in order to prevent Cao Bianjiao and others.

Now that he heard that Cao Bianjiao and others had fled without a fight, Li Zicheng immediately laughed and said: "Pass on my general's order, cover the whole army, and be sure to annihilate all the officers and soldiers!" ”

"Kill!"

Outside Zhu Xianzhen, the shouts of killing sounded again.

More than 300,000 Liukou, more than 100,000 Ming troops, and hundreds of thousands of people fought on the same battlefield.

Unfortunately, because of the darkness, many troops have already dispersed.

However, unlike the panic of the officials and soldiers, the thieves still dared to charge and attack even if they were chaotic, even if they were chaotic.

And Zuo Liangyu, Ding Qirui and others, who were broken, only dared to run around, and they didn't even have the courage to clean up the army.

It is also considered Zuo Liangyu's luck, the cavalry under the command of the Chuang Army was staring at his movements, chasing all the way to the south, but fortunately, Zuo Liangyu robbed a large number of mules and horses of the officers and soldiers.

Finally, at the stall where the cavalry of the invading army was grabbing the spoils of war, they ran out of the trenches and fortifications of the invading army with difficulty, and went all the way to the south.

As for Ding Qirui and others, they were not so lucky, without Cao Bianjiao and others to cover the flanks, the entire Chinese army camp was wrapped in dumplings by Li Zicheng's army, and together with the supervisor Ding Qirui, they were also killed in the chaos.

The last main force of the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty perished, except for the 60,000 horses under the command of Cao Bianjiao and others, only more than 50,000 of the remaining 120,000 people managed to escape.

When the news spread all over the world a month later, the Ming gentry were all panicked.

It's going to change!
