Chapter 463: Capture the Thief
In the face of Gao Yingxiang's madness, Jin Guoqi didn't pay attention to it at all.
These untrained peasants, who only knew how to plunder, had no difference between knives and hoes in their hands, and they did not even have a tenth of the combat strength of the captives.
Jin Guoqi was as solid as a rock, and he didn't move at all.
Gao Yingxiang was anxious, no matter behind him, shouting loudly, all kinds of coercion and temptation, high-ranking officials and Houlu came.
These 'brothers' behind him were lured and followed Gao Yingxiang to attack, fearless of death.
Sun Chuanting stood on a high place, watched the changes in the battlefield, put down the binoculars, and said with a smile: "My lord, this Gao Yingxiang can't run." ”
Zhou Zheng had already seen that the team behind Gao Yingxiang had a large-scale rout, and only Gao Yingxiang in the canyon was still dying.
Zhou Zheng put his hands behind his back and said: "Order, Cao Bianjiao, Zhang Cunren waved his army to cover up and kill, exterminate them as much as possible, and ordered Jin Guoqi to surround him, I want to live!" ”
Alive, naturally Gao Yingxiang.
"Yes!"
Zhou Zheng gave an order, and the flags waved vigorously to pass the flags.
Jin Guoqi received Zhou Zheng's order, and carefully observed Gao Yingxiang's back, and soon after, suddenly ordered a counterattack.
The officers and troops rushed out of the pass like a tide, and Zhang Cunren divided his troops to attack and surrounded Gao Yingxiang.
This is a battle without any suspense, and the rabble Gao Yingxiang cannot be the opponent of the well-prepared Zhou Zheng army.
In less than an hour, almost all of Zhou Zheng's troops were withdrawn.
Zhou Zheng was sitting on a big stone, and Gao Yingxiang was tied up and knelt in front of Zhou Zheng.
Sun Chuanting, Jin Guoqi, Cao Bianjiao, Zhang Cunren and others are all watching, although this guy has thick eyebrows and big eyes, there is nothing special about it.
Is it this person who broke through the central capital and turned the five northwestern provinces upside down, and those big people in the imperial court couldn't sleep at night?
Gao Yingxiang stiffened his neck, and his eyes stared at Zhou Zheng, who was sitting opposite.
Without waiting for Zhou Zheng to speak, Gao Yingxiang said, "You are Zhou Zhengyun?" ”
Zhou Zheng's hand trembled a little, and his heart was extremely excited!
Gao Yingxiang is the leader of the bandits, and this fell into his hands, which is a unique achievement, which is greater than the credit for defeating Jianyu in Liaodong!
With him, Zhou Zheng's plan is very large.
Zhou Zheng listened to Gao Yingxiang's words and said with a smile: "Yes, what are your last words?" ”
Gao Yingxiang's neck shuddered, and then he snorted coldly, and said: "It is said that your Zhou army is fighting a tough battle, but I didn't expect to ambush me today, and if you have the ability to let me go, we will do it with real knives and guns!" Let you see if I'm amazing, or if you're Zhou Jun! ”
Zhou Zheng ignored Gao Yingxiang's nonsense, and looked at Sun Chuanting and the others: "Zhou Jun? ”
Sun Chuanting hurriedly said: "It's not that we call ourselves, it's the name of the army led by the adults outside." ”
Zhou Zheng sighed and said, "Don't talk nonsense with him." Convey the information of Governor Hong and Governor Lu about our situation here, and write to the imperial court, and I will come from the imperial court in person. Prepare manpower to escort this person to the capital. ”
A group of people naturally should be, if this person is sent to the capital, they will definitely be a great achievement!
Gao Yingxiang saw that Zhou Zheng was not fooled at all, and stretched out his head again and said: "I know you, the court has made things difficult for you, and still wants to kill you, right?" You follow me, I will make you the first general under me, in the future I will be the emperor, I will be your king, no one can control it, so much carefree, why bother to suffer the bird anger of the emperor Lao Tzu......"
Zhou Zhengcheng didn't hear Gao Yingxiang's persuasion, waved his hand at everyone, and said, "Clean up, let's go to Xi'an Mansion." ”
Sun Chuanting, Cao Bianjiao and others responded, leaving only Meng Hezhou on the side.
Zhou Zheng restrained his expression, looked at Gao Yingxiang and said lightly: "Go for interrogation." ”
Meng Hezhou suddenly understood, leaned close to Zhou Zheng's ear, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, my lord, I know that he will come to the court alive and be measured." ”
Zhou Zheng snorted, looked at this Gao Yingxiang again, and looked to the north.
Li Zicheng was rushing to Xi'an Mansion at this time, and he didn't know if he could meet it.
Gao Yingxiang was taken away by Meng Hezhou with an unknown face.
Cao Bianjiao and the others hadn't come back yet, Meng Hezhou turned back first, stood behind Zhou Zheng, handed over a stack of papers, and said in a low voice: "My lord, it's almost, asking too many questions is easy to arouse the suspicion of the imperial court." ”
Zhou Zheng took it, slowly flipped through it, and said for a moment: "Write it down, and then burn it." ”
Meng Hezhou said: "Yes." ”
By the time Zhou Zheng returned to Xi'an, his letter had already spread in the northwest.
Whether it was Hong Chengchou or Lu Xiangsheng, they were greatly shocked when they heard the news, and the bandits took the opportunity to attack Xi'an Mansion, so the two of them arranged a large army and rushed to Xi'an Mansion in person.
As soon as the two moved, the bandits began to flee and wander in the vast northwest.
Zhou Zheng, the governor of Shaanxi, came to Xi'an for the first time.
The prefect of Xi'an Prefecture saw that Zhou Zheng led a large army to come, and also captured the bandit leader Gao Yingxiang, naturally he was very happy and hospitalized, which was called a courtesy, Zhou Zheng had never enjoyed such treatment as a lower official.
Zhou Zheng took over Xi'an Mansion, arranging defense, staring at Li Zicheng's movements, and waiting for news from the capital.
Before the letter arrived in the capital, Lu Xiangsheng moved Xi'an Mansion from Shanxi first.
Lu Xiangsheng came to see Zhou Zheng non-stop, looked at Zhou Zheng with a dusty face, and raised his hand excitedly and said, "Governor Zhou." ”
It stands to reason that the governor and the governor are different from the governor, and there is no strict subordination, generally speaking, the status of the governor is a little higher, but Lu Xiangsheng is the prime minister of the five provinces, and Zhou Zheng, the governor of Shaanxi, also belongs to his moderation.
Zhou Zheng didn't hold it up, raised his hand and said, "The lower officials have seen Governor Lu. ”
Lu Xiangsheng's face was still dusty, he pressed Zhou Zheng's hands, and said very happily and politely: "You and I are almost the same sunrise in Beijing, you rectify Yongping Mansion, Hejian Mansion, I rectify Daimyo's Mansion, Baoding Mansion; Then you fight against Jianyu, and I will suppress the bandits, although they are not in the same way, they are also half of the comrades, you don't need to be polite! ”
Zhou Zheng knew that most of this enthusiasm came from his capture of Gao Yingxiang.
After a few polite words, Zhou Zheng took Lu Xiangsheng to the prison to see Gao Yingxiang.
When Lu Xiangsheng saw Gao Yingxiang, he was completely relieved, Zhou Zheng did not ask for credit indiscriminately, the bandit leader of the Northwest Rebellion was really captured!
Lu Xiangsheng was overjoyed and pulled Zhou Zheng to drink in Xi'an Mansion.
Both of them are civilian officials, and they are in the military, so naturally there are topics.
While the two were drinking and talking, Zhou Zheng's recital also arrived in the capital.
This recital was first sent to the General Political Envoy Division, and the General Political Envoy looked at this recital, wiped his eyes I don't know how many times, but he didn't dare to believe it, and sent it to the new military secretary Yang Sichang overnight.
Even Yang Sichang is not sure, after all, Gao Yingxiang has been in the northwest for seven or eight years, and the officials and troops have nothing to do with him, and Zhou Zheng has only been there for half a year and caught him?
Yang Sichang sent a letter to Lu Xiangsheng on the one hand, Hong Chengchou verified, and on the other hand, he entered the palace overnight with Zhou Zheng's recital.
Late at night, Qianqing Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion is still brightly lit.
