In the lobby of the governor of Yan'an Mansion, the officials and generals gathered together, but this hall was a pin drop that could be heard, allowing the late autumn wind to pass through the hall, with the smell of dry loess, and the breath of the heart, but it could not reduce the sweat of everyone present.

The reason for the sweating is not because Hong Chengchou issued any terrifying general orders again, but because the changes in the situation have exceeded the ability of everyone's hearts to bear - the woman went straight to Kou Gyeonggi, the emperor has a decree, and all the soldiers and soldiers in the north - King Qin.

The army went south to Weinan, this is already a well-known thing in the world, and Hong Chengchou already has confidence in winning this step of the thief.

Just after taking over Yansui, he made corresponding preparations for the established strategy of the thieves. After a lot of thoughtful thinking, all the strategic arrangements, almost done seamlessly, even the pole that worked with the governor of Xi'an to kill the people who were cared for in various places was to eliminate the thieves in the future and eliminate the hidden dangers behind them.

First of all, in May, Hong Chengchou and Li Yingqi reached a consensus that after the last battle of Ganquan blocking the gate, it was no longer realistic to rely on local guards to attack the base areas. However, Qian Tongzhongjun and Zhang Yuanzhouji and other capable staff members made some calculations, and put forward a vicious but absolutely practical series of clever plans for Lu Shi's strategy.

The first step is to encircle on all sides and restrict the development of Lu Shi.

After several major battles, everyone also saw that the officers and troops of the guards in various places were indeed unavailable, and the border troops were expected to fight, but they were beyond the reach of the whip, and the battalions garrisoned in the interior had been abandoned for a long time, especially after October, the main energy of the border army should still be put on guarding against the increasingly strong Mongol Tatars entering the border land, even if they sent troops, it was limited.

Therefore, with the huge financial support of Zhang Yuanben to raise donations from the Xinjin Zhenfu Division, Qian Tongzhong Army took the letter of the governor of the three sides to recruit 5,000 soldiers who could fight and dare to fight, and originally wanted to send him to guard Dengcheng, but when he didn't want everything to be planned, the thieves were fast, and he went down to Dengcheng and other three counties in a fit of anger, so he arranged for the mud to enter the last line of defense in Weinan - Pucheng, and became the deputy of Zhang 15, who was already the garrison of Pucheng, blocking the passage of Lu Shi to the south.

At the same time, he sent Zhang Jiaxiao 17 to garrison Yan'an, purge the people, and prevent Lu Shi from suddenly attacking Yan'an, and then sent Zhang Jiaxiao to rectify Yanchuan to prevent Lu Shi from fleeing north.

Second, relying on the high walls and deep trenches of Pucheng, he turned the siege warfare that he was not good at into the best siege warfare, so that the role was reversed, and Lu Shi was tightly glued to Pucheng, and Lu Shi fought a war of attrition with Lu Shi in exchange for time.

In the third step, when Lu Shi led the army out of the nest, Yan'an, Yanchuan, and Yichuan, the army went out in all directions, entering the old camp of the thief's nest, so that the thieves could not care about each other.

Fourth, and the most critical step, using the financial resources and manpower raised by Zhang Yuan, Hong Chengchou ordered He Renlong, who was known as the enemy of 10,000 people under the command of Yang He, to quietly rectify the military strength around Pucheng, and at the same time, please transfer the official army of Xi'an, and when Lu Shi was trapped under Pucheng and the division veterans were tired, the army attacked from all sides, surrounded Lu Shi in the wilderness, and gave Lu Shi a decisive battle.

Hong Chengchou worked hard for this careful plan, and spared no effort to allocate money and food to support, this time Lu Shi's fate will not be enviable, and the halberd will sink in Pucheng.

However, when everything was about to enter a perfect ending, the arrival of a holy decree completely disrupted Hong Chengchou's calculated calculation - the woman went straight to Kou Gyeonggi, and the emperor ordered King Qin.

What does it mean that heaven does not fulfill people's wishes? That's it.

In fact, this is also the benefit of a time-traveler, who has more or less mastered some historical knowledge, as the so-called, no knowledge and no TV?

Lu Shi, a high school student, traveled to the end of the Ming Dynasty, he knew that the history of the end of the Ming Dynasty was still half-understood, and he knew a little bit about watching TV, which was actually enough.

In October, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to the national soldiers Ding Qinwang, which immediately emptied almost all the troops in Shaanxi, which was exactly what Lu Shi wanted, and this is also the reason why Lu Shi dared to rectify all the horses after the autumn harvest in October, and transferred 10,000 militiamen and 20,000 masters to go to Weinan.

No worries.

Therefore, no matter how ambitious Hong Chengchou was, no matter how meticulous he deployed, he never thought that no one would have thought that it would be this result now.

Originally, the three-way army entered to suppress Lu Shi, but now, if you can't take out a single soldier, everything must be done by the king of diligence, where can you dare to have a little discount? If there is, then in the capital, the trembling clear stream will make you disappear immediately.

As a result, the armies in the north of the Ming Dynasty began to rush eastward in a hurry, even if there was no grain and grass, even if there was no military pay, even if they were hungry, everything was for the emperor of the Han family, a hope in his heart.

Now, Hong Chengchou is holding the emperor's edict of King Qin, sitting on his chair dejectedly, constantly pinching his forehead with one hand.

Just now, just now, a lieutenant ran away with his hat crooked, dirty robe, almost in front of his own yamen, rolled off his horse, pushed away the guards in front of the yamen who came forward to give a salute, and rushed into the governor's office, holding the emperor's edict in one hand, regardless of etiquette, and shouted: "Lord Hong, help-" With this voice, it completely disrupted the original plan to encircle and suppress the thieves.

At that time, when the lieutenant rushed into the lobby, Hong Chengchou was still looking at the plan to start the thief with pride. hurriedly went down to the church, and according to the rules, he had to set up an incense table, put up a robe, and greet the holy decree.

But the lieutenant shouted out of breath: "Lord Hong, the hypocrisy is exempt, and you will accept the order immediately." Without waiting for Hong Chengchou to think about it, he unfolded the holy decree and read it directly without rules, so there was the suffering of Hong Chengchou and all his staff now.

In fact, in his heart, Hong Chengchou knows that the so-called female direct invasion of Gyeonggi will not last long, not to mention that there are still 200,000 forbidden troops in Gyeonggi, and the 40,000 female direct ones alone are just women's wealth, and they have no ambition to plot against the Ming Dynasty at all, even if they let him have a thousand guts, the female straight will not dare to argue with the suzerain, this time, he just wants to put pressure on the imperial court, and wants to hope that the Ming Emperor will agree to his request for peace under this pressure, or he will not appear when the two sides are fighting, and he will also send a monk Yuan Chonghuan to bring him into the capital to make peace.

At the same time, Hong Chengchou was heartbroken and scolded Yuan Chonghuan for misleading the country in front of all his cronies. He scolded Yuan Chonghuan for misleading the country, not because Yuan Chonghuan was good at killing Mao Wenlong, in fact, a civilian official killing a military general, not only is it not a problem in the minds of these civil ministers, but it is a kind of glory, otherwise, there will be no future, when Hong Chengchou became the governor, he killed He Renlong, the general soldier who gave the peasant army the most headache, so that after killing He Renlong, Li Zicheng and others celebrated with a crown, and said angrily: "Kill He Renlong, and our army will be invincible from now on." ”

The civil official kills the military general, and becomes the only way for the civil official to supervise the military in the late Ming Dynasty, he will not care about killing the general, especially the military general who is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and can excel How serious the consequences are.

In the court controlled by Qingliu, as long as the military generals are killed, especially the military generals with great military achievements, it is a kind of stability for the civilian group.

In fact, at this time when the smoke is everywhere, killing the generals is equivalent to cutting down the pillars that support the building one by one in the Ming Dynasty.

Is it a pity? Sorry? Now it is. But at that time, in order to stabilize his power in the imperial court, Qingliu killed anyone, and he would not be criticized, and no one would criticize him, but the whole court cheered in unison.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this absolute crooked trend and came out to stop it, it was already too late, and Mao Wenlong, who had been holding back the Manchu Qing Dynasty for 20 years, died. The suppressed Shaanxi rebels breathlessly He Renlong died, the brave and warlike Sun Chengzong died, the Ming Zhao Shujiao died, and in the future, there were many generals who died, but unfortunately, they did not die in the hands of the enemy, but died in the hands of a clear stream.

Chongzhen killed Yuan Chonghuan, not only because of the failure of his five-year Pingliao promise, but most importantly, Chongzhen was avenging Mao Wenlong, whom he killed.

"My lord, don't draw troops, my lord, don't—" There were two more people who knelt on the ground.

Hong Chengchou raised his eyes and saw that one was Zhou Ji and the other was Zhang Yuan, who was crying bitterly.

"Adult, female straight, ringworm knows the disease, and the thief is the culprit who troubles the world." Zhou Ji lay on the ground, crying bitterly and shouting, affirming the power of this period: "Everything has been arranged, and the work must be in front of you, how can you give up easily?" Zhou Ji looked at Hong Chengchou, who was facing the sinking water, and cried again: "What's more, after a year of development, the thief has developed to this extent, if you give him more time, really let him rush into Weinan and get Guanzhong, then, that, is there still hope for Daming?"

Zhang Yuan also knelt a few steps behind Zhou Ji, his head lying on the ground, crying like a mourner.

He had to cry, in the past year, he had spent countless amounts of money, didn't he want to watch the thieves disappear in front of his eyes, and wanted to take matters into his own hands to avenge his father and son? Now, everything is spent, everything is ready, just waiting for a result to see, but everything is so unexpected, everything is going to be wasted, how can he not be made to cry?

Hong Chengchou looked at the prefect who knelt in front of him and picked it up by himself, his right-hand man, shook his head helplessly and whispered: "Get up and say, get up and talk." ”

When he said this, his face was full of helplessness.

I'm worried, who knows?

I also know that all this has been completed, all of this has been spent, but just this edict has all come to naught, who can be willing?

But what if you don't want to? The emperor's edict, that is the sky, that is everything, don't you go to the king of Qin? Although I know that even if I send the whole Shaanxi army to King Qin, when I arrive in Gyeonggi, it will be too late, and the female straight will have already retreated, and here, all the arrangements for the thieves will be in vain.

But, if you know the situation again, does the Qingliu boss in the court know? Even if they know, if they want to come, they won't really take care of it, their lives must be in absolute safety, Chenchen, is there still this Ming Dynasty?

And what you know well, can you not go to King Qin?

The answer is no, King Qin can be useless, not King Qin, that is a dead end, although it can eliminate the biggest hidden danger thief of the Ming Dynasty, but who will have such a long-term vision?

At that time, it must be himself who will be locked up and taken out of prison first, this is a fact that there is no doubt.

"My lord—" Zhou Ji looked at Hong Chengchou with tears in his eyes.

But Zhou Ji saw unwillingness, helplessness, and an expression of having to be like this on Hong Chengchou's face, thinking about it, he could only sigh with tears.

What else to say? Nothing can be said about it.
