The thieves actually stopped on the east bank of the Wei River, this good news was like a long drought and nectar, and it came too suddenly, so that in the lobby, the officials who were in the lobby were a little at a loss for how to defend Xi'an under the destruction of the thieves, and there was a feeling of disbelief.

Hong Chengchou, a latecomer, didn't believe his ears at the time, looked around blankly, saw that his colleagues were as dumbfounded as himself, and couldn't help but look at the host Li Yingzhi again.

At this time, Li Yingzhi rushed forward with an arrow and grabbed the little official who reported the news. With a trembling voice, he asked carefully, "What did you say?" You repeat. ”

The little official was dragged by the collar by the adult, and he was out of breath for a while, and he couldn't say it completely. In this way, Li Yingzhi misunderstood, thinking that this little official was still busy and fainted, and reported the thief to the city that he was unable to move forward on the east bank of the Wei River, so, with a loss of empty joy, let go of the little official, and helplessly spread his hands to Hong Chengchou and said: "It seems that the thief is coming really fast, this has already stopped the city, and the rest is how we divide our troops to defend." Brother Yanyan, my ability to be a brother is limited, and you still have to work hard for the overall situation, and I will listen to the arrangement as a body of sin. After speaking, he was already tired and excited.

Losing most of Shaanxi, as the first governor of Shaanxi, is no matter what, he can't get out of it, now the Beijing division is in a hurry, the emperor can't take care of condemning himself, once the Tartars are gone, the crisis in Beijing is solved, and the time for his death will come, look at Hong Chengchou who came in a hurry, is not the trilateral governor Yang He preparing to take over his own rights? It's just a nice sound, saying that it's to help you deal with thieves, it's just good.

But it's okay, the rest of the mess will be managed by this young and capable Hong Chengchou.

At this time, the little official was loosened his neck, and finally took a breath, and shouted loudly again: "My lord, it's not that the thieves are besieging the city, but according to He Renlong, the deputy chief soldier sent someone to report, after the thieves took Weinan, they didn't move, and the thieves stopped attacking." As he shouted this, the little official was already crying.

Yes, this is indeed good news, good news can not be better, not to mention what kind of connotation is behind this news, but this pause of the thieves has given the Xi'an officials and soldiers the rarest breath, which is the favor of God.

Hong Chengchou rushed up with an arrow step, grabbed the neck of the little official, and asked loudly, "Is the news accurate?" ”

"Let go, let go, sir." At this time, the little official was choked for the second time, where was he relieved? At that time, I was blushing again and my neck was thick, almost to the point that my eyes were protruding.

Du Wenhuan saw the opportunity quickly, and hurriedly pulled Hong Chengchou's hand away, and said with a smile to Hong Chengchou: "This news should not be wrong, after all, this is from Lord He Renlong after the break, and it should be true." ”

Hong Chengchou let go, and then slowly turned around, silently in the face of the map in the lobby, not that he was really calm, but his heart could not be calmed, he asked for his life to rush to Xi'an when he was in danger, although he was selfish, but the real intention was to contribute to the safety of the world of the Ming Dynasty, originally thought that coming here was a rotten mess that could not be rotten for himself, the soldiers were in the city, and the hard fight was already within his expectations, but he didn't want to, God favored, so that the thieves inexplicably stopped in Weinan, haha, this is a great opportunityThis is a chance for God to give himself a chance to stand out.

As the first governor of Shaanxi, he saw that a large area of rivers and mountains had fallen into the hands of thieves but was helpless for himself, and he was waiting for himself to see the end of the noon gate, but he was waiting for himself, but at this time, it was a turning point, so that he could see hope again.

He stepped forward and grabbed the little official's neck again, and asked loudly, "Where is General He Renlong now?" Come to me soon. ”

The unlucky little official was suffocated and his face was red and his neck was thick, seeing that he was about to lose his breath after tossing and turning several times like this, at this time, a sound of footsteps came from outside the lobby, followed by a loud voice and reported loudly: "Yan'an garrison, hang the string of the deputy chief soldier of Shaanxi, and the last general He Renlong asks to see all the adults." “

When Li Yingzhi heard this, he heard the sound of heaven, where did he still remember the noble and martial arts, threw away the suffocated little official, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and invite General Long." Then he couldn't wait to go out, not because he was going to greet him, but because he was really anxious, hoping to get accurate news as soon as possible, which was indeed related to his own life.

As soon as the light in the lobby dimmed, a tall and burly body appeared at the entrance of the lobby.

At this time, the full hall of civil and military people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as long as He Renlong came, the battle situation would not go badly, because, after all, after the last break, he was the one who defended the west bank of the Wei River, and it seemed that the Wei River was worry-free.

At this time, all the people squeezed up together, and they all gave salutes to this reckless man who was originally unable to see the eyes of the law, and now he is a man who has no martial arts demeanor, hoping that under everyone's care, He Renlong can really solve problems for everyone.

At this time, everyone found out that in the real battle formation, the strength of the sword and gun is still better than the mouth, and at this time, it is the right time to pat the warrior's ass at this time, at least, in case of this big victory, you can also get some benefits in the warrior's bowl Military merits come out, in order to offset past sins and save your life.

He Renlong didn't look at everyone's faces at this time, walked a few steps, and bowed to the benefactor Hong Chengchou, all of which lost the arrogance he had when he just came in.

For He Renlong's performance, Hong Chengchou is very useful. After all, this He Renlong still knows how to be grateful to Dade, and at the same time, it also shows that he has not been bought by Li Yingzhi, who was his own in the same year.

took a step forward, mixed with He Renlong, and couldn't help but practice and blame: "The proprietor, Lord Li, is inquiring about the military situation, and we can't delay because we meet." “

At this time, He Renlong stood up and once again gave Li Yingqi, Du Wenhuan and other officials a formal salute.

At this time, where can Li Yingqi take care of this? At that time, he asked urgently: "General He, did the thieves really stop moving?" Is there really no thief haunted in Xi'an? “

He Renlong was very disdainful in his heart, these guys who could only talk about rhetoric, but his face was extremely respectful and said to Hong Chengchou and He Li Yingzhi: "As the lieutenant general I just sent reported, the thieves are indeed shrinking in Weinan and not advancing, and now, we have time." “

After getting He Renlong's confirmation, there was a burst of boos in the hall, which was everyone's relieved breath. Some short-sighted officials have already begun to celebrate each other.

"What did the thief stop for this time?" Hong Chengchou is not as relaxed as everyone else, after all, he came this time because he was entrusted by Yang He, and he didn't dare to be careless.

In fact, this time he asked for help in danger, and he was ordered to be in danger, and he was entrusted by Yang He, as soon as Li Yingqi, the governor, was already guilty, and he was about to go to the court at all, and this Shaanxi needed a person who dared to do things to come out and clean up this mess, although the emperor did not have the energy to take care of this place, but it was at this time that he could go up and down and smash some black pots on this Li Yingqi's head, and resist for everyone.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou, who had just taken office, was assigned by Yang He, not to mention that there is also a capable general of Hong Chengchou here, and the real fierce general He Renlong on the three sides is here.

He Renlong looked at the people near Zuo, and reported loudly: "Qi Qi two adults, this time the thief and our army, although it was lucky to win, but under the brave fight of my Ming loyal and brave soldiers, it has also been greatly injured, and now the thief is already at the end of the crossbow, and it is difficult to launch a large-scale attack." Looking at the officials who were already full of joy, He Renlong raised his voice again and said: "And we, now in Xi'an City, have organized an army of 70,000 troops, it is the right time to have a high fighting spirit and recuperate, at this time, the opportunity for our counterattack has arrived." “

He Renlong's remarks immediately boosted the morale of the officials and gentry in the hall, yes, the army composed of homeless people is not the opponent of the official army, look, this leaks their details, well, the end of the strong crossbow, it is a good time to counterattack, in that way, as soon as our 70,000 army comes out, it will be devastated, then Shaanxi is still our Shaanxi, and all the blame for everyone's crimes will no longer exist.

Li Yingzhi was also infected by this atmosphere, and shouted loudly to those officials: "Even if it is hot, then everyone has not paid for it, prepare soldiers, horses, money and food, we will attack immediately, and the thieves will be exterminated tomorrow." “

Those officials agreed with a bang, and immediately resigned one after another to prepare for the decisive battle.

Seeing that the people dispersed, Li Yingqi, Du Wenhuan, Hong Chengchou and He Renlong were left in the lobby, at this time, Li Yingqi's originally excited face suddenly turned pale, and asked softly: "General He, tell you the truth, has the thief really reached the end of the crossbow?" “

Seeing that there was no one left and right, He Renlong saluted again, and said in a solemn voice: "The thieves didn't have many casualties this time, and now the thieves are not moving forward, but they are going to other places, such as Tongguan, such as Hanzhong." Speaking of this, He Renlong looked at the adults with his eyes, and said in a sad tone: "Everyone, Shaanxi is resting." “

Hong Chengchou nodded lightly, looked at Li Yingqi and then at Du Wenhuan, who was also depressed, and said in a deep voice: "This is the truth and cannot be changed." Suddenly, he waved his hand and said: "At this time, not only should we not retreat in Xi'an, but we should come out with a large army and set up a decisive battle with the thieves on the west bank of the Wei River." “

Everyone knows and understands what Hong Chengchou means, at this time, they can only use this lie to boost the morale of the army and fight a decisive battle with the thieves, otherwise, there will really be no result.

"Attack, decisive battle." After a long time, Li Yingqi regained consciousness, raised his fists and shouted loudly.

Yes, attack, at least let the emperor know that we are still doing something.
