Chapter 264: Chongzhen's Conspiracy

Chongzhen's order was delivered to Lu Xiangsheng here, Lu Xiangsheng immediately did it, he couldn't stay here in Shaanxi at all, in the case of natural disasters, not to mention food here, even the bark was gnawed away.

Even if he put a knife on the neck of a local official, he could not threaten food. He already had a premonition that if this continued, the army would inevitably mutiny, and Chongzhen's order to transfer him suddenly made Lu Xiangsheng breathe a sigh of relief, as long as he could leave the desolate land of Shaanxi, what was there to fear about fighting with the Houjin army.

At least if the battle is won, the soldiers can still grab food from the enemy's hands, and if they still can't march into Henan in Shaanxi, then they are waiting for death.

On the day the order was issued, Lu Xiangsheng immediately took his own 50,000 soldiers and horses to Shanhaiguan to defend against Houjin's attack. As for the 50,000 soldiers and horses left behind, he left them at will, and played the emperor, asking him to send someone to lead him.

However, Lu Xiangsheng had just left, and before Chongzhen could send another general, the 30,000 Dongjiang troops led by Hong Chengchou had already arrived at this time. Knowing that Lu Xiangsheng actually left with 50,000 soldiers and horses, Hong Chengchou immediately felt that the opportunity was coming.

He immediately made a decision and directly launched an attack on the 50,000 imperial army that was scattered like sand. In addition to the fact that there were no generals who could call the shots, the 50,000 imperial army had been hungry for a while, and the army's morale had long been weakened and it was completely unable to unite.

was actually charged by the 30,000 Dongjiang Army led by Hong Chengchou, and directly abandoned his armor and fled.

Such an army without the slightest willingness to resist made Hong Chengchou's impression of the imperial court helpless again. He was completely disappointed with the imperial court at this moment, and the 30,000 Dongjiang troops directly dispersed the 50,000 troops.

It was supposed to be a big battle, but it lasted less than an hour, and it started to end.

At this point, the only threat in Henan was directly lifted, and Chongzhen's desire to let these 50,000 horses go to deal with Li Zicheng, who rose again, was ultimately disappointed.

Early the next morning!

Mao Wenlong learned that Hong Chengchou had directly dispersed the imperial army. Coordinating with what happened in the Beijing division and the movement of the Jin army after receiving the border pass, Mao Wenlong immediately made a decision and gave a direct order.

"Immediately send an order to Hong Chengchou and Chen Jisheng, and the whole army will be dispatched to take the opportunity to conquer Henan." Mao Wenlong shouted in surprise.

"Yes, Commander!" Haoda was also excited, and hurriedly retired after saluting.

Zhuang Yexiang of Kaifeng City also received an order from Mao Wenlong for the first time, asking him to cooperate with Chen Jisheng and Hong Chengchou, and at the same time send troops to take the area around Kaifeng City.

Zhuang Yexiang is worthy of being a strong woman, and she boldly threw the military power to Chengzuo, who stayed there, and he led the troops to the battle. And Zhuang Yexiang directly temporarily got 50,000 people and 30,000 regular troops, a total of 80,000 troops.

In one day, the whole Henan set off wars everywhere, with 30,000 soldiers and horses from Hong Chengchou, 30,000 soldiers and horses from Chen Jisheng and 10,000 soldiers and horses from Guide Mansion totaling 40,000. And Zhuang Yexiang of Kaifeng City directly created an army of 80,000, although it is very watery, but the combat power is still strong under the general trend.

United, a whole 150,000 troops sounded the horn of conquest at the same time in Henan. The horses of Ye County came in and out, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going in front of the gate of Mao's Mansion.

Mao Wenlong sat in the council hall refreshed, and whenever the army took a city, there would be a sentry horse to send the news as soon as possible.

In just half a day, Mao Wenlong has already received a report that the army has taken more than a dozen cities in a row, and if there is no accident at this rate, the war will definitely be quelled by tonight. The whole of Henan will also become Mao Wenlong's bag.

Compared with the joy on Mao Wenlong's side, Chongzhen, who was in charge of Jingshi, was heartbroken. The battle reports were sent non-stop, but not once did the city hold or repel the enemy army, all of them were bad news of defeat.

At the beginning, Chongzhen would lose his temper, but in the back he was completely numb, and he was even ready to give up the whole territory of Henan directly.

The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, Chongzhen is numb and ready to give up, but Wu Chengen is getting more and more anxious. According to his thoughts, this Henan is definitely much better than Shaanxi, and even if he wants to give up, it is definitely not to give up Henan, but Shaanxi, which has become a desolate place and is full of burdens.

"Your Majesty, Henan can't just throw it away, although Mao Wenlong's army is powerful, it is not completely invincible. We only need to call on the defenders from all over the country and ask them to support all parts of Henan, and I believe that we can still stop Mao Wenlong's army. Wu Chengen had to stand up and speak to remind Chongzhen.

"There is no need, whether it is Henan or Shaanxi now, it is a burden for us, and the imperial court can no longer afford it. Instead of struggling to support it like this, it is better to let it go directly, so that we can free up our hands to deal with foreign enemies. Chongzhen's face was cloudy, and he said it lightly, but in fact, his heart hurt so much.

Wu Chengen was suddenly stunned for a moment, he hesitated and said, "Does the emperor have other plans?" ”

Chongzhen, who was originally gloomy, suddenly smiled, only to hear him chuckle and say: "You are the one who is the one, yes, now not only Henan, but also Shaanxi, Shanxi These three places are all wars. They are all affected by natural disasters, and the people are struggling to make a living, and there is constant confusion, but in fact, it is a good thing for us to give up. ”

Wu Chengen frowned and pondered for a while, and said in surprise: "What the emperor means is that we will now throw away these three heavy packages first, and then let Mao Wenlong occupy them." At the same time, let Mao Wenlong fight with those riotous people, and we will take out to deal with Houjin's criminals? ”

Chongzhen smiled and said: "That's true, so that we don't need to be responsible for anything in these three places, just pay close attention to the situation." Mao Wenlong was in a hurry to occupy Henan, and I gave him Henan as he wished. Then I will immediately order all the officials to evacuate, and then there will be no restraint, and Shaanxi will inevitably be in chaos again, as long as there is chaos, there will inevitably be hungry people flocking to settle down in Henan. ”

Wu Chengen had fully understood Chongzhen's intentions at this time, and he smiled with him: "In this way, Mao Wenlong will face countless hungry people who are hungry and cold. If he is unable to accept and appease these hungry people, it will inevitably cause a mutiny at once. ”

"Hahaha...... This is only superficial, and it will inevitably cause a series of reactions later. I let Mao Wenlong also taste the feeling of being burnt! Chongzhen was suddenly in a good mood and laughed.

Chongzhen had such a plan, and then ordered all the remaining officials in Henan to evacuate. As a result, the remaining cities became undefended empty cities, and the Dongjiang army occupied all the remaining cities in Henan without spending a single soldier.
