Chapter 121: Guide

The dark tide in private is turbulent and has not been released, but on the bright side, Li Zicheng is broad-minded and has a heart for Yuan Shizhong. Yuan Shizhong was fiercely loyal to Li Zicheng, while Luo Rucai was deeply righteous, and the three of them were as good as a family.

As soon as the war in Chenzhou was understood, Yuan Shizhong asked for orders: "King Chuang wants to attack Guide, the last general will ask for the vanguard, and the last general will be close to Guide for several years, and he is familiar with both people and land, and he will definitely be able to capture Guide City for King Chuang." ”

"Okay." Li Zicheng naturally has no reason to disappoint it.

This time, there was no need for Zhang Xuan to ask for his life, Li Zicheng arranged Zhang Xuan to be Yuan Shizhong's deputy general. Yuan Shizhong selected more than 10,000 elites in the army, and 3,000 of Zhang Xuan's subordinates. For the pioneer, out of Chenzhou. After all, the three battalions are combined, there are 100,000 people who can fight, and there are hundreds of thousands of old and weak soldiers who are attached, which can be described as mighty. Compared with when Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai came out of the southern foot of Songshan Mountain, there were more people.

However, Chenzhou, the county near Chenzhou, is almost frightened. The two counties of Luyi and Zhecheng did not resist much at all, so Yuan Shizhong and Zhang Xuan captured it.

But Guide to Germany is very different.

Guide is a big house. An important town in eastern Henan. In terms of status, it is still above Chenzhou, and Chenzhou City has already made the two of them suffer enough, if it weren't for the mistake in the storage of gunpowder in the city, Zhang Xuan thought to himself that he might not be able to capture Chenzhou, and he had to wait for the main force to arrive.

March 23,

Xiao Yuanying and Zhang Xuan's subordinates came to Guide City.

Yuan Shizhong and Zhang Xuan walked around the city, and they knew that this city was not something they could shake.

Guide City is the land of the Song Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, which is the upper reaches of the Jianghuai River and the strength of Luobian. The reason why Li Zicheng decided to go down to Germany first and then attack Kaifeng this time was because there was a return to Germany, Kaifeng had something to rely on, and once Guide went to Germany, south of the big river, near Kaifeng, there was no place for officials and troops to gather.

In this way, Kaifeng is truly isolated.

Attacking and returning to Germany is the prelude to attacking Kaifeng.

And in the city of Guide, it is not a generation of wine bags and rice bags.

Zhang Xuan looked over, but saw that above the city, the artillery was equipped with rolling stones and sassholes, and each side was commanded by a big flag, which showed that the civil officials who defended the city of Guide were doing quite well.

Guide City, is built by the old north city in the Hongzhi period, the old city wall of Guide, is the south city wall, after completion, the city is surrounded by seven miles, there are four gates, the city wall is two zhang five feet high, the city head is two zhang wide, all are the brick rammed earth city wall. This is the basic specification, in the past dynasties have been reinforced, above the city head, there is a corner tower female wall, but also hang this hanging tower, the so-called hanging tower is solid wood to hit high, protruding from the city wall, can

Attack directly under the corner. Two more water gates were opened, and there were four side gates, and then there was the moat, which was two feet wide, and there was a wire suspension bridge on the moat, which was the same as the gates, and the moat embankment, which was also a mile from the city wall.

The city wall is so strong, coupled with the guards guarding the city, and the arrangement is also in good order, Zhang Xuan has already dispelled the intention of attacking the city, not to mention whether he can capture it, even if it is captured, all his little capital will be folded here.

Yuan Shizhong said: "Shall we attack?" ”

Zhang Xuan could see Yuan Shizhong's thoughts at a glance, and Yuan Shizhong had no intention of attacking the city, and said: "No, return to Dejian City, don't go down suddenly, let's find out the news first, and report it to King Chuang." ”

Yuan Shizhong smiled slightly and said: "The hero sees the same thing, Liang Yizhang is a hard bone." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "This Lord Liang, can Brother Yuan say something." ”

Yuan Shizhong said: "Where can I not say, although this Lord Liang is under the Guan military equipment, but the prestige is above the Guan military equipment, he was originally Taikang Zhi County, and since he was transferred to Shangqiu, he immediately suppressed Yan Zekong, and Wang Shiyu two, especially Yan Zekong, it is said that Yan Zekong, when he pacified Xu Hongru's rebellion a few years ago, he made great contributions, and was given a python robe by His Majesty, and he can be regarded as a figure with means, but he is willing to be under Liang Yizhang, which shows Liang Yizhang's means. The most famous deed of this Liang Yizhang is to level Huang Lao Mountain. Liang Yizhang personally put on armor and defeated Huang Laoshan, Liang Yizhang bit and did not let go, and chased from Guide City to Ningling. Killed Huang Laoshan before withdrawing troops. Now the officers and soldiers want to protect themselves, as long as they repel the thieves, like Lord Liang, they would rather chase out the territory than cut the grass and eradicate the roots, which suddenly shocked many people, and they did not dare to offend Guide City again. ”

In Yuan Shizhong's tone, he had a little respect for Liang Yizhang, but a little disdain for Huang Laoshan and others.

Zhang Xuan listened to Yuan Shizhong talk about Liang Yizhang's deeds, and looked at the Liangzi banner at the head of the city, but in his heart he was secretly thinking about Yuan Shizhong. From Yuan Shizhong's tone, Zhang Xuan felt that although Yuan Shizhong was now standing opposite the court, he didn't want to be recognized by the court all the time.

Zhang Xuan felt more and more that Yuan Shizhong was just a Song Jiang. It's just that the only difference between Yuan Shizhong and Song Jiang is that there is no way to recruit An.

It's just that Zhang Xuan doesn't know that in Yuan Shizhong's opinion, Zhang Xuan is clearly a fellow with him.

Because Yuan Shizhong also felt that Zhang Xuan was not so repulsive to the court officials. Unlike other rebels, if you move, you will be a dog officer, and if you call, you will be a dog thief. But I don't know that Zhang Xuan has a special feeling for the Ming Dynasty, thanks to the Qing Dynasty behind, Zhang Xuan has a certain good impression of the Ming Dynasty, and also has a certain admiration for these loyal officials, however, admiration is admiration, Zhang Xuan understands very well, Ming can not be revived, the longer he is in this era, the more he understands this truth, and the resistance is full

The Qing Dynasty could not afford to shoulder the heavy responsibility. Whether it is in history or in reality, in the late Southern Ming Dynasty, almost all the economic divisions of the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty were gone, and they only relied on the remnants of the Dashun Army, the remnants of the Daxi Army, and the Zheng family.

Therefore, he admires and admires, and he will never take refuge in the Ming Dynasty.

But these were not what Yuan Shi understood, so he got closer to Zhang Xuan.

No matter how Yuan Shizhong and Zhang Xuan set up camp outside Guide City and prepared to receive the army. In the city, Liang Yizhang also convened in the city, and all the officials of all sizes discussed.

"The thief came from the southeast." Liang Yizhang said: "The momentum is huge, stretching for dozens of miles, and the thieves are sharp, and it is the time for my generation to defend the land and serve the country." It's just a matter of conquest, the first is in the special order, and if the order is not specialized, the big thing will not be accomplished, and now there is no owner in the city, but I don't know which predecessor is willing to defend the city. ”

Liang Yizhang is young and vigorous, and now he is in the prime of life, at the age of thirty-four. Just as Yuan Shizhong commented on Liang Yizhang, needless to say, he is the first in the township test, that is, Xie Yuan was born. Wu De can take office alone, repeatedly destroy Dakou, and since moving to Shangqiu County, he has no time to sleep and exterminate Huang Laoshan. There is a responsibility for who is self-sacking.

Although Liang Yizhang asked who was willing to preside, the implication was that he should not give up.

Since the rebellion in Henan, I don't know how many officials dare not come to Henan to take office, so there are many official positions in Henan that are vacant, and not everyone has the courage of Liang Yizhang. For example, the most important official of Guide, the prefect of Guide, is actually vacant.

Now the three officials with the largest official positions in the city are Liang Yizhang of Shangqiu Zhixian County, Guide Tongzhi, Yan Zekong, and Guide Wang Shirust.

The three of them have their own advantages compared to each other, the same knowledge, the promotion of the official, the official position is above the prefect, but the second official, not the main position, although the prefect is small, but the official is the official of the seal, at this time, with the same knowledge temporarily replaced the prefect. It was the most procedurally sound, and it was not a peaceful time at that time.

Yan Zekong sighed secretly in his heart, if he was more than ten years younger, he would never give this matter to others, but the years are urging people to get old, he is no longer Yan Zekong, who participated in the pacification of Xu Hongru's rebellion twenty years ago, he does not have the energy to take on the heavy responsibility of defending the city.

"The old man is old and can't afford to defend the city, only Liang County Ling is young and heroic, and he has the heart of the soldiers. Yan Zekong said.

"Thank you, Senior Yan." Liang Yizhang said without a hint of pushing.

"You don't have to thank me." Yan Zekong said: "Just keep the city of Guide." ”

Liang Yizhang said loudly: "I don't dare to say that Guide City will definitely be able to defend it, but the city is in the people, and the city is dead."
