As mentioned above, Wang Jiayin, the leader of the peasant rebel army, led more than 100,000 troops to invade Zezhou, Shanxi, and the governor of Zezhou quickly informed the governor Lu Xiangsheng on the one hand, and led the troops to Yangcheng to hold on to the righteous army.

Lu Xiangsheng naturally couldn't help but come to the rescue, when he received the emergency document, the recruits had just started training for less than half a month, and the first batch of new flintlock muskets had not yet been issued, so it can be said that the combat effectiveness of 100,000 recruits was not as good as his 1,000 Beijing battalion guards and the 1,000 Guanning iron cavalry brought by Cao Wenzhao. But even so, he had to lead his troops to the rescue, if the thieves occupied Zezhou, the gate to Henan and Jingshi would be opened from this hole, and the thieves would spread to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, then his sin would be great.

After Lu Xiangsheng received Zezhou's emergency document, he immediately organized the generals to discuss and prepare to go to Zezhou, during which Cao Wenzhao proposed that he first lead the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the newly recruited 10,000 cavalry to rush to Zezhou to block the army of the thief King Jiayin, Lu Xiangsheng did not hesitate to reject his proposal.

What are you kidding, the average thief is just that, even if there are 200,000, it is nothing to let Cao Wenzhao take 10,000 cavalry to resist for a while. But this is the leader of the thieves Wang Jiayin, Wang Jiayin Chongzheng has captured Fugu County since the first year, in recent years, it has been looting everywhere, capturing countless cities, robbing I don't know how many gold and silver treasures, weapons and armor are better than the Ming army, plus Wang Jiayin's general Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang is a horse dealer, for Wang Jiayin to get I don't know how many war horses, I heard that they now have 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry alone, Cao Wenzhao took these 10,000 recruits over, it is simply a sheep into the mouth of the tiger, there is no return.

He knew that with the combat effectiveness of his 100,000 recruits, the only way to stop the pace of the thieves was to go forward in a group, and once they were dispersed, they would definitely be broken by Wang Jiayin. And with his 100,000 recruits who have just trained for less than half a month, it is impossible to beat the more than 100,000 thieves under the thief chief Jiayin, only when the flintlock pistol arrives, there may be a chance of winning with the advantage of weapons.

So, on the one hand, he asked the emperor to quickly inform the Beijing division, begging the emperor to send the flintlock pistol over quickly, and on the other hand, he pulled out the camp and prepared to set off.

His reaction was fast enough, and he set off with an army of 100,000 in less than an hour after receiving the emergency document from Zezhou, but the 100,000-strong horse march is not something that can be fast, just the weight of grain and grass is dozens of tons, and it is not okay not to bring it, if you don't take what you eat every day, how do you sleep at night, and just fall down and lie on the ground? That's all the plot in the drama, it's freezing this day, you dare to let your subordinates sleep directly, it is estimated that few will be able to get up the next day!

Wang Jiayin led more than 100,000 horses, and it took five or six days to march from Pingyang Mansion to the neighboring Zezhou, which can be separated by Qinzhou and Lu'an Mansion between Taiyuan Mansion and Zezhou, and it is impossible to arrive in less than ten days and half a month.

It is said that after five or six days of persuasion in Yangcheng, Wang Jiayin finally found that he seemed to have been tricked, and on the sixth day, everything was negotiated, but Yangcheng did not move at all. Not to mention that Kaesong surrendered, and there was no reply to him, he no longer knew that people were using a delaying tactic, then he was a pig.

Wang Jiayin is naturally not a pig, he is the top name of the king of Fugu, after finding out that he was in the scheme, he immediately sent a scout to the north to investigate the movement in the direction of Taiyuan, as he expected, the next day the scout horse returned, Shanxi Governor Lu Xiangsheng led an army of 100,000, and it was less than three days away from Yangcheng!

He didn't panic when he learned the news, 100,000 recruits were just eggs, what was there to be afraid of. He summoned his generals to the tent, reported the situation, and then said proudly: "Let's talk about it, how to clean up this Lu Xiangsheng." ”

Even the "tidying" was used, which shows how much he despised Lu Xiangsheng's 100,000 horses, and the generals did not show a panicked expression, the 100,000 guards who had just put down their hoes, they really didn't know what to be afraid of.

The reason why Hong Chengchou can't be defeated in Shaanxi is because Hong Chengchou's subordinates are all battle-hardened border soldiers, and as for the guards, they have collected more than 100,000 in recent years.

As soon as Wang Jiayin spoke, King Zijin Liang immediately replied: "King, although this Lu Xiangsheng's subordinates are all recruits, we can't take it lightly, if the casualties are too great, it will affect our future development, and there is still a Yang City to attack in front of us." ”

When Wang Jiayin heard this, he thought about it for a while and nodded: "Well, what I said makes sense, although Lu Xiangsheng's subordinates are recruits, but there are also 100,000 people, if we fight hard, we will have at least 50,000 casualties, plus the loss of the siege, the casualties are too great, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to recover, we need to use a plan to clean up this Lu Xiangsheng." ”

As soon as his words fell, King Gao Yingxiang said again: "King, it is a taboo for soldiers to attack far away, in the past, Qin Mugong just didn't listen to Uncle Jian's advice, and the labor division attacked far away, which led to the defeat of the Qin army. Lu Xiangsheng did not understand the art of war, all the way from Taiyuan hurried over, has been marching for no less than ten days, the soldiers must be exhausted, we can take advantage of the camp to sneak attack, we will be able to easily take it. ”

When Wang Jiayin heard this, he stroked his palms and praised: "Yingxiang's plan is very good, our side is waiting for work, and the enemy's labor division is far away, and it will be effortless to clean them up, well, everyone will come and see where they will camp." ”

With that, he got up and walked to the map hanging on the side, and the generals followed suit.

After looking at it for a while, Wang Jiayin laughed and said: "Hahahaha, the north of Yangcheng is surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is an excellent place to camp, and there are many other mountains in other places, but there is no water, Lu Xiangsheng must camp here." ”

Gao Yingxiang looked at the place pointed by Wang Jiayin, and couldn't help nodding and said: "The king is right, this place is more than ten miles away from Yangcheng, the distance is just right, and it is convenient to get water, it is an excellent place to camp, Lu Xiangsheng must camp here." ”

Seeing this, Wang Jiayin no longer hesitated, and immediately returned to the handsome position and said loudly: "The generals will listen to the order." ”

Everyone hurriedly ran back to their positions and stood solemnly.

Wang Jiayin saw that the generals were decided, and then said loudly: "Ling Er and others will move all their men and horses to the north of Yangcheng before today's Shen Shi, and camp on both sides of the camp in the north of the city. ”

The generals arched their hands and said in unison: "The last general obeys." ”

Wang Jiayin waved his hand and said, "Let's go down and prepare." “

When the generals heard this, they retreated one by one, returned to the camp, packed up the stove, and went to the north of the city to camp.

In Yangcheng, the prefect of Zezhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the thieves from the east, west, and south had gathered in the north of the city, and he knew that the governor had finally arrived. As for whether to go out of the city to greet them, such a stupid question naturally doesn't need to be considered, there are still more than 100,000 thieves among them, do they go out of the city to find death?
