At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the two emperors of Huan Ling were mediocre, pampered the eunuchs, and sold the official beard, so that the world was in turmoil, Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Dong, Gongsun Zhan, Sun Jian and other warlords took advantage of the situation, which directly caused the chaos of the Three Kingdoms.

In fact, there are warlords in the Ming Dynasty, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the situation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was so similar, there were naturally leading generals who supported the army and slowly developed into warlords, but their luck was not very good, and they died for various reasons before they achieved hegemony.

The most famous of the warlords at the end of the Ming Dynasty is Zuo Liangyu, in history he finally had 800,000 troops, entrenched in Huguang, when he was provoked by the prison army Huang Shu, wanted to lead the troops to Jinling, the side of the Qing monarch, however, he was terrified on the way, otherwise there would be a Dong Zhuo or even Cao Cao-style figure at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, although he has not become a climate, but has begun to take on the posture of a warlord, the court ordered him to lead the Shanxi army to exterminate the anti-thief Li Zicheng, but he avoided the important and light, did not fight with Li Zicheng's main force, and singled out the lone anti-thief, in order to win the merit and perfunctory the court.

At the same time, he also began to secretly grab the territory, in preparation for the hegemony of the party, his territory is Huaiqing Mansion and the surrounding area of Luoyang, because Zheng Wang Zhu Yiduo and Fu Wang Zhu Changxun have died at the hands of thieves, Huaiqing Mansion and Luoyang near is equivalent to temporarily become a borderless land, he used the anti-thief raging as the reason, played the imperial court, asked the court not to send civil officials to death, and he himself was entrenched in Luoyang and Huaiqing Mansion, secretly recruited and surrendered soldiers, expanded the army, enslaved civilians, produced food along the river, and gradually grew into a warlord in troubled times.

He thought that the Ming Dynasty had reached the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the imperial court had lost control of the locality, and it was a good time for them to lead the army and generals to divide one side.

Zhang Bin had already defeated Jiannu and recovered Liaodong, and he also returned to the court to get rid of the faint monarch Chongzhen, and replaced him with the prince Zhu Cihong, and he also swept away the corrupt officials and opposition forces in the court through the Jingcha plan.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty can be said to be completely in the hands of Zhang Bin alone, Zhang Bin is not a faint monarch like Chongzhen, and Zuo Liangyu's dream of separating one side cannot become a reality.

After he sent Qian Qianyi to Jinling, Donglin veteran Liu Zongzhou resigned angrily, followed by Li Banghua and Fan Jingwen also resigned one after another, and in the end, even Wen Zhenmeng returned to his hometown because of shame, Zhang Bin took advantage of the situation to promote Lu Xiangsheng to a cabinet scholar, this time, the entire court was almost controlled by his cronies, and he could finally free up his hands to eliminate the thieves and improve the people's livelihood.

If you want the people to live a good life, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left must naturally be exterminated, otherwise they will fight wherever they go, and the people will either be displaced or toss blindly with them, where can they live a good life.

If you want to exterminate the rebels, this Li Zicheng is the first to bear the brunt, because he dominates the Central Plains and blocks the passage to Bashu and Nanzhili, if the army goes to Bashu to clean up Zhang Xianzhong or Nanzhili first to clean up the five battalions of Gezuo, he cuts off the grain road in the middle, then it will be troublesome.

Therefore, Zhang Bin decided to personally lead the army to Henan to exterminate Li Zicheng, open the prelude to the extermination of thieves and the revival of the Ming Dynasty.

To this end, he made careful arrangements.

Lu Xiangsheng, a cabinet scholar and secretary of the military department, was sent by him to Liaodong to personally supervise the division, and he also made large-scale adjustments to the defense of Liaodong.

He did not remove Zu Dale from the position of the general soldier of Fushun, and he was still the chief general of the Tianxiong army, but the Tianxiong army was transferred back to Shenyang by him, and Fushun was garrisoned by the Liaodong general Zu Dashou with 20,000 Liaodong troops.

He did not remove Mao Chengzuo, the chief soldier of Tieling, but he was transferred to Zhenjiang to assist Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Dongjiang, and the Qi family army still had the commander of Qi Yuangong, who was guarding in Tieling.

There is also Chen Jisheng, the chief soldier of Liaoyang, he did not withdraw it, and still led 40,000 Qin troops to garrison Liaoyang, but the 80,000 Fuguang troops originally stationed in Shenyang were transferred to the vicinity of the capital by him, and He Kegang, the general soldier of Shenyang, was also transferred together, but the Fuguang army did not need to be commanded by him, as long as he followed him to give him advice.

He didn't let Lu Xiangsheng march into Salhu and go to destroy Jiannu's lair, but just let them hold Shenyang, Fushun and Tieling, and maintain the status quo for the time being, and wait for him to clean up the anti-thieves.

He didn't do this to doubt Lu Xiangsheng's ability, the main thing was that he wanted to focus on pacifying the rebels first, after the Fuguang army was transferred, there were more than 100,000 horses in Liaodong, and there were so many places to be garrisoned, it would be good to be able to send tens of thousands of horses to march into Salhu, and the terrain of Salhu was too complicated, and Jiannu was very familiar with it, he didn't want Lu Xiangsheng to take risks with tens of thousands of troops.

After arranging all this, he led the Fuguang army on the road, at this time the railway from the capital to Shaanxi was dug up by Li Zicheng, Zhang Bin led the army to the territory of Xiuwu County, Huaiqing Prefecture, he had to get off, because the front of the railway had already been dug into one by one by Li Zicheng, and it could not be opened to traffic at all, and Zuo Liangyu was also for ulterior purposes, always under the pretext of anti-thieves raging, refusing the Ministry of Industry and Dongshengtang to send people to repair.

The fast passage from the capital to Shaanxi and Bashu was cut off like this, and I don't know what Bashu is now tossed by Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Bin looked at the intermittent railway in front of him, couldn't help sighing, and then turned his head to Zu Dabi and said: "Da Bi, did Zuo Liangyu give you any orders, have you seen him since you came?" ”

Zu Dabi this guy is a fool, let him fight, that's a fierce horse, let him lead the army, that's just a bull's head not a horse's mouth, Xue Guoguan suggested that Chongzhen let Zu Dabi lead 50,000 Guan Ning iron horses to support Zuo Liangyu It's just nonsense, fortunately, Zhang Bin confessed to Zu Dabi before leaving, don't listen to Zuo Liangyu's blind command, Zuo Liangyu is not up, he won't go up, don't be used as cannon fodder.

Zu Dabi's brain circuit is indeed relatively simple, and he also has a lot of respect for Zhang Bin, so after he led Guan Ningtie to rush to Xiuwu by car, he simply didn't move!

He still understands how stupid he is, what he thinks is that the area ahead is where the anti-thieves are rampant, and if Zuo Liangyu deliberately cheats him, he will definitely be fooled, it is better to stay here and wait for Zhang Bin, as long as Master Taishi comes, it will definitely be invincible.

Zuo Liangyu actually didn't want Zu Dabi to enter his jurisdiction, after all, it was 50,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry, which was much stronger than the miscellaneous army in his hand, and he had been in Liaodong and knew the prestige of Ning Yuan's ancestral family in the Liaodong Army, even if Zu Dabi was a fool, it was impossible for him to seek to seize the 50,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the generals of the Guanning Army would definitely not agree.

Therefore, he simply followed Zu Dabi's meaning, and let Zu Dabi be stationed in Xiuwu, in the name of guarding the gate of the capital, as for the thief, let him come!

The two sides are stationed in two places with a tacit understanding in this way, Zuo Liangyu didn't even dare to come to visit Zu Dabi in person, he didn't even dare to appear in Huaiqing Mansion, because he was afraid, he was afraid that Chongzhen would make a secret order for Zu Dabi to clean him up, and he couldn't do Zu Dabi's second stunned!

Zu Dabi didn't know this, and as soon as Zhang Bin asked, he said humbly: "Master Qiyu, General Zuo said that he was a thief and didn't have time to visit me." ”

Well, Zuo Liangyu is really cautious enough, how can he lure him over?
