A few days ago, Zhang Xianzhong Liankeshucheng and Liu'an, known as the "King of the Great West", intended to fight against the court with King Li Zi, and took advantage of the situation to coerce more than 300,000 troops of the Great Western Army to enter the siege of Luzhou.

Li Zicheng couldn't believe that Zhang Xianzhong was trapped by himself not long ago, but he only got Luo Rucai's 500 horsemen, and he actually made a comeback at such a fast speed?

Zhang Xianzhong's claim to be the king of Daxi not only made Li Zicheng anxious, but also accelerated the pace of sweeping Henan.

The Great Western Army came to attack, and the prefect Zheng Luxiang was in danger, but a literati wielded a sword to kill several fugitives, and strictly ordered Zhao Xingji and Zheng Yuanshou and others to lead the people to refuse to defend.

Because no one in the city had fled, the advance of the Great Western Army was blocked, and it was not captured for a while.

It turned out that when the Great Western Army attacked the city, Tixue Yushi was trying to test the scholars in Luzhou City, Zhang Xianzhong heard that his doubts were dispelled, and he ordered Li Dingguo to lead his foot soldiers to disguise themselves as Confucian students and enter the city from the side gate.

Li Dingguo set up a miraculous feat for the Great Western Army, and suddenly set a fire in the city in the middle of the night, and the flames were soaring to the sky for a while, and the people fled, and the officials and troops could not stop it, so they did not attack and became chaotic.

When the Great Western Army heard the news, it was besieged in Luzhou, and in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the city of Luzhou was broken.

The ocean-like peasant army rushed into the city carrying the "Onishi" recognition flag, and the corpses of the Ming soldiers were pushed down the city one after another.

The prefect Zheng Luxiang scolded Zhang Xianzhong with disgust, Zhang Xianzhong was furious, and he was killed by the corpse, and the Great Western Army claimed to be 500,000 after the battle of Luzhou, and swept south.

In addition, Li Zicheng fought in Henan and won a success, and was deeply worried about Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, and under Niu Jinxing's plan, he soon took the winning army to besiege Kaifeng again.

Niu Jinxing expected that if Kaifeng was encircled but not attacked, the Shandong army would refuse to defend it, so as to confuse the Ming army of other departments to reinforce Kaifeng.

As Niu Jinxing said, the Shandong General Army, the Zuo Du Governor, and the Zhonglie Bo Wang Zheng successively requested to send troops to rescue, but Emperor Chongzhen resolutely abandoned the Shandong Army, so that the Shandong Army was not allowed to leave the country, and urgently ordered Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, to lead the soldiers and horses of the four towns of Zuo Liangyu, Hu Dawei, Yang Dezheng, and Fang Guoan to aid Henan.

Yang Wenyue led the official army of the four towns, known as 200,000, and the army fought on the plain, and when the fierce battle was fierce, Zuo Liangyu saw that the thief was powerful, and he was afraid of unease, so he pulled out the camp and fled in a hurry.

Fleeing to the halfway, encountered an ambush by the intruding army, a tiger Li crossed the mountain and called to kill Zuo Liangyu, Zuo Liangyu was even more afraid, and he did not look back with his son Meng Geng to the south, and hundreds of thousands of the left army were scattered in chaos, discarding thousands of mules and horses, thousands of clothes and armor, and even the prison army died in the battle.

As soon as Zuo Liangyu fled, the governor Yang Wenyue couldn't restrain the soldiers and horses of the other three towns at all, and the armies scattered in a hurry, broke into the army and won a great victory, chased the officials and troops for thirty miles, and captured mules and horses.

Many people heard that Li Zicheng defeated the Ming army of more than 200,000 in Kaifeng, and they thought that there must be reinforcements from Shandong.

In this battle, the soldiers and horses of the Shandong army stationed inside and outside Kaifeng City received the military order of the Marshal of Licheng, and kept the troops unmoved from beginning to end, but later sent people to welcome Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, and Wu Weizhong, the deputy commander of Yangwu, into the city.

When the chasing cavalry of the Chuang army saw the person who came to greet him under the banner of the Shandong Army, he immediately turned his horse and left, without any love of fighting.

After Yang Wenyue's defeat, Emperor Chongzhen completely lost patience with him, and was furious in the court, so he wanted to arrest him and behead him in Beijing to deter the three armies, but Chen Xinjia, who was still in the military department and entered the cabinet to participate in the secrets, objected to this.

Chen Xinjia said that Yang Wenyue was Wang Zheng's old boss, but he had a good relationship and close contacts, and he was rescued by the Shandong army after several defeats.

Chongzhen suddenly felt that this was reasonable, and the three biggest soldiers of the Ming Dynasty at the moment were Zuo Liangyu, Zheng Zhilong, and Wang Zheng.

Among them, Zuo Liangyu is rootless, so there is no need to worry, but Zheng Zhilong and Wang Zheng are different, one occupies Fujian and the other occupies Shandong.

Although Emperor Chongzhen was angry in his heart, he finally compromised and ordered Yang Wenyue to be removed from the post of governor of Baoding, never to be used, and ordered Zuo Liangyu to make meritorious contributions.

When this news came out, no one inside and outside was surprised, with the current strength of the Shandong army, if you want to keep someone from dying, even if you give the order to kill today, you can't move the slightest.

Chongzhen also understands that doing so is nothing more than taking humiliation on himself, it is better to push the boat down the river, which can be regarded as sending the king to fight for face.

It is very interesting to say that after the invasion army entered the siege of Henan, it did not attack the city, and when the imperial reinforcements arrived, they immediately abandoned the siege and turned to attack it.

After defeating the reinforcements of the four towns led by Yang Wenyue, the Chuang army did not have any intention of besieging Kaifeng, and did not stay in Kaifeng at all, but pursued Zuo Liangyu fiercely.

Zuo Liangyu knew that he was invincible to Li Zicheng, so he could only throw away his armor all the way, and fled in the direction of Xiangyang in embarrassment, insulting the thief thousands of times in his heart

Yang Wenyue was originally a general of the defeated army, and he was dismissed by the emperor of the dynasty and never resigned, and he was also disheartened at the moment, and it was expected that there would be many civil and military officials who would sneer at him after entering the city.

What is surprising is that after Yang Wenyue entered the city, he still seemed to be a high-ranking governor, and those civil and military officials of the imperial court in Kaifeng City had always accompanied him with a smile, and did not dare to have any disrespect at all.

At this time, a military general in front of him came over and saw that it was Liu Guoneng, and Yang Wenyue suddenly realized that it was the Wang Zheng who was originally in the Wendeng camp of Dengzhou Mansion.

He hasn't forgotten himself...

Speaking of which, from the time he left his post as governor of Denglai to the present, Shandong doesn't know what has become, and he really wants to go back and see.

The Shandong army was stationed in Kaifeng City as early as possible, and controlled everything in the city openly and secretly, as the chief general of Kaifeng Mansion determined by Wang Zheng, although Liu Guoneng was only a garrison in the official face, but he had heavy troops.

There are more than 5,000 soldiers and horses from outside the Shandong army in the city, all of which are in his hands.

didn't say it, Liu Guoneng found a good backer, his fists are big, and he has the strength to be anti-guest-oriented, and the prefect governor Mo said that he was respectful, at least he had to obey the words of this little guard, not to mention others.

In this case, it seems that the Shandong army is the master, and the court officials in Kaifeng City have become guests, and everything is in the hands of the Shandong army, and there is a feeling that they have to bow their heads under the roof of others.

If the Shandong army wants to borrow a knife to kill people, it is even more simple, Henan is all over Kaifeng and Guide Liukou less, the rest are full of bandits from all walks of life, as long as you are thrown out of Kaifeng City, you will be caught by thieves after only two days, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to beg for a knife at that time.

"Uncle Zhonglie has prepared a mansion in Licheng, and told the last general to send Inspector Yang to Shandong alive and lively."

Hearing this, the surrounding officials showed envious expressions.

That place in Shandong is something that ordinary people can't go to if they want to, and it is said that there have been no bandits for a long time, and it is simply a paradise.

Speaking of this, many people suddenly felt that Wang Zheng was not an arrogant and unreasonable martial artist like in the message, and he should be regarded as a person who was quite reasonable.

Yang Wenyue has only been his official for a few years, and he has the grace of promotion and acquaintance, but at this point, he still hasn't forgotten his kindness.

When Yang Wenyue was the most down-and-out and others couldn't hide because they were afraid of Chongzhen, Wang Zheng was able to take him to Licheng regardless of the opinion of the imperial court, which was really rare.

The iron helmet on Yang Wenyue's head was thrown somewhere, his hair was scattered, and the armor on his body was also tattered, and he looked very frustrated.

Hearing this, and then looking at the respectful Liu Guoneng, Yang Wenyue felt a deep helplessness in his heart, but he looked in the direction of Jingshi and sighed heavily, and then said:

"That's it, please ask Lord Liu to lead the way."
