Shangping Pass, the junction of Taiyuan Mansion and Pingyang Mansion, the pass is adjacent to the bank of the Yellow River, located in the northwest corner of Pingyang Shangping Pass, a small pass hides 70,000 troops.

It's been a few days since I've been here.

But the army never left its camp.

Among these 70,000 troops, there are many famous people.

He Renlong, Li Bei, Ai Wannian, Du Wenhuan, He Huchen, Zhang Yingchang, Sun Shoufa, etc., are all generals of the Ming Army in Shaanxi.

This day, in the afternoon.

The brocade-clothed fast horse finally came to Hong Chengchou's camp.

Decree of God.

Hong Chengchou respectfully accepted the order, but after sending away the brocade clothes, his face was gloomy and he was silent.

The emperor is scared of being beaten by Houjin!

Hong Chengchou looked at the east and smiled bitterly in his heart.

All the generals gathered around and waited for the Governor of the three sides, Lord Hong, to speak.

Under the holy decree, the 70,000 troops were ordered to pull out the camp to block Houjin, no matter what calculations were made before, now it is time to obey the emperor's holy decree!

Although everyone is a little greedy and domineering on weekdays, everyone remembers that they are the military attaches of the Ming Dynasty and must obey the will of the imperial court.

Now that the saint let go of the Tang thief first and block Houjin, he naturally has to do it.

Hong Chengchou felt embarrassed in his heart, he painstakingly set up an encirclement, repaired the plank road in the dark, and brought 70,000 troops to Shanxi, thinking of exterminating the Tang thieves in one fell swoop, but now he wants to take the order to lead the army to resist Houjin.

Let's not talk about whether you can resist the enemy, once you lead the army to dispatch, it will inevitably alert the Tang thief, even if Jin Zhen is driven out of the pass by the army, and then turn back, the Tang thief has been prepared, and the matter will be cold.

In Hong Chengchou's heart, it is still important to be a Tang thief.

Because he understands that only by beating Tang thieves can he get credit.

But looking at the holy decree in his hand, Hong Chengchou felt the weight in it, today's saint is a suspicious person, even Ji Liao Supervisor Yuan Chonghuan is too late, his own little life is really not as precious as Yuan Inspector!

Hong Chengchou sighed helplessly, and was ready to open his mouth to order the army to go north.

At this moment, the voice of the guards begging to see him came from outside the tent.

An urgent letter came from Fenzhou.

This is a letter from Zhang Zongheng, who is sitting in Fenzhou, and the letter states that the Tang thief led 15,000 people to the north, preparing to go out of the spirit stone, pass through the spirit stone mouth, and go north to kill the captives through Fenzhou.

Hong Chengchou looked at the letter in his hand, shocked, and the expression on his face was complex and changeable.

At this time, the Tang thief actually went north to kill the captives.

Hong Chengchou felt that Tang Xidong must have a bad brain, if it wasn't a bad brain, it would naturally be a fraud.

Who will take care of the matter for himself, or will he lead the army in person?

Hong Chengchou didn't believe that Tang Xidong would really go north to kill the captives, but he looked at the sentence on the letter: Tang thieves abandoned the two cities of Qinshui and Yangcheng in Zezhou.

This sentence made Hong Chengchou begin to believe that Tang Xidong was really going north to kill the enemy.

"Hahahaha......"

Hong Chengchou sat on the Taishi chair and laughed heartily.

Tang thief is looking for death!

Those who are sent to the door are looking for death.

Hong Chengchou found that the clouds in front of him suddenly dissipated.

Isn't the fight against Pingyang just to eliminate the Tang thief?

At this time, the Tang thief was going north, far away from his lair, as long as he led his troops north, he could take the opportunity to behead the Tang thief in Taiyuan Mansion.

In this way, both the divine decree and the great merit have been obtained.

Hong Chengchou felt that it was sunny in front of him.

But at this moment, there is no clear sky between heaven and earth, only heavy rain that keeps falling.

Under the holy decree, the elites of the three sides of Qinyuan will inevitably go north to resist the enemy, and Hong Chengchou is unable to defeat Pingyang on his own, but God opens his eyes and gives himself a both.

Hong Chengchou hurriedly wrote a letter to the secret agent to convey Fenzhou, and ordered Zhang Zongheng to let Tang Xidong pass through Fenzhou as soon as possible no matter what, so that he Hong Chengchou could fight the Tang thieves in Taiyuan Mansion.

And then what about the Golden Cavalry?

Hong Chengchou didn't have the idea of blocking at all, blocking the golden cavalry after 10,000 cavalry, relying on the 70,000 Ming army in his own hands, isn't that a joke?

Hong Chengchou thought that the 70,000 army was difficult to be the opponent of the 10,000 cavalry of the Later Jin, and at this moment in Taiyuan Mansion, there were 30,000 Ming troops who were struggling to fight with the Houjin cavalry.

This is the civil and military attache of the Ming Dynasty, and this is the loyal and good general of the Chongzhen Dynasty.

To each his own way, to each his own way!

————

In Fenzhou, Zhang Zongheng sat in the government office and was as anxious as an ant.

scolded the mother in an angry mouth.

Things changed from the moment the Later Jin army entered Datong Mansion from outside the Great Wall.

Everything that was originally agreed upon was like a piece of paper.

said that he would not loot the three towns, and it became a luxury to go south to Pingyang directly, and at this moment, the 10,000 cavalry of Houjin galloped in Taiyuan Mansion, wantonly killing and looting.

And the so-called big victory that belongs to him Zhang Zongheng has become a joke.

Zhang Zongheng knew that he had been deceived, and he was deceived by Jin Shang and Houjin.

But he can only eat coptis dumbly, and there are words of suffering.

He Zhang Zongheng can't do anything about the other party at all, but there is still a handle for him to collaborate with the enemy.

Then there is no definite evidence, Zhang Zongheng knows that he is dying.

Today's saints are suspicious people, and today's saints are even more irritable people.

He, Zhang Zongheng, was afraid that he was going to do it to the end.

Houjin was attacked from the three sides he guarded, and the three sides were not organized to effectively block the attack at all.

Zhang Zongheng anxiously urged the elites of the three sides to go north to resist the enemy five times a day, and at the same time thought about ways to uncover the dilemma.

But the elites of the three sides are all veterans, who doesn't know that the northward rejection of the enemy this time is to let them die, so the more urgent Zhang Zongheng urges, the more the 30,000 border troops are not in a hurry, and they drag on slowly, hoping that Houjin can get out of the customs as soon as possible.

Yesterday, Zhang Zongheng sent a letter to Hong Chengchou in Shangpingguan, a hundred miles away, and estimated the time, and now the pro-soldiers who passed the message should also come back.

Zhang Zongheng's estimate of time is good.

Half an hour later, the personal soldiers who delivered the message finally arrived at the Yamen of Fenzhou and handed over Hong Chengchou's reply.

Zhang Zongheng also didn't care about the presence of his own soldiers, and directly tore open the letter and looked at ten lines.

Then his face was happy and he laughed.

This Hong Chengchou is really his own nobleman, and he gave himself a smooth road twice in embarrassment.

What Hong Chengchou said in the letter ordered him to let the Tang thief go north as soon as possible, and then once the Tang thief arrived in Taiyuan Mansion, he took the opportunity to besiege and kill the Tang thief It was a great achievement for both of them.

Zhang Zongheng was like a life-saving straw.

He doesn't ask for merit, as long as he keeps the black gauze hat, kills the Tang thief, and offsets the merits and demerits, so that he can be the governor of the three sides for another two years, he Zhang Zongheng will be content.

So Zhang Zongheng put down the letter and returned to the study and quickly wrote down a few superstitious letters.

While issuing it to the generals of the Ming army along the road in Fenzhou, he once again urged the 30,000 border troops to go north as soon as possible.

In this world, everyone has their own way, and Tang Xidong doesn't know that the road he walks is the road set by others.

Even if you know.

If you want to kill him, then come, but first let him cut the heads of a few Tartars with his own hands.

On the 10th, Tang Xidong led 15,000 new troops, crossed Lingshikou, and finally arrived at the boundary of Fenzhou.

Heavy rain poured down, and the mountain road went south.

But Tang Xidong didn't dare to relax, he was afraid that Houjin Tartar would run away.

But he didn't know that at this moment, when he was thinking about Houjin Tartar, the other party also began to think about him!
