At the time of the uprising, Yuan Shizhong took more than a dozen relatives and killed more than 400 imperial officers and soldiers who were encircled and suppressed in Huaxian County, and fled in all directions, and suddenly became famous in the territory, and soon pulled up a force of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

But now look at this Shandong army, the spear enters the forest, the order is forbidden, Yuan Shizhong can see a kind of arrogance in the bones from the body of every soldier, this arrogance comes from the king character Huanglong banner behind them.

Originally, Yuan Shizhong was running for the name of Wang Zheng, and he was in a hurry to be chased by Li Zicheng, so the rabbit jumped over the wall and was forced to come to Shandong as a last resort.

At that time, I was forced to do so, and I felt that there was no difference between the Shandong army and the Shun army, and I was still a little worried about whether the other party could detain me, but when I saw this strong army known as the first in the world, I knew that I was really a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and I chose it too right.

For some reason, Yuan Shizhong felt that even if his little Yuan battalion was at its peak, it was not easy to defeat the regular soldiers of the Shandong army in front of him, not to mention that this was only the tip of the iceberg of the Shandong army.

At this time, Xing Yidao stretched out his hand on the horse and pulled him up, and said:

"Brother Yuan, don't hurry up with the brothers of Yuan Ying, let's kill them together, and let the flower cat Li Guo run away in embarrassment."

After Yuan Shizhong got up, he heard this, and he was also happy:

"Flower cat Li Guo, good name!"

Yuan Shizhong turned around and immediately changed his appearance, his face was stern, he turned over his horse very skillfully, and shouted with a knife:

"Have you heard it, let General Xing see, our Yuan Ying's horse team is not vegetarian!"

Li Guo, on the other side of the river, clenched his fists and kept making a creaking sound, and just as he raised his sword to order a decisive battle, he flew from behind and roared from afar:

"Li Guo! King Shun has returned to Xiangyang, and he strictly ordered you not to engage in battle, and retreat quickly! ”

Li Guo subconsciously wanted to turn around and roar, but when he saw that it was Li Laiheng, he swallowed the words that came to his lips immediately.

This guy has been the leader of the children's soldiers since he was a child, although his prestige and qualifications in the army are far inferior to his own, but he has won the trust of King Shun, and this time let him be a herald, it is conceivable that King Shun must attach great importance to this matter.

After all, Li Guo is not a reckless man like Liu Zongmin, thinking of this, even if he wants to rush again, he has to put away his knife and look at those Shandong soldiers who are constantly pressing forward with hatred.

Out of breath, he shouted loudly:

"Closing !!"

In fact, most of the 7,000 Shunjun elite horsemen feel that they should not be hard at this time, and they have been going south and north for many years, and this bit of vision will still be there.

The other party's array is rigorous, and at first glance, it is not as casual as Xiao Yuan's battalion, not to mention that there are firearms battalions and auxiliaries, and if they rush in, they can only be poked into a sieve, and basically there will be no other results.

After hearing Li Guo's order, many people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, retreated like the wind, and did not stop on the road, and ran directly back to Xiangyang.

At the beginning of May of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Xiao Yuan's battalion was defeated by the Fengyang General Soldier Huang Degong's Division, and was intercepted and killed by the General Soldier Liu Liangzuo's troops, and suffered serious damage.

Yuan Shi, who was extremely angry, found that the fourth battalion of Lao Hui and other Ge Zuo was stationed and did not save him, and after questioning, Lao Hui said that it was an order from King Shun, so he led his troops back north in anger.

After Xiao Yuan's battalion returned to the north, the fourth battalion of the left symbolically plundered the Yingzhou area, and then retreated to wander around Gwangju.

After Yuan Shizhong returned to Xiangyang, he accidentally broke into the private residence of King Shun, which provoked Li Zicheng to be angry, and took advantage of the night to lead the remnants to flee eastward.

In this battle, Shun Jing rode 7,000 to break the Yuan camp of 40,000, the small Yuan camp was scattered, and was collected by the Shun army of tens of thousands, and Yuan Shizhong took advantage of the chaos to lead a thousand horsemen to flee into Shandong.

Li Guofu, the general of the old battalion of the Shun army, led 3,000 elite cavalry to pursue, killed hundreds of Yuan cavalry, crossed the Hunhe River, and encountered tens of thousands of Shandong soldiers led by the chief general of the Shandong army stationed in Wengzhou Mansion.

Li Zicheng ordered the troops to retreat, and Li Guo led the elite cavalry south to return to Xiangyang, spreading news along the way, saying that Yuan's camp had been wiped out and ceased to exist.

On the day of Li Guo's retreat, Yuan Shizhong led the remnants of Yuan's camp and swore to the banner of the king that he would return to Shandong forever.

In late April of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Anton Hou and Wang Zheng, the general soldier of Shandong, led 100,000 soldiers into Xuzhou, set up cards to collect centigold, and rebellions broke out everywhere.

In the name of Anjing, under the leadership of generals Dong Youyin, Huang Yang, and Gao Liang, the Shandong army divided its troops into three routes, from Pei County to Xiao County, all the way south, and in early May, pacified the entire territory of Xuzhou.

At the same time, Liu Si, the right commander of the Shandong Naval Army, led hundreds of naval warships into Haizhou Bay, bringing a large amount of ordnance and food to Haizhou's foreign soldiers and horses, and greatly boosted the morale of the army.

At the beginning of May, several imperial generals led by Qiu Wu, the garrison of Haizhou, said that in order to protect the salt merchants from transporting official salt, they each led their headquarters of soldiers and horses, totaling more than 30,000 people, from Shuyang and Suqian all the way west.

The Shandong army fought on both sides, one to the south and the other to the west until Pizhou, and by the middle of May, it had occupied the entire territory of Xuzhou and most of Huai'an Prefecture, and began to popularize the cultivation farms.

In late April, Ren Han, the deputy general of the Shandong Army stationed in Wengzhou, hurried from Cao County to Xuzhou on 11 May to report on Yuan Shizhong's surrender.

......

At the beginning of June, a soldier from Xuzhou looked solemn, stood above the Cao County lobby with a token in his hand, and said loudly:

"Anton Hou, the governor of Zuodu, the general soldier of Shandong, Wang Zheng, Yuan Shizhong lost his way and returned, abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and made great contributions to the imperial court, the past was written off, and the past was not to blame, from now on, he served as the garrison of Suzhou City, Fengyang Mansion in Nanzhili, and the soldiers and horses under his command were renamed Suzhou Battalion."

"Yuan Shizhong's Suzhou camp, under the jurisdiction of Shandong Town, into the foreign system, the quota of three thousand, the remnants of the horse team Yuan Shizhong can be self-contained, the quota of five hundred, to make great contributions in the future, and then promoted."

Yuan Shizhong, who was still in Cao County, couldn't accept such sudden news for a while, and even suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Garrison... It is still the garrison of Fengyang Mansion in Nanzhili. ”

That place in Suzhou, since ancient times, has been a prosperous and prosperous place in the capital, not long ago Yuan Shizhong also took the small Yuan camp to pass, who thought, a few days into the court garrison there, create and make people.

The cavalrymen of Yuan Ying, who had been recuperating for a long time on Yuan Shizhong's side, looked at each other after hearing these words, and they all saw surprise in their eyes, cheering and thanking Marquis Anton, and even a few of them were already crying.

Speaking of which, the last time they fled at night, they and the Shun army became complete rivals, not to mention, even their prestige in the peasant army of all walks of life was completely defeated, and no one wanted to be called a bad seed for the rest of their lives, and this time they finally had a satisfactory answer.

Yuan Shizhong suddenly remembered that at present, Suzhou is not under the jurisdiction of Shandong Town, but how could Wang Zheng get the position of Suzhou garrison for himself?

"Could it be that Master Hou already has the intention of entering Fengyang?"

Thinking of this, Yuan Shizhong shuddered all over his body, and shuddered a little, this Marquis of Anton was extremely thoughtful.

I don't know why, since the beginning of this year, the Shandong army's movements have become bigger and bigger, and Wang Zheng has some unclear means in it, which makes people can't guess and can't see clearly.

But that's fine, if Wang Zheng is only satisfied with being a general soldier in Shandong, what will he do here, and be a garrison for the rest of his life.
