Chapter 103: Cornered

In fact, Qin Hao still underestimated what it meant for Chongzhen that the silver entered the treasury, the reason why the Ming Dynasty fell could find out eighty reasons, but if you want to say the root cause, there is only one word: poverty.

Because of poverty, there is no way to give disaster relief to the northwest, and the rebels have risen one after another, pressing the gourd and raising the scoop.

Because of poverty, Chongzhen had no choice but to continue to increase his income and wages, and increase the poverty of the already poor people, and the more and more rebels were suppressed.

Because of poverty, the army's food and salary could not be paid, the Guanning defense line was broken and there was no money to repair it, the meritorious soldiers could not be rewarded, and the Guanning iron cavalry was too expensive, so that later they were reluctant to equip the heavy armor and the combat effectiveness became worse and worse.

This time the seized grain is more than one million stones, and the silver is more than eight million taels, not only the disaster in Shanxi Province has been solved, but also the arrears of silver for many years, if you look at Chongzhen's dragon qi, this silver has risen to Chongzhen by more than three thousand, Qin Hao feels that if he doesn't slaughter him, he will be sorry for his hard work of chasing Liu Wenzhong in the pouring rain.

However, after all, it is a matter of the future, and the top priority at the moment is to catch up with Xun Yu quickly, Tiandao and the Donglin Party will unite to make a stumbling block, even if it is Xun Lingxiangyi, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand it.

Shandong-West is a big deal, but if you want to compare it with Shaanxi-West, it is not a matter at all.

More than ten days have passed since this delay, and I don't know what happened to Xun Yu's side, counting the days, I'm afraid they are all about to arrive.

Pegasus rushed to the territory of Shaanxi-West, Qin Hao could be regarded as feeling what is called a natural disaster, although Shanxi-West also suffered a disaster, but at least the barren grass can be seen in the eye, but once it arrived in Shaanxi-West, there is only one word to describe its scenery: thousands of miles of red land!

Not to mention the bark, even the grass roots are almost eaten up, and after walking two hundred miles, I can't even see a human figure, even if it's hell.

"My lord, I found the mark left by Shousuke-sama in front of me."

"Great, so we're about to meet."

"But there is a situation with the adults, and the first assistant and they have deviated from the path."

"Oh? Could it be that Xun Yu is lost? ”

"Impossible, tens of thousands of people, many of whom are businessmen who run this road all year round, can go to northern Shaanxi with their eyes closed, and it is impossible for them all to get lost."

Qin Hao also realized that the problem was serious at this time, his lips were already faintly purple, and he asked tremblingly, "Then what do you say?" ”

"I'm not sure, but something must have happened, there are too many bandits in Shaanxi-West, and there are no cavalry left on the Shoufu side after we leave, with only two thousand Beijing battalions, I'm afraid it will be 。。。。。"

Boom, Qin Hao felt that his brain was smashed by a sledgehammer again, since he came to this northwest realm, he felt that he had been smashed by this sledgehammer all day long, and he was so confused that he almost fainted with a black eye, and he felt that he was angry more times in this disaster relief trip than in the first half of his life combined.

"National teacher, are you okay?"

"It's okay, the food is important, damn, order the troops to move forward at full speed, the horses and armored people wear helmets, enter the combat state, hurry up and take a look, the head can be broken and the blood can flow, and the food cannot be lost."

This million stone grain was squeezed out of Chongzhen's teeth, and if he squeezed it again, there would be no more, once there was a flash of Shaanxi-Xike, it would be completely on fire, and if it fell into the hands of the rogue, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.

Sure enough, the further I tracked, the farther I found Xun Yu and them, obviously they were going to enter northern Shaanxi, but they were almost to Hubei after chasing them.

"My lord, this horse manure is fresh, they are not far away, depending on the situation, it should be discovered by the rebels, and they dare not go any further, so they can only go all the way south."

"How many enemy troops there are?"

"It's hard to say, but looking at the traces, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of people, and maybe even more than 100,000."

Hiss... 100,000 people, needless to say, this must be the influence of the Heavenly Dao, and even the Donglin Party may also be mixed in it.

"Sangui, if there are 100,000 thieves, are you still sure?"

"Guanning Iron Cavalry, not afraid of death, is related to the lives of millions of people in Shaanxi-West, and it is related to the Jiangshan Sheji of my Ming Dynasty, if you don't have it, you have to have it!"

"Okay, charge formation, let's go! It's going to be a bunch of mud legs. ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。

Xun Yu now has the heart to die, and he knew that Shaanxi-West was so powerful, but he never thought it would be so powerful.

As soon as he entered the Shaanxi-western ground, he was targeted, and although he beat away a small group of stalking troops several times, the number of people who were stalking was increasing day by day.

Another person may be planted, but fortunately, Xun Yu did not do much to lead the troops to fight, and Lu Bu was helpless with him in the battle of Yanzhou that year, and his perennial career in the horse economy made him keenly aware that he could not go any further.

The further north you go, the greater the power of the anti-thieves, once something happens to this grain, it is not a matter of probation at all, I have long been a damned person, and I don't care if I don't die, but the millions of victims in the northwest who are waiting for the rest of the country care, if you really want Zijinliang to get this food, I'm afraid that Northwest Africa will turn the world upside down.

Xun Yu decisively ordered: to the south.

At first, they were only targeted by a small group of thieves, but because the delay was too long, and it was too close to northern Shaanxi, they were soon targeted by Zijin Liang, the second largest bandit leader at that time.

As for why Zijin Liang was able to bypass the encirclement and suppression of Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao so accurately, and ran to rob him of the food of the first assistant of the dignified cabinet, he was no longer willing to think about it, who could have such a big force except the Donglin Party? This is to pit him to death! This group of Donglin Party, for the sake of political struggle, will they abandon the Jiangshan Society?

As for why it was so coincidental and the world was so big, but it just collided with this Hades, is this a matter for the Heavenly Dao?

So, Xun Yu was tragic.

Although they had tried their best to run south to delay time, their baggage team was too slow, and Zijinliang's troops gathered more and more, and finally, when they reached the vicinity of Ganquan County, Zijinliang attacked.

Thanks to the fact that this is the soldiers of the Beijing camp, although the soldiers of the Beijing camp are not strong in combat, but fortunately, there is an advantage, that is, their families are all in the capital, and they really eat the imperial grain, who dares to lose this food, it is good to die in battle, if they dare to be deserters, there is nowhere to go from now on, not to mention that even their families have to follow the bad luck.

Thanks to Xun Yu himself, who is a master of the art of war, strategizing and commanding, he took out the twelve-point ability of fighting Lu Bu back then, and the soldiers in the Beijing camp were not afraid of death, and with the help of tens of thousands of people, he finally repelled the first wave of Zijin Liang's tentative attack.

But this road must not be walked, decisively ordered, go up the mountain, set up camp and wait for reinforcements, if he dies here and the reinforcements do not come, then he can only admit it.

After defending for about two days, the soldiers under his command were dead and wounded, counting the heads, and there were only more than 400 Beijing battalion soldiers left.

"Alas! Eventually.... Still powerless? ”
