Northeast.

In the Daling River in Liaodong, Wu Xiang and his son were beaten back three or four times, each time in the Songshan area, and the Houjin army went on a rampage and rushed towards the Ming army, which made Wu Xiang very helpless, felt very cowardly, and made Wu Sangui very disappointed.

Wu Xiang knew that Houjin's combat effectiveness was strong, but this was too arrogant, and he didn't have an ambush when he beat his own team, you know, his team was recruited and trained by himself, and he was distressed when he died, although Houjin also had losses, but his own losses were much greater.

Thinking that only in Jinzhou City were more than 10,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry could fight a tough battle with Houjin, he thought a little melancholy and Wu Sangui, his frustration was that the soldiers he was proud of could not do anything when they were superior in numbers

Zu Dashou is very clear about Houjin's doorway, the total number is not much, the combat power is only 100,000, but it is very strong, and this time there are 20,000, it is not possible to rely on his brother-in-law, and it is not good if there are fewer reinforcements, and there must be artillery, otherwise it is useless.

Unexpectedly, he didn't wait for reinforcements, and waited for the news that Sun Chengzong asked him to hold on.

He carried out the order, and there was no food in Daling City, and even the horses were eaten, so he began to eat people.

In addition to more than 10,000 soldiers, there are more than 30,000 migrant workers in the city, Zu Dashou arrested them all, he is a determined person, in order to survive, in order to achieve the goal, he will do whatever it takes

"Do you take your medicine?" Li Ran asked with a blink, holding a bowl of medicinal soup in his hand, I don't know how to make it, but the girl's eyes were a little dark, and she could see that she hadn't rested well recently.

She now lives in the governor's mansion, but not in the backyard, according to Ning Zhiyuan's instructions, she doesn't meet with Ning Zhiyuan's wives, she can understand, as a doctor, she has no clue about Ning Zhiyuan's disease, but she still has to be concerned, this is a doctor's instinct, so she has been turning over her medical skills for a long time and tried to boil out this medicine.

The girl looked at Ning Daguan expectantly.

Ning Zhiyuan was slightly stunned, then shook his head, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Are you worried about the medicine?" The girl said again, her voice was very good, then she lowered her head and drank half of it, leaving half a bowl, and then turned her eyes to Ning Daguan.

Ning Zhiyuan looked at the bowl that was a few sizes bigger than the regular one, a little embarrassed, and touched his nose, presumably Li Ran had already guessed what he thought in his heart and prepared it in advance.

"You don't have to." Ning Daguan was silent for a long time and said, "I'm afraid that insecurity is part of it, and I don't want to be disappointed every time I am full of hope, after all, the diseases that have been passed down from so many generations of ancestors can be cured by him." ”

The girl bowed her head and was silent, feeling that there was a very special teenager and an official in front of her.

"If you're sure you'll cure my illness, I'll be willing to try it, but"

The girl was silent again, she really just had the mentality of trying it out, after all, she hadn't even seen this disease before, and she didn't know the cause of the pathology.

"But it never hurts." The girl said without confidence.

"But if there is no benefit, this son will not do it." Ning Daguan smiled lightly, took the bowl in the girl's hand, and then drank the medicine.

"You really don't have to do this kind of thing in the future." Ning Daguan put down the bowl and wiped the medicine traces from the corners of his mouth, and looked at Li Ran, "It's no exception." ”

"And your doctor has opened it for you, you can go from tomorrow, remember to bring a few guards when you go in and out."

It was overcast and it was the northwest of October.

Li Ran blinked, touched his face, and watched Ning Zhi's distant back disappear, and his thin body continued to run back to the house to study her medical books.

In the northwest area, in addition to Ning Zhiyuan's move to exterminate Shen Yikui, there was also Hong Chengchou to eliminate Wang Zuogui and Cao Wenzhao to eliminate Wang Jiayin, the momentum of the militia began to decline, and they were defeated and retreated, and many people thought of surrendering.

Wang Zuogui, who surrendered to Hong Chengchou at the end of September, was invited to drink in the mansion, and then was ambushed by the sword and axe hand on the side, killed, and the only few thousand militiamen left under his command were all killed.

In the final analysis, although Ning Zhiyuan is more cruel to kill the old and weak, but people have a reason, under the guise of avenging the people of Chongxin, in ancient times, they paid attention to repaying kindness and revenge, although the practice is inhumane, but there is a little bit of truth.

It's just that. Hong Chengchou was more excessive, he accepted the letter of surrender from others, and killed him when he invited others to drink, as well as his thousands of militia men, who were chopped off before they even finished drinking, did they do this?

Ning Zhiyuan, who knew the whole story, shook his head, it was almost the same as what was recorded in history, brutal, but he was even more shocked when he heard it, he felt that this thing was done quite dirty, at least, waiting for others to finish drinking, isn't it?

It was after this that the name of Hong Chengchou's surrender was completely spread, and the militia felt that it was a distracted and crazy official, and almost dispelled the idea of surrendering, and the troops gathered in the Yansui area to continue fighting, which coincided with the fact that the governor of Yansui was frightened by the militia's momentum, and then, a life returned to the west, and Chongzhen's will, Hong Chengchou became the governor of Shaanxi naturally.

At the same time, Cao Wenzhao led 3,000 cavalry to chase Wang Jiayin's 30,000 militia out of breath, and when only 20,000 people were left to kill, Wang Jiayin's men collapsed, and on a dark and windy night

Wang Jiayin was killed, by his men, and then partially surrendered to Cao Wenzhao.

At this point, in the northwest area, the original three major anti-thieves have all been exterminated, and it should only be that the leaders of the anti-thieves have all been exterminated, and at this time, Shen Yikui's subordinates seem to have become stronger than before.

After experiencing the fact that all the family members and relatives were killed by Ning Zhiyuan, Shen Yikui also died, and there were four people in charge of the military power, Hong Youjun, Li Dusi, Du San and Yang Laochai, they had experienced more than ordinary people, and they were ashamed and brave, and began to train their militia.

In the eyes of all of them, if they had been stronger at that time, maybe their family would not have died, although they themselves did not have the courage to die for their families, one for one, but it did not prevent them from taking this as their own motivation to move forward.

The most important thing is that you can only live long if you are strong enough.

So after several suppressions, they were not wiped out under Hong Chengchou's Hong soldiers, of course, the rout was certain, but they were very tenacious, and they also recruited anti-people who couldn't eat along the road, and fought guerrillas with Hong Chengchou everywhere, and the number of people did not decrease much.

It's November, and it's really winter. (To be continued.) )
