After Xiong Wencan heard this, he glared at Zuo Liangyu and reprimanded loudly: "Hmph, you are completely quibbling, the army fights, and pays attention to the execution of orders, everyone is like you, what is the use of me as the governor of the five provinces?" The army talks about orders like mountains, if you can't order and prohibit, how can the army take it? ”

Zuo Liangyu is a high-flying and domineering person, who has 60,000 or 70,000 horses under his command, and he already looks down on Xiong Wencan, a boss who has never fought with Liukou, but now he is reprimanded by him, and he can't help but be furious. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He said unceremoniously: "Your Excellency, these Shanxi Liukou are no better than the pirates of Fujian, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and others have also been encircled and suppressed, except for the elimination of Gao Yingxiang last year, there has been no decisive victory so far, you won't be more powerful than these people, right......?"

Listening to his sarcastic words, Xiong Wencan almost scolded angrily.

But thinking of borrowing him to encircle and suppress the rogue, Xiong Wencan had to suppress his anger and said: "Don't say these cool words to the governor, in the holy decree issued by His Majesty to transfer troops, you are under the control of the governor, do you want to resist the decree and disobey it?" ”

Seeing that he was pressing himself with the holy decree, Zuo Liangyu jumped up from the tiger skin chair behind the handsome case and said loudly: "The surname Xiong will suspect that you don't know how to fight at all. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xiong Wencan asked angrily.

Zuo Liangyu said: "It is not enough to consider the anti-Wang Qi Tiansheng, Yidousu and other rogues, a few days ago they fought with Zhang Xianzhong and me, and now they have retreated to the Yunyang area more than three hundred miles away from here, and now they are confronting the general soldier Chen Hongfan, as long as our troops rush over and surround them, they can exterminate Zhang Xianzhong's troops, but now you let me lead the troops to Anqing eight or nine hundred miles away to rescue, aren't you blindly commanding......"

"What? You said that Zhang Xianzhong is in the Yunyang area, is this news reliable? Xiong Wencan asked in surprise.

This Zhang Xianzhong is the leader of the first major rogue in the Huguang area, Xiong Wencan has long wanted to clean him up, but this person is extremely cunning and cunning, and the battle is always loud and striking, flowing everywhere, it is difficult to surround its main force, and now I heard that this thief is in the Yunyang area, and he can't help but be surprised.

"Of course, this is evidenced by a letter from General Soldier Chen Hongfan." Zuo Liangyu said.

"Where is the faith? Show me. Xiong Wencan said urgently.

Zuo Liangyu took out an envelope from the pocket of his clothes and offered it to Xiong Wencan, took the letter, Xiong Wencan looked at it carefully, and after reading it, he said excitedly: "Great, the letter said that Zhang Xianzhong was sleepy and tired, and there were only thirty or fifty thousand hungry soldiers at this time." ”

Seeing his happy appearance, Zuo Liangyu said: "My lord also knows, this thief entered Henan last year to attack Xuzhou and killed my brother, and I have a revenge for killing my brother, I have to avenge this, and I also know that this thief is also a giant that the governor wants to eliminate I led the troops to Yunyang, and joined forces with Mr. Chen to destroy this thief, which not only avenged my brother's death, but also added a jackpot to the great cause of the governor's encirclement and suppression, which is not a good thing to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"In this case, you can take the troops to Yunyang, this governor hopes that you will show all your skills to exterminate this thief Zhang Xianzhong, and then this governor will definitely play the Ming Shengshang and promote you to the rank of knight." Xiong Wencan said.

Hearing this, Zuo Liangyu bowed to Xiong Wencan slightly, and said with a big sting: "This town will send troops to Yunyang, exterminate Zhang Xianzhong, and let the governor see Zuo's ability." After saying that, he went out of the account to arrange the affairs of sending troops.

Ma Bo and Ge Li Yan He Yilong, the ruling king Liu Xiyao returned to the old camp in Huoshan, the three of them reported to go to Macheng County to talk to Zhao Guohua, Liu Xiyao and Zhao Guohua's request to the old Hui Ma Shouying said, listening to Zhao Guohua's request to go to Macheng County to meet him, Ma Shouying was a little unsure, he asked suspiciously: "Will this Zhao Guohua have any tricks?" ”

"Big brother, two of the three county towns in his hands have been handed over, and only one has not been handed over, and he has turned against Xiong Wencan" On the side of the official army, he has no idea of going back, he can only rely on us, he can't be attacked on both sides. Liu Xiyao, the king of the ruling world, analyzed and said.

Ge Li Yan He Yilong said: "This time we also saw the flying thunder that Ma Bo's nephew said last time, although that thing is small, but it is extremely powerful, if we learn to make this flying thunder and break the formation and attack the city, it will be much easier, which means that we have another 100,000 elite soldiers." ”

"Is that really as good as you say?" Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying asked

At this time, Ma Bo spoke, and he said: "Father, I asked Zhao Guohua for a flying thunder to bring back, do you want to see its explosive power for yourself." ”

I heard that my son Ma Bo also brought one back, so Lao Hui asked him to take it out for himself to see. Ma Bo took the grenade from his waist and handed it to his father.

Lao Huihui took it and looked at it carefully, and some generals of the peasant army also came over curiously to look at it, and after looking at it for a while, they couldn't see anything famous, so Lao Huihui said: "Let's go, go out and find a place to try." With that, he led a large group of people to a remote place and stood still, and then motioned for Ma Bo to start throwing.

Ma Bo lit the grenade with a fire fold, and then threw it out, only to hear a loud thunderous sound of "boom", a ball of fireworks and earth and rocks flew up in the distance, and everyone was shocked and turned pale, and then the old man returned and walked over with everyone, looking at the big pit that was blown up, he was also a little frightened, and said: "Then Zhao Guohua has this sharp weapon, you have to pull him over quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if the people of the government know about it." ”

Thinking of this, he decided to leave for Macheng County as soon as possible to meet with Zhao Guohua and discuss the matter of letting him lead the team to Huoshan for repair.

"Dad, I didn't lie to you." Ma Bo said smugly.

"Big brother, this thing needs to be learned to make as soon as possible." Ge Li Yan He Yilong said.

Liu Xiyao, the king of the ruling world, said: "Big brother, you have to make a decision as soon as possible, once our army has this thing, no matter how powerful the officers and soldiers are, we will not be afraid." ”

Although the other laughing generals did not speak, looking at their expressions, they also hoped to have this thing.

After listening to the words of the three of them, looking at everyone's expressions, Lao Hui smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will let everyone have this thing in their hands, Ma Bo, you go back to Macheng and tell Zhao Guohua, just say that I will go to Macheng to meet him in two days." ”

"Yes!" Ma Bo agreed to ride back to Macheng.

Seeing that Ma Bo was gone, Lao Hui returned to the camp again, at this time a messenger of Li Zicheng sent someone to send a letter from afar, in addition to the meaning of greetings, but also described the situation in Shaanxi, Shaanxi under the rectification of the governor Sun Chuanting, the situation is already grim, I hope that Lao Huihui will lead troops to Shaanxi to join him and jointly defeat Sun Chuanting.

After reading Li Zicheng's letter, Lao Hui Hui gave the letter to Ge Li He Yilong and Liu Xiyao, the king of the world, and after reading the letter, Ge Li Yan He Yilong said: "Then Sun Chuanting is not very easy to deal with, neat Wang Zhang Fat Man, Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang died at his hands, this person is better not to provoke for the time being." ”

"This person will wait for us to have a flying thunder and then deal with Sun Chuanting......" Liu Xiyao, the king of the ruling world, said in agreement.

After listening to the words of the two, Lao Hui said: "What the two brothers said is the same, so the only way to reply to Brother Li is to let him grit his teeth and hold on for a while." ”

The sky was dark and dreary, countless stars broke through the night, and the night moisture permeated the air, diffusing a sentimental atmosphere. The distant stars shone like broken tears......

That night, in the city of Xi'an, the lamp was still on in the study of the governor's yamen, although it was the second watch, but the forty-year-old Shaanxi governor Sun Chuanting had not yet slept, he was holding a candle in his hand, and was standing in front of the map looking at the large red area marked as the area occupied by the Liukou on the map of the Ming Dynasty, frowning while watching

Sun Chuanting's name is Boya, a famous general in the late Ming Dynasty, and a native of Zhenwuwei (now Dai County, Shanxi). Resolute and strategic.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen (1636), the peasant army led by Zhang Fatzi, the king of neatness, occupied the land of Shangluo (now Shangzhou City, Luonan County, Shaanxi), which seriously threatened the rule of the imperial court in Shaanxi.

In March of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting was reappointed as the governor of Shaanxi from the right capital Yushi. After Sun Chuanting arrived, he ordered the deputy general Luo Shangwen to lead the Ming army to attack the rebel army in Shangluodi and kill the king of Qi.

Soon after, Sun Chuanting suppressed Gao Yingxiang, the most powerful peasant army, in the Battle of Heishuiyu in Zhouzhi, Shaanxi, and captured and killed Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang.

At the beginning of the tenth year of Chongzhen (1637), 17 peasant army horses such as Jinzhong and Liu Guoneng who were active in Henan crossed the west into Shaanxi and attacked Shangzhou, Luonan, Lantian and other places.

Sun Chuanting led his troops and the Ming armies from all walks of life to attack the Shengshi King, the Gua Bei King, the Yiyi Fei, and the Zhentian King one after another with superior forces, so that the area south of Guanzhong tended to be pacified.

"My lord, you've been looking at the map, but what new battle plan are you planning?" Adjutant General Luo Shangwen asked with great interest.
