"Report ~~~ to the Governor, Yuci County urgently, today's thieves hit the banner of Zhao, and there are no less than 10,000 people, who are slaughtering the squires in the cholera township along the north and south, Yuci County asks the Governor to send troops to quell the thieves quickly. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the temporary residence of the governor of Linfen Xuanda in Pingyang Prefecture, Zhang Zongheng was distressed to hear that the next report in the hall was not received at night, and listened to his urgent voice, but he was not moved at all.

Originally, seeing that the sun was about to set, he secretly thought that he would have to hold on to it today, and he would go and discuss it slowly, and he didn't want to come last, but he said in one breath that 10,000 thieves and cholera counties were in the county, which really made Zhang Zongheng completely speechless, just counting the number of thieves today, there are no less than tens of thousands of people, and they are all in trouble in the north, who is under the command of Li Jing, not the thief?

However, the one who played the Zhao Ziqi made Zhang Zongheng react instantly, isn't it the most stubborn Zhao Mosheng in the thief army? You must know that Li Jing, a thief soldier, is different from other thief armies in the past, they all show their real names, and they don't care about the reaction of the imperial court.

This beggar army is good, not only set up the head of the army, but also afraid that the imperial court will not know who is leading the rebellion, if it were not for the fact that these named thieves are either from the place where they started their troops, or they are in the place where the southern Jin Liukou are raging, they are all places that the imperial court cannot reach for a while, I am afraid that Zhang Zongheng even has the mind to dig up their ancestral graves now.

Originally, Shanxi was chaotic enough, relying on the taxes of Taiyuan Mansion to barely support the Jin soldiers to fight against the thieves, and now Li Jing almost called Taiyuan Mansion a scourge, starting from Daizhou in the east, Baode in the north, Yongning in the west, and Pingding in the south, and still holding Yangqu, the capital of Shanxi, in his hands.

"My lord, if the thieves completely occupy Taiyuan Mansion, in the future, Xuanda's soldiers and horses will not be able to get through, and there will be hundreds of thousands of thieves in the south, if the Li thief refuses to recruit An, once the north and south are facing each other, and the thieves will attack my army, it will definitely be difficult to take care of the head and tail, and I am afraid that the whole army will be in danger of annihilation!"

Call the Shenmu general Ai Wannian, who retreated all the way here, is bent on revenge, you must know that in the battle of Yangqu, his headquarters of 1,500 soldiers and horses, almost all of them were lost, and after the count, only one hundred and seventy cavalry escaped, and less than one hundred infantry escaped, and the rest were all killed or captured by Li Jing.

He himself was reprimanded by the imperial court, and asked him to be demoted three levels to stay in his original position for the time being, but fortunately, when the imperial court was planning to employ people, he was still called the standard of office, and Zhang Zongheng gritted his teeth and allocated two or two thousand silver, allowing him to re-recruit troops in Pingyang Mansion, and finally gathered enough infantry 1,000 people, but this batch of people, where is still the previous batch of elites, I am afraid that even the last formation is reluctant.

Moreover, his headquarters cronies Jia Ding, in the battle of Yangqu, was almost called clean, and two members of the capital division were killed under his command, and the garrison Yao Jinren did not know his whereabouts, Xu was captured by thieves, in this way, how can he not hate Li Jing deeply, since the war to quell the chaos, there have been two or three years of work, and he has never suffered this defeat, this defeat can be regarded as a complete burial of the future.

He no longer has enough money and food to feed an elite horse team, and what a barrier to fight the thieves in the future!

"I also know this, but now how can there be soldiers and horses sent north?!" When Zhang Zongheng heard this, he almost wanted to ignore it, he had heard such words hundreds of times in his ears these days, where could he conjure up soldiers and horses? Where are the elite soldiers in Shanxi Town who can fight with Li Jing's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?

It is mentioned that the elite family under the command of You Shilu, the chief soldier of Shanxi, is now trapped in Yangqu City, struggling to support the provincial city without breaking, even if it is lucky, and Sun Xianzu, the general soldier of Ningwu, was defeated by the thieves in the south in a row, and the two thousand five hundred elite soldiers in the department were lost, and less than a thousand people were left, and this newly defeated army, when they heard the news of the thieves, they were defeated by themselves more than ten miles away, not to mention going into battle.

The rest of Zhang Yingchang, Li Bei, fierce as a tiger, etc., each commander of the army is less than a thousand people, the previous rescue of Yangqu, were defeated by each one, can only retreat to Fenzhou, Pingyang, and no longer dare to continue to go north, as a result, the troops and horses under their own command, can no longer fight, and ask for help to the governor of Shanxi Xu Dingchen, but at this moment, the contradiction of Xuanda Shanxi governor Fu has always been exposed.

It is said that Zhang Zongheng is the governor of Xuanda, directly under the jurisdiction of Shanxi Town, and Shanxi Town General You Shilu was originally the chief soldier of Baoding, recommended by the governor of Baoding, transferred to Shanxi, just arrived, and can only rely on Zhang Zongheng to fight, and Xu Dingchen is not, he is released from Guanglu Temple Shaoqing, although there is no foundation in Shanxi, but fortunately, he is a civil and military force, and he personally commanded the suppression of thieves in Baode Prefecture before, and he has a bit of prestige, and finally gained a foothold.

And in the court, most of them have the same department in the same year, and they are not afraid of Zhang Zongheng's authority for a while, and after he arrived, the imperial court has to clearly stipulate that his leadership of the troops to assist in the suppression of bandits in Shanxi and Jin is almost not subordinate to Zhang Zongheng, plus the Shanxi general soldier You Shilu is under Zhang Zongheng.

He only has a Ningwu chief military officer Sun Xianzu to lead the troops, and he has lost in the battle, has been impeached repeatedly, and is in danger of going to the official to dismiss and defend the border, where can he still send extra soldiers and horses to reinforce Governor Zhang, but because there are many bandits in the place under his jurisdiction, he has been asking for troops from his own family.

Even if he has some free time, he will not let the thieves in his own defense area run rampant, and come to the west to aid Zhang Zongheng with soldiers and horses, and if he wins, he will lose his own soldiers and horses in vain.

Although he knows the origin of the soldiers and horses mentioned by Ai Wannian, it must be the official army that is encircling and suppressing the thieves and lighting the lamps in Shilou County, Pingyang Prefecture, but Cao Wenzhao is the chief military officer of Linzhao, and he is not under his own control at all.

His own family couldn't force him to relieve the siege for Yang Qu, so he spoke first, "If General Ai can invite the elite soldiers under the command of General Cao, it will be easy to pacify the thieves." ”

When it comes to Cao Wenzhao, Zhang Zongheng has a deep impression that his own family was promoted from governor to governor, it was the battle of Hequ Baodezhou, that day Shaanxi soldiers and horses crossed the Yellow River, and the former Shanxi general army Wang Liang attacked the thief Yu Baode, and was defeated.

This defeat, but the anger of the imperial court, called Xuanda Governor and Shanxi Governor, Shanxi Commander-in-Chief Officers were called to prison to ask for guilt, their own family and Xu Dingchen, You Shilu, were promoted after this battle, and the thief army was strong, they went to Baode after they went to the post that day, but unfortunately the battle could not be won, all relying on Shaanxi Cao Wenzhao and Zhang Quanchang, the two generals of the trilateral military town, led the troops to quell the rebellion, which has a stable position today.

The combat power of Cao Wenzhao's department really made Zhang Zongheng breathtaking, and secretly thought, it is worthy of being born in Guanning Liaodong Iron Cavalry, and it is elite and extraordinary, which is rare in the world.

I also think that Ai Wannian has been in Shaanxi for a long time, and he has followed Cao Wen's edict to fight many times, and he will win almost every battle, maybe he has some friendship, but it is not that he can't give it a try, sure enough, Ai Wannian wants to defeat Li Jing with all his heart to repay the hatred in his own heart.

I see that there are still remnants in the army, then follow with a large army, with a strong momentum, go straight north, take advantage of the thief soldiers to divide the troops into various ways, just go to solve the danger of Yangqu, and go straight to the thief army This is the first team of the thief, only to hold the thief's head, then the enemy will inevitably collapse, and the governor will take the captured thief, select the strong, and reorganize into an army, so that the army will be strong, and the land of the north of Jin can be determined in a moment. ”

I have to say that Ai Wannian is really a general, not to mention leading the troops to fight, this vision is also the only one to see the long-term, only one word, Zhang Zongheng suddenly became excited, thinking that if Cao Wenzhao defeated the main force of the thief soldiers, the situation in Shanxi would change once and again, and no matter what then, his own position would be kept, so he had the heart to give it a try!

Bluntly spoke, "According to what the general said, at this moment, I will write to invite General Cao to save the situation in northern Shanxi, and the governor will personally go out ten miles to meet the general army." ”

For the sake of his own status, he didn't care about any face, in the name of the governor of the three towns, he actually called out these words, deigned to ask the first general soldier not to mention it, and even said that he would go out of the city ten miles to greet him, which is simply unheard of since the founding of the country.

However, at present, all the generals deeply understand that with their own strength, it is not enough to pacify Shanxi, if they want to protect their own status and wealth, they are bound to invite Cao Wenzhao, and only he can save the situation at the moment.

But there are also those who look down on Cao Wenzhao, after all, they are also military generals, who doesn't want to earn the first? Seeing that the generals from all walks of life respect one person so much, Zuo Liangyu is not happy, he is also from Guanning Liaodong Iron Cavalry, with three hundred families under his command, the elite of the end, although he did not go north this time, but in the south, suppressing the thieves, if he fights with all his strength, who is his opponent?

Therefore, he also despised Li Jing, thinking that if his family went north, he would definitely be able to build an immortal miracle and save Shanxi from fire and water, but unfortunately his own soldiers and horses were only more than 2,000 people, and there were no less than hundreds of thousands of thieves.

just looked at the excited generals coldly, and said in his heart, "Hmph, there are a lot of thieves in this house, if you go north to fight, you don't know how much you will lose, if you lose your henchmen like Ai Wannian, and you will waste one from now on, anyone who is bitter can bully him, sooner or later, the court will cut off his head and sacrifice the flag, how can he be at ease?!" ”…… (To be continued.) )
