Xing'an, Shaanxi, is close to the southernmost tip of Shaanxi, adjacent to Huguang and Gansu.

The imperial army gathered here.

Zhang Pu followed Chen Qiyu, starting from Shangjin in Huguang, entering Hanzhong Mansion in Shaanxi, and directly inserting into Hannan, along the way, the armies of the four provinces came in a steady stream of news, they all came to Hanzhong Mansion and went directly to Hannan.

In Xunyang, Hanzhong Prefecture, the imperial army led by Chen Qiyu and Lu Xiangsheng met with a large group of Liukou, and after the two sides clashed, Liukou went straight to the direction of Xing'an Prefecture.

Chen Qiyu sensed that this was a good opportunity, and immediately issued a military order, requiring all the troops to assemble in the direction of Xing'an Prefecture and surround the Liukou on all sides.

This process, Zhang Pu has always participated, he felt, Chen Qiyu's command, or appropriate, if you can be in the area of Xing'an Prefecture, encircle and suppress the main force of the Liukou, that is the best opportunity, along the way, he studied the terrain of Xing'an Prefecture, found that this is a mountainous area, although it is not conducive to the operation of the large army, but the Liukou can not be put on the shelf, and there is an advantage in the mountainous area, that is, blocking the roads on the four sides, the Liukou can not escape.

Chen Qiyu and Zhang Pu didn't know what to do, they encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The Liukou in Shaanxi, when they learned that the 150,000 troops of the imperial court came to exterminate them, were still a little panicked, after all, they had just suffered losses, although they returned to Shaanxi, many homeless people, joined the ranks of the Liukou, and the personnel grew rapidly, but these homeless people, almost no ability to fight, really fought with the officers and soldiers, but they were just cannon fodder, and they couldn't play much role at all.

And the imperial court has made up its mind this time, and it must encircle and suppress the rogues, so after learning the news. The Liukou in Shaanxi began to concentrate towards Hannan, trying to enter Huguang, Sichuan, and even Nanzhili again to achieve another division of troops, but their actions were slower. encountered the main force of the Ming army.

In this, with Zhang Pu's credit, Zhang Pu suggested that all the troops should go directly to Hannan and not assemble in Shangjin, which bought time, and the imperial army moved very quickly, which was beyond the expectations of the Liukou.

The armies of the two sides met in Xunyang. The rogue was defeated and retreated.

Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings, Li Zicheng, Ge Li Yilong, Cao Cao Luo Rucai, Lin Yangcheng, the king of Zuojin, Li Wanqing, the king of the reincarnation, the king of the world, the hundred thousand Ma Jinzhong, the star Hui Dengxiang, the king of Hengtian, the king of Shuntian, the nine dragons and other leaders of the rogue were all concentrated in Xing'an Prefecture.

There were twelve rebel armies, seventy-two battalions of rogues.

Liukou claimed to have 500,000 troops, and the strength was more than three times that of the Ming army.

The pursuers of the imperial court were still on the road, and the many leaders of the rogue had a fierce dispute.

A group of people led by Cao Cao and Luo Rucai believed that the army was going to leave Xing'an Prefecture. Fight your way through the bloody road to the Shiquan area. After passing through Xixiang, crossing Daba Mountain, looking for an opportunity to enter Sichuan, get rid of the current predicament, and a group of people led by Ma Jinzhong, who mixed 100,000, suggested that they go directly to Ziyang. From Yanchang Pass over Daba Mountain and into Sichuan, a group of people led by Gao Yingxiang raised questions about such a plan. If you want to cross Daba Mountain, it is not as easy as you say, hundreds of thousands of people and horses are shuttling between the deep mountains and mountains, and there are many recruits among them, maybe the team will be dragged down.

After all, the imperial court's army is well-equipped, and the Shenji Battalion is really powerful.

This kind of controversy lasted for an hour, and in the end, the 72nd battalion soldiers were divided into two routes, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others, led the 12th battalion, a total of more than 80,000 people, to stay in Xing'an Prefecture, looking for opportunities, to break through the encirclement of the official army, and the remaining 60 battalions, headed by Ma Jinzhong, went to Ziyang, to the area of Yanchang Pass, waiting for an opportunity to pass through Daba Mountain.

If the two armies can break through, they will regroup in Xingyang, Henan.

The 12 battalions left behind can be described as the elite troops of the rogues.

Chen Qiyu and Lu Xiangsheng's movements were very fast, they quickly rushed to Xing'an Prefecture, and the sergeants led by the two had a total of more than 50,000 people, and their combat effectiveness was very good.

As soon as they entered Xing'an Prefecture, more than 20 kilometers away from the state capital, they collided with the main force of the Liukou.

It was a bloody collision, and relying on the strength of the Shenji Battalion, the rogues suffered heavy losses and had to retreat.

In this collision, Chen Qiyu, Lu Xiangsheng, Zhang Pu and others were all keenly aware that they had really met the main force of the Liukou, and the opportunity to encircle and suppress the Liukou had come.

Chen Qiyu immediately issued a military order, and the four provinces encircled and suppressed the Liukou army, accelerated the speed of the march, and quickly rushed to Xing'an Prefecture without delay.

It's a pity that after the armies of the four provinces entered Hanzhong Mansion, what they thought about along the road was how to collect money.

Zhang Pu had already reminded him of such a situation, but unfortunately Chen Qiyu didn't pay special attention to it, and thought that Zhang Pu was angry with the book.

An even more brutal fight began.

Gao Yingxiang and others were eager to defeat the official army, or tear a road and lead the army to break through, but this time, the officers and troops were also energetic, biting them to the death, but they did not retreat, and the lethality of the Shenji Battalion was particularly great.

Two days passed, and the rest of the imperial court finally came over.

Interestingly, the sergeants of the 60th Battalion led by Ma Jinzhong easily broke through the defensive line, successfully arrived in the area of Ziyang, and went in the direction of Yanchang Pass.

The rogues led by Gao Yingxiang and others had no way to escape, so the plan for now was to hide in the mountains and continue to look for opportunities to break through the encirclement of the imperial army.

Unfortunately, the place they chose was the Chexiang Gorge in Hung Yen Prefecture.

The Carriage Gorge is steep, the road is rugged, and it is difficult for soldiers and horses to walk, such a place is not conducive to combat, and the Liukou are not worried about the imperial army attacking, but they ignore one, the gorge before and after the Carriage Gorge is not large, if there is an army blocking the gorge, in the case of no food supply, the army is easy to collapse.

On both sides of the Carriage Gorge, it is difficult for manpower to climb up.

However, there are also advantages, the area of the carriage gorge is huge, and the terrain inside is complicated, if the imperial army comes in, it is not clear that the southeast and northwest will be wiped out by them.

After a few days of fighting, the sergeants led by Gao Yingxiang still have more than 70,000 people, so many people, eating, drinking and Lazar are indispensable, the consumption is very huge, and there is not much supply in the carriage gorge.

After entering the carriage gorge and checking the terrain inside, Gao Yingxiang and the others were not in a hurry, they thought that the environment here was good, as long as the officers and soldiers came in, there must be no return, and their own army, as long as they could hold out for a while, there would not be much of a problem.

Besides, the grain and grass brought by the army is still sufficient, and it is not a problem to hold on for more than a month, on the contrary, the imperial court has an army of 150,000, and the grain and grass are difficult to sustain, and it is impossible to persist for a long time.

In Chen Qiyu's Chinese military tent, a fierce dispute also began.

Many officers suggested that they should enter the Carriage Gorge and completely exterminate the Liukou, the imperial army was well-equipped, and there would never be any problem, and some officers suggested that according to the current situation, the gorge on both sides should be blocked and confronted by the Liukou, after all, the Liukou was blocked in the Carriage Gorge, and there was no way out before and after, there was no way to go to the sky, and there was no way to enter the ground.

Zhang Pu sat on the side, very quiet, and did not speak.

What should be said, he has already told Chen Qiyu and Lu Xiangsheng in advance, after Liukou entered the Carriage Gorge, he has found the local farmers, and inquired in detail about the terrain in the Carriage Gorge, the farmers said for a long time, but the Carriage Gorge did not completely make it clear, and then, he found a few local old people and asked about the situation in the Carriage Gorge, several old people shook their heads, saying that this Carriage Gorge is too big, and there are many places to hide, but everyone affirmed one, there is no other way out of the Carriage Gorge, only from the two gorgesOn both sides of the canyon, there are straight peaks, and there is no way out.

After figuring out these situations, Zhang Pu already had an idea, he brought a few old men to Chen Qiyu and Lu Xiangsheng, and asked the old men to introduce the situation in the carriage gorge.

After that, he said his own suggestion, block the gorge on both sides, it must be blocked, the rogue in the carriage gorge, it is difficult to fly, as for the rogue organization to break through, it is better to say, exterminate on the spot.

After many officers expressed their opinions, Chen Qiyu spoke the last word, and he made a final decision, the 150,000 army was guarding the gorge on both sides, and was not allowed to enter the carriage gorge.

As for the money and grain during the period of waiting for the gorge, the imperial court provided it uniformly.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone rejoiced.

The officers who asked to attack were nothing more than taking into account the consumption of money and food, and if they all had to be responsible for themselves, they would not be able to bear it, and maybe they would have to take out the old book, and now, it would be great if the imperial court was in charge, and besides, waiting at the mouth of the gorge and waiting for work at ease could minimize casualties.

Of course, everyone also understands that they must not be able to slack off passively, and if they let go of the rogue, they may not lose their heads, and their families will be implicated.

This meeting has unified ideas to the greatest extent, and the results are really good.

After the meeting, Chen Qiyu immediately found Zhang Pu and asked Zhang Pu to write a recital, and he wanted to report to the emperor.

This recital is very important, two purposes, one is to report the good news, the main force of the Liukou is besieged in the carriage gorge, and it is impossible to escape, the imperial army has blocked the mouth of the gorge, waiting to exterminate the Liukou, and the second is to reach out to the emperor and the imperial court, 150,000 people, eating, drinking, and Lazar all need money and food, and the imperial court must be responsible.

Zhang Pu knew the importance of this recital, and it took a whole night of hard work to write it out.

After Chen Qiyu read it, he was very happy, and almost no changes were made, so he reported it. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
