Chapter 123: Rogues are rampant

The price of rice in the south is more than a little cheaper than in the north, but under the operation of the Zhang family and the Li family, the price of rice in Zhili took the lead in dropping, even cheaper than that sold in the south, and the price of rice in Shanxi also followed, because a rice store was also opened there, called "Limin" rice shop, and the owner of this rice shop was also two, one was the British Gong Zhang family, and the other was the Wei Gong Xu family

Yue Su's strategy was to take the lead in keeping Zhili and Shanxi, and other places could be put aside, which also led to many people fleeing from Shaanxi and Henan

Now let's talk about Henan Yuesu to Henan Governor Zhang I continued to give a death order, let Zhang I continue to quickly clear the soldiers and horses of Liukou Henan, I didn't fight a few battles with the real Liukou, generally kill the good and take the merit, the will comes, Zhang I continued to be a little anxious, grateful for the deployment of soldiers and horses, really to suppress the bandits

But now to go to the real suppression, it's over, the rogue Shili is all strong, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and other rogues, the soldiers and horses are now all tens of thousands, let Zhang I continue to do anything

In desperation, the main force of the soldiers and horses could only retreat to Kaifeng, Luoyang, Zhengzhou, and other places, let the rogue wreak havoc These three places are all important towns, the city is high and the wall is thick, and if you want to take it, it is easy to talk about the rogue to rob the main, and do not cultivate, the territory is not important to them, seeing that Henan really has no head, it was decided to go south to Huguang, because there is a lot of food there

Liukou Tun soldiers in Xinyang, ready to go south to attack Wuchang, but unfortunately, the Huguang general army has just been replaced, Xing Ying is in charge of the Huguang general army seal, leading the soldiers and horses to wait for the battle, in the area of Dawu County, two battles, the fight is a fart and urine

Liukou had no choice but to retreat to Xinyang This time it was Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, Ma Jinzhong, Hui Dengxiang, Ma Shouying and other departments who were fighting with Xing Ying

Now Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and other troops are in Nanzhao County in the Nanyang area, Li Zicheng has joined Gao Yingxiang, and he is still a soldier and a family, and he will fight a family At present, when they were planning to attack Nanyang and prepare to encircle, Luo Rucai's messenger arrived and invited them to attack Wuchang

Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng were righteous and wanted to agree, but at this time Li Yan and Niu Jinxing raised objections, saying that Wuchang hoarded the main forces of Huguang and went to attack, undoubtedly hitting the stone with an egg, even if he did not attack Nanyang, he could not go to Wuchang, and the best strategy should be to attack Xiangyang in the south, and after capturing Xiangyang, he would directly detour into Sichuan

Gao Yingxiang thinks it is feasible, on the one hand, he will tell Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong and other leaders about the plan, if you are willing to come, you can follow, but I am going to feint to attack Nanyang now, and secretly send it to infiltrate Xiangyang, you don't want to affect my big plan, and finally delay it again

Luo Rucai waited for the meeting immediately, and on the surface, he once again put on a fighting posture with Xing Ying, waiting for Gao Yingxiang's good news Gao Yingxiang feinted to attack Nanyang, and secretly sent into Xiangyang, Xiangyang was originally an important town, although some soldiers and horses were transferred to Wuchang by Xing Ying, but there were also nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses

Gao Yingxiang made proper arrangements, suddenly abandoned Nanyang, attacked Xiangyang, joined forces with the outside, conquered Xiangyang, and took the opportunity to capture Fancheng Luo Ru only to get the good news, where to pay attention to Xing Ying, immediately led the troops to Xiangyang to meet Xing Ying heard this, and was shocked in his heart, leaving part of the troops to defend the city, and personally led the troops to Xiangyang

After the Liukou occupied Xiangyang, they did not stay, plundered a lot, and instead marched into Sichuan, going straight to Baoning Mansion, leaving Xing Ying with nothing but an empty city

Sichuan land is fertile, there is a "country of the house" said, under the governance of Yue Su, has been restored to vitality, this year's year is not bad, because of the tuntian, the production is in place, most of the land has a harvest, the people have a smile on their faces Sichuan can be self-sufficient, the price of grain is similar to the current Zhili

However, as soon as the rogues came in, everything changed

In Sichuan, the government has grain, and the people have grain, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong only robbed the government and big households, but other rogues are different, even the common people also robbed, and even coerced the people

Baoning Mansion was disturbed by the rogue attack at the beginning, but now the people live and work in peace and contentment, who is willing to be a rogue coward, many people are under the organization of the government, and the rogue is also composed of the people, and the rogue is also the people, the big guy is half a catty and eight taels, and the rogue can not take any advantage, and the people who defend the land, in order to protect their homeland, even play with their lives, so that the rogue is helpless, and there are a lot of injuries

It just so happened that he got the news at this moment, Sichuan Governor Zhu Xieyuan was seriously ill, Gao Yingxiang thought that this was a good opportunity to lead the army to take Chengdu directly, but Li Yan put forward another suggestion at this time, that is, the main force of the righteous army was all in Sichuan, which was really inappropriate, and it was easy to be surrounded and annihilated by officers and soldiers

Li Yan's suggestion did not receive a wide response, because everyone was afraid of Shaanxi's two tiger generals, Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu, Li Zicheng did not respond, for the sake of the overall situation, he was willing to personally lead the army into Shaanxi

He is willing to die, and other rogues will not stop him, only Gao Yingxiang can persuade him, but Li Zicheng insists on going, and Gao Yingxiang can only obey him

So, the Liukou divided the troops into three routes, Gao Yingxiang, Luo Rucai, Lao Hui Ma Shouying and other troops sent to Chengdu, Zhang Xianzhong, Shun Yao Wang, Shao Yao and other troops went to Chongqing Why do they want to divide the troops, Bi Jing Liukou is too much, and the things he grabbed are not necessarily enough to divide and the Sichuan soldiers are nothing, so there is no need for everyone to be together

The third way is Li Zicheng's, Li Zicheng under Li Yan's suggestion, led the army to attack Hanzhong, Hanzhong defenders are not much, Li Zicheng rushed down to Hanzhong's Shaanxi territory, Yang Yishan heard that Hanzhong was lost, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly mobilized the main force of Shaanxi to rush to Hanzhong, preparing to annihilate Li Zicheng's troops and recapture Hanzhong

Yang Yishan's soldiers were divided into three routes, personally led the sloping valley to Hanzhong, Zuo Liangyu killed from Chencang to Hanzhong, and Cao Wenzhao led the army from Jinzhou to Hanzhong, forming a three-way encirclement

However, Li Yan had already made plans, leaving only a small number of soldiers and horses to guard Hanzhong, and the main force of soldiers and horses went out of the Meridian Valley and took Chang'an directly

Li Zicheng now has a lot of soldiers and horses, and his troops, are all combat-ready soldiers, although there is no siege equipment, but out of the valley at night, rush to Chang'an, just dawn, can reach the city, soldiers and horses suddenly plus Li Zicheng used the old method, first sent hundreds into the city, in the city defenseless, inside and outside the joint capture of Chang'an, Shaanxi governor Sun Juxiang saw that the city was broken by the Liukou, the general trend has gone, is to hang himself, his wife is committed suicide and forget

After capturing Chang'an, Li Zicheng became famous, Yang Yishan got the report, fainted on the spot, and after being rescued, he wanted to wipe his neck with a sword to commit suicide, fortunately he was stopped by his subordinates, and he did not die Yang Yishan on the one hand asked the court for guilt, on the other hand, he turned around and rushed to Chang'an, and notified Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu to return to Chang'an for reinforcements

Yang Yishan's army went in a hurry, when he was about to get out of the valley, he met the rogue who was waiting for work, the two sides fought fiercely, Yang Yishan was defeated, he was more than 30 miles away, and 50,000 soldiers and horses were left less than 5,000 In desperation, Yang Yishan could only lead the remnants of the defeated army to go around Chencang, gather soldiers and horses and then take Chang'an

The defeat report was repeatedly transmitted into Beijing, first the loss of Chang'an, and then the loss of troops in the Meridian Valley, and the two defeat reports shook the Beijing division At this moment, the officials of the Donglin Party finally had a spiritual head, like a chicken blood, and they went to impeach Yang Yishan

Now the northwest is chaotic enough, not to mention the defeat of Yang Yishan, Chengdu City is also in danger, known as the dangerous pass in Sichuan, Mianzhu Pass was easily conquered by the Liukou, Yue Suqi almost vomited blood, Chengdu has news again, Governor Zhu Xieyuan is critically ill, the dragons have no leader, please reinforce the imperial court

Fortunately, there was good news in Chongqing, and the general soldier Qin Liangyu led the army to severely damage Zhang Xianzhong and other rogues, forcing the rogues to retreat to Bazhong

There is so much news of defeat and danger in so many places, but there is no suggestion on how to regain the lost territory, and some are just excerpts of impeachment of Yang Yishan

Today's cabinet, the atmosphere is very tense, the officials of the Yue Party, looking at Yue Su one by one, I don't know what to do now Bi Jing Yang Yishan is himself in, always can't step on it, the officials of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, all look at Qi Shijiao, although now united with the Yue Party, but Yang Yishan lost Chang'an, the loss of troops is a big thing, want to suppress it, how can it be so easy to say that the officials are saliva, they almost drowned this gang, the first two are impeached Yang Yishan, these two are good, in the cabinet ministers, except for Han Yi, who is playing tricks, There is no one who will not be scolded, and Yue Su will be scolded the most, and the content is to shield his protégés, use nepotism, mislead the country and harm the people A few days ago, the gang of brothers who were offended by selling rice also jumped out and vigorously impeached Yue Su and Yang Yishan It is said that now, inside the celebrant supervisor, all the people are impeached for their white spoon folds, and the folds are almost as high as those of Xiaoshan The most annoying thing is that some Qingliu who have nothing to do can join in the fun, and they are proud of impeaching the powerful, which is a big nonsense

Fortunately, Zhang Yan didn't embarrass Yue Su, just a sentence, Yue Qing's family, hurry up and make up your mind

In the cabinet, there is only one brother who is more leisurely, and that is Han Yi, sitting next to Yue Su, watching coldly, as if all this has nothing to do with him

"Everyone, Chang'an is lost, Yang Yishan is defeated, and the soldiers are lost, but victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and the court can't kill the dignified officials because of the defeat of a battle, if this is the case, who would dare to lead the troops to fight Yang Yishan's excerpt, everyone has also seen it, it is not that the enemy is afraid of not fighting, greedy for life and afraid of death, it is really too cunning but Yang Yishan lost Chang'an after all, this matter is bound to be given to the next to explain to you, how should you deal with it?" Yue Su said flatly
