(Thank you to the crazy % magician, Bin Bin Qiqi, (scarecrow) for voting for the precious monthly ticket, thank you (scarecrow), the world has my reward, thank you.) ）

As soon as Zheng Xunrui entered the wing, Xu Wanghua followed.

Xu Wanghua was holding a letter in his hand, which was obviously unopened.

Zheng Xunrui took the letter, and the inscription on it was actually Qin Liangyu of the stone pillar.

Ma Xianglin has entered the Zheng family's army, but the position has not yet been arranged, Zheng Xunrui's consideration is to let Ma Xianglin serve as a general, such an arrangement seems a little aggrieved, but the Zheng family's army relies on strength and qualifications to speak, although Ma Xianglin is a hussar general given by the emperor, but in the Zheng family's army, there is no particularly great merit.

After tearing up the letter, Zheng Xunrui looked at the letter carefully, and in less than half an hour, he handed the letter to Xu Wanghua, and the look on his face was not very good.

Xu Wanghua also quickly read the letter, and his expression was also not good.

"My lord, your prediction is really accurate, Lord Lu is too negligent, thinking that the rogue is already vulnerable."

"Lu Xiangsheng is guilty, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have fallen into a dead end, if the army works together to encircle and suppress it seriously, it is impossible for them to escape from Sichuan, kill more than 1,000 Liukou, let Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others escape, and Gu Junen, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi and others all escaped, I have already said that to exterminate the Liukou, only by capturing the leader of the Liukou, is it really useful, otherwise it is all in vain, Henan and Shanxi in the north have not yet stabilized, There are still a large number of displaced people, and once Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others escape to these places, they can quickly pull up the team. ”

Xu Wanghua fully believed in Zheng Xunrui's judgment, and Zheng Jiajun fought with Liukou every time. The target is the leader of the Liukou, and in every battle, the most powerful scout battalion of the Zheng Jiajun is sent to capture or kill the leader of the Liukou, and the effect of this is obvious, such as Luo Rucai and Lao Huihui and others. After being captured and killed, almost all of the rogues under their command were gone, and only a few took refuge in Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

"My lord, although you have come to the south, the Zheng family army has paid too much for this matter of exterminating the Liukou, although now that Lord Lu is directly responsible, you can also write directly to remind Lord Lu. Such a good situation disappeared like this, and the subordinates were very uncomfortable. ”

Although Xu Wanghua said it very tactfully, the meaning is clear, no matter how the rogues are wanton, and whether they are completely exterminated or not, it has a lot to do with Zheng Jiajun, and Zheng Xunrui should care about this matter.

Zheng Xunrui sighed. Xu Wanghua couldn't have known what he was thinking in his heart. He won't say it, but Xu Wanghua should understand it.

The Ming Dynasty, which was already in the midst of the wind and rain, could not withstand the toss, with the threat of the Houjin Tartars outside, and the ravages of the rogues inside, and they were attacked on both sides. It was impossible to deal with it at all, coupled with the successive famines in the north, the common people were struggling on the death line, and the scholars and merchants in the south had formed a group, and they didn't care about the interests of the imperial court at all. He doesn't care about the life or death of the people, all he thinks about is himself, in this case, Daming doesn't fall down with a bang, and he can't say it.

"Mr. Xu, what you said makes sense, but Lu Xiangsheng is already the governor of the five provinces, and he is responsible for the extermination of the Liukou on behalf of the imperial court, if I come forward to remind you, I don't know what some people in the court think, let's see what Lu Xiangsheng will do next, after all, it has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, as I hope, the Liukou should not affect the stability of Shaanxi, after all, the mutual market with the grassland tribes cannot encounter twists and turns."

Xu Wanghua sighed and stopped talking.

"Mr. Xu, the most important thing for us now is to completely handle the affairs of Caoyun, which is extremely complicated and involves the interests of all parties, but this is also a good opportunity, as long as we can completely eliminate the disadvantages of Caoyun, then we can leverage the interests of southern scholars and businessmen, there was no reason before, and now we can do it publicly."

"The subordinates understand that Deputy General Yang and General Wang are already investigating in secret, and presumably within a few days, there will be a rough result, and the subordinates will think carefully about where to open the gap when the time comes."

Zheng Xunrui nodded.

The two talked about the matter of the Zheng family, if you want to really protect Caoyun, it is basically impossible to rely on Wei Cao's soldiers, Wei Cao's treatment is too low, and there is not much difference from the military households in the north, you expect people to be honest and protect Cao, it is almost impossible, so it is still Zheng Jiajun who can really protect Caoyun.

When Ma Xianglin came in, the look on his face was very ugly, and he was also holding a letter in his hand, which was also a letter written by Qin Liangyu.

"General Ma, is there something wrong?"

Ma Xianglin was temporarily organized in the pro-military camp, so he stayed in the Huai'an Mansion City, 2,000 personal soldiers were responsible for guarding the safety of Zheng Xunrui and his family, and only the most elite 100 people were stationed in the Yamen of the Governor's Palace, led by Hong Xinyu himself, and the rest of the personal soldiers were stationed in the Weicao Barracks not far from the Yamen of the Governor's Palace.

"My lord, Mr. Xu, my subordinates received a letter from my mother, and after the letter, my mother talked in detail about the extermination of the Liukou, and the subordinates became more and more angry, and the subordinates made mistakes back then, if it weren't for the leniency of the adults, the subordinates would have been guilty a long time ago, but I can't imagine that Lord Lu also had such a problem, and the leaders of the Liukou such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong fled from Sichuan, and Lord Lu not only did not learn a lesson from it, but reprimanded his mother......"

When Ma Xianglin said this, Zheng Xunrui's face became a little unsightly, Qin Liangyu did not mention these things in the letter, only said that Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Gu Junen and others all fled Sichuan, and should have entered Huguang and Henan and other places, and did not say anything else.

After receiving the letter, Zheng Xunrui looked at it carefully, looked at it, and almost couldn't help but lose his temper.

It turned out that after Lu Xiangsheng was responsible for the extermination of the Liukou, after mastering the situation of the Liukou, he decided to enter the mountains of Liangshan and launch the encirclement and suppression of Zhang Xianzhong.

Qin Liangyu objected to such an arrangement, she knew very well that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others had been in Sichuan for a long time and were already familiar with the local terrain, and the number of rogues under their command was not large, and they could find a place to hide at any time, on the contrary, the Tianxiong Army under the command of Lu Xiangsheng was not familiar with the terrain of many places in Kuizhou, and once they entered the mountains, they could not find the traces of Zhang Xianzhong and others.

As for Li Zicheng, there are less than 100 people under his command, and he is basically cornered, as long as the white pole soldiers grasp the exits of various places in Banzhou, strengthen contact with each other, and rely on many Tusi in Banzhou, they will definitely be able to force Li Zicheng to show up.

Lu Xiangsheng did not listen to Qin Liangyu's construction at all, and still issued an order, demanding to launch a strong attack and completely exterminate the Liukou in the shortest possible time.

It is precisely because of Lu Xiangsheng's decision that Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and others were given opportunities.

The Tianxiong army led by Lu Xiangsheng, with the assistance of the white pole soldiers, entered the mountains, and indeed found the traces of the Liukou, and killed a lot of Liukou, but because the army all entered the mountains to encircle and suppress, it was impossible to lay a tight defensive circle on the periphery.

The situation in the direction of Banzhou is even worse, there is a taboo between the Tusi, and the concept of territory is particularly strict, after Qin Liangyu became the general soldier of Sichuan, many Tusi were not convinced, for fear that Qin Liangyu's hand would reach Banzhou, so they hated the white pole soldiers to enter Banzhou to exterminate the Liukou, and they did not cooperate at all, and as a result, the battle to exterminate Li Zicheng did not start, and there was some friction between the white pole soldiers and the Tusi army, and there was almost a fight.

Li Zicheng could not miss such an opportunity, taking advantage of the infighting between the white pole soldiers and the Tusi army, he led his subordinates to find a gap, left Banzhou, and also headed in the direction of Huguang, without a trace.

Zhang Xianzhong fled, Li Zicheng also fled, and Lu Xiangsheng's encirclement and suppression this time can be said to have failed.

Lu Xiangsheng wrote to the imperial court, the report exterminated more than 1,000 rogues, ignoring the reality of Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng and others escaping, probably in his opinion, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng have no rogues under their command, and it is difficult to churn, and then as long as he leads the Tianxiong army to pursue, he can kill Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others.

The most undesirable thing Lu Xiangsheng did was to severely reprimand Qin Liangyu, mainly because of the infighting between the white pole soldiers and the army of the land in Banzhou, and there was a small-scale weapon fight, and Lu Xiangsheng attributed the reason for Li Zicheng's escape to the white pole soldiers and Qin Liangyu.

This kind of practice is very despicable, obviously it is a mistake in his own decision-making, but he puts the responsibility on the heads of others, and he does not take responsibility at all, which is the most intolerable thing for Zheng Xunrui.

Zheng Xunrui also felt strange, in his impression, Lu Xiangsheng didn't seem to be such a person, and there was no way to deliberately shirk responsibility, it was just a little arrogant.

However, Qin Liangyu will definitely not lie, this matter must be true.

After reading the letter, Zheng Xunrui didn't say anything, he had a hunch that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others would definitely be able to rise in a short period of time, and the Tianxiong Army would not be able to completely exterminate the Liukou, and this task would eventually fall on the head of the Zheng Jiajun, that is to say, it was difficult for the Zheng Jiajun to avoid a two-front battle, with the Houjin Tartars on one side and the Liukou on the other.

Now we can only hope that after the blow, Huang Taiji can be taboo and not attack Liaodong and Beizhili for the time being, so as to free up time and make the Zheng family army stronger and stronger. (To be continued......)
