For the people of Xiangyang City, the attack on Xiangyang by thieves last night was like an unreal nightmare. www.biquge.infoFortunately, this nightmare came and went quickly, and the general of Nadingguo led the army to help, and soon defeated the thieves and drove them out of the city.

They guarded the four gates, searched for the remnants of the rogue in the city, suppressed the lawless who took advantage of the fire to rob, and when they approached the cattle, peace had been restored in the streets and alleys.

Some of the officers and soldiers who had dispersed were gathered and waved gongs to inform the neighborhoods that the city was safe and that they could go out.

When everyone came to the street, the street was clean, and if it weren't for some blood stains left on the street, everyone would have thought that they had a dream last night.

Of course, there are also differences, there are more accents on the streets, and the mighty armor warriors on healthy horses are constantly patrolling the streets and alleys, so that all people with different intentions dare not move.

These military masters were shocked when they saw it, and all the people were far away from them in awe.

Fortunately, as long as they don't commit crimes, those military masters won't come to provoke them. When everyone was at ease, they talked about the events of last night, and the teahouses and restaurants were full as soon as they opened, and all kinds of gossip were flying, all about the sacrifice of thieves and the general of Dingguo.

When the people who fled outside the city returned to the city one after another, Xiangyang City returned to its former prosperity.

Wang Dou sat in the West Gate Tower of Xiangyang City, and his subordinates constantly reported to him various movements inside and outside the city.

After Li Guangheng chased straight out of the south gate, because some of the thieves fled to the southeast of Xiangyang, he divided a team of men and horses to chase and kill. After the thieves in the city were killed, Wang Dou also sent two teams of cavalry to participate in the southeast to kill.

On the way to kill the fleeing thieves, near the Yangjia River, the soldiers of the Shunxiang Army also found a group of fleeing officers and soldiers, who were robbing the merchants and people. After a rush of killing, the rest were all captured, about 100 people, and the ministry asked the general for instructions on how to deal with these people.

But he said that the leader was an officer and soldier Qianzong, and I heard that he had something to do with the "Ping Thief General" Zuo Liangyu, and his sister was Zuo Liangyu's favorite concubine at this time. The people who were captured were also arrogant, they had different accents, and the results of the interrogation showed that there were many former thieves and thieves, or people recruited from all over the country to serve as soldiers and eat food, not all of them were from the Huguang people's clan.

Wang Dou stared at the outside of the city, and just said lightly: "Lock them up with those captured bandits and ruffians, and wait for Xiangyang to deal with them afterwards!" ”

Xie Yike was beside Wang Dou, and when he heard this, he said contemptuously: "These officers and soldiers, it's not okay to kill thieves, but they have a hand in harming the people." When I heard them, I remembered the brutes I had seen in Baoan Prefecture and all over Yongning City before. ”

Wang Dou snorted coldly: "If it falls into my hands, count them unlucky." ”

Everyone in the Chinese military department looked at each other and smiled, knowing that the general had moved to kill, in the past in Baozhou and other places, such officers and soldiers scum, I don't know how many kills, bumped into the general's hands, it is indeed their bad luck.

At this moment, a group of people rolled in from the official road all night, and they were galloping while shouting: "Great victory, great victory of the Shunxiang army." Great victory, great victory, thief destroyed, sacrifice thief killed, great victory, silent thief killed......"

With a bang, everyone who heard the news boiled.

Wang Dou was also overjoyed, and after not receiving the details of the detailed report at night, he laughed out loud.

Great, Zhang Xianzhong is finally dead, and it is not in vain that he has worked hard to plan.

The thief died, and was killed by the general of Dingguo, and the news spread quickly, and the whole city was in an uproar.

Zhang Kejian, the deputy military envoy who got the news, Wang Chengzeng, the prefect of Xiangyang, and others hurried over...... When he saw Wang Dou, he asked: "I heard that the thief died, is this serious?" ”

Wang Dou said: "Of course, our soldiers are chasing down the remnants of the thieves, and soon they will return to the division, and then they will be able to sacrifice the remains of the thieves." ”

Zhang Kejian and the others were all overjoyed, and they all murmured: "Great, great." ”…,

Zhang Kejian and Wang Chengzeng exchanged glances, and Zhang Kejian said: "Your department killed the giant thief, solved the danger of the country, relieved the worries of the saints, and made immortal miraculous achievements!" As a soldier, how can this officer not express something? When you go out of the city for ten miles! ”

"Oh?"

Wang Dou looked at them for a while and said, "It's okay, let's go out of the city to meet each other." ”

At this time, Zhang Kejian had already collected some scattered officers and soldiers, so he chose a general who was closely related to him, led some soldiers, together with various officials in Xiangyang, as well as some village elders in each fang, called a guard of honor and music class, etc., and played all the way, and accompanied Wang Dou and others out of the city.

The people of Xiangyang who got the news gathered at the west gate of Xiangyang, not far from the west gate, along the official road moat, all the way to the west street in the city, which was full of people.

Ten miles away from the west of Xiangyang City, there is a memorial arch on the official road, there is a pavilion to welcome officials on the side, Wang Dou led the general guard, the Central Military Department, and Zhang Kejian and others waited at the pavilion.

When the time came, I heard the sound of hooves in front of me like thunder, and a large force of cavalry came under black pressure. Looking at that kind of momentum, Zhang Kejian and the Xiangyang soldiers were all proud, but he didn't expect that Wang Dou had so many elite cavalry in addition to the strong cavalry in Xiangyang City, no wonder he was able to destroy the thief.

Soon, the army rushed to the front of the archway, and the whole army dismounted.

Wen Fangliang, Gao Shiyin, and Li Guangheng came out of the crowd, strode in front of Wang Dou, pushed the gold mountain, poured the jade pillar, and bowed to Wang Dou: "See the general!" "The first page is strong, and all the troops behind you bow down and drink together!" See the generals! ”

Wang Dou stretched out his hand and said in a deep voice: "All the soldiers are suffering! ”

The crowd shouted: "I am willing to die for the general!" ”

The sound shook the four fields, and everyone in Xiangyang changed color, trembling and did not dare to move.

Gao Shiyin stood up abruptly and shouted, "Take it!" ”

Immediately, a soldier came out of the ranks, threw a head in front of the archway, and shouted: "The head of the thief is one level."

Another soldier came out, threw off his head, and shouted the same: "The thief's head is one level." ”

Someone else came out and threw down their heads.

Someone else ......

Slowly, the official road in front of the archway was full of people, Zhang Kejian and others inhaled, so many heads, it would not be the bandits who attacked Xiangyang, all of them died.

Some armor soldiers came over with a few corpses and said, "The thieves' generals Bai Wenxuan, Ma Wu, Wang Xingguo, and the corpse of Liu Wenxiu, the son of the thief, are here!" ”

Zhang Kejian and others stepped forward to watch, it was indeed a thief's back, a thief. plus the thief Ai Nengqi who was killed in the city, including the thief's department, all of them were gone.

Finally, in everyone's expectation, Zhang Xianzhong's body was moved, Zhang Kejian and others watched, and finally confirmed, all of them shouted: "It is indeed a thief, it is indeed a thief, it is undoubtedly a thief, die well, die well!" ”

Looking at Zhang Xianzhong's corpse, the hearts of all the people in Xiangyang were mixed, it was this person, Chongzhen had been a scourge of the Ming Dynasty since three years. In the eighth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong broke through Fengyang, dug the tomb of Emperor Gao, cut down hundreds of thousands of pines and cypresses in the imperial tomb, when the government and the opposition were shaken, Emperor Chongzhen put on mourning clothes and ran to the temple to cry.

Chongzhen ten years, Zhang Xianzhong surrendered, twelve years, re-rebellion, after which it was out of control, the supervisor Yang Huchang set the policy of "four positive six corners" and "ten sides of the net", and the army of 100,000 pursued and suppressed...... The teachers mobilized the crowd, and they all let Zhang Xianzhong run away.

On the contrary, it attacked Xiangyang and died in the hands of Wang Dou, who came to help on the road, and the world is wonderful.

Zhang Kejian muttered: "Peerless miraculous feats." ”

Zhang Kejian sent people to find some carts and put the heads of the thieves and the corpses of the thieves on the cars. In particular, on a large cart, a wooden pillar was erected, and Zhang Xianzhong's body was tied high on it, as well as his dead son, the same is true.

When the army entered the city, Wang Doubu's one-color cavalry armor made the people of Xiangyang awe-inspired, but then the cart that came over made the whole city boil. Countless people watched the sacrifice of the thief's corpse, the crowd was crowded, the entire West Street was crowded, and even the roofs were full of people. …,

Finally, a high platform was set up in front of the drum tower at the entrance of the street, and the thief corpse and thief level were displayed to the public for several days, and the daily audience was like a tide, and King Xiang couldn't help but go to watch.

The prosperity of its lineup is specifically recorded in Shi Mingren's notes.

At this time, the news of Luoyang's victory just reached Xiangyang, and the whole city was shaken, and the name of Wang Dou was known to the women and children of Xiangyang City.

Not only that, the matter of Luoyang and Xiangyang has spread to the entire Huguang and Jiangnan at an astonishing speed, and the name of Wang Dou is truly heard all over the world and known to the world.

Wang Dou won two great victories, two rescues of the vassal king, especially the battle of Xiangyang, quite legendary, its process experience, and later was performed by the world into a variety of legends, romances, operas, novels, there are many sayings, varied.

There is a saying that is more recognized by the world, after the victory of Luoyang, Wang Dou, the general of the Dingguo State, because of the military department, galloped in the starry night, and rushed into Sichuan day and night. happened to rush to Xiangyang City, saw the riot in the city, sent a sentry cavalry detective, and immediately rescued after learning that the thieves attacked the city.

Out of confidence in his own combat strength, General Dingguo only took one division with him, and sent two armies to cross the river from the upper reaches of the Han River, cut off the back road of the thieves, and finally successfully rescued the city and killed the thieves.

At that time, everyone sighed that the king was lucky and made this miraculous feat.

Of course, there are also doubts about this statement, two thousand cavalry crossing the river at night, it is not a simple matter, there are a lot of things that need to be crossed, who will help them cross the water?

Some people kept jumping out and said that they helped the army cross the water, but some people checked and verified, and many of them belonged to nothing.

The battle of Xiangyang is full of mysteries and has become a difficult problem in historiography, and the world has been arguing for many years.

On the same day, the army entered the city, and Zhang Kejian, the deputy envoy of the military garrison, and others did not dare to slack off, and arranged for the army to be stationed in various military camps in the city to rest, and carried a large amount of wine and meat for reward. Not only that, but in the following days, the villagers of Xiangyang Shishen continued to comfort them.

In the afternoon, after a sumptuous banquet in the Bingxian Mansion, Zhang Kejian and Wang Chengzeng, the prefect of Xiangyang, glanced at each other and nodded secretly.

Zhang Kejian warmly greeted Wang Doubian with tea, and then said tentatively: "The general has won a great victory, and he has made great achievements, I don't know how to write this good news?" ”

Wang Dou bet quietly. Tea, put down the teacup: "What does Bingxian mean?" ”

Zhang Kejian and Wang Chengzeng were happy: "There is a play." ”

Wang Chengzeng said with a smile on his face: "General Wang, the intention of the lower officials is that some Spring and Autumn brushwork can be used on this good news." ”

Seeing Wang Dou's frowns, he hurriedly said: "No, no, no, don't misunderstand the meaning of the lower officials!" The general's merits, the subordinates and others will never dare to erase half a point! What the lower official means is that you can have a few good words with me and Bing Xian on the good news, and mention a few strokes. ” 。 ）
