Yang Sichang set off to Shanxi to suppress the thieves and quell the chaos, except for the recruits recruited near Gyeonggi, most of the soldiers he brought with him were Beijing battalion soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was average. But now even if you have to bite the bullet, there was Lu Xiangsheng before, Gao Qiqian and others took the lead for him, and now there are fewer and fewer people who can fight, Yang Sichang has always been known for knowing soldiers, this time it is also on the top, and on the top is also on it.

The army chose the line from Baoding to Zhending, and finally entered Shanxi through the Taihang Mountain from Jingcheng.

And since the fall of Taiyuan, the news of the martyrdom of King Jin reached the capital, the Chongzhen Emperor who was originally full of confidence in Yang Sichang suddenly had no bottom, Taiyuan City is the first important town in Shanxi, the city is high and deep, and the city is broken overnight, and more importantly, Shanxi, especially Taiyuan, is a natural barrier for the Beijing Division, once the thieves enter the three passes to take the Beijing Division, and retreat can defend Taiyuan and according to the east of the river.

This Emperor Chongzhen, who has already dominated the eleventh emperor in the world, has a deep fear of thieves for the first time, even if Zhang Xianzhong digs the ancestral grave of the old Zhu family, all he has is anger and self-blame. So immediately following Yang Sichang's departure from Beijing, the emperor's second holy decree also went out of Beijing and summoned soldiers and horses from all over the country to rescue Shanxi.

But how many people can do what they are told? For example, Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong Town, although he said in tears when he left Beijing that he must do his best for the imperial court and die, he turned his face and began to plan to protect himself.

Of course, in addition to the emperor's decree, there are also Yang Sichang of Shanxi, Baoding, and Henan, who can transfer troops to Datong Mansion, and the first thing that comes to mind before the soldiers enter Jingcheng is Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong Town. At the same time, Zuo Liangyu of Henan was urgently transferred to lead his troops across the Yellow River and go north to suppress them.

In this regard, Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan, was very positive, after all, the thieves ran out from them, and if the emperor pursued it, it might be light to lose his official position. And Zuo Liangyu didn't know why, but he was swaying in Jiyuan.

It was in this situation that Li Xin's Sanwei also launched a discussion on whether to send troops, in fact, neither Yang Sichang nor Emperor Chongzhen expected Li Xin's thousands of soldiers to be able to compete with the thieves. Especially Yang Sichang, the three guards were not subordinate to the general army of Datong Town in terms of rank, but they were also dispatched by Hong Chengchou, the governor of Xuanda, and Yang Sichang, the governor of Shanxi, but Yang Sichang only sent people to transfer Wang Pu's soldiers, and did not inform the Sanwei Zhenjun army, which had won a lot in the battle with the Mongol Tatars a year ago.

Of course, there is contempt for Li Xin, but it is more of a dissatisfaction and resistance to Emperor Chongzhen's decision to set up another three guards, and it is at this time that he is still thinking about the layout of the court.

And the voice of the main battle in the three guards is almost only Li Xin, from Mao Weizhang to Qian Tai, and even Heisenberg and Albert are all in a wait-and-see attitude, and even Lu Jiu, who has always been the only one around Li Xin, is silent.

Hunyuan Prefecture is the sphere of influence in Li Xin's layout, and the thieves have now arrived in Daizhou, which can be said to be close to Hunyuan Prefecture. When it comes to Daizhou, that rather naughty pretty face is always in front of her, she walks all over the Jingshi Shanxi, coordinating the relationship between all parties, not a simple woman, I am afraid that only in front of him will show the unknown side of her daughter. Li Xin is not a fool, how can he not feel the affection in her heart. When I think of this, I feel like a hundred claws scratching my heart......

But if he wants to send troops but it will not stop there, the thieves are in trouble, the war is just around the corner, if he does not reject the enemy outside the country, then the next war will burn to Datong, after being ravaged by the war, how much time will it take for this batch of land to recover as before?

But just when Li Xin was about to send troops, a rumor spread, and the identity of Huang Fei's daughter and her deep affection for Li Xin spread in a boiling manner. There are even people talking behind his back, the chief soldier insists on sending troops this time, I'm afraid it's just to save his woman. This is also human nature, but as long as there are heroes, how many can pass the beauty level lightly?

As for the secret that Huang Yu is a daughter, there have long been rumors among the major trading companies in Shanxi, and it is not surprising that it broke out this time. Mao Weizhang did not say anything about this, only said that only the orders of the general army were obeyed. Qian Tai's attitude is still resolutely opposed to Li Xin's troops, thinking that the good situation is not easy to achieve, and he can't start the war lightly, maybe Yang Sichang can defeat the thieves after entering Jingcheng, why do you need Sanwei to do this?

Only Heisenberg's attitude took a 180-degree turn, and when he heard that Li Xin insisted on revitalizing his teacher in order to save his beloved woman, this German, who had always been unsmiling, made a rare joke.

"If you are going to save your beloved woman, Heisenberg would like to support His Excellency the General in his personal name, with both hands and feet!"

Looking at Heisenberg, who came to express his position, Li Xin couldn't help laughing, he insisted that sending troops was a decision made after considering the overall situation, and it was never a decision made for his own selfish interests, but after a few days of rumors, this matter fell like yellow mud into the crotch of his pants, and the more he described it, the darker it became, and he simply stopped explaining it.

This news even reached Gao Shiming's ears. After the checkpoint on the east bank of the Yuhe River successfully resisted the plague, it immediately held elections according to the Chaoyangbao model and managed autonomously, Gao Shiming knew nothing about it, and could not find his place for a while, so he returned to Yanghewei. Hearing that Li Xin planned to send troops for a woman, he naturally strongly opposed it, and did not hesitate to press him as a lieutenant envoy.

didn't listen to any explanation from Li Xin, no matter how Li Xin analyzed from the overall situation, Gao Shiming shook his head like a drum, in short, two words "no way"! Of course, Gao Shiming did this with selfish intentions, and Li Xin's failure to send troops was a big deal, but if the troops were defeated, he Gao Shiming would sit here as a lieutenant envoy and be hanged up.

Of course, Li Xin sent troops to another result, that is, a complete victory, but Gao Shiming did not believe that there was a possibility of victory at all, what are you kidding, even a big city like Taiyuan and other cities with high pools and deep pools can't stop the thieves, so he rushed up with only 2,000 people.

In the end, even Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong Town, sent a letter, advising Li Xin to be calm, and not to spoil his own good form because of anger. Not only that, but his closest brother Lu Jiu joined in the persuasion, looking at Lu Jiu, who was righteous and awe-inspiring, Li Xin suddenly woke up.

The matter between himself and Huang Yu, only Lu Jiu knows what happened before and after, so he released the news just to give the public a reasonable excuse to keep himself. I can't see that Lu Jiu usually looks like he is obedient, but he has some ideas at critical moments, but is it really appropriate to do this?

Li Xin is caught in a tug-of-war with everyone, he tries to convince these opponents, who in turn try to convince him......

The idea of the people is beautiful, but the reality is miserable, and the news of the thieves' invasion of Hunyuan Prefecture spread to Datong Mansion City, and soon spread to Sanwei. The general soldier of Datong Town, Wang Fu, could no longer sit still, and immediately led his troops to Hunyuan.

After Gao Shiming heard the news that the chief soldier Wang Pu had sent troops, he immediately looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and rushed to tell Li Xin: "General Li doesn't need to send troops, since Wang Pu has already sent troops, it must be difficult for thieves to enter Datong Mansion in an inch!" ”

Wang Pu was the first general soldier of the management, and participated in the battle against the Tartars and thieves several times, although the victory and defeat were different, but it can be regarded as a rare battle-hardened general soldier, against a group of new thieves, when there is still a chance of victory. What he was worried about before was that Wang Pu began to seek stability due to the conservative change in mentality and did not send troops, and Li Xin might have a reason to send troops at that time.

Only a day later, Gao Shiming couldn't laugh anymore, and the fact slapped him and many officials in Sanwei who thought that Wang Pu could sit back and relax by sending troops. Wang Pu's army was defeated, the wolf bèi fled back to Datong City, and the thieves actually divided their troops to attack and break through the Yanmen Pass to take Datong.

For a time, there was a lot of noise in Datong Mansion, everyone was in danger, and Gao Shiming looked even more panicked, completely losing the bearing of guiding the world the day before. At this moment, Li Xin raised his arms and shouted, and the three guards sent troops. No one dared to speak out against it anymore, everyone was collectively silent and agreed, only Mao Weizhang stood up, which made Li Xin frown again, this thing didn't want to stop the dispatch of troops at such a time.

"My lord, the lower official has a Jianyì I don't know if to talk about it or not!"

Li Xin was most tired of this kind of opening statement and urged him to speak quickly.

"My lord is the chief soldier of the three guards, and the soldiers under his command are from the three guards, I'm afraid it's no longer appropriate to call the army alone, will it affect the overall morale?"

It had nothing to do with sending troops, and Li Xin was also nervous by those guys for several days. As for the naming of the army, he gave little thought to it, and indeed, naming it after the Zhenyu Guard, although it sounds domineering, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers of the other guards. Immediately promised:

"Change! Change it today, change it to the Three Guards! ”

How do you know that Mao Weizhang arched his hand again: "There is another matter, the matter of the summer military uniform mentioned by the lord last time, the lower official has already completed it with several trading companies, and it has just arrived in Yanghewei today!" ”

Li Xin only casually mentioned it last time, and the military appearance and purge is also one of the combat effectiveness, especially when spring and summer arrive, a set of military uniforms should be purchased for the new army. At that time, Mao Weizhang had carefully asked what kind of regulations the military uniform was based on, and what he was referring to was actually the guard army and recruitment, but who knew that Li Xin came to talk about it with great interest and described the specific style in detail.

After saying the matter of military uniforms, Li Xin also forgot about it, after all, as the head of the three guards, all kinds of things made him unskilled. Mao Weizhang wrote it down, not only did he write it down, but he also did it well! Li Xin couldn't help but look at him again, since the rebellion, he could clearly feel the change in this person, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad!

Wang Pu finally sent people to Yang and Wei to ask Li Xin for help, the thieves were powerful, and his Beijing camp and recruits were defeated, and they couldn't stop it at all, so they could only hope for Li Xin.
