After serving as the governor of Shaanxi, Wen Kun knew his duties, and the third army of the Zheng family army stationed in Shaanxi, with a total number of 50,000 people, was commanded by Hong Xintao and Zheng Kaitao, deputy commanders of the Zheng army.

Shaanxi is in the north of the Ming Dynasty, in the face of the increasingly chaotic situation in the north, Shaanxi's stability is particularly important, as long as Shaanxi is still under the control of Zheng Jiajun, then Zheng Xunrui can calmly deal with the chaos in the north, otherwise the entire north is controlled by any party's forces, and the problems faced by Zheng Jiajun in other days are extremely complicated.

The stability of Shaanxi did play a role in the north, and the vast majority of merchants and scholars in the north, even including many scholars in the north of Zhili, chose to enter Shaanxi to take refuge, whether it was a liukou or a Houjin Tartar, they did not choose to attack Shaanxi, and according to Zheng Xunrui's order, the task of the third army of the Zheng family army was to protect Shaanxi, not to participate in the chaos in the north.

It is precisely because of the stability of Shaanxi that a large number of talents and money have been absorbed, and Wenkun's most important energy is to absorb talents for Zheng Xunrui.

Shaanxi's status is so important, and it is very strange in terms of official appointments.

Wen Kun and Hong Xintao can be said to have no relationship with the imperial court, they completely relied on Zheng Xunrui to get their current identity, and the relationship between the two and Zheng Xunrui is extraordinary, Wen Kun needless to say, and Zheng Xunrui is a family relationship. Hong Xintao is also one of the 800 warriors of Hongjiabao, and belongs to one of the generals of the Zheng family army who are most loyal to Zheng Xunrui.

To put it mildly, Wen Kun and Hong Xintao and others will never obey the orders of the emperor and the imperial court, only Zheng Xunrui's orders and requirements, they will truly obey, and they will not talk about any price.

Li Zicheng was stationed in Shanxi and Henan. Zheng Jiajun was once ordered to enter Henan and Shanxi, and then quickly retreated, but part of the army was stationed in Tongguan and part in Yan'an, always keeping an eye on the movements of the Liukou.

After Yang Sichang led the imperial army to conquer the Liukou, Wen Kun paid more attention to all the measures of the Liukou.

More than a month has passed, Yang Sichang is guarding Zhending Mansion in Beizhili, and Li Zicheng is still in Taiyuan, Shanxi, and there is no movement on either side. It doesn't seem to be ready for a large-scale fight.

This situation was so abnormal, Wen Kun felt that the situation was not right, and after discussing with Hong Xintao, he decided to send more people to collect intelligence and see what Yang Sichang and Li Zicheng wanted to do.

Secretly, Wen Kun also has his own prediction, he thinks that Yang Sichang is very likely not to fight with Li Zichang for the time being, and what conditions the two sides will meet. If the conditions meet the demands of both sides, it is unlikely that this fight will begin.

Wen Kun never thought that Yang Sichang would ask Liukou to attack Shaanxi.

When Wen Kun got this information. Gu Junen was already about to arrive at the Zhending Mansion in Beizhili.

Hearing this information, Wen Kunqi's nose was about to be crooked, and he couldn't imagine that Yang Sichang, the dignified cabinet assistant, would come up with such a crooked idea, letting Liukou and Zheng Jiajun fight each other, while the imperial court watched the loss of strength on both sides.

After calming down. Wen Kun also admires Yang Sichang, and it is not easy to think of such an idea.

Wen Kun quickly consulted with Hong Xintao and asked Zheng Jiajun to make all preparations.

Yang Sichang was able to think of such a scheme, and Wen Kun would not be polite, he quickly leaked the news. After all, there are many princes, scholars, scholars and businessmen in Xi'an Fucheng, and sure enough, after the news leaked out, those princes who came to Xi'an Fucheng to take refuge cursed Yang Sichang, and some scholars decided to write a memorabilia to the imperial court and impeach Yang Sichang.

Wen Kun knew that these curses and impeachments had little effect, and the emperor in the capital wanted Zheng Jiajun to fight with the rogue, so the key was to see what Zheng Xunrui's opinion was on this matter.

Nanjing must have known the news, and the relevant countermeasures will come soon.

What Wen Kun needs to do is to wait patiently, and at the same time be on all precautions to prevent the rogue from suddenly attacking Shaanxi.

Nanjing, Ministry of War.

The Investigation Agency had already sent the information, and this time it almost didn't take a lot of effort, after all, Gu Junen had already made the information public, and the Investigation Agency could easily obtain relevant information.

Zhou Yanru, Yang Tingshu, Zheng Jinhong, Gan Xuekuo, Wen Zhenheng, Chen Yutai, Lin Zonghui, Xiong Wencan, Yang Yipeng and others showed anger after learning the news.

Zheng Xunrui did not express any anger.

Looking at the documents on the table, and then looking at everyone, Zheng Xunrui let out a long breath.

"What do you think about this?"

This time, everyone set their eyes on Zheng Jinhong, the secretary of the Criminal Department and the chief soldier of the Zheng Family.

Zheng Jinhong was not polite, and spoke quite angrily.

"Lord Yang's approach makes people not understand, as the second assistant of the cabinet, he should have fought with the Liukou, but he did not move, instigating the Liukou to fight with the Zheng family......

Zheng Jinhong's suggestion has been basically recognized by everyone, and many people nod frequently.

The situation in the north is chaotic, although the Houjin Tartars have withdrawn from the fight, but the troops in Liaodong are eyeing each other, once there is a huge fluctuation in the pass, Huang Taiji will never miss the opportunity, the imperial army led by Yang Sichang has been stationed in the area of Zhending Mansion for some time, but it has not launched an attack for a long time, which is not normal, who knows that until now, it is actually such news.

Zheng Jiajun and Liukou started a fight in Shaanxi, the situation is obviously unfavorable, in any case, the number of Liukou is a large number, the investigation bureau has touched the information, the total strength of Liukou has exceeded 600,000, such a huge team, by no means the Zheng Jiajun stationed in Shaanxi The 50,000 people of the Third Army can deal with it, if you want to completely exterminate Li Zicheng, I am afraid that you need to use the first army of the Zheng Jiajun in Nanzhili, and even the second army of the Zhengjia Army stationed in Shandong.

Besides, the Zheng Jiajun and the Liukou are caught in a fight, the imperial court can get a respite, and the Houjin Tartar can also get a respite, and the two tigers will be injured if they fight, if the Zheng Jiajun suffers a major loss, even if the Liukou is defeated, it will be difficult to protect Shaanxi, and then it will not be watching the imperial army enter Shaanxi.

So no matter what level of analysis you look at, it's not a good thing to fight with Li Zicheng.

After Zheng Jinhong finished speaking, Zheng Xunrui shook his head slightly, obviously disagreeing with this suggestion.

"Lord Zheng's thoughts represent the meaning of many of you, but I don't see it that way."

"Yang Sichang instigated Li Zicheng to attack Shaanxi, the purpose is to let Zheng Jiajun and Liukou catch and fight, this idea is very good, I have to say that Yang Sichang still has some ideas, last time Yang Sichang also made a suggestion to the emperor, let Zheng Jiajun exterminate Liukou, didn't we take the opportunity to completely exterminate Zhang Xianzhong, and also completely controlled Huguang and Sichuan and other places, so sometimes we can't look at everything with a pessimistic posture."

When Zheng Xunrui said this, everyone was silent.

"Li Zicheng and Gu Junen may not be at the mercy of Yang Sichang, if their IQ is so low, it will be difficult to rebel for so many years, this time Gu Junen specially disclosed the news, and personally went to Zhending Mansion to negotiate, which shows that Li Zicheng is fully prepared."

"You should pay attention to the fact that Li Zicheng may not attack Shaanxi with all his might, Li Zicheng occupies most of Henan and Shanxi, he must hold these places, if he really leaves these places, how can Yang Sichang, who is stationed in Zhending Mansion, be idle and will occupy these places soon, when Li Zicheng loses all his territory, how can he feed the 600,000 people under his command."

"Li Zicheng and Gu Junen will think of this, so their attack on Shaanxi is likely to be tentative, even if they decide to really attack Shaanxi, the number of troops dispatched will not exceed 100,000, after all, Li Zicheng has learned the power of the Zheng family's army, he will not go all out, so even if the attack fails, he can still preserve his strength."

"Shaanxi's Third Army must be ready to face the battle, and in this operation, we must not have any reservations, concentrate all artillery and firearms, and deal a devastating blow to the rogues."

"The best way for us to solve the contradiction is to really defeat the rogue, once Li Zicheng suffers a loss, he will change direction and spread his anger on the head of the imperial army, and at that time, we will be able to truly control the situation."

"The Third Army stationed in Shaanxi must also be pulled out to fight, I have not experienced fighting for so many years, I am afraid that many soldiers are a little lazy, we are about to completely calm the situation in the south, and soon we will start a full-scale attack on the north, at this time let the Third Army take the lead, boost morale, it is also a very good arrangement."

"I said a long time ago that strength can represent everything, relying on intrigue and trickery, it is difficult to maintain it for a long time, Yang Sichang was originally a good talent, but unfortunately he was forced to the road of the sword to the side, and it is difficult to maintain it for a long time."

"The attitude of the emperor and the court doesn't need to be considered, we are ready for ourselves, but I still say the same thing, we don't take the initiative to provoke, but if someone dares to take the initiative to attack, then we will never let him go."

"This time, let Li Zicheng experience the true bravery of Zheng Jiajun." (To be continued.) )
