Zhang Biwu said to Yuan Zongdi again: "Also, I think Luo Rucai will leave Zhang Xianzhong in a short time!" Zhang Xianzhong is domineering, without the grace to tolerate people, Luo Rucai and his subordinates must be very uncomfortable! Luo Rucai's departure can also be inferred! At that time, if King Chuang can really learn from Luo Ru and join together, his strength will definitely increase! Of course, I will stop the rendezvous between King Chuang and Luo Rucai! It's just that out of my kindness to King Chuang, I will also say it in advance! ”

Yuan Zongdi understood that if Li Zicheng could be combined with Luo Rucai, his strength would increase greatly! Yuan Zongdi was naturally full of gratitude to Zhang Biwu, and after saying thank you, he hurried back. Of course, Yuan Zongdi was secret when he came, and it was extremely secret when he left.

Zhang Biwu urged the men and horses to move forward, and asked people to report to Yang Sichang urgently, saying that he ordered the people of his headquarters to come to help Yang Sichang suppress the thieves, with the hope of the whole monarch's father.

Before Zhang Biwu's men and horses left Lushi County, an envoy from Yang Sichang came, but this envoy did not have the color of wind and dust, but his clothes were relatively clean, his face was ruddy, and he was full of energy.

Zhang Biwu wondered in his heart: "Seeing that the messengers who urged me to send troops one after another were all dusty, and none of them were as energetic as him, they were all dragged out of energy in the hurry!" He looks very energetic! It doesn't look like there's a lack of sleep, there's not enough rest! This is very different from the messengers who have come to me! ”

Zhang Biwu thought of this, he remembered Qin Huaiyu's reminder again, he had to remind him in his heart, be careful!

The envoy saluted Zhang Biwu and said, "Under the strict order of the Governor and the Auxiliary Minister, please General Zhang quickly leave the area of Zhongxiang in Chengtianfu, and by the way, help the Inspector to see if there is no problem with the Beijing camp guarding Zhong Xiang!" It is more appropriate to go to Zhongxiang in the area of Yicheng, which is not far from Zhongxiang! Because it is much safer without a thief army, and you can understand the defense of this area. Please follow this route! After all, Zhong Xiang is the place of Jiajingye's 'Zhong Ju Xiangrui'! ”

Zhang Biwu saw that what he said was reasonable, Zhong Xiang was also valued by the Ming Dynasty, Jiajing since the death of Emperor Zhengde, he was born by Zhong Xiang, so he was welcomed as the emperor, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are the descendants of Emperor Jiajing, how can they not value Zhong Xiang? Zhong Xiang has the mausoleum of Jiajing's father!

There is just one point, Shashi is not too far from Zhongxiang, more than 120 kilometers, and there are many Ming Dynasty officials and troops gathered here, and Zhang Xianzhong did not dare to attack easily.

If Yicheng is different, in Yicheng Luo Rucai used to be the general soldier of Yicheng Yang Shien Yu Xiangyouping, Luo Rucai is familiar with the terrain of Yicheng, and now Luo Rucai is in a joint camp with Zhang Xianzhong! If Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong set off from Suizhou to attack themselves, it would be very easy!

If he is ambushed again in Yicheng County, it is inevitable that he is not the second Yang Shien! Zhang Biwu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought of this!

And the messenger said: "General Zhang, the Governor and the Auxiliary Minister are seriously ill, and they are almost sick!" He told you to hurry up and get to Shashi, only this road is safe! As long as you get to everything, it's easy to say! At that time, the Governor and the Auxiliary Minister will hand over all the military to you! Because you have repeatedly defeated the Qing army, and even the Tartars have been subdued by the generals so fiercely, what else is a thief? This time, I'm really handing over all the military power to you, the general! This is also the emperor's secret order from you after hearing that the superintendent and the assistant minister are sick! ”

When Zhang Biwu heard it, wow! What a temptation! Give me the command of the officers and troops who command more than a dozen provinces? Ha! However, Zhang Biwu is still very sober-minded, can he, a guerrilla general, command so many general soldiers? The general soldiers won't listen, not even the big red man around the emperor, let alone a small guerrilla general! And it's not very strong!

When the envoy saw that Zhang Biwu was still hesitating and suspicious, he had to dispel Zhang Biwu's suspicions: "The emperor will add the general to the post of general and use the power to regency the army to suppress the thieves!" The emperor's trust in the general is known to the whole country! The emperor often said that among the generals, if you want to see it, you can see Zhang Biwu! I will reuse it! This has been spread all over the country! General Zhang! Please don't hesitate any longer! Quickly travel from Yicheng to Zhongxiang and then to Shashi! Otherwise, if you miss the opportunity, it will be bad! ”

Zhang Biwu was still laughing, he knew that the envoy of the Dao was urging himself to go to the established route so urgently, there were really too many suspicious things! However, Zhang Biwu's brain is spinning fast, and he knows that the Tao cannot be reversed!

He then showed his face and ecstasy: "Good! Meritorious service is in the present day! Ben will not live up to the emperor's grace! It will also let the Governor and the Auxiliary Minister and the last general set up a thief together, and then prosper the rare miracles of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Zhang Biwu turned to his rear team and shouted: "Order the whole army to march towards Yicheng, from Yicheng to Zhongxiang and then directly to Shashi!" ”

"Yes!" The herald said that he understood, and shouted: "The whole army will march to Yicheng, turn from Yicheng to Zhongxiang and then go directly to Shashi!" ”

When the messenger heard this, he laughed, and laughed very sinisterly and excitedly, and he knew that he had done a great job, and when he returned, he was still worried that there would be no reward?

And all this made Zhang Biwu see it in his eyes, and Zhang Biwu sneered, really let him go to Yicheng? How can it be?

As soon as Zhang Biwu's men came out, the Lu clan heard the rumor that Yang Sichang had died of illness, and his last order was to hand over the whole army to Zhang Biwu to lead and suppress the thieves.

Huang Qi happily came to Zhang Biwu and said, "Biwu, did you hear that?" Now it is rumored everywhere that you will succeed Yang Sichang as the commander of the thief army! When he was in Lushi County, didn't Yang Sichang's envoy say? The emperor is going to entrust you with a heavy responsibility, and this time it seems that you are going to be able to show your strength! Ha Lu Ha! ”

For Huang Qi's happiness and the excitement of the whole army, Zhang Biwu was full of sadness, because Qin Huaiyu's worries had been surrounding his mind, and the envoy's abnormality, as soon as he left the Lu County border and his own territory, this rumor spread all over the sky! Chongzhen's performance seems to be very important to him, but he is on guard everywhere in his bones!

Twice thrown into prison, nine deaths and one life! How can Zhang Biwu be loyal to Chongzhen? And Zhang Biwu is not the kind of person who has been holding the Confucian classics of Confucius since he was a child and reading the idea of loyalty, he would rather treat me with a national soldier and repay him with a national scholar! If you treat me with dung, I will repay it with dung! A little bit of grace should be repaid by the spring, and the resentment of the eyes must also be repaid!

Be careful, be careful! Such thoughts are constantly bubbling up in my heart! The greater the temptation, the more lethal it is!

And to the east is Suizhou! Suizhou is where Zhang Xianzhong is! If Zhang Xianzhong believed the rumors that Zhang Biwu would take over as the president of the thief army, and he would pass through Yicheng, he could come from Suizhou quickly, and Zhang Biwu would only be dead at that time!

Zhang Biwu decided to take a long detour, and did not hesitate to use Zaoyang, Xiangyang Mansion to bypass Suizhou and Yicheng! Of course, you have to march slowly, and you have to pretend to be here! In fact, it was a quick arrival at Zhongxiang.

Zhang Biwu has already made a decision, his speed is not fast, and he still makes it like he wants to go from Yicheng to Zhongxiang and then to Shashi along the way.

But he didn't know that Zhang Biwu ordered the army to advance quickly, and he quickly ran towards Zhong Xiang! Along the way, he was walking very fast.

As soon as he approached Zhongxiangdi, Zhang Biwu saw that the officers and soldiers were gathering and made a gesture of going to war.

The officers and soldiers couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Zhang Biwu's army, Zhang Biwu showed his banner, and the officers and soldiers panicked, because they originally notified Zhang Biwu's army to fight fiercely with Zhang Xianzhong, and they quickly went to fight, but now that Zhang Biwu's army has arrived, they can't help but be stupid.

Fortunately, there are not many officers and troops in this area, except for Zhong Xiang's Jingying army, there are very few Huguang troops, not to mention troops from other places.

Zhang Biwu saw that there were not many officers and soldiers here, so he knew that Yang Sichang must be wary of Zhang Biwu seeing that he wanted to use Zhang Biwu as bait to lure Zhang Xianzhong into being deceived, so he would win Zhang Xianzhong in order to win the victory, after all, since Zhang Xianzhong attacked Xiangyang, the official army was defeated and retreated, and the righteous army was like a rainbow, constantly growing, and its strength was constantly increasing, and now as long as Zhang Xianzhong is defeated, there is hope.

Really! Zhang Xianzhong moved his men and horses to Yicheng to prevent Zhang Biwu's arrival, but Zhang Biwu was loud, but he didn't come, and this time Zhang Xianzhong pounced.

Zhang Xianzhong heard the news of Suizhou being attacked, he knew that there would be officials and troops in Yicheng, and he did not return to save Suizhou, originally Yang Sichang's plan was to let Zhang Xianzhong return to rescue Suizhou, he took the opportunity to let the officers and troops who had gathered in Yicheng and Zhongxiang give Zhang Xianzhong a heavy blow, and now his plan has failed.

However, recovering Suizhou and forcing Zhang Xianzhong into the Yicheng area is also a victory, and Zuo Liangyu was demoted at this time, and he was asked to make meritorious contributions! Zuo Liangyu had to lead the army to come.

To tell the truth, Zhang Biwu is very envious of Zuo Liangyu, he failed, he was only demoted, and he could still have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, if he Zhang Biwu was to go to prison directly!

The reason why he didn't have such a good life as Zuo Liangyu was that he only had 2,000 people in his hands! How much can these two thousand people do? No kidding! With only two thousand people, you want the court to pay attention to you? Impossible! The imperial court is not just arresting the generals with only 2,000 people! Kill if you want? Strength is everything! If Yang Sichang gives Zhang Biwu people now, he can have these horses, and he will be able to get rid of this kind of treatment of being arrested and imprisoned casually in the future!

It's a pity not now! You have to be a man with your tail between your legs! It can only be on par with Zuo Liangyu, who has a heavy army in his hand! Zhang Biwu knows better than anyone else in his heart that expanding his strength is the most important thing! However, too many people in the DPRK will restrain him and not expand his military strength. Unlike Zuo Liangyu, Zuo Liangyu has no one to restrain him, and he can confidently and boldly expand his strength.
