Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Zhai Zhe slept all night in Jingde County.
He slept very peacefully, a rare stability in the past six months. He was not disturbed by Zhang Tianlu of Jixi and the Qing army that was marching to Huizhou.
Huang Daozhou is gone, whether he stays or leaves, this person is not a threat to him, and even in a sense, Huang Ge Lao is also his help. If it weren't for Huang Daozhou's defeat in Huizhou, this place would not have fallen into his hands.
For Zodiac Zhou, Zhai Zhe can't talk about hating, of course, not to mention reverence. In his eyes, there is a large territory, and there is really no time to put down this pavilion elder. In fact, Zhai Zhe has always thought that people like Huang Daozhou should hide in the grass house at home to do learning, instead of coming out to be officials.
In the early morning of the next day, the scouts reported that Huang Daozhou had gathered three to five hundred righteous soldiers in the south of Jixi City and went to the west of the river.
While eating breakfast, Zhai Zhe listened to the scout's report without making any special arrangements.
Since March, Jin Shenghuan, the governor of Jiangxi in the Qing court, has led the army to the south and captured Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi, and is competing with Wan Yuanji, the governor of Jiangxi in the Ming Dynasty, for Ji'an and other places. Huang Daozhou had the courage to break into the tiger's den in Longtan, but he did not have the face to return to Fuzhou.
Now the battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty is like a long snake that traverses the north and south of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty took eastern Zhejiang as the head, southern Anhui, Jiangxi and Huguang as the waist, Liangguang and Yunnan and Guizhou as the tail, and Fujian where the Tang King was located was the hinterland.
The impasse in Jiangnan restrained seventy percent of the soldiers and horses deployed by the Qing captives in the south. The surrender of the three towns in Jiangbei is all in the south of the Yangtze River, which shows that the Qing court attaches great importance to this land. Liu Zeqing was killed by Duoduo under an excuse, the soldiers and horses were under the city of Hangzhou, Liu Liangzuo was besieging Jiangyin, and Li Chengdong inherited Gao Jie's soldiers and horses to garrison Songjiang.
In fact, except for Jiangnan, the Qing captives in the south were almost all the surrendered troops of the original Ming Dynasty.
Jin Shenghuan, the governor of Jiangxi Province in the Qing Dynasty, was originally a subordinate of Zuo Liangyu. At the beginning of this year, after Zuo Liangyu was defeated by Huang Degong, he was angry, and his son Zuo Mengeng led a large army to surrender to Azig. A group of soldiers and horses was brought back to Beijing by Azig and Zuo Mengeng, and Jin Shenghuan led 30,000 people to stay in Jiujiang and was appointed as the governor of Jiangxi. For the Qing court, Jiangxi was the most likely breakthrough, as long as southern Jiangxi was captured, it could cut off the connection between Fujian and Zhejiang and Huguang, Yunnan and Guizhou.
For Daming, the situation in Huguang is the best. After Li Zicheng's death, more than 300,000 remnants of the army were defeated and defected to He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, and the governor of Huguang, and the Qing court was only a pawn of the Ming army and Shun soldiers in the hinterland of Huguang. The Ming Dynasty occupied Hunan, and the Qing court ruled Hubei, but under the shaving order, the people's will was wanted, and the Ming army had a greater advantage.
Zhai Zhe finished breakfast slowly and methodically, and listened to Fang Jin's military reports from all over the country.
After breakfast, he ordered Zheng Zunqian and Sun Quanjing to lead their troops and horses to stay in Jingde County, and he led the soldiers and horses of the Chinese military governor Yang Shouzhuang to return to Jixi.
Liu Suifeng is well-informed in Fuzhou, and Zhai Zhe no longer needs to bother to inquire about the situation in various places by himself, and the whole battle situation is like black and white on a chessboard in his mind. The only thing that is uncertain is that I don't know if the strength of his opponent is like Liu Suifeng or Chen Zilong, he still has hope of turning the tables on the former, if it is the latter, no matter how much he tosses, he will not be able to escape defeat.
The soldiers and horses walked slowly, and Yang Shouzhuang, who was walking in the middle, hung his head, not knowing where his fate would slide.
Zhai Zhe also drooped his head, he thought of Huang Daozhou, and immediately thought of Tang Wang.
After replacing Zodiac Zhou and collecting Huizhou, it was time for a showdown with the Tang Dynasty. King Lu treats him well, but it is an inevitable choice to serve the king of Tang, which is a potential crisis for Zhedong and even for himself.
"I can only choose one enemy, I can't be the enemy of everyone at the same time!" Zhai Zhe's gaze swept over the emerald green late rice in the roadside rice field, and the late rice should be ripe in another month.
In the grassland, Huang Taiji and Lin Dan Khan teamed up to teach him a lesson, if he could reverse this era, he should be grateful to these two people, and he would also be proud of his youthful pride.
Every experience in life is an asset, whether bittersweet or sweet.
At noon, the army arrived outside Jixi City, Zuo Ruo and Fang Guoan came to return to life, Zhang Tianlu went out of the city again today to assault, and there was no doubt that he was hit back head-on.
The Qing army has arrived in Changhua, and it may arrive in front of Yuling Pass tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Zuo Ruo and Fang Guoan are waiting for Zhai Zhe to decide. Jixi City is full of Zhang Tianlu's cronies, and his combat power is the strongest, and these soldiers and horses under the city can trap him, but if he wants to break through Jixi City in two days, he is afraid that it will be difficult.
Zhai Zhe never ordered the siege of the city, because he had never thought of attacking the city. After the generals retreated, he ordered Fang Jin to invite Yang Shouzhuang.
After a while, Yang Shouzhuang bowed and walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, and there was only Zhai Zhe in it, sitting at the desk drinking tea.
Yang Shouzhuang's knees naturally bent down, "Meet the general!" ”
"Get up and speak!" Zhai Zhe put down the teacup, looked up at Yang Shouzhuang carefully, and asked, "I heard that your accent looks like a Shaanxi person!" ”
"Yes!" Yang Shouzhuang didn't dare to look up at Zhai Zhe.
"There are also a few Shaanxi generals in our army, and Zhang Tianlu is also from Shaanxi?"
Yang Shouzhuang nodded, "Governor Zhang was originally in the army under Cao Wenzhao of the Ming Dynasty. He subconsciously called Zhang Tianlu the governor.
Zhai Zhe didn't mind such a trivial matter, and continued to ask: "Zhang Tianlu asked you to be a pioneer, he must have trusted you very much!" ”
Yang Shouzhuang lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"I have something for you to do!" Zhai Zhe propped his elbows on the desk, as if discussing something between friends, "Since you have invested in Daming to cut off your braids, you should know that you were wrong, but Zhang Tianlu doesn't know yet." So, I want to invite you into the city tomorrow to persuade Zhang Tianlu to surrender, what do you think? ”
Yang Shouzhuang opened his mouth wide, how could he have this ability, he twisted for a long time, and said, "I'm just afraid that Zhang Tianlu won't listen to me." ”
"It doesn't matter, everyone is Han, why do you have to fight to the death for the Qing captives. You bring the words, if Zhang Tianlu is stubborn, he will kill himself! ”
Yang Shouzhuang complained in his heart, this is Zhang Tianlu seeking his own death, this is sending him to death.
"What do you see!" Zhai Zhe accentuated his tone, there was no room for negotiation.
Yang Shouzhuang knelt down on one knee, "The last general will obey the order!" ”
Around the end of the day, Zhang Huangyan ordered people to come to report that 30,000 righteous troops had gathered outside the city of Huizhou Mansion, and 66 scattered righteous troops were coming. Zhai Zhe ordered him to collect grain, grass and gunpowder in nearby counties and towns, and prepare for the siege.
Just after the next day, the drums outside Jixi County shook the sky, and the Ming army lined up outside the four gates.
Nearly 5,000 soldiers were concentrated at the north gate, sandwiched in the Ming army, Zhai Zheshu leveled the banner of the general, and ordered Yang Shouzhuang to lead the eight thousand generals under the command of Jixi City to speak.
The army stood five miles away from the city gate, Yang Shouzhuang and other nine people, only he had a horse, and went to the gate of Jixi City.
Far away, Yang Shouzhuang opened his voice and shouted: "General Pingyu asked me to bring a message to the governor!" "He didn't dare to offend any of them now, for fear that a burst of guns from the city would destroy him.
Zhang Tianlu heard the movement outside the city early in the morning, worried that the Ming army would attack the city, so he stood at the head of the city and watched. When someone approached, he saw clearly that it was Yang Shouzhuang, and his heart was estimated to have fallen.
Yang Shouzhuang kept urging the horse to the city gate, and begged: "Please let me go to the city, I have something to say!" ”
Zhang Tianlu stiffened his face and responded: "You have already come to light, what else do you have to say." "It was he who gave up Huizhou City first, so he couldn't complain about Yang Shouzhuang.
Yang Shouzhuang shouted at the top of his voice according to Zhai Zhe's instructions: "Please let me enter the city to speak." ”
Zhang Tianlu waved his hand and said: "Since you have surrendered, you and I are opponents, there is nothing more to say, see you on the battlefield!" ”
Yang Shouzhuang and the other nine people begged bitterly under the city, peeking at Zhai Zhe who did not react on the banner, and did not dare to return to the battle.
Fifty or sixty thousand people in the city and under the city watched the performance of these nine people, Zhang Tianlu gradually felt that something was wrong, and scolded: "If you don't go back, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." ”
Zhai Zhe stole a strange smile.
Zhang Tianlu raised his hand at the head of the city, and there was a crisp sound, and a row of guns was placed at the head of the city.
Yang Shouzhuang and the others were startled, turned around and ran back a few steps, remembering Zhai Zhe's words last night, turned around and came back, begging: "My lord, I have followed you for more than ten years, and I only have a few intimate words to say to you." ”
Zhang Tianlu's face was blue with anger, the burst of guns just now was just a warning, and now he has moved his murderous intent. But when he swept through the neat rows of troops outside the city, his heart suddenly woke up, isn't this Zhai Zhe borrowing a knife to kill people and messing with his army's heart?
If he kills Yang Shouzhuang and the others in full view of everyone, the five thousand soldiers will inevitably die for Zhai Zhe, and they will not dare to come back if anyone surrenders in the future.
Yang Shouzhuang and the others didn't react for a long time when they saw the city, and they didn't expect Zhang Tianlu to hang him into the city, so they changed their words.
"My lord, you and I were both officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning, he was confused and took refuge in Qinglu, but he shaved his head, and he didn't want any courtesy, righteousness and shame, and he was willing to be a slave to the Tartars. It wasn't until the day before yesterday that I was awakened when I met the general, and I didn't want my life, but I couldn't lose this ancestor. Now the King of Lu and the King of Tang have raised troops, and the general complies with the will of the people to resist the shaving order, if you are still a man, you will lead the brothers to cut the braids and put them into the Ming Dynasty. ”
Zhang Tianlu's nostrils smoked, he didn't expect Yang Shouzhuang to dare to teach him a lesson in front of so many people, and he taught him so naturally.
"Release!"
There was another bang at the head of the city, and one of them was shot in the thigh and fell to the ground and did not dare to speak again.
Yang Shouzhuang turned his head to look at the back, and saw that Zhai Zhe had not reacted yet, and continued to nag bitterly.
Zhang Tianlu was furious, and he was sure that Zhai Zhe was killing people with a knife. If he kills Yang Shouzhuang, those soldiers know that there is no way out, and they will add 5,000 troops to eastern Zhejiang for no reason.
The army of Hangzhou City is almost here, see what tricks you can play? Hearing and not being annoyed, Zhang Tianlu simply ordered his own soldiers to guard the city, and turned around and went down to the city to hide in the county office.
Yang Shouzhuang shouted for nearly an hour, and then his voice was hoarse, and finally he heard the sound of the horn behind him, as if he had picked up a life, several thousand generals carried the companion who was shot and wounded and retreated into the queue in a hurry.
The army outside the city returned to the camp.
In the afternoon, the lookout soldiers at the head of the city told Zhang Tianlu that the besieged soldiers and horses outside the city were withdrawing in batches.
Zhang Tianlu didn't believe it, and when he came to see it himself, he saw that the soldiers and horses guarding the road at the west gate were heading towards the north gate, and the soldiers and horses at the north gate were heading towards Yuling Pass. When it got dark, the army outside Jixi City was completely withdrawn.
Zhang Tianlu did not dare to move, and ordered scouts to investigate overnight, confirming that there were no soldiers and horses stationed on the road to the west, and the city of Jingde in the north had been captured by the Ming army.
"The army of Duoduo is coming?" Zhang Tianlu's heart moved.
But he was surrounded by the Ming army on three sides, and he was a newly defeated soldier, so he did not dare to act rashly.
