Chapter 615: Xi'an Righteous Thief

For many years, Shaanxi has been the focus of attention in the world.

Shaanxi thieves rose and the Ming Dynasty died, and Shaanxi was defeated and dispersed.

Liang Chengbao stood at the head of Xi'an City and looked into the distance. For more than 20 days, his head had grown a short layer, covering his scalp.

Zuo Ruo took 15,000 soldiers and horses to Yan'an Mansion, and there were only more than 3,000 Ming troops in the city. Liang Chengbao never expected that Zuo Ruo would hand over the responsibility of defending the city to him.

"Luck is turning so fast," he felt a little smug in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't follow Li Guo to the south back then, otherwise he would be at most a co-defender now

At that time, he had already seen that the Dashun army was over.

A soldier rushed up the city wall with swift steps, and five steps away from him announced: "My lord, there is news from the Governor's Mansion that General Zuo will not be able to return in six or seven days at the earliest

"Got it" Liang Chengbao is still immersed in the memories of the past.

"King Chuang is gone," he pressed his right hand against the cyan masonry. If Zhao Zhicheng hadn't come to the door through Li Guo's connection, he would probably have been a monk for the rest of his life.

There is one more monk in the world who does not abide by the precepts, and one less general who kills people. It couldn't be better.

After a while, another junior colonel approached lightly and said, "My lord, the son of the Zheng family is back."

"Really?" Liang Chengbao retracted his thoughts and turned around, "Let's go, let's take a look"

The group walked down the city wall and slowly returned to the South City Gate Barracks.

Zheng Gongzi hung his head in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, and it was Zheng Yunlai, the son of the Zheng family who went to the Qingyu military camp to secretly report the news. The master of the Zheng family was beheaded by Zuo Ruo at the gate of the Governor's Palace, and Zheng Yunlai was the second son of the Zheng family.

Liang Chengbao's contemptuous eyes flashed.

"Come in"

When the group entered the house, Zheng Yunlai "pounced" and knelt on the ground, crying: "Lord Liang, the villain told him all those words according to your orders. ”

Liang Chengbao sat down and said, "Zheng Gongzi, get up and speak, why is this?" ”

"Please don't hurt my family"

"That's nature, don't worry." Liang Chengbao sat upright, "As long as the captives take the bait, I will not only release the fifty-six members of the Zheng family, but also report to General Zuo to exempt the Zheng family from responsibility."

Zheng Yunlai wanted to cry without tears, and said: "However, the villain can't guarantee that the Qing captives will take the bait" The revenge of killing his father has not yet disappeared, but he has to bow to the enemy, because the Zheng family still has fifty-seven people.

Liang Chengbao once killed people and was ambitious, his heart was like iron and stone, and the lives of dozens of people in the Zheng family were all in his thoughts.

"Go home and rest in peace and wait for news."

The soldiers took Zheng Yunlai down.

"Coming" Liang Chengbao pulled out an arrow, "Order the defenders of the four gates to collect all the houses within two hundred steps of the city gate and build defensive walls." ”

"Obedience"

The arrow was handed out, and Liang Chengbao's palm was still reminiscing about the cold touch of the iron arrow.

It felt very comfortable and worth savoring.

The highest military attache of the Ming army left in Xi'an was a general, and he was only a temporary appointment of General Qian. Zuo Ruo valued him, and he was entangled in his heart. That identity was like a chain around his neck.

"There is no need to think so much for the time being, as long as I hold Xi'an City, there will be a smooth road in front of me"

When he encountered strange and unpredictable times in his life, he followed King Chuang for seven or eight years, and rose from a pawn to a thousand guards, but he didn't expect his fortune to be after the age of forty.

Zuo Ruo's choice of Liang Chengbao as the guard is not a reckless move. The 3,000 Ming troops were stationed around the governor's palace in the center of Xi'an, and they conveyed orders to Liang Chengbao to control the soldiers and horses in the city.

There are nearly 30,000 righteous troops in Xi'an, most of whom were pulled by Liang Chengbao. Those righteous soldiers are cunning and good at fighting, and they don't know what military discipline is, and if they let their generals be in charge, they will definitely cause chaos.

Liang Chengbao is borrowing the momentum of the Ming army, and the Ming army is also borrowing Liang Chengbao's relationship.

The soldiers took the arrows and went to find the leader of the rebel army stationed at the four gates.

Liang Chengbao sat quietly for a while, and decided to go to the governor's palace to report on the layout of the city defense, and apply for some money, food and weapons.

He just walked out of the barracks, and a soldier ran panting on the opposite side, and when he saw him, he panicked and said: "My lord, something happened in Xicheng, and the nine-headed insect killed someone."

"What's going on?" Liang Chengbao frowned, "Why do you kill people again?" ”

After the rebels entered the city, there were indeed occasional murders in Xi'an, and the robbery of money and the rape of women were repeatedly prohibited. These people were all recruited by Liang Chengbao, and in order to defend the city, Liang Chengbao and the Ming army of the Governor's Mansion were all turning a blind eye.

This is the habit of Shaanxi thieves, and the same is true when they followed Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to the Central Plains.

The soldiers explained: "The lord ordered the four gates to drive the people within 200 steps of the city gate, but the people of the west gate did not obey, and the nine-headed insect ordered to forcibly drive away, and more than 40 people have been killed."

"More than forty people?" Liang Chengbao's face changed slightly. Hydra: Is this crazy?

"Take me to see it"

The group walked quickly to the west gate, where a row of corpses were piled up in the open space in front of the gate, including old men and children, men and women. A tall and thin man with a beard was scolding: "Lao Tzu has killed officers and soldiers, and he has also killed Jurchens, and these shit-like people have also resisted Lao Tzu." "That's the nine-headed insect, which is well-known in the Shaanxi Righteous Army

Liang Chengbao approached, and the nine-headed insect saw that he was just arching his hand.

The corpses in front of him were shocking, those dead corpses were dressed in luxurious clothes, and they were not ordinary people's families.

"It's not like words" Liang Chengbao was furious, when this is the place

"Why Kill?"

The arrogant feelings of the nine-headed insect were slightly restrained, and said: "These people don't listen to orders, they don't want to leave home, they are all willing to give their lives to the Tartars, and they don't kill the anger in their hearts."

Liang Chengbao used to be in the thief army, how could he not understand the ghostly tricks of these people. After Zuo Ruo Liwei, which family in Xi'an City dared to disobey the orders of the Ming army? There is no doubt that it must be the nine-headed insect greedy for money, killing people and robbing money through demolition.

With a gloomy face, "Cang Lang" pulled out the Qi knife at his waist and walked towards the barracks at the city gate. The nine-headed insect's face changed greatly, and when he saw Liang Chengbao's fierce eyes, he didn't dare to stop it.

Shaanxi thieves all have nicknames. Liang Chengbao was cautious in front of Zuo Ruo, but the rebels in Shaanxi knew his notoriety as a "fierce monk".

The group approached the big tent of the Chinese army in front and back, and a pile of silk and satin, wooden boxes and miscellaneous items that had just been looted were still piled up at the door of the big tent, and there were seven or eight soldiers guarding there.

Liang Chengbao walked slowly, picking up a piece of cloth with a long knife, and the blade reflected in the sunlight.

The nine-headed bird's face was a little unsightly.

Suddenly, Liang Chengbao turned his blade and slashed at the throat of the soldier on his right hand.

There was an exclamation, a wisp of blood, and a body fell on the debris.

The nine-headed bird exclaimed: "Monk Liang"

"Give Lao Tzu his mind to defend the city, if there is chaos in Xi'an City, none of you will survive" Liang Chengbao put away his knife, staring at the nine-headed bird angrily. He can be favored by Zuo Ruo as the guard of Xi'an City, of course, there are a few brushes.

"Obey" the nine-headed bird bowed its head.

When he left Xicheng, Liang Chengbao was heavy-hearted. He originally wanted to kill the nine-headed bird Liwei, but considering the feelings of the other rebels in the city, he changed his mind at the last minute. It was he who led those people into the city, if he didn't want to fall down at this critical moment, he could only replace the Ming law with the morality of the rivers and lakes at the moment.

The streets were deserted, and suddenly the heralds shouted: "The Qing soldiers have attacked the city"

Cannon fire was heard at the head of the southern wall.

"Come so fast" Liang Chengbao ordered his soldiers to go to the governor's palace to report the news, and he quickened his pace and walked towards Nancheng. The Azig army had not yet arrived, and it was Bamur who attacked the city first.

For seven days, he was going to use these rabble to hold the city of Xi'an for seven days.

He ascended to the top of the city. Under the city, the Qing soldiers pushed simple shield carts like snails.

He took out the clairvoyant mirror that Zuo Ruo gave him, and the Jurchen archers behind the shield cart were clearly displayed in front of him. Thousands of rebels appeared at the head of the city with wooden shields, these people were cruel and greedy, but they were all good hands on the battlefield.

The Jurchen cavalry galloped along the drab yellow earth.

The flags inlaid with the white flag and the blue flag are intertwined.

A month ago, the British king of the Great Qing Dynasty was still laughing at the Prince Yu of the Great Qing Dynasty.

One mother and three brothers, Dolgon took the initiative to crown Duoduo as Prince Yu. Azig led the army to chase and kill thousands of miles, and successively broke the main forces of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the two main forces of the Ming Dynasty, and cheekily asked for the crown prince, but was reprimanded by the imperial court.

This is a pain that Azig will never be able to erase.

Duoduo's army defeated Jiangnan, so that the Qing Dynasty fell into the quagmire step by step and could not extricate himself, and he was executed by Ling Chi in Yangzhou Mansion. Although Azig's heart hurts, there is always a little bit of happiness in the bottom corner of his heart that is difficult to erase.

He captured Hanzhong in the northwest and failed to enter Shu to kill Wu Sangui as he wished, but basically maintained the stability of the situation in the northwest. What is his credit for not being compared to Dordor ?

It wasn't until ten days ago that he heard about the fall of Xi'an.

Tomorrow you can reach the outside of Xi'an, which is impossible to lose

The war in Hanzhong is reported every day. The army was stationed to rest, and the messenger full of sweat came to the Chinese army, "Qi Yu Wangye, Wu Sangui's soldiers are out of the Sword Pavilion, and the battle in Hanzhong is very fierce"

Azig hastily read the emergency report and scolded: "Wu thief, wait until I solve Xi'an, and then see how rampant you are"

He suddenly realized that the Qing Dynasty was embattled in the northwest. The city of Xi'an is the focal point of the situation in the northwest.

The Hanzhong messenger left, and another messenger arrived.

The messenger came from the barracks of Bamur in Xi'an, and he first gave a brief oral account of the military situation: "Lord Qi, the army has attacked the city yesterday, shot and killed 1,000 Ming troops, and has an urgent military situation to report to the prince" and then submitted an urgent letter.

Azig took the urgent report and read it hastily, then read it carefully, frowned and muttered: "There is such a good thing? ”

If he had received this news two years ago, he would have no doubt that at that time, the squires from all over the Ming Dynasty would have played books like snow in the winter moon. But now, he has just suffered a big loss, and his mind is very cautious.

He put away the urgent report and ordered: "And order Bamur not to act rashly, and wait for me to make plans under the city of Xi'an."

"Obedience"

The messenger immediately returned the herald.

Azig took out Bamur's urgent report and played with it in his hand.

The squires in Xi'an took the initiative to surrender, suspicious but not entirely implausible. The walls of Xi'an are strong, and if you only rely on strong attacks, you don't know when you will be able to break through.
