Zheng Xunrui's prediction was good, and Lu Xiangsheng rushed to Liangshan the next day.

When the two met, the atmosphere was still good, Zheng Xunrui was not verbose, he and Lu Xiangsheng were already very familiar with each other, there was no need to say those polite words, and directly talked about the matter of exterminating the Liukou.

After learning about Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng's condition, Lu Xiangsheng's face showed a smile.

"In such a short period of time, the adult has almost exterminated the Liukou, Xiaguan really admires it, Xiaguan led the Tianxiong Army to encircle and suppress the Liukou this time, it is stained with the light of the adult."

"Lord Lu is serious, this matter of exterminating the Liukou is the responsibility of you and me, no matter who is responsible, it is the same, but I still have to remind Lord Lu that Sichuan and Huguang are connected, and the holy decree of the imperial court will soon be transmitted, Lord Lu is the governor of Huguang, once they enter Sichuan to exterminate the Liukou, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong will inevitably notice the land of Huguang, if they take this opportunity to flee to Huguang, it will be a little troublesome."

Zheng Xunrui was a kind reminder, and he also thought of Lu Xiangsheng's fame in history, so he didn't have any scruples, but what he didn't expect was that Lu Xiangsheng didn't care at all, and he was also a little dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will definitely completely exterminate the rogue."

Lu Xiangsheng's answer made Zheng Xunrui's heart sink, he faintly felt that history sometimes does not deceive people, why did Lu Xiangsheng in history, when resisting the Houjin Tartars, encountered the calculations of others, and led the five thousand sergeants, and finally the whole army was wiped out, and he was also killed by the Houjin Tartars, but Gao Qiqian, who was close at hand, did not move, just did not support.

In fact, the Donglin Party also has such a problem, Zheng Xunrui does not deny it. Among the Donglin Party members, there are many outstanding people, they are dedicated to the Ming Dynasty, selfless, and they are not keen on party struggle. However, a small number of outstanding Donglin Party members could not represent the entire Donglin Party, and the Donglin Party had declined.

Although Zheng Xunrui had a smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes.

"Lord Lu, maybe the official is talking too much, and the official is just a little worried. I would like to remind Lord Lu. ”

After the handover is completed, Zheng Xunrui should rush to the capital, and the future is uncertain.

Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong and others once persuaded Zheng Xunrui to go back to Xi'an Mansion to have a look, and they all knew it. After Wen Zhenheng became the governor of Shaanxi, the possibility of Zheng Xunrui staying in Xi'an disappeared completely, where to go, it is still unclear, the holy decree has already gone to Xi'an, I am afraid that at this time, Wen Manshan and others are also worried, fortunately, it is Wen Zhenheng who serves as the governor of Shaanxi. This made Wen Manshan and the others not too worried and embarrassed, and Zheng Xunrui returned to Xi'an Mansion at this time, which was able to comfort his family very well. Besides, Zheng Xunrui has been out for a long time, he left Xi'an in early February, and now it is the beginning of July, nearly half a year, and it is normal to go back and see.

Zheng Xunrui did not accept this Jianyì, on the contrary. He talked to Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong about his concerns.

"Mr. Xu, Zheng Jinhong. The Rogue will not be completely exterminated this time, and we have once again lost the opportunity to completely exterminate the Rogue Bandit. I don't know if this is providential. ”

Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong were extremely shocked when they heard this, and the two looked at Zheng Xunrui.

Xu Wanghua couldn't help but speak.

"Why do you have such an opinion, there are less than 2,000 rogues under Zhang Xianzhong, and there are less than 100 rogues under Li Zicheng, as long as Lord Lu can firmly hold Liangshan and Banzhou according to the previous deployment, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng will not be able to escape."

Zheng Xunrui sighed and spoke again.

"Lu Xiangsheng is too confident, he probably thinks that the Liukou is no longer afraid, if my prediction is good, after the Zheng family army leaves, Lu Xiangsheng will definitely adopt the tactics of strong attack, let the Tianxiong army enter the mountains, find and intend to annihilate Zhang Xianzhong."

Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong did not have surprised expressions on their faces.

Xu Wanghua also sighed and spoke.

"My lord, in fact, my subordinates also feel this, don't say Lord Lu, any lord of the imperial court, take over the matter of exterminating the Liukou, he will do this, Zhang Xianzhong has less than 2,000 people, and Li Zicheng has less than 100 people, in this case, it is not necessary to mobilize the army to defend the periphery, it is better to launch a large-scale attack and exterminate the Liukou in one fell swoop."

Zheng Jinhong, who rarely speaks, also spoke.

"Young master, my subordinates think that what Mr. Xu said is right, if he is a subordinate, he will not be in Kuizhou Mansion for such a long time, and he will attack Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, so he is indeed a little anxious, but his subordinates think that there will be no big problems."

Xu Wanghua nodded slightly, he agreed with Zheng Jinhong's opinion, even if he couldn't completely exterminate the Liukou, it was a big deal to adopt the original tactics and continue to wait on the periphery.

Zheng Xunrui looked at Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong and spoke.

"Hearing you say this, you may think that I am worried about nothing, 40,000 Zheng Jiajun and Yulin border army soldiers, entered the Kuizhou Mansion, and the rogue who had already been beaten was still breathing, and it was completely possible to attack on a large scale and completely exterminate the rogues, it is not uncommon to have such thoughts, but you can't underestimate Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong."

"The big waves are sweeping the sand, what is retained is the essence, so many years have passed, the thirteen rogues of the Xingyang Conference at the beginning, and now all that remains is Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the king of Shuntian is not worried, why Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have been able to persist until now, you think about it carefully, if they don't have extraordinary intelligence, can they persevere, Liangshan battle, Zhang Xianzhong can abandon the eight thousand liukou, protect himself, did he really not think clearly, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong will make peace, under such a bad situation, can break through, can you do it without the ability? ”

Zheng Xunrui's words made Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong silent and lowered their heads.

"Not to mention anything else, the trick of losing the car to protect the handsome, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are perfect, Lu Xiangsheng is attacking the Liukou on a large scale, and there needs to be enough guarantee in terms of troops, but the Tianxiong army that can enter Kuizhou with him is less than 5,000 people, relying on these people, it is impossible to enter the mountains to completely exterminate Zhang Xianzhong, then Lu Xiangsheng must dispatch the white pole soldiers and the army of the Sichuan Guard, so that the white pole soldiers stationed in Banzhou will inevitably be transferred in large numbers."

"As for Li Zicheng in Banzhou, there are less than 100 people under his command, and Lu Xiangsheng won't care, just leave a small number of white pole soldiers to exterminate, he thinks that Li Zicheng has lost the ability to resist."

"Lu Xiangsheng's prediction is not wrong, at this time, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng have no ability to attack, and all they think about is how to leave Sichuan and how to return to the north."

When Zheng Xunrui said this, Xu Wanghua's face had changed, and he raised his head and spoke.

"My lord, if there is such a situation, it will be really troublesome, if Lord Lu leads the army into the mountains to encircle and suppress, Zhang Xianzhong will inevitably seize the opportunity to escape, Wanxian Kuizhou Mansion, there are not many soldiers stationed, Zhang Xianzhong can easily leave Sichuan, enter the territory of Huguang, Li Zicheng is the same, Banzhou's white pole soldiers have been transferred, those Tusi will not try their best to exterminate the Liukou, Li Zicheng left Banzhou, they can't ask for it, and even will turn a blind eye, Gift Li Zicheng left. ”

"Mr. Xu is right, what I'm worried about is that once Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng leave Sichuan and enter the territory of Huguang, then the battle to exterminate the Liukou will be in vain."

"My subordinates think that my lord can tell Lord Lu what is at stake."

Zheng Xunrui shook his head again.

"I have already said just now, Lu Xiangsheng is too confident, there is nothing wrong with self-confidence, but too much self-confidence, that is conceited, in this case, I have reminded again and again, I am afraid that it will hurt Lu Xiangsheng's self-esteem, the holy decree of the court has come down, and it is already Lu Xiangsheng who is responsible for exterminating the rogue, if I interfere too much, it is unreasonable to be reasonable, and now, I can only think that this is the will of God."

On 12 July, nearly 40,000 soldiers of the Zheng Jiajun and the Yulin Border Army set out from Liangshan Wanxian and Kuizhou Fucheng at the same time, and Yang He and Liu Zeqing had already rushed to Kuizhou and Wanxian to command the army to go towards Huguang, and the 40,000 troops would enter Henan from Huguang and enter Beizhili through Shandong.

The route of the march has been arranged, as for the specific combat deployment, it is still impossible to determine, Zheng Xunrui does not know the situation of Houjin Tartar, so he cannot determine the specific combat plan.

Zheng Xunrui left from Liangshan, and was followed by Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong, Wang Yuncheng and Ma Xianglin.

Lu Xiangsheng saw him off.

Zheng Jiajun left Liangshan by boat, which was the fastest.

Lu Xiangsheng had a confident smile on his face, Xu Wanghua and the others saw it, and they felt more and more that Zheng Xunrui's worries were valid, and the matter of exterminating the Liukou was not over, as for how it would develop in the future, only God knows.

Zheng Xunrui had a smile on his face, and he talked with Lu Xiangsheng very cordially, without mentioning the matter of exterminating the rogues, and Lu Xiangsheng seemed to be avoiding it, unwilling to mention this matter.

The wooden boat had already left far away, and Lu Xiangsheng was still standing at the dock and did not leave.

It wasn't until Lu Xiangsheng couldn't see that Zheng Xunrui returned to the cabin.

"Mr. Xu, Zheng Jinhong, from this moment on, we need to pay attention to the affairs of Gyeonggi, pay attention to how to fight with the Houjin Tartars, don't think about other things, the courage of the Houjin Tartars, you are clear, the next Zheng Jiajun will encounter a real vicious battle, this is the time to test the Zheng Jiajun, our deployment must be particularly careful, the first battle is the most critical, only victory can not fail, only in this way, we can establish real self-confidence, calmly face the Houjin Tartar."
