Chapter 42: Fight a Battle
Facing Zhang Biwu's kind words and reminders, "Hmph! Princess Kunxing didn't think so, she was very stubborn, even if Zhang Biwu said good words, she wouldn't listen, she said: "No! Father loves me so much! Whatever I make! My father won't blame me, and he won't blame me! Hum! I don't need any of that! β
"Princess! Listen to me! Words are happy axes, you still have to say good things to the emperor! Although the emperor did not punish last time, it is difficult to say this time! Princess! "Zhang Biwu is also good for Princess Kunxing, but Princess Kunxing doesn't listen to him at all, and still does her own thing.
Zhang Biwu felt helpless, the princess is this character, and no one will listen to what she believes, even if it is right. He can only be manipulated by the princess.
At this moment, there was a report that Hou Sui came, and Hou Sui must have received the news that Zhang Biwu was back, so he came.
Zhang Biwu hurriedly greeted Hou Sui, who was the top boss. As soon as Hou Sui came in, he first met the princess, and then asked Zhang Biwu if the matter was done and whether Zhang Biwu's son was very good.
Zhang Biwu replied one by one, but Princess Kunxing's face was very ugly! Because she felt that Zhang Biwu might be thinking about his wife in his heart, instead of thinking about her, it was really annoying! Annoyed and annoyed, she just likes Zhang Biwu!
Seeing this, Hou Sui didn't think he was laughing, Zhang Biwu, think about it, the blessings of Qi people are not easy to enjoy.
Hou Sui coughed a few times and said, "General Guoxiong, now that the princess has come in person, we must win a battle!" And I have to let the people in the city know that Princess Ludao is here, and the emperor wants to save Kaifeng! Be sure to let the righteous men in the city be loyal to the king, thieves can't be rampant for long! So you go ahead and fight a victory against Li Zicheng! β
"What?" Zhang Biwu was shocked! Let him fight Li Zicheng? As soon as he looked at Hou Sui, he completely understood that Hou Sui was urged by Chongzhen to fail, and now that Princess Kunxing has arrived, Hou Sui will not be able to fight again! But if Hou Sui is defeated under his command, he will be responsible, and as for letting Zhang Biwu fight, if he is defeated, it is none of his business.
In fact, Zhang Biwu still doesn't understand, Zhou Shixian's father Zhou Guofu and Hou Sui are friends, and he gave Hou Sui a letter, which means that Hou Sui let Zhang Biwu go to war, Zhang Biwu is only 4,000 people, let him fight Li Zicheng, he will definitely lose.
As soon as Zhang Biwu was defeated, the princess's face was gloomy, and the emperor would be angry, even if he was not guilty, but the official in the court had already impeached Zhang Biwu for leaving his post without permission, and now he is defeated again, then his life will be better.
At the beginning, Hou Sui once forced the people to ask them to sneak into Kaifeng City, telling the people in Kaifeng City that they would soon be able to defeat Li Zicheng and relieve the siege of Kaifeng.
However, none of the people sent to Kaifeng City succeeded in sneaking into Kaifeng City, and they were all captured by Li Zicheng's rebels. Li Zicheng chopped off one of their hands or feet, and then let them go, so as to deter Hou Sui.
But these people were arrested by Hou Sui because of their families, and they would rather die themselves, but they have to do it! Otherwise, their families will all die!
So when these people with missing arms and feet dragged their crippled bodies and tried to sneak into Kaifeng City and were caught by Li Zicheng again, Li Zicheng ordered them all to be killed.
Hou Sui clearly wants to send people into Kaifeng City, how easy is it? It's just too hard! And it is even more difficult for Zhang Biwu to win a battle! It's an almost impossible task. But he had to do these hard things!
Hou Sui then turned to Princess Kunxing and said, "Your Royal Highness, for the sake of your beauty, the heroic soldiers should add to your beauty with a victory!" β
Princess Kunxing is really naΓ―ve! Don't understand anything! A little girl is a little girl. She clapped her little hands and exclaimed excitedly, "Okay! Zhang Biwu, fight a winning battle, so that the father will be happy! Be happy! Ha Lu Ha! You have to win! β
"This ......" Zhang Biwu was embarrassed, how could he fight? Crossing the river, with his little men, if he loses, the capital will be gone! He's got a headache! Embarrassed! O princess! You're just in trouble!
Hou Sui smiled and said, "Ha Lu Ha! Guoxiong, you just listen to the princess and get ready to win a battle for the princess and the emperor! Ha Lu Ha! Of course, Hou Sui was happy from the bottom of his heart, he smiled sinisterly, looking at Zhang Biwu's bitter gourd face, he was proud.
After Hou Sui finished speaking, he walked with cheerful steps, he was relaxed, but Zhang Biwu was difficult.
Princess Kunxing saw Zhang Biwu's embarrassed expression, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?" Is it so difficult for you to do a little thing for a beautiful princess? You're too much! Hum! I'm angry! I ignore me, I want you to win the battle, you just said to Governor Hou, you must win! Hum! Face! Face! I can't lose face! You must win! β
Princess Kunxing almost screamed out hysterically, which is different from her usual, maybe this is the true side of Princess Kunxing! Zhang Biwu suddenly felt that Princess Kunxing really made him annoying! But what can be done?
After Zhang Biwu accompanied the princess for a while, he went to discuss with his generals and staff how to win the battle.
Zhang Biwu received the news that Li Zicheng had strengthened patrols along the coast, and he was on guard against Zhang Biwu leading the army to attack.
And everything confirmed that Li Zicheng did know the news that Princess Kunxing had come to the army, and his garrison was increasing, so that Zhang Biwu was invincible.
Luo Rucai's side can be tried! After all, Luo Rucai's military records are much worse than Li Zicheng's side, and it would be a good thing if he could defeat Luo Rucai.
Xuan Jianhao, Han Runchang and others all think that it would be best to attack Luo Rucai now, and they will fight Luo Rucai in the future, and now they will continue to fight with Luo Rucai, and they will not be afraid of Luo Rucai.
Zhang Biwu knew that Cao Cao was insidious, and this person had to be guarded against, but Luo Rucai thought that Li Zicheng would clean him up!
Li Zicheng knew that Princess Kunxing had arrived, so Luo Rucai naturally knew that Princess Kunxing had arrived, and it was impossible for Li and Luo not to take precautions, which added difficulty to this battle.
No matter how difficult it is, this battle must be fought, as long as it is a small victory, it will be a good deal! Zhang Biwu secretly made arrangements with everyone, of course, he also had to beware of Luo Rucai, so as not to fall into a bitter battle and suffer unnecessary losses.
At this moment, Xuan Jianhao and Zhang Biwu were secretly planning, including Han Runchang and Lin Xiangfeng, they were constantly nodding, because they were planning an intact strategy, not only could they successfully survive the hundreds of thousands of troops of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, but also allowed Lin Xiangfeng to retreat to Kaifeng City and enter Kaifeng City.
Zhang Biwu led the army to suddenly storm Luo Rucai's army, and for a while, Luo Rucai's army was vulnerable and quickly retreated.
When Huang Qi saw this, he was very happy and said, "Ha Luha! Biwu, let's pursue! Zhang Biwu shook his head and said, "No need to pursue!" Now we'll go back immediately! β
Just when Zhang Biwu wanted to make the whole army retreat, Luo Rucai's men and horses gathered, it turned out that Luo Rucai already knew that Zhang Biwu would definitely pick him to attack, so Luo Rucai ambushed a lot of people and horses, and all of them surrounded him at once, and it could be seen that there were 50,000 people selected by Luo Rucai!
At this time, Zhang Biwu only led 2,000 people, and they were attacked by 50,000 people who suddenly came out of Luo Rucai, and their defeat was inevitable.
On the north bank of the Yellow River, Hou Sui invited Princess Kunxing and others to watch the battle, he saw Zhang Biwu was surrounded by the Cao army that suddenly gathered, he knew that Zhang Biwu was dead this time, Zhang Biwu died, and the 2,000 people he left behind could be used by Hou Sui.
Even if Zhang Biwu was lucky and desperately broke through, he suffered a defeat and his morale was defeated, and Hou Sui could put all the responsibility on Zhang Biwu! Especially if she failed in front of the princess and the eunuch Jin Gonggong of the Emperor's Qin faction, it would be even more unforgivable.
Princess Kunxing also seemed to see something wrong, she knew that Zhang Biwu was besieged layer by layer, and his situation was very critical.
Princess Kunxing said: "Will Zhang Biwu ......" Hou Sui smiled and said, "Princess, it's safe!" Ann! Guoxiong is a famous general in the world! The thieves are far inferior to the Qing army, he can come and go in conflict with the Qing army, let alone these thieves? β
When Hou Sui said this, Princess Kunxing was relieved. It's just that Gonggong Jin glanced at Hou Sui with disdain, and he knew Hou Sui's full plan.
The situation on Zhang Biwu's side is not optimistic, Huang Qi looked at Zhang Biwu and asked urgently: "What should I do?" Zhang Biwu didn't make a sound, he looked at the enemy army, it was really difficult to break through. Zhang Biwu said: "Can our plan be successful? Can you bet on success? β
Huang Qi was puzzled when he heard it: "Bet? Can the plan be successful? What kind of medicine is sold in Zhang Biwu's gourd? β
At this moment, Luo Rucai appeared, and under the escort of a large group of pro-generals, Luo Rucai smiled at Zhang Biwu and said, "General Guoxiong! I know that you are a famous general of the generation who resisted the Qing army! Although I have been defeated by you many times when I was in Huguang before, I, Cao Cao, am a broad-minded person! Then I'll let you go today! Be careful! I don't know if the Generalissimo will destroy you! You had to go out to win because you were persecuted, and I have already given you a small victory! You're in for a deal! All right! Let's go! β
Luo Rucai's words shocked Zhang Biwu's generals, how could they not have imagined that Luo Rucai would actually let them go? If Li Zicheng let them go, it would not be surprising, how could Luo Rucai let them go? Luo Rucai should know that Li Zicheng wants to win over Zhang Biwu, and he wants to get rid of Zhang Biwu!
Luo Rucai said loudly: "Don't think that Brother Li is benevolent, although my Cao Cao's name is Cao Cao, my heart is like Liu Bei, like Guan Yunchang!" β
Zhang Biwu's soldiers are waiting for Zhang Biwu's decision, whether Luo Rucai can be trusted.
