Chapter 121: This is a brilliant persistence
[Thanks; Rosewood and blood-stained blue sky reward! 】
Liu Zongmin also knew that Hao Shaoqi must have exaggerated, but he didn't need to ask him to understand that Hao Shaoqi was defeated by Zhou Yuji's cavalry, which should be true.
Chuang Wang Li Zicheng, no, it should be Xinshun King Li Zicheng has been defeated many times, and there are even only a dozen people left at the worst time, but now he still stands up again, and he has an army of millions. Zhou Yuji is nothing, it can only be said that Hao Shaoqi is incompetent, and now he has millions of troops, as long as the army is dispatched, a small Shanxi general soldier Zhou Yuji will definitely be crushed by the army.
Liu Zongmin decided that he would continue to attack, of course, this time he should be more cautious.
Since it was Zhou Yuji who was defending, Liu Zongmin began to pay attention to it. After a two-day delay, dozens of large cars were built, and dozens of small artillery pieces captured in Shaanzhou were placed on the cars, and Liu Zongmin led the team to set off.
Huozhou is still more than 50 miles away from Lingshi County, this more than 50 miles Liu Zongmin's army walked for two days, when Liu Zongmin's army came to Lingshi territory, came to the front of Gaobi Ridge, except for the corpses of their own soldiers who were bitten by wild beasts along the road, they did not find a Ming army.
Zhou Huchen withdrew, this retreat was more than 200 miles, and behind him, there were many old acquaintances, those businessmen from Shanxi and their families. As for the people who fled, Zhou Huchen was also very helpless, because there were too many people and he couldn't take care of them at all.
On December 28 of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhou Huchen entered the city of Taiyuan.
Although Zhou Yuji supported him, Cai Maode was already anxious, and the soldiers were in danger, he not only had the responsibility to defend the land, but also considered the people. After Li Zicheng's army took Pingyang, the fleeing people continued to gather in Taiyuan Mansion, and Cai Maode also understood that Taiyuan Mansion was already very dangerous, and the threat of Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops had made him a little dispossessed.
Zhou Yuji is now running before and after arranging defenses all day long, and when he can't see Zhou Yuji's face, Cai Maode can't calm down.
Now, Zhou Huchen is here, and Cai Maode doesn't care about the difference between the top and bottom, he is respectful and orderly, he runs directly to his yamen and waits for Zhou Huchen.
Soon, seeing Zhou Huchen coming, Cai Maode went out of the gate, grabbed Zhou Huchen and asked: "Xiaohu hurry up and tell me, how is the war in the south, where are the thieves now?" ”
"Boss, let's go inside and say, this is a military plane?"
"Yes, yes, this is a military plane that cannot be leaked, we said inside." Cai Maode reacted, and he finally let go of his hand.
The two of them walked through the two halls one after the other, entered Cai Maode's back hall living room, and even the tea was exempted, and sent people away, Cai Maode asked anxiously: "Hurry up, Xiaohu don't sell Guanzi, this is all burning eyebrows"
"Report to the boss that Xiaohu has won the vanguard of a thief in the south of Lingshi County."
"Yes, yes! Xiaohu is really a strong general, how is the thief now? Cai Maode was satisfied with the victory in the first fight, and he nodded and continued to ask.
Zhou Hucheng's face became solemn: "Let's tell you the truth, boss, the vanguard who defeated the thieves only stopped it, and now it is estimated that the army of the thieves should have taken Lingshi County." ”
"Didn't you fortify Lingshi County?" Cai Maode was full of anxiety:
"Where can the spirit stone be guarded, my lord, that's the place of death! There are hills everywhere, and there are mountain paths everywhere that can be crossed. Li Zicheng's army is six or seven hundred thousand people, once it is surrounded in the small Lingshi County, it is equivalent to sending his soldiers to death! ”
Zhou Huchen now needs to exaggerate, not to exaggerate himself, but to exaggerate the number and combat effectiveness of Li Zicheng's army.
Cai Maode's eyes widened: "But if you lose Lingshi County, below you are Jiexiu, Pingyao, Qi County and Qingyuan, the thieves will soon come to Taiyuan City, this Taiyuan has no precipitous places around except this city, how can you hold it!" ”
Zhou Huchen smiled secretly, what he needed was for Cai Maode to say it himself, so that he could understand that this Taiyuan Mansion really couldn't hold it.
However, giving up Taiyuan, this can't be said by Zhou Huchen, this old man Cai is an unyielding figure who would rather die, once he finds out that he is secretly playing ghosts. Zhou Huchen was harmed
Afraid, afraid that this stubborn old man would die in front of him.
In order to deepen the impression of this stubborn old man, Zhou Huchen continued to lure: "The boss is reasonable, you have repeatedly led troops to the battle, and there is naturally no problem with your vision. However, we must fight with Li Zicheng's thief army to the end, no matter what, we must protect the territory and the people, it is really not possible, we still have the Inner Great Wall, and Yanmen Pass, and we will never let Li Zicheng pass. ”
Cai Maode was very excited: "Xiaohu father and son are worthy of being my loyal ministers and good generals of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what, we can't lose Taiyuan Mansion, how can the land of the imperial court be lost, the old man as a province of feudal territory, decided to defend Taiyuan, and swore to live and die with Taiyuan Mansion!" ”
It's over, the lure fails. The track of history is still like this, it has not changed, this old man is iron-hearted, and he still wants to die here.
This boring spirit of sacrifice must be corrected, and Zhou Huchen continued to lure: "Boss, if we lose Taiyuan, we still have the Inner Great Wall, and we still have a chance!" How can you easily abandon your life and stay in the green mountains, not afraid of running out of firewood? We still have a chance to repel Li Zicheng's thief army! ”
"Doesn't Xiaohu know that if Taiyuan is lost, the thief army will drive straight into Ningwu and Yanmen. As long as one place is lost, they will attack Datong, and they will also cross Daiju and Wutai Mountain along the Determination Basin, and they can drive the land of Gyeonggi to the east. If this is the case, I, Cai Maode, am a sinner through the ages, what is the army near Jingshi like, and what is the combat power, doesn't Xiaohu know?!!! ”
This time, Cai Maode waved his arms excitedly, and his eyes shimmered.
After Cai Maode finished speaking, Zhou Huchen broke out in a cold sweat.
Cai Maode is not simply stubborn, but he can't bear what Qianfu pointed out, and the patches of history will put him in a shameful position, and he can't bear it. As a province of feudal territory, people like Cai Maode and Zhou Yuji will be loyal to this country until death, and if the enemy wants to pass, they have to step on their corpses, how can people like them survive.
What a brilliant insistence this is, Zhou Huchen has nothing to say, let alone criticize.
Do you want to change your established tactics, use all Liliang to block Li Zicheng, and let this Chongzhen Dynasty continue?
Zhou Huchen raised his head, Emperor Chongzhen can be said to have been good to Zhou Yuji, trusting and taking care of him, and he is definitely one of the few generals. However, what can he do to defeat Li Zicheng, and how many of these soldiers are left that he has worked so hard to train. Zhou Huchen has no confidence to influence the future trend of history, and this Chongzhen Emperor is completely uncontrollable. It is the father and son who are victorious, they must continue to work for Emperor Chongzhen, and they must also solve the powerful Jiannu.
Zhou Huchen is not afraid to continue to fight for this country, but after he can, where will the food come from? Where do the soldiers come from? Will Emperor Chongzhen make his father and son so strong? How can the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty let themselves do as they please, those intrigues are really boring!
Zhou Huchen thinks that he is absolutely patriotic, but as for Zhongjun, it is a matter of fooling others, a kind of fooling method created by literati, and Zhou Huchen thinks that he does not have that kind of consciousness.
Where do you go from here? The irritability made Zhou Huchen can't help but hug his head fiercely.
