********************************************************************

The next day, Hu Yansan and Wang Yuncheng fought again outside Yuanzhou City, each with losses and no winners or losers.

Qin Mu sat and watched the city, without the slightest intention of fighting.

By the afternoon, hearing that Lu Daqi's 80,000-strong army was about to arrive, Hu Yansan retreated.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong's 200,000 troops had also reached Xintian Town in the west of Yuanzhou, which was only about 70 miles away from Yuanzhou. Wang Yuncheng didn't dare to pursue, and watched Hu Yansan retreat.

Zhang Xianzhong and Lu Daqi totaled nearly 300,000 troops, Yuanzhou is about to become the focus of contention between the two sides, can yujian, Yuanzhou will soon be near the corpses like a mountain, blood flows like a river, the atmosphere of the battle in the city is getting stronger and stronger, just like a dense cloud hanging over the head, making people feel breathless;

Even Qin Mu couldn't be more relaxed, he was now sitting on a powder keg, go, he had to leave as soon as possible, otherwise once the two armies of Zhang and Lu gathered under Yuanzhou City, they couldn't leave if they wanted to, Qin Mu was not arrogant enough to fight in and out of hundreds of thousands of troops with 1,200 men and horses.

He took advantage of Hu Yansan's retreat and Wang Yuncheng was busy licking his wounds, and led 1,200 men and horses to quickly withdraw from Yuanzhou City.

The "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" posted by Qin Mu's people can be seen everywhere in the city, but these are just jokes for Wang Yuncheng, and Yuanzhou City, which has just enjoyed a few days of peace, has once again fallen into hell on earth. The cries of the people were heard in the wind

Less than half an hour after Wang Yuncheng entered Yuanzhou City, Lu Daqi's nearly 90,000 troops arrived, and the front team of the huge army formation was not seen in the rear, stretching for twenty miles, and the flag covered the sky and the sun.

However, the arrival of Lü Daqi did not make the people in Yuanzhou City better, nominally Lü Daqi, as the governor of the four provinces, was the commander of this army, but in fact only listened to him with 9,000 people under Xu Kaijin, the general commander of Jiangxi, and 80,000 subordinates of Zuo Liangyu. is under the command of Zuo Liangyu's deputy general Wu Xueli, Lu Daqi is at best the nanny of the 80,000 army, and he will look for you when he wants to eat and drink, and as for the rest, you don't have a damn wordiness.

The 80,000 army came all the way south, looting along the way, and Lu Daqi couldn't restrain it at all, how could he control the life and death of the people of Yuanzhou at this time.

Previously, Guo Duxian, the governor of Jiangxi, saw that Wu Xueli's department was promiscuous and plundering, and Jiangxi was plagued by mourning. The crying was all over the road, and he had passed the message several times, ordering Wu Xueli to return to Jiujiang, planning to recruit soldiers to fight against Zhang Xianzhong;

Lu Daqi was worried that the newly recruited soldiers would not be of great use. Unable to hold Jiangxi, he still took Wu Xueli's department south, Guo Duxian saw that hundreds of people in Jiangxi were harmed, and his own opinions were not adopted. He angrily resigned from his official position and went into seclusion in Lushan.

Lu Daqi led the army to Xinyu (Xinyu City) in the east of Yuanzhou, only to hear that Qin Mu of Huichangzhi County actually had 2,000 Ganzhou soldiers. completely annihilated Zhang Qi's 20,000 rebels and recaptured Yuanzhou, the gateway to the right side of the river, which made him extremely complicated.

At this moment, before the army entered the city, Lu Daqi discussed the matter of Qin Mu with his staff Zhang Zai in the car, he stroked his beard and sighed: "Those rumors about Ganzhou do not seem to be groundless, Qin Mu has made great achievements, but he is a small county magistrate, and he can mobilize Ganzhou soldiers and horses, which is unusual in itself." ”

Zhang Zaizi Zicheng, a scribe in his forties, thin and clear-faced, as Lu Daqi's staff, he knows very well how heavy pressure Lu Daqi is under, Chongzhen is a stubborn person, and there are many ministers who have died in Chongzhen's hands;

Lu Daqi is also the governor of the four provinces, the prime minister of the Jiangnan war, the authority is very great, but the responsibility is also very heavy, but there is no available soldier in hand, and he has to rely on Zuo Liangyu, once the war is unfavorable, Chongzhen has no way to take Zuo Liangyu, but killing Lu Daqi is just a matter of an edict, it can be said that Lu Daqi has been pinned to the waistband of his trousers since he became the governor.

"Supervisor, no matter whether Qin Mu really supports the army and is self-respecting, but he previously quelled the rebellion in southern Jiangnan, and now he has recaptured the right gate of the river, and it is always a fact that 20,000 thieves are annihilated. Supervisor, the most important thing at hand is to keep Jiangxi and recapture Huguang, and other matters can be discussed later, otherwise the supervisor may have to follow in the footsteps of Yang Sichang, Hou Xun and others! ”

Yang Sichang committed suicide because of the failure of the encirclement and suppression of Zhang Xianzhong, Hou Sui was released from prison last year because of his kindness to Zuo Liangyu, and was used as a supervisor, but Zuo Liangyu was defeated in Zhuxian Town, and Hou Sui was imprisoned again immediately afterwards;

Because the superintendent was convicted of the defeat, there are far more than these two people, if you want to list them, you can also make a large list, to be honest, there are few ministers in the Chongzhen Dynasty who are involved in military affairs can get a good death.

Now that the country is becoming more and more difficult, Lu Daqi, the governor of the four provinces, is like a big knife hanging over his head, and he asked Zhang Zaidao with a frown: "What is your good plan?" ”

Zhang Zai replied: "Although Qin Mu only has 2,000 soldiers and horses, but he can easily annihilate Zhang Qi's 20,000 forward army, just with this kind of record, the supervisor can not wait to ignore it, he has the army or self-respect, or has different aspirations, as long as he does not pull the flag and rebel, the supervisor might as well bring him over first, for my use, and besides, let him and Zhang Xianzhong consume each other, but also take the opportunity to weaken him, and it will be much easier for the supervisor to ask for guilt in the future." ”

"Qin Mu has only been in Huichang for a few months, and he can take charge of the soldiers and horses of Ganzhou, and he must not be an idle person, and now that we have just arrived, he immediately withdrew from Yuanzhou to avoid going to Wanyuan, which is clearly wary of us, and wants him and Zhang Xianzhong to consume each other, but I am afraid of difficulties."

"This is not necessarily, the superintendent, please think about it, Qin Mu did not get the appointment of the imperial court, but he took the initiative to lead the army to come away, break Zhang Qi, and recapture Yuanzhou City, there must be another reason for him to do this."

"What is the reason for the sub-confession?"

"Supervisor, in the humble opinion, Qin Mu took the initiative to wave his army to fight the thief, it is very likely that he wants to get the title of the imperial court, after all, he is a small magistrate, he has no right to govern the army, he wants to support the army and respect himself, after all, it is not right, as long as the supervisor does what he likes, it must not be difficult to temporarily encircle him."

Lu Daqi couldn't help but lightly chin his head, he heard what Zhang Zai meant, if he can be an official now, he will be able to win an official in the future, the so-called temporary envelopment is to give Qin Mu Xu Guan first, let him and Zhang Xianzhong fight hard, and when Qin Mu and Zhang Xianzhong are almost done, then they will find a random reason to ask for the guilt, so as not to leave trouble.

"Okay, just give it a try according to what Zicheng said, Zhang Xianzhong's army is about to arrive, this matter should not be delayed, so please ask Zicheng to go in person."

"If you are humble, you should not fail in your mission." Zhang Zai gave a salute, got out of the car and hurried north with more than a dozen guards.

After Qin Mu withdrew from Yuanzhou, he did not immediately go to Wanzai, but stationed Yuchun Mountain twenty miles north of the city, Wanzai is seventy miles away from Yuanzhou, a little farther, although it is said that a long line is used to catch big fish, but this line is too long, it is inevitable that there is less immersive fun, Yuchun Mountain is just right, of course, if you find that the situation is not right, you can also retreat further, anyway, in terms of the ability to run, others can't catch up with him.

After setting up camp in Yuchun Mountain, Qin Mu was about to send someone to report his merits to Lu Daqi and ask for a reward, but the messenger who didn't want Lu Daqi to chase after him first.

Zhang Zai took twelve guards to hurry up, chased all the way to the foot of Yuchun Mountain, was stopped by the police post and brought up the mountain, he was extremely concerned about Qin Mu, an army that could annihilate 20,000 with 2,000, from the outpost to the military appearance in the camp. Looking at it all the way, I can't help but feel awe-inspired.

The army in the Qin Mu camp is strictly organized, even in this case, it is still diligent in training, and the battalion is full of killings, and the soldiers are like wolves and tigers, extremely fierce, but they are forbidden and forbidden, as if they are one.

He came all the way south with the army, and was accustomed to seeing Zuo Liangyu's bandit soldiers, stealing and playing tricks during training, drinking and making trouble when he was free, gambling and playing prostitutes, and there were many things, scrambling to be the first to rob, fierce as bandits, and there was no military discipline at all.

The comparison between the two can be described as a judgment like mud, Zhang Zai saw it in his eyes, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, no wonder Qin Mu was able to annihilate Zhang Qi's 20,000 rebels with 2,000 men and horses!

When Zhang Zai was brought into the big tent of the Chinese army, he couldn't help but be stunned, only to see a young man sitting in the back of the small group, dressed in a Confucian shirt, handsome and elegant, and a giant sword on the small table in front of him, he was carefully wiping it with white silk, and his expression was leisurely.

If he didn't see it in person, he really couldn't believe that this was Qin Mu who broke Zhang Qi and recaptured Yuanzhou, this is obviously a son and brother who is red and green on the banks of the Qinhuai River.
