It doesn't matter whether Li Yulong mistakes the country or not, the important thing is that the 10,000 new troops led by Li Yulong have been defeated, although Liu Zheng of Xinganzhi County has gathered 3,000 defeated troops, but these 3,000 men and horses have become frightened birds, I am afraid that if I see the thief now, I will have to turn around and run away, and there is no combat effectiveness at all.

Liu Zongxiang's angry hair and beard turned a lot whiter overnight, and he called Zhu Zhichen and Lin Zhen to discuss countermeasures.

"Two, Li Yulong's soldiers were defeated and died, and he died in that fight, but he buried my newly formed army of 10,000 people, and now Liu Zheng of Xingan Zhixian County sent a letter, saying that the thieves will attack the city soon, and he only has 3,000 defeated soldiers in Xingan, and the 3,000 new army is afraid of the thieves, and he is afraid that he can't defend the city, what should the two of them do?"

Lin Zhen slapped the table hard when he heard this, and scolded loudly: "Damn Li Yulong, this fight is not shallow, Lord Futai, his subordinates suggest that this thief's family should be arrested and imprisoned immediately, and his whole family will be beheaded!" ”

Liu Zongxiang nodded deeply when he heard this, Li Yulong died when he died, but because of his fault, the 10,000-strong army of the imperial court was destroyed, and he couldn't die alone, he had to have a family member to bear this responsibility.

Of course, there is a reason why Lin Zhen is so angry, but Li Yulong, who he recommended, led his troops south, and now Li Yulong is defeated and killed, and he, the person who recommended him, is also jointly and severally responsible, so Lin Zhen is so angry, and wants to destroy Li Yulong.

"Well, I will immediately go to Your Majesty, arrest and put the three clans in his family in prison, please kill him!" Liu Zongxiang agreed with Lin Zhen's opinion.

Li Yulong is the commander of Jiangxi, and he is a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and it is not up to him as a governor to decide whether an official at this level will copy his entire family and exterminate the clan, and he must play the emperor and let the emperor make an order.

The defeat has been fought, and now someone must take the blame, otherwise the emperor will ask him, the governor of Jiangxi.

Liu Zongxiang felt that his plan was perfect, and the reason why the 10,000-strong army would be buried was clearly the problem of Li Yulong, a second-grade general, if he hadn't advanced lightly, how could he have suffered such a fiasco, leading to the destruction of the new army of the imperial court.

Therefore, Li Yulong's house must be raided, and his three clans must die!

Raiding the family and exterminating the clan is not a big deal, how to block the anti-thief army at the moment is a big deal, 10,000 new troops have been defeated, and then the anti-thieves have to enter Xingan County, once Xingan is broken, the anti-thief army will be directed at Qingjiang.

Once Qingjiang is taken, the thief to the east will directly threaten the safety of the provincial capital Nanchang, and no one here wants to see this situation.

After Liu Zongxiang finished speaking, he looked at the two of them again, and he asked: "Two, Li Yulong deserves to die, but can the two of them have a good plan for the war in Jiangxi and China right now?" ”

Zhu Zhichen and Lin Zhen couldn't help but be silent when they heard this.

After a while, Zhu Zhichen said: "Lord Futai, we have no troops available at the moment, and we want to exterminate the Mo thief, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless you send reinforcements from other provinces!" Lin Zhen said first.

When Liu Zongxiang heard this again, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he said: "Where should I ask for troops?" ”

Lin Zhen stood up and said: "There are many strong men in Zhejiang, when General Qi Jiguang's Zhejiang soldiers were invincible, the people of Zhejiang were fierce, and the Zhejiang soldiers were advanced, when General Qi was transferred to the northern line, the combat effectiveness of the border soldiers was low, General Qi played the imperial court, recruited 3,000 Zhejiang recruits, and within a year, these 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers were invincible.

Lord Futai can play His Majesty, ask the Zhejiang soldiers to enter Jiangxi to fight, and then write a letter, send a person who can speak the Tao to Hangzhou, to see the governor of Zhejiang Yu Sixun, Zhejiang is now no war, and there is no rogue, Lord Yu Sixun borrowed 10,000 elite soldiers, and when the time comes, exterminate the Mo thief, this credit also has a share of his Yu Siqing.

Moreover, the adults can go to Huguang to borrow 10,000 soldiers, Huguang has many righteous soldiers, the people are strong, and the army of Huguang is not bad, so the adults can write a letter to find Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, to borrow 10,000 soldiers.

These 10,000 soldiers and horses do not have to come to the Xingan front, only need to send a general to lead the troops from Liuyang and Liling to attack Pingxiang, Wanzai, Yichun County, and attack his thief's lair.

The Mo thief will inevitably return to the army to rescue, and then the lord will send a good general to lead 10,000 Zhejiang soldiers to block the way of the Mo thief, and he is not afraid that this Mo thief will not be defeated.

Moreover, the 20,000 soldiers, horses, money, food, and military salaries are all paid by our province, presumably Yu Sixun and Tang Hui will not disagree. ”

After listening to Lin Zhen's suggestion, Liu Zongxiang couldn't help but nodded, the current plan, he Liu Zongxiang had nothing to do, except for being able to borrow troops from other provinces, he had no other way.

Lin Zhen's plan can be described as quite perfect, the two armies, all the way to attack the Mo thief's nest, all the way to resist the Mo thief's offensive in the front, drag him, wait until Huguang's army captures Yuanzhou, and then the two armies will attack, don't believe that he is not destroyed!

After hearing this plan, Zhu Zhichen also got up and agreed: "My lord, there is no other way at the moment, only in this way can we ensure that Jiangxi is not chaotic!" ”

Liu Zongxiang nodded thoughtfully, he patted the table and said: "Okay, according to what Ji Xuan said, I will write a note to ask Your Majesty to send the officials and troops of the two provinces to Jiangxi, and then write two letters to Huguang and Zhejiang provinces!" ”

Zhu Zhichen and Lin Zhen saw that they were finally no longer strong, and they also breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

The two of them had suggested before that they should not send a new army and directly invite reinforcements from other provinces, but unfortunately Liu Zongxiang died to save face, which led to today's defeat.

Now that the Mo thief is about to enter Nanchang, he Liu Zongxiang can't help but panic, so he can only try his best to make up for it.

Liu Zongxiang's song was sent to Beijing by fast horse, but no matter how fast it was, it would take at least half a month to get from Nanchang to Beijing.

Moreover, there are still Li Zicheng and other gangsters in Henan who are making trouble, and the post road is impassable, and the performance of this request is even more delayed on the road.

When Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, and Yu Sixun, the governor of Zhejiang, received Liu Zongxiang's letter, the letter had not yet arrived on Chongzhen's desk.

After receiving Liu Zongxiang's letter asking for help, Yu Sixun and Tang Hui had very different attitudes.

Tang Hui threw the letter directly away, and said coldly to his staff: "This Liu Zongxiang lost the battle by himself, and actually asked me for help, where do I have many soldiers sent to help him in Huguang, and now I have to send troops north to exterminate the Liukou, and the tens of thousands of troops on hand have all been transferred by Hong Chengchou."

Now Xiangxi and Xiangnan are making trouble, I don't have any soldiers to suppress the bandits, I will send another 10,000 soldiers to help him, so how can I govern Huguang? When he wrote back to him, he said that the official was really powerless to help him, and asked him to figure out his own way. ”

The staff immediately wrote a letter and asked the messenger to bring it back to Nanchang, and when Liu Zongxiang saw the letter, he was immediately in a bad mood.

He could only pin all his hopes on Yu Sixun, the governor of Zhejiang.

Yu Sixun is more humane than Tang Hui, but he didn't dare to send troops at will, because he didn't get the emperor's holy decree, he was a dignified governor of Zhejiang, if he sent troops without authorization because he saw a letter from Liu Zongxiang, then if he didn't do it well, he would have to eat the impeachment of the imperial history of the Beijing Division.

The two feudal officials actually exchanged letters in private, and dared to ask for help and send troops, which at best said that it was for the country and the people, and at worst it was terrible, that was suspected of forming a party and disrupting the country!

Yu Sixun did not promise to send troops immediately, but sent a letter to Liu Zongxiang, saying that he didn't want to send troops to help him, but without the emperor's holy decree, he, the governor of Zhejiang, could not mobilize Zhejiang's troops and horses out of the province at will, otherwise he would be impeached.

The two people didn't ask for it immediately, Liu Zongxiang was in a hurry, because when he received the reply from the two governors, he had already received a front-line battle report, Xingan County was broken by the anti-thief Mo Wen, the county magistrate Liu Zheng was beheaded, and the three thousand defeated soldiers defending the city surrendered, and now the anti-thief army is about to come to Qingjiang Mansion, and Hu Yongqing, the prefect of Qingjiang, is desperately asking him for help!

......

Mo Qian successfully took Xiajiang County without wasting his efforts, not only did he not lose a single person, but he also gained 3,000 villagers with combat experience in vain.

These 3,000 township warriors Mo Qian didn't let Liang Shiji take them away, these 3,000 people were trained quite well by Liang Shiji, and they already had some combat power, Mo Qian now lacked the most soldiers, annexed these 3,000 township Yong, and his strength in Xiajiang rose to 12,000 people at once.

At this time, he was already a leading figure in the real sense of the word in the western and central Jiangxi regions, and the soldiers in Nanchang Mansion did not add up to him.

After entering Xiajiang County, Mo Qian took all the officials of the county government in one pot, and also copied out more than 10,000 taels of silver from the home of Peng Ji, the county magistrate, and this large sum of money greatly alleviated the problem of military salaries for the righteous army.

Mo Qian immediately ordered 3,000 troops, and asked Peng Jinhong to lead these 3,000 men and horses to go south with a military salary of 10,000 taels of silver to support Lu Zhao, who was firmly defending Taihe County, and help him take Wan'an and Longquan counties.

The remaining 9,000 men and horses, led by him personally, accompanied by the new military advisor Li Banghua, directly marched to Xingan, 40 miles away.

Liu Zheng of Xinganzhi County saw that the army of anti-thieves was mighty, there were 10,000 people, and he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants on the city wall.

The 3,000 defeated soldiers who defended the city for him did not even resist after seeing the rebels approaching the city, and directly opened the city and surrendered.

The news that the rebels did not kill the prisoners had already spread throughout the army, and the officers and soldiers thought that the anti-righteous army would not kill the prisoners, so they would have made a mistake and surrendered.

As long as you surrender early, your head will be protected!

The 3,000 defeated soldiers who fled before all laid down their arms and surrendered, and they tied up Liu Zheng, the magistrate of the county, and the officials of the county government to go out of the city and hand them over to Mo Qian.

Liu Zheng is comparable to Peng Ji, they are both corrupt officials, and they are boiling public resentment in Xingan County, Li Banghua also said that although this person has some talent, his virtue is too stinky, and his official reputation in Xingan County is too bad.

Mo Qian didn't even look at Liu Zheng much, and waved his hand directly: "What's the use of such corrupt officials staying, drag them out and behead them!" ”

With an order, Liu Zheng and the county officials were all beheaded, and Xingan County was completely taken!

After capturing Xingan, Mo Qian did not immediately go north to march to Linjiang Mansion, but stationed in Xingan first.

The reason why he was stationed was not for anything else, but because the army under his command was now too large, with an army of 14,000 men, which led to a serious shortage of generals, and he now needed to promote his brothers who worked hard under him!
