When Hong Chengchou and the others were defeated and retreated, He Jinlong did not pursue, they had been fighting for a day, and they had no energy to pursue again.

Bigger questions awaited him, though.

He has now been deprived of the position of governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, and is only in the role of governor of Yansui to supervise the encirclement and suppression of the army, and nominally can also command Deng Xi and other three troops from Shandong.

But when Deng Xi's three troops came, they had 8,000 cavalry in their hands, and for such a powerful army, the Ming court obviously would not let a military attache lead it.

Not surprisingly, the Ministry of War sent a civilian officer to supervise the army, and the emperor also sent a eunuch to supervise the army.

This civil official is called Chen Xinjia, originally a military garrison in Liaodong, when Guanning Iron Cavalry went south to encircle and suppress the rebels in Dongjiang Town, he newly obtained the position of Shandong Inspector Imperial History, and went south to supervise the army with the great eunuch Gao Qiqian.

Because there was still the governor Zhu Dadian in the Shandong battlefield, this time the imperial court sent him and Gao Qiqian to the Shanxi battlefield as the supervisors of Deng Xi's three departments.

Also, Chen Xinjia is from Sichuan, like Deng Xi, the chief soldier of Sichuan, and it is also convenient to use him to supervise the army.

Chen Xinjia is just a lifter, and Hong Chengchou is a Jinshi, if it was in the past, Chen Xinjia would never have ridden on Hong Chengchou's head, and it would be impossible for him to sit on such a big official as the governor.

But now it's different, and anything is possible.

But in any case, he Hong Chengchou is the most powerful person on the battlefield in Shanxi, he is a second-class Cijinshi, ranking fourteenth, not Zhang Zongheng can compare, let alone Chen Xinjia, a person who can contend with.

In the cold wind, Hong Chengchou only hesitated, then gave up the idea of retreating to Pingyang Mansion City, in the battle of attacking Long Xiaoshi in the daytime, although his troops were damaged, but after all, they only suffered casualties of two horses at most, not to mention that his cavalry had almost no losses.

The remaining infantry and cavalry combined are still as many as 3,000, and they can still fight.

So, he cheered up and continued to move towards Linyi County in the west - he was the commander, and it was also within his duty to guard the rear, he Chen Xinjia had the ability to win the Dragon Thirteen, and it was okay if he couldn't take it, anyway, his face was okay.

And the two divisions of He Jinlong and Bai Wenxuan near Shuitou Fort not only won a complete victory in the one-day pursuit battle, killing more than half of the prisoners, but also captured Bai An and Zu Kuan's baggage grain and grass, and also captured Fang Guangchen, who Long Xiaoshi had been thinking about taking care of Zu Kuan's baggage!

In fact, as the son of Liaodong Bingbeidao, Fang Guangchen is obviously not alone, he also has ten family members assigned to him by his father, he also has war horses, and the baggage is still ten miles away from the main battlefield, it is said that after learning of Zu Kuan's defeat, he also has time to escape.

But Zu Kuan was defeated too quickly, and He Jinlong chased too fiercely this time, chasing for ten miles before stopping, and happened to run into Zu Kuan's rear camp.

So, Long Xiaoshi saw Fang Guangchen.

Fang Guangchen can have such a performance now, his father let him go to the army to train, showing the fact that he is not the eldest son, yes, he is the son of Fang Yizao's concubine, for the scholar at this time, the eldest son is used to guard the family, and the concubine is used to break through.

So, Fang Yizao's mother and Long Xiaoshi's mother are sisters.

Under these circumstances, sixteen-year-old Long Xiaoshi met with twenty-year-old Fang Guangchen.

Fang Guangchen is tall and straight, with a long sword hanging from his waist, dressed as a great scholar, in fact, he is just a showman, similar to Long Xiaoshi, and the same as Fu Shan, when he reads Xiucai, he doesn't want to read anymore, traveling everywhere, looking for teachers and friends, and broadening his knowledge is what he thinks.

Because Zu Kuan had a thousand Guan Ning iron horses, his father never thought that he would be defeated by the thieves, so he was relieved to let him come boldly, but he did not expect that after the two battles, his son would become a prisoner.

"You're really here......

Fang Guangchen really had some ability, and after being captured, not only was he not frightened, but calm.

Of course, he also had some misunderstandings, and He Jinlong also thought of Long Xiaoshi's words when he captured him, "There is a person named Fang Guangchen in the Zukuan camp, who is my cousin, if you see him, don't do any harm."

So, Fang Guangchen got it

gave him preferential treatment, and in his opinion, he thought it was the thief "Aicai" who treated him with courtesy.

Long Xiaoshi nodded, "Yes, here, I have been reborn."

"New students?"

Of course, this word existed in ancient times, but it was not commonly used, and Fang Guangchen did not react when he heard it.

Long Xiaoshi didn't explain, but asked, "I wonder what my cousin's plans are in the future?"

Fang Guangchen said, "If you can let me go, you will definitely be rewarded in the future!"

Long Xiaoshi smiled, "What can you report? Our army has taken several cities, with hundreds of thousands of stones, grains and grass, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, countless ordnance and materials, and 10,000 strong troops, tens of thousands of young and strong, which is already a big force, and you have also heard that our department has never been defeated since Shaanxi came."

"It is said that at this time, in the eyes of Jinshang, there are four people who are the most powerful in encircling and suppressing the righteous army, Cao Wenzhao, Ai Wannian, Zuo Liangyu, and He Renlong, two of whom have been annihilated by our department, listen, it is annihilation, from the highest general to the last soldier, there is no one left."

"Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong are also defeated under them, these four people are already like this, let alone others?"

"But what you are facing is the encirclement and suppression of the entire Ming Dynasty!"

"Oh? Is it? Cousin, you don't know the situation of the Ming Dynasty, although it is claimed that there are still a million men and horses, but the guards are all rotten, how can they afford to fight?"

"Then there are the men and horses in Beijing and Nanjing, they are slightly better than other guards, but they are also limited, that is, the 200,000 horses in the nine sides can be called elite."

"And among these 200,000, the Guanning army in Liaodong is facing Jiannu, how can it move lightly? The border troops of Yansui Town, Ningxia Town, and Gansu Town must face the Hudun Rabbit Khan who is about to go west, and they must not move lightly."

"That is, the men and horses of Xuanda and Shanxi towns, plus a small number of men and horses from other border armies, not to mention the rebels of Dongjiang Town in the east."

"And our righteous army, in addition to my small and strong brigade, there are still more than thirty troops, each of which is at least a fine cavalry, adding up to one or two thousand cavalry, how can it be easy to match?"

"You have already put the main force here in our department, you can imagine how far the other rebel army has raged."

Seeing that Fang Guangchen was silent, he continued, "The Great Fan Dynasty, how can it stand for three hundred years without falling? Daming, it's time for the day......

As soon as these words came out, Fang Guangchen was also shocked.

He thought about it in his heart for a long time, and finally acquiesced to his statement.

"Is there no way to save it?"

"Yes", Long Xiaoshi said, "First of all, I can't plunder the beauty of people, this is not my knowledge, this is what the master of my ministry said."

"Oh?"

"The great master once said, 'In the last days of a certain dynasty, there are all natural and man-made disasters, most of them are that the weather is getting drier and colder, and the Hu people in the north can no longer stay in their place, and the north of the Central Plains Dynasty will also have great droughts and frosts, which will hinder farming."

"As a result, the civil rebellion and the invasion of the Hu people have become the norm, and from then on, the end of the world is coming, which means that the dynasty will be changed.

"The big boss also said that if Mao Wenlong, the former chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, was not dead, and the former eunuch Wei Zhongxian was not dead, maybe the Ming Dynasty would still be able to live for a long time, but now it is ......."

Fang Guangchen asked, "Why is that? That Mao Wenlong is arrogant and domineering, although Yuan Chonghuan's killing is illegal, but it is also reasonable, if it is said that killing Yuan Chonghuan is self-destruction of the Great Wall, I think there is some truth, what does it have to do with killing Mao Wenlong?"

"Also, the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian is a generation of powerful female cadres, and now he is removed, and the court will only be cleared after that.......

"Hahaha", Long Xiaoshi couldn't help laughing, "You are still comparing yourself to Guan Zhong and Kong Ming, just this knowledge?"

Fang Guangchen was a little embarrassed and a little unconvinced, and asked, "I want to hear why!"

"Okay", Long Xiaoshi continued, "Let's not say that as soon as Mao Wenlong dies, Dongjiang Town will be four, which is not as good as before, when Mao Wenlong was in the past, did Jiannu have no scruples to enter Guan Xiangkou in the west?"

"When Mao Wenlong is here, he can fight

Pointing directly to Liaoyang and Shenyang, can the current Dongjiang Town do it?"

"Also, when Wei Zhongxian was here, although he was still at a disadvantage in the face of Jiannu, he was still able to hold the area west of Jinzhou, what about now? Huh."

"The big boss once said, the Ming Dynasty, ruined in these Donglin party members who claim to be the Zhengying Dynasty, they seem to be bright and bright, high and bright, but in fact they are stubborn and pedantic, one by one is really a real hypocrite, they have no strategy for the country, and they have no ability to do common things."

"I only know that the party is the same as the other, intrigues, ignoring the major affairs of the country, it turns out that there are people like Wei Zhongxian who are constrained, whether it is to collect food and salaries, or to mobilize soldiers and horses, although there are some difficulties, it can be successfully completed after all, now, hehe."

Fang Guangchen no longer had the shame he had just now, he calmed down, "Is this really what your big boss said?"

"Is this false?"

also changed to a long silence, and finally said: "Xiao Shi, maybe what you said is right, but right now, my father is Ning Qianbing, if I take refuge in the thief, I will inevitably implicate him, you let me go back first, don't worry, I will wait and see what happens."

Long Xiaoshi nodded, "It's okay."

.......

After Chen Xinjia and Gao Qiqian came with a large army, they immediately set up three camps in the north, east and west of the camp, which were respectively settled by Deng Xi's department, Zu Dabi's department, and Liu Liangzuo's department.

However, for Long Shisan, there is still Ma Shouying's troops in Jiezhou, his third brigade in Pinglu County, and He Jinlong's second brigade in Shuitoubao, just like playing Go.

Not long ago, due to the defeat of Bai An and Zu Kuan, Hong Chengchou's department returned in vain, and in fact, it was already "the overall situation became dangerous".

This is what forty-year-old Chen Xinjia thought after getting the news of Hong Chengchou and Bai An's second department.

However, the actual supreme commander of the army, the great eunuch Gao Qiqian, did not think so.

He also comforted Chen Xinjia, "The Hongbu has only suffered a slight loss, and the thief army will definitely be greatly damaged after defeating the Bai'an Army, and it will be difficult to threaten our army from the outside."

His subtext was: "Hong Chengchou has been demoted to the governor of Yansui due to his ineffective suppression of thieves, and if you do something now, it is very likely to take his place."

So, Chen Xinjia regained his spirits.

At this moment, Chen Xinjia thought not of how to defeat the thief army, but how to compete with Hong Chengchou for power and profit, or how he, a "lifter", overwhelmed the "Jinshi" who was born in a professional class, so as to justify the name of the majority of lifters.
