Chapter 52: Chunhua

Chen Wang naturally didn't know anything about what happened in Xingping County.

On the march to the interior, the speed of the march was more than doubled, with auxiliary troops and livestock transporting armaments, after several days of rapid marching.

They had already arrived at the city of Pizhou again, and a small number of rogue cavalry had already appeared outside the city.

However, there was no engagement, but when they heard the wind, the rogue cavalry wandering outside the city was already gone.

Pizhou is located between the mountains, with a Pizhou as the center, and there are only three official roads.

One leads northwest to Pingliang Province.

One leads northeast to Sanshui, but this road is quite narrow.

The other is all the way to the south, through Yongshou, Muling Pass, Qianzhou three cities line, out of Qianzhou into the vast Guanzhong Plain.

This road is tortuous and extremely long, among which there are many lofty mountains and mountains, and the terrain is very rugged.

The nearest way to Chunhua is actually to take Sanshui City and then go south to Chunhua, but now no one dares to go to the official road to the northeast, because it is difficult to ensure that Liukou has set up an ambush between the two mountains.

Therefore, the plan to receive the military order was that Zuo Liangyu would temporarily garrison Pizhou, and Cao Wenzhao would lead the troops south and transfer to help.

Hong Chengchou had already sent more than 1,000 cavalry under his command to aid Chunhua, and at the same time recruited a lot of auxiliary soldiers in various cities and villages, and ordered people to make a lot of banners overnight.

Those auxiliaries were used as combat soldiers and stationed in one place.

However, Hong Chengchou did not really pin his hopes on those auxiliaries who were just strong men not long ago, and he ordered people to rush out the banners, including Daxu.

The troops are stretched, and Hong Chengchou's response is to bluff and set up an ambush.

Those auxiliary soldiers raised the banners of You Shiwei, Tang Jiuzhou, Chen Yongfu and other generals, and in this way swaggered into Chunhua and Xingping.

Although Hong Chengchou's method seems simple, it does have an effect.

The forward horse team of Qingyang Mansion had already arrived to want Chunhua City, but when they saw Tang Jiuzhou's banner, they actually retreated to Sanshui City.

Tang Jiuzhou is also a fierce general, not only leading a lot of elite cavalry, but also the soldiers under his command are equipped with a lot of firearms.

He once defeated Tianxing in Wucheng Town, beheaded 420 levels, defeated no calculation, and repeatedly broke the thieves with Zuo Liangyu and others.

If the fear of the rogues is graded, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao, and Cao Bianjiao can be ranked at the top, and the rogues all flee in despair.

He Renlong, Qin Liangyu, Tang Jiuzhou, Zuo Liangyu, and others can be ranked second, and those who see it are all silent, and the enemy will be defeated immediately.

Ai Wannian, Liu Chenggong and others were in the third echelon, and they were all afraid of fighting against them, and they quickly fled with the slightest headwind.

It was rumored that there was a Cao in the army, and the thief was frightened when he heard it. Cizuo Liangyu, Tang Kyushu; If the Beijing battalion soldiers, the thieves are very light.

As soon as the army was stationed under the city, Chen Wang received a summons from Cao Wenzhao.

The army camped with its own charter, and the camping departments and departments in the plains were fixed, and Chen Wang was familiar with the road all the way and walked into the tent of the Chinese army.

"Humble Chen Wang, see the general!"

Chen Wang walked into the account and found that not only Cao Wenzhao was in the camp, but Zuo Liangyu was also in the camp.

"See General Soldier Zuo."

Chen Wang bowed his head slightly and saluted again.

However, there is a clear distinction between the top and bottom of the army, and etiquette has to be practiced.

How Zuo Liangyu is in history, Chen Wang knows no better.

Zuo Liangyu in the early stage was not arrogant, although he had an arrogant and arrogant side, but most of the time he listened to both the tune and the announcement.

At that time, Zuo Liangyu's only shortcoming was that he "controlled the crowd quite widely", and the military discipline of his army was not good, and Zuo Liangyu also allowed the army to plunder.

But the turning point when he really became arrogant, arrogant, domineering, and self-respecting in the later period all began in the eleventh year of Chongzhen.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Zuo Liangyu defeated Zhang Xianzhong and wanted to kill him, but Xiong Wencan wanted to appease him.

Zuo Liangyu and Xiong Wencan were already at odds, and the contradiction between the two intensified again, and soon after Zhang Xianzhong surrendered and re-sentenced, Xiong Wencan recruited Zuo Liangyu to suppress him.

This time, Zuo Liangyu suffered a defeat, all the military talisman seals were lost, more than 10 million military funds were abandoned, and 10,000 soldiers died.

Afterwards, he was also demoted by three levels for the crime of rash advances.

At the end of the eleventh year, there was a mutiny in Xuzhou, and Zuo Liangyu's family was placed in Xuzhou and was wiped out in the mutiny.

Zuo Liangyu's transformation and self-respect for the army also began.

"Your thousand households have already come down."

With a smile on his face, Cao Wenzhao pointed to the seal letter on the table and smiled.

"There is an order from the military gate, and you can rush to Chunhua to integrate the army to guard against thieves in Qingyang and defend Chunhua County."

Chen Wang suppressed the excitement in his heart, but he didn't forget what he should say, and immediately said in a deep voice.

"General Xie promotes!"

Cao Wenzhao stepped forward and helped him, and Chen Wang also stood up.

"Brother Cao's sons and daughters are really all heroic!"

Zuo Liangyu sat aside and said with a smile.

"Now that I am in the position of the temporary consul of the battalion commander, as long as I make a few more contributions, it will not be a problem to be promoted to a guerrilla attack at that time, and I will not be able to be a deputy general and a general soldier in the future."

Zuo Liangyu stood up, faced Chen Wang, and smiled again.

Although Zuo Liangyu didn't know how to read, he still spoke quite moderately.

"Thanks to the good words of General Zuo, but to be able to become a thousand generals is already relying on the support of generals, and I really dare not hope for guerrillas, generals and other positions."

Chen Wang did not slack off, bowed slightly, and returned the salute with a fist.

Cao Wenzhao didn't let the topic go too far, and quickly got back to business.

"The enemy army has approached Chunhua, and Chunhua now has only 3,000 Xi'an guards, under the banner of Tang Jiuzhou as a suspicious soldier."

"The order of the military gate is not only to collect the Liao soldiers, but also to integrate the troops to guard against the Qingyang thieves."

"The meaning of the military order is to hand over the defense of Chunhua to you, you understand."

Chen Wang's heart was slightly cold, Cao Wenzhao had already said Hong Chengchou's military order just now, but he didn't really hear it.

But when Cao Wenzhao repeated it again, Chen Wang heard it clearly this time.

This military order undoubtedly made him guard a city.

It stands to reason that this should not be, log in to the camp management, and the superiors will definitely know about his past, just a few months ago, he was just a family member, but now he is asked to preside over the military affairs of a city.

"It's an opportunity."

There was an inexplicable look in Cao Wenzhao's eyes.

"Whether you can grasp it or not is all in your hands!"

"History of the Ming Dynasty, Biography of the Ming Dynasty, One Hundred and Sixty-One":

"Liangyu is less lonely, raised by my uncle. He is also noble, and he does not know his mother's surname. ”

"Long body, brave, good at shooting left and right. He doesn't know how to read, he is resourceful, and he is happy with his soldiers, so he has meritorious service in battle. ”

“…… Zuo Liangyu used his brave material to frequently annihilate the drama Kou, then supported the strong army, arrogant and arrogant, and if he was slow, he raised the Kou to worry about it, and if he was in a hurry, he abandoned the armor and collapsed. ”

"At that time, there were many generals who did not need to be killed, and Liangyu was reckless, did not correct the punishment chapter, and tolerated the troubles, and he ignored the death to the rank of soldier."
