In the eighth year of Chongzhen, September 28.

Gongchang Province, northern part of Qinzhou.

On a high ground next to the official road, a simple camp stood in the light rain.

The fiery red flags erected on the periphery of the camp indicate their identity.

Soldiers wearing helmets and carrying spears stood guard over the camp walls.

In the camp, the military tents were strict and orderly, and the smoke of the cooking stove rose and mixed with the moisture in the air.

Under the canopy, Chen Wangzheng was engrossed in examining the map of Gongchang Mansion placed on the wooden table in front of him.

In the past eight days, he chased Li Guo all the way from Pingliang Mansion to Gongchang Mansion, and now he has crossed Qin'an and arrived in the north of Qinzhou.

Li Guo did not deviate from the route again, and followed his plan all the way south, and now he had arrived at the periphery of Qinzhou.

The document for Hong Chengchou's accountability has arrived, but the wording is not too drastic.

Regarding Hong Chengchou's accountability, Chen Wang actually prepared for it very early in his heart.

After all, Li Guo's command was just a remnant of the army, and he could escape all the way from Qingyang Mansion to Pingliang Mansion, and then to Gongchang Mansion.

The guerrilla who is responsible for the pursuit must be responsible.

This crime can be light or severe, and to say that it is a light attack is slow and has little effect.

To put it more seriously, it is the ineffective suppression of bandits, which has caused the rogues to poison the three mansions and cause chaos in the nine cities.

However, Chen Wang knew very well that no matter how heavy the culpability was, it would not be so heavy as to throw away the guerrilla that had just arrived.

After all, the guerrilla on him now can be just under office, and even if he makes a mistake, the top will put him down first.

First, the imperial court will not slap itself in the face.

Second, there are not many soldiers in Gongchang Mansion now, and nearly 30,000 rogues from the Four Heavenly Kings Li Yangji and the Heavenly Climbing King are now wreaking havoc in Gongchang Mansion.

Hong Chengchou can't spare his hand in Guanzhong now, and he doesn't have extra troops to send to suppress it, so he can only rely on him to deal with it.

Coming together with Hong Chengchou's accountability, it was Hong Chengchou who put him in charge of clearing out the remaining bandits in Gongchang Mansion.

It is an unspoken rule to recruit and surrender troops as combat power, and it is not put on the table.

But this does not mean that Hong Chengchou does not know how many auxiliaries his generals and colonies have raised.

For this information, Hong Chengchou is naturally clear.

It is now the eighth year of Chongzhen, not the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the prestige of the imperial court is still there, and the control is still strict.

Chen Wang did not hide his gains after the Battle of Chunhua.

Anyway, the harvest does not return to the public, this is also an unspoken rule.

Chen Wang seized part of the seizure and sent someone to Cao Wenzhao's account.

Originally, Chen Wang didn't think of sending part of the seizure to Cao Wenzhao, but he came to his senses after Zhao Huailiang reminded him.

As Cao Wenzhao's family, he can be said to be single-handed.

In the words of officialdom at this time, Cao Wenzhao was his benefactor.

He can not be close to everyone, and he can not give it if he is seized, but he must give it to Cao Wenzhao.

If one person is captured and swallowed all, it will be considered unkind and isolated by everyone.

Not many people want to get along with a mean and unkind person, and Shangguan will also have a problem with this psychologically, so naturally he will not promote this kind of person.

This also sounded the alarm for Chen Wang.

In the midst of officialdom, you must be cautious and cautious.

As long as the guerrilla military position is not lost, fines and punishments do not matter to Chen Wang now.

And in the pursuit of nearly a month, Chen Wang has not all been hanging in the rear.

Chen Wang has always kept the military strength under Li Guo's command at about six or seven thousand, no more and no less.

If there are too many, I'm afraid that the tail will be difficult to fall off later.

Otherwise, Li Guo may not be able to hold out to Hanzhong Mansion.

However, although Li Guo was not exterminated, he won a lot of military achievements.

A total of more than 20,000 villagers were rescued, and more than 1,340 people were beheaded, all of which were reported, and more or less offset some of the negative impacts.

Chen Wang glanced up at the rain curtain outside the shed.

This time period is almost the time period of Shaanxi's autumn harvest, this year's Shaanxi did not suffer from a major drought, although the rainfall is lower than normal, but it is not dripping.

In the past month, there have been three light rains.

Li Guo seemed to understand his intentions, and now he was faintly a little embarrassed.

In the event of rain, he did not march anymore, but directly ordered to set up camp, and the distance of the daily march was not far.

Chen Wang didn't care about these small problems, and as soon as the rain started, he also ordered the army to camp on the spot.

No matter what Li Guo thought in his heart, as long as he still wanted to live, he could only follow his plan all the way to Hanzhong Mansion.

However, at this stage, Chen Wang had no way to prevent Li Guo from meeting with the Four Heavenly Kings and the Climbing Heavenly Kings.

Hu Zhili had already cut off the road from Qinzhou to the east to Fengxiang Mansion with the new barracks, but all of them under his command were a group of recruits, and only the backbone was a veteran recruited from Pizhou.

Those recruits had been hungry soldiers in the rogue army for more than a month before, and they had only been training for a few days.

Then there is a march all the way, training on the way to training, and only occasionally training the queue and military formation when there is no tension.

The current recruit battalion is actually not very strong, and it has a certain advantage in the face of ordinary rogues, after all, they are fully armored, and they have also received almost a month of marching and training.

But you can't fight a tough battle, the defense is okay, and once you attack, you will reveal the fact that you are strong on the outside.

The rendezvous between Li Guo and the Four Heavenly Kings and the Climbing Heavenly Kings has become inevitable.

Once the three armies are combined, their strength will swell to more than 30,000 people.

After the three divisions are combined, the infantry team and the old and weak are not counted, but most of the elite cavalry under the command can reach more than three thousand, and the horse army should also be seven or eight thousand.

At this time, it is extremely difficult to force him to continue to walk towards Hanzhong Mansion.

In the end, I am afraid that a big war will inevitably be inevitable.

The outcome of the war will affect whether the plan will succeed in the end.

Chen Wang's gaze kept wandering above the Hanzhong Mansion and the Gongchang Mansion.

He had to go to Hanzhong Mansion, otherwise once the Guanzhong War was over, he would be tired of running around Shaanxi and Shanxi.

The situation in Guanzhong is gradually becoming clearer, but the situation in the rest of Shaanxi is deteriorating rapidly.

Li Zicheng, who escaped from Chunhua, advanced all the way to Yan'an Mansion, gathered troops again, and at the same time joined some rogues who had been wandering in Yan'an, and regained his momentum.

The defenders of Yan'an Mansion went out of the city to fight in the field, but they were all defeated by Li Zicheng.

Yu Chongxiao, the chief soldier of Yansui Town, pursued the Tianxing Huideng Xiang all the way from Qingyang Mansion to Anding in Yan'an Mansion, and ambushed twenty miles west of Anding City.

Hui Dengxiang and the stars in the sky and the stars in the sky gathered tens of thousands, surrounded the division three times, and fired thousands of arrows at the same time.

Most of the 3,000 Yansui soldiers were killed, and only 1,000 remained.

Yu Chongxiao died in battle, and his soldiers desperately snatched back Yu Chongxiao's body.

Yu Chongxiao's blood stained all over his body, one shot in the abdomen, three knives in the waist, one knife in the mouth, and two broken heads and necks.

The general army fell, the three armies of Yansui Town were shocked, and the military town was in turmoil.

The situation in Yan'an Province has completely collapsed and can no longer be controlled.
