Gongchang Mansion, Chengxian Ming Army Camp.

Li Zicheng took the remnants of the army to hide in the deep mountains and huge valleys of Cheng and Jie.

Hong Chengchou organized several attacks in succession, all of which ended in failure, and he could only divide his troops to block various important places to prevent the intruding army from leaving Gongchang Mansion again.

Hong Chengchou was not impatient, and there were not many generals and soldiers under his command now.

Two months ago, while the Chuang army was storming Hanzhong Mansion, Hong Chengchou led his troops to advance the battle line to the area of Chengxian County, which roughly stabilized the front.

However, it has also cost a lot of money, and now the troops under Hong Chengchou's command are already quite difficult just to defend various key roads, and there are not many troops that can be used to attack and suppress.

Nearly dusk, smoke rose from the camp of the Ming army, and the aroma of rice porridge and rice slowly flowed and swayed in the camp.

The camp was peaceful, a little more popular than usual, and the original terrifying evil aura was much weaker.

However, this rare calm was soon broken by the sound of horses' hooves.

"North Sichuan Emergency !!"

A messenger with a banner on his back and a dusty messenger rode a red horse into the camp like a gale.

"Sichuan North Emergency, all dodge!"

The messenger on the horse, with a fierce face, saw that there were still many soldiers on the road who were stunned, and there was no intention of dodging at all, so he immediately held up the token and scolded sharply.

The soldiers who were originally standing on the road heard the scolding and saw the war horses rushing straight forward, and everyone subconsciously leaned towards the sides of the road, making way for the knight holding the token to make way for a fairly wide road.

The sound of horses' hooves echoed in everyone's ears like a dense drumbeat, and the soldiers who gave way had not yet reacted.

The horses were already galloping past, the sound of horses' hooves slowly drifting away with billowing smoke, and all that could be seen was a figure speeding away from their backs.

In an instant, the cavalry holding the token had already driven the war horse over countless camp tents and arrived at the location of the army in the camp.

The token in his hand lost all its effectiveness on the last part of the road, and a group of armored soldiers in heavy armor had already noticed him and stopped him from the tent.

The messenger did not break in, and when he approached the Chinese tent, he had already seen a gun array blocking the way.

"North Sichuan urgent, the seal certificate is here, please check it quickly."

Before he got closer, the messenger had already jumped off his horse before the war horse had completely stopped, and directly handed over the voucher and the seal.

The general and colonel in charge of guarding the Chinese army had already heard the "Northern Sichuan Emergency Report" that the messenger said, and his face was very embarrassed.

The general stepped forward, and after quickly checking the official document and the letter, his face became gloomy again, and he said in a deep voice.

"Quickly send the pond to the superintendent!"

The curtain was lifted, and the soldiers guarding the tent walked quickly into the tent with well-sealed pond newspapers in both hands.

Then the general on duty also took several soldiers and escorted the messenger who delivered the letter into the tent.

Hong Chengchou was standing in the center of the big tent at this time, and a rather large sand table was placed in front of him.

Rivers, forests, mountains, and towns are all marked in detail.

"North Sichuan ......"

Hong Chengchou raised his head, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and everyone in the tent only felt as if they were being targeted by the owl, and they couldn't help but feel an inexplicable fear in their hearts.

The scribe standing next to Hong Chengchou quickly opened the encapsulated Tang Bao and handed it to Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou lowered his head, and everyone's minds relaxed a little.

However, when Hong Chengchou's vision just touched the Tang Bao in his hand, he was too shocked, and his pupils suddenly dilated a lot.

In the next moment, Tang Bao was pinched together in Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou's complexion kept changing, blue and white, and then his eyes gradually turned red, like a wounded beast.

Everyone in the tent had different expressions, and everyone bowed their heads in unison.

Although they didn't know what was written on the Tang newspaper, Hong Chengchou behaved like this, where did they dare to make any noise at this time.

……

"Greetings to the General!"

Before the camp at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, Chen Wang took the lead in bowing down.

In the next moment, the generals and soldiers who followed him also fell to the ground with Chen Wang, and their movements were uniform, like a wheat field blown by a strong wind.

Cao Wen Zhaole listened to the war horse under his seat, his gaze stayed on Chen Wang's body for a while, and then he looked at the group of armored soldiers behind him.

"These soldiers of yours are indeed well trained."

Chen Wang raised his head and stood up at the same time.

Cao Wenzhao's smile at this time was quite peaceful, and he looked as if he was the same as in the past.

But if you look closely, you can find that Cao Wenzhao's spirit is much worse than in the past, and he is much more tired than when he was in Hutou Town.

This is also normal, Cao Wenzhao has been following Hong Chengchou's command since Hutou Town, fighting in the south and north along the way, fighting thousands of miles away, and fighting with the rogues for nearly a hundred times.

As the commander-in-chief of the reinforcement and suppression, he is not only responsible for the advance and suppression of bandits in the area, but also needs to coordinate the soldiers and horses of various departments and battalions, and at the same time is also responsible to Hong Chengchou.

None of them will be easy.

Memories of the past are flooding in like a tide, and they are memories that belong to the original owner.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the relationship between the family and the general was very close, and one was prosperous and the other was lost.

For the family members under his hands, the treatment given to them by the Lord is basically the best, and even much better than himself.

Whether it was before or now, Cao Wenzhao can be regarded as doing his best.

The words that Chen Wang originally wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

It was a different sentence.

"General, the state is difficult, but please take care of your health......"

Cao Wenzhao was slightly stunned, and his eyes eased a little.

Cao Wen has read countless people, and he can distinguish between sincerity and hypocrisy.

Chen Wang stepped forward and grabbed the bridle of the war horse under Cao Wenzhao's seat.

Cao Wenzhao's eyes were slightly condensed, and he was speechless.

As a member of the guard, Chen Wang used to lead him a horse for a period of time.

But now that Chen Wang has become the deputy chief soldier of the town guard, he is only one level away from him in name, and he still leads the horse at this time.

To be honest, Rao has been up and down in officialdom for many years and has seen all kinds of people, but Cao Wenzhao is still a little touched in his heart.

Chen Wang led the horse and walked in front, he didn't think about doing it beforehand, it was completely subconscious.

However, Chen Wang did not choose to let go of the bridle, but led the horse all the way to the Chinese military tent.

In a sense, without Cao Wenzhao, Chen Wang would definitely not have the identity of his current status.

When he first took office, he sent his subordinates to temporarily help take charge of the army, and then all the military achievements reported were basically not suppressed, and the ordnance and weapons were also supplied as much as possible.

Later, after making a mistake, it was also under Cao Wenzhao's reminder that Chen Wangcai came back to his senses and solved the problem, so that his career was not affected.

Without Cao Wenzhao's several reminders, let alone the deputy commander-in-chief of the town guard, the original guerrilla official function could not be preserved.

Outside the tent of the Chinese army, Cao Wenzhao and the generals and colonels who followed him all dismounted.

Chen Wang saw an acquaintance inside-Cao Dingjiao.

Sensing Chen Wang's gaze, a smile also appeared on Cao Dingjiao's face and nodded, Chen Wang clasped his hands into fists and returned the salute.

Cao Bianjiao made military merits, Heishuiyu was promoted to deputy chief soldier after the first war, and Cao Dingjiao is now promoted to general and no longer holds the original garrison military position.

Cao Wenzhao took Cao Dingjiao into the tent of the Chinese army, and the others did not follow, still standing outside the tent.

Chen Wang glanced at the people standing outside the tent, and knew that Cao Wenzhao should feel that there were many people, and he also walked into the tent of the Chinese army at that moment.

In the tent, Cao Wenzhao and Cao Dingjiao had already sat down.

Without waiting for Chen Wang to ask a question, Cao Wenzhao had already frowned and spoke first.

And Cao Wenzhao's first words made Chen Wang, who was about to sit down, freeze on the spot.

"The thieves entered Sichuan from Wenxian County at the end of September, and broke through the 11 cities in the north of Sichuan in October......"

Chen Wang's body stiffened, and it took all his strength to turn his head in the direction where Cao Wenzhao was.

He finally figured out why he had always had a bad premonition before, always feeling that something was missing.

Now that he heard Wen County and heard the thief, he finally remembered it.

The Chuang army was trapped in the mountainous areas of Cheng and Jie, and in addition to entering Sichuan through Ningqiang, they could also enter Sichuan from Wenxian in Gongchang Prefecture.

The road to Shu is not only the road of Ningqiang-Qipanguan-Guangyuan.

Li Zicheng took the second route, passing directly from Wenxian in the south of Gongchang Province to Songpanwei in Sichuan Province.

There are many toasts in Songpanwei, and almost everyone never thought that Li Zicheng would be so bold and enter Songpanwei.

But Li Zicheng did just that, he left troops in Ningqiang and Chuxian as a cover, and he was still attacking the east and west, and this time relying on such a blind spot in his vision, his plan worked.

Li Zicheng led a group of horses under his command to break into Songpan Weizhong from Wenxian County.

There are a lot of Tusi in the territory of Songpanwei, and the people in the area under the jurisdiction of the Tusi are fierce and strong.

But Li Zicheng was very scheming, and he had already sent people to communicate with the local Tusi and offer gold and silver to buy the road, and he didn't provoke Kun Ai at all.

Then Li Zicheng directly led the army to the south of Long'an Mansion, Long'an Mansion has been peaceful for a long time, and there are not many soldiers in the mansion, even the militia.

Therefore, Li Zicheng is like a bamboo all the way.

Now it has entered Chengdu Prefecture, has broken through the northernmost Zhangming, and is approaching the Mianzhou area.

"The Sichuan emergency report has been submitted to Governor Hong, and I am on the order of Governor Fu to go south into Sichuan and rush to the aid of the suppression."

"This is a military order for requisition, and the Hanzhong Mansion is temporarily handed over to Zhou Yumao for defense, and the governor has an order, and you will lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to follow me into the attack."

The thieves who entered Sichuan broke through many cities one after another, coercing a large number of people, and the army was constantly expanding, and the troops in Sichuan Province were seriously insufficient.

"The army left in Ningqiang is a false soldier, and what is left in the north of Jitou Pass is a bait."

"Hou Liangzhu and Cao Bianjiao have already left Qipanguan with their troops and are approaching in the direction of Zitong."

"The thieves turned into the wind, and they are already under the city of Mianzhou."

Cao Wenzhao tapped the table and gave the final order.

"Thieves are running rampant in the river, causing a lot of damage."

"Sichuan Province is empty, Chengdu is now exposed to the front of the thieves, time does not wait for me, the soldiers are fast, I will give you a day to rest, and then follow me to the south."

The two thousand words I owe before, plus today's eight hundred, I will try to pay it off tomorrow, I feel a little unwell, I'm really sorry, but it won't be broken, and please rest assured to subscribe
