"More than 4,000 people can't keep a county, they can't keep a county! What the hell is he Wang Pu eating?! ”

In the south of Qinzhou City, Hong Chengchou looked terrifying, and his voice was cold as if it came from under the Nine Shadows.

The generals and officials of the four armies all stood behind them tremblingly, and no one dared to step forward and say half a word.

Even the officials and generals who were good friends with Wang Pu were silent at this time, looking down at the ground.

In the past, when Hong Chengchou had such a gaffe, this time Hong Chengchou was already really angry.

Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Yansui Town, can be regarded as completely done.

Hong Chengchou's eyes were red, and he was furious.

If Wang Pu was in front of him now, I was afraid that he would have to receive military justice on the spot.

Hong Chengchou couldn't contain the anger in his heart, looking at the mountains to the south, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire.

Last year, Li Zicheng drilled into the deep mountains and giant valleys of Chengdu and Jie, found a loophole in the defense line, and broke through from Wenxian County to northern Sichuan, and he was under great pressure.

Especially when Chengdu was besieged and the King of Shu was trapped, the edicts of the Son of Heaven were directly sent to the army.

So much so that in the end, he had to personally lead his troops all the way to Sichuan, and then chased thousands of miles of roads, and finally surrounded Li Zicheng in Qinzhou.

Surrounded on all sides, he thought that the problem might be the Fengxiang Mansion guarded by Cao Wenzhao.

But I didn't expect that in the end, the problem would be in the south.

There were 4,000 soldiers under the command of Wang Pu, the general soldier of Yansui, and 4,000 people guarded a pass, but they didn't even reach it for a day, and Li Zicheng broke through the pass and crossed Qishan.

Li Zicheng re-entered the Chengshan and Jieshan Mountains at this time, broke free from the net, and the traces disappeared again, and the traces were not predictable at all.

To the west, you can enter Minzhouwei, to the east, you can enter Hanzhongfu, and to the south you can enter northern Sichuan.

No matter which path Li Zicheng finally chooses, all his arrangements and arrangements have become a joke.

The deadline for the March thief is approaching, and it is impossible to kill the thief.

Now that Li Zicheng is once again out of the encirclement, he, the black gauze hat of the trilateral governor, may have to be thrown away because of this......

"Urgently spread to Sichuan, Li Chuang has already broken through the encirclement, and if he enters the deep mountains of Cheng and Step, he may break through to northern Sichuan again."

Hong Chengchou clenched the horsewhip, the blood in his eyes had slowly dissipated and retreated, and his expression gradually regained his calm, easing from his anger.

The matter has come to this point, no matter how angry you are, no matter how much you curse, it is useless, it is better to try your best to make up for it.

Hong Chengchou's eyes scanned the scene around, but what he was thinking about was the route of Li Zicheng's march and the location of the breakthrough.

"Minzhou shouldn't be able to ......"

Hong Chengchou regained his composure, and his mind was already the first of the three options that had been ruled out.

The possibility of Li Zicheng re-entering Minzhou Wei is very small, and now Li Zicheng is undoubtedly throwing himself into the net by leading troops to Minzhou Wei again.

Because most of the troops in the entire Shaanxi Province have been concentrated around Gongchang Mansion, if Li Zicheng enters Minzhou Wei again, he only needs to block the two passes in the north and south, and he can trap the army in the northwest.

Li Zicheng is not a fool, at this time, he will lead his troops south into the Cheng and Jieshan mountains again, and he will definitely not enter the northwest again.

"Order Fengxiang Mansion, and order Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao to immediately lead the army to enter Luoyang through Fengxian."

Hong Chengchou is resolute and resolute, and Li Zicheng can jump out of the encirclement net whether he goes to Sichuan or Hanzhong.

For today's plan, the only way to do this is to fortify everywhere and intercept them heavily.

Removing the option to enter Minzhou, Li Zicheng has only two remaining options - Sichuan and Hanzhong.

On the Sichuan side, although most of the troops who rushed to aid Chengdu were disbanded, there were still many remnants, and Hou Liangzhu was also there, so he should be able to hold it.

"Chen Wang immediately went south, took a shortcut and rushed to help Hanzhong."

The combat power of the soldiers under Zhou Yumao's command, Hong Chengchou, is very clear that if Li Zicheng really attacks the county, Zhou Yumao will definitely not be able to resist it.

There are many cavalry under Li Zicheng's command, and they have turned like the wind, and now they have lost their traces for many days, and no one can know where Li Zicheng has run.

At the moment, the most dangerous is still Hanzhong Mansion.

After Chen Wang was transferred out of the house, there was a battalion of soldiers and horses left in Zhou Yumao, as well as the guards of Han Zhongwei

If Li Zicheng attacked Hanzhong Mansion, Zhou Yumao would not be able to parry.

The interior of Hanzhong Mansion is empty, and now there are only 2,000 auxiliary soldiers left by Chen Wang in the entire central part of Hanzhong Mansion in Jitou Pass, which is difficult to hold Hanzhong City.

King Rui is in Hanzhong City, and there must be no mistakes.

No one can bear the responsibility for the fall of the clan.

……

Fengxiang Mansion, Baoji County.

The military order issued by Hong Chengchou belonged to the military emergency order, which was urgent for eight hundred miles, and the order of the order had already arrived in Baoji of Fengxiang Mansion at noon on the second day.

Cao Wenzhao, who received the order, knew that the matter was very important, so he immediately set up the camp, led Cao Bianjiao to lead the cavalry first, and galloped all the way towards Luoyang.

The infantry team was all lost to Cao Dingjiao's commander, and he led the infantry team to follow forward.

Chen Wang received an order to rush to the aid of Hanzhong, not to enter Lüyang like Cao Wenzhao.

The military order was urgent, and there was not much time left.

After Cao Wenzhao led the troops to leave, Chen Wang also led his troops and horses straight south and galloped towards Hanzhong Mansion.

Li Zicheng's re-entry into Cheng and Jieshan not only exceeded Hong Chengchou's expectations, but also Chen Wang's expectations.

"Order Hu Zhiyi, let him lead the troops to rush to the aid of the county, and never let the liukou re-enter Hanzhong......"

Chen Wang's heart was not thinking about the safety of King Rui, he was thinking about the guard he had built with great difficulty.

Chen Wang led the cavalry lightly and handed over the infantry to Tang Shiping, but it took a total of seven days for Rao to arrive in Hanzhong.

From Baoji to Hanzhong, the plank road is difficult to travel, nearly more than 500 miles.

When Chen Wang arrived in Hanzhong City, a message was also sent to Hanzhong City from the west.

In the camp south of Hanzhong City, in the tent of the Chinese army, a soldier was half-kneeling on the ground, reporting the news from the west.

"The thief crossed the Luoyang, and the seven levels have been broken, and the Baoning Mansion is in an emergency!"

Chen Wang's hanging heart was also relieved because of this piece of information.

Li Zicheng did not come to Hanzhong Mansion, but chose to go to Sichuan again, which means that Hanzhong Mansion is safe for the time being.

It's just that...... The seven-disc pass is still broken in the end.

The deadline for the March thief has also reached the last month.

In April, as long as the rogue was not eliminated within the time limit, the imperial court would punish all officers and soldiers at all levels.

In history, Cao Bianjiao, Zuo Guangxian, He Renlong and others were all demoted to the third level, and they were guilty of handling the affairs of suppressing thieves.

Sun Chuanting blamed the loss of aid and cut his rank, and Hong Chengchou was also punished.

And the current situation is even worse than the original process, Li Zicheng is now victorious one after another, with great momentum, breaking through the siege and fighting for thousands of miles.

I'm afraid that this time the punishment of the imperial court will be much more serious than in the original process.

The course of history has been completely transformed......

Li Zicheng crossed the Guanshan Mountain again and advanced into Sichuan again, catching everyone off guard.

In the continuous movement warfare, the Ming troops who were attacking from all directions were already exhausted by the repeated rush, and ten percent of the combat strength was afraid that seventy percent could not be exerted.

On the contrary, the Liukou held the initiative on the battlefield, with many cavalry, and had much more time to rest than the Ming army.

This time, Li Zicheng was afraid that he would not be beaten by Sun Chuanting again, and only eighteen horsemen remained, and then fled into Shangluo Mountain in embarrassment......

Chen Wang waved his hand and withdrew the messenger.

Li Zicheng led his troops into Sichuan again, he didn't need to consider these issues, he just needed to hold Hanzhong Mansion.

Hong Chengchou did not recruit him again, but let him continue to sit in Hanzhong Mansion, and his task was to defend Hanzhong Mansion and protect the safety of King Rui.

Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao were already leading the troops towards Qipanguan, chasing after them.

After the messenger had departed, the atmosphere in the tent remained dreary.

Not because the period is approaching and I am worried about demotion, but because I am too tired.

For more than half a year, I traveled thousands of miles to and from northern Sichuan and southern Shaanxi, fighting several battles, and I was not iron-clad, so how could I not feel tired.

"Chen Gong."

Chen Wang turned his gaze and looked at Chen Gong.

Chen Gong was leaning back on his seat at this time, drowsy, and he instantly regained consciousness when he heard Chen Wang's shout.

"Humble duty!"

Chen Gong came back to his senses and hurriedly got up and hugged his fists in response.

"Forget it......"

Chen Wang thought about it, but decided to let Chen Gong stay in Hanzhong.

"I'll go to Shiquan, you stay in Hanzhong to control the tribes, don't make any trouble."

"What is the eldest brother doing in Stone Spring?"

Chen Gong sobered up a lot, and when he heard Shi Quan, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and asked with some doubts.

"See someone."

Chen Wang's words are concise and to the point.

"An important person."

……

East of Shiquan City, Han Zhongwei right thousand households in the city.

Chen Wang took more than 100 guards and rode one person and two horses lightly, and it only took three days to arrive at Shiquan.

At dusk on the third day, the walls of the city had already appeared in front of Chen Wang's eyes.

Chen Wang stood on the high slope of Ma and overlooked the city in front of him.

When he left Shiquan at the beginning of March last year, the walls of the outer city had not yet been built, but the buildings inside the city had not yet been completed.

It has been almost a full year since I returned to Shiquan again, and the walls of the outer city of the city have been built.

When Chen Wang led a group of guards to the western suburbs of Suocheng, the avenue was already full of soldiers from Suocheng who had come to greet him.

All the officers of the guards, the officers of all sizes, were standing in the cold wind at this time.

Wang Yuankang was wearing a scarlet round-necked robe and a black gauze hat standing at the front of the crowd, and his scarlet robe was extremely conspicuous among everyone.

The cold wind eroded the bones, but everyone's faces did not have the slightest impatience, and they all stood on the road and waited quietly.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and someone shouted with sharp eyes looking into the distance

"The Chief Soldier is here!"

When everyone heard the sound, they all raised their eyes and looked into the distance.

In the next moment, the sound of hurried horses' hooves came from afar.

In the line of sight, just in the distance of the official road ahead, a group of about 100 cavalry was galloping in the direction of the city.
