"Li Yan, this thief, is different from other thieves."

Yang Sichang's expression was solemn, whether it was Wang Jiayin, the former leader of the Liukou Alliance, or Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang, who took over later, or Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and other leaders.

They were either post men, soldiers, generals, merchants and landlords, and their status was high and low.

But none of them can compare with Li Yan.

The Li clan in Qixian County is the home of the eunuchs, and its clan has a wide reputation in the local area, so after Li Yan's rebellion, it was able to rise up quickly.

And then Li Yan's actions also confirmed his extraordinary.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Yang Sichang already planned to let Chen Wang lead his troops north and go to Henan Province to quell the turmoil.

Now the situation on the three sides is complicated, Li Zicheng suddenly moved westward, and the soldiers and horses of the three sides pursued all the way under the leadership of Zheng Chongjian, and they were entangled with it.

The soldiers and horses of the southwestern provinces were also exhausted because of Zhang Xianzhong's reasons, and the five battalions of Gezuo in the Ying and Huoshan mountains contained the soldiers and horses of the southeastern provinces.

In the north, Jiannu has been preparing to move recently, and the Mongolian tribes are not stable, and the soldiers and horses in the northern towns are naturally unable to be mobilized.

Although Henan is located in the center and close to the towns, there is no way to draw out extra troops to rush to the aid for a while.

Now the closest army to Henan is still in combat power, and only the Hanzhong soldiers under Chen Wang's command remain.

Chen Wang understood Yang Sichang's desire to appoint him to go north to quell the rebellion, and his expression was solemn at the moment, and he listened respectfully.

"Please also ask the cabinet to show me."

Yang Sichang saw Chen Wang's calm and calm mind, sitting upright, with an attitude of humbly listening to teaching, and he was even more optimistic in his heart.

"Li Yan was born in a family of eunuchs, and he read poetry and books, and the disaster caused by it was several times more intense than that of Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang in the past."

The rogues plundered everywhere, did not produce, burned everywhere, and only cared about the present, not the future. ”

But Li Yan did not follow the same path that other rogues followed.

"Li Yan wantonly released grain in Henan, invited people to buy people's hearts, and sang songs and ballads to promote his name, and the hungry people in Henan were like the hope of a great drought, and they were even afraid that Li Yan would not come."

Li Yan broke the prefecture and county, occupied the city, took in the hungry, opened a warehouse to help the hungry, and bought people's hearts.

The hungry people from near and far are hoeing, and those who respond are like flowing water, day and night, calling for millions, and the trend of the people's change is like a fire on the prairie fire.

Li Yan made up and sang nursery rhymes, let the children sing them everywhere, and sent people to disguise themselves as businessmen, travelers, and homeless people to spread the rumors to all directions.

The world calls Li Yanzun Li Gongzi, and recognizes the soldiers and horses under Li Yan's command as a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and an army that relieves all people.

Therefore, Li Yan directly called the army under his command the Wanmin Army.

Now the name of the People's Army has spread all over the nine provinces of Henan.

"Li Yan organized the army under his command into five battalions, one is called the standard battalion, there are more than 8,000 people, all of them are cavalry, and the other is the front, rear, left and right four battalions, each with tens of thousands of people."

"Different from the chaos of the Liukou, Li Yan's subordinates are well-trained, practicing golden drums and queues, and their ranks in the army are the same as those of the Jiubian Battalion Town."

Yang Sichang's expression was solemn, and the information sent from Henan made it difficult for him to stretch his eyebrows.

"The Wanmin Army ordered a serious order, broke through Dengfeng, and did not commit any crime in the autumn."

Chen Wang's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he heard this, even he couldn't help but be a little moved.

Qiu did not commit any crimes, how heavy the weight of these four words was, Chen Wang couldn't be clearer when he led the troops.

A glimpse of the whole leopard, based on this alone, you can know how strong Li Yan's ability to command troops is.

Talking about the chaos in Henan, the haze in Yang Sichang's heart is even worse.

"Now all the rogues in Henan Province also faintly respect Li Yan as the leader, Li Yan broke Dengfeng, and then he lingered, and the rogues from all over the country are going to Dengfeng to gather."

Li Yan is in Henan, like a flag.

Li Yan has now left Qixian in Kaifeng Prefecture, marched all the way west, passed through Xuzhou and Xiangcheng, broke Dengfeng, and rushed from Kaifeng Mansion to Henan Prefecture.

Because of the failure of the officers and soldiers in Henan, there were constantly popular uprisings in some places, and the rogues who had died down in various places also flourished again.

There is news that these rogues and the people's army, they are all converging towards Dengfeng.

Li Yan stopped in Dengfeng, and seemed to have issued an order to summon.

Such an obviously abnormal behavior was naturally extremely wrong, and it also made Yang Sichang smell of danger.

Dengfeng is located in the southeast of Henan, and the two most important cities in Henan Province - Luoyang and Kaifeng are on the left and right.

Chen Wang's expression was solemn, suppressing the essence in the depths of his eyes.

Yang Sichang's Dengfeng, the familiar name of the place, made him recall the historical record in an instant.

In the original time and space, the leading troops defeated the officers and soldiers of Henan all the way, and it was none other than Li Zicheng who finally gathered troops in Dengfeng.

And not long after Li Zicheng was in the Dengfeng Conference in Henan, he did an earth-shattering event.

Li Zicheng broke through Luoyang and killed the blessed king Zhu Changxun......

Because of his own reasons, the butterfly effect changed the course of history, and Li Zicheng is still in the northwest, which eventually led to Li Yan's self-reliance.

Although there is no Li Zicheng now, Li Yan's route to march overlaps with Li Zicheng in history.

Chen Wang's heart turned a thousand times, such a route and way of marching, Li Yan's goal is probably Luoyang nine times out of ten.

Perhaps the strategy of capturing Luoyang in history was proposed by Li Yan, which can explain why Li Yan is now also such a marching route.

Chen Wang was calm, and his gaze quietly swept over Yang Sichang's face.

At this time, Yang Sichang's face was full of worry.

"Now the situation in Henan is dangerous, the situation is great, and the urgency is like fire......"

Yang Sichang groaned for a while, then turned his head, turned to Chen Wang, and finally asked bluntly.

"I want to transfer you north to quell the rebellion, I don't know how sure you are."

Although Chen Wang's talent is outstanding and his martial arts are outstanding, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and most of the soldiers and horses under his command are newly recruited.

To let Chen Wang deal with Li Yan, who is now in the limelight, and a group of big men in Henan, Yang Sichang feels that it is not safe enough, so he naturally wants to ask.

"The last general has a limited understanding of the situation in Henan and does not dare to boast."

Chen Wang's mind turned, he knew that it was because the strength of the Hanzhong Paperweight under his command was not strong, so Yang Sichang was worried.

The reinforcement battalion under the command of Chen Gong and Zhou Yumao is now staying in Hanzhong Mansion in order to protect the safety of King Rui and Hanzhong Mansion.

Now there are only more than 5,500 soldiers and horses under Chen Wang's command, which was originally 5,000, and the extra 500 are the family members under Chen Hongfan's command.

Counting the two battalions of Zhang Er and Huanglong, as well as 3,000 native soldiers, and 2,000 subordinates under Wang Guoning, there are more than 13,000 people in total.

In the battle to encircle and suppress Wang Guoning, most of the soldiers killed were Huguang soldiers and horses who originally belonged to Chen Hongfan's management belt.

On paper, most of the data are recruits with limited combat power.

And Chen Wang is naturally not stupid enough to reveal all the details, Yang Sichang asked like this, just so that he can justifiably ask for some benefits.

And this is Yang Sichang who took the initiative to ask, and he also saved a lot of trouble.

"According to the cabinet department, the situation in Henan is complicated, and the strength of each battalion has suffered a great loss.

Before you want benefits, you must naturally explain the difficulties first.

Yang Sichang's expression was serious, and his brows frowned slightly.

"Henan thieves are swarming, rogue is rampant, and the momentum is huge, which is indeed different from the past."

Yang Sichang naturally knows the problem that Chen Wang said, otherwise there would not be such a question, and the information sent from all over Henan is indeed not optimistic.

"I remember that after Chen Hongfan left his post, the soldiers and horses under his command were settled in Zhu and Fang."

Hearing the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, Yang Sichang mentioned Chen Hongfan, Chen Wang already understood the meaning of Yang Sichang's words, and it seems that Yang Sichang intends to hand over the command of this army to him.

Among the old departments under Chen Hongfan, the sequences that belonged to Huguangying Town were basically soldiers from Huguang.

Huguang has been peaceful for a long time, but in recent years, it has been affected by the war, and most of the Huguang soldiers are still mediocre because of this.

However, the troops under the command of Chen Hongfan are an exception, although their combat strength is not comparable to that of the generals of the Nine Sides, but they can also be called superior among the inland camps.

The main barracks directly led by Chen Hongfan can be regarded as elite even if it is placed on the nine sides.

Chen Wang suppressed the surging thoughts in his heart and replied.

"Back to the Cabinet Department, the old department under the command of General Chen Hongfan did still stay in the bamboo and Fang, and when the last general was ordered by the cabinet department to encircle and suppress the kingdom's Ning Department, he was also recruited."

Yang Sichang pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"The rogues in Yunyang Mansion are cleared, and the two thieves Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai have entered Sichuan, and there is no need to leave so many soldiers and horses in Yunyang Mansion."

"Henan is turbulent, the rogue is rampant, the soldiers and horses under your command alone are indeed not enough to deal with the current situation, if you add the old department under Chen Hongfan There are still more than 7,000 people, can you be sure?"

Chen Wang's eyes moved slightly, his brows frowned slightly, and his face was thoughtful, as if he was considering.

Chen Wang knew very well that he couldn't respond immediately, pretend to think first, and then agree, so as to win Yang Sichang's trust.

After a while, Chen Wang replied.

"If you add more than 7,000 people under Chen Hongfan's command, there will be a seventy percent chance that the situation in Henan can be stabilized."

"Okay."

"Good!"

Yang Sichang's face really showed a smile.

Chen Wang's speculation about Yang Sichang's psychology was not wrong.

If Chen Wang agreed, Yang Sichang might think that Chen Wang was talking big or had something else in mind.

However, Chen Wang answered the question after thinking about it, and when he answered, he was very measured, he did not exaggerate, and he said it very conservatively, which proved that he was indeed thinking about counterinsurgency.

"The overall situation of Henan cannot afford to be lost, and this important task is entrusted to you, so you must be cautious."

After receiving Chen Wang's affirmative answer, Yang Sichang's mind relaxed a lot, and Yang Sichang finally made up his mind.

Chen Wang suppressed all the floating emotions in his heart, stood up, took a step back, bowed to Yang Sichang, and answered in a deep voice.

"The cabinet is entrusted with heavy responsibilities, and the last general Chen Wang will do his best to live up to expectations!"
