Chapter 204: Confusion in the Heart

A while ago, due to someone's false military order, the Ming army suffered a major defeat, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses and a general soldier were broken!

To find out who is behind the scenes, it will not happen overnight!

Under the calm appearance, Wang Li was already upset; Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen also added fuel to the fire - unexpectedly, several historians were sent!

In the name of beauty, it is said that the feat of the Governor Wang to exterminate the thieves is truthfully recorded, so that the ministers can follow suit and set an example for future generations!

Such an excuse, Wang Li is difficult to oppose!

After all, the historian is not a eunuch who supervises the army, and he does not participate in any major military affairs, but just records them truthfully!

I always feel that with Zhu Youzhen's IQ, I would never think of sending officials to come!

It is very likely that it was done by the civil officials in the DPRK and China!

They hold themselves too high and too high, dreaming of falling from a great height and stepping on it again!

The most annoying thing is that Hong Chengchou also touted himself in front of the historian!

The previous "trapped thieves in Guanzhong" and "Xiao Guan blocked the enemy" were blown by him!

Last month's fiasco was described by him as "Ai Wannian acted without listening to the command, and then he was ambushed by the thieves!" ”

Now, the encirclement east of the Yellow River has begun to take shape, and it has been blown to the sky by Hong Chengchou!

It's as if the leaders of all the thieves have been captured alive!

"Gonggong, Governor Hong said good things about you in front of the historian, isn't this what it should be, why are you angry?"

"Damn!"

Wang Li glanced at Song Zhe, he couldn't say anything!

In his opinion, Hong Chengchou is too cunning!

The civil officials in the court boasted about themselves in order to put themselves to death; And Hong Chengchou touted himself because he was helping him with thunder!

That's right, it's to help him fight the thunder!

This guy is the governor of the three sides, and he has been suppressing thieves for more than six years, and the thieves have indeed killed a lot, but the thieves are getting more and more intense!

In the future, if Zhu Youzhen comes to his senses, at the right time, he is likely to be dismissed and investigated!

Now, he is his boss!

If the thieves in the provinces are exterminated, he Hong Chengchou can take the opportunity to get naked;

If the thief is not effective, the first person Zhu Youzhen will punish must be himself, not him Hong Chengchou!

This is not helping him to resist the thunder, what is it?

For the person who helped the top thunder, he would definitely not say bad things!

The historian, although he doesn't say a word in the tent and doesn't talk about military aircraft, he is more difficult than the eunuchs who supervise the army!

Especially, in this Ming Dynasty, which values integrity!

Even in front of the emperor, they dare to "write a book and not hide their flaws" - they would rather be killed than "write their things straight"!

Therefore, if you want to bribe a historian, it is even more difficult to get them to say a few kind words than to ascend to the sky!

Alack!

Now it's fun!

With the historian by his side, if there is any more mistakes, he will be stinking for 10,000 years!

……

"Report ...... Governor Wang: Cao Dingjiao sent an urgent message: the cavalry troops pursuing the thieves will kill 1,500 enemies on the Luochuan line!

Because there are no more thieves on the front line of Luochuan, they are looking for them with all their might! ”

I'll go!

After killing the enemy one thousand and five, there are no more thieves?

More than 300,000 thieves wandered around the mountains for more than a month, and only 1,000 and 5 were left?

Are you guys playing me?

Hearing this, Wang Li hurriedly took the letter!

After reading it, I was so angry that I trembled!

Noticing the historian in the tent, he calmed down and picked up the bowl of tea.

In my heart, I scolded my mother!

Is Cao Dingjiao and Cao Bianjiao too stupid, or are the thieves too cunning?

Let you pursue along the way and drive the thieves in the direction of the Yellow River, the military order is very clear!

Now you tell me that the thieves who have been chasing for so many days are not the main force?

You have fallen for the tricks of thieves, and you have spoken so freshly and refinedly?

Am I really a fool?

I'll it!

Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, where did they go?

Isn't the encirclement I laid early along the Yellow River a joke?

"Factory Gong, Cao Dingjiao and Cao Bianjiao are brave and good at fighting, and when they encounter the enemy, they will be the first!

However, these two are too young after all!

Or, let Cao Wenzhao go into the mountains to search? ”

"No need!" Wang Li shook his head, looked at the historian in the tent, gritted his teeth and said, "Since the thieves are hiding in the mountains, the various departments are still standing still and waiting for the changes!"

Order, let Cao Dingjiao and Cao Bianjiao expand the search area!

As soon as you find the main force of the thieves, report it immediately! ”

"Whoa!"

The herald left, and Wang Li picked up the bowl of tea and took a sip gently.

I was panicked, but I covered it up very well!

On the surface, he is still calm and confident!

At this moment, what else can be done except to wait and see?

Cao Wenzhao's cavalry, patrolling the northern part of the Guanzhong Plain, can it still be transferred?

Going into the mountains to find it seems like a good idea!

But dare they go into the mountains?

With a range of more than 700 miles, only 3,000 cavalry patrols are already stretched!

If he enters the mountains and the thieves return to Guanzhong from somewhere, how can I have soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress?

At this time, Cao Wenyao is on the front line of Yansui, and Song Xi is on the front line of Chengcheng and Haoyang, and they can't be taken away!

Otherwise, the north and south directions of the encirclement will fall apart - and it will undoubtedly be impossible to drive the thieves to the east bank of the Yellow River!

Damn Hong Chengchou!

In front of the historians, the plan of the "Yellow River Siege and Annihilation Battle" was blown to the sky!

Now it's fun!

The thieves are gone, surround and annihilate a fart!

Now the question is, how do you get me out of power?

Alas!

This "Governor of the Five Provinces to Suppress Thieves" is really a pit!

In order to fish for a few more years, I can only jump into the fire pit!

"Factory ......"

Song Zhe wanted to speak and stopped, and made a vague gesture, Wang Li was overjoyed!

Legend has it that Chen Qiyu, who is good at planning, has finally arrived!

What if I can turn the tide and reward you with a few millions?

Belch...... If you really can't do it, you can help me kill Li Zicheng!

……

"It's just that I'm too greedy, careless, and made a big mistake, which is irreparable!"

At the same time, Chen Qiyu's face was full of remorse, unwillingness, gratitude, and expectation!

"Silver, there is no need; It's too far away! Chen Qiyu smiled indifferently, took a deep breath, and continued: "If you can help the factory to eliminate the thieves, it can be regarded as making up for it!" ”

Knowing the deployment of the Ming army from all walks of life, Chen Qiyu was disappointed again: "Factory Father, please forgive me for being blunt: it is almost impossible to completely exterminate the thieves!" ”

"Uh...... Should...... It won't be too hard! Wang Li thought for a while, and smiled nonchalantly: "I brought eight brocade guards, and another 10,000 ironclad brocade guards!"

Coupled with the 40,000 recruits of Yang Sichang and Sun Chuanting, we also have 102,000 people, which can be regarded as enough soldiers, right?

This kind of strength is probably even better than when you suppressed the thieves last year!

And the thieves, who have been hiding in the mountains for more than two months, have long since collapsed;

The cavalry that Gao Yingxiang was proud of had also dispersed!

As long as you plan carefully, as long as you grasp the opportunity, it won't be too difficult to capture the leaders of all walks of life alive, right? ”

"No, you didn't understand what I meant!"

Chen Qiyu picked up the tea bowl, but did not bring it to his mouth, and glared at Wang Li: "Factory father, how should you judge the "completely exterminate the thieves" in your mouth?"

Capture alive or behead the leaders of the thieves?

Or, appease or kill all the thieves? ”

"Well...... Hey hey ......"

Wang Li secretly laughed and did not say anything.

Chen Qiyu sighed lightly and continued to test Wang Li's attitude: "In my opinion, if the natural disasters continue, if the relief of the imperial court cannot be sustained, the thieves will never stop!" ”

"Governor Chen, your words are indeed good!" Wang Li nodded, smiling rather than smiling: "If you say that killing Li Zicheng is a success in suppressing the thief, will you believe it?" ”

"Really? I'm just a prisoner, not a governor anymore! ”

Chen Qiyu smiled indifferently, there were too many things to ask, but there was no way to speak!

Or rather, don't dare to speak!

The Wang Li in front of him is really a bit mysterious and terrifying!

I heard that seven years ago, he was looking for Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng!

Could he not have predicted the prophet?

Even a court criminal like Yuan Chonghuan dares to rob, what kind of purpose does he have?

The royal family in Sichuan was killed by him, who gave him the guts?

There is no thief in Sichuan, but he told a big lie to the court, he is really not afraid of losing his head?

With his ability, if he wanted to rebel, he would have succeeded a long time ago!

But why, and how respectful is he to the emperor?

If he said that he was for his own selfishness, why did he remember the war in Liaodong? Why do you pay out of your own pocket to suppress thieves?

The fruitful results of the two years of Sichuan's reform have been seen by Chen Qiyu with his own eyes!

Could it be that the emperor really wants to change the law drastically?

Could it be that getting rid of the King of Shu in Sichuan was instructed by the emperor?

Could it be that "Sichuan is occupied by thieves" is a cover-up for some purpose?

There are so many questions!

It's just that I'm just a criminal official, and it's good to save the lives of the whole family!

There are many things, so don't ask!

Chen Qiyu blew the tea leaves in the bowl, smelled the rich fragrance of tea, and half-closed his eyes:

"I still say the same thing, wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows!

If the natural disasters continue, if the relief of the imperial court cannot be sustained, the thieves will not stop!

Li Zicheng is just one of the "thirteen" thieves!

Even if you capture and kill Li Zicheng, or even Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng, Luo Rucai and Gao Yingxiang, so what?

After Li Zicheng, there will be Zhao Zicheng, Qian Zicheng, Sun Zicheng, and Li Zicheng...... Belch...... That's right, it's Li Zicheng......"

Chen Qiyu was slightly embarrassed and didn't say anything more.

Actually, Wang Li didn't care about these details!

Wang Li fully understands Chen Qiyu's words and deeply agrees!

However, in my heart, I am always very conflicted!

I want to capture and kill Li Zicheng, but I am just trying to change history and strive to make a few more years of silver!

It's really hard to predict where history will eventually go, and whether your actions will be right or wrong!

Because......

The Xiaoice period, I don't know how long it will last!

Even if a huge amount of money is invested in helping the people of the five provinces, even if the thieves are completely exterminated, and even Huang Taiji is killed, so what?

With Zhu Youzhen's character and the officialdom situation of the Ming Dynasty, the world will be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time?

Are you sure that there will be no larger war?

History, will indeed develop in a better direction?

Who can guarantee that your own actions against the sky are right?

When I think about this, my head hurts badly!

Actually, I'm just a scumbag, and I don't have that much ambition and ability!

In this troubled world, I just want to make some money!

I just want to have a group of wives and concubines, and a full house of children and grandchildren!

I just want to be carefree and have a good time!

As long as these ideals are accomplished, it will be in vain!

Being an official, a prince, or even an emperor, I'm really not interested!

"Report ...... Factory Gong: The Jinyi Guard led by Liu Dong, the pacification envoy, encountered the main force of thieves in Yanshui Pass!

He pursued with General Lu and Cao Wenyao, fought for three days, and killed more than 20,000 thieves!

Today, the thieves are retreating westward into the mountains, and the general soldiers of all walks of life are pursuing them with all their might! ”

Ha!

God help me!

Unexpectedly, the thieves got rid of Cao Dingjiao and Cao Bianjiao, but they didn't escape from their encirclement!

Wang Li forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and ordered: "Give Hong Chengchou an order, let him quickly lead the troops north, and do his best to help suppress it!"

Inform the whole army: Those who take Li Zicheng's head will be rewarded with three million taels of silver! ”

"Whoa!"

After reading the map, Chen Qiyu gave a heartfelt thumbs up: "Governor Wang has planned carefully, and the "Yellow River Siege and Annihilation Battle" has been a great success, which is gratifying!

However, this area is the hometown of thieves from all walks of life!

They are so familiar with the terrain that it's hard to catch them all!

In my opinion, the poor don't chase it! ”

Wang Li frowned slightly, and Chen Qiyu hurriedly explained: "Pursuing the thieves in the lofty mountains, it is difficult to supply the grain and grass of our army, and it is easy to fall into an ambush!"

Now that you have found the main force of the thieves, you should guard the passes and key roads everywhere and surround them!

They can't stay in the mountains, and sooner or later they will come out to look for food, and I'm just waiting for work! ”

"What Governor Chen said is very true, I am indeed too anxious!"

Wang Li smiled embarrassedly, hurriedly recalled the messengers, pointed to the map again, and asked, "According to Governor Chen's wishes, how should the soldiers and horses be deployed?" ”
