Zhang Dashou, who was not involved in mud, was ordered to rush to support Ansai City. However, when they arrived, Li Jiasheng had already entered Ansai, and Lou Daji also lined up in the south of Ansai City to meet the enemy. It can be said that Lou Daji and others set up their formations and were waiting for the peasant army to hit him here. Zhang Dashou, who was eager to retake Ansai City, did not notice this, and his troops plunged into the ambush circle set up in Lou Daji.

At noon, the officers and soldiers attacked Zhang Dashou's troops from three directions, forcing Zhang Dashou to a deserted town outside the city. At this time, Zhang Dashou's situation was very dangerous, and if he was not careful, he might be eaten by the officers and soldiers. After learning about Zhang Dashou's situation, Zhang Cunmeng had to turn over to support Zhang Dashou. Zhang Cunmeng had a very good relationship with Zhang Dashou in private. In order to save Zhang Dashou, Zhang Cunmeng even led the troops to fight. After two hours of fierce battle, he finally tore a hole in the southwest corner.

With a gap, Zhang Dashou led the remaining soldiers to flee in a hurry and fled all the way to Yan'an City. Zhang Dashou survived, but the plan to retake Ansai City was completely shattered.

The officers and soldiers occupied Ansai City and radiated to the surroundings, posing a huge threat to the rear of the peasant army. At this time, if Wang Ziyong gave up Yan'an Prefecture, concentrated his troops to retreat south, and defended the territory in the south, the pressure would not be too great. But Wang Ziyong made the same mistake as Wu Yangui, that was, he did not want to abandon Yan'an Prefecture. Wang Ziyong did not give up, which directly led to the need to distribute many troops to deal with Lou Daji and others.

For a time, the situation in northern Shaanxi became subtle again. Although Zhang Dashou's plan to retake Ansai City was frustrated, the main force did not suffer much loss. Similarly, Lou Daji and Li Jiasheng's border troops were not able to attack south on a large scale. If Zhang Dashou had been destroyed before, the peasant army would be in chaos in a short period of time and it would be okay to attack southward. Unfortunately, Zhang Dashou ran away, and even Zhang Cunmeng could not stay.

After all, Lou Daji and Li Jiasheng have too few troops. If there are more than 5,000 troops, it is guaranteed that Zhang Dashou will never return. If the troops are insufficient, blame the court or the general of his own?

The court had difficulties with the court, and Xuanfu and Datong Mansion were also facing tremendous pressure. The Mongols in the north were frequently mobilized. Although Tiemo's Yunfu soldiers were at the forefront, Xuanfu and Datong Mansion were also ready to help Yunfu at any time. At this time, it was already very difficult for Xuanfu and Datong Mansion to split up 6,000 troops into Shaanxi.

Li Jiasheng was the most anxious. He was full of cavalry under his command, and people ate horses and chewed them. After a day, it was heartbreaking to spend food and grass alone. The court only gave him half a month of supplies, and the rest had to be found by himself.

"Brother Lou and Brother Deng, we can only find a way to solve the troubles in front of us. If we continue to confront each other like this, it will not only waste the wolf grass, but it will not be a good thing for Xi'an Prefecture."

Deng Huaiyuan heard Li Jiasheng complaining, while fiddling with the knife in his hand. After a while, he smiled bitterly: "Brother Li, you know you are anxious, but what's the use of being anxious? We only have so many soldiers and horses in our hands. It's already the limit to defending the front line of Ansai City. We are powerless to attack Yan'an Prefecture. We are more anxious than you. If the food and grass are gone, the court will not care about it. We can only think of ourselves. It's not like you, at least I have Brother Tie to help you."

"Ahem, I can't say that. Although my brother has a lot of supplies and many places to use. He just captured Tumochuan, Abadai was restless and might have to use troops to the north at any time."

Lou Daji knocked on the table, rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Old Li, don't rush to speak for that guy. Don't worry, we didn't want to raise food and grass for him. But, if you get the benefits from that, at least we can share with us. Our Xuanfu and Datongfu are moving forward and retreating, and we don't want to eat alone."

"Okay, okay, okay," Li Jiasheng waved his hand, sat down, and said a little boredly: "To be honest, are you really planning to do nothing?"

When talking about the serious matter, Lou Daji frowned and became much more serious. "Of course, we can't waste this with the bandits like this. So, no matter what, we have to find a way to get a reinforcement. As long as there are enough troops, we can use troops against Yan'an City. I believe that as long as Zhang Da is defeated and General Cao's pressure will be greatly reduced, and it will be much easier to deal with Gao Yingxiang's attack."

"Reinforcements? But where are there reinforcements?"

"This is not a headache for us, it is a matter that the people in the court should worry about. Anyway, we report it in fact, everything depends on what Yang Shishi and the court meant."

After saying that, Lou Daji considered the wording and sent an urgent official document to the capital. At the same time, he also sent someone to Yan'an Prefecture to tell Yang He about the matter.

......

The official documents from Ansai City were delivered to the capital, almost for a long time, and Yang He's official documents also arrived. Although they were two official documents, they all talked about the same thing, that is, asking for reinforcements. If there were not enough reinforcements, they could only maintain the current situation and eliminate civil unrest, which was equivalent to dreaming. Especially the official documents from Lou Daji, which not only required reinforcements, but also food and grass. In short, if there was not enough food and grass, in order to avoid the morale of the army and being used by the bandits, the border troops would withdraw back to their jurisdiction.

Damn, this Lou Daji is too arrogant. It is clearly a threat to the court. Food and grass? It is food and grass again!

As a general of the Ming border army, shouldn’t you be loyal and patriotic and never retreat if you fight to the death? Not to mention food and grass, even if you fight one soldier and one soldier, the court will not let you retreat, you cannot retreat. At least, this is what most people in the court think.

The reinforcements were discussed in the court. Wang Qiao, the Minister of War, was immediately furious, "The reinforcements, can't they find a way to solve them by themselves? If you look for anything, what is the use of asking them for? As the governor of the three sides, Yang He did not solve the problem and went to the court for everything. How did he, the governor of the three sides?"

Qian Longxi, Li Tong, Zhang Fengyi and others all nodded slightly, which was considered to be consistent with Wang Qia's opinion.

I have to say that most people in the court still lack sufficient understanding of Shaanxi. In their opinion, if you use a little snack, you can’t solve some problems by yourself?

But in fact, they didn't know how serious the situation in Shaanxi was. There was no land there. After a few months of planting the land, it was robbed by others before it was ripe. Yang He had not thought about farming, but now there was no chance of farming in Shaanxi. In just half a year, there was no enough rest and regaining vitality. It can be said that in Shaanxi now, except for the deaths in many people, everything else has to be supported by the outside world.
