Zhao Ru Sect is not stupid. Although he is temporarily on Sun Chuanting's side, he is actually the same grasshopper on the same rope as Tiemo. If Tiemo is unlucky, Zhao Ru Sect will never have a good life.
Seeing that Qin Liangyu was still hesitating, Zhao Shujiao sighed: "General Qin, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the millions of people in Bashu. As far as Zhao knows, in the past two years, the food is bad, and life is not easy. General Qin asked the court for money and food several times, but there is news? Isn't General Qin worried? This time it is an opportunity. As long as we cooperate with the Supervisor to fight the Nanzhili battle, we will have money and food, and the Supervisor will also find a way to get a lot of life-saving medicinal materials for the general."
Seeing Qin Liangyu's expression was solemn and he didn't reply, Zhao Rujiao frowned and said seriously: "Zhao knew what General Qin was worried about, but General thought about it, is it important to overcome the current difficulties? Or is it important to make things difficult for the court in the future?"
Qin Liangyu's whole body trembled, and his hesitant head had a little more clarity. Yes, why did he become confused at this time? Even if the court is dissatisfied, it is a matter of later. The most important thing is that it is to get enough money and food to allow millions of Shu people and their tribe members to overcome difficulties.
After a while, Qin Liangyu stood up and bowed to Zhao Rujiao, "General Zhao, it's Qin who is confused. Fortunately, you wake up, otherwise you may have to miss the big thing. Qin agreed to the previous incident, but... what the supervisor guarantees..."
"Haha" Seeing Qin Liangyu agreeing, Zhao Rujiao was overjoyed and stood up and said, "General Qin can rest assured about this. Zhao has had several dealings with the supervisor, and the supervisor's words are still credible. No matter what, since the supervisor promises to give you a batch of food, he can definitely say it. General Qin has such concerns, and I am afraid that he doesn't understand the supervisor's details."
The Shanxi merchants and the powerful men of the Northern Zhili were standing behind the Iron Supervisors. Just one blessing is worthy of countless wealth. I dare not say anything else, but it is absolutely no problem to say that it is to support Qin Liangyu with some money and food.
After Zhao Ruyu and Qin Liangyu completed the detailed discussion, they immediately compiled a letter and sent people to Luzhou Prefecture. At the same time, they began to call Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu, asking for leave. The army was in a state of trivial matters, so naturally they could not hide it from Sun Chuanting. After learning that Qin Liangyu and Zhao Ruyu were about to leave Nanyang Prefecture, Sun Chuanting was suddenly a little anxious. At noon the next day, Sun Chuanting hurried to Zhao Ruyu's residence. Seeing that Zhao Ruyu's personal guards were loading supplies, he pushed the door and walked in, and ignored whether there were anyone around him. He asked with an angry expression: "General Zhao, the army packed their luggage and intended to travel far away. What do you mean? Do you know that without a transfer order, it is a death sentence for private transfer?"
Zhao Rujiao was very unhappy. Strictly speaking, he was not Sun Chuanting's subordinate. He questioned this in front of everyone, but he did not have any feelings at all. He locked his eyebrows and gestured to Wu Sangui and others. After everyone walked out of the room, he asked Sun Chuanting to sit down and say slowly: "Sir Sun, this time he sent troops, he was ordered by the Iron Supervisor. How could there be no order to be transferred?"
Sun Chuanting wanted to refute, but he swallowed it back when he said that. Strictly speaking, both sides are two systems and do not belong to each other. Tie Mo was appointed by His Majesty and the six ministries of the Cabinet did not recognize it very much, but it was enough to understand this kind of thing privately, but it could not be said in public. These are secondary. The most important thing is that Sun Chuanting has always believed that Tie Mo was too selfish and was very displeased. Now Tie Mo did not say hello and was transferred here, so his opinion would be even greater.
"I will definitely report to the court for this matter. General Qin, do you have the same idea as General Zhao?" Sun Chuanting looked at Qin Liangyu with a complicated expression. In his heart, he always felt that Qin Liangyu should not be incompatible with Zhao Rujiao.
Qin Liangyu herself admired Sun Chuanting and was even more loyal to the court, but the situation in front of her forced her to make a choice for the time being. After hesitating, hesitating, and taking a step forward, facing Sun Chuanting's sharp gaze, she bowed and said, "Mr. Sun, Qin is sorry."
"You..." Sun Chuanting didn't expect Qin Liangyu to say this. For a moment, he was angry and climbed up his eyebrows. Zhao Lujiao took the lead and said: "Mr. Sun, if you have any dissatisfaction with us, you can submit the court. We will accept the beating and punishment. But now, Lord Sun doesn't need to persuade him anymore. I have decided to go to Nanzhili."
Sun Chuanting snorted coldly, his expression a little gloomy, but in the end, he left the camp angrily. He knew very well that with the departure of Zhao Rujiao and Qin Liangyu, it was almost impossible to make any progress in Funiu Mountain and Baofeng City.
Zhao Ruojiao set out to Nanzhili, and Cao Wenzhao's troops stationed in the southwest of Luoyang also left the Henan battlefield, rushing all the way to Nanzhili. Compared to Zhao Ruojiao, Cao Wenzhao was much smoother. Chen Qiyu knew about Cao Wenzhao's relationship with Tie Mo, so he couldn't stop this matter, so he turned a blind eye. However, Chen Qiyu was not stupid, Cao Wenzhao could go, but Liu Yingyu could not move. Liu Yingyu originally wanted to lead half of the troops and horses to go with him, but was suppressed by Chen Qiyu's order.
Faced with Chen Qiyu's strict order, Liu Yingyu had no choice. In the final analysis, he and Cao Wenzhao were not in the same system. Cao Wenzhao was a border army, but he was under the jurisdiction of Shaanxi soldiers and Chen Qiyu directly. In short, Liu Yingyu was very unhappy. He remembered how happy he was to fight with the Iron Supervisor in the past. Not only could he win battles, but he could also divide the spoils from time to time, and he was promoted and made a fortune. Unlike now, he was defeated everywhere and was beaten to the point of being beaten by the bandits.
On November 28, the third year of Chongzhen, Zhao led the academy, Qin Liangyu and Cao Wenzhao, the troops from the three sides gathered in the Macheng area of ​​Huguang. After the army gathered, they did not stop at all, and followed the official road to pass Guifeng Mountain and arrived in Luotian County.
Luotian is located at the junction of Huguang and Nanzhili, and is just across from Anqing Prefecture. On November 30, after a day of rest, Cao Wenzhao sent his nephew Cao Bianjiao to cross the Dafu Mountain. At that time, while the fog had not yet dissipated, he launched a fierce attack on Baisha Town in the northwest corner of Anqing Prefecture. Baisha Town is just an inconspicuous town and no one will pay attention to it on weekdays. After Gao Yingxiang led his troops to loot Anqing Prefecture, there was only a warning team of less than one hundred people left in Baisha Town. Gao Yingxiang never expected these more than a hundred people to block the enemy, as long as they could send signals in time.
Unfortunately, the fog was shrouded around on that day, and Cao Bianjiao's attack was rapid and sharp. More than a hundred people in the town were still slaughtered half of the bandits in their sleep, and the rest could not escape from the town. Cao Bianjiao's attack was very smooth. At noon, the main army crossed Dafu Mountain and completed the assembly in Baisha Town. It is said that soldiers are the most powerful. No one knows whether there are any fish that escaped the net in Baisha Town. For fear that the bandits would be prepared, Zhao led the sect to order Zuo Liangyu and Wu Sangui to attack Qianshan County.
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Wu Sangui's troops first appeared at Qianshan City. At this time, the bandits in Qianshan County did not know what happened in Baisha Town, so they were not prepared for it. Liaodong troops took advantage of the city gate and sneaked into the city gate guard. In just half an hour, the southern city gate announced that they had changed hands. However, Wu Sangui was also in a tough battle.
Qianshan County guards the rear of Anqing City, and Anqing Prefecture is the only way for the peasant army to return to the Central Plains from Nanzhili. From the beginning to the end, Gao Yingxiang and others did not think that they would stay in Nanzhili without leaving. They were determined to plunder the rich Nanzhili before returning to the Central Plains. Therefore, before leaving Anqing Prefecture, Gao Yingxiang listened to Niu Jinxing's suggestion and sent his general Heijingang He Yishan to station Anqing City. He Yishan knew that the burden was heavy and dared not relax at all. Not only did he send his deputy general Feng Cen to Qianshan, but he also stationed more than 8,000 people in Qianshan. This was almost half of He Yishan's troops. The reason for doing this was that Qianshan was very important, and on the other hand, it was that Qianshan was easier to defend and difficult to attack than Anqing City. If Qianshan was in trouble, Anqing City would most likely not be able to defend.
It can be said that He Yishan’s previous arrangement played an important role at this time. After the South City Gate was thrown away, Feng Cen made up his mind and led more than 2,000 elite troops to start a counterattack. In order to regain the South City Gate and protect Qianshan, Feng Cen was fighting his life.
Wu Sangui could only barely support him. After Zuo Liangyu's troops arrived, the two of them could only stabilize their positions, but they could only defend a little place near the South City Gate. The territory that they had seized before was taken down by the bandits had long been taken back. The two sides launched a bloody tug-of-war around the South City Gate, and the war was in a very fierce manner.
By the third day of the lunar calendar, Feng Cen had already touched her head here and suffered nearly 2,000 casualties. The officers and soldiers on the opposite side were very miserable, and the casualties were quite large, but the South City Gate was still in the hands of the officers and soldiers. On the third day of the lunar calendar, another fierce battle was another day. It was not until noon that the fierce battle began to come to an end. The main army finally arrived at Qianshan in time and launched a fierce attack on Qianshan City on the east and west sides. In this way, Feng Cen could only divide his troops to defend, and the pressure on the South City Gate was reduced sharply.
In fact, at this time, Feng Cen was also leaving the will of fate. The attacks on both sides of the east and west were all empty. What was really fatal was that the officers and soldiers were pouring in through the south city gate. Although they could still be blocked for the time being, they would collapse sooner or later. After resisting tenaciously for a long time, in the evening of that day, Feng Cen finally ordered the evacuation from the north and gave up Qianshan City. At this point, the Qianshan offensive and defensive battle that lasted for three days was finally over.
Standing at the head of Qianshan City, Zhao Rujiao and Cao Wenzhao looked at each other and smiled bitterly. It was so dangerous. Fortunately, Zuo Liangyu and Wu Sangui were able to fight. If two of them were replaced, they might not be able to last until the main army arrived. Footing the ancient city wall, Cao Wenzhao looked at the distance with a serious expression and said hoarsely: "The next thing is to see the supervisor. I hope everything goes well."
"Well, but we can't be idle either. We have to let the bandits in Anqing City know what we want!" Zhao Ruijiao touched his chin and his eyes rolled, not knowing what he was trying to make.
.........
At this time, the war was in full swing and the people were wailing. After Li Yan and Lu Weiliang's army entered Jiaxing Prefecture, the attack was very smooth. Jiaxing Prefecture was easy to attack and difficult to defend, and there were too many places to defend, so the troops were too scattered. Because of the special nature of Jiaxing Prefecture, the attack of the peasant army was very smooth. In just two days, even Yanguan Town, Haining, fell into the hands of the peasant army. After arriving at Jiaxing Prefecture, many people were boosted by the prosperity here.
The salt field, silk, boundless elegance, wealthy mansions, countless gold, silver and jewelry. Faced with layers of temptation, the military discipline that had been barely maintained finally collapsed.
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, a peasant army poured into Haining County's long street and ransacked the rich houses in the city. During this period, they not only killed people, but also committed atrocities on the maids and women. Soon, this kind of burning, killing, looting spread throughout the city. The ancient and wealthy Haining County turned into a devil's hell in half a day, filled with women's wailings.
The angry people of Haining finally couldn't bear it and began to resist spontaneously, but this resistance ushered in an even more unscrupulous massacre. By the second day of the twelfth lunar month, half of the people in Haining County were killed, and the county town was even more messy, with corpses scattered everywhere on the streets. After hearing the bad news, Li Yan rushed to Haining to try to stop this crazy behavior, but his roar was drowned in the crazy laughter of everyone.
Li Yan found that no one listened to him at this time. Those people were like being possessed by evil ghosts, with red eyes, only knowing how to kill and rob things. Facing the hellish Haining County, Li Yan closed his eyes in pain. He compiled a book and sent someone to Lin'an, but Li Zicheng, who was in Lin'an, had no expression. Not only that, the subsequent looting was even more excessive, and this robbery spread, from Haining County to Xiushui, to Yuhang, and even to Lin'an.
In the ancient city of Lin'an, the former Southern Song Dynasty palace still retains a trace of the strictest emperor. Gao Yingxiang, dressed in a grand dress, walked past the palace gate and headed towards the hall. The dragon chaise that represented the supreme authority in the hall had long been lost, and was replaced by a wooden chair painted with gold. However, in Gao Yingxiang's eyes, it was the dragon chaise, which was made of pure gold and symbolized the supreme authority. Walking up the steps, sitting slowly, looking up, and for some reason, it seemed that everything was different, and the people in front of him were different.
Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing each led more than 20 people, divided into two rows, bowed and said loudly: "Congratulations to King Chuang!"
The layers of shouts made Gao Yingxiang feel an inexplicable warmth, and his blood was boiling. At this moment, he felt that he was the real King of Rebellion. Is this the feeling? No wonder so many people have sacrificed their lives for that position for thousands of years, and some even destroyed their families and destroyed their families in order to touch that position.
