Chapter 354: Nanzhili Yingshang War

The officers and soldiers Zhu Xianzhen was defeated, and the news of the victory of the Li and Luo coalition forces reached Nanzhili. Lu Jiude, the eunuch in Nanjing in Shouzhou, did not care about the situation where Chen Liu was ahead and Ma Gang was later.

He began to mobilize his officers and soldiers to spread out various rewards like a sky-high, and toss all kinds of official titles as if they were not expensive. He suddenly found that he had to pay some money regardless of the official photo printing.

Now the army in Southern Zhili jumped up from the ground like a whip, and jumped up and down everywhere, having a lot of fun. It was not only right or wrong, but only when you were busy first, you could make your heart feel more at ease.

The entire Nanzhili started to be on guard, at least according to the standards of Nanzhili, they were on guard. Oh, at least the officials in Nanjing had no idea of ​​going to the Qinhuai River to talk about wine during this period, and they all recruited their sisters home. The wealthy prefectures and counties in Jiangnan had raised money from all over the country and sent it to the front line.

The bandits are arrogant and the northern creatures are in trouble. Everyone in the world knows that it is a distant concept for Jiangnan, and it is so inconceivable that it is unimaginable. It is great to have such tension when everyone enjoys the stability and prosperity of the prosperous times.

From an official perspective, the militia and horses from all over the world are all in the same spirit. If such a brilliant victory is achieved there, Zhang Xianzhong and the Fifth Camp of Ge Zuo will inevitably become arrogant, and there may be a big offensive.

Moreover, the Li and Luo coalition forces of such a large scale were entrenched in Henan, heading south to Zhili, and even crossing the Yangtze River to rob the richest Jiangnan in the world.

However, after hearing this news, the Fifth Camp of the Ge Zuo did move towards the north, but the eight kings of Zhang Ni's bandits completely contracted and greatly relaxed the control of the surrounding area. According to reports from the local people who ran back from the bandit camp, Zhang Ni was preparing to leave Nanzhili.

The Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong and the King of Chuang Li Zicheng broke up and reunited, but they were unwilling to be subordinates of the other party. Seeing that the situation of Li Chuang in Henan had already been completed, they were still in this situation. If the other party came over or had any solicitation actions, the morale of these subordinates was fluctuating, and it was still unknown whether they still had their own position at that time.

Seeing that although Nanzhili is rich, it is also a tough guy. I can’t see how to eat and there is no possibility of making progress again. So I should go south early to see if I can make a fortune.

The fifth battalion of the Le Zuo was not the case. This unit was originally a consortium of several migrant armies, with a relatively loose structure. The five battalions combined together were considered a force. However, the power of each battalion was somewhat insufficient. Of course, this was not enough compared to the soldiers of Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong. Each unit could have a number of 50,000 or 60,000. Compared with officers and soldiers, it cannot be said to be a minority.

Because of the loose structure and the situation of the leaders of the Fifth Battalion, the Fifth Battalion of the Gleath Battalion had no intention of opening up a situation alone since the uprising. If it was to open a mountain and set up a cabinet, then who would be bigger and who would be smaller? It would be fine if it was wandering around like this now. Everyone is brothers, and they should be on par with equality. If they stay, they would have to be enforced and appeased the place. They would naturally have to be tear them apart. No one had such ambitions. They did not have such a big ambitions and did not have the courage to swallow up the other four camps. Moreover, if a family wanted to dominate, they would inevitably be attacked by a group of people, so they were thinking about relying on a powerful family.

This time Zhang Xianzhong came to Nanzhili, and he was an old man. During the conference, he rebelled against the king and burned Emperor Zhu's ancestral tomb in Fengyang. His reputation was prominent and he was very powerful. Now he was strong and the fifth camp of the Left was thinking about relying on his troops. But now he saw the situation of Li Zicheng in Henan becoming more and more powerful. Zhang Xianzhong was also the stingy master, and he was frightened when he served him, so they felt that being under the King of Chuang might be a good way out.

Moreover, the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo was originally based in Henan, and returning to Henan was even more popular. Since the Li and Luo coalition forces defeated the official army in Zhuxian Town, Henan, they have sent envoys to contact the refugee troops from all over the country. The Fifth Battalion of Gezuo was also among the contacts.

Zhang Xianzhong had no actual jurisdiction over the Fifth Battalion of the Gate Zuo. He could not stop him from going to the King of Chuang. Anyway, his own troops would leave Nanzhili, and the officials and soldiers in Zhengyang Town were extremely fierce, so it would be better to part with one stroke. Everyone would get together and not break up. Everyone left a way out and left clean.

Whether it was Zhang Xianzhong or the Fifth Camp of the Left, although they were deeply afraid of the official army in Zhengyang Town, they did not think that the other party would attack or pursue.

Because during this period, although the troops of each battalion hit the ground in Zhengyang Town, the officers and soldiers of Zhengyang Town never left the town to pursue, it is easy for people to think that these officers and soldiers could only defend for various reasons. You must know that whether it is Liu Xiyao, Ma Shou, who came to attack, or Zhang Xianzhong's Ainengqi, Feng Shuangli, attacked, they could not take any advantage. No matter how well prepared the offensive was, they would be hit by blood when they were pulled up. The troops were directly dispersed and could not recover their vitality for half a month.

He was beaten several times in a mess. Ainengqi was even beaten to the point of losing his flag. He threw down his baggage and retreated in a hurry. His personal soldiers were beaten apart. At this time, as long as the officers and soldiers in the town were chasing him, it would be a big loss, but the officers and soldiers just sat and watched them escape and did not move any other way.

In mid-July of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Lao Hui returned to Ma Shouying and changed his life to Wang Lin, and went north to the camp. Ge Li was attracted by He Yilong and Zuo Jin King Liu Xiyao, and Wei Xiaobei in the troubled times.

The officers and soldiers in Shouzhou were aware of the actions of these refugee troops and the approximate route was determined. However, no one from Lu Jiude to the officers below ordered a pursuit.

The great defeat of Zhuxian Town, Henan and the subsequent punishment of the court made everyone scared and disappointed. What was afraid of was that the refugee army had become so strong. What was disappointed was that the court later dealt with the thief General Zuo Liangyu was the primary responsible for the great defeat, but the court only issued an order to refute, and the general Yang Guozheng contributed the most before and after the Battle of Zhuxian Town, but was arrested and questioned.

The reason is very simple. Zuo Liangyu still has some strength in his hands, but Yang Guozheng has no strength in his hands because he has no strength in his hands. The court rewards and punishments are so unfair that everyone will naturally lose their minds of working hard. If they don’t care about themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth, let alone, as a general, they must think about their subordinates. If they take everyone to die, they may be defeated by their subordinates. Learn from Wei Bo’s tooth soldiers and kill the general and expel the general.

Everyone is still keeping some of the troops in their hands. Don’t just silly consume them with the refugee army. This is the capital of the general to settle down.

At noon on July 14th, Yingshang was still occupied by the Fifth Camp of the Gate Zuo. The subordinates of Liu Xiyao, the king of the Left Jin, guarded the city. The Fifth Camp of the Gate Zuo was originally a team that started in Henan and Huguang. Each camp was almost all the villagers. The relationship was harmonious.

Zuo Jinwang's camp is from the Henan Mall area. Many of them are still from the same village at the city. The place of Fengyang Mansion in July is already very hot. The people standing on the city wall looking around are all looking listlessly, and a few familiar people gather together to chat.

They were all old soldiers crawling out of the sea of ​​swords and blood. They didn't feel nervous and said in a lingering manner:

"Brother Qian. I heard we are going back to Henan?"

A younger soldier asked with a smile. The man he asked was obviously a small leader, his clothes were not so ragged, and the single sword in his hand was brand newer than others. He leaned against the wall and nodded and replied:

"Do you still need to ask about this? Lao Huihui, the King of Gengshi, and the camp have left first. Three days ago, a few familiar old guys gathered together to drink some wine. We probably have to wait until everyone leaves before moving!"

These days, people have starved to death. It is an extraordinary luxury to be able to drink a little wine. Brother Qian obviously has the intention of showing off in his words.

Several soldiers from the listening area around couldn't help swallowing their saliva. When the young soldier heard this man say this, he couldn't help but grin and said:

"No wonder I've always been dreaming about my hometown these days. Now I can go home to see my mother."

Brother Qian spitted on the ground and said impatiently:

"Look at me, little loach, just have a dream. Our mall has been famineless and has been with soldiers in recent years. So what else can there be living people? Don't think so much, follow the camp honestly. It is said that the prince of the Investiture is a big shot in the world. Let's follow us to see if we can be a hero and enjoy it."

These people at the top of the city laughed. Their parents and relatives might die. Now everyone is quite calm about talking about it, and they can even use it as a joke. Everyone has long been numb.

Another soldier put his hand on the pergola and looked at the distance. There was no movement. He simply squatted down, touched his cheek, and said to Brother Qian:

"Old Qian, I heard that our camp is not only leaving late now, but we will be able to move in the end when the Greshen and the King of Troubled Times leave. My grandma, why should we last?"

The soldier who was asking about this question had two big scars on his face. He looked quite scary. The leader named Qian was obviously a little polite to him and said with a sneer:

"Our battalion has been fighting fiercely in Zhengyang Town. Now it has suffered the most losses among the camps and has the weakest strength. What good things can be taken to us? I heard from the top officials that it is still good to cut off the rear. The old Huihui people even discussed with others that they would swallow our camp."

When they heard this, a group of people sat around them shouted and scolded each other. It was easy to say in the battalions. Everyone could smile when they met, but if they were annexed and their own camp group was gone, they would immediately become second-class people. They were demolished to pieces, and others were all fellow villagers. Needless to say, being cannon fodder, even after not fighting, they would have to work as hard labor in the battalion and be looked down upon.

Finally, the old Qian said a few words like a summary and said:

"When we return to Henan, everything will be fine. The King of Chuang is a fair and righteous person. At that time, we will definitely not be bullied."

After saying a few words, when he saw that the little loach was still standing there, the old Qian couldn't help but curse:

"Don't stand there stupidly and get sunbathed. I'm in charge of you. What are you afraid of? Everyone sits down and rest, and you just sit down, little loach, we don't know that we will die that day. If we can be comfortable, it's comfortable... Even if we die, we must be comfortable. It's not worth it."

Before he finished speaking, the old Qian suddenly felt something was wrong. The little loach's lips were trembling, his face turned pale, as if he had taken a lot of effort to lift his arms. Before he could say it, the whole city was already shouting:

"The officers and soldiers are here, the officers and soldiers are here!!!"

Lao Qian, who was sitting on the ground and the scarred face squatting there, heard the shout, as if his butt was stabbed by a knife, jumped up suddenly, lay on the stomping the wall and looked out.

They were at the east gate of Yingshang City, and they could see the people under the city running towards the city like crazy. At some point, the brigade of infantry appeared in sight.

You can also see the large ship sails on the river eating and appearing on Yingshui, which is opposite the city gate...

The soldiers on the top of the city were stunned and could not react for a while. Didn’t it mean that the officers and soldiers were not moving in Zhengyang Town? Why did they suddenly appear in front of Yingshang’s city gate?

In the county yamen in the city, Liu Xiyao, He Yilong and Wei Xiaobei were quarreling. Lao Huihui and the King of Changes were the strongest among the five camps, and everything was given priority. They left first, and the remaining three camps did not dare to say anything, but the remaining three camps were not that big.

Whoever leaves first will be safer, and there are still some cheaper things to make in Yingzhou upstream, and no one wants to stay, and everyone wants to leave first.
