Be the emperor from the postman

Sincerity is often the knife that hurts the most.

Yang Sichang experienced the days when life was worse than death in Chongqing, and mustered up the last courage to run out, wanting to do something big.

As a result, on the way, he learned that Zhang Xianzhong had stolen the lair where the money and food were stored and killed King Xiang. He was so angry that he wanted to die, so he voluntarily refused to eat or drink.

In order to make him regain his strength, the emperor directly sent Wu Guojun to help him.

Yang Sichang's previous strategy of four positives and six corners, and the strategy of securing the interior before fighting against the outside world, had already declared bankruptcy when Zhang Xianzhong broke through Xiangyang and negotiated peace with the hammer bandits, completely destroying his ten-sided net.

After a long silence, Yang Sichang could only sigh:
"Let's go with Marquis Jingliao. He is not as good as me in the remote command of the court, and I am not as good as him in making decisions on the battlefield."

The military supervisor Wanji nodded.

After all, he is a person who has already "died" once, presumably Yang Dushi's heart will change a lot.

According to Wanji's understanding of the current emperor, no matter whether Yang Sichang commanded the victory or not, his first contribution was his inability to escape.

As for the battlefield, as long as you can win the battle, it doesn't matter whose command you listen to.

Governor Yang escaped from the dead, so it's normal to be in poor health, so don't overwork yourself.

Therefore, the Ming army gathered in Huguang to deal with Zhang Xianzhong established that Wu Guojun, Marquis of Jingliao, was the main one.

Zhang Xianzhong was shocked when he got the news that the emperor really sent Wu Guojun, Marquis of Jingliao, to Huguang to put down the rebellion.

Chongzhen didn't drag Wu Guojun by his side to prevent He Jinchao's troops from leaving Shanxi to go to the capital to destroy him, what was there to rely on?

Recently, many prefectures and counties have been conquered. Zuo Liangyu has always been in a state of standing still, but now that Wu Guojun is leading elite soldiers, can Zuo Liangyu continue to sit and watch?
And they were extremely afraid of Zuo Liangyu who almost caught him.

Xu Yixian frowned slightly, he always felt that things would not be that simple.

Why wasn't the dog Emperor Chongzhen afraid of He Jinchao, and gave him the only trump card in his hand?

Can't figure it out.

"My lord, Huguang is not conducive to the movement of our army. It is better to go to Henan and other places to make peace with Li Zicheng."

Pan Duao hastily put forward his own suggestion, diverting disasters to the east is a long-established strategy.

Zhang Xianzhong didn't have any good ideas at this time. It was not very realistic to go to Jiangxi and other places. He might as well meet Li Zicheng and Wu Guojun later.

Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai decided to enter Henan to attack Nanyang.

On the way, some people happened to meet Ding Qirui, Wu Guojun, and Zuo Liangyu for reconciliation.

As a result, the two joined forces to kill a group of troops belonging to Zhang Xianzhong, beheading more than 200 people.

Yang Sichang was overjoyed when he heard the words. Sure enough, Wu Guojun came, and Zuo Liangyu also served the country well.

Zhang Xianzhong did not stop besieging Nanyang, but turned around and attacked Xinyang and Qinyang.

The governor of Henan hurriedly asked Wu Guojun and Zuo Liangyu to pursue and suppress them. Zhang Xianzhong, on the advice of his military adviser, broke through and returned to Huguang to occupy Xun County.

But during this period, conflicts occurred between Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai.

Because it was agreed earlier that you would come to Henan to meet with Chuang Wang Li Zicheng's tribe, but you came here for a while and then returned to Huguang.

What is this nonsense?
The two then parted ways.

Luo Rucai went to make peace with Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng welcomed Luo Rucai's arrival very much. After all, most of his subordinates are old thieves.

Don't look at the huge stall Li Zicheng set up in Henan, but it's just a bubble, and whoever pokes it will know.

His direct descendants are too few, and there are few elites available.

Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai fought together, and the elite forces were strengthened. Zhang Xianzhong lost an ally, and no one could restrain the Ming army for him, so his strength was weakened.

Chuang Wang Li Zicheng's current state is to look at Heluo, and his momentum is booming.

After Chongzhen heard the news, he was very worried, and quickly sent someone to urge Fu Zonglong to do his best to deal with the robbers, hoping that he could achieve the same record as Lu Xiangsheng.

But Fu Zonglong, who received the imperial decree to urge the war, said goodbye to Wang Qiaonian, the governor of Shaanxi who was stationed in Henan.

He took away Li Guoqi, Hu Dawei and other soldiers, built a pontoon bridge, crossed Rushui eastward, and entered Xiangcheng.

At this time, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai built a pontoon bridge upstream, preparing to attack Runing. When they learned that the Ming army was going to cross the river, they immediately set up an ambush to lure the enemy.

The two sides pretended to encounter each other, and when Li Guoqi and Hu Dawei pursued for thirty miles, they were exhausted and resting their feet, the main force of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai rushed out of the ambush forest like a mountain and a sea.

But seeing the dust billowing and the sound of killing shaking the sky, Fu Zonglong and Ding Qirui were frightened by the sudden blow and panicked.

Li Guoqi, who has always been brave and good at fighting, led more than a thousand cavalry to avoid the battle to protect himself, but the tiger had nowhere to hide, so he was forced to fight and retreated in defeat.

Li Guoqi and Hu Dawei hurriedly fled towards Shen Qiu.

Ding Qirui, who was stationed in the fire shop, saw that something was wrong, left Fu Zonglong alone, and fled to Xiangcheng and Chenzhou (now Huaiyang).

The only scene left on the battlefield was Fu Zonglong standing alone and waiting to die. This was not the first time he was treated like this.

When he was fighting hammer bandits in Sichuan, he was collectively abandoned by the surrounding generals.

Even though Qin Liangyu escaped alone, he didn't return to his camp to continue commanding the battle, let alone other people with weaker "loyalty" to Daming.

Anyway, it's fine if you don't die as a fellow Taoist.

Fu Zonglong ordered Hu Dawei and Li Guoqi to turn around to rescue him many times, but there was no response, and Fu Zonglong was so angry that he cursed.

Once again, he declared hoarsely that he would fight to the death and never "run away with armor".

It was not the first time for the guards around him to hear such words, so they all had some experience and were always ready to escape.

In this way, morale was even lower, and the army was defeated very quickly.

Sure enough, after fighting for a while, Fu Zonglong didn't dare to fight to the death, so he had to go away again.

Li Zicheng would not easily use the strategy of encircling three and missing one, but surrounded on all sides.

Where is he willing to let go of the new governor who "focused on dealing with thieves"?

It happened to kill chickens to warn monkeys, so that the officers and soldiers in Henan know that I, Li Zicheng, are not easy to mess with.

You don't dare to beat the hammer bandits, you dare to provoke me, it seems that I haven't killed enough dog officials.

Therefore, the Chuangwang men and horses pursued Fu Zonglong closely.

Breaking through in the middle of the night, Fu Zonglong became a prisoner before he escaped to Xiangcheng at noon the next day.

Unlike in Sichuan, he is familiar with the terrain.

In Henan, he is not as familiar with the terrain as Li Zicheng.

He can escape successfully in the home game, but he will not have such good luck in the away game.

"Are you surrendering or not?" Li Zicheng was extremely excited when he grabbed the supreme commander who specialized in burglars.

Fu Zonglong did not answer.

Luo Rucai laughed loudly: "Take him to fraudulently open the gate of Xiangcheng, if he still wants to survive."

"In my opinion, all the dog officials in Daming are greedy for money and risk their lives."

Li Zicheng looked at Fu Zonglong with disdain: "He must want me to untie him now, and then please take a seat, and humbly ask him to help me, but I won't do that!"

"Dog officer." Luo Rucai didn't have a good impression of the officials of Ming Dynasty, so he kicked Fu Zonglong directly.

Now it's the turn of these dog officials to kneel down and beg for mercy.

Therefore, Li Zicheng directly used Fu Zonglong, a silent high-ranking official, to cheat the city, and there was no trick to recruit him to surrender.

Li Zicheng's soldiers took him to the gate of Xiangcheng County, falsely claiming that he is Governor Fu's personal guard, please open the door to accept Governor Fu.

"Can't open the door."

Ding Qirui was so frightened that he thought he had won the battle, but was transferred by Fu Zonglong to surround Li Zicheng, but instead he fell into the trap of the intruder.

Fu Zonglong yelled to the soldiers on the city wall: "I am Fu Zonglong. Unfortunately, I fell into the hands of thieves. Fire on the city, don't fall for the trick, and don't open the city gate and let them in."

The soldiers and guards on Xiangcheng who were just about to put down the hanging basket were shocked.

They already knew that King Chuang's troops had won a big victory, so even if the people below said he was Fu Zonglong, Fu Zonglong didn't plan to open the city gate, but wanted to wrong him to come up on a hanging basket to avoid being tricked by thieves to open the city gate.

Ding Qirui also thinks this is interesting enough.

After all, only a few of Fu Zonglong's servants are involved, so it won't be a big deal.

Now hearing the shouts from the people below, Ding Qirui ordered even the gondolas to be closed up, shouting for the gunners to take aim.

Fu Zonglong said to Li Zicheng's soldiers again: "I am a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to kill a thief, you will kill him. How can you earn a city for a thief in order to slow down his death!"

As a result, he was slashed on his left side, his eyes were blinded, and his nose was cut off.

They still wanted to continue to torture Fu Zonglong. At this time, the city fired a cannon, and the intruders abandoned him and turned around and ran away.

When Li Zicheng's army retreated and his servant Lu San carried Fu Zonglong into the city, Fu Zonglong had already died of anger, and the people of Xiangcheng buried him in Tianji Temple.

I am grateful that he gave up his life for righteousness, and did not obey the thief's words and open the city gate by fraud.

He saved everyone's life with his own life.

Chongzhen sighed greatly when he got the news: "If this kind of behavior is really true, it can be called a simple loyalty!"

He immediately pursued him as Minister of the Ministry of War, added Prince Shaobao, posthumously Zhongzhuang, and gave him a funeral.

This time, the imperial court lost another one who was responsible.

If Fu Zonglong was not familiar with the terrain of Sichuan back then, he didn't need to enter the palace three times to go to the Longchang in the imperial prison to enlighten Taoism.

It's a pity that the more times he enlightened, the more he wanted to do something for Daming, so much so that he died.

But Li Zicheng won consecutive battles in Henan.

Compared with Li Zicheng's success, Zhang Xianzhong ran to Huguang again, led Zuo Liangyu and Wu Guojun's team to run, and finally ran back to Henan.

They fought a big battle with Zhang Xianzhong in Xinyang.

It has to be said that Wu Guojun's men hacked and killed Zhang Xianzhong's team.

Even Zhang Xianzhong personally went into battle to encourage the soldiers, but he fled wounded.

On the way, he was attacked by Wang Yun, Zuo Liangyu's deputy, and only a few dozen confidants ran into the mountain.

Zhang Xianzhong originally wanted to bring disaster to the east, but in the end Zhang Xianzhong was beaten and Li Zicheng killed all directions.

Wu Guojun and Zuo Liangyu killed and wounded tens of thousands, and captured many soldiers and horses.

Wang Yun ran back to report in person, but fell short and failed to catch the thief's leader Zhang Xianzhong.

Zuo Liangyu was extremely angry, and wanted to draw out his knife, and cut off the lieutenant general Wang Yun, but Wu Guojun stopped him.

"There are only dozens of Zhang Xianzhong left. He must go to join Li Zicheng. We will fight Li Zicheng after a while."

Wu Guojun snorted in his heart, dare not follow the command of the commander-in-chief, if you don't show face like this, you must become disrespectful!
Hearing Wu Guojun's words, Zuo Liangyu sheathed his knife and kicked the lieutenant, telling him to thank Marquis Jingliao for pleading for you.

"This big victory, thanks to Jing Liao Hou's command, blocked most of Zhang Xianzhong's troops."

Wu Guojun didn't say anything.

He also didn't expect that the soldiers under Zhang Xianzhong's hands were so careless, and many of them didn't seem to have any trace of training.

The last time Zhang Xianzhong escaped from Zuo Liangyu's hand, it seemed that he suffered a lot of damage. He was able to take Xiangyang City, and it was indeed Yang Sichang's general who stayed in the base camp that was quite useless.

More than 20 people turned Xiangyang City upside down, and were occupied by thieves inside and outside.

This battle is not at all about how powerful the soldiers under Zhang Xianzhong's command are, but because the soldiers stationed in Xiangyang are too weak.

Zhang Xianzhong's rise in Huguang was not slow, so it was the same thing for the soldiers to fight.

Zuo Liangyu was extremely satisfied with this battle result. All the money Zhang Xianzhong plundered from Xiangyang fell into his hands now.

Zhang Xianzhong fled in embarrassment, and even his number one military adviser, Xu Yixian, was captured.

While the officers and soldiers were counting the number of people, Ji Gui asked someone to untie Xu Yixian and send him to the tent.

"We don't know each other."

"I've heard of your reputation." Ji Gui poured Xu Yixian a cup of tea with a smile: "I want to chat."

"There's nothing to talk about. If you want to kill, you don't have to be hypocritical."

Xu Yixian picked up the teacup and took a sip, motioning for Ji Gui to continue pouring for him:
"Ever since I joined the Eight Great Kings' army, I have never thought of submitting to Daming again."

"Coincidentally, I didn't think of surrendering to Daming either."

Hearing this, Xu Yixian paused: "Could it be that Zuo Liangyu also has the idea of ​​rebelling against Daming?"

After all, they were able to escape from Zuo Liangyu last time because they were still valuable.

Being captured this time, Xu Yixian also had a wave of hope in his heart.

Zuo Liangyu will let them continue to grow bigger, and then come and wipe them out.

In this way, Chongzhen could only continue to rely on Zuo Liangyu, even if his military discipline was poor, he had to hold his nose and bear it.

"So, there is a possibility of cooperation between you and me?" Xu Yi seemed to know that he didn't have to die, and suddenly became polite.

"Why are you rebelling?"

"The emperor is in power, the officials only know how to make money, and the common people have no means of living. Why can't the world change to another emperor?"

When Xu Yixian talked about his ambition, he immediately became very proud: "Although I am not talented, I still have the ambition of Zhuge Kongming. I want to reshape this universe and protect my family's king from the world."

"Based on your judgment, Zhang Xianzhong can win the world?"

Ji Gui picked up the teacup and said, "Even though you have the talent of Zhuge Liang, you don't think that Zhang Xianzhong is worthy of being compared with Emperor Zhaolie, do you?"

Xu Yixian was speechless for a moment, Zhang Xianzhong was not worthy to carry the shoes of Emperor Zhaolie.

The two are simply not comparable.

Zhang Xianzhong is quite easy to kill, and has a flexible bottom line in his actions.

He did not treat the common people without offense at all, on the contrary, he would attract many people to follow him.

When the moment of crisis came, they abandoned a large number of people and fled.

Ji Gui put down the teacup in his hand, couldn't help but sneered and said:

"Xu Yixian, you know in your heart that Zhang Xianzhong is not a wise lord.

But you still want to help him seize the world and leave his name in history. Isn't it too academic?

Just listening to it makes people laugh! "
