Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 469 Seeing through the tactics but not the strategy (first update)
Could it be that the bandit Zijinliang really wants to conquer Beijing and want to settle down in the Central Plains?
Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng felt ridiculous.

Even if the Beijing camp is rotten, Da Ming is not something that these rebels can get their hands on.

Besides, Zijin Liang only brought some elite troops to Hebei, Lu Xiangsheng thought about it.

According to the route plan, Zijin Liang also wants to go to the capital to make a big fuss, right?

This move really seemed too absurd, but after thinking about it carefully, it was extremely agreeable to the behavior of these thieves.

Whether you can get more trophies is not important, the important thing is to become famous.

As the leader of the 36th Battalion, Zijin Liang must want to make a big career, how can he become famous faster than the Daming capital attacked by the rebels!

"My lord, do we want to rescue Pingxiang County?"

Kou Conghua put down the letter in his hand and asked.

"There's no need to worry."

Lu Xiangsheng was still hesitating, because the enemy had light and heavy cavalry, no fewer than 3000.

And all of our own side are infantry, once they are harassed on the way, they will appear extremely passive.

Moreover, Anjia Liangfu was captured, and his ambush in Julu might be leaked.

This is something that must be resolved, because there is no way to hide it. Even if Pingxiang County is rescued, Zijin Liang will know about it.

This group of cavalry will definitely come to harass.

Previously, Zijinliang, the traitor, was not a showman, but after he became the leader of the rebel army, he became so difficult to deal with!
Previously, Lu Xiangsheng had only heard of Shanxi's Nanchuangbeichui. Many Shanxi people fled to his rule, and most of them learned about it through this way.

As for the thieves in Shaanxi, they only read the news from the imperial court.

In any case, this Zijin Liang can defeat thousands of officers and soldiers, even if there is no unified command among these officers and generals, they cannot just despise the bandits.

"My lord." Counselor Kou Conghua said with deliberation:

"I guess that this group of bandits will definitely not come to Julu County, which we are defending. Most of the soldiers in Handan, Yongnian, and Quzhou counties are gone.

If this group of thieves can't take Pingxiang, they will turn around and plunder these three counties.

Cao Yingqiu and the others are absolutely unable to stop it. Between us, we still need to mobilize the officials and troops from the Daming Mansion to fill the vacancies in these three counties.

Or let them implement the strategy of Cao Yingqiu and others, and then we will ask the imperial court for reinforcements to chase and intercept these bandits. "

The thieves have horses, and the Tianxiong army is almost all infantry, so it is impossible to catch up with them.

Listening to the counselor's analysis, Lu Xiangsheng also thought it was a good idea. Since the group from Ekou wanted to attack Pingxiang County, let them fight for a few days first.

He absolutely can't take his subordinates and pounce on this group of thieves when they are gaining momentum, it will not do him any good.

Lu Xiangsheng was in charge of the soldiers of Shunde, Guangping, and Daming Prefectures, and it was reasonable to allocate troops and horses.

And if a county town is breached by thieves, and the thieves can only wreak havoc in the countryside, it has a different meaning for the imperial court.

The imperial power does not go to the countryside, and the smallest official in the court is the county magistrate.

Breaking through the county seat is already tantamount to rebellion!

"That's how it is, take the transfer order of the official, and then draw [-] soldiers and horses from Daming Mansion to garrison the three counties of Guangping Mansion.

Cut off the thieves' retreat, stick to the city, and never fight with them easily. "

"Yes."

Counselor Kou Conghua immediately began to write the transfer order.

Lu Xiangsheng decided to stand still, and at the same time asked the imperial court to transfer those who were dispatched to Shanxi to suppress the bandits. It would be better to transfer them first to suppress the anti-bandit leader Zijin Liang who invited you into the urn.

Capturing Zijinliang alive must be a great blow to the Shanxi bandits!
Lu Xiangsheng didn't figure out He Jinzhao's strategic plan, but only guessed the tactics of this group of thieves. They came to Beizhili to become famous all over the world.

Sure enough, according to He Jinchao's prediction, Lu Xiangsheng mobilized soldiers from Daming Mansion to Guangping Mansion for support, and at the same time cut off the retreat of this group of rebels.

Xie Zikuai and others, who had been closely monitoring the movement of the officials and troops in the Daming Mansion, started to lead the rebel army to attack the empty Daming Mansion two days after they got the news that the officers and soldiers had gone to Guangping Mansion.

However, Li Zicheng and others were almost unimpeded all the way, easily breaking through Gaoping and Ningshanwei in Zezhou, and broke into Huaiqing Mansion in Henan Province.

Flowering on three sides.

The fierce offensive of the rebel army smashed the heartland of the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty into chaos, and the local authorities could hardly resist it.

The gentry in Henan were flustered and wrote a joint letter, asking the imperial court to send troops to rescue.

Regarding the letters of appeal for help from Henan and Hebei, all of them were placed in front of Chongzhen, which made him look extremely ugly.

Not long ago, I learned that the 20-strong Shanxi uprising army, what is the 36th Battalion, elected Zijin Liang as the leader to jointly fight against the Ming court.

This move really made Chongzhen lose face.

"Where is Zuo Liangyu?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Zuo Liangyu, the deputy general of Changping, has arrived in the capital."

"Well, order him to join forces with Lu Xiangsheng to fight the bandits in Hebei first, then Henan, and finally enter Shanxi."

Chongzhen pointed to the memorial and said, "Catch this bandit named Zijinliang and bring him to the capital to make an example of him."

"Yes."

The decree was written in a hurry and transferred to Zuo Liangyu in a hurry.

Facing Chongzhen's will, Zuo Liangyu at this time is even more ambitious. Can a mere bandit be harder to fight than the Jurchen Tartars?

Even though he had less than [-] soldiers, he recruited [-] civilians, claiming to be [-], and they went straight to Hebei to kill them.

Lu Xiangsheng finally came to his senses when he received the news that bandits were raging in Daming Mansion. It turned out that this was Zijinliang's strategy.

The gang of thieves in Guangping Mansion may not be the real Zijin Liang, but just fake soldiers. Their real goal is the wealth of Daming Mansion.

What is the use of Lu Xiangsheng understanding it?
Now that the established facts have been established, he has no choice but to admit that this Zijin Liang is not an easy thief to deal with!
"My lord, are we going to attack Pingxiang? The imperial court's reinforcements are already on their way."

"Okay, let's beat the drums and gather the generals."

Lu Xiangsheng threw the bad news from Daming Mansion on the ground, whether you are the real Zijin Liang, or not, first screw your head off.

Pingxiang County.

There was a burst of shouting under the city.

The water in the moat was stained red with blood.

Many wooden boards are laid on it, and there are many ladders.

It's just that there are many howling "official soldiers" under the city wall. These people have been forced to attack the city by the rebels with knives. It has been three days.

An indescribable stench permeated the entire city wall.

The golden juice is still boiling on the city wall, as long as the bandits attack the city again, it will be poured down.

The soldiers who were poured with golden juice were scalded and their skin was torn apart. Even though they were wearing armor, the hot golden juice flowed down their necks, making them howl and jump off the ladder to escape, but it was still useless.

The county magistrate Bai Ang didn't want to die, he knew that Lu Xiangsheng would lead his troops to rescue him, this group of bandits really attacked the city.

He ran hard and called on the defenders to be fierce. Even if the people below yelled that they were officers and wanted to climb up the city to surrender, that would not be allowed.

Fortunately, this group of thieves didn't have any decent attack equipment, all of them were made simply.

On the other hand, the wounded below the city wall couldn't die for a while, and were still howling.
