Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 916 Playing Chess (Two in One)

Fu Zonglong couldn't bear the anxious expression on his face.

Supported by his personal guards, he slowly sat on the marching harness and told Tan Ma to go down and rest.

Now the offensive and defensive momentum is different.

The morale of the officers and soldiers is designated to drop, that is not 5000 pigs, but [-] people.

The entire army was wiped out, which shows what a tragic defeat it had fought.

If He Jinzhao was under the bewitchment of his subordinates, or thought that Sichuan soldiers were just like this, and sent troops directly to Sichuan, the consequences would be disastrous.

Once even Sichuan fell into He Jinzhao's hands, Fu Zonglong didn't dare to think about it.

Fu Zonglong asked someone to bring a map and study it carefully.

If He Jinzhao wanted to attack Sichuan from Hanzhong, there were four ways to enter Baoning Prefecture.

One is to cross the Daba and Daba Mountains and attack the Nanjiang River, but there is the Xilin Pass, where the two mountains are facing each other, and the edge of the rock is the road.

There is also Baizhangguan as a support, so Fu Zonglong is not in a hurry.

In particular, the Daba and Daba mountains are difficult to cross, and they are not suitable for large-scale marches, unless He Jinzhao's troops are all barbarians, and they can cross mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground.

Only then did Fu Zonglong focus on Qipan Pass. If He Jinchao came from Ningqiang County, he would have to break through this place.

If he came from Lueyang County, he would have to break Chaotian Pass.

Going to Kang County is to break through Baishui Pass.

There are several passes behind Fu Zonglong, such as Jianmen Pass, Tieshan Pass, Liangshan Pass, etc., which are enough to resist step by step.

He decided to immediately send people to guard each pass, strengthen the pass guards, and gather the army in Guangyuan and Zhaohua counties.

The group of people in front of them is simply not enough.

Fu Zonglong thought for a while and began to order reinforcements from various places in central Sichuan, and at the same time sent people to Hong Chengchou to ask for help.

If you don't come again, Sichuan will be lost!

The last time Li Zicheng ravaged Sichuan and was beaten by the two of us, now that He Jinchao is leading the army, we have to guard against it.

When the scouts sent by Fu Zonglong kept returning the latest news.

Because of Hanzhong, Fu Zonglong's face became more and more ugly.

Zhao Guangyuan, that bastard, abandoned the city and fled without buying him more time.

The hammer bandits occupied the entire Hanzhong Mansion, and the army came straight to Qipan Pass.

It seems that they want to attack this place by force, all the way to Sichuan.

Fu Zonglong wanted to learn about the methods of the hammer bandits, to see how capable He Jinzhao was, and dared to come to Sichuan to make trouble.

At the foot of the mountain, He Jinzhao observed Qipan Mountain carefully with a binoculars.

I have to say that this name is very appropriate, just like Grandma Mountain, the common people's naming is so simple and realistic.

"My lord, if our army wants to take the ancient Jinniu Road, we have to pass through the northern Sichuan gate."

Zhang Fuzhen is also observing the danger. If he wants to take a good road, this road cannot be avoided.

Only storm!

He Jinzhao thought about it for a while, and asked Yuan Shizhong to pick a soldier to surrender.

Let's say you have [-] troops on your side, if you don't surrender, you will be wiped out at Qipanguan City.

The surrender soon ran through the Qipan Pass alone.

For this messenger, Fu Zonglong is not in a hurry to kill them all. When the army comes to attack, there are plenty of ways to kill the hammer bandits.

He wanted to hear what He Jinzhao was planning.

It wasn't until the soldiers ran out of breath all the way to the pass, and when they reported themselves, that Fu Zonglong sent someone to pull him up with a rope.

After a while of careful questioning, Fu Zonglong realized that Zhao Guangrui died because of his own cleverness.

But in that position, he will definitely not be the only one who thinks he can see through the enemy's arrangement in the future.

Pity!
Fu Zonglong shook his head. He had long heard that He Jinzhao used troops cunningly, but now it seems that it is true.

"A [-]-strong army wants to conquer Qipan Pass?"

Fu Zonglong pinched his beard and couldn't help laughing wildly: "This pass is for one man to be a pass for ten thousand men."

Everyone says yes.

Fu Zonglong spoke so arrogantly, but also to cheer up the soldiers under his command.

Otherwise, the loss of 5000 people would definitely be a huge blow to morale.

Concealing the news, Fu Zonglong can hardly do it.

After all, there is no impenetrable wall, so it is better to push it out first, so as not to be tricked by the hammer bandits in times of crisis.

In particular, there are countless dangers in the middle of Sichuan. If he beats the hammer bandits one by one, he will eventually become a flesh and blood mill.

Fu Zonglong believes that he can't afford it.

How many soldiers can He Jinchao lose here?
Once the loss is too great, can he still gain a firm foothold in the land of Shanshan?

Fu Zonglong didn't let this soldier go back to spread the word. Anyway, he wasn't from the Hammer bandit camp, and he could save one of them.

As long as he didn't reply, He Jinzhao could only stare blankly.

Come and attack if you have the ability.

Sichuan borders Shaanxi in the north and Huguang in the east, both of which are steeped in mountains and cliffs.

However, Fu Zonglong was a little worried that Hong Chengchou would not come to support him. People like him were cruel and never cared about the lives of others.

When Li Zicheng attacked Sichuan last year, he defeated Li Zicheng in Hanzhong, but he stayed in Hanzhong because of lack of pay.

After a long time, Hong Chengchou sent the main general Zuo Guangxian and his deputy Zhao Guangyuan to support him.

He Jinzhao looked at the sun, and after waiting for a quarter of an hour, the corresponding soldiers did not return.

He came to understand, Fu Zonglong is not particular about this old boy.

"My lord, why don't you just bombard this level and give them a blow."

He Jinzhao is not in a hurry: "Fu Zonglong must be dispatching troops to delay time, we will wait for his reinforcements to arrive.

Going through the provinces one by one is not conducive to the rapid annexation of several state capitals after we enter Sichuan. "

"Then withdraw troops?"

"Withdraw the troops, let's study how to break Qipan Mountain first, the artillery angle still needs to be tested."

"Yes."

Fu Zonglong, who was closed, couldn't help laughing while pinching his beard when he saw the hammer bandits retreating.

When he had had enough of laughing, he ordered people to guard Baishui Pass and Chaotian Pass closely, in case He Jinzhao came to make a sudden attack.

Fangcheng Mountain.

Li Zicheng is basking in the sun.

In order to avoid Hong Chengchou's pursuit, he escaped into the depths of the mountain before, and escaped unharmed.

Now there are only a few hundred confidants around.

He was not reconciled to failing all the time, anyway, he was now King Li Chuang, so he sent out many spies to find out the current situation in the world.

Last year he heard that He Jinzhao went to the capital to rescue Gao Yingxiang, and in addition to the fact that the Qing army was raging in the capital and Lu Xiang was transferred away, he started a series of actions.

Never thought that Hong Chengchou didn't have the thoughts of King Qin at all, but beat him so terribly.

Holding the whip in his hand, Li Guo sat down next to him: "King Chuang, the situation in Shaanxi is pretty much the same."

According to Li Guo's description, He Jinzhao has now occupied the whole of Shaanxi, fought a victorious battle in Hanzhong, and pointed his troops directly at Sichuan, probably wanting to annex Sichuan in one fell swoop.

Hearing this, Li Zicheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Before changing his career, he was all postmen, but after he changed his career, he was all rebels.

However, He Jinzhao's development is getting better and better, but he is going back more and more.

Kong took over the title of King Gao Chuang, but he didn't take over the strength of King Gao Chuang.

It's not even as good as when he first rebelled, he had more soldiers under his command.

Li Guo stroked his beard and said: "Zhang Xianzhong also came out of Taihu Lake, I heard that he fought with the officers Cheng Long, Pan Keda, Chen Yuwang and others.

The besieging officer army was numerous, and Pan Keda was beheaded in battle, forcing Cheng Long and Chen Yuwang to commit suicide and wiped out the officer army. "

Li Zicheng felt irritable when he heard it, and everyone was better than him.

In the past, Zhang Xianzhong had to follow behind him to listen to the arrangements, but now he has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and he forcibly surrounded the officers and soldiers to death.

It has to be said that Zhang Xianzhong is ruthless, especially if he dared to admit that Lao Tzu dug up the ancestral grave of the Ming ancestor.

People who couldn't stand him and He Jinzhao's stricter military discipline liked to hang out with Zhang Xianzhong.

Li Zicheng thought that the military discipline he formulated was slightly weaker than that of the hammer bandits, but just like this, there are still a large number of troops who can't stand it.

He doesn't know what to do?
But once there is no military discipline, what is the difference from the official army?
Li Guo just sent back the news from his surroundings. As for how to make a decision, it still depends on how Li Zicheng thinks.

Li Zicheng clenched his fists, thought about it seriously, and said:

"Now the officers and soldiers don't care about us, whether they are going to support Sichuan or entrenched in Huguang to confront Zhang Xianzhong.

I intend to send troops to Henan, roll up the troops, accumulate strength, and play the slogan of protecting the people and expelling the soldiers. What do you think? "

Li Guo had no objection, the behavior of the Ming officials and soldiers towards the common people was even worse than that of the rebels.

"it is good."

Li Guo naturally agreed, and if he continued to nest in the mountains, he might lose his mind.

Li Zichang let out a sigh of relief, finally able to flex his muscles again.

I hope this time I can take advantage of the chaos to gather momentum and turn him upside down.

Li Zicheng also hopes to be able to occupy a certain place as the basic base like He Jinzhao did, otherwise he will always be at a disadvantage against the Shangguan army.

Hong Chengchou was confronting Zhang Xianzhong, and this group of rogues became more and more difficult to deal with.

In other words, after so many years, Zhang Xianzhong has accumulated a large number of old thieves who are good at fighting, no matter whether they were converted from the Ming army camp or not.

But this force is indeed becoming more and more tyrannical.

Hong Chengchou was thinking about how to quickly wipe out Zhang Xianzhong, when he received an emergency document sent by Fu Zonglong.

He opened it and saw the first few words, and couldn't help but throw the document on the ground.

He Jinchao captured Hanzhong Mansion, and the soldiers pointed directly at Sichuan.

Things really went in the worst direction.

He Jinchao wants to take over the world and become the emperor!
Otherwise, they would not find that the dilapidated Shaanxi could not supply a large number of troops, and immediately wanted to seize the land of abundance.

As long as there are people in Sichuan, there will be a bumper harvest in the grain-producing areas.

The difficulty of garrisoning the fields is relatively small. Fu Zonglong's policy of garrisoning the fields in Sichuan has effectively dealt with the rebellious chieftains in Guizhou.

If Sichuan also fell into the hands of He Jinzhao, he wanted to wipe out Zhang Xianzhong first and then exhaust the power of Ming Dynasty, and his hope of killing He Jinzhao would be in vain.

As for the fact that King Rui escaped successfully, it didn't matter to him at all.

He Jinzhao has captured so many feudal lords, one King Rui is not qualified enough to make He Jinzhao furious.

Now that Fu Zonglong sees that something is wrong, he wants to lead the soldiers to support him?
He had been warned a long time ago not to provoke He Jinzhao casually. Perhaps He Jinzhao would still find a way to govern Shaanxi, leaving enough time for the officers and soldiers to prepare to destroy him.

In particular, Zhao Guangrui's five thousand soldiers were almost wiped out, which made Hong Chengchou more convinced that Fu Zonglong did not strictly implement his military orders.

If he hadn't neglected his timidity on his own initiative, He Jinzhao would have thought that Sichuan soldiers were so easy to fight.

If we don't take the opportunity to fight Sichuan at this time, is it possible to wait for the court to wipe out Zhang Xianzhong and the bandits to deal with him with all their strength before going to Sichuan?
Hong Chengchou couldn't help Fu Zonglong at all, not only because the military salary hadn't been paid yet.

Zhang Xianzhong killed several generals and more than [-] officers and soldiers in one battle, even more viciously than He Jinzhao.

If Hong Chengchou didn't try to kill Zhang Xianzhong, he would have to encounter the situation after Cao Wenzhao's death in the battle, and the army would be terrified.

Zhang Xianzhong's display of supernatural power this time has already made many officers and soldiers fearful.

Since they suppressed thieves, how long has it been since Da Ming lost 6000 people at once?

In particular, the Minister of War and many generals announced that the rogue rebellion would be put down within three months.

Now it is the end of the fourth month, not only have the rogues not been wiped out, but they have wiped out a lot of the officers and soldiers.

The soldiers inevitably declined.

Hong Chengchou was too lazy to wipe Fu Zonglong's ass, there are countless dangers in Sichuan, let him resist every step of the way.

Hong Chengchou could lead his troops into Sichuan until he fought He Jinchao to death, or when He Jinchao led troops into the hinterland of Sichuan.

He cut off the connection between He Jinchao and Shanshan in one fell swoop, and wiped out He Jinchao, the leader of the hammer bandit in Sichuan.

As for how many people would die to lure He Jinzhao, it was never in Hong Chengchou's consideration.

When does the person who holds the pieces need to consider the feelings of the pieces?
This can be regarded as Fu Zonglong's redemption.

Hong Chengchou didn't even read Fu Zonglong's documents, so he just ignored them.

Let him deal with He Jinzhao himself, and he will have a chance to make a move until the two of them kill each other to the death.

Otherwise, once you beat the snake and survive, you will eventually be bitten by the snake.

Hong Chengchou looked at the map and thought about how to plan Zhang Xianzhong's wave. It would be best to kill him directly and destroy the leader of this team.

After winning one battle, send someone to try to collude with the rest of the anti-thief leaders to see if anyone is willing to kill Zhang Xianzhong like he killed Wang Chengyin.

In short, all the tricks that can be used are used.

Xiong Wencan originally wanted to try to appease him, but Zhang Xianzhong's supernatural power gave him a headache, so he could only continue to ask the court for soldiers.

Chongzhen could only send out 2 imperial troops, and thousands of Jinyiwei were led by internal officials to support Xiong Wencan.

The apparent strength of Xiong Wencan's men has risen to 12 horses.

Moreover, Chongzhen also gave specific combat instructions, asking them to drive all small groups of rebels from various places into Huguang and southern Henan, and wait for an opportunity to wipe out these rogues.

But Xiong Wencan is really an outsider when it comes to suppressing bandits and commanding battles. He can only follow the orders of the court and has no plans of his own.

Not only did he have no idea to encircle and suppress these people, but he also sent people to broadcast notices in private, recruiting the rebels to give them amnesty and other conditions.

Zhang Xianzhong naturally sneered at the behavior of the officers and soldiers recruiting.

Sure enough, if he couldn't beat him, he came to appease him. The newly appointed prime minister is a piece of trash, no match for Lu Xiangsheng.

There is no need to be afraid of him at all.

Only a fool would agree to appease.

But after Liu Guoneng got the news of the imperial court's appeasement, his heart was beating, and he had some ideas.

　Thanks for the sponsorship of 500 taels of silver from the bird of paradise who fainted.
