The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 125
In the eighth year of Chongzhen, the seventh day of December.

Shaanxi Province, Xi'an Prefecture.

Sanyuan and Ming army camps.

Hong Chengchou was wearing a red python robe, a black gauze hat with two wings on his head, soap shoes and a jade belt, and sat upright in the tent.

His body moved forward slightly, and his gaze was cast forward, as if he was looking at something.

All the generals in the tent sat in rows on both sides, all lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows, without saying a word.

In the center of the big tent, a guard in armor stood upright holding a tray in both hands.

What Hong Chengchou stared at was exactly what was on the tray in the hand of the guard.

Hong Chengchou stood up and stepped down from the first seat.

The expressions of all the generals and school sitting on the two sides changed, and their eyes were also on the guard standing in the center.

Originally, Hong Chengchou didn't have any other feelings, but he didn't know why when Chen Wang walked in, he only felt that the other people were carrying a heavy old energy, the vitality on Chen Wang and the old energy on everyone else. Conflict, seem out of place.

But now there is a piece of good news from Hanzhong Mansion that makes him extremely excited-Li Yangchun and Lin Shengquan are executed.

Over the past few days, Chen Wang's ability has been shown to be qualified for the position of guerrilla.

If I remember correctly, the person in charge of chasing and suppressing them was a new guerrilla general named Chen Wang, who was originally just a servant of Cao Wenzhao, who was promoted because of his military exploits.

It's just that the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse from then on.

Orders from the imperial court continued to come down, full of edicts to supervise and suppress.

The military order was passed down level by level, and finally reached the ears of Chen Wang, who had been waiting outside for a long time.

Then Li Zicheng, Guo Tianxing and other thirteenth battalions entered Yan'an Prefecture from Xi'an Prefecture, passed through Yijun and Yichuan, and went around to Hancheng. They wanted to wait until the Yellow River was frozen and then transferred to Shanxi to continue fighting.

Aren't Li Yangchun and Lin Shengquan the two bandits who ran from Fengxiang Mansion to Gongchang Mansion, and then went all the way to Hanzhong Mansion?

Sun Shoufa's face remained unchanged, his breathing was steady, even if thousands of troops in front of the battle could not frighten him, how could the dead heads frighten him?
And he also knew in advance why Hong Chengchou called him here.

Both of them are old thieves, one was the leader of the 24th Battalion, and the other was the leader of the 24th Battalion, and they were already famous very early on.

Hundreds of heavily armed soldiers with guns were guarding outside the tent of the Chinese army where Hong Chengchou was. Chen Wang passed by all the way, and he was under tremendous pressure in his heart.

From the moment Chen Wang walked into the tent, his eyes had already been on Chen Wang.

"Call Chen Wang into the tent to obey."

Chen Wang's eyes were slightly cold, but his originally calm mood still caused waves.

"There are many thieves and they are tyrannical. Although there are thousands of prisoners and slashers, it is still not a victory."

"Reporting to the military gate, the heads on the tray are the heads of the two thieves, Li Yangchun and Lin Shengquan."

On the tray, there are two round objects placed one on the left and one on the right, each covered with a piece of red cloth, making it hard to see what is underneath?
"Abiding by the law."

Then, the facts were in front of them, Li Yangchun and Lin Shengquan died just like that! ?

Chen Wang is not afraid of swords, lights and swords, but there are places in this world that are more dangerous than battlefields.

This year's Shaanxi is not as cold as before, and the river is not frozen.

A clever woman can't cook without rice, Hong Chengchou has a lot of gray hairs on his head these days, and his military strength is stretched, he has no way to break this situation.

He Renlong can't stand alone, so he can only retreat to the central part and Yijun stabilizes the situation.

As the objects lifted on the tray were exposed in front of everyone's eyes, the atmosphere in the entire big tent was also stagnant.

Knowledge of military training, mastery of equipment, and knowledge of warfare.

Glancing at the courteous guards in front of him, Chen Wang nodded, took a deep breath, and then stepped forward.

Seeing Chen Wang, Hong Chengchou's first impression was only one - young.

The two sides fought more than ten times, and the rogues robbed a lot of artillery. According to the city, Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong's soldiers were exhausted, and they fell into a stalemate for a while.

"... There are [-] counts of capture, death, injury and escape, and now there are still [-], and there are still strong enemies..."

But the crowd could not continue to think wildly, because Hong Chengchou had already opened his mouth to interrupt their thoughts.

Although Hong Chengchou didn't know Chen Wang before, he also learned about Chen Wang from Cao Wenzhao, and he already had a general impression in his heart.

It is not difficult to defeat tens of thousands of bandits with thousands of soldiers and horses. Which general and school here has not fought such a battle?
But with thousands of soldiers and horses to capture and kill two famous thieves, how can everyone believe it?
The generals in the tent had different thoughts, and some people were already wondering if it was Li Yangchun and Lin Shengquan who wanted to flee into Sichuan, but were defeated and killed by the Sichuan soldiers guarding the pass?

After Gao Yingxiang was defeated, he was unable to enter Luoyang again, but his troops were still numerous, so he turned to capture Guangzhou and Huoqiu, and marched northward, while Li Zicheng returned to Shaanxi.

But Zu Kuan had already blocked his way by waiting for work at leisure, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated, and nearly a thousand elite soldiers under his command were killed or injured, so he could only flee westward in a hurry.

Hong Chengchou narrowed his eyes slightly, the light in his pupils was flowing, and his mind was spinning a thousand times.

Not because of youthful appearance, nor because of age.

Hong Chengchou beckoned lightly, and Sun Shoufa, who was sitting beside him, stood up in response to his name and walked closer.

All the generals in the tent turned their gazes to the two heads on the tray, and the eyes of many people showed astonishment.

Stepping into the tent, Chen Wang bowed his head without hesitation.

Lu Xiangsheng dispatched all the troops to attack from all directions to encircle and suppress.

Hong Chengchou turned his head, gestured to the left and right guards, and the left and right guards stepped forward knowingly, and took off the two pieces of red cloth in the tray.

"Military order, General Chen please enter the tent and obey orders."

In the first battle of Chunhua, Gao Jie defected and cooperated with him inside and outside. With the help of this miraculous achievement, he was directly promoted from a small officer to a guerrilla.

The good news is that Cao Wenzhao wiped out the remaining thieves in Fengxiang Mansion and Pingliang Mansion.

As a guerrilla, Chen Wang should only have two or three thousand soldiers under his command.

What they met was Lu Xiangsheng who personally led the army.

"In the first, second, and third months of the ninth year (nine years), all of Chuang Wang's shares must be wiped out first, and the remaining thieves can be wiped out one after another.

"Humble job Chen Wang, knock on the gate of the army."

Especially that Li Yangchun, who is famous for his good defense, many of the generals and schools in the tent have fought against him before, and know the depth of him.

Since the end of the Sanyuan War, in the past few months, he has only received one piece of good news.

"Xiaozhi once saw these two thieves in the bandit camp. Although they only met a few times, they would never be wrong."

Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng led another way to attack Queshan from Yanshi and Gongxian.

Lu Xiangsheng wrote:

Hong Chengchou beckoned again, and the left and right guards covered the red cloth again. The guard holding the tray lowered his head slightly, and slowly retreated with the tray in both hands.

Hong Chengchou sat high on the main seat, condescendingly watching Chen Wang below.

If you say you're not nervous, it's definitely a lie.

But now the heads of the two were sent to Sanyuan in this way.

The trend of bandits gathering together was basically disintegrated by Lu Xiangsheng, and they returned to the state of fighting each other again. The biggest crisis has been resolved.

Although Lin Shengquan was worse than Li Yangchun, but his martial arts were extraordinary, and the multilateral cavalry under his command were also very difficult to deal with.

Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying, Cao Cao Luo Ru and others were defeated and dispersed, and they could only occupy themselves in the chaotic mountains of Xunyang and Shangluo.

Hong Chengchou sat back on the first seat, his brows that were originally tightly furrowed finally relaxed.

In addition, Hong Chengchou never received any good news in Shaanxi. What he received was urgent documents and reports of defeat...

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and this time the light of destiny seemed to shine on the Ming Empire again.

In November, Li Zicheng and Xiezikuai had a total of 4 to [-] soldiers, and Guotianxing, Mantianxing, and Huntianxing had a total of [-] soldiers and horses. The two armies joined forces in Tongguan County, Xi'an Prefecture at the end of November.

"During the past two months between Ru, Wan, He and Luo, I have been extremely busy..."

What Hong Chengchou saw from Chen Wang was a vitality that was completely different from others.

Sun Shoufa's decisive tone made Hong Chengchou's brows slightly relaxed.

Zhang Xianzhong led the First Route Army to attack Songshan and Jiufengshan from Ruzhou.

How did these two people die?

After the victory of the rogue bandits in Yan Township, Gao Yingxiang officially raised the banner, divided into thirteen families, raised 72 battalions, and numbered an army of one million.

"Thanks to the promotion of the army, the humble leader led the army to fight all the way, and finally defeated the bandits in Ningqiang, and made great achievements in one fell swoop."

Divide the troops into two groups and head east in a big way.

Although I heard that they defeated Li Yangchun and Lin Shengquan once with the soldiers of Gongchangfu, it was said to be a big victory.

What He Renlong and Zhang Quanchang had achieved with great difficulty was lost again, and when Zhang Quanchang was chasing the bandits, he encountered an ambush, and Zhang Quanchang was finally defeated and captured.

The chaotic mountains are separated by heavy mountains inside and outside, and there are officers and soldiers on the outside waiting to be attacked, and the various ministries and battalions cannot help each other.

But everyone knew about Nalu's military exploits, most of the people killed and wounded were hungry soldiers and infantry, and few were fine cavalry.

What was placed on the tray was not delicacies, let alone gold, silver and jewelry, but two hideous heads.

If it was said that Chen Wang killed him, they would not believe it.

Now Li Zicheng, Zhang Tianlin and others are stationed in Hancheng County in Xi'an Prefecture to confront Cao Wenzhao, He Renlong, Gao Jie and other ministries.

And the camp in front of us is definitely a more dangerous place than the battlefield, if you make a wrong step, you will be in the abyss!
"General Chen, please."

There were also 15 battalions of soldiers and horses gathered together, including the king of meritorious service, with a total of tens of thousands of cavalry and tens of thousands of cavalry soldiers.

The governor of Shanxi, Wu Zhen, strengthened the river defense force again, but the plan of Li Zicheng, Guo Tianxing and others to enter the Jin Dynasty failed to materialize.

As a result, there was no suspense. The Ming army won a big victory, killed tens of thousands of people, and broke the siege of Luoyang in one battle.

Hong Chengchou could only send Gao Jie and Cao Wenzhao to lead the troops north to help He Renlong.

However, just a few months ago, he was just a nobody, an ordinary servant.

He sent people to Liaodong to investigate, and found nothing wrong.

But precisely because there is nothing wrong, it is the most wrong thing.

Because according to Chen Wang's current ability, it is absolutely impossible to be silent for a full eight years.
