The second month of the lunar calendar is always very short, starting from the southern army of the rebel army's attack into Huaiqing Prefecture, to the great destruction of Zhu Dadian, the governor of the grain transportation and the governor of Fengyang;

Then he went to Yuan Shizhong, Hua County, Daming Prefecture, and led the hungry people to raise an army until Hong Chengchou conquered Weihui Prefecture and drove Yang Sichang and Zhu Dadian to Zhangde Prefecture. The time finally came March.

On the second day of the second month of the ninth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the spring breeze of Puban Ferry was warm, and the green willows and blue waves complemented each other, and there was a spring scene everywhere.

However, Zheng Jiadong, the general stationed here, looked at such a beautiful scenery, but he did not feel any charm in his heart.

Pubanjin, which was once very lively, is now deserted, with only a few small boats floating among the waves.

Pubanjin, also known as Pujin Pass and Daqing Pass, is located four miles outside the west gate of Puzhou, opposite to Shaanxi across the river.

Since ancient times, there has been something in the world. There is no one who fights for the might of the river and the mountains meet.

Hedong is the silence of Shaanxi Mountain, and Puban is the silence of Hedong.

Therefore, for the rebels who fought in the eastern expedition, this place was a place where military strategists must fight; for the Ming army stationed in Shanxi, it was a dangerous place.

Historically, the east bank of the Yellow River was called Pubanjin, and the west bank of the Yellow River was called Xiayangjin.

Later, Xiayangjin, on the west bank of the Yellow River, was renamed Linjin Pass and Daqing Pass.

Originally, there was a floating bridge between the ferry crossings of these two places for people to pass through.

As a result, in the fifth year of the Song Jiayou River, the bridge broke down, so it was unable to use it, so it could only be ferryed by boat.

In the 26th year of Wanli, the river bank collapsed and moved westward, and the original Heguan was left in Hedong, so that Shaanxi had to establish a new Heguan and restore the river transportation.

However, this also led to an enclave in Chaoyi County, Tongzhou, Shaanxi Province, which was left on the east bank of the Yellow River.

Now the genital general Zheng Jiadong is standing along the coast of this legacy enclave, looking at the rolling Yellow River and worried.

"General, in the past half month, the thieves have been frequently mobilized in food and grass, and they may have made big moves in the past few days!" Some spies have already reported that they were rushing to report.

"I understand!" Zheng Jiadong nodded calmly, without saying a word of extra nonsense.

Although communication technology is backward in this era, it does not mean that both sides of the war are deaf and blind.

Any mature regime has spies in the enemy's territory to collect intelligence. Once one side has any abnormal movement, the other can prepare early.

When the rebel army first started mobilizing, it pretended to be "wanting to attack Hanzhong", which made some confusing the judgments of the whole country in Shanxi.

However, as the rebel army's actions became more and more unscrupulous and larger, more and more signs showed that the rebel army was preparing to attack Shanxi on a large scale, so how could it coax people?

Now there are only more than a thousand defenders in Pubandu. How can we resist these rebels who are like wolves and tigers?

"General, do you want to... report it to the new governor?" The left and right had already broken his heart and could not help but suggest.

"I have already reported it, so there is no need to worry. I guess there will be no result if I wait for ten or eight days!" Zheng Jiadong shook his head with a wry smile.

The mobilization of this era was very slow. Not to mention the corrupt Ming Dynasty, even the rebel army planned this expedition for three or four months.

Now, even if Zheng Jiadong and others report the emergency military information, what can they do?

Gu Ma

Who among the Ming Dynasty and the opposition could have the ability to suddenly form a hundred thousand troops to block the "super thieves" on the west bank of the Yellow River?

"Send the order to strengthen the alert along the Yellow River and beware of the thieves smuggling. The others have sorted out their armor, polished their swords and guns, and ready to fight at any time!" Zheng Jiadong thought for a while, and could only do some preparations within his ability.

The left and right heard this and was shocked and said in a dismay: "General, if the thief attacks in large numbers, how can we stop it by just over a thousand people?"

"Don't worry, although there are many thieves, how can there be a barrier between the Yellow River? How can there be a reason to fly over?" Zheng Jiadong smiled when he heard this.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he was afraid of causing dissatisfaction among the people, and added: "If it is really a last resort, Zheng will not hit the stone with an egg. Please rest assured!"

Zheng Jiadong is not a fool. He doesn't care about his future, but also about his own wealth and life.

How much appetite does it have to eat? Does it mean that you can still resist the 100,000 troops of "subsistence"?

So after hearing the questions from both sides, he had to make a verbal guarantee in advance so that he would not be "borrowed for use" by others.

Not to mention how Zheng Jiadong, who was stationed in Pubanjin, thought about it, and at this time, General Chen Changye, the west general, rushed back to Xi'an City thousands of miles away.

"Your Highness King Shun!" Chen Changyan, who had not had time to greet Zhang Shundao, was the first to pay homage to him.

"Brother Yi, sit down and rest!" Zhang Shun asked happily, "I don't know if the injury has healed?"

"No...it's okay!" Chen Changye couldn't help but touch his neck awkwardly when he heard this.

He is not afraid of heaven or earth, but he is afraid that Zhang Shun will talk to him when he comes back.

Before the Western Expedition, Zhang Shun repeatedly told him not to take risks, but he rushed up again after a fever, and almost left his life there. How can he face Zhang Shun now?

"It's fine!" Zhang Shun did not get angry this time, but instead smiled gently.

"My sister-in-law also gave birth to children for you. If you have a few shortcomings, I will raise your wife, so don't worry about it!"

Don’t you like to wear a cuckold? If you play like this, I will give you a really cuckold. Do you still reckless?

Chen Changye was amused and laughed and hurriedly begged: "Your Highness, King Shun, I have changed. Please spare me this!"

His wife Wang is old and fierce. Of course, Chen Changye did not think that Zhang Shun, who had many wives and concubines, would be greedy for her beauty.

"I'm really convinced. I can't even understand how there will be someone like you who likes to lick blood from the knife in the middle of the day!" Zhang Shun shook his head and sighed.

"Forget it, I won't talk to you about this!"

"Cao Wenzhao has already led the vanguard to Tongzhou. It is estimated that the attack will be launched tonight or tomorrow morning. I should lead the army to fight!"

"I want you and Lu Weiqi to stay in Shaanxi. I wonder what you mean?"

"Don't worry, King Shun, I will definitely help Mr. Lu to take care of Shaanxi in order for you!" Zhang Shun had already communicated with him when Chen Changye was appointed as the left-behind general, so he naturally responded.

In fact, according to Chen Changye's thoughts, even if he could not serve as the commander of the All-Road Army in the east, he should at least serve as the vanguard of the Central Army.

However, Zhang Shunshu had no confidants to use, so he could only entrust this land in Shaanxi to his righteous brother.
