"Superintendent, Taiyuan Mansion is ahead. I have already taken people to explore the road ahead. There is no danger. The officers and soldiers have basically eliminated the bandits in Shanxi. Lord Fang Mengting has sent people to greet you at Taiyuan Mansion. However, Lord Fang because of

Military affairs are urgent. We are still on the front line on the north bank of the Yellow River and cannot come back for the time being.

He expressed his deep apologies to the Superintendent." A flag officer was riding his horse and following a carriage with a respectful expression. It was obvious that there must be some important person sitting in the carriage. Yes, this carriage was the newly-appointed Trilateral Commander.

The car of Governor Yang Sichang. After Yang Sichang received the appointment from Chongzhen, he immediately left the capital without stopping.

In order to show his care and love for Yang Sichang, Chongzhen even sent a team of Jinyi guards to go with Yang Sichang to protect his safety. Therefore, the size of Yang Sichang's trip this time was not small. Counting Yang Sichang's own personal guards and some of the accompanying officers and soldiers, there were actually

Reaching thousands of people. The speed of this team's advance

Unhappy, because most of them are infantry, the weather is cold, and their mobility is also restricted. So when this army entered Shanxi, the situation in Henan and Huguang had already changed a lot, and Yang Sichang had been

We are on the move, so we cannot keep track of news from the front line in a timely manner.

Today, Yang Sichang entered Taiyuan Mansion. Originally, Fang Mengting should have welcomed him at Taiyuan Mansion. However, due to the emergency of the war, Fang Mengting could not rush back to see Yang Sichang, so he had to send his men to wait for Yang Sichang to arrive in Taiyuan Mansion to apologize to Yang Sichang. Yang Sichang chose

This route is relatively close, because Henan has been reduced to a pot of porridge, and Jiubian is obviously not safe, so we can only go from just

Shanxi, which had just experienced a war, was passing by. The Jin Yiwei who accompanied them had already gone out to explore the road. Generally speaking, Shanxi was safe. After Fang Mengting defeated Luo Rucai and others' team, he also actively divided his troops to eliminate the remaining enemies. Therefore, currently, most of the troops in Shanxi are

There were no stray thieves. Even if there were some small ones, they were still hundreds of people roaring in the mountains and forests. They didn't dare to think anything wrong about the thousands of officers and soldiers.

"Pu Zongqi, thank you for your hard work. We won't stop in Taiyuan Prefecture. It's not that I don't understand the soldiers, but the situation on the front line is really confusing. The earlier we get to Xi'an, the earlier we can understand the situation. Although Chen Qiyu has stepped down.

, but I have to clean up this mess so that I can live up to the trust of the Holy Emperor and the court. It seems that only Sun Baigu, a student of Hong Chengchou, is left in Shaanxi. I have to go and ask about the situation. So..." Yang Sichang

Some were hesitant to speak. The chief flag officer of Jinyiwei immediately clasped his fists and said: "What the Superintendent said is absolutely true. Military affairs are important. The purpose of this humble post is to deliver the Superintendent safely to Xi'an Mansion. I will not hide anything from the Superintendent. When I come out, your Majesty will

I have already given the imperial order. If the governor needs it, I can stay with him. Since the governor is in a hurry to go to Xi'an, I will immediately convey the governor's intention to the whole army. The brothers are all used to fighting.

, they won’t complain.”

Yang Sichang glanced at the chief flag officer, and then looked away. This chief flag officer was quite talented. He seemed to be straightforward in his speech, but in fact he had a hidden meaning. When high officials from the imperial court were leaving the capital, they were followed by imperial guards. In fact, Yang Sichang knew better than anyone else. On the surface, Yang Sichang knew better than anyone else.

The Holy One cares about and protects him, and is not worried about his safety. He sends the emperor's personal troops to accompany him to protect him.

In fact, it's just an excuse. Don't forget, the biggest role of the Jinyi Guards is to monitor the imperial officials. This team around Yang Sichang is actually the eyes and ears of the Holy Emperor. Just now, the chief flag officer said that if Yang Sichang needs him, he can stay with Yang Sichang

Listen to those around you. Haha, this is just a euphemism. Does Yang Sichang dare not use it?

However, what Yang Sichang just said was true. He was suddenly entrusted with an important task by the Holy Emperor. Yang Sichang had no idea. To put it bluntly, although the plan he submitted had been reviewed countless times in his mind, it could also be said that he had rehearsed it countless times at home.

, but the real battlefield is not a child’s play house, any tiny mistake will cause

It might lead to irreversible consequences. So he didn't dare to rely on him. Even though Sun Chuanting's current reputation in the court was not good, he was his senior after all, or he must have more experience in fighting against bandits than himself, so Yang Sichang

I was anxious to go to Xi'an Prefecture to meet the officers and generals who participated in the campaign to suppress bandits, so I naturally had no intention of staying in Taiyuan Prefecture.

The official sent by Fang Mengting was a little embarrassed. Apparently, the task given to him by Fang Mengting was to give him a grand welcome to the governor. Unexpectedly, the governor didn't give him any face. He didn't even want to go in and take a look at Taiyuan Prefecture. In fact, Taiyuan Prefecture

Still relatively unaffected,

When the Chu army was raging in southwestern Shanxi, Fang Mengting led his troops to defend Taiyuan. Although the people were all nervous and worried about their own safety, fortunately, Fang Mengting and his Ming army fought hard and managed to hold Taiyuan. Yang Sichang insisted on leaving.

Naturally, local officials did not dare to stop them.

A large amount of supplies could be replenished for Yang Sichang's troops, and the team of a thousand people continued to march towards Shaanxi. Thousands of miles away in Gushi, Henan, Zhang Xianzhong's army was storming Gushi City. Zuo Liangyu, who had moved here, never expected that

This time Zhang Xianzhong actually had such great determination

, as if he was determined to break through from Gushi. Only then did he realize that Zhang Xianzhong just wanted to attack Southern Zhili. Huge pressure fell on Zuo Liangyu's shoulders. Once the army broke through Gushi and entered Southern Zhili,

Even if he threatens the city of Nanjing, Zuo Liangyu will not be able to behead him even if he has nine heads.

"Kill the officers and soldiers! Kill the officers and soldiers!" A voice like a tsunami came, and 200,000 intruders, led by Zhang Xianzhong, began a crazy siege. All of this started with Zuo Liangyu's move to defend Gushi City.

Zuo Liangyu listened to his son's wishes that day.

See, instead of fighting Zhang Xianzhong in the hinterland of Henan, the entire army moved to Gushi and turned it into a big fortress. All the troops were concentrated to defend and defend it to the death. As long as Zhang Xianzhong could not leave Henan, South Zhili must not let him

tainted.

Zuo Liangyu's ideals are very full, but the reality is very skinny. Zhang Xianzhong almost jumped up with joy after learning that Zuo Liangyu was guarding Gushi City. Originally, if Zuo Liangyu had the same courage as Qin Liangyu to confront the Chu army, he would

He would definitely send troops to Ruzhou to intercept him, but he retreated directly to Gushi, which shows that Zuo Liangyu has a guilty conscience, or he thinks that his troops are lucky.

Ma will only attack various parts of Henan and is not interested in other places. But he guessed wrong. He had to enter South Zhili this time. Among Qin Liangyu behind him and Zuo Liangyu in front of him, Zhang Xianzhong was obviously more willing to fight with him.

When Zuo Liangyu fought, both of them were named Liangyu, but the gap between a man and a woman leading troops was too big. How could Zuo Liangyu, a dog officer, stop him?

In order to confuse Zuo Liangyu, Zhang Xianzhong directly asked Ai Nengqi to lead 30,000 troops through Gushi County, so that Zuo Liangyu on the top of the city could see their movements clearly. Ai Nengqi's forward army turned a blind eye to Gushi County, which made Zuo Liangyu

Liangyu and his subordinates were in a panic. Even Zuo Menggeng, who had put forward the suggestion, did not expect that Zhang Xianzhong did not follow the routine at all. He actually wanted to go directly through Gushi City and fight to Nanzhili.

(Fisherman's note, here is a knowledge point for everyone. I believe many people are like fishermen. When they were children, they had this question when watching TV or reading books. Two countries, A and B, are at war. Party A sends a large army to defend a city. Then,

Why can't Party B's troops bypass this city and not follow them?

Fight with heavy troops, and then attack their weak areas? Are the generals of Party B a fool? In fact, this is not the case. Whether it is an ancient war or a modern war, if the defender sends troops to guard a certain location, then this location must be the opponent's

The only way to pass, or the geographical location is important

The place. The reason why Party B cannot bypass this city is often because this city is enough to cut off Party B's supply line. Especially in ancient wars, this is extremely obvious. It is impossible to send a large number of troops to defend a long supply line, and then one's own rear will be

You must not leave any nails for the enemy, otherwise

, the main force is on the front line, and the enemy forces in the city behind suddenly attack to cut off the supply line, the front line will become chaotic without fighting. This is why the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army established anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, and the Japanese army continued to launch mopping up campaigns. Because these forces remained behind

The enemies behind them are always threatening their supply lines.)

But Zhang Xianzhong didn't do this. Ai Nengqi's 30,000 troops passed directly over Gushi, followed by Liu Wenxiu's troops, and then Sun Kewang's troops, 10,000, 30,000, 50,000, 70,000, or 100,000.

When the army passed by Gushi, Zuo Liangyu suddenly realized something. Did Zhang Xianzhong not intend to fight him at all, nor did he intend to attack Gushi County?

Anyway, although there are many bandits, they also need a lot of supplies, but they have the easiest way to obtain supplies, which is to rob, and that is to eat from the enemy. As long as Zhang Xianzhong abandons the supply line behind him, it seems that he can really ignore Gushi

The county's own Zuo Liangyu panicked. If Zhang Xianzhong just passed under his nose, how could he?

Zuo Liangyu couldn't wait any longer. He asked Zuo Menggeng to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city. At the same time, he led 5,000 elite soldiers out of the city to attack Zhang Xianzhong. He must attract Zhang Xianzhong's attention to Gushi County. But Zuo Liangyu

What Liangyu didn't know was that Zhang Xianzhong was waiting for this moment. He asked his three adopted sons to lead an army of 100,000 people in batches from Gushi County.

The purpose of passing by was to make Zuo Liangyu panic and make him think that he just passed through the wild and entered South Zhili. If he panicked, he would definitely send people out of the city, and he would lead the remaining troops to prepare behind. Zuo Liangyu
