Since the talks in Shaanxi Province, powerful figures such as the Governor-General and the General Soldier have left Shaanxi Province one after another and began to encircle and suppress the rebels in charge of each other according to Chen Qiyu's arrangements. Among them, the first to take action was Hong Chengchou, the Governor-General of the three sides.

Originally, all Hong Chengchou's soldiers were in Qingyang and Pingliang to encircle and suppress Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng, who had escaped from Xi'an City. Now they have also withdrawn from Qingyang and Pingliang. This made Gao Yingxiang, who was being pursued, jump up and down, and the chickens and dogs were restless.

, Li Zicheng and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.

The commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Jiang Guangxian and the commander-in-chief of Ningxia Ma Shilong who succeeded Hong Chengchou were very different from Hong Chengchou's Hong Army. They were both military generals, and even their own salaries had been in arrears for 34 years, let alone the following.

They are low-level soldiers, and they are lucky if they can survive until now. Expecting such soldiers to encircle and suppress the two big bandits Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng is tantamount to wishful thinking.

How could Chen Qiyu, who had been the governor of Yansui for several years, not know these circumstances? However, between Pei Xiaoer, Gao Yingxiang, and Li Zicheng, Chen Qiyu chose Pei Xiaoer, who posed the greatest threat to the imperial court.

On the official road to the Qinling Mountains, Hong Chengchou was in the middle of the army. Seeing that the army was about to enter the Qinling Mountains, he couldn't help but sigh.

The staff on the side noticed Hong Chengchou's pessimism and couldn't help but persuade him: "Sir, Pei Xiaoer is entrenched in Hanzhong, with a hundred thousand troops, and good generals with strong crossbows to guard the key points. To attack, our army needs to cross the vast Qinling Mountains and break through."

There are dangerous passes along the way before we can enter Hanzhong. It would be unwise to attack them at this time."

Hong Chengchou sighed and said: "I don't know what you said. It's just that the emperor is asking about it and the governors of five provinces are urging me. How can I ignore it? I'm just doing my best to obey the destiny."

When the staff heard this, they not only felt sad, but also thought that Hong Chengchou, a disciple of the emperor, was in a dangerous position as the governor of the three sides and could not decide his own fate. And they, villains, could only be swayed left and right by the wind.

When Hong Chengchou arrived at Wuxiuguan, the 3rd level guard Gao suddenly felt like Mount Tai pressing down on him. The 3rd level Gao did not dare to be careless and hurriedly wrote to Pei Xiaosan in Baocheng County behind him, asking for reinforcements.

When Pei Xiaosan heard that Hong Chengchou was coming in person, he did not dare to neglect, and personally led his troops north to support Wuxiuguan and prepare for Hong Chengchou's attack. At the same time, Li County and Dashan Pass received news that the imperial army was about to move, and the enemy troops on both sides

When the attack came, Liu Zhizu felt the pressure doubled.

Fortunately, Liu Zhizu was the strongest force in the Pei family's army. Therefore, despite simultaneous attacks from the west and north, Liu Zhizu was still able to barely hold on.

Not only that, Wang Daozhi in Yunyang also sent a message back. A large army of the imperial court was found outside Junzhou City. It was expected that Yunyang would be besieged by officers and soldiers.

The news that the three sides in the north were under attack quickly reached the ears of Pei Xiaoer, who was still in Guangyuan. For a moment, a trace of worry flashed in Pei Xiaoer's eyes. Now the army was blocked and the sword gate was closed, and they could not move forward even an inch.

, for a long time, the soldiers will inevitably become war-weary.

The only good news may be that Li Guojun of Ziyang unexpectedly broke through the encirclement of the officers and soldiers and broke into the hinterland of Sichuan, which really surprised Pei Xiaoer. However, Li Guojun's troops were too small to fight against the officers and soldiers of Jianzhou.

How useful it will be is yet to be seen.

At this time, two armies, Lu Xiangsheng and Chen Qiyu, located in Yunyang, began to attack Junzhou.

At this time, Junzhou had been in the hands of Pei's army for more than half a year, and the people had surrendered and the city defenses were strong. Chen Qiyu sent a large number of troops to the interior of Yunyang, spreading throughout Yunxi, Zhuxi, Zhushan County, Fang County and other places.

After these fine works entered the local area, they shuttled between the wealthy squires in various counties. After the Pei Jiajun entered Yunyang, they had not yet had time to clean up the wealthy and large households in the Yunyang area. In addition, the tax policy carried out by the Pei Jiajun, as well as Liu Xianchun's actions some time ago,

Some policies have greatly harmed the interests of these people, causing these people to hate the Pei family army to the core.

Therefore, when Chen Qiyu's fine work was inspired by his eloquent words and Chen Qiyu's personal letter of promise, the big households near Yunyang immediately won the favor and responded in large numbers.

These large households have money, food, and more importantly, people. When these factors are mixed together, a terrible thing happens. A large number of rioters seem to appear out of thin air, and once they appear, they can quickly take over a large number of unsuspecting people.

The people at the bottom, the county magistrates and other officials sent by the Pei family's military government did not show their kindness and power in the local area. They were no match for these local big families, and they were attacked by the big families.

In just five days, the magistrates of Fangxian, Zhuxi, Yunxi and other counties were killed or expelled one after another, and the county fell. All the people in the city who had been close to the Pei family's army in the past were settled by these people.

Lu was hanged openly at Caishikou, shocking the people.

The chaos quickly spread to the innocent people around. A large number of people were not members of the Pei family army at all. They were framed by these people, deprived of their land and property, and expelled from the country.

Wang Daozhi was confused by the sudden attack. At first, he sent an army of 3,000 people to encircle and suppress the thieves in an attempt to strangle the thieves in their infancy. However, Wang Daozhi soon knew what he had done.

It was all in vain. After destroying one bandit army, within three days, two, three or even four bandits would appear to fill the gap. At this moment, Wang Daozhi finally realized Chongzhen's helplessness.

After realizing that this was not possible, Wang Daozhi quickly changed his strategy and mobilized the army back, all deployed in Junzhou, Yunguan, and Yunxian areas. This place is the only way from Huguang to Yunyang, just like Shanhaiguan is to the pass.

The importance is the same. If these three lands cannot be captured, the officers and soldiers can only wander outside Junzhou and dare not make the slightest move.

However, Chen Qiyu was not a vegetarian. After understanding Wang Daozhi's strategy, he quickly came up with his own countermeasures. Since the officers and soldiers could not enter, he could also disrupt the Pei family's army's inner circle and prevent the Pei family army from invading Shu with all its strength.

Soon, Chen Qiyu's meticulous work continued upstream along the Han River, leading the rebellion to Baihe, Xunyang, Jinzhou and other places. It even tended to develop towards Hanzhong.

At this time, even Pei Xiaoer of Guangyuan could not sit still. Hanzhong was not only the retreat route for the Pei family's army, but also the logistics supply place for the Pei family's army to attack. Without Hanzhong, the Pei family's army's attack on Sichuan would be like floating on water.

Ping was blown away by someone and disappeared into ashes. At this time, Pei Xiaoer finally began to think about the feasibility of retreating.

Just when the Pei family army was in grave danger, Zhang Xianzhong, who was far away in Zhenyang, also fell into the underestimation of life. At first, Zuo Liangyu's attack became more urgent, and Zhang Xianzhong fled in embarrassment. Later, he met Wang Bingzhong. Wang Bingzhong suggested that he attack Fengyang, and Zhang Xianzhong for his own sake

I agreed to the benefits.

Later, Zuo Liangyu was called to Shaanzhou by the governors of five provinces, and the Zuozi camp that attacked Zhang Xianzhong retreated. Zhang Xianzhong suddenly became less urgent, so the attack on Fengyang was shelved. 1 Zhang Xianzhong thought that Fengyang

This is where the ancestral tomb of the old Zhu family is located, so it must be tightly defended. If we attack Fengyang, we don't know how many troops we will lose.

Next, Zhang Xianzhong is not a fool. He naturally knows that the officers and soldiers seem to have spent all their main forces on attacking Pei Xiaoer. Once he attacks Fengyang and digs up the ancestral graves of Lao Zhu's family, he will definitely fight to the death with Lao Zhu's family.

Naturally, Zhang Xianzhong would not do anything to take someone else's life out of the fire.

However, after Zuo Liangyu came back from Shaanzhou, he actually identified him Zhang Xianzhong, and made a gesture of not hanging Zhang Xianzhong's head on the wall and vowing never to look back. First, Zhang Xianzhong returned to Xiangcheng, and Zuo Liangyu came to attack.

The two sides fought in Xiangcheng, but Zhang Xianzhong was defeated and retreated 80 miles. Zuo Liangyu immediately pursued him, and the two sides fought again in Yangfu. Zhang Xianzhong was defeated again and fled south.

Now Zhang Xianzhong fled directly to Xinyang. Unexpectedly, Zuo Liangyu was a fool and pursued him to Xinyang. Zhang Xianzhong set up an ambush on the road and wanted to ambush Zuo Liangyu. Zuo Liangyu saw through it, and Zuo Liangyu used his plan to pretend to be ambushed.

After leading Zhang Xianzhong's army, they suddenly attacked and Zhang Xianzhong was defeated.

1Fleeing all the way to Zhenyang, Zhang Xianzhong1 saw that there were only 1,000 soldiers around him. Even these 1,000 people, the armors and weapons on their bodies had long gone. Even so, Zuo Liangyu's pursuers still remained.
