Chapter 494 Chaos
"Okay, it's a man. Unfortunately, there's no wine today, otherwise I will drink a few drinks with you." Gao Yingxiang praised, and then asked, "Who wants to go to Huguang?"
"I'll go."
"I'm willing to go to Huguang."
Unlike Shanxi just now, Huguang is a place with a dense population and is most exciting. What is the most exciting thing is that there are no strong military troops in Huguang. No wonder so many people are rushing to go to such a place.
Gao Yingxiang did not agree, but turned around and asked Li Zicheng next to him: "Zicheng, you didn't speak, could you stay in Shaanxi?"
"That's right." To everyone's expectations, Li Zicheng did not refute, but just agreed lightly.
Li Zicheng's statement instantly attracted everyone's attention. Gao Yingxiang was a little puzzled and said, "You have thought about it. It seems that Hong Chengchou will still be able to Shaanxi at 1:30. If you stay in Shaanxi, you may fight with Hong Chengchou at any time. With your current military strength, you may not be able to defeat Hong Chengchou."
"The King of Chuang is right, Brother Li, otherwise you will go to Shanxi with your brother to make a fuss?" Lao Hui teased.
"No need. I have been thinking about staying in Shaanxi for a long time, so it won't bother with my brothers. On the contrary, there are many people going to Huguang. If no one mediates from it, maybe our rebel army will kill each other and make a move that their relatives are hurting their enemies. So I think that the King of Chuang should also go to Huguang. This will make the rebel army stand firmer faster."
Going to Huguang? Gao Yingxiang touched his chin and pondered. In fact, it is all fake to say that he doesn't want to go. There are many people in Huguang, with a lot of land and food. It is said that Huguang is familiar with and has enough food. It is said that Huguang is familiar with and has a lot of money. It is a wonderful place, and you will know that as long as you go, you will definitely grow and grow and double your power.
However, Gao Yingxiang was considering that if he, the King of Rebellion, did not go to dangerous places and instead hid behind others, wouldn’t this greatly reduce his prestige and be disgusted?
Gao Yingxiang looked at Lao Huihui, Cao Cao, Chuangtatian and others. When they saw these people looking up at the sky, looking down at the feet, or wandering around, in short, no one was willing to stand up and "strongly recommend" Chuangwang to Huguang. This made Gao Yingxiang a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Gao Yingxiang was like this, Li Zicheng could not understand what the other party was thinking. He was just unable to show his shame. So he said, "You may be careful when you go to Huguang. Huguang is very close to Nanzhili, and the power of the Nanzhili official army is still there. Once our rebel army enters Huguang, maybe the official army in Nanzhili will go up the Yangtze River and attack our rebel army. If the rebel king does not go to Huguang, it will be difficult to deal with it by relying solely on others."
Gao Yingxiang then let go and said, "Since that's the case, I will go on a trip to Huguang. When my rebel army defeats the officers and soldiers in Jiangnan for my rebels, I will fight side by side with my brothers on the north."
The decision has been made, and Gao Yingxiang is not an indecisive person. He immediately lets everyone take the plate and take action on their own.
When they returned to their respective army, some timids packed their luggage that night and left Xi'an. The other bold people rushed until dawn on the third day before leaving. The city of Xi'an has returned to its former peace, but the corpses that were tall at the bottom of the city, the potholes left on the blue walls, and whether they could see the old arrows, suggesting that this place had just experienced a great battle.
At the end of October 7, Li Zicheng led his headquarters to Linzhou alone, while the other main forces of the rebel army continued to leave Shaanxi. In mid-October 7, Shanzhou was defeated, and at the end of October 7, the Lu family surrendered to the rebel army.
On the 8th day of the first lunar month of the 8th year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang led a large number of rebel troops to invade Nanyang and Runing, and forcing Huguang. On February 10th, Luo Rucai suddenly left the main force of the rebel army, went north from Runing, and successively defeated Xuzhou, Changge, Fugou, Yanling, Taikang, Xihua, Shangshui, and then rushed north, joining forces with Zhang Xianzhong at Guide Prefecture.
At the same time, on the tenth day of March, Gao Yingxiang arrived in Suizhou and then led his army to attack Suizhou on the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day
Huguang Governor Tang Hui recruited troops to respond to the enemy, and at the same time climbed the city to eat and live with the soldiers. He held on for more than a month. On April 25, after Gao Yingxiang confirmed that he could not capture Yingtian, he could only change the direction, Mianyang, Jingling, Qianjiang and Bingfeng were directly aimed at Jingzhou.
The rebel army suddenly came out from Shaanxi and rushed around in the heart of the Ming Dynasty, and became increasingly fierce. Chongzhen in the capital could no longer sit still. On the 8th of February, Chongzhen ordered the appointment of the governor of three sides, Hong Chengchou, to be appointed as the crown prince Taibao, the title of Minister of War, and to governors of Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Huguang, 4 Sichuan, Jiangbei, and Shandong for his merits.
On March 20, 20, Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou led the main force to Shaanxi and met the troops in Xinyang. At this time, although the elite soldiers in the world gathered in Liaodong, there were still many elite soldiers in the pass. This time, the elite soldiers collected by Hong Chengchou included 20,000 Hong army, 18,000 troops, 2,000 Iron Cavalry of Guanning, 5,000 Zhending soldiers, 3,000 Jizhou soldiers, and 3,000 chieftain soldiers.
However, on March 209, the soldiers of Jizhou arrived at Xingtai and suddenly mutinized and killed the chief officer. The remaining troops disappeared without a trace. On April 3, the chief soldiers of Guangxi were still missing. On April 10, Hong Chengchou decided not to wait, so he immediately led his army south to Suizhou to attack Gao Yingxiang.
On April 3, Hong Chengchou came to Xiangyang and met with Lu Xiangsheng, who was training troops in Xiangyang. On April 20, just as Gao Yingxiang attacked Wuchang and was delayed, Hong Chengchou keenly realized that Gao Yingxiang might not be able to capture Wuchang. On April 20, 20, a scout rewarded the spy who captured the bandits in Qianjiang 1. Based on this, Hong Chengchou boldly speculated that Gao Yingxiang had a target and was likely to go west to Jingzhou.
So, Hong Chengchou risked the capture of Wuchang and rushed southward to the Jingmen area. Sure enough, on April 207, a large number of bandits were found in Qianjiang 1. On May 5, the spies were rewarded and Qianjiang was broken. On May 3, Gao Yingxiang's army marched to the Jingzhou Prefecture to govern Jiangling.
On May 15th, Gao Yingxiang sent people to surrender, and was angry and ordered a large army to attack Jingzhou. On May 20th, Gao Yingxiang attacked Jingzhou but failed, and his morale gradually declined. At the same time, Hong Chengchou left Jingzhou.
On May 202, just as Gao Yingxiang drove the army to attack Jingzhou, Hong Chengchou led his army to suddenly appear behind Gao Yingxiang. Gao Yingxiang was shocked and immediately prepared to transfer the army to stop Hong Chengchou's army, buy time for himself, and leave.
However, how could Hong Chengchou easily let Gao Yingxiang get his wish? Cao Wenzhao and Lu Xiangsheng personally led the troops, rushed forward, and rushed straight into Gao Yingxiang's back.
The rear army was defeated and began to collapse. At the same time, the defenders in Jingzhou City suddenly rushed out of the city and attacked Gao Yingxiang's previous army, so that they could not withdraw from their homes and support the rear army.
At this moment, Cao Wenzhao personally led a cavalry, blocking people and killing people, and the Buddha blocked the Buddha, and the target was aimed directly at Gao Yingxiang's central army's tent. Gao Yingxiang was extremely shocked and ordered to retreat. Gao Yingxiang's flag moved, and the rebels far away from the central army thought that Gao Yingxiang was about to escape, and the morale of the army suddenly plummeted, and many rebel leaders began to apply oil to the soles of their shoes, and escaped happily.
Gao Yingxiang's army fell apart in less than half a day. Cao Wenzhao led his cavalry, regardless of his concern, and came straight to Gao Yingxiang. Gao Yingxiang could not care about anything else, retreated eastward, and on the way, his weapons and armor were lost, and the coach's flag had long disappeared.
It should be that Gao Yingxiang should not have been killed. When he fled to the side of the Han River, he suddenly saw a small boat on the water surface, which was moving upstream. Gao Yingxiang did not care about anything else and quickly shouted, then he called the boat to the shore and boarded the boat toward the other side of the river.
When Cao Wenzhao led his army and came, Gao Yingxiang had already arrived on the other side. Cao Wenzhao looked at the rolling Han River flowing eastward and waited for a long time until Gao Yingxiang on the other side had disappeared, and then he turned back in disappointment.
At this time, Hong Chengchou had completely defeated Gao Yingxiang's remnants. A large number of officials followed a group of deserters and ran around in four places until they captured all of them.
