Surrender? Looking at Wang Zuoguan with a sad smile in front of him, Tie Mo was a little surprised and a little dumbfounded. This man has experienced too much. He went from being in a surging mood, full of hope, tossing around in northern Shaanxi, and finally was extremely disappointed.
, the heart is scarred.
It can be seen that Wang Zuoguan is completely different from other peasant army leaders. There is no ambition to fight for power in Wang Zuoguan. He just wants to save more people.
"Mr. Wang, there are many types of officers and soldiers in Shaanxi now, why did you choose Tie?"
"There are many officers and soldiers, but only General Tie resettled the refugees in Zhangbei and fed more people. The general did what Wang always wanted to do but failed to do in Zhangbei. It was the general who made Wang understand,
Saving the world and saving people is not about destruction, but about construction."
Saving the world and saving people is not about destruction, but about construction.
What a profound sentence, Tie Mo looked moved. He stood up and stretched out his right hand towards Wang Zuoguan, "Mr. Wang, welcome."
Wang Zuoguan stood up and looked at Tie Mo with a wry smile, "General, you are so heroic, aren't you afraid of Wang's capriciousness?"
"Tie Mo thinks he can see people fairly accurately with his eyes. If Mr. Wang changes his mind, it must be because Tie Mo didn't do a good enough job!"
Wang Zuogua took a step back, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Wang Zuogua, who has sinned against the people, is willing to follow General Tie to the death."
Wang Zuoguan needed a way to save the world, and Tie Mo also needed a capable counselor. Although there was Chen Zilong by his side, with the establishment of Yun Mansion, Chen Zilong devoted most of his energy to government affairs and had little regard for military affairs.
Participated. Moreover, in Tie Mo's heart, Wang Zuogao was much more qualified than Chen Zilong to be an army counselor.
.......
As Wang Zuoguan surrendered to Tie Mo, Han Cheng's siege was also resolved, and the tense atmosphere was eliminated invisibly.
Now that he has arrived in Hancheng, there is no reason not to pay a visit to his nominal boss, Yang He.
Under the command of Miao Mei, the peasant army retreated thirty miles away in an orderly manner. The people of Hancheng let out loud cheers. The city gate slowly opened, and Tie Mo led Liu Yingyu and others into the city quickly.
The streets were crowded with people on both sides. The people were standing on tiptoe, scrambling to see what the iron general who drove away the peasant army looked like. The people were very curious about what the iron general had, and he did it without any effort.
It took less than half a day to convince the rebels to surrender. As a result, the Iron General that everyone saw was not only unscrupulous, but also very simple and honest.
He walked through the crowd with a naive smile, looking like a fool.
After entering the city for a while, he saw Yang He on the street. Tie Mo still respected Yang He very much. In today's officialdom, there are too few officials like Yang He who dare to take on the responsibility and work sincerely. Although Yang He
Although he was not familiar with military affairs, his flaws could not be concealed. Generally speaking, Yang He worked diligently in Shaanxi and devoted himself to disaster relief, and Tie Mo still saw it. Moreover, Yang He also had a good son, Yang Sichang.
When Chongzhen was in power, the Yang family and his son worked in tandem. It can be said that they spent a lot of effort on the Ming Dynasty and left a mark in history.
Coming closer, Tie Mo quickly raised his hand and saluted, "General Xuanfu Tie Mo, please see Governor Yang."
Yang He walked over quickly with a smile that couldn't be concealed on his face. He grabbed Tie Mo's arm and said with a smile: "No courtesy, hurry up. If General Tie comes to help in time this time, I'm afraid I will
It will become my biggest joke."
Yang He's words were sincere and not false at all. He had just become the governor of the three sides and was captured alive or forced to death by the peasant army. How could the imperial court lose its face?
After entering the temporary official residence in Hancheng, Hong Chengchou prepared a simple dinner. At the banquet, Yang He introduced the officials around him. Tie Mo bowed to them one by one, especially to Hong Chengchou, who inevitably chatted for a while.
Tie Mo also had mixed feelings about Hong Chengchou. This man was quite capable and loyal to the court. At least for now, you would never see any sign of Hong Chengchou betraying the Ming Dynasty. It is hard to imagine that a man who holds the common goal of sharing the same fate with Han Cheng
Hong Chengchou, who was alive and dead, would later defect to the Manchus and become the number one traitor of the Ming Dynasty.
At the banquet, Tie Mo always glanced at Hong Chengchou from time to time. At first, it was okay, but gradually, Hong Chengchou became a little confused. Taking the opportunity, he sat down next to Tie Mo with a wine glass, "General Tie, do you know me?"
"This... Tie has been admiring Mr. Hong for a long time. He has always heard that Mr. Hong is polite and military, loyal and courageous. When we saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary. Therefore, Tie couldn't help but take a second look."
The flattery made Hong Chengchou smile happily. At the same time, Hong Chengchou was also a little confused. It is said that the two of them did not belong to the same system. Hong Chengchou was a Jinshi in the Eight Classics and a civil servant. There was no intersection between the two.
"Ha" Hong Chengchou held the wine glass, smiled with a rosy face, and then drank it all in one gulp, "I have admired General Tie for a long time. The general is so young, but he has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. He really embarrasses others."
The two of them chatted happily to each other, and if they didn't know better, they would have thought that they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
...
The next day, after the follow-up ammunition supplies were delivered, Tie Mo and Liu Yingyu left Hancheng. The troops of both sides rushed directly to Tongguan in the south without stopping.
Nowadays, there are a large number of rebellious parties in Shangluo Road. Wu Guofu, a veteran general in central Sichuan, tried his best to deal with it. However, due to limited troops, he could only control the north and south openings of Shangluo Road, but there was nothing he could do to deal with the rebellious parties in Shangluo Road. Within a few months, Wang Daliang
He was not idle either. Taking advantage of Liu Yingyu's absence, he aggressively recruited troops in Shangluo Road. By the beginning of May of the second year of Chongzhen, Wang Daliang continued to expand his army through various methods, and his military strength had reached more than 60,000.
Although the combat effectiveness of Wang Daliang's men was uneven and could not be compared with Wang Jiayin and Wu Yangui, so many rogue parties were enough to give Wu Guofu a headache.
In Tongguan, Wu Guofu briefly introduced the situation on Shangluo Road. Wang Daliang was not an easy person. In order to deal with the arriving officers and soldiers, he divided his troops into three and stationed them in Luonan, Shangzhou and Shanyang County. Wang Daliang was in charge personally.
Shangzhou, Luonan and Shanyang are one from the north and one from the south. No matter which direction the attack is from the north or the south, the troops and horses in Shangzhou city can provide timely support. Shangzhou supports 20% of the north and south, while Luonan and Shanyang County are also high walls.
Thick, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Wu Guofu pointed to Luonan City on the map and said with a frown: "The best way to go south from Tongguan is to capture Luonan directly. However, Wei Zixiang, the defender of Luonan, is not an easy person. He relies on Luonan.
Nanyi is difficult to defend and is very arrogant. Moreover, this person is also very timid. As long as he feels the slightest danger, he will ask Shangzhou for help. This general has sent people to attack Luonan twice, and each time the front line was fine.
It goes well, but reinforcements from Shangzhou will always arrive in Luonan soon, so Wu can only order to withdraw."
