"This is natural." Zhang Xianzhong was very happy. He did not hide the smile on his face, but Yang Mengshi had tears in his eyes and shouted hoarsely, "My good daughter, what are you doing? Don't be afraid, your mother is here, you
Don’t go anywhere…”
Yang Nuran smiled and shook her head. She walked slowly to Yang Mengshi, half-crouched down, and put her face on Yang Mengshi's knees. Her pair of smart eyes were already drowned by tears, "Mother
, you have done enough for your daughter these years, how can the child bring trouble to you again? If this calamity is destined to happen, then let it be the child's final destination."
In the room, Yang Mengshi and Yang Nuran were talking. Zhang Xianzhong was naturally not interested in listening. When he came outside the hospital, Fang Han was already waiting in the hospital. At this time, Fang Han looked excited and saw Zhang Xianzhong.
He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, there is indeed a treasure buried under the Yang family ancestral hall. Today the king has embraced the most beautiful woman in the world. It is truly a double happiness."
Zhang Xianzhong laughed heartily when he heard this. He didn't expect that what the man in black robe said was true. There were indeed treasures under the Yang family ancestral hall. Haha, with these treasures, Zhang Xianzhong would also consider holding Luoyang hostage and forcing the court to recruit him.
.With this batch of treasures, we can now freely recruit troops.
Zhang Xianzhong no longer wanted to use Luoyang City as a bargaining chip, and naturally he would not go all out to encircle and suppress Sun Chuanting, so he ordered Shangguan Yi to withdraw from Taoguang Street, blockade Taoguang Street, then plunder the entire West Market, and attack North Street
The big houses in Linfang and Shiyifang carried out looting, and the sound of killings in Luoyang City was loud. The thieves who had not killed before immediately waved their knives.
Fang Han was responsible for leading the men to rob Luoyang City, while Zhang Xianzhong followed Shangguan Yi to inspect the boxes. Zhang Xianzhong could swear that after so many years as a bandit, this was the first time he had seen so much money. With so much money, he could pull up a
More than 100,000 elite soldiers, right? Of course, the elite soldiers Zhang Xianzhong calls are by no means elite soldiers like the Northern Shanxi Army. If it were the Northern Shanxi Army, with the money in front of them, it would be very good to be able to support 20,000.
The four gates of Luoyang City were tightly closed. There were bandits guarding the outside and there were bandits on top of the city. Although Sun Chuanting tried various methods to get out of Taoguang Street, they all ended in failure. The looting of Luoyang lasted for two full days.
, rogue bandits and bandits have caused great harm to the ancient capital of Luoyang.
On the first day of September in the sixth year of Chongzhen, it was originally a beautiful day, but the entire Ming Dynasty seemed to be in trouble, and the faces of the courtiers looked like their parents had died. Luoyang was lost and was looted by bandit soldiers, but Kaifeng and Zhengzhou soldiers
The horses could not break through Yong'an and Dengzhou, and could not reinforce Luoyang. Many people began to hate Cao Wenzhao, very, very much. Cao Wenzhao's troops were so capable of fighting, why not save Luoyang now? But they forgot, he obviously ignored it
Who gave the strict order to prohibit the Northern Jin Army from entering the city privately? If the cabinet documents were not there, why would Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao be so passive?
In a courtyard somewhere in Luoyang, Wang Zuogao didn't look too good. Sure enough, there was a treasure buried in Luoyang City. Although his men found the place where the treasure was buried, it was a pity that Zhang Xianzhong got there first. Now the treasure has been
It was dug out from the ground by Zhang Xianzhong. It is not easy to snatch it out of his hands. What should we do?
Wang Zuoguan had a headache. He kept thinking of ways. In short, it was absolutely impossible for him to watch Zhang Xianzhong take away the wealth. Now General Cao led the army to station near Mianchi, and there were bandits blocking him.
It was impossible for General Cao to lead the army into Luoyang. After much deliberation, Wang Zuogao still pinned his hopes on Sun Chuanting. There was no other way. Now the only people who could fight in Luoyang City were Sun Chuanting's less than 3,000 remnants.
.
Wang Zuogao was thinking about how to use Xia Sun Chuanting, but Sun Chuanting's situation was also very delicate. Shangguanyi sent troops to block both sides of Taoguang Street. It was okay for Sun Chuanting to stay on both sides of the street. As long as he dared to rush out of Taoguang Street, Shangguanyi would be in trouble.
People were asked to block it. Since the day before yesterday, Sun Chuanting had charged more than a dozen times, but he could not break through the defense line formed by Shangguan Yi. Sun Chuanting was now very confused. Zhang Xianzhong wanted to occupy Luoyang, but he was not in a hurry to destroy him. What on earth was Sun Chuanting doing?
reason?
In a house, Sun Chuanting was grinding a steel knife on a stone. After several days of fierce fighting, Sun Chuanting, who was pampered and in good spirits, became much haggard and had a scar on his forehead.
A soldier ran over, and Sun Chuanting asked hurriedly, "How is the situation? What's going on with the traitors?"
"Replying to your Majesty, the Shangguan Dog Thief still has people guarding the two intersections. There is no sign of attacking Taoguang Street. However, when the younger brother led the brothers to inquire, someone left a note for the younger one." After that, the dear
The soldier took out a note hidden in his waist. Sun Chuanting held the note and looked at it, then frowned. What was written on the note was not bad news. Someone was going to attack the east intersection of Taoguang Street. Help
The remaining soldiers escaped from Taoguang Street.
Sun Chuanting didn't know whether he should believe what he said on the note. If everything was true, it would be fine, but if it was a plan devised by the thieves, the entire army would be wiped out.
After thinking hard, he still couldn't come up with a solution. As if by some strange mistake, Sun Chuanting actually asked the soldier, "Have you read the words on the note? Do you think we should believe it or not?"
The soldier was very puzzled and nodded a little flattered, "Master Sun, I shouldn't say this. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the words on the note are true or not. If you continue to waste it like this, you will die.
Why not follow what is written on the note and take a gamble."
What the soldier said was extremely simple. Sun Chuanting also thought too much, but ignored this simple truth. He took a long breath, with a ferocious look in his eyes. Okay, Sun Chuanting will take a gamble and rush out.
As long as more than 3,000 people were scattered, it would be impossible for the thieves to wipe them out in a short time. If they couldn't rush out, they would have to bite off a piece of flesh from Shangguan Yi's body.
On the fifth day of September, at the end of Haishi, an uninvited group of more than thirty people came to the eastern entrance of Taoguang Street. These masked men in black were the manpower organized by Wang Zuoguan. Wang Zuoguan chose to attack Taoguang Street.
The purpose of starting at the eastern entrance is to lead Sun Chuanting's people to the direction of Shiyifang. With more than a hundred people hiding in Luoyang alone, Zhang Xianzhong cannot be shaken at all, but with Sun Chuanting's three thousand soldiers and horses, it is different. Hehe
, it would be best for Sun Chuanting to fight to the death with Zhang Xianzhong's troops, while Wang Zuogao took the opportunity to snatch those dozens of boxes.
At this time, Sun Chuanting was leading people to hide in a residential house on the east side of Taoguang Street. Seeing that it was time to be hit, Sun Chuanting also became a little anxious. Could the other party be lying?
When I was thinking about whether to withdraw as soon as possible, I suddenly heard a blast, and the Shangguanyi station in front burst into flames. At the same time, I could hear the panicked shouts and curses of the bandit soldiers, as if it was the beginning, and explosions came one after another.
The defense line formed by Shangguan Yi at the eastern street entrance immediately turned into a sea of fire. As for the nearly a thousand thieves stationed here who were burned and ran around, Sun Chuanting was shocked by the movement made by the other party. This was the weapon used by the Northern Shanxi Army.
Firearms. At this time, he didn't care whether the Northern Shanxi Army was helping. Sun Chuanting roared and led thousands of his disciples to break through the street in one fell swoop.
The incident happened so suddenly. By the time Shangguan Yi and Zuo Mou arrived with reinforcements, Sun Chuanting had already led his troops to flee to Shanglinfang and Shiyifang. Where are Shanglinfang and Shiyifang?
However, North Street is a famous gathering place for the rich and powerful, and is known as the rich area of Dongdu. Currently, Chief Zhang Da and Fang Han are stationed in Shiyifang. In the past two days, various troops have looted the city, causing the army to be very scattered. Shiyifang and
There were only more than 4,000 soldiers and horses that Shanglinfang could assemble in a short period of time. If Sun Chuanting knew that Leader Zhang was in the Yang family compound in Shiyifang, the situation would not be good.
Without daring to think too much, Zuo Mou and Shangguan Yi quickly ordered all the nearby soldiers and horses to rush towards Shanglinfang.
Since Wang Zuogao intended to use Sun Chuanting's help to mess up Shiyi Fang, he would not fail to tell Sun Chuanting about Zhang Xianzhong's whereabouts. When Sun Chuanting was running towards Shanglinfang, someone shouted that Zhang Xianzhong was at Yang's house in Shiyi Fang.
In the big house, the Shiyi Square is just north of Shanglinfang, and the squares are very close to each other. If Zhang Xianzhong is really hiding in the Yang family's big house, then...suddenly Sun Chuanting felt that his opportunity had come.
If Zhang Xianzhong could be captured alive, there might be a turning point in the battle of Luoyang City.
Of course, Sun Chuanting would not be so stupid as to believe just one word. He captured a dozen thieves alive along the way, and after rigorous questioning, he found out that Zhang Xianzhong indeed lived in the Yang family. He immediately became overjoyed and said, "Haha, God really gave Sun a
Opportunity, brothers, the thief Zhang Xianzhong is in the Yang family. You and I can make contributions and reverse the situation in Luoyang. The opportunity has come. You and I will fight against each other in Shiyifang. In the future, it will be life or death. I will go to the imperial court. Xu brothers.
A commendation.”
"Kill... kill Zhang Xianzhong, the dog thief." Perhaps Zhang Xianzhong's temptation was too great, perhaps it was Sun Chuanting's promise that inspired people's hearts. This remnant soldier who had been blocked in Taoguang Street for several days suddenly suddenly
A strong fighting spirit broke out.
When Sun Chuanting led an army of more than 3,000 people to storm Shiyifang, Zhang Xianzhong panicked a little. Now Shiyifang only had more than 2,000 people at full strength. If he was really broken through, Zhang Xianzhong would be really in danger. He almost didn't even think about it.
, Zhang Xianzhong asked Fang Han to lead people to protect dozens of boxes and leave first, while he led people to rob Yang Nuran himself. The group of people fled westward, and it happened that Sun Chuanting rushed over from here. As soon as the two sides met, Sun Chuanting immediately
He laughed happily. Sun Chuanting knew Zhang Xianzhong. When he saw Zhang Xianzhong in front of him, he immediately led a group of soldiers with high morale and rushed towards Zhang Xianzhong.
Zhang Xianzhong was also a ruthless man. He handed Yang Nuran over to a few soldiers and chopped up the people who rushed up with a long-handled knife. "Sun Chuanting, you want to kill me, what are you dreaming about?"
"Zhang Xianzhong, you grass bandit, today's Shiyifang will be where you are buried!" Sun Chuanting would not let go of the opportunity to capture Zhang Xianzhong alive, and immediately started fighting for his life. Zhang Xianzhong naturally did not want to fall into the hands of Sun Chuanting, so the two sides
A life-and-death struggle began in the western part of Shiyifang, with soldiers and horses from both sides fighting together. There was me among you, you among me, and it became a mess.
Wang Zuogao led his men to wait nearby. When the fight between the two sides became fierce, he immediately led his men to rush out from the darkness, aiming directly at the dozens of boxes leaning against the wall, but Fang Han seemed to have eyes in the back of his head.
Normally, after an angry roar, many people gave up on Sun Chuanting's men in front and turned around to protect the box. Wang Zuogao did not expect that the rebel soldiers would react so quickly. Just as he was about to fight Fang Han's men, Sun Chuanting heard
There were bursts of roars coming from Shanglinfang not far behind.
After hearing this, Wang Zuoguan secretly sighed that he was unlucky. Why did Shangguanyi's soldiers and horses come so quickly? Didn't Sun Chuanting know how to leave some people behind to stop them? Wang Zuoguan thought this, which was a bit unreasonable. Sun Chuanting
There are only a few people under his command. If we divide our troops to block Shangguan Yi, he probably won't be able to defeat Zhang Xianzhong at this moment, but will be killed by Zhang Xianzhong first.
Wang Zuoguan wanted these dozens of boxes, but he was not at the point where he would risk his life for money. With a wave of his hand, a group of people forced Fang Han's troops to retreat and quickly withdrew from the battle. It was dark at this time, and the alley
Fang Han was so angry that he couldn't see his fingers, and he didn't dare to lead people to chase him. He could only stomp his feet and sulk.
As soon as Shangguan Yi and Zuo Mou led the troops, Sun Chuanting was in bad luck. He was caught in the middle, but he couldn't run away like Wang Zuogua. There was a fierce fight in Shiyifang, and it was all in vain. In the end, he let
Sun Chuanting withdrew, but after an hour of fierce fighting, Sun Chuanting had less than 400 men left. What kind of trouble could these few people make? Zhang Xianzhong had already decided to evacuate Luoyang tomorrow, but fortunately he no longer had to worry about Sun Chuanting's troops.
The horse is gone.
On the sixth day of September, the bandits who had been ravaging Luoyang City for five days finally withdrew. At this time, Liu Guoneng also led his army to Yingchang Mansion Changshe. After hearing the reports from Cao Bianjiao and others, Liu Guoneng frowned and thought hard.
.There is not much time left for Liu Guoneng at this time. Zhang Xianzhong will not stay in Luoyang City for long. Once the looting is almost complete, he will evacuate quickly.
What kind of banditry is the most difficult to eradicate in the world? It’s not rebels like Fang La. Fang La seems to be powerful, but he can’t stand up to the court over time. It’s rogue bandits like Zhang Xianzhong who are the most terrifying. These bandits live in no fixed places.
As soon as there is danger, they start to flee, causing destruction along the way. It is really a swarm of locusts that destroy everything they go.
Liu Guoneng knew that if he could not kill Zhang Xianzhong this time, it would be difficult to kill him again after Zhang Xianzhong fled south. He spread out the map of Henan Prefecture and thought about it for a while. Liu Guoneng decided to strike first. Once Zhang Xianzhong left Luoyang, he would definitely go south.
Or go east and then south, as for north and west, it is absolutely impossible. Go west, enter the boundary of Guozhou, face the Northern Shanxi Army and Shaanxi soldiers and horses?
To the north, although there is no problem in a short period of time, they can only be active in the area east of Hedong. Further north, there are various roadside troops. Once the imperial court deploys heavy troops to shrink Hedong and carry out encirclement and suppression, Zhang Xianzhong will be a turtle in the urn, and he will fly south with his wings.
Therefore, no matter what, Zhang Xianzhong's only way to survive is to go south to Xiangfan. The mountains thousands of miles southeast are the natural barrier for Zhang Xianzhong's survival.
