Chapter 239 Tiger Wolf

"King of Han! King of Han!"

In the Han Palace, a man shouted softly outside the room, but there was no reply in the room. The man ran all the way and was sweating. He stood outside the door but did not dare to push the door in. Although this person was Zhu Jiancai's confidant, he followed Zhu Jiancai to revolt at Yuan Qi and fought all the way. However, even with such qualifications, the consequences of entering the house without Zhu Jiancai's permission are still serious.

After Yuan Qizhi's incident, Zhu Jiancai carried out a major purge on his subordinates and killed a large number of people who thought they were unreliable. As for those who were involved, there were even more. Although he was old, a brother who was the same qualification as him had forgotten to report to Zhu Jiancai for an urgent matter and allowed him to enter. He rushed in directly. Who would have thought that Zhu Jiancai cut off his head without saying a word? Such a lesson in the past, how could he be careless?

"King of Han! There is something important to be done with humble duties! King of Han!" There was no choice but to continue knocking on the door, and at the same time raised his voice outside the door and shouted a few times. Finally, Zhu Jiancai's lazy voice came from the room.

"Is it the second strongman? What's the important thing?"

"Return to the King of Han, there is an emergency military situation in Xuchang!"

"Wait!"

After a long time, the door opened from inside, and Zhu Jiancai's figure appeared in front of Erqiang. He glanced at Erqiang, who was covered in sweat, and Zhu Jiancai signaled him to go in and speak.

"What's the important thing in the early morning? Tell me." Sitting on the chair, Zhu Jiancai begged and asked with a slanted body.

"We came to Xuchang to report that Qinggou had crossed the Yellow River from Kaifeng. It seems that he was coming to us. It is said that there are not only green camps, but also many cavalrymen." Erqiang reported.

"There are green camps and cavalry?" Zhu Jiancai sneered: "I haven't had time to destroy them in Kaifeng yet. Now I have such courage to go south? Cavalry? Cavalry came from Hebei? Can this Yellow River pass through cavalry? You guys are right?"

"When King returned to Han, I dared not lie about military information. The brothers in the north did see cavalry, and there were quite a few cavalrymen, and.........."

"What else?" Seeing Erqiang speak hesitantly, Zhu Jian was immediately displeased and said, "Speak again, there is nothing wrong with it!"

After swallowing his saliva, Erqiang said, "In addition, this cavalry is not like the Qing Gou's Green Camp and Eight Banners, it seems to be Mongolian Iron Cavalry."

"Mongolian Iron Cavalry?" Hearing this, Zhu Jiancai's eyes flashed with a gleam, and his expression seemed a little solemn: "Are you sure it is a Mongolian Iron Cavalry? How many are there?"

"Eight out of ten." Erqiang replied: "You know that the Mongolians and the Eight Cavalrymen are different in their green camps. The brothers in the north look like Mongolian cavalry, and there are a lot of them, so there are about two or three thousand."

"Hiss..." When Zhu Jiancai heard that he had discovered two or three thousand Mongolian cavalry appeared south of Kaifeng, he immediately gasped. Since Zhu Jiancai gained a foothold in Henan, his power spread to the surrounding areas. At the most severe time, the Bagua Sect even affected Shanxi. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After the Qing court reacted, he encircled and suppressed Bagua Sects in various places, especially Longkodo and the elite Eight Banners were repeatedly swept in Hebei, Shanxi and other places. Soon the local Bagua Sect forces were extinguished, which led to Zhu Jiancai's plan to advance north for a premature death.

Afterwards, Zhu Jiancai integrated his forces and confronted the Qing army in Henan. The main area between the two sides was the Yellow River area. Especially the front lines of Luoyang, Zhengzhou, and Kaifeng, it was the most fierce area between Zhu Jiancai's troops and the Qing army. However, because the Qing army was equipped with better equipment than Zhu's troops, and Kangxi continued to mobilize troops to strengthen the military strength of the Yellow River line, Zhu Jiancai was unable to break the defense of the Qing army, resulting in the natural danger of the Yellow River not being held in its hands, but on the side of the Qing army.

Wang Zhiqing revolted in Sichuan, with a huge momentum, and almost occupied the entire Sichuan in a short time. Now Wang Zhiqing is preparing to leave Sichuan and fight for the world, so Zhu Jiancai has to guard against this. For this reason, Zhu Jiancai specially sent more troops to various important roads in the direction of Sichuan to prevent Wang Zhiqing from leaving Sichuan from Henan and thus threatening himself. It is precisely this reason that Zhu Jiancai slowed down his plan to go north and temporarily put aside the idea of ​​attacking Kaifeng with all his strength. However, he never expected that if he did not open the Feng, the Qing army in Kaifeng began to move south instead. What is even more infuriating is that there were Mongolian cavalry.

Two or three thousand Mongolian cavalry are a great force, and Zhu Jiancai must pay attention to it. Henan belongs to the Central Plains. The Central Plains is not only a place that must be fought for by military strategists, but also different from the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. The terrain is flat and more suitable for cavalry combat. Zhu Jiancai's troops also have cavalry, but his cavalry can only be barely compared with the Green Camp in terms of training and equipment, and the scale is also small. Not to mention attacking the Mongolian cavalry, even the Eight Banners Cavalry is incomparable to the same number of people.

Once the Qing army relied on the Mongolian cavalry and the green camp launched and attacked southward directly, Xuchang was the first to be hit. Zhu Jiancai had to pay attention to this situation, and he felt that since the second strongman said that Mongolian cavalry had appeared in Kaifeng, it means that the Qing army might have made big moves, and this time he might have come directly to him.

The expression on his face became more and more serious. Zhu Jiancai felt a vague feeling of uneasiness. He immediately stood up and walked out of the room directly. Erqiang quickly followed him.

When they arrived at the front hall, Zhu Jiancai immediately summoned personnel to discuss the matter. Soon after, more than a dozen important figures from Zhu's department rushed over. When everyone took their seats, Zhu Jiancai told everyone that the Qing army was moving, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with it for a while.

"I'm totally mute? You guys call themselves heroes on weekdays. Now I can't speak when I hear the Qing army heading south from Kaifeng and the Mongolian cavalry accompanying me?" Seeing this scene, Zhu Jiancai was displeased and cursed.

"King of Han, ordinary Qinggou brothers are not afraid at all, but the Mongolian cavalry is quite troublesome. You also know that most of our troops are infantry, and the road is flat south of Kaifeng. Once this infantry is broken through by the cavalry, it will be a bit unlucky to fight. And from the words of the two strong brothers, this Qinggou is far more than these forces. If you don't deal with it properly, you will be defeated!"

"Brother Lin said the most, and the military situation is unclear now. What if there is any change in Xuchang when the army is mobilized? King Han, don't forget that Wang Zhiqing is already eyeing Henan. He has sent many envoys to contact our department these days, hoping that our department will let them go to the Central Plains by using Henan. Now there are wolves in front and tigers in the back. You must be careful, King Han!"

When Zhu Jiancai heard Wang Zhiqing's name, he felt even more angry. Wang Zhiqing thought he was a fool and borrowed the words from him? Bah! He Zhu Jiancai was too late to prevent him. If he really wanted to lend the words to Wang Zhiqing, he would have no time to do so. He would have to borrow the words to Wang Zhiqing, but his mind was broken.
