Ruzhou City, Zhendong Army camp, and in the tent of the commander.

Zhu Qizhe sat high in the main seat, scanning the civil servants and generals under his command, and a hint of relief appeared on his face.

Now, it finally looks a little bit.

In the past, there were very few civil officials under his command. Every time he discussed the matter, he could attract only a few people. This time, civil officials and military generals finally had a slight pound of equality.

Of course, most of the civil officials were Fushe students who had just been submitted to me. Moreover, most of their positions were not high, at most they were the provincial magistrates, the magistrates, etc. The highest position among them was Li Yan, the governor of Ruzhou.

However, the one who stood in front of the civil servant was a scholar who was not wearing an official robe.

This man is about thirty years old, with a bookish look on his face, and he looks like a well-educated man.

As for why he was not wearing an official robe and stood in front of the civil servants, the main reason was that no one dared to stand in front of him, because he was too famous.

He was Wu Jianye, who ranked first in the fourth year of Chongzhen and second in the palace examination, almost won the top scorer, that is, Wu Meicun.

This person is not simple. He is a personal disciple of Zhang Pu, the leader of Fushe. His status in Fushe is unique. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the leader of Fushe now.

His qualifications are also one of the top people in Fushe. He ranked second at the age of 23, and then entered the Hanlin Academy and became the Prime Minister. There is only one person in Fushe.

As for his official experience, it would be fine if he didn't say it!

He was lucky. When Zhou Yanru had just entered the cabinet, he happened to participate in the imperial examination and palace examination. At that time, Zhou Yanru had not turned against Fushe and Wen Tiren had not yet taken power. Therefore, he was lucky enough to win the second place. Unfortunately, Zhou Yanru poisoned his mentor to death and was defeated by his political enemy Wen Tiren.

Next, he basically had no choice but to mess around in the officialdom.

Because Chongzhen appreciated his talent quite well, Wen Tiren did not dare to do anything to him. However, the official positions he held were basically editors of the Hanlin Academy, lecturers of the East Palace, priest of the Imperial College, Zuo Zhongyun of the Zhanshi Mansion, Zuo Yude, Zuo Shuzi, Shao Zhanshi and other famous positions. To put it bluntly, he was a teacher in the court and had no real power at all.

Wen Tiren, Xue Guoguan, and Zhang Zhifa really made him angry. Finally, he simply ran home and wrote a book. He was a second-hand teacher in the court for more than ten years and was still a famous teacher. It was embarrassing!

This time, Zhu Qizhe asked him to come out of the mountain and was very cautious. He was not a naughty man. He could coax him around in just a few words. As the saying goes, seeing is true, hearing is false, and not letting him see something real, he would not be able to mess with others.

In fact, Zhu Qizhu also wanted to take him by his side and observe him carefully. After all, this guy is stained. Although in history, he was forced to take office for a short time after being recruited by the Qing court, and he was remorseful and finally died of depression due to regret and guilt, it is a historical fact that he was clear about his affairs.

Zhu Qizhua doesn't want to reuse a guy with two sides, so he must take it with him and observe it carefully first.

The two hit it off, so Wu Meicun followed Zhu Qizhu to Nanyang and Ruzhou without asking for any official position.

Along the way, he saw more things, such as huge tower ships, warships, excellent firearms, elite soldiers, prosperous cities, ordinary people living and working in peace, endless farmland, water conservancy facilities everywhere, etc. All of this proves that His Highness, the King of Tang, is a rare wise monarch.

Of course, it is not enough to conquer the world, but to be a wise ruler, and to know that people can make good use of it. If they can only manage their subordinates in an orderly manner, but fight a war is messy and messy, that is also fake.

It can be said that this is his last concern. As long as His Highness, the King of Tang, can be done in this regard, it will be almost the same. He will lead Fushe Tongji to assist him in the peace of the country.

What is the ability of Zhuqiuzi in this regard?

No need to ask about this, it is of course quite amazing.

After all, these days, it is mainly used to fight cold weapons. Who can compare with him, who has experienced hundreds of years of experience in the application of hot weapons?

However, this time he did not want to fight against Li Zicheng or the imperial army. The ones who really wanted to fight against Li Zicheng and Sun Chuanting were Li Zicheng and Sun Chuanting. He just wanted to rescue Sun Chuanting.

So, how to save Sun Chuanting?

Of course, we must first understand the situation.

After he glanced around majesticly, he said seriously: "Guoliang, how many troops have the bandits gathered, and how the distribution of troops is, have you found out clearly?"

Zhao Guoliang hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you have already investigated clearly. The bandits' forces are mainly gathered on the front lines of Zhengzhou and Zhongmu. Among them, Zhongmu has an attack to open the 100,000 troops back from the 100,000 troops gathered from Henan, Zhengzhou has a 150,000 troops gathered from all over Henan and Shanxi. In addition, there are still 50,000 troops gathered from the Zhengzhou defense line. It is estimated that it will arrive in about three days. There are not many people left behind in other places. Only Luoyang has 20,000 troops stationed and Tongguan has 10,000 troops stationed."

A total of 400,000 troops were assembled!

Zhu Qizhuo thought about it and asked again: "Where are the officers and soldiers?"

Zhao Guoliang then bowed and said, "The soldiers and soldiers who can gather in Henan have almost all gathered in Kaifeng. In addition, there are 5,000 troops in the Jing camp, and there are about 110,000 troops in total. However, they are basically young and strong people who are farmed and cannot fight at all. Sun Chuanting is stepping up training. In addition, the soldiers' food and grass seem to be not much, and there is almost no food storage near the military camp, and the speed of food and grass is being mobilized very slowly."

Alas, it was really hard for Sun Chuanting to mobilize the garrisons who had never fought for more than 100,000 yuan, and the food and supplies could not keep up, so he rashly asked him to fight to the death with the 400,000 troops under Li Zicheng. This kind of thing was just the traitors of Chongzhen and Zhou Yanru, who were foolish in the world, so he could do it. Wouldn't this make people die?

The two sides gathered a total of 500,000 troops. How could they rescue Sun Chuanting?

Zhu Qizhu glanced at the military generals on the right, Qi Jin, Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Liu Guoneng, and Li Wanqing. These people had only 70,000 troops under their command, and at least half of them had to stay at the garrison. In other words, only 30,000 to 40,000 troops could be gathered.

It seems that it is definitely not possible to be tough. Thirty or forty thousand troops rushed into the battle area of ​​the 500,000 army, which is quite dangerous.

He looked down at the map again, then asked, "General Qi, where do you think they will choose to fight to the final battle?"

Historically, the decisive battle between Li Zicheng and Sun Chuanting took place in Jia County, Ruzhou. However, Ruzhou has been occupied by him at this time, and Li Zicheng seemed to have no intention of attacking, so it was impossible for them to fight in Jia County.

So, where will they choose to fight to the finale?

Qi Jin carefully analyzed: "Now the bandits should be not anxious, because the officers and soldiers are not anxious, and Chongzhen is still impatient. Even if Sun Chuanting does not want to send troops, Chongzhen will probably force him to send troops. But Li Zicheng is different. He is obviously a little afraid of Sun Chuanting. As soon as Sun Chuanting comes, he immediately removed the troops besieged Kaifeng and gathered troops in Zhengzhou. It is enough to show how cautious he is. According to the views of the last general, Li Zicheng is likely to abandon Zhongmu, pretend to retreat, lure the enemy into deep, and start a decisive battle with Sun Chuanting near Zhengzhou."
