Chapter 177
The border of Sichuan and Hubei, the fish flow, the basket, the color, the book, the Ba,
Zuo Liangyu, the general of Huguang, and Zheng Chongjian, the governor of Shaanxi, finally brought his troops to meet with Yang Sichang.
A young military officer shouted loudly, "Supervising the army to advance the tent"
Although during the war, the various rituals such as the ceremonies that were promoted to the tent, such as the singularity of the army, the trumpet cannons, drums and music, and the officials who signed up for the school loudly signed up for the school to attend, they were still the same and could not be reduced or exempted.
Yang Sichang had already changed into a first-grade crane tonic large red silk python suit, wearing a seven-beam crown and a jade belt on his head. When he walked in, a general was following him, holding the Emperor's Royal Sword given to Shangfang with a yellow satin embroidered dragon cover.
The officials who visited had already stood up to the left and right, quietly without any sound. Around the tent were the guards of the Beijing camp that the emperor pulled to him when Yang Sichang left the capital.
Yang Sichang sat in the middle, coughed a few times habitually, and then glanced back and forth twice at the civil and military officials.
The governor of Shaanxi Zheng Chongjian, the governor of Henan Li Shuchu, the central official Liu Yuanbin, the military censor Wan Ji and others all felt the majesty of the governor from the coughing sound.
Next, Zheng Chongjian and others went forward to pay tribute to each other, followed by Henan General Chen Hongfan, Huguang General Zuo Liangyu, the general of the general who supported the suppression of tigers, as powerful as a tiger, and Shaanxi Deputy General He Renlong, Li Guoqi, Hubei Deputy General Yang Shien, Luo Wanbang, Hubei Deputy General Liu Guoneng, Li Wanqing, Henan Deputy General Chen Yongfu and other generals came forward to pay tribute to each other.
Shang Fang was holding the sword there, and the supervisor was the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of War, and the title of Prince and Grand Tutor. All civil and military officials felt a bit of pressure.
Yang Sichang only set up seats for Governor Zheng Chongjian, two military supervisors and governor Li Shuchu and several generals in the tent. The remaining dozens of deputy generals, generals, and guerrilla generals could only stand on both sides after the visit.
Yang Sichang's face was not as gentle and kind as usual, and at this time he only had very majestic.
After the ceremony, Yang Sichang first invited the Shangfang sword, and then loudly scolded the troops of the general Diao Mingzhong, the capital camp, for not complying with military orders and looting the people for several crimes.
"Diao Mingzhong was unable to control the people and whipped forty. Yin Dabai was even more dereliction of duty as the military supervisor. He asked Shang Fang to kill him."
Yang Sichang shouted loudly, and there were guards on both sides to capture Diao Mingzhong, the general of the Beijing camp with the title of deputy general, and Yin Dabai, his military supervisor, went out. Diao Mingzhong and the other party did not expect that Yang Sichang would suddenly attack. They established their authority and begged for mercy repeatedly, but Yang Sichang was not moved at all. The other generals wanted to ask for love, but Yang Sichang glared and the generals did not dare to speak.
After a while, the guard took a wooden plate and brought Yin Dabai's head up. A human head was sprinkled with blood, but his eyes were still closed, and he died with his eyes closed.
After killing Yin Dabai, Yang Sichang beat Diao Mingzhong forty more.
By whipping the deputy general and beheading the military supervisor, Yang Sichang's killing of the chicken and intimidating the monkey immediately achieved an excellent effect, and the generals present couldn't help but be afraid.
After leveraging Yin Dabai and Diao Mingzhong to establish their authority, Yang Sichang asked someone to get another box, but it was the seal of the general who was pacified by Zuo Liangyu.
"General Kunshan, Your Majesty has very high hopes for you and specially granted you the title of General of Punishment. This General of Punishment is awarded the seal of General of Punishment."
Zuo Liangyu looked at the seal and was extremely excited. In the battle of Fang County, Zuo Liangyu lost all his army and lost the general's guard seal, becoming a general without seals. He was very embarrassed. On the other hand, after the defeat, he was very afraid, fearing that the emperor would punish him for this.
But now, Yang Sichang not only did not punish him, but instead invited him the General of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment of the Punishment
When Mangui was appointed as the General of Shanhaiguan, he was awarded the seal of the General of Pinglu. Although the general of Pinglu was not as good as the General of Pinglu. However, if he could obtain this seal, he could immediately distinguish it from the other generals. Among the troops and horses of the towns that suppressed bandits, the general of Pinglu was above the generals. Now all the towns gathered together, not to mention that the General of Henan Chen Hongfan was the same as his official positions. In addition, both Tiger Dawei and Fengruohu had served as generals. However, they were demoted because of the Qing army's invasion at the beginning of the year and sent to the Central Plains to follow the army to suppress bandits.
Now that he has to be appointed as the general of the bandit, Zuo Liangyu immediately changed from a general without seal, who was ridiculed by the generals to a general with seals.
Yang Sichang kept paying attention to Zuo Liangyu's reaction. He was very happy when he saw him getting the seal, very grateful for himself, and very satisfied. It is very worthwhile to take Zuo Liangyu under his command, a general who suppressed the thief and took Zuo Liangyu under his command.
Then, Yang Sichang was appointed as the deputy general of Shaanxi He Renlong as the general of Shaanxi, and replaced the general position of Chen Hongfan, who was transferred to Henan.
"Everyone, now all the thieves and thieves have fled into Sichuan. In order to avoid the two thieves slaying the river and causing greater unrest, we must quickly catch up with the thieves and wipe them out in eastern Sichuan."
Yang Sichang has gathered tens of thousands of troops now, full of confidence. He is waiting for news to wait for the news that Mei Zhihuan was defeated by Xianzhong Cao thief. In his opinion, Mei Zhihuan accidentally guessed the direction of the bandits' escape. He believed that if he had not deployed heavy troops on the Hubei-Shaanxi border, the bandits would not have gone to Sichuan, but must have gone to Shaanxi.
But Mei Zhihuan used his defense and ran to Sichuan. But he accidentally ambushed Zhang Xianzhong once. Could it be that Zhang Xianzhong could ambush twice? Now he has connected 50,000 or 60,000 bandits? How could Mei Zhihuan's subordinates stop it?
However, Mei Zhihuan wanted to commit suicide, so he didn't stop him. It was also beneficial for him to intercept the bandits in Sichuan. Now he has gathered tens of thousands of official troops, and it is just right to take advantage of the bandits and Mei Zhihuan and others to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Just as he was thinking about when the news of Mei Zhihuan's defeat could be heard, there were personal soldiers outside reporting that Mei Zhihuan's military information had arrived.
"Mei Zhihuan was defeated so quickly, so he had to speed up the march." Yang Sichang was secretly happy, and asked the sender to come in.
"After the Prime Minister's order, the young Prime Minister, comes to report the victory to Yang Ge's troops."
"Reporting the victory" Yang Sichang choked. "What kind of victory is it? Didn't the victory of the Battle of Wushan have been reported a few days ago?"
"Returning to the Pavilion, this time I reported the victory of the Wushan Battle. A few days ago, the Hu guerrillas under Prime Minister Mei led his troops to ambush and annihilate more than 1,000 bandits on Bawu Gorge on the east side of Wushan."
When Yang Sichang heard that Mei Zhihuan had won another battle, he was not happy, but he was also a little displeased. After hearing that he had wiped out a thousand people, he couldn't help but sneer, "It turns out that Premier Mei led his troops to kill thousands of bandits. Well, thank you for your hard work, you have taken it to reward one or two taels of silver."
Although it was praise, the words clearly showed a sarcastic scent.
"There is a good news for the younger one."
"What good news?"
"At the same time as the Battle of Bawu Gorge, General Liu, under Gong Mei, led his troops to set up an ambush in Lannigou, annihilated more than 5,000 bandits in one battle, and killed two generals under the command of Xian Bid and Cao Bid. Shun Tian Wang and Hunshi Wang."
Yang Sichang didn't say anything for a long time.
Zuo Liangyu and other generals were also shocked. They also arrived at Yuduxi and found out that Premier Mei had already stepped into Sichuan first and stood in front of the bandits. As soon as he entered Sichuan, he annihilated more than 5,000 bandits and killed the two thieves, Cao Wei, the king of sweeping the floor, and Yang Youxian, the king of ten rebels.
It is indeed good to kill two thieves and annihilate thousands of thieves, but it has not shocked these generals. But after only a few days, they annihilate thousands of thieves and bandits and kill the two rebel bandit leaders in a formation. This is a bit abnormal. Especially in these two battles, they were commanded by Liu Jun. Who is this damn Liu Jun?
Many generals have never heard of the name Liu Jun.
"It must be that the bandits are too stupid." Yang Sichang was shocked and could only think like this. He would never admit that Mei Zhihuan was able to attract the enemy's initiative, and Liu Jun used his troops like a god.
When Yang Sichang heard that Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai had already raised more than 50,000 bandits from Dachang City and killed Mei Zhihuan and Liu Jun from Wushan, he felt a little gloating.
"Zuo Liangyu obeys the order, and I order you to lead your troops to march into Daning City immediately."
"He Renlong, Li Guoqi obeyed the order, and you two generals led the Shaanxi army to march into Dachang City immediately."
"The tiger is powerful and as powerful as the two generals of the tiger obey orders. You two generals immediately lead the troops of the Beijing camp into Fengjie."
After giving three orders in a row, Yang Sichang added another sentence, "After all departments enter each city, be sure to guard the city strictly. Without the military order of this governor, you must not move it lightly."
Henan Governor Li Shuchu proposed that the bandit army was attacking Wushan in a large scale, and at this time, we should quickly reinforce Wushan. We cooperated with Mei Zhihuan's troops to fight the bandit army in Wushan.
But his suggestion was rejected by Yang Sichang. Yang Sichang proposed that the bandit army is now heading towards Wushan, which is a great opportunity. The official army can quickly enter the three cities of Daning, Dachang and Fengjie. These three cities are in the southwest of Wushan. If they can garrison these three cities, it is equivalent to intercepting the roads where the bandits go south to Sichuan.
He led a large army to Wushan to fight the thieves.
As for Mei Zhihuan's safety, of course there is no need to worry. Prime Minister Mei has reported three consecutive victories in a short time, annihilated more than 10,000 bandits and captured several bandit leaders. Such skills still require worrying about bandit attacks.
"Daning, Dachang, and Fengjie are dedicated to guarding one place to prevent bandits from escaping south. Our governor leads the other divisions to specifically attack. All divisions must obey the orders. If anyone dares to disobey the order, don't blame me for asking the Shangfang sword to take the sword first and then report it."
Yang Sichang felt unwilling to fight with the bandits, so that he had the opportunity to surround the bandits and wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop. As for whether Mei Zhihuan could hold on to the bandits' attack, he didn't care.
Halfway through the way to Wushan, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai climbed a high slope to look at the government troops on the opposite side that were suddenly blocking the road. About five or six thousand people, basically all infantrymen, set up military formations and blocking the road.
"That's all for officers and soldiers"
In the slanting wind and drizzle, Zhang Xianzhong wore a raincoat poncho, looked it up several times and made a comment. The number of those officials was quite large, but they intercepted halfway, but they neither chose those passes that were easy to attack and difficult to defend, nor those places that were easy to ambush like those valleys and valleys.
The officers and soldiers chose an open and flat place. At first glance, they were flat. There was no danger in the surrounding area that was conducive to defense, nor were there any ambush. The officers and soldiers directly gave up those advantages. They wanted to use these thousands of troops to stop his 50,000 army.
Ridiculous, overestimating one's own abilities.
"Beware of fraud." Cao Cao and Luo Rucai squinted their eyes and looked at the army formations of the soldiers opposite for a long time, and spoke up to remind him.
Zhang Xianzhong laughed for a while, "Is there a fraud? I don't know if I try it?" To be continued. ~Search the basket colors and you can read the following chapters in the full text
