Chapter 141 The situation
"Don't forget that Kaifeng also has a King of Zhou, a governor, and a general."
Zhu Bingkun added: "These people are all obstacles."
Zheng Wu nodded slightly: "You and I know the intentions of the lord. The first is a famous weapon, and the second is the hearts of the people. Therefore, the thieves must be defeated by us. Only when the merits are made, the emperor will be generous. As for the hearts of the people, Lao Jiu is right. The more difficult they are, the easier it is for us to do. The thieves must also be allowed to surround Kaifeng."
Then he reiterated: "Compared to Sun Chuanting, I think the winning rate of the thief is greater. If the thief defeats Sun Chuanting, he will definitely attack with the momentum of victory. Since this is the case, you must first take action."
Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Jiu both started to ponder after hearing this.
After a while, Zhu Bingkun said, "Old Zheng means...Yuzhou?"
Zheng Wu nodded: "It's Yuzhou. We are ready. If the thief wins, we will start to attack Yuzhou and destroy Yuan Zongdi. In this way, even if the thief wins Sun Chuanting, we may not have the courage to turn around and attack you and me."
"What if Sun Chuanting wins?" Zheng Jiu suddenly said.
Zhu Bingkun laughed: "Where are you lords now?"
Zheng Jiu was stunned: "Could it be..."
"Since the lord has left the Crescent Valley to go north, he has not reached Xiangcheng, so where is he going?" Zhu Bingkun said: "Although Sun Chuanting came suddenly, how could he not know when the lord arrives in the north?"
Zheng Wu and Zheng Jiu couldn't help but agree.
Zhu Bingkun said again: "I heard from the lord Sun Chuanting that he was the last pillar of the Ming Dynasty. If the lord did not support Ming, even if he admired this person, he would not delay major events. Sun Chuanting wanted to win, haha, it was impossible."
Then he said, "You and I only need to hold the center of gravity, and there is no need to think too much about the others."
...
As soon as Sun Chuanting arrived, Li Zicheng couldn't sit still.
Li Zicheng suffered a great loss at Sun Chuanting, but it happened a few years ago. Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou were ordered to supervise the troops in Shanxi to suppress the thieves. These two are powerful characters. With one cooperation, they almost killed Li Chuang.
Li Chuang has a deep understanding of Sun Chuanting's power.
Therefore, when he heard that Luoyang had fallen, Li Zicheng hurriedly divided his troops out, asking Tian Jianxiu to stop Sun Chuanting, and ordered Yuan Zongdi to settle in Yuzhou to guard against Xiangcheng.
As soon as Tian Jianxiu and Yuan Zongdi left, the Kaifeng defenders became active. Chen Yongfu led his troops out of the city to attack and kill him again and again, and Li Zicheng was so angry that he wanted to tear him to pieces.
It’s not a matter of one day for Li Zicheng to hate Chen Yongfu. What caused Li Zicheng to become a one-eyed dragon? Chen Yongfu was the culprit.
But Chen Yongfu was cautious and Li Zicheng made many designs but failed to lure Chen Yongfu into a trap.
After Li Zicheng received the news that the officials he appointed were killed when Baofeng fell and the officials he appointed were killed, he couldn't sit steadily. At the suggestion of Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, he drove south to lead a large army to fight Sun Chuanting.
As soon as Li Zicheng left, the siege of Kaifeng was temporarily dismissed. The King of Zhou and the governor all breathed a sigh of relief.
But everyone knows that this is only temporary.
When Sun Chuanting left Tongguan, he had already sent a letter to all directions. Kaifeng had already contacted Sun Chuanting with letters. Kaifeng knew about how many soldiers and horses Sun Chuanting had and whether he had prepared enough, so he did not have absolute confidence.
But the opportunity is right in front of you, and you have to struggle for a while.
So after some discussion, Chen Yongfu led a group of troops out of the city to meet with Sun Chuanting to increase Sun Chuanting's victory rate. While conveying Xiangcheng in the form of official documents, he ordered the troops in Xiangcheng County to cooperate.
Of course, if there are no dates, I also conveyed the corresponding news to Hou Xun's troops on the north bank.
Speaking of which, this is indeed a good opportunity. Sun Chuanting led the thieves away. If Ying Yi's troops in Xiangcheng County cooperated at this time, Hou Xun's troops would immediately cross the river and head south. In the end, no matter how they fought, the situation in Kaifeng would not be worse than before.
If the three troops cooperate properly, they may not be able to defeat the thieves.
But what is worrying is that Hou Xun, who first received the news, still did not make any noise. As for Xiangcheng County, let alone Xiangcheng County.
It’s not a one-hearted mind, this battle cannot be fought.
Li Zicheng seemed to be in great power, but the current situation was not easy. He was also worried that Hou Xun would take advantage of the situation to move south, and even more worried that Xiangcheng's troops would cooperate with Sun Chuanting.
Therefore, Li Zicheng had a vague idea of retreating in his heart.
If Hou Xun went south and sent troops to Xiangcheng, he might run away directly. But he was not willing to accept it. It was the third time he had attacked the Feng, and if he had made such a big noise, if he was still a terrible one, his great cause would probably be unbearable.
While personally leading the troops south, I was also watching.
When Li Zicheng learned that Hou Xun had not moved, Xiangcheng was as energetic as ever. He immediately decisively abandoned most of his subordinates, and only brought 20,000 elite old thieves. He took the opportunity to attack and arrived near Jia County overnight.
Tian Jianxiu suffered a defeat and retreated to the branch of Funiu Mountain east of Jia County. He was in the mountains and met with Li Zicheng.
"This time, our veteran only brought the elite camp." Li Zicheng said with his hips: "It is precisely because the soldiers are very fast, and we will beat Sun Chuanting to death first."
This is Li Zicheng's plan.
Nowadays, the situation and overall situation, he is still surrounded by three parties. If the three parties cooperate properly, it will be difficult for him to jump out of the middle.
Therefore, we must concentrate, clench our fists, solve one problem first, and open up the situation.
"We don't know that soft boy Hou Xun has never dealt with. But the Ming thieves in Xiangcheng are not idle people. Therefore, they should be quick and cannot be delayed. Kill Sun Chuanting first. When the Ming thieves in Xiangcheng react, we have already won a great victory. At that time, we will fight and leave if we want."
The more he said Li Chuang was more proud: "Yuan Zongdi was in Yuzhou. When our old master destroyed Sun Chuanting, he would rush his troops south, go around behind his dog-entry butt, attack Yuan Zongdi, and give him a fierce look. Kill him a bastard."
"Breaking Wang Yingming!"
"The Lord of the King of Destiny, a mere thief, is insignificant!"
A large number of flatteries came over, and Li Chuanghong looked gloomy and said, "When the Ming thieves in Xiangcheng are destroyed, hehe, the world is so big, I think what can Emperor Chongzhen do to me? Kaifeng, hum, our old capital has come up with a solution to make the king of Zhou and the bullshit governor suffer a big loss!"
At that time, the soldiers, and horses were ready to take full advantage of the situation, and were ready to attack in full swing.
"Tomorrow morning, kill Sun Chuanting!"
Sun Chuanting did not know the movement of the thieves at first. However, Sun Chuanting's camp was very cautious, and even if Li Chuang attacked at night, he might not be Sun Chuanting's opponent. As for soldiers like thieves, night attacks are not a strong point. Because there is no discipline, the harms of night attacks outweigh the benefits.
It was at dawn that Sun Chuanting learned that the thief had arrived.
But Chen Yongfu rushed forward and arrived.
"The commander, the last commander came to the thief. Halfway through the road, I found that all the elite thiefs were gone. I was afraid that the thiefs would be quick and dare not neglect them. I immediately rushed over at night."
Chapter completed!
