Chapter seven hundred and thirty seventh accident again
In fact, Xue Yongli knew very well that Chen Zhongzhi's accident would bring a lot of trouble to the Runing Army. If nothing else, just looking at the result, the court and outsiders would think that the Runing Army killed Chen Zhongzhi and annexed it.
His troops were killed. Moreover, no matter how much the Runing Army tried to explain, it was of no use.
But the situation has come to this, and we can only go on bravely. However, at the beginning of the whole battle, he encountered such an unpleasant thing, which made Xue Yongli feel quite uncomfortable. But then, another one
Unexpected news came.
Just when Xue Yongli was reorganizing Chen Zhongzhi's troops, he suddenly received an urgent report from Zhou Xun from Ruzhou. Zhou Xun wrote in the urgent report: "... come quickly for reinforcements, we are about to be surrounded by prisoners.
.”
Xue Yongli and his friends were immediately stunned by this incoherent and illogical statement. However, these words also reflected that Zhou Xun had lost his mind. With zero IQ, he expressed how excited and boastful he was,
What an arrogant feeling.
In the original plan, when Xue Yongli led his troops to surround Chen Zhongzhi, General Zhou Xun led Nanyang's troops to Ruzhou to feint to attract the attention of the Chuang camp. Later, Xue Yongli would lead his troops to break the siege of the Chuang camp.
Escorted Chen Zhongzhi's troops into Kaifeng and sent Yao Liang across the Yellow River. General Shu Mo led Guide's troops to protect Xue Yongli's troops from the flanks.
When all this is completed, these three troops will withdraw to their respective garrison locations, and Xue Yongli will concentrate the main force of the Runing Army and begin to move south to encircle the fifth battalion of Ge Zuo.
Therefore, according to the original plan, Zhou Xun set off with the troops from Nanyang at this time. Because he had to guard against Zhang Xianzhong's troops in Xiangyang, Zhou Xun could not take many troops with him, so he asked Zhang Biao to lead the expedition.
While most of the troops stayed in Nanyang, he personally led 3,400 cavalry to quickly attack Ruzhou.
At this time, the northeastern Henan region was completely enveloped by Li Zicheng's camp-breaking forces. Because Li Zicheng could not lead so many people to attack Kaifeng, he dispersed his troops to various places for food.
As a result, the peasant armies were happily looting in the cities and countryside. They still did not break away from their rogue nature. However, after Zhou Xun sent out troops, everything changed completely.
In the minds of the refugees and bandits in Henan, the Runing Army is a perfect combination of angel and devil. He is said to be an angel because as long as the refugees and bandits accepted by the Runing Army can always provide for their food and clothing, they can
These people can survive in years of great disaster and war.
He is said to be a devil. That is because as long as he infringes on the interests of the Runing Army, he will face crazy revenge from the Runing Army. It is simply that no one will be spared, and those who will not even protect or resist will be exterminated. So originally, although Henan
They are refugees, and bandits are rampant, but the Sihai Trading Company of the Runing Army can travel unimpeded in Henan as long as they rely on the flag of the Runing Army. No one dares to touch the caravan of the Sihai Trading Company.
And now the 700,000 troops that Li Zicheng had expanded to break into the camp were almost all composed of refugees and bandits from Henan. So when they saw Zhou Xun's banner of the Runing Army, they immediately fled. They didn't even think about resisting.
No, it's totally a mouse meeting a cat.
But the cavalry that Zhou Xun dispatched this time were very fast, and many of the men and horses who broke into the camp had no time to escape. So after the contact, those men and horses surrendered one after another, and soon Zhou Xun captured more than 30,000 prisoners.
Therefore, the officers of the Runing Army did not expect that they would have such a great influence in Henan.
At this time, Zhou Xun could no longer move. So many prisoners had already hindered his footsteps. Zhou Xun could not ignore the prisoners, otherwise, the prisoners would disperse again.
If he joins the camp again, wouldn't that increase the strength of Li Zicheng's camp?
So Zhou Xun asked Xue Yongli for help, asking him to send troops to get closer to him and control the prisoners first. However, in his excitement, Zhou Xun uttered those incoherent words.
And this "big victory" without any fighting once again left Xue Yongli speechless. This completely posed a problem for Xue Yongli - if the camp was so easy to deal with, should he change his plan and target Li Zicheng first?
How about settling down in Henan?
What a difficult choice! On the one hand, it is the established plan, and on the other hand, it is the great victory that may be achieved. At this time, Xue Yongli has no one to discuss with, so he must make a decision immediately.
After briefly weighing the pros and cons, Xue Yongli decided to maintain the original plan, because if it was changed at this time, the Runing Army would have to mobilize troops again, and after wasting this time, the situation might change again, and the Runing Army would also
You will face a situation where you cannot rely on both ends.
Besides, in order to rescue Kaifeng, Zuo Liangyu's tribe and the new governor Ding Qirui have sent troops to help. Li Zicheng's camp will also face the siege of various Ming armies, not many of the Runing army. And even if they win a big victory,
You just get a reputation and you don't get much benefit, so you'd better pick the fatter Gezuo Fifth Battalion first!
However, when this happened, the original plan of the Runing Army must be adjusted, so Xue Yongli asked Yao Liang to go to Kaifeng as planned, and asked the Shu and Mo Department to escort and protect him. His troops headed towards Ruzhou first to support the captives.
Zhou Xun was so worried.
"King Chuang! Those Henan people don't have the backbone of our Shaanxi people. They don't even dare to fight when they meet Butcher Wu. They only want to flee to us. Let me go out and lead the troops from our old camp to fight Butcher Wu."
A battle!" Liu Zongmin shouted loudly.
Knowing that soldiers and horses of the Runing Army had appeared in Ruzhou, Li Zicheng immediately became vigilant, because he was likely to be attacked from the front and back by the army. So he immediately summoned the main generals and began to discuss the account.
At the beginning of the account meeting, Liu Zongmin complained about the troops who surrendered without fighting, and volunteered to fight against the Runing army. However, as soon as he said this, the big tent became silent, because all the people who participated in the account meeting were
All the generals knew that Liu Zongmin had a bad idea.
Niu Jinxing, who was hiding in the corner of the tent, watched with cold eyes, which did not affect Liu Zongmin's performance at all. According to the intelligence already obtained, Chuangying had learned that Fu Zonglong from the north had arrived with troops from Beizhili in accordance with Ding Qirui's order.
We're on the edge of the Yellow River. It's just that the Yellow River is in flood season, so we can't cross it for a while.
And Zuo Liangyu is about to leave Shaanxi. Judging from his marching route, he will first enter Henan Prefecture to regain Luoyang, and then attack the Chuang camp that is attacking Kaifeng City. Butcher Wu is in Runing, and the troops returning to Germany are also ready to move, and now they are sending troops
Taking control of Ruzhou, Chuangying was suddenly surrounded on all sides.
Therefore, at this time, the first thing that Chuangying must do is to jump out of the encirclement. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they must not fight with the surrounding officers and soldiers. Otherwise, after losing their mobility, Chuangying will be surrounded by various officers and soldiers.
.
Niu Jinxing, courtesy name Juming, was born in Daniuzhuang (today's Shiqiao Township) in Beili. His father was a county doctor, so he was well-educated at a young age. He was a scholar in his twenties and was elected in the seventh year of the Apocalypse. He was a simple man and liked to read.
, is familiar with Tianguan, Fengjiao, Sun, and Wu's art of war. He has fields in Beibei, and he usually sets up a hall to teach apprentices, and lives a life that is only enough for food and clothing.
About the tenth year of Chongzhen's reign, Jin Xing had a quarrel with a relative surnamed Wang (son and daughter's in-laws), but that relative was a local gentry, so Niu Jinxing was falsely accused of resisting tax arrears and raped eighteen women, and was "wronged".
He was dismissed from the army and sent to the army to serve as a messenger.
In the winter of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng led the peasant army into western Henan. Niu Jinxing, who had been bullied by the government, joined the camp and was immediately put into Li Zicheng's favor. However, at the beginning, Li Zicheng only accepted Niu Jinxing because of his status as a judge.
, wanted to spend thousands of gold to buy horse bones, but Niu Jinxing immediately showed his extraordinary talent.
When dealing with Li Zicheng for the first time, Niu Jinxing suggested to Li Zicheng to "severe punishments and killings, relieve the hungry people, and win people's hearts." So Li Zicheng immediately accepted it. After attacking Luoyang City, he changed the original practice of the peasant army symbolically relieving the hungry people.
, the large-scale opening of the granary greatly expanded the power of the camp. Therefore, it was greatly reused by Li Zicheng. Therefore, in this account meeting, Niu Jinxing also joined in for the first time.
But now Niu Jinxing knew that his status in the camp was very low. Except for Li Zicheng, the generals in the camp did not think highly of the literati, so Niu Jinxing observed the performance of the generals in order to make correct decisions in the future.
So after listening to Liu Zongmin's words today, Niu Jinxing knew that he was bluffing. As the number one general in the camp, Liu Zongmin would definitely not be ignorant of basic military common sense. And the reason why he did this was simply to represent Li Zicheng and express his views.
He was not afraid of Runing's army when they broke into the camp. So Niu Jinxing secretly remembered that Liu Zongmin was not as reckless as he appeared on the outside, but a person who understood Li Zicheng's thoughts very well and was as attentive as his hair.
"Wave the flag! Say a few words!" Seeing the cold scene, Li Zicheng ordered the second general in the camp - He Waoqi.
"King Chuang! The road Brother Zong Min said is right. We need to go through Ruzhou, because Cao Cao is coming to join forces with us. But whether we want to fight or take a detour, we have to discuss it carefully." He Yao
Qi was very cunning and gave an answer that would not offend Liu Zongmin.
"A detour? How to detour? Is it possible for hundreds of thousands of us to detour?" Li Guo immediately raised an objection from the side.
"Then how to go? Should we go to Runing or Guide? Do we want to fight directly with Wu Butcher?" The rules for entering the camp were not very strict at this time, so generals like He Yaoqi didn't like juniors like Li Guo very much.
"It's not that we can't fight. I learned from the spies that Butcher Wu is not in Runing now, and he has brought the main force to Liaodong. We just took advantage of the emptiness to destroy his lair. After that, when we break into the camp, the sea and the sky will be bright and we can go anywhere.
." Li Guo was very unconvinced by He Waoqi's words.
"Empty? Can you send spies into Runing and Guide? We don't even know what's going on there, so let's just rush in. It's really children's nonsense." He Yaoqi curled his lips and said. (To be continued, please search.
