please make me king

Chapter 1201
Regardless of how the Qin and Ming countries reacted, let's say that Zhu Dadian, the governor of water transportation and governor of Fengyang, suffered a big defeat on the banks of the Qinshui River, so he had to flee all the way to Wuzhi County.

However, the commander-in-chief Hong Chengchou and the left commander Li Xin were unforgiving, and they followed closely behind, chasing all the way to the city of Wuzhi County.

It was dark at night, and the rebel army had traveled more than a hundred miles, exhausted, and had no choice but to set up camp for repairs.

Standing on the city, Zhu Dadian saw the bright lights of the rebel camp, and felt deeply worried, so he sneaked across Qinshui at night and went north to practice martial arts.

It turns out that at this time Qinshui was passing one mile north of Wuzhi County and turned southward, which happened to cut off the retreat routes of the Ming army retreating east and north in Wuzhi.

To the west is the menacing rebel army, and to the south is the rolling Yellow River. If Wuzhi County is besieged by the rebel army again, the five or six thousand defeated troops under Zhu Dadian's command will surely be unable to escape.

Zhu Dadian, the Governor of Water Transportation and Governor of Fengyang, was quite decisive, seeing that the rebel army was setting up camp outside the city, he ordered the soldiers in the city to eat a little and get ready to go.

At four quarters of the ugly hour, the rebel soldiers were exhausted and had already fallen asleep.

Zhu Dadian didn't even send anyone to investigate or harass him, he went straight to the mouth of Lianmei and Ma Le, crossed Qinshui quietly and fled back to Xiuwu City.

As soon as Zhu Dadian, the governor of water transport, arrived in Xiuwu City, he met the impatient Zheng Wang Zhu Zaiyu.

"Zhu Junmen, you are back!" Zhu Zaixi said anxiously, "I just heard the news from Huojia that some thieves raided Xinxiang County."

"Now Xinxiang City is trapped and the county magistrate is dead, and our army's retreat is cut off!"

Although Zhu Zaixi felt sorry for his son Zhu Yizhong, compared to the threat to his family and life, he obviously cared more about himself.

It turned out that in the past few days, Gao Yigong led a battalion of troops to lie down day and night, and now they finally bypassed the border of the Ming army and captured the almost unprepared Xinxiangcheng in one fell swoop.

The back road was copied, not to mention Zhu Dadian, the governor of the water transport, even Zhu Zaixi, who didn't understand the art of war at all, could see the danger.

"Weihui's mansion can't be saved!" Zhu Dadian felt as if struck by lightning when he heard the news, and immediately realized the danger.

"Come on, hurry up and go to Qinghua Town with me, and tell the supervisor about this military situation!"

"The subordinates take orders!" Following Zhu Dadian's order, some of the staff had already responded.

Then Zhu Dian continued to order: "Speak to the three armies, take a rest and prepare to go!"

Although it is unwise to sell teammates and bosses, it is nothing compared to one's own wealth and life.

"Report~ Yang Sichang, Minister of the Ministry of War and the right supervisor, brought Zu Dale, the commander-in-chief of the aid and suppression, to the outside of the city, and please go to the gate of the army to greet him!" Just when Zhu Dadian felt guilty, he never thought of Yang Sichang who was dozens of miles away. People actually rushed over.

"Okay, that's very good, I'll welcome him now!" Zhu Dadian couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, so he took Zheng Wang Zhu Zaixi to the west gate of Xiuwu County to meet Yang Sichang.

When the two met again, they couldn't help sighing for a while. At first, they thought that they would divide their troops and not leave, and there was still a chance of life, but now it seems that the result is the same.

"How about the loss, is it still possible to fight?" Yang Sichang knew the news of Zhu Dadian's defeat from the fleeing defeated soldiers, so he couldn't help asking quickly.

"Don't mention it, the loss is heavy!" Zhu Dadian shook his head with a wry smile and said hastily.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, please hurry up and retreat to Hui County with me!"

Yang Sichang was taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly his face changed drastically: "What's the matter?"

No one is stupid, it stands to reason that even though Zhu Dadian suffered such a big defeat, he would not be full of panic, and there must be a reason for it.

Sure enough, Yang Sichang heard Zhu Dadian explain again: "The thieves and strange soldiers have already occupied Xinxiang, and I fear that I will die without a place to bury me!"

"No, we must not let the thieves occupy this place!" Yang Sichang couldn't help shouting when he heard the words.

"But now we have wolves in front and tigers in back, and we have more than enough heart but not enough strength!" Zhu Dadian couldn't help but smiled wryly.

Yang Sichang didn't know what Zhu Dadian was thinking, so he couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, so he worked tirelessly to retreat to the northwest with Zhu Dadian and others.

In fact, although Yang Sichang was an official to the Minister of the Ministry of War, although he might not be as good as Zhu Dadian in battle, his vision was better than him.

It turns out that Xinxiang is not only the distribution center of "Wei Cao", but also has Guangying Warehouse here.

If it is taken over by "thieves", not only will people lose a lot of food and grass in vain and cut off the "Wei Cao Water Transport", but it is even more likely that the bandits will enter along the river and attack the famous Linqing, cutting off the north-south water transport again.

Yes, things are that funny.

Although Zhang Shun tried his best to avoid severing the north-south water transport of the Ming Dynasty, the Wei River water transport from Huixian County was originally part of the original Grand Canal-Yongji Canal, which was called "Yuhe" in the Northern Song Dynasty.

It was only since the Yongle period in the early Ming Dynasty that Ming Chengzu Zhu Di ordered Song Li, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, to dredge the Huitong River again, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was once again open to navigation, and the original "Wei Cao" declined.

However, the excellent waterway of "Weicao" is still the channel for tax collection and transportation in Henan.

The rebel army captured this place, not only obtained a large amount of food, but also threatened Daming and Linqing along the river to the northeast, so Yang Sichang couldn't help being frightened.

Of course, Yang Sichang, Zhu Dadian and others did not know that Zhang Shun had no intention of cutting off the water transportation, so as not to cause the collapse of the Ming Beizhi and the entire Jiliao and Xuanda frontier armies.

I don't take advantage of the snipe and clam fighting for the fisherman's benefit!
At the same time that Yang Sichang and Zhu Dadian left Xiuwu County, the soldiers of Zuo Shuai Li Xin had also arrived near Xiuwu.

Although the coach Hong Chengchou had tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but because of the large number and slow movement, Yang Sichang, Zhu Dadian and others who were determined to escape escaped.

"Zhiniang thief!" After Hong Chengchou received the news that Yang Sichang and Zhu Dadian had retreated and Li Xin had occupied the empty city of Xiuwu, he couldn't help cursing secretly.

Until this time, Hong Chengchou had to admit that it was a mistake for him to leave Huaiqing Fucheng rashly.

According to Zhang Shun's original plan, after the rebel army occupied Huaiqing Fucheng, Tianjingguan and Wen County, they should defend the Fucheng until the Ming army was exhausted.

Wait until the Ming army has lost its vigor, and then send out a large army to break it, and then let Wang Ding's cavalry battalion take the opportunity to cover up and kill them, so that they can completely defeat Yang Sichang, Zhu Dadian and others.

Although the rebel army defeated the Ming army on the banks of the Qinshui River, they were still unable to expand their results due to insufficient cavalry.

However, Hong Chengchou himself was also good at it, and his annoyance was fleeting, and he couldn't help but ordered: "Let the left commander Li Xin go east to capture Huojia, and join forces with Gao Yigong who occupied Xinxiang."

"Follow Wei Zhiyou to go eastward, seize Yuanwu County, connect Xinxiang to the north, and threaten Zhongmu to the south."

"Others will follow my army to the east and drive out Yang Sichang and Zhu Dadian's generation, all according to Wei Hui!"
