please make me king

Chapter 1292 The siege of Lu'an
Just when the Ming army and the rebel army were fighting inextricably outside Taiyuan City, a big battle was about to break out in Luzhou Prefecture, Shanxi.

"General Cao, the name of this mountain is: Gypsum Mountain, and the name of this village is: Houmen Village. Pass through this mountain and reach Yuerquan in Qinyuan, and then enter Shangdang territory!" "Huaguansuo" Wang Guangen was Cao Wenzhao Pointing to the scene surrounded by mountains in front of him, the peaks and peaks are towering and emerald.

"Not only that, this gypsum mountain does not mean gypsum produced in the mountain, but 'the gypsum is the liquid of the gods', because it has many stalactites." Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but smiled slightly.

"Huaguansuo" Wang Guangen immediately laughed when he heard the words.

It turned out that Wang Guang'en was a rebel general who raised the army with Zhang Xianzhong, but his luck was not good, and he was far less famous than Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Tianlin and other rebel generals.

Later, after taking refuge in the rebel army, he followed Cao Wenzhao.It's just that his reputation and status are not as good as others, so he has the intention of making a big splash by taking advantage of this opportunity to go on an expedition.

However, this Cao Wenzhao is a veteran general, and he has been "suppressing bandits" in Shanxi for many years. He knows the mountains and rivers very well, so why should he make noise?
"This road is difficult for vehicles and cannons, only men and horses can pass!" Cao Wenzhao couldn't help laughing because he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Since Yang Wenyue was able to defend Lu'an to the death, it must be because the mountains are high and the city is dangerous, and the artillery cannot be used."

"If you want to make meritorious deeds, but do your best, you will certainly have your merits!"

Wang Guangen couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and said, "A word from a gentleman?"

"It's hard to chase four horses!" Cao Wenzhao nodded in response.

If you want to live there, you have to give enough benefits.

This Wang Guangen is not a direct descendant of Cao Wenzhao, to some extent he is the "Supervisor" sent by Zhang Shun, so he naturally wants to give enough face.

From Lingshi to Qinyuan one hundred and sixty miles away, it took Cao Wenzhao two days to reach the city of Qinyuan.

Qinyuan City is only two miles away, Qinshui is only one mile away, and it is far away from the Lu'an battlefield. How could anyone imagine that he would be missed?

When Cao Dingjiao led the rebels into the city, the county magistrate of Qinyuan was drinking in the back yamen, but was dragged out by the rebels and chopped up, so Qinyuan went down.

How alert Cao Wenzhao was, seeing how lax Qinyuan City was, he couldn't help thinking of a plan.

He quickly ordered: "Let Cao Dingjiao lead the troops to garrison here, and Wang Guangen lead the troops to attack Qinzhou day and night, and I will lead the troops to follow closely behind and fight for them!"

The "Huaguansuo" Wang Guangen couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, but he didn't know that the opportunity had come.

Qinyuan is [-] miles away from Qinzhou, so he traveled both ways, and it only took him two days to reach the outside of Qinzhou city.

Qinzhou Zhizhou and Commander did not expect the rebels to be so fast. After only half a day of fighting, Qinzhou Commander died in battle, Qinzhou Zhizhou committed suicide, and Qinzhou went down.

When the news reached Luzhou Mansion, the Ming army couldn't help being terrified. They never expected that the rebel army would steal their way out.

It turns out that the three prefectures of Zelu, Qin, and Liao in the Ming Dynasty were the place of Shangdang in history.

This place is the Taiyuan barrier in the south and the Hebei barrier in the east.

Now Daming has only two important places in the north, one is Taiyuan and the other is Beizhi.

If these two places do not exist, it will be difficult for the capital to survive.If the capital does not exist, then the north is not owned by Ming Dynasty.

And the land of Shangdang, "one throat and two songs", is the barrier between Taiyuan and Beizhi.

Zelu Qinliao, Zezhou has already been in the hands of Li Xin, the left commander of the South Route Army of the Rebel Army, and now Qinzhou has been lost, leaving Lu'an Mansion and Liaozhou alone.

However, during Qinzhou's crossing period, Lu'an Mansion and Liaozhou couldn't communicate with each other at a distance. The governor of Shanxi Yang Wenyue was naturally in a dead end, and there was nothing he could do.

Therefore, when he heard that the rebel army had surrounded Qinyuan and Qinzhou, he could not help lamenting: "So, Lufu is in trouble, Taiyuan is in trouble, the capital is in trouble, and the world is also in trouble!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yang Wenyue finished speaking, some soldiers came to report: "Fujun, Wang Zhaosheng, the deputy envoy of military preparations, is begging to see you!"

"Quick, please hurry up!" Yang Wenyue couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but hurriedly ordered while welcoming him out.

Yang Wenyue had just walked out of the door when he saw a person walking over with the support of two soldiers.

Yang Wenyue hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said, "Zi Chan is not feeling well, but if something happens, just let the soldiers pass it on, so why bother?"

"Fu Jun, I've heard about it!" Wang Zhaosheng, the deputy envoy of southern Hebei military preparations, said with a wry smile.

"Back when 'Optimus Prime' was in Lu'an Mansion, Wan Sheng failed to subdue this person, causing a catastrophe, and thus today."

"Late gangrene occurs on the back, there is no cure for medicine and stones, and I know my fate is not long."

"I am willing to defend this city for the Fujun today, and please leave the Fujun quickly, and try to recover in the future!"

"Hehe!" Yang Wenyue couldn't help laughing bitterly when he heard the words, "Although the world is big today, where is Yang's place?"

"Yesterday I lost Qin, today I lost Jin, and tomorrow I will lose Yan land. Although the land of Ming Dynasty is vast, if you don't care about a city and a land, sooner or later an inch of land will not be owned by the Ming Dynasty."

"I was born as a wise minister, and died as a wise ghost. How can I be replaced by a child!"

Yang Wenyue stayed in Lu'an Mansion, and soon Cao Wenzhao and Wang Guangen came together, and together with Zuo Shuai Li Xin and Li Fuchen, a total of four camps encircled Lu'an Mansion.

Lu'an Mansion is the old place of Shangdang, governing Huguan City.

The city is twenty miles around, three feet high, two feet wide, and four gates.

Among them is the "Imperial City" of Prince Shen's Mansion. On Wednesday, it can be described as a "two-tier city defense system".

Of course, if it's just like this, this Lu'an Mansion is not enough to reject "Master Wang".

It turns out that since the rebels left Lu'an Mansion, Zezhou and other places that had been ravaged, the gentry and officials in these two places learned from the pain and built artillery, built forts, and trained soldiers one after another in order to protect themselves.

The best among them is naturally Zhang Shun's old acquaintance, Wang Zhaosheng, the Southern Hebei Bingbei Daoist.

In the first battle of Lingchuan, the rebel army took the lead in breaking through Wang Zhaosheng's troops, and Liu Cheng took the opportunity to kill Song Tongyin, the governor of Shanxi. Zhang Shun became famous because of this, and Wang Zhaosheng was naturally deeply ashamed.

Since then, he has devoted himself to training soldiers and casting artillery, in order to make others hate him.

Although Lu'an Mansion's smelting technology is not as famous as Yangcheng, it is also the location of the famous "Run Guo Smelting".

Wang Zhaosheng trained [-] soldiers here, and cast countless types of firecrackers, cannons, armors, and weapons of various sizes.

As a result, no one expected that under the circumstances, the rebel army grew stronger and Zhang Shun became the king of Qin.

Although this caused Wang Zhaosheng to never have a chance to take revenge in his life, but at the same time, he also cheated Li Xin, the left commander of the South Route Army.

It turned out that there were five battalions under Li Xin's command, but as a result, Ma Jinzhong's battalion left Yuanqu to the west, and Wei Zhiyou's battalion went north to Yueyang, so there were only three battalions left under Li Xin's command.

And among these three battalions, one battalion was reserved to be stationed in Zezhou. As a result, Li Xin could only use two battalions of [-] troops to face the [-] troops under the command of Governor Yang Wenyue of Shanxi and Wang Zhaosheng, the deputy envoy of southern Hebei military preparations.

The other party couldn't shrink back, so Li Xin and the others naturally had nothing to do.

"Is there no artillery?" Cao Wenzhao frowned, looked at the densely packed artillery on the city, and couldn't help but turned to Li Xin and asked.

Li Xin naturally knew what Cao Wenzhao meant, so he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "King Shun equipped us with thirty General Qingtian cannons, and fifteen of them were left in the hands of my nephew to attack Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and other fortified cities. "

"The ten gates are left in Hong Shuai's hands to deal with the enemies in the direction of the Daming Mansion. We only have five gates in our hands."

"Five doors?" Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but raise his voice.

Are you kidding me, you have five siege cannons in a big city twenty miles around the city, so how can you fight this battle?
