please make me king

Chapter 621 Can't Wait

When the volunteers Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong, and Li Hongji, now renamed Li Zicheng, decided to open the road from Mount Song to the Eastern Henan Plain, they launched a fierce attack on Dengfeng County.

Xuan Mo, governor of Henan Province, only thought that Li Jiyu, the bandit in Yuzhai on Yushan Mountain, was just a bandit. How could he have thought that he would have collusion with King Shun, and even the rebels would come to help him.

Li Jiyu's Yushan and Yuzhai are based on dangerous terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.When Li Jiyu stayed in Dengfeng, he devoted himself to the construction and management of this place. The early construction was as solid as gold, and the food and water sources were sufficient.

The officers and soldiers were besieged for a long time, but they could not get off.Xuan Mo, governor of Henan, had no choice but to send Zuo Liangyu and Li Bei, who were the most able to fight, to take turns to fight, while he himself led [-] people from the Beijing camp Ni Chong to sit in Dengfeng County to wait for the victory.

In the end, where did he expect that a large group of rebels suddenly appeared from the west?Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, and Zhang Xianzhong already had many cavalry under their command, and their tactics were varied.How are Henan Governor Xuan Mo and Ni Chong rivals?
They were immediately defeated by Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong, so they had to flee into the city and defend to the death.

Luo Rucai then sent Yang Chengzu, a hero under his command, to lead the cavalry to cut off the connection between the city and the soldiers and horses besieging Yuzhai in Yushan.

Zuo Liangyu and Li Bei couldn't help being terrified, they hurried back to the main army, trying to rescue Henan governor Xuan Mo and Beijing camp commander Ni Chong.

Seeing the officers and soldiers leaving Yuzhai in a hurry, Chen Jindou offered advice to Li Jiyu: "The enemy is strong and we are weak. The two sides fought fiercely dozens of times regardless of the outcome. They will definitely fight to the end. As a result, the other generation has left in a panic. King Shun's reinforcements have arrived, and the officers and soldiers were caught off guard."

"General, why don't you personally lead the army to follow behind, flanking back and forth, and you will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"

As a result, when Ji Zhiying heard the words, he quickly refuted: "General, don't listen to the nonsense of this old guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. This is clearly a plan for the officers and soldiers to divert the tiger away from the mountain. If the general leaves the camp lightly, he will definitely be ambushed by the officers and soldiers. At that time, the general will not be able to escape." , this Yuzhai will definitely be captured by officers and soldiers waiting for an opportunity!"

Li Jiyu is not stupid.Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "A man can't eat with five cauldrons, so he cooks with five cauldrons! I looked from the top of the mountain and saw gunpowder everywhere in Dengfeng County. It must be that King Shun's reinforcements have arrived."

"What's more, when the officers and soldiers retreated, although they were in a hurry, they were in an orderly manner, and many unimportant things were abandoned and destroyed. It must be because of the emergency of the military that they had to retreat!"

"If there is indeed an ambush, why should they destroy those heavy things? I have made up my mind, and I can lead five hundred men under my command, as well as Zhang Ding, Wang Sheng and Shen Jingbang to fight. Chen Jindou, the left-behind staff officer, and Ji Zhiying, the banner chief camp."

Immediately, Li Jiyu led [-] people to follow and rushed all the way to the vicinity of Dengfeng County.Sure enough, a large number of cavalry arrived and surrounded the two battalions of Zuo Liangyu and Li Bei.

The battle between the two sides was in full swing, so Li Jiyu led his men and horses to kill the generals, attacking back and forth.Suddenly Zuo Liangyu and Li Bei were in chaos, and they were scattered and fled by the rebels.

The governor of Henan, Xuanmo and Ni Chong, saw it early on in Dengfeng County, and the governor of Henan, Xuanmo, couldn't help but ordered: "The thieves are powerful, and Dengfeng County must not be defended. I also ask Mr. Ni to fight out with me. Only by standing out from the encirclement can we have a chance."

The reasoning is such a reasoning, but the poor Henan Governor Xuan Mo made a mistake this time.Originally, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, and Zhang Xianzhong only planned to open a way to help Li Jiyu, and they were worthy of Zhang Shun.

How can Xuanmo and Li Jiyu think that the reinforcements sent by King Shun have arrived, and they are going to do their best to wipe out the officers and soldiers near Songshan Mountain, so as to relieve the crisis in the east.

It doesn't matter if Xuan Mo and Ni Chong broke through, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that these three men had few artillery pieces, but many cavalry.Therefore, the three of them couldn't attack the city and fought in the wild, but they were not convinced no matter who they encountered.Not to mention Xuan Mo, governor of Henan, and Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces, the three of them had dealt with him for a long time.

So, these three people plus Li Jiyu, a total of [-] troops, fought fiercely with the officers and soldiers outside Dengfeng City for half a day, until "a tiger" led his personal guards to break into Xuanmo's army and stabbed Xuanmo, the governor of Henan, to death. After the defeat, Zuo Liangyu, Li Bei and Ni Chong couldn't help but fled to Xinzheng.

Not to mention how they cleared up the battlefield, just say that Zuo Liangyu, Li Bei, Ni Chong and others were defeated and fled to Xinzheng County. Only then did they gather their troops and go to gather the Liang soldiers who had besieged Renchen in Yuzhou. .

The three of them sat down and explained the matter in detail, and Da Liang Bing Bei Dao couldn't help being surprised.All military personnel were civil servants, with cultural knowledge as their background, so they naturally have a lot of insights into the art of war.

He knew very well that once Henan Governor Xuan Mo died, the thieves would flee into the Central Plains, and they would be like a fish in water, unstoppable.

Although he had never heard of the imperial court's "eight-door golden lock", he quickly followed the usual practice and sent a letter to Hong Chengchou, the new governor of the five provinces, asking him to make a decision.

At this time, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, had just seized Xin'an County, and he was sitting here fighting against Zhang Shun, testing each other.

Hong Chengchou, who was still mature and prudent, couldn't help being shocked after reading Daliang Bingbeidao's letter, and couldn't help clapping his hands and said: "Hey, disasters have happened, the Central Plains military affairs have gone bad!"

It's no wonder Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces, reacted in such a way. Originally, the rebels gathered in Luoyang City, but the officers and soldiers laid out the "eight golden locks" plan to wipe out all these beasts.

But he never expected that at this critical moment, the rebel army would break through the Songshan defense line and break into the eastern part of Henan.

The topography of the Central Plains, from the east of Songshan Mountain to the west of Mount Tai, with the river in the south and the river in the north, is an endless plain.The land here is fertile and the crops are luxuriant. It is an important land for grain production and the basis of taxation in agricultural society.

Not to mention how the officers and soldiers were able to chase and intercept the rebels, it would damage the cultivation, and miss the tax would be a sin of death!
There is no way, Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces, knows that this time, he should attack anyway.If not, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to attack in this life.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou ordered: "If you pass the order down, you can order the whole army to rectify the soldiers and horses. Tomorrow morning, we will bury the pot and make food, go to the city of Luoyang, and force the 'Shun Bandit' to fight me!"

When the left and right staff heard this, they couldn't help being surprised, and quickly dissuaded them: "Master, didn't you plan to be mature and prudent in the first place? How can you change the order overnight, take a temporary risk, and miss the merits of a lifetime!"

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Why don't I want to do this? But you can wait for this matter, and I can wait. It's just that the emperor can't wait, the court can't wait, and the world can't wait!"
