Chapter 690
Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces, stood under the banner of the Chinese army calmly, seemingly as stable as Mount Tai, but in fact he felt a little uneasy.

He has read a lot of books since he was a child. At the age of [-], he was ranked nineteenth in Yimao Chinese Style;

After that, he successively served as the head of the Jiangxi Qingli Department of the Ministry of Punishment, Yuanwai Lang, and doctor, and worked in the Ministry of Punishment for six years.He was also transferred to other places, and successively worked in Zhejiang Tixueqian, Liangzhe Chengxuan Political Left Counselor, and Shaanxi Food Superintendent to participate in politics.

From the point of view at that time, although the future was bright, they were all civil servants.Until the second year of Chongzhen, when Yang He, the governor of the three sides, was in power, the peasant army Wang Zuogui and Miao Mei led troops to attack Hancheng.

Yang He had soldiers but no generals under his command. In desperation, he had no choice but to appoint Hong Chengchou, who was then the governor of Shaanxi and participated in politics, to lead his troops into battle.Hong Chengchou beheaded three hundred "thieves" in the first battle and broke the siege of Hancheng. From this, he became famous and was able to serve as governor, with the blood of the rebel soldiers on his hands.

Hong Chengchou has always been ruthless. He not only suppressed the bandits, but also killed the surrenders, thus forming a blood feud with the peasant army.

However, he has no regrets.In Hong Chengchou's view, these rogues are not "people", but just the bright red meritorious deeds in his resume.

Tu Yi is a crime, Tu Wan is a hero; if you kill nine million, you are a hero among heroes; but with Hong's one hundred thousand divisions, the world will be equal!
Although his idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel.The question is, if you can't beat the "thieves", what should you do?
Since Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces, led his troops east out of Tongguan, there are more than [-] people under his command.As a result, the officers and soldiers were defeated several times in World War I. Fortunately, they "died along with the bandit". In World War II, Wang Chengen, the commander-in-chief of Lintao, and He Renlong, a general in charge, were lost.

Now he never expected that the thieves came so fast, and launched a fierce attack on the officers and soldiers' camp before the officers and soldiers could gain a firm foothold.

Hong Chengchou originally planned to let the officers and soldiers take a breather with the help of the camp, and then make further calculations, but now the thieves don't give the officers and soldiers a chance to breathe, so things are difficult to handle.

The officers and soldiers were newly defeated, and their morale was low; and the thieves were so powerful that they were unstoppable, and now it seemed that there was only one way to retreat.

Hong Chengchou looked at the two sides fighting desperately in the distance with an uncertain expression, but there was a bit of panic in his heart.

He started out with military exploits, if he was defeated by military exploits again, what would happen to him?

The reason why Hong Chengchou hesitated was not that he could not judge the situation of the battle, but that he was at a loss as to where he was going.

As the old saying goes: If you prosper with this, you will die with it!Could it be that Hong Chengchou, who started his career with military merit, will also be defeated by military merit?

After thinking about it for a long time, Hong Chengchou gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind: let's repel this wave of attack by the culprits, and wait until the two sides are temporarily out of contact before ordering to retreat!
Retreat has always been a university question!Since ancient times, among the generals who lead the army, there are many who can win, but only a few who can lose.Once in a disadvantaged position on the battlefield, a slight retreat can easily lead to an avalanche-like rout.

At that time, Qin Lord Fu Jian led a crowd of millions, throwing whips to cut off the flow, intending to wipe out the Eastern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop and rule the world.

Just because the two sides confronted Feishui, in order to facilitate the decisive battle, the Jin soldiers asked the Qin soldiers to retreat for a while so that the Jin soldiers could cross the river for a decisive battle.

Fu Jian believed that it was just right to attack halfway across the river and defeat the elite soldiers of the Northern Mansion of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop.As a result, he never expected that just a slight retreat of his hundreds of thousands of troops would lead to a big collapse, and he created idioms such as "every tree is an army" and "the sound of the wind is jittery".

Although Hong Chengchou thought he was a better soldier than Qin Lord Fu Jian, he couldn't guarantee that under the fierce attack of the rebel army, he would be able to lead the officers and soldiers to withdraw safely.So, he wanted to wait and see again.

But Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, saw that it didn't matter, but suddenly there was a commotion on the left side of the camp.

Hong Chengchou hurriedly climbed up to take a look, only to see that officers and soldiers were approaching not far away.Looking at its banner, who is it but Chai Shihua, the general officer of Gansu?

No matter how well Hong Chengchou cultivated himself, he couldn't help yelling: "Father is a tiger, brother is a wolf, but he is a dog with ears!"

Immediately, he ordered the standard battalion under his command to temporarily stop the rout, and then sent more than a thousand troops to resist the following rebels.

It is said that Chai Shihua led more than [-] people under his command to flee in a hurry, and bumped into the standard battalion who came to intercept him and others.

Chai Shihua quickly shouted loudly: "The thief is fierce, please help me!"

According to the normal response method, Hong Chengchou's standard battalion should drive aside the soldiers in front of them, whether they are enemies or friends, so as not to collide with the formation.

It's just that Chai Shihua has been defeated several times, and he has already become synonymous with incompetence in Biaoying's mind.Now this person is an acquaintance, and panicked again, the soldiers and horses of the standard battalion were careless for a while, and they all laughed and said: "General Chai, collapsed again? Aren't you afraid of the supervisor's military law?"

"Isn't that so?" Chai Shihua replied shamelessly, "There's no other way. If you lose, you lose. It's just demoting officials and fines, so what? At worst, I can go back to Xining to farm."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, and they didn't notice that Chai Shihua led his troops approaching.

When Gansu general officer Chai Shihua approached the standard camp, he suddenly slashed over the small school in front of him with a knife, and shouted loudly: "The thieves have already entered the camp, and the officers and soldiers have been defeated. Come with me, everyone, and capture Hong Chengchou. Please give me credit for you!"

The standard battalion who came to stop Chai Shihua and other "broken soldiers" never thought that there would be such a change?Suddenly, he was caught off guard, and was caught off guard by Chai Shihua, who had always been "cowardly".

And the other standard battalion that was going to stop Zhang Sanbai and other rebels had just rushed to the side of Chai Shihua and other defeated soldiers, intending to circle around and "stop the enemy".

Chai Shihua had already ordered his men and horses to take the opportunity to attack them, and the Biaoying camp was immediately divided into two by Chai Shihua's men and horses, and they fought close to each other.

At this time, Zhang Sanbai and He Jin had already taken the lead and led the crowd to kill the generals.Hong Chengchou's bid battalion has no brave generals, how can it resist?He was immediately defeated by the hatchback!
That Hong Chengchou was commanding the battle at a high place, and he was still thinking about how to drive out the "thief" who had invaded the camp, how could he expect such a change.

His liver and gallbladder were torn apart immediately, and he realized a terrible fact in an instant: Chai Shihua had betrayed him!
how can that be?Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces, couldn't figure it out. Although Chai Shihua was not as good as Wang Chengen, Zuo Guangxian and others, he was still a hero. Why did he suddenly come to this point?

Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, didn't care to think about the reason, and quickly rolled down the high place.

It's over, it's over!Hong Chengchou didn't know what the end of the tens of thousands of troops under his command would be. He quickly got on his horse with guards on the left and right, turned around and fled westward.
