please make me king

Chapter 887 The Difficulties of Zuo Guangxian
After the chief of staff introduced the general topography and key locations of Shaanxi's "Three Sides and Four Towns", Zhang Shun didn't directly put forward any opinions.

He just looked up at Chen Changzhu and said, "General Chen, what is the current battle situation, please explain it to me!"

Chen Changbing was a little ashamed when he heard the words.

Ever since Zhang Shun planned a surprise attack on Tongguan for him last time, Chen Changliang thought better and better, so he followed the gourd to defeat Zuo Guangxian, the general soldier of Shaanxi, and seized the dangerous Tongguan.

However, Zuo Guangxian, the general soldier of Shaanxi, deserves to be a veteran.The officers and soldiers were defeated but did not collapse, and then retreated to Huayin and Huazhou, relying on the city to defend, which made Chen Changzhu quite uncomfortable.

He intends to fight the enemy in person again and show his bravery.

However, the old wound hadn't healed, so he had to fight with Zuo Guangxian to try to break this beast in one fell swoop.

Chen Changzhu couldn't help but smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Zuo Guangxian is a cunning guy. I didn't know how powerful he was after he was pushed to Huayin and Huazhou."

"That Huayin is in the front, and Huazhou is in the back. After the rebels occupied Tongguan, I led the army to attack Huayin."

"As a result, the Huayin defenders fought to the death and did not retreat. When the rebel army was a little tired, Zuo Guangxian led the army out of Huazhou to pinch the rebel army."

"The rebels couldn't resist, so they had to retreat back to Tongguan. Zuo Guang didn't take it too seriously, and still retreated to Huazhou, waiting for the rebels to attack again."

"It has been repeated over and over again, and neither side can do anything."

"Oh?" Zhang Shun replied noncommittally.

Although Chen Changbing's performance was not particularly outstanding, considering that his opponent was Zuo Guangxian who was as famous as Cao Wenzhao.

He was able to win and lose each other with roughly the same strength as the two sides, which can be regarded as a bit of progress for Chen Changzhu.

However, Zhang Shun would certainly not be satisfied with this.

He couldn't help but asked guidingly: "What's the terrain like here, is there any other strategy?"

"The north of the mountain and the south of the water are called Yin. As the name suggests, Huayin County is located at the northern foot of Huashan Mountain."

"And to the north of Huayin is the Weihe River. Huayin County is located between the two. Although it can't be called the danger that one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it, if you want to sneak across this place, it is really difficult."

"The terrain outside Huayin City is open, and you can have a panoramic view of the surrounding movement. Once the rebel army takes action, the officers and soldiers will light a beacon in the city and notify Zuo Guangxian who is stationed in Huazhou. Zuo Guangxian led the army to appear in less than [-]:[-], and Huayin officers and soldiers attack the rebels together."

When Zhang Shun heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

As one of the Five Sacred Mountains, Mount Hua has been known for its dangers since ancient times. "Shui Jing · Weishui Zhu" once recorded: "It is five thousand feet high, cut into squares, and looks like a flower when viewed from a distance." It is really difficult for the rebels to cross this mountain.

As the largest flow of the Yellow River, the Weishui River cannot be underestimated.

Although in recent years, the days have been dry.Now that spring is coming to an end, the water volume of the Wei River is increasing, and it is not easy to cross it.

This Huayin County lay in front of him, and it did cause a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun suddenly sighed and said, "Zuo Guang is delaying time first!"

Then he turned to Hong Chengchou and asked, "What is he waiting for?"

"He's waiting for the new trilateral leader to deal with the border troubles!" Hong Chengchou frowned, and then responded firmly.

"Last year, Houjin Khan and Hong Tai made an expedition to intervene in Han'er Huduntuhan. Huduntuhan was defeated and went west. He repeatedly violated our borders in Ningxia and other places."

"The minister led the main force of the officers and soldiers, and killed more than [-] of his troops in successive battles. Tiger Duntu was defeated and fled to Qinghai, and died of illness in Dacaotan."

"After this battle, Tumot and Cha Han'er's remnants were leaderless, and it was the time when the imperial court, the Ming Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty recruited them."

"Tumed is thousands of miles away from Houjin. If you want to compete with the Ming Dynasty, you can only have a chance of victory by approaching it with soldiers. Therefore, from the perspective of ministers, it should be Houjinhan who sneaked in. The new president of the three sides In order to control their offenders, we have to mobilize troops and horses to prepare for them, so we have no time to take care of them.”

"The governor of Shaanxi, Gan Xuekuo, is a rotten Confucian. He doesn't know how to fight, so he is bound to be helpless. He can only rely on Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, and the new trilateral commander-in-chief."

When Zhang Shun heard this, Hong Chengchou became a bit dazed by being "chaohaner" for a while, "huduntu" for a while, and "Tumed" for a while.

Then I heard it carefully, and after a while I realized that the Chahan'er tribe of Hudun rabbits originally grazed in the north of Zhangjiakou, and the approximate location was near the later Xilin Gol grassland.

Tumed is located in the Hetao area of ​​later generations. Dayan Khan and Altan Khan were the leaders of the Tumed tribe.

The former is left-wing Mongolia, while the latter belongs to right-wing Mongolia.The two continued the Mongolian tradition of internal strife, and the brains of people beat out the brains of dogs. As a result, Da Ming and Hou Jin took the opportunity to pick the peaches.

In fact, the real situation at this time is similar to Hong Chengchou's guess.

Last year, in order to avoid Hou Jin's attack, Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar tribe aggressively attacked the left-wing Tumed tribe of Mongolia.

Both the Chahar and Tumed tribes were seriously injured. This year, in order to completely defeat these two Mongols, Huang Taiji dispatched Dorgon and Yue Tuo to lead more than [-] elites, preparing to completely surrender the Chahar remnants and manage the Tumed tribe. department.

At the beginning of the year, Zhang Shun led the rebel army to kill Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, and captured the new governor of the five provinces, Hong Chengchou. Chief Soldier Chai Shihua, Generals He Renlong, Bai Guangen and others were all empty for a while, capable officials and generals from Shaanxi and the elite from the three sides.

Now the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of War and the Censor of the Right Capital, the governor of Shaanxi, Gansu, Yansui, and Ningxia, Liang Tingdong, the military affairs of the three sides, arrived in Shaanxi, and he was immediately stretched. It was extremely difficult. For a while, he scolded Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, hundreds of times. .

If you think about it carefully, it is not a loss for Hong Chengchou to be scolded.

Ever since he became the governor of Yansui, this guy has acted quite domineeringly.He often mobilizes and selects the elite warriors from the three sides and four towns, all of which belong to himself, in order to make contributions and wipe out the rebels.

This Hong Chengchou was quite gifted in command, leading these elite soldiers, the rebels who fought for a while couldn't find the north, he could be called one of the nemesis of the rebels.

However, there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings.

When he led the three main forces to attack Luoyang, he was defeated by Zhang Shun in one battle and chased and killed for more than a hundred miles.

Leaving aside the fact that he himself was captured by the Shunying camp, the most daring fighters among the other generals, deputy generals, and generals suffered seven or eighty-eight losses from top to bottom, and the whole of Shaanxi was immediately emptied.

After Liang Tingdong, the new trilateral governor, took office, the first thing he did was to select generals to fill the vacancies in the imperial court, and then to select soldiers and reorganize the trilateral elite.

After the approval of the imperial court, Fang promoted Liu Shaozong to be the commander-in-chief of Gansu, and You Hongxun to be the commander-in-chief of Lintao.Barely put up the shelf of three sides and four towns.

However, misfortunes never come singly. The new trilateral governor has just smoothed out the military administration in Shaanxi. Prince Aixinjueluo Dorgon and Aixinjueluo Yuetuo led more than [-] elites to attack Chaha with the support of Guihua City The remnant of Seoul.

How dare Liang Tingdong, the governor of the three sides, be careless?He quickly ordered the governors and commanders of the three towns of Gansu, Ningxia, and Yansui to mobilize troops and horses to stand in line to prevent the Jurchens from harassing and attacking the city.

It's just that since then, Zuo Guangxian, the Shaanxi general stationed in Tongguan, has been sad.

In such a huge Shaanxi, sitting on three sides and four towns, unexpectedly only the Shaanxi Governor's Office has surplus soldiers to support him.At that time, Gan Xuekuo, the governor of Shaanxi, was a man who didn't know how to fight. He had no soldiers and no generals under his command. Where could he have reinforcements?
After coming and going, Zuo Guang, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, finally understood that unless he survived until Jurchen retreated, the imperial court would have no reinforcements at all.
