The spring breeze blows the Wei River, and the eight waters surround Chang'an.

Ancient Chang'an, since it was recovered by General Xu Da in March of the second year of Hongwu, it was renamed Xi'an Mansion.Thirteen dynasties successively established their capitals here. Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang thought that "the mountains and rivers in the world, but the middle name of Qin is the most dangerous and solid", ordered the governor Pu Ying to preside over the expansion of Xi'an City on the basis of the old city of the Tang Dynasty.

In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang made his second son Zhu Xi the king of Qin.In the same year, the construction of Prince Qin's Mansion began in the northeast corner of Xi'an Fucheng.

In the 11th year of Hongwu, the city of Xi'an was completed, with a total circumference of 27 miles. The wall was 12 meters high, and the bottom of the wall was 18 to [-] meters wide. The thickness of the city wall was actually greater than the height.There are four gates, and each gate has three towers, gate tower, archery tower and main tower.There is a high and deep moat outside the city, coupled with dense turrets and enemy towers, it can be said to be as stable as a mountain.

The Drum Tower and Bell Tower were built in the 13th year of Hongwu and the 17th year of Hongwu respectively, and their locations are no different from the Jingshi Tower and Bell Tower in the Yuan Dynasty.

Outside the city of Xi'an is the Guanzhong Plain, which is known as Qinchuan for eight hundred miles. It leans against the Qinling Mountains in the south, borders Beishan in the north, starts from Baoji Gorge in the west, and ends at Tongguan in the east.The weather here is favorable, the land is fertile, and the agriculture is developed. The Weihe River runs across the Guanzhong Plain from west to east. Both Guoqu and Longshou Canal are drawn from these rivers.Therefore, it has been a grain producing area since the Qin Dynasty.

On the Guanzhong Plain, more than half of the planting area of ​​untapped wheat is established, which has established the eating habits of Shaanxi people, especially Guanzhong people, to choose pasta as the first choice.However, over the years, man-made disasters have far surpassed natural disasters, and wars and wars have continued, and even grain-producing areas have been starved and starved for thousands of miles.

On the road leading to Baqiao, guards of honor, flags, sedan chairs and horses gathered, but it was the senior officials in Xi'an city at this time, headed by Feng Shikong, governor of Shaanxi, and inspector Huang Wei.Tian Shizhen, the prefect of Xi'an, Jian Renrui, the magistrate of Xi'an, Wu Congyi, the magistrate of Xi'an, commanded Cui Eryuan, Du Siqiu Congzhou, Wang Zhengren of Qian Shi, etc., under the leadership of the new trilateral governor Sun Chuanting, went out of the city to inspect the wheat harvest of farmers in Guanzhong.

The weather in Guanzhong is already a bit hot.It's a long walk again, and it's a little tiring.The civil servants in the sedan chair are better, and they can fan the wind in the sedan chair to cool off.Those military officers with helmets, armour, bows and arrows were all sweating and miserable.But even so, there was silence among the team.Only the sound of hooves and footsteps.

Sun Chuanting is a talented person who can shoot left and right. He can be called both civil and military, but his character is tough and decisive, and he is extremely difficult to provoke. When he was the governor of Shaanxi, he rectified all affairs vigorously. Submissive post, the first mention of Sun Chuanting's name is afraid.

His character is strong and upright.Even his teacher, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides at the time, wanted to let him have a bit of a sense that those who follow him will prosper, and those who go against him will perish.At that time, Sun Chuanting was the governor, and many people lamented that life was hard. After he was dismissed from office, many people applauded.

Among the team, it was Sun Chuanting's supervisor and pro-army, and the cavalry in the brigade was five cavalry.Hooves rumbled.The riders on the horses were all wearing bright red cloaks. Under the cloaks, the gleaming and crystal-clear breastplates shone dazzlingly in the sun, under the breastplates.It is the cotton armor inlaid with iron, and the thick copper nails on the cotton armor are shining brightly.

Most of the servants and soldiers have firecrackers on their bodies. The muzzles of the muzzles are carefully sealed with cloth caps to prevent dust from entering. They hold spears in their hands and long knives hanging from the saddle.Few people use bows and arrows.The kind of cold killing intent pervading his body, even in this wheat harvest season, makes people feel cold to the bone.

This is Governor Sun's servant He Biaoying. In order to show his support for him, Emperor Chongzhen not only gave him a large sum of money and food, but also allocated more than a thousand people from the elite of the Beijing camp to him to command and serve as his staff. directly under force. "These are heroes who have seen battles with Jiannu. You can use my brave tigers with confidence! But, don't waste your time fighting!"

With strong soldiers in hand and a large amount of money and food directly allocated by the emperor, Sun Chuanting returned to Shaanxi to serve as the governor of the three sides this time. Wang Qiaonian, who died in Henan, and Sun Chuanting's power and power far surpassed the ability to deter and control the leaders of Shaanxi, large and small.

"What's ahead?" Zai Ma wore a red official uniform, raised his thick and high eyebrows, and scanned the wheat fields in the distance with sharp eyes.

Although not as good as the harvests in Shandong and Henan, this year's wheat harvest should be good. This is already the unanimous opinion of Shaanxi officials.With enough food, the army can be trained and more soldiers and horses can be fed, so at this moment, Li Chuang, Cao Cao and others outside Tongguan have nothing to worry about.

Someone hastily stepped forward and reported to Sun Chuanting: "Go back to Governor Governor, Baqiao Ten Mile Slope is ahead!"

With a cry of "Oh", Sun Chuanting got off his horse and walked to the side of the road.

It didn't matter what he did, the long line immediately came to a standstill on the official road, Governor Feng Shikong of Shaanxi stomped on the sedan chair and patted the sedan chair bars, the bearers hurriedly staggered to stop the sedan chair.

"Master Feng, where is He Renlong, the deputy commander-in-chief of Xing'an Town?"

Before Feng Shikong came to him, Sun Chuanting asked.

Feng Shikong was startled, Sun Chuanting, as the governor of the three sides, could he not know where the troops in Shaanxi were stationed?I guess I have something to ask.In line with the principle of being cautious, in order to avoid standing on the wrong team and offending Sun Deaf, who is now in full swing, Feng Shikong replied quite rigorously: "At this time, we are in Xianyang."

"Wang Du passed away. Congratulations to Renlong, who seized his post and took on the responsibility of his crimes. He stayed in Xianyang to prepare for disasters at dawn and night. Your Excellency said: Renlong, a former general, is willing to forgive his crimes so that his servants can do their own thing. Your Majesty Xu Zhi, people and dragons will be at ease for a while, and there is no dawn or night to prepare for..."

Sun Chuanting raised his head abruptly, and in his eyes, the original arrogance that could not be concealed seemed to be hidden deeply, making him look more serious: "Xiaoye is prepared? Who is he guarding against? Who is he prepared for? If you have such thoughts, why don't you use them on the battlefield with the rogues and Liao thieves?! Damn it!"

So this is it? !

However, he still hesitated: "What does your lord mean?"

Sun Chuanting said with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth: "The He family's family is in Mizhi, and most of their clans are among the thieves, but he, He Renlong, is among the officers and soldiers. He Jinlong and He Yilong, the thieves, are both among the thieves." Qu Kui, he has been a disaster for many years! Shang Shu pretends, does he think that he can escape the punishment of the national law?"

"Kaixian made a noise and returned. The fierce commander sacrificed with the defeat of the lone army, and Cao's two thieves came out. So far, it has not been settled. When the enemy abandons the commander, he collapses first, causing Xincai and Xiangcheng to lose the second governor (Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiaonian). Can we wait any longer Let him abandon me and go away. What happened to Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiaonian?"

Sun Chuanting counted He Renlong's deeds one by one, and shouted sharply: "He is my old subordinate, how can we tolerate him!"

Feng Shikong was so frightened that his body was drenched in cold sweat, although it had been since the Chongzhen Dynasty.Killing ministers is nothing new, and killing officials who lead troops is not uncommon news, but it is still unheard of to kill a hero like He Renlong: "What do you mean, my lord?"

Sun Chuanting changed his face, took Feng Shikong's hand and said: "Didn't the imperial envoy come here a few days ago? In addition to sending money and food to pay bills, there is also a secret decree from the emperor, punishing people and dragons! The law of the country! The governor has long wanted to do this!"

Feng Shikong almost jumped up: "Zhuhe Renlong? This matter is no small matter!"

The charges were deducted one by one, leaving Feng Shikong speechless.Don't say that He Renlong's ass has too many bad debts, just a few members of his family who act as the backbone of the gangsters are enough to kill him!

"He Renlong is the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, and he is also in the same town as Li Zicheng. He has repeatedly killed thieves, and many rebels and thieves return to him. If there is a riot among the three armies, things will not be dealt with...Although Renlong's crime cannot be punished. Killing He Renlong would lead to the mutiny of the three armies and corrupt the place, I'm afraid it's, I'm afraid it's..."

Feng Shikong's words are also very clear, I have no objection to you killing Madman He, Governor, but, have you ever thought about it, killing him is just a one-shot thing, but after killing him?If the matter is not confidential, he cannot be killed.Instead, let him take the opportunity to mutiny, plunder Guanzhong, and join the ranks of thieves, so what?

At present, it is very easy to see a glimmer of light in Guanzhong.If the situation in Guanzhong is seriously damaged because of this incident, I am afraid that the emperor will kill you at that time!

Sun Chuanting sternly said bitterly: "Three calls are not coming, the soldiers return to the west, abandoning the generals and fleeing first, running away again and again, making the state affairs more and more unmanageable. If this generation does not die, who will die? This generation leads soldiers and generals, relying on There are some soldiers and horses who put selfishness first, regard the state affairs as trivial, think that they dare not kill him because they have soldiers in their hands? Think that they will be safe and sound because they have soldiers in their hands?"

Sun Chuanting waved his hand and motioned Feng Shikong to look at his pro-inspector army, "His reliance is nothing more than soldiers and horses! Are his soldiers and horses stronger than Ben Du, the elite soldiers who fought against the Liao thieves? The governor took the emperor's order to train a new army in Shaanxi. He wanted to enumerate the crimes in front of the generals, bind He people and kill them, so as to make an example of others! Lend him the head of the lunatic He to stand for the generals! role model!"

Seeing that Sun Chuanting's attitude was so firm and there was a large army, Feng Shikong couldn't say much, so he simply sat down with Sun Chuanting and deduced in detail how to deal with He Renlong.

A series of military orders were issued from the city of Xi'an, and troops were stationed in all directions.

The content of the military order is very simple, tell the sub-generals and above who are stationed in various places in Guanzhong, this governor has the military pay and food allocated by the emperor, if you want, you can send this governor to Xi'an Governor within two days after receiving the order Let's go!Don't wait!Those who are not out of date and who are making noise, beheaded immediately!

All of a sudden, feathers and stars galloped, and horses and horses came out in all directions. The courier with a small flag on his back rushed to the military towns in Shaanxi like sparks.He kept beating the horses under his crotch vigorously, and the various post stations did not know how many horses died of exhaustion.

The generals who received the order naturally did not dare to neglect, nor would they neglect.One is Mr. Sun, who is majestic and majestic, and each is in the hearts of the people.Two, right now the army has been in arrears of payment for a long time, those who have money can get back the payment if they go, and those who don't go may lose their heads or be scolded to death by their subordinates.This account, a fool can figure it out.

He Renlong who was stationed in Xianyang City, because when Wang Qiaonian was defeated and died in the Battle of Xiangcheng, Sun Chuanting once pleaded for him, "The former general of Renlong Chen, I would like to forgive his crimes so that my subordinates can do their own thing." So it is the same. Don't worry, he only brought two hundred guards, and Zhou Guoqing, Wei Daheng, He Guoxian, Gao Jinku and other confidant generals, hurried to Xi'an.

When He Renlong led Zhou Guoqing, Wei Daheng, Gao Jinku and others to Xi'an, the commanders and deputy generals of the towns on the three sides also arrived one after another.

Zheng Jiadong, general of Guyuan, Niu Chenghu, general of Lintao, Wang Ding, general of Yulin, Fumin, general of Ningxia, Lu Guangzu, deputy general of Lintao Town, Hui Xian, deputy general of Yulin Town, and so on. .

In front of the gates of the governors of the three sides are full of generals and officers in armor.From time to time, horse teams galloped up, and some generals jumped off the sweaty horses with loud cheers.

Among the nine sides, the towns in Liaodong have the best military pay.The rest are soldiers and horses from Jizhen, Xuanda and other places.As for the towns on the three sides, Yulin, Guyuan, etc.It was originally a barren land, and it couldn't use Liao thieves as a reason to ask for food and salary like Liaodong.Therefore, the trilateral food and salaries are often in arrears, and these people are the generals who lead the troops.Compared with the generals in Liaodong towns, their appearance and armor are also much worse. Not to mention the tattered clothes and armor, they all look ashamed after rushing for a long distance.

However, a large amount of military pay is about to be received, and they couldn't help but look excited, and they all laughed and laughed, "Donkey Ball" and "Our Laozi" greeted each other in front of the gate, discussed and went to a certain place in Xi'an after receiving the military pay. The scene of whoring, gambling, drinking and drinking in the gold selling cave.

He Renlong led a group of generals to arrive, and immediately a large group of acquaintances greeted his small group: "He Shuai." "He Shuai."

"Is Lao He here?"

"Hahaha, madman He is here?"

He Renlong greeted them.Grinning wildly.Zheng Jiadong, the commander in chief of Guyuan, and Niu Chenghu, the commander in chief of Lintao, are veteran generals like He Renlong, and they both escaped from Xiangcheng together with him, regardless of seniority, friendship, or interest. , and He Renlong can have a heart-to-heart relationship.

The two old army sticks also swaggered up to greet Madman He. On their thick black faces, there was a look of wind, frost, snow and rain. People who didn't know it would think that the owner of this face was an old farmer from northern Shaanxi.The iron armor on the two of them is also mottled and uneven, and I don't know how many times the armor leaf has been changed.Qin Bing's suffering.It can be seen from these two old military leaders.

"Old Zheng, Lao Niu has worked hard!"

"Master Sun wants to give us military pay, it's a lot of hard work!"

He Ren and Long Tong casually cupped their hands and winked at the two old partners.Signal them to look around. "Where are these soldiers and horses coming from? Deaf Sun's servants?"

When he entered Xi'an City with his troops, he found that there were many soldiers guarding the city head and gates.Although it is clear at a glance that they are recruits formed by the Shaanxi Township Party, their momentum is completely different from that of the battalions in other towns.All of them stood on duty on the top of the city with helmets and armour, swords and guns in their hands, despite the sweat dripping down, but they remained motionless.Such discipline, such soldiers.Crazy He is usually extremely arrogant, but he also has self-knowledge, thinking that it is absolutely impossible for his subordinates to do it.

Entering the city, such soldiers can be found everywhere, along the two sides of the street, standing there in groups of three or four.He Renlong took a close look at them. These soldiers were fully armored and sharp-edged. Although their faces were still a little rusty, they were strong and strong, and they were already elite soldiers. momentum.

"You mean these people?" Niu Chenghu pointed to the soldiers on duty on the street in the distance, "Master Sun received the imperial decree and spent a lot of money to recruit new soldiers on the ground in our Guanzhong."

"Recruit? I don't think it looks like Lao He, but it looks familiar!" He Renlong shook his head. These recruits had always given him a familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before.

"Have you seen it? Where have you seen it? Whose subordinates? We have also traveled all over the world. Is there any general who can train such recruits? And which general is willing to give these good soldiers to Mr. Sun Under his command? I haven't heard that Lord Sun brought any generals from the capital."

Regarding He Renlong's doubts, Niu Chenghu and Zheng Jiadong shook their heads one after another, but their expressions were also very envious: "It is indeed a good soldier. Although the servants in my camp are stronger than them, they are not easy to come by, so how can they be used like this?" ? Could it be the Beijing soldiers and horses sent by the emperor to Mr. Sun?"

When Niu Chenghu said this, he couldn't help laughing, "Hahahaha! You're kidding! You're kidding! Those soldiers in the Beijing camp look good, but they are actually pillow soldiers with embroidered patterns. You can't fight tough battles, and you can't suffer. You can only Form a team for the emperor to show his majesty and prestige!"

Regarding Niu Chenghu's mistake, He Renlong responded with a sneer of disdain: "If there were such soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp, the emperor would have beheaded us countless times!"

Zheng Jiadong said: "Lao He is right. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has killed Wei Zhongxian, Yuan Chonghuan, this, and that. He has never been soft-hearted. Have you ever seen him say no to people from the Zu family and the Wu family. You have to have a gun in your hand!"

Niu Chenghu said: "Lao He, I'm always a little uneasy. You said Tiger Sun put up such a big battle..." He looked around and said in a low voice: "Could it be that they want to hold me accountable for escaping at that time? crime?"

In fact, He Renlong also had such unease, but he never believed that Sun Chuanting really dared to actually deal with them. As for killing their heads, he would never even think about it, let alone think about it!

With soldiers, he is the Caotou King. Relying on the soldiers and horses in his hands these years, he He Renlong looks down on the heroes and ignores the officials.With soldiers and horses in his hands, he would not care about Yang Sichang, Fu Zonglong, or Wang Qiaonian, so what could they do?How can the imperial court congratulate him on a lunatic?

Really drove him into a hurry, he raised his arms from Mizhi's hometown, coerced tens of thousands of people and became a thief, this is no fun!Therefore, even if he pokes a big hole, at most he will be guilty and make meritorious service to redeem himself, and he will not dare to actually punish him.

This kind of crime and meritorious service, he can't remember how many times he has worn it. The emperor killed civil servants like mowing grass and killing chickens. He can only appease them, who have soldiers and horses in their hands!Otherwise, aren't you afraid that you will make trouble and mutiny, or even join the bandits?Anyway, his He family is not without people among the thieves, Ge Liyan He Yilong, Zuojin Wang He Jin, they are all big leaders who lead their own battalion.It is Li Zicheng who is currently in full swing, and his brother He Jinlong is also Li Zicheng's favorite general who valued him very much.Li Zicheng can even keep Chen Yongfu and his son, how can he not reuse someone like Madman He? !

So Sun Chuanting was as aggressive as the imperial court, just bluffing, but if he really did it, even if he borrowed 1 courage, he wouldn't dare to do it!

He also heard that although Zuo Liangyu was defeated by Zhuxian Town, all the elite soldiers and horses of his troops were lost.However, the imperial court was still intimidated by his notoriety, but the subsequent handling was as expected. The emperor only dared to vent his anger on civil servants, and even killed some generals who had no soldiers. .

He Renlong asked as soon as he thought about it.

"How is the rabbit master in Zuo Kunshan now? Is there any news about him?"

Both Niu Chenghu and Zheng Jiadong knew about the feud between him and Zuo Liangyu, and both of them gloated at his question.

"He? Claiming to be an elite of 20 people, he was beaten to death by a young boy who broke into the camp and led more than ten thousand new elite thieves, and fled from Kaifeng to Nanyang. Before his ass was warm, Hao Yaoqi and Yuan Zongdi's The brigade has arrived again. Right now, I am lingering in Xiangyang, recuperating from the injury on my buttock." Zheng Jiadong's obscene look is full of eyes that you can understand.

"Hmph! I think he can't stay in Xiangyang!" Niu Chenghu gave Zuo Liangyu a verdict. "The four prefectures of De'an, Chengtian, Jingzhou, and Xiangyang in Huguang are all rich in food and rice. If I were Li Zicheng, I would not leave it to Zuo Liangyu! Such a good place, why don't I take it down to raise soldiers ?!" (~^~)
