Blood from Daming

Chapter 816

Ji Laxi also knew that he wanted to become the Khan King of the five tribes of Khalkha, and the three generals Gao Yigong, Ma Ming, and Wang Ping could not answer, but he had to make a choice. He hoped that after helping the Gao family army, Xue Yun The general's rewards for meritorious deeds are not far from his own requirements.

Gao's army and Wang Ping's troops have a total of 1 soldiers. Since Ji Laxi and Chaganbari agreed to participate in the war, the total force is close to [-]. As long as they are properly coordinated with King Fugu's own use, it is believed that Yansui and Guyuan towns that defeated Hong Chengchou It's not impossible for the officers and soldiers to do it.

On June 28, Hong Chengchou's army arrived in Jiazhou. Mao Zhixian and garrison Guo Jingsong led the soldiers and civilians to welcome them ten miles away. Hong Chengchou set up camp outside Jiazhou city. Gao Yigong went to Jiazhou to serve his life.

Mao Zhixian had no choice but to follow suit, but the letter from Mao Zhixian had just been sent out. Hong Chengchou, in the name of Zhangjiazhai in Jiazhou's smuggling with Fugu bandits, ordered You Shilu, the commander-in-chief of Yansui East Road, to lead more than [-] troops to take over the entire Zhangjiazhai. The family village was surrounded by groups, and in the name of searching for the remnants of the rogues, Zhangjiazhai was asked to open the gate of the village to accept the search.

The people in Zhangjiazhai know that they have been wronged. Once the Yansui Town official army is allowed to enter the village, there will be a burst of burning, killing and looting. It was agreed to let his eldest son lead the villagers to resist the attack of the official army.

So Zhang Zhangfu sent people to ask for help from Gao's army, and at the same time mobilized all the people in the village to go up to the wall for defense. Due to frequent wars in Zhangjiazhai, there are less than 400 young and strong people who can go up the wall. Shaozhai advocated that Jiyou had to add a group The teenagers made up the numbers and used the old people to pretend to be officers and soldiers of the Ming army in the young and strong town.

However, Hong Chengchou's drunkard's intention was not to drink, and he did not let You Shilu, the general soldier of Yansui East Road, attack Zhangjiazhai, but hoped to use Zhangjiazhai as bait to catch Gao's army and take the opportunity to annihilate Gao's army in the field. Hong Chengchou's wishful thinking The fight was loud, and the Gao family army came as Hong Chengchou wished.

On the first day of the seventh month of the third year of Chongzhen, all the troops of the Gao family came out. More than 2000 people from the Mongolian army in Djilaxi and Chaganbari, and the militia in Mizhi, a total of more than 1000 people, arrived at the Zhang family. At the same time, Hong Chengchou's army also moved from Jiazhou City to camp five miles north of Zhangjiazhai.

Hong Chengchou led Du Wenhuan, general soldier of Yansui, You Shilu, general soldier of Yansui East Road, deputy general Ai Wannian, general Chen Hongfan and other generals to watch the enemy. King Qin's Gao family army suffered heavy losses. It would be good if they could send out five or six thousand remnants. Now the Gao family army has twice as many troops as he expected. It may not be easy for him to eat the Gao family army.

Hong Chengchou regretted not bringing Mao Zhixian and garrison Guo Jingsong. It seems that he still doesn't know much about Gao's army. In the same year, General Chen Hongfan and other generals returned to the camp to discuss matters.

In the afternoon, Wang Ziyong led more than 2 volunteers from Fugu to set up camp ten miles east of Zhangjiazhai. This sudden situation stunned Hong Chengchou and the officers and soldiers of Yansui Town. All fools knew that Gao Jiajun and Fugu bandits After uniting, the officers and troops of Yansui Town were immediately at the disadvantage of being attacked by the enemy from both sides.

On the second day of the seventh lunar month, Hong Chengchou still led the Ming army to line up, and the Gao family army also lined up tit for tat, while the Fugu rebel army was waiting in the distance to the east. At this time, the distance between Hong Chengchou's Ming army and the Gao family army was less than five miles. Gao Yigong strikes up a conversation.

Gao Yigong came out from the Gao family army, and Hong Chengchou slowly left the Ming army under the protection of Yansui general Du Wenhuan and lieutenant general Ai Wannian. Seeing that the other party came out, Wang Ping, the general of the Xue family army, was worried that Gao Yigong would fail. , I said hello to Ma Ming, and rode the horse to catch up with Gao.

At a distance of a hundred steps between the two armies, Hong Chengchou, Du Wenhuan, Ai Wannian, Gao Yigong, and Wang Ping all stopped at the same time. Du Wenhuan said to Hong Chengchou: "My lord, there are indeed Mongolian soldiers in the Gao family's army."

Ai Wannian said: "My lord, there are a lot of mizhi militia in it."

Hong Chengchou's face was ashen. He knew that there were Mongols attached to the Gao family army. These Mongolians surrendered to Xue's army in Beijing. Officers and soldiers, this made Hong Chengchou unbearable. Could it be that the entire Mizhi County is a thief? Hu Tingyan kept saying that Mizhi County is a model county in Shaanxi.

Hong Chengchou's original intention was to nibble away at the Gao family's army step by step, but he didn't know that the Gao family's army reacted very strongly when he made a move. Although he immediately colluded with the Fugu bandits, he still underestimated the Gao's army's determination to rebel. What disappointed Hong Chengchou most was that the leader of the Gao family army, Gao Guiying Being bedridden, the Gao Family Army is now in charge of three fresh-blooded stunned youths.

Hong Chengchou, Du Wenhuan, Ai Wannian, Gao Yigong, and Wang Ping both moved forward another [-] steps. Du Wenhuan, the general of Yansui, shouted: "The person here is Gaoqian from the Mizhi Army Village. I have met Lord Hong, the governor of Yansui. Get off your horse and kneel down to greet him."

Gao Yigong laughed loudly and said, "Benqianhu was taught by Mr. Hu, governor of Shaanxi. Benqianhu only has the imperial court and Mr. Hong in his eyes, and he doesn't know Mr. Hong."

At this time, Hong Chengchou said: "Gao Qianhu, since you are loyal to the imperial court, how dare you disobey the order of Benfu, and now you are still gathering people to resist the imperial court. Do you want to be punished by the nine clans?"

Gao Yigong smiled coldly and said, "Lord Hong's actions are probably aimed at Gao's nine clans."

Hong Chengchou said: "Gao Qianhu, before you have done anything wrong, you should rein in the precipice immediately. I will not be held accountable on the sidelines. If you are willing to follow me to attack the thieves, I will at least have to protect you as a general."

Gao Yigong laughed and said: "Master Hong, I am not a three-year-old child, don't use fame and fortune to lure you, you should withdraw the siege of the Zhangjiazhai, and everyone's well water will not violate the river water."

Hong Chengchou said: "I got a secret report from Fugu that Zhangjiazhai had a secret relationship with Fugu rogues. I hope Gaoqianhu will not be involved in it."

Gao Yigong said: "Hong Chengchou, Zhangjiazhai and the fugu bandits are deadly enemies. Everyone in Shaanxi officials and people know that you are trying to inflict a crime. There is no excuse for it. If you must say that Zhangjiazhai is connected, then It’s my Gao’s army village, and Ben Qianhu is the son-in-law of Zhang’s village, if Hong Chengchou wants to move Zhang’s village, you can come here.”

Hong Chengchou was called by Gao Yigong's name directly. The anger in Hong Chengchou's heart can be imagined, but Hong Chengchou also heard from Gao Yigong's tone that the Gao family army was ready to fight against the official army, which made Hong Chengchou very headache. There is no unity of opinion on my side.

When Du Wenhuan, You Shilu, Ai Wannian, Chen Hongfan and other generals learned that they had failed to squeeze Gao's army, at the military meeting last night, Ai Wannian, Chen Hongfan and others had explained to Gao's army that they collectively asked Hong Chengchou for orders and did not want to be with Gao's army. The reason why the Gao family's army fought against each other was very simple, that is, the Gao's army's firearms were indestructible.

The stubborn Hong Chengchou did not listen to the advice of generals such as Ai Wannian and Chen Hongfan. Although Du Wenhuan, the commander-in-chief of Yansui and You Shilu, the commander-in-chief of Yansui East Road, did not oppose the attack on the Gao family army, they did not understand Hong Chengchou's anti-Gao family army. The Gao family's army didn't care much about fighting, which is why Hong Chengchou was willing to talk long and hard when he saw Gao Yigong today.

Hong Chengchou was very embarrassed by Gao Yigong's words: "Gao Qianhu, Gao's military village is a soldier of the imperial court, so please return to Mizhi territory. I will definitely handle the Zhangjiazhai banditry fairly."

Wang Ping on the side couldn't help but said: "Hong Chengchou, you just want revenge from Hangzhou City, why do you have to be so hypocritical, just let the horse come over."

Hong Chengchou asked, "I don't know what to call this general."

Wang Ping glared at each other and did not answer, but Gao Yigong said, "This is General Wang Ping from my Gao family's army camp."

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou asked, "Could it be General Wang Ping, one of the two generals Wang Tao who sat down with General Polu in the past?"

Wang Ping smiled coldly: "Hong Chengchou, maybe you have a younger sister who wants to seek relatives."

Hong Chengchou didn't get angry and said with a smile: "General Wang, as long as you are willing to submit to the imperial court, I don't have any sisters to agree with me, but there are quite a few cousins ​​and nieces."

Wang Ping scolded: "Shameless, this general wants to eradicate traitors for Ming Dynasty."

Hong Chengchou said: "General Wang, I hope you will return to the sea of ​​bitterness when you get lost."

Wang Ping yelled: "One meritorious service, don't grind your teeth with him. Today's morale of our army is high and it's time for a battle. Let's do it."
