After deciding the victory, there is no need to talk about it, clean the battlefield, capture the prisoners... and the most important thing is to find the gangsters' materials, especially the kind of grain and the like.
However, it has to be said that the gangsters are not rich in wealth, or that they are originally locust-like things. They do not produce, but flee there, plunder wherever they are, and implement the Sanguang policy.
So after I entered Luoji Town, I didn't find much money.
But even so, Yang Shanlu finally estimated that the grain and rice he found would be enough for the entire army to eat for three days. Although there are not many things, the grain is precious at the moment. This is also good...
Then Yang Shanlu led the victorious army and returned to the camp headquarters.
After returning to the camp, the entire camp was a sensation, and even Lu Xiangsheng greeted him personally... The slashing giant left the gold king He Jin, and the 20,000 gangsters were wiped out. This is the real victory!
When Yang Shanlu saw Lu Xiangsheng, he immediately reported to him: "Enlighten the governor, you will not be insulted, and the left gold king He Jin will be killed, and 20,000 gangsters will be captured!"
"Good, good!" Not to mention that Lu Xiangsheng was very happy when he heard it, even the generals who followed out to greet them were shocked after they confirmed the news!
To be honest, although this was the first battle of the Xuanjia Army, because of the unusual performance along the way, they had already guessed that the army of this guard station might have an extraordinary combat power... But they never expected that the combat power would be so extraordinary. !
You know that it took no more than an hour from the battle to the return, right? 20,000 rogues have already been eliminated? You know, even with 20,000 pigs, this is not enough time, but what about now
Even in the face of this fact, if they had only paid much attention to Yang Shanlu before, now they are truly in awe...
After all, everyone understands that it is absolutely impossible for them to get such a big result if they go to battle in person! In other words, Yang Shanlu's combat power has already led the entire army!
It was Yang Guozhu, a veteran who had a frank heart. He didn't think so much. He just saw the rising stars and said with great joy: "Haha, it really is a young hero from ancient times! Yang Shoubei is so brave, it is my great fortune. what!"
Including Xuanfu Town's ginseng general Zhang Yan, whose status is much higher than that of Yang Shanlu, he also made up his mind. This Xuanjia army is so powerful, it seems that when fighting in the future, it is still necessary to stay close!
"Don't dare! It's not a spring to stand alone! A hundred flowers bloom in the spring!" But Yang Shanlu has a very humble attitude.
Of course, he is also very satisfied with this effect, in fact, he just wants to play this power! Only in this way can we gain more initiative in the following wars!
Seeing this situation, Lu Xiangsheng, as the military commander, felt even more joyful. He was already overjoyed and said: "This superintendent will let people draft documents, and the flying horse will report victory to the capital!" Compared with King Qin, this is the real victory!
Even Lu Xiangsheng looked in the direction of the capital of the north, and his heart was full of excitement... After the emperor learned of this great victory, what should he be happy like...
After all, he knew very well that in this battle of the Central Plains, Daming almost drew out all the mobile forces that could be deployed for a decisive battle! The emperor cares almost every day! But now...
And when I heard Lu Xiangsheng say this, Liu Zaichao, the supervisory army, was very cooperative this time. After the verification was correct, he first gave Yang Shanlu a credit, and together with Lu Xiangsheng, he jointly reported the victory to the Peking Master Pegasus!
When the good news reached the capital, the capital was boiling, and Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed and immediately awarded the imperial commendation. Even Yang Sichang, the father of Yang Shanlu, also got the prize and was praised by Chongzhen...
This made Yang Sichang, who is a minister of the Ministry of War, happily went home to have a banquet for three days to celebrate!
Of course, it will take a long time for the imperial decree to be rewarded. The current situation is also the focus of the more than 10,000 prisoners.
However, with the previous good examples, it can be easily transported to Hainan and placed in place. This is compared with the previous killing but not being able to kill. (If you kill too much, it is easier to be impeached by the supervisory official and indiscriminate killing innocents). , It's really refreshing to deal with...
In addition, the Xuanjia Army has seized a lot this time. Although there is not much food and rice, it is enough for the entire army to eat for a few days. Therefore, the morale of the entire Central Plains camp is high!
As the military commander, Lu Xiangsheng was even more happy when he saw him. At this moment, he looked around at the generals and said: "Everyone, generals, after this battle in the Central Plains, my momentum has risen again! And then it is not far from Anqing. Hope you all continue to work hard!"
"Observe your orders!" Many generals responded in unison.
So there is no need to say any more. With this great victory, the 40,000 army is accelerating towards Anqing!
We must know that there is the main force of the Central Plains gangsters... The gangsters headed by Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, etc., have two or three hundred thousand gangsters under their jurisdiction! At that time, there will be a real battle to determine the fate of the Central Plains!
Anqing City, this is a famous city through the ages, known as the throat of the Yangtze River for thousands of miles, and the reputation of Wu and Chu as the first state in Xinjiang.
But at this moment, there are already densely packed gangster camps outside the city! Anqing City occupies an area of 20 miles, but now, the big camps of gangsters have surrounded Anqing City as a whole, which shows its momentum!
And in the center of its core, there is a very tall big tent, and then here from time to time the leader of the bandits wearing a felt hat enters and exits, which is obviously a command center.
I saw in the big tent, a theme was placed high, and a big man was sitting on it! This big man wore a red felt hat and a pair of big copper bell-like eyes on a yellow face. Fierce light flashed from time to time, and his expression was full of jealousy.
And this person was the famous gang leader in the late Ming dynasty... Eight Great King Zhang Xianzhong!
On the left and right sides of him are his'civilian military generals', and the chief on the left is his military adviser Xu Yixian.
This person has a lot of strategies, which Zhang Xianzhong valued very much. The next leader was Pan Duao, a division of the Second Army. The military clerks and announcements were all done by this person, and he was quite effective in doing things.
On the right side sits a group of generals under Zhang Xianzhong, such as Bai Wenxuan, Liu Jinzhong, and Sanya Zi Wang Xingguo.
In addition, there are four young generals, namely Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, Li Dingguo, and Ainengqi. These four are the four great sons of Zhang Xianzhong, and they will be called the "four generals" in the future.
Among them, Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, in particular, have gained a great reputation in the future, so Zhang Xianzhong's command can be described as a wealth of talents.
But at this time, Zhang Xianzhong's face was very ugly, because in front of him, he was kneeling in front of him with a bloodied horse army, and this person escaped from the remnant of Zuo Jin Wang He Jin.
In fact, Zuo Jin Wang He Jin was ordered by Zhang Xianzhong to stand out and garrison in Luoji Town near Anqing, so now, after the master is gone, he is in a hurry to report!
"You said King Zuo Jin has been destroyed? This time the invading officer and army are very powerful?" Zhang Xianzhong frowned and asked, and he was full of Shandi accents when he spoke.
"That's right—" the Ma Jun quickly replied: "Moreover, the officers and army who came this time are very evil. The group of officers and army who fought with my great king is about five or six thousand people, but their strength is very powerful!
My prince’s 20,000 horses were beaten in less than half an hour! Even our horse army was in an ambush in the end, and only a dozen riders escaped in the end! "
"There is still such an officer and army?" Zhang Xianzhong's face was even more serious. You must know that Zuo Jin Wang He Jin is also an old predecessor among the robbers. For many years, Zhang Xianzhong still knows his strength.
Although it was a little worse than him, it was not much worse, but now, it was destroyed so quickly
At this time, Xu Yixian, the military commander on the left, asked in a deep voice: "This Ming army is so powerful, can you see their banner clearly?"
The horse army quickly said: "The villain of their banner can see it clearly, but it is a very weird blue-bottomed flag. In addition, I heard what they call the Xuanjia army!"
"Xuanjia Army?" Xu Yixian frowned when he heard it. As Zhang Xianzhong's military adviser, he knew a lot about this. He knew that a very powerful army had risen in the Ming army, called the Xuanjia Army.
However, I heard that this army is only the army of the border town. They are raging in the Central Plains, and everyone is still in peace, but now...
He just said to Zhang Xianzhong: "Great King, this Xuanjia army is very powerful. I heard that even the Tartars outside the customs have suffered a loss in their hands. Our rebels have to guard against it!"
Zhang Xianzhong nodded after hearing Xu Yixian's suggestion. He still values Xu Yixian's suggestion. Since this is the case, he pondered for a while and said, "Go and invite Master Cao, I'm going to discuss the matter with him in person!"
The Lord Cao in Zhang Xianzhong's mouth is another leader among the robbers... the living Cao Cao Luo Rucai.
Among the thirteen coalition forces at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were thirteen gangsters who started in northern Shaanxi and western Shanxi. Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong were the leaders of the same family, and their status was equal.
In the court's essays, these two were also referred to as the Second Thieves Xiancao.
Moreover, Luo Rucai was cunning and conspiracy. This time the two armies were fighting together, so Zhang Xianzhong felt that this matter should be discussed with him.
Luo Rucai's camp was not far from him, and after a while, Luo Rucai arrived.
Unlike Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai dressed like a wealthy businessman, with two rat whiskers, and a pair of rat eyes that are even more flexible. At first glance, he looks like a man of scheming.
However, unlike Zhang Xianzhong's stern face, Luo Rucai, who had already arrived, had a relaxed face, and there was even a red lip print on his face, apparently just coming from a gentle village.
Zhang Xianzhong was originally in a heavy mood, but when he saw Luo Rucai's painting, he also felt a little more relaxed. He just smiled and said, "Master Cao is true temperament!"
When Luo Ru listened, he just laughed, he was not ashamed, but rather proud.
This is also a true portrayal of Luo Rucai. Luo Rucai is not only cunning, but also greedy for beauty. When he sees beauty, he is put into the account.
In the original history, it was Yang Sichang's 100,000 army that was besieged and suppressed, and the many beauties collected were not willing to discard them! But this time when he was going south to Anqing, there were groups of beautiful women in his account, all of them dressed up to make fun of him.
And he is different from Zhang Xianzhong's "great ambition". This person was originally a peasant, so now he is quite satisfied with the status of tens of thousands of people. Naturally, he is drunk now, and he is happy every day.
But he knew that since Zhang Xianzhong called him over, there must be important discussions, that is to say, he asked sternly: "Jingxuan, (Zhang Xianzhong's word for Jingxuan) What can you do with me?"
"Master Cao, it's really something, it's still a trouble!" Then Zhang Xianzhong told him about the destruction of Zuo Jin Wang He Jin this time.
But after Luo Ru just listened, he laughed and didn't care about it: "Jing Xuan, you said that there is a strong Ming army, with only five or six thousand people, so you won the Zuo Jin Wang He Jin? In addition, this time the whole crime The officers and soldiers, the momentum is not small, there are forty thousand people?"
"That's right—" Zhang Xianzhong just nodded.
When Luo Rucai heard this, he laughed: "Jing Xuan, the officers and soldiers who came this time are indeed very powerful, but what about it
No matter how powerful he is, there are only 40,000 horses in total! But how about the coalition of you and me
I have 80,000 Erlang under my hand! And Jingxuan has more people, at least two hundred thousand! With so many people, 300,000 to 40,000, we can pile him to death! "
"Even if we take a step back and say that these 40,000 Ming troops are powerful, we can't beat them, so what? As long as we keep our core elite (the horse army) and then move to another place, we will not pull up a team anytime and anywhere. Something
Although the government has implemented some kind of immigration plan, it is more difficult to recruit refugees than before, but because the whole world is so big, are you afraid that you won't be able to recruit people? "
"It makes sense!" Zhang Xianzhong nodded after hearing it, feeling that it made sense, after all, they are not officers, they are rebels...
Fight if you can, or slip if you can't! After all, the Ming army in the whole world is not so strong! So what is there to be afraid of
But because of this, he still has another worry, because the demise of the Zuo Jin King He Jin has touched him a lot, knowing that the officer army (Xuan Jia Army) who came this time is very cunning and good at ambushing, thus causing Zuo Jin King The core Ma Jun failed to escape!
Not to mention that there are a total of 40,000 officers and soldiers, and there must be a lot of cavalry among them. If you can’t escape by then...
So he told Luo Ru again about this worry, and after Luo Ru listened, he laughed, "Do you have a map here, Jingxuan?"
"Of course it is—" Zhang Xianzhong hurriedly asked people to bring a map, which was drawn by his subordinates' sentry, and recorded the topography of fifty miles around Anqing.
After Luo Rucai took the map, he shook his head slightly, which was much worse than what he drew, but now, as long as he can explain the matter.
Then Luo Rucai pointed out with his hand: "Look at Jingxuan, Anqing is a place with open terrain and convenient transportation. There are four or five retreat routes! So we only need to prepare as soon as possible. How to stop us!
And let alone, my son Lang found a secret road in the buried hill west of Anqing (called Tianzhu Mountain in later generations).
Although this is only a mountain path, it is not as spacious as those official roads, but because it is very hidden, the officers and soldiers must not know it!
If we want to turn in at that time and walk down this secret road, how can the officers and soldiers block us? "
"High! Really high!"
After Luo Ru finished speaking, Zhang Xianzhong was already very admired. He was indeed a living Cao Cao. He was indeed a scheming man. Unexpectedly, he was defeated before he could win! This war hasn't started yet, the escape route is ready!
Including Li Dingguo and others under him, they are also quite impressed. Although this man is greedy for money and lust, he has his own unique merit in this regard!
And after such a discussion, Zhang Xianzhong was still very happy until Luo Ru left... In this way, no matter what the final battle situation is, he can be safe and worry-free!
But when he was rejoicing, a man who looked like a gang leader came outside the big tent.
ps is in a bad mood today, because there is a possibility of becoming blind! The right eye is a little uncomfortable these days, I went to the hospital for an examination and said it looked like glaucoma! Needless to say what is glaucoma, it cannot be cured and will eventually become blind! Ah, go to the follow-up visit today, I hope not, please bless me... (End of this chapter)
