Chapter 146 Eight King's Touch

Huang Degong's defeat and Cao Wenyao's death in action, the two news almost arrived in Xiangyang one after another. After hearing this, Xiong Wencan suddenly buzzed and almost fell to the ground with a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot. After a while, he stabilized his mind and sat in a big chair and was confused.

Huang Degong is a general that he values very much. During this period, he has worked well in the western Anhui area. He has just broken the left fifth battalion of the revolution in Xincai University. The combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers of the Beijing battalion under his command is quite considerable. At the same time, he added the officers and soldiers of Runing Prefecture and Gwangju, with more than 10,000 troops and high morale. He didn't think it was only in the first battle. Come on, he was defeated and lost. Ten thousand troops said no, but it was gone. Although Huang Degong reported the war, this defeat was also too miserable!

What on earth is this Xing Tianjun made of, and why is it so difficult to deal with? If they don't sing, they will be amazing. In just one month, they first defeated Mianchi and Ruzhou, then captured Lushan and Baofeng, and now they have defeated the officers and soldiers twice in Mianchi and Baofeng.

Although Huang Degong was defeated or at least saved his life, Cao Wenyao lost his life in Mianchi County. In this way, who else can deal with this thief army?

Thinking about this matter, Xiong Wencan felt a chill on his back. He was ordered to be the governor of the five provinces. There was not a day of scenery, and he was as tired as a donkey every day. He kept running around at such an old age, commanding these exiles everywhere to suppress these idated troops. Now not only can he stabilize the situation in Henan, on the contrary Xing Tianjun became bigger and bigger. If it goes on like this, once the emperor is angry, the board will fall down, and he will catch it with his buttocks.

Although Chongzhen didn't dare to kill the generals, he was not soft at all when he killed these civilian officials. Thinking that Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Chonghuan and Yang He were not ministers similar to him at the beginning, they were still beheaded by Chongzhen. Yuan Chonghuan was even killed by Ling Chiyu City. If he was a little careless, this person His head is also likely to be unprepared. At this moment, he will no longer have any illusions. If he can't take down this Xiao Tianjian, then his head is not far from moving.

Considering this, Xiong Wencan's fire also came up. He immediately attracted his men and asked, "What is Zhang Xianzhong, the thief chief, going to do?" Is it possible that he doesn't want to pet him?

His staff quickly replied, "Your Excellency is angry. Now that Zhang Xianzhong is at the end of the road. In addition to surrender, what else can he do? As long as he goes to Gucheng again, it is expected that Zhang Xianzhong will surrender immediately. Now that Liu Guoneng has surrendered, and the adult treats him so kindly, how can Zhang Xianzhong not surrender? What about it?"

Xiong Wencan can't wait any longer. Now all he can use is Zuo Liangyu, Feng Ju, Miao Youcai and other officers and soldiers. If he can't solve Zhang Xianzhong, he can't deal with Xiao Tianjian at all.

And for the appeasement, it is not that Xiong Wencan is stupid, but that he has indeed benefited in this regard. When he was in Fujian, it was precisely because of the surrender of Zheng Zhilong that he took the position of governor of Liangguang. At present, in his opinion, if he wants to solve these bandits, he still needs to rely on caressing.

Although Zhang Xianzhong is frustrated now, if it is hard, it is really possible for Zhang Xianzhong to bite back. Once Zhang Xianzhong is allowed to run away again, he can quickly recover with Zhang Xianzhong's reputation at any time, so now Xiong Wencan is very eager to force. Zhang Xianzhong surrendered.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong did hear the news of Liu Guoneng's surrender. Because he could not cross the river to meet Xiao Tianjian, he was trapped in the area of Gucheng. There was a serious shortage of food and indeed had the idea of surrender. The reason why he had to delay for a while was that he wanted to get some benefits, so he did not lead his troops during this period. No matter how much the officers and soldiers fought, they took out a lot of money and began to send people to find ways to bribe everywhere. He didn't want anything else. Even if he surrendered, he didn't want to be cleaned up by the government like this. Now he also saw that there were soldiers in the world, so he spoke hard, so he thought that even if he surrendered, he could not be split up. He wanted to protect The generals at his hand should settle down and take a look at the limelight first.

Anyway, for Zhang Xianzhong, the matter of surrender is a familiar road. As long as he sees that the situation is not good, he sacrifices the magic weapon of surrender. Every time, he can get through the crisis safely. As long as he sees the opportunity, it is convenient for him to lead his troops to fight back, so there is no difficulty for him to surrender, let alone a mental barrier. That's the way.

Seeing that the sky began to get cold, Zhang Xianzhong, who was now trapped in Gucheng, and his soldiers would be short of food and clothing. Life was getting more and more difficult. When Xiong Wencan's men came again, Zhang Xianzhong finally couldn't hold on. He immediately agreed to surrender to the court and accept Xiong Wencan's cares.

At this time, Xiong Wencan turned his worries into joy and quickly wrote to the court to report the good news. At the same time, he pleaded guilty for Zhang Xianzhong and asked Chongzhen to exempt Zhang Xianzhong from his guilt.

However, Yang Sichang did not agree with his suggestion this time. He strongly urged Xiong Wencan to urge Zhang Xianzhong to leave Gucheng first and lead his troops to attack the old and return to their 5th Battalion of the Revolution. If he defeats the 5th Battalion of the Left, he could be exempted from his guilt and allowed to be appeased.

However, Chongzhen did not adopt Yang Sichang's suggestion this time. In Chongzhen's opinion, it's best for Zhang Xianzhong to surrender now, so don't make trouble again. Now Xing Tianjun is making trouble in Henan. The fifth battalion of the left of Gezuo entered Henan again and went to the area of Guide and Kaifeng. If you don't hurry to kill him quickly. Let's solve it. Once we force Zhang Xianzhong to attack them, not only can we force Zhang Xianzhong to surrender, but also force Zhang Xianzhong to turn against it, it will be a big deal.

In fact, Chongzhen now also understands a little about the situation of Daming. The thief army has been suppressing it for so many years. The more it is, the more people who can fight among the officers and soldiers are less and less. Moreover, the current generals have also begun to have some self-respect for themselves. They don't listen to it. If we don't solve this problem as soon as possible, plus The Jiannu outside has been attacking and plundering south like stars every year, and his Ming Dynasty may collapse at some point.

Especially after learning the news of Huang Degong and Cao Wenyao's defeat, Chongzhen is now thinking about letting Xiong Wencan and the Central Plains troops free up their hands to quickly deal with Xing Tianjun and solve the big problem of Xing Tianjun. Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong asked for him to surrender. Yang Sichang did so. He is afraid that if he forces Zhang Xianzhong to caress him again, it will be a big trouble.

Therefore, under the direct intervention of Chongzhen, he finally agreed with Xiong Wencan to appease Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhang Xianzhong finally accepted the appeasement in Gucheng at the end of ten years of Chongzhen and announced his official surrender to the court.

In order to show his sincerity, Zhang Xianzhong also asked Xiong Wencan to send someone to inspect his soldiers and horses, and disbanded 15,000 people on the spot, leaving only 10,000 elite soldiers to stay in Gucheng.

This finally made Xiong Wencan breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, in the past two months, in Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting finally achieved results. After Li Zicheng entered Sichuan, he was stubbornly blocked by Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers because of the unsmooth attack, which made him unable to lead the crowd to eat in Sichuan. So again, he came out of Sichuan from Sichuan and returned to Shaanxi. Li Zicheng led his troops to Qinzhou first. As a result, he was blocked by Cao Bianjiao, a general of Sun Chuanting. Li Zicheng was defeated and fled. He turned his head and ran back to martial arts. As a result, he was intercepted by Zuo Guangxian's troops. He was defeated and fled again and fled to Shangluo. If he didn't reach Shangluo, he was He Ren. Long stopped again and fought for a good fight. Li Zicheng was defeated again and finally led thousands of troops to escape into the Shangluo Mountain.

Even the Gezuo Fifth Battalion, which ran to the area of Guidefu and Kaifeng Mansion, after entering November, because of the long-standing military disaster in this area, it had already been a hundred miles of red land and was extremely short of food. Although the Fifth Camp of the Leather Zuo tried to fight against Kaifeng, because of the strong city of Kaifeng, there were many cannons, and the result was defeated. Then he went to fight Guidefu and suffered another defeat. Liu Zeqing, the deputy general of Shandong, took advantage of the situation to threaten the fifth camp of the revolution, forcing the fifth battalion of the revolution after the grain was cut off, to jump back to the Jiangbei area again. It seemed that after the end of the year, the situation of suppressing up made many people in the government and the opposition see the dawn.

In the past two months, Xiao Tianjian has been very busy. After defeating Huang, he attacked Wuyang County all the way, and then turned around and pointed straight to Junzhou. At the same time, he also sent Liu Yaoben out of Wuyang and went straight to Runing Mansion.

In short, in the past two or three months, Xing Tianjun's offensive in Henan has been very smooth. People in many places are looking forward to the wind. In some places, the government has changed their color when they hear the three words Xing Tianjun. The officers and soldiers know that Xing Tianjun is too powerful, so no one dares to lead troops to find the trouble of Xing Tianjun. If they can avoid the war, they can avoid the war. If you can't avoid it, just throw the guy and surrender.

Therefore, Xing Tianjun's action in Henan was very smooth. On the contrary, Xiao Tianjian was not in a hurry to fight Luoyang, so he put Luoyang there. All day long, Feng Yijun and Fu Wang couldn't guess when Xing Tianjun would come to fight Luoyang, so they were worried about living.

And Feng Yijun's life is really difficult. Luoyang City is not without soldiers. By this time, Luoyang City has gathered 20,000 to 30,000 officers and soldiers. However, as Xiao Tianjian expected, although these 20,000 or 30,000 people have given Luoyang City a sense of security, it has become a big problem to feed them. Everyone in these soldiers Even if it is only two catties of grain a day, it will be 40,000 to 50,000 catties of grain. If it is converted into a stone, it will be hundreds of stone grain. In a month, it will cost more than 10,000 stones of grain. At present, Luoyang, Henan Prefecture, is full of civil unsituency, and it is impossible to raise grain at all. The grain that used to be stored in Henan Province in the city will soon be These officers and soldiers sat down and ate up, and Fuwang, a bastard, was still an iron rooster. In Henan dialect, it was a standard old turtle. He refused to take out grain and money for Feng Yijun to use, which forced Feng Yijun to worry about raising food and salaries all day long, which was exactly what Xiao Tianjian wanted.
