Wang Yongqiang bragged that he had nearly 10,000 men, but in fact he only had 5,000 people, of which 1,000 were stationed in Wubao and 1,000 were led by Liu Chengyong to receive grain.

He didn't know how the Ming army crossed the river, but since he crossed the Yellow River, it meant that his brother-in-law Zeng Yuquan and Liu Chengyong's men and horses, the 2,000 people were no longer under his control.

In this way, even if he led the remaining 3,000 people, he would not be able to recapture Fort Wu.

Gao Youcai still had 3,000 men and horses, but he was in Fugu, and it would take a few days to arrive, and it was estimated that the Ming army that crossed the river at that time had already exceeded their ability to deal with it, so Wang Yongqiang decided to do it immediately.

In the early morning of the next day, Gao Youcai was called Daojietang by Wang Yongqiang as soon as he woke up, and Gao Youcai waited for food, so he did not return to Fugu, but stayed in Suide.

"The military gate called me so early, what's the matter? Did you receive food? Gao Youcai stepped into the festival hall and saw Wang Yongqiang sitting in the handsome seat with red eyes, obviously not sleeping.

Gao Youcai came in with a smile on his face, and when he saw Wang Yongqiang, he was slightly stunned, and his face was surprised, "This is the military gate!" ”

Wang Yongqiang followed his gaze, looked down at the Ming Dynasty armor on his body, then raised his head, opened his mouth and said, "Oh, let your sister-in-law find it out last night, but fortunately I didn't lose it." ”

Gao Youcai's face was full of shock, and he came back to his senses with a half-sound, "What happened?" Has the military gate decided to descend? ”

Wang Yongqiang nodded, "Damn, the Ming army has occupied Wubao, and I have no choice but to surrender." Saying that, he looked at Gao Youcai and said: "Youcai, our brothers for many years, I don't force you, you are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty with me, then our brothers will be rich together in the future, work together, if you don't want to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, then you go back to Yulin now, and I won't stop you." Think about it! ”

There was silence in the festival hall, and Gao Youcai couldn't react a little, this situation changed a little quickly, but seeing that Wang Yongqiang pressed the Ming Dynasty armor at the bottom of the box turned out, then he estimated that it was really going to fall.

Gao Youcai licked his lips, he suddenly saw a pair of feet leaking out behind the screen, his heart suddenly sank, and he smiled busily: "Do you still need to ask me about this matter, I am naturally the only one who is the head of the military gate, and the military gate says to surrender, I will naturally descend!" ”

"Hahaha!" Wang Yongqiang stood up with a smile, walked in front of Gao Youcai around the handsome case, grabbed his hand and said, "Good brother! You can rest assured, we can be regarded as raising Suide and Yulin to surrender, providing a foothold for the Ming army in northern Shaanxi, and it will definitely be able to sell for a good price. ”

Gao Youcai smiled unnaturally on his face, since Wang Yongqiang had decided, he had no other choice.

At this moment, a family member hurriedly ran over, "Junmen, that Mr. Hu from Hedong is here again." ”

Wang Yongqiang listened, let go of Gao Youcai, and hurriedly tidied up his Daming clothes, "Please come in!" As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand again, "No, I'll go and greet you personally." ”

Wang Yongqiang immediately walked out quickly, and Gao You saw it, so he had to hurriedly follow.

When the two came to the door, they saw Hu Xiaosheng standing outside the door of the mansion, Wang Yongqiang laughed and greeted him very warmly, "Mr. Hu, I can look forward to you, Wang has been preparing for many days, and he is waiting to serve Daming." ”

Although the Ming army crossed the river from Wubao, the middle reaches of the Yellow River were turbulent, which was not suitable for large-scale river crossing, and the difficulty of transporting materials could transport more than ten ships in one day, which limited the scale of the Ming army's crossing of the river.

A place in northern Shaanxi, thousands of ravines, thousands of people to hide in the ditch, can not be found, after the Ming army entered northern Shaanxi, the supply depends on transportation, if you can not subdue the head snake in northern Shaanxi, it is difficult to gain a foothold in northern Shaanxi.

The Ming army that crossed the river from Wubao was led by the general Li Laiheng, Wang Guangtai was the deputy general, and the governor of Shanxi, Li Jiantai, was the prime minister.

The two generals were both born in the Shun line, Li Laiheng himself is a native of Mizhi, Shaanxi, and his hometown is near Suidezhou, so he is more familiar with the situation in northern Shaanxi.

They were all transferred to Shanxi after the Governor's Office of the Five Armies formulated a plan for attacking gold on five routes, and they had been preparing for a long time.

The Ming army crossed the Yellow River, which meant that there was a gap in the entire defense system of the Jin army, and the surrender of Wang Yongqiang and Gao Youcai, the two local snakes, allowed the Ming army to quickly gain a firm foothold.

At the beginning of October of the eighth year of the reign of the Communist Party, Wang Yongqiang and Gao Youcai suddenly rebelled against Jin and returned to Ming, giving another hammer to the Jin State, which was still anxious about Guanzhong affairs, and the current situation faced by the Jin State immediately worsened.

Wang Yongqiang and Gao You were the emperors of northern Shaanxi, and as soon as they rebelled, Suidezhou and Yulin Prefecture, several counties, surrendered almost at the same time.

The secret spy that Jin Guo planted beside Wang Yongqiang immediately sent an alarm to Yan'an.

There were many military leaders in the Jin Kingdom, and they controlled the military and local finances, and the Jin Imperial Court was not very at ease with them, so in addition to sending their sons to Chang'an to learn martial arts, in essence, as hostages, they also sent a lot of fine works to monitor their movements.

After the Ming army crossed the river from Wubao and Wang Yongqiang and Gao Youcai surrendered, the news soon spread to Yan'an Mansion in the south.

Yan'an is the gateway to the north of Chang'an, an important town directly under the jurisdiction of the Jin court, guarded by Dong Zongsheng, the governor of Suiyan, and Zhao Liangdong, the governor of Suiyan, and there are 12,000 elite soldiers directly under the Jin State.

The domestic pattern of the Jin State is very similar to a feudal system, the Jin court sits on the rich Guanzhong Plain and key places, and warlords like Wu Sangui, Tang Tong, and Wang Yongqiang defend the central government like princes on the periphery.

However, there are still some differences between these warlords and the princes, and the control of the Jin State over them is quite strong.

If the Ming army reached Yan'an, it would mean that the outer defense line of the Jin State had been broken through, and the Ming army directly threatened the center of the Jin State.

After the chaos in Guanzhong, Yan'an was also affected, but because Jinguo's corn and sweet potatoes were first planted in Yan'an, cotton planting did not have a great impact on Yan'an, on the contrary, Yan'an also transported a lot of grain to Chang'an this time.

On this day, Governor Dong Zongsheng was originally inspecting outside, and asked the counties of Yan'an to closely monitor the grain trade, and the people could only buy it in a certain amount, and once they found a large sale, they would immediately lock it up and take it to prison.

He was only halfway through his inspection when he heard the news that the Ming army had crossed the river from Wubao, which surprised him and hurried back to Yan'an City.

In the city of Yan'an, the governor of Suiyan, Dong Zongsheng stood in front of the map worriedly, deeply worried about the crossing of the Yellow River by the Ming army and the rebellion of Wang Yongqiang and Gao Youcai.

The main force of the Jin army is facing the Ming army on the front line of Tongguan and Pujin, where there are fortifications built by the Jin State at a great cost, and it is difficult for the Ming army to break through, but the Ming army is killed from northern Shaanxi, and the Jin army is not prepared.

At this time, a soldier reported at the door, "Qiqi Futai, Zhao Junmen is here." ”

Dong Zongsheng nodded, "Please let him in!" ”

Zhao Liangdong also got the news, walked into Dong Zongsheng's study quickly, and asked urgently: "Suide has an accident, has Futai reported to the imperial court?" ”

"For such a big matter, Benfu has already sent a quick horse to report to Chang'an, and the military gate doesn't need to worry about this."

Zhao Liangdong listened, relieved, and also walked to the map, "That's fine, I just hope the imperial court's response can be faster." ”

Dong Zongsheng shook his head, "Guanzhong is in a mess now, Yu Xiang's bailout reform has just begun to be implemented, and the Ming army is pressing the front line of Tongguan, and the imperial court may not be able to support it for a while." ”

Zhao Liangdong was shocked when he heard this, and said in a panic: "What can I do?" If the Ming army is not driven back to the west bank quickly, once the Ming army gains a foothold, or there are too many men and horses crossing the river, the defense system in the pass will be finished. ”

Dong Zongsheng frowned, "The financial resources and troops of the Ming Kingdom are far superior to our dynasty, and our dynasty can resist it, relying on the natural danger of the Yellow River and the mountains of Xiongguan to keep the Ming army out of Guanzhong, and it has a great reliance on geographical advantages." Now that the Ming army is crossing the river from Wubao, if they are allowed to continue to send men and horses to Suide, and then go south to attack Guanzhong, it will be difficult for the imperial court to stop them. ”

Saying that, Dong Zongsheng turned his head to look at Zhao Liangdong, "It's not okay to wait like this, let's wait one more day, and there will be more Ming troops crossing the river." If this continues, the situation in northern Shaanxi will be reversed, and we must recapture Fort Wu at all costs and prevent the Ming army from continuing to cross the river. ”

If they did not recapture Fort Wu as soon as possible, let the Ming army continue to cross the river, and let the Ming army continue to transport military grain to the west bank, then the Ming army entering northern Shaanxi would become stronger and stronger, and finally gain a firm foothold in northern Shaanxi, to the point that the Jin army could not drive them back to the east of the river.

Therefore, it was necessary to recapture Wubao as soon as possible, and take advantage of the fact that there were not many Ming troops entering northern Shaanxi, cut off their connection with Hedong, and wipe them out in Suide.

Zhao Liangdong also had this idea, and he also understood what Dong Zongsheng meant, he walked a few steps in front of the map with his hand, suddenly stopped, gritted his teeth and said: "Since I am the Admiral of Suiyan, then the task of recapturing Fort Wu and preventing the Ming army from continuing to cross the river is none other than me!" ”

"Okay, there are 12,000 people in the city, you can take 10,000 and leave 2,000 for me." Dong Zongsheng immediately said, "As soon as the imperial court reinforcements arrive, I will immediately bring troops to meet them." ”

Zhao Liangdong nodded, but then said: "Wang Yongqiang's betrayal of Dajin, if I go to attack Wubao, that guy is very likely to attack Yan'an in the south, can the two thousand men and horses in Futai hold Yan'an?" ”

Dong Shengxue waved his hand, "In comparison, I'm still more worried about you." The Ming army's operation has obviously been planned for a long time, from the crisis in Guanzhong to the rebellion against Wang Yongqiang, it can be said that one ring after another, since they have crossed the river, they must have been prepared, and even set up an ambush. If you can enter, you can enter, if you can't enter, just wait for the imperial court reinforcements to come, and you must not be careless to underestimate the enemy. As for Yan'an, you don't have to worry, I will immediately gather the troops to defend the city. ”

There are more than 10,000 households in Yan'an Prefecture, and the troops can't fight in the field, so the defense of the city should be barely used.

"In that case, then I'll immediately transfer my troops and set off!" Zhao Liangdong listened, and then clenched his fists, "Futai, don't worry, I will be cautious." ”
