When Zhu Cihong settled in Dongming County, he was about to fight with the Red Lady and Li Yan's department. Outside Kaifeng City, Zhuxian Town is becoming more and more lively.

There are Ding Qirui, the governor of Henan, Huguang, Sichuan and other places, and Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding. Under the command of the two commanders, there are also Zuo Liangyu, Hu Dawei, Fang Guoan, Yang Dezheng and other commanders. The total number of soldiers and soldiers of the imperial court gathered here is already 180,000, and it seems that they have already set up a formation, and they are about to fight with the army known as one million soldiers and horses.

A big fight is obviously the idea of the superintendent Ding Qirui.

Not long ago, Ding Qirui received another strict order from Emperor Chongzhen, and the sharp wording made others shudder when they heard it.

But this alone does not seem to make Ding Qirui make up his mind.

Ding Qirui, the strict order of the court, is not the first to recover, but as long as the Central Plains battle is not defeated, or not won, the court still needs an old and serious commander to quell the chaos.

What really surprised Ding Qirui was King Zhou's proximity.

For this prince who completely disregarded the suspicion of the court, Ding Qirui was particularly jealous. At this moment, although there are still some savings in the treasury of the Henan Provincial Government, the real rewards are all taken out by King Zhou from his own palace. With this huge amount of money, the thieves were able to defeat the morale of the officers and troops one by one in several sieges.

Therefore, whether it is out of respect for the prince or the care of the money bag, Ding Qirui has to be concerned about the attitude of King Zhou.

But it's just a concern.

Thoroughly impressed ...... It was a newspaper brought by King Zhou......

The information on it is very simple, it is the appointment and dismissal of court personnel published in the Di Bao on a daily basis.

On the newspaper, Ding Qirui saw a familiar word.

"The Holy Decree Hou Sui is the squire of the military department, and he enters the Henan army with 200,000 taels of silver."

Seeing these two words, Ding Qirui became nervous.

His worst fears happened. Ding Qirui is not irreplaceable, as the commander of the Central Plains war, the successive defeats and delays finally made Chongzhen's disappointment with Ding Qirui reach its peak.

Hou Sui, this benefactor of Zuo Liangyu, was released from prison, which is obviously showing something. Now, Hou Sui is just a soldier in the army. But who would believe that Hou Sui would always be just a soldier in the army?

Thinking of this, Ding Qirui no longer hesitated, and began to frequently order the dispatch of generals, reversing the previous passive slackness.

But when Ding Qirui finally left Kaifeng City with the pacesetter battalion......

At this moment, the intrusive army has occupied a higher place in the southwest of Zhuxian Town, and will completely occupy the favorable terrain.

This move has obviously cut off the way for the officers and troops to withdraw south.

Zhu Xianzhen, Governor's Mansion.

Inside the house, drums sounded, and the crowd gathered.

Ding Qirui sat on the main seat, and everyone gathered in the hall.

It's just that the atmosphere of this military meeting is obviously not very good. Ding Qirui didn't speak, his expression was not good, and everyone in the room was silent, and the atmosphere was quite gloomy for a while.

At the top of the left column in the hall sat Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, looking at the scene in front of him, Yang Wenyue frowned for a long time, and felt helpless in his heart.

For Ding Qirui, the coach, Yang Wenyue actually doesn't look down on him too much. However, the imperial court was eager and repeatedly ordered the rescue of Kaifeng, but Yang Wenyue, who had just been reinstated and was greatly injured, was unable to disobey the imperial court's orders.

After the defeat of Xiangcheng in the first battle, Yang Wenyue was dismissed from his post and convicted, although Yang Wenyue galloped to rescue Yang Wenyue when Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng and successfully reinstated Yang Wenyue, but then the defeat of Xiangcheng greatly damaged Yang Wenyue's newly recovered vitality. Now, Yang Wenyue can only take the main general Hu Dawei to garrison in Runing, Henan, and then in Xiping, Xincai and other places to slowly recover his vitality.

At this moment, Kaifeng, the capital of Henan, was besieged, and under the order of the imperial court, Yang Wenyue had to take Hu Dawei and collect the remaining soldiers to Kaifeng to relieve the siege. As for how many of the Baoding soldiers were able to fight, Yang Wenyue didn't want to mention it, let alone fight at will, wasting the only remaining vitality.

It's just that as soon as he recalled the tendency of the military council Ding Qirui in the past few days, Yang Wenyue's heart involuntarily began to sink. Yang Wenyue was not afraid of war, but in the joint operations of the officers and the army, there were too many difficulties from outside the enemy.

Thinking of this, Yang Wenyue looked at Zuo Liangyu opposite.

The first to sit on the right is Zuo Liangyu. I saw him sitting on the chair, his expression relaxed, his body lying on the chair freely, his eyes burning, with a little indifferent smile on his face, this handsome-looking, good-looking general can be said to be the first general of all armies today. At this point, Yang Wenyue's generals Hu Dawei are all at a disadvantage.

But for this so-called general who hung the seal of the thief general, Yang Wenyue was full of displeasure. At the beginning of this year, Yang Wenyue rushed to Kaifeng to relieve the siege, and finally returned to the post of governor of Baoding. At that time, Zuo Liangyu was also brave and captured Linying, which was occupied by the breaking army.

And then...... Zuo Liangyu slaughtered Linying! Slaughtered! Slaughtered!

After slaughtering the entire city of Linying, Zuo Liangyu seemed to be worried about the revenge of the army, and seemed to be worried about the impeachment of the officials and people of Henan, so he ran to Yuncheng again. As a result, it was clear that Zuo Liangyu was still surrounded by Li Zicheng. So, this attracted Wang Qiaonian's rescue, and finally killed Wang Qiaonian alive, causing Yang Wenyue, who was also rescued, to be defeated again, and his vitality that was finally recovered was greatly damaged.

Now, this Zuo Liangyu has become the pillar of the whole army, the so-called first general in the army!

The military discussion has begun, and Ding Qirui is looking forward to which general will have the courage to speak and take the initiative to get up. However, what disappointed Ding Qirui was that what he gave back was only a deathly silence.

Thinking of this, Ding Qirui had no choice but to focus on Yang Wenyue.

I only heard Ding Qirui clear his throat, and said with a smile: "Today's battle, how do you think you want to fight?" ”

Yang Wenyue smiled, Ding Qirui's words obviously hid some edges, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he set the tone of the main battle.

Thinking slightly in his heart, he only heard Yang Wenyue say in an official voice with a Sichuan accent: "Supervisor, I Baoding soldiers are guest soldiers, and I am ordered to be stationed in Henan to suppress thieves." In this battle, it was natural that the Baoding soldiers cooperated with the Huguang Henan soldiers to fight. As for how to fight, it naturally depends on how the generals under the command of the Inspector will fight first. ”

After speaking, Yang Wenyue also glanced at Zuo Liangyu with his spare eyes.

As soon as the words went around, the ball was thrown to Ding Qirui again, and the fire burned to Ding Qirui.

Everyone knows that Ding Qirui, the governor, actually doesn't have much control over the affairs of Huguang, just by looking at what happened to him in Huguang. The main general Zuo Liangyu did not listen to military orders, and the local officials and people either hid ships or refused military supplies, all of which explained Ding Qirui's pockets.

After listening to Yang Wenyue's words, Ding Qirui suppressed the fire in his heart, smiled the same, and said: "Our army has many generals, and it is a dignified battle." It's just that in this battle, there is a distinction between the first merit and the first merit. The first merit naturally needs to be discussed after the war, but this first merit is so important, the official still hopes for the brave general. When the time comes, the official will personally draft the text, play His Majesty, and be promoted to a good reward, and he will live up to the army! ”

After speaking, Ding Qirui looked at Zuo Liangyu with a smile on his face.

But Zuo Liangyu just laughed, then shook his head and said: "The thief is in full swing, I won't fight." ”
