December of the eighth year of Chongzhen.

According to Zheng Xunrui's requirements, the peasants and the common people who participated in the construction of water conservancy facilities can receive a small amount of remuneration, some directly take silver, some receive grain, and some ask for winter wheat seeds.

In November, all the winter wheat was sown, thanks to God, since the autumn rain is sufficient, seeing that the next year's winter wheat can get a bumper harvest, the vast majority of the people in Shaanxi, finally lived a safe year, which is a very low requirements of the people, it is already a great good thing.

Governor's Yamen, wings.

Zheng Xunrui's face was very bad, Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong, Yang He, Hong Xintao, Hong Xingui, Hong Xinyu, Gu Menglin, Cao Chi, Zheng Kaitao, Su Congjin, Su Manzi, Wang Xiaoer and others were all concentrated in the wing.

The table was covered with maps and various symbols.

Xu Wanghua was talking about the situation.

"Lao Hui Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong led the Liukou, after entering the Xiangyang Mansion in Huguang, did not stay too much, towards the Huangzhou Mansion, after they captured Luotian County, the soldiers were divided into three roads, the old Hui Hui led a part of the Liukou, wandering in Luotian Qizhou Guangji and Huangmei area, Li Zicheng led a part of the Liukou, entered the Luzhou Mansion to which Nanzhili belonged, captured Shucheng and Lujiang and other places, and moved in the direction where the Luzhou Mansion was located, Zhang Xianzhong led a part of the Liukou, into the Anqing Mansion to which Nanzhili belonged, Took Susong and Wangjiang and other places, and advanced towards the Anqing Fucheng Movement......"

"The army led by Lord Hong made a mistake in judging the movement of the Liukou, they thought that the Liukou would develop along the southwest direction of Xiangyang Mansion and wait for an opportunity to enter the territory of Sichuan, so they laid heavy troops in the area of Yunyang Mansion and Jingzhou Mansion to prepare to encircle the Liukou, because the Liukou attacked in the direction of Nanzhili, and the movement was fast, and the army led by Lord Hong could not catch up with the Liukou and was always in a passive ......"

"The homeless people in Huguang, because of the rejection of the imperial army, most of them joined the ranks of the rogues, so that the number of rogues under the command of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong reached 150,000, and in terms of numbers, the rogues once again occupied the advantage......"

"Nanzhili was not prepared for the invasion of the Liukou, and led the sudden sneak attack of the Liukou, and Lord Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, is organizing a large army to besiege the Liukou......"

Zheng Xunrui's expression was not good-looking, and everyone's expressions were not much better.

Zheng Jinhong and others really don't understand why the Liukou can always develop and grow in a short period of time, you must know that when they entered Huguang from Henan, there were less than 60,000 Liukou, which can be described as a lost dog, and in just a few months, the Liukou has grown to 150,000 people, Zheng Jiajun and Liukou compared, I really dare not say that they are developing.

After Xu Wanghua finished speaking, he looked up at Zheng Xunrui.

Zheng Xunrui didn't speak for the time being, and looked at Gu Menglin and Cao Chi and others, among his henchmen, Xu Wanghua and Gu Menglin and others undoubtedly had the highest knowledge.

Gu Menglin coughed twice and spoke, although he was only the governor of the Governor's Yamen, from the rank of the eighth rank, among all people, it could be said that he was the lowest rank, but he was valued by Zheng Xunrui.

"My lord, my subordinates think that there is not much hope for the Liukou to enter Nanzhili, if Lord Fan mobilizes the Nanjing Jingying, he can expel the Liukou, but if you want to exterminate the Liukou, there is still a certain degree of difficulty, after all, the Liukou are wandering around, and the speed is very fast......"

After Gu Menglin finished speaking, Zheng Xunrui's face still had no expression.

Cao Chi looked at Zheng Xunrui and Gu Menglin and did not speak.

Zheng Xunrui finally spoke.

"Liukou into Nanzhili, is a very dangerous signal, Nanzhili has been stable for a long time, the army has no fighting spirit at all, even if it is Nanjing Jingying, the combat effectiveness of the sergeants is not strong, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others have been fighting for many years, the Liukou under their command, the combat effectiveness is obviously stronger than the army of Nanzhili, Shucheng Lujiang Susong and Wangjiang and other cities were captured by Liukou, which is the best explanation, it is impossible for Lord Fan to send Nanjing Jingying to encircle and suppress Liukou, if that's the case, Liukou suddenly attacked Nanjing, Master Fan will never die. ”

"Lao Huihui's activities in the area of Huangzhou Mansion are obviously to contain the army of Lord Hong, and I can conclude that Lao Huihui can contain the army under the command of Lord Hong."

"Nanzhili is attacked everywhere, the imperial court will definitely have a huge shock, the army led by Lord Hong, can not deal with the old Huihui with peace of mind, it is inevitable to quickly enter Nanzhili, encircle and suppress Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, if the Liukou attack Fengyang and Nanjing, Lord Hong can not explain."

"Lord Hong has entered Nanzhili, I expect that Liukou will quickly evacuate Nanzhili and return to Huguang, if their three-way army will make peace, then they can consider attacking Huangzhou Mansion or even Xiangyang Mansion City."

"Lord Hong didn't pay enough attention to the Liukou, and he didn't make arrangements and deployments, and in the current situation, he can only be subject to the Liukou, that is to say, it is impossible to form a situation of encirclement after the Liukou."

"The army under the command of Lord Hong, after entering Nanzhili, is also restrained everywhere, Nanzhili is different from Huguang and other places in Henan, Lord Hong himself should also pay attention to it, if the army under his command is not strictly required, there is a matter of plundering the people, it will cause a big turmoil, you must know that Lord Fan is very strong, and he will definitely impeach Lord Hong."

When Zheng Xunrui said this, the room was very quiet, Gu Menglin and Cao Chi looked very focused, they were the first time to participate in such a discussion, the first time they heard Zheng Xunrui's analysis, as for the rest of the people, they had long been used to it.

Xu Wanghua looked at Zheng Xunrui and spoke.

"In such a situation, how do you think you should encircle and suppress the rogues?"

"Since we have reached this point, then we can only take the most stupid way, follow the Liukou pursuit, you can make the governor of Huguang, Lord Lu Xiangsheng, lead a heavy army to pursue Lao Huihui, Lord Hong Chengchou led a part of the army into Nanzhili, and the soldiers were divided into two ways to pursue Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, I can conclude that the focus of the Liukou is not on Nanzhili, their purpose is to attract Lord Hong to enter Nanzhili, and then withdraw and leave, and come back to attack all parts of Huguang."

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, he sighed softly.

Xu Wanghua understood the meaning and spoke.

"The subordinates thought that Lord Hong would not deploy like this, and he must have led the army to enter Nanzhili."

Gu Menglin was a little puzzled, and quickly spoke.

"Your Excellency can write a letter to Lord Hong to inform you of the situation."

Zheng Xunrui looked at Gu Menglin and slowly spoke.

"Lin Shi, when you encounter such a thing, think about it a lot, even if I write a letter to Lord Hong, it will be useless, the safety of Nanjing and Fengyang is much more important than Huguang and other places, it is impossible for Lord Hong to take risks, and once such a deployment is exposed, it will be a great disaster, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others can quickly unite to launch a counter-encirclement and suppression of the army, so it will be troublesome, this needs to be accurately analyzed by Lord Hong, and the deployment and implementation will have an effect."

Gu Menglin's face was a little red, he looked at the map and thought about it, and lowered his head.

"Since the first year of Chongzhen, eight years have passed, the Liukou has not been able to be exterminated, the court has consumed a lot of silver, and the people have also suffered greatly, if this situation can not be solved quickly, wait until the Houjin Tartars of Liaodong launch an attack, that is, they will be attacked on both sides, even if the court has the best strategy, it will not help."

After Zheng Xunrui said these words, he waved his hand and let everyone disperse.

Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong stayed.

"Jin Hong, the soldiers of the Zheng family army are ready to be ready, after this Spring Festival, they will be ready to go out, I estimate that the imperial court will think of Zheng Jiajun, hmph, some people are afraid that Zheng Jiajun has seized the credit for exterminating the Liukou, and they will block it in every possible way, now it's okay, the Liukou is gasping again, if Lord Hong can't exterminate the Liukou in a short time, then the Zheng Jiajun will have a chance."

Zheng Xunrui was not very confident in what he said, which made Xu Wanghua a little surprised, according to his thinking, the imperial court would definitely think of Zheng Jiajun, after all, there have been many battles, only when Zheng Jiajun faced the rogue, he was able to win huge victories repeatedly.

"My lord, my subordinates think that if Lord Hong can't quickly exterminate the Liukou and let the Liukou develop and grow, the imperial court will definitely think of the Zheng Family."

"Not necessarily, some people in the court have done everything possible to prevent the Zheng family's army from achieving military exploits, and besides, Lord Hong has not suffered a fiasco, it is nothing more than that he has not been able to effectively exterminate the rogues, at this time, even if the emperor is thinking about adjusting the candidates, it is not so easy."

Hearing Zheng Xunrui say this, Zheng Jinhong spoke without thinking.

"Young master, my subordinates think that even if the imperial court doesn't want the Zheng family army to move, it's not a big deal, Liukou doesn't dare to come to Shaanxi, the young master has analyzed it, Liukou won't develop in Nanzhili, as for the looting in the Huguang area, that's what Lord Hong considers."

Zheng Xunrui looked at Zheng Jinhong and opened his mouth with a stern face.

"Jinhong, such an idea can't be had, the rogue robs everywhere, and the people are still at a loss, and the chaos in Henan, Shanxi, Huguang and Sichuan, Shaanxi is also difficult to be alone, and it must be implicated, so the Zheng Jiajun must not stand idly by, and if the Liukou succeed in these places, the strength will inevitably be further strengthened, and in the end, when the Zheng Jiajun attacks, it will also suffer greater losses."

When Zheng Xunrui said these words, his eyes had already noticed that Liaodong and Xuanfu Datong had brought it, and if it was at this critical moment, the Houjin Tartars would attack, then the problem would really be a little complicated.
