"Leave a part?"

Ni Yuanlu was puzzled: "Why do you want to leave a part of it, isn't the plague of our Jingshi already over?" ”

Zhu Jie said helplessly: "Lord Ni, this herb must be flowed, because the soldiers in Tongzhou Town have to use ......."

Ni Yuanlu was stunned and said, "What are they used for?" Can't this thing be eaten? ”

"Because, it won't be long before the soldiers of Tongzhou Town will have to go to Henan......"

Zhu Jie replied in a deep voice, "Once the Qin army under the command of Inspector Sun falls ill on a large scale, it will definitely not be able to resist Li Zicheng's rebels, and we must be ready to send troops now to ensure that nothing goes wrong!" ”

"Zhu Jie, is it really that serious?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard it.

Zhu Jie bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, if you really get sick, I'm afraid that it won't take five or six days for Henan's expedited chapter to arrive, and when the time comes, the thieves will ravage Henan again, how will the imperial court deal with it?" ”

Chongzhen's face was even more ugly, and it was not easy for Zhu Jie to organize out a decent army, now it's okay, and he is going to the front line to suppress bandits, why are he so unlucky......

"Zhu Aiqing, do you really think that Sun Chuanting can't stop Li Zicheng's attack this time?"

Chongzhen asked.

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the key is the plague, if the plague did not find the Qin army of Inspector Sun, then it is okay, Inspector Sun is resourceful, and his soldiers are strong and strong, even if they can't defeat Li Zicheng, there is no big problem in blocking them outside Henan, but once the Qin army is infected by the plague and a large number of soldiers fall ill, it will definitely not be able to stop Li Zicheng's army!" If everything is premeditated, if you don't prepare, you can only take precautions now, once there is a change, then you can immediately send troops to help Henan! ”

"Since that's the case, then you will prepare in Tongzhou immediately, Fang Yuegong, Ni Yuanlu, you must be ready!"

The crowd dispersed, and after only a few days, the seven or eight miles of Henan were sent to the military department again!

It's not that the situation is bad this time, it's just burning his eyebrows, and without Zhu Jie's calculations, Sun Chuanting is still pitted by the plague!

All the things did not escape Zhu Jie's expectations, and Sun Chuanting was about to arrive in Nanyang Mansion a few days ago.

The so-called people are not as good as the sky, Henan has been plagued by natural disasters for many years, and after a series of wars, it has been scourged and withered.

In order to restore the people's strength and allow the people to recuperate, Sun Chuanting accepted Zhu Jie's suggestion, and after driving the thieves out of Henan, he led the troops to retreat to the area of Kaifeng Mansion and stationed there, opened up the wasteland on the spot, prepared the affairs of Tuntian, and prepared a batch of military rations, and allocated a part of it from the treasury to the local people to open up the wasteland and plant, as long as the people have food in their hands and hope, the ghost will rebel.

The strategy is good, but no one could have imagined that less than half a year has passed, and the damned plague has spread to the border of Henan, and began to extend to the hinterland of Henan, and soon spread to the Kaifeng area.

At the beginning, it was not too serious, it was just the illness of a few people, and the Henan people did not pay too much attention to it, as for the military camp, there was no change, everything was normal.

However, no one thought that in just one month, the plague spread rapidly in northern Henan, from Weihui to Kaifeng, and the people in Henan fell into panic.

Ren Jun, the governor of Henan, only realized the seriousness of the problem at this time, and he was anxious, but in the face of such a natural disaster, the political envoy of Henan Province was poor, where is the strength to control the epidemic, Ren Jun is anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he has no temper!

The most important thing is that at this time, Sun Chuanting suddenly received an urgent report from Nanyang Mansion that Li Zicheng's army had begun to assemble again, at least a hundred thousand troops gathered in Xiangyang, and then the troops were divided into two routes, and the troops went straight to Daoyang Mansion and Runing Mansion!

Unlike Sun Chuanting, as an official of the imperial court, although the Qin army occasionally looted and looted, it would not be looted on a large scale after all.

But Li Zicheng doesn't care about this, the army is originally a thief who plunders everywhere, and his nature has not changed for more than ten years, after Li Yan and Niu Jinxing took refuge in Li Zicheng, they suggested that Li Zicheng establish a base area, gather the hearts of the people, and prepare to swallow the world, Li Zicheng accepted their suggestion and strictly enforced military discipline; However, this defeat caused Li Zicheng to lose a lot of military rations and wealth, and the morale of the army was low.

Li Zicheng had no choice but to return to Hubei, and began to launch a big war again in the northern parts of Hubei, all the way to conquer the city, and the surrounding prefectures and counties were robbed by Li Zicheng, and a large amount of grain, grass, and wealth were collected in a short period of time, and his strength recovered quickly.

Li Zicheng, who has recovered his strength, is naturally unwilling to spit out Henan that he has eaten like this, fight, fight again, and must drive Sun Chuanting out of Henan and settle in the Central Plains!

Whether it is Li Yan or Niu Jinxing, they are trying their best to persuade Li Zicheng to enter the army again, and he must grab Henan, which is a place where Chinese soldiers must fight for for two thousand years, and if he occupies Henan, then he can peep into Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the east, Huguang in the south, Ganxi in the west, and Gyeonggi in the north, and the general trend of the world is under control!

Moreover, the most important reason is that the mysterious Zhu Jie is gone, the war has not completely ended, Zhu Jie was transferred back to the capital by Chongzhen, and now there is only Sun Chuanting left as a bare-bones commander, so what is there to fear, Sun Chuanting is those two hits, although it is not ambiguous, but it is not high, not to mention that Zhu Jie took away the main force of Sun Chuanting's 10,000 cavalry in one go, and the Qin army is now greatly reduced! It is the best opportunity to attack Henan, if you wait for another year and a half, at that time Henan has been recuperating and recuperating, and Sun Chuanting has also received a huge supplement, and it will be difficult to occupy Henan again!

Li Ziyuan has had this plan since he was born, and now when he heard that Li Yanniu and Jin Xing persuaded him to enter Henan again, he was even more moved, and it was necessary to send troops quickly, taking advantage of the fact that Sun Chuanting's army had not yet returned to its peak state, it was just to defeat it in one fell swoop, and never give him a chance to turn over!

Li Zicheng gave an order, left Niu Jinxing and Yuan Zongdi in Hubei, presided over the affairs of the rear, led an army of 180,000, and entered Henan again, all the way to Runing Mansion, all the way to Nanyang Mansion, the entire southern Henan area, the rumors!
