please make me king

Chapter 1250 I am Li Linhuai

Not to mention how the rebel army behaved, let's say that Zhu Xieyuan, the left governor, could not defeat Sun Chuanting for a long time, so he reorganized the army and returned to Taiyuan City.

He hurriedly wrote two letters, one was sent to Yu Yang and Xuanda Governor Zhang Fengyi, and the other was sent to Luzhou Shanxi Governor Yang Wenyue.

Yanghewei, the governor of Xuanda's residence, was [-] miles away from Taiyuan, and Zhu Xieyuan's letter was rushed to three hundred miles, and it took only three days and two nights to deliver it to Zhang Fengyi.

That Feng Yi opened the letter and couldn't help but smile wryly.

It turns out that although the three western towns of Xuanda Shanxi have a vast area and a large number of troops, the actual available combat troops are limited.

After Zhang Fengyi took office, apart from the defenders from all over the country, there were [-] soldiers in Xuanfu, [-] in Datong, [-] in Shanxi, and only [-] in the standard battalion.

As a result, Shanxi Town was mobilized and destroyed by the former Shanxi governor Wu Wei and Sun Chuanting. Now only the battalion under the command of Li Fuming, the deputy general of Shanxi, is now in Taiyuan City.

Datong's [-] soldiers have also been led by Wang Shiren, the commander-in-chief of Datong, to support Zhu Xieyuan. Now Zhang Fengyi has only [-] soldiers from Xuanfu and his standard battalion under Zhang Fengyi's command.

Fortunately, after Zhang Fengyi became Governor of Xuanda, he was not idle.

Not only did he organize another [-] standard battalions by himself, but he also asked the governors of Datong and Xuanfu to prepare [-] standard battalions respectively.

In this way, he can still mobilize [-] soldiers and horses under his command.

Zhang Fengyi once served as the "Soldier" of the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally knew the difficulties of the court.

Now that Houjin is watching covetously outside the pass, first of all, the elite soldiers in the two towns of Ji and Liao cannot be moved lightly, and the two towns of Tianjin and Zhenbao not only defend the capital, but also have weak soldiers and cannot be used.

After thinking about it, the only way to survive is to take the risk of using Xuanda's elite soldiers.

How to do?
Zhang Fengyi thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and gave an order: "Li Guoliang, the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, leads five thousand soldiers, Ye Tinggui, the governor of Datong, leads a standard battalion of five thousand soldiers, and Tang Tong, the general guarding Datong West Road, leads three thousand soldiers. The governor goes south to rescue Taiyuan, there must be no mistakes!"

The [-] soldiers plus the [-] standard battalion under his command, plus the [-] guards under the command of Datong West Road Counselor Tang Tong, made a total of [-] troops.

If this battle is successful, the Ming Dynasty will turn the crisis into safety, and if it fails, the consequences may be disastrous.

Zhang Fengyi neither dared to imagine the consequences of losing Taiyuan, nor the consequences of the loss of elite soldiers in the two towns of Xuanda, but now he had no choice but to take such a risk.

And just when Zhang Fengyi got angry, Yang Wenyue, the governor of Shanxi stationed in Luzhou, also received a letter from Zhu Xieyuan, the left governor.

He opened it and saw only one line on the letter: "Now I want to be Li Linhuai, can you be Zhang Suiyang?"

Li Linhuai is Li Guangbi, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. He used to defend Taiyuan City with weak soldiers, and was famous for his rebel general Shi Siming with few victories and many defeats. Later, he was named King of Linhuai, so he was called "Li Linhuai".

And Zhang Suiyang is Zhang Xun, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. He once defended Suiyang with Xu Yuan, the prefect of Suiyang, and blocked the Jianghuai River when there was no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside. "Zhang Suiyang".

It was these two men, one in the south and the other in the north, who guarded the two strategic areas in the north and the south, so that although the Anshi rebels conquered Luoyang and Chang'an, they still could not avoid the end of defeat.

The current situation of Ming Dynasty is quite similar to that of Tang Dynasty. If Zhu Xieyuan can defend Taiyuan and Yang Wenyue defends Luzhou, the outcome is still unknown. That's why Zhu Xieyuan wrote the letter "I want to be Li Linhuai, but you can be Zhang Suiyang" .

In fact, these days, even though he was "attacked by the thieves", Yang Wenyue still felt that he could persevere, and it would not be a problem for him to defend Luzhou like Zhang Xun, but he only felt a little harsh when he saw Zhu Xieyuan's words.

Zhang Xuncheng broke his body and died, Li Guangbi became famous, no matter who he is, he knows how to choose.

He wanted to reply to Zhu Xieyuan: Li Linhuai, I will do it myself, and you can be Zhang Suiyang!
Feeling small again, he couldn't help but shook his head, and ordered: "Come here, give me this letter to the right supervisor, Yang Sichang."

Now the right governor, Yang Sichang, is stationed in Zhangde Mansion, and he and Liu Guozhu, the Baoding General Soldier stationed in Daming Mansion, are each other's horns, desperately resisting the attack of the Rebel South Route Army.

At that time, the rebel army had already conquered Wei Hui, and joined Yuan Shizhong, the rebel army in Kaizhou.

Although Yuan Shizhong's rebel army was well-disciplined, they lacked weapons and armor and lacked combat experience. They were quickly defeated by Baoding General Soldier Liu Guozhu.

Yuan Shizhong heard the name of "King Shun" early, so he sent an envoy to express his willingness to submit to "King Shun".

After asking Zhang Shun for instructions, Hong Chengchou, the commander-in-chief of the South Route Army, sent Zhang Shun's edict, teachers of the Rebel Army, and some weapons and armor.

Yuan Shizhong then reorganized his army and stormed Kaizhou under the title of "Daming Zongbing" of the rebel army.

Seeing the "disturbances everywhere" near Kaizhou, the Baoding General Soldier was afraid of missing the military plane, so he retreated to Daming, and the two sides formed a confrontation.

Therefore, when Yang Sichang, the right governor of the Ming Dynasty, received a letter from Shanxi Governor Yang Wenyue, he opened it and felt ashamed.

Yang Sichang couldn't help but said to Zhu Dadian: "The state of the country is like this, it's all my fault. If I can't follow Zhang Suiyang's atonement, how can I face Your Majesty?"

Yang Sichang held a high position at such a young age, apart from Chongzhen's favor and trust, he also naturally had reasons for his own talent and intelligence.

Now that the Ming army was defeated and retreated to Zhangde Mansion, how could he not understand that it was because of his impetuous progress that he made a big mistake when Huaiqing Mansion was defeated.

In fact, if Yang Sichang hadn't been so impatient back then, what would have happened even if the rebels had occupied Huaiqing Mansion?

As long as the Ming army is entrenched in Kaifeng, how can Hong Chengchou, Li Xin and his like dare to go northward?

Therefore, Zhu Dadian, the Governor of Water Transport and Governor of Fengyang, could only remain silent when he heard the words, which was regarded as acquiescing to Yang Sichang's fault.

Seeing this, Yang Sichang was even more heartbroken.

He couldn't help but kept Zhu Xieyuan's letter, and wrote to the governor of Henan, Wu Zhen: "Now Zhu Xieyuan is guarding Taiyuan, Yang is guarding Zhangde, and Your Excellency is guarding Kaifeng."

"These three all need land. Taiyuan strangles its shoulders, Zhangde strangles its waist and eyes, and Kaifeng strangles its hands."

"If these three places are not lost, the Great Ming will not perish!"

"Today Zhu Xieyuan would like to be Li Linhuai, and a certain person would like to be Zhang Suiyang. You are ten times more talented than me. You should be Guo Fenyang!"

Guo Fenyang, also known as Guo Ziyi, played the mainstay role in leading the Shuofang Army during the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty.

Later, he recovered the two capitals and rebuilt the country. Because of his meritorious service, he was named the king of Fenyang, so he was called "Guo Fenyang".

Yang Sichang's remarks were actually suspected of giving Wu Zhen a high hat.

It's just that if you take turns carefully, Taiyuan is now the main direction of the rebel army's attack, and the imperial court has not made up its mind to call in Ji Liao's elite to launch a battle, so it will naturally be at a disadvantage.

In the direction of Zhangde Mansion, Yang Sichang, Zhu Dadian and other ministries were newly defeated. Now it is rare to barely maintain the first line of defense in Luzhou, Zhangde and Daming, so naturally we can't expect too much.

The only place in Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province, the rebel army Cao Bianjiao lacked one battalion of Gao Gong and had only [-] troops, not much more than the governor of Henan Province, Wu Shen, who had four battalions under his command, so Yang Sichang placed high hopes on it.

Moreover, due to the large-scale attack of the rebel army, from Kaifeng to the east, except for the four battalions under Cao Bianjiao's command, Henan Mansion was empty, which was the only turning point for the Ming army.

Yang Sichang's letter went through many days, and it was finally delivered to the governor of Henan, Wu Zhen.

When Wu Zhen opened the letter and read it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It turns out that although Wu Tong has Zuo Liangyu, Hu Dawei, Chen Yongfu, and Zu Kuan under his command, there are four fierce generals, but there are many injuries to the soldiers and horses under his command, and he can't make up for it in a hurry.

Now the four battalions under Wu Sheng's command are short of soldiers and food.

Originally the excellent source of soldiers in Kaifeng Mansion "Kaifeng Mansion Yamen servants" has already been removed. Shaolin monks and western Henan hairy gourds are now under the rule of "thieves", beyond their reach.

In contrast, due to repeated battles in the border of Henan and the successive deaths of successive governors, mice can run in Kaifeng's treasury, which made Wu Xin even more worried.

"It seems that I'm going to meet King Zhou!" He thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he finally came up with a solution that was not a solution.

If you pay, you can raise soldiers, and if you pay, you can recruit soldiers.

If... If the capital cannot be defended, the affairs of the world are still unknown!
