East Factory Governor

Chapter 396 Closed door and ambush
However, the gate of Hancheng was actually closed.

A general beside Wang Baochang yelled towards the top of the city, "Master Wang, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi, has arrived! Open the city gate as soon as possible!"

But he didn't want the school captain at the top of the city to shout at him, "By the order of Lord Hong, in order to prevent sneak attacks by bandits, the whole city of Hancheng is under martial law. No one is allowed to enter the city without the order of Lord Hong and the imperial envoy Qin Shaobao. Dare I ask you brothers, is there such a thing?" A warrant from the two adults?"

Wang Baochang was furious when he heard the words!
He is the commander-in-chief of Shanxi, and Hong Chengchou is just a small political officer...

Hey, no, Hong Chengchou is now the governor of Shaanxi.

He, the Shanxi general, naturally can't control the Shanxi governor!

Wang Baochang was so angry that his back molars were shaking. This Hong Chengchou is really a villain, and he will give Lao Tzu a face when he succeeds, right?I don't even think about how he humbled himself when he met Lao Tzu when he was only a small participant in politics!

It doesn't matter if you don't open the door for me, I have Du Yang's warrant!The governor of the three sides can always cure you, right?

Thinking of this, he said angrily to the school lieutenant, "Listen, there will be a warrant from the governor of the three sides, Lord Yang, and there is an urgent military matter that needs to be entered into the city, so open the city gate quickly!"

But I heard the school lieutenant say, "General Wang, it's not that the young man refuses to open the door. It's Mr. Hong who has an order. Except for his and Qin Shaobao's warrants, other people's passwords are useless. Please also ask General Wang Haihan!"

Wang Baochang was furious, "Bold, do you even dare to disobey the governor's order? Are you planning to rebel?"

The school lieutenant said again, "General Wang, calm down! In terms of size, we still feel that the imperial envoy's warrant is bigger, because it is said in the imperial decree that his decision is the holy judgment, and he is the one who wants our family to take control of the platform." If your lord does this, it means that the emperor wants us to do this! Tell me, do we dare to resist the imperial decree of the emperor?"

A school lieutenant came up and said, "How about that, General Wang, please go and ask for an imperial decree. When the brothers see the imperial decree, I will keep it and open the door for you!"

Wang Baochang's face turned pale with anger, and the beard on the corner of his mouth flew up.

He finally understood what Qin Shuhuai meant when he said that he hoped he wouldn't make the same mistakes again!

He prevented Qin Shuhuai from entering Taiyuan City before, but now Qin Shuhuai prevents him from entering Han City!
This is revenge, this is a demonstration, and it is even more blatant ridicule!

Han Cheng only recognized Qin Shuhuai's warrant, but not Governor Yang He's warrant. The situation couldn't be more obvious, that is, Hong Chengchou had already taken refuge in Qin Shuhuai, and it was a complete kind of refuge, even dealing with Yang Hexu and pervertedly. I didn't bother to deal with it for a while, and directly stated that I would not serve.

Wang Baochang remembered that he had bragged to Qin Shuhuai before, saying that he would not be driven away, and suddenly felt his face burn.

There were a lot of people listening when I said this, how can I explain to them now?
Could it be that Qin Shuhuai was really transformed by a goblin?Why did he listen to him wherever he went?

At this time, Hong Chengchou was sitting in the government office, sipping tea leisurely.

This Wang Baochang has no ability, but he has been in a high position for a long time, and he has long been upset when he is bullied.Now that he is the governor of Shaanxi, and he has this good opportunity, how can he not humiliate him?
Of course, humiliating him is only secondary, and his main goal is to completely draw a line with Yang He and the Donglin Party.

Based on his judgment of the situation, he had already determined that Yang He would lose in this trilateral battle!
Whether it is Qin Shaobao's vision of judging the situation, his means of manipulating power, or his literary and martial arts, Yang He is by no means capable of matching.And after Yang He loses the three sides, the emperor will definitely start to rectify Donglin, saying that Donglin's resignation is still light, and the whole Donglin will have to pay a lot of heads to calm the emperor's hatred of being bullied by Donglin for a long time!
So, at this critical moment, how could he not make an early bet?
Keeping Wang Baochang out of Hancheng just happened to avenge Qin Shuhuai's death, and also showed his loyalty to Shaobao and the emperor. Where could such a good opportunity be found?

Even if Qin Shuhuai needs it, he can lead soldiers to help him.

You must know that if Dong Lin wins this battle, he will not be able to bear fruit even if he remains neutral, because the Dong Lin Party doesn't like him at all. If it weren't for the emperor, he is still doing a little political participation.

Therefore, he simply went all out, broke up with Donglin openly, and completely fell to Qin Shuhuai's side!
Wang Baochang tossed and tossed under the city gate for a long time, from the initial persuasion to the final yelling and cursing, but the soldiers on the tower didn't even bother him.

Wang Baochang was completely lost.He can't lead troops to storm the city gate, can he?People said that it was the order of the imperial envoy, and the imperial envoy said that it was the order of the emperor. If he attacked the city, wouldn't it be a rebellion?
Besides, with his 3000 troops, he still wants to break through Hancheng guarded by [-] troops?

The sky gradually darkened.

Wang Baochang confessed.

With the soldiers, they rushed back dejectedly.

Like Qin Shuhuai, he led his brothers on the road in the ice and snow in the middle of the night.

The difference is that the one who drove Qin Shuhuai away was a sixth-rank official, but the one who drove him away was just a low-rank captain.

When the three thousand fine riders came, they were riding fast, but when they arrived in Hancheng, they didn't add anything, and went back in despair. They really were exhausted.

That's all, the most important thing is that morale is extremely low.These soldiers didn't understand why the Governor's orders suddenly didn't work?Could it be that the three sides have changed?
Various versions of rumors began to spread in the army, but there was only one core meaning, that is, the emperor no longer trusted Governor Yang, and wanted to send Qin Shaobao to take away Yang He's power.

If this is the case, I'm afraid Zongbing Wang is in trouble.

The team slowly marched to Wangjiatun, 37 miles away from Hancheng, and it was dark at this time.

Wang Baochang was preparing soldiers to enter the village to repair, when he suddenly heard shouts of killing everywhere!
Then, countless bandits armed with spears came from all directions.These rogue bandits are densely packed, covering the mountains and plains, and the number is as many as tens of thousands.Moreover, they were all well-trained, and they did not flinch in the face of cavalry. They were divided into teams of dozens of people, stabbing the horses first and then stabbing the people. They cooperated with each other very tacitly.

Undoubtedly, in the territory of Shanxi, apart from Zhang Xianzhong's tribe, there is no bandit that can have such a strong strength.

Wang Baochang was shocked and hurriedly commanded his subordinates to resist.After fighting for a short while, he saw that the enemy army was powerful and surrounded from all directions, so he made a routine decision—to join forces and make a strong breakout.

This decision was tactically correct, but he ignored the dark factor.

If he adopts the dispersal and breakout tactics at this time, he can rely on the dark factor to get out by luck.But once the encirclement is concentrated, firstly, when the line of sight is not good, the panicked cavalry will inevitably trample on each other; , preventing them from breaking out.

To put it bluntly, Wang Baochang is good at flattering horses, but he is not good at fighting.

Seeing that it was not possible to break through the siege through concentration, Wang Baochang ordered the breakout to be dispersed.

But it was too late.

The encirclement circle of the rogue spearmen has shrunk, and the encirclement of them is extremely solid, so it's no wonder they can still break through.The situation on the battlefield changed suddenly, and a stupid commander could definitely kill countless soldiers. This was why the soldiers of Wuyuan Camp were willing to go with Qin Shuhuai.
