Chapter 466 The Disagreement Between the Luoyang Ming Army

Outside Luoyang City, thousands of Ming troops launched an attack on the troops of the Dashun Army.Rows of blunderbusses made rough noises, and the projectiles shot at the enemy like a goddess scattering flowers. As for whether they could hit the enemy, it was purely a matter of luck.

"Take a big knife and drive out these gangsters, we will have food to eat!" Hong Chengchou held a big knife in his hand, and when the distance between the two sides was close, it was a close combat with cold weapons!

The starving soldiers of the Ming army with red eyes burst out with unprecedented courage, rushing towards the Dashun army's position like a tiger and wolf division!People are iron, food is steel, Dashun soldiers have never seen officers and soldiers so brave!
Thousands of Ming troops who came out of the barren city of Luoyang quickly defeated the bandits who surrounded Luoyang City after a fierce battle.

After confirming that Gao Guiying and others led the main force to leave correctly, Hong Chengchou, Zuo Liangyu, Cao Wenzhao and others who were trapped in Luoyang couldn't wait to lead their troops out of the city to fight against the battle, because there was really no extra food in Luoyang city!
When the sun was setting, smoke was already rising outside Luoyang city.The Ming army who took away the food and grass of the Dashun army finally got supplies, so they don't have to worry about starving to death for the time being.

"My lord, what should we do next?" Zuo Liangyu and Cao Wenzhao each came to Hong Chengchou with a bowl of hot porridge.

I have been hungry for two days, but ordinary rice porridge can bring tears to my eyes.Just filling their stomachs, this soldier of the Ming army who had been forgotten in the Heluo area had to think about his future again.

They were ordered to exterminate the rogues in northern Shaanxi, but instead they were pushed back to Luoyang City by Li Zicheng and Zhang Yuan, and were besieged until winter.Now the Heluo area has also started to snow, and the food and clothing of these thousands of people has become Hong Chengchou's biggest concern.

"Still unable to contact the imperial court, but according to the information obtained from the prisoners we captured in this battle, it seems that the capital city has really been captured by Li Zicheng. This can also explain why we have been waiting for reinforcements for a long time, fearing that once the capital city falls , the world is in chaos, and all parties are busy competing in the Central Plains, and there is no distinction between officials and bandits." Hong Chengchou said.

"It's really the worst situation. Now it's alright. We are fighting the bandits here to the death. I didn't expect that we have not collapsed, but the court has perished instead. We don't know the meaning of what we do these days. "Zuo Liangyu and Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but frown when they saw that the situation had really reached the worst situation.

This kind of situation is really embarrassing, and it will be gone under the name of the court, what is the matter.

"But I also heard that the Fu Liao army took back the capital and killed Li Zicheng, so the leader of the bandits, Gao, was eager to go north to avenge Li Zicheng." Hong Chengchou said.

"The Liao Army's entry into the customs at this time is obviously not to restore the imperial court, but to attempt to change the dynasty." Zuo Liangyu saw it clearly, "If the capital is lost once, it's game over. After the Liao Army occupied the capital, there will be no us Ming Dynasty whats the matter."

"So now we may only have two ways to go. One way is to go east to Hebei to join the Kyushu Army, and the other way is to go south to join the Ming Army in Xiangyang to observe the general situation of the world." Hong Chengchou drew on the ground with a branch The three places are Beijing, Xiangyang and Luoyang.

Zuo Liangyu fell into deep thought, and said slowly: "My lord governor, what do you think? In the north, the Dashun Army and the Fu Liao Army are probably fighting for power, and the south must still be under the control of our Ming Dynasty, but I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor has We have successfully arrived at Nanjing City. If Your Majesty retreats to Nanjing City and gathers hundreds of thousands of troops from the south, it is still possible to recover the north. The late emperor also led elite soldiers to fight from south to north."

"During the time of the first emperor, the Yuan Dynasty divided the nationalities into three, five, and six classes, and there were continuous natural disasters, which aroused the wrath of the sky and people's resentment. They brought their own destruction. Now it is our dynasty that causes the people's suffering, and it is impossible to unify the north from the south." Hong Chengchou shook his head.

"Then the Governor-General means that he has defected to the Liao Army in the east?" Zuo Liangyu said.

"I have this intention for the time being, but I don't know how you two think about it. The world has been suffering for a long time, natural disasters and man-made disasters. If the Liao army can do what we can't do, it is okay to submit to them." Hong Chengchou said.

"No, I don't agree. We should go south to Xiangyang and join the Ming armies from the two lakes. If we advance, we can assist Nanjing City in the northern expedition to the Central Plains, and if we retreat, we can keep the area south of the Yangtze River. Why should we rely on others!" Zuo Liangyu dissatisfied.

Zuo Liangyu and Hong Chengchou stared at each other and had a disagreement.

"Cao Wenzhao, how do you choose?" Hong Chengchou and Zuo Liangyu looked at Cao Wenzhao.

"I obey the governor's orders. If the Fu-Liao Army can really bring peace to the world, it doesn't matter if you join the Fu-Liao Army. The Fu-Liao Army is also a member of our Ming Army." Cao Wenzhao said.

"Zuo Liangyu, even Cao Wenzhao approved my approach, we should act together." Hong Chengchou said.

"With our status, joining the Kyushu Army will not be looked down upon by them, and even our current official position will be lost. It's better to go to Lianghu and set up our own family. The future is unknown." Zuo Liangyu insisted, " Why don't we divide our troops and go forward, I will go to Xiangyang, and you go to the east to find the Liao army."

"Since you think so, there is nothing wrong with it. Originally, I was the governor of the three sides, and you should listen to me, but now that the imperial court is gone, the governor of the three sides is just a joke. You can lead your troops to Xiangyang as much as you want, and I will never No embarrassment." Hong Chengchou said.

"Okay, thank you Governor for your success. We will meet again in the future, and I hope we won't be enemies." Zuo Liangyu was also very straightforward.

After the three originally mixed Ming army troops experienced a fierce battle, there were only a few thousand people left, and Zuo Liangyu took away a group of these thousands of people, leaving less than 5000 people .

Watching Zuo Liangyu pull out his troops and leave, Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao stayed in Luoyang and other places to rest, and they were also confused about the future.

After resting for a day, Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao left the Luoyang area where there was no grass.After many wars in the Luoyang area, and Gao Guiying and others searched for food and grass outside Luoyang during the siege, in fact, three feet of ground has been dug near Luoyang, which is no more tragic than the drought-stricken northern Shaanxi area.So much so that Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao traveled a hundred miles to the east, but they couldn't see anyone near the official road.

When they were about to leave the Luoyang Basin to the east, Hong Chengchou and the others encountered the peasant army who had retreated from the northern part of the Yellow River and Kaifeng and other places.

"Get ready to meet the enemy!" Hong Chengchou became very nervous when he saw the menacing peasant army, which numbered tens of thousands.

However, these peasant troops did not mean to entangle Hong Chengchou too much.They bypassed the thousands of Ming troops led by Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao, and ran in the direction of Xi'an City regardless of their heads.
