Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 242 Zhang Xianzhong Rebellion
Lord Bear?Xiong Wencan also.

Zhu Changyuan thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Alright!"

He is not sure that he can hold Xiangyang City.If you use two hundred iron cavalry to intercept tens of thousands of people, the chance of winning is very small. Even if the enemy rushes forward on the corpse, they can crush you to death.

"Go ahead, let Polu come over, I'll arrange for him directly."

After Zhu Changyuan finished speaking, Cheng Bujing went out, Polu came in after a while, saw Zhu Changyuan hurriedly saluted and called Master.

Zhu Changyuan told him about his plan.

After hearing this, Polu went to look for Lao Xiong, and before leaving, he said: Even if the governor of Xiong does not leave, he can be tied to Fang County.

The reason why Li Xin sent Xiong Wencan away was not because he wanted to take this guy out of the picture, but because he had other plans of his own.Having said that, even if he is not ostracized, there is no room for him to speak in this city of Xiangyang.

In the next few days, most of the troops in Xiangyang City were transferred to Fang County by Zhu Changyuan, and Zhang Xianzhong was very clear about this, because the entrance to the valley to Fang County was not far from Gucheng. He Zhang Xianzhong didn't even want to know about the dispatch of soldiers.

Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo entered his commander's mansion several times and proposed to intercept him halfway, but they were all rejected by Zhang Xianzhong.

"Do you know why this commander let him in on purpose?" Zhang Xianzhong asked with a smile.

Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang were stunned, only Tang Bingshuo, the teacher next to him, smiled and remained silent.

"Why did my father let him in? The book of war says that if you hit him halfway, you will definitely win a big victory?" Li Dingguo has read many books of war with Tang Bingshuo during this period of time.

"Hehe." Zhang Xianzhong said: "You only see the benefits in front of you, but you don't understand the situation in the world." While talking, he drew a circle on the ground, beat his hands hard, and said: "Chongtianpo and Zuo Liangyu are in Henan There has not been a formal battle, and the situation is still unclear, if we act rashly, I am afraid it will be bad for us."

Master Tang took Zhang Xianzhong's words, chuckled, and said: "The commander-in-chief is only talking about one point. Besides, Zhu Changyuan is not an idler. If we intercept halfway, 2 people will die and fight desperately. Even if we win, it will be a disaster." Victory, if Zhu Changyuan brings elites to help, the outcome is still unknown."

"Now that he has taken the initiative to withdraw the main force into the mountains, Xiangyang City has become an empty city. No matter how brave Zhu Changyuan is, how can two hundred cavalry guard the city? In the past, the people of Xiangyang will be destroyed in a day and night!"

"What if my father goes to Xiangyang City and the 2 people in Fang County attack our army from behind?" If one family attacks back and forth, it's over.

"Young Master, don't forget." Tang Bingshuo smiled confidently, raised his finger and pointed in the direction of Fang County, and said, "The only valley that can enter and exit Fang County is this valley. Is it easy?"

"At that time, we only need to send a general to block Fang County's reinforcements in the canyon. It doesn't take too long. As long as we can hold them for a day, Xiangyang City will fall."

Two days later, Zhu Changyuan did not wait for Zhang Xianzhong in Xiangyang City, but he waited for another wave of people: the dead eunuch from the imperial court.

Another wave of eunuchs came over with imperial edicts.

Unlike the last time I came here to promote everyone, this time I was held accountable.

Sure enough, Zhu Changyuan did not expect it, and it was almost exactly the same as recorded in the Ming history. The imperial court sent down a head eunuch and more than 20 Jinyiwei to do one thing: to catch Xiong Wencan and hold him accountable.

But when this group of people arrived in Xiangyang City, they were dumbfounded, Xiong Wencan was not there at all.I couldn't catch Xiong Wencan, but I also encountered a terrible headache: Zhang Xianzhong rebelled.

What's more, what made the officials and eunuchs even more flustered was that after Zhu Changyuan's analysis and intelligence, Zhang Xianzhong's first battle of rebellion was directed at Xiangyang City.

The eunuch who came to pass the decree this time was neither Wang Zhixin nor Wang Chengen, and of course it was not Cao Huachun who was old and frail and afraid of the cold, but a young eunuch of Wang Chengen's confidant named Wang Qianqiu, who was also Wang Chengen's godson.

"Zhu Changyuan!" Wang Qianqiu didn't give Zhu Changyuan face very much. Not only did he speak harshly, but he also called him by his name, "We don't care if you want to fight, but there is one thing, Xiong Wencan must be handed over to me, and I will take him to the capital immediately go."

"Eunuch Wang." Since Wang Qianqiu doesn't give himself face, Zhu Changyuan feels that there is no need or obligation to help him, and shirks: "Half an hour ago, Zhang Xianzhong has sent troops, and he is about to attack Xiangyang City. Xiong Wencan, Xiong Dadu How can I hand it over to you now that it is far away in Fang County?"

"You send someone to invite Xiong Wencan over, our family doesn't care about you." Wang Qianqiu's face was gloomy, and he felt that the guy named Zhu Changyuan in front of him didn't take him seriously.

"Elder-in-law is also bringing people with him, why don't you go by yourself, and the imperial decree didn't say that this general will assist you in arresting Xiong Wencan." After Zhu Changyuan finished speaking, he was about to go out of the house.

It’s not that he deliberately neglected these people, it’s that Zhang Xianzhong has already dispatched troops, and the matter is imminent. You must know that Gucheng is only two hours away from Xiangyang City on horseback. It only took about half a day to be able to approach the city with troops.

At this critical time, how could there be time to chatter with this guy, we must quickly mobilize troops to intercept Zhang Xianzhong halfway.

"Bold!" Wang Qianqiu turned pale with anger. Ever since he became Wang Chengen's adopted son, the older generation of eunuchs in the harem would call him "Prince Wang Gonggong" and then say a few words in a low voice, even some fell out of favor. The concubine of the concubine also respected him when she saw him. As for going in and out of the prince's mansion, it goes without saying that the scenery is natural. How have you ever met someone like Zhu Changyuan who doesn't take him seriously?

"Our family follows the order, and all officials, big and small, need to cooperate along the way. You, Zhu Changyuan, are just guarding the small city of Xiangyang, how dare you ignore the imperial order?"

What Wang Qianqiu said was righteous and strict.

Zhu Changyuan stopped, snorted coldly, and said: "The general only knows that Zhang Xianzhong's army will arrive sooner or later, and I don't know what the imperial decree is. Besides, the imperial decree was passed on to Xiong Wencan by His Majesty, so what's the matter with me?"

"You, you!" Wang Qianqiu said as if he had suffered a great shame, "How dare you slander Your Majesty and call yourself Lao Tzu?"

"What's the matter?" Zhu Changyuan smiled coldly, with a murderous heart, and secretly said that killing an angel, this is not the first time I have done it.

"In terms of seniority, I'm Chongzhen's clan uncle, so why can't I call myself an old man?" Zhu Changyuan clenched his fists secretly, and his eyes shone sharply.

"If His Majesty hears your words like this, he will definitely cut you into pieces!"

"Of course, he doesn't have this chance." Zhu Changyuan suddenly turned his head, his eyes like lightning.

"Take him down and tie Zhu Changyuan to me." Wang Qianqiu gritted his teeth and ordered the twenty guards around him.

The 20 people stepped forward at the same time and surrounded Zhu Changyuan in the middle, drawing out the Xiuchun knife in their hands at the same time.

"Stupid!" Zhu Changyuan smiled coldly, his figure flashed suddenly, and he snatched the Xiuchun knife of a Jinyiwei in an instant, and then swung the Xiuchun knife in his hand at a strange angle with a "sigh!"

Twenty Jin Yiwei unexpectedly fell into a pool of blood immediately, and none of them made half a move.

"Before father-in-law came, didn't Wang Chengen tell you that I am the enemy of ten thousand people?" Zhu Changyuan's eyes flickered with a smile, but Wang Qianqiu's eyes were full of chills.

"General." Wang Qianqiu looked at the corpses on the ground in an instant, and suddenly trembled all over, as if his body was not his own, "General..."

The word "ming" has not yet been exported, and the head is already in a different place.

Pulled open the system to release a carriage, put away all the corpses of more than 20 people, put them in again, picked up the imperial decree on the ground next to it, and Zhu Changyuan strode out of the room.

Walking into the barracks, he saw that each of his two hundred cavalrymen had bright armor and their eyes were full of fighting spirit, so he felt hot and said, "Well done, brothers, we are going to the battlefield again."

Suddenly saw Fifth Brother Zhang with one arm, and asked, "Can Fifth Brother still fight?"

"General, I can do it!" Brother Zhang raised his remaining arm, and swung the mace in his hand vigorously, and the wind was so loud.

"Okay!" Zhu Changyuan patted the silver alloy armor on his body, and said, "In this case, you all come with me, and let our two hundred cavalry crush Zhang Xianzhong's one hundred thousand army."

"Let this general lead you to create a war that has never been seen before or since." Zhu Changyuan said that he was full of enthusiasm, jumped on the horse, took out a big horn and asked: "Zhang Xianzhong set off from Gucheng a quarter of an hour ago. , leading an army of [-] to our city of Xiangyang, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!" The soldiers shouted loudly.

"Okay!" Zhu Changyuan asked again: "We only have 200 people, do we have the confidence to defeat the enemy?"

"Yes!" 200 people are not many, and the voice is not loud, but the perseverance among them can shake the mountains.These people, ever since they wiped out Sun Xiaofeng with less victories and more in Fang County, have a kind of pride and self-confidence in their blood and even in their bones.

Winning more with less, especially a large proportion of winning more with less, can make a person dedicate his life to honor.

"If this battle is won, all the brothers will be our Sun Moon Island's heroes. We will erect a monument at the head of Xiangyang City, engraving your names and stories for future generations to look up to."

"Long live, long live!"

"Long live the Holy General!"

What do soldiers want?
For ordinary soldiers, it is military pay!
But for those troops whose names have lasted through the ages, what they care about is honor!Sometimes, for a soldier, honor is even more important than life.

"Good brother!" Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly, took a deep breath, his pupils shrank slightly, his gaze became sharper than ever before, he waved his hands forward and made a starting movement, and said in his mouth: "March!"
