The previous article mentioned that Wang Jiayin, the capital of the Peasant Rebel Army, led more than 100,000 troops to invade Zezhou, Shanxi. The Zezhou Prefect asked the governor Lu Xiangsheng to inform the governor Lu Xiangsheng while leading troops to Yangcheng to stalemate with the rebel army. He used a delaying strategy to delay Wang Jiayin for five or six days, but he had not seen Governor Lu Xiangsheng lead his troops to rescue him. What's going on?

It is natural that Lu Xiangsheng would not not come to rescue him. When he received the emergency document, the recruits had just started training less than half a month, and the first batch of new flintlock rifles had not been sent. It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the 100,000 new recruits was not as good as his 1,000 guards in the Jing camp and the 1,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry brought by Cao Wenzhao. But even so, he had to lead troops to rescue him. If the bandits occupy Zezhou, the gate to Henan and the capital would be opened from then on, and the bandits would spread to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, then his crime would be great.

After receiving the emergency documents from Zezhou, Lu Xiangsheng immediately organized the generals to discuss and prepare to deport the camp to Zezhou. During this period, Cao Wenzhao proposed that he first lead the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the newly-soldiers to rush to Zezhou to block the army of the bandit Wang Jiayin's troops. Lu Xiangsheng rejected his proposal without hesitation.

What a joke, it would be fine for ordinary bandits. Even if there are 200,000, it would be fine to let Cao Wenzhao bring 10,000 cavalry to resist for a while. But this is the leader of the bandits. Wang Jiayin has captured Fugu County since the first year of Chongzheng. In recent years, he has robbed people everywhere, captured countless cities, and robbed countless gold, silver and treasures. His weapons and armor were better than the Ming army. In addition, Wang Jiayin's general, King Gao Yingxiang, was a horse dealer, and he brought countless war horses for Wang Jiayin. He heard that they now have 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry. Cao Wenzhao brought these 10,000 new soldiers to the place, and he was simply a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, leaving no return.

He knew that with the combat effectiveness of his 100,000 new recruits, he could only block the bandits' pace by joining a group. Once he dispersed, he would definitely be defeated by Wang Jiayin. Moreover, with his 100,000 new recruits who had just been trained for less than half a month, it would be impossible for him to beat more than 100,000 bandits under the thief chief Wang Jiayin. He could only wait until the flintlock rifle arrived, and he might still have a chance of winning with the advantage of his weapons.

So, while asking the emperor to send the flintlock spear quickly, he drove the camp and prepared to set off.

His reaction was already very fast. Within an hour after receiving the Zezhou emergency document, he took a 100,000 army, but the 100,000 troops marched was not something that could get up quickly. It was just a few dozen tons of food and supplies. It wouldn't be enough if he didn't take you what you eat every day, how could you sleep at night? Is it just falling down and lying on the ground? That's all the plot in the drama. It's cold and cold. If you dare to let your soldiers sleep in the open, you probably won't be able to get up the next day!

Wang Jiayin led more than 100,000 troops and it took five or six days to march from Pingyang Prefecture to the nearby Zezhou. The Taiyuan Prefecture is separated from Qinzhou and Lu'an Prefecture. It is impossible to reach within ten days and half a month.

Speaking of which, Wang Jiayin finally found out that he had fallen into a trap after five or six days of persuading surrender in Yangcheng. On the sixth day, everything was settled, but Yangcheng had no movement at all. Not to mention opening the city to surrender, he had no reply. He didn't know that he was using a delaying strategy, so he would be a pig.

Wang Jiayin was naturally not a pig, he was the famous King of Fugu. After finding out that he was trapped, he immediately sent a scout cavalry all the way north to investigate the movements in Taiyuan. As expected, the scout cavalry would return the next day. The governor of Shanxi Lu Xiangsheng led an army of 100,000, less than three days away from Yangcheng!

He was not panicked after learning the news. He was just a hundred thousand new recruits, so what was there to be afraid of? He summoned his generals to the commander's tent, informed him of the situation, and then said proudly: "Let's talk about it, how to deal with this Lu Xiangsheng."

Even "tidying up", which shows how contempt he looked at Lu Xiangsheng's 100,000 men and the generals did not show any panic expressions. They just put down their hoes, but they really didn't know what to be afraid of.

The reason why Hong Chengchou cannot defeat Hong Chengchou in Shaanxi is that Hong Chengchou is full of border soldiers who have experienced many battles. As for the guards, they have been cleaning up more than 100,000 in recent years.

As soon as Wang Jiayin spoke, the Zijinliang King replied immediately: "King, although Lu Xiangsheng is full of new recruits, we cannot take it lightly. If the casualties are too great, it will affect our future development. There is still a Yangcheng to attack in front of us."

After hearing this, Wang Jiayin thought for a while and nodded, "Well, what I said makes sense. Although Lu Xiangsheng is a new recruit, there are still 100,000 people. If we fight head-on, we will have at least 50,000 casualties. In addition, the losses from the siege are too great. It is probably difficult for us to recover our vitality and need to use a trick to deal with Lu Xiangsheng."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yingxiang, the king of Investigation, said again: "King, it is a taboo for military strategists to attack the world. In the past, Duke Mu of Qin did not listen to Jian Shu's advice. The troops attacked the world, which resulted in the defeat of the Qin army. Lu Xiangsheng did not understand the art of military strategy and rushed over from Taiyuan. He had been marching for more than ten days in a row. The soldiers must be exhausted. We can attack him while he was camping and he will be able to easily take him down."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiayin pleaded with his hands and praised: "Yingxiang's plan is very good. We are waiting for the enemy's troops to attack far away. It will be impossible to deal with them. Well, everyone will come and see where they will camp."

After saying that, he got up and walked towards the map hanging on the side, and the generals also surrounded him.

After watching for a while, Wang Jiayin laughed and said, "Hahaha, here is the north of Yangcheng, along with the mountains and water, which is an excellent place to camp. There are many mountains in other places, but there is no water. Lu Xiangsheng must have camped here."

Gao Yingxiang looked at the place where Wang Jiayin pointed, and nodded and said, "The king is right. This place is more than ten miles away from Yangcheng, just right, and it is convenient to get water. It is an excellent place to camp. Lu Xiangsheng must camp here."

The generals stepped forward and looked at it, nodded and agreed. Seeing this, Wang Jiayin stopped hesitating and immediately returned to the position of commander and said loudly: "The generals obey the order."

Everyone hurried back to their position and stood solemnly.

Seeing that the generals were determined, Wang Jiayin continued to whisper: "Linger and then moved all their troops to the north of Yangcheng before Shenshi today, and stationed on both sides of the camp in the north of the city."

The generals bowed and said in unison: "The last general obeys the order."

Wang Jiayin waved his hand and said, "Everyone goes down and prepare."

When the generals heard this, they bowed down one by one, returned to the camp, packed up the stove, and drove the camp to the north of the city to station.
