Chapter 113 Jin Shenghuan is defeated

Jin Shenghuan raised his head and saw that the sun was a little bit poisonous. With his helmet on his head, he felt like he was in a steamer. It was almost May and it was the middle of the day. Naturally, people felt that the heat was unbearable. When he looked back, he saw that the soldiers under his command were unbearable.

They were all sweating profusely, so they gave the order: "Go down here and rest on the spot. It won't be too late to get out of the sun before we can start our journey again."

"yes."

Jin Shenghuan gave an order, and the soldiers stopped their horses to rest. Jin Shenghuan was surrounded by his soldiers under a big tree. The large branches were thick with leaves, covering the surrounding space of several feet. Jin Shenghuan came to a shady place.

Just breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where did this Yang Shengzu go?" Jin Shenghuan heard the sound of the cicada's first call and felt a little depressed in his heart.

Although he had no intention of really competing with Yang Shengzu, but now he couldn't even touch Yang Shengzu's tail, which made him a little depressed. But then he put aside the thoughts about Yang Shengzu. He was more thinking

Where will you go?

"Being under Ma Shiying's command, I'm not a direct descendant, so I can't bear to be important. I just want to return to Master Zuo, but it's not an easy task. Do I have to go to Master Qiu's place to take shelter for a while? But I don't know if Master Qiu can do it.

Take me in?"

The Master Qiu that Jin Shenghuan was thinking of was none other than Qiu Lei.

Qiu Lei and Zuo Liangyu are close friends. When Zuo Liangyu committed a crime, Qiu Lei took the blame for Zuo Liangyu and almost died. If it weren't for the good relationship between Qiu Lei and Zuo Liangyu, Hou Xun would not have

So many old ministries did not support him, but only supported Qiu Lei.

Xuzhou and Shandong are only separated by a river at this time. Crossing the Yellow River is Shandong. If Jin Shenghuan wants to defect to Qiu Lei, he must take action now.

But Jin Shenghuan felt a little uncomfortable wherever he went.

"However, we need a suitable excuse to go to Master Qiu. What excuse should we use?" Jin Shenghuan pondered to himself.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is still here, and many things must be justified, such as the transfer of Jin Shenghuan's troops. He was originally sent by Zuo Liangyu to support Hou Xun, but he was intercepted by Ma Shiying halfway, but Ma Shiying also wrote to the court.

This side nodded, even if Jin Shenghuan was unwilling in every possible way, he had to admit this.

He wanted to defect to Qiu Lei, but he also wanted to see if Qiu Lei was willing to accept it and whether he had the ability to withstand Ma Shiying's pressure. After all, in the court, the civilian supervisor and the chief military officer were two different words.

right.

Just when he was thinking of an excuse, it hit the door.

When Yang Shengzu, who was lying in ambush, saw that Jin Shenghuan's troops were so lax, he naturally launched an attack without saying a word.

Thousands of horse teams rushed out from the reed swamps. The sound of horse hooves and shouts of death shook the sky.

beat

Jin Shenghuan was caught off guard.

For a moment, Jin Shenghuan felt cold all over his body. Without saying a word, he got on his horse and said, "Withdraw."

He had no intention of fighting Yang Shengzu and ran away.

The cavalry had no formation at all and entered the battle in a hurry. Even if Jin Shenghuan ran, he did not escape the ambush circle, and a melee broke out in an instant. However, Jin Shenghuan was Jin Shenghuan after all, and his ability to escape was first-class. Jin Shenghuan was from Liaodong.

When Hou Jin went south on a large scale, Jin Shenghuan's entire family was captured, but he escaped alone from Hou Jin's arrest at that time.

It can be seen that it was a messy battle. Although Jin Shenghuan was completely defeated, he still gathered more than 3,000 people by his side.

In the evening, the setting sun was as bright as blood. Jin Shenghuan's helmet was lost somewhere. After counting the number of people, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Shengzu, I will remember you."

"Sir, what should we do now?" Jin Shenghuan's men were in a panic and surrounded him.

Jin Shenghuan swept his eyes and said: "Now we must not go back to Xiayi. We have suffered such a defeat. Ma Shiying has always disliked us and doesn't know how to deal with us, so we can't go back to Xiayi. The Shandong General Soldier is

He is a close friend of the Marshal, let’s go join him and avoid him for a while.”

When Jin Shenghuan said this, everyone naturally obeyed the order. After all, Jin Shenghuan was very uncomfortable under Ma Shiying. After all, it was also a matter of factions in the court. Zuo Liangyu started his career because of Hou Xun and Hou Xun.

Xun and even Hou Xun's father were important figures in Donglin, but Ma Shiying was from Guiyang, and his revolt was due to Ruan Dacheng, who was also on good terms with Lu Jiude, and was considered a proper eunuch in the eyes of Donglin people.

Even if Ma Shiying did not take Jin Shenghuan seriously, the people around Ma Shiying would not be very kind to Jin Shenghuan's subordinates.

This is why Jin Shenghuan always wanted to leave.

The defeat at this time gave Jin Shenghuan his last excuse.

If one side is defeated, the other side will naturally win.

Yang Shengzu naturally held a grand celebration banquet, and the guests at the banquet were not only his meritorious officials, but the most important one was Cheng Jikong.

Cheng Jikong was born into a wealthy family. A few years ago, he was robbed by bandits. He went to the government to complain. However, at this time, the government had no ability to control the bandits. They just appeased the problem. Cheng Jikong said angrily: "Since others

You don’t care if you rob me, then you don’t care if I rob someone else.”

So he set up a pole to dominate one side, contacted dozens of villages, and once conquered the county seat of Xiao County. Therefore, as soon as Yang Shengzu entered Xuzhou, he got into trouble with Cheng Jikong. With the help of Cheng Jikong, Yang Shengzu was able to thrive in Xuzhou.

, so that Jin Shenghuan could not touch his tail, and even bit Jin Shenghuan hard.

"Master Cheng Village." Yang Shengzu picked up the wine glass and said, "I will do today's business first as a token of respect. Thank you Master Cheng Village for your help."

Then he picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

"Okay. The rebels in the world are one family, so why should they be separated from each other?" Cheng Jikong immediately picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Cheng Jikong was dressed like a scholar. It was natural. Although his Cheng family was not from a scholarly family, they were by no means illiterate, otherwise they would not have been named Jikong.

The two of them drank a bowl together.

Then they laughed loudly, and the two drank a few bowls of wine with their subordinates respectively, and then left the table. If the two of them didn't leave, the subordinates might not be happy with the drink. As soon as the two left, the people below immediately started to behave wildly.

.make a fuss.

At this moment, the secret conversation between Yang Shengzu and Cheng Jikong had just begun.

"Brother Cheng, it's so comfortable for you to have a foundation in Xuzhou." Yang Shengzu said: "You can even camp dozens of villages, and there are no princes on one side."

"Brother Yang, where are you talking?" Cheng Jikong sighed and said, "How can we survive these days if we don't do this?"

Yang Shengzu's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Cheng, did you ever know that King Chuang proclaimed himself emperor in Xiangyang?"

"I can't even think about such a big thing," Cheng Jikong said.

"Then do you want to make a fortune?" Yang Shengzu looked at Cheng Jikong's face with bright eyes and said.

Yang Shengzu had already thought about this matter when he contacted Cheng Jikong.

Without him, this is too many precedents.

It is almost the basic model of the rebel army. Not only did Cao Ying do this, even if he broke into the camp, but Xian Ying also did this. Everywhere he went, he cooperated with the locals. Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is full of wars, and resistance is inevitable everywhere.

People from the government.

If this were not the case, the rebel army would have collapsed long ago after losing so many battles. It would have been supplemented by a steady stream of local bandits and hungry people. Basically, the rebel army could hold on despite repeated defeats.

After Yang Shengzu left Zhang Xuan, he thought about doing something big.

Not for Zhang Xuan, but for myself.

Zhang Xuan is Luo Rucai's son-in-law no matter what, but he knows how much Luo Yujiao is favored by Luo Rucai. If Zhang Xuan is unscathed even if something happens, he probably won't be able to easily pass Luo Rucai's test, so he

You must act like you are working very hard to rescue Zhang Xuan.

To create a big momentum, Yang Shengzu’s own troops alone are not enough.

But the Xuzhou area is not a Taiping territory. Although Cheng Jikong is the leader of the rebels in the Xuzhou territory, it does not mean that there are no other poles besides Cheng Jikong. He estimates that in Xuzhou alone, two or three people can pull out

Ten thousand poles, it’s still OK.
