Over there, Hong Jinglai conquered Suchuan, and here Jin Zhichun also led the army into Shun'an.

The magistrate of Shun'an County was in panic all day long. When he suddenly heard that the governor's ambassador Jin Zhichun was leading an army of more than 7,000 soldiers, he jumped three feet high with joy. Originally, he couldn't even think about how to face Hong Jinglai and how to express his support for the new emperor.

Well, now that Jin Zhichun has arrived, everything will go smoothly, and he can be Li Wei's loyal minister with peace of mind.

Looking at the neat ranks of training soldiers from a distance, the magical arrows and victory blunderbuss carried in the ranks are indeed "powerful", and then looking at Jin Zhichun's majesty of strategizing and winning a battle thousands of miles away, I can't help but feel great in my heart.

Certainly.

Immediately take the county officials, village elders, and township team members in the city to meet Jin Zhichun and his army in the suburbs!

Jin Zhichun had no intention of dealing with such low-level officials. He just wanted to know where Hong Jinglai's main movement was. After drinking a glass of wine from the Shun'an County magistrate, he immediately ordered him to quickly dispatch a local guide to lead the cruising sentinel to conduct northward reconnaissance.

The training camp army was currently encamped outside the city, and they friendly accepted the rice wine, beef and chicken offered by the people in the city. Jin Zhichun then entered the city to set up an office and sent people to maintain contact with Liu Xiaoyuan and Li Shangxian. The three routes moved forward together.

Going north, there is also the possibility of being defeated one by one, so we have to be on guard.

After handling the large and small affairs, Jin Zhichun rubbed his temples and sighed bitterly that it was really not easy to be a commander-in-chief, especially a commander-in-chief with a large army in the feudal era. He not only had to deal with his own complicated military affairs, but also took into account the various affairs of the Hanyang court.

Fang's attitude caused Jin Zhichun to have a big head and two big heads.

However, I also thought that if Hong Jinglai's rebellion could be extinguished this time, then his reputation as the number one civilian commander in the contemporary military might be confirmed. By then, he might also be awarded the posthumous title of "Zhongwu", which would directly catch up with Li

The posthumous title of Shun Chen. Even in China next door, only gods like Prime Minister Zhuge, King Guo Fenyang, and King Yue'e could pursue the posthumous title.

In an instant, I felt full of motivation again!

Before he could lie down, the magistrate of Shun'an County came to see him with a Confucian scholar, saying that he had news about Suchuan. Jin Zhichun was waiting, and without any displeasure, he immediately summoned him. The Confucian scholar had escaped from Suchuan.

At that time, Suchuan County Magistrate Dasuo was in the city, recruiting civilians to climb the city to defend Hong Jing's army. The Confucian scholar was ordered to go out of the city and ask for help from Jin Zhichun who was far away in Pingjing.

As a result, before he ran far out of the city, he heard the cheers of the rebels ringing in the city, and the red flag representing Hong Jinglai's escort general was planted on the top of Suchuan's city.

With no other choice, the Confucian scholar had no choice but to continue running to Pingjing, preparing to pray to the governor and ambassador Jin Zhichun to lead his troops to recover his hometown. Unexpectedly, Jin Zhichun had already sent troops to the north, and happened to be intercepted by the Shun'an County Magistrate in Shun'an City and brought to Jin Zhichun.

.

After hearing the Confucian scholar's report, Jin Zhichun walked slowly in the hall, thought for a while, and then asked the Confucian scholar whether it was Hong Jing who came in person, a famous general under his command, or Zhao Wanyong who came to attack the city.

How many are there, whether there are big blunderbuss, and how many shotguns there are.

The Confucian scholars didn't see so many things when they ran out of the city. They only knew that there were two big flags in the attacking team, one was "Controlling Envoy Hong" and the other was "Guarding Army". It must be Hong Jing who came in person. As for other issues,

That was something that he, a country scholar, could not understand clearly.

He didn't get enough answers, but it was enough to know that Hong Jinglai was dozens of miles away from him. Jin Zhichun lost his sleepiness and simply sat up, waiting for the patrol sent out to report back the news about Hong Jinglai.

As if to cooperate with him, after nightfall, a sentinel ran back and reported to him that Hong Jinglai had made an announcement to calm the people in Suchuan, free the slaves, and waive all rice debts for famine relief.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the city? Have you ever found out?" Jin Zhichun was mainly concerned about the number of people under Hong Jinglai's command.

Previously, various sources of information gathered that there were thousands of people, and some said that there were ten thousand people. As for the suicide note of Jiashan County Governor Zheng, who died for the country and his family was killed, it said that Jiashan Han bandits had two thousand people, and Tieshan Hongni had four thousand people.

.This is a first-hand report from a war zone, and it is a report from such a loyal minister, so its credibility is quite high. Of course, there must be a lot of cannon fodder and civilians in it, and this is the same for everyone.

"The younger ones dare not approach the city, but the thieves are divided into two groups, one is inside the city and the other is outside the city. There are about four thousand people outside the city." The sentry replied truthfully.

"Pass it to Shun'an County!" After hearing the report, Jin Zhichun gave the Shun'an County magistrate another try.

"Shun'an County, I would like to ask you, how wide is the city of Suchuan, and how many troops and horses can it accommodate?"

"There are about four thousand people in Suchuan City within a few miles. It would be impossible to have more people." The Shun'an County Magistrate knew the size of Suchuan City next door.

"Then, the number of enemies on the opposite side is at most eight thousand..." When Jin Zhichun heard that the number in front of him was almost the same as he had expected, Jin Zhichun nodded, knowing what he had in mind.

The two sides are now competing for the peripheral towns north of Pingjing. They are fighting back and forth. Small-scale battles have occurred frequently, but neither side seems to be ready for an all-out decisive battle.

Hong Jinglai did not abandon the towns and went straight to Pingjing!

Jin Zhichun did not wait for Hong Jing to attack Pingjing!

Where are the fighter planes? Jin Zhichun began to recall what he had read about "The Art of War" and "The Six Taoist Strategies". When he was about to collide with the enemy head-on, should he continue to move forward with encouragement, or should he hold on and hold on.

After all, Jin Zhichun still couldn't make a decision because he had never actually fought a war. Moreover, most of his shogunate was composed of children of the Andong Jin clan. They were responsible for handling documents and military aircraft, and there were no senior generals worth mentioning. These people naturally

There was no qualified adviser, so I could only watch Jin Zhichun pace blankly.

"Since the enemy and our armies are very different, and it is difficult for the commander to make a decision, we should do nothing else but strengthen the defense of Shun'an City!" A voice that was not too loud came from the corner.

"Yeah! Keep talking!" Jin Zhichun finally heard a feasible suggestion.

"As the saying goes, division of strength leads to weakness. Order the prisoner to march north in three ways at this time. One army alone will only compete with Hong Ni. If the troops stop, they should recall the two armies. If they advance, they should make an appointment to meet up and fight Suchuan together!" That!

The principal continued.

"What are you calling me for?" Although Jin Zhichun didn't get the answer he wanted, he still felt that the young man in front of him was good.

"One hundred households in the final general training camp are all brave stars!" The young general announced his family name loudly.

"Very good! From now on, you will serve as the flag officer of the central camp of this army, and you will be at your disposal at any time in front of the tent!" Jin Zhichun gestured to Quan Yongxing.

"The general will get the order!"

Just as Quan Yongxing saluted and stood up, another sentry ran back from outside.
Chapter completed!
