Chapter 1409
Except for the hundreds of heads outside Baofeng City, there is no sound. I am afraid that Sun Chuanting has led his troops to leave. Ying Yi thought for a moment, then turned to Jiaxian.
Since Baofeng has gone through a big battle, presumably Ruzhou has also been broken by the official army. Where is the next battlefield?
There is nothing else except Jiaxian County.
Jia County passes through Yuzhou in Kaifeng, where there is also Yuan Zongdi, a thief. And to the south of Yuzhou is Xiangcheng, it is impossible to say that Ying Yi's soldiers and horses must also be involved this time.
There is a persimmon garden outside Jiaxian County. I don’t know which landlord’s property belongs to. However, the world is in chaos and this persimmon garden has long been abandoned.
Maybe the owner of the persimmon garden died in the hands of the thief.
The sky became more gloomy and the air was dull. Ying Yi came to the persimmon garden and looked at the company outside the persimmon garden through the sparse branches and leaves for a long time.
This is the camp of the official army.
On the big banner erected at the gate, a big "sun" character confirms Ying Yi's previous guess.
Sun Chuanting.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were two powerful characters surnamed Sun. One was Sun Chengzong, a veteran of several dynasties and the emperor of Apocalypse, and the other was Sun Chuanting.
Sun Chengzong is dead, and now there is only one Sun Chuanting left.
The large camp outside the persimmon garden stretches, and it is clearly visible with Ying Yi’s eyesight. Judging from the scale of the large camp, Sun Chuanting’s force does not exceed 40,000.
Sun Chuanting is a capable man, there is no doubt about it-he was released from prison by Emperor Chongzhen at the beginning of the year, and he took nothing except Shengming. After only half a year in Guanzhong, he gathered tens of thousands of people. People's soldiers and horses can't be done without any superiority.
Sun Chuanting had several ups and downs due to his violent personality. At the beginning, he was ordered to kill the thief and entered the pass alone. He farmed for a short period of time to gather grain. After he developed, he almost killed Li Chuang with one blow. Now that he is back, if he is given some more time, he may not be able to replicate his original results.
But unfortunately, Emperor Chongzhen urged him too tightly.
There is no alternative.
The northern Tartars became more and more rampant, and Ning Jin lost everything. Only one Mountain and Sea Trial is left on the Great Ming side. While the thieves raged, the Central Plains fell, blocking the north and south, and even the ancestral tomb of Emperor Chongzhen and the Fengyang Emperor's Tomb were plucked several times.
How can this not make Chongzhen impatient?
It was in this situation that Sun Chuanting dispatched troops in a hurry.
In the camp, Sun Chuanting is discussing tactics with several generals under his command.
"The official took the order of the emperor, since he sent his troops to Tongguan, he like a hot knife through butter. But for thousands of miles in Henan Chidi, tens of thousands of army provisions are unsustainable, so you must do it quickly." Sun Chuanting is small in stature. , His face is dark, unlike a high official, but like a farmer, but he is strong and decisive, very convincing.
Although Sun Chuanting has a strong personality, he is not without means. He revived this time and as soon as he arrived in Guanzhong, he won the military power of the remnants of Guanzhong. In particular, the general soldier He Renlong was the most evil. He was good at running and was known as the long-legged general. In the event of a war, this person often ran the fastest, no worse than Zuo Liangyu's.
Sun Chuanting went to Guanzhong and directly beheaded He Renlong and promoted Gao Jie on the grounds of discussion, so that the general power was in his hands.
Gao Jie was originally a thief. Still Li Chuang's confidant. However, this person committed adultery with Li Chuang's wife and kidnapped Li Chuang's wife to surrender to the army, and therefore had a big feud with Li Chuang. Sun Chuanting started Gao Jie.
Sun Chuanting arrived at Guanzhong at the beginning of the year, gathered up the remnants, recruited soldiers, and rigged his troops. According to his idea, he would not be able to send troops until at least next year. But Emperor Chongzhen repeatedly urged, and Sun Chuanting had no choice but to start the war in a hurry.
Half a month ago, Sun Chuanting went out of Tongguan. While spreading to the Quartet, hoping to get the cooperation of allies, he rushed forward quickly, defeating the thief general Li Yangchun who was left behind in Luoyang with lightning speed, and from Li Yangchun. He got a lot of news from his mouth, so he led troops to the south, broke Baofeng first, punished Chen Kexin, the state animal husband appointed by Li Zicheng, and rushed to Tian Jianxiu in a battle outside Baofeng and won.
Then chasing Tian Jianxiu to Jiaxian County, due to lack of people and horses, he set up camp outside the persimmon garden to rest.
Soldiers can rest, but Sun Chuanting cannot.
He called Gao Jie, Zuo Ming, Zheng Jiadong, Niu Chenghu and other generals together to discuss tactics in the big account.
"Tian Jianxiu, this thief is already a stray dog, but Yuzhou also has a thief, and the thief is also moving. News has been sent from Kaifeng, and the thief heard that the official has left Tongguan and has abandoned Kaifeng. Come here with my own army." Sun Chuanting said: "I intend to wait for the thieves to arrive, and then in a spurt of energy, do it quickly."
Sun Chuanting's strategy is extremely risky. But the generals under his command all knew that this was helpless.
Provisions are not good, only this way can go.
If there is a delay, wait for the provision to be exhausted, and you will collapse without fighting.
Sun Chuanting is also forced. Emperor Chongzhen urged too eagerly, he himself thought about developing for a while, but Sun Chuanting could not do this.
He has repeatedly lost the trust of Emperor Chongzhen.
After some discussion, so and so, deciding on the tactics, and just waiting.
Ying Yi observed Sun Chuanting's army, and then retreated silently. Ying Yi had the idea of seeing Sun Chuanting, but he finally suppressed it.
Sun Chuanting is indeed a capable person. Because of this, Ying Yi wanted to see him. But similarly, Ying Yi couldn't see him either.
Because Sun Chuanting is the last pillar of the Ming court.
This pillar must fall!
If Sun Chuanting does not fall, after breaking the thief, Ying Yi will most likely be controlled by Sun Chuanting. This does not meet Ying Yi's needs.
Ying Yi is not to help Ming, but to replace her.
He was afraid that after seeing Sun Chuanting, he couldn't help but help him.
Leaving the persimmon orchard, Ying Yi was optimistic about the terrain and boarded a mountain east of Jiaxian County.
"Sun Chuanting's army has reached this point. It seems that Tian Jianxiu has suffered a big loss. In this way, the thief will never ignore it." Ying Yi sat on the top of the mountain, looking at the sky, thinking to herself: "Maybe The thief will come here personally, and I’ll watch it right here, and I will give him a chance!"
I thought: “If the thief moves, Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Wu will definitely do it. What would they do if they noticed it?"
Ying Yi couldn't help but want to see if the generals under her command have the ability to lead the army alone.
"For me, it doesn’t matter whether you win the thieves or win, Sun Chuanting can’t win. If Sun Chuanting wins, once Kaifeng’s siege is overcome, do I have to draw water with a bamboo basket?" Ying Yi most wanted What is important is that Kaifeng is a commoners of millions of households.
The important task of rescuing Kaifeng can only be undertaken by Ying Yi herself.
"Sun Governor...I'm sorry..."
Ying Yi didn't even think about digging a hole for Sun Chuanting because it was unnecessary. In his memory, in the original history, Sun Chuanting won first and then lost. As long as he doesn't intervene, the thief's winning rate is still greater.
For many things in the late Ming Dynasty, Ying Yi didn't know the details, but they were generally clearer. Specific to a certain person, unless he is very famous, otherwise he may not know it. But if there are some major events, Ying Yi knows about it.
