Chen Wang naturally knew nothing about what happened in Xingping County.
When marching inland, auxiliary soldiers and livestock were used to transport the weight of the armaments. The speed of the march more than doubled, after several days of rapid marching.
They have arrived at Pizhou City again, and a few rogue cavalry have appeared outside Pizhou City.
However, they did not engage in battle. They just saw the rogue cavalry wandering outside the city and fled away.
Pizhou is located between mountains, with Pizhou as the center and only three official roads.
One leads northwest to Pingliang Mansion.
One leads to Sanshui to the northeast, but this road is quite narrow.
The other one goes all the way south, passing through the three cities of Yongshou, Mulingguan and Qianzhou. After leaving Qianzhou, it enters the vast Guanzhong Plain.
This road is winding and long, with many high mountains and rugged terrain.
The shortest way to Chunhua is actually via Sanshui City and then south to Chunhua. However, no one dares to go to the official road to the northeast because it is difficult to guarantee whether the rogue bandits will set up an ambush between the two mountains.
Therefore, the plan after receiving the military order was that Zuo Liangyu temporarily stationed troops in Pizhou, and Cao Wenzhao led his troops south to move in for reinforcements.
Hong Chengchou had already sent more than a thousand of his flag-supervising cavalry to assist Chunhua. At the same time, he also recruited many auxiliary troops from various cities and villages, and ordered people to rush to make many flags overnight.
Those auxiliary soldiers were used as soldiers and stationed in one place.
However, Hong Chengchou did not really place his hopes on the auxiliary soldiers who were just strong men not long ago. He ordered people to rush out the banners, including large banners.
The troops were stretched thin, so Hong Chengchou's response was to bluff and set up ambushes.
The auxiliary soldiers carried the banners and banners of generals such as You Shiwei, Tang Jiuzhou, and Chen Yongfu, and then marched into Chunhua and Xingping in a swaggering manner.
Although Hong Chengchou's method seems simple, it does have results.
The forward cavalry of Qingyang Prefecture had already arrived at Chunhua City, but when they saw Tang Jiuzhou's flag, they retreated to Sanshui City.
Tang Jiuzhou was also a fierce general. Not only did he lead a lot of elite cavalry, but the soldiers under his command were also equipped with a lot of firearms.
He once defeated Tianxing in Wucheng Town, beheaded 420 people, defeated Wu Suan, and repeatedly defeated the bandits with Zuo Liangyu and others.
If the fear of rogue bandits is graded, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao, and Cao Bianjiao can be ranked at the top, and the rogue bandits all flee.
He Renlong, Qin Liangyu, Tang Jiuzhou, Zuo Liangyu, and others can be ranked in the second level. Everyone who sees them is as silent as a cicada, and will collapse when the enemy is encountered.
Ai Wannian, Liu Chenggong and others were in the third echelon. They were all frightened when fighting with them, and quickly fled away at the slightest headwind.
It was said at that time: There was a Cao Cao in the army, and the thieves were frightened when they heard about it. Secondly Zuo Liangyu and Tang Jiuzhou; Ruo Jing camp soldiers, the thieves are very light.
As soon as the army was stationed at the foot of the city, Chen Wang received a summons from Cao Wenzhao.
The army has its own rules for encamping in the plains, and the locations of each department and department are fixed. Chen Wang walked into the Chinese army's tent with ease and familiarity.
"Chen Wang, a low-ranking official, meets the general!"
Chen Wang walked into the tent and found that not only Cao Wenzhao was in the camp, but Zuo Liangyu was also in the camp.
"See Commander Zuo."
Chen Wang lowered his head slightly and saluted again.
However, there is a clear distinction between superior and subordinate in the army, and etiquette must be followed.
Chen Wang knows nothing about Zuo Liangyu in history.
In the early stage, Zuo Liangyu was not considered arrogant. Although he was arrogant and self-willed, he listened to both tunes and announcements most of the time.
At that time, Zuo Liangyu's only shortcoming was that he was "very lenient in controlling the crowd" and his army's military discipline was not good. Zuo Liangyu also allowed his troops to loot.
But the turning point when he truly became arrogant and self-willed, arrogant based on his achievements, domineering and uncontrollable, and supported his troops in the later period, all began in the eleventh year of Chongzhen.
In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Zuo Liangyu defeated Zhang Xianzhong and wanted to kill him, but Xiong Wencan wanted to appease him.
Zuo Liangyu and Xiong Wencan were at odds with each other, and the conflict between the two intensified again. Soon after, Zhang Xianzhong surrendered and was sentenced again, and Xiong Wencan recruited Zuo Liangyu to suppress the army.
This time Zuo Liangyu suffered a defeat, all military symbols and seals were lost, more than ten million military assets were abandoned, and tens of thousands of soldiers died.
Afterwards, he was demoted three levels in a row for the crime of advancing lightly.
At the end of the eleventh year, a mutiny broke out in Xuzhou. Zuo Liangyu's family was resettled in Xuzhou and was wiped out in the mutiny.
Zuo Liangyu's transformation and self-respect began from this.
"Your Qianhu confession has come down."
With a smile on his face, Cao Wenzhao pointed at the seal on the table and said with a smile.
"The military gate has ordered you to rush to Chunhua to consolidate the troops to guard against Qingyang bandits and defend Chunhua County."
Chen Wang suppressed the excitement in his heart, but he did not forget what he should say and said in a deep voice immediately.
"Thank you General for your support!"
Cao Wenzhao stepped forward to help him, and Chen Wang also stood up.
"As expected, all of Brother Cao's men have a heroic spirit!"
Zuo Liangyu sat aside and said with a smile.
"Now that I have taken up the position of General Qian as the temporary battalion officer, as long as I make a few more contributions, it will not be a problem to be promoted to a guerrilla. In the future, I will not be able to become a deputy general or commander in chief."
Zuo Liangyu stood up, faced Chen Wang, cupped his hands and smiled again.
Although Zuo Liangyu is illiterate, he still seems to be quite measured in his speech.
"Thank you for the kind words from Commander Zuo, but I already rely on the support of the general to become Commander-in-Chief Qian. I really don't dare to hope for the positions of guerrilla and general officer."
Chen Wang did not hesitate, bowed slightly and returned the salute with his fists clasped.
Cao Wenzhao did not let the topic go too far, and quickly got back to business.
"The enemy army has approached Chunhua. Chunhua now only has 3,000 Xi'an Guardsmen, acting as suspects under the banner of Tang Jiuzhou."
"The order from the military gate is not only to gather the Liao soldiers, but also to integrate the troops to guard against the Qingyang bandits."
"The military order means that Chunhua's city defense will be handed over to you to take charge of. Do you understand?"
Chen Wang felt a little chilled in his heart. Cao Wenzhao had just mentioned Hong Chengchou's military order, but what he heard was a little unreal.
But when Cao Wenzhao repeated it again, Chen Wang heard it clearly this time.
This military order undoubtedly asked him to guard a city.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. When he logs into camp management, his superiors will definitely know his past. Just a few months ago, he was just a servant, but now he is asked to take charge of the military affairs of a city.
"This is an opportunity."
There was an inexplicable look in Cao Wenzhao's eyes.
"Whether you can control it or not is all in your hands!"
…
"History of the Ming Dynasty·Biography·161":
"Liangyu is an orphan, and he was raised by his uncle. He is so noble, but I don't know his mother's surname."
"He has a long body and a handsome face, is brave, and is good at shooting left and right. He does not know how to read and is very resourceful. He pleases the soldiers, so he is always successful in battle."
"...Zuo Liangyu used his bravery to frequently wipe out opera bandits, so he gathered strong troops and became arrogant. If he was slow, he would nourish the bandits to cause trouble; if he was anxious, he would abandon his armor and collapse."
"At that time, the generals were often blamed for not using their lives. However, the good jade was in trouble, and the punishment was not punished. The appeasement caused trouble, so the soldiers were called soldiers and violated the que without any care."
