This time the military discussion was still Hong Chengchou's decision, and Sun Chuanting did not disagree with Hong Chengchou's opinions.
The two men are similar in rank, but the power in their hands is completely different. Sun Chuanting was only the governor of one province of Shaanxi, but Hong Chengchou was the governor of three sides of Shaanxi, and the governor of the military affairs of the three sides of Shaanxi.
The three sides are Gansu, Yansui and Ningxia. The generals, deputy generals and battalion generals of Yansui, Ningxia, Ganzhou, Guyuan and other military towns, as well as the governors of the three provinces, were all subject to Hong Chengchou's control.
Hong Chengchou had already prepared a plan in his mind. When he received a letter from Sun Chuanting that Gao Yingxiang had been surrounded in Heishui Valley, he had already thought about how to arrange the arrangements after Gao Yingxiang's death and wipe out the remaining bandits.
The military meeting did not take long, but it was already getting late when it was held, and it was almost dusk when the military meeting ended.
After the military meeting ended, Chen Wang followed a group of generals and commanders out of the Chinese military tent. The result was not beyond his expectation.
There was still no change in the place where he garrisoned troops, and they were still arranged in Hanzhong Mansion. Hong Chengchou asked him to continue to guard Hanzhong Mansion and garrison in the Xing'an area to prevent Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng and other troops who were currently trapped in Xun and Xiang from escaping westward.
When Gao Yingxiang entered Hanzhong Mansion, Chen Wang had already thought about the impact of Gao Yingxiang's death.
Gao Yingxiang's death will not have much impact on his station. So far, as long as Zhang Xianzhong and other troops are still in the Xuxiang area, he will stay in Hanzhong Mansion and will not be transferred elsewhere for the time being.
In the following years, there was constant turmoil in Hanzhong Mansion, and Hanzhong City was even threatened several times.
The biggest reason why Hanzhong Prefecture was classified as Shaanxi is actually because it is a barrier to Sichuan. If it is in the hands of Sichuan, then there will be a rebellion in the local area.
Without Hanzhong Mansion, the imperial court would undoubtedly spend a lot of effort to suppress the rebellion. Although Hanzhong Prefecture belongs to Shaanxi Province, the communication with other state capitals in Shaanxi Province is not very smooth in fact, and it is relatively independent.
Hanzhong is actually very far away from Xi'an Prefecture, Fengxiang Prefecture, or Gongchang Prefecture, and the roads into Hanzhong Prefecture from these places are also relatively rugged and difficult to navigate.
Therefore, in the current situation, Hanzhong Mansion needs someone who can take charge of it alone to guard it. And Hong Chengchou doesn't have many people he can use now.
Cao Wenzhao certainly could not be transferred. Hong Chengchou needed Cao Wenzhao to lead the various troops under his command to preside over the suppression.
Cao Bianjiao has enough prestige and is extremely brave, but the biggest problem is that he has always followed Cao Wenzhao to fight and has little experience in guarding one place.
Neither can He Renlong. He Renlong is from Mizhi, Shaanxi Province. Although he is very brave and experienced in many battles.
But he is also a good hand at fighting live. The so-called living war is actually the same as doing business. The officers, soldiers and bandits who launched the suppression campaign at the beginning were all Shaanxi people, even from the same hometown.
There are also some deserters and officers and soldiers who went into the suppression who came from the same team, and the relationship between the two parties is even closer.
When the two armies faced each other, they did not use weapons at all and even greeted each other. When the rogues saw the officers and soldiers approaching, they would leave the plundered animals and part of their baggage or gold and silver.
After the officers and soldiers collected the money and things, they immediately cleared the road and let the bandits go. This is what is called
"Fight the Living War." As for what the Tang newspaper wrote, it is naturally completely different from what actually happened. Putting He Renlong under his nose, He Renlong is still the crazy He who can fight and rush.
But if He Renlong is released to Hanzhong Mansion, only God knows everything. As the commander-in-chief, Zhang Quanchang could take charge of his own role, but he was captured after losing the previous battle.
Although he has now left the ranks of the bandits, he has been demoted to the border guard station and serves as a guard officer.
Not to mention the other generals and schools, they all have their own problems. Chen Wang's performance in Hanzhong Mansion was remarkable, so naturally Hong Chengchou would not be easily transferred again.
Chen Wang knew his identity and status very well, and he kept his previous experiences and Cao Wenzhao's advice in mind.
Now every step he takes is extremely cautious, and he makes decisions after careful consideration. These things are all within his scope of consideration.
Chen Wang was still thinking about what to do next and what arrangements he would make after returning to Hanzhong Mansion, but He Renlong's voice directly brought him back to reality.
"Hahaha, good boy, Lao Cao said you were good at fighting, but we didn't expect you to be so good." He Renlong walked up, put his hand directly on Chen Wang's shoulder, and said with a rough smile.
The old Cao in his mouth was naturally Cao Wenzhao, and the relationship between He Renlong and Cao Wenzhao was very good. The good relationship between the two began when Shaanxi entered the suppression campaign.
When He Renlong left in Pizhou, Cao Wenzhao said goodbye in person. But having said that, Cao Wenzhao seems to have a good relationship with everyone. No matter where he is, the governor is very caring about Cao Wenzhao.
Even Hong Chengchou, who had a dispute with Cao Wenzhao, now has a good relationship with Cao Wenzhao.
"Actually, it's mostly luck..." At this time, there were many generals around. Chen Wang felt the eyes of everyone and said modestly.
He Renlong was carefree and didn't care.
"It's a pity that the army was in such a hurry that I didn't even bring you some jars of good wine that I had hidden away. Otherwise, we, Lao He, would like to treat you to some drinks." Chen Wang glanced at the somewhat gray-faced He Renlong. , the armor on his body was old and damaged, and the color of his shirt was not as bright as before.
"Donkey Ball, we are really exhausted." He Renlong cursed and lowered his voice. Coming all the way from Yan'an Prefecture to Xi'an Prefecture, running through the starry night, how can one still be full of energy?
"The same goes for the military gate. We have just arrived at Heishui Valley and haven't even had time to rest. We have to break camp and go north again tomorrow. We are so annoyed." Hong Chengchou decided on the strategy and assigned the bandits entrenched in Shangluo area of Xi'an Prefecture to Sun Chuanting. Into the suppression.
Deputy Commander-in-Chief Luo Shangwen, Staff General Li Yuchun and other battalion soldiers, mostly infantry, were assigned to Sun Chuanting's command to help clear out the rogue bandits in the Shangluo area.
He Renlong, Zu Kuan and others followed Hong Chengchou and continued northward to suppress Li Zicheng who was still in Yan'an Prefecture.
Cao Wenzhao only had seven or eight thousand men left on his side, and now he could only maintain a defensive position temporarily, which was under huge pressure. Therefore, Hong Chengchou's military order was to set off at five o'clock tomorrow and rush north to Yan'an Prefecture.
There wasn't much time for rest at all. Chen Wang's eyelids twitched. He had just left the Chinese military tent and was not far away.
Although He Renlong lowered his voice, it was still loud. He Renlong is really bold, and Hong Chengchou is not a big-hearted person. If he really hears this, he may be scolded in the future.
Chen Wang suddenly felt a little lucky. Fortunately, he turned out to be Cao Wenzhao's servant. Cao Wenzhao had a good relationship with other generals and most of the civilian governors. Because of this, he was not embarrassed in official circles and even received a lot of benefits and benefits.
If I were a servant under He Renlong, I'm afraid Chunhua wouldn't even be able to go to Chunhua at that time, and someone would be stuck even if he was a guerrilla.
Chen Wang turned his head and glanced at Gao Jie, who was walking on the right rear. Gao Jie was now the camp officer under Hong Chengchou and also the camp general.
But Gao Jie, who had been following He Renlong throughout history, became a guerrilla general only after He Renlong was killed for a crime.
The same goes for Sun Shoufa. After surrendering to Cao Wenzhao, he accumulated merit and was promoted to guerrilla. Then I followed He Renlong and was stuck in the guerrilla position.
He Renlong's own official career was not going well, and he failed to win a tie with Zuo Liangyu as a thief general, so his achievements were obviously not bad.
Chen Wang subconsciously walked a little to the right. He was now sure that He Renlong was definitely remembered by Hong Chengchou.
"Stop talking, go ahead and celebrate the victory or something. Let's go back to the tent and get some sleep first." He Renlong patted Chen Wang on the shoulder, then strode straight towards the camp behind.
Chen Wang looked back at the military tent behind him, and then at He Renlong's back. There is a kind of little shoe that you don't even know you've worn it.
After He Renlong left, Chen Wang immediately went to Cao Bianjiao. Chen Wang is very clear about his identity. He is Cao Wenzhao's servant. This identity has many benefits for him, so he cannot give it up. He must follow all the etiquette.
Moreover, Cao Wenzhao had always been very kind to him. When he first became a camp general, Cao Wenzhao told him some insights on the art of war, troop training, and battle preparation.
Not to mention the rapid rise in the ranks along the way, successively serving as chief executive, general commander, guerrilla general, and then general. Although he had enough military merit to be promoted all the way, in fact, whether he could be promoted or not depends not only on his military merit.
He Renlong and Gao Jie are the best examples. There are talents in the government who can do things easily. To be able to achieve the position of general in Hanzhong, Cao Wenzhao must have helped a lot.
Later, I had problems. Thanks to Cao Wenzhao's advice, I was able to avoid being targeted by Hong Chengchou and successfully achieved my goal.
Cao Bianjiao is now much more stable than before. He no longer rejects people thousands of miles away as before, but even had a conversation with Chen Wang.
During this period, Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen also joined in. Cao Bianjiao had stayed in Liaodong for a long time, so he could naturally speak Liaodong dialect.
Chen Wang himself is from Liaodong, and the few people conversed in Liaodong dialect, and the atmosphere among them was quite harmonious.
Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen also accompanied Hong Chengchou to the north to suppress Li Zicheng. When Yu Chongxiao died in battle, most of the troops were taken in by Li Zicheng.
After Tianxing Hui Deng surrendered, Man Tianxing and Hun Tianxing were killed in the battle. Many of the tribes under the three men were scattered, and many of them switched to Li Zicheng's command.
Li Zicheng now has more than 100,000 people under his command. Although the number of troops seems small, there are many elites under his command, and their strength is not bad.
However, Chen Wang knew that although Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen were currently recruited to Yan'an Mansion, they would have to turn back halfway.
At this time of year, the news has not yet come. But the Hou Jin Dynasty should not be called the Qing Army now.
Because Huang Taiji had proclaimed himself emperor in Shengjing in April and changed the country's name to Qing. It is now July 17, and King Qin’s order is about to come from Beijing.
In the ninth year of Chongzhen, during the Bingzi Incident, the Qing army entered the Pass, conquered twelve cities, won fifty-six battles in a row, and entered the capital to threaten Beijing.
Lu Xiangsheng will be urgently transferred to Beijing soon. Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen were also on the list of King Qin's army. When they went north to Yan'an Prefecture, they had no choice but to go north to King Qin after receiving the transfer order.
Sometimes history is such a coincidence. The period after Gao Yingxiang's death was the best opportunity to completely wipe out the peasant army and clear the pass.
But it was precisely because of this edict from King Qin that all plans and efforts were ultimately in vain.
If Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen went north to Yan'an Prefecture, Li Zicheng might not be able to escape defeat, whether now or in history.
And Lu Xiangsheng blocked the Xuxiang pass, Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng and others might be trapped and die in the Xuxiang mountainous area.
But there are no ifs in this world. Chen Wang was very aware of the impact of this Qing army's entry into the Pass and King Qin's order.
What he wants to do now is to go south to Hanzhong Mansion as soon as possible. Although he had the miraculous feat of beheading Gao Yingxiang in this battle, I am afraid that at most he could only be promoted one level to become a deputy general, and at most he would be assigned a military position, and he could not go much higher.
Although military commanders only need to have military merit, it does not matter how old or experienced they are. But the imperial court would not let a person rise too quickly.
Originally, Chen Wang had the official position of Deputy Qianhu, so being promoted to guerrilla was not out of the ordinary. Later, after winning a series of great victories, he was promoted to participating general, which was also reasonable.
But if he is promoted to deputy commander now, the twenty-six-year-old deputy commander is indeed a bit too young, which is not a good thing.
Although Zhang Liwei and Wang Guozhong, who had assassinated Wang Jiayin, even directly skipped a series of guerrilla and general positions and were directly promoted to deputy generals.
However, the power in the hands of the two lieutenants was not too great, and his own lieutenant would become the deputy commander-in-chief of Hanzhong Mansion and the chief officer of the entire Hanzhong Mansion. This was a bit too much.
Chen Wang had already made a plan. After returning to Hanzhong Mansion this time, he decided to stay silent for now, try not to make too dazzling achievements, and focus on logistics and the army under his command.
In the next few months, Hanzhong Mansion remained in a stable state for the time being. Although there were still small groups of bandits making trouble, the invasion of large groups of bandits occurred next year.
Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng and other troops entrenched in the Xuxiang area will no longer go west to Hanzhong Prefecture. After Lu Xiangsheng was transferred from the north and led his troops to King Qin of Beijing, the peasant army in the Xunxiang area would turn from defense to offense, setting off another turbulent wave.
On the southern side of Zhili, the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo would also take advantage of the empty garrison strength of the Ming army to stir up a bigger storm.
But all that comes later. Chen Wang stopped, and everyone around him had already dispersed.
Chen Wang stood at the foot of Beishan, looking back in the direction of the Chinese army. There was one more thing he needed to do before going to Hanzhong Mansion.
He needs to use the power in Sun Chuanting's hands to lay the foundation for future development. ..."History of the Ming Dynasty·Biography·Volume 161·Zu Kuan"
"The border troops are strong and stupid, and they have different sexual orientations. They cannot be restrained."
"In the past, there were many people from Guanzhong, and many of the officers and soldiers worked hard with the bandits in the countryside before the battle. They threw away their lives and their baggage, and then left. This is called
"Fight the Living War." "
"The border troops cannot understand the language and kill the thieves whenever they see them, so they have many victories."
"However, the huts and houses were burned down, and the prostitutes relied on their merits to stop them... They thought they were guests and generals, and they had no intention of lasting."
