Dominate Marvel

When Zheng Yunzhi heard this, he immediately stood up and said hurriedly: "Call in quickly."

Yu Jue and Ren Dong also looked at the door.

Then they saw a fierce soldier enter, beat their chests and clasped their fists with Zheng Yunzhi and said, "Your Excellency, good news from the first mountain!"

"Good news?!"

All three people in the room were startled.

Zheng Yunzhi said: "Come quickly."

After the night was over, the battle in Xiangcheng was reported: "There were thieves who combined Li Yan and Hong Niangzi and led 8,000 troops to the north of Xiangcheng County. Lord Ying led his troops to block the attack and defeated them. He beheaded Li Yan and Hong Niangzi, and captured a total of 100,000 soldiers. There were more than 5,500 leaders, and more than 2,400 people were captured. All kinds of ordnance and supplies are not included."

"ah!"

Yu Jue and Ren Dong were surprised.

Did he win another battle while talking? !

Zheng Yunzhi took it as usual and nodded slightly: "Does Ying Yi still have a letter to bring back?"

Ye Bushou said: "Master Ying asked the villain to bring back the head of the thief general, and also asked the county magistrate and Master Sun to send food as soon as possible."

Zheng Yunzhi nodded slightly: "Go back and tell Ying Yi, I already know. Someone will send food and grass to you soon."

"Here!"

When Ye Buqiu left, Yu Jue and Ren Dong could no longer hold back and said, "Bring the thief's head quickly and ask someone to check it out!"

Then he said to Zheng Yunzhi: "Another great achievement!"

Zheng Yunzhi smiled and said nothing.

The two supervisors did not come alone, they had their own followers. Among them, there were people who specialized in identifying the faces of thieves. They took the heads of Li Yan and Hong Niangzi and took a closer look. They were indeed good.

The supervisor was overjoyed, this was another military achievement!

Zheng Yunzhi smiled broadly, but sneered in her heart.

If these two supervisors were not required to testify, how could Zheng Yunzhi give him a smile?

He said: "There are many heads outside the city. Can the two supervisors take a look?"

The two supervisors smiled and said, "I was about to take a look."

So I went out of the city and saw a lot of human heads outside the city, which smelled bad in the sunshine.

Zheng Yunzhi said: "Because there are too many heads, tens of thousands of them, and not enough lime, we can only pickle the heads of thieves. Most of the heads of thieves are placed here. They stink and must be buried."

Yu Jue and Ren Dong both changed their expressions, their stomachs were churning, and they hurriedly said: "Go back to the city."

There was no more doubt in my mind.

Returning to the county government office, the two of them jointly wrote a memorial and asked someone to deliver it to the capital.

"Master Zheng can turn the tide, and the clouds here are about to rise." Yu Jue was quite envious, and even said affectionately: "As a brother, I have to congratulate Master Zheng first."

Ren Dong also quickly congratulated him.

Zheng Yunzhi didn't even dare to say: "I would like to borrow some good words from the two Shangguan officials."

Then he looked worried and said, "I don't want to go straight to the top. Now the bandits are strong, millions of them. Although the official selects good people from the captured people, and now the army has been increased to 10,000, he really can't say that he can fight against the bandits." After all, there was some luck in turning defeat into victory before."

Speaking of the intruder, Yu Jue and Ren Dong both smiled and became worried.

"It just depends on His Majesty's decision..."

...

In this era of war and chaos, it would take at least ten days and a half for Nanyang's report to reach the capital. For the time being, I'm afraid there will be no news.

Although Ying Yi was looking forward to this, he was not anxious.

He only trained troops in Xiangcheng, and every day was very busy and lively, as if he was afraid that others would not know.

Li Chuang was not blind and he knew it the next day.

I also learned that Li Yan's entire army was wiped out and died in defeat.

This time, Li Chuang was confused.

"The thief has arrived in Xiangcheng. He is in the heart of my heart. What should I do?" Li Zicheng hurriedly summoned his generals and gathered them together: "Li Yan is really a waste. I will give him 15,000 yuan." Thousands of elite soldiers died in one battle, which makes me angry!"

Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and other confidants in the hall secretly exchanged glances, and they all knew it well.

Where did the fifteen thousand elite soldiers come from?

Although what Niu Jinxing did was hidden from Li Chuang, everyone else knew about it and was secretly happy. Who made Li Yan unsociable and offended everyone?

Niu Jinxing bowed and said: "King Chuang, Li Yan's reputation is too great. Since he is dead, we won't talk about him. What matters now is the Ming thief in Xiangcheng."

"Li Yan lost his troops and generals, destroying my prestige. Now it is imminent to conquer Kaifeng, but the Ming thieves in Xiangcheng are making it difficult for me to sleep and eat well. If you have any ideas, please tell me quickly." Li Chuang said.

Niu Jinxing said: "Students think that we should send generals to lead troops to Xuzhou as a precaution. The most important thing right now is to conquer Kaifeng. Once Kaifeng is conquered, King Chuang will definitely gain momentum and attract investment from all directions. Moreover, the resources and food in the city are at your disposal. Wouldn’t it be nice to make a choice?”

"Having said that..." Li Chuang frowned: "Who is willing to lead troops to suppress Xuzhou?"

He glanced over, and Gao Yigong and others were speechless.

Song Xiance stood up at this time: "King Chuang, my student has a plan."

"Oh? Tell me quickly." Li Chuang said quickly.

Song Xiance asked: "Did King Chuang forget that Luo was in charge of the plate?"

Li Chuang was startled, then overjoyed: "You're right, you're right! Why did I forget Luo Rucai?"

Then his expression changed: "Did Luo Rucai ever know about the news about Nanyang?"

Niu Jinxing said: "I definitely don't know. King Chuang, all the news here has been concealed."

Li Chuang breathed a sigh of relief: "Luo Rucai is also cunning. If he knew that Xiangcheng Ming's bones were hard, he probably wouldn't have chewed them."

Everyone agreed.

Li Chuang said: "Since you don't know, it's easy to handle. Later, Niu Jinxing, you go see Luo Rucai and tell him that I want him to lead troops to Xuzhou. Let's see what he says."

"Yes, King Chuang."

Luo Rucai, nicknamed Cao Cao, had almost crossed paths with Ying Yi. When Li Guo led his troops to Nanyang and massacred Xiaowangzhuang on the way, he was following Li Chuang's order to greet Luo Rucai.

Luo Rucai was defeated in Huguang and his power was greatly damaged. He heard that Li Chuang was flourishing in the Central Plains, so he came to join him.

But Luo Rucai was used to being in charge of the affairs and did not want to be subordinate to others, so she had problems with Li Chuang. He is not a core figure of Li Chuang, and Li Chuang does not trust him.

But Niu Jinxing went to see Luo Rucai and persuaded Luo Rucai with his sharp tongue. Luo Rucai then led troops to Xuzhou, with more than 30,000 troops.

When Luo Ru first arrived, there were only more than ten thousand remaining soldiers. When he arrived in Kaifeng, the area was full of refugee vassals held hostage by Li Chuang, so he recruited young men and women from them, totaling more than 30,000 people.

In fact, this was also the reason why Li Chuang was afraid of him.

Luo Rucai took the initiative to surrender. It was not easy for Li Chuang to kill him. If he did, Li Chuang would think of Luo Rucai's fate when others came to seek refuge with him.

Just like when Li Zicheng wanted to kill Zhang Xianzhong before, he hesitated. In the end, Luo Rucai reported the news and allowed Zhang Xianzhong to escape.

And this is the second reason why Li Zicheng hates Luo Rucai.

Luo Rucai had been secretly paying attention to the developments in Xiangcheng County since he led troops to Xuzhou. When he discovered that Xiangcheng County had less than 10,000 troops, he was relieved. Anyway, Li Chuang only asked him to make preparations, not to fight. Eat and drink so much that I can stay in Xuzhou all day without leaving.

Ying Yi did not move for the time being, ignoring Xuzhou's Luo Rucai who was right in front of him.
