Chongzhen Chat Group

Chapter 422 Escape from the competition

Emperor Chongzhen didn't think much of it at first. He didn't know He Renlong, so he frowned and said, "Could it be that Hong Chengchou didn't announce your adoptive father's guerrilla status?"

If this is the case, then Lu Ruipeng is suspected of dereliction of duty. Therefore, he immediately expressed his position: "I heard Hong Zhongcheng announce with my own ears that the imperial court has named his adoptive father a guerrilla general."

Sun Chuanting was stunned. Why did this Dongchang fan actually claim to be a subordinate to the group leader? Could it be that the group leader is not a monk, but someone from Dongchang?

This thought flashed through his mind, but no matter what he did, he never imagined that the leader of the group would be the current emperor. At this time, he had a good impression of Zhang Xianzhong, so he explained: "Actually, this kind of thing is also common. Most of the officers and soldiers look down on thieves... people with a good background. In the same way, people who abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side will have a deep hatred of the officers and soldiers in their hearts." There will be some prejudices to some extent. Sometimes, some small conflicts are inevitable!”

When Zhang Dingguo saw it, he immediately responded: "We rebelled because we couldn't survive. If it weren't for those corrupt officials, wouldn't we be thieves!"

His words well confirmed what Sun Chuanting said just now. People who are born as thieves have hatred towards corrupt officials, or at least they will not have a good impression of them.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, his eyes suddenly lit up. Didn't Wen Tiren suggest sending some troops to Xue Guoguan, so that he could persuade him to donate more food?

So, after a moment's thought, he announced: "Let's do it this way. Liu Guoneng and Liu Guoji will be stationed in Dai County first, follow the command of Dr. Sun, and settle down. When the imperial decree arrives, he will take up his new station."

"Where is my adoptive father?" Zhang Dingguo asked immediately when he saw him.

Seeing how concerned he was, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile and said: "You and your foster father will lead your troops to the Xuan Mansion and obey the orders of your assistant Xue Guoguan."

Such an arrangement can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

First, Zhang Xianzhong transferred away from Dai County to avoid further conflicts with the officers and soldiers of the Yansui Army who were chasing them all the way.

Second, having Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Dingguo beside Xue Guoguan means that Xue Guoguan also has instant communication means to easily contact and understand the situation on Xue Guoguan's side.

Third, people like Zhang Xianzhong who were born as thieves did not have a good impression of the squires. If Xue Guoguan gave the order, there would be no hesitation and scruples like those regular Ming troops. They probably wished that Xue Guoguan had better force donations to every squire, and they would definitely try their best in this action.

When Zhang Dingguo heard this, he realized that Liu Guoneng was following Sun Chuanting, who had no idea what his official position was, while his adoptive father was working with the cabinet minister. This was a big promotion! You know, the cabinet ministers are similar to the prime ministers of the previous dynasty.

With this in mind, he immediately withdrew from the chat group and said to Zhang Xianzhong, who was sulking: "Father, the capital said that you should lead your troops to Xuan Mansion and follow the orders of Xue Guoguan, the assistant minister."

"What?" Zhang Xianzhong opened his mouth in surprise when he heard this, "You said he was an assistant minister?"

"Yes, cabinet minister!" Zhang Dingguo also looked excited and nodded to confirm.

After Zhang Xianzhong was confirmed, any doubts he had about the court's sincerity disappeared immediately and he was filled with joy. Later, he became a minister of the cabinet, which was much better than Sun Chuanting! He stood up excitedly. After walking back and forth, he suddenly stood still and said to Zhang Dingguo: "Hurry up and thank your adoptive father. Just say that your adoptive father will do your best to serve the court!"

After Zhang Dingguo heard this, he immediately re-entered the chat group and expressed his position according to Zhang Xianzhong's instructions. Emperor Chongzhen saw him and was about to say a few words of encouragement when Zhang Fengyi, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Our troops have caught up with the Datong army and lost more than half of their troops. Wu Xiang, the general of Datong, is safe and sound. More than 5,000 bandits have crossed. The Datong army fled to the north first. There were many thieves along the way, scattered in the mountains and forests."

This was really a chaotic battle. The Datong army fled first, followed by the bandits. But Wu Xiang and the others thought that the bandits behind them were chasing them, so they were so frightened that they ran north without stopping.

There were rogue infantry troops on the road who did not know the situation and wanted to stop the Datong Army as agreed in advance, but they were rushed past by the Datong Army who jumped over the wall in a hurry.

The dispersed Rogue Infantry was quite funny at first when they saw their accomplices behind the Datong Army, but later found out that they were running for their lives. It seemed that the Yansui Army was coming to kill them, so they immediately followed them and fled along the Datong Army. Follow the direction to escape.

The more the bandit fled, the more infantry troops along the way were captured and followed. Along the way, more and more people fled. The more people there were, the more panicked the Datong Army became. At this time, even if Wu Xiang wanted to organize his army and fight again, the military order could not be passed on and he could only continue to run.

Just running like this, I finally met the infantry of the Datong Army who were coming all the way. But when these infantry saw the cavalry flying back, with countless bandits "chasing" behind them, these infantry also turned around and fled.

After escaping, when Ma Xianglin led the selected cavalry to catch up, the bandit cavalry suddenly accelerated as if they had been beaten to death, running past the fleeing Datong army in front, and then fled away. .

As for the Datong Army, they were dumbfounded as they looked at the retreating figures of the bandit cavalry. They didn't know if they were invisible or if the bandits were blind and chased after them?

This confusion persisted until Ma Xianglin caught up with them and finally realized what was going on. However, at this time, Wu Xiang, who was exhausted, counted the men and horses and found that at least half of them were missing. Especially after he learned from Ma Xianglin what happened last night, he felt like crying. He had a great contribution, but he was just thrown away by himself. But now, she doesn’t know what the court will do with her after knowing about this matter!

Besides, in the chat group, Emperor Chongzhen knew what had happened and did not even bother to think about how to deal with Wu Xiang. After thinking carefully for a while, he immediately said: "Let the Yansui Army immediately divide its troops and go north, mobilize officers and soldiers from local guards along the way, and search for Wu Xiang." The thieves who have strayed into the mountains and forests must be cleaned up, and the thieves must not be allowed to cause trouble in the place!"

When Lu Ruipeng heard this, he immediately agreed.

"Ma Xianglin's unit received supplies from the local area and continued to pursue the fleeing thieves without giving them a chance to breathe."

After Zhang Fengyi heard this, she immediately agreed. She had already guessed this intention.

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a moment and then told Zhang Fengyi: "Let Wu Xiang reorganize the remaining soldiers and horses, and clean up the remaining bandits along the way until they meet up with the Yansui Army!"

After saying this, he saw that the achievement value was only 84 points, and then said: "For the follow-up, please tell me privately, and this group will be disbanded."

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen dismissed the temporary group. Okay, there is no achievement value, it’s time to leave the palace.
