Chapter 516

In the struggle between Liu Jiajun and Liu Zeqing, the Liu family has always had the upper hand. They killed the important generals under Liu Zeqing and destroyed half of their servants, resulting in heavy losses for Liu Zeqing. However, this does not mean that the Liu family will let Liu Zeqing go and forget their gratitude and resentment.

You should know that Liu Zeqing is the only person qualified to threaten them in Shandong. Liu Zeqing has expanded his army to nearly 100000. Although the combat effectiveness of these 100000 troops is not very good, even if 100000 pigs start to mess up, it will certainly bring great trouble to the Liu family.

After completing a series of deployments, Liu Bu found that Liu Zeqing, who was near Jinan, was one of their main opponents and enemies. If the Liu family once took action, it was him who had to be killed first. On the side of his bed, how could others sleep soundly?

And the other party is not willing to be lonely. He wants to deal with the Liu family actively. Since he comes out, he doesn't blame the Liu family for its spearhead, so there will be this series of arrangements.

Their series of arrangements are also prepared to deal with Liu Zeqing. As long as his army dares to leave Jinan and come to the east third house, Liu Bu dares to call him gone.

Liu Zeqing attacked the Liu family several times before. He was smart and didn't do it himself, so he didn't have an accident. This time, Liu Bu made a deployment himself. If he dared to come, he would call it a comeback.

As for the imperial court... Liu Bu doesn't care much at all. At that time, the imperial court will be in a mess. Will he care about guarding the door?

Liu Zeqing didn't know that Liu Bu showed the enemy weakness in order to lead the snake out of the cave. He thought that the Liu family had a problem and wanted to take advantage of his illness and take his life, so he was complacent.

In the first World War in southern Liaoning, the Liu family caused a sensation all over the world and made their prestige reach its peak. However, after their war reports were reported, their reputation began to decline. They had been rated as the first strong army in the world, but seeing that they were beaten so badly by JianNu, it was a bit exaggerated to rate them as the first strong army in the world, So everyone no longer gave them such high praise, but they still rated it as one of the four iron armies of Daming.

Naturally, the four iron armies are Guan Ning's iron cavalry first, Tianxiong's Army Second, Hong Chengchou's Qin army third, followed by Liu Bu's Liu family army. These four armies are one of the famous armies of the Ming Dynasty, and have played a mainstay role in the stormy Ming Dynasty.

In particular, a few days ago, Hong Chengchou and sun chuanting organized troops to go all out to encircle and suppress the roving bandits in the northwest. Their subordinate, Shaanxi governor sun chuanting, ambushed the roving bandit Gao Yingxiang in the Ziwu Valley and defeated Gao Yingxiang. He not only defeated his main force of 50000 troops, but also captured Gao Yingxiang alive. This battle was a sensation all over the world.

In terms of seniority, Gao Yingxiang's seniority is higher than that of Zhang Xianzhong. When Zhang Xianzhong was desperate, he had to vote for Gao Yingxiang. Gao Yingxiang was also a leader among the itinerant bandits. He was well deserved to be the leading brother. More than a dozen itinerant bandits recommended him as the king. He was recognized as one of the best giant bandits. He was ambushed by the Ming army in Ziwu valley, The whole army was destroyed and he was captured alive, which dealt a great blow to the wandering bandits, raised the prestige of the imperial court and relieved emperor Chongzhen. It was not in vain that he spent countless money and food, surrounded, chased and killed the enemy.

As early as the Three Kingdoms period, when Zhuge Liang made a northern expedition out of the Qi Mountain, general Wei Yan of the five tigers put forward the famous Ziwu Valley conspiracy theory.

A senior general led 10000 elite troops from Ziwu Valley to Chang'an and captured Chang'an and Tongguan in one fell swoop, but Zhuge Liang denied it and thought it was too risky and strange. Once defeated, it must be gone.

Gao Yingxiang has been galloping around the world for seven years since he started, with few failures.

They were besieged, chased and intercepted by the armies of several provinces under the command of Hong Chengchou. In particular, they were chased and killed by Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army. Gao Yingxiang led his army from Hanzhong to plan to march into Shaanxi and seize Xi'an. However, the unlucky Gao Yingxiang met the new Shaanxi governor sun chuanting. The two sides fought for a long time and the war was in a stalemate.

Because Gao Yingxiang is a native of Shaanxi, he is also very familiar with Ziwu Valley Road. Gao Yingxiang, as a military leader, had also read several books. At this time, he thought of the plot of Ziwu Valley by Wei Yan, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms. He knew that if he raided from this path, he could go directly to Xi'an. As long as the plan was successful, he could occupy Shaanxi in one fell swoop.

If you capture Chang'an, you must call the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and lose your chin. Even if you can't beat Xi'an, you can scare him to death.

Just do it! Gao Yingxiang hit the tea table with a fist, and the tea jumped out. When they saw that the king had made up his mind, they all agreed to take risks and break out of the siege.

Gao Yingxiang decided to gamble and led 50000 troops into the path of Ziwu Valley, but people were not as good as heaven. He didn't expect that the road in Ziwu valley was too difficult to walk, and it rained heavily. People were tired and morale was low. They walked for 15 days to the north entrance of the meridian Valley and reached the black water. As long as they crossed here, they were half successful.

Gao Yingxiang leads his troops to Longting, a large residential area on Ziwu road. Wugu, about 330 kilometers long, runs vertically from north to south, starting from Chang'an in the north, Qinling Mountains in the southwest and Shiquan County in the South; The north exit is called Zikou, and the south exit is called Wukou. This is the origin of ziwukou.

Ziwu Valley has steep cliffs and numerous plank roads. The reason for its danger lies in the Qinling Mountains. Qinling Mountain, also known as Zhongnan mountain, is high in the West and low in the East. It is the watershed of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. Ziwu Valley is surrounded by it. It is conceivable that the mountains are steep and the way is bad. Therefore, the strategists issued the exclamation that Ziwu is the king of the six roads in the Qinling Mountains.

Longting is located at the chuandaokou of Yangxian county at the easternmost end of Hanzhong plain. It is hilly and mountainous area in the East and Hanzhong plain area in the West. However, there are two Ziwu roads. Whether to take the new Ziwu road or the old Ziwu road. From the perspective of the distance, the Qinling ridge of the old Zizi is dangerous, and the suolongguan and Tiecheng garrison adjacent to the golden water of Huangjin gorge are heavily guarded.

The new meridian road passes through three high altitudes, namely the golden gorge big bend, Pinghe beam and Qinling beam. The new line turns one mountain less than the old line, and the terrain of Pinghe beam is relatively flat, so Gao Yingxiang decides to take the new Meridian Road.

After that, the army was blocked at sanheguan, which is the junction of Puhe River, Wenshui River and Jiaoxi River in Sanhekou village, Daheba Township, Foping county. The pass is at the Sanhekou dam. The general manager of sanheguan, Chen Yuqi, refused to surrender. Most people at sanheguan are surnamed Chen and are considered servants. They call Baiying. In addition, the pass walls and piers are made of stones. The terrain is convenient, easy to defend and difficult to attack, At the confluence of the three rivers, there are vertical and horizontal rivers, swamps everywhere, and it is difficult for the army to expand.

Gao Yingxiang led the troops to break through the pass four days later, but the general manager of Sanhe pass, Chen Yuqi, sent a rescue document to sun chuanting, who was training troops and horses in Xi'an.

At this time, it was less than three months before sun chuanting took office, and his army was only 3000 when he left Beijing. After receiving the rescue document, he decided to immediately send someone to Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng for help. On the one hand, he sent someone to continue exploring Gao Yingxiang's next entry route, ready to wait for Hong Chengchou's army to catch the thief together.

After receiving sun chuanting's request for help, Hong Chengchou immediately led a large army to Xi'an for rescue, and sent he Renlong as the forward.

Sun chuanting met with he Renlong's department and sent troops out of Xi'an. He expected Gao Yingxiang to take this road. He personally led 10000 elite soldiers to wait for work. He laid an ambush and had been waiting for a long time.

When their enemies met, they said nothing and cut with a knife. As soon as the war began, the roving bandits lost the enemy for several days. Finally, Gao Yingxiang's army was surrounded.

The famous general sun chuanting is really not a layman. He ordered his men to set up a white flag and a red flag to divide and disintegrate the enemy. Those who are willing to surrender can go to the white flag and those who are willing to fight to the red flag to die.

This move was really useful to disintegrate the enemy. Although Gao Yingxiang fought bravely against the enemy in heishuiyu, he was defeated and the whole army was destroyed.

Sun chuanting, the first governor of Shaanxi, whose main task was to eliminate the wandering bandits, seemed to be Gao Yingxiang's nemesis. After sun chuanting took office, he reorganized the army, recruited Xiang Yong in Yulin town and formed the Qin army.

After only a short training, this army went to the battlefield, but it showed strong combat effectiveness and became an elite force as famous as guanning iron cavalry. Moreover, sun chuanting was determined to stabilize the situation in Shaanxi and resume production. His primary task was to eliminate the exiled bandits.

However, an unexpected situation occurred. This is the army that sun chuanting had trained for a short time. It unexpectedly broke out a strong combat effectiveness. It was almost the same as Gao Yingxiang's elite army, which had experienced many battles. Both sides killed a dark day near Ziwu valley.

Gao Yingxiang's army was originally a lost dog. He had been driven East and West. Now he was desperate to think about adventure. Unfortunately, they were unlucky. They were caught by heavy rain and severe food shortage. As a result, they were caught off guard by sun chuanting's army.

Gao Yingxiang's army was scattered several times by the other party. It was not easy to assemble. Sun chuanting used the army to disperse them. Later, Gao Yingxiang lost his main force and walked into a cave with more than a dozen men. As a result, the Ming army caught up with him and directly captured him alive.

Gao Yingxiang was captured alive, which dealt a fatal blow to the army. Originally, because the commander-in-chief was still there, they were still struggling to resist, but because Gao Yingxiang was captured alive, they immediately lost morale. This army of 50000 people either surrendered or fled into the mountains, including Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai.

It can be said that Gao Yingxiang's adventurous move brought him a disaster and a fatal crisis. It also plunged him into an irreparable place.
