Under the crazy impact of the archers, the miners were extremely frightened in the dark, like hornets blowing up nests, running around. During the day, Wen Yizhou's command of the miners' team was a little unsatisfied, let alone at night?

Wen Yizhou was very angry when he saw this. His complacent attitude of leading more than 10,000 troops during the day had long disappeared without a trace. He could not have to wear a strong man and lead more than 100 personal soldiers to fight back against Fan Yizhou.

Unexpectedly, Fan Yizhou's attack was not aimless. The chasing archers kept driving the miners to the central army, trying to completely disrupt the miners' position in Wen Yizhou.

Before the personal soldiers of Wen Yizhou met the archers, they were rushed to pieces by the miners running around. Wen Yizhou gritted his teeth and made the most correct choice tonight: to take the personal soldiers to retreat to Zhang Yingyuan Camp.

How could Fan Yizhou, who tasted the sweetness, give up such a good opportunity, and then commanded the archers with the sound of gongs and drums to drive the miners to Zhang Yingyuan Camp.

How could Wen Yizhou, who had been in the battle formation for a long time, not know such a method of rolling the bead curtain? He was trying to bypass Zhang Yingyuan Camp, but Zhang Yingyuan sent a team of strong bows and crossbows to pick him up, dispersing the running miners around, and bringing the frightened Wen Yizhou into the camp.

When Wen Yizhou saw it, a mouthful of blood was gushing out. There were more than a thousand elite soldiers in the morning, but now there are only more than one hundred people left.

Five hundred to ten thousand! Zuo Liangyu was so upset that he actually fought like this. He kept slapping his forehead and regretted: I started by fighting the bandits, how could I forget that the bandits were afraid of night battles! Damn, the rioters should attack and attack. If they attack again, how could they line up to resist the enemy?

After dawn, Wen Yizhou kept gathering soldiers and miners, leaving only more than 2,000 people. Others were either killed or fled. Fortunately, there were more than 400 elite soldiers left, which was somewhat of a comfort.

Zuo Liangyu was furious and immediately ordered Luo Dai and Zhang Yingyuan to rush to Yindongpo. As a result, when Luo Dai and Zhang Yingyuan arrived at Yindongpo, there was no one there, and there was no one or two silver left for Zuo Liangyu. The food, tools and other things that could not be taken away were burned completely.

Zuo Liangyu ordered to pursue Xinye, but was firmly resisted by Dou Shiwen. Dou Shiwen continued to block Zuo Liangyu with favorable terrain. When Zuo Liangyu arrived in Xinye, it was two days later that almost all the ships at Tanghe Wharf were taken away by Dou Shiwen, leaving no one for Zuo Liangyu.

Zuo Liangyu was completely crazy and robbed in Tongbai, Xinye and other counties, obtained a large amount of supplies, and expanded his team to more than 30,000. In addition to the title of an officer and soldier, he had actually become a bandit.

Zuo Liangyu, who was greatly promoted, advanced along the Baihe River to Xiangyang and urged the banner of chasing the bandits.

The time Dou Shiwen won was very precious. In two days, Lin Chunyi from Xiangyang had sent elite troops to Henan to pick up the miners and archers who were heading south. Zhou Wang had already received the news and immediately ordered the Cavalry Camp to return to Nanyang, and tried to get rid of the bandits and return to Nanyang.

Let’s talk about the news that Zuo Liangyu’s brazen attack on Tongbai after the three prefectures of Jingzhou were shocked. Tongbai’s gold, silver and copper deposits almost support half of Bangtai’s monetary system. If production cannot be resumed quickly, the entire monetary system will be at risk of collapse.

Now, on the small Bailizhou, more than 2,400 taels of silver and more than 2 million taels of gold were stored. Based on these real gold and silver, Bangtai Money Bank issued a total of more than 100 million taels of silver. These more than 100 million taels of silver were not met at all. The Jiangnan region was still in a state of shortage of silver.

Moreover, as Lin Chunhong showed his strength in the ocean, maritime merchants were very smart and flocked to bills, which became popular at sea, and it was urgent to increase the issuance.

Under such circumstances, Tongbai was actually attacked, which made the Pavilion Gu change his face and was in panic.

A group of envoys came to the Governor's Office at the same time and discussed the war with Zhang Zhao.

As soon as the discussion began, news from the front line spread: Zuo Liangyu wanted to plunder Tongbai, Xinye, and Tangxian, gathered tens of thousands of mobs, and was heading south along Baihe, trying to attack Xiangyang!

Only Lin Chunyi's Tiger Roar Army in Xiangyang, with only more than 6,000 troops in full battle. Can it be Zuo Liangyu's opponent?

The envoys looked at Zhang Zhao in panic. Li Chengzong was even more anxious and grabbed Zhang Zhao's hand and asked: "Zuo Liangyu is known as more than 100,000 people. Can Xiangyang block it?"

Zhang Zhao said decisively: "The left thieves are known as 100,000, and the elites are only 5,000 or 6,000. It is impossible to break through Xiangyang, Hanjiang, Jingzhou, and Yiling without worries!"

These words cannot reassure everyone. Six thousand is against tens of thousands, and it feels mysterious no matter how you look at it. What's more, these envoys will never allow any mistakes in Xiangyang.

Zhang Daohan looked serious and said loudly: "Deputy Governor Zhang, we are all people who have experienced the storms, so we don't need the comfort of Deputy Governor Zhang. Please tell the truth. How many people and how much money and grain are needed to defend Xiangyang, the Central Secretary's Mansion should be satisfied with it with all our efforts!"

Zhang Zhao could not do so, so he had to point to the map and said, "Don't worry, Zhang has ordered Li Mengshen to lead a fleet to the Han River, and he will definitely arrive in Xiangyang within three days. With the Yangtze River Navy, even if the left thieves have a million troops, they cannot cross the Han River! In addition, Zhang's orders were also asked to issue a mobilization order. Xiangyang lacked troops and needed to mobilize archers!"

Zhang Daohan replied: "No problem, I will immediately issue a mobilization order to mobilize the archers from Jingzhou, Yiling, Xiangyang and Kuizhou to participate in the war!"

Zhang Zhaodao: "The archers in Kuizhou, Jingzhou and Yiling do not need to move for the time being, and they will decide depending on the situation. Just mobilize Xiangyang Prefecture!"

Zhang Daohan hesitated and said, "Is this military force enough?"

Zhang Zhao made a promise and said, "It's enough. As long as there are 20,000 or 30,000 troops, Zuo Liangyu will be bleeding from the Jiancheng City in Xiangyang! After Governor Zhou returns from Henan, there will be Jiancheng City in front and more than 10,000 elite troops in the back, Zuo Liangyu will undoubtedly die!"

Zhang Zhao was full of confidence, and at least he let down the envoys. After deciding on military deployment, everyone began to discuss other strategies. After the six people combined various intelligence, they immediately determined that Zuo Liangyu did not receive orders from Lu Xiangsheng or the Ministry of War, but was provoked by Qu Shisi and attacked Tongbai without authorization.

Regarding what Zuo Liangyu's purpose was, the six people quickly reached an agreement: Zuo Liangyu wanted to take advantage of the situation to capture Jingzhou, Yiling and Xiangyang to gain both fame and fortune. This can be seen from his attack along the Baihe River without hesitation.

As for what purpose Qu Shixi has, the six people have different opinions and can't figure it out.

When it comes to court and party disputes, Zhang Zhao, Li Chongde, Li Chengzong and Guo Mingyan immediately caught it blindly, unable to explain why. Zhu Zhiyu and Zhang Daohan were not good at this, and could not understand the intention of Qu Shisi.

In the end, the six people pushed this problem to Lin Chunhong and only came up with countermeasures against Zuo Liangyu. After all, Zuo Liangyu's threat is imminent and there is no need tolerate any negligence.

The six people decided that Zhang Zhaoqian would go to Xiangyang to take charge and must block Zuo Liangyu under the strong city of Xiangyang.

At the same time, he used his reputation as Vice General Zhou to submit a memorial to the governor of the five provinces, Lu Xiangsheng and the Ministry of War, denounced Zuo Liangyu's mutiny, attacked the imperial soldiers and plundered the people, and became a rebel. The general of Jingzhou Army Miao Li suppressed the bandits, returned to Henan and Huguang to a Qingping...

After discussion, Zhang Zhao immediately set off for Xiangyang. Zhang Daohan, Zhu Zhiyu, Guo Mingyan and others worked together to organize the Transport Department to transport a large amount of military supplies and materials to Xiangyang.

Although Zhang Daohan took strict confidentiality measures to prevent the spread of Zuo Liangyu's mutiny. However, with the support of some ulterior motives, fear spread rapidly in the territory like a plague. In Jingzhou, Yiling and other places, turmoil inevitably occurred. Foreign merchants quickly evacuated Bangtai like frightened rabbits, and the market transaction volume dropped sharply. Some loyal pump-bearers surrounded the three government offices of Jingzhou, anxious to inquire about various news; some powerful people who were strongly suppressed by Bangtai frequently connected and tried to take advantage of the situation; some imperial bureaucrats in the territory spread rumors everywhere, trying to add fuel to the fire, and there was a faint trend of out of control...

Zhang Daohan, Zhu Zhiyu and others were anxious, like firefighters, extinguishing fires everywhere. They did not expect to press the gourd to float up, and they would have no time to spare every day.

"Zhang Mansion! This is not a solution. I think it's better to have a ruthless move!" Zhu Zhiyu slapped the desk with a palm and said to Zhang Daohan.

"Isn't it cruel enough? The Security Department has arrested more than 200 people in the past few days, and all of them have been put into prison! More than 20 heads have been cut off!" Zhang Daohan said with great anxiety, massaging his temples.

Zhu Zhiyu shook his head and said, "Deputy Superintendent Zhang is full of confidence. I think Zuo Liangyu is incompetent! It is better to make the war report public directly to avoid rumors flying around! Also, let the Tianwu Army go to Jingzhou and arrange for the Tianwu Army to have fun with the people; in addition, let Zhang Zhao take a small attack in Xiangyang, as long as he gets a little advantage, he will report it to the big news, and at least he must calm down the hearts of the people!"

Zhang Daohan frowned and thought for a while, and said, "I think it's OK! The Tianwu Army is stationed in Yidu, and it's still idle. It's better to let the people know that we have a lot of troops and Zuo Liangyu is not worth worrying. Let's join forces together and ask the Governor's Office to agree to these three strategies!"

Zhu Zhiyu immediately picked up the paper and pen, "I hold the pen! Oh, it would be great if the military gate was in Jingzhou. No slut dared to do anything recklessly!"

"This is the reason. The military gate is there, and the Secretary of the Central Committee and the Governor's Office will not do their own things!"

...

After the Central Secretariat ordered the counties to post war reports, some sour scholars gathered under the war reports to read the contents of the war reports for the people and expressed their opinions. These sour scholars were all arrogant and liked to talk about military affairs. Although they talked about war on paper, they also admitted a fact: Once Zhou Wang returned, Zuo Liangyu would inevitably collapse under the attack of front and back.

In addition, after the Tianwu Army arrived in Jingzhou, it was often with the people. The people saw with their own eyes that Bangtai was extremely relaxed in dealing with Zuo Liangyu, and they still had the power to be free and happy Ren Tianwu Army. The people finally put their hearts back, gradually returned to their usual life, and people's hearts gradually settled down.
