Chapter 432 Sun Chuanting
In the game between Yang Sichang and Lin Chunhong, Shaanxi is an overlooked corner. But this does not mean that Shaanxi is not lively, it is just because Lin Chunhong is not strong enough and has no power in Shaanxi.
Lin Chunhong's Western fleet, Eastern fleet, Southeast camp, and Central Plains camp were respectively located near Nanyang, Shuangyu Port, Anqing and Henan, when the bows were drawn on all sides, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting from Shaanxi were not idle either. They beat Li Zicheng, Liu Guoneng and other bandits to fly around and not be at peace.
First, Li Zicheng and Tianxing Zhang Tianlin tried to enter Sichuan, but after learning that Sichuan had already been heavily deployed, he was frightened back to Gansu. As soon as he left Sichuan, he fought in Hezhou, Gansu, and Taozhou and Hong Chengchou. Li Zicheng suffered a crushing defeat and retreated to the remote areas of Gansu.
Gansu was barren and sparsely populated. Li Zicheng's army almost starved to death. In desperation, Li Zicheng had to scatter and hide across the Tao River, enter the junction of Shaanxi and Sichuan again, hide in the Qinling Mountains, and restore his vitality.
Compared with Hong Chengchou's outstanding martial arts, Sun Chuanting was not inferior at all. When he first took charge of the army, Sun Chuanting ordered Deputy General Luo Shangwen to advance, and cut off the neat king's head in one battle. Soon, Ma Jinzhong, who was active in Weinan, was wiped out. By the way, the Holy World King, the Guabo King, and the wings flew, all the King of Heaven lost their heads, leaving only the strongest Liu Guoneng, who confronted Sun Chuanting in Weinan.
Sun Chuanting's past is simply a legend. When Emperor Wanli was about to die, Sun Chuanting became a Jinshi and was awarded the position of magistrate of Yongcheng. During the Tianqi period, he had no idea what luck he had, and suddenly jumped to the center and served as the head of the Ministry of Personnel. Later, Wei Zhongxian got power, and Sun Chuanting returned without saying a word and returned to his hometown in Shanxi. Until the eighth year of Chongzhen, he took the initiative to run to the court, requested his reinstatement, and continued to serve in the Ministry of Personnel. Later, he took the initiative to apply to be the governor of Shaanxi, and with 60,000 taels of silver, he pulled up Qin soldiers, won consecutive battles, and became a pillar figure who was on par with Hong Chengchou.
He is tough, brave to take responsibility, and is indifferent to fame and fortune. Well, I will say so much, this is Sun Chuanting.
Among the Ming Dynasty bureaucrats, there were many people with the same temperament as Sun Chuanting, but few people with the same temperament as Sun Chuanting and capable. All of these people have accomplished great things, such as Yu Qian and Lu Xiangsheng...
Sun Chuanting fought with Liu Guoneng in Weinan, but he kept watching the situation in Henan coldly and was as insightful as the plans of Lin Chunhong, Xiong Wencan, Li Shaoyi and others.
Sun Chuanting has no hatred for Lin Chunhong, but it is obviously impossible to appreciate it. Any pragmatic person will never hate Lin Chunhong like a courtier who is in trouble, and even deliberately or unintentionally learn from some of Lin Chunhong's practices. For example, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and others all belong to this category.
Lin Chunhong wanted to control Xiong Wencan and put his hand into the court. Sun Chuanting naturally knew that this was something he could not accept. He wanted to immediately advance eastward to smash Lin Chunhong's so-called bargaining chips to relieve the hidden danger for the court.
However, after thinking about it, Sun Chuanting felt that there were many difficulties in this matter, so he called Fu Gong to discuss it together.
Fu Gong frowned and shook his head, "I think it's better not to interfere in this matter. Not to mention that the army was entangled by Liu Guoneng and could not take action, even if the troops are sufficient, they cannot do so. Now Xiong Wencan and Lin Chunhong obviously colluded with each other and drew a red line in Xujiawan. Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai dare not cross this red line. The east of Xujiawan is Lu's county, which belongs to the defense zone of the six southeastern provinces, and the west of Xujiawan is the defense zone between Lord and Governor Hong. If they did not obtain the order of the Ministry of War, they would cross without authorization, and the consequences would be unpredictable."
Fu Gong sighed and continued, "I guess the reason why Xiong Wencan and Lin Chunhong drew a red line in Xujiawan was to beware of the Lord's intervention. Since that's the case, are they not prepared?"
Sun Chuanting sneered: "If you cross something without authorization, there is no need to mention it again. I will be bound by the court to attack the thief. How can I be bound by this? As long as the consequences are met, I will naturally bear it."
Fu Gong knew that Sun Chuanting was tough and difficult to convince, and no longer got involved in cross-border matters, and said bluntly: "How can you draw out your man? If there are fewer soldiers, what's the use of rushing to Lu's family?"
Sun Chuanting pondered for a while and said, "At the beginning of the year, Liu Guoneng's military attack was frustrated and he sent someone to surrender, but the original fu was not agreed. To this day, Liu Guoneng has been defeated repeatedly, and all the surrounding minions have been cleared. How likely is it to recruit Liu Guoneng?"
Fu Gong was shocked and advised: "Sir, Liu Guoneng has declined and should be completely wiped out and will be eliminated forever. The bandits have no credibility, and countless people have surrendered and rebelled again. If Liu Guoneng is surrendered now and Liu Guoneng, he will be able to rebel again in the future. If he cannot explain to the emperor, his future will be affected."
Sun Chuanting said coldly: "I don't care about the future or something. No matter whether Liu Guoneng surrenders sincerely or delays the military plan, I let Liu Guoneng surrender, and there is no chance of rebellion again after he surrenders, and major events can be settled!"
"Sir, are you confident?"
Sun Chuanting said: "When Liu Guo could travel to northern Sichuan, he once accepted a general named Hu Jiusi. Benfu fell in secret contact with Hu Jiusi many times. If Benfu had expected it, although Hu Jiusi was deeply trusted by Liu Guo, he was devoted to the court and planned to win his wife and son. After surrender, he would not have the intention to rebel again."
Fu Gong said: "Sir, I want to put Hu Jiusi next to Liu Guoneng. Once Liu Guoneng has a different intention, Hu Jiusi will help Liu Guoneng to correct the law?"
Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "No, I have this plan. However, I still need to go to Liu Guoneng's army to surrender."
Fu Gong was about to take the initiative to ask for his order, but hesitated and said, "Sir, whether the surrender is still possible or not. Even if Liu State is willing to surrender, it will be delayed. My subordinates are worried that Xiong Wencan plans to surrender Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai will make progress faster than he is. I am afraid that the major events in Weinan are not yet decided, and Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai have become people of the court."
Sun Chuanting sneered: "This matter is special, and it is probably impossible to send a large army to accomplish anything. I have a plan..."
Sun Chuanting leaned his mouth close to Fu Gong's ears, lowered his voice, and just talked about a few words, so Fu Gong was in a look.
The two were chatting in a low voice when they suddenly received an order from the Ministry of War, ordering Sun Chuanting to immediately go east to Henan and wipe out Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai.
This order was issued in time, and it just solved the problem of Sun Chuanting's cross-border attack on Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai. Fu Gong couldn't help but be overjoyed and praised repeatedly: "It's just in the absence, but I didn't expect it to arrive..."
Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting was not happy at all, and just sighed and said, "The Ministry of War is in chaos, why is this!"
Fu Gong was surprised and asked: "Sir, too, want to move eastward, why is he going to be in trouble?"
Sun Chuanting said worriedly: "The Ministry of War does not understand the situation on the battlefield at all, so he brazenly ordered the eastward entry into Henan. If Liu Guo is powerful and I will fight fiercely with Liu Guoguo, will I follow the orders of the Ministry of War or openly disobey the orders?"
