Chapter VIII The First Battle of King Qin's Army

Lu Xiangsheng discovered a Qing army with more than 300 troops and was not far from Changping. He immediately called Zhang Biwu and said, "Biwu, I heard that there were hundreds of Qing army in Jifu, close to Changping, which seemed to be cruising and reconnaissance, and it was also like demonstrating to our army to test the reality of our army. This army must be killed! Biwu, you immediately lead your headquarters to 1,000 troops and eat them! I will also send Hu Dawei, Wang Pu, and Yang Guozhu to draw one team to support you!"

When Zhang Biwu heard this, he was overjoyed and knew that Lu Xiangsheng was entrusted with important tasks for him. He immediately went to Changping Military Camp to point out his thousand troops. But when Zhang Biwu had just left the street, one of them ran to his horse quickly and stopped Zhang Biwu.

The guard stared at him, pointed the gun at him, and asked sternly: "Who are you? Do you dare to stop us, Mr. Qian! Do you don't want to live?"

But the man raised his head and shouted, "I heard that the people under your tent of Lord Lu Zhitai are determined to fight the Tartars! Please take me as a pawn! I am willing to go with you to fight the Tartars!" Lin Xiangfeng was shocked when he saw it and said, "It's you! Xie Shangzheng!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he drew out his sword, wishing he could cut off Xie Shangzheng's head with one sword. But Zhang Biwu called out: "Stop!"

Lin Xiangfeng looked at Zhang Biwu and asked in confusion: "Biwu, do you know who he is? He is Xie Shangzheng, a traitor who conspired with Wen Tiren to kill Master Supervisor!"

Xie Shangzheng looked at Lin Xiangfeng, smiled bitterly, and said, "I am Xie Shangzheng! The reason I came to you is to atone for my sins! I know that even if I cut me into pieces, I can't relieve my hatred! But I really want to have another chance! I don't want to die of drunkenness all day long, and even death will make me die on the battlefield!"

"Hmph!" Lin Xiangfeng didn't want to listen to him, and didn't even want to look at him.

Zhang Biwu came to Xie Shangzheng and said, "What are you doing to stop me?"

Xie Shangzheng raised his head and said, "I know that lord is the favorite general of lord Lu Zhitai. I think lord can fight the Tartars on the front line! I have been fighting the Tartars all my life, but I did a big thing wrong! I don't want to hang out in the tavern all day long! I also want to pick up my sword and sword to go to the battlefield! As for Xiangfeng, I know you hate me! But I think you can give me a chance to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy! Let me take revenge! Let me die on the battlefield!"

Xie Shangzheng said excitedly and pointed his hand at his chest with all his fingers. He hoped that they could understand his heart.

"What are you talking nonsense?" Lin Xiangfeng put the sword on Xie Shangzheng's shoulder. Zhang Biwu looked at him as if he was ready to die. Zhang Biwu saw a kind of determination in his eyes. For some reason, when he saw these determined eyes full of expectations, Zhang Biwu couldn't help but want to believe him!

Zhang Biwu was infected with this fighting spirit. "Give me the sword!" Zhang Biwu spoke to the personal soldiers beside him, and the personal soldiers beside him immediately gave the sword to Zhang Biwu.

But Zhang Biwu threw the sword to Xie Shangzheng and said, "You should be the vanguard of our army! The war will be fought within three or four days! Tell you, if you dare to retreat, you will be dead! Go! I will go to the battlefield as you wish!"

"What?" Lin Xiangfeng and Cai Jiuyi were all stunned. They never expected that Zhang Biwu would actually take important tasks to Political Commissar Xie Shang. They looked at Zhang Biwu unfairly, hoping that Zhang Biwu could change his mind and take back his preface.

Zhang Biwu ignored them, patted Xie Shangzheng on the shoulder and said, "You not only want to justify your name, but also have to justify me! Xie Shangzheng! I don't want you to be a traitor for the second time!"

Of course, Xie Shangzheng knew the hatred of Lin Xiangfeng, Cai Jiuyi and others. He looked at Zhang Biwu again. He knew that Zhang Biwu asked him to go to the battlefield and entrusted him with great pressure! He was very moved and grateful to him when he trusted this meeting.

His fists were clenched tightly. He made up his mind that he would never let Zhang Biwu down. He wanted to justify himself and make Zhang Biwu have a keen eye for his reputation! This was his battle for atonement!

Lin Xiangfeng came to Zhang Biwu and said with great dissatisfaction: "Biwu, why did you give political commissar Xie Shang a heavy responsibility? It was our first battle! If this battle was lost, you would not be able to explain to Master Jiantai! Xie Shangzheng is a traitor, I don't know if he will be a traitor this time! If I let me cut off his head with one sword!"

"Is that?" Zhang Biwu sighed and said, "Do you know? When I came into contact with Xie Shangzheng's fierce look in his eyes, I seemed to see myself when I was on the beacon tower! I wanted to fight to build a career! I always thought about this before, and I was always laughed at by people. They laughed at me for being too narcissistic and had never seen such an overestimated person! But I still can't change it! Seeing Xie Shangzheng's eyes, I understood his inner cry!"

"Same as mine before! So I gave him a chance! I think he has changed his past! I want to make a contribution this time! I hope I read it right!"

Zhang Biwu sighed when he said this. Lin Xiangfeng shook his head and said, "Biwu! You are so stupid! I, Xie Shangzheng, should not be tolerant at all!" All Zhang Biwu could do is believe Xie Shangzheng, and he did not misunderstand it!

When Zhang Biwu returned to the military camp, he didn't say much, and immediately pulled up a thousand men and rushed to the front line. He knew that the Qing army was coming and going without a trace. If they arrived near Changping, the Qing army would move. This Qing army must eat it! In order to boost the morale of the entire army.

According to the investigation, the enemy army had left Changping and headed towards Yanqing Prefecture. Yanqing Prefecture was originally named Longqing Prefecture, but in the first year of Longqing, it was changed to Yanqing Prefecture to avoid the reign of Emperor Muzong of Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Biwu and his team met this Qing army in Yanqing Prefecture. Although there were only more than 300 Qing soldiers, Zhang Biwu led a thousand people and issued an edict to the Tiger Dawei and General Yang Guozhu, asking them to send troops to help quickly.

This Qing army was not afraid of the Ming army with a large number of troops, because since they entered the Ming territory, no one dared to resist, only Lu Xiangsheng's army was actively looking for them.

They also accepted orders to avoid the war, but now they cannot avoid it, and this battle is inevitable. All they have to do is break through and cause a heavy blow to the Ming army before breaking through.

Zhang Biwu looked at the Qing army. The Qing army was a mixture of infantry and cavalry, including 200 cavalry and 100 infantry. While the side was 400 cavalry and more than 600 infantry. Although it had an absolute advantage, the morale between the two sides was slightly better. If it had a single combat capability, the Ming army would be completely inferior.

Lin Xiangfeng said to Zhang Biwu sadly: "Biwu, it's okay to replace Xie Shangzheng now! If it's a little late, it will be a big mistake!"

Zhang Biwu was stunned. He looked at Xie Shangzheng in front of the battlefield and was moved: "Xie Shangzheng was a shameless person who had betrayed his friend and the commander! Can I trust him? Although I have heard that after betrayed, he felt regretful and in pain, I also saw that his eyes were the same as what I used to mean. I couldn't bear it for a moment and gave him a chance!"

"But if he becomes a traitor, if he is defeated in this battle, it will seriously affect morale! Originally, Lu Xiangsheng relied on me with an important responsibility. I thought that I won the first battle in this battle to inspire the morale of the three armies. If I lose, it will have a great impact on the three armies! The history of Lu Xiangsheng's death cannot be changed! If I win, at least there will be a glimmer of hope!"

"Should I replace Xie Shangzheng? Replace another person as a vanguard to attack the Qing soldiers? Should it be like this? But changing generals at the last battle is a taboo in military tactics! Maybe they will be defeated by my stupid behavior! How should I do it!"

When Lin Xiangfeng saw Zhang Biwu hesitating, he continued to persuade: "Biwu! Don't hesitate anymore! If I were the pioneer, I would definitely do better than Xie Shangzheng!"

Zhang Biwu could only think of one thing: "No need to doubt people! Don't doubt people! Since I decided to give Xie Shangzheng a chance before! Then I can't break my promise and become fat! I must be determined! Even if he really sorry for me, I have to rush up first and take down his head!"

"If he really repents and wants to kill the Tartars to atone for his sins, it will be a great wealth for me! What's more, when I reverse history, my power alone is to drive a chariot, but I have gathered the power of many people, which is a great achievement!"

Zhang Biwu thought that Xie Shangzheng was a martial arts master in the 46th year of Wanli, and was promoted to the position of general in the second year of Chongzhen. Xie Shangzheng changed his position four times within half a year after killing Yuan Chonghuan. Although he was promoted, he could not adapt to it. Later, he developed to the point of refusal to be held, and finally he was dismissed. In April of the fifth year of Chongzhen, he was demoted and dismissed. This was all because he regretted killing Yuan Chonghuan, and thus gave up on himself.

Xie Shangzheng's regretful and fighting spirit kept swaying in front of him. Zhang Biwu gritted his teeth and decided to gamble - Xie Shangzheng could be trusted!

Zhang Biwu gritted his teeth and showed his determination: "I have chosen Xie Shangzheng, so let him continue to lead troops to fight first! Beat the drum! Attack the other party!"

As soon as Zhang Biwu finished speaking, he immediately put on his helmet! He pulled out the Sizhao sword and charged at any time. From then on, Lin Xiangfeng couldn't say anything anymore, so he could only charge desperately.

Xie Shangzheng pulled out the sword, he pricked up his ears and listened all the time, his eyes shot out of his desire for battle, he couldn't wait. The drum sounded! The horn sounded!
