Zhang Pan sighed again and said, "Is this OK? Can you really protect the three counties?" Gu Yanwu sighed and said, "Actually, I'm not sure! Also, please write to the garrison quickly and tell him the situation! After all, I'm also worried that if there is a civil rebellion, of course the people in our three counties will not have such a thing, but the hungry people are coming... Alas!"

Zhang Pan sighed, he knew that what he had to do now was as Gu Yanwu said.

Gu Yanwu was thinking about who was spreading rumors? Only the world is not in chaos? We must disrupt the three counties so that we can feel at ease!

What Gu Yanwu is most worried about is the issue of civil unrest, and this issue of civil unrest really happened!

There are more and more refugees coming from all over the country, and they cannot get relief. The only way is to build water conservancy. Even if they beg, because of the famine, many people don’t have to eat, so how can they use it to help others?

Even if someone is sent to build water conservancy, reservoirs, etc. The area of ​​the three counties has many mountains and few water, and there is little water flowing through these three places. If you want Dujiangyan, Yecheng will be backed by the Yellow River, so water conservancy will be convenient, and all you can do is at least have water and irrigate the farmland.

This is why Gu Yanwu built a reservoir that was overhauled. There was really a drought. At least there was water in the reservoir to irrigate. In addition, it was almost spring, so water was used for farming at that time! Moreover, a large amount of people's power could not be used during farming. The construction of the construction was even more urgent.

However, one of the headaches that followed is that there are many hungry people and farming is useless. The hungry people will eat all the seedlings and other seedlings, and they will not let go of grass roots and bark! Like this, it is very difficult to get food when the autumn comes.

As Gu Yanwu expected, there were also many hungry people pouring into the three counties, although Gu Yanwu had already thought of using methods to stop the rumors, thus stopping more hungry people from entering the three counties.

But there are more hungry people. Even if they are asked to build water conservancy, it will make some people and many people unable to build it, so as to obtain food. Moreover, even those who build it have complaints and want to get it without effort. Unlike now, they can only obtain food by working hard. These people will be in chaos, which will cause the three counties to shake fundamentally.

Of course Gu Yanwu knew, but he had no choice but to recruit more courage. After all, the new five hundred is not enough, and another five hundred are added.

This is often the case in the world. The more Gu Yanwu was worried about, the more it became a fact. The hungry people who were working on water conservancy were instigated by the spies of the Qing Dynasty! For a moment, the situation was out of control! And under the call of attacking the government and fighting for food, responders gathered!

If the government's grain is robbed, the people in the three counties will not be able to obtain the distribution of grain, and the situation will be even more difficult.

The people composed of hungry people quickly surrounded Lingbao County. There were more than 3,000 hungry people, and they surrounded Lingbao County layer by layer and had to obtain food.

Like this, Gu Yanwu was in a desperate situation. At the same time, he also knew that Zhang Biwu's situation was not good... Gu Yanwu had no idea. Could it be that the three counties entrusted by Zhang Biwu were lost?

At this time, unexpected things happened! In this way, the siege of the Lingbao was solved. What was going on? We have to look back and describe the incident of Zhang Biwu following Zuo Liangyu to fight against Agate Mountain, and then recount the siege of the Lingbao.

Looking back, Zuo Liangyu saw that the official army was unable to gain a advantage when he attacked Agate Mountain. He was defeated by the rebels again and again. However, he was calm and said, "Get back! Come and capture Agate Mountain tomorrow!"

"Ah?" Zhang Biwu looked at Zuo Liangyu incomprehensible, not understanding what medicine was sold in Zuo Liangyu's gourd.

Zuo Liangyu smiled and said, "Guoxiong! Look at it! As long as there is victory, I can defeat the rebel army on the other side! The rebel army can't do anything to us! Maybe they can capture Zhang Xianzhong! Haha!"

Zhang Biwu thought to himself: "Which side? What's going on with the other side Zuo Liangyu said?" But he was not inconvenient to ask more questions, and he would understand by then.

The next day, early in the morning, Zuo Liangyu not only gathered his troops, but also asked the Qin army to come together, saying that it was time to make contributions.

Zuo Liangyu was waiting, he waited patiently, and he looked at the top of the mountain. Although the sky was not bright, the lights on the top of the mountain were bright, so he knew that the rebel army had not relaxed its vigilance.

Suddenly, the sound of killing behind the mountain shook the sky, and the fire was rising into the sky. Zuo Liangyu smiled and said, "Okay! I think Liu Guoneng should have succeeded! Everyone is ready! Capture the city in one go! Scream to me, Zhang Xianzhong was captured! I attacked Zhang Xianzhong's old camp!"

When Zhang Biwu heard this, he realized that Zuo Liangyu had already sent an army to attack Zhang Xianzhong's old camp. No wonder he was so calm. He couldn't capture yesterday, so he stopped his troops. This was confusing Zhang Xianzhong!

Suddenly, Zuo Liangyu's army, He Renlong and Li Guoqi's Qin army were even more encouraged, and they roared and killed them.

When the rebels saw that the old camp was attacked, they had been panicked. Now they saw that the official army was coming very fiercely, which was different from yesterday. The rebels could not resist it, and they also knew that Zhang Kewang had already led his army to support the old camp, and his morale was disintegrating, so naturally he could not resist the attack of the official army.

The Agate Mountain was captured by Zuo Liangyu, and he also checked the results of the battle. Although he could not capture Zhang Xianzhong, he killed more than 3,500 rebels and seized the big sword with the words "Tianci Flying Knife" carried by Zhang Xianzhong. That was because when he attacked Zhang Xianzhong's old camp, Zhang Xianzhong was still sleeping. Before he could wear his Tianci Flying Knife, he quickly came out to face the battle. Later, in order to escape, he didn't even bother to ask for this love knife.

Moreover, the tiger talisman engraved with the words "Eight Kings of Xiying Chengtian Clarify Sichuan Mountain", the golden dragon stick, the flag, the arrow, the money used for divination, and the wife and concubines Ao and Gao were captured by the official army. The tenth anti-king king Yang Youzi surrendered. Xianzhong's military advisor Pan Duao hid in the woods and was also captured by the official army.

As for Zhang Xianzhong's secretly engraved seals of the government's governor, general, military preparations, prefectures, prefectures, prefectures, prefectures, counties and other seals were not seized by Zuo Liangyu when Zhang Xianzhong attacked Xiangyang later. This is a later story.

If Zhang Biwu's garrison seal was not smaller than normal size, Zhang Xianzhong would have killed Zhang Biwu with his privately made garrison seal on the letter.

Okay! Go back to the main point. Zhang Xianzhong was lucky enough to get his personal soldiers to break through the siege, and Zhang Kewang led his army to rescue Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong's military advisor Xu Yixian was seriously injured, but fortunately he still saved his life. Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons are still there, and his generals are not lost. His strength is still very strong.

After Zhang Xianzhong's defeat, the morale of the official army was strong, and the official army took advantage of the victory to pursue it. On the ninth day of the third month, the Shaanxi official army He Renlong and Li Guoqi's troops defeated Zhang Xianzhong's uprising army at Hanxi Temple.

The rebel army suffered 1,300 people, the generals of Xianzhong, Yilong (Xue Chengcai), and the Shun Tianwang of the Right Envoy (He Guoxian) led more than 2,000 people to surrender. The next day, the official army chased to Yanjing, and the rebel army lost another 651 people, and two tigers in the front camp surrendered with more than 1,000 people.

On the way to retreat west, the 6,000 troops of the Sichuan official army Zhang Ling's troops were surrounded in Kejiaping. It was not until the Hubei official army arrived that Xianzhong rescued the siege. On March 15, the Shaanxi official army chased and killed the rebel army in Mugao River, and more than 1,200 soldiers of the rebel army died.

Zhang Xianzhong was defeated and then fled into Xing, returned to the mountains, and then entered Xing'an and Fangxian areas. These places had a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which was conducive to Zhang Xianzhong's respite. He also used money to give the residents in the mountains, allowing the residents to act as his ears and ears. In this way, the official army did not know where Zhang Xianzhong was hiding. The mountain was extremely dangerous, and the official army was afraid of casualties, so naturally they did not dare to attack Zhang Xianzhong.

Yang Sichang originally thought that Zuo Liangyu would not be able to defeat Zhang Xianzhong within three months, but he did not expect that Zhang Xianzhong would be defeated now, and Zhang Xianzhong's wives, concubines, counselors and a large number of people were captured. For example, Zhang Dajing, Ma Tingbao, and Xu Qizuo, who were originally the Ming Dynasty, died in the chaos of the army under Zuo Liangyu's attack.

Since Zuo Liangyu defeated Zhang Xianzhong, he naturally had to submit a report to the court to make Emperor Chongzhen happy. The captured Ao family, Gao family and Pan Duao were imprisoned in Xiangyang Prison, and Fei Zhang reported the victory to the court. Of course, Yang Sichang also said that his plan was successful and he would have such a great victory.

After receiving the reward, Chongzhen was extremely happy and awarded silver and other items. He also ordered the Minister of War Chen Xinjia to formulate a reward for the generals and urged Yang Sichang to take advantage of the victory to eliminate Zhang Xianzhong.

At the same time, Chongzhen also sharpened his knife more and he insisted that Li Guorui spit out the money! Li Guorui was the nephew of Empress Dowager Xiaoding. Because Chongzhen asked him to pay military salaries, he did not pay. He had money. Even his shoes had several pairs of pearl shoes, and each pair was worth hundreds of taels. Not to mention other rare antiques that were priceless, but he was stingy and could not bear to donate one son, which angered Chongzhen and imprisoned him in prison.

The royal relatives fought against Chongzhen with all their methods and did not want to donate their wages, but Li Guorui was killed. However, Li Guorui was afraid of the crime in the end and knew that he could not fight, so he committed suicide.

Chongzhen refused to let the Li family go, and ordered the house to be confiscated. He found that the Li family's property was more than one million yuan, and the Li family could take out the money he wanted, which made Chongzhen even more annoyed! It seemed that so many royal relatives who were crying and poor had countless property, and they had to force them to pay for their money.
