The King of Qin was furious and wanted to lead an army of 70,000 to attack Weinan again and remove Lu Xiangsheng, the thorn in his side.

Lu Xiangsheng also had great ambitions and wanted to take advantage of Hong Chengchou's reinforcements to defeat the rebels of the Qin King and take over the Tiantian merits of suppressing the Qin King's rebellion.

Unfortunately, the King of Qin and Lu Xiangsheng made a mistake in their plan. Before the two sides started fighting, Hong Chengchou had already led 50,000 reinforcements to Weinan and joined forces with 15,000 troops under Lu Xiangsheng's command.

The 50,000 reinforcements led by Hong Chengchou, including 30,000 border troops in Yansui Town, the expanded Tianwu Army, 11,000 Tianba Army, the Iron Cavalry of the Yongwei Camp and the New Army in Shaanxi were also expanded, with 3,000 and 6,000 respectively.

Lu Xiangsheng's command had 4,000 Tianxiong troops. After the 12,000 surrendered soldiers who had surrendered, they executed 400 of the tragedies that harmed Weinan and eliminated the 600 elderly, weak and disabled, the remaining 11,000 surrendered soldiers were recruited into the official army.

In this way, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng combined more than 65,000 troops, only more than 5,000 fewer than the rebels of the Qin King.

When Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng joined forces, the troops suddenly increased to 65,000. After receiving the news, the King of Qin was even more shocked, causing trouble for the entire Qin Palace to be uneasy.

"Prince, please spare me!"

"ah!"

A scream came from the Qin King's dormitory again. Soon, two eunuchs from the royal palace carried the body of a concubine out. Wherever they went, the Qin King's mansion was silent and did not even dare to breathe.

This situation has occurred several times after Wang Kaiyuan's defeat in Weinan. The King of Qin could not help Lu Xiangsheng for a while. Wang Kaiyuan died in Weinan again. The King of Qin, who had nowhere to vent his anger, vented his anger on his concubine. After each venting, the concubine was either dead or injured. It was no wonder that everyone in the Qin Palace was already accustomed to it.

After venting, the King of Qin finally stabilized his emotions, and attracted Zhang Yongjiang, Mo Kaixuan, a group of civil and military officials and Zhang Pu to discuss how to deal with the imperial army's conquest.

"Everyone, it's less than ten days after my king's rebellion. Hong Chengchou brought 50,000 troops to suppress me. In addition, Lu Xiangsheng from Weinan, there are more than 60,000 official troops. What should I do?"

In the hall, Zhu Cunshu was worried and asked his subordinates for advice, especially for Zhang Pu. Zhu Cunshu had great expectations. After all, Zhang Pu once offered him a strategy to contact Mongolia to cooperate with others, which made the imperial government army have no time to support Shaanxi, and the Qin King swept over half of Shaanxi at the beginning of his rebellion, which was a great contribution.

But Zhu Cunshu overestimated Zhang Pu. If you talk about poetry, articles, conspiracies and tricks, Zhang Pu is indeed one of the few geniuses in the world, but if you talk about military strategy, he will be completely blind.

Hearing Zhu Cunshu's advice and his eyes with great anticipation, Zhang Pu deliberately lowered his head and pretended to turn a blind eye.

At this time, Zhang Pu not only wasn't in the mood to give advice for the King of Qin, but had already begun to think about how he would get out after the King of Qin was defeated.

The reason why Zhang Pu still lived a free and comfortable life when Chongzhen wanted him all over the world was because of his innate sense of crisis.

He had already predicted that compared with the well-trained and brave Shaanxi official army, the King of Qin had no chance at all. He could not stay too much on the King of Qin's broken ship, and failed with the King of Qin.

As for Zhang Yongjiang, Mo Kaixuan and other subordinates of the Qin Prince's Mansion, their level was even worse. Like Zhang Pu, they all lowered their heads and couldn't hold it up for a long time.

The King of Qin had no choice but to name it directly: "Mr. Zhang Pu, you have always been resourceful, have you ever planned to break this crisis?"

With a "swish", the other ministers also turned their attention to Zhang Pu, hoping that Zhang Pu would come up with a good plan.

Zhang Pu smiled on his face, and he thought that the damn King of Qin was still dependent on me, and even asked me for advice on military formation.

However, Zhang Pu did not disappoint everyone's expectations. With the great expectations of the King of Qin and everyone, he actually came up with a plan.

Zhang Pu stroked his beard and looked mysterious and said calmly: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much. Although the official army has more than 60,000 people, the Qin King has 70,000 troops, which still has an advantage in numbers over the official army.

Of course, considering that the government troops are all well-trained elites, this advantage in military strength is about nothing. However, the prince is guarding the Xi'an City, so he is sure that it will be difficult for the official troops to break through Xi'an City.

If the prince is still worried, he can summon the guards of the major families in Xi'an City to join the army. Xi'an is a famous city in the world, with hundreds of famous families. As long as each family contributes three or four hundred guards, he can add 30,000 to 40,000 troops.

In this way, the prince had 100,000 troops, and 100,000 to 60,000. The prince was still the guardian of the city. I really couldn't imagine that the prince would be defeated."

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Cunshu smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang is indeed the king's Zhuge Wuhou. As long as the wealthy families in Xi'an offer all the servants and guards, what's the difficulty of my king's troops once again exceeding 100,000?"

Zhang Yongjiang was unhappy and Zhang Pu made a big splash and deliberately poured cold water on his face, saying, "But the prince, are the major families in the city willing to present their servants' guards to the prince?"

"Hmph!" Zhu Cunshu snorted coldly, "When I first started the rebellion, the patriarchs of the major tribes in Xi'an came to the book king one by one, saying that even if all the family wealth was spent, they would help me seize the world. Now I don't want their family wealth. As long as their family guards, would they dare not agree?"

When Zhang Yongjiang heard the arrogant and unreasonable words of the King of Qin, he had nothing to say.

Zhu Cunshu paused, his eyes fell on Mo Kaixuan, and said to Mo Kaixuan: "Qixuan, you are the most trusted general of this king. The task of recruiting the guards of the major families is to you. Do you have the confidence to complete it?"

Mo Kaixuan was the commander-in-chief of the Xi'an Guards. Before the King of Qin had even raised his army, he colluded with the King of Qin. The relationship between him and the King of Qin was already a prosperous and both prosperous and both rich and loss.

Therefore, when Mo Kaixuan heard the task assigned by the King of Qin, he immediately said neatly: "Don't worry, the last general will definitely recruit no less than 30,000 guards for the prince. If one person is missing, the last general will take the head of the last general's neck."

Zhu Cunshu looked at Mo Kaixuan with satisfaction, nodded and said, "You should relieve me, go, I will wait for your good news!"

...

At the same time, after Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng joined, 65,000 officials drove towards Xi'an City. Wherever they went along the way, similar to the situation where the King of Qin swept across most of Shaanxi. Local officials who were scrambling to surrender to the King of Qin's rebels ten days ago also scrambled to apologize and surrender to the official army of the court.

Perhaps because of his origins in a bureaucratic family, Hong Chengchou's attitude towards local officials who requested surrender was completely different from his previous attitude towards the killing of all refugee troops.

Although Hong Chengchou did not overestimate the emperor to forgive the local officials, he gave the local officials the opportunity to redeem their sins. He recruited more than 30,000 soldiers from all over the country and counties to join the imperial army that was exterminated and suppressed the rebels of the Qin King.

Hong Chengchou's actions were deeply rooted in the essence of Taizu's unity of all forces. Although the local county soldiers had weak combat power, the imperial army was facing a strong city like Xi'an. If Xi'an was taken down, a large number of cannon fodder would have to be sacrificed. These tens of thousands of local troops who were fickle in Qin and Chu were undoubtedly the best cannon fodder candidates.

The 65,000 army brought together more than 30,000 local troops, and the imperial court's troops reached 100,000. It can be said that in terms of number, it has exceeded the 70,000 soldiers of the Qin King's rebel army.

In Xi'an City, when the King of Qin learned that the imperial government's army had grown stronger again, he was even more anxious and hurriedly urged Mo Kaixuan to speed up the recruitment of major families, in order to surpass the imperial government's army again in terms of the number of troops.

Under the repeated urging of the King of Qin, Mo Kaixuan no longer cared about treating each other with courtesy and began to turn against the major families and force the major families to hand over the guards of the clerks, otherwise he would be rude to the major families.

Although the major families were full of complaints, under the threat of Mo Kaixuan's force, they had to hand over all the guards in the family. Mo Kaixuan forced nearly 40,000 guards to join the Qin King's rebel army.

As a result, the total number of Qin King's rebels reached 110,000, and they regained the advantage in military strength. The Qin King, who was in panic all day long, settled a little.

...

A day later, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Yang Sichang and other generals rushed to the city of Xi'an. Behind them, a hundred thousand troops swept overwhelmed, and were covered in darkness.

When people were boundless, not to mention as many as 100,000 people, the rebels on the city wall saw the scene below, and many people were so scared that their legs became weak and they could hardly stand firmly.

Zhu Cunshu, who received the news, led Zhang Yongjiang, Mo Kaixuan and other civil and military personnel to climb the city wall hurriedly. Looking at the densely packed imperial army below, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and a huge sense of fear gradually came to his heart.

In the final analysis, Zhu Cunshu was just a pampered bag that had been kept for most of his life. At the instigation of Zhang Pu and a group of staff, Zhu Cunshu, who was so stupid, decided to rebel without considering too much, but he did not know that this was a way of returning either by life or death.

In front of the 100,000 army, Hong Chengchou took a trumpet from a personal soldier and shouted loudly: "Listen, Your Majesty remembers that your plan and rebellion are all coerced by the King of Qin. He issued an order to forgive you if you make up for trouble and surrender to the court. If you offer the head of the King of Qin, you can imitate the old rules of Xinjianbo and give him a title of Count, and give him ten thousand taels of silver and a thousand acres of fertile land!"

The speakers produced by the Sixing Supervisor are becoming more and more advanced. Hong Chengchou held the speaker and shouted loudly. Almost half of Xi'an City heard Hong Chengchou's voice.

When they heard clearly the great reward from the court to those who offered the head of the Qin King, many of them failed in their management and immediately showed a look of eagerness to try.

However, after all, there are large troops around the King of Qin. Even though many rebels were a little moved, they did not dare to take action. They lowered their heads and prevented others from seeing their abnormalities...

When Zhu Cunshu heard Hong Chengchou's shouting, his face suddenly became extremely ugly. He subconsciously stayed away from several generals, afraid that the generals would start a sudden attack, so he cut off his head and asked the court for credit.

Seeing the cowardly performance of the King of Qin, many rebel generals felt discouraged and felt that it was not worth it for their own life to follow such a wine bag.

"Ahem!"

Zhang Yongjiang quickly coughed, reminding the King of Qin that he had lost his composure.

Hearing Zhang Yongjiang's cough, Zhu Cunshu realized that I, I, have been hit by Hong Chengchou's plan to distract him!

In order to save the situation, Zhu Cunshu couldn't help but shout with all his strength: "Hong Chengchou, don't bewitching people's hearts. Zhu Youjian's foolish monarch favors eunuchs and frames loyal and kindness. The people of the world have suffered for a long time!

The reason why this king raised an army was to follow the will of heaven, make the people of the world, and make plans for the ancestors and ancestors. He did not want the country of the Ming Dynasty to be destroyed by Zhu Youjian for the 250th anniversary!

Hong Chengchou, I think you have some ability to quell the rebellion of refugees in Shaanxi. You might as well give up secrets and turn to the open and join me. I promise that as long as you can assist me to take over the capital and drive Zhu Youjian off the throne, I can allow you to be the throne of the emperor."

The words of the King of Qin made many rebel soldiers calm down a little, but the generals such as Mo Kaixuan looked bad. After all, they had been following the King of Qin for a long time, and the King of Qin had not promised them the title of Duke and Marquis, but they promised it to Hong Chengchou, the enemy in front of him, which of course made them feel very unhappy.

However, Hong Chengchou was not grateful and said disdainfully: "Zhu Cunshu, let your mother gossip! I am also a person who is familiar with the books of sages. If you keep your loyalty, righteousness, integrity and shame in your heart, how can you betray the emperor and follow you, an unfaithful and unrighteous person!"

Hearing Hong Chengchou's ugly words, the arrogant Zhu Cunshu could not bear it. He immediately shouted at the archer: "Come on, shoot me, shoot Hong Chengchou, this ignorant dog, to death!"

When the archer heard the order of the King of Qin, he didn't think about it and immediately set off his bow and shot at Hong Chengchou.

However, the distance between the city walls and Hong Chengchou was as high as 300 steps. Before the arrows shot by the archers fell to the ground, they were still 250 steps, which caused the imperial army to laugh and humiliate the rebels of the Qin King.

Seeing that the morale was available, Hong Chengchou immediately shouted in a deep voice: "The soldiers obeyed the orders and bombarded the city wall with an incense stick of all the troops attacked the city. Someone who killed the King of Qin and was crowned the earl!"

When the 100,000 soldiers heard the order, they were so excited that they could not help but feel excited that they could immediately put on their wings and fly to the top of the city to slash the King of Qin.

This is an earl. It is rare for everyone to know how titles of the Ming Dynasty are. If they can be named the Count, the glory of the ancestors, they will be willing to die next moment. After all, the title can be passed on to their descendants and retire with the country.

"Boom boom boom!"

With Hong Chengchou's order, thousands of soldiers moved to both sides, revealing the artillery positions that had been prepared. Dozens of Fran machine cannons, tiger squat cannons roared and shells flew up the city walls.

"Protect the prince!"

"The prince is a body of thousands of gold, hurry up and retreat from the city wall!"

Seeing dozens of artillery shells falling down, the soldiers around the King of Qin were shocked and advised the King of Qin to retreat from the city wall to ensure safety.

The King of Qin also looked at the artillery attacks of the government army with his old eyes and said disdainfully: "It's just a few salted duck eggs, how can I do anything to me?"

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a shell hit the battlement of the city wall, and countless bricks and stones flew across, and the half-meter-long city wall collapsed.
Chapter completed!
