"The old immortal is good at it." Zhu Cilang sincerely praised. After seeing Min Zhan's kung fu, he realized that the Wu family has been passed down from generation to generation. It was just a secret left by going to battle to kill enemies, and it was not the secret that later novelists imagined flying over the eaves and walls and doing righteousness.

Now that I have seen this old Taoist, I have good health and agile body, and I must have a background.

Min Ziruo looked like he was facing a great enemy. Compared with the old Taoist, he was already at a disadvantage.

"I have seen an official in Guo Jingzhong." The Taoist priest bowed slightly, which was considered a salute.

Zhu Cixuan raised his head slightly, said oh, "So it's Mr. Huanyang."

Guo Jingzhong looked surprised and said, "You have heard of me?"

"Haha," Zhu Cixuan smiled and said, "I dare to ask, sir, do you have a disciple who is a famous scholar in Jinzhong and surnamed Fu Mingshan?"

Guo Jing was aware of it and said, "It turns out that the official has heard of the name of a young disciple. This really benefits his honor, hahaha."

Fu Shan, Fu Qingzhu, is named Zhenshan. According to the Quanzhen Longmen "My morals and the true silence, and the true and always guard the Taiqing" school, he is the sixth generation disciple. Although Fu Shan is famous for his medical skills and later called him "Medical Saint", Fu Shan should have just been in contact with medicine at this time. The wise master who teaches Fu Shan's medicine and swordsman is this young man Guo Jingzhong.

Guo Jingzhong's reputation was not obvious, but he was able to still run on the secret front of the anti-Qing and restoring Ming Dynasty after the fall of the Ming Dynasty. He was eighty-year-old and instigated an uprising, which was also a strange man of his generation.

"Sir, are you going to Henan?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

"Otherwise," Guo Jingzhong took the hot water and took a sip, "I am here for the officials."

Zhu Cixuan knew Guo Jingzhong's position and background, so of course he didn't have to worry about him plotting against him. He smiled and said, "I wonder what can I do to serve the teacher?"

"I dare not take it." Guo Jingzhong owed his body, took out a gift bag from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

If Min Ziruo took it like this, Zhu Cilang had already raised his hand to take it over, opened the brocade bag and pulled out the silk book. During the Tang Dynasty, silk paper was used together, and by the Song Dynasty, few people had written silk books. The white silk in front of him was densely covered with fly heads. However, the serious silk book was a sign of respect, and the other was to avoid paper damage.

Zhu Cilang shook the silk book and read it from the beginning, and his heart suddenly felt turbulent.

This silk book was written by Yuan Zongdi, the general of the rebel army who is now in charge of Pingyang and Puzhou prefectures.

When Li Zicheng entered Beijing, Yuan Zongdi fought against Bai Wang in Huguang. Zuo Liangyu was a fighter with Bai Wang. Zuo Liangyu was a bandit, not not not able to fight. Bai Wang, a pig-like teammate, was indeed too dragged on his back, so Yuan Zongdi was helpless. Later, when he heard that the "Emperor" was defeated, he hurriedly brought 50,000 or 60,000 people north to serve the king. When he arrived in Pingyang, he received the news that Dashun gave up Beijing. By the way, he stationed in Pingyang as a barrier to resist the Qing army's annexation of Shanxi.

Pingyang and Puzhou are located in the southwest of Shanxi. Especially Pingyang Prefecture, located between Luliang Mountain and Taihang Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is a big river in the west, Wangwu Mountain in the east, and Zhongtiao Mountain in the southeast, which is also difficult to capture. People say that Shanxi is "mountain and rivers on the outside". In these two prefectures, it is indeed a big mountain and a river as Pingfan.

Now that Li Zicheng has even given up on Shaanxi, Zhu Cilang has recaptured Henan in one fell swoop. On the west side of Yuan Zongdi are Wu Sangui and Sanshun Kings; on the north side are Meng Qiaofang and Ye Chen. I heard that Duoduo and Ajige are about to lead troops to arrive; on the east side are old rivals, Niu Chenghu. This is really surrounded and cannot even fly out.

What's worse is that Yuan Zongdi had only 50,000 or 60,000 people under his command, and he was seriously short of food and supplies. Seeing that the Qinghuang was not in contact with him, there was no place to collect Luo's military rations. At this time, let alone resisting desperately, even if the Qing army did not fight, the morale of the Shun army would have collapsed. And if Zuo Guang had not threatened Meng Qiaofang in Taiyuan Prefecture first, the Qing army would have already gone south to Pingyang, and would have waited until now?

"So Mianhou is really desperate." Zhu Cixuan finished reading the silk book and looked at Guo Jingzhong and said, "So the gentleman is here to be a lobbyist for the thief?"

Guo Jingzhong's face remained calm and said, "The old Taoist is not a lobbyist for the thief, but to save troops for the Ming Dynasty." He said, "Yuan Zongdi still has 50,000 people. Most of them are fighting for a hundred battles. The trapped beasts are still fighting, let alone people?" Seeing that Zhu Cilang's face was not turbulent, Guo Jingzhong continued, "What's more, the Qing army is afraid that the officers and soldiers will cover their way out, and the officers and soldiers are afraid of sending troops to Pingyang, so that the Qing army can take advantage of it in vain. Therefore, Your Highness said that Mianhou was desperate, so I did not agree."

Zhu Cilang smiled slightly, and he couldn't help but admire the old Taoist priest for hitting the nail on the head and hitting the nail on the head.

This is indeed the main reason why the battle situation in Shanxi is stalemate.

Meng Qiaofang could not defeat Yuxian, and Zuo Guang first was like a sharp knife in his heart. Once the Qing army went south, not to mention the grain route, even Taiyuan might not be able to be protected. The Niu Chenghu army of the Ming army was unable to advance west for a long time, and he was worried that the troops would be insufficient. At that time, the two-line battle would benefit the Qing fishermen.

"What's more, Yuan Zongdi was also inspired by the "Appointment of Amnesty". He hoped to achieve a rebellion and work with the officers and soldiers in the east and south to conquer Taiyuan." Guo Jing said in the middle.

"Speaking of this, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the pseudo-Shun, they are all Chinese clothes and clothes, but the Qing Dynasty was a barbarian who ate raw meat and drank blood. Naturally, it was the best strategy to work together to expel the Tartars." Zhu Cixuan said: "However, the bandits surrendered several times and rebelled again, and there was no trust and righteousness at all."

Guo Jingzhong smiled: "If the Shun Army kneels down and surrenders in the battle formation, will Your Highness also kill them? From Bai Wang and Liu Fangliang's perspective, it may not be possible."

"Can they completely put down their weapons and obey the reorganization?" Zhu Cilang smiled. He was not a god of killing, and there was no reason to kill his people. As long as the root of the chaos was eliminated, he could naturally accept the surrender of the army. Now he also felt Luo Yukun's feelings: the acquisition of tens of thousands of people is indeed more troublesome than attacking an equal number of enemies.

"The Yuan family's book has been written very clearly, and they are willing to come and see him." Guo Jingzhong said: "What are your doubts?"

"Aren't he afraid that I will treason and kill him?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

Guo Jingzhong smiled and said, "The old Taoist once told him: If Your Highness wants to kill him, he will accompany him to die."

"Why did you trust me so much when you met me for the first time?" Zhu Cixuan was quite surprised.

"Your Highness is the lord of the true life world, and his ambition is in the world. Even if it is a person like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, in the eyes of Your Highness, how could he make things difficult for a small person like an ant and mustard seed? I believe that Your Highness has a broad mind and also believes that Your Highness can avoid misfortune." Guo Jingzhong smiled.

——This is the graceful annotation of the pragmatists.

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "I will write a letter in hand and order people to pass it on to Yuan Zongdi. The court has its own system of famous titles, and fake titles cannot be used anymore. All the soldiers, including Yuan, will give them money to disperse; those who are willing to farm can divide the land as appropriate; those who are willing to stay and fight Jiannu can stay in the army for training, treating them equally, and rewarding merits and punishments, which is no different."

"This is enough." Guo Jingzhong nodded.

This condition should have far exceeded Yuan Zongdi's expectations.

Zhu Cilang immediately wrote a letter according to this and signed it openly in the imperial Ming Zhu Cilang. Because the seals of the Eastern Palace were all in the hands of Lu Suyao, he could only apply charcoal ashes and press the handprints.

Guo Jingzhong took the reply, entered his sleeve, and said, "I will return to Zezhou as the same way and then head west. I dare to ask you to go with Your Highness."

Min Ziruo looked at the crown prince nervously. Zhu Cilang said, "I dare not ask for it." He immediately said to Min Ziruo: "I ordered the right governor Min Zhanlian to bring his men to Pingyang Mansion, and prepare to incorporate the Yuan Zong's unit. The number of people reorganized is controlled below 15,000."

Min Ziruo received the order and came out.

Guo Jingzhong laughed and said, "You are the one who believes in elite soldiers. Only after hearing this today can you know that the rumors are true."

Zhu Cilang smiled slightly and agreed. He suddenly smelled the smell of charred plants and trees behind him, thinking that there was a fire. When he turned around, he saw that the tea shop owner lit a large handful of bad fragrance pressed out of the ashes of plants and trees. He bowed to himself and kowtowed, and murmured: "Taiweixingjun, the Great Heavenly Lord, are above, please be worshipped by the old man's cigarette."

"Brother-in-law, you have a good fortune, but you can meet the living Taiwei King." Guo Jingzhong was so old that he still didn't forget to joke. Zhu Cilang couldn't help laughing and laughed out loud.
