Ming Dynasty: White porridge and pickled mustard, and I am wearing a yellow robe!

Qinzhou!

The current Tianshui area.

At this time, more than 200,000 peasant rebels were gathering here.

The leaders are Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, and Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king.

Of course, Gao Yingxiang's proud subordinates, Li Zicheng!

At the beginning of the year, these people gathered in Yuzhou.

Break through Huoqiu all the way, attack Shouzhou, and enter Yingzhou!

Almost unstoppable!

The

countless rebel armies that broke the city did not know how many officials they had killed and how much grain they had plundered!

Then, before the court could react, these people led their troops south!

Take advantage of the victory to capture Fengyang!

Where is Fengyang?

That's the ancestral land of the Ming Dynasty!

Not only did they burn down the imperial tombs!

None of the officials stationed in Fengyang escaped!

Zhu Youzhen, who learned the news, almost couldn't believe his ears!

While avoiding the temple in plain clothes, crying to the ancestral temple!

While arranging for men to go and suppress the rebels.

Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong, who knew how the imperial court would deal with it, did not hesitate at all!

Immediately divide into small forces!

From Sichuan and Qinling respectively, they entered the Shaanxi border!

Eventually!

They gathered in the Qinzhou area in April!

With 200,000 troops, they are eyeing Xi'an City!

The Guanzhong Plain has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times!

Even, there is a saying!

Taking the Guanzhong Plain is equivalent to taking half of China!

Although there have been continuous famines in Shaanxi in recent years!

This is great bad news for Ming Ting!

But for their rebel army, Shaanxi is the source and hotbed of their army!

They will continue to recruit the homeless into the ranks!

Then, he will lead these people to plunder elsewhere!

Create more homeless people!

As for the problem of not being strong in combat!

They don't care at all!

Because these people are just cannon fodder for them to conquer cities!

Even, a large part of the cannon fodder does not have a decent weapon in their hands!

To sum up!

In the first half of the eighth year of Chongzhen, the rebel army can be said to be in chaos!

But this time has been.

The rebels were in a state of limbo.

First of all.

Hong Chengchou dispatched troops and held all the nearby cities and fortresses!

This greatly affected the range of activities of the rebel army!

And, because of the presence of regular officers and soldiers!

The rebel army, which lacks siege equipment, cannot easily capture the city!

Even if you really capture a small city!

The rewards are so much worse than the costs!

Some of the gains outweigh the losses!

Secondly.

After occupying the Qinzhou area, their original plan was to capture Qingyang Mansion!

In this way, you can besiege the city of Xi'an on three sides!

Even if you can't capture the heavy city of Xi'an!

It can also make the imperial court gather all the soldiers and horses near Xi'an City!

In this way, they can take over the surrounding cities, big and small!

In order to achieve this strategic goal!

They did not hesitate to send elites to set up an ambush in Ningzhou to seek the officers and soldiers of the imperial court!

In the beginning!

It worked!

The rebel army not only captured alive Liu Honglie of the forward army in one fell swoop!

even killed two generals, Ai Wannian and Liu Guozhen!

Taking advantage of the victory, the rebel army set up an ambush in Hutou Town, wanting to ambush the imperial general again!

Seeing that Cao Wenzhao, the old enemy of the rebel army, fell into an ambush circle, he was about to be captured and killed!

The unexpected happened!

Zhengning County, a remote town, has become a variable in their strategy!

Not only rescued Cao Wenzhao!

It swept the entire Ningzhou area!

As a result, the elite units of the rebel army were either killed or surrendered!

Nowadays!

The rebel army can only be trapped in the Qinzhou area!

Know for yourself!

Whether it is Gao Yingxiang or Zhang Xianzhong, they all understand!

Although they have 200,000 rogues in their hands!

But with these rabble in their hands, they can't capture Xi'an City at all!

Even, because of Hong Chengchou's strategy of clearing the wilderness!

As a result, the rebel army is now short of food!

If they can't think of a way, I'm afraid that they will collapse on their own without attacking with officers and soldiers!

"Tall master, what do you have to do?"

Zhang Xianzhong was the first to ask.

As soon as these words came out, all the leaders in the big tent looked towards Gao Yingxiang.

Sitting at the top of the big tent is King Gao Yingxiang!

Gao Yingxiang is not outstanding in terms of height or figure!

Due to his early years as a farmer, his skin was dark and rough.

It doesn't seem to be much different from an ordinary old farmer!

But how can he be a mediocre person who can be embraced by all the leaders and be called the king of Chuang?

Gao Yingxiang was also entangled in his heart at this time!

After so many years of uprising, he has long seen where the disadvantages of the rebel army are!

Although it seems that he is constantly winning battles, and even conquering countless cities!

But these are not enough to make Ming Ting break his bones!

This is because they have always looted towns and then left!

On the one hand, it was because the rebel army was not strong enough to confront the officers and soldiers of the imperial court!

On the other hand, it is because only in this way will the rebel army have more fresh blood to join!

So!

If you want to really shake the behemoth of the Ming Court, the rebel army must change its previous strategic policy!

The first step is to have a base!

So Gao Yingxiang set his sights on the boundary of Shaanxi!

Because Shaanxi has suffered from natural disasters in recent years, the people are struggling to make a living!

Not only can he get countless troops here!

It is even more possible to take advantage of the inability of the imperial court to look west and quickly occupy the Guanzhong Plain!

But now there are variables in the plan, and Gao Yingxiang is also a headache!

But at this time, all the leaders in the big tent are waiting for him to speak, and he has to come up with a countermeasure even if he has a headache!

After being silent for a long time, Gao Yingxiang slowly raised his head and said loudly.

"I propose that the whole army raid the city of Xi'an!".
