Chapter 246 One-way transparency
Another spy came to report: "The humble position has been discovered. Zuo Menggeng wants to lead the entire army north to Luoyang and surrender to Jiannu! In addition, our army also obtained a military situation. The left army general Ma Jinzhong and Wang Yuncheng seemed unwilling to surrender to Jiannu. Hou Fangyu, the son of Hou Xun, was also in the left army, and Huang Shu, the former Kaifeng Promoter, was also a treacherous minister who planned Zuo Menggeng to surrender to the Qing Dynasty."
"Hou Fangyu? Is that guy who was beaten up by me last time in Huai'an?" Zhao Peng asked.
The spy replied, "It was this person. When Hou Xun, the father of this son, was appointed as the Minister of Revenue, he had kindness to Zuo Liangyu. After the uncle beat Hou Fangyu that day, the son joined Zuo Liangyu with his family. He heard that this person had a beautiful concubine named Li Xiangjun. Xiangjun was originally in Nanjing, but because of Ruan Dacheng, he fled to Wuchang to find Hou Fangyu. This woman was also in Zuo Menggeng's army at this time."
Although Zhao Peng is a novice in history, he still knows the names of Hou Fangyu and Li Xiangjun. The famous "Peach Blossom Fan" in later generations tells the story of Li Xiangjun and Hou Fangyu. When Zhao Peng was in middle school, his history teacher once told Li Xiangjun when he was giving lectures. In the drama "Peach Blossom Fan", Li Xiangjun cut off his love thread because he saw Hou Fangyu wearing Qing official uniforms and became a nun.
For this reason, Zhao Peng also specially spent Li Xiangjun on Baidu. The real history of Li Xiangjun has a different ending from the Peach Blossom Fan. In the end, she did not become a monk or a nun, but was expelled from the manor because she was envied by the eldest wife of Hou Fangyu's family and was driven to live in the Hou Manor outside Guide City. Because there was no one around, Li Xiangjun was depressed all day long and became ill over time. She had no choice but to die of tuberculosis. She was thirty years old.
"It's Hou Fangyu again! This time I must not let this guy go!" Zhao Peng said gritting his teeth. He was an upright man in his previous life, especially a scumbag with a greasy head and a pink face.
As a man with normal psychology, Zhao Peng does not object to three wives and four concubines. This conforms to the laws of nature. Where is enough for male animals to accompany only one female animal? Male lions have a group of female lions, and a few roosters have a group of hens. One male has more females, which conforms to the laws of nature. A big man can conquer the world, have wealth, and a strong man, it is not normal for a few more women?
But those guys with greasy heads and flour are powerless and rely on women for a long time to make a living. In Zhao Peng's eyes, such scumbags are not even human. What's more, in the war era, such scumbags are often traitors who sell their country and seek honor. People with bad character will never be good at any time.
Zhao Peng secretly swore in his heart: To catch this scumbag, he would definitely let him enjoy the various sets of Jinyiwei. So he sent an order and said, "When you see Hou Fangyu, you must catch them alive!"
Zhang Cunren led the Qing army to wipe out the Yuyuan army, digging the Yellow River embankment, and flooding the Yuyuan army was the vicious idea of Hou Fangyu. Many strong men were killed by this scumbag.
Thinking of what the spy said just now, Ma Jinzhong and Wang Yuncheng were unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Zhao Peng found a breakthrough, so he turned to Wang Quan and ordered: "Wang Quan, you can speed twenty Falcon players and one hundred Jinyiwei to stop the whistle at night, and set off to find the two generals Ma Jinzhong and Wang Yuncheng, and persuade them to escape from Zuo Menggeng and surrender to us."
"No!" Wang Quan said with politeness.
Afterwards, twenty Falcon players and one hundred Jinyiwei cavalry set out without stopping their whistle at night and marched towards Wuchang.
Twenty Falcon players, each carrying two self-generated tiger-winged guns and four new hair-pulling thunders, and five other magic gunmen, each carrying a self-generated gun with rifled inner bore.
A long rifle is a rare item. Zhao Peng has only twelve pieces in his hand so far. The boring line of the long barrel is no longer as simple as a short barrel. The boring line of the short barrel is much simpler. The boring line of the short barrel is much cheaper than the long barrel in terms of cost and labor. The boring line of the long barrel is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the cost is seven or eight times that of the short barrel.
The long-rift flintlock rifle was named by Zhao Peng as the self-generated poisonous musket. Five of the Jinyiwei Falcon Squad were equipped with the remaining seven of them. The Jinyiwei Ye Buying Fukuo has an effective range of astonishing one mile! Zhao Peng also made his own scope, and the rifled gun with the scope was in the hands of the sharpshooter, which could snipe the enemy generals at 300 steps.
Wang Quan set out with twenty Falcons and one hundred Jinyiwei cavalry. The rest of Jinyiwei cavalry were not idle either. They were in Xinyang, Luoshan to Nanyang, and the farthest Yebuku, and even ran to Anlu and Yunmeng areas to monitor the Zuo family army, but the Zuo family army did not find the Yebukuku cavalry lurking nearby.
Zhao Peng reformed the military uniforms of the Jinyiwei. The military uniforms of the Jinyiwei's whistle-receiving cavalry at night were all changed to light green. When lurking, they were covered with a green net and hung with branches and grass, and were ambushed in the woods. It was difficult for the enemy to find them. Moreover, each group of the Yewei's whistle-receiving cavalry was equipped with a pair of thousands of miles mirrors, which made the Yewei's whistle-receiving cavalry not need to approach the enemy, which greatly reduced the danger of being discovered on its own side, and the enemy's every move could not escape their eyelids.
The new Ming army was waiting for the help of the Zuo family army to come from Runing to Yingzhou. After leaving Wuchang on November 20, the first year of Wushuo, the Zuo family army marched northward, less than 30 miles a day, and more than 600 miles from Wuchang to Runing, the Zuo family army had been walking for half a month and had not yet arrived in Runing.
The spy of the Jinyiwei Guard and Ye Bu Shuo Cavalry monitored the movements of the Zuo Family Army along the way. The Ming New Army can be said to be one-way transparent to the Zuo Family Army. Zuo Menggeng's every move could not escape Zhao Peng's eyes.
The hilly terrain in southern Henan Province, a winding official road between the hills and the hills extends forward, and a huge team walked slowly northward from the official road to the south. The team was wearing a banner with the word "left". In the front of the team were some elite soldiers, with some thin leather or cotton armor on their bodies, and the soldiers behind were ragged clothes, almost like refugees.
In fact, General Zuo, who was known as 800,000, only 200,000, and the elite of them was no more than 30,000, and the others were miscellaneous soldiers. Moreover, many of the miscellaneous soldiers of the Zuo family army were recruited refugees, and their combat effectiveness was not worth mentioning at all. Because of this, in real history, Chongzhen asked Zuo Liangyu to go to Beijing to serve the king, and he did not dare to go. The Qing army went south, and Zuo Menggeng, who was known as an army of 800,000, surrendered directly.

The Zuo family army passed by, and Zhao Peng's Yebushu stared at them all the way. Their every move fell into the Ming army's Yebushu's eyes. The Zuo family army did not find Yebushu who was ambushing the roadside.
The spies and Ye Busu discovered that after arriving at Luoshan, the Zuo family army did not go north and went directly towards Runing, but turned northwest and headed towards Nanyang.
In fact, the original destination of the Zuo family army was Luoyang. From Wuchang to Luoyang, the nearest route should be to Xiangyang by water, and then through Nanyang by land to Luoyang. However, Xiangyang was in Li Zicheng's hands, and Zuo Menggeng dared not go to Xiangyang, so he first walked straight to Luoshan, then turned northwest, and headed to Nanyang, and the final destination was Luoyang.
After discovering the movements of the Zuo family army, the spies and Yebusuo hurriedly returned to Runing to report to Zhao Peng.
