Among the generals of the Central Plains at this time, Cao Bianjiao was undoubtedly the one with the greatest qualifications and prestige.

Ding Qirui originally expected him to obey his command and then lead other generals to obey the arrangements. He didn't know that one night, Cao Bianjiao just sat quietly with Shao Derong and others without saying a word.

Seeing that Cao Bianjiao did not speak, Zuo Liangyu and others became more confident. No matter how Ding Qirui cursed, the group of people just kept their attention and made Ding Qirui, Yang Wenyue and others crazy.

"Why don't you let me speak in the supervisor's tent?"

As soon as he returned to his own army, Cao Bianjiao immediately asked Shao Derong.

Shao Derong and Zheng Jingcai both followed Cao Bianjiao Camp and burst into laughter when they heard this.

"The general is brave, no one knows the whole army, but you have seen the situation in the tent just now. People are uneven and they are shirking each other. How can such a large army succeed?"

However, Cao Bianjiao still wondered: "You and I know the roots and bottom of the situation, and each of them has all the elite soldiers. If we join forces, even if the others are as stupid as pigs, so what?"

"What after we go to war?" Zheng Jingcai snatched the words and asked, "If we accidentally dispose of all our elite troops here, who will resist the bandits in the future?"

Cao Bianjiao looked at Shao Derong and Zheng Jingcai without saying a word when he heard this. After a long time of confusion, he spoke:

"Tell me honestly, did my brother arrange for you to do this?"

As soon as Cao Bianjiao said this, Shao Derong immediately showed a look of vigilance, turned around and waved his hand to drive all the guards out of the tent, and covered the curtain himself.

After doing this, he turned around and looked at Cao Bianjiao with a smile and said, "I won't say this in advance. Shao wants to ask the general town. Now the general town of Tianxia thinks there is still a rescue?"

Cao Bianjiao took a deep breath with a solemn expression. Seeing that Shao Derong didn't look like he was joking, he thought for a few seconds before replying:

"I'm already terminally ill."

"Haha, since that's the case, why should I bother to paper this bad house? Rather than helping it survive, wouldn't it be better to build a new building?"

Damn it!

Cao Bianjiao suddenly understood in his heart, and the shock in his heart was beyond words.

Even important officials of the court like Liu Ximing were considering other things. How could he not be surprised?

Then he reacted again and frowned, "But even if we hold our three teams, there are only about 60,000 people. If my brother wants to change the weather, he still lacks some heat."

Seeing that Cao Bianjiao did not mention the word "scheming" and "rebellion", Shao Derong and Zheng Jingcai looked at each other and smiled.

It seems that the second brother's move to marry the Cao family daughter is indeed useful. They also considered this and dared to point it out directly.

Shao Derong said with a smile: "Not only 60,000 troops, Nanyang, Hanzhong, Shunqing, Xiangyang and other places, my family still has at least 60,000 elite troops, and there are more than 300,000 garrison troops. Does such a force feel enough?"

Cao Bianjiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Although he had always known that his son-in-law had a lot of money, how could he dare to imagine it here? Now that he heard the data reported by Shao Derong, he was suddenly a little dizzy.

"The Great Situ has such a big plan!" Then he became a little unhappy again, "Hmph, you guys have kept it from me for so long, and I'll see if I turn back and don't get rid of you."

"Hahaha," after a loud laugh, Zheng Jingcai followed and said, "It's all about confidentiality. Please forgive me. Now that the second brother's plan has reached the most critical moment, please ask the general to rot these words in his stomach."

"Hmph, I'm the third generation of generals, can I still not know about this?" Cao Bianjiao grinned and knocked hard on both Shao Derong and Zheng Jingcai's heads, making them grin and dare not make a fool.

"Since you already have this plan, it's better for our three families to gather together in the military camp. I think Zuo Liangyu and others have ulterior motives, so they can't let them cheat us."

After calming down, Cao Bianjiao immediately regained his attitude as a famous general and began to arrange the affairs of the three people in an orderly manner.

The government army has been arguing about whom they will take the lead all day, but Li Zicheng and other bandits are doing it very hard.

After discovering that the official army was indeed a silver-like wax gun tip, Li Zicheng simply wanted to make a big deal.

While he sent some troops to confront the official army, he involved the attention of the official army.

On the other hand, a large number of people were scrambling to dig trenches and fortifications in the south of Zhuxian Town, hoping to cut off the direction of the official army's escape.

This scene lasted for a month, and the officials who had been afraid to fight were not allowed to fight, staring at Zhuxian Town without any notice. The bandits had such a big appetite to swallow themselves.

Although Shao Derong and others learned about the bandits' layout through the spy of the Military Intelligence Bureau, they all pretended to be dead in the camp and allowed the bandits to complete their arrangements.

When July began, Zuo Liangyu, who was sensitive to the battlefield, finally realized something was wrong.

Li Zicheng and his bandits did not seek war or retreat, but they just shouted and confronted each other every day. Zuo Liangyu, the escaped general, was not given for nothing, and he immediately judged that the official army might be defeated.

At this time, he did something that everyone could imagine.

On the evening of the eighth day of the seventh month, Zuo Liangyu's camp, which was originally camped in the south of the government army, took advantage of the night and directly sent troops to seize the mules, horses and supplies of the entire Ming army.

After just succeeding, while Ding Qirui and others had not yet reacted, Zuo Liangyu's 40,000 troops led by Zuo Liangyu directly led the camp and fled south while the night was dark.

Of course, it is impossible for a large army of tens of thousands to retreat silently. After Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others discovered the abnormal movement of the official army, they immediately rushed to cover up the killing.

The disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty's official army fighting each other once again appeared in the face of chaos. When Ding Qirui and others heard that the thieves were attacking, they all wanted to grow wings and fly away.

More than 100,000 Ming troops were immediately in chaos.

However, no one noticed that Cao Bianjiao, who had already moved the camp to the north of the army, was silent.

In Cao Bianjiao's camp, he spit out a breath of turbid air and looked at the Central Military Camp where the people were already neighing and horses were making a mess. Cao Bianjiao's face flashed with determination and turned around and left.

Behind him were tens of thousands of soldiers who had already gathered. However, in the darkness, these tens of thousands of people were silent, which made people feel cold in their hearts.

Since they had long planned to take this opportunity to weaken the official army, how could Cao Bianjiao and others not keep a close eye on the situation on the battlefield?

Therefore, as soon as he discovered that there was a change in Zuo Liangyu's army, Cao Bianjiao and the other three immediately took action and took advantage of the attack on the central army's stall, and tens of thousands of troops headed straight to the east.

In the camp of Li Zicheng in Zhuxian Town, Li Zicheng led Luo Rucai, Niu Jinxing and others to stand in the central army and look at the chaos of the Ming army opposite.

Suddenly, a knight rushed over, "The King of Chuang, the third general of Cao Yanluo, to the north of the official army, still pulled out his camp and retreated, and did not support the central army."

"Hahaha, God helps me!"

In front of the Central Army camp, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others were all ecstatic.

If we say that the rebels fear the most among the official army, they are naturally Cao Yanluo, Shao Jue Guan and other departments.

Tonight, when Zuo Liangyu was found fleeing, Li Zicheng not only arranged a large army to attack the central army of the official army, but also retained an additional unit of more than 100,000 people in order to prevent Cao Bianjiao and others.

Now that he heard that Cao Bianjiao and others fled without fighting, Li Zicheng immediately laughed and said, "I will send my general order to cover it up, and I must wipe out the official army!"

"kill!"

Outside Zhuxian Town, there were another shout of killing sounds soaring into the sky.

How spectacular it was that there were more than 300,000 bandits, more than 100,000 Ming troops, and hundreds of thousands of people fighting on the same battlefield.

Unfortunately, because it was dark, many troops had already scattered.

However, unlike the panic of the official army, the bandits relied on the large number of people, and even if the organization was chaotic, they still dared to charge and attack.

Zuo Liangyu, Ding Qirui and others who were denied their courage could only run around, and they lost their courage to clean up the army.

It is also considered that Zuo Liangyu was lucky. The cavalry under the rebel army was originally staring at his movements and chasing them all the way south, but fortunately, Zuo Liangyu plundered a large number of mules, horses and supplies from the official army. Seeing the fierce pursuit, Zuo Liangyu had to order his subordinates to abandon military supplies.

Finally, at the stall where the cavalry of the rebel army were snatching the spoils, they ran out of the trench fortifications of the rebel army and headed south.

As for Ding Qirui and others, they were not so lucky. Without Cao Bianjiao and others covering the flanks, the entire central army camp was made of dumplings by Li Zicheng's army, and the supervisor Ding Qirui was also killed in the chaos.

The last main force in the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty was destroyed. Except for Cao Bianjiao and others, only more than 50,000 people successfully escaped.

After a month, the news spread all over the world, and all the gentry of the Ming Dynasty were in panic.
