Mr. Yangui

Chapter 393 Chapter Thirty-nine
In the north of Hongnong, Shan Boyuan has a large tent.

"Why did Zhu Changsheng suddenly gather his troops? Do you want to fight us to the death? Isn't this taking advantage of us? Who gave him the courage?"

Shan Boyuan analyzed the intelligence in the north of Hongnong, and asked the left and right advisers.

For the past few months, although Wei Xian had the upper hand against Zhu Changlong and Shan Boyuan against Zhu Changsheng, they couldn't find a chance to kill their opponents.

The Zhu family brothers still have some strength. Although they can't beat Wei Dan and Wei Dan in a head-to-head attack, they have also caused heavy losses to the court through tactics such as ambushes, guerrillas, and traps.

Recently, the morale of the Hanshui gang has skyrocketed.

Of course, it was because of Li Wuchang's rebellion against Yan and the domination of Feng Yi's southwest.

Feng Yi's Wang Taishou were all affected.

Many noble disciples under Wei Xian were restless, for fear that Li Wuchang would assassinate them. Liu Qizheng is a living example. More than a dozen Liu family masters did not stop Li Wuchang and Jiang Minglun from forming a duo. I've heard of it all.

Hongnong was naturally no problem, as Zhang Yanbang, Yan Zhong, and Liu Jin asked to defend the city on their own initiative.

"Is there another secret support from Hedong? It should not be possible. Apart from supporting Zhu Changlong, Hedong County has to deal with Luoyang's troops. In addition, the Hanshui Gang also attacked Wencheng County and Jiang County in the north of Hedong County. How can they have so many troops?" A counselor frowned.

The so-called "secret support" is the support of the masters of the Hanshui Gang's Hedong base camp, who can hide it from the scouts.

Although Shan Boyuan has been suppressing Zhu Changsheng to fight, but sometimes he is disgraced by the master troops of the Hanshui Gang.

"Don't underestimate the Hanshui Gang. They can gain a firm foothold in Hedong, and they have fought with Feng Zhongyi in Luoyang for so long, which shows their background. The Hanshui Gang's division of troops to Wencheng County and Jiang County may not necessarily attack the city. According to Intelligence, they are just developing their strength and winning people's hearts by the way, Wencheng County and Jiang County are not strategic cities, some troops are going to support An Le, there is not so many troops to suppress the Hanshui Gang!" Another counselor said solemnly .

In fact, this does not need to be elaborated at all.

Even if everyone is not from the rivers and lakes, through what they have seen and heard in the past few years, they all have a general understanding of the background of the Hanshui Gang, and it is precisely because of this that everyone is upset.

"Damn it, what the hell are the Baidao forces in Luoyang doing? Has Xiang Kui been in a slump since he was defeated by Nie Jin? Organize people to go to Hedong!" A lieutenant general cursed.

From this remark, we can see the helplessness of the imperial court.

In the past, the imperial court didn't look down on the so-called Jianghu White Dao forces, and occasionally guarded against them, but now it's all right, and blame them for not dealing with the Hanshui Gang.

The Baidao forces, headed by the Baima Temple in Luoyang, have always been law-abiding and have not done anything to gather crowds to make trouble.

Last year when Hedong was in an emergency, the Baidao forces in Luoyang took large-scale actions and organized their masters to march to Hedong to fight against the Hanshui Gang. At that time, Xiang Kui was the leader elected by everyone.

Who knew that when Xiang Kui and Nie Jin were dueling, they were almost hacked to death with a knife. In order to save his life, the Baidao forces promised Nie Jin that they would not attack the Hanshui Gang and Tianluo Gang within three months.

Several months have passed now, and it stands to reason that the Baidao forces in Luoyang should continue to fight against the Hanshui Gang in Hedong, but unfortunately they didn't.

Aren't the heroes of the white way all fighting against violence?
Go get the Hanshui Gang!

"It's probably because Nie Jin sent underworld masters to infiltrate Luoyang City and cause chaos. Xingyang is in a terrible situation now...uh..." Someone muttered in a low voice.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone sighed inwardly.

Since Nie Jin took down Xingyang, he has been doing a lot of things to buy people's hearts. It has become very popular in Xingyang. Now the local people only recognize Nie Shuai, not the court.

It has to be said that this is a great irony.

You know, Nie Jin has always been an out-and-out big devil in everyone's impression.

If the people were not extremely dissatisfied with the imperial court, how could they be so eccentric?

Thinking about it carefully, Feng Yixinan and Hongnongxi are not the same.

Otherwise, how could such a young man like Li Wuchang have recruited more than 5000 people so quickly?Not to mention the recent acceptance of five hundred soldiers from Beidi County.

"Report..."

Here comes the messenger.

It's a letter from Governor Guo.

Shan Boyuan took the letter, opened it and read it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he frowned.

Seeing this, everyone asked, "General, what's the matter?"

General Shan Boyuan exhaled, and said lightly: "Li Wuchang has joined forces with seven rebel armies, with a total strength of nearly [-]. In just these two days, they swept half a circle around the central part of Hongnong, and the defenders of Hongnong suffered heavy losses. Everyone knows about the trend. At present, under Li Wuchang's suggestion, eight of their teams are already preparing to attack the city."

Everyone changes color.

I didn't worry much about the fall of the city before, because although the rebel army has a large number of troops, they have many teams and their hearts are not in harmony. Now there are eight teams that are going to attack the city in one go.

"This, this, how is this possible? Even if they were to take down the city, how would they divide it? Didn't those leaders think about it?" Someone asked doubtfully.

"Why divide? For them, the messier the better!" Shan Boyuan said indifferently.

"Maybe they are interested in the food and wealth in the city." The counselor nodded in agreement.

The deputy general took the letter and read it carefully, then frowned for a moment, and said: "Li Wuchang actually took nearly a thousand prisoners again? What are those people doing for food? Were they bought off so easily?"

Shan Boyuan coughed lightly, and said: "Don't discuss so much, now come out with a charter as soon as possible, otherwise Hongnong City may be in danger, and we will become alone."

The counselor wondered, "Even if Li Wuchang and the others have [-] troops, even if they are united as one, it will not be easy to capture Hongnong City, right?"

Shan Boyuan shook his head, and said: "Except for Zhu Changsheng, Hongnong's rebel army is far more than [-]... The reason why they haven't made a large-scale attack on the city is that they lack a young man who is willing to charge. Now Li Wuchang is that stupefied young man, if he takes the lead to move, can you guarantee that others will not move?"

This statement makes sense.

This is often the case, lacking the power of role models.

In addition to Zhu Changsheng's 5 troops, Hongnong also has more than a dozen rebels, large and small. The total number is more than [-], which is equivalent to the two old thieves Xiang Cong back then.

If it was really driven by Li Wuchang's stunned youth, Hongnong City might not be able to defend.

You know, Hongnong City's defense is not as good as Feng Yi's.

Not to mention the panic in the city.

"General, it seems that the reason why Zhu Changsheng assembled his troops was to hold us back and prevent us from going back to save Hongnong City. It can also be seen that Li Wuchang and Zhu Changsheng had a tacit understanding, or that they There are letters between them, this plan has been made long ago." The counselor said.

Shan Boyuan nodded and said, "Others continue to speak!"

The lieutenant general suggested: "General, our strength is only a little bit more than Zhu Changsheng's. Even if we can defeat them in one fell swoop in a decisive battle, we will suffer heavy losses ourselves. It is better to go back to the city directly."

Shan Boyuan frowned and said, "Go back to the city and defend to the death?"

The lieutenant general nodded and said: "Scatter Li Wuchang and others first, then enter the city and wait for the imperial court's support!"

The counselor said: "But Jingzhao just lost a group of people. Could it be that Commander Cui will come in person?"

Then he shook his head and sighed: "This Li Wuchang, the timing is good, but he chose to start the incident when the imperial court was negotiating peace with the Xiongnu."

Many people kept silent, thinking to themselves, if Lu Xuandong didn't mess around, how could he, Li Wuchang, make trouble?According to the plan, Li Wuchang should quell the chaos in Fangling, maybe he is inextricably fighting with the Xiangyang gang at the moment.

The situation is changing rapidly.

Although it can't be said that one hair will move the whole body, the rhythm of Hongnong and Feng Yi has been messed up.

"Report..."

"what happened again?"

"Zhu Changsheng's vanguard came in two ways..."

Shan Boyuan smiled and said: "It seems that Zhu Changsheng has already made a decision for us!"
