Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 270 Prelude to Attacking Jiyuan and Tsinghua
At this time, Zhao Wen was riding on a war horse, and was advancing rapidly in the direction of Gao Yingxiang.

The distance from Lu'an Mansion to Jiyuan and other places is relatively long. If you don't hurry up, it may be impossible to get there before Gao Yingxiang attacks Jiyuan.

Zhao Wen rode on the horse, looked at the rising moon, turned around, and shouted at Zhao Daniu who was following him: "Daniu, order to go down, after two hours, after two hours Rest again."

Zhao Daniu nodded at Zhao Wen, then slowed down and walked towards the rear.

Zhao Wen led about 2000 people. Although the number was small, it was relatively easy to defeat Gao Yingxiang.

Zhao Wen narrowed his eyes and stared straight ahead.

……

"Are there still a few days to go before arriving at Jiyuan City?"

About 800 miles away from Zhao Wen, a mighty team that stretched for more than ten miles stopped and camped in place.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in this team, a black-faced man with a height of eight feet sat on the main seat, looking at the other people in the big tent.

This black-faced man is none other than Li Zicheng's uncle, Gao Yingxiang who is now known as Chuang Wang.

Gao Yingxiang looked at the people in the tent with a relaxed expression on his face.

A big man sitting near Gao Yingxiang said: "King Chuang, according to our current speed, we may reach Jiyuan in five or six days.

At that time, we will definitely be able to attack Jiyuan in one go.Hehe, if we capture Jiyuan, then we can control the entire Central Plains. "

Gao Yingxiang caressed the beard on his chin, and said with a smile: "Not only the one from Jiyuan, but also the one that went to Qinghua?

And where are my nephew and Huang Chuangzi's men now?How far is it from Xiuwu and Huaiqing?
I want them to launch an attack with me, so that these officers and soldiers will be exhausted. When the time comes, they will directly take Jiyuan, Qinghua, Xiuwu, Huaiqing and other cities in one go. Finally, they will join forces and directly attack the Chief Secretary of Hebei. Then raise troops to besiege the capital. "

"King Chuang, the people going to Tsinghua are about to reach Tsinghua now. As for General Chuang and Huang Chuangzi, their speed is not slow. I guess they should be able to reach Xiuwu and Huaiqing by the time we reach Jiyuan.

Gao Yingxiang nodded and said with satisfaction: "It's great, it's great, as long as we can arrive on time.

However, I am very curious, what kind of officers and soldiers can beat the two of them like this?
They have a lot of people in their hands. Even if they meet the frontier army, even if they can't win, they can escape with the team. How could they be beaten like this.

Especially my nephew, there were only dozens of people left who were beaten directly. "

When Gao Yingxiang thought of Li Zicheng's ghostly appearance when he came here, he felt annoyed for a while. It was the first time he saw such a scene after crossing the Yellow River from the east.

In the past, although being chased by Hong Shatou in Shaanxi was quite miserable, but after crossing the Yellow River to the east, it went smoothly, and I have never encountered such a situation.

This was so sudden that they were beaten like this. To be honest, the blow to these rebels was not small.

"King Chuang, someone outside our barracks has come to see you."

Just when Gao Yingxiang was extremely puzzled, a soldier hurried in from outside.

Gao Yingxiang looked at the soldier and couldn't help asking: "Who came to the camp in the middle of the night?"

"King Chuang is the leader of the alliance. The leader of the 36th Battalion is here."

Gao Yingxiang stood up straight away, his face full of doubts, "It's him, why is he here? Invite him in quickly."

Gao Yingxiang tidied up the big tent, and led a few guards towards the outside.

When he walked out of the barracks, Gao Yingxiang saw a tall figure riding on a standing horse, looking towards him.

This person is the leader of the 36th Battalion, and the king himself uses it.

Beside him, dozens of guards surrounded him with torches.

Gao Yingxiang looked at the familiar face on the war horse, and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"I've seen the leader, how come the leader has time to come to me today?" Gao Yingxiang said sincerely, cupping his hands at Wang Ziyong.

Wang Ziyong looked at Gao Yingxiang who was coming up to meet him, and said with a smile: "You are here, how can I not come to see you? After all, we are all volunteers."

"Haha, what the leader said is true." Gao Yingxiang laughed loudly, then stretched out his right hand, and shouted at Wang Ziyong: "Leader, please."

Wang Ziyong jumped off the horse, threw the reins in his hand to the guards behind him, and then headed towards the big tent under the leadership of Gao Yingxiang.

After a while, Wang Ziyong was brought into the big tent by Gao Yingxiang.

Because Wang Ziyong is now the leader of the 36th Battalion, and he was recommended by everyone, so Gao Yingxiang let Wang Ziyong sit on the leader's seat.

"Come here, serve the food and drink. Tonight, I will not get drunk with the lord." Gao Yingxiang sat in the lower seat of the king's own use, and shouted at the other people in the big tent.

Following Gao Yingxiang's words, several soldiers headed outside.

Wang Ziyong looked at Gao Yingxiang with a smile, and said with a smile: "The strength of King Chuang is extraordinary now. I heard that you seem to have an army of 20 now, isn't it?"

Gao Yingxiang was slightly taken aback, looked at Wang Ziyong, and thought to himself: "This guy is quite well informed, it's only been a while before he knows my details."

Gao Yingxiang said with a smile: "The lord is joking, how can I have 20 troops? Now it is only about [-] to [-], and the [-] to [-] are basically refugees.

The real soldiers only look like 36 to [-]. Even if I have so many soldiers, don't I still want to respect the leader?After all, the leader is the leader of our [-]th Battalion. "

Wang Ziyong fixed his eyes on Gao Yingxiang like a vulture, trying to find a flaw in Gao Yingxiang's body.

But Gao Yingxiang hid it very well, and Gao Yingxiang's flaws could be seen from the face alone.

Wang Ziyong said with a half-smile: "No matter what, you now have more soldiers than the rest of our 36th Battalion. I think it's better to let you be the leader?"

When Wang Zi said these words, the whole big tent became silent for an instant.

Gao Yingxiang's hand holding the teacup stopped in the air. He looked at Wang Ziyong, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Gao Yingxiang's subordinates in the big tent put their right hands on the handle of the knife at their waist, staring at Wang Ziyong and others in the big tent.

The people brought by Wang Ziyong also looked like this, staring at Gao Yingxiang and the others vigilantly.

The atmosphere in the big tent dropped to freezing point, and it was so silent that even the sound of breathing could be heard.

Gao Yingxiang slowly put the teacup in his hand on the table, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Haha, the leader is joking, the leader is the leader of our 36th Battalion, this is recognized by everyone.

Compared with the leader, I am like a grain of rice to the moon.The seat of the leader can only be taken if the leader comes to sit. "

Wang Ziyong leaned forward slightly, looked at Gao Yingxiang playfully, and said jokingly, "Is what you said true?"

Now Wang Ziyong, in addition to his own subordinates, also has Luo Rucai, Gezuo Fifth Battalion and other powerful people standing by his side.

Although they crossed the Yellow River at the same time as Gao Yingxiang, their areas of action were different from Gao Yingxiang's.

After Gao Yingxiang crossed the Yellow River east, he mainly operated in these places south of Shanxi.

After Wang Ziyong led his men across the Yellow River, they went all the way south to the land of the Central Plains and have been active in the northern part of the Central Plains.

It's just that for some reason, no substantial progress has been made in the Central Plains.

Wang Ziyong, who hadn't made any progress in the Central Plains, wanted to lead troops into Shanxi, but before he could make a move, Gao Yingxiang went south with heavy troops, and arrived in northern Henan in a very high-profile way.

And the land of northern Henan has always been his active place, so when Gao Yingxiang crossed Taihang Mountain with heavy troops this time, he felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

In his opinion, Gao Yingxiang now not only holds an army of 10,000+, but also has people like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong standing behind him. If Gao Yingxiang really wants the title of leader, he may not be able to stop him.

A title is nothing, what I am most afraid of is that Gao Yingxiang will take the opportunity to get rid of himself, and thus annex his subordinates.

Just in case, so this evening, I came here to test Gao Yingxiang.

Gao Yingxiang laughed dryly, "Leader, you are a bit strange today, I, Gao Yingxiang, am a reputable man, if you say no, then don't, don't try to twitch.

I have prepared good wine today, do you want to drink it?If you drink it, I will get it out now. "

"Drink, why don't you drink?" Wang Zi slapped the table with his palm and roared.

"Haha, the lord is open and bright. Haha, come and serve me all the good wine and food."

Gao Yingxiang stood up and shouted to the outside of the big tent.

After a while, seven or eight soldiers walked in with wine jars in their arms.

Behind them, there were several people carrying a roasted whole lamb. In addition to the roasted whole lamb, there were also various foods.

Gao Yingxiang asked people to put it in the center of the big tent. He pointed to the food and said, "Today, let's get drunk with the lord."

"Haha, King Chuang is really bold." Wang Ziyong laughed loudly.

At this time, the people in the big tent gradually relaxed their vigilance, and took back their hands on the handle of the knife.

About 50 miles away from here, there is also a camp, and there is a black tent in this camp.

This camp looks very ordinary from the outside, and there is nothing special about it.

A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, a short beard and a dark face sat on the bed in the big tent, his face was full of worry.

"Master, what are you doing? Why don't you come to love my family tonight?"

On the bed was a stunning beauty dressed in a light veil, who kept winking at him, but this man acted as if he hadn't seen it, and sat there quietly, thinking about something.

This man is none other than Luo Rucai who is known as Cao Cao.

This Luo Rucai is famous for being insidious and cunning, capricious, cruel and evil, and lustful.

"Come on, sir!"

The woman on the bed screamed, and slowly crawled towards Luo Rucai, just when she was about to meet Luo Rucai, Luo Rucai stood up directly, and swung her big mouth on the woman's face.

"Snapped!"

A clear and crisp slap sounded, and the woman was slapped by Luo Rucai and spit out two teeth.

Luo Rucai stared at the woman, and said coldly: "I don't want to touch you today, sir, please be honest, otherwise I will send you to the underground to be the companion of Hades."

"Forgive your life, spare your life!"

The woman got angry when she saw Luo Rucai, and hurriedly knelt down, kowtowing to Luo Rucai non-stop.

Luo Rucai flicked his sleeves and walked outside the tent.

"I really didn't expect that this Gao Yingxiang really has some skills to pull such a big team, hehe, what a skill." Luo Rucai walked outside the big tent, looking at the moon in the sky, with a gloomy expression on his face Sunny and uncertain.

At this moment, his deputy, Hong Tatian, led the night watchmen passing by.

Hong Tatian looked at Luo Rucai who was standing outside the big tent, and hurried over.

"Marshal, why are you here?" Hong Tatian looked at Luo Rucai suspiciously.

Normally at this time, Luo Rucai is basically playing with his wife and concubine, why is he standing here today, and he looks a little unhappy.

Luo Rucai breathed a sigh of relief, and said with complicated eyes: "You said that we and Gao Yingxiang also raised troops at the same time, and we were also working together under Wang Jiayin's back then.

After Wang Jiayin died, he also promoted Wang Ziyong to the position of leader.We also crossed the Yellow River to escape together, but why is there such a big gap between my strength and his? "

Hong Tatian scratched his head, and said in an angry voice: "Commander, although this Gao Yingxiang claims to have an army of 20, I'm sure he definitely doesn't have that many people in his hands, 12 is enough to hold him to death."

Luo Rucai shook his head and said disapprovingly: "You don't understand, you don't understand. Even if there are only 12 horses, isn't it more than us?

We are only worth 6 horses now, how does this compare with Gao Yingxiang?What's more, there is Gao Yingxiang's nephew, the black-faced Li Zicheng.This guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

From knowing Gao Yingxiang went south until now, Wang Ziyong came to me almost every day to discuss with me how to deal with Gao Yingxiang, but I never agreed. "

"Why doesn't the commander-in-chief agree? Wang Ziyong's team plus the team of the commander-in-chief and the team on Wang's side are almost equal to Gao Yingxiang." Hong Tatian's face was full of puzzlement.

"Hey, you know what a fart. We people say that we are rebels, but we are not even a fart, just a group of bandits.

Don't even think about counting on these people to fight to the death.These people are all good at adapting to the wind. Now that Gao Yingxiang is very powerful, if he really makes a move, he will definitely stand by Gao Yingxiang's side.

All right, let's not talk about it.Now Wang Ziyong has gone to find Gao Yingxiang, let's wait and see what happens.

In the worst case, let's take refuge in Gao Yingxiang, and it's not ashamed to be a little one. "Luo Rucai waved his hand, although he was very unconvinced in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

……

"Haha, Chuang Wang is really huge." Wang Ziyong put down the big bowl in his hand, wiped his mouth, and laughed.

"The leader is not bad!" Gao Yingxiang replied.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. I came today to ask you, are you really planning to attack Jiyuan and Qinghua?" Wang Ziyong looked at Gao Yingxiang and asked in a deep voice.

Gao Yingxiang nodded, and said loudly, "We must fight!"

"Okay, since that's the case, let's attack Jiyuan and Qinghua City together."
