At least ten thousand cavalry!

Liao Dongzhi judged from the menacing and fast-moving smoke and dust that the number of pursuers would not be less than 1.

"Wang Long, you really have a lot of face, and you can make Chuangying value you so much!" In order to adjust the tense atmosphere, Li Huayu deliberately joked with Wang Long.

"However, this is already the border of my Shandong province. Even if the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu sent Black and White Wuchang to take you, he must first ask our brothers if they agree with the guns, guns, knives and guns!" , although it is suitable for cavalry combat, but his troops arrived half a day in advance, and they have already built trenches and field artillery positions.

"Young Marshal, you are also an acquaintance!" Liao Dongzhi hurriedly stepped forward after hearing the military report from the ranger Tanma at the side.

"Who is here?"

"I'm not afraid of the jokes of the young master. The one who chased me for thousands of miles is the little tiger!" Wang Long smiled wryly, and revealed the answer to Li Huayu's mystery.

"If it wasn't for the fact that the little tiger is still talking about friendship, he doesn't want to get too much blood from his brothers in the same robe, and the pursuit is not so urgent, I am afraid that my thousands of troops will be swallowed by the camp before they leave Eastern Henan. "

"Young Marshal, not only Luo Hu is here, but also Liu Fangliang, a famous brave general who broke into the camp!"

Among the 4000 cavalry, less than [-] are the cavalry of the Zhenshan Battalion belonging to Luo Hu, and the remaining [-] cavalry are elite cavalry led by Liu Fangliang himself. Annihilation!

"Since you've come to Shandong, you can leave if you don't entertain me well. Liao Dongzhi!" Li Huayu's face was frozen with frost, "Send the order and prepare to fight!"

With Liao Dongzhi going to the front to arrange command, Li Huayu would naturally be able to spare time to talk to Wang Long, so as to find out what earth-shattering things happened among the rebels.Although Wang Long sent an envoy to come to ask for help, he also said that there was a big change, please take it for the sake of the friendship of the Dragon and Tiger Camp that day.But after all, the identity of the comer is low, and many situations are unclear.Li Huayu can only ask Wang Long about the key points and holidays.

"Li Zicheng has done something wrong! Kill my uncle and Ge Liyan He Shuai!"

At this time.Wang Long cried like a child who finally returned to his hometown to see his relatives after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and told Li Huayu about the earth-shattering changes one by one.

"When Deaf Sun was wiped out, my brothers and I were in the south. Because Zuo Liangyu, the rabbit master, had just been defeated, the brigade moved slowly from the Yangtze River to Xiangyang Prefecture. It was going to go through Xiangyang and Nanyang. On the front line of Luoyang, join my uncle, and then go to Tongguan with Chuangying to go back to Shaanxi."

But, at this moment.Li Zicheng called Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Liu Zongmin, Gao Yigong and others to discuss the matter.It was decided to deal with Cao Ying who fell back to Gewuying and Luo Rucai before attacking Tongguan. "Only under the command of King Chuang, can we justifiably crusade against Ming thieves and relieve the people's downfall! Otherwise, if we enter Xi'an Mansion, it will be the Generalissimo who ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, or the generals from all camps." Taking turns to sit in the manor? So, according to Yishan people, it is at this time. It is the most suitable time to solve the problems of Ge Liyan and Cao Cao!" Song Xiance, a fortune teller with a short stature and ape-like appearance, his eyes flicker like will-o'-the-wisps .

After annihilating more than [-] Ming troops under Sun Chuanting's command, looking north of the Yangtze River, none of the Ming troops were regarded by the rebel generals.The hundreds of large and small cannons captured made Zhang Nai shout loudly at the celebration banquet, "Whether it is Xi'an or Beijing, just bombard it with hundreds of cannons! There is no city that cannot be bombarded, and there is no city that cannot be destroyed." team!"

Various long-term accumulated contradictions within the peasant army.Because of the sudden improvement of the external environment, it became suddenly tense and sharp.Since the joint operation, the soldiers of Chuangcao and Chuangcao, who have been cooperating tacitly, began to pay for the captured horses, weapons, captured soldiers of the Ming army, and artillery.Food supplies, armor and flags and other things kept accusing each other on the long battlefield, and even fought violently. In several important places, both sides even used swords and guns, and each had casualties.If it weren't for the generals in their respective battalions rushing to suppress them.Out of face, the actions of the soldiers were stopped, and I was afraid that the fight between the two families due to the scramble for spoils would intensify.

After the war, although Li Zicheng allocated [-] war horses, [-] sets of armored knives and guns, [-] guns, [-] captured Ming soldiers, and [-] guns with a caliber of more than [-] pounds to Luo Rucai's Cao Ying, Cao Ying Up and down are full of resentment for the ugly food in the camp.

In the south, De'an, Chengtian, Jingzhou and other places, fools know that they are land of fish and rice, and the so-called Huguang is full of ripeness in the world.With such a piece of geomantic treasure land in hand, whether it is used to fight for the world or to stand on its own, it is an invincible position!However, Li Zicheng was unceremonious, and quietly handed over all the four mansions of De'an to the administrative officials of the Chuangying system, but none of the Caoying system!

How can this make Cao Cao, who has always been shrewd, swallow this bad breath?

"Marshal! Now Lizhou and Changde in the south, Macheng and Guangzhou in the east, Guanghua and Junzhou in the west, and Tongguan in the north are all under the guns of our rebel army! It will be a matter of time before we fight for the world! , but, how many of these state capitals do we have in Cao Ying?"

In Luo Rucai's general's mansion, his trusted general Yang Shengzu, the Chinese army Yang Shan, the flag and drum officer Zhu Yangmin, several generals Wang Kehuai, Hao Youfa, Luo Rucai's uncle Luo Daien and others expressed their grievances.

In fact, you can't blame these people for their emotions.Just when deciding on the grand strategy of going south to lure the enemy and go north to wipe out the enemy, Hao Yaoqi under Li Zicheng openly snatched the good horses from Wang Long's men.Wang Long was also recognized as a man who could fight and fight in the two camps of Chuang Cao, and he was also Luo Rucai's nephew, so his status was naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people. The collateral generals dared to go to Wang Long's camp to rob horses openly. If there was no one behind him to back him up, they wouldn't believe it if they killed Luo Rucai's men!

This situation became more and more obvious after Sun Chuanting was defeated and Zuo Liangyu was driven away.From Li Zicheng to Liu Zongmin, Gao Yigong, Hao Yaoqi, Liu Fangliang and other senior generals who entered the camp, and even the soldiers of each battalion, they all had an arrogance and domineering energy towards Cao Ying.

In the eyes of everyone in Chuangying, Cao Ying was attached to them. Although Luo Rucai was Li Zicheng's deputy in name, the so-called Great General of Wealth and Fumin on behalf of the heavens, he was also Li Zicheng's subordinate.Since even Luo Rucai is Li Zicheng's subordinate.Then the entire Cao Ying is also Chuangying's subordinates, that is, their subordinates!

So, all kinds of things that invaded and insulted Cao Ying, robbed trophies and prisoners.Li Zicheng did not stop and punish him, which greatly stimulated Luo Rucai, who has always respected Li Zicheng since the two armies in Dengzhou joined forces!

Especially when Ge Liyan He Yilong led troops from Huangzhou, Hubei to Nanyang and Luoyang, he came to visit Luo Rucai's barracks as he was passing by.Li Zicheng's Grand Marshal's Mansion sent people to inquire, urging He Yilong to arrive at the designated place to set up camp as soon as possible.

After this incident, regarding He Yilong's request to lead the troops out of Lizhou, Changde and Zhang Xianzhong to respond to the battle, Li Zicheng also took care of him.

Not only He Yilong was not allowed to fight independently in one direction, Niu Jinxing and others even promulgated a set of cumbersome etiquette in the battalion system.The system stipulates that anyone who sees Li Zicheng must perform a kowtow ceremony, in order to "determine superiority and inferiority, and distinguish between superiors and inferiors". Chuang Wang Li Zicheng "We match each other"!

This system is clearly tailor-made for Luo Rucai!

Among the so-called 36th and [-]th Battalions of the People's Army.Luo Rucai was a veteran of the same period as Gao Yingxiang, the former Chuang Wang, and reported to Cao Cao.It is the only remaining leader of the older generation.At the stage when Gao Yingxiang was the leader of the alliance, Li Zicheng was only the eighth team in the camp.

Therefore, Luo Rucai is not only older than Li Zicheng in qualifications, but also older than Li Zicheng, and his strength is no worse than Li Zicheng's!It is because of this that Luo Rucai has become accustomed to calling each other mature and informal with Li Zi. "I often call myself Cao Cao; I call myself Lao Qi, Er Ruzhi."

At this time, you jumped out to promulgate an etiquette system, requiring only elite cavalry to have five sentries. "Each sentry has three thousand. The infantry has three or four, and they can't support four or five million." Luo Rucai, the commander of Cao Ying, is the same as Liu Zongmin and others Kneeling and saluting to Li Zicheng, this is impossible no matter what!

There is little difference in military strength, and in their respective fighting styles.Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng are also good at winning games.According to historical records: "Zicheng is good at attacking, Rucai is better at fighting, and the two must look like left and right hands. More than [-] cities in Henan were trapped, Zicheng took six out of ten, and Rucai was four out of ten." That is to say, In the eyes of military experts and commentators at the time, Li Zicheng's Chuangying was good at attacking cities.Stronger than attacking.Luo Rucai's Cao Ying is good at field combat and is good at annihilating the enemy in the field.This is related to Luo Rucai's own military experience. He has repeatedly fought with Fang Jun's Ninth Battalion and Zhang Xianzhong's Xiying Battalion, which has tempered Cao Ying's field combat capabilities, and it has also been fully reflected in previous battles after partnering with Chuangying.

Since the partnership, Luo Rucai has also paid attention to collecting guns to strengthen the firearms advantage in his battalion.Especially after Wang Long returned from his trip to Shandong, Luo Rucai also focused on building an elite new army.So, once the two companies disband, Luo Rucai really has nothing to fear!

"Forget it! Brothers and partners. Originally, if we cooperate, we will come and go if we disagree. Now the road between us and Lao Li's family is about to come to an end. They want to enter Tongguan and return to Shaanxi, and we will definitely not stop them. However, if our Cao camp withdraws Go east and join forces with Eight Great Kings and Lao Hui, even Li Zicheng can't control our old Cao's feet!"

In the camp, Luo Rucai planned to get together and break up just like when the cooperation with Zhang Xianzhong came to an end in the past, leaving a little room for meeting in the future.

"After you go back, each of you has an idea in your mind, but on the surface, you still have to remain the same as the people who broke into the camp!" Luo Rucai ordered his trusted generals to stay again, and looked at the several state capitals in the east on the map. It is under the jurisdiction of the administrators of the Caoying system. Not far away is the old nest of the Huige Fifth Battalion, Yingshan and Huoshan. As long as you get there and take down a few nearby cities, at least a separatist situation will be established. !

"Echoing with Li Huayu in the east and Zhang Xianzhong in the south, who can do anything to me?!"

However, Luo Rucai never expected that he had missed out one person after all his calculations.

This person is Song Xiance, the military adviser in Li Zicheng's army!

Although this person is a military adviser in name, but in the military, he has no achievements in breaking into the camp.He, like Niu Jinxing, a member of the Lu family, was Li Zicheng's voter after he entered Henan.The role of the two is different.Niu Jinxing, because of his fame in the Ming Dynasty, can be used as a horse bone to attract scholars from all over the world to join. With the victories of the peasant army, many people joined the rebel army with the intention of climbing the dragon and the phoenix. .However, many people have the reputation of being a child and a scholar.In terms of level, it can only be hehe.Because the Qin Law School opened by Wu Xing trained a lot of administrative and civil officials, these poor people who were originally poor and poor, and only dreamed of going to the Tianzitang as a farmer and a farmer, were helpless.They know what taxation is.What is money and food, how to build water conservancy, and how to gather refugees?In this way, it becomes more and more obvious that people like Niu Jinxing are actually useless except for a little so-called prestige.The so-called prestige.It is only obtained by relying on the monopoly of cultural and educational power. (Speaking of which, recently some so-called high-level people clamored to cancel the high school entrance examination and advocate quality education. The high school entrance examination was cancelled, and the college entrance examination was followed. Then, what resources do the children of ordinary people use to compete with the children of the so-called elites? Fighting? How to change your own destiny? In fact, whether these experts or experts, they don’t need to bother to come up with any plan. They just say that they want to restore the essence of traditional Chinese culture, the nine-rank system and the family system. .isn't it better?!)

But Song Xiance is just the opposite of Niu Jinxing.This is a man who has been through the rivers and lakes for a long time and has seen the wind and waves. He is a magic stick.This cripple, who is less than three feet tall, is proficient in the Liuren Qimen escapism method, and he is also capable of prophecy and mathematics, especially in feudal superstition.When he first arrived in Li Zicheng's army, he presented the prophecies of "Li Jizhu, who was in chaos in Kyushu" and "Eighteen Children's Master Artifact", and helped Li Zicheng make great contributions to deified his image.

Li Zicheng was overjoyed at that time, which meant that Li's family should be prosperous, he was appointed by heaven, and he had the appearance of an emperor.

It seems that China has been thousands of years, when a generation of heroes was born.There will always be auspicious prophecies, methods and programs such as bonfires, foxes and fish bellies, and silk books emerge in endlessly, all of which are precursors of hegemony, except for Ming Taizu who firmly believes that he was born as a beggar.The rest of the people are all convinced, and Li Zicheng is of course so.

After the prophecy came out, Li Zicheng believed that he was favored by God, given by God, and would be invincible in the future.And it turns out so.Every time Song Xiance made divination to predict the outcome, his army always attacked the city without any disadvantage.Of course, the time in Kaifeng does not count.

It was also because of the successive victories in Henan and the rapid progress of various affairs arrangements. Not to mention that the whole camp of Chuangying believed that the Generalissimo was the one who should be destined by heaven, even Li Zicheng gradually believed that he had the emperor's destiny!

If you expect this dwarf Song who set up a fortune-telling stall on Daxiangguo Temple Street in Kaifeng Prefecture to command the battle, it would be impossible to think of any clever tricks similar to Zhuge Liang's.However, this person's rich experience in walking the rivers and lakes gave him a keen and almost abnormal ability to read people's hearts!

"King Chuang, if you want to take it, you must first give it." Sitting on a four-wheeled cart, Song Xiance, who had learned enough from Zhuge Kongming, seemed to have his eyes closed but not closed, trying to maintain a posture of immortality.

"How to get with him first?" Li Zicheng was also playing riddles with Song Xiance.

"King Chuang, since the opening of the Qin Law School, officials from all states and counties have come here. According to the agreement when the two companies formed a partnership that day, the local officials should also be released according to the ratio of [-]% of my camp and [-]% of that of Cao's camp Assignment." Song Xiance's eyes flickered, "But when Yuan Zongdi captured the four mansions of De'an, he appointed all the officials of the four mansions in one go. This made Cao Ying quite dissatisfied. Although Cao Cao himself didn't say anything, from Shan Ren's point of view, he may also have deep resentment in his heart."

"Sir, you are right! In the past few days, the spies in charge of Liu Tichun have also sent people to send secret reports, indicating that Ting has been planning to send people to Cao Ying, intending to recruit him, or set aside a piece of land for him. Let him become king on his own!" Gao Yigong, Li Zicheng's general in the army, also frowned, once Cao Cao voted for the Ming army and took away these 10 people, his life in the camp would be easier!

"Mr. Song, continue talking."

"Chuang Wang, please take a look." Song Xiance took the fire chopsticks used to add charcoal from the brazier on the side, and began to draw on the brick floor.

In a blink of an eye, a rough map of Henan appeared in front of everyone.

"Henan Prefecture, Nanyang Prefecture and other places have all fallen into the hands of our rebels. Prefectures and counties in various places have also begun to set up officials to manage the people and collect money and food. But these are also mixed with each other. In the east, Kaifeng Prefecture, Guide Prefecture and other places , Many prefectures and counties are adjacent to Shandong and other places, so the Generalissimo did not send troops to take them that day. These places are also quite rich now, and as far as the Shanren know, Cao Cao covets this place."

Song Xiance put down the fire chopsticks.On the four-wheeled cart, he clasped his fists and saluted: "If the Generalissimo intends to establish a great cause, Luo Rucai must be removed. However, although this person has many soldiers and horses, the Generalissimo can order more people to bring money and silk to buy them first. Afterwards, he will be suppressed with large soldiers. Xu With official positions, the generals of Cao Ying's various ministries are not difficult to deal with. However, only Wang Long's troops are as elite as Zhenshan Camp, and this person has a nephew and uncle relationship with Luo Ru. Therefore, Wang Long's troops cannot be ordered In the west of Henan! Why don't you discuss the military situation with Luo Rucai tomorrow, and order Wang Long's troops to go to Guide Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion, etc. to capture the cities of the above-mentioned prefectures and counties. All the cities are owned by Cao Ying. It can be regarded as our intrusion into the camp to make up for Cao The loss of the share that the camp has never acquired in the four provinces of Ta'an."

"In order to make this drama more realistic, 600 officials can be selected from the Qin Fa School and ordered to follow Wang Long to accept the city. As long as Wang Long goes to the east of Henan, Ge Liyan will be fine. Whether it's Luo Rucai or not, all of their soldiers, horses and assets are under the command of the Generalissimo!"

"Then, based on what you see, how can you make Wang Long go east willingly, even happily?"

"It's very simple! It's lure and lure!" Song Xiance blinked his eyes, "Has the Generalissimo forgotten Li Jiyu, Liu Hongqi, Shen Wandeng and others?"

Li Jiyu was a farmer in Mogou Village, Dengfeng County. The village is more rampant.Liu Hongqi, who is more powerful, was born in a private salt dealer in Xiping.Others such as Shen Wandeng, Sheng Zhiyou, Huang Laoshan, Zhang Changke and others were all regarded as "local bandits" at that time, and they belonged to the category of rural rebels.

Such local bandits can be said to be everywhere in Henan. "The local bandits rise up like hedgehog hairs. On the south bank of the Yellow River, there are more than a hundred battalion heads up and down thousands of miles. They rise and disappear quickly, either to capture and behead officials, or to be merged by their disciples. Such as Huanglaoshan in Shangqiu, Landa in Xuzhou, Lan Er, Nezha of Shangshui, Erzi Wang, etc. are all missing. But especially the big and long-lasting ones, there are Li Jiyu, Shen Jingbang, Ren Chen, Zhang Ding in the west, and Liu Hongqi, Zhou Jiali, Li Hao, and others in the south. In the Liang and Song Dynasties, there were Guo Huanglian, Zhang Changju, Wang Yanbin, Ning Zhen, and Wang Wenhuan, and to the east were Li Zhenhai, Fang Wenyu, Xu Xianhuan, Cheng Xiaoyu, and Qi Nianwu. They attack and kill each other in separate regimes. Counties and counties are responsible for their eyes and ears, and some officials dare not pass them by and ask questions. Or send money to the house, entrust their hearts, rely on foxes and rats, and let them pierce their noses. .”

"As long as the Generalissimo clarifies to Luo Rucai and others, the purpose of exterminating the local bandits in the east is to settle the area. All the soldiers, horses, money, food, children, and land will be owned by the Cao Ying and the Fourth Ge Zuo Battalion. From the perspective of the Shanren, I'm afraid they will send all the elites there!" Song Xiance twirled his mouse whiskers, quite proud of himself.

This method of diverting the tiger away from the mountain can be said to have hit the nail on the head, strangling Luo Rucai, Ge Liyan and others to death.Immediately, it was unanimously approved by Li Zicheng and other camp leaders.

From their point of view, Luo Rucai, Ge Liyan Zuo Jinyu and others are people who are greedy for money, wine and sex, how can they let go of such a chance to make a fortune?

"Ru Cai, let's talk about it like this. We will use Wang Long's troops as the vanguard, followed by the elite troops of Gezuo Fourth Battalion, to kill Li Jiyu and other local bandits in Dengfeng. Clean up our house." Li Zicheng was sincere in the meeting room.

"General, please tell General Wang Long to promote the New Deal in these areas." Niu Jinxing also said earnestly, with the demeanor of an elder. (~^~)
