Aspiration

Chapter 81 Li Laiheng's Legion

Funiu Mountain.Deshengzhai.

The towering ancestral hall of Huang's family became Li Zicheng's meeting hall.

Today, more than 50 generals, as well as Niu Jinxing, gathered in the hall.Li Zicheng held a military meeting here for the first time, and many important things will be announced again.

The first order: Niu Jinxing is the prime minister of government affairs. Although it is not an official official position, it is equivalent to the position of prime minister, and civil servants come first.He was not appointed as a military adviser, and the post of military adviser was left to Song Xiance, which was Niu Jinxing's suggestion.

The second order: the establishment of the Fifth Army, with Liu Zongmin as the general post.The front army, led by Li Guo, has 3 horses, 2 infantry, and [-] cavalry; the central army, led by Tian Jianxiu, has [-] horses, including [-] infantry and [-] cavalry; the left army, led by Yuan Zongdi, [-] soldiers and horses, including [-] infantry and [-] cavalry; the right army, led by Liu Fangliang, has [-] troops, including [-] infantry and [-] cavalry; the rear army, led by Gao Yigong, has [-] troops and horses, all infantry .Other generals, such as Li Shuangxi, Zhang Nai, etc., served as Li Zicheng's relatives under the tent of Li Zicheng's middle army.

Hao Yaoqi was stunned, he had no soldiers to lead.His military power is gone!
The third order: set up the Li Laiheng Legion.He has left and right infantry divisions, one is his mountain division, the hairy gourd soldiers, with 5000 people, and the other is the assault division, which is mainly composed of mine soldiers, with 5000 people.The second is the cavalry division, 5000 people.The third is his personal barracks, or the eight hundred elites.Li Zicheng ordered that Li Laiheng's troops be increased in due course, with the ultimate goal that he hoped that Li Laiheng would have an elite force of 3 people.

Of course, the vision of the peasant army is limited.Li Laiheng thought that the most suitable target for his army was 10 people.

Hao Yaoqi was confused by this order.

He found Li Zicheng.

"Brother Li, I don't have a soldier." Hao Yaoqi asked aggrievedly.

Before Li Zicheng could answer, Liu Zongmin spoke.

"Wave the flag, what's the rush? Are you afraid that you won't have a leader in the future? We've already considered your matter. You train recruits."

"But" Hao Yaoqi originally wanted to argue, but seeing Liu Zongmin's face, he knew that arguing with him would lose face, and this arrangement obviously meant that he didn't trust him.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

It's not that Li Zicheng's direct lineage in Shangluo Mountain cannot be reused.Hao Yaoqi's ending can be imagined.

Liu Zongmin went on to say: "Wave the flag, you have suffered a lot in Funiu Mountain, and you deserve credit. We consider that the war is imminent, and all armies must have the ability to lead the army independently. You are famous in the army for being brave and tenacious, but, Most of the future tasks are to attack cities and conquer villages, and bravery alone is not enough, so you can't be a front army for the time being. When there are more soldiers in the future, you will have soldiers to lead."

Granny Liu Zongmin, your words won't hurt Lao Tzu's heart?You said that I don't have the ability to lead the front army. Have you ever thought about where these soldiers of yours come from?How many of them I built with my own hands.Are you blind?
Liu Zongmin is blind, so are you, Li Zicheng?
However, Hao Yaoqi was loyal to King Chuang, so he didn't say any more.

Li Zicheng pondered for a moment, smiled, and said to Hao Yaoqi: "Your task is to train recruits in normal times, and you will go out with me in wartime, okay?"

"Okay!" Being able to fight with Li Zicheng in the Chinese army, Hao Yaoqi had nothing to say.

Yang Sichang tightly surrounded Zhang Xianzhong in Fengdu and Wulong in eastern Sichuan.

He was happy.Haha, Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong, I have been chasing you for a year, and I can finally close the net.This time, even if you have wings, it will be difficult for you to fly.

When Yang Sichang thought of Zhang Xianzhong's imminent capture, he had to think of Li Zicheng.Li Zicheng has been missing for more than half a year now. Although Zuo Liangyu reported earlier that he found Li Zicheng in Yunyang and carried out a devastating blow, Yang Sichang didn't really believe it. He felt that Li Zicheng hadn't shown up for so long, so he probably disappeared. He will never show up to cause trouble for Daming.

Now as long as Zhang Xianzhong is wiped out, Yang Sichang can return to the court as a teacher.In the past few months, Yang Sichang was not unaware that when his war against Zhang Xianzhong was not making much progress, some people tried their best to slander him in front of the emperor, saying that he had spent millions of dollars in vain; Wait and see and fear the enemy, and support the soldiers with self-respect.Yang Sichang couldn't speak, so he had to keep submitting memorials, reporting the military situation and expressing his loyalty.

It's all right now, once this battle is over, I won't be afraid of any slander or slander.

Today is the day of the general attack.

Thirty thousand bandits were tightly surrounded in a narrow strip called Yangjiaba.

Of course, Yang Sichang understood the [-].Eight thousand is an accurate number, a little exaggeration is necessary.

I have a full stomach.The army began to march.

An army of [-] was attacking a central point. Even Yang Sichang, who had seen the world before, could not help feeling overwhelmed when he saw this mighty actual combat scene today.

The encirclement is getting smaller and smaller.

Strange, Zhang Xianzhong did not line up?
See, there's a flag in a wood.But, where is the formation of eight thousand soldiers and horses?
A group of cavalry came out slowly.

300 people!
Forty thousand soldiers surrounded 300 people?

There is fraud!What Yang Sichang thought of was that Zhang Xianzhong ran away again.

While being suspicious, suddenly, the rear army shouted thunderously, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

"Master, the rear army has encountered the enemy!"

Yang Sichang cursed in his heart, nonsense, you need to report this?

"Whose army?" Yang Sichang also asked nonsense, besides Zhang Xianzhong, who else?

How bold!Jump out of the encirclement and dare to counterattack? "Yang Hu, if you lead the attack, be sure to cut off Zhang Xianzhong's head."

Yang Sichang gave orders to Yang Hu, the commander-in-chief beside him.

However, before Yang Hu could turn around, the [-] cavalry surrounded in the center began to attack.

Damn, it's messed up, isn't Zhang Xianzhong a bully?With a small attack big, even you 300 people dare to charge!

"Huang Biao, get rid of these 300 people." Yang Sichang's eyes were murderous, and he was angry.

Huang Biao led two thousand cavalry and left.

However, something strange happened.The core of three hundred cavalry penetrated directly into Huang Biao's formation, and Huang Biao had disappeared from Yang Sichang's sight.His 2000 men did not stop Zhang Xianzhong's 300 men at all.

It seemed that Zhang Xianzhong's 300 men did not encounter any resistance, and they went directly to Yang Sichang's main formation to kill.

"Whose soldiers and horses?"

Yang Sichang had never seen such elites.

"Zhang Wenxiu."

"Zhang Wenxiu? Who is Zhang Wenxiu?" Yang Sichang asked.

Adopted son of Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Kewang, Zhang Wenxiu.Two, Yang Sichang learned the lesson, a formidable character.

"Strap him to death with an array of iron barrels!" Yang Sichang ordered.

But, it was too late, Zhang Wenxiu had already rushed over.Although Yang Sichang was old, he ran for his life without hesitation at all, he flattered his horse and turned around and ran away.

Hao Yaoqi was not in a good mood at all, and unknowingly came to Li Laiheng's place.Li Laiheng is now the commander-in-chief of a front army. Although 6000 people are not many, he is an independent organization other than the five armies, and his status can be imagined.

Seeing Hao Yaoqi come in, Wang Si smiled and said, "Uncle Hao, you have something to do with the million-dollar military expansion plan." He knew the pain in Hao Yaoqi's heart, so he deliberately comforted him like this.However, Hao Yaoqi is a bit older than Wang Da Da, so how can he hide this from him?

"Sir Wang, stop comforting Uncle Hao. Uncle Hao knows what's going on. Where's Laiheng?" Hao Yaoqi said.

"Lao Jiu is back, they are discussing something inside."

"Oh? I won't go in if they have something to do, I'll go back."

"No, have a drink before you go. It's time for dinner."

"I won't drink anymore. Some people say that I drink too much. From now on, I will quit drinking." Hao Yaoqi said this, feeling a little sad.He didn't have a chance to lead the army. First, Liu Zongmin and Li Zicheng held grudges because of the division of troops in Shangluo Mountain. Second, they said that Hao Yaoqi was fond of wine and greedy, so he would make trouble sooner or later. Of course, the reason no one else said it was that Liu Zongmin thought Hao Yaoqi was brave. Useless, useless.

Hao Yaoqi was about to go out when Li Laiheng came out and said, "Uncle Hao, don't go, I have something to discuss with you. The old nine got the information, and Zhang Kewang sent his troops back to the area of ​​Zigui County, Huguang. They didn't make much publicity, maybe they were action."

"Oh? Zhang Xianzhong is back?" Hao Yaoqi asked.

"No, he dragged Yang Sichang to Sichuan." Li Laiheng said.

"Ha, Zhang Xianzhong is so cunning, he is going to take over Yang Sichang's nest. Haha, there is something exciting to watch." Hao Yaoqi laughed.

Lao Jiu and Li Laiheng were a little surprised. Hao Yaoqi saw Zhang Xianzhong's move at a glance, which was not easy.

"Uncle Hao, I'm going to go south and cooperate with Zhang Kewang to capture Xiangyang."

Hao Yaoqi was confused.Zhang Kewang and Li Laiheng are natural enemies, why should he help him?Besides, Zhang Xianzhong wanted to kill Li Zicheng several times, and now that the situation in the Central Plains is about to be resolved, why did he help Zhang Xianzhong conquer Xiangyang?Now, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong both need the support of the thirteen peasant armies, and whoever has the most momentum can get the support of more people.

Hao Yaoqi couldn't understand.

Li Laiheng didn't want to explain too much, and he didn't plan to ask Li Zicheng for instructions.He planned to take [-] riders into Huguang secretly, waiting for an opportunity to assist Zhang Kewang in conquering Xiangyang.

Zhang Xianzhong finally jumped out of Yang Sichang's encirclement.

Zhang Wenxiu did not take the risk of killing Yang Sichang.There was no need for him to kill Yang Sichang, because Zhang Wenxiu knew that Yang Sichang's death was coming soon.

"Tell Kewang that one or two cities can be destroyed. Xiangyang is the best place to strike the death knell for Yang Sichang." Zhang Xianzhong said to Xu Yixian.

"To break Yichang or Xiangyang, it depends on what Kewang means. Xiangyang city is heavily guarded, and he only has [-] soldiers and horses, so it's a bit difficult." Xu Yixian reminded Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong stroked his beard, smiled and said nothing.He knew Zhang Kewang's character.

At this time, one of them was also smiling, and he was Zhang Wenxiu.
