"General, the other party sent someone to say that these war horses are to be dedicated to the new dynasty in Hedong, if we attack and take them by force, won't we offend the imperial court?" Hearing the order, one of his subordinates immediately reminded cautiously.

"Do you believe this nonsense?" There was a trace of obvious jealousy on his face, and the thief retorted casually: "They are clearly the national thieves who have taken refuge in the Khitans, and in order to keep those horses, they deliberately deceive and confuse us!" ”

The more he spoke, the more affirmative Liang Hui's tone became. But obviously, he also had a struggle in his heart. After all, there are so many war horses in the mouth, it is too tempting, and if you don't eat it, it is really difficult to settle down in your heart.

What if what they say is true? Didn't we rob the imperial court? The subordinates obviously couldn't grasp Liang Hui's mentality, and asked a little bluntly.

His face twitched, and the thief wanted to slap the uninteresting man, especially when he looked at his "stupid" face. Taking a deep breath, Sheng Sheng suppressed the impulse, and Liang Hui said insincerely: "If that's the case, I will personally dedicate it to Hedong." We waited for the rebels to protect the horses, so that they would not be deceived by them, and let these thieves go......"

"Alright, don't say more, let's give the order!" After that, Liang Hui was too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore, and ended the conversation strongly.

Liang Hui was originally a native of Fuyang, Cizhou, and was a thief in the local area because of his difficult life. The Khitan invaded the south, and the Hebei states were invincible, and Cizhou was no exception. After Liu Zhiyuan became the emperor, after the edict of the thief was spread to the world, he moved his mind.

After precipitating for a while, secretly listening to the situation in various places, as the news of heroes rising up and killing Hu Kou and Zhanzhou County came to my ears, I couldn't help it, gathered the gangsters, and pulled the flag to raise righteousness.

The Cizhou thief who went down the mountain, for the first time, did not do anything to disturb the people and harm the people, and he did not commit any crime all the way, plus he was a Khitan, so he pulled up a team of more than 2,000 people and went straight to Fuyang.

With the secret support of Li Xu, the assassin of Cizhou, he increased his holdings of some weapons, but it was not enough at all. It happened to be found that in Xiangzhou in the south, a large number of ordnance and armor were accumulated in the treasury of Anyang Mansion, and the defense was empty. Almost without thinking, Liang Hui took the "righteous army" he pulled up and went straight to Anyang.

The result was naturally optimistic, and the city of Anyang was destroyed by him in a battle, and the Khitan soldiers and few ordnance in the city were occupied by Liang Hui, so as to quickly expand another wave of troops.

Anyang and Lin Xi are not far apart, and the straight-line distance is only a hundred miles. Liu Chengyou led the army to the east, without much fanfare, and his attention was focused on the Khitan army in the south, and he did not take into account Anyang's side, so he received the news a day late.

And the intelligence construction of the "righteous army" of the Cizhou thieves is even more backward, or it is not at all that awareness. Taking Anyang, it can be described as getting carried away, sending messengers to various counties and ordering them to be attached. When sending troops south to receive the wealthy Tangyin County, traces of Luo Yanbi's liberation team were also discovered.

And then it got to where it is today. And after coming from the west, it was received, and the Hedong court sent troops to the east.

In fact, even at this time, Liang Hui still couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. He raised troops, and the tiger skin in Hedong was always going to be pulled up to make a big banner. However, this time......

However, the slightest hesitation in my heart was quickly extinguished. As long as he moves fast enough, Hedong has nothing to say, as long as his strength is strong enough, the court will also have to win over.

Liang Hui is a handsome Zhao Di, and his knowledge may not be far-reaching, or he may be greedy for profit, but he can pull up a team in the chaos, which has its own advantages. Long swords and big swords, strong soldiers and strong horses, these "hard truths" that have been passed down for decades, he still knows something.

Under Liang Hui's orders, the "rebel army" was ready to move, but when they were slow to prepare and could not launch an attack, they announced that the attack plan was aborted.

"General, it's not good, there's an army coming from the west!" A scout came in a hurry to report.

His face changed slightly, Liang Hui was not too stupid, even if he had a guess in his heart, he couldn't help but confirm: "What flag?" How many people? ”

"It should be the army of Hedong, there are more than a thousand people!"

His expression suddenly became solemn, and Liang Hui was silent.

"General, do you still want to go on the offensive?" One of the subordinate commanders asked stiffly.

"Idiot!" Liang Hui scolded mercilessly, and then ordered: "Suspend the attack." Confess that you are not allowed to act rashly without my orders. ”

"Hmm......" paused, and then pointed to the subordinate who had reminded him before: "You, go and ask, the other party's intention." ”

......

On Liu Chengyou's side, he originally only planned to send a battalion of sergeants to meet him, but this morning, after receiving the unexpected situation from Han Tong for the second time, he moved his mind and personally brought people over.

The officers and men of the First Army, fully equipped, marched with vigorous steps, maintained a strict formation, and approached the front of the "Righteous Army" battalion. Although there are not many troops, the well-trained appearance has brought great pressure to the other party, especially when Ma Quanyi waved the command flag in his hand, the whole army suddenly let out a burst of cheers, like nine days of thunder, majestic and violent, echoing in this mountain forest.

Before they even met, they had already won an overwhelming victory. Liang Hui shrank in the righteous army, looked at the Longqi army that boldly forced to his camp, and silently compared it in his heart, the comparison result was very unfriendly, it should not be an opponent, and he suddenly extinguished the intention of armed confrontation and prepared to solve it "peacefully".

Before the battle, Liu Chengyou was also in heavy defense, and he still spared his life. Han Tong sent someone to contact him early, and the "rebel army" had no way or intention to block the town. At this time, he also led the knight out of the gate with Luo Yanbi, preparing to cooperate with Liu Chengyou to attack.

"Go back and tell your general that you are here alone to deal with the Khitans. These war horses are for our army, thank you for escorting them all the way, let's retreat......" In front of the army, sweeping the apprehensive man, Liu Chengyou said lightly, with no doubt in his calm tone.

He didn't give him a chance to speak, and ordered someone to send him out.

"Your Highness, these grass cowards are so bold that they dare to hit the attention of our army. Why be polite to them, as long as you give an order, the last general will dare to make a military order, and within half an hour, they will be defeated! Ma Quanyi was beside Liu Chengyou and took the initiative to propose.

"The courage of the whole righteousness, I naturally believe in it, even if the other party is twice as much, how can it be your opponent." Liu Chengyou said calmly: "However, after all, it is the 'righteous army', the strong man who responds to the call of the Son of Heaven, and the 'friendly army' who fights against the Khitans together." ”

"At present, dealing with the Khitan talent is the first thing, and it is difficult to cause too much trouble to the Khitan people with only our people, and we need to unite all the forces that can be united. If you lightly move the army because of this conflict, you will make the hearts of the world look away from the heroes in Hedong, and you can't lose a big one because of a small one......"

Liu Chengyou's words seemed extremely calm and took the overall situation into account. But from its mouth, there is always a faint feeling of dissonance.
