Dozens of miles away in Linxiang City, like Yuezhou, the local officials, soldiers and civilians fled after learning that the thieves were attacking. Now there are tens of thousands of rogue soldiers stationed in Linxiang City, and every day the soldiers go out in all directions, and they take the people everywhere to take the people as soldiers. However, it was only a few days' work, and there were as many as 100,000 soldiers and horses inside and outside Linxiang City, not including those who fled at night every day.

Feng Shuangli received the news in the middle of the night and hurriedly asked:

"How many officers and soldiers have been killed?"

The leader of the horsemen who was killed and retreated by more than 100 cavalry, although he did not see how many officers and soldiers there were, still exaggerated:

"I'm afraid there are more than 10,000 people."

Tens of thousands of horses!

Feng Shuangli asked again.

"Do you know who is in charge of the army?"

The leader of the horsemen said:

"The officers and soldiers did not play the flag, and they did not distinguish them."

After thinking about it, Feng Shuangli nodded and said:

"You go and rest first."

Di Sanpin says:

"It should be the officers and soldiers from Wuchang, there are only more than 10,000 horses, and we can eat it."

Someone on the side immediately chimed in:

"That is, the king asked us to plunder people as much as possible, in case they take advantage of our plundering to fight, when the time comes, it will be us who will suffer, let's eat this army first, and when the time comes, how many officers and soldiers will not dare to move."

Feng Shuangli retorted:

"Now it's not a question of whether to eat them or not, don't forget, there are still 200,000 officers and soldiers of Zuo Liangyu in Wuchang City. Let's defeat this one, in case his 200,000 army pounces, we will be the ones who suffer. ”

Di Sanpin said with a smile:

"What's so terrible about him Zuo Liangyu, it's not that he hasn't dealt with him, what are the officers and soldiers in the world like, and the big guy hasn't seen it. It's all a wreck, it's his Zuo Liangyu, isn't the Wuchang we collected also what we threw to him, if it weren't for the emperor's strict order, how could he dare to go out of the city to fight Wuchang? Elite soldiers? What does the officer and army look like? We don't know, anyway, all the officers and soldiers we've seen are soldiers! ”

This makes sense, and it's true.

Although it was the truth, Feng Shuangli still said cautiously.

"I'm not worried about the more than 10,000 people in front of me, this group of people and horses, we can eat if we want, what's the big deal, but what if it is Zuo Liangyu's leader? He has 200,000 horses under his command! Immediately send out a scout horse and look around. ”

These rogues have been wandering the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty for many years, and they have long been "spoiled" by the officials and soldiers along the way, and they don't take Zhu Guoqiang's thousands of soldiers in their eyes at all.

In their eyes, only Zuo Liangyu's main force of 200,000 troops can make them look high, not only Feng Shuangli, but also in Zhang Xianzhong's eyes.

When he learned that Zuo Liangyu led an army of 100,000 to kill Yuezhou, and heard that the military advisor Xu Yixian seemed to be a little worried, Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said:

"What is there to worry about, his Lao Zuo is our defeated general, he can't bite our Lao Tzu's bird!"

He can't bite our old man's bird!

Whether it's arrogance or self-confidence.

Although Zhang Xianzhong looked down on Zuo Liangyu, he still made some preparations, after all, Zuo Liangyu had an army of 100,000.

Xu Yixian, a military advisor, mentioned that troops should be sent to guard some intersections near Yuezhou to prevent sneak attacks by officials and soldiers. As the military advisor of Zhang Xianzhong's department, Xu Yixian has always been very respected by Zhang Xianzhong. And he has great political ambitions, and he wants to assist Zhang Xianzhong to win the world, and he also compares himself with Zhuge Liang. Historically, he should have drowned while taking Yuezhou, but here, something has changed.

Not only is he not dead, but he is alive and well. When he learned that Zuo Liangyu led the troops over, he naturally persuaded the king to be careful.

Listening to the advice of the military advisor, Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said:

"Old Xu, you don't have to worry too much. Zuo Liangyu, the turtle grandson, don't you know, last time we relied on silver and a letter to let him open the net, haven't you seen him do it clearly? In my opinion, this guy Lao Zuo, this time it's just for show, this time the emperor sent the general Pingyu, although the court easily did not dare to kill the general who held the military power, but, the military division, the general Pingyu is different, maybe he is looking for an opportunity to kill a general to establish his prestige? If he wants to start, he is afraid that he will not be able to find it? So I estimate that Lao Zuo also understands this, if he does not move, it will be equivalent to giving General Pingyu an excuse, and now that he has moved, he does not dare to risk going deeper. Now the generals of the imperial court, who doesn't just want to keep the throne. Their best strategy is to wait and see, and their next strategy is to fight hard. Lao Zuo doesn't have a ghost trick! ”

Zhang Kewang also nodded frequently and said:

"What Dad said is very true. With his Zuo Liangyu's personality, he must have been forced to be helpless, so he wanted to make a look of coming to chase and suppress before General Pinglu came to the court, and show General Pingyu that he might not dare to really fight with us, otherwise, we have all evacuated Wuchang for so long, how can we take Wuchang now. ”

Xu Yixian shook his head and said:

"No, no. Zuo Liangyu has been in battle for a long time, since he was forced to send troops out of desperation, but he must also know that just for a show, General Pingyu will definitely not be able to explain, and Lao Zuo must want to quickly win a battle to show General Pingyu. When it comes to war, you must always be prepared, so as not to be caught off guard temporarily. ”

Zhang Xianzhong laughed and patted Xu Yixian on the shoulder and said:

"My good military advisor! Don't you want to think about it, we now have 400,000 soldiers and horses, and the morale is strong, Lao Zuo was afraid of me like a tiger, why does he want to come to the tiger to scratch the tiger's head now? He was originally a selfish person, and he couldn't pee in the same pot as General Pingyu, let him behave, he must be nothing, but if he fights with real knives and guns, don't worry, he doesn't have the guts yet. We don't have much food for our soldiers and horses, so it's important to send a small group of people and horses out to fetch food every day! ”

Pan Duao went on to say:

"The king is the enemy, and he knows himself and the enemy. At present, I am not afraid of the official army coming, but I am afraid of a shortage of people and food. More men and horses should be sent to collect grain, and those who fetch more grain and plunder more will be rewarded, and those who have less should be punished. As long as we have enough food and food in our army, we will be a bird officer and soldier! ”

Other civil officials also echoed Zhang Xianzhong's opinion, saying that although the military advisor was resourceful, he did not see that Zuo Liangyu was selfish, and he would never take millet for the imperial court, and he would come over and fight with the Great Western Army in order to make a show. Seeing this, Xu Yixian shook his head slightly, still relieved, but he didn't want to annoy Zhang Xianzhong, so he didn't say more.

On the afternoon of the second day after Zhang Xianzhong ordered all the troops to try their best to fight grain and kidnap people, two passenger boats rowed from the river came to the wharf under the city of Yuezhou. Instead, he let the ship dock into the dock under the city of Yuezhou.

In fact, even if it is a rogue, it is inseparable from a businessman. They need merchants to buy all kinds of supplies for them, after all, there are things that cannot be grabbed casually, such as gunpowder and the sulfur used to make gunpowder. And they also need merchants to ventilate them, so these rogues will always maintain good relations with some merchants.

Even Zhang Xianzhong, who is notorious, will also give some businessmen flags and let them buy various materials for themselves. And this ship is flying the flag given by Zhang Xianzhong.

Naturally, the officers and men of Onishi who saw that flag would not be stopped by the ship. These people will even curry favor with these merchants in exchange for some rewards.

After the ship entered the dock, the captain of the boat said to the people sitting in the cabin.

"Master, the ship has arrived in Yuezhou City."

The master of the cabin nodded in his dress, and then stepped out of the cabin, stepped over the gangplank and went ashore, followed by the servant.

When he came ashore, the guys also began to get busy. While the guys were busy carrying goods to shore. The man said to the Great Western Army on the dock.

"The little brother is tired of passing it on his behalf, and the villain Xu Shiliang will send a letter to the king for the old friend of Agate Mountain."

As he spoke, he did not forget to put a small piece of broken silver into the man's hand, although it was only a small piece of broken silver, but after the man took the silver. A bright smile immediately appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said.

"Oh, you're welcome. The lord is polite, the little one will take you to the king. ”

So saying, he led him into the city......
