Zuo Liangyu was still pondering, and Fan Ju continued: "Besides, the general is a famous general, and his soldiers are brave, and the court still depends on you, so I don't dare to do anything to you!" ”

These words were incisive, and Zuo Liangyu's heart was full of joy. He stood up suddenly, bowed his hand to Fan Ju, and said, "Sir's words are really like seeing the sun through the clouds. 【Latest chapter reading. Zuo admired. Besides, it was my intention to fight a decisive battle with the thieves, so I would raise my troops, first recapture Wuxian, and then fight a decisive battle with Zhang Xianzhong. ”

Fan Ju stood up with a smile, patted Zuo Liangyu on the shoulder, and didn't say anything, just said: "I wish the general success in advance here." ”

Fan Ju returned to his tent, where Ziyi was waiting for him. As soon as he came back, he asked, "How did you talk to Zuo Liangyu?" Fan Ju smiled: "Although I don't have Zhang Yi's sharp mouth, it's not bad, just a few words, and it moved his mind." ”

Ziyi nodded, but asked, "What does Mr. mean by wanting to encourage Zuo Liangyu to fight a decisive battle with Zhang Xianzhong?" It's time to tell me about it. ”

Fan Ju sat down, poured a glass of wine and drank it, and said leisurely: "Yes." I did this for two purposes, the first is to get rid of Zuo Liangyu. ”

Ziyi said: "Why? Is there anything to be afraid of him? ”

Fan Ju shook his head lightly: "General Ziyi, you don't know, Zuo Liangyu is a good general, no worse than you." If the officers and soldiers reuse this person, the peasant army will soon be wiped out, and if the peasant army is eliminated, we will have no chance. Therefore he must be removed. ”

Ziyi nodded: "What Mr. said is extremely true. And what about the second? ”

Fan Ju said: "As long as Zuo Liangyu is defeated by Zhang Xianzhong, Yang Sichang will definitely treat him with two crimes, and Zuo Liangyu will lose his official position at least and lose his life at worst." At this time, Yang Sichang lost a good general, and the army was discouraged, and he would definitely not be able to quell the rebellion of Zhang Luo and the others. At that time, Yang Sichang would not have a good time. The emperor's trust in him came to an end. At that time, it will be my turn and you to command the whole army. ”

Ziyi suddenly realized, and raised his big finger: "Mr. is really high." But what if ......"

Fan Ju smiled: "Are you afraid that Zuo Liangyu will defeat Zhang Xianzhong?" Ziyi nodded, and Fan Ju said: "Zuo Liangyu only has 10,000 people, and the Zhang Luo coalition army has more than 100,000 people, and they occupy a favorable position, I think no matter how powerful Zuo Liangyu is, it is impossible to defeat the peasant army that is ten times larger." ”

Let's talk about Zuo Liangyu, after he sent Fan Ju away, he thought for a while, stood up suddenly, and ordered the front camp to open immediately.

The front battalion was his own men, and these Changping soldiers followed him to fight in the south and north, until now, this army has almost become Zuo Liangyu's family soldiers, and no one can command him except him. Zuo Liangyu does not pay attention to military discipline, so his reputation among the people is very poor, but these people respect Zuo Liangyu like a god, as long as Zuo Liangyu speaks, the knife mountain dares to go up, the sea of fire dares to drill, and the combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

After the order was issued, the front battalion immediately packed up its men and horses and rushed to Wuxi, Zuo Liangyu personally led the army as the vanguard in order to get rid of Yang Sichang, and his son Zuo Mengeng was not yet an adult, and also marched with the army.

Zuo Liangyu knew that Wuxi was an empty city at this time, and the Zhang Luo coalition army had abandoned here, so when he rushed to Wuxi, he saw that the city gate was wide open, and the city was a mess.

Zuo Liangyu entered the city, instructed his subordinates to post notices, and told the people in the city and outside the city, and then passed on the order to immediately hoard grain and grass for ten days.

At this time, there were only two days of food left in Zuo Liangyu's army. So his men and horses scattered, everywhere to collect food, there was no one in Wuxi City, so he went outside the city to grab food, for a time within a radius of dozens of miles, chickens and dogs jumped, and the complaints were loud.

Immediately there was a peasant army's fine work reported to Zhang Xianzhong, at this time Zhang Xianzhong had already arrived at Agate Mountain, holding on to the danger, he and Luo Rucai heard the news from the fine work, Zhang Xianzhong laughed, patted Luo Rucai's shoulder: "Cao Cao, how about it, our move, just like a weasel waiting for chickens, how dare Zuo Liangyu come!" ”

Luo Rucai said: "Don't be careless, Zuo Liangyu ordered to go, to hoard grain and grass, it seems that sooner or later it will come, although our army has nearly a month's worth of food, but we also have to prevent Yang Sichang from making trouble behind." ”

Zhang Xianzhong spit out: "Yang Sichang, he is worth a chicken feather." In Lao Tzu's eyes, except for Zuo Liangyu, who is an old fox, the rest of the people are fine. Come on, come on, call your drum team, and we'll have fun. ”

This Luo Rucai likes wine, and every time he hits a county town, he has to search the city and arrest some beautiful women to fill his harem. After a long time, when they saw that there were women who did not like their eyes, they rewarded them to their subordinates, and these subordinates humiliated those women, either killed or sold, and even sometimes cooked them as military rations, which was very cruel. In addition to being lustful, Luo Rucai also likes music, and has collected many musicians who can play, play and sing, and raised them in the army. Every time I drank with my subordinates, I let them play music.

But they never dreamed that when the two of them were drinking fine wine, hugging beautiful women, and listening to beautiful music, Zuo Liangyu issued an urgent order on the night when he entered Wuxi County, and the whole army assembled and went straight to Agate Mountain.

This is Zuo Liangyu's cunning.

He knew that there must be a peasant army in the nearby townships, so he ordered to hoard military rations and make it look like he was going to be stationed in Wuxi County for a few days.

Zuo Liangyu still personally led 5,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and he let an old acquaintance of Zhang Xianzhong take the lead, and this old acquaintance was Guotianxing Hui Dengxiang.

After he surrendered, part of his troops did not surrender, but was led by Zhang Tianlin, so Zhang Tianlin called himself Guo Tianxing and no longer recognized Hui Dengxiang.

After Hui Dengxiang surrendered, he was assigned to Zuo Liangyu's men, and he was loyal to Zuo Liangyu and was willing to die for him, but there was no good opportunity. This time, I heard that he was the striker, and went to attack Zhang Xianzhong, and he was overjoyed, he brought more than 30 subordinates, all of whom were elite soldiers, who had rebelled with him before, and went straight to Agate Mountain.

Zuo Liangyu knew that Zhang Xianzhong had already built a defensive fortress on Agate Mountain, and if he attacked hard, the casualties would be very large, and it would be impossible to work in a short time, so he sent Hui Dengxiang to steal the camp, as long as he could earn the camp gate, although the peasant army was numerous, there was nothing to be done.

10,000 Changping soldiers are divided into two parts, the front 5,000 people are personally led by Zuo Liangyu, and the back 5,000 people follow closely, the two sides are about three miles apart, which can echo back and forth, and once they encounter an ambush, there is also a response.

Hui Dengxiang took more than 30 people, rode his horse and galloped, walking in the front of the whole army, Zuo Liangyu did not follow, but threw away a distance, this time it was a sneak attack, mainly to see if Hui Dengxiang could win the door.

When the sky was just dawning, Hui Dengxiang led people to Agate Mountain.

As soon as he entered the mountain, Hui Dengxiang met a small group of sentries of the peasant army, about twelve or thirteen, who were resting in the woods by the roadside, when he suddenly saw a group of people, hurriedly riding horses, about twenty or thirty people, all dressed in peasant soldiers, and did not know where to go.

The leader of the squad whistled, and the men ran out of the woods, blocking the way, and the squad leader raised his musket, and the others drew their bows and arrows, and shouted, "Stop." ”

Whedeng was very cunning, he did not be at the front, but let one of his own soldiers lead the team in the front, in case anyone in the peasant army knew him. The soldier reined in his horse and shouted, "Are you the people of the Eight Kings?" ”

The squad leader said, "Yes, which hill are you from?" ”

The soldier replied: "I am under Luo Shuai, and I have been ordered by him to go to Wuxi to inquire about the news of the official army, and there is an important situation at the moment, which needs to be reported immediately." ”

The team leader was taken aback: "What's the important situation?" The soldier said impatiently: "I don't have time to fight with you, hurry up and get out of the way, I want to go into the mountain and meet Luo Shuai." The team leader didn't give up: "No, you said that you are Luo Shuai's person, why haven't I seen it, you wait here, I'll go see the Eight Kings and Luo Shuai." ”

The pro-soldier was furious: "Are you a member of the Eight Great Kings, or are you pretending to be an official here?" Brothers, pull me guys. ”

More than 30 people were about to fight, and the team leader hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, brother, I'm really under the Eight Kings, but I don't know if you are the people around Luo Shuai, so I have to ask, you tell me, what is the important situation, I will let you go after listening." ”

The pro-soldier glanced at him, and it seemed that there was nothing he could do, so he said: "We have inquired clearly, Zuo Liangyu has already rushed over with his men and horses, and it is only twenty miles away from here. ”

This time, the squad leader was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Of course, of course, but I have a better idea." ”

He took out a long paper tube from his bosom and said, "As soon as I let this go, the whole mountain will be on guard, isn't it faster than your horse?" ”

The soldier jumped off his horse with a smile, and the people behind him also dismounted, and they all gathered around, and the soldier said, "So you have a letter cannon, great, great......"

As he spoke, he approached the squad leader, and suddenly his wrist flipped over, the white light flashed, and a bright clutch had been stabbed into the squad leader's heart.

Before the squad leader could understand, he slashed the squad leader's throat with another knife.

At the same time, more than 30 people around him also rushed over, stabbing and shooting indiscriminately, and the more than ten peasant soldiers were killed to the ground.

Hui Deng asked Zhang Xianzhong where he was, and then killed the peasant army with a knife, and then he ordered to take advantage of the darkness to pounce on Zhang Xianzhong's old camp.
