Now I heard that the imperial court wanted Liu Yongxi, the chief soldier of Jingkou Town, to take over the defense of Linhuai, and before several generals present could speak, Liu Liangzuo himself was angry: "Liu Yongxi? Isn't it that little hairy kid from the Sincerity Mansion? I've already inquired, this hairy kid is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year, let him lead the troops to move to Linhuai and Fengyang? Are you kidding? Does the imperial court really rely on a hairy child to guard the two Huai? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Liangzuo became more and more angry the more he spoke: "Don't the princes of the court know the truth that guarding the river must guard the Huai, and think that if you send a doll casually, you can guard the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum?" In the eight years of Chongzhen, did you forget the lesson that Fengyang was attacked by Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Yingxiang so quickly? If I were Cao Hu, they wouldn't want to get out of Linhuai! ”

Several generals present knew that Liu Liangzuo had directly set the tone, so Shen Bao, another deputy chief soldier, immediately stood up: "The marshal said it too well, we are just too obedient, so the court doesn't take us seriously, I will send someone to kill these few things that are not long-sighted, and let the court know that we are not easy to mess with!" ”

Cao Hu's opinion is similar to Shen Bao's: "Dashuai, this is indeed the case, this court is like a laughing girl, the more honest and disciplined you are, the more she looks down on you, since we are a feudal town, naturally we have to let the imperial court see the ability of our feudal town!" ”

Liu Liangzuo felt that what Shen Bao and Cao Hu said was good words: "That's the case, if the imperial court sends Gao Yingwu's elite soldiers to pick up Linhuai, I will admit it, but what does it mean to send such a little doll as Liu Yongxi?" Others don't know the details of Jingkou Town, I still don't know the details of Jingkou Town, there are only 3,000 new pawns in total, let's just send a guerrilla general out to solve the entire Jingkou Town, anyway, it's just a sentence, Linhuai is our territory, we can't let it out! ”

Liu Liangzuo originally felt that Linhuai was already a chicken rib for him, and the officials and people here were already full of hostility towards Liu Liangzuo, and now even if he took it down, it would not be of much sense, so it was better to take over Zhenshouzhou while it was good.

But when he heard that Liu Yongxi and Jingkou Town were going to move to Jingkou, he muttered in his heart.

A Linhuai County will definitely not be able to support Liu Yongxi's 3,500 generals, Liu Yongxi will definitely ask the court for more territory after moving to Linhuai, but between Fengyang and Shouzhou, there is only Liu Liangzuo's department, and in the end, the imperial court will continue to meet Liu Yongxi's requirements so that Liu Liangzuo will continue to give up the territory, there is a second Linhuai Pass, a third Linhuai Pass and countless Linhuai Passes, and Liu Yongxi's doll must be driven back as soon as possible.

So he directly came to a conclusion: "Next time Liu Yongxi sends someone over, you don't need to ask me to kill it directly!" ”

It's just that Liu Liangzuo only thinks about killing Liu Yongxi, but Liu Yongxi is also thinking about how to kill Liu Liangzuo, so he chooses to sneak into Liu Liangzuo's military camp in person.

Everything was similar to Liu Yongxi's expectations, Liu Liangzuo was indeed the weakest existence in the four towns of Jiangbei, and this infiltration of the enemy camp allowed Liu Yongxi to get more and more important information, and he was now eager for a clear answer: "Does General Li think Guangchangbo is a hero or a bear?" ”

And the general who was called General Li by Liu Yongxi was the leader of the messenger who called himself "General General" in front of Cao Hu, and he saw that he was gloomy, and did not answer Liu Yongxi's question head-on, but asked Liu Yongxi rhetorically: "Then do you think that Liu Liangzuo, Marquis of Guangchang, is a hero or a bear?" ”

Liu Yongxi replied generously: "If characters like Huama Liu can be called heroes, wouldn't they look down on the heroes of the world!" Although I haven't seen Guangchangbo himself, I only have one feeling, if these people can also be ranked in the four towns of Jiangbei, I, Liu Yongxi, can naturally replace them, and this Linhuai and Shouzhou are better handed over to Liu Liangzuo than handed over to me! ”

Liu Yongxi's "Flower Horse Liu" is Liu Liangzuo's nickname, named because Liu Liangzuo likes to ride a flower horse in front of the formation, and Liu Yongxi's words also made the general's expression more and more gloomy: "What the sincerity Bo said is true, when I think that such cats and dogs can also be as famous as our Xingping Bo, I have a heart of grievance!" ”

Liu Yongxi knows that any grievances are nonsense.

Because the surname of General Li in front of him is Li Chengdong, as long as there are enough interests, Li Chengdong can abandon any principle.

Although he doesn't like Li Chengdong in his heart, Liu Yongxi knows that Li Chengdong can be called a world-famous general, and he will create countless bloody killings in the next year, and if he wants to deal with Liu Liangzuo, he must borrow Li Chengdong's strength: "General Li, sure enough, the hero sees the same thing, seeing Liu Liangzuo's platoon of troops, I think Linhuai Pass is already in my pocket, I don't know what benefits General Li wants to be willing to be in the same boat with our Linhuai Town?" ”

Li Chengdong didn't expect Liu Yongxi to talk to him so straightforwardly about the conditions for sending troops, although he is an unprincipled martial artist, but at this moment he has to more or less cover it up: "Uncle Xiao Chengyi is too polite, this time it was Gao Dashuai and Mrs. Xing who sent me to assist Uncle Chengyi to take Linhuai Pass, how dare you put forward any conditions?" ”

It's just that Xing Shengping persuaded on the side: "Since they are all a family, why are you so polite, even if you send troops to my brother-in-law, you have to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, right, not to mention that today General Li, you came with righteous indignation, General Li, we are all our own people, if you have any conditions, just open your mouth, and promise not to let General Li suffer!" ”

Xing Shengping's trip to Yangzhou can be said to be a great success, especially with Mei Jiao Niang and elite troops who appeared in front of those garrisons and guerrillas who had always looked down on Xing Shengping in the past and tried their best to suppress Xing Shengping, so that they were all stunned.

These people all gathered around Xing Shengping one by one to greet Xing Shengping, and Gao Jie and Mrs. Xing had high hopes for Xing Shengping, hoping that he could pull Liu Yongxi's entire Linhuai Town over.

Although the combat strength of Gao Jie's department is the highest among the four towns in Jiangbei, it is the so-called tree that attracts the wind, and now whether it is the imperial court, prefectures and counties, or other feudal towns, they all maintain a hostile attitude towards Gao Jie's department.

This is also the reason why Gao Jie not only failed to cross the river or even Yangzhou City, but if he could pull the entire Linhuai Town and the Caojiang Water Division over, the situation would be completely different.

And Xing Shengping also used all his means to move around, and her Mrs. Mei was a first-class virtuous helper in this matter, not only persuaded Mrs. Xing and a group of Mizhi mothers-in-law, but even Gao Jie felt that the existence of Linhuai Town was a great benefit to the Gao family, and could even be used as a buffer between the Gao family army and the imperial court.

And the five battalions of Xing Shengping's department can become a special existence between Linhuai Town and Gao's army, and if Gao's army is not good at coming forward, Xing Shengping can do it under the banner of Linhuai Town.
