Outside the tent of the Chinese army, the guards are heavily guarded, and they are all guarded by Zuo Liangyu's personal guards, and others are strictly forbidden to approach.

In the Chinese military tent, Zuo Liangyu and a group of confidants and generals are there, but Liu Guoneng, who has been reused by him these days, is missing.

Seeing this posture, Daniel Zhang and the others knew that the marshal had very confidential matters to discuss. I don't know why, there was a kind of excitement in their hearts, and they all stared at Zuo Liangyu and listened to him.

I saw Zuo Liangyu first glanced at his son Zuo Mengeng, and then glanced at the generals below, and said slowly: "We and those thieves are not all the way after all, I believe that these days, you should also feel it!" ”

Not only Zuo Liangyu was said to be excluded by them when he was discussing with the leaders of other bandits, but even these generals below usually felt the hostility from other bandits. In the final analysis, it is because they have been fighting for many years, and naturally it is impossible for Zuo Liangyu to become a thief, and everything in the past will disappear.

In fact, Zuo Liangyu's subordinates actually looked down on those thieves. If it weren't for the situation, they wouldn't be willing to mix with these thieves who were chased and killed by them back then.

Therefore, at this time, hearing that Zuo Liangyu picked out this topic, Daniel Zhang and the others immediately exploded, and began to curse those thieves one by one, anyway, all kinds of unpleasant eyes, if it were not for the overall situation, they would have drawn their knives long ago.

Zuo Mengeng listened to this, and suddenly understood in his heart, why didn't his father call Liu Guoneng over today.

Zuo Liangyu waited for them to vent for a while before he said seriously: "Now that the emperor is surrounded in the city, there are hundreds of miles around, at least there is no large-scale Ming army. It is estimated that at the speed of the imperial court, there will still be four or five days. And even if they do, our scouts will be able to get the news back in time. ”

He let the night out for hundreds of miles, a day's journey, which should be considered safe.

Because he knows what the situation of the court is now! is so poor that the cavalry that can be scraped together in a short period of time is in the surrounding provinces, at most only five or six thousand. At this point, if the cavalry is released to help, there are more than 200,000 people here, and there are about 5,000 cavalry thieves, and it will be useless to come, and they will send their lives here.

As for the infantry army, the road of more than a hundred miles will take at least three days to reach. If you send out cavalry to harass you, it can take four or five days.

According to Zuo Liangyu's judgment, the source of the imperial court officials and troops must have been on foot and horse. In this way, the warning range of more than 100 miles is enough!

Zuo Liangyu said this, after a pause, he suddenly raised his voice and said: "What is in front of us now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" As long as we seize this opportunity, before the Ming army arrives, break through Nanyang and catch the emperor, there will be a lot to be done in this world! ”

Although it is impossible to say that you can take the Ming Dynasty at once, but with the emperor in your hands, it is a strange thing to live in, and many things can be done. For this point, everyone in the military tent in this is naturally clear. Therefore, when they heard it, they were immediately excited.

However, Zuo Liangyu was very calm, and still said without impatience: "But if you want to capture Nanyang in these days, you can't do it with scattered sand." It is necessary to concentrate these 200,000 men and horses, under the unified order, and attack the city at any cost, so that there is the possibility of taking it! ”

"Dashuai, but those thieves won't listen to us!" Daniel Zhang listened, quickly reminded him, and then suddenly thought of something, and said with a little surprise, "It's impossible for the marshal not to fight for the alliance master, you want to listen to them, right?" ”

Zuo Liangyu listened, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he sneered: "I'd rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the cow, Ben Shuai naturally wants to be the leader!" ”

"But they ......," Daniel Zhang listened, a little confused. Naturally, they are willing to Zuo Liangyu to be the leader of this alliance, but the key is that those thieves will not agree!

Zuo Liangyu knew what he meant, but he smiled coldly and said: "Ben Shuai has his own ideas, and this time he summoned you and others for this matter!" ”

When these generals heard this, they were all in high spirits, and then listened attentively to what Zuo Liangyu had to do.

……

About half an hour later, the generals excitedly left their tents one by one. Subsequently, one of Zuo Liangyu's personal guards went to pass Liu Guoneng to discuss the matter.

Liu Guoneng didn't stay in the Chinese military tent for long, and he came out soon, and he could see that there was a little doubt on his face.

When his relatives saw it, they hurriedly greeted him. Liu Yue was also among them, and asked a little curiously: "Is there anything that the big marshal commands?" ”

These relatives in the group with Liu Yue are all the most trusted by Liu Guineng, that is, a few of those five people, Wang Liuhui is there, he is also strange, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, it seems a little strange to see you like this!" ”

Liu Guoneng gestured with his eyes, and simply said: "Let's go, let's go to other battalions, the commander has something to convey." ”

…………

Tongguan to Nanyang, it is only 800 miles of road, if it is replaced by the high-speed of the later generations, it will only take half a day to drive. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen led the cavalry army and was on the way to Nanyang. It was estimated that it would take at least four or five days, which made him a little depressed.

However, what made him even more puzzled was that judging from the news transmitted back by the first-class eavesdropping seed on Liu Yue, the hundred households of Jinyi Wei, he didn't know what Zuo Liangyu was doing, as if he suddenly had a big picture and announced his withdrawal from the alliance leader. The reason is also very simple, saying that even if he captures Nanyang first, the other families will definitely not obey him. It seems that everyone else is happy about this. However, Zuo Liangyu also has conditions, that is, he wants to be the deputy leader of the alliance, the so-called one person is under and above ten thousand.

As a result, the other families continued to send people over to Zuo Liangyu's side, and he was originally the most deserted here, but it became popular all of a sudden. Even the people who were sent over were getting higher and higher. Liu Yue didn't know what the conversation was about, but Emperor Chongzhen could guess that it should be that the promise to win over Zuo Liangyu was getting higher and higher.

Just when Emperor Chongzhen walked more than 300 miles away from Nanyang, the situation in Nanyang changed abruptly. Thieves from all walks of life suddenly fought.

Because Liu Yue is not a core figure, the news he heard is limited, and the content that Emperor Chongzhen understands is also limited.

Anyway, the result was that Li Zicheng looked like an honest man, but he suddenly arrested Luo Rucai, Hui Dengxiang and others, thanks to Zhang Xianzhong's quick reaction, and when the discussion was over, Zhang Xianzhong escaped. But as soon as he got outside, he met Zuo Liangyu with Daniel Zhang and others, and fell into Zuo Liangyu's hands, and then, when Zuo Liangyu handed Zhang Xianzhong to Li Zicheng, he suddenly made a difficult attack and even Li Zicheng beat him.

Liu Guoneng did not participate in this sudden firefight, so Zuo Liangyu did not take him to play. Therefore, Liu Yue did not know. When all the dust settled, Liu Guoneng knew the news.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the lines of subtitles displayed in the eavesdropping system, and couldn't help but secretly sigh, if you want to talk about treachery, these thieves are really no match for Zuo Liangyu!

Probably the situation, inferred from the news he saw one after another, he kind of understood.

Zuo Liangyu just pretended to be a sick cat, so that others were less guarded against him, and then made him a strange thing to live in, I don't know what the reason, he should have finally negotiated the conditions with Li Zicheng, or possibly, he also negotiated the conditions with Zhang Xianzhong and others, but in the end, Zuo Liangyu was on Li Zicheng's side.

As a result, when Li Zicheng tried his best to get rid of the other bandit leaders, Zuo Liangyu suddenly became difficult, relying on his family to be the most elite, and a counterattack was carried out, and Li Zicheng, who had not had time to be happy, was done.

In this regard, Zuo Liangyu publicly reasoned that Li Zicheng was still ready to do something to him, so he made a move. However, Li Zicheng was scolding Zuo Liangyu for his treachery, what is the truth, Emperor Chongzhen can't tell it for the time being, but he doesn't have the leisure to tell who is true.

This result is not good news for Emperor Chongzhen. Although the thieves fought fiercely, they were only a fight between the top leaders, and they did not damage the main force of the thieves.

Now the leaders of the other thieves have fallen into Zuo Liangyu's hands, judging from the news of the eavesdropping system, Zuo Liangyu took these leaders captured by him as hostages, and asked the other thieves to listen to him, and unified the order, at least on the surface.

Today's Zuo Liangyu seems to be complacent and begins to readjust the siege deployment of Nanyang. Judging from the threat of his military discussion, if the other thieves from all walks of life do not attack the city with all their might, he will be unkind.

On the next day, the corpses of thieves were piled up under Nanyang City, and the corpses that had not been cleaned up in the previous days had begun to stink. The defenders at the head of the city had to cover their mouths and noses with cloths to hold on. Now that there are so many corpses, you can imagine what the city will be like in a few days!

According to Liu Yue's estimates, the thieves have lost at least 50,000 corpses under Nanyang City in these days. In other words, the old, weak, and disabled among the thieves from all walks of life were basically driven to the city by the thieves and sent to death.

When night fell, the encamped Emperor Chongzhen saw the conversation between Liu Guoneng and Liu Yue in the eavesdropping system.

"Just now, the marshal issued an order, saying that this side of Nanyang City will not attack the city for the time being, but only leave the besieging men and horses to prevent the Ming army in the city from collecting the corpses. If the city set fire to the corpses, they said that they would be thrown into the city in catapults. ”

"Why is this left thief so vicious?"

"In addition, the Governor's army is a hundred miles away, and there may be a night tomorrow. The Grand Marshal had ordered a tiger to lead the army under King Chuang to stop the attack, and then retreat and bring the Governor's army to Wollongong, and he would personally lead the other families to ambush at that time. I mean, at this point, someone must be sent to tell the Governor! ”

"Hmm...... Well, I agree! ”

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen knew that Liu Yue was following his will and would not have contacted the imperial court. However, now that there is such a situation, Zuo Liangyu wants to ambush Chen Qiyu, and he feels that it is impossible not to contact him, so he still agrees to Liu Guoneng.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen issued a decree to let the generals from all walks of life come to discuss the matter.

Not long after, He Renlong, Wu Sangui, and Hu Dawei and others who escorted the return of the war horse all arrived at the Chinese military tent.

After Emperor Chongzhen asked them to be exempted, he came to the hanging map of Nanyang, pointed at it with a thin stick and said: "At present, we are here, about one hundred and fifty miles away from Nanyang, this is what Qing and others told me, and it is generally beyond the limit of sending probes to ...... horses."

For this situation, these generals naturally knew about it, so they continued to listen to what the emperor said without changing their faces.

"And in Nanyang, the leaders of all kinds of thieves, including Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, Hui Dengxiang and others, have been taken hostage by Zuo Liangyu, and their subordinates are also forced to obey Zuo Liangyu's command......"

When Emperor Chongzhen began to introduce the situation of the thieves on the Nanyang side, the faces of these generals finally changed. They didn't expect that the emperor would know everything about the situation in Nanyang, which was a big problem!

“…… Now Zuo Liangyu has mobilized 100,000 horses and prepared to ambush Wollongong and ambush the 30,000 horses led by Chen Qing, the governor of the five provinces. When Emperor Chongzhen introduced this, he put down the thin stick in his hand, turned around and walked back to the throne, and asked at the same time, "What do you think our army should do?" ”

He didn't get carried away just because he had won the Tumut tribe, thinking that he would fight. Instead, he explained the situation first, then listened to the advice of these generals who led the troops, and then combined his own ideas to get a strategy that everyone recognized as good.

"Your Majesty, although there are many of those thieves, they are all a rabble. However, if Governor Chen was in a hurry to rescue Nanyang and the army was exhausted, once he was ambushed, he might be defeated. Therefore, the last general suggested that Wollongong should be rushed to help immediately! After He Renlong heard this, he was the first to speak, "As soon as our army appears, the thieves will definitely be dispersed!" ”

Wu Sangui also followed along: "Your Majesty, our army has more than 25,000 horsemen, not to mention those thieves, even Jianyu will be very jealous." Therefore, the last general also thought that the thieves would be scattered! ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded when he heard this, then turned his head to look at the other generals, and at the same time said: "It is inevitable to win them, but what I want is to annihilate them, not defeat them!" ”

When Hu Dawei heard this, he immediately followed the line and said: "Your Majesty, if you say this, you can have one person and two horses, and when you are about to fight, you have enough horsepower, as long as you can annihilate the cavalry among the thieves, it is impossible for those infantry troops to escape, and they should all be annihilated!" ”

If one person has two horses, some of the mounted infantry will have to walk. But it doesn't matter, the number of cavalry is still enough. Hu Dawei is worthy of being born in Mongolia, and using this trick is indeed a way.

With that in mind, he nodded again and continued to ask for the others' opinions. After a long while, the generals of all the armies finished speaking, and Emperor Chongzhen announced another piece of news: "In Zuo Liangyu's army, Liu Guoneng's department is in Cao Ying's heart in Han. At the beginning, it was agreed that once he fought with the official army, his subordinates would tie a belt around their left arm. ”
