"King! In this battle, our army captured Luzhou, so we need to divide our troops to capture Lu'an Prefecture and Shucheng based on Luzhou, and form a stable situation with Luzhou. Zhang Songzhi stared at the map in front of him and preached to Zhang Xianzhong, who was sitting on the main seat of the Malaysian Golden Knife: "Once it is said that our army can gain a firm foothold in the above three places, then it can fundamentally suppress Liu Guoneng and Bai Jiu'er.

Although morally speaking, Liu Guoneng and Bai Jiu'er are the allies of the king, but only if these soldiers and horses are in their own hands, they are truly powerful! ”

As a talented man captured by Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Songzhi experienced the initial fierce resistance, and since Zhang Xianzhong chose to break with Wang Ziyong, he inexplicably followed Zhang Xianzhong's command, which also made Zhang Xianzhong wonder what was going on in his heart at the beginning.

This Ming reader just can't figure it out.

As everyone knows, there are not a few situations like Zhang Songzhi that occur in the army of rogues......

Zhang Xianzhong nodded and said: "What the military advisor said is extremely true, then this king will send Hou Er and Tian Wu to lead more than 10,000 soldiers to carry out a surprise attack on Lu'an Prefecture and Shucheng!" ”

Different from the historical trajectory, when Zhang Xianzhong led the army to capture Luzhou, although he also encountered some problems, because of the capital in his hands, the fortified city of Luzhou finally fell into the hands of Zhang Xianzhong.

The same as the capture of Fengyang City, Zhang Xianzhong, who became the master of the house, after capturing Luzhou, did almost the same thing as Wang Ziyong, so that Liu Guoneng and Bai Jiu'er, who had contributed a lot, did not get the spoils they wanted, which made Liu Guoneng and Bai Jiu'er very dissatisfied.

But what about this dissatisfaction?

The successive losses also made Liu Guoneng and Bai Jiu'er no longer arrogant, and in order to protect the forces under their command, they had to endure humiliation and burden, and secretly formed an alliance to confront Zhang Xianzhong.

It's just that for Zhang Xianzhong, these are obviously trivial, because he has a think tank by his side, which also makes Zhang Xianzhong clear about the next development outline.

Zhang Songzhi so that Zhang Xianzhong can focus on strategic development!

After obeying Zhang Songzhi's deployment arrangement, in the next ten days, Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates successively took Lu'an Prefecture, Shucheng, and Huoshan.

Because of Zhang Weixian's rule, the corruption in the Ming officialdom has become increasingly severe, which has also corrupted the local officialdom, in the face of Zhang Xianzhong's fierce attack, the local officials have no time to care, when they heard that the rogue soldiers and horses were coming, they abandoned their official positions one by one and fled, which made Zhang Xianzhong easily take the territory they planned.

Then, with the help of the rapidly expanding power, Zhang Xianzhong took advantage of the situation to suppress Liu Guoneng and Bai Jiu'er, so that the soldiers and horses under their command were completely annexed, and Liu Guoneng and Bai Jiu'er finally had to choose to be loyal to Zhang Xianzhong in order to save their lives!

I was afraid that Liu Guoneng and Bai Jiu'er didn't expect that when they secretly formed an alliance with Zhang Xianzhong, their fate was actually doomed.

After realizing the above strategy, Zhang Songzhi pointed out the next strategy, Zhang Xianzhong's department with the help of the Huoshan terrain, successfully captured the Yingshan area, and then entered Luotian County, the Huangzhou capital under the jurisdiction of Huguang, through Yingshan, after a series of battles, conquered Macheng on the third day of the first month of March.

Since then, the prestige of Zhang Xianzhong's department has been further expanded, and he began to precipitate and expand the northern territory of Huguang to deal with the next retaliation of the Ming army.

…

…

Different from history, Gao Yingxiang's power in this life is also much stronger than that, although it is said that he lost Li Zicheng, a general, but on the way to Fengyang Mansion, Gao Yingxiang obtained a large number of subordinates, and most of them are literati.

"King! Since Zhang Xianzhong wants to develop his forces in Luzhou, then we also need to leave Fengyang as soon as possible, if we wait for the Ming army to react, I am afraid that the next need to bear will be very heavy, with the current situation of our army, it is not yet possible to resist the counterattack of the Ming army with the strength of an army! Fan Guozhong stroked his beard, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "Since this is the case, then there is no need for our army to be a stick here." ”

When Zhang Xianzhong was planning to capture Luzhou, Gao Yingxiang and the others were also discussing how to develop their forces next.

Gao Yingxiang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Then how do you say our army should develop?" ”

When Fan Guozhong was speaking, Fan Guoxing, who was beside him, smiled and said, "King! Why can't our army follow behind Zhang Xianzhong's department, after Zhang Xianzhong's department captured Luzhou, he took advantage of the situation to quickly pass through Luzhou, and then the army went straight to Tongcheng!

After our army takes Tongcheng, you can temporarily use this as a base, and then you can take advantage of the situation to capture Qianshan, Huaining, Taihu, Susong and other places, after the army captures Susong, this passage to the land of Huguang will be owned, and then you can take advantage of the situation to subdue the mud Zhang Cunmeng, the scorpion block Tuoyangkun two, completely let the king's soldiers and horses merge into one! ”

It is said that Fan Guozhong and Fan Guoxing are twin brothers, and in many cases, they will communicate with each other in their hearts, which also makes the strategies they make complementary to each other.

Like Zhang Xianzhong, since he experienced a series of things, Gao Yingxiang has not hidden, and the ambition that has grown in his heart.

After hearing the interpretation of the two brothers, Fan Guozhong and Fan Guoxing, Gao Yingxiang nodded and said, "Okay! The insight you two mentioned is really good, a mixed force of soldiers and horses, after all, there is no unified force of soldiers and horses, if you want to make your power expand rapidly, this army must have its own capital. ”

Fan Guozhong said with a smile: "What the king said is right, if our department can successfully solve the above deployment, we can take advantage of the situation to capture the intersection of Huangzhou Mansion and Jiujiang Mansion!"

According to the unique system of the Ming army, for the intersection of this province and the government, it is the weakest place for their power, if our army can gain a firm foothold here, then this can be a bridgehead to attack the southern territory of Huguang! ”

Gao Yingxiang said: "Okay! Since there is such a good policy you have set, then this king will have a good meeting with the Ming army in the place for a while, and this king wants to see who dares to confront this king!! ”

Because of the help of the masters around them, Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Yingxiang seized the opportunity in the territory of Huguang, and the division of the two of them into the south and north also made them share the pressure of each other to a great extent, which also further promoted the development of the two in Huguang.

…

…

Unlike Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong, Wang Ziyong, Chong Guangdao, He Jin, and He Yilong were in Fengyang, and they did not choose to leave immediately, but chose to continue to wait and see in Fengyang.

More importantly, they were not willing to be reconciled to the interests of Fengyang, so they gave it to others, which also made them lose the opportunity to enter Huguang.

If you can seize this once-in-a-lifetime fighter, then you can take advantage of the situation to achieve unimaginable gains, if you don't catch this once-in-a-lifetime fighter, then you deserve to lose these.

Wang Ziyong, Chongguangdao, He Jin, and He Yilong obviously belong to the latter.

Of course, for those who have a heart, he will definitely not waste Wang Ziyong, Chongguang Dao, He Jin, He Yilong where their forces are located, after all, there are many problems in Daming, since there is no road to Huguang, then Wang Ziyong, Chongguang Dao, He Jin, He Yilong They can also go to other places!

For example, in Shandong, which is adjacent to North Zhili and Henan!

Because Zhao Zongwu was only under the control of underground forces in Shandong, although there was a series of turmoil caused by the White Lotus Uprising, this did not shake the gentry power in Shandong, so this also made the gentry power in Shandong still very strong.

In order to completely solve the problems in Shandongdong and lay the foundation for the next mastery of the place, there was a new strategy of Wang Ziyong, Chongguangdao, He Jin, and He Yilong going north.

Fortunately, Wang Ziyong's prestige is still a little bit, because of the persuasion of Zheng Donglai, a strategist under his command, Wang Ziyong temporarily put down his net worth and used the soldiers under his command as a medium, Guangdao, He Jin, and He Yilong apologized in exchange for a short period of alliance cooperation.

In order to obtain a huge strategic detour space before the Ming army attacked, Wang Ziyong, Chongguangdao, He Jin, and He Yilong joined forces to capture Xuzhou, Yucheng, Shangqiu and other places one after another, so that the Guide Mansion in Henan and Xuzhou in the territory of Nanzhili were included in their sphere of influence.

It was also with the help of these regions that Wang Ziyong, Chongguang Dao, He Jin, and He Yilong once again launched an attack on Yanzhou Mansion under the jurisdiction of the Political Envoy Department of Shandong Chengxuan!

As the largest government in Shandong, it is also the location of Confucius's hometown, although it is said that after the White Lotus Uprising, Qufu Confucius has been wiped out, but later after the deployment of the Ming Court, Confucius has recovered a little vitality, after all, this is a spiritual gathering place for scholars in the world.

But what no one expected was that the army of Liukou would actually come to Shandong, and what they didn't expect was that it was Yanzhou Mansion that bore the brunt.

In just two months, the rogue forces that were originally entrenched in Fengyang Mansion blossomed in many directions, and for a time Huguang, Nanzhili, Henan, Shandong, and other places in the Ming Dynasty were all impacted!

And unlike the rogue army that was ostensibly unified at the beginning, the rogue army at this time has been completely split into Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Wang Ziyong, Chongguangdao, He Jin, He Yilong, and those leaders who were originally allies have been absorbed by them at this time.

In just three months, the army of rogues has undergone a new life change, which no one probably expected!
