Chapter 45: A New Plan

Zhang Xuan thought about it, and also felt that a sentry horse team had nearly 1,000 riders at most, and more than 100 riders. Cao Cao's root is the thousands of horses, and the control over them is extremely tight, if anyone wants to defect, he will defect, and his nickname Luo Rucai is not Cao Cao.

However, as a modern person, Zhang Xuan has distinctive characteristics, that is, he thinks more and does less. He immediately told Cao Zongyu about his new plan.

"If you want to escape to Jiangnan, you must first have someone around you, what is better than the township party, this time when you call people, gather a group of people in your name, so that when we act in the future, there will be more than 100 elite soldiers to protect ourselves, and the road from Henan to Jiangnan will be much easier." Zhang Xuan said.

"If there are enough people, maybe you can ask the officials and soldiers for a reward." Cao Zongyu's mind moved instantly. He thinks a little better than Zhang Xuan, this is the instinct of his official eunuchs. It's just that he knows that Zhang Xuan has never thought of surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, because in his opinion, the Ming Dynasty has rotted to the roots. If he wants to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, it is better to take refuge in Li Zicheng.

The future differences between the two sides are planted first.

"But you want me to help you recruit people, how can you do these things? As soon as these things are done, my people will be lost, how can I recruit people? Cao Zongyu said.

Zhang Xuan said: "If it is those hungry people, I don't need you to go out at all, I can find a large number of people casually, but what I want to find is people who can read and write, people with roots, some hungry people are too difficult to train into elite soldiers, and these hungry people are also unreliable, maybe you and I will be sold on the way, you must know the roots." And by doing so, we are not necessarily saving them. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Cao Zongyu said.

"You have been in the army for a long time, and you have been like a comb, and you have been like a soldier. You won't have heard this, and who is following us now, Zuo Liangyu, Zuo Liangyu has just turned from Nanyang to Hanzhong, and it is estimated that he has returned to the army at this moment, how is Zuo Liangyu's reputation, you haven't heard it. When Zuo Liangyu recovers Nanyang City, what will Nanyang City look like? In this case, how can it be said that it is not to save them? Zhang Xuan said.

"Zuo Liangyu," as soon as these three words were said, Cao Zongyu was speechless.

Wherever Zuo Liangyu passed, there was almost no grass, and they had more damage to the place than Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Luo Rucai, they only robbed some rich people, and they also had a reputation for robbing the rich and helping the poor. Don't dare to stay in the place for a long time. But Zuo Liangyu every time he goes to a rich place, he doesn't go, he has to grab one to get enough capital, many places, as soon as he sees Zuo Liangyu coming, he immediately sends someone to send silver, just ask Zuo Liangyu to leave quickly.

This method was okay just now, and Zuo Liangyu still accepted it, but now this method is not good. Zuo Liangyu "recovered" a city, and he had to scrape this city upside down. He didn't even want to sell the peace money, because he had to take it himself.

If Zuo Liangyu followed behind the Liukou and coerced them to leave now, it might not be good for them.

"Okay." Cao Zongyu thought for a while, but nodded slowly.

Nanyang City is more than ten miles away.

A large camp is encamped here, this is Zhang Xianzhong's base camp.

A group of people surrounded one place, but saw Zhang Xianzhong with his bare upper body, holding a long knife, fighting with Sun Kewang, Sun Kewang was also naked, holding a long knife, and the two fought together.

Suddenly, Zhang Xianzhong flew up with a kick and kicked the long knife in Sun Kewang's hand. He said, "Hopefully, your skills still need to be practiced again." ”

"Child, naturally he can't compare to his father-in-law." Sun Kewang said.

A literati came to Zhang Xianzhong's side and whispered a few words, Zhang Xianzhong's face was on the side, and he waved his hand and said, "Let's go." He dragged the scribe out of here and went to the tent.

"Cao Cao captured Nanyang?" Zhang Xianzhong is a little incredible. Zhang Xianzhong is good at using meticulous work, which is famous.

In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Yang Sichang had just come to Sichuan to encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong, so he issued an edict: "But the thief will not be pardoned, and the person who is captured will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, and the marquis." But the next day, where Yang Sichang lived, it was written, "Those who behead Yang Sichang will be rewarded with three silver coins." ”

This paragraph has been imitated by future generations. But it was from Zhang Xianzhong.

And the person in charge of Zhang Xianzhong's intelligence is Wang Bingzhen, the person in front of him.

Wang Bingzhen is not inconspicuous at all by Zhang Xianzhong's side, and he has no fame, Zhang Xianzhong's old team, Wang Bingzhen is Zhang Xianzhong's eyes. With Wang Bingzhen here, whether it is the enemy army or the changes of friendly troops, Zhang Xianzhong cannot be hidden.

Zhang Xianzhong originally wanted to fight Nanyang, but because of Wang Bingzhen's evaluation of Yan Riyu, a simple faction should not be able to defeat Nanyang. And Zuo Liangyu's army is about to return to the division. The rebels couldn't stay too long under Nanyang City.

Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong gave up spending more energy in Nanyang, with that kung fu, it is better to fight other prefectures and counties, not all prefects are as shrewd and strong as Yan Riyu.

Wang Bingzhen said: "I miscalculated the plate. Underestimated Cao Cao. ”

"Don't talk about this, tell me, how Cao Cao defeated Nanyang City." Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand and said. It's a foregone conclusion, and there's no point in blaming. Zhang Xianzhong asked directly about the process.

Wang Bingzhen roughly explained what Zhang Xuan did, but there were some vague and unclear points, for example, they did not know Cao Zongyu's identity. Only when Zhang Xuan was in control of his subordinates, he counterattacked.

"It's a waste to send such a talent to do fine work." Zhang Xianzhong said: "If you are in our army, you will definitely be accepted as a righteous son." ”

"Palm the plate, you have seen Zhang Xuan, the Lang Zhong who took action to heal Luo Yulong." Wang Bingzhen said.

Zhang Xianzhong thought about it slightly, matched Zhang Xuan's name with the impression in his mind, and said, "In this way, I am more interested in this person." ”

Wang Bingzhen said: "Palm plate, now is not the time to talk about this, Cao Cao left us to attack Nanyang at this time, the taste of this, the palm plate has not been tasted." ”

Zhang Xianzhong's yellow face suddenly became gloomy, his eyes were slender, and there was a hint of gloom in his gaze.

Anyone who can stand at the top of the times is a smart person. Zhang Xianzhong is, and so is Luo Rucai.

Why did Luo Rucai do this, didn't he just feel the pressure of Zhang Xianzhong's fame? Although Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai ride side by side, sit side by side, and join forces with each other, it seems that there is no superiority or inferiority.

But in terms of fame, Zhang Xianzhong is far above Luo Rucai, after all, Zhang Xianzhong is the only giant thief who Emperor Chongzhen refuses to pardon, even if Li Zicheng is far from Zhang Xianzhong's opponent in terms of fame before breaking Luoyang.

Between Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, is it really as close as brothers, intimate? Zhang Xianzhong really didn't think about it and Luo Rucai, swallowed Luo Rucai in one gulp, how Zhang Xianzhong didn't think about it, but Luo Rucai seemed to trust Zhang Xianzhong very much, but he always took precautions. Don't give Zhang Xianzhong a chance.

Cao Cao's nickname is actually for nothing, Zhang Xianzhong broke Xiangyang and killed King Xiang. His prestige in the army soared for a while, Zhang Xianzhong inadvertently showed a hint of pride, and Luo Rucai quickly captured it, so he had the move to attack Nanyang alone.

"Palm the plate, what we have to do now is to reconcile with Cao Cao, not to stimulate Cao Cao, Cao Cao's thousands of horses, the elite is not under the old camp. And we have now thrown off the official army brigade, without the suppression of the official army, Cao Cao can very well part ways with me, but in this way, our army's combat strength will be greatly lost, and I have heard a news that I don't know whether it is true or false. Wang Bingzhen said.

"What's the news?" Zhang Xianzhong immediately asked, I don't know what is true or false, Zhang Xianzhong is too familiar with Wang Bingzhen's speaking style. I don't know if it's true or not, but it's eighty percent true.

Li Zicheng broke through Luoyang in the first month, killed King Fu, and boiled King Fu and venison in the name of Fulu Drinking Party. Li Zicheng occupied the treasury of the Fu Domain, opened a warehouse to release grain, and the hungry people gathered there, known as a million people. Wang Bingzhen said.

"Ge Laozi." Zhang Xianzhong scolded: "Let Li Chuang'er take the lead, immediately pull out the camp, go to Nanyang now, I want to celebrate Brother Cao, the flag is victorious." ”

Zhang Xianzhong secretly regretted that he didn't use more tricks when he killed King Xiang, but thinking about it, Xiang Fan couldn't compare to Fu Fan's no matter what, so he could only sigh.
