Chapter 114: Xuzhou Beacon Smoke

"Hahaha." Cheng Jikong laughed and said, "I've been waiting for Brother Yang's words for a long time. I have long wanted to work for King Chuang, but I have no way, so I asked Brother Yang to introduce me on my behalf. ”

At the level of news transmission in this era, many people know that Li Zicheng ascended the throne in Xiangyang, but it is unknown what the private relationship between Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai is.

Li Zicheng ascended the throne ahead of schedule, both good and bad.

It is so bad that it is naturally an internal problem, and now Li Zicheng's Dashun court, although it seems to be huge, is almost essentially divided, but it also has benefits, one of the advantages is that it has given many reckless people in the rivers and lakes great hope.

But anyone who has some insight knows that this pole, bandit, and robbery party can't last long, and they all want to have a way out, and before this way out, it is Zhao'an. The reason why many rebel generals have been able to defeat the officers and troops many times, and many are willing to surrender in the face of the surrender of the weak officers and soldiers.

Learning to become a literary and martial artist, goods and the emperor's family, this is almost something in the bones of the ancient Chinese people.

However, Li Zicheng became the emperor and officially changed the rebel army from official coercion - civil rebellion to hegemony in the world.

gave the people of the world a second choice.

This choice is nothing in the minds of literati doctors. But for people like Cheng Jikong, who have already embarked on the road of thieves and can't turn back if they want to turn back, it is a great blessing. As soon as he thought of becoming a hero of Conglong, Cheng Jikong had a feeling of enthusiasm.

That's why I tried my best to help Yang Shenzu.

Otherwise, do you really think that the rebels in the world are one family?

"Since Brother Cheng has this intention, there is a great opportunity now." Yang Shenzu smiled slightly, and said: "My family marshal was named the king of the east by His Majesty, the general of the expedition to the east, after the wheat harvest, he will march from Runing to the east, and Zhang Xuan Zhang is not only the commander of the right army of the East Palace, but also the east bed of His Royal Highness the East King." At this moment, in order to return to the Yuan Shizhong of the small Yuan camp, trapped in Xiayi, as long as Brother Cheng is willing to lead the troops south and rescue Commander Zhang, I dare to assure Brother Cheng that Brother Cheng will protect the future of the Jie Du envoy. ”

"Temperance." These three words made Cheng Jikong can't help but think about it.

But he immediately calmed down and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Yang, it's not that I don't want to, but I can't, I wanted to join forces with Brother Yang and destroy Jin Shenghuan, but I didn't want Xu Huaidao Senator He Tengjiao to gather the Ding family brothers at this moment, as well as thousands of officers and soldiers, to encircle and suppress me on the orders of Lu Zhenfei, the governor of Caoyun." I really can't leave. ”

"Since the rebels in the world are one family." Yang Shenzu laughed and said: "Brother Cheng's matter is my business, with the ability of Commander Zhang to use soldiers, I can still hold on to it in a month." We only need one month to end the war in Xuzhou and lead the troops south. ”

"Okay." Cheng Jikong said loudly: "Listen to Brother Yang." ”

That's all I have to say

on, Cheng Jikong also felt that it would be bad to postpone it any longer.

The two hit it off, and they figured out how to deal with He Tengjiao and his men. Zhang Xuan never expected that he would release Yang Shenzu and actually open up a sub-battlefield for him in Xuzhou.

Not to mention, the Xuzhou battlefield opened up by Yang Shenzu and Cheng Jikong only said that Xiayi was under the city.

After Ma Shiying decided to armistice.

Huang Degong was not reconciled, and attacked several times with his headquarters, but this kind of attack could never be compared with the previous all-out attack. was easily blocked by Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan has not been idle for a while.

The original space of Xizhai is not very large, and it can accommodate 10,000 people. In order to defend against the attack of the official army, Zhang Xuan had to build a large number of fortifications in the camp. It can be said that a considerable amount of space from the walled wall to Zhang Xuan has been built into fortifications.

As a result, there is not enough space in the camp.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan took advantage of the night to send all the wounded soldiers into Xiayi City.

The night was dark.

Zhang Xuan faced a map and pondered secretly.

This map was hand-drawn by Zhang Xuan, if it is placed in later generations, it must not be called a map, it is just a simple schematic diagram, but not many people can draw it in this era. This map is not north of Beijing, south of Nanjing, west of Xi'an, but Xiangyang, Henan province, and the area north of the Yangtze River in the south are all marked, and the information he got before is marked one by one, where there are many officers and soldiers, and who the leading generals are, all of which are marked in small pencil print.

In fact, Zhang Xuan also knew that he made this map, and the information in it was inaccurate.

Under the chaos of war, it was extremely difficult to exchange information, and when a lot of news reached Zhang Xuan's ears, it was already outdated, and even a lot of the news itself was false.

But these news are the only news that Zhang Xuan can get. How could Zhang Xuan not pay attention to it.

Drawing a map and contemplating the map is a habit that Zhang Xuan developed when he came to this era.

"Third brother." Yuan Shizhong pushed the door in.

Zhang Xuan woke up from his contemplation, raised his head, and said, "Big brother, why are you here?" ”

Yuan Shizhong saw Zhang Xuan's table, this map, seeing that the ink was not completely dry, he knew in his heart that this must be a new painting, and when he looked closely, he secretly admired it in his heart, and said secretly: "My third brother has his own hills and ravines in his chest. ”

I paid more attention to Zhang Xuan.

The ancient map was a heavy weapon of the military state, and the idlers couldn't even see it, but Zhang Xuan was familiar with the map to such an extent, and he could easily draw out the form map of the Central Plains, so that Yuan Shizhong could not admire it.

"I thought you wouldn't be able to hold your breath." Yuan Shizhong said: "Look

If you do this, I will be relieved. ”

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, of course he wouldn't say that he was restless and irritable for a while, and he was only settled down at this moment.

Isolated from internal and external messages. was restrained by Huang Degong here, he couldn't move, life and death depended on whether Luo Rucai saved him or not, and the lives of himself and even the soldiers under his command were entrusted to others, this feeling of hanging in the hands of others made Zhang Xuan feel very uncomfortable.

He thought of many ways, sneak attack, kick the camp, and so on.

But the more they thought about it, the more they understood that sticking to it was their best choice. It's just that if they stick to it, the food will not last long, and when the food runs out, they will defeat themselves without a fight.

When you succeed or fail, it has nothing to do with your efforts. When you have more than 10,000 lives on your shoulders, and you can't do anything. This pressure almost made Zhang Xuan collapse.

But Zhang Xuan understands one thing more and more, and being under pressure is one of the necessary qualities.

He can only calm down when he looks at the map and thinks about the war.

"It's useless to think about anything, it's better not to think about it." Zhang Xuan said: "The eldest brother has been in and out of Fengyang Mansion several times, can you explain some of the topography of Fengyang Mansion?" ”

Yuan Shizhong chuckled and said, "Is there anything you can't do?" ”

Immediately, Yuan Shizhong explained in detail some of the terrain of Fengyang Mansion, and had a very happy conversation with Zhang Xuan, and for a while he felt that he didn't look like the two generals trapped in the siege at all, but the two of them were idle in Kanda Mountain.

After a long time, Yuan Shizhong couldn't hold his breath anymore and said, "Third brother, do you really have no idea about the current situation?" ”

"A little." Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Brother, you say, how about we build two city walls between Xizhai and Xiayi City?" ”

"Is this any use?" Yuan Shizhong pondered for a while and said.

The distance between Xiayi and Xizhai is very close, even if the official army is stupid, they will not rashly attack here, and then build a city wall here, which is a bit of a snake to add to the snake.

"Fence off the land and grow vegetables." Zhang Xuan said.

"Growing vegetables?" Yuan Shizhong was taken aback and said.

"Let the soldiers be idle, for a long time, I'm afraid there will be problems, so I just let them eat a variety of dishes as a supplement." Zhang Xuan said.

has been besieged for a long time, which is not only a great pressure on the generals, but also on the subordinates. If the emotions are not relieved for a long time, then things like mutiny and camp howling may happen in Zhang Xuan's camp.

The reason for growing vegetables is also Zhang Xuan's worries about food.

When will Luo Rucai come over, Zhang Xuan has no bottom in his heart, so he can only find a way to hold on for a while, it's a while. After all, the key to the matter is not Zhang Xuan's side, but on Runing's side and Luo Rucai's side.
