At the same time, outside the city of Guangfu, he was in a castle warehouse by the sea.

"I want to recruit peace again, haven't you forgotten that the head of the false thief is dead or alive, and he has already folded in several batches of people for this purpose, and it has also involved many loyal people who are secretly running for the court."

After being lurking for a long time, Wang Huan, who had been turned black and red by the dampness and heat of the sun outside the mountains, immediately exclaimed.

"It's not a strong man's difficulty, and it's in vain. How could Zheng Xianggong sit back and watch this happen. ”

"This is exactly what Zheng Xianggong and Cui Yuanjun mean; Besides, it was not the false thief who led the troops to surrender this time, but the thieves he left in Guangfu. ”

The person who came explained disapprovingly.

"Among them, the king and the thief are naturally the first strategy. As long as you can provide convenience, someone will naturally contact it first. ”

If that were the case, it would not be unthinkable; In my early years, I was secretly lying here on the orders of the prime minister, and I didn't dare to say anything else; However, he made several businesses, and he was able to make friends with several thieves. ”

Wang Huan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"They are all people who are keen on fame and profit, and they are also dissatisfied with the rules and restraints set by the false thief. If you pretend to pass a few words on your behalf, it's still not a big problem to make an appointment with a reason to meet. ”

"But the king and the thief are different, this guy has been living in a well-guarded courtyard for a long time, and not only has he not shown up, but he is not welcome or sent off; Even if you know where it is, it's the door of progression. ”

Then Wang Huan frowned again and said.

"If that's the case, then you might as well take a few steps back, and start with the people around you who have the opportunity to meet the other generation, and even the corresponding related people."

The visitor continued to explain.

"This time, the ministers can be said to be very determined and determined, not only have prepared the corresponding size of the body to ensure that everyone has a share, and even the edict with all the seals can be taken out at any time. Wang Lang put his heart back into his stomach. Even if you can't make all the Taiping thieves wake up, you have to make their internal chaos up. ”

。。。。。。。。。

In the territory of Chuzhou in Huainan, there is a town more than 20 miles southwest of Shanyang, the state city. The majestic Taiping army finally stopped here for a while, and ushered in the messenger of the Great General's Mansion who arrived quickly in the starry night, and his related disposal opinions.

"So, in fact, the one who attacked my special contingent was Liu Hanhong's men and horses from Suzhou, and those local soldiers were just accomplices who were ordered to lead the way?"

Zhou Huai'an asked rhetorically, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It is actually Liu Hanhong, who is known as the most active-stirring stick in the late Tang Dynasty, and is also a slave with five surnames who has milk and is a mother, and a grass-like guy on the wall.

You must know that he was originally a Yanzhou man, a scoundrel when he was young, and later a Yanzhou official; At the time of the Taining Jiedu envoy, he followed the general to crusade against Wang Xianzhi, the leader of the peasant rebel army; As a result, Liu Hanhong was always ambitious, hijacked the army on the way, rebelled, defected to the rebel army, and became the leader of the road.

Later, Wang Xianzhi died in Huangmei, and he surrendered to Cui Kai, the general of Zeng Yuanyu, who was the commander of the camp at that time, and was appointed as the envoy of Huangzhou Town.

However, after Huang Chao's army left Lingnan, he was summoned by Wang Duo, who was then the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu, to assist in the defense of Jiangling; As a result, he gave full play to the true character of "Liu Ranran" on the way, and took the opportunity to rob all the way.

When Wang Duo abandoned Jiangling and fled, he also took the opportunity to fall into the grass again, taking the robbery and coercion of people and goods, and since then he has "roared Jianghuai"; Freedom lies in the gap between the official army and the righteous army.

After Huangchao's rebel army swept through more than 20 prefectures in Jingnan, Jiangxi, and Jiangdong, he seized the opportunity to take the initiative to ask the imperial court for money, and was able to transfer to the position of Suzhou Assassin and obtain the first independent territory through the advance of Gao Biao, the envoy of Huainan Jiedu.

。。。。。。。。

If he continues to develop according to the normal historical trajectory, he will gradually grow bigger in the cracks of many forces; In the end, he was appointed by the last imperial court, which was unable to control the southeast, as the envoy of the Yisheng Army to control the Xuanshu area, and since then he has completed the final transformation from a thief to a feudal town.

Later, he also competed with Qian Gumei for the dominance of the two Zhejiang, and with the huge advantage of the people of the seven states, he was defeated by the opponent's defensive counterattack in most of Hangzhou's territory, and finally died in defeat, which became a stepping stone for the foundation of the Wu Yue regime.

In the words of a certain historian in later generations, it is one of the most stinky fish and rotten shrimp that can jump in the big rotten quagmire of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, before many dragons have yet to emerge. But how could he have anything to do with the other contingents?

And according to the information that the Taiping Army has now. When the army to which Huang Chao belonged crossed the river and swept Huainan, and Huainan Jiedu made Gao Biao only trapped in Yangzhou City; Obviously, this one has once again moved the repeated thoughts of another camp.

Even last month, on the grounds that the imperial court was mean and unkind, he secretly sent someone to contact the Great General's Mansion of Huangchao. He expressed his willingness to be the guide and guide for the future rebel army's attack on Huaishang. Therefore, he was recently appointed by the General's Office as the commander of the left second wing, and also the guard of Huaishang Town; It can be regarded as changing banners and falling into the camp of the rebels.

Because Suzhou, where he is located, is the barrier of Xuzhou, which is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the opposite bank is the boundary between Haozhou and Chuzhou, he was assigned to the nearest subordinate of Shang Rang, the deputy commander of the rebel army, who was responsible for the northern offensive; In order to act in response to the nearest one.

Therefore, as a corresponding sign, he was not only sending troops to attack and plunder Shenzhou, Gwangju, Caizhou and other places in Henan Province at this time; He even sent a group of men to cross the Huaishui to obey Shang Rang's command.

This is the maximum source of information and background information that the General's Mansion can provide in order to calm his anger and impulsive behavior.

However, the sphere of influence and territory developed by the Taiping army were mainly outside the mountains, while Liu Hanhong's scope of activity has always been between the Jianghuai and the Yangtze River. It can be said that there is basically no possibility of intersection between the two parties, and naturally there is no opportunity for unintentional enmity and evil.

Why did the men and horses sent by the other party leave aside the many rebel troops of the Huai generation and suddenly set out to attack the Taiping army's special contingent. You must know that the contingent itself, which was dedicated to assisting in the siege, did not carry anything of great value except for some bulky equipment and transport carts and horses.

As for the personnel and materials obtained in accordance with the agreement in each battle, there is a special team to transport them, and they will not stay overnight; The same is true after the defeat of Xuyi City. Could it be that the other party is coming for these craftsmen and technicians who can build equipment?

Zhou Huai'an was secretly thinking about it, when he heard a voice in front of him again.

"Mr. Shang is willing to swear to the heavens, he definitely doesn't know the inside story of this matter. And I am willing to do everything I can to bridge and remedy this misunderstanding. All the damage of the bereavement although proposed, the manager should be doubled the compensation. ”

Accompanied by Liu Tang, who was full of dust and fatigue, Zuo Sima Chengzhong, the chief manager who came together, was quite sincere and groveling.

"How can this be reasonable, my Taiping army is all willing to live for the people, how can I covet some wealth and profit? Are you humiliating our soldiers? Blood debts must be paid in blood. ”

At this time, Zhou Huai'an couldn't deny it, but it was Zhu Cun who rushed to scold.

"Deputy Jun Zhu don't misunderstand, this is just a little sincerity of the general manager's chat, but all the relevant people involved in the matter will naturally not be easily spared, and the general way is to make your subordinates satisfied. It's just that it still takes some time to sort out and check the internal relationships. ”

Zuo Sima Chengzhong still eagerly opened his voice to discern the way; Then, he gritted his teeth and continued his pleading.

"You can ask the position of the Great General's Mansion to guarantee and witness, and I just ask your ministry not to act rashly and cause controversy in vain."

"That's not enough. I want more sincerity and performance. Of course, you don't have to bother you anymore to continue to investigate, as long as Mr. Shang can open the door of convenience and don't cover up for personal gain. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Huai'an, who had been expressionless, finally spoke.

"Leader, leader, how is this taught."

Zuo Sima Chengzhong couldn't help but show a faint and invisible panic on his face.

"My people have found out that many of the Shengguang army that defeated Xuyi City were involved. At least the whereabouts leaked during the transfer of the detachment and the ambush on the route have nothing to do with it. ”

Zhou Huai'an glanced at him meaningfully before he said slowly.

"In addition, among the captives, many people claimed to have seen visitors in the name of the General's Palace; Although I don't know the reason, how can I trust you. So, then you can get out of the way. Next, just wait for the news from Xuyi City. ”

"This... Why is this so? ”

Suddenly, Zuo Sima Chengzhong's expression collapsed suddenly, and became extremely complicated and dim. The arsenal present made Liu Tang's expression not so good-looking, but he only sighed a few times without saying anything more.

"Do you really want to be a monk... Do you turn your face over there?。。 Xuyi City has already done it? ”

After they all retreated, Zhu Cun, who was filled with righteous indignation, spoke again.

"It's just a half-truth. Test the other party's bottom line and attitude, and by the way, it's just a matter of scaring the snake. ”

Zhou Huai'an sneered.

"However, there are suspicions that there are people in Xuyi City and the military government involved, but it actually exists. The only thing that is certain is that it has been forced to this point.,Shang Rang doesn't have much to do with it.。。 ”

At this time, another Yu Hou sent in a message, which made Zhou Huai'an see that his face moved slightly before he said to Zhu Cun.

"I see, I said why he was so anxious for me to seek and ask for money. But there was an accident in Shanyang City; ”

Zhu Cun also took over before he exclaimed:

"There was a group of men and horses who were besieging the city and suddenly abandoned the camp overnight! As a result, the nearby friendly troops couldn't react in time.,It was attacked and killed by the officers and soldiers who took advantage of the weakness in the city.、Several camps were burned.,Even the built equipment was lost most of it.。。 ”
