Zuo Liangyu was a little upset, this Xingtianjun seemed to be born to be his nemesis, every time they were on them, they couldn't get any benefits, and finally took down Nanyang Mansion, I thought that this time I had made a great contribution, but I didn't expect to be blocked by the Xingtianjun in Nanzhao to make it difficult for him to move an inch, and after a few battles, he had to lose Nanyang, and once again led his troops to flee back to the Jingxiang area.

But I didn't think that first the Xingtian Army followed south, straight to Xiangyang, and then Zhang Xianzhong resurrected in Gucheng, and now Yang Sichang Yang Ge personally left Beijing to go south, and ordered him to quickly rescue Xiangyang in advance, so as to stop the Xingtian Army outside Xiangyang City, and not lose Xiangyang, but thinking about the fierceness of the Xingtian Army, Zuo Liangyu was worried in his heart, and fought with the Xingtian Army, he had no chance of winning, speaking of which, he now gathered a lot of soldiers and horses, but when he met the Xingtian Army, he was not an opponent at all.

So after Zuo Liangyu thought about it again, he finally came up with an idea, that is, let the Xingtian Army let them go, he just had to lead the troops to deal with Zhang Xianzhong first, although Zhang Xianzhong was not easy to deal with, at least he still had the strength to compete with Zhang Xianzhong, and he was not afraid of him.

So after he received the order, he immediately prepared his troops and horses and began to march towards Baokang, and Zhang Xianzhong's main force is now mainly stationed in the Baokang area, and because this is a mountainous area, Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers are not good at food, so he has to divide his troops to collect food everywhere, so he still has some confidence in dealing with Zhang Xianzhong.

Just when Xiao Tianjian led the troops to Fancheng on the Han River, Zuo Liangyu had also led his troops to Baokang County, and then ran into a group of men and horses under Zhang Xianzhong in the area of Xiema Town.

Like Zuo Liangyu, Zhang Xianzhong is also very unhappy now, a dragon under his command robbed the food of the Xingtian Army in Nanzhang County, and killed the subordinates of the Xingtian Army, he was a little troubled about this matter, Luo Rucai sent someone to find him to seek justice, but before he could meet Luo Rucai's subordinates, a dragon first sent someone to beat the people of the Xingtian Army and rushed back to Xiangyang City.

This time Zhang Xianzhong knew that he had offended Xingtianjun to his home, and Xiao Tianjian had sent someone to find him, wanting him to follow Luo Rucai and Gezuo's fifth battalion to join Xiao Tianjian, but most of his military advisors Pan Duao and his generals were against this, they felt that they were not at the end of the mountain at the moment, and they couldn't follow Xingtianjun's face surnamed Xiao, and how good it was for him Zhang Xianzhong to be the king himself, no one could control them, and he didn't have to listen to the rules set by others.

However, his righteous son Zhang Dingguo (Li Dingguo) thinks that Xiao Tianjian is a very righteous person, especially the fact that Xiao Tianjian blatantly led the army north to fight the Tartars a few years ago, which made Li Dingguo very impressed, and Li Dingguo thought that Xiao Tianjian was already super strong, and he had the ability to win the world faintly, especially at present, many of the rebels who rebelled with them back then have either surrendered to the imperial court, or they have taken refuge in the Xingtian Army, and the entire Henan and half of Shanxi have been controlled by the Xingtian Army. Whether it is the number of soldiers and horses or their combat power, the Xingtian Army is extremely strong, for so many years, only they have not been defeated by the official army, but many generals of the imperial court have been planted in the hands of the Xingtian Army, and now his father-in-law Zhang Xianzhong is known to have tens of thousands of soldiers, but everyone knows very well that there are only a few thousand elite soldiers who can fight at most, and they have no chance to confront the Xingtian Army in the future, not to mention that the current court has not yet reached the point where it can be kicked over. The strength of the officers and troops in the Huguang area alone far exceeded them.

Therefore, Li Dingguo thinks that they can fully accept the conditions of the Xingtianjun, and it is not bad to join forces with Xiao Tianjian to conspire with the great cause, but Zhang Xianzhong is a little unhappy about Li Dingguo's opinion, and of course, his other righteous sons, including Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and others, do not agree with Li Dingguo's opinion, only Ai Nengqi said that he agrees with Li Dingguo's opinion.

In the end, Zhang Xianzhong thought that he still had the ability to lay down the world that belonged to him, so he rejected Xiao Tianjian's proposal, and vaguely proposed that Xiao Tianjian should be active in Jiangbei, while he attacked Jiangnan and ruled the river with the Xingtian army.

Sometimes I can't help but say that some people's minds are too big, Zhang Xianzhong is also such a person, he doesn't look at his current strength, why should he sit on an equal footing with Xiao Tianjian and rule the river, only with his strength, although he has laid down Xingshan, Baokang and other places in a short time, but these places are all mountainous areas, there are very few officials and soldiers, and the population is also very scarce, he pulled up thirty or forty thousand horses at once, entrenched in such a small place, the problem of eating alone cannot be solved, and now he wants to row the river and rule with the Xingtianjun in the future, To some extent, it is arrogant to say that it sounds good, and it is arrogant and a little obscene to say that it is ugly.

And it is precisely because he knows that Xiao Tianjian has the idea of annexing them, so many of Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates are quite resistant to the Xingtian Army at the moment, which is also the reason why Yilong clashed with the Xingtian Army when he was collecting food in Nanzhang County.

In this regard, Li Dingguo asked Zhang Xianzhong to punish a dragon, at least beat a dragon, and then send someone to apologize to Luo Rucai, accompany him, and then pay some money to Luo Rucai, so that Luo Rucai and they can get off the stage.

But Zhang Xianzhong is short-sighted, refusing to do this, feeling that this is small his identity, after all, between the various righteous armies, in fact, the conflict between each other is still frequent, there will be friction from time to time, you kill a few of my people, I kill a few of you is a common thing, everyone generally does not care too much, in order to kill more than 20 subordinates of the Heavenly Army, he beat his subordinate generals, Zhang Xianzhong thinks that this will chill the hearts of his subordinates, and no one will follow him loyally in the future, and the other one feels that he can't say anything on the face, as if he is soft to the Xingtian Army, What's more, the people of the Xingtian Army are not vegetarians, as soon as a dragon made a move, they also fought back, and also killed a dozen people under a dragon, and the remaining dozens of people were actually stunned to get out of the encirclement and fled back to the camp of the Xiangyang Xingtian Army, so both sides have losses, and no one is looking for anyone to pull down!

In addition, this time it was Luo Rucai who was temporarily in charge of Xiangyang, and Luo Rucai had a similar relationship with him, and they were all equal before, so Zhang Xianzhong thought that this matter would end up in the end.

But as everyone knows, this matter seems to be a trivial matter, but it offended Xiao Tianjian to the home, Xiao Tianjian is not a person who swallows it after suffering a loss, this time he is kicked to the iron plate.

When he was still a little worried about this matter, he suddenly got the news that Zuo Liangyu led his troops to attack, and his Shuntian King encountered Zuo Liangyu's main force in Xiema Town in the south of Baokang County, and returned with a defeat, losing more than 1,000 soldiers, and Zuo Liangyu was menacing this time, and it seemed that he had the posture to kill him Zhang Xianzhong in one fell swoop.

So Zhang Xianzhong had to temporarily put aside his worries about the Xingtian Army, and instead began to focus on Zuo Liangyu's official army.

With Zhang Xianzhong mobilized troops and horses, Zuo Liangyu also led his troops to attack Baokang County, the two sides immediately launched a tug-of-war in the mountains around Baokang County, for a time to kill the dark world, for a few days down, Zhang Xianzhong found that Zuo Liangyu this time seemed to be pouring his life to destroy him, every time he went into battle, he took his son to personally supervise the battle, although both sides have their own victories and defeats, but obviously Zhang Xianzhong's side because most of the people are newly recruited, the combat effectiveness is not as strong as Zuo Liangyu's side, so the fierce battle reached the beginning of May, Zhang Xianzhong ordered to give up Baokang County, and once again retreated to the area of Fang County.

Zuo Liangyu is also a little more meritorious, just recovered Baokang County, he immediately led his troops to chase Zhang Xianzhong, thinking that Zhang Xianzhong is no longer good, but in the area of Qingfeng Town in Fang County, but was ambushed by Li Dingguo and Ainengqi's troops under Zhang Xianzhong, the result was that Zuo Liangyu's department suffered a big defeat, and was killed by Li Dingguo and Ainengqi nearly 1,000 people, so shocked that Zuo Liangyu had to lead his troops to withdraw to Baokang County, so far temporarily and Zhang Xianzhong formed a confrontation situation in Baokang and Fang County, and no one had anything to do for a while.

But the stalemate between Zhang Xianzhong and Zuo Liangyu was good news for Xiao Tianjian, he sent people to find Zhang Xianzhong to ask for the murderer and seek justice, and at the same time, he began to set out in Fancheng and led his troops to cross the river from the upper reaches of the river, arrived outside Xiangyang City south of the Han River, and completely surrounded Xiangyang City in the middle.

After Xiao Tianjian and the generals re-examined the defense of Xiangyang City, they quickly decided with Li Xin on a plan to attack Xiangyang City.

Attacking Xiangyang City was something that Xiao Tianjian didn't dare to think about before, but for the current Xingtian Army, it was not a big problem, this time Xiao Tianjian went south, mobilized a large number of manpower and animal power, and pulled a large number of heavy artillery from Kaifeng to Xiangyang for thousands of miles, and used a large number of ferries to lift these heavy artillery on the ship, transported it across the Han River, and sent it to Xiangyang City.

With this large number of heavy artillery, Xiao Tianjian did not worry about not being able to defeat Xiangyang, and because of the terrain here, it is impossible to adopt the same tactics as Kaifeng, just such a wide moat can not be recovered, and it is impossible to lead the moat water to other places, so he can only rely on heavy artillery to bombard the city wall, suppress the officers and troops on the city wall, and build a pontoon bridge on the moat to attack, and there is basically no better way to do this.

After inspecting, Xiao Tianjian climbed the mountain in the southwest corner of Xiangyang City and looked down at Xiangyang, the biggest problem in Xiangyang City is this mountain! Standing here, not only can you look down on Xiangyang City, but the distance from Xiangyang City is only less than two miles, which is the distance that the heavy artillery of the Xingtian Army can reach, and even a fully loaded solid cannonball can directly bombard the city.
