Although Gao Junshan did not promise Huying to surrender to the imperial court, he also did not promise Zhang Xianzhong to attack Zaoyang, because now Zaoyang is guarded by Yang Qi, the chief soldier, and he has a friendly agreement with Yang Qi, and the two armies will not kill each other.

Yang Qi agreed that Gao Junshan's 21,000 men would be stationed in Lutoudian, and he would not send troops to attack and disturb, and at the same time, he asked Gao Junshan to seriously think about the surrender of the imperial court.

Gao Junshan had been in Lutoudian for three days, and at noon that day, Liu Hongru couldn't help but come to Gao Junshan.

"King Qin, what do you want?" As soon as Liu Hongru saw Gao Junshan, he asked, "We can't stand still in this ghost place, you have to make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Gao Junshan asked, "Wenxuan, what do you think?" ”

Liu Hongru said: "We have promised Zhang Xianzhong to attack Zaoyang to contain the official army, now we can't do it, and we can't stay here and do nothing, at least we should help Zhang Xianzhong fight Zuo Liangyu." ”

Gao Junshan nodded and said, "What Wen Xuan said is extremely true. I decided to set up camp today and go to join Zhang Xianzhong. ”

On 16 August, as soon as Gao Junshan's team passed through the water, they received news that Zhang Xianzhong was attacking Xinye.

Gao Junshan called Zhou Shichen to him: "Yunhou (Zhou Shichen), I will make you the vanguard, you take your battalion to sweep several villages in the southeast of Xinye, and my army will arrive later." ”

Zhou Shichen said: "Obey!" ”

Zhou Shichen was Gao Junshan's proud disciple in military circles, a disciple of Chongwen, who had received guidance from advanced military theories, and was the backbone of Gao Junshan's efforts to build a new-type army.

After Gao Junshan sent this new force, he called Cao Wenzhao to his side, and he left two battalions of men and horses for Cao Wenzhao, and ordered him to stand by and wait for the opportunity to fight.

Cao Wenzhao knew that this was the greatest trust in him, especially the command of "waiting for the opportunity to fight", the degree of freedom was very large, and this was the rhythm of Cao Wenzhao to support the situation.

Cao Wenzhao's second brigade had five battalions of 18,000 men, of which four were cavalry, and Gao Junshan left two cavalry battalions for Cao Wenzhao to ensure Cao Wenzhao's mobility.

The next day, Gao Junshan led Bai Wenxuan, Sun Kewang, Li Hu and other generals to the outside of Xinye City. Zhang Xianzhong was very happy when he heard that Gao Junshan was coming, and he sent Li Dingguo to Gao Junshan's camp to pick him up in front of the tent.

Zhang Xianzhong's army of more than 100,000 troops camped for 30 miles outside Xinye City, waving flags. The drums of war shook the sky. In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Xianzhong sat in the center, his cronies and loved generals stood on both sides, and the military advisor Xu Yixian sat next to him.

"Report ——, King Qin has arrived!" The soldiers spread the news outside the tent.

Zhang Xianzhong stood up and said, "Hurry up and invite him in!" ”

Gao Junshan was dressed in armor, pedaled a pair of super-era combat boots, stepped into Zhang Xianzhong's military tent with his head up, followed by Sun Kewang, who was known as "a wall".

He glanced at it and saw that Zhang Xianzhong's generals Ma Yuanli, Zhang Hualong, Wang Shangli, Ai Nengqi, Wang Ziqi, and Dou Mingwang were all there, and nodded to these generals with a smile, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Brother Junshan, let's meet again!" Zhang Xianzhong happily came up to greet Gao Junshan.

Gao Junshan bowed his hand to Zhang Xianzhong and said: "Eight kings, your plate is getting bigger and bigger, I see that your camp is black and pressed for dozens of miles, so it's not majestic!" ”

Zhang Xianzhong smiled politely at Gao Junshan: "Brother Junshan said that you are laughing, how can I have your majesty?" I heard that your men and horses can't fit in the entire Tongbai Mountain, and the officials and soldiers don't dare to suppress you, so they will leave when they pee under the Tongbai Mountain. ”

Gao Junshan smiled: "I can't hide anything from your eight kings!" But how can I be so majestic, these are just the songs of country children. I heard that the Eight Kings are going to fight Nanyang, and they are going to fight Zuo Liangyu. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "His grandmother's! A while ago, I suffered a lot of losses from Zuo Liangyu. Now, I am strong again, and I want to clean up this Zuo Liangyu fiercely. ”

Gao Junshan reminded: "Zuo Liangyu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the eight kings need more eyes to fight him. ”

Zhang Xianzhong didn't care: "With your Junshan brother to help, I'm still afraid of his dick!" This time I hit Zuo Liangyu, that's a few in the crotch, and I'm sure I'll get it nine times out of ten. ”

Gao Junshan was not as rude as Zhang Xianzhong, and said with a smile: "Eight kings, you still have to fight the battle in front of you first!" What do you want to do when you invite me this time? ”

Zhang Xianzhong took Gao Junshan's hand: "Cough! Brother Junshan, I did my best to talk to you, but I neglected you, please take a seat! ”

Zhang Xianzhong's personal soldiers brought a chair, Zhang Xianzhong returned to his throne, Gao Junshan sat down unceremoniously, and Sun Kewang stood behind him.

After Zhang Xianzhong sat down, he turned sideways to Xu Yixian, the military advisor, and said: "Old Xu, how to fight this battle, you tell everyone!" ”

Xu Yixian straightened his body, picked up a token and said slowly: "There is no need to bother King Qin to take Xinye this time, I have sent more than 100 people to mix into the city, just wait for the third watch tonight, raise the fire as the number, and Ma Yuanli obeys the order!" ”

Ma Yuanli took a step forward: "The end will be here." ”

"Your men and horses attack the southern gates!"

"The last general obeys!" Ma Yuanli stepped forward to take the token.

"Zhang Hualong listens to orders!" Xu Yixian took out another token.

Zhang Hualong also took a step forward and said, "The end will be here." ”

"Let your men attack the north gate!"

Zhang Hualong also took a token: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Xu Yixian took out another token and said, "This road is the most critical, and two people must be sent to complete it." Ai Nengqi and Dou Fame obey orders! ”

Ai Nengqi and Dou Mingming both stood up and said in unison: "The last general will listen to the order." ”

Xu Yixian raised the token and said: "Let the two of you, each lead five hundred strong, dress up as an official and soldier, at the second watch, lie under the east city wall, and when the third watch is over, the city gate will be opened, at that time, you will enter the city, control the north and south city gates, and welcome the army into the city." ”

Ainengchi took the token and said, "The last general will obey!" ”

Dou Mingwang also said: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

"Good!" Xu Yixian turned to Zhang Xianzhong, "Please give orders!" ”

Zhang Xianzhong stood up and said: "Everyone go back and prepare, set off tomorrow, I will set up a banquet in Xinye and wait for you!" ”

After the generals withdrew, Gao Junshan said to Zhang Xianzhong: "It seems that the eight kings are full of confidence!" ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Brother Junshan, why don't you spend one night in my camp tonight?" ”

Gao Junshan refused: "Don't disturb the eight kings, the military affairs are in place, and I will leave first." ”

Zhang Xianzhong nodded and said, "I won't keep you, remember that I will definitely come to the banquet tomorrow." ”

"Definitely, definitely." After Gao Junshan finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.

……

Nanyang Mansion Zuo Liangyu camp.

Zuo Liangyu heard that Zhang Xianzhong was preparing to attack Xinye, he laughed, and said to Chen Hongfan, the chief soldier of Shanxi who had just come from Shanxi: "Brother Chen, your 50,000 army is too timely, Xinye is a bait for Zhang Thief, he will definitely come to attack me Nanyang if he gets Xinye, we will join forces to give Zhang Thief a pocket, and when the time comes, the credit for capturing Zhang Thief will also be your share Brother Chen." ”
