After Zuo Liangyu learned that the thief army had captured Qixian, he did not level the city again, but led his troops to stop running and stationed in the area of Qixian, so he led his subordinates to drive in the direction of Qixian, this time he not only brought 20,000 soldiers and horses that he gathered from the Huguang area, but also gathered some officers and soldiers around the vicinity, and the strength expanded to more than 40,000 people, known as 100,000 soldiers, and killed in the direction of Qixian, wanting to divide a high and low between Qixian and Xiao Tianjian.

Now, the entire Kaifeng area can be said to be covered with war clouds, if you look at it from a high altitude, you can clearly see that a group of people and horses like ants gathered from the surrounding area to the surrounding area of Qixian County, and gradually converged into two camps, the continuous camp along the west of Qixian County Gaoyang Town began to unfold several miles apart, a team of scouts on both sides also before the main force contacted, began to fight on the battlefield with all their might, trying to block the battlefield and detect the other party's military situation, For this reason, there are constantly small-scale battles raging everywhere.

On the morning of the eighth day of the first month of April, the soldiers and horses on both sides were basically in place, and the scouts on both sides had basically finished their exploration of the enemy army, and the two armies suddenly began to calm down, but the atmosphere before the war made the air seem to be solidified, and it weighed heavily on the hearts of everyone in the two armies.

Zuo Liangyu put his hand on the pergola and looked towards the east of the camp, and could only vaguely see the scarlet Xingtian banners fluttering in the wind on the camp of the thief army, but he was very uneasy in his heart, to be honest, he was not sure whether this battle could win this thief army, although he had already learned through the horse that the strength of the thief army was only about half of him at most, or even not enough, but he knew very well what the strength of these generals under his command was.

You must know that this thief army is the most ferocious thief army today, and it is not at the same level as the thief army Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guineng, Li Zicheng and other thieves he fought against at the beginning, and I don't know how many officers and soldiers have been defeated under this thief army.

And the generals who followed him were also a little nervous, a posture like a great enemy, for more than a month, they were chasing this thief army everywhere in Henan, but this group of thieves was going around with them in Henan, dragging them around, accidentally turned around and bit them fiercely, especially their cavalry, which was even more ferocious, and it was very fierce, as long as they were alone, there was almost no benefit, and it was not destroyed by them. It was all over the body that was bitten by them, so during this time, even when they went out to loot, they had to be wrapped together, and they didn't dare to go too far from the army.

And today is going to face off with the other party, everyone is a little nervous about this, and they all looked at their main general Zuo Liangyu, and now Zuo Liangyu is only forty years old, he looks tall and big, has a red face, rides a tall horse, and looks majestic in heavy armor, and has the demeanor of a general, which makes them feel a little relieved.

After seeing the situation of the thief camp, Zuo Liangyu ordered Liu Guoneng to lead his troops to battle first to explore the truth of this thief army.

And Liu Guoneng is not a bystander, it is the collapse of Xiong Wencan who surrendered last year, since he was cared for, Xiong Wencan asked the imperial court, gave Liu Guoneng the position of garrison, and made him subordinate to Zuo Liangyu to obey orders, and now this time Liu Guoneng also came to Qixian County with Zuo Liangyu, as a general, Zuo Liangyu used him to fight for a while, he naturally couldn't disagree.

So Liu Guoneng agreed hard, returned to the camp and gave an order, and then took the thousands of men and horses under his command to kill out of the camp, only to rush towards the left wing camp of the Xingtian Army.

Xiao Tianjian stood on the top of the arrow tower in a battalion, and used a telescope to look at the situation of Zuo Liangyu's camp, when he saw that there was already some movement in Zuo Liangyu's camp, a group of men and horses killed out of the camp, and killed in the direction of the left wing of the Xingtian Army, he put down the binoculars, turned around and went down the arrow tower, and ordered without returning to the big tent: "Order Zhao Erdonkey, it is the soldiers and horses under Liu Guoneng who came, and ordered him to defend the camp to the death, not to use more firearms, to resist Liu Guoneng's attack for me, and to show Zuo Liangyu as much as possible, Let him think that we are not as good as the legend says! Don't take it lightly! ”

Tietou immediately nodded and ordered the herald to quickly pass on the horse to Zhao Erdonkey, who was sitting on the left flank.

Although Zhao Erdonkey is still a battalion commander, but because he is the oldest in the army, the generals in the army also respect him a lot, this time in the battle of Qixian, Zhao Erdonkey was personally named by Xiao Tianjian, sitting on the left wing of the army, leading a battalion of soldiers in his headquarters, and also led a supernumerary reserve battalion, leading nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses, which can be regarded as a general brought out by Xiao Tianjian this time.

After Zhao Erdon was ordered, he did not send troops to meet the battle, Liu Guoneng led his troops to shout and curse in front of his camp for a long time, but Zhao Erdonkey was stunned to suppress the anger, and did not let a soldier out of the camp to meet the battle, Liu Guoneng shouted for a long time to see that the Xingtian Army refused to fight, so he ordered to attack the left wing camp of the Xingtian Army, and Zhao Erdonkey defended the camp according to the order, and sent the soldiers of the reserve battalion to fight, and the two armies fought inside and outside the camp, and Liu Guoneng ordered to retreat after a fierce battle for half a day.

The first day of the battle was also over, Zuo Liangyu was still a little nervous, but he didn't expect the first day of the Xingtian Army to be trapped in the camp to avoid the battle, so the mood was somewhat relaxed, when Liu Guoneng led the troops to come back, Zuo Liangyu recruited Liu Guoneng to the big tent and asked Liu Guoneng how he felt about the thief army in today's battle.

Liu Guoneng didn't suffer a loss in today's battle, so he looked a little arrogant, and replied with his fists folded: "Lord Qiyu, although the thief army is known as strong, it is not enough to think that it is too low!" Although the lowly army failed to enter the thief camp in the afternoon, the thief army is not as sharp as the legend, and the firearms are not sharp, so in the humble view, the adults will be able to break the thief army this time! ”

Zuo Liangyu laughed and said, "Not bad! Liu Shoubei has worked hard today! But we still can't underestimate the thief army, tomorrow to fight, you must obey the order, we will be here to surround and annihilate the thief army! Whoever takes back Xiao Tianjian's head from the thief in this battle, this official will definitely report to the imperial court and add him to the third level of official! 10,000 taels of silver! ”

After the "victory" on the first day, Zuo Liangyu's generals were a little less nervous, and they were all waiting for another battle the next day.

On the first day of hesitation, Xiao Tianjian strictly ordered the armies not to fight, and the result was that the Xingtian army was holding their breath, and when it was dark, they saw that Liu Guoneng led his troops to withdraw, so the generals asked Xiao Tianjian to fight, and they had to go out the next day to teach Zuo Liangyu a lesson.

"Wait for Hugh to make noise! Don't you see that this is a ploy of arrogance? Zuo Liangyu has a cunning temperament, although he led his troops to fight this time, but he did not plan to fight with all his strength, but left a good way back, once we are unfavorable, he will immediately lead his troops to escape!

And we're here to fight it today, not just to repel it! What I want is to cripple Zuo Liangyu in this battle, if you can wipe it out, it's the best, even if you can't wipe out Zuo Liangyu, this time you have to let it hurt your muscles and bones, and you will never dare to be my enemy again!

So what if we let him be arrogant for a few days? Tomorrow's war, it's still the old way, closed doors, let them attack casually! Let them taste the sweetness first! When their morale is weakened again, it will be time for our whole army to attack! If anyone disrespects orders and goes to war without authorization, he will not blame my military law! Alright, let's all go down and rest! Raise your spirits, and sooner or later there will be a time for you to attack! Retire! Xiao Tianjian didn't talk to these generals, he directly said his thoughts, and with a wave of his hand, he expelled them from the big tent, what should they do.

Turning his head, Xiao Tianjian said to Li Jinde: "I think this arrogant plan is good, Zuo Liangyu has been fighting smoothly against all kinds of rebels for more than a year, and now is the time when his momentum is at its highest, let's hide our strength first and let him enjoy a few days, it's also good!"

That's right! Jiang Qin sent a letter a few days ago, saying that there is a person named Li Xin in the county seat of Qixian County, and now that Qixian County has been taken by us, have you already sent someone to find this person? Have you also inquired, is there a female thief named Red Lady around? ”

Xiao Tianjian had arranged for Jiang Qin to send someone to visit Li Xin earlier, but because of the current war and chaos in various places, and the area of Qixian County is not stable, although Jiang Qin once sent people to visit the local area, but there has been no accurate news, but recently Jiang Qin's subordinates have been meticulous, but in the county seat of Qixian County, there is a grain store named Li Xin, but the word is not called Yan, but it is said that this person has a sense of justice, and it is said that he can be civil and martial, and he has been fighting injustice in the Qixian area many times. I don't know if the Li Yan that Xiao Tianjian said is the Li Xin who is in charge of the accounts of the grain store, so Xiao Tianjian simply led the troops directly to kill the county seat of Qi County, and captured the county seat of Qi County, and as soon as he entered the city, he sent people to start visiting this Li Xin, but after a few days, although the grain store was found, but when they broke through the county town of Qi County, the people of the grain store had already run away, and for a time they couldn't find this Li Xin in the county seat of Qi County. So Xiao Tianjian was preparing for war outside the county seat of Qixian County, and at the same time blockaded the county seat of Qixian County, so that Li Jinde paid attention to arranging for people to continue to visit this person in the city, today Zuo Liangyu has led his troops to arrive here, and the big battle is about to start, Xiao Tianjian remembered this matter again, and asked Li Jinde.

Li Jinde immediately nodded and said: "Marshal Qiqi, today I have actually received the news that this Li Xin has been found, but the marshal is busy with military affairs, so he didn't tell the marshal immediately!"

There is indeed such a person in a grain line in Qi County, this person is the main account in the grain line, now about Chinese New Year's Eve, is a person from Qinyang, Huaiqing Prefecture, was a tribute student, and the ancestors have martial arts, should be called a civil and military all-round person, because the temperament is too upright, so he failed to enter the career, and later followed his uncle to run the grain store here to make a living.

This person has a lot of good deeds in Qi County, and has also taken out the grain of the grain line to help the victims many times in his uncle, and has also gathered people to make trouble in the county government, asking the Qi County officials to open and give relief, for which they are not liked by the county officials, but there is a good name among the local people, this time the big man captured Qi County to find this person, the people of Qi County don't know what the big man is looking for him, thinking that the big man wants to harm him, so some people in the people secretly hide it, and lie that they don't know the whereabouts, so that so many days to find this person! Today, our people in the city have taken out this Li Xin and placed it properly first, please rest assured!

As for the red lady mentioned by the big handsome, no one has ever heard of such a character nearby, maybe it is a fraud! ”
