Qianshan Tianwang Village was built in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was originally to resist the Mongolian iron cavalry, but now it has become a ready-made fortress that Zhang Xianzhong can rely on on on the front line of Qianshan.

After the battle of Fengxiangyi, the official army Liu Liangzuo tried to enter the mountains to attack, but ended up losing 300 soldiers and gaining nothing, and was almost cut off by Sun Kewang's cavalry battalion.

In the Tianwangzhai Gathering Hall, Zhang Xianzhong sat on the tiger skin handsome seat with a golden sword, and the deputy marshal Luo Rucai and other leaders of the rebel army sat down.

In order to work together to deal with the official army, the crowd has formed a coalition army, and according to the size of the strength, Zhang Xianzhong was publicly recommended as the commander of the coalition army, and Luo Rucai was the deputy marshal.

Zhang Xianzhong had a tiger on his back, a beard on his face, and a loud voice, and said loudly: "In the first battle of Huoshan, the situation changed greatly. First of all, I would like to thank Luo Shuai for his plan of 'diverting the tiger from the mountain', so that the sky can be used as a lamb leading the wolf back. Again, it was the Jianwu Army who fought well in Huoshan! In the first battle, he ate Zuo Liangyu's 2,000 men and horses, making this kid run faster. Hahaha! ”

Saying that, they laughed, and the leaders also laughed, and as soon as Zuo Liangyu left, their pressure was much less.

Suppressing his laughter, Zhang Xianzhong said again: "Now, the Jiangbei area is our world!" Fourth, let's talk about the latest news from the forward army scouts. ”

The fourth elder Zhang Hualong stood up, brought out a burst of armor "whoosh", and responded forcefully: "Yes!" Zuo Liangyu's department passed Lu'an, and the front part had entered the border of Henan. As soon as the threat from the northeast is eliminated, the five battalions of the left side of the revolution can all go south, and the strength of our army will increase greatly, and Anqing will inevitably wave his hand. ”

"At present, only the soldiers of the four towns of Ma Yi, Liu Liangzuo, Huang Degong, and Mu Wenshou in the Jiangbei area still have combat strength; Zhang Guowei has retracted to Suzhou, while the Nanjing camp he left behind is vulnerable; Shi Kefa's Chizhou soldiers were a little hateful, and they just couldn't come out when they shrank in Anqing City. ”

Shi Kefa Chongzhen for eight years, patrolling Chizhou, Taiping and other places, two years later changed to patrolling Anqing, Luzhou, Chizhou and other places. When he was in Chizhou, he trained a group of Chizhou soldiers, numbering 5,000 people, because of the abundance of money and food, so they were quite effective.

It was the pressure of Zhang Guowei, Shi Kefa, Zuo Liangyu, Ma Yi, Liu Liangzuo, Huang Degong, Mou Wenshou and others that interrupted the momentum of Zhongkou's eastward advance. Now that Zuo Liangyu is gone, most of the officers and soldiers have gone, and the leaders are full of spirits.

"Dashuai!" Zhang Hualong suggested to Zhang Xianzhong: "The key now is how to lure Shi Kefa out of Anqing, when Anqing is empty, it is good to attack the city!" Anqing, Nanjing is in our hands. At that time, the handsome will be the emperor in the Nanjing Imperial Palace, haha! ”

Zhang Xianzhong was also very happy, he deliberately didn't look at Luo Rucai, who had some abnormal looks. I don't want to be the leader of the emperor, I'm not a good leader, and Luo Rucai is also a person with ideas.

Zhang Xianzhong restrained his smile and said: "I think I, Zhang Xianzhong, have even gone to the title of king, what do you want the emperor's false name to do?" The fourth child said very reasonably, we have been in Anqing, and we know that the city wall there is high and thick, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack! It's to find a way to lure that Shi Kefa out, we suffered his loss at Fengxiangyi, and we have to double it back this time. Big guy, tell me, how to fight? ”

"How about attacking Luzhou first? Luzhou is lost, Anqing North Road is cut off, and Shi Kefa will save Luzhou. Luo Rucai seemed a little lacking in anger and said: "The plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements, Shi Kefa can't fail to hit!" ”

Of course, Zhang Xianzhong understood the reason why Luo Rucai wanted to fight Luzhou, but he didn't break it, and said with a smile: "Brother Luo, if this battle is fought well, we will definitely not treat the brothers of Luo Ying badly."

"Otherwise, you personally led the Luo camp to besiege Luzhou, and I was responsible for sending reinforcements to eat Shi Kefa. As soon as the reinforcements went, Luzhou could easily go. At that time, Luo Ying was in Luzhou, and Xiying was in Anqing, and our brothers were happy in the south and north, giving the emperor of Jingshi a little color to see. ”

Luo Rucai mentioned attacking Luzhou, that is, he coveted Luzhou as a big city with countless goods. Zhang Xianzhong's containment of the officials and troops in Anqing was exactly what he wanted, and of course he hurriedly agreed.

"Slow!"

Everyone followed the prestige, and it turned out to be Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son Li Dingguo.

"Dad, Luo Shuai, the city wall of Luzhou is high and thick, and there are many defenders, Dingguo is worried that Luo Ying's encirclement will not succeed but will suffer from it! attack, casualties are bound to be heavy, and the cost is too great and may not be able to take Luzhou; If you don't attack or don't attack ruthlessly, Shi Kefa will not send Anqing to the north, not to mention how Liu Liangzuo's ministry acts, we should also take a good look at it.

"In case the Luo camp falls into a stalemate in Luzhou, Shi Kefa does not move in Anqing, and Zhang Guowei's Jingying and Liu Liangzuo support the north and south in the Tongcheng area, Xiying and Luo Ying will inevitably fall into complete passivity."

Li Dingguo walked up to Zhang Xianzhong and pointed to the map on the handsome case.

"Dingguo, tell me how to fight?" Zhang Xianzhong bowed slightly, twisted his beard and looked at the righteous son who had grown up, quite pleased.

Li Dingguo bowed his hand to everyone and said: "Dad, Uncle Luo, uncles, that kid has the courage to speak, if there is anything inappropriate, I hope to correct it." ”

"Attacking points and sending reinforcements, we might as well let go of Luzhou, specifically referring to Taihu Lake (not Suzhou Taihu Lake, Taihu County, Anqing Prefecture), Qizhou (now Qichunnan), Huangzhou (now Huanggang) and other places. This is a place of responsibility for Shi Kefa, and it is also a place where Anqing and our army will inevitably fight. Once this place falls into my hands, Anqing will have no barrier and a lonely city! Therefore, Shi Ke will send troops to help. Calling out Shi Kefa, there is a better chance of winning Anqing at this time. ”

"Compared with Taihu Lake and other places, Luzhou has more soldiers and enough food, high city walls, and reinforcements from Fengyang and other places can be counted on, so attacking Luzhou may not be able to mobilize Shi Kefa. On the other hand, attacking Taihu Lake and other places will be saved by Shi Kefa. Moreover, the official army did not have a strong city to rely on, so even if it was attacked, it would not cost too much casualties. Therefore, it is also a siege point to send reinforcements, and Taihu Lake is more advantageous than Luzhou. ”

"Anqing controls the Yangtze River shipping in the south, and Anqing can enter Nanjing in the east, Chizhou in the south, Huguang in the west, and Zhongdu in the north. On the contrary, Luzhou is surrounded by strong cities, and once it is lost, the heavy troops of Henan, Xuzhou, and Fengyang will immediately gather, and it will be difficult to deal with the current coalition forces. Dingguo thinks that it is a good policy to first the south and then the north. Please think twice about my father and uncles. ”

Yizi talked eloquently, Zhang Xianzhong was relieved, he waved his hand to let Li Dingguo retreat, smiled sideways and said to Luo Rucai: "Old Luo, what do you think?" ”

Luo Rucai frowned and thought for a long time, what people said did make sense, but in this way, his Luo Ying was going to make wedding dresses for others. Zhang Xianzhong won Anqing, so he was even more sure of his position as deputy marshal.

"What do you think?" Luo Rucai asked Hui Deng, the chaotic star next to him. Now that Liu Guo is able to contain the officials and troops in the west, the strength of Hui Dengxiang, the star of Chaotian, can be regarded as the number three person here.
