Chapter 255: What's the Truth?
"Hahahaha, drink and drink!"
The sun outside the big tent is more and more dazzling, but inside the tent is cool, the ground is covered with a thick felt blanket, Zhang Xianzhong is still wearing a felt hat, wearing a brocade walnut coat, and flat soft boots, sitting on the carpet. The two beauties beside him www.biquge.info holding white silk and wiping the pus between his eyebrows from time to time.
However, the weather was hot, and the pus had only been wiped away for a short time, and the eyebrows were wet, and the white silk discarded on the ground was already a pile.
But that year, Zhang Xianzhong was shot by Zuo Liangyu with an arrow and a knife, three years have passed, the scar left on the left cheek is easy to say, but the arrow sores in the center of the eyebrows burst from time to time. Pus came out when he was suffering, and there was no day, which made Zhang Xianzhong miserable.
But at this time, he was laughing, and tried his best to greet Ge Liyan, Zuo Jin Wang and others beside him.
There are also dozens of strong men sitting on the ground in the tent, several of them are fierce, and their demeanor is quite commanding, it is Ge Li Yan He Yilong, Lao Hui Ma Shouying, Zuo Jin Wang He Jin, Reincarnation King Liu Xiyao, Troubled King Lin Yangcheng and others.
There are also battalion generals, Zhang Xianzhong, Yizi and others, with swords, bowls of wine and meat, and drinking on the ground.
At this time, the atmosphere is harmonious, not only is there wine and meat like water, but also the beauties of the troupe who are snatched to sing and dance to help the music, Yu Yu Sanyun, the first performance of Guan Gong Wuguan and six generals, the second performance of Han Shizhong Qinwang, and the third performance of Wei Chi Gong three whips for two gongs.
The three pieces are finished, the eight notes are repeated, and the beauties sing and dance, which is pleasing to the eye.
When the drink moved, the beauty retreated, talking about business, this Hongxian County is still not fighting, especially Zhang Xianzhong proposed to go north to attack Suining.
"Going north?" Ge Li glared at He Yilong, "Huang Hu, our Lao Tzu has also heard that the guards of Suining County have some ability, and in March, a tiger and others also beat Suining County, and it seems that they have suffered a loss." How to suffer a loss, we haven't figured it out yet. ”
"And the sentry cavalry of each battalion also said that the road to the north of Hongxian County is not easy to walk, and the road condition is very bad. To take the main road, you have to turn to Lingbi in the west, and then turn to Suining from the east of Lingbi. Your mother is hairy, how many unjust roads will this take? It is particularly difficult for heavy vehicles to walk, and it is rash to go north, which Lao Tzu thinks is not pleased. ”
He Yilong is a strong man, strong and strong, and his personality is a little irritable, he is the brother of He Renlong, the general soldier of Shaanxi, and has always been brave and good at fighting, and his scheming is also sensitive, thick on the outside and fine on the inside.
But the eyes are a little bad, some short-sighted, but there is a small beast in Yansui in northern Shaanxi, the eyes of the mouse are light, and it can't see clearly from a foot away, and the locals are commonly known as Geli. He Yilong is a native of Yansui, so he got the nickname of Ge Liyan.
He said with a big grin, and his tone was a little unkind to Zhang Xianzhong.
He is the head of the left side of the revolution, and the combat strength of the soldiers and horses will not be worse than that of the camp, so there is no need to curry favor with him. And they are allies, the battalions are equal to each other, no matter how big or small, it is a comradeship on an equal footing, and no one can command whom.
If there is anything, all battalions have always sat down to discuss, Zhang Xianzhong can be moody with his subordinates, calling and drinking, but He Yilong and others don't have to bird him.
He Yilong thinks, why did the blind man's team hit a wall under Suining City? What mysteries are there, what ghosts are there?
Before the matter is clear, it is better not to act rashly. What did they rely on for the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution and the Left to survive until now? Caution! If you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can run, the hard bones are never gnawed, and the persimmons are only picked up and pinched.
Lao Hui Ma Shouying said lightly: "Hongxian is not easy to fight, if He Ye said, the situation in the north is not clear." Now that it's May, the weather is going to be hot, we should go back to England and Huoshan to escape the summer, and wait for the autumn to be crisp, and the grass will grow and the horses will grow and come out again. ”
Ma Shouying was born in the town of soldiers, and his subordinates surrendered to the Han Dynasty, he was good at and mud, because of his age, he and He Yilong were respected as the head of the left.
But in his heart, he didn't want to go north, and the weather was going to be hot, so they and the left thieves avoided in the mountains of Ying and Huo in May and June every year, leaning on Lin Yue to spend the summer, and the autumn came back, and the year was normal.
Ma Shouying thinks it's time to go home, don't fight if Hongxian is not good, as for that Suining, he can't run there all the time, he can fight whenever he wants, and he doesn't have to rush for a while.
Zhang Xianzhong's face was a little gloomy, he didn't expect the two leaders of Gezuo to give him so much face, and he joined forces with Gezuo, and he felt that there were too many constraints from all sides, so he had the heart to go alone.
For He Yilong and others, Zhang Xianzhong was fierce, arrogant and unruly, and his temperament was very different from that of his brothers, and he became more and more impatient with him, so he buried the foreshadowing of parting ways.
Only Zuojin Wang He Jin hesitated, this time he crossed Huai to the north, he suffered the loss of Yingzhou general Li Xu in Shouzhou, so he said that he moved the Zhuying brothers to go north to take revenge on Li Xu's hometown.
Unexpectedly, it was still a big defeat, and all the camps of the Revolution were damaged, and it was difficult to explain.
The Eight Kings also sent troops to support the scene this time, and he proposed to go north, which is reasonable, and he must return it, otherwise this morality is unjustifiable.
He said: "The eldest brother and the second brother are worried, but the proposal of the eight kings is also reasonable. That Suining is building roads, and it is close to the canal, and there are many markets, so it must be very oily. We sent more sentry horses, and sure enough, the county town was easy to fight, so we knocked down the city. If it's not easy to fight, it will capture the township, and the county, district, and township will dare to go out of the city and fight with us in the field? ”
Everyone's hearts moved, it was this reason, He Jin continued: "Suining is not far from Hongxian, that is, Baili Road, we can go and go back quickly." As for the road that is not easy to walk, it is necessary to carry less baggage and ride more with a horse team. Don't stop here in Hongxian, just fight if you have nothing to do. ”
Everyone nodded, and Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said, "King Zuo Jin said it well, our Lao Tzu thinks the same way." If the county is not easy to fight, we will not fight and loot the place. If it is a soft persimmon, knock the county seat down. ”
He laughed wildly: "That county official is willing to build roads, and he is not a corrupt official, so let's leave him a whole corpse, hahahaha." ”
The thieves were decisive men, and they decided at the moment, and they consulted on the number of troops to be sent.
They have a lot of soldiers and horses, each battalion has two or three thousand fine horsemen, tens of thousands of horse team foot soldiers, of course, it is impossible to bring them out of the nest.
When they crossed the Huai River with their combined troops, they dispatched a total of 5,000 elite cavalry, 15,000 horsemen and infantry, and more than 10,000 troops, and the rest remained in the Ying and Huo Mountains.
However, in the first battle of Yingzhou, the fine cavalry team was fine, and the infantry and the guards lost thousands of people, and after the east swept Meng, Su, Ling, Hong and other places, they are now replenished almost the same, and there are thousands more people in special support.
It was decided to take 3,000 elite cavalry to the north, with 500 cavalry in each of the six battalions, 7,000 horsemen and infantry, and 10,000 troops, a total of 20,000 men.
The rest of the 2,000 fine horses, 8,000 horse steps, and thousands of people continue to stay on the side of Hongxian, and the general will watch, continue to fight, and don't stop.
Not like Li Chuang, Ge Zuo, Zhang Xianzhong and others basically do not use gunfire, but gunpowder is carried, during the siege of the city, use shovels and steel drills to dig out a big hole in the wall, put hundreds of catties of gunpowder in it, tear off the silk to make a fuse, dozens of zhang long.
It is also closed with a split bamboo, covered with a thick layer of soil, and finally ignited, often half of the city wall will fly into the sky.
Gold and silver cloth should also be brought, and the defeat is not considered before victory, whether it is Ge Zuo or Zhang Xianzhong and others, this point has been done very well.
Their combat style, if they want to escape, they are worried about the pursuit of the soldiers, and they mostly use gold silk to leave the land, and the soldiers take advantage of it, and they do not chase endlessly.
Or if they hope that the soldiers will come, they will abandon their baggage and go again, and the militia will fight for it for profit, so they will kill the horse pistol, and often win a big victory.
Therefore bring with you all the gold and silver treasures you should bring, just in case.
and set a day for the troops, that is, early tomorrow morning.
The thieves discussed, and the generals of each department listened to it, this kind of military strategy has never had their share of speaking.
Especially for Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates, all the investigations, camps, formations, and troop dispatches were arranged by the Eight Kings themselves. Not to mention the senior generals in the battalion, even his righteous sons, they often only have to obey orders.
Sun Kewang sat quietly beside him, listening to the words of the kings, he decided the strategic direction, the whereabouts of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, that kind of majesty, that kind of power, couldn't help but make him yearn for it, if one day, he could do the same......
Li Dingguo remembered that there were many sentinels who went north, but it was often difficult for them to transmit news back to Suining, which was rare in recent years. I heard that there is no battalion garrison in Suining County, and there is only one general practitioner, who is still a showman.
This person has such ability, he can't help but be curious.
……
After Ge Liyan and others dispersed, Zhang Xianzhong also arranged in the camp, he left the general Ma Yuanli, Liu Jinzhong and others in Hongxian County to guard the main baggage, this Ximen has nothing to do, but there is no need to be serious, in Zhang Xianzhong's opinion, this Hongxian County can not be beaten.
Among the righteous sons, Zhang Sihu, Zhang Hualong, Zhang Junyong and others stayed, led the cavalry elite cavalry to guard, and the rest Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Zhang Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi followed him north.
In Zhang Xianzhong's view, among the righteous sons, these four people are the most outstanding, fierce, powerful, intelligent, and double, and can be cultivated well.
The generals Wang Shangli, Wang Dingguo, and Feng Shuangli also followed, leading part of the horsemen and infantry.
He warned everyone that from this moment on, they must be cautious, especially at night, do not indulge in alcohol and miss major events, and give instructions again and again.
Everyone said: "Dare not be fateful? ”
As soon as he retreated, Zhang Xianzhong stayed in the old camp center, and slept with two beautiful people.
But when he arrived at the third watch, he suddenly woke up again, wrapped in armor and walked slightly, carrying a knife to patrol, this is his habit, often can't sleep at night, pick up the knife and go out of his tent, often left and right guards do not know where.
At this time, Zhang Xianzhong walked in the camp again, the camp was all bonfires, the old camp patrolled constantly, walked to the edge of the camp, about 200 steps away, the left and right front and back were all outside the camp, the same dense bonfire, and the stars in the sky, it seemed that the heavens and the earth were rotating, I don't know which one is which.
Zhang Xianzhong wrapped his cloak tightly and exhaled: "Your mother is hairy, we always dream that someone stole the camp and cut off our Laozi's head." ”
Soon he went back to sleep in his tent and woke up to the light of day.
When he got up, he saw that the two beauties from last night were already kneeling on the edge of the bed, looking at him with pleading eyes.
One of them was still teary-eyed, and his eyes were full of tears, like the eyes of the fawn before he died.
Zhang Xianzhong's face was expressionless, and he suddenly drew his sword and stabbed it, "poof" twice, bringing up a large area of blood flowers, and the second daughter screamed miserably, and was stabbed to death.
Whenever Zhang Xianzhong goes to a place, the captive woman will choose the stunning two to sleep, and he will go, but fortunately, the beauty knows it.
Since his rebellion, he has not known how many beauties he has stabbed, and killing them is like killing a chicken, or stepping on a few ants, and there will be no trace of feeling.
This is also one of the reasons why he Zhang Xianzhong likes to rebel and be a thief, if he is willing to recruit An, how many times has the government carried out on them, but how can Congliang be a thief? Let's just say that this captive beauty, if it is an official identity, I am afraid it will attract criticism.
However, as a rogue, everything he does is a matter of course.
Of course, rebellion is also a high-risk industry, and he is suspicious and often has insomnia, which is one of the sequelae.
A few guards carried the two beauties down and buried them, no matter what, after all, the woman who was fortunate to the eight kings still wanted a grave.
Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Zhang Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi got up early, and they all stood outside the tent, looking at the body of the beauty who was carried away, Li Dingguo was just silent, and Ai Nengqi was speechless: "It's a pity, the beauty of the flower died after one time." ”
Zhang Wenxiu was thoughtful, but Sun Kewang was unimpressed: "Just a beauty, what is the truth?" With soldiers and horses in hand, there are as many beauties as there are. ”
