Zuo Liangyu took Donglin's money and grain, and Huang Shu and Hou Fangyu urged him to send troops every day, persuading him not to let Jingxiang's Wei Wujun have time to prepare, so as not to make it difficult to take Jingxiang when he really sent troops.

He also knows his strength, don't look at Jingxiang's Wei Wu army of only 30,000 people, if it really fights, he may not be able to eat it.

Zuo Liangyu knew that if he waited one more day, Wei Wujun's preparation would be one more point, and it would be more difficult for him to take Jingxiang.

On this day, Zuo Liangyu was in the Hou Mansion, thinking about whether to send another group of men and horses across the river, when someone suddenly came to report that there was news from Hanchuan.

Zuo Liangyu was shocked, hurriedly moved to the festival hall, sat down on the Taishi chair, looked at Li Guoying, who was already waiting in the festival hall, and said, "Say, what news did Zhang Yingxiang send?" ”

Li Guoying's face was a little excited: "Marshal, Zhang Yingxiang sent someone to send an urgent report, saying that Gao Jingzhong was defeated in southern Henan and was about to retreat to Huguang. Let the marshal immediately send troops across the river, and occupy Xiangyang before Gao Yihuan entered Huguang. ”

Zuo Liangyu raised his eyebrows, his eyes brightened instantly, and he immediately laughed, "Haha, Ben Shuai knows that Gao Yihuan is the opponent of the Qing army!" ”

Now Zuo Liangyu has been sealed, but Li Guoying, the generals of Zuo Town, has not gone further.

They follow Zuo Liangyu, naturally hoping to get further development and need a future, not for Zuo Liangyu's glory and wealth.

The left army has hundreds of thousands of people nested in Wuchang and Huangzhou, and if it does not develop outward, it will have no future to speak of.

Zuo Liangyu is a marquis, he doesn't have to worry, but Li Guoying, Xu Yong and others are anxious, they also want to go to the next level, and they also want to be the marquis, so they are already a little dissatisfied that Zuo Liangyu can't make them strong and don't bring them more benefits.

Li Guoying first explained the content of the military newspaper, and then while handing the general newspaper to Zuo Liangyu, he persuaded: "Marshal, now is the best time for us to recapture Xiangyang!" Now that Gao Yihuan is defeated, sooner or later he will be driven into Huguang by the Qing army, and when he retreats into Huguang, we will have no chance. ”

Zuo Liangyu glanced at Li Guoying, he didn't know what his subordinates were thinking, and couldn't help laughing: "Are you afraid that Ben Shuai will not send troops?" Guoying, you can rest assured that Ben Shuai will not forget the enemy of Xiangyang. ”

Gao Yihuan took advantage of his battle with Zhang Xianzhong, led his troops to attack Xiangfan, killed his general Lu Guangzu, and played his son Zuo Mengeng into a waste, this hatred Zuo Liangyu always remembers in his heart.

It's just that Gao Yihuan is too powerful now, he must choose the right time for revenge, and knock Gao Yihuan down at once, otherwise the revenge will not succeed, but he will be beaten by Gao Yihuan, which will not be beautiful.

"What does the marshal mean by the decision to send troops?" Li Guoying's face was happy.

Zuo Liangyu's face was cruel, "This is an opportunity for God to have eyes and give Ben Shuai an opportunity to avenge Geng'er, and Ben Shuai naturally wants to grasp it." Moreover, if Gao Yihuan retreated into Huguang, not only would Ben Shuai not have a chance to collect Xiangyang and Jingzhou, but even Wuchang would be peeped at by Gao Yihuan. ”

In Zuo Liangyu's view, Gao Yihuan is not a good type, if he is driven out of southern Henan by the Qing army, he will definitely expand the space to the south, east, and west, and Wuchang is likely to become Gao Yihuan's target, so he might as well strike first.

Saying that, Zuo Liangyu lifted his spirits, "Guoying, pass on the order of Ben Shuai, let the generals go to the festival hall to obey the order, Ben Shuai will collect Jing Xiang, and let Gao Yihuan also taste the taste of being stabbed in the back." ”

Li Guoying was overjoyed and hurriedly went to give the order, but Zuo Liangyu smiled gloomily, not knowing what to think.

In the north of Hanchuan County, a roaring sound of horses' hooves came, three thousand tiger horse army, three thousand dragon horses, a total of 6,000 people and horses, starry night south, only four days, galloped from Nanyang to the border of Hanchuan.

Ten miles north of the county seat, Wang Guangtai and Sun County Commander led more than 10 people to greet them in the long pavilion, and saw the cavalry rolling in from a distance, and the scene was very spectacular.

Sun Xianling had never seen such a large-scale horse army, and he couldn't help but be very shocked in his heart, he didn't expect the strength of the Korean Gong to be so strong, and he was glad that he had made the right choice.

At this time, the cavalry slowly galloped over, and the first general rode a black horse, surrounded by the guards, and the horses' hooves came to the long pavilion.

Wang Guangtai hurriedly stepped forward, and at the moment when Gao Yihuan strangled the war horse, he saluted and said, "The last general will see the big handsome!" ”

Sun County Ling was also busy saluting, "The lower official has seen the Guogong!" ”

Gao Yihuan didn't get off the horse, "You don't have to be polite, let's talk as we walk." On the way, you tell Ben Shuai about what happened in Hanchuan, as well as the movements of Zuo Liangyu in Wuchang. ”

Wang Guangtai and Sun Xianling immediately turned over and got on the horse, following Gao Yihuan on both sides.

Wang Guangtai reported first: "Dashuai, the 3,000 left troops who crossed the river were disarmed and imprisoned in the county seat. In addition, Zhang Yingxiang, the captured left general, sent a letter to Zuo Liangyu and asked Zuo Liangyu to cross the river. According to the scouts' inquiries, the left army in Wuchang was collecting ferries and was already preparing to cross the river. ”

Gao Yihuan nodded approvingly, "Why can't the navy, it's a good way to lure Zuo Liangyu across the river and defeat his main force." In addition, the left army sneak attack on our territory was defeated by Ben Shuai, and when Ben Shuai retaliated, Nanjing had nothing to say. You're doing a great job. ”

Gao Yihuan's satisfied chin, Wang Guangtai was appreciated, and he couldn't help but blush.

Gao Yihuan immediately asked Sun County Ling about the matter of Hanchuan County, and when he heard what the Left Army was doing in the city, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, at the level of the Left Army, he still came to provoke him, I am afraid that not only can it not cause him any harm, but it will help him consolidate his rule.

Not long after, the group came to Hanchuan County, and Gao Yihuan immediately ordered that the captured Left Army be tried and severely punished for harming the people.

Sun Xianling quickly found the people to identify, and from nearly 3,000 captives, he found out more than 100 people who killed people indiscriminately, more than 200 women who raped ** women, and there were too many robbers, and basically everyone participated.

The result of the trial made Gao Yihuan a little frightened, and he was secretly surprised by the ability of the left army to harm the people.

On the same day, Gao Yihuan asked more than 300 left troops who participated in the murder and rape of ** women to be pressed outside the city, knelt in several rows under the city wall, and were blindfolded by black cloth.

Behind them, three columns of firecrackers, already loaded.

At this time, Gao Yihuan waved his hand, and a sound sounded, and the left army kneeling on the ground was knocked down one by one.

The sound of the guns frightened the left sergeants who were tied behind their backs and blindfolded, some of them howled and cried, some kowtowed and begged for mercy, and some struggled to get up and ran forward, but they were soon knocked down by the firecrackers.

For a while, the onlookers were thunderous with joy and applauded, and more than 300 left troops were killed in a moment.

At this time, Gao Yihuan lost no time in standing up, scanning the four directions, and said loudly: "Folks." The warlords of the Left Army, taking advantage of the fact that Ben Shuai was fighting Tartars in southern Henan, quietly occupied Hanchuan, raped and plundered in the city, and did bad things, making everyone suffer. As a lord guarding Henan and Hubei, Ben Shuai failed to protect the villagers, which was a dereliction of duty! But I assure you that nothing like this will happen again. As long as Ben Shuai is there, Ben Shuai will definitely protect everyone from the scourge of Tartars and warlords, and build a peaceful world for everyone. ”

Gao Yihuan first accompanied the people, and then made a guarantee, which immediately moved the people, and they were full of respect and deep love for Gao Dashuai.
