Zhang Xianzhong's several righteous sons are all dragons and phoenixes among people, but the best ones are Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo.

One of them has many ideas, and the other is very capable of fighting, and they are Zhang Xianzhong's right-hand man.

Li Dingguo was the most capable of fighting among the four righteous sons, and when Zhang Xianzhong saw him asking for his life, he immediately laughed and agreed.

Three days later, Li Dingguo made a little preparation, and then took more than 20,000 people from his headquarters as the vanguard and slaughtered Xiangyang in a mighty manner.

Last year, Zuo Liangyu was ambushed in Yuncheng, and only more than 500 of the 8,000 elites fled back to Xiangyang.

Now that nearly a year has passed, Zuo Liangyu's strength has recovered somewhat, and the court has not punished him, but he is not happy.

At this time, Li Zicheng in the north of Xiangyang had become so big that he trembled, and in the southeast of Xiangyang, his old opponent Zhang Xianzhong had also conquered Wuchang.

Now he is caught between the two thieves, and after years of fighting, he and the two thieves have a deep grudge, and once he falls into the hands of either side, nothing good will end.

At this time, seeing that he was about to be killed by two thieves in Xiangyang, Zuo Liangyu began to be anxious in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly received a report from the scouts that a Western army had just set off from Wuchang and was heading for Xiangyang, and had now arrived in Chengtianfu.

This news surprised Zuo Liangyu, and at the same time he was a little angry, he knew that after Zhang Xianzhong occupied Wuchang, he would have a battle with him, but he didn't want Zhang Xianzhong to come so quickly, so he didn't take him seriously.

If he hadn't wanted to raise Kou and let Zhang Xianzhong go, Zhang Xianzhong would have been trapped in the mountains long ago.

Now that the Kou he raised is going to eat himself, Zuo Liangyu can't help but regret a little in his heart, he didn't kill Zhang Xianzhong earlier.

He has achieved his original goal, and the Ming court can no longer do anything to him, but the Ming court is about to die.

It was night, Zuo Liangyu was pacing back in the festival hall with his hands in his hands, looking preoccupied.

He has dealt with Zhang Xianzhong for many years, and knowing that Zhang Xianzhong is very capable, his brother died at the hands of Zhang Xianzhong, and he himself was almost killed by Zhang Xianzhong on several occasions.

Zuo Liangyu is still quite jealous of Zhang Xianzhong, especially Zhang Xianzhong's defeat of Wuchang, the momentum is flourishing, at this time to fight with him, Zuo Liangyu really has no bottom in his heart.

"Marshal Qi, General Li has arrived." The soldiers outside the hall clenched their fists and reported.

Zuo Liangyu perked up and immediately ordered, "Let him come in quickly." ”

After a while, Li Guoying walked into the lobby quickly, and Zuo Liangyu saw him come in, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Li, has the situation been clarified?"

Li Guoying hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Qiqi Marshal, the last general has already found out clearly, the thief did send troops, and the leader of the army is Li Dingguo, nicknamed Xiao Wei Chi, there are more than 20,000 people!" ”

"It was Li Dingguo, who galloped to Xiangyang City overnight with twenty light horses." Zuo Liangyu frowned.

Li Guoying saw Zuo Liangyu's expression, so he immediately said: "Dashuai, we are caught between the thief and the thief, and there is only one way to die in Xiangyang." Now that the thieves have come to the door, we only have to fight, defeat the thieves, and then drive the thieves out of Wuchang and connect with the southeast, so that we can survive. ”

Zuo Liangyu calmed down, Li Zicheng in the north, he would definitely not be able to beat, and Guanzhong and Henan were occupied by Li Zicheng, it was impossible for him to break through to the north, so he could only pick up the soft pinch of persimmons and fight Zhang Xianzhong to the south.

Zhang Xianzhong killed his eldest brother's family, and he also killed Zhang Xianzhong's wife and concubine, and the hatred between the two could not be resolved.

Now Zhang Xianzhong has more than 200,000 people, and he also has more than 200,000, he is not without the strength to fight.

Zuo Liangyu walked back and forth in the festival hall for a few steps, stopped and said: "You are right, Xiangyang is now a place of death, Ben Shuai must defeat the thief before the thief goes south, otherwise as soon as the thief comes, Ben Shuai will be attacked from both sides."

Speaking of this, Zuo Liangyu looked at Li Guoying and said, "General Li Bing, hurry up and gather your troops and horses, and prepare to meet the thieves."

"The last general commands!" Li Guoying hugged his fists and saluted, and hurried away.

Zuo Liangyu looked at him out of the lobby, feeling that it was still a little unsafe, and hurriedly ordered: "Order Xu Yong to prepare and go on the expedition with Li Guoying!"

In the early morning of the next day, Li Guoying led 20,000 horses and horses to the south, and after a short time, Xu Yong led another 15,000 men out of Xiangyang City.

Outside the city, in a forest, several homeless figures dressed up saw the left army of the brigade pouring out of the south city, and as the leader, he immediately turned his head and ordered: "Mazi, Ma Liu, Zhang Xin, the three of you hurry up and tell the general, just say that the left army in Xiangyang is out of the city."

Gao Yihuan adopted the old man's strategy and sent people to Wuchang to spread the news first, saying that the Dashun army was going south, and let Zhang Xianzhong raise troops to capture Xiangyang first.

Although Xiangyang is a strong city, Zuo Liangyu is trapped in Xiangyang, and there is only one way to die.

Because Hubei is such a lone army as him, once he is surrounded by Zhang Xianzhong in the city, there is no one to relieve him from the siege, then he can only be trapped in the city.

Therefore, as long as Zuo Liangyu learned that Zhang Xianzhong raised troops to take Xiangyang, whether he wanted to or not, he would send troops to meet the battle, and he could not let Zhang Xianzhong besiege the city.

And as long as Zuo Liangyu sends troops, Gao Yihuan's opportunity will come.

North of Xiangyang City, on the east bank of the White River, in ** town, tens of thousands of horses gather here.

The reason why the army ran to the east bank was to rely on the river to block the scouts of the left army, but for several days, none of the scouts of the left army appeared in the field of vision of the high army.

At this time, Gao Yihuan was talking with Wang Guangtai and learning about the situation in Xiangyang and Yunyang.

The three Wang Guangtai brothers, who were originally also thieves, later surrendered to the official army for a period of time, but because of the lack of supplies, he could only come out and continue to fall into the grass, and by the way, he helped Wang Guangen and Wang Chang, who were still in Yunyang.

"Second brother, the scout came back to report that the left army in Xiangyang had left the city." Zhao Zhuzi walked over and said excitedly.

Gao Yihuan was also overjoyed when he heard it, and after waiting for four or five days, the left army in the city finally moved its nest.

"How many people are out of town, and how are the equipment?" Gao Yihuan still has to ask more clearly.

The scouts said that there were 35,000 men, who were going in two groups, less than an hour apart. Each team has more than 1,000 armor soldiers, which should be the elite soldiers of the left army. Zhao Zhuzi replied.

Zuo Liangyu has 200,000 people, and the core people are no more than 50,000 at most, and now that he has walked more than 30,000 at once, Gao Yihuan immediately stood up, "Guangtai, you immediately help the general release the news, just say that the Dashun army is marching south and wants to capture Xiangyang City." All the heroes who are willing to come over to serve, the Dashun army is in charge of two full meals. ”

"Zuo Liangyu doesn't do anything in Xiangyang, and if the general spreads the news, Haojie will inevitably rush to vote first." Wang Guangtai clenched his fists and led the order.

Gao Yihuan then immediately ordered: "Zhao Zhuzi, the army is preparing to cross the river, and the people and horses should play more flags to dry up the momentum, and they will scare Zuo Liangyu's turtle grandson to death." ”

Zhao Zhuzi also received the order, and in the royal body on the side, seeing that everyone had a task, he couldn't help asking: "General Gao, what about the humble position?" ”

Gao Yihuan glanced at him with disdain, "You just follow behind, it doesn't matter if you have you or not~"
