The left army crossed the river and occupied a county of Gao Yihuan, preparing to seize his territory in Huguang, which had seriously threatened the safety of Wei Wujun's rear road.

Originally, after accepting Zhao'an, Gao Yihuan had no reason to move south, but this time Zuo Liangyu gave him a chance.

In the Xiangyang Mansion, Chen Mingxia was processing official documents, and Wang Guangtai suddenly walked in, "Sir, a letter from the marshal." ”

Chen Mingxia took the letter, took it out and unfolded it, quickly glanced at it, and a smile appeared on his face, "The marshal has already set off for the south, let us be sure to leave the left army that crossed the river." ”

Wang Guangtai said: "Do you mean that the marshal is afraid that they will run back to the south bank?" ”

Chen Mingxia nodded, "That's true, it's been more than half a month since the end of the war in southern Henan, and Zuo Liangyu can get news from Nanjing or other channels." If he knew that Da Shuai, defeated Duoduo, and captured Kong Youde alive, he would definitely be scared half to death. If these left troops retreat to the south bank, it will be difficult for us to grasp them, so we must leave them behind, and everyone will get the stolen goods, which means that it is the left army that provokes the incident first, so that we can be unforgiving and get what we want. ”

Wang Guangtai nodded, "Sir, I kind of understand." ”

Chen Mingxia burned the letter, and then said, "General Wang, please take a trip!" ”

Wang Guangtai smiled, "Sir, don't worry, I promise that before the arrival of the handsome, I will arrest Zhang Yingxiang's turtle grandson." ”

Wang Guangtai knew very well what the left army was like, and knew that they were just a group of bandits under the banner of the official army.

Zhang Yingxiang, who led the army this time, was a defeated general under Wei Wujun, and Wang Guangtai did not take him seriously.

In the afternoon of the same day, the gate of Xiangyang City was opened, Wang Guangtai was wearing a battle armor, holding a glaive sword, riding a war horse, followed by 3,000 people and horses from the headquarters, and went south.

Three thousand soldiers of the Wei Wu army went down the Han River, and four days later, they arrived forty miles north of Hanchuan County.

At this time, he was already approaching the city, Wang Guangtai immediately waved his hand, and the people behind him stopped.

"Rest where you are, brothers, and the scouts continue to explore south!" Wang Guangtai grabbed the reins of his horse and opened his mouth to order.

More than a dozen scouts continued to the south, and more than 3,000 soldiers walked to the side of the road in formation, took off their blankets and cushioned them on the ground, sat neatly, and then took out their dry food and water bottles to eat and drink.

Wang Guangtai and his three subordinates gathered in front of a map to discuss how to deal with the 3,000 left army in Hanchuan.

While several people were analyzing, a group of scouts ran back, the first one turned over and dismounted, and hurried over, while the scouts behind put one of them down from their horses.

"General, the lowly duty went south to investigate and found a person sneaky and captured by the lowly position." The scout leader clenched his fists.

Wang Guangtai raised his eyebrows, "Did you ask, what are you doing?" ”

"It was said that it was the Sun County Order of Hanchuan that was sent out to ask for help." The scout replied.

"What about people?" Wang Guangtai was overjoyed, "Bring it over to see me!" ”

The scout saluted and brought a man in his thirties with him in a short time.

"General, the humble position is Huang Shengze, the catcher of Hanchuan, on the order of Sun County, is ready to go to Xiangyang to ask for troops, and I don't want to meet the general here!" The man saluted with joy, and then took out a letter.

Wang Guangtai took it and looked at it, and there was a letter from Sun Hailu of Zhixian County, so he asked, "What is the situation in Hanchuan now?" ”

The man's nose immediately soured, "General, Hanchuan was miserably harmed by those brutes in Zuozhen." If Wei Wujun doesn't come again, the people of the county will have no way to live. ”

Wang Guangtai frowned slightly, "Since Hanchuan is under the rule of our marshal, I, Wei Wujun, will naturally not abandon it. You can rest assured that Dashuai has already gone south from Nanyang and will enter Huguang in a few days, and Ben will be the striker, specially to deal with Zuo Zhen who crossed the river. When the people of Hanchuan are recaptured, they will have revenge and revenge. ”

"That's great." The man's face was full of excitement, "Now Hanchuan is saved." ”

Wang Guangtai waved his hand and asked, "Ben Jiang is now preparing to recapture the city, is the attitude of the people in the city towards Zuo Zhen the same?" What help can Sun Zhixian give Ben Jiang? ”

The man hurriedly said: "General rest assured, Zuozhen, who is hated by the people in the city now, all think of the good of Wei Wujun and the marshal, and hope that Wei Wujun will drive Zuozhen away." Sun County Ling had already discussed with the gentry in the city, asking them to choose to pool a sum of money and grain and let Zuozhen go, or choose to ask Wei Wujun to send troops, and the squires chose to ask Wei Wujun to send troops. ”

When Wang Guangtai heard this, his heart moved, he raised his hand and hooked it, signaling that it was the man approaching, "You come forward, I have something to tell you, you tell Sun Zhixian." ”

In Hanchuan County, Zhang Yingxiang occupied Wang Jinshi's house, lying comfortably on the Taishi chair, two little maids were hammering his thighs, and a little maid brought a bowl of white fungus lotus seed porridge, which beat two eggs and sent them to Zhang Zongbing's mouth with a spoon, and he enjoyed it beautifully.

At this time, the soldiers suddenly came to report, "Chief soldier, Sun Zhixian came to ask for a meeting." ”

Zhang Yingxiang frowned slightly, "What is he here for?" Is the reward army's silver ready? ”

The pro-soldier said, "I said that I had something important to discuss with the chief soldier, and it seemed that I was in a hurry." ”

Zhang Yingxiang waved his hand and signaled that he would not eat, he sat up straight from the Taishi chair, wiped his mouth with his hand, and touched the little girl's small breasts that beat his legs, which frightened the little girl and fell to the ground in shock.

Zhang Yingxiang smiled, "Hehe~ Don't panic, you are still young, follow the general first, and when you grow up, the general will spoil you again." ”

After speaking, he stood up and said to his soldiers: "Let Sun County Order come to see me!" ”

After a while, Sun County's order, who had a worried face, was brought in.

When Zhang Yingxiang saw him, he asked, "Sun County Order, is the money and grain to be paid in the county ready?" ”

Previously, Zhang Yingxiang had already taken away 100,000 taels, but he was not satisfied, and recently asked the county order to provide another 100,000 taels as the daily expenses of the army's garrison.

He wants to pass a sum of money, and he wants another sum of money, it is simply a sinkhole, he is not satisfied at all, and his words do not count, where do the gentry dare to give him money and food.

Sun Zhixian said: "Chief military officer, you are going to make a second payment, the fathers and elders in the city are worried about paying this one, and the chief military officer is unwilling to pay the silver if he wants to come up with any name." ”

Zhang Yingxiang immediately turned his face blank, as if he had been greatly insulted, "Mother, at this time, I doubt the character of the general, or Diao Min doesn't want to contribute to the country." Brothers crossing the river to assist in defense, the opening fee alone is 100,000 yuan, not counting military rations and salaries, is it going to be more? I think someone is tired of life. ”

Sun Zhixian said with a busy face: "Chief military officer, it's not that the villagers in the city don't want to give it, they invite the chief military officer to the banquet tonight, just to ask how much food the chief military officer needs before he can leave Hanchuan County." You see that the soldiers were stationed during this time, Hanchuan County was already destitute in order to support the soldiers, and it was really impossible to afford it. You look at Yingcheng and Xiaogan in the north, and you are also looking forward to this general army garrison, is the army going over there to see? ”

Zhang Yingxiang frowned, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly, "What, tonight's banquet, I will definitely come, as for the move, I will talk about it after eating, and I will talk about it after eating~"
