Five days after Zhang Shihua captured Changlin City, that is, on September 27, after two days of hard fighting, Yu Junzheng finally led his troops to attack Jiangling City.

Although it is said that the fundamental reason why they were able to capture Jiangling City so easily was because of the news that Jingmen Prefecture had bitten the defeat and was killed, so that the Jiangling defenders no longer had the heart to resist.

But no matter what, Jiangling City now finally belongs to him again Yu Junzheng.

So after attacking Jiangling City, Yu Junzheng, who thought that his strength had skyrocketed, wrote a letter to Zhang Shihua, telling Zhang Shihua, 'I, Yu Junzheng, will form an alliance with you Zhang Shihua from now on, Xiazhou Road and Jingmen Prefecture will be your Zhang Shihua's territory from now on, and Zhongxing Road and Weiyang Mansion will be my territory. ’

Blindly confident, he even ignored Zhang Shihua anymore, so he happily killed the local tyrant in Jiangling City and divided the money and food. He didn't notice that Zhang Shihua had already led his army out of Changlin City, and rushed straight towards him along the official road.

"General, do you think the Blackcoat will agree to your proposal?" On the evening of September 29, two days after Yu Junzheng's letter to Zhang Shihua was sent, he was in the palace of King Huai in Jiangling City. A well-read advisor under Yu Junzheng looked at Yu Junzheng, who was sitting on the throne and enjoying the wine and beauty, and couldn't help but suddenly ask such a sentence.

"Hahahaha, will you agree. I, Yu Junzheng, don't care if he will agree, now that I have attacked Jiangling City, with a wave of my hand, I can raise another 100,000 troops. You said that Zhang Shihua is a northern barbarian, does he dare to disagree, does he dare? Saying that, Yu Junzheng, who was drunk, couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, the eldest brother is right, we brothers haven't seen any scenes since they started the army. He Zhang Shihua just started the army a few months earlier than us, and our brother is afraid of him. If he dares to disobey my eldest brother's proposal, I will behead him. ”

As he spoke, Yu Juntai, who was drunk as mud in the hall, also shouted loudly.

And seeing the appearance of the two of them, this advisor surnamed Liang also knew that at this time, even if he broke his throat, it was estimated that he would only be annoying to others.

So after bowing his head and sighing, he couldn't help but walk out of the lobby in the name of going to the toilet.

"Hey, just after attacking Jiangling City, he actually moved to this palace to have fun again, it can really be said that he can't help Adou!" In addition to the back of the room, looking at Jiangling City, which had been made like a ghost by Yu Junzheng and his subordinates, Liang Kai couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"I only heard that Zhang Shihua is a person with great ambitions, and when he first started the army, he once drunkenly sang, 'Born in troubled times, you must hold a three-foot Qingfeng and build an immortal achievement'. How could such a character be willing to let our army profit and pick the fruit of such a fisherman? ”

"It is estimated that it will not be long before our army will have a battle with that Zhang Shihua. But looking at the general's happy appearance, how can our army resist the black-clothed army that is famous for its bravery and good fighting! As he spoke, Liang Kai sighed, and a different look flashed in his eyes.

Good ministers choose the lord to do things, and good birds choose trees to perch. In this world of great contention, I should also leave a way back for myself.

Touching the beard on his chin, Liang Kai couldn't help but have the idea of writing a letter to Zhang Shihua to make friends with him.

However, what he Liang Kai didn't expect was that at this time, Zhang Shihua, whom he wanted to befriend, had already led his troops out of the jurisdiction of Jingmen Prefecture and came straight to the jurisdiction of Zhongxing Road along the official road.

I have to say that Gangneung is really a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The city of Jiangling is located in the north of the Yangtze River, which means that if you attack it from the south, you must cross the Yangtze River. From the north, because of the terrain, you have to take the only official road leading from Jingmen Prefecture to Jiangling.

But even so, on the road from Jingmen Prefecture to Jiangling, there are still two checkpoints to pass (the information in my hand is incomplete, only two checkpoints have been found, but I don't know what these two checkpoints are called. ）。

However, after taking Changlin City, these two levels have already been won by Zhang Shihua at the first time.

Therefore, the two-day march was really smooth sailing for Zhang Shihua.

……

At night, nearly 40,000 black-clothed soldiers temporarily settled in the camp for the night, but Zhang Shihua and his brother Zhang Shihui were also talking about Jiangling City and Yu Junzheng.

"Hehe, big brother, I think that Yu Junzheng is a complete waste, according to our intelligence, this guy has been drinking and enjoying himself in the Laoshi Zihuai Palace in Jiangling City since he captured Jiangling City. Such a waste, you also collect his information to study what he did. ”

"Anyway, I think that dealing with this Yu Junzheng, inside and out, is just a matter of one or two charges from our army."

However, for his brother's words, Zhang Shihua put down the information, looked at him and said: "You, how many times have you told you, when will you be able to change your arrogance." After so many battles, I don't understand the simple truth of 'the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength'! ”

"Hehe, what the eldest brother reprimanded is, I understand, I understand." Zhang Shihui, who was reprimanded by Zhang Shihua, scratched his head, laughed awkwardly twice, rolled his eyes, and immediately opened the topic: "Big brother, no matter what, this time we can really say that we have made a lot of money." ”

"Wait until we capture Zhongxing Road, and after taking Xiazhou Road and Chuyang Mansion in time. Then the power of our black-clothed army has really more than doubled. ”

"Hehe, it's been less than a month since we sent our troops, and we have won such a large territory. At this rate, it is estimated that it will not take long for us to take down a province of the Yuanmeng Imperial Court. When the time comes, you will be the strongest No. 1 rebel in the world. ”

"At that time, it was not impossible for you, eldest brother, to be called Emperor Jianji, and to be on an equal footing with the emperor Lao'er of the Yuanmeng court."

Speaking of this, Zhang Shihui's face couldn't help but show a trace of excitement that could not be concealed.

Obviously, the big victories in the past few days have already made the generals and officers of the black-clothed army, including Zhang Shihua, have all developed ambitions. Especially generals like Zhang Shihui, who have a close relationship with Zhang Shihua and are from the same line as the Inspection Department. Their biggest dream now is to push Zhang Shihua to the throne of the emperor.

After all, if Zhang Shihua becomes the emperor, they will become the emperor as they say, and they will all become the founding ministers of the king and the marquis. Considering such a prospect, how could they not be excited.

However, for this, Zhang Shihua looked at his brother, but couldn't help but unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water on his head.

"That's enough, I see that you haven't been thinking about fighting for the past two days, and you're just thinking about daydreaming, aren't you? Conquering the city, how can it be as easy as you kid think. Let me tell you, the reason why we were able to achieve such a big result in this battle is not only because of the strength we have been holding back for many months, but also because this time we have pressed all our family resources. ”

"So, from the very beginning, we weren't fighting, we're gambling with our lives."

"This time, God gave us face, let us win the gamble, and get a take-all. What about next time, the next time you kid still want to play like this, you still think you will have such good luck! ”

"It won't be long before you take down a province, what do you think, you kid was kicked in the head by a horse. To tell you the truth, after laying down these places on Zhongxing Road, we will definitely become a thorn in the side of his Tartar at that time. ”

"At that point, we don't know what the hell we're going to be burnt up into. And what kind of bastard words are 'called Emperor Jianji', if you kid dare to say such bastard words again, you see that I won't break your legs! ”

After speaking, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but slap the table heavily.

Seeing Zhang Shihua's appearance, Zhang Shihui, who had been afraid of Zhang Shihua since he was a child, couldn't help but be frightened by Zhang Shihua, lowered his head, and didn't dare to speak anymore.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Shihua looked at him, waved his hand, and couldn't help but say, "Okay, let's go out." But if you're lazy like this for the past two days, you see that I don't beat your ass. ”

"Hey, big brother, I know, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore." Hearing Zhang Shihua say this, Zhang Shihui hurriedly agreed, and then this guy couldn't help but run out of the camp.

Looking at his back when he left, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.

……

At noon the next day, in the main hall of the Huaiwang Palace in Gangneung City.

"General, it's not good, something big is wrong, something is wrong!" One of the hundred households under Yu Junzheng's account shouted, and he came to the palace of King Huai.

"Bastard, what kind of body is it in a panic, didn't you see that General Ben was feasting!" was disturbed by Pingbai, and Yu Junzheng couldn't help but look very unhappy.

However, these hundred households did not pay attention to this, but shouted in despair: "General, it's not good, it's not good." That Zhang Shihua came over with the black-clothed army! ”

"What, what are you talking about, the black-clothed army is here!" Hearing this, Yu Junzheng's wine suddenly woke up.

"Bastard, you're dumb. Tell me quickly, how many soldiers and horses have come from the black-clothed army, and where have they been killed. ”

"General, we look at it from a distance, the black-clothed army between them is overwhelming, and there should be more than 40,000 soldiers and horses. Now these people have been killed twenty miles north of the city, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they will hit our Jiangling City. ”

"This, how dare this Zhang Shihua, I am a general canonized by the Tianwan Imperial Court, how dare he Zhang Shihua be like this, how dare he be like this." Although he pretends not to put Zhang Shihua's black-clothed army in his eyes on weekdays, the shadow of the lovely famous tree, Zhang Shihua has never been defeated in large and small battles since he started his army.

The black-clothed sergeants under his command are even more famous for their bravery and good fighting. So when he suddenly heard that Zhang Shihua was leading 40,000 black-clothed soldiers to attack him, he panicked, but he didn't know what to do.

"Big brother, don't panic, the black-clothed thief is only 40,000 soldiers and horses. Now that we have captured Gangneung City and gathered the people in the city, Hugh has to say that 40,000 horses, even 100,000 soldiers and horses can be raised. ”

"At that time, with an army of 100,000, we will attack him Zhang Shihua with 40,000 people, two and a half to fight one, are you still afraid that we will not be able to defeat him?" I have to say that Yu Juntai's words are indeed in the hearts of these people at this time. Therefore, after these words were left, the people in the palace also echoed them.

"Yes, the second general is right, it's just 40,000 people, it's not like we haven't seen it. This time, I Cai Laosan was willing to be a pioneer, brought tens of thousands of people, and killed him Zhang Shihua. At that time, even Jingmen and Anlu Mansion will be ours. ”

"Yes, General, I'm afraid he will do anything. He Zhang Shihua deceived people too much and did it with him. It's all two shoulders and one head, and I don't believe that their people can all be beaten with iron. All of a sudden, the palace was full of gossip, but it was full of voices asking for war.

"Good! Brothers, you are heroic. Damn, since he Zhang Shihua wants to be the one with bad rules, then don't blame us for being ruthless. Come on, pass on my military order, gather soldiers and horses for me, let's go meet that Zhang Shihua for a while, and see if he is as divine as he said. ”

Shouting like this, the people in the palace couldn't help but drink and smash the bowls, grabbed their weapons one by one, and went out of the palace like bandits descending from the mountain.

……

Almost an hour and a half later, in the north of Jiangling City, a chaotic array of righteous soldiers and horses poured out all of a sudden. The number of soldiers and horses in this army seems to be more than 50,000 people, and there is a big banner of Yu characters behind the battle, obviously this army is Yu Junzheng's men and horses.

"Haha, big brother. Look, there are more than 50,000 of us here. I don't believe that he, Zhang Shihua, can be our opponent with only 40,000 people. When the time comes, you will be here to watch with confidence, brother, I will definitely cut off the head of Zhang Shihua to serve you wine, eldest brother. ”

As he spoke, Yu Juntai urged his crotch to get off his horse, and he couldn't help but run to the front of the battle.

And it was at this time that only the sound of war drums could be faintly heard from the north. Yu Junzheng stood on the horse and looked at it, but he couldn't help but see a black tide that had been killed in the north, beating war drums and shouting slogans, and he pressed towards them in a mighty way.

"General, look, the black-clothed army is here!"

"Haha, that's a good time. Don't be afraid, beat the drums of war for me, and see how I defeat these thieves in black this time. "Pretending to shout. To his subordinates, Yu Juntai couldn't help but look like he was in his chest.

Obviously, he still didn't know what kind of terrible enemy he was facing.

So, I have to say that sometimes, it's really the ignorant who is fearless.
