No matter how nice the generals under his command are, Wu Xiang always has a gloomy face. Although he became an earl, he was essentially a merchant. Every time you fight, you will make a profit or a loss.

Don't look at the battle during the day, on the surface, it looks like the official army defeated the thieves. But in reality, his heart was dripping blood. It's just one day, and the three hundred rides are gone, so how much money do you have to lose!

In this era, only when there are soldiers in the hands can there be power. For example, this knighthood is not because there are more elite soldiers in his hands than other general soldiers, so he was able to win the selection of the new army, but this is all raised with money.

After coming to Datong, he had just rebuilt the family team with the resources in his hands, and he encountered the imperial court to make up the arrears, and once again explicitly prohibited the deduction of military salaries.

The eldest brother-in-law, Zu Dashou, was in Beijing, and there was also news that he should not commit crimes against the wind. The emperor has already set his sights on the army, and the next big move is to rectify the army. No matter who wants to rise at this time, they can't bear the emperor's wrath!

In this way, the military salary cannot be deducted, where will the money come from to support the family? Now these family members are his capital in Datong, one less is one, not to mention that there are three hundred cavalry missing, how can he not feel distressed!

Wu Xiang thought so, was in a bad mood, broke up the military discussion early, and decided to wait for tomorrow dawn to see the opportunity to act. If he wants to fight his subordinates to defeat the thieves, he will definitely not do it!

Similar to this side, the military discussion on the thief's side is also extremely disturbing. Leaders from all walks of life accuse each other, and there are people who slap the table and scold their mothers. Those who suffered heavy losses screamed even louder, as if they had been dug out of their hearts and lungs.

It is also thanks to Wang Jiayin that he is a person who is very deep in the city, trying to suppress his anger and trying his best to coordinate the contradictions between the leaders of various roads. Again and again, it was reiterated that everyone should understand the situation in front of them, and that only by defeating the Datong General Army could the rebel army break out of the encirclement of the official army. Only by sincere cooperation can there be hope for victory.

With his efforts, Zhang Xianzhong first patted his chest at the meeting, saying that he must die tomorrow. Liu Guoneng echoed it, saying that he was not prepared for this today, and he will definitely rush to the front tomorrow, whether it is a hero or a bear, everyone will look at it tomorrow.

With the two of them taking the lead, Wang Jiayin's ideological work was done more smoothly, and the other leaders followed suit, saying that they would definitely do their best in the battle tomorrow.

In the end, Wang Jiayin was finally satisfied in his heart, and he said to all the leaders with a very sincere face: "Wang Mou has been valued by all the brothers and has become the leader of this alliance, so he has to do his best!" Although we have a lot of people, to tell the truth, if the imperial court is surrounded by three armies, there is no chance of victory. ”

Hearing him say such things, all the leaders calmed down and looked at him. None of them are brainless people, and they are not arrogant enough to think that they can win the army of the three-way court with just a large number of people. In fact, in terms of the battle situation during the day, just facing the Datong general soldiers, you can see that the number of people does not represent victory!

"Wang is not Zhuge Liang, there is no way to calculate when the White Pole Army and the Yansui Army will arrive in Dai County, but just in case, we should still defeat the army led by the merchant as soon as possible, and break through the siege as soon as possible, and be safe as soon as possible!" When Wang Jiayin said this, he made a very solemn request: "As soon as the sky dawns tomorrow, we will launch an attack without waiting for the officers and troops to be ready, so that we can give full play to our numerical superiority." Brothers, fight to the death! ”

"Fight to the death!" Wang Zi was the first to respond, shouting loudly.

Zhang Xianzhong did not lag behind, and shouted with his fists: "Fight to the death!" ”

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

“……”

No matter what the other leaders thought in their hearts, at this moment, they all responded.

"Good!" Wang Jiayin was overjoyed, and said to all the leaders: "In this way, brothers go back to rest early!" Remember, tomorrow at dawn, as long as you can see the road, when the drums sound, it will be when you attack Wu Xiang's army together, brothers, after the battle, you will have a good meal! ”

The military meeting of the thieves ended, and the leaders of the familiar land left in twos and threes. Among them, Liu Guoneng shouted Zhang Xianzhong to go together, and they discussed loudly how to fight to the death tomorrow as they walked. even went to the ground and entered Zhang Xianzhong's camp together, as if his desire was unfinished.

Outsiders would never have imagined that as soon as Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Guoneng entered the camp tent, they immediately sat on their own side, looked at the only third person in the camp, that is, Zhang Dingguo, and asked him to contact the court officials and soldiers immediately.

So, in the tent, Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Guoneng drank wine and ate meat, and a child was sitting next to them in a daze. If an outsider accidentally breaks in, he will definitely not find anything.

At this time, in the chat group, Emperor Chongzhen had already pulled a temporary group and pulled Zhang Dingguo, Lu Ruipeng, Zhang Fengyi and Sun Chuanting into it. At this time, no matter how much achievement points are consumed per hour, it is worth it.

In this temporary group, there was no need to chat privately, Zhang Dingguo first talked about the situation of the battle, and then talked about the content of the military meeting of the thieves in the evening.

In the end, Zhang Dingguo conveyed Zhang Xianzhong's words: "My father-in-law said, can the White Pole Army and the Yansui Army arrive tonight?" Otherwise, I am afraid that the headquarters of the Datong General Army will not be able to stop the offensive early tomorrow morning. ”

After Zhang Dingguo's retelling, Emperor Chongzhen already understood that the general army of Datong was advancing rashly, so that there was a huge difference between the number of the thief army. Although the Datong General Army is indeed more elite than the thieves, this advantage is difficult to offset the difference in numbers.

Therefore, after listening to Zhang Dingguo's words, he immediately asked: "How, can you arrive in time?" ”

"My unit is traveling day and night, and I'm afraid we will have to arrive tomorrow morning, and we still need to rest before we can go into battle." Zhang Fengyi replied first, or understood the identity of the group leader, so he explained, "Most of our troops are infantry troops, and the speed is already the fastest!" ”

The white pole army is indeed mostly an infantry army, although there are also cavalry troops, but Qin Liangyu took some with him when he returned to Sichuan, and left some in the important town of Xuanfu, and there were really not many people who came out to suppress thieves together.

Emperor Chongzhen also understood this situation, so he pinned his hopes on the other side.

Lu Ruipeng's answer was a little slow, and he should have asked Hong Chengchou before he replied: "The distance of the Yansui army is relatively far, and the cavalry will not be able to reach Daixian until noon tomorrow at the earliest." ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, so that the two groups of people could not reach the battlefield in time. If the thieves defeat Wu Xiangjun early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid they will be able to run out of the encirclement!

The reason why the thieves are so harmful is that they wander around a place and harm the livelihood of the people in a place, which is extremely harmful to the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, I heard Zhang Fengyi speak again: "If the Datong army fights to the death, it can hold on for half a day at most, and then you can catch up!" ”
