Chapter 86: General Zuo Xiao's Cavalry Guard
Yangwu is only a small county town, with few soldiers and a thin city, and it was captured by the righteous army in less than a day, and Fang Chengtian's cavalry battalion did not even have a chance to fight.
Wang Xianzhi still adopted the strategy after capturing Ruzhou, plundered a lot, and drove all the people to Luoyang.
When Fang Chengtian set out from Ruzhou, he asked Wang Xianzhi, why did he plunder the people?
Wang Xianzhi said with a smile: "If I don't give this order, I can't stop the soldiers from plundering the people, it's better to restrain the soldiers a little and let the people have a way to live, anyway, the entire Henan Road is full of Tang troops from all walks of life, and after the people escape, they won't care." ”
Fang Chengtian also smiled and said, "I think Brother Wang, your purpose is to let the people bring out the news of how powerful the grass army is, so that the imperial court will pay more attention to us, right?!" ”
Wang Xianzhi laughed and said yes.
Bloody in the wind, bloody!
The corpses of Yangwu City were piled up like a mountain, and the blood was flowing like a river, Fang Chengtian was standing at the head of the city, watching the soldiers of the Xiaocai Battalion collect the corpses of the two armies killed in the battle and deal with them in a centralized manner.
The people who had fled from the city fled to the west in panic under the deliberate drive of the rebels.
The wind was already a little cold, blowing on the face like a knife.
"Alas~~" Fang Chengtian came to the city, looked into the distance, and sighed heavily.
It has been nearly three months since he and Master went down the mountain, and in more than a month, the Chinese New Year will begin.
"General Fang is really here!"
Suddenly, a heroic voice came from behind Fang Chengtian, and when he looked back, Huang Chao was walking towards him with a big smile, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "General Huang!" ”
Huang Chao nodded, stood beside him, and said slowly: "General Fang, General Ben saw that you led the troops well, and the heavy cavalry battalion was in your hands, and he defeated more than 1,000 elites of the Tang army with only two hundred; This Xiao cavalry battalion is in your hands, and it is even more reborn, so this general wants to mention you as the general of the Zuo Xiao cavalry guard, I don't know what you think? ”
Fang Chengtian was shocked, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, as Brother Wang expected, it seems that this General Huang really wants to recruit me." He looked at the Yellow Nest.
Huang Chao wore a talented green jacket today, which made his ugly and fierce appearance more scholarly.
Seeing his hands first, then his feet, no one could have imagined that he would be dressed like this.
Fang Chengtian looked at him and suddenly felt that he was a little interesting.
Huang Chao also looked down at himself and said with a smile: "Does General Fang think that this great general is wearing this clothes, it is a little strange. ”
Fang Chengtian nodded.
Huang Chao said with a smile: "Actually, before the big general, he was a tried and failed talent, maybe it was because he couldn't get it, the more eager he was, so occasionally I would wear this dress and pretend to be a romantic talent, haha~~~"
As he spoke, he looked at Fang Chengtian and said, "Okay, don't talk about me." What do you think of what I just told you? ”
Fang Chengtian frowned, if he agreed to him directly, it would seem that he was too fake.
With his eyes flashing, he clenched his fists and said, "Thank you General Huang for your support, it's just that the last general thinks that his ability is limited......"
Huang Chao waved his hand, cut off his words, and said: "General Fang's words are too modest, the changes in the Xiao Cavalry Battalion since it arrived in your hands, General Ben can see it clearly!" Okay, this matter is settled, I will go to General Wang to talk about it now! ”
After saying that, he turned and walked straight away.
Fang Chengtian was stunned, looked at Huang Chao's back, and secretly said that this General Huang was really decisive, it seemed that he was discussing with himself, but in fact, he had no room to refuse at all, I was afraid that no matter what he said, he would not be able to change his mind, he did this just to reflect his courtesy corporal.
It wasn't until Huang Chao was about to walk down the stairs that he clenched his fists and said loudly: "The last general, thank you General Huang for cultivating!" ”
Huang Chao stopped, looked back at him, smiled, and turned away.
Fang Chengtian retracted his gaze and looked into the distance, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and said, "Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guard......"
The night has come, and it is dark in Yangwu City, and there is only one place, which is full of lights, so lively.
In the Yangwu County Commander's Mansion, the senior generals of the Righteous Army gathered together, just to celebrate a small general of Zuo Xiao's cavalry!
Fang Chengtian sat next to Huang Chao, looking at the generals who were bigger than his own officials, Shang Junchang, Shang Rang, Bi Shiduo, Cao Shixiong, Huang Cun, Huang Ye, Lin Yan and other ticket commanders toasted him one after another, and behaved extremely respectfully, he only felt that his head was too big.
He looked at Wang Xianzhi, and really hoped that he could stand up and relieve himself, but General Wang also turned into a drama at the moment, singing a big drama, only to see him deliberately stretching his face and drinking alone, as if he was very unhappy that Huang Chao robbed him.
The more General Wang was like this, the happier Huang Chao seemed to be, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and kept praising Fang Chengtian.
Killing? Is he trying to kill me?! Fang Chengtian couldn't help but have this kind of thought, especially when he saw some generals who were respectful on the surface, but their eyes were full of contempt and dissatisfaction.
At this moment, the spies brought another happy event.
This is a happy event that makes Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao happy!
Li Yi, the son of Li Tang, ordered a "Xuanfu Eastern Capital Officials", sent the counselor Yang Zhu and the Ministry of Industry member Li Chao to Luoyang, pardoned Wang Xianzhi, the leader of the grass army, and other crimes of rebellion, and promised high-ranking officials!
After listening to the spy report, Huang Chao slapped the table and laughed: "Hahaha, brothers, have you seen that the court actually said that it would pardon our crimes and give it to the official, what does this mean?" What does this mean?! ”
He paused, and asked himself: "It means that the imperial court is afraid of us!" Hahaha~~~"
"General Huang is right, the court is scared."
"Xu Guan? Who is rare, the brothers said that it is not! ”
"Yes, when we conquer Chang'an, all of them are the founding heroes."
......
When everyone heard this, they were all very excited.
Fang Chengtian glanced at Wang Xianzhi quietly, only to see General Wang also looking at him with a smile, and the two couldn't help but smile at each other.
Huang Chao pressed his hand, everyone suddenly quieted down, he looked at Wang Xianzhi, and said loudly: "Brother Wang, now that the imperial court is recruiting us, the Tang army from all walks of life will definitely wait and see for a while, let's seize this opportunity to quickly capture Luoyang and march into Guanzhong!" ”
Wang Xianzhi shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Huang Xian, don't fall for the tricks of the imperial court!" Who knows if this is a sham? ”
Huang Chao laughed and said: "Brother Wang, you are just cowardly, we are not really going to surrender, but to take the opportunity to attack, even if they have any tricks, what is the use of us not accepting the move?" ”
"Yes, Brother Huang is right!"
"Yes, yes, this is a rare opportunity, we can't miss it!"
......
The voters responded to the Yellow Nest.
Wang Xianzhi's face sank, and he suddenly smiled again: "Brother Huang Xian, let's leave aside whether the surrender is true or not, but it is true that the envoys of the five festivals are encircling us, even if we capture Luoyang, but being surrounded by them, it is a dead end!" ”
When the voters heard this, they frowned again, and some of them nodded slightly, agreeing with General Wang's words.
"And ......" Wang Xianzhi paused, his eyes swept over everyone, and continued: "I think it's a bit inappropriate to attack Zhengzhou, we should bypass it and go south directly to attack the Shannan Dongdao Prefectures!" ”
Huang Chao frowned, pondered for a moment, his eyes fell on Fang Chengtian, and said, "General Fang, do you think it's better for us to take Luoyang directly, or go south?" ”
