Regardless of whether it is the intrusive army, the official army, or even the Tartars outside the pass, those so-called horse exploration and cavalry are just good to hear, and in the final analysis, they are nothing more than a small number of light cavalry breaking away from the large army and acting alone.

These men either work in groups of two or three, or ride alone, but they often have to go deep into enemy territory to find out the real situation for the subsequent army and generals, although these do not stand out on the battlefield, but before a battle begins, they are an important factor in the two sides to take advantage.

Generally speaking, these reconnaissance light cavalry are generally highly experienced and sophisticated people, such as the Chuang Army, which was personally selected by the former army general Liu Zongmin, and the Qing army also entrusted those experienced horse armors with this responsibility.

But the Shandong army is different, they are more like this so-called reconnaissance as a process of exercise, the cavalry battalion commanded by Quan Zhuo is divided into two parts, one is the regular soldier to explore the horse, and the other is the soldier.

If a scout horse successfully enters the establishment of the war and becomes an ironclad cavalry that can go into battle, it often means that he has made some achievements in the team's scouting horses, and he has enough ability in terms of qualifications and military merits, so he will be allowed to put on armor and go into battle.

At this time, outside the camp of the breaking army, an old battalion horseman came back in a hurry, rushed all the way to the big tent unimpeded, and reported loudly:

"King Chuang, Eight Kings, there is movement in the Shandong Army!"

Hearing this, Li Zicheng, who was still talking and laughing with Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, suddenly paid attention, looked over and asked:

"Come on, did Deng Heizi bring Shandong soldiers out?"

The horseman nodded, gasped, and said:

"Deng Heizi, the commander of the Shandong army, has been swearing in Licheng some time ago, and he should not have played the boundaries of Shandong yet, but those two called Xing Yidao and Shao Yong have already come to Guide Mansion first, and now they have entered Tuocheng and Suizhou respectively!"

Li Zicheng frowned and muttered:

"The movement of this Shandong army is quite fast, where is the loyal and martyred king now?"

"Shang was delayed in Liaodong by the Eastern Prisoner!"

Although the horse soldier was not sure of the truth of the news in his heart, he still said it openly, and those who didn't know seemed to think that he was very sure.

"King Chuang, give me 5,000 fine horses, and I will complete the first battle into Keshan Shandong!"

Seeing the earth-shattering sound of Zhang Xianzhong's chest, Li Zicheng became suspicious, and was silent for a long time, neither promising Zhang Xianzhong 5,000 fine horses, nor saying that he would not let him go.

At this time, Niu Jinxing, the military advisor on the side, stood up and said with a smile:

"The body of the Eight Kings of Wanjin, how can they take the lead like the people of Chimin, or sit in the back and watch King Chuang defeat the Shandong army and occupy Guide Mansion!"

Niu Jinxing said, and Song Xiance also nodded again and again on the side.

"! What's wrong with the people of Chimin, I am also a people of Chimin, why can't I take the lead! Zhang Xianzhong's face turned red, and he immediately scolded angrily.

In fact, when Luo Rucai saw Li Zicheng's appearance of a small-bellied chicken intestine, he immediately thought of leaving, obviously still thinking about Zhang Xianzhong's refusal to surrender a few days ago.

Thinking of this, Luo Rucai saw that Zhang Xianzhong was about to be furious, and immediately stood up and became a peacemaker again, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Niu is right, the Eight Kings, this is what King Chuang means, how can you and I not respect it?"

As he spoke, Luo Rucai was about to press Zhang Xianzhong on the seat.

Zhang Xianzhong had a lot of strength, and at first he almost broke free with a subconscious flick, but suddenly he felt that the hand on his shoulder was pressed three times, and he was stunned to look at Luo Rucai and saw that he was squeezing his eyebrows at him.

What is this Cao Cao doing?

Zhang Xianzhong wondered, and his movements gradually relaxed, and he was pressed back by Luo Rucai, who was not as strong as him.

......

"The surname is Luo, what do you mean by that?"

As soon as he walked out of the tent, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't wait to ask, Luo Rucai "shh

"Eight kings, this is a camp, there are many people and it is inconvenient to talk, one only said to give you five hundred fine horses, the eight kings can use this to dominate the world and fish into the river!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong was even more puzzled.

I only got along with Luo Rucai some time ago, this guy's heart is so big, he forgot it all in a few months?

At present, Zhang Xianzhong needs the capital to start a business, and Li Zicheng knows this, so he sends people to guard him day and night, wanting to bind him to his side and not pose a threat to the intruding army.

Zhang Xianzhong also understands this truth very well, but Luo Rucai is nicknamed "Cao Cao", and he is scheming, so he doesn't have any intention of guarding himself.

Just thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong saw Luo Rucai stuffing a wooden card into his hand and said:

"The eight kings have great ambitions, and the king is narrow, you and I will only be angry for a lifetime if we continue to stay here, only if you go first, you will have a chance to escape!"

Seeing Luo Rucai leave in a hurry after speaking, Zhang Xianzhong understood that Luo Rucai was really selfish, but after thinking about it carefully, his selfishness was indeed beneficial to himself.

Sneakily glanced around, Zhang Xianzhong immediately went to contact his subordinates, preparing to leave the camp and enter Anhui at night, only by entering there, he could make a handy comeback.

......

At night, in one of the tents in the camp, a man who looked like a scribe was holding a book and reading it carefully in front of an oil lamp.

"Dad, it's not good."

Suddenly, a young man about twenty years old walked in quickly, and when he heard what he said, Niu Jinxing only frowned slightly, and said without raising his head:

"Son, how many times have I told you for my father, now you and my father and son are also famous people, and you must act steadily, don't be in a hurry at every turn, isn't there still King Chuang on top when the sky falls."

Niu Jinxing became a showman in his twenties, and soon became a lifter, but he defected to a thief with a very bad reputation at that time, and was willing to do it, so he had a very bad reputation among the Ming Shilin and the official class.

But since following Li Zicheng, although his reputation has been stinking day by day, his life has become richer and richer, and his status in the army has also continued to improve because he has put forward several obvious but effective strategies.

At the beginning of the year, Li Zicheng bought a lot of mansions and fertile fields for Niu Jinxing in western Henan, so every day is full of fine clothes and food, and his vision and city government have been improved to a higher level.

Hearing his words, Niu Yan stopped suddenly, breathed a few sighs of relief, and said hurriedly:

"Dad, a guerrilla mutiny in the imperial court surnamed Zhou in Ningling was a trivial matter the day before yesterday, but Shao Yong, the military land of Shandong, actually rushed over with soldiers and horses to cut off his head."

Niu Jinxing put down the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his hand and groaned:

"Shao Yong is the chief general of the Shandong Army in Dongchang Mansion, at first he was just a smuggled salt seller, and it took only a few days to fight all the way up with the King of Zhongliebo."

Niu Jinxing said this, snorted coldly and continued:

"The Shandong army is ironclad, this time it seems that Shao Yong rushed to quell the chaos, but in fact, he has been prepared for a long time, and I am afraid that they will provoke this troublesome matter."

"If this kind of pediatric behavior can't be seen by the father, then he won't be the military advisor of the king."
