"Tang Wang ran away? But go to Lingling and retreat into Huguang? ”

Liu Wenxiu was one of Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons, and now although Zhu Cihuan, the king of Yong, is the main one, and has become the king of Shu in the Ming Dynasty, he is very taboo about the experience of being a peasant rebel, and it is very polite to mention that Zhu Yujian is a clan, although he does not recognize him as the emperor, but he also has to be called the king of Tang.

"No, King Tang led his army over the South Ridge and went to Daozhou and Lianzhou in the southeast, and it seems that he does not plan to stay in Huguang, but to go to Guangdong." The answer was Lu Mingchen, one of the top generals under Liu Wenxiu, who had been commanding battles on the Guilin front these days.

"Oh? King Tang killed himself, a good thing! Guyuan waited for Wang Shangli to shoot the case, and excitedly asked Liu Wenxiu for an order: "The last general is willing to lead a thousand elite horsemen to chase Zhu Yujian and capture him alive." ”

"It's that simple!" Another general named Gao Wengui smiled coldly: "King Tang's soldiers and horses are not clay wood carvings, and your Wang Shangli is not three-headed and six-armed, only bring a thousand cavalry, don't catch King Tang, you will make a fuss." ”

With a bang, Wang Shangli's riding boots stepped on the table, pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist, pointed at Gao Wengui and scolded: "Damn, you kid is out of breath, dare to talk to me like this!" ”

In the era of Zhang Xianzhong, Wang Shangli was a general in the army, on an equal footing with Feng Shuangli, Bai Wenxuan and others, and his status was second only to Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi, the four righteous sons.

"Come on, I'm still afraid of you!"

Gao Wengui is also a hot temper, and when he kicks the table, he has to be right with Wang Shangli.

As Li Dingguo's confidant and favorite general, he has long been dissatisfied with Sun Kewang's family, and he looks down on Wang Shangli, who surrounds Sun Kewang all day long, and Sun Kewang is respected by Sun Kewang, but Sun Kewang is very jealous of Li Dingguo, and once publicly beat Li Dingguo with a whip, since then the contradictions between the two have become public, and the generals of the two factions of King Qin and King Jin are also needle-pointed, and they pinch each other when they meet.

"What's the fuss? is noisy in the big tent of the Chinese army, do you still have this king in your eyes, and there is still military law? Liu Wenxiu, as the king of Shu and the supreme commander of the western army in Guangxi, since he is angry, he can still suppress the generals, Gao Wengui bowed down and pleaded guilty, Wang Shangli also sneered twice, sat down again, and Liu Wenxiu persuaded each of them a few words, turning this small turmoil into invisibility.

"What a headache!" Liu Wenxiu's heart is actually very helpless, among the three kings of the Western Army, Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo's strength is much stronger than him, the two are fighting openly and secretly, and he is very uncomfortable in the middle, such as this Guangxi battle, Wang Shangli and Gao Wengui belong to Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo's faction respectively, Liu Wenxiu has a lot of concerns when he commands them, unlike his own Lu Mingchen.

He thought for a while and said: "Nanling is heavy and dense forests, which is not conducive to cavalry combat, and it is indeed a bit risky to only send light cavalry to chase after it, but since the king of Tang abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, he did not retreat to the safest Huguang, it is indeed a good opportunity that cannot be missed, as long as the king of Tang can be eliminated, whether he is captured alive or killed, the Longwu court will fall apart, and the world can be ......."

"It's strange, why didn't Zhu Yujian leave Huguang alone, and had to go over the mountains and mountains to Daozhou and Lianzhou?" After Wang Shangli calmed down, he felt that there must be a demon when something went wrong, and interjected: "There shouldn't be any deception in this, is it a trick to lure the enemy."

？ ”

"It's possible, King Tang's courage has always been not small, I heard that when he was in Tingzhou, he used to lure the enemy alone, this time it may be really a repeat of the old trick." Lu Mingchen agreed, turned his head again, and asked Gao Wengui, who was still angry with a strained face, "Old Gao, what do you think?" ”

Gao Wengui didn't think about it, and replied angrily: "Don't scare yourself, there are few people around Tang Wang who can fight, maybe it was an old gentleman who talked on paper gave him this bad idea, afraid that we would chase their butts into Huguang, so he ran to Lianzhou with a false shot, hum, anyway, Lianzhou is not far from the map, and those straw bales will be blindly commanded." ”

"!" Wang Shangli pouted and said: "Even if Zhu Yujian doesn't know soldiers, there are always a few people around him who understand, Tang Wang and Tatar have been fighting for several years, even a group of pigs have learned to eat, there must be something strange in this!" ”

"Yes, if others don't say it, that Yinxi should be regarded as a soldier, and he will go to Daozhou far away, how can he not know the risk of going to Lianzhou?" Lu Mingchen felt that Wang Shangli had a big temper, so whether he agreed with his opinion or not, he spoke according to his meaning first.

"What are the faces of those big masters who are officials, don't you know yet? If they weren't blindly commanding, would they have lost this flower? Gao Wengui sneered: "Anyway, Zhu Yujian went to Daozhou, so I can't let him go without watching him." ”

Wang Shangli heard his words with bones in his heart, and his face changed and he was about to go crazy, but he heard Liu Wenxiu say in a deep voice: "Yes, no matter what conspiracies and tricks, we must seize this opportunity, we must not miss the opportunity, we will not come again, fighting this battle in Daozhou is safer than going deep into the hinterland of Huguang, otherwise, this king will not be able to explain to the two righteous brothers, and will not be able to explain to the Yongwang Jianguo." ”

Yongwang Zhu Cihuan has not yet been called the emperor at this time, but only supervises the country, so Liu Wenxiu is commensurate with the prison country, and inadvertently, he also put Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo in front of him.

"After all, it is a group of martial artists, who only know to find the reason from the military point of view, this is obviously an internal bargain within the Tang Dynasty, Chu Xun had the upper hand at the beginning, and now he is the leader of the Southern Party, so he will suddenly turn around and go to Guangdong. It seems that Zhu Yujian's side has not been peaceful these days. Liu Wenxiu smiled in his heart, and did not explain the reason to Wang Shangli and others, he is now in a high position, and he is in a complex power whirlpool every day, and he is very familiar with these intrigues, but in his opinion, a military general should be a simple-minded martial artist, just dare to fight and kill, there is no need to be contaminated with these messy things.

"Chuan Ben Wang will order, mobilize Feng Shuangli and Bai Wenxuan, divide the troops into three routes, and march to Daozhou......"

After Liu Wenxiu captured Guilin, the reason why he did not take advantage of the victory to attack Emperor Longwu hiding in Quanzhou was mainly because he was afraid of the Chu army that was close at hand, in the eyes of Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, although Wang Kefan's Chu army was nominally a subordinate of Emperor Longwu, but like Zheng Chenggong, Jin Shenghuan and others, they were actually their own forces, but their strength was stronger, unless they were sure of victory, otherwise Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were unwilling to start a full-scale war with the Chu army.

Quanzhou is less than 100 miles away from Huguang, if you attack Quanzhou, the Chu army in Huguang will send troops to help, will it be a war or not?

If Emperor Longwu retreats into the hinterland of Huguang, will he chase or not?

Emperor Longwu and Wang Kefan were originally full of contradictions, if the Western Army pressed too hard, it might unite them, which Liu Wenxiu absolutely did not want to see.

But now it's different, Long

Since Emperor Wu turned to Guangdong, it means that the contradiction between him and Wang Kefan has intensified, without the protection of the Chu army, Liu Wenxiu really does not take the tens of thousands of long military troops in his eyes, as long as he wins this battle and eliminates Zhu Yujian, he can take advantage of the victory to advance into Liangguang, open the way to the east for the development of the western army, and at the same time get rid of the biggest competitor for the Yongwang Zhu Cihuan.

For this battle related to the fortune of the country, Liu Wenxiu invested all the troops at hand, not only sent Wang Shangli, Lu Mingchen and Gao Wengui's troops, but also ordered Feng Shuangli and Bai Wenxuan, who were attacking Wuzhou, to suspend the attack and attack Daozhou separately, forming an absolute superiority in the strength of the Longwu army.

The short period of tranquility after the capture of Guilin just allowed the Western Army to get a rest, and now it is launched again, it is the momentum of thunder, Wang, Lu, Gao, Feng Shuangli, Bai Wenxuan are all generals who can conquer and fight, and there are many veterans who follow the Eight Kings to fight in the south and the north, Liu Wenxiu is sure that even if Emperor Longwu really sets up an ambush in Daozhou, the Western Army has enough strength to smash it!

The military orders were like mountains, the military orders were like fire, and tens of thousands of Western troops slaughtered towards Daozhou with great momentum.

……

Three hundred miles away at the junction of Hunan and Guizhou, there is also a mighty army marching towards Daozhou.

Compared with when he left Huguang, Liu Fangliang's face was a little more weathered, in the past few years, he has to worry about all military and political affairs, which makes him feel exhausted, Liu Fangliang has realized that he may be a good general, but he is not a qualified commander, let alone a leader like Li Zicheng who can raise the flag and stand on his own.

With your back against a big tree, you can enjoy the shade.

Although he never mentioned it to anyone, Liu Fangliang regretted it several times, perhaps, the choice to leave Huguang was too impulsive, I heard that Yuan Zongdi and Tian Jianxiu are now mixing well, and even the younger generation of Li Laiheng has also come out, leading the army into Henan to turn the world upside down, and it is really out of the limelight.

Liu Fangliang is more and more confused, he and the party Shousu, He Zhen formed an alliance, just returned to Shaanxi when he also fought a few victories, almost captured the provincial capital Xi'an, but after several siege setbacks, there is no base and the hidden danger of backup was exposed, Liu Fangliang and others fought hard for several months, still failed to gain a foothold in Shaanxi, after the Great Western Army went north, Sichuan could not stay, and then waited until Wu Sangui invaded Hanzhong, He Zhen's nest was also taken away by the Qing army, so he had to go south to find another way out.

The road ahead is long, and the future is uncertain.

While thinking wildly, He Zhen and Dang Shousu came to his side.

"Brother, what I told you a few days ago, you think about it again, I heard that the Western Army has captured Guilin, why should we go to this troubled water? Voting for Wang Kefan is also a way out. He Zhen persuaded bitterly: "I heard that the Holy Lord and Wang Kefan are not in harmony, why should we go against the Chu army?" In my opinion, in this world, the surname Zhu or the surname Wang in the future, I can't say for sure! ”

There are not many soldiers and horses left of Dang Shousu and He Zhen, Liu Fangliang is the backbone of the three, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly urged the horse to rush forward, throwing down a sentence and never looking back: "Good horses don't eat back grass!" ”

Why don't good horses eat back grass? Because the grass is not delicious, the fattest grass has been eaten, and the remaining grass roots are not enough to eat, and it is difficult to digest, Liu Fangliang would rather fight on Emperor Longwu than go back to the Chu army and send people under the fence.

"Alas!" Dang Shousu and He Zhen glanced at each other helplessly, and also chased after them.

Wonderful!
