Chenzhou Mansion City Yuan Mausoleum, outside the north gate, the soldiers of the Chu army stood in formation, and the muzzle of the black hole was facing the city tower, posing as if they were attacking the city at any time.

The defenders in the city were like facing the enemy, the horn of the alarm sounded violently, a team of soldiers rushed to the head of the city to be on guard, suddenly a cannon sounded in the city, the drawbridge on the moat was slowly lowered, the closed city gate was pushed open from the inside, and Liu Chengyin rushed out with a thousand men and horses.

After the two armies faced each other, the lieutenant general of the Chenzhou army moved forward, Liu Chengyin urged the horse out of the formation, glanced at the flag on the opposite side coldly, and raised his voice and shouted: "Is it the Chu army that is coming?" General Liu Chengyin, please ask Wang Junmen to come out and speak. ”

A horse flashed out of the Chu army's array, and the general immediately was Teng Shuanglin: "Liu Tieba, you plundered the military rations and detained the court officials privately, Wang Junmen ordered me to take you, don't get off the horse and tie yourself, follow me to the military gate to ask for guilt!" ”

Everyone is not a three-year-old child, no one wants to deceive anyone, Teng Shuanglin directly buttoned his big hat, you either obey softly, or start fighting, don't waste time going around.

Liu Chengyin was furious, pulled out a gilded iron rod from the victory hook, shook a golden yellow light in the wind, and rushed towards Teng Shuanglin. is different from the storytelling, in this era, except for when the two armies are facing each other, there are few generals who fight alone, but today it is a friendly army, and if you are weak, you will be deflated, Liu Chengyin is desperate to take some risks, and he also wants to kill the prestige of the other party.

In Liu Chengyin's view, the Chu army was nothing more than a bluff, and he had more than 30,000 men and horses, guarding most of the Chenzhou and Baoqing prefectures, which had a decisive impact on the war situation in Hunan. How could Wang Kefan easily order the fire to merge? Teng Shuanglin was originally a weak scholar, but he smashed his fart and urine with a stick, and fled in embarrassment. Let's see who dares to come to their own trouble!

"In the army, only anyone's fists are harder, and Lao Tzu is bullying you, a talented soldier!" Liu Chengyin rushed forward, a hideous sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the gilded iron rod in his hand formed a yellow circle of light, trying to make himself look more fierce.

It stands to reason that Teng Shuanglin should immediately turn his horse and flee for his life, but he stood there and didn't move. As if he was scared stupid, Liu Chengyin quickly calculated in his heart, should he directly capture him alive? Or a stick that knocked over his warhorse?

At this time. As soon as the flag door in the Chu army array opened, another general rushed out, and the war horse under the general's crotch came so quickly, Liu Chengyin just raised the iron rod. The man was already in the way. The bamboo whip in his hand swung at the slur, and the gilded iron rod was set up with a bang.

That's a lot of strength! Liu Chengyin was shocked, he joined the army since he was a child, skilled in martial arts, climbed to today's position with an iron rod, and rarely met opponents in the land of Sanxiang, but this person in front of him was understated, only with a bamboo whip weighing twelve or thirteen pounds. He casually set up the heavy iron rod.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Yuan Zongdi." Yuan Zongdi was the only general in the army, and local warlords like Liu Chengyin did not have a wide vision. The experience of battlefield fighting is limited, and although the martial arts are not bad, they are not enough to see in front of him.

Liu Chengyin's face changed suddenly, he secretly kicked the horse's stomach with his heel, and flashed more than ten steps to the side, he didn't expect that there were such fierce generals in the opponent's formation, he wanted to humiliate Teng Shuanglin, but he was humiliated if he didn't do it...... Fortunately, Yuan Zongdi's self-respecting identity did not continue to fight, otherwise, it would be Liu Chengyin's turn to flee by himself.

"It turned out to be General Yuan, disrespectful!" Liu Chengyin's face was a little more solemn, but his eyes were still full of hostility, and he asked: "Why, did the loyal battalion not respect the order to block the military gate and join Wang Junmen?" ”

"As the commander of Wang Junmen, he controls both sides of the Yangtze River, so what's wrong with me following his orders?" Yuan Zongdi smiled and said: "Everyone is a friendly army, there is no need to fight and kill, I am here to talk to the two of you today, return the food to General Teng, and release the arrested people, even if this matter is written off, how about it?" ”

This is clearly bullying people and pulling the shelf! Liu Chengyin's gaze became more and more gloomy: "The two families of the Loyal Battalion and the Chu Army have joined forces, it seems that they have decided to eat me?" ”

Teng Shuanglin nodded: "Yes, it's up to you." ”

This was too annoying, Yuan Zongdi glanced at him, smiled and pulled the horse back, and stood behind him.

"For General Yuan's sake, I won't bother with you today, don't hit my hand next time." Liu Chengyin squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, and after holding on to the façade, he turned his head and said to Yuan Zongdi: "Let me go back to the city and discuss with the left and right, and I will definitely give General Yuan an explanation." ”

Yuan Zongdi didn't answer, turned his head to look at Teng Shuanglin, Teng Shuanglin waved his hand: "One hour, only one hour!" I didn't hear a reply for an hour, don't blame me for turning my face. Well, I look very unconvinced by your appearance, I don't need General Yuan's help, I still take your Chenzhou Mansion, do you want to compete? ”

Liu Chengyin glared at him, and his eyes were almost bursting with fire: "What are you crazy about!" Isn't Anhua County lost? You have obviously lost the battle, do you know that there is a nest in the road? ”

Teng Shuanglin shook his head again and again: "Anhua was lost, but we didn't lose the battle!" Do you understand the strategic shift? Forget it, looking at your appearance, you are also playing the piano to the cow, don't say it, I'll tell you one thing, an hour is the last time, and you can't easily stop after the war......"

This guy is so arrogant! Liu Chengyin had the heart to turn his face, but when he raised his eyes to look at the opposite side, the loyal battalion and the Chu army were densely packed, and he couldn't see how many there were at a glance, although the armor was stained with dust, and there were traces of gunpowder smoke on the battle flag, but the army was solemn and vigorous, and it also carried heavy equipment such as cannons.

If you can't bear it, you have to endure it!

Liu Chengyin didn't say a word more, turned around and left angrily, returned to the city with his men, and immediately closed the city gate after entering the city, strengthened the defense on the city wall, and ignored the Chu army under the city.

Hearing that the Chu army was besieging the city, the gentry and officials in the Chenzhou Mansion were all panicked and inexplicable, and they didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, so they rushed to ask Liu Chengyin together.

Zhu Yunyu, the king of Tongshan, was a side branch of the Chu Domain, and the fief was originally in Tongshan County, Zhou Guodong's hometown. The two-character prince of the Ming Dynasty is not valuable, Zhu Yunyu and Emperor Chongzhen and Emperor Longwu have long been out of five suits, and he is an idle prince on weekdays, although his status is valuable, he has no contact with officialdom, civil and military.

Liu Chengyin has always respected him, not because he can't be provoked, but because he is too lazy to take care of him, considering that he is a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang after all, he can be dedicated to the Manchu Qing Dynasty as a meeting gift, so he has been staying in Chenzhou, and he met it on weekdays, and he is quite respectful on the surface.

"General Liu, the Chu army and the loyal battalion are also my Ming official army, why did they meet with the Chenzhou sword soldiers?" Zhu Yunyu looked very nervous.

"Hmph, a bunch of ruffians, rats carry guns in the nest, and they can't beat the Tartars, so they come to us for trouble......" Liu Chengyin added fuel and vinegar, not mentioning that he was provoking first, but he exaggerated the arrogance and rudeness of the Chu army, and the civil and military generals were all indignant when they heard it, and they all opened their mouths to curse, only Bu Zuo was silent, and Zhu Yunyu frowned slightly.

"The loyal battalion and the Chu army have a lot of soldiers and horses, and they have just been withdrawn from the front line, why should their own family members be hurt and angry, it is better to give them some food, and they can work together to resist the Tartars." Zhu Yunyu didn't know the origin of this batch of grain, but he knew that since the beginning of the year, the Chu army and the loyal battalion have been fighting against the Qing army, but Liu Chengyin has been shrinking in the rear, and his words are unconsciously inclined to the side of the Chu army.

"I really don't care about a little food, but I just can't swallow this breath!" Liu Chengyin said angrily: "If I am soft today, won't I become a soft egg that can be kneaded by others, and anyone who sees Lao Tzu will dare to take a bite!" An hour is coming soon, Lao Tzu wants to see, does he Teng Shuanglin really dare to order the siege of the city? ”

He is ready to play tricks, the city wall of Chenzhou Mansion is still relatively strong, I will hide in the city and not go out, the food of the Chu army is not enough, so it will naturally retreat.

"Why bother? Why bother! Zhu Yunyu waved his hand again and again, he was angry, the Qing army had reached the door, but his own people were fighting for a little thing, Liu Chengyin was also a donkey, why can't he give a step?

At this time, two loud noises suddenly came from the direction of the city gate, everyone looked at each other, shocked, but Chen Youlong smashed a fist in his palm.

"The deception is too much, the Chu army has opened fire!"

……

Twenty miles away, in the Chinese army camp of the Chu army, after Wang Kefan received the news of Chenzhou Mansion, he immediately ordered Zhou Guodong, Lu Renqing, Zhang Jiayu and other troops and the first part of the Zhongzhen Battalion to go south by boat to seize Chenxi County, Yuanzhou County and Lipu County, Wang Sheng and other troops to the east of Baoqing Mansion, and seize Longhui County and Wugang Prefecture in the upper reaches of the Zijiang River.

The generals were ordered to go their separate ways, but Fang Zhengzheng frowned, and asked worriedly: "Liu Chengyin is certainly wrong to grab grain in columns, but the military gate waved troops straight into Chenzhou Mansion and Baoqing Mansion, and he is also unknown, and he grabbed the flood land of the two mansions for the sake of a little dispute, and Huguang Wenwu will regard the Chu army as a flood beast, how to get along in the future?" ”

"I can't take care of it. The loyal battalion and the 200,000 soldiers of the Chu army must have a place to stay, Liu Chengyin closed the door tightly, so I had to tear down his fence and be an uninvited guest. Wang Kefan asked with a smile: "Since the Tartars went south, the leaders of Hunan's large and small armies have been unable to escape, but Liu Chengyin has been in Chenzhou Mansion, has Mr. Fang thought about the reason?" ”

Fang Zhengzheng was stunned for a moment, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly stared at Wang Kefan and asked, "The military gate thinks that Liu Chengyin will surrender to the Tartars?" ”

"Yes, Liu Chengyin's reluctance to retreat south is nothing more than a taboo He Tengjiao, 20,000 hedgehogs gathered in the area of Chenzhou Mansion, putting on a posture of resisting the Qing army to the death, but this person is greedy for his children's jade silk, how can there be a reason not to surrender!" Wang Kefan, as a traverser, knew that Liu Chengyin was a traitor, and he had long been on guard. (To be continued......)
