The weather was still very hot, and the wilderness after the autumn harvest was empty with no green in sight, and all the fields were black in front of me.

There is a wide plain between Taizhou and Yangzhou, and as the most important grain producing area in Yangzhou Prefecture, it is all fertile and fertile land. The rice harvest has been completed, so this land is dry, and the ground is flat and firm, unlike the Jiangnan area, which is full of lakes and water networks, which is conducive to the operation of large armies. Therefore, Sun Yuan and Gao Jie both coincidentally chose this place as the venue for the decisive battle.

It is precisely because Taizhou and Yangzhou are so close to each other that there is really no room for maneuver between the two armies, and everyone has to fight if they don't fight.

At this moment, there was a red morning light in front of him, Gao Jie rode proudly on his horse, pointed to the horizon in the distance and said: "Dawn is up, sprinkle and sweep the court, a certain horse career for so many years, every day is up, no matter Sanjiu or Sanfu." I heard that Sun Yuan is a good and lazy worker, and he has to sleep until three poles in the morning every day before getting up, and he never gets tired of eating, so he is not a soldier. If it was the old Tianxiong composed of Yan Zhao men, he might have to be careful. Now, hehe, the Ningxiang Army has been in Jianghuai in heaven on earth for so many years, and there are many soldiers who are southerners, and with such a commander, I don't know how much Lao Tianxiong's murderous spirit is. What time has it been, Ning Xiangjun hasn't come yet, can't he be scared? ”

He was born with upright facial features, a short beard, and the morning glow reflected on his face, with a vigorous and heroic spirit. In particular, those bright and sharp, confident eyes were not possessed by ordinary Ming Dynasty officers.

In comparison, Liu Zeqing's eyes looked obscene and flickering: "Brother Yingwu still can't be careless, this Sun Taichu Liu Zeqing is still very familiar, not to mention the great military exploits he has made since he led the troops, last year the 3,000 cavalry of the Ningxiang Army were besieged by more than 60,000 thieves in Mamuji, Sun Taichu not only calmly got out of trouble, but also killed Li Yan, Red Lady, Hao Daqi and others, and seriously injured Gao Yigong

。 Li Zicheng heard that Sun Yuan's army had entered Kaifeng, and he was so frightened that he didn't even want Kaifeng, and directly dug the Yellow River to block the enemy with water. ”

As soon as he heard Liu Zeqing mention Li Zicheng's name, Gao Jie showed a trace of hatred on his face, and then deliberately laughed sarcastically: "I have also heard about the battle of Ma Muji, and there is nothing to be ashamed of." Liu Zongmin is brave and unscrupulous, a stupid villager, and Yuan Shizhong is a thief who doesn't understand anything about military affairs, so defeating such an enemy is nothing. As for Li Zicheng, hehe, if you change someone, you will be scared to pee his pants. What is Li Chuang, he entered Beijing, but what was the result, when he met Jiannu, he was not as defeated as he was, and he was chased and beaten by his ass. Maybe one day he will be beheaded by Jiannu. is just a peasant in northern Shaanxi, Li Duyan is still delusional to be the emperor, and he needs to be obeyed. ”

The **** also knew what his identity was, and he was afraid that others would look down on him, so he pretended to be a descendant of Li Yuanhao of Western Xia. Recognize a Tartar as an ancestor, don't want an ancestor, what's the difference between it and a beast, I'm bah! Gao Jie spat hard forward.

A gust of wind came suddenly, and foam sprayed Liu Zeqing's face.

Everyone in the Shandong army stretched out their hands to wipe their faces, and Liu Chun angrily put his hand on the hilt of the knife.

Only Liu Zeqing still said sincerely: "Yingwu is a hero, and I naturally admire Lao Liu." But you can't be careless, you must know that Sun Yuan can defeat Jiannu and behead Yue Tuo's fierce Zhang Fei! The thieves are just a rabble, how can they be compared to Jiannu? ”

"Jiannu, Jiannu is nothing, Gao has never fought with Jiannu. In the past, a certain was in Huguang and Shaanxi to suppress thieves, but failed to enter the defense of Gyeonggi. Otherwise, it would not be Sun Yuan's turn to become a thief. Gao Jie squinted at Liu Zeqing and said sarcastically: "By the way, I heard that your son entered Taizhou with 60,000 horses and met Sun Yuan a while ago, and was beaten by others. ”

"You, Gaojie Birdman, what did you say?" Liu Chun was already arrogant, when had he ever been so sarcastic, and pulled out his waist knife with a sonorous sound.

"Smack!" Liu Zeqing whipped Liu Chun's hand: "Bastard thing, speak for your father and General Gao, when will it be your turn to intervene in this shameful thing, don't hurry up and apologize to General Officer Gao." ”

A red whip mark appeared on the back of Liu Chun's right hand, becoming redder and redder, and finally turning purple. If an ordinary person eats this whip, the knife in his hand has already been knocked to the ground.

But Liu Chun held the handle of the knife tightly, and several tendons on the back of his hand rose high, like steel bars: "Why should I make amends to Gao Jie?" ”

"If you still have a strong mouth, you can't be killed

！ Liu Zeqing shouted angrily, and the whip in his hand rained down on Liu Chun's head and shoulders.

Another whip mark appeared on Liu Chun's forehead, and blood beads came out, and his gaze was like that of a wounded beast: "I don't, never, father might as well use a knife!" ”

Yes, life is worse than death today.

Since the defeat under Sun Yuan's hands that day, not only did more than half of the 60,000 horses be lost, but even Liu Xianing, the family and sister of the Shandong army, was captured by the Yangzhou Zhen army.

Therefore, after fleeing to Yangzhou, he did not dare to see his father.

Later, his uncle Liu Konghe ran over with a smile and said that his father no longer blamed him, and asked him to lead his troops to Tianchang to join the main force.

Liu Chun breathed a sigh of relief and led the troops back to the old camp.

Unexpectedly, he was greeted by a burst of scolding and beatings from his father, which made him covered in injuries and almost died. Up to now, Liu Chun's body is full of wounds, and he can only ride on a horse in front of him.

was punished by his father for doing something wrong, Liu Chunben had no complaints, but the strange thing in his heart was that his uncle clearly said that his father no longer blamed him, why was he still beaten like this when he returned to the old camp. It wasn't until his wife and son cried and told him that all the troops had been absorbed by his father and that he had been deprived of his military rights, that he suddenly realized that his father had begun to suspect him and was afraid that I would rebel, so he deceived me back. In his mind, is there still my son?

Now, he was whipped by his father in front of everyone.

Looking around, no one pleaded for mercy, as for the younger brothers, they all looked gloating, Liu Chun felt cold in his heart: Is this still a family, father and son are jealous, brothers are jealous, what is the meaning of me living?

"You, kill you wicked!" Liu Zeqing was furious, threw away the whip, and was about to draw the waist knife again.

"Okay, what's the fuss, don't you look at what the occasion is now?" Gao Jie looked down on Liu Zeqing very much: "What, everyone has watched the performance of your father and son?" ”

Seeing that Gao Jie was annoyed, Liu Zeqing hurriedly put the knife into the sheath, and said with a flattering smile: "Brother Yingwu is right, the war is about to start, let's just listen to the general's dispatch."

。 ”

Seeing the flattering smile on his father's face, Liu Chun was disgusted: Our Shandong army now has 100,000 horses, which is not much weaker than Gao Jie, a brute, so why should he deliberately curry favor? Father, you are old and cowardly, you have lost the face of our Liu family and the face of my Shandong boy!

Gao Jie was very satisfied with Liu Zeqing's attitude and nodded: "Sun Yuan's thief's use of soldiers, I also know a little. Isn't he just relying on a strange formation, this strange formation moves slowly, and if there is no cavalry cooperation, it is just passively beaten. Others are afraid of him Sun Yuan, Lao Tzu is not afraid, Chengdong, what do you think. ”

A general with a national character face said: "There are no heroes in the world, so that the vertical son becomes famous, Sun Yuan is not afraid!" ”

This person is Li Chengdong, the first general under Gao Jie, and he is full of fierceness: "Chief military officer, people say that the Ningxiang Army is the first army in the world, and I will weigh the cavalry army today." At the end of the day, if the general had not been ordered by the chief military officer to rush to Yangzhou to help, he might have taken down Sun Yuan'er's head when he was in Taizhou. ”

Gao Jie laughed: "Chengdong, you have this heart, I am very pleased." On that day, someone was short of men and horses, and Huang Hushan and General Liu were watching from the sidelines, and they were afraid that they would accidentally calculate it, so they transferred you back. ”

Liu Zeqing heard Gao Jie say this, and hurriedly said: "General Gao is mighty, Liu and you are both military generals of the Ming Dynasty, this is a family, how can your own people beat yourself." ”

Gao Jie ignored him, turned his head and looked at another somewhat thin general, and his tone was also very unpolite: "What's more, Lao Liu, you may come to Yangzhou at any time." A piece of fat meat in Yangzhou, which was wrapped in dumplings by Lao Tzu, naturally you don't want to watch me eat alone. ”

This person is Liu Liangzuo, he was born thin, his skin has been covered with wrinkles and sun spots due to the perennial wind and sun, and he looks like an old stump.

He probably couldn't stand Gao Jie's aggressiveness, and smiled: "Gao Jie, we have known each other for a long time, but we all mixed up in Li Zicheng's robber's den at the beginning." The friendship between you and me, even if it is a brother, is not comparable, and you will offend people a little when you say this. ”

"Haha, Huama Liu, you are a little deceived when you say this. Because you are so familiar, Lao Tzu knows too well what kind of person you are. Gao Jie chuckled: "The three of us said that we would deal with the Ningxiang Army together, Lao Tzu's main force was exhausted, and Liu Hezhou also came with 10,000 elites, your old boy is good, so he brought 2,000 men and horses to respond to the scene, why, still want to preserve his strength?" ”

Liu Liangzuo was unceremoniously robbed by Gao Jie, and his face was red: "Brother Gao, you really wronged me."

。 You also know that I have so many men and horses, all the way from Shouzhou, I have already arrived in Yangzhou, and the guard is still in Shouzhou! There is no way, the boys are all reaching out in the coffin and asking for money to die. Without seeing the silver pulled, those bastards dare to walk slower than a snail. Or, Brother Gao, you will lend me tens of thousands of taels of silver first. ”

Gao Jie was so angry by his brazenness that he had nothing to say, as far as he knew, Liu Liangzuo had brought a cavalry of 5,000 men with him, which was the essence of his troops. Now in order to preserve its strength, this unit is stationed in Yeshan, a hundred miles away from Yangzhou, and it is estimated that it will not be used at a critical moment.

This birdman casually ran over with three or five cats and dogs, and what was the use, but Lao Tzu didn't count on him.

After roughly calculating, this time he and Liu Zeqing can be said to be the main force.

In this battle, Liu Zeqing dispatched about 20,000 horses, but the Shandong army was not very reliable, and this person was cunning and tight, and he might not be willing to fight to the death.

Gao Jie had more men and horses, 30,000, of which Gao Jie personally led 5,000 cavalry, Li Chengdong had 3,000 elite armor soldiers on hand, and the others were foot soldiers who dared to fight. It has to be said that the Gaojie army was already the most powerful field army in the Ming Dynasty, especially after entering the Jianghuai region and expanding its strength sharply.

A cavalry corps of such a scale has a rare taste of the original Guanning Army.

The combined forces of Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo together totaled nearly 60,000, and they were all the main forces. Sun Yuan only has 10,000, and Gao Jie feels that he is at least eighty percent sure of this battle.

What's more, he believes that the so-called name of the Ningxiang Army as the world's No. 1 army is just boasted and not worth mentioning.

Gao Jie had never seen Jiannu, and there was no comparison, so naturally he didn't know how strong the Ningxiang Army was.

In the past, the reason why the army of the imperial court was beaten as stupid by Jiannu was because the Ming army was too bad.

In his opinion, the warriors of the hundred battles under his command are not strictly speaking the Ming army, and naturally they are not as useless as the imperial army.

Eliminate Sun Yuan, with the prestige of my Gaojie in the towns of Jiangbei, and help King Lu ascend the throne, that is the order of the world not to dare to disobey.

Okay, let's take Sun Yuan first, and then kill Huang Degong, the old boy, in the next step.
