Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng's predictions were accurate.

The 50,000 people they led, as the vanguard force, launched the attack first, and the specific arrangements have been made clear, and the large army is still in two groups, taking action separately, and after the Xingping reunion, Gao Yingxiang has already stressed that the first wave of the offensive is particularly important, not seeking to kill and injure the Jiangning battalion to the greatest extent, but it is necessary to disturb the morale of the Jiangning battalion and create good conditions for the second wave of attacks.

This task seems to be very simple, the sergeants led by Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng will not have too many casualties, but the courage of the Jiangning battalion, everyone knows the way, the first wave of attack will definitely cause huge casualties, and the Jiangning battalion After years of conquest, the organization must be orderly, and it will not panic to the extent of collapse, so think about it, the first wave of attack is very dangerous, not to mention 50,000 people, thinking about it easily, it is not so simple.

The most important thing is that Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng saw the problem from Gao Yingxiang's arrangement, Gao Yingxiang's appetite became bigger, and he seemed to want to exterminate the vitality of the Jiangning camp to the greatest extent.

It's a terrible idea, and it tastes a little bit self-conscious.

The rebel army has always pursued the strategy of leaving if it cannot win, and if it has a huge advantage, it can adopt the method of attacking and attacking hard, but the practice of knowing that it cannot be done still does not exist.

Gao Yingxiang asked the two to launch the first wave of attack, in terms of tactical arrangement, no problem can be raised, the most critical attack is the responsibility of the 40,000 sergeants led by Gao Yingxiang and the 10,000 sergeants of Li Wanqing, and the people want to fight against the Jiangning battalion with real swords and guns, what else do you have to say, the first wave of attack is just to disturb the morale of the Jiangning battalion.

It's a pity that Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng's minds have changed a long time ago. They had other plans, and they put them into practice, and their main task had changed definitely, that is, to capture Gao Yingxiang alive and submit to the court for themselves. Such a big gift is enough for them to stand firm.

The sergeant who sent Lu was absolutely trusted by the two, and everything was arranged.

The two waited anxiously for the news, not knowing what Su Tiancheng had in mind and whether he would put forward some too harsh conditions.

On the outskirts of Xingning County.

Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng, who were anxiously waiting, finally met the people sent by Su Tiancheng.

The attack was about to begin, and the two of them were like ants on a hot pan. Gao Yingxiang's offensive arrangements were too late to reveal the situation, if the Jiangning battalion really started fighting, the losses of the two teams would be too great, and it would be very painful in their hearts.

There were two people who came to contact on behalf of the government, and according to the prior agreement, both of them dressed as homeless people, holding large celadon bowls in their hands. was brought directly to the two of them by Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng's henchmen.

Li Yichuan's attitude is very low-key. When he saw the two of them, he had a smile on his face.

"It's hard work two adults, I'm Li Yichuan, this is Liu Guoneng brother, we've been waiting for news."

"I'm Liu Tiehan, and this is Brother Liu Jingting."

Li Yichuan grew his mouth. Speechless, Liu Guoneng on the side also changed his expression, Liu Tiehan's name, they have heard of it many times, he used to be bandits in Henan. By chance, he took refuge in Su Tiancheng, relying on the courage of the battle, and now he is the commander of the Ming Dynasty.

Sending Liu Tiehan to contact fully shows Su Tiancheng's attitude, he completely believes in them, but there is also a warning in this.

After a while, Li Yichuan spoke.

"I have been looking up for a long time, Brother Liu and I have long heard of General Liu's name, we are sincerely obedient to the imperial court this time, and we have no two hearts, if Lord Liu and Lord Liu have any orders, we will definitely follow them."

"Lord Su already knows your thoughts, and you are very welcome, but since you want to return to the imperial court, you must also show sincerity, we are villains first and then gentlemen, Lord Su believes in you, and I also hope that you can assist the Jiangning battalion, capture Gao Yingxiang alive, and exterminate the rogue team led by Gao Yingxiang."

Li Yichuan nodded again and again.

Liu Guoneng on the side finally spoke.

"Lord Liu, Lord Liu, Gao Yingxiang has given us a task, and the day after tomorrow will start to attack, Brother Li and the 50,000 sergeants led by me will attack first, the main purpose is to disturb the morale of the army, Gao Yingxiang and Li Wanqing led the 50,000 sergeants, and then launch an attack, the location is in the military camp where the Jiangning camp is located, we are in a hurry, how to report this situation."

Liu Tiehan looked at Liu Jingting and quickly spoke.

"I see, what do you think?"

"Brother Li and I are going to return to the imperial court, and we will never attack, we all know the bravery of the Jiangning battalion, such a practice is tantamount to self-destruction, we will never do it, but if we can't launch an attack, Gao Yingxiang will arouse suspicion, I'm afraid he will withdraw directly."

Liu Guoneng had just finished speaking, and Li Yichuan continued to speak.

"What we mean is that we want to take advantage of the opportunity to attack and go directly to the imperial court, and when the time comes, we will order the sergeants to lay down their arms and not to attack."

Liu Jingting, who had not spoken, finally spoke.

"Can you guarantee that your actions are not suspicious of Gao Yingxiang?"

The two looked at Liu Jingting and shook their heads at the same time.

"Brother Liu and I are very cautious, and we will never arouse Gao Yingxiang's suspicions."

"If Gao Yingxiang has doubts, how are you going to deal with it."

"We haven't thought about it yet."

The conversation lasted for a short time, but it was over in a quarter of an hour.

Liu Tiehan finally made an arrangement, asking Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng to proceed according to the original arrangement, not to show flaws, the most critical issue is to stabilize the 50,000 sergeants under his command, do not mutiny, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, if there are sergeants mutinied, causing a large-scale sweep, Jiangning Battalion may not be able to manage so much.

The meaning of these words is actually to remind Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng not to be too confident, after all, it is 50,000 sergeants, whether they are united or not, it is not clear, and the officers under their command must be strictly examined.

Besides, it is rare for 50,000 people to charge at the same time, and anything can happen with such a large-scale scene, if you don't pay attention to it.

At dawn, Liu Tiehan finally returned, and as for Liu Jingting, he stayed by Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng's side.

Hong Chengchou barely slept all night.

It is said that he has experienced a lot of battles, and he will not be too excited about such a battle, but this time the battle is facing Gao Yingxiang, the leader of the Liukou, if he can capture Gao Yingxiang alive, it is tantamount to a major victory, which can fundamentally hit the arrogance of the Liukou, so he has been thinking about all the deployments of the battle.

He took Liu Tiehan without delay, and rushed directly to the governor's yamen.

Su Tiancheng, Hong Chengchou and others listened to the situation in detail.

"It seems that Li Yichuan and Liu Guo can return to the imperial court, there is no need to doubt it."

Hong Chengchou nodded.

"My lord, the Jiangning battalion is divided into two parts, the main responsibility of 10,000 people is to take care of the 50,000 sergeants under Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng, and the other 40,000 will attack tomorrow, set up an ambush, and exterminate the sergeants led by Gao Yingxiang. Judging from what Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng said, and echoing our original conjecture, the scout battalion has already reconnoitred the terrain outside Xianyang City, and a mountain col twelve miles away from here is an ideal ambush location. ”

Hong Chengchou said as he pointed to the sand table in the middle of the room, which was made overnight.

Su Tiancheng looked at the sand table carefully and nodded.

"Okay, this arrangement is good, the problem that needs to be paid attention to here is mainly to prevent Gao Yingxiang from discovering that Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng returned to the imperial court, 50,000 troops, not a small number, anything can happen, so the arrangement of the Jiangning camp must be extraordinarily meticulous to prevent accidents, in addition, the 40,000 soldiers who encircled and suppressed Gao Yingxiang must keep in mind the main task, capture Gao Yingxiang alive, and don't kill all the rogues who lay down their arms, they are different from the Tartars."

Liu Tiehan didn't have time to rest, and was about to set off again.

Su Tiancheng looked at Liu Tiehan and spoke word by word.

"Tie Han, you follow Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng's side, you must pay attention to your own safety, if you find that the situation is not right, focus on saving your own life, don't think about other things, you and Liu Jingting, you must be extra careful, although Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng are thinking about returning to the imperial court, but they have so many sergeants under them, anything can happen."

"My lord, there is no problem with my subordinates, it's just that Brother Liu has no power to restrain the chicken, and my subordinates suggest that Brother Liu should come back now, so that his subordinates can also concentrate."

"I know this, since it is arranged in this way, there should be no changes, Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng are around, there are a lot of pro-soldiers, their safety, I am not worried, the key is you and Liu Jingting, you have been in the scout camp for many years, and you are improvised, so you must pay attention to the situation at all times, and try your best to protect Liu Jingting's safety, in terms of negotiations, Liu Jingting has an advantage over you."

Hong Chengchou did not leave the governor's yamen immediately.

After Liu Tiehan left, Hong Chengchou spoke.

"My lord, this battle is very important, my opinion, my lord is still directly involved in the command."

"Lord Hong, don't change anything about what has been decided, I'm just waiting for good news from you and Jiang Ningying."

Hong Chengchou faced Su Tiancheng and saluted with his fists.

"My lord, this time, I will do my best to capture Gao Yingxiang alive, if I can't complete the task, I will ask my lord for guilt and the court for guilt."

"Lord Hong, don't be so nervous, if you can't capture Gao Yingxiang alive, it's not a big deal, since the Jiangning camp has come to Shaanxi, the Liukou will eventually be exterminated." (To be continued......)
