readx;?ps: The excitement starts right away, hehe

However, to Zhu Changyuan's surprise, only after the news of Huang Taiji's attack on Jingshi reached Xiangyang, Zhang Xianzhong not only did not rebel, but was quiet like an obedient child. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info,

After more than ten days, Xiong Wencan thought that Zhang Xianzhong would not turn back now.

If he hadn't read the history of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Changyuan would have relaxed his vigilance.

However, for Zhu Changyuan, Zhang Xianzhong can be idle and not cause trouble, just to give him enough time to prepare for the next battle.

During this time, he returned to modern society several times, and replaced the armor on the two hundred cavalry and horses, all of which were alloy armor customized from modern society.

The new alloy armor is not only bright and hard, but also much lighter than the previous one, and Zhu Changyuan specially asked someone to design and improve it, so that the soldiers can move more freely after wearing clothes.

At the same time, Zhu Changyuan's customized armor from modern society this time was not two hundred sets, but eight hundred sets. He always felt that the 200 strange soldiers in his hands were just enough to deal with Sun Xiaofeng's 10,000 people, and if he encountered Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai's mistakes in the future, which were prone to 100,000 or even millions of people, he would be a little powerless.

Therefore, this time, following the story of Huo Quai's 800 cavalry in the Han Dynasty, he also got 800 sets of armor.

Recently, a hospital far away in the capital opened, and every time a patient was treated, not only did he have a monetary income, but also brought him a lot of contribution value. Don't look at this short period of ten days, Boholtang has received hundreds of people.

The contribution value in Zhu Changyuan's system has also risen from the previous two million to 18 million.

It is enough to build a super cavalry unit with these contributions.

It's a pity. Now there are materials and horses. The most important thing is missing: people.

To say Zhu Changyuan's subordinates. Naturally, there will be no shortage of people, and now all the bandits around Xiangyang City have surrendered, and he has at least 20,000 available soldiers under his command.

But Zhu Changyuan didn't plan to build them into an elite army, the reason was very simple, because these people were not his old team, and they didn't know the roots, in case they were all trained into talents, these dogs would no longer obey or even rebel. But it's really like stealing chickens and rice.

Zhu Changyuan meant that the eight hundred cavalry troops, all of which were to be transported from Sun Moon Island, were all their own people, but now was indeed not the time to return to Sun Moon Island to move troops, if Zhang Xianzhong made a hasty attack, he could really only use only two hundred strange soldiers as the main force to fight against him.

"How?" Zhu Changyuan looked at the white-clothed Li Xin who hurriedly walked over from outside the military tent and asked.

"Still nothing happens!" Li Xin shook his head, walked to Zhu Changyuan's side, and said, "My subordinates have arranged for no less than a hundred brothers to descend from Gucheng along the Han River in turn. or as a business traveler, or hidden in a farmhouse. Everyone has four spare walkie-talkies in their hands, and some people replace them every day, once Zhang Xianzhong has any changes, we can know as soon as possible. ”

"Good!" Zhu Changyuan praised it, and frowned again: "I just don't know what kind of medicine Zhang Xianzhong sells in the gourd, he hasn't moved so far with such a good opportunity, to be honest, General Ben is anxious for him." ”

Li Xin arched his hand and said: "My subordinates have been speculating about Zhang Xianzhong's intentions in the past few days, but after thinking about it, it is nothing more than two points. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Changyuan smiled and said, "Li Gongzi knows? He personally went over and moved a chair for Li Xin and said, "Let's tell General Ben." ”

Li Xin thanked Zhu Changyuan's chair, sat down across a table from Zhu Changyuan, and said: "This guy doesn't see rabbits and eagles, he is still waiting." ”

"One is to wait and see Huang Taiji to see if he is determined to attack Jingshi this time, or if he will return home after looting as before; The second is watching Zuo Liangyu, who went to Henan to suppress bandits and quell the rebellion. ”

Li Xin said this, paused slightly, and continued: "The subordinates guessed that Zhang Xianzhong was scared by General Zuo in his early years, if Zuo Liangyu won the battle in Henan Mansion and could return to the division smoothly, he should not be so quick to fight, if Zuo Liangyu is unfavorable in battle, I am afraid he will move and attack my Xiangyang City eastward along the river." ”

"Eighty percent of the time." Zhu Changyuan squinted his eyes, looked at Li Xin and smiled, this guy's role in himself is really not negligible, the more he looks at this little white face, the more pleasing it is.

While the two were talking, the guards outside suddenly reported that Cheng Bujing had come over to ask for a meeting.

After the last Sun Xiaofeng skinning incident, all the bandits and bandits around Xiangyang Mansion surrendered to Zhu Changyuan, and even Cheng Bujing, who wanted to be an official, was made a general petty official by Xiong Wencan, and the rest of the bandit leaders were sent by Zhu Changyuan to Fang County to be petty officials.

There were only two bandit leaders left in Xiangyang City, one was Cheng Bujing, and the other was Huo Chong, who was born with divine power.

"General Cheng, please come in."

After Cheng Bujing came in, he saluted Zhu Changyuan and said, "General, my subordinates have something important to report." ”

"Oh!" Zhu Changyuan was quite surprised, since this Cheng disrespect surrendered, he had almost become a mute, except for training soldiers in the city every day, he had nothing else to do, and he was usually not willing to take the initiative to contact Zhu Changyuan at all.

Today, what's going on with this thing? It's a little abnormal.

"General Cheng, you're welcome, please sit down and talk." Zhu Changyuan took a sip of tea lightly and said lightly.

Cheng Bujing arched his hand and said: "The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates came here to offer advice to the general." ”

"Oh?" Hearing that Cheng Bujing came to offer advice, Zhu Changyuan smiled and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

"General!" Cheng Bujing bowed his head and said: "Since the beginning of winter this year, first Li Zicheng and Shaanxi, and then Luo Rucai echoed from afar, Henan Cupola Cannon with 100,000 people's troops will be deep in the mud pit of Zuo Liangyu, and there is a large army of Jianyu approaching the Beijing Division, so his subordinates think that Zhang Xianzhong will rebel within the month!" ”

The old tune, people with a little knowledge of this kind of thing know that Cheng Bujing said this, but it was just icing on the cake, and Zhu Changyuan didn't pay much attention to it.

Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion, that's a sure thing, do you want to tell General Ben?

However, Cheng Bujing's next words impressed Zhu Changyuan.

"If Zhang Xianzhong brings the people around Gucheng and leads an army of tens of thousands to attack Xiangyang, how will the general respond?"

Cheng Bujing asked in reverse, but Zhu Changyuan was stopped, this is this question that has been repeatedly discussed with Li Xin in the past few days, although there are 20,000 bandit soldiers in Xiangyang City, but if Zhang Xianzhong really raises troops to attack, it is estimated that just like the soldiers lent to him by Luo Rucai last time to attack Sun Xiaofeng, he ran away overnight.

Defend the city with 200 elite cavalry?

That's, if 200 cavalry pursues and slashes, it will definitely be invincible, but if it is defending the city, it can only be hehe.

This problem is also a problem that Zhu Changyuan has been having a headache and cannot solve.

"General Cheng came to find General Ben, naturally he paid attention?" Zhu Changyuan didn't answer his question directly, but asked with a smile.

Cheng Bujing arched his hand solemnly, and said: "General, these horses and horses you recruited from this Xiangyang Mansion, the training time is too short, and the combat strength is not good, if Zhang Xianzhong really attacks Xiangyang City, these people will be scattered, and it is not impossible for them to turn against each other, so, general, your subordinates suggest that the 20,000 soldiers in your hands should be moved to Fang County as soon as possible!" ”

"Fang County?" Zhu Changyuan was slightly stunned and asked, "What are you going to do there?" ”

Cheng Bujing said: "The general thinks about it, instead of losing 20,000 horses in vain, it is better to hide in Fang County, just send a general to go and train day and night, if Zhang Xianzhong takes Xiangyang directly, these horses can also go in turn to destroy his valley city, the general will lead the army to block his advance, and Zhang Xianzhong will be defeated with one blow." ”

I have to say that what Cheng Bujing said is very reasonable, and even Li Xin nodded again and again after hearing it.

If he was against Zhang Xianzhong, instead of waiting for him to attack Xiangyang, it would be better to volley him halfway to Xiangyang, and with the thick and good fighting of 200 cavalry, he might be able to defeat him.

At that time, if Polu led 20,000 strange soldiers to suddenly insert from Fang County behind him, and the two sides attacked, it was really possible to knock Zhang Xianzhong unconscious.

Although the possibility is relatively small, it is at least much better than the chance of winning by defending Xiangyang.

Moreover, even if he can't win, no one can stop him from retreating with his 200 cavalry, and the 20,000 troops have all withdrawn to Fang County, so what does it matter if Zhang Xianzhong attacks Xiangyang?

Just give him an empty city.

"Good!" Zhu Changyuan clapped his hands, "Wonderful, I didn't see that General Cheng is a general, if this battle can be won, no, no matter whether this victory or defeat, General Cheng will be my Zhu Changyuan's trusted person in the future." ”

"The general has won the prize." Cheng Bujing's face was only a little smile at the moment, and a few drops of sweat were left on his forehead in winter, and he said: "Actually, in fact, this is not paying attention to it, yes, it is the clumsy advice to give advice to the general." ”

Cheng Bujing's wife, Huang Yueniang, is a dragon and phoenix among people, a hero among women, it is indeed not surprising that she can see through this, but before she left, she repeatedly told Cheng Disrespect, not to say that it was her own attention, but Cheng Disrespect finally failed to lie in front of Zhu Changyuan's majesty.

"Mrs. Ling?" Zhu Changyuan smiled strangely.

Li Xin gave a thumbs up, laughed, and Cheng Bujing, who was laughing, sat down and lay down, and said for a long time: "I have long heard that General Cheng has a virtuous internal helper comparable to Zhuge Kongming, and he is really extraordinary." ”

"Yes!" Zhu Changyuan, as a person from modern society, naturally does not have gender discrimination, nodded, sighed and said: "Creating people, wisdom does not distinguish between men and women, and there are also women who are as wise as Kong Ming, it is not surprising that he is really a talent." ”

After speaking, he asked Cheng Bujing with a smile and said: "Mrs. Ling is really talented, and someone Zhu can also be reused!" ”

Cheng Bujing only joked with Zhu Changyuan and thanked him, "General Xie is very loving." ”

"Yes!" Zhu Changyuan walked out from behind the table and said disrespectfully to Cheng: "The order is given to the prisoners, and Wang Wu, from now on, he will lead 20,000 horses to move into Fang County overnight, prepare for the bandits, and wait for the war." ”

"Yes!" Cheng Bujing took the order and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Xin again.

"General Cheng walks slowly." Li Xin suddenly got up from his chair and whispered to Zhu Changyuan: "General, Xiangyang City is in danger, should we also move Lord Xiong in?" (To be continued.) )u
