Chapter 470: Determination and Division

Just when Li Zicheng couldn't make a decision, Gu Junen came back, and he went directly to Nanyang Mansion City.

After seeing Gu Junen, Li Zicheng was very excited, pulling Gu Junen's acceptance, and didn't speak for a long time, in fact, Li Zicheng was already anxious, Gu Junen had been out for so long, why didn't he come back for a long time, he even wondered if Zhang Xianzhong did not allow Gu Junen to leave and forcibly detained Gu Junen, of course, Li Zicheng would not doubt Gu Junen's loyalty, he absolutely believed and trusted Gu Junen.

Li Zicheng was unable to make a plan for the next move of the rebel army, and at this time, Gu Junen was needed to put forward his opinion.

After a short rest, Rolling Junen came to the wing.

Seeing Gu Junen come in, Li Zicheng was very surprised.

"Gu Junen, you travel a long way, it's better to rest for a while, and after your body recovers, we will negotiate."

Gu Junen shook his head and quickly spoke.

"King Chuang, the situation is urgent, I also know that King Chuang's move is indecisive, I have thought a lot along the way, some ideas are not vomited and unhappy, the next move of the righteous army, I have some ideas, but I want to know what Li Yan, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others are."

Li Zicheng's expression was a little gloomy.

"You don't know yet, Li Yan and the Red Lady have been captured by the official army, they were responsible for garrisoning Luoyang Mansion City, who knew that it was the Zheng family army that came to attack, Li Yan and the Red Lady didn't have much experience, and they didn't know how powerful the Zheng family army was, this was also a mistake in my arrangement, if they didn't let them garrison Luoyang Mansion City, there would not have been such heavy losses."

"King Chuang doesn't have to blame himself, Zheng Jiajun entered Henan, no one would have thought of such a thing. Li Yan is indeed capable, indeed stronger than Zaixia, and losing him is indeed a loss for King Chuang. ”

"Don't say that, Li Yan, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others. It is indeed capable, but they have not experienced hardship, let alone failure, and they are helpless when they suddenly encounter big things, the loss of Luoyang Mansion City. That's it. ”

When King Chuang said this, he waved his hand.

"The matter you just asked, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance put forward their opinions, and Liu Zongmin also put forward their opinions, Niu Jinxing thinks that the righteous army will simply attack Xiangyang Mansion City next. Xiangyang is the land of fish and rice, the righteous army took the city of Xiangyang, they can get a large number of supplies, which is beneficial to the next development of the righteous army, Liu Zongmin and others believe that the righteous army stays in Nanyang, no need to go. ”

Gu Junen looked at King Chuang and then spoke.

"Guess under that. King Chuang was not satisfied with these two suggestions. ”

Li Zicheng nodded and looked at Gu Junen. Didn't speak.

Gu Junen groaned slightly, and then spoke.

"Both types of suggestions are reasonable, the rebels are familiar with the environment of Nanyang, and it is advantageous to stay here, Xiangyang is the land of fish and rice, and the supplies of the rebels can be greatly replenished. The next step in the development is advantageous, if in the following choice. Prefer to support the choice of the rebel army to develop towards Xiangyang. ”

Li Zicheng nodded, which was expected by him. Compared with the two opinions, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance's suggestions were slightly higher, but he knew that Gu Junen must have other suggestions.

Sure enough, Gu Junen quickly spoke.

"There are some different views in the Xia, this time I went to Weihui Mansion, I figured out the thoughts of the Eight Kings in the Xia, and when I left, I also gave suggestions to the Eight Kings, persuading them not to leave the place where Henan and Shanxi meet, if King Chuang gave up Nanyang, Runing and Ruzhou and other places, and developed in the direction of Xiangyang, he must be farther and farther away from the Eight Kings, which is not conducive to the development of the righteous army."

"There is another analysis below, that is, it is impossible for Zheng Jiajun to stay in Henan for a long time, on the way back, I specifically searched around, near Luoyang, I didn't hear anyone say Zheng Jiajun, all I talked about was the bravery of Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian and others, including the wisdom of Henan Governor Wu Fu, etc., which proved the judgment of the next."

Li Zicheng's expression became serious, Zheng Jiajun suddenly entered Henan, he always needed a reason, if the imperial court sent Zheng Jiajun to Henan to fight, then the ending would be really difficult to say, Gu Junen made such a judgment, he needed a reason.

"Gu Junen, this judgment is not made casually, it is extremely important for the next development of the righteous army."

"I understand it, I have thought about this problem carefully, Zheng Jiajun entered Henan to fight, I am afraid it is for Cao Yun."

Li Zicheng suddenly realized and patted his head.

"Yes, such a simple thing, I haven't figured it out, Zheng Xunrui is the governor of Caoyun, Luoyang Mansion is involved in Caoyun, we occupied Luoyang, Caoyun has been affected, Zheng Xunrui is naturally going to send troops, since the task has been completed, then Zheng Xunrui will leave and will not continue to stay in Henan."

Speaking of this, Li Zicheng stood up excitedly and walked a few steps.

"Gu Junen, since the Zheng family army will leave Luoyang sooner or later, then we don't have to leave Henan, as long as the Zheng family army leaves, we don't have much to worry about, continue to occupy Nanyang, Runing and Ruzhou and other places, and confront the official army."

Seeing that Gu Junen didn't speak, Li Zicheng was a little dissatisfied.

"Gu Junen, do you think there is a problem with my consideration?"

Gu Junen shook his head and spoke carefully.

"It is the right choice for King Chuang not to leave Henan, but I think that the next plan of the rebel army will be slightly adjusted, I don't know how many rebels are there now, and how to raise grain and grass."

"There are more than 60,000 people, all of whom are raising grain and grass in Nanyang and Runing Prefecture."

A worried look flashed in Gu Junen's eyes, he knew how the righteous army was raising grain and grass below, but he wouldn't bring it up.

"In the following suggestion, the righteous army is divided into several roads, do not gather together, so that the supply of grain and grass is difficult to completely solve, and at the same time many places are difficult to take into account, more than 60,000 righteous troops can be divided into three roads, one route is personally commanded by King Chuang to stay in Nanyang and other places, you can consider mobile activities, not necessarily stick to Nanyang Fucheng, the second route is commanded by General Liu Zongmin, to Xiangyang Fucheng activities, not necessarily directly attack Xiangyang Fucheng, but can wait for the opportunity to attack the state and county, take the opportunity to raise grain and grass, the third route Zhang Yichuan, Led by Liu Guoneng and Tuo Yangkun and others, they were active in the Ruzhou area, always paying attention to the movements of Luoyang Fucheng. ”

After Gu Junen finished speaking, Li Zicheng fell into deep thought.

After about a quarter of an hour, a smile appeared on Li Zicheng's face.

"Okay, very good, your suggestion is very good, in terms of troop allocation, I am going to do this, Liu Zongmin led 20,000 soldiers of the Righteous Army into the area of Xiangyang, Zhang Yichuan, Liu Guoneng and Tuoyangkun led 10,000 people to operate in the area of Ruzhou, and the remaining sergeants followed me to activities in the area of Nanyang and Runing."

After Li Zicheng finished speaking, a smile also appeared on Gu Junen's face.

"King Chuang, there is another suggestion below, Zhang Yichuan, Liu Guoneng and Tuoyangkun, with Tuoyangkun as the leader, and Liu Guoneng and Zhang Yichuan as the deputies."

Li Zicheng nodded and stopped talking.

The order was given quickly.

For King Chuang's arrangement, everyone was caught off guard, especially Tuo Yangkun, Zhang Yichuan and Liu Guoneng and others, after they defected to King Chuang, they always followed King Chuang's side, and rarely had the opportunity to command the battle alone, let alone be as free as before, but under the roof of people, they had to bow their heads, and this time King Chuang actually asked them to lead an army of 10,000 to move alone.

Liu Zongmin was against this arrangement, and asked him to lead 20,000 troops into Xiangyang Mansion, he had no opinion, but let Tuoyangkun, Zhang Yichuan and Liu Guoneng unite and lead 10,000 soldiers to act alone, he had a lot of opinions, Li Zicheng did not explain much, saying that this was already a matter of decision, and everyone had to implement it.

Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance were still drinking in the house.

Niu Jinxing raised his glass.

"Brother Song, it's still Gu Junen who is amazing, and the trick he thought of quickly solved the problem."

"Brother Niu, tell me what problem you have solved."

"General Liu Zongmin is the absolute confidant of King Chuang, and he must be at ease, so he led an army of 20,000 into Xiangyang to see if he can make a name for himself, Nanyang and Runing are vast, and King Chuang led the army to operate in this area, and he can deal with the official army very well, as for the other army, if I expect it well, this road is clearly a road of destruction."

Song Xiance smiled and didn't speak.

"Brother Song, King Chuang has always been uneasy about General Tuoyangkun, General Zhang Yichuan and General Liu Guoneng, and has never asked the three of them to lead the army alone, but this time it is very generous, let the three of them lead an army of 10,000, I don't believe that King Chuang is really at ease with them."

Song Xiance finished drinking the wine in the bowl and wiped his mouth.

"Brother Niu, what I said next, if King Chuang lets Tuo Yangkun, Liu Guoneng and Zhang Yichuan lead the army alone, that is to really believe in the three of them, but let the three of them be together, that is to calculate them, you and I both know that among the three, whether it is qualifications or ability, Tuo Yangkun is the worst, but he is the leader, so Liu Guoneng and Zhang Yichuan will be convinced, this is not convincing, they will make trouble, the three of them are all short-tempered, and they may use the knife if they disagree, according to my expectations, Liu Guoneng and Zhang Yichuan will soon unite, To deal with Tuoyangkun, Tuoyangkun's life is not long. ”

Speaking of this, Song Xiance sighed.

"After Tuoyangkun is finished, Zhang Yichuan and Liu Guoneng will also pinch each other, and in the end they can only have one leader, so they calculate and fight with each other, how can they lead the righteous army to fight, King Chuang doesn't believe in the three of them, and his intentions are too ......"

After taking another sip of wine, Song Xiance seemed to be a little drunk.

"Brother Niu, you and I also have to think about what to do in the future, if we are not careful, our ending may not be much better than Tuo Yangkun and others, King Chuang trusts Gu Junen the most, after Gu Junen came back, King Chuang immediately made up his mind."

Niu Jinxing was also silent, picked up the wine bowl, and drank it in one go. (To be continued)
