Huang Ziren persuaded Gao Zilin and Gao Yingxiang to control all the guards who were originally loyal to Zhu Zijian, the king of Shunyi, and cleaned up the conference hall, inviting Gao Zilin, Gao Yingxiang, and Ye Yanqing to discuss the matter together.

Huang Ziren came to power strongly, although Gao Zilin and Gao Yingxiang said that they took into account the overall situation of the national army and temporarily agreed to support Huang Ziren to take power, but after all, the time was too hasty, and it would take time for the change of mentality.

The military advisor Gao Zilin's face sank like water, and Gao Yingxiang was like an old monk in his meditation, with an expressionless face.

Huang Ziren discussed the matter, and among the generals of the People's Army, there were Wang Zuogui, Huang Jiayin and others, but the two of them are still in the future.

Huang Ziren's face was very ugly, and Gao Yingxiang, the military division of the court, said: "Wang Zuogui and Huang Jiayin have not arrived yet, but they are dissatisfied with this general? ”

Gao Yingxiang snorted lightly.

Military advisor Gao Zilin said in a deep voice: "General Huang, Wang Zuovain and Huang Jiayin have only a few thousand soldiers and horses, so there is no need to worry. If the general wants to control all the military power of the hundreds of thousands of people's army, the only person to worry about should be General Zhao Yongyong, who is stationed in Hanyin. Zhao Yongheng was originally Zhu Zijian's guard commander, this person has always been the confidant of Zhu Zijian, the king of Shunyi, and won Zhu Zijian's trust. If this person learns that General Huang murdered Zhu Zijian, he will definitely not give up! ”

When Huang Ziren heard this, he smiled with confidence and said, "The military advisor is very worried. However, although the military advisor was relieved, the general had ordered someone to imitate Zhu Zijian's handwriting, and ordered Zhao Yongyong to come and join the army. As soon as he enters the city, General Ben will surely kill him. Take all 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands! ”

Gao Zilin estimated in his heart that he would go from Han to Chenggu. Fast horses also take two or three days. Gao Zilin sighed: "I hope so." And he said, "General Huang." Gao lurked in Hanzhong City for several days, and finally assassinated Xu Liang in one fell swoop, Xu Liang will definitely die! As soon as Xu Liang died, the Liang army in Hanzhong City must be unstable, and now is a good time to capture Hanzhong City! The general might as well gather his troops and horses and take Hanzhong City in one fell swoop. ”

Huang Ziren was taken aback and asked, "Is this true?" ”

Gao Zilin nodded and recounted the assassination of Xu Liang. Everyone in the hall was overjoyed. Huang Ziren heard that Gao Zilin actually smeared poison on the dagger, and sighed that Gao Zilin was ruthless. I can't help but be very wary of Gao Zilin. Squinted at Gao Zilin triumphantly, and secretly slandered himself: This person is the protector of the Wenxiang Sect, with strong martial arts and a vicious heart, so he can be guarded against in the future.

Huang Ziren heard Gao Zilin's words and confirmed that Xu Liang would definitely die, and he suspected that Xu Liang would not die so lightly, but when he thought that Xu Liang died like this, he felt a sense of loss.

He was a scheming man. Immediately clapped his hands and said with a smile: "General Gao, the military advisor assassinated Xu Liang and made a miraculous contribution to our army." Right now, the hearts of the troops in Hanzhong City are scattered, and it is a good time to break through in one fell swoop, General Gao. You will have to lead the soldiers to take Hanzhong City in one fell swoop, and make another great contribution. ”

King Chuang Gao Yingxiang sneered in his heart. His troops were less than half of Huang Ziren's, but Huang Ziren asked him to attack Hanzhong City. He suspected that Huang Ziren was suspected of using himself as a gunman, so he pulled the corners of his mouth at the moment, chuckled, and spread his hands very regretfully: "The soldiers under this king have been fighting for days, and they are extremely tired, and they urgently need to rest and recuperate, so it is not suitable to fight again." If General Huang wants to take Hanzhong City as soon as possible, he might as well lead his army into battle in person. With the army of tigers and wolves under General Huang, this king believes that Hanzhong City will be destroyed in one battle. ”

Huang Ziren listened, restrained his smile, and said abruptly: "Since Xu Liang is dead, Liang Jun has nothing to worry about. At present, General Ben is newly in charge of the army, and it is important to rectify the internal affairs of the people's army, and it is not too late to attack Hanzhong City after Zhao Yongyong is cleaned up. Why not let it go for three or four days? ”

……

Gao Zilin and King Gao Yingxiang returned to Gao Yingxiang's camp together, and Gao Yingxiang slapped the table and scolded his mother: "Huang Ziren, a wolf-hearted thing, actually committed a crime and murdered King Shunyi." I want to preserve my strength and use this king as a gunman, hmph, I want to be beautiful! ”

He complained to the military advisor Gao Zilin and said, "Brother Gao, why didn't you let me cut him with a knife?" He dares to kill the king of Shunyi now, given the time and full wings, how can he take us in his eyes!"

Gao Zilin sighed: "Huang Ziren is a wolf, and I am very surprised. It's just that he has 80,000 people's troops under his command, and he and Ye Yanqing are both from Anton Zhongwei, and the two are in the same breath, if we kill Huang Ziren, what if Ye Yanqing really leads the 80,000 people's army to the government? In this way, the forces that we have tried our best to create in the middle and upper levels of the sect will not be greatly damaged? ”

King Chuang Gao Yingxiang said disapprerovingly: "Brother Gao is too worried, right?" Those hypocrites in the court are the most greedy and hypocritical! Huang Ziren and Ye Yanqing have been in trouble for Shaanxi for a long time, and in a hurry, they just want to lead the army to surrender, so it depends on whether the government accepts it. ”

"Brother, don't forget," Gao Zilin pressed his eyebrows with his hand and said with a wry smile: "Huang Ziren and Ye Yanqing were originally officials of the court, and before falling into the grass, Ye Yanqing was originally the commander of Anton Zhongwei, and Huang Ziren was the commander of the Tongzhi. Who knows if the two of them have an unknown way in the court? Be careful. ”

King Chuang Gao Yingxiang said angrily: "Then it is up to Huang Ziren and Ye Yanqing to get the ambition?" ”

Gao Zilin said compassionately: "The sect leader said that he is not afraid that there are savages below, as long as Huang Ziren really has the ability to turn the Ming Dynasty upside down, why not let him be the leader of the people's army?" Now that Zhu Zijian is dead, the matter is irreparable, and let them be allowed for a few days, if Huang Ziren has real skills, it would be fine, otherwise, this protector can slap him to death with one palm! ”

Gao Zilin said that when he heard the incense sect leader, he faintly had the meaning of passing the word on behalf of the sect leader, and King Gao Yingxiang couldn't help but be respectful and listened carefully.

Gao Zilin said: "Brother, you restrain your subordinates, I will go to Wang Zuogui and Huang Jiayin's camp to talk to them, so as not to cause trouble." ”

Gao Zilin went out of King Chuang's camp to persuade Wang Zuogui and Huang Jiayin to go.

The People's Army suddenly withdrew from outside Hanzhong City, and although Xu Liang was seriously injured and lying on a hospital bed, he was also deeply surprised. Urgently ordered the spies of the Tsing Yi Guard Detective Office scattered throughout Hanzhong Mansion to find out the reason.

Inside Hanzhong City. Dai Feng, deputy commander of Pingliang, organized his troops and nervously prepared materials to defend the city. He also recruited more than 6,000 young and strong men from Hanzhong City to serve as recruits for the Liang army. With the addition of the original troops, the number of soldiers in Hanzhong City reached more than 26,000.

A dozen or so people who had already accepted the arrangement of Hong Chengchou to participate in the administration of Shaanxi Province and served as temporary transitional officials in the prefectures and counties of Hanzhong Prefecture that had just been recovered heard that more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the People's Army were stationed in the vicinity of Chenggu County, which was not far from Hanzhong City. Each found a reason to slip away, this kind of strange thing, so angry that Hong participated in politics and blew his beard and glared, and almost scolded his mother on the street.

When Hong Shenzheng visited Xu Liang, he told these bad things, and Xu Liang was speechless when he heard it. At this time, Dai Feng reported the news found by the spies of the Tsing Yi Guard Detective Department.

When Xu Liang heard this, he glanced at Hong Shenzheng and was shocked.

"You mean. Huang Ziren, who had just returned to Hanzhong Mansion with his army, suddenly launched a mutiny, killed Zhu Zijian, the king of Shunyi, and wanted to replace him? Xu Liang was speechless, and his eyes widened and he confirmed again at Dai Feng.

Dai Feng nodded. Affirmatively: "Yes." This is the news that our spies lurking in the civilian army did everything possible to get out. However, although the military advisor Gao Zilin and King Gao Yingxiang agreed, it seems that Wang Zuogui and Huang Jiayin have a mustard. Did not attend the meeting organized by Huang Ziren. ”

"It seems that Huang Ziren wants to be on top. Some generals in the people's army are not convinced. Hong Senzheng touched the short beard on his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Not bad." Dai Feng Dao. "And according to another piece of news from our spies, the Nationalist Army stopped attacking Hanzhong City because Zhao Yong, a close confidant of Zhu Zijian, the king of Shunyi stationed in Hanyin, was going to lead his troops to Bangu County to join the large forces of the Nationalist Army. According to the spies who circulated the letter, Huang Ziren most likely wanted to kill Zhao Yongyong and seize the soldiers and horses in Zhao's hands. ”

"Zhao Yong?" Xu Liang smiled, thoughtfully, and muttered, "Hasn't this bastard changed his name to Zhao Dong?" When did you change your name again? ”

"Guozhong, do you recognize this Zhao Yongyong?" Hong asked in surprise.

Xu Liang felt that his head was resting on two or three cotton pillows, which was a little uncomfortable, and motioned to the waiting maid ring to remove one to make himself more comfortable.

"This surnamed Zhao was originally a guard commander of the Pingliang Han Palace, and he won Zhu Zijian's trust and was one of Zhu Zijian's henchmen. Guwonju mutiny, in which this person played an irreplaceable driving role. Hehe, if the surnamed Zhao knew that Huang Ziren had killed Zhu Zijian, he would have to find Huang Ziren desperately! Well? Wrong! ”

Xu Liang suddenly came to his senses, and said to Dai Feng and Hong Shenzheng: "Zhao Yongyong led troops to Chenggu to join the people's army, most likely because he didn't know that Huang Ziren had murdered Zhu Zijian. Huang Ziren did not move, it must have been to deal with Zhao Yong. Once Huang Ziren has cleaned up the surname Zhao, when the people's army is united, they will definitely turn the knife around and attack Hanzhong City! ”

"Well, that's good!" Hong Senzheng and Dai Feng both nodded in agreement.

Hong Shenzheng had a worried face, and said slowly: "From Hanyin to Chenggu, it is only two or three days away. In other words, the people's army does not have much time left for us, and we must use this limited time to prepare as many equipment as possible to defend the city, food and herbs, for the purpose of defending the city. ”

Dai Feng sighed: "Lord Hong, the disparity between the enemy and our forces is too great, and our army is not a long-term solution to defend Hanzhong City. ”

Hong Shenzheng's face was gloomy, and he said with little confidence: "Don't worry, the governor of the three sides, Lord Wu, will not watch our army fall into the encirclement of the people's army and ignore it." ”

Dai Feng looked at Hong Shenzheng and said with a wry smile: "I hope." ”

At this time, Xu Liang's eyes flashed, and he smiled at Dai Feng and Hong Shenzheng: "Two, even if we have already guessed that Huang Ziren is going to deal with Zhao Yongheng, and I guess that Huang Ziren suddenly made a difficulty, it is not easy to completely gain the trust of the generals in the people's army in a hurry. Perhaps, now among the people's army, there is mutual suspicion. I'm sinking, this is a good chance for the Jedi to fight back! ”

"Huh? Xu Liang: What good plan do you think of? Hong Shenzheng and Dai Feng both asked.

Xu Liang smiled slyly, beckoned Hong to sit closer to Dai Feng, and elaborated on the plan that came to mind like this.

Hong Shenzheng and Dai Feng listened, their faces became extremely exciting, a moment of confusion, and a burst of heartbeat.

"Wouldn't that be too risky?" Hong said hesitantly.

Xu Liang said: "Wealth and danger are sought, and the risk is great, and the return is great." ”

"But what if all the soldiers who can fight are sent out, and if they are discovered by the people's army, they will be surrounded by the people's army? Relying on the thousands of newly recruited people, they can't hold Hanzhong City. Dai Feng was also worried and asked.

Xu Liang saw that the idea he came up with, not only failed to get the strong support of Hong Shenzheng and Dai Feng, but aroused the suspicion of the two of them, he couldn't help rolling his eyes, and asked the two angrily: "Then according to the judgment of the two of you, we have less than 30,000 troops, and there are more than 6,000 recruits who have never been on the battlefield and killed people. ”

Hong Shenzheng said: "The trilateral governor Lord Wu ......"

"Don't mention Martial Arts to me!" Xu Liang interrupted stiffly, "Lord Hong, you should know better than me that there are no available soldiers around Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides!" ”

"Uh......" Hong Shenzheng was silent, since the window curtain paper was pierced, the three of them knew that the possibility of the court sending heavy troops to come in the short term was almost zero.

Xu Liang said: "Instead of sitting still, it's better to give it a go!" Even if you can't inflict heavy damage on the civilian army, it's good to be able to disgust the enemy. ”

Hong participated in politics, Dai Feng listened, and nodded slowly.

It's a night in mid-March, and the night is dark and windy! In the courtyard of the mansion where Huang Ziren lives, the lights are bright.

Huang Ziren was full of wine, and together with Ye Yanqing, he sent away Wang Zuogui and Huang Jiayin, the leaders of the People's Army, who had just come to the door to ask for guilt. Looking at Wang and Huang leaving the gate of the house, Huang Ziren suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, patted Ye Yanqing's shoulder very comfortably, and said with a smile: "General Ye, from this moment on, hundreds of thousands of people's troops are all in my hands." ”

Ye Yanqing reminded: "General Huang, the most troublesome is still to come. According to the report of his subordinates, Zhao Yongyong led 20,000 people's troops to the vicinity of Xixiang County, and it is expected that he will be able to come to Chenggu County tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. ”

Huang Ziren laughed, didn't take Zhao Yong to heart, hugged Ye Yanqing's shoulder, and said, "He's sending him to death!" Let's go back and have a few more drinks. ”

Huang Ziren pulled Ye Yanqing back to the hall, ordered someone to serve some wine and food again, and ordered a few dancers to dance and accompany the wine, and the two enjoyed the moving dance while drinking and eating meat happily.

There were two or three more jars of wine, and both of them were drunk and hazy. Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps outside the hall.

"Report!" A soldier of the People's Army rushed in and reported: "General Huang, someone in Wang Zuogui's camp attacked the camp late at night!" More than 400 people were killed! ”

"Who dares to be so bold!" Huang Ziren heard the word attack on the camp at first, and the wine was half frightened and woke up, and asked urgently.

"The invading enemy has been killed by General Wang!" The soldier reported again.

Huang Ziren laughed and said, "Already retired?" That's a good idea. I only heard him muttering in a low voice: "Wang Zuogui's men and horses, it's better to die more......"

After a while, another soldier came to report.

"Report! Oh no, General! King Gao Yingxiang and Huang Jiayin sent people to report that the camp was attacked! ”

Huang Ziren was full of wine, and when he heard the words, he danced and laughed.

"Is there anything unusual in our camp?" He asked.

"General, there is no abnormality!" The soldier replied.

"Well, that's good, it's none of your business, let's go down." Huang Ziren grinned and waved his hand to send the soldier away.

Ye Yanqing was more sober, and asked Huang Ziren worriedly: "General Huang, all battalions have been attacked and have been reported, do you want to send someone over to take a look?" ”

Huang Ziren waved his hand and said, "No need, as long as we are safe in the camp." The people of the other battalions, it's good that they are all dead! ”

Ye Yanqing's eyes widened, even if Huang Ziren didn't trust Gao Yingxiang and Wang Zuogui and others, it was a bit too much to say such things, he saw that Huang Ziren was drunk and drunk, obviously nonsense, so he didn't want to say anything.

Ye Yanqing got up, and was about to beckon Yahuan to come over and help Huang Ziren to go to the bedside, when he suddenly heard a loud killing sound outside! The direction of listening to the sound of killing is the direction of Huang Ziren's camp.

Ye Yanqing's face turned pale! A shocked word lit up in my heart: Night Attack! (To be continued......)
