Chapter 120: Smart People Die Quickly
The first wind and rain drifted away
The leader of the alliance, King Gao Chuang, gave an order, but unfortunately the people below did not move, but looked at him one by one.
Because, King Chuang did not specify who to send to fight.
Yes, although it is advertised to the outside world that they are 100,000 people as a whole, in fact, only they know what is going on.
The traitors who were forced into Henan this time were unprecedented, and there were hundreds of leaders of all sizes alone.
Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, Gao Yingxiang, Luo Rucai, Liu Guoneng and other big-name figures are among them.
The total number of rebels reached a record high of more than 200,000.
Because as always, in the face of the pursuit of the officers and troops, they retreated one after another.
In the end, at the suggestion of King Gao Chuang, they held a meeting in Xingyang, Henan, which was known as the "Xingyang Conference" in history.
After this meeting, before the division of troops, all the bigwigs said one after another that they should unify their thinking, concentrate their forces, and act together.
However, after all, for their own reasons, they either suspect each other, or exclude each other, or kill each other, and it is difficult for them to unify their minds as they say.
King Gao Chuang is only the nominal leader of the alliance, just because he has sixty or seventy thousand horses in his hands, and he is the strongest.
If there is a good fight or a good deal, they naturally don't need to break the king's orders, and they rush up with a roar.
But now, more than 1,000 officers and soldiers dare to challenge 100,000 people, and this team is in danger.
"Fly on the grass, you take the people to explore the reality?"
The atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and King Gao Chuang's face sank, and he shouted loudly.
Flying Kusamami was one of the rebel leaders of this joint camp, and he was at the bottom of the ranks among the battalions.
"Break ...... Obey, King! ”
The grass flew with a broken face, and he was about to refuse, but he saw a man beside King Gao Chuang who was full of flesh, fierce and hideous, and had a face as hard as a hedgehog and a thorny beard glaring at him angrily, so he changed what he said.
This man's name is Liu Zongmin, a native of Lantian, Shaanxi, like Li Zicheng, who was under Gao Yingxiang's account, and is one of his right-hand men, and is currently serving as a military judge.
Alas, the strength is not as good as people!
Cao Shangfei cursed in his heart, walked to the headquarters and didn't speak, jumped on his horse, and shouted: "The whole army is attacking!" ”
As soon as these words were finished, the four thousand Liukou cavalry, howling like wolves to cheer themselves up, shouted and chased their horses to the Ming cavalry about 100 steps away from them.
The Ming cavalry, as if deliberately waiting for the rogue's action, immediately turned their horses and fled backwards.
The 4,000 Liukou cavalry was greatly increased in confidence and pursued closely.
Soon, the Ming cavalry that fled in front and the Liukou cavalry who pursued behind disappeared into the horizon together.
About half an hour or so had passed, and the pursuing rogue cavalry had not yet returned.
"Damn, these bastards haven't come back for so long, and they haven't sent anyone to report back, what are they doing!"
Zhang Xianzhong, who was cowering in the cold phoenix, frowned and shouted.
King Gao Chuang was also impatient, and was about to send a few people to investigate again, when the grass flew back.
It's just that it seems a little miserable.
He was covered in blood and howled, and was carried back by two guards.
As soon as he saw King Gao Chuang and Zhang Xianzhong, the howls were even worse, and tears rushed out of the Dao traces on his face full of human blood, and he choked up:
"King Chuang, the Eight Kings, my old brother! A battalion of more than 4,000 elites, as soon as one charged, it was not visible. ”
Before Cao Shangfei could finish speaking, the deputy he ordered to stay behind also ran over crying: "Brother Zhang, Minggou is too fierce, we can't resist it."
King Chuang, hurry up and send troops to rescue the brothers.
The old brothers I brought from Shaanxi have already lost all of them here, so I beg you to send troops quickly, otherwise it will be too late. ”
Zhang Xianzhong shouted: "Li Gouzi, look at what you are doing." I think that in Shaanxi back then, you were also a good man admired by everyone, why did you cry like a girl today? ”
Gao Yingxiang, who had not spoken, opened his mouth and asked: "Fly on the grass, Li Gouzi, how many people have you fled back, how many are still on the battlefield, and how many people are in Minggou?" ”
Cao Shangfei just kept crying, and Li Gouzi replied on his behalf: "The little one brought out more than 800 people, and the other soldiers didn't know where they were swept away?"
There were about 3,000 Ming dogs, and they were hiding in the mountains and suddenly rushed out, and the brothers couldn't stop them. ”
"Whose troops?" King Gao Chuang asked nervously.
Li Gouzi replied weakly: "I didn't see it clearly, they didn't raise the flag." ”
King Gao Chuang was so angry that his nose was crooked, what kind of fucking battle is this?
After half an hour of hard work, these two cowards left the troops and escaped by themselves, not even knowing the opponent?
What a rabble.
But it's okay, it's not your own troops anyway.
Simply, take the opportunity to get rid of it.
Thinking of this, his face softened, and he said to Li Gouzi: "We don't understand what the situation is on this battlefield, and we don't know what the other party's situation is?"
Why don't you take the two thousand brothers of the kamikaze battalion and go back quickly and bring the troops back, and this king will order the brothers of the old camp to answer you.
When this battle is over, and there are prisoners in the future, I will first replenish your forces. Moreover, the seized materials and equipment are at your disposal. ”
The kamikaze battalion listened to the wind, but it was actually a cannon fodder unit. Just like the grass flying and Li Ergou, the leader was killed by the officers and soldiers, and some rabble temporarily gathered together.
Li Ergou lacked roots, and he still wanted to fight, his heart moved, and he arched his hand: "Brother Gao, I can trust you, so be it!" ”
There are smart people!
At this time, Cao Shangfei shouted: "King Chuang, if it is a weekday, what do you say, my brother will naturally agree."
However, if I were to be asked to fight again, it would be impossible.
That's right, you promised to give me the reinforcement when the time comes, and I naturally believe you.
However, these 800 people under my command are the backbone of the army, if they are all lost here, even if King Chuang makes up 100,000 displaced people for me in the future, it will be useless? ”
Speaking of this, tears flowed from his eyes again, and he played the emotional card: "Brother Gao, these more than 800 people are all the soldiers I brought from Fengxiang!"
You left some blood and bones for our Fengxiang camp, and we were allowed to go up again!
Although the other party didn't know whose team it was, it was either Guan Ning's iron cavalry or King Luyan's Tianxiong army.
Otherwise, other units would not have such strong combat effectiveness and would not have been so ruthless. ”
As soon as he cried like this, the other rebel leaders under the banner of the Chinese army were all in their hearts, and only then did they realize the seriousness of the problem.
The road to the south is not all smooth sailing.
Although the soldiers and horses of Nanzhili are no longer available, there are still Tianxiong troops and Guan Ning Tiecai.
With such a large formation, the imperial court will definitely try its best to block them.
When the time comes, when a big war starts, the casualties will definitely not be small.
King Gao Chuang and Zhang Xianzhong are both powerful and injured, but we have to break our muscles and bones, and we don't know when we will recover.
The sound of the wind, screams, and fighting came in bursts, and everyone's eyes fell on King Gao Chuang, and no one spoke.
"Fly on the grass, fly on the grass, what do I say about you?
Don't you know what going south means to my rebels? Why are you so confused! ”
Gao Yingxiangrui's face was distressed, and he hated iron and steel.
"Brother Gao, you just let my Fengxiang camp ......" Cao Shangfei licked his dry lips, and was about to beg.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light.
The head of the grass flew high in the air, and the blood in his chest shot out, splashing the face of King Gao Chuang.
He didn't care, slowly withdrew his waist knife, and said to the slowly fallen headless body with a heavy face: "Brother Caoshangfei, for the sake of our righteous army, for the future of tens of millions of brothers, Gao can only be sorry for you."
When the war is over, I, Gao Yingxiang, will definitely go to your grave and kowtow to make amends. ”
After speaking, he raised his head again and said to the rebel generals: "Brothers, this king will not say much, the road to the south has long been set and has not changed.
There are those who want to quit, but it's still too late, this king will give it away, and they will still be brothers in the future.
Those who are willing to stay, naturally better.
Brothers can also drink and eat meat together, just ......"
"The Eight Kings are willing to listen to the king's orders!"
Zhang Xianzhong clenched his fists with both hands and said loudly.
What else can I do? Could it be that the pursuit of the Tianxiong Army and the Guanning Iron Cavalry alone could not be achieved?
Seeing this, the other rebel generals sighed in their hearts, and also learned from Zhang Xianzhong to report his reputation as a leader and said:
"A glimmer of heaven is willing to listen to the king's orders!"
"The unicorn dragon is willing to listen to the king's orders!"
"The Diamond Mountain Leopard is willing to listen to the king's orders!"
……
"Good brother, fuck it!" With a sound of brushing the ground, Gao Yingxiang drew a knife in his hand, and then raised it high and shouted loudly:
"Spread the order of the king, the whole army marched south, don't care about these small counties and towns, don't be dragged by Minggou, and go straight to Jinling City.
"Order!" The crowd below shouted loudly, and the sound shook like thunder.
Nearly 13,000 rogue cavalry marched in front. The galloping horses' hooves were like countless drums beating the earth, making a deafening rumbling sound.
The other rogue infantrymen followed closely behind, and the sound of their footsteps, mixed with the friction and collision of armor and weapons, had a terrifying power and murderous aura.
It should be said that although King Gao Chuang has never read, has not taken an exam, and has no culture, his judgment is correct and his ambitions are lofty.
The chasing soldiers behind are indeed not many, and it is Brother Pingtou's younger brother Cao Bianjiao who led a team to solve the crisis in Song County on the orders of Lao Sun Tou.
If you can, entangle him by the way, and wait for the old grandson's army to destroy King Gaochuang.
As for being ambitious, this is amazing, how can it be like someone who has not read?
King Gao Chuang knew that no matter how much trouble they made in Henan, they were just grass cowards.
The end can only be to either open up wasteland in Henan, or go to Shanxi to dig soil, or go to Huguang to drill ravines, what can be done?
To this end, he sets great strategic goals.
That is to seize Nanjing.
Therefore, he will set off from Henan with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to prepare for the great cause.
Moreover, the line he chose was almost exactly the same as that of Comrade Taizu Zhu Chongba at the beginning.
That was to capture Chuzhou, and then set out from Chuzhou, and then capture Nanjing.
This plan is highly feasible and not a pipe dream.
Because Chuzhou is only a prefecture-level city, there are not many people and soldiers.
And they, including more than a dozen leaders such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and more than 100,000 people, are the strongest and most capable teams.
They have done a good job of the most correct line and set the most lofty ideals and goals.
Therefore, any obstacle that stands in front of them will be forcefully cleared by King Gaochuang.
And flying on the grass is just a small grain of sand, which happened to be used by King Gao Chuang to establish his power and improve the cohesion of the team.
Smart people usually die quickly!
Such examples abound throughout history.

From now on, two chapters a day, the same number of words as three chapters a day, right?
