Chapter 353: The Smell of Conspiracy

In the blink of an eye, in late February, in Chengcheng, Shaanxi, Li Jiajun was entrenched here, and among the former government and county offices, Li Zicheng and others sat in the back hall, listening to Tian Jianxiu's information about Gao Yingxiang.

"Boss, fortunately, we evacuated in time that day, and we didn't stay in Nanzhili and Henan for more."

Tian Jianxiu sighed, showing a look of happiness, and then went straight to the point.

"Boss, since we left, Leader Gao has not been able to capture Shouzhou, and has to go west to Guide Mansion in Henan. However, this is not the end, but the beginning of the nightmare. After the high leader entered the Guide Mansion in the west, he led the army directly into Kaifeng Mansion, wanting to cross the Yellow River and then enter Shanxi. ”

However, as soon as they arrived at the crossing of the Yellow River, all the ships there were burned by the general soldier Liu Zeqing, and they had to turn around and return to the area of Luzhou Mansion. However, before the people arrived in Nanzhili, they met Zu Dale on the road again, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry had a big fight, and the result was that the soldiers were defeated, and they turned around again and entered Kaifeng Mansion, and met the general soldier Chen Yongfu, and suffered defeat again, and finally fled to Qiding Mountain in a hurry, with nearly 100,000 people under his hands, and the strength was only more than twice that of Lu Xiangsheng, and there were more than 30,000 heavy cavalry. ”

"Haha... It's really an eye~! Liu Fangliang couldn't hold back any longer, laughed out loud with schadenfreude, and said: "This old thief will use us as a target to attract Lu Xiangsheng's main force, so that the Li family army has suffered heavy losses, but he took the opportunity to attack Shouzhou and want to swallow a granary alone, it is really a cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unhappy, leaving our Li family army, losing again and again, he is nothing, like a lost dog, being chased and killed by Lu Xiangsheng in all directions." ”

Li Zicheng didn't stop Liu Fangliang this time, and a mocking smile appeared on his own face, and there was a sense of relief in his heart.

After Liu Fangliang finished speaking, he spoke the common voice of everyone, and Tian Jianxiu continued the topic just now.

"And, Boss, this is not over yet, there is an even greater calamity waiting for the High Chief. As soon as he arrived at Qiding Mountain, the high leader fell into Lu Xiangsheng's ambush again, under the attack of Zu Dale, Zu Kuan and Chen Yongfu and others, the troops were greatly reduced, and they were beaten to the point that they had no power to fight back, and the main force was almost completely annihilated, and only fled with a few thousand people to seize the road and enter the Huguangyun and Xiang areas. ”

"However, the high leader did not gain nothing, and did not win the battle. When attacking Mi County and breaking Dengzhou, he killed the famous general Tang Jiuzhou, which can be regarded as a bad breath. ”

At this moment, after Tian Jianxiu finished speaking, everyone's hearts were full of joy, so happy, there was a sense of pleasure after revenge, and their hearts were immediately relieved, and they all tacitly showed a "charming" smile.

Just when everyone was in a happy mood, Gu Junen had a thoughtful look on his face, and then said in a deep voice: "Boss, my subordinates always feel that things are not so simple, and there is always a sense of conspiracy. It seems that since the first battle in Chuzhou, there has always been a feeling of being calculated by the high leader. ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the hearts of everyone in the hall, and Li Zicheng frowned slightly, and asked at the right time: "Military advisor, how do you say this?" What what conspiracy? ”

"Boss, you see, from the time we joined forces with Leader Gao, Zhang Xianzhong and others to attack Chuzhou City, it was like the beginning of a conspiracy, Leader Gao lost one after another, and the rebel army suffered great losses, Lu Xiangsheng made a lot of gains, and directly disabled Leader Gao, pulled this 'No. 1 strong man' off his horse, and beat him into a poor egg, if there is no conspiracy, if there is no calculation in advance, the subordinates really can't believe that this is a coincidence."

As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the hall, and Gu Junen's words caused everyone to think deeply, and they began to feel the taste, there was indeed a smell of conspiracy, and they were put on the table.

Otherwise, even if Gao Yingxiang is reciting it, it is impossible to be unlucky to this extent, there are ambushes everywhere, or they are cut off by others, and they are almost to the point where they are stuffed between their teeth when they drink cold water!

However, everyone didn't care, and it wasn't them who were unlucky! What's more, Li Jiajun was bitter by Gao Yingxiang, and most of the elite soldiers were lost, and everyone longed for Gao Yingxiang to be captured and killed alive, which would be more hateful!

"Boss, whatever? Regardless of whether there is any conspiracy or not, it is finally out of breath for us. Otherwise, the brothers will have to die of resignation! Liu Zongmin said with a grin, looking happy.

"Hey... Liu Zongmin, you can't say that, you don't understand what the military advisor means. Li Zicheng waved his hand again and again, and then said: "If it is really a conspiracy, the plotter must be Lu Xiangsheng, and the military advisor should want to remind us that although Lu Xiangsheng has taken a bad breath for us, it also shows that he is an extremely difficult opponent and poses a great threat to our Li family's army." ”

"Yes, boss, that's what my subordinates mean." Gu Junen echoed, and then continued: "If all this is true, Lu Xiangsheng's scheming is really terrifying, when we attacked Chuzhou, in such a short period of time, we designed such a trap, one link after another, killing every step, and almost counting all the actions of the high leader. ”

Tian Jianxiu showed a solemn expression, and then said: "Scheming, thoughtful, and good at training and fighting, if you are against us in the future, with the same troops, it is difficult to say who loses and who wins." ”

Hearing these words, everyone felt terrible when they thought about it, this Lu Xiangsheng was too calculating, and his ability to calculate was chilling and creepy.

"See Xiu, immediately send a letter to Mr. Xu and Wu Ruyi, fully activate Henan's intelligence system, closely monitor Lu Xiangsheng's every move, collect all his information, and make a report to indicate his strengths and weaknesses."

Li Zicheng calmly issued a command, his eyes flashed, and Tian Jianxiu immediately responded: "Yes, boss!" ”

At this time, as if he had thought of something, Tian Jianxiu said abruptly: "Boss, Lu Xiangsheng almost wiped out the headquarters of the high leader with the help of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, but he failed to contain the situation between Henan and Nanzhili, but instead intensified the people's anger, faintly showing a boiling trend. ”

"Oh, Jianxiu, what do you mean by that? What's going on? ”

......

At the same time, far away in Nanyang Mansion in Henan, among the post stations, Lu Xiangsheng and Henan Governor Chen Biqian sat opposite each other, the latter looked worried, and said anxiously: "My lord, you better hurry up and restrain the ancestral commanders!" If it continues like this, it will be really difficult for the lower officials to do it, and they will have to be drowned by the spittle stars of the people! ”

"Lord Chen, is it an exaggeration? What exactly is it? Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly. Lu Xiangsheng had a bad feeling in his heart, and seemed to have guessed what Chen Biqian was about to say, and said calmly.

"My lord, how can the lower officials not be in a hurry? Although these Liaodong soldiers are brave and good at fighting, they are also extremely fierce and wild, unbound by laws and regulations, relying on repeated military exploits, burning houses and women wherever they pass, without restraint, which has aroused the anger of the people. If this continues, the lower officials will not be able to suppress the anger of the people. ”

Although I had heard it and had guesses, but when I heard what Chen Biqian said in person, he looked anxious again, Lu Xiangsheng's calm expression finally made waves, and he was shocked, but he still pretended to be calm, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Chen, don't worry, it won't be long before this Guanning iron cavalry will go to Shaanxi and accept Hong Chengchou's control, and bear with it~!" ”

"Hey~ What's going on? Being an official can't be the master of the people......" Chen Biqian sighed, then pulled out and bowed his hand to Lu Xiangsheng: "Since this is the case, my lord, then the official will retire first." ”

Looking at Chen Biqian's departing figure, Lu Xiangsheng showed a wry smile and muttered: "If it weren't for Zu Dale, who were lazy and didn't fight, and refused to go into the mountains to suppress bandits, how could this official let such an elite army of soldiers and horses leave?" ”
