Chapter Eighty-Six: Those who enter the city first are the main ones
The other party not only knows his own information, but even Xiang Hua's details have been revealed!
Xu Maodian's compassionate face, which had remained unchanged all year round, became a little stiff, and under the shock, he couldn't even hear what Chen Wu was saying in the follow-up for a while. @, he came on this trip, and his idea was to make friends with the Taiping Righteous Army, and by the way, he explored the bottom of the family, and Xiang Hua walked in the name of personal guards. Who would have thought that the enemy's true details were not seen much, and all the secrets of his own family were revealed.
Especially the sentence "How can there be a thousand people"!
The number of the Dharma Protector is the biggest secret of the Good Friends Society, and this is the starting force of their rebellion. Not to mention outsiders, even the dozen or so incense masters in the Good Friends Association are only known in detail by a few absolutely loyal backbones. This kind of information was casually said, which made Xu Maodian feel chilled from the bottom of his heart.
It was as if every qiΔ in their own house had been cut open and observed in the sun, without the slightest secret.
This Taiping Rebel Army is even more terrifying than imagined!
Next to Xu Maodian, Xiang Hua's heart was also not calm.
Many of the martial arts of those Dharma Protector Buddha soldiers were taught by him personally. The most accurate number, he knew better than anyone in the Good Friends, was now being said at random by an irrelevant outsider. If it weren't for the fact that his skin was already darker and he couldn't see any changes, otherwise his face would be even more ugly than Xu Maodian.
ββ¦β¦ Speaking of which, Viscount Wang Huifang really values our rebel army. The first time he came to the door, he personally sent two elders, which made the general a little flattered...... Mr. Xu? Are you listening? Hey, your face is a little bad, is it because you are not feeling well? β
Seeing that Chen Wu seemed to care about himself sincerely, Xu Maodian didn't know why, he suddenly felt a sense of boredom in his heart, and always felt that there seemed to be inexplicable malice hidden under the other party's expression. However, the old rivers and lakes for many years still calmed him down quickly, and said with a smile: "The tired general is concerned, but he was a little overworked and didn't rest well when dealing with the officers and soldiers last night, so it's okay." β
"Really? That would have been relieved. β
Chen Wu nodded, as if he was relieved, but he was secretly laughing in his heart.
What I didn't have just now was something that could be seen everywhere on the player forums after the Friends of the Good Friends uprising was suppressed in the previous life. But until now, people in this world who can say it casually are only afraid of counting on one hand. The two in front of me, I'm afraid my heart jumped to my throat just now.
Feeling that Ma Wei had almost given it, he looked at the two people who were still pretending to be calm, and then he got to the point: "I would have been very pleased to see the two friends of the Good Friends Association. But then again, what did the two of them say before, what are they trying to talk about with Ben General? β
Overly surprised, Xu Maodian almost forgot his intention, and was only remembered by Chen Wuyi. Sitting solemnly, he said to Chen Wu: "I was about to tell General SΓΉ that Xu came to discuss the alliance with the Taiping Righteous Army at the behest of the head of my family." β
Chen Wu nodded, signaling that he heard it, and let him continue.
"General Chen is indignant at the imperial ****, and he is trying to overthrow the empire and crusade against the unreasonable, and our lord admires it very much. It just so happened that our Good Friends Association was also dissatisfied with the Empire, and yesterday they started to capture Linxian. At present, there are 50,000 troops, 2,000 elite soldiers, dozens of generals, and countless believers in other places. It's just that the puppet emperor Qianyuanji has been in power for many years and has millions of troops, which is not so easy to overthrow. Therefore, my good friends want to form an alliance with the rebels and jointly crusade against the puppet dynasty. I don't know if the general will do it? β
50,000 troops, 2,000 elite soldiers, and dozens of generals?
Chen Wu was a little thirsty as he said just now, and he was holding up his teacup and wanting to drink tea. Listening to his boasting, his mouth moved, and he almost didn't squirt out the tea he had just drunk.
Your army of 50,000 is only the civilians of Linxian who just occupied, right?
Two thousand elite soldiers?
Chen Wu was sure that if he hadn't exposed their old bottom just now and said that there were a thousand Dharma Protector Buddha soldiers, he was afraid that he would be able to blow this number up by three or five times.
As for the dozens of generals, that's even more untouchable!
In the entire Good Friends Association, the only one who can be called a war general is the Xiang Hua in front of him, and the others are just generals among the dwarves. If there are really dozens of generals, in the future, the army of your Good Friends Association will even attack a Yicheng with so much effort, and you need Shi Xianqian to sneak attack to help open the city gate? Among them, although there are a few years later, the situation is different from the present, but it is enough to show that the Good Friends Association has never had a useful talent.
However, it is funny in my heart, but in this kind of thing, Chen Wu and him are half a catty and eight taels, and they really have no position to despise each other.
His Taiping Righteous Army fought all the way to Linxian, and the banner was not "100,000 Righteous Army"......
Chen Wu was strict on the surface, and he was thinking about things that he couldn't beat with eight poles in his heart, but Xu Maodian naturally couldn't see it. He only thought that Chen Wu seemed to be hesitating, or that he didn't want to form an alliance with the Good Friends. If there was no previous conversation, he would definitely think that Chen Wu was pretending to be pretending. But now, his own details have been exposed, and he has an unpredictable feeling about Chen Wu, so he is naturally uncertain, and he can't help but be a little anxious.
The power of the Good Friends Association is still not enough to infiltrate Longshan Mansion!
Originally, Xu Maodian and Wang Huifang privately predicted that it would take at least a few more years, and the external environment would be suitable, such as a natural disaster or a war with an enemy country, before they could raise an army to rebel. To do it now, it is completely influenced by Chen Wu. With the current strength of the Good Friends Association, they are not sure enough to take Longshan alone. Even if they barely managed it, they would never be able to stop the army of the county towns that followed.
If he wants to succeed, he must unite with Chen Wu's rebel army, and it is better to be able to swallow it - of course, now he has almost no hope for the latter idea.
"It's okay to form an alliance."
Just when Xu Maodian was a little out of breath and wanted to speak again to persuade him, Chen Wu finally said an answer that made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Since the Good Friends Society and our rebel army have a common enemy, the two sides can naturally form an alliance and work together to overthrow the empire." Chen Wu first gave Xu Maodian a positive answer, and then changed the conversation and said: "It's just that the alliance is an alliance, but some things have to be discussed in advance, so as not to have a conflict and spoil the friendship." β
Xu Maodian nodded and said, "This is natural!" Before I came, the head of my family also instructed me to make full decisions if there was a dispute. What is the problem, please the general just say. β
"It's a pleasure to talk to Mr. Xu." Chen Wu praised and said, "You and I have two alliances, who is the main and who is the second?" β
This is a question that cannot be left unexplained.
Long before the Taiping Righteous Army captured Lushan, Xu Maodian discussed relevant matters with Wang Huifang. Combined with what he saw and heard after the contact between the two sides, he groaned slightly, and then said the second set of words he had prepared: "Although the strength of the righteous army is huge, our Good Friends Association is not bad, and it has more than ten years of foundation. In my opinion, the two sides might as well be on an equal footing. In case of prior consultation, they will act separately after being agreed, and there is no distinction between priority and priority. β
This is actually a helpless move, otherwise no matter which side will not agree.
Chen Wu bowed slightly, expressed his approval, and then asked: "The plan of my righteous army was originally to take Linxian and then besiege Longshan Mansion. Now that Linxian has been taken by the Good Friends, I don't know what your next plan will be? Attack the city of Longshan Mansion directly, or go northwest first to capture Ganding Province? Or go east to attack the county? β
Xu Maodian frowned slightly, and said in his heart that Ganding Mansion had already been bare for thousands of miles because of the drought, and I don't know how many people went out to escape the famine, and the Good Friends Association would have their heads pumped, so they would run to that dead place. Not to mention going east into the county town, is this for fear that the imperial officials and troops will not come fast enough and send them to the door to find death?
"Naturally, it is to take Longshan Mansion." He replied.
This answer was not as Chen Wu expected, and he immediately asked the most critical question unabashedly: "Now that the three counties of Longshan have all fallen into the hands of you and me, the next goal is also a coincidence." If they join forces to take Longshan Mansion, how should they distribute it? β
Long Mountain is a big city with a population of 100,000, and it is the essence of a place!
Tie up the Yicheng and Lushan captured by Chen Wu and double them together, and the resources looted may not be as much as Longshan.
Xu Maodian obviously also considered this question, and said without the slightest hesitation: "According to the old practice of the previous dynasty, we will encircle Longshan and attack together." It is fair that those who enter Longshan first are the mainstay. β
