Chapter 421: Seven Cities Joint Defense
Luzhou Mansion is also considered to be the forefront of the Anti-Japanese War, such a team is very bad to attract the attention of the garrison officers and soldiers, it will not be long before it will be surrounded, and then after a short negotiation the team entered the city, two hours later, the gate of the city gate that had fallen open with a loud bang, led by the off-road vehicle with a hundred cavalry rushed into the night!
In the middle of the night, the candle flame was flickering, and in a large mansion in Luzhou City, a gloomy middle-aged man sat on the Taishi chair with one hand and held his chin and looked at a large box in the main hall.
He was not alone in the room, and there were several military attachés sitting aside, silent, the whole atmosphere was very quiet, until the middle-aged man stood up and walked to the silver box, reached out and grabbed a few ingots of silver and checked: "One thousand taels of deposit, fifty thousand taels of thanks afterwards, if there is an additional 100,000 for meritorious achievements, this money is easy to earn, this little marquis is rich!" ”
"Lord General Soldier, the world says that this little marquis is a fairy descending to earth...... a military general was interrupted by a middle-aged man as soon as he spoke, "I'm a ghost, I've never seen anything in Liu Liangzuo's journey to the north and south, it's just a magic stick, it's just a big point!" "It turns out that this person is Liu Liangzuo, one of the four general soldiers of the late Ming Dynasty, who is as famous as Huang Degong and others!
Lu Wang proposed to let Chongzhen transfer the original forces in the air to the north to block the Qing troops, and Liu Liangzuo has been playing hide and seek with Zhang Xianzhong and Lao Hui in the Luzhou Prefecture area, and he is not among the troops, until now after Lu Wang defeated Li Zicheng, he is still stationed here, in a word, he is the most powerful warlord in the Luzhou Prefecture area!
Liu Liangzuo has also heard of the legend of Lu Wang, but he has always laughed at it, and he is just a god stick in the rivers and lakes, and he was even indignant when Lu Wang was named an uncle, and he fought for many years before he survived a general soldier, and a clown who jumped off the beam was knighted, which is simply unreasonable!
But as Lu Wang's record soared, even when passing by his Luzhou capital. Killed Lin Chengcheng and other thieves in the fifth camp of Gezuo, which made him impressed at this time, but he was more angry, because he felt that he had been slapped in the face! I haven't made an inch in this encirclement and suppression for more than a year, and people just passed by and killed two big fish, can this slap not make him angry!
When the news came that Lu Wang rescued Nanyang and broke the thief army's capture of Li Zicheng in just over a month, he was shocked and very unbelievable! Until the report from the imperial court came down, he was still dumbfounded and couldn't believe it!
How difficult it is to fight the army of thieves. How difficult Li Zicheng is, like many generals, has a bottom in his heart, so he has always doubted this possibility! However, the imperial court's official newspaper will not be faked!
He still refused to believe it until the arrival of the team of unknown origin this afternoon, however, he finally accepted this reality, because the identity of the person who came in the afternoon has taken you special, Xu Wenjue, the eldest prince of the Wei State Mansion in Nanjing!
Wei Guogong is a golden sign in Nanjing, not to mention rich and powerful, but also powerful, because Xu Hongji is not just a national prince. Now he is still the commander of the military region in Nanjing, and the Luzhou Mansion is still directly under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili, speaking of which, although Liu Liangzuo is the largest warlord on the territory of the Luzhou Prefecture. But the real boss of Nan Zhili is still Wei Guogong.
Xu Wenjue's arrival surprised Liu Liangzuo a little, but at the same time, it also confirmed many rumors, and what shocked him the most was that Lu Wang had already been made a marquis, although the imperial court had already issued a palace report. But at this moment, it has not yet reached Luzhou, and when I heard the news, I naturally felt envy, jealousy and hatred in my heart, but I was helpless. The imperial court has already issued a bounty to kill Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong, seal the marquis, and reward 100 gold!
Xu Wenjue did not come to chat, but on the order of Lu Wang, he specially came to Liu Liangzuo to discuss a matter, that is, when he went north to meet Abatai, let Liu Liangzuo transfer troops to form an encirclement of the thief army in Huoshan, it is best to find out their nest in the mountain, no matter how bad it is, the thief army will be trapped in the mountain.
Zhang Xianzhong, plus the men and horses of the Fifth Battalion of the Left Wing and nearly 200,000, entrenched in Huoshan and Qianshan for several years, have long formed a base area, and they want to grab and grab the surrounding areas, and they will fight if they want to, and the officers and soldiers of the squad will be directly second, and I will flash when they come to the hard stubble, and none of them who have wanted to hit him for so many years have fallen well, on the contrary, the new Zhang Xianzhong is still arrogant from time to time attacking the surrounding cities and plundering the land, and does not take the officers and soldiers in his eyes at all.
Liu Liangzuo is also a piece of garbage, everything he does with heavy soldiers is full of private pockets, as soon as the thieves come, he will run, and as soon as the thieves run, he pretends to wave the flag and shout, even more disgusting than Zuo Liangyu, at least Zuo Liangyu has also fought a tough battle! This product is a slippery head! What's more, the arsonists burned, killed, plundered, and harmed the people more than the thieves!
Lu Wang promised that as long as he sent troops, he would be paid 50,000 taels of silver, which made him a little tempted, but he was also worried, because Zhang Xianzhong's nest of thieves was not easy to mess with, so he would put himself in it, but he was reluctant to give up the 50,000 taels of silver, and more importantly, Lu Wang also gave him a strategic confidence!
The fifth battalion of the left has been operating the base for many years, mainly entrenched in the Huoshan and Qianshan areas, since Zhang Xianzhong joined the momentum has become more powerful until finally under the command of Zhang Xianzhong, began to attack the outlying cities one by one, and the momentum is unparalleled for a while!
Zhang Xianzhong, who was lucky, had just gained a foothold in these five battalions at the moment, and the fifth of the six attacks on Tongcheng in his life had just missed, and there were also factors caused by Lu Wang's passing by to kill Lin Yang, and now he has returned in vain, plus the cold winter has come and is now quietly returning to the mountain! This also gives Rwan a set-up!
Huoshan belongs to the jurisdiction of Lu'an, the hinterland of Dabie Mountain, but there are many surrounding cities, from Luzhou all the way to the south, Feixi, Shucheng, Lujiang, Tongcheng and Anqing near the Qianshan Mountains are bordered by Huoshan, and these cities are just the target of the thieves' harassment! And Lu Wang plans to connect these cities into a line of defense, and firmly control the thief army in the Huoshan and Qianshan areas, without moving an inch!
A joint line of defense? Liu Liangzuo's face showed a trace of disdain, "It's simple to think, this battle line from Lu'an to Luzhou to Anqing, between seven cities and eight hundred miles, how to prevent it!" Although he agreed to Xu Wenjue on the surface, it was because he wanted to sell face and silver, but in fact, he was resistant in his heart or disdainful in vain!
"Lord Commander, didn't Xu Wenjue say that he would unite all the forces of the seven cities to take care of each other, but it should be possible to defend!" A military general said
Liu Liangzuo didn't speak, he was still pondering, one city was attacked, and six cities were rescued, so what if the thieves divided their troops to capture many cities at the same time, and the thieves only fought with less than 200,000 soldiers, but there were only a few officers and soldiers in these seven cities. Some small counties have less than 1,000 garrisons. Think about it or think it's impossible!
Although Xu Wenjue said that there will be reinforcements after returning to Nanjing, he thinks it may not be big, the Central Plains is empty, and each city only has a regular number of garrisons, although there are soldiers in Nanjing, but there is a capital there, how can the garrison be so easy to transfer, even if it is transferred, there can be a few!
However, he still had a thought in his heart, planning to join forces with Rwann once, at least on the surface. The reason is simply for the silver, and if there is any other reason, it is a secret in the deepest part of his heart! Since Lu Wang can get rid of Li Zicheng in such a short time, if he comes back, he may be able to kill Zhang Xianzhong, and he can take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters to seize the merit and take advantage of it, and if he captures Zhang Xianzhong by luck, then he can also experience the refreshment of the Hou Ye!
"Seven cities join forces, this will cost a lot of silver! If you are really rich, it seems that you have gained a lot of benefits from beating Li Zicheng, the little marquis! Liu Liangzuo smiled slightly. The generals in the room were shocked: "The chief soldier has agreed to the joint defense!" ”
"Yes, send someone to Lu'an, Feixi, tomorrow, and let me know. I'll go to Tongcheng in two days to discuss this matter," Liu Liangzuo nodded slightly and said!
"Does the chief soldier have a good plan in mind?" A military general asked!
"P's good plan, wait for those people to come in a few days and then discuss it! Anyway, only joint defense and no offense! Liu Liangzuo said and turned to leave.
Xu Wenjue came and went in a hurry, and he didn't have any contact with the people of the Yamen in Luzhou, and he didn't even see the prefect Zheng Luxiang. He thought that he was a member of the military and had nothing to talk about with the people of the Yamen, and after bidding farewell to Liu Liangzuo, he went south non-stop, although it was night. But it didn't affect his itinerary at all, and his next goal was Anqing!
Seven cities joint defense, this is a defensive strategy proposed by Lu Wang, before he withdraws his hands, Zhang Xianzhong is blocked in this encirclement, and when he comes back to slowly clean up, and the seven cities of the joint defense have two big guys who must meet them, one is Liu Liangzuo of Luzhou, although Lu Wang wants to strangle him immediately, the second is Liao Yingdeng, the deputy chief soldier of Anqing, this thing is not a thing, what I usually love to do is to rob and kill Wang Zhengguo, Li Zichun led the troops to rob and kill everywhere, and later heard that the court wanted to punish himself and directly reversed, It was the Anqing rebellion in Chongzhen's fifteenth year, which directly led to the killing of Xu Liangkou, the governor Xu Shiyin, who hurriedly ran from Nanjing to extinguish the fire, but only transferred a few people to Tongcheng and had an affair with Taihu Lake.
Lu Wang is now in urgent need of manpower, and even once regretted that the Central Plains was empty and had no troops available, although he had 70,000 or 80,000 horses, but he was going to meet the Qing army, and the information he had on hand did not specify the number of Qing troops, plus the Qing army was strong, he did not dare to divide the troops, and now he can only rely on these warlords!
Although Liu Liangzuo is evil, he is a good person with no lower limit than Liao Yingdeng, and Lu Wang is going to send someone to contact this person with no lower limit at this moment, and he agrees to joint defense with silver!
Xu Wenjue was reluctant to take this errand, he preferred to go directly to Shandong to snipe the Qing soldiers, he was still young, warlike, ambitious and passionate, he felt that this kind of thing of spreading the word of mouth did not need to be done by himself at all, but Lu Wang told him the importance of this matter, as well as the particularity of his identity, and the next big thing to do in Nanjing! In a word, he is the most suitable person right now! Only to finally convince him to run errands!
Non-stop, the car does not turn off, Xu Wenjue's team, all the way south, Shucheng, Tongcheng, each station left only two hours, a hand of silver, a hand of waist cards, a mouthful of the court, the Ming Army, so that the garrison generals of these cities are not happy, joint defense is a good thing, increase the sense of security, and there is silver to take, and finally there is credit for why not, so these cities are very smooth, Yan Ming will go to Tongcheng the next day to discuss joint defense matters!
One day and two nights of running, Xu Wenjue's journey was not very smooth, although Zhang Xianzhong's army had entered the mountain at this moment, but the surrounding area was not very peaceful, there were many strongmen and grass, and there were a lot of droolers over his team!
However, as soon as they made a move, these strongmen regretted it, because since Lu Wang dared to let Xu Wenjue run back and forth in the area occupied by the thief army, he naturally gave a very safe guarantee, all kinds of cutting-edge equipment, in addition to crossbows and other standard equipment, there are also fifty spears and a number of grenades! Almost all of them fled for their lives without exception just after the fight, not to mention that half of these hundred people are brave warriors of the Xu family, and they are all masters who beat you up alone!
When Xu Wenjue arrived in Anqing with red eyes, it was already afternoon, and he entered the city quickly according to the routine, and then did not leave until dark, which was also the last stop of his seven cities except for Lu'an and Feixi, and it was also the longest stop to stay, and he saw Liao Yingdeng and a few people expected to go smoothly, his identity Liao Yingdeng can not be a bird, this person has no lower limit, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, a typical earth snake, not afraid of the power of the Wei Mansion, but he is very happy about the silver brought by Xu Wenjue, because Xu Wenjue's down payment is 10,000 taels, And guaranteed that as long as the joint defense is promised to go to Luzhou for a meeting and implement the joint defense, after March, Luwang will have 100,000 taels of silver to thank him! If there is merit, add 100,000!
One hundred thousand taels of silver! Liao Yingdeng simply stared out his eyes, if it was someone else, he must have felt that he was playing with himself, but after hearing Lu Wang's name, he believed it, and he couldn't help but believe it, there are too many legends about this person, from a civilian to a Hou Ye in half a year, and he has made great achievements, and he has just beaten Li Zicheng, and he is definitely not bad for money!
Joint defense is a big matter, there must be a unified action deployment, there are many records of joint defense in history, there are also abroad, such as the Maginot Line in World War II, the closest is at this time the Qing army into the fortress, Tianjin, Changping, Baoding and other eight general troops joint defense, but unfortunately each for the war, the power is not clear, the military order is not unified, the collapse is not the same. This is also Luwang's request that the seven cities must meet to negotiate and make a unified resolution, because they are far apart, so they will take the middle to discuss in Tongcheng!
Money can make ghosts grind, not to mention that for these greedy people, Xu Wenjue easily contributed to this joint defense, and everyone in each city showed great enthusiasm, which finally made him feel a little relieved after two days of exhaustion, but he did not leave Anqing in a hurry, but secretly met with Xu Liangkou, the commander of Lu Wang, and asked him to guard against Liao Yingdeng, if he found that this person had any abnormal moves, he would strike first!
Xu Liangkou immediately believed Xu Wenjue's words, because he usually disagreed with Liao Yingdeng, he couldn't see his lawless actions, and he wanted to believe that Xu Wenjue, a young prince, would not be untrustworthy, he said that the little marquis specially told that the little marquis was a legendary immortal, so he immediately believed it! Your life is your own!
Xu Wenjue finished explaining, let a subordinate wash and rest and leave Anqing overnight, he wanted to return to Nanjing immediately, and immediately went north to snipe the Qing army after completing a major event explained by Lu Wang, killing the enemy is his ambition!
