Xu Yixian is a Gucheng Xiucai, just like some of the old boys who Long Shisan met in Shanxi before who were willing to follow him, although he was admitted to Xiucai early, but he was unable to pass the examination for a long time, which made Xu Yixian, who had a reputation as a prodigy since he was a child, embarrassed.

Unlike Fu Shan, who is full of wealth but is unwilling to embark on the road of eunuchs, Xu Yixian is a figure who often boasts of Zhuge Kongming and Chen Ping in the area of Xiangyang Mansion.

So, like those old boys, he gradually became cynical.

Of course, if Da Ming is still as stable as Mount Tai, his cynicism will not do him any benefit except for adding trouble to himself, because it is no longer the Wei and Jin eras, and no one will eat him.

Xu Yixian is forty years old this year, and he won the show, and then worked hard, but he has not been admitted to the lift, since then, he gradually abandoned the four, and began to study such as "Ancient and Modern Geography", "Wubei Zhi", "Guiguzi", etc., and the unpredictable heart is clearly revealed.

Of course, he didn't feel anything at first, and it wasn't until he went deeper that he realized that he really had a real interest in this area, and after the thieves in northern Shaanxi began to make trouble, he read more diligently.

Three years ago, when the thirty-six thieves were galloping across the land of Sanjin, there was a faint expectation in his eyes.

When Xiaoqianglu went south, he was still a staff member of the Gucheng County Order, and the expectation in his eyes was even greater.

"The military discipline is strict, the combat power is strong, and the weak have defeated the strong many times, and now there are more than 100,000 people, and they are already uncontrollable, isn't it the object of our generation?"

But he also knew that the Li family brothers, who were famous in Henan, were already celebrities under the big leader of the department, Long Thirteen, and he could only be attached to Jiwei if he went over.

So, when he learned that Long Thirteen had occupied almost the entire territory of Nanyang Mansion and occupied Fancheng within a month, he seemed to see hope.

He immediately resigned from the errand of the Gucheng County Commander's staff, and instead joined the command of the guerrilla Qi Shangyou in the party.

Qi Shangyou, who has been entrenched in the Zuoqi camp for a long time, how can he not know that Xu Yixian is famous, and he has failed to hint several times before, and now he is hesitating for no reason, this talented person with the reputation of "Gucheng Zhuge Liang" actually took the initiative to take refuge in the door, how can he not greet him barefoot?

However, Qi Shangyou is not a fool, knowing that Yunyang Mansion City, Junzhou, and Nanyang Mansion have been taken by thieves, and it must be unusual for this great talent to come to meet him when the Left Banner Battalion is isolated, so he inquired carefully.

"The last time I prepared a generous gift and invited me wholeheartedly, but my husband repeatedly refused, today my department is in danger, but my husband came, but I was puzzled."

Xu Yixian said unhurriedly: "The general has also read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, do you know why Zhuge Liang took refuge in Liu Xuande, who was at the end of his life, instead of Cao Mengde, who was at the end of his life?"

Qi Shangyou has entered the martial arts of Zhushan County, read a few books, and when he heard this, he naturally smiled, Xu Yixian compared him to Liu Xuande, who was divided into three parts of the world, and he was simply exalted himself, although he knew that he was far inferior to Liu Xuande, but he was still very happy.

He thought that all talents were like this, so he took Xu Yixian in without him thinking.

Of course, at this time, in addition to his party's guerrillas, there was also Xu Qianhe, the commander of the water division, and the two had a lot of trouble over the money and grain of the Left Banner Battalion and the pumping of water from the merchants.

Because he was subordinate to the governor of Yunyang, while Xu Qianhe was subordinate to the guerrillas of the Xiangyang Prefecture Naval Division, and the Xiangyang Prefecture Naval Division guerrillas were under the command of the Wuchang Naval Division.

However, because at this time, Xiangyang Mansion is the palace of King Xiang, and Wuchang is also the palace of King Chu, and there are a large number of merchant ships under the two kings shuttling on the Han River, and they are naturally connected with the sailors.

On the contrary, he often called him a "barbarian", which made Qi Shangyou annoyed.

Xu Qianhe is also a native of Gucheng and Xu Yixian's brother, and Xu Yixian is the head of the Xu family in Gucheng, so after Qi Shangyou accepted Xiaoyi County as a staff member, it was extremely advantageous to deal with the relationship with Xu Qianhe, the general manager of the water division.

As a result, the land and water divisions that are usually on the same land and in the same city have the same hatred because of Xu Yixian's arrival

The Elephant.

At this time, Xu Yixian revealed his plan and discernment.

"General, do you know why I came to buy you at this time?"

"Didn't you just say ......?"

"Hehe, that's just a joke, I'm here to send a big fortune to the general."

"Oh?"

"Do you know where the governor of Yunyang and the general of Yunyang are at this time?"

"Isn't it Zhushan?"

"Yes, does the general know why the thieves occupied Yunyang Mansion and Junzhou, but did not attack Zhushan County along the blocked water?"

(Blocking water, blocking the river in later generations, starting from Yunyang Fucheng, there is a post road to reach Zhushan County conveniently, and Zhushan County is the only place to go to Zhuxi County and Fang County)

"This ......"

"General, it is said that when the thieves took the inspection department of the Digging Mountain Temple and the city of Yunyang Mansion, there were not many troops left of the Chinese army of Yunyang Governor Jiang Yunyi and the general Yang Wenfu, and most of the Yunyang guards were also annihilated.

"Oh, I heard that although the thieves defeated the official army in the Patrol Division of the Digging Mountain Temple, Yunyang Fucheng, and Junzhou, their own damage was not small, and the ravines and baits in their mouths were almost all wiped out, and they had no strength left to attack Zhushan County."

"No, what kind of combat power can the so-called ravines and baits have? It is said that the thief was made up of three groups of men and horses, the first one was called Lao Hui Ma Shouying, the second was called Ge Li Yan He Yilong, and the second one was called Red Army Friends, and each of them had thousands of cavalry."

"In addition, the old camp is young and strong, and it is not a problem to draw elites, but what are the people in Zhushan County? It's just a little young."

"What does that Mr. mean.......

"Presumably, the general army also got the report from the waterway, and when the small strong brigade went south to Ruzhou Mansion, that is, a month ago, the imperial court had set up a new general soldier in Chongqing Mansion, and appointed the veteran general Qin Liangyu as the general commander, and set up a sub-guard general in Daning County and a guerrilla general in Dachang County."

"At this time, the three major bandits have all crossed the Yellow River and headed south, and the Dengzhou Rebellion has ended, and Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, has tens of thousands of elites in his hands, so King Chuang, Zijin Liang and others must not be able to make trouble in the Central Plains for a long time."

"The Central Plains all the way to the Yangtze River, except for a Dabie Mountain in the middle, where is there a hiding place for them, so they will eventually rush westward and escape into the mountains of western Henan and Jingxiang."

"At this time, people of insight in the imperial court planned in advance and deployed heavy troops in Chongqing Mansion......

"Sir, I heard that the former Sichuan general soldier Deng Xi has been defeated and died, where are the heavy soldiers?"

"No, since Qin Liangyu, the original stone pillar toast, has become the chief soldier of Chongqing, she will definitely bring all the toast soldiers of Shizhu and Banzhou to Chongqing Mansion."

(Banzhou, later Zunyi City)

"And the Shizhou Weige Toast, which is adjacent to Shizhu and Banzhou, will also be summoned by her."

"In addition, Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Sichuan, who is now in Guiyang, will also bring the Tusi of Guizhou and Yunnan to Chongqing Mansion."

"These Tusi soldiers add up to no less than 20,000, and they are very suitable for mountain warfare, if they advance eastward from Daning County and Dachang County to Yunyang Mansion, they will easily cut off the retreat of the thieves."

"That ......"

"From the perspective of the students, the reason why Lao Hui and the others did not move, in addition to recuperating and recuperating, must have fought the idea of directly advancing westward from Yunyang Mansion to occupy Hanzhong Mansion!"

"Huh?!"

Qi Shangyou was startled at first when he thought about it, and then threw himself to the ground, but he still said, "But what does this have to do with the general?"

Xu Yixian said with a smile: "In this way, there will be only one lone army left under the command of the entire Yunyang Governor Yamen, and it must be commendable in the eyes of the imperial court to be able to hold on to the east bank of the Han River."

"In my estimation, the edict of the imperial court to reward and promote generals will be issued soon, at least one general, and it is possible for a deputy general, as for the general army, ......

Qi Shangyou's eyes lit up.

"Hehe, if the general can be on the east bank of the Han River

It's not impossible to stick to it for more than a month."

Qi Shangyou was overjoyed at first, and then his expression darkened.

"It's not easy to say, I just got here because I had no way to go, the last time I contacted Gucheng and Xiangyang Mansion, they didn't allow me to go, this small strong brigade is fierce and abnormal, even Nanyang Mansion City has been captured, not to mention the left banner battalion?"

Xu Yixian shook his head, "No."

"This left banner battalion was specially built in order to block the northward escape route of the displaced people in the Chenghua period, the city wall is tall and deep, and there is a moat, which is much stronger than Fancheng, although there is a water gate in the place facing the Han River, but if the small strong brigade wants to start from here, there must be a boat to go upstream."

"But he obviously can't do it, because they don't have warships, and the sailors of Xiangyang Prefecture are watching them."

"So, this one-month period is not impossible, but completely possible."

"At that time, if the thief brigade really goes west from this place, the position of the general will become more and more prominent, but whenever there is a danger of survival, it will be a time for exceptional promotion."

"Even if the official general army is not available, due to the great prosperity of the thieves, it is still very possible for the general to be a regimental training general soldier in Yunyang Mansion, and there is only a one-level gap between the regimental training general soldier and the official general soldier."

Qi Shangyou's blood boiled when he said it, and he let go of his heart that had always been hanging high.

......

Sitting in the cabin, remembering a conversation with Qi Shangyou a few days ago, Xu Yixian, who had always been reserved, couldn't help but smile.

Since he was the clan brother of the Zuoqi Battalion Sailor after the rise of the Commander Qian, the Sailor took a "Jinfan Thief" under the command of the Commander Yu Hai was also very enthusiastic to him, and he drove out all the other people in the cabin, leaving Xu Yixian alone, and he also prepared wine and food, and prepared a set of clothes.

Xu Yixian saw that although this guy was young, he had a strong face, and he got on his ship again, so he couldn't shirk it, so he reluctantly let him sit opposite him.

After three rounds of drinking, Yu Dahai said, "Mr. Xu, there is something unknown below that I want to ask."

Xu Yixian smiled and said, "Mr. Whistle is young, what else is unknown?"

Yu Dahai shook his head, "I'm worried, the thieves actually occupied the entire territory of Nanyang Mansion, and also took the mansion city, even the Tang King is missing, could it be that this world has come to the end of the world......

"Don't talk about it!"

Xu Yixian shouted loudly, but he was startled by the sea, but after all, he had seen the wind and waves, and said with a sneer: "It is said that Mr. is Zhuge Kongming of Xiangyang Mansion, and he gave up Gucheng County on the west bank of the Han River, and instead went to the Left Banner Battalion on the east bank to take up a job, and he must have a perfect plan in his heart."

Xu Yixian secretly thought: "Although this group of people is changed by the boat gang, it is more or less a help, it is better to win it over."
