Chapter 157: Undercurrent

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, June 20.

Thirteen miles west of Shiquan City, in the camp of the army, the noise of people and horses was almost not interrupted for a moment.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, a group of generals and seventy-two battalion leaders were arguing around the map placed on the table at this time.

"There are only more than 3,000 battalions in Hanzhong City, and the garrison is empty, even if you can't beat Hanzhong, you can grab it?!"

"The battalion soldiers under the command of Yu Mao that week were not border troops, and I don't know how many guards were mixed in the 3,000 people, and they didn't dare to go out of the city."

Shuntian King He Guoguan stared with his eyes up, slapped the table heavily, and glared angrily at the leading whistle Huanglong.

Facing He Guoguan's fierce gaze, Huang Long's face did not change, and there was no fear in his heart, and he snorted coldly.

"Hanzhong is three hundred miles away from Shiquan, and it takes at least ten days to go back and forth."

Although He Guoguan is the leader of the 24th Battalion, he is the leader of the army, and he only needs to listen to Gao Yingxiang's military orders.

And even if there is no reason for this, he also leads nine teams of generals, thousands of elite horsemen under his command, and more than 3,000 horsemen, and his strength is not much worse than He Guoguan, so it is naturally worthy of He Guoguan.

"The leader of the twenty-fourth battalion is so majestic, heh, others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you!"

Huang Long's eyebrows stood sideways, pressing the table with one hand and holding a knife in the other, and asked in a fierce voice.

"The plan for the march was drawn up by King Chuang, and King Chuang was elected by everyone, and now he is the leader of the seventy-two battalions."

"He Guoguan, are you going to openly disobey King Chuang?!"

The atmosphere in the tent was tense for a moment because of the quarrel between He Guoguan and Huang Long.

"Yellow Dragon!"

He Guoguan's face was pale, and his heart was on fire, since he became the leader of the battalion, how could anyone dare to talk to him by name like this,

"When I fought on the battlefield with King Chuang, you kid was still kneeling in that town as a servant for others."

"I cried and knelt down into the barracks, and was promoted to the leading post with some merit, and I was noisy here!"

He Guoguan's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said coldly.

Huang Long's complexion changed suddenly, and the evil aura flashed in his eyes, and the most taboo thing for him was to mention his identity to others.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Liu Zhe, the manager on the side, directly pressed Huang Long's arm, and then directly blocked him and He Guoguan.

"King Shuntian, don't be angry, this military discussion is to discuss the affairs of the army after the discussion."

"Our battalions are all under the command of King Chuang, and they are all our own brothers, so we must not hurt the harmony."

Liu Zhe stepped forward and separated Huang Long and He Guoguan, so that the atmosphere eased a little.

"What King Shuntian said is reasonable, Hanzhong is indeed empty now, but Hanzhong is indeed too far away from Shiquan, I am afraid it will delay the plan."

"But this matter can be written down for the time being, and when King Chuang returns to the camp, let King Chuang make a decision, I don't know what King Shuntian thinks."

Liu Zhe put himself in the lower position and made concessions, which also calmed down the anger in He Guoguan's heart a little, but he didn't want to stop it.

"Brother Liu opened his mouth, this matter can be written down for the time being, and it will be decided by King Chuang."

"But ......"

He Guoguan came with cold eyes and said in a deep voice.

"He Huanglong must confess his mistake here today!"

Liu Zhe's face was slightly condensed, and he knew in his heart that it would be difficult to be good about this matter.

But before he could think about how to solve the problem, a sudden sound of horses' hooves from outside the tent attracted everyone's attention.

"Greetings to King Chuang!"

A group of armored soldiers outside the tent burst out, and everyone in the tent also subconsciously looked outside the tent.

In the next moment, several heavily armed armor soldiers had already gathered Gao Yingxiang and walked into the tent.

Gao Yingxiang was dressed the same as usual, still wearing Fan Yangli, wearing a mountain pattern breastplate, and a plain battle robe.

When everyone saw Gao Yingxiang enter the tent, they couldn't help but look stunned.

Even He Guoguan, who was still full of anger before, and Huang Long, who was not to be outdone, also changed their expressions, bowed down with everyone, and said in unison.

"Greetings to King Chuang!"

For Gao Yingxiang, their hearts are full of respect and fear.

What makes them respect is that Gao Yingxiang is fair and strict and fair.

What made them afraid was Gao Yingxiang's thunderous methods and decisiveness.

Gao Yingxiang's majestic gaze swept over everyone's bodies, and did not stop, but walked through the aisle let by everyone, and stood directly on the main seat of Yutu.

"Is the division plan finalized?"

Gao Yingxiang's eyes turned to Liu Zhe, who was standing on the side, and asked in a deep voice.

"The plan has been set, and the direction of Xixiang is in charge of the three battalions of one dragon, three dragons, and nine dragons."

"In the direction of Yangxian County, the two battalions of Yizi King and Hengtian King are responsible."

This time, the seventy-two battalions of soldiers and horses who followed Gao Yingxiang into Hanzhong were only nine battalions.

They are He Guoguan, the king of Shuntian, the prince of Hengtian, and Liu Xiaoshan, the king of one word.

Thousands of roosters Zhang Er, drill the sky harrier Wang Cheng, horse racing super Ma Yu.

One dragon, two dragons, nine dragons.

Golden-winged Penglu was left around Ziyang, on guard against officers and soldiers who might come to the aid from Sichuan.

Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Guoneng, Wang Wenrenxun, Scorpion Block and other departments continued to attract Lu Xiangsheng's attention in Xunxiang and Xiangxiang.

"But ......"

Liu Zhe's words turned slightly, and he looked at He Guoguan, the king of Shuntian.

Gao Yingxiang naturally noticed Liu Zhe's expression.

"It's okay to be straight"

With Gao Yingxiang's permission, Liu Zhe continued.

"The area around Hanzhong City is empty, the army is scarce, and the place is rich, so King Shuncheon suggested that food could be raised on the spot around it."

Gao Yingxiang's gaze stayed on He Guoguan's body, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Of all the battalion leaders of the 72nd Battalion, the only eyes he could look at were Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and He Jin.

However, their thoughts and concepts are still the same as before, just thinking of plundering in various places, fighting if they have been beaten, and withdrawing if they can't.

"I have considered this matter before, but there are vassal kings living in Hanzhong City, and this matter is very important."

"King Shuntian should also know the old things in the seventh year of Chongzhen, after we threatened Hanzhong City, Hong Chengchou immediately sent three thousand armor cavalry to pursue."

"Once the officers and soldiers outside Hanzhong City discover the enemy, they will definitely pass on the situation to Hong Chengchou to know."

"In order to ensure the safety of the vassal king, if Hong Chengchou leads the troops back to help, all the efforts and plans made by us before will be in vain."

Gao Yingxiang put his hand on the map on the desktop, first pointed to Xi'an, and then slowly moved to the lower left, until he moved to the location of Chenggu County, and continued.

"Now Hong Chengchou has been attracted to Yan'an Mansion in the north, Xi'an Mansion is empty at this time, and our main target is Xi'an."

"With my previous experience in Hanzhong, coupled with the actions of looting Xixiang and Yangxian, Hong Chengchou will only think that we are still looting grain and grass as a supplement as before, and he can't imagine that our purpose is Xi'an City."

"The purpose of attacking Xixiang and Yangxian is to cover up our real plan, and in order to ensure that the officers and soldiers will not return to the defense, it is best not to even enter the county border of Chenggu, just near Xixiang and Yangxian."

Gao Yingxiang raised his head and knocked lightly on the table.

"I know that in the battle of Jingmen, King Shuntian, your subordinates suffered heavy losses, so I want to go to Hanzhong to make up for it."

The world is crowded, all for profit.

The world is bustling, all for profit.

Gao Yingxiang knows this truth very well.

The seventy-two battalions of millions of people sound mighty and invincible, and they seem to be huge, but in fact they are nothing more than a plate of loose sand.

There are only two reasons why everyone elected him as the leader of the alliance, one is that he can survive with him and have meat to eat, and the second is that he has the biggest fist.

Gao Yingxiang sighed in his heart, now his situation is slightly difficult.

When he returned to Xunxiang and Xiangxiang in May, he suffered a defeat at Jingmen, losing five or six hundred elite horsemen and thousands of horsemen.

At that time, he met with the soldiers and horses of the ten battalions, and the original intention was to capture Jingmen so that Lu Xiangsheng had to lead his troops south, further forcing Lu Xiangsheng into the battlefield of Xunxiang, and making Hong Chengchou even more relaxed.

But I didn't expect that because I was not familiar with the terrain, I capsized in the gutter, and Jingmen was a trap opened by the Huguang battalion.

The plan to capture Jingmen was not successful, and because of its loss of troops, morale was also greatly reduced.

"After capturing Xi'an City, King Shuntian, you can lead your troops and horses into the city first."

He Guoguan's eyes lit up, the soldiers and horses of the advanced city attacking the city were able to take advantage of a lot.

Compared with the advanced Xi'an City, the towns around Hanzhong City are nothing at all.

"The rest of you who followed me also had injuries in Jingmen, and I remember them all clearly."

Gao Yingxiang took a smaller picture from his arms and put it on the table.

Everyone raised their eyes and looked, and the map that Gao Yingxiang took out was a plan of the city.

"I have already divided the areas within Xi'an City, and when the time comes, these places will be handed over to you to maintain order first."

said that it was to maintain order, but in fact, it was to hand over all the wealth here, and everyone knew it, and they were all smiling.

Gao Yingxiang looked at the smiling crowd, and there was no wave in his heart.

After capturing Xi'an City, he naturally would not indulge in looting.

When the time comes, he will strictly enforce military discipline, prohibit looting, and prohibit indiscriminate killing.

The rebel armies that can achieve great things in all dynasties are all armies with strict military discipline.

The maintenance of order he said was the real maintenance of order, and he wanted to win the hearts and minds of the people of Xi'an......

"The Qin Domain in Xi'an City is much richer than the Rui Domain in Hanzhong, and after laying down Xi'an, why worry about gold, silver and jewelry, and why worry about grain, grass, clothing and food."

Gao Yingxiang looked around at the generals and the leaders of each battalion in the tent, and said in a deep voice.

Because of its advantage, the defeat in the Battle of Jingmen still affected the army under his command, and now the morale of the army is low, and the battalion leaders and generals are not very optimistic about the prospects.

He needed to arouse the desire of these men and battalion leaders to follow him.

"The one who closes the middle, the crest of the world, the dragon head of the Central Plains!"

Gao Yingxiang pressed his hands on the edge of the table, propped up his body, and his sharp gaze slowly swept over everyone's bodies, and said in a positive voice.

"Capture Xijing, split the land and divide the king, and build the country and call the system!"

"The emperor's throne, the son of heaven of the Zhu family sits, and I sit too!"

Gao Yingxiang Danfeng's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he looked at the leaders of the generals in front of him.

"If I take over the world one day, all the people in the account today will be princes!"

Gao Yingxiang's voice was passionate and infectious.

All the generals in the tent were agitated.

Most of them were big and coarse, and they had never heard such words.

Splitting the land and dividing the king, founding the country and calling the system, are all princes!

Although they call themselves heavenly kings and dragons and tigers, they all know that in the final analysis, they are just a gang of rogues, not really princes.

But Gao Yingxiang put all their dreams in front of them.

And what made their hearts fluctuate the most was what Gao Yingxiang said.

"The emperor's throne, the son of heaven of the Zhu family sits, and I sit too!"

Everyone in the tent has different thoughts, and some people have different emotions in their hearts......

He Guoguan's heart was agitated, and the last unhappiness in his heart disappeared, and he said respectfully at the moment: "The rewards and punishments of King Chuang are clear, and my old He is willing to be the forerunner!" ”

"Besiege Xi'an, I will be the first!"

The horse racing supermath was not willing to lag behind, and then showed loyalty.

The originally dull atmosphere in the tent suddenly became warm.

"The soldiers are fast."

Compared with the surging people, Gao Yingxiang is much more stable, seeing that the atmosphere is just right, he opened his mouth immediately.

"Several battalion leaders immediately set up troops to attack Xixiang and Yangxian, and the rest of the battalions were on guard against Shiquan.

"Yes!"

Gao Yingxiang finally made a conclusion for the military discussion, and all the generals and camp leaders responded to the order.

The leaders of the camp in the tent were ordered to leave the camp, and as the sound of horses' hooves subsided, the camp in the distance began to boil.

Gao Yingxiang watched everyone walk out of the tent, and waited until only Liu Zhe and Huang Long were left. He didn't hide his emotions anymore, and his expression sank in an instant.

"Tell me, what are you arguing about in the big tent?"

Hearing Gao Yingxiang's questioning, Liu Zhe didn't dare to hide it, and immediately said the matter.

Gao Yingxiang turned his head to look at Huang Long, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and the killing intent that made people feel like a person was circulating in his eyes.

"I teach you how to do things on weekdays, and it seems that you have completely forgotten about it?"

Huang Long was terrified in his heart, and was so frightened by Gao Yingxiang's eyes that he knelt directly on the ground, and said in a puffed voice.

"The subordinates were excited for a while, and lost their minds ......"

Gao Yingxiang was condescending and said coldly.

"You are leading the sentry now, and you have just been promoted to the general, so you dare to make trouble with others during the military discussion."

"The position of your team leader will be handed over to someone else for the time being, and when you can calm down, you will be the team leader again."

Gao Yingxiang's eyes were slightly condensed, looking at Huang Long kneeling at his feet.

In his heart, he was already completely disappointed with Huang Long, regardless of the occasion or place.

How can this kind of heart be used?

"Although I am the leader of the seventy-second battalion now, the seventy-second battalion is not just listening to my family."

Gao Yingxiang's tone was indisputable.

"If you make a mistake, you have to admit it, and you can go to King Shuntian to solve this matter yourself."

"This ......"

Huang Long Huo Ran raised his head, angry in his heart, but after coming into contact with Gao Yingxiang's gaze, he didn't dare to say what he wanted to say, and finally lowered his head in response......
