Li Wuchang started with the Mangfu battalion, and in just a few days, he collected more than 4,000 people, most of whom were collected from the southwest of Feng Yi and the western part of Hongnong, plus more than 600 of the Mangfu battalion, and the strength exceeded 5,000.

This is already a very powerful force.

During this period, he attacked the imperial court's grain transportation team three times, broke up and gathered all kinds of small gangs that took the opportunity to make trouble several times, hoarded a lot of materials, and now dominates Feng Yi's southwest.

According to the current reserves of weapons and grain, the speed of collecting personnel has been suspended, and it has been divided into eight battalions, with battalion-level posts personally held by Zhai Changping, Cao Hao, Feixiong, and others, as well as the company commander of the former Mangfu Battalion, while company- and platoon-level posts are held by the elite of the Mangfu Battalion, and there is also a personal guard force of more than 200 people.

Zhao Xun led the first four battalions, Wu Xun led the last four battalions, and Jiang Minglun led his personal guards to follow Li Wuchang directly.

Located in the southwest of Fengyi, you can go to Shangluo and Hongnong at any time.

"Stunned, now that we are strong, I think we can have a good time, and we can even find a chance to defeat Feng Yicheng or Hongnong City!" Fat Bear smiled, a little high-spirited.

The backbone is no longer just a foreign staff member like in the Quelling Rebellion Army, but now it is its own army, and everyone is a battalion commander-level figure, with five or six hundred people under his command, and he is extremely majestic.

You must know that there are only more than 300 people under the general Zhaowu lieutenant of the imperial court.

But then again, with the abilities of Zhai Changping, Cao Hao, Fat Xiong and others, it is not a problem to be a captain of the imperial court, after all, their martial arts are all more than six grades, and they have been in the army for so long and have fought a lot of tough battles.

Zhai Changping scolded with a smile: "How can it be so simple? 5,000 people seem to be a lot, but it's still far from wanting to take the city! In the past, more than 40,000 people from Xiang Cong and Zhu Changlong attacked Feng Yicheng on both sides, and they didn't return defeated?"

The fat bear scratched his head and said, "That's why I said I'm looking for a chance!"

Cao Hao nodded and said: "Feng Yicheng doesn't have much chance, Hongnong can get it, Shan Boyuan has to deal with Zhu Changsheng, and there are still more than a dozen large and small rebel armies eyeing Hongnong City, it should be very good for us to fish in troubled waters!"

Jiang Minglun said: "I'm optimistic about going to Shangluo County to do it!"

Li Wuchang waved his hand and said: "Feng Yi, Hongnong, and Shangluo can't eat the three cities for the time being, even if they eat it, it's useless, because the three counties are close to Jingzhao, in case Cui Ping and Sang Taishou jointly call, it's really not a joke, and I don't know how I died." ”

Nie Quan muttered: "Cui Ping and Sang Taishou don't dare to make a move, right? Let's not go to Jingzhao, well, Jingzhao should also have some opportunities, right? Didn't we also get some big family farms? They must be in chaos." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed.

Cao Hao smiled: "Quanzi, you are really ambitious, you really dare to think about it...... Oh, if Jingzhao is moved, not to mention Cui Ping and Sang Taishou, I am afraid that the Praetorian Guards defending Chang'an City will be dispatched, and then we will be directly crushed into scum!"

Li Wuchang said: "No matter whether Cui Ping and Sang Taishou are still, we should not play in Yongzhou for too long, because Yongzhou is the base camp of the imperial court after all, and it is strong." Our strategy in Yongzhou is mainly to make trouble!"

Wu Xun said: "What do you mean by being stunned, as much as possible to make the movement a little bigger while the court is negotiating with the Xiongnu?

Li Wuchang nodded and said, "It can be said that if there is no peace negotiation for a day, the large army of Yongzhou will not want to come back." When the peace negotiation is successful, Brother Wei and they should settle down in the north of Fangling, let's gather in Hongnong, pass through Xiyang, move to Fangling in an all-round way, and find an opportunity to conquer Fangling City, then we will have a lot of space. ”

There was a burst of excitement in the crowd.

Zhao Xun asked: "I was stunned, but I decided to develop in Liangzhou?"

Li Wuchang said: "Take Fangling first, and then force Badong in the south, and at the same time take a closer look at the situation in Jingzhou and Liangzhou." Well, I guess Jingzhou has a better chance. ”

Wu Xun said: "That's true. Although Liangzhou is good, unless Hanchuan or Shu County is defeated, there is not much chance, but both places are too inward, and it is not easy to break in. Jingzhou is different, the opportunity is much greater, there are two giants of Sikong Sheng and Zuo Qian, the major gangs in Xiangyang are in chaos, and there are Xiangyang, Nanjun, and Yiling in the east of Fangling, and the three counties are very good, no matter which county can develop well. ”

Jiang Minglun said: "That should be a long time later...... We have made such a big move these days, and the imperial court will definitely make moves, so what should we do next?"

Li Wuchang said: "Forget Shangluo, Feng Yihong will choose one, there is not much time, you need to start as soon as possible to give pressure, do not attack the city, occupy the position to give pressure, if the imperial court has small-scale support from the north or Jingzhao, it will be wiped out, if there is large-scale support over, adapt to the situation, if there is food and medicinal materials to the door, then laugh!"

Cao Hao nodded and said: "Medicinal materials are a good thing, when the time comes, we can take the Broken Lock Pill as a reward, select talents, get an elite commando, and lead it by Minglun himself, how good, during the war, two hundred people will penetrate the other two thousand, if the master comes, he will be directly surrounded to death!"

Zhao Xun smiled: "Haozi's proposal is very good!"

Li Wuchang nodded in praise.

Jiang Minglun sighed: "Do you really want to go against Wang Fatzi?"

Zhao Xun was also a little helpless: "Not to mention Wang Fatzi, there are also Captain Mo and others, and even General Wei and He Junshi, if they run into it, how did they start?"

Feng Yicheng really has a lot of friends, Wang Taishou is the leader, and there are a group of staff and civilian captains.

When Cao Hao, Fat Xiong, Chen Lianbao and others used to support Feng Yicheng's reconstruction, they often drank with them, and it must be false to say that there is no affection.

Wu Xun reminded: "Now that we belong to two camps, we must not be lucky and merciful, when we fight, we must use all our strength, otherwise we will only let our own people suffer!"

Everyone immediately nodded, "That's what Lao Wu said!"

Li Wuchang sighed with emotion: "If they take the initiative to chase after us to fight, they don't have to say, they have to take ...... Of course, don't use it on them for intrigues and assassinations. If we are lucky enough to capture them on the battlefield, we will naturally be released, and we will stay for a short time. ”

Wu Xun continued: "Alas, in fact, I don't want to be a head-on enemy with He Junshi...... Otherwise, let's fight Hongnong first, anyway, there are more rebels in Hongnong County, let's be strong and prestigious, and hoard supplies by the way. ”

Jiang Minglun immediately agreed, and said: "This is very good, Zhang Yanbang and Yan Chong are in Hongnong, if they dare to go out of the city, they must be killed this time!"

"Report!"

"What's the matter?"

"I found a group of imperial court men coming from the direction of the northern land, the number is about fifteen hundred, and it will enter the range of our army within half a day according to the speed, and the person who came is Liu Qizheng, a guerrilla general of the imperial court!"

"Liu Qizheng?" Li Wuchang raised his eyebrows.

"Fifteen hundred people dare to come? Liu Qi has been messing around in Northland County for a long time, and his brain is in water, right?" Cao Hao laughed.

"It shouldn't be that simple, it's better to be careful!" Wu Xun said.

"Half a day...... Well, will Jingzhao also send troops to cooperate? No, if Jingzhao had any big moves, we should have known about it. Zhao Xun frowned.

"I have only secretly robbed food three times before, and the opponents are all miscellaneous armies or logistics troops. Liu Qi is the sparring partner sent to the door, I can't ask for it, this time let's take the initiative to touch it, fight a little harder, let everyone also move, give full play to the fine tradition of our reckless battalion, and quickly enter the state by playing on behalf of the training!" Li Wuchang said coldly.

Wu Xun nodded and said, "That's fine, most of the past few days have been training escape tactics, heh!"

Everyone laughed.

Escape tactics are one of the most important tactics of the reckless battalion, and of course they must be mastered.

"Liu Qizheng still has some ability, he is familiar with military books, and naturally knows the truth that soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, he has 1,500 regular troops, and it is normal to look down on our newly recruited soldiers. Jiang Minglun said.

"Hmph, the remaining 600 people in our Mangfu battalion are all first-class elites, which have been tempered from Xiang Cong's men, and there are even many old fritters who have experienced Feng Yi's southwest sweep, Feng Yi's battle under the city, and the extermination of Xie Bald's son, and now they are assigned to each battalion as a company, platoon, and squad figure, even if they lead a group of recruits, they have good combat power, at least they will not disperse in one rush, Liu Qizheng is just suppressing some bandits in Northland County, why is he arrogant?" Zhai Changping snorted coldly.

"This time, if you want to crush the so-called regular army in one fell swoop, I will personally take action, tear Liu Qizheng's escort, kill him, and see if he can run away!" Li Wuchang said lightly.
