"Fa Shuai, Zhang Zhihai only took half a day to put the chaotic bandit team in order, and it looks in order, and the two missing mountain kings have now been confirmed to have escaped, taking with them a group of reliable subordinates and gold and silver.

The remaining materials of the two escaped Mountain Kings were received by Mu Tianfeng and were not distributed to the various departments for the time being.

As for the 2,000 bandits who ran away, most of them were the subordinates of the two mountain kings, most of them dispersed, and it seemed that they no longer wanted to wade into troubled waters.

The rest of the mountain kings are all very honest, and they follow the rules and regulations to carry out the military orders and rectify the team, and it is unknown what they think in their hearts.

One of Zhang Zhihai's deputy generals, Ning Xingcen, was too seriously injured and unconscious, so he resigned on his own, and is now temporarily replaced by Ye Changming, the former guerrilla general, and will take over after Ning Xingcen recovers from his injuries.

In addition, only yesterday's siege battle, Zhang Zhihai seems to want to give up the plan to forcibly attack the city......"

Ye Song spoke eloquently and spoke in detail.

Jiang Minglun was stunned and said: "Ning Xingcen is not dead yet, shouldn't it, I vomited blood from him at the beginning, and then I stabbed him three times, and he fell directly at that time, I still thought that he was dying!"

Ye Song said: "It's true that he didn't die, but the injury was really serious, and it was said that it was okay...... Hey, there's an internal injury Dan holding on. ”

Jiang Minglun was speechless.

It seems that it was bought from the Li Mansion for personal use.

I didn't think it would save his life.

Li Wuchang said: "Ning Xingcen is just a deputy general, and even if he dies, the impact on Zhang Zhihai's troops will be limited." Originally, I wanted to be ruthless and solve Liu Qizheng's fight in one fell swoop, but unfortunately Lin Zheng gave me three swords halfway, and I had to take care of Luo Ba and the others, so I let him escape. ”

Jiang Minglun said: "I was looking at Lin Zheng when he came out with those three swords, the level is indeed very high, not under his brother Lin Di, that guy definitely hid his strength when he was in Chang'an City." ”

"The Lin family doesn't have a simple role!"

Li Wuchang said with a straight face: "I guess Lin Di's father Lin Qi will not be as unbearable as others say, fortunately he has to deal with the Tubo people, if he comes, we will definitely not be comfortable." ”

Lin Qi is the eldest son of Lin Yong, who has always been a general in Liangzhou, and many people say that he is just a reckless man who only knows how to fight.

Ye Song said: "What the marshal said is extremely true, how can Lin Yong's son be simple, Lin Qi is just reckless on the surface...... Actually, that's the real smart guy. There are Lu Yuanyu and Jia Song in Liangzhou, there is no need for so many people who control the overall situation, Lin Qi is the head of Lu Yuanyu, and he has a set of wars, Lu Yuanyu also trusts him very much, in terms of status, he is enough to be on an equal footing with Jia Song. ”

"Hey, it's far away!"

Li Wuchang chuckled lightly and pulled back the topic: "Zhang Zhihai is a talent, it only took half a day to stabilize the situation, I thought he was going to be anxious, it seems that our killing chickens and monkeys didn't work very well!"

He thought those mountain kings would have to sneak away.

Unexpectedly, they were all held down by Zhang Zhihai.

Ye Song said with a smile: "It's not that it didn't work, at least the bandits were scared, they must have a shadow in their hearts, and they will be timid when they face us next time, and they won't dare to fight head-on." ”

Li Wuchang snorted and said, "You said that Zhang Zhihai wants to give up forcibly attacking the city?"

Ye Song said: "There is no specific order to give up, it is just gossip that the people in the bureau heard from Zhang Zhihai's camp, although they are all passed on by small soldiers, but there are also clear eyes, and it is estimated that there is a sign of that."

After all, the strength of both sides has been verified, if they only have that little bit of men, it is not realistic to attack hard, and at most consume a little of our city defense materials. ”

"Zhang Zhihai is really a pity!"

Li Wuchang was quite glad and said: "It's a pity that Lan Haoran, Xu Ji, and Jiang Batian are gone, if they also join Zhang Zhihai's army, then our situation will not be so optimistic."

To be honest, I really wanted to keep Lan Haoran at the time, that guy is a talent. ”

Ye Song and Jiang Minglun both nodded in agreement.

Among the original group of mountain kings, Lan Haoran was the most eye-catching, and he knew how to figure out people's hearts the most, and his sons were also quite powerful.

Ye Song said: "They really took a detour to Yiling, let's see later, maybe there is still a chance to recruit Lan Haoran, at most we will give a little sincerity." ”

Jiang Minglun said with a smile: "Then let's get Jiang Batian first, as far as I know, Lan Haoran and Jiang Batian have a very personal relationship, it is reported that Lan Haoran owes Jiang Batian a lot of favors, and Jiang Batian is a scared person, and there is not much chance of taking refuge in us." After all, the stunned young man is now also a thorn in the eye of the imperial court, and he will go to war at every turn! Alas, there is no nutrition in saying these now, so let's discuss them later. ”

After a pause, he continued: "By the way, I was stunned, the bandits outside the city died 2,000 and dispersed 2,000, so there are about 12,000 left, plus Zhang Zhihai's 20,000, that is only more than 30,000 people, plus they suffered repeated setbacks yesterday, I think we can take the initiative to attack, let their morale drop again, and then look for opportunities to defeat them in one fell swoop." ”

Li Wuchang was noncommittal, looked at Ye Song, and asked again: "What about the junction of the three counties? Is the information back? I remember that the 20,000 troops that Lei Dan could leave behind were a fierce general surnamed Wu, what did Wu come from?"

"Wu Qinglun!"

Ye Song Zhengse said: "Wu Qinglun was a fierce general in Liangzhou earlier, and many people commented on the old man and steady, and he led the crowd to repel the Tubo people many times, and he has a unique understanding of the field war of 80 million, and he was recommended by Lu Yuanyu, so it can be seen that it is not a simple role.

After Lei Daneng's death, the imperial court selected Wu Qinglun as the new helmsman of Fangling to take over the more than 20,000 troops in the southeast of Fangling.

Outside the forest, Wu Qinglun himself brought 3,000 elites over, and Liangzhou Thorn Shi made up another 2,000 for him. ”

Li Wuchang said with interest: "It was recommended by Lu Yuanyu, it seems that there must be two brushes, does he have any moves?"

Ye Song said: "Wu Qinglun is a hot person, and he has long been unaccustomed to seeing Yiling and Badong two counties grinding there, and even directly reprimanded. And Yiling, Badong and Taishou did not get angry in the face of the reprimand, they both expressed their willingness to listen to Wu Qinglun's orders, as long as Wu Qinglun dared to take the lead, they would definitely cooperate fully, Wu Qinglun was stunned and did not answer the call, so I guess it will be difficult to have any big scenes in a short time. ”

Jiang Minglun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What do you say about this, this twists and turns, dare to love or want to preserve their respective strength!"

I don't blame him for his emotion.

The three counties have been facing each other for a long time.

There are more than 100,000 people in the imperial court and various Xiangyang forces, and there have been a lot of small-scale battles.

Ye Song said: "Who says it's not, if they don't move, even if we come out of the nest, we won't be able to touch the big fish, at most we can see it from a distance." ”

Jiang Minglun suggested: "It's not bad to defend the city, but I still think we can take the initiative." If Jia Song ignores the junction of the three counties for the time being, and directly supports Zhang Zhihai, then the room left for us will be smaller and smaller.

Although this possibility is relatively small, it must be guarded against. ”

Li Wuchang exhaled and said, "Let's find a way to find a chance!"
