In the north of Hongnong, Shan Boyuan has a big tent.

"Why did Zhu Changsheng suddenly gather his troops, do you want to fight us to the death? Isn't this cheap us, who gave him the guts?"

Shan Boyuan analyzed the intelligence in the northern part of Hongnong and asked the left and right strategists.

In the past few months, Wei Xian against Zhu Changlong and Shan Boyuan against Zhu Changsheng, although they have the upper hand, they can't find a chance to kill their opponents.

The Zhu brothers still have some strength, although they can't beat Wei Dan and the others in a head-on attack, but they also make the court suffer heavy losses through master ambushes, guerrillas, traps and other strategies.

Recently, the morale of the Hanshui Gang has skyrocketed.

Of course, it was because of Li Wuchang's rebellion against Yan and his dominance of Feng Yi's southwest.

Feng Yi's Wang Taishou was affected.

Many of Wei Xian's noble children were uneasy, for fear that Li Wuchang would assassinate them, Liu Qizheng was a living example, more than a dozen Liu family masters did not stop the duo of Li Wuchang and Jiang Minglun, everyone had heard of this matter.

Hongnong is naturally not a problem, as can be seen from Zhang Yanbang, Yan Chong, and Liu Jin taking the initiative to ask to defend the city.

"Is there another secret support in Hedong? It shouldn't be possible, in addition to supporting Zhu Changlong all the time, Hedong County also has to deal with Luoyang's troops, in addition, the Hanshui Gang also went to attack Wencheng County and Jiangjun in the north of Hedong County, how can they have so many troops?" a strategist frowned.

The so-called "secret support" is the expert support of the Hanshui Gang's Hedong base camp, and they can hide from the scouts.

Although Shan Boyuan has been pressing Zhu Changsheng to fight, he is sometimes disgraced by the master troops of the Hanshui Gang.

"Don't underestimate the Hanshui Gang, they can gain a firm foothold in Hedong and fight with Feng Zhongyi in Luoyang for so long, which shows their heritage. The Hanshui Gang divides its troops to Wencheng County and Jiangjun and does not necessarily attack the city, according to intelligence, they are just developing their strength and gathering people's hearts by the way, Wencheng County and Jiangjun are not strategic cities, some troops have gone to support Anle, and there are not so many troops to suppress the Hanshui Gang!" another strategist said in a deep voice.

Actually, this doesn't need to be elaborated at all.

Even if everyone is not a person from the rivers and lakes, through what they have seen and heard in the past few years, they have a general understanding of the background of the Hanshui Gang, and because of this, everyone is upset.

"Damn, what are the Baidao forces in Luoyang doing? Xiang Kui's gang has been in a state of collapse since his defeat to Nie Jin? Organize people to go to Hedong!"

From these words, we can see the helplessness of the imperial court.

In the past, the imperial court did not look down on the so-called Jianghu Baidao forces, and occasionally guarded against them, but now it is better, but blames them for not dealing with the Hanshui Gang.

The Baidao forces, led by the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, have always been in peace and self-control, and have not done anything to gather people to make trouble, at most they have organized people to hunt down and kill the Jiangyang thieves who are angry and resentful.

Last year, when Hedong was in an emergency, the Luoyang Baidao forces had a large-scale operation, and organized good hands to march to Hedong to fight against the Hanshui Gang, and the leader elected by everyone at that time was Xiang Kui.

Who knew that when Xiang Kui and Nie Jin duel, they were almost killed with a knife, in order to save his life, the Baidao forces promised Nie Jin not to attack the Hanshui Gang and the Tianluo Gang within three months.

Now that several three months have passed, it stands to reason that the Baidao forces in Luoyang should continue to go to Hedong to fight against the Hanshui Gang, but unfortunately they didn't.

Aren't all the heroes of the White Road all fighting violence and being peaceful?

Go get the Hanshui Gang!

"It should be that I am afraid that Nie Jin will send underworld masters to sneak into Luoyang City to make trouble, and now Xingyang is terrible...... Uh......" someone muttered quietly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone sighed in their hearts.

Since Nie Jin defeated Xingyang, he has done a lot of things to buy people's hearts, and he has made a lot of trouble in Xingyang, and the local people now only recognize Nie Shuai, not the imperial court.

I have to say that this is a great irony.

You must know that Nie Jin has always been an out-and-out big devil in everyone's impression.

If the people were not extremely dissatisfied with the imperial court, how could they be so centrifuged?

If you think about it, how could it not be the case in the southwest of Feng Yi and the west of Hongnong.

If it weren't for a young man like Li Wuchang, how could he have accepted more than 5,000 soldiers so quickly, not to mention the 500 soldiers from Beidi County recently.

"Report ......"

Here comes the messenger.

It's Guo Taishou's letter.

Shan Boyuan took the letter, opened it and looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled.

Seeing this, everyone asked, "General, what's wrong?"

General Shan Boyuan exhaled and said lightly: "Li Wuchang united seven rebel armies, with a total strength of nearly 30,000, in just these two days, they swept half a circle in the middle of Hongnong, and the Hongnong defenders suffered heavy losses, which can be called a thunderous momentum, which everyone knows." At present, at Li Wuchang's suggestion, their eight teams are already preparing for the siege. ”

All are discolored.

I didn't worry much about the fall of the city before, because although the rebels had a large number of troops, they had many troops and the people were not united, and now there were eight teams in a group to attack the city.

"This, this, how is this possible, even if they are allowed to conquer the city, how will they divide it?

"Why divide it? For them, the more chaotic the better!" Shan Boyuan said lightly.

"Maybe they're interested in the food and wealth in the city. The strategist nodded in agreement.

The adjutant general took the letter and read it carefully, frowned for a moment, and said, "Li Wuchang actually took nearly a thousand more prisoners? What did those people eat? Was it so easy to be bribed?"

Shan Boyuan coughed lightly and said, "Don't discuss it so much, now get a charter as soon as possible, otherwise Hongnong City is afraid that it will be dangerous, and we will also become alone." ”

The strategist was puzzled: "Even if Li Wuchang and they have 30,000 troops, even if they are united, it will not be easy to capture Hongnong City, right?"

Shan Boyuan shook his head and said, "Hongnong's rebels are far more than 30,000 except for Zhu Changsheng...... The reason why they have not made a large-scale siege action for a long time is that they lack a stunned young man who is willing to charge, and now Li Wuchang is the stunned young man, if he takes the lead in moving, do you dare to guarantee that the others will not move?"

There is some truth to that.

A lot of times it's like that, lacking the power of example.

In addition to the 20,000 troops under Zhu Changsheng, Hongnong still has more than a dozen rebels, large and small, and the total number of them is more than 50,000, which is equivalent to the two old thieves at the beginning.

If it was really driven by Li Wuchang's stunned youth, Hongnong City would be afraid that it would not be defended.

You must know that the defense of Hongnong City is half a catty compared to Feng Yi.

Not to mention the panic among the people in the city.

"General, now it seems that the reason why Zhu Changsheng gathered troops was to delay us and prevent us from going back to Hongnong City, which can also be seen that Li Wuchang and Zhu Changsheng have already had a tacit understanding, or that there are correspondence between them, and this plan has been set a long time ago. "The strategist said.

Shan Boyuan nodded and said, "The others continue to speak!"

The adjutant general proposed: "General, our troops are only a little more than Zhu Changsheng, even if we can defeat them in one fell swoop in the decisive battle, we ourselves will suffer heavy losses, it is better to go back to the city directly." ”

Shan Boyuan frowned and said, "Go back to the city and defend it?"

The adjutant general nodded and said, "First disperse Li Wuchang and the others, and then enter the city and wait for the support of the imperial court!"

The strategist said: "But Jing Zhao has just lost a group of people, do you want Commander Cui to come in person?"

Then he shook his head and sighed: "This Li Wuchang, the timing is good, but he chose to start an incident when the court and the Xiongnu negotiated peace." ”

Many people remained silent, secretly wondering in their hearts: If it weren't for Lu Xuandong's troubles, how could he, Li Wuchang, have made trouble? According to the plan, Li Wuchang should have quelled the chaos in Fangling, and maybe he was inextricably involved with the Xiangyang gangs at this time.

The situation is changing in a real instant.

Although it can't be said that it can affect the whole body, the rhythm of Hongnong and Feng Yi has been messed up.

"Report ......"

"What's wrong again?"

"Zhu Changsheng's vanguard has come over in two ways......

Shan Boyuan smiled and said, "It seems that Zhu Changsheng has already made a decision for us!"
