Chapter 91 Under the Chaos

Zuo Liangyu is very upset. Xing Tianjun seems to be born to be his nemesis. Every time they fight, they can't get any benefits. They finally defeated Nanyang Mansion. He thought he had made great contributions this time, but he didn't expect that he was blocked by Xing Tianjun in Nanzhao and made it difficult for him to walk. Later, after a few battles, he had to After losing Nanyang, he once again led his troops to escape back to Jingxiang.

However, I didn't think that Xing Tianjun first followed the south and forced Xiangyang, and then Zhang Xianzhong rose up again in Gucheng. Now Yang Sichang Yangge's department has personally left Beijing and went south, and ordered him to rescue Xiangyang quickly in advance, so as to block the Xing Tianjun outside Xiangyang City and not lose Xiangyang, but think about the fierceness of Xing Tianjun. Zuo Liangyu was afraid of fighting with Xing Tianjun. He had no chance of winning. Speaking of which, he gathered a lot of soldiers and horses now, but he was no match for Xing Tianjun at all.

So after thinking about it over and over again, Zuo Liangyu finally came up with an idea, that is, to let Xing Tianjun let them go. He only led the troops to deal with Zhang Xianzhong first. Although Zhang Xianzhong was not easy to deal with, at least he still had the strength to compete with Zhang Xianzhong and was not afraid of him.

So after receiving the order, he immediately prepared his troops and began to march towards Baokang. Zhang Xianzhong's main force is now stationed in the Baokang area. Moreover, because this is a mountainous area, Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers and food is not good, so he has to divide his troops and fight for food everywhere, so he is quite sure to deal with Zhang Xianzhong.

Just when Xiao Tianjian led his troops to Fancheng on the side of the Han River, Zuo Liangyu had also led his troops to Baokang County. Then he bumped into a man and a man under Zhang Xianzhong in the area of Xiema Town. This time, Zuo Liangyu personally went to fight with his subordinates in order to make contributions. As a result, Zhang Xianzhong's department was immediately scattered by him. He was immediately beheaded for more than a thousand, and immediately returned to Baokang County.

Like Zuo Liangyu, Zhang Xianzhong is also very unhappy now. A dragon under him robbed the food of the Xing Tianjun in Nanzhang County and killed the members of the Xing Tianjun. He was a little worried about this matter. Luo Rucai sent someone to ask for justice from him, but before he could meet Luo Rucai's subordinates, a dragon sent someone to kill Xing Tianjun first. The man was beaten and rushed back outside Xiangyang City.

This time, Zhang Xianzhong knew that he had offended Xing Tianjun. Originally, Xiao Tianjian sent someone to find him and wanted him to follow Luo Rucai and the Gezuo Fifth Battalion to defect to Xiao Tianjian, but most of his military division Pan Duao and the generals were opposed to doing so. They felt that they had not exhausted at present. To this extent, he can't follow Xing Tianjun to see the face surnamed Xiao, and how good it is for Zhang Xianzhong to be a king himself. No one cares about them and doesn't have to listen to the rules set by others.

On the contrary, his adopted son Zhang Dingguo (Li Dingguo) believes that Xiao Tianjian is very righteous, especially the fact that Xiao Tianjian brazenly led the army to the north to fight the tari, which made Li Dingguo admire him very much. Moreover, Li Dingguo believes that Xiao Tianjian is already super strong and has the ability to win the world, especially at present. Many of the rebels who rebelled with them have either surrendered to the imperial court or turned to the Xingtian Army. The whole Henan and half of Shanxi are controlled by the Xingtian Army. Whether it is the number of soldiers and horses or their combat strength, the Xingtian Army is extremely strong. For so many years, only they have not been defeated by the army. On the contrary, many generals of the imperial court have fallen into the hands of Xing Tianjun. At present, although his adoptive father Zhang Xianzhong is claimed to have tens of thousands of soldiers, everyone knows that there are only a few thousand elite soldiers who can fight. If they want to fight against Xing Tianjun in the future, they have no chance, not to mention that the court can kick them without a single kick. To this point, the army forces in the Huguang area alone are far more than them.

Therefore, Li Dingguo believes that they can fully accept the conditions of Xing Tianjun, and it is not bad to work together with Xiao Tianjian. However, Zhang Xianzhong is a little unhappy about Li Dingguo's opinion. Of course, there are also several other adopted sons, including Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and others. I didn't quite agree with Li Dingguo's opinion. Only Ai Nengqi agreed with Li Dingguo's opinion.

Li Dingguo's view was not taken seriously among the generals under Zhang Xianzhong. In the end, Zhang Xianzhong thought that he still had the ability to conquer the world that belonged to him, so he refused Xiao Tianjian's proposal and vaguely proposed that Xiao Tianjian should move in the north of the Yangtze River, while he attacked the south of the Yangtze River and ruled with the Xing Tianjun. .

Sometimes it can't be said that some people are too thoughtful. Zhang Xianzhong is also such a person. He doesn't look at his current strength. Why do he sit on an equal footing with Xiao Tianjian? Although his strength alone has conquered Xingshan, Baokang and other places in a short time, these places are all mountainous areas. Originally, the officers and soldiers are extremely It is small, and the population is also very sparse. He pulled up 30,000 to 40,000 horses at once and settled in such a small place. The problem of eating alone can't be solved. Now he wants to rule with Xing Tianjun in the future. To some extent, it's arrogant, and if it's unpleasant, it's arrogant and a little selfish.

And it is precisely because they know that Xiao Tianjian has the idea of annexing them that many people under Zhang Xianzhong are quite resistant to Xing Tianjun at present, which is also the reason why they clashed with Xing Tianjun when they were fighting for food in Nanzhang County.

In this regard, Li Dingguo and Chen asked Zhang Xianzhong to punish the dragon, at least beat the dragon, and then send someone to apologize to Luo Rucai, accompany him, and lose some money to Luo Rucai, so that Luo Rucai and others can step down.

However, Zhang Xianzhong protects his shortcomings and refuses to do so. He feels that this has reduced his identity. After all, conflicts between the rebels from all walks of life are still frequent, and there will be frictions from time to time. It is common for you to kill a few people and I kill you. Generally, people generally don't care too much about it. In order to kill the criminal army, there are more than 20 people. The generals beat the generals. Zhang Xianzhong thought that doing so would chill the hearts of his men. In the future, no one would follow him loyally. The other felt that he could not say anything about his face, as if he was soft to Xing Tianjun. What's more, the people of Xing Tianjun were not vegetarian. As soon as they did it, they also fought back and killed him. There were more than a dozen people under a dragon, and the remaining dozens of people actually escaped out of the siege and fled back to the Xiangyang Xingtian Army Camp, so both sides had losses, and no one would find anyone to pull down!

In addition, this time it was Luo Rucai who was temporarily in charge of Xiangyang. Luo Rucai had a similar relationship with him. In the past, he was on an equal footing, so Zhang Xianzhong thought that this matter would not be over in the end.

But I didn't know that this matter seemed to be a trivial matter, but it offended Xiao Tianjian to his family. Xiao Tianjian was not the one who swallowed it at a loss. This time, he kicked it on the iron plate.

While he was still a little upset about this matter, he suddenly got the news that Zuo Liangyu led his troops to attack. His Shuntianwang encountered Zuo Liangyu's main force in Xiema Town in the south of Baokang County. As a result, he was defeated in the first battle and lost more than a thousand soldiers. Moreover, Zuo Liangyu came aggressively this time, and it seemed that he wanted to kill him. Zhang Xianzhong killed it in one fell swoop.

So Zhang Xianzhong had to temporarily leave his annoyance with Xing Tianjun and began to pay attention to Zuo Liangyu, an officer.

With Zhang Xianzhong's mobilization of soldiers and horses, Zuo Liangyu also led his troops to attack Baokang County. The two sides then launched a tug-of-war in the mountains around Baokang County. For a while, it was dark. For several days in a row, Zhang Xianzhong found that Zuo Liangyu seemed to have thrown his life to destroy him this time. Every time he fought, he took The son personally supervised the battle. Although the two sides had their own wins and defeats, it was obvious that Zhang Xianzhong's side was not as strong as Zuo Liangyu's because most of the newly assembled people, and his combat effectiveness was not as Zuo Liangyu's. Therefore, when the fierce battle reached the beginning of May, Zhang Xianzhong ordered to give up Baokang County and retreat to Fang County again.

Zuo Liangyu was also eager for his meritorious service. As soon as he recovered Baokang County, he immediately led his troops to chase Zhang Xianzhong, thinking that Zhang Xianzhong was no longer able to do it. As a result, in the area of Qingfeng Town in Fang County, he was ambushed by Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi under the command of Zhang Xianzhong. As a result, Zuo Liangyu's department suffered a big defeat and was defeated by Li Dingguo. Ai Nengqi killed nearly a thousand people. He was shocked that Zuo Liangyu had to lead his troops to withdraw to Baokang County. So far, he and Zhang Xianzhong temporarily formed a confrontation in Baokang and Fang County. For a while, there was nothing he could do with anyone.

However, the stalemate between Zhang Xianzhong and Zuo Liangyu was good news for Xiao Tianjian. While sending someone to ask Zhang Xianzhong for the murderer for justice, Fancheng began to start and lead his troops to cross the river from the upper reaches, arriving outside Xiangyang City south of the Han River, and completely surrounded Xiangyang City in the middle.

After re-examined the defense of Xiangyang City, Xiao Tianjian and the generals quickly decided with Li Xin to attack Xiangyang City.

Attacking Xiangyang City was something that Xiao Tianjian dared not think of in the past, but for the current Xing Tianjun, it is not a big problem. This time, Xiao Tianjian went south and used a large number of manpower and animal resources to pull a large number of heavy artillery from Kaifeng to Xiangyang thousands of miles away, and used a large number of ferries to These heavy guns were hoisted on the ship, transported across the Han River and delivered to Xiangyang City.

With this large number of heavy artillery, Xiao Tianjian is not worried about not being able to beat Xiangyang. Because of the terrain, it is impossible to adopt the same tactics as opening the seal here. Such a wide moat alone cannot be recovered, and it is impossible to lead the moat water elsewhere. It can only rely on heavy artillery to bombard the wall and suppress the wall. The officers and soldiers built a pontoon bridge to attack the moat, and there was basically no better way.

After the inspection, Xiao Tianjian climbed the mountain in the southwest corner of Xiangyang City and looked down at Xiangyang. The biggest problem in Xiangyang City is this mountain! Standing here, you can not only overlook Xiangyang City, but also only less than two miles away from Xiangyang City. It is the distance that Xing Tianjun's heavy artillery can reach, and even full-loaded solid shells can be bombarded directly into the city.
