Chapter 99 Borrowing Play

After listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised. They didn't expect that Xiao Tianjian suddenly changed his previous generosity towards other rebels. This time, he was so rude to Zhang Xianzhong. Because of this matter, Zhang Xianzhong was about to be destroyed. Smart people immediately understood that Xiao Tianjian He was simply taking advantage of this incident to play a role. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to destroy Zhang Xianzhong. After listening, Luo Ru was even a little chilled. Fortunately, he voted for Xiao Tianjian earlier, and later he loyally followed Xiao Tianjian. Otherwise, God would know what he would end up.

Xiao Tianjian seems to be generous on the surface, but in fact, his heart is not as generous as he thinks. Now that his strength is full, he reveals his cold nature. For the matter of Zhang Xianzhong, he has a tendency to die against others.

However, in the eyes of others, Xiao Tianjian doesn't seem to be as deep as Luo Ru thought. At least in Li Xin's opinion, Xiao Tianjian seems to think more about some things. Xiao Tianjian is actually right to do this. At this time, everyone has seen that Xiao Tianjian has the truth of winning the world. Forced, and since Zhang Xianzhong refused to return, Xiao Tianjian regarded him as an enemy. In fact, there was nothing wrong with him. What's more, this time the matter was wrong with Zhang Xianzhong. Who let him indulge his subordinates to kill the Xingtian army? This annoyed Xiao Tianjian's awe-threate retaliation against him. No wonder Xiao Tianjian did something.

After listening to this, the generals nodded one after another and said yes. One by one, they immediately cheered up and rubbed their hands to fight, and went to clean up Zhang Xianzhong.

Xiao Tianjian raised his hand to stop the generals. After standing up and walking to the map and watching carefully, he sneered and said, "Since you want to fight, you can't just beat Zhang Xianzhong this time! What I want is to solve all of them. Zhang Xianzhong will either die or catch him alive. Anyway, he can't leave! Li Xin, your staff will study how to fight this battle!

There are two requirements. One is that this battle should be fought quickly and cannot be delayed, and the other is to completely solve him! Go down and get ready! ......”

Zhang Xianzhong was a little dreaming that just because his men attacked and killed more than 20 members of the Xingtian Army in Nanzhang County without authorization, they would attract such fierce revenge as Xiao Tianjian. Therefore, after Zuo Liangyu heard that Xiangyang City was conquered by the Xing Tian Army and withdrew from Baokang, Zhang Xianzhong was not prepared at all, so he waved his army again. Entering Baokang County, Baokang County was occupied again, and an additional 3,000 people were sent to enter Nanzhang County to continue their grain business.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Xing Tianjun had begun to mobilize secretly and gradually arranged a big net for him around Baokang County, just waiting for Zhang Xianzhong to enter the urn.

This time against Zhang Xianzhong, Xiao Tianjian did not use too many troops. On the surface, his main soldiers and horses were still Chen stationed in the Xiangyang area to rest. He only secretly mobilized the four barracks under the command of Liu Yaoben and Li Shuanzhu who were good at fighting in the mountains, plus Lin Luo's scout brigade and other more than 5,000 soldiers, in batches. He left Xiangyang at night and sneaked into Baokang County. Under the leadership of the local guide, he specially selected some people's rare roads to travel, while Lin Luo's scout brigade was responsible for contacting these people and coordinating them in the center to avoid omissions. This time, Li Xin personally followed Lin Luo to be responsible for the whole. After commanding this operation, several people gradually surrounded the Houping area in the south of Baokang County in the middle.

For Xing Tianjun's action this time, even many officers who have not been mobilized by Xing Tianjun do not know it. Only the senior officers above the battalion know more about it, so the confidentiality work is quite good, so that Zhang Xianzhong's people can't detect Xing Tianjun at all. This action.

On the contrary, Xiao Tianjian ordered that a number of people who had captured Nanzhang County evacuated from Nanzhang County, and made a move to collect soldiers and horses to the south of the Han River. He also sent a large number of soldiers and horses to search for ships that could transport troops along the Han River and the Tangbai River, making great momentum to prepare for the south attack Jingzhou.

Zhang Xianzhong in Baokang County also sent a lot of detailed work to inquire about the news in the area of Xiangyang. When he learned that Xing Tianjun had given up Nanzhang County and was preparing to go south to attack Jingzhou, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. What he was afraid of was that Xing Tianjun would not leave and come to his trouble. Now it seems that this kind of Worried that it was superfluous, so he immediately led thousands of people to Nanzhang County and began to look for food for them in the area around Nanzhang County.

After all, during Zhang Xianzhong's seclusion in Gucheng, he spent a lot of money to bribe all levels of officials of Daming. Relying on the land of a county in Gucheng alone, the grain accumulated in a year was very limited. After the recovery, he quickly pulled up tens of thousands of horses. So many people ate horses, and his grain was not enough to eat at all, so He also wanted to attack Xiangyang at the beginning, trying to produce a large amount of grain and fodder from Xiangyang to meet the needs of his soldiers and horses.

Li Dingguo has mentioned to him in this regard that even if he is not attached to the Xing Tianjun, he might as well agree to join hands with the Xing Tianjun to go south to Jingzhou and cooperate with the Xing Tianjun to attack Jingzhou. In this way, they can solve the food problem in the area of Jingzhou, but Pan Duao, a military division, does not know what to consider. Oppose Li Dingguo's proposal, believing that they first occupy Gucheng, Baokang, Nanzhang, Fangshan and other places in the northwest of Huguang. They can completely follow the practice of Xing Tianjun and store grain while training troops. If Xing Tianjun captures Huguang, they can go south from this area, take Xingshan to fight Badong, and then from Badong. Bring it into Sichuan. As long as you occupy Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong can still sit on the ground and be king. It is not necessarily that he can't compete with Xiao Xingtian to win the world in the future.

Therefore, Pan Duao's opinion is very similar to Zhang Xianzhong's appetite, so that Xiao Tianjian's various support given to Zhang Xianzhong has long been forgotten by Zhang Xianzhong at this time, thinking about being self-reliant and not having anything to do with Xing Tianjun. At this point, Zhang Xianzhong's ambition is completely revealed.

In addition, it was precisely because of this that Zhang Xianzhong learned about Luo Rucai's current situation, and that the fifth battalion of Gezuo had also been absorbed into his command by Xiao Tianjian. He was afraid that one day he would be too close to Xing Tianjun and accidentally swallowed up by Xiao Tianjian, so he would rather choose to be hostile to Xing Tianjun. I don't want to have anything to do with Xiao Tianjian at this time.

Zhang Xianzhong's situation is different from Xiao Tianjian's. Xiao Tianjian has had a large and stable base for so many years. He will prepare a sufficient supply of grain and fodder in each battle. Moreover, the Xing Tianjun's combat effectiveness is strong, and he rarely misses the siege. Therefore, he can often rely on the capture of a large number of big landlords. The Zhuangbao got the grain they hid, so as to support the consumption of the army. After capturing the important town of Xiangyang, Xing Tianjun got tens of thousands of stones of grain in the city. This grain was originally gradually accumulated by the court to Xiangyang. As materials for soldiers and horses in Huguang to conquer Henan, it is now cheap. Xing Tianjun, so Xing Tianjun gathered tens of thousands of horses in Xiangyang City. There was no problem for people to eat horses, and they lived a comfortable life.

But Zhang Xianzhong didn't. He said that there were tens of thousands of people, but he did not dare to gather tens of thousands of people together. In this way, he could not gather up the food consumed every day, and they had already robbed everything that Baokang and other counties could grab. In addition, here is basically all It is a mountainous area, with few good land and a small population, so in order to solve the problem of his men eating, he had to disperse the people and horses as much as possible. Only when there is a large-scale operation can they gather together, and let his soldiers and horses plunder food by themselves to meet their needs.

Therefore, after reoccupying Baokang County, Zhang Xianzhong saw that the county had been destroyed by Zuo Liangyu's people, so he put his army in the Houping area south of Baokang County. This was only a concentration of more than 2,000 elite soldiers under his command. In this way, it was also convenient to solve their problem of eating.

However, these arrangements of Zhang Xianzhong were under the control of Xiao Tianjian. When he decided to launch revenge on Zhang Xianzhong, he sent a large number of detailed works and scouts, sneaked into the areas of Baokang and Fangshan, and basically explored Zhang Xianzhong's layout clearly, which also arranged a surprise attack on Zhang Xianzhong's army. The big camp provides an opportunity to take advantage of.

At the beginning of June, it was quite cool in the night in the mountains of Baokang, but there were more mosquitoes. As long as these blood-sucking things smelled people and animals, they would immediately jump on them and suck blood to their heart's content, which made people itchy and unbearable.

But in the few ravines around Houping, there are a large number of soldiers in the dark, who have been silently closing their eyes and resting. The annoying mosquitoes keep buzzing around them. Everyone's exposed skin is full of pimples. Occasionally, someone pats them gently, but But it didn't make much noise. Instead, most people had to scratch their ears and cheeks. Only a few nervous people closed their eyes and slept at all, and were not disturbed by these mosquitoes at all.

And not far from them, there will be noisy voices from time to time, including the crying of women, the laughter of men, and the sound of drinking and punching, which are all from Zhang Xianzhong's camp.

Although Zhang Xianzhong's military discipline is not as corrupt as that of the officers and soldiers under the command of Zuo Liangyu, it is not much better. The women they robbed from rich families are brought to the army for their soldiers to play with, and they are never forbidden to drink, so at night, the camp is in chaos.

But they absolutely didn't expect that just around them, there would be a group of people coming towards them, which had cut off all the roads before and after them. Even some generals sent sent out patrols in Zhang Xianzhong's camp were overturned one by one by the scouts of the Xingtian Army, and there were more The scouts are approaching Zhang Xianzhong's battalion and pulling out some bright and dark whistles one by one.
