When Wang Jiayin was killed, Wang Ziyong took the blame, which caused a deep conflict between him and Gao Yingxiang. Later, due to pressure, he had to maintain a relationship with Gao Yingxiang and cooperate with each other. What Gao Yingxiang is doing now is too much.
, he simply didn’t treat Wang Ziyong as a human being. It is said that Zhang Xianzhong’s matter was Wang Ziyong’s internal matter. Why did Gao Yingxiang suddenly intervene?
Gao Yingxiang recruited Zhang Xianzhong's troops without considering Wang Ziyong's feelings at all. Wang Ziyong could tolerate other things, but this matter was really intolerable. Many of his subordinates were watching. If there was no reaction at all, who would be willing to do so in the future?
Listen to his king's words?
In the room, Wang Ziyong pounded the table hard, and his shouts and curses could be heard far away: "Gao Yingxiang, you old man, you go too far to bully others."
Wang Ziyong's anger was not pretended, he was really angry to the extreme. Wang Ziyong has always felt that although the relationship between us is not harmonious, we still need to give him the necessary face. The most important thing is not to let the other party be embarrassed in front of the brothers.
Taiwan. But this time, Gao Yingxiang completely broke the rules, which was equivalent to throwing Wang's face to the ground and stepping on it.
Wang Ziyong acted like this, and Zhang Damou and Zhang Cunmeng were naturally furious. Zhang Damou, who had always been steady, had a gloomy face and said in a cold voice: "Boss Wang, we absolutely cannot let this matter go like this. According to my opinion, we don't have to worry about both parties.
It’s shameless, doesn’t Gao Yingxiang want to attack Runing Mansion? Well, let’s attack Fangzhou, then approach Nanyang Mansion, and see how Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong react.”
"Since Zhang Xianzhong has taken refuge with Gao Yingxiang, we obviously can't touch him, but there is no problem in touching Fangzhou. Hmm, if he dares to sacrifice his officers and soldiers to fight with us, then we will stay with him to the end. At worst, we will all die together!"
Zhang Damou's tone was solemn and his attitude was quite resolute, and Zhang Cunmeng also expressed his agreement. Two generals under his command said so, and Wang Ziyong could not let down his momentum. Although Wang Ziyong has been in a bad situation recently, his status is not comparable to that of Gao Yingxiang.
Up and down, if you were slapped in the face like this, if you didn't show any expression, you might as well find a manure pit and drown yourself. After beating Fangzhou to relieve his hatred, Wang Ziyong roared viciously: "Hey, it's not just Fangzhou, take back the troops and horses in the east,
Send someone to deliver a letter to the Living King of Hell, saying that we will never be enemies with him. In addition, we will reveal Gao Yingxiang’s plan to the Living King of Hell. Doesn’t Gao Yingxiang want Runing Mansion? Let him fight with the Living King of Hell. I don’t believe it.
, the Living King of Hell can let Gao Yingxiang lead him by the nose."
It is said that cooperation with officers and soldiers is despised, but this time neither Zhang Damou nor Zhang Cunmeng expressed their opinions. It was really Gao Yingxiang who went too far. Since Gao Yingxiang didn't follow the rules, don't blame everyone for his reckless tactics.
.
Wang Ziyong moved very quickly. Gao Yingxiang's troops were still preparing to go to Runing Mansion. Zhang Damou had already sent troops to the south of Funiu Mountain and launched a fierce attack on Fangzhou. All along, Fangzhou had been regarded as the territory of the peasant army by default.
For his own sake, no one would cause trouble in Fangzhou. However, Zhang Dayou completely ignored it. The soldiers and horses left by Zhang Xianzhong at the foot of the mountain tried to stop them, but they were all destroyed by Zhang Dayou.
Zhang Damou led his troops into the territory of Fangzhou. What he was most interested in doing was to rob, specifically to rob merchants who had good relations with Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong. His purpose was self-evident. Zhang Xianzhong, who was in Funiu Mountain, was so angry that he vomited blood and ordered his troops to join him.
The horse was about to launch a counterattack against Wang Ziyong in the east. Of course, Wang Ziyong would not wait for Zhang Xianzhong to come, and would withdraw the troops and horses at the foot of the east mountain in advance to fully respond to Zhang Xianzhong's possible attack.
There were more than 20,000 troops at the foot of the mountain in the east. They were originally cooperating with Li Yangchun's troops to threaten Ruzhou City. Now that they are all withdrawn, there is no threat to the west of Ruzhou. Tie Mo has more troops and horses at his disposal. The king's own troops
As soon as the horses retreated, Tie Mo was not idle. Since Wang Ziyong had done this, Tie Mo had no reason to be a bad guy, so he simply ordered Ding Luyan to attack Yichuan City, starting from Yichuan City and approaching the west of Funiu Mountain.
To the west of Funiu Mountain, this is Zhang Xianzhong's territory. Ding Luyan's actions clearly told everyone that the officers and soldiers attacking Funiu Mountain were all for Zhang Xianzhong. With the officers and soldiers on the side, how could Zhang Xianzhong dare to attack Wang Ziyong?
He dragged people to fight Wang Ziyong, and the officers and soldiers stabbed him from behind. Wouldn't Zhang Xianzhong have to lose all his money?
In just two days, various forces gathered around Funiu Mountain, with mixed reactions. Everyone fought and fought, and in the end, the one who suffered the worst was none other than Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong found that he was always unlucky, and Fangzhou
Not to mention that he had lost a lot of supplies, but he did not dare to attack Wang Ziyong, so he could only swallow all the grievances in his stomach.
Originally, he hoped to use Gao Yingxiang's name to scare Wang Ziyong, but he never thought of stealing the chicken but losing the rice. Gao Yingxiang also had no good intentions. He clearly planned to abandon Nanyang Mansion and also recruited Zhang Xianzhong's troops. At this time, he gathered the troops.
, it was clear that he wanted Zhang to squat in Funiu Mountain to contain the soldiers and horses around him. The soldiers and horses around him were not only officers and soldiers, but also the king's own army.
The diversionary effect was perfect, but Zhang did not enjoy any benefit at all. He wanted to scold Gao Yingxiang, but he did not dare. Now that Wang Ziyong had been thoroughly offended, if he and Gao Yingxiang broke up again, it would be terrible.
He really didn’t have the good life that Zhang Xianzhong did.
Zhang Xianzhong has always been arrogant and ruthless. But this time, he was really aggrieved and had no choice but to complain to Liu Wenxiu and others, "You bitch, Gao Yingxiang is so shameless. He is directly attacking us."
Sell it. Not only do we have to help him watch Wang use it for his own use, but we also have to withstand the threats from the officers and soldiers. And the man named Wang must be colluding with the officers and soldiers secretly..."
Liu Wenxiu was secretly troubled and helpless. Judging from the current situation, there must be something fishy between Wang Ziyong and the King of Hell, otherwise the officers and soldiers would not be so confident about Wang Ziyong's troops and sent troops specifically to threaten the western half of Funiu Mountain.
"Father, we originally sought Gao Yingxiang's asylum. It's understandable that he uses us as pawns. If we weren't still useful, I'm afraid he wouldn't agree. Gao Yingxiang intended to go to Runing Mansion and informed Wang Ziyong of the news.
This is really a bit too much. But we can only endure it now. At least, in name, we are now considered to be under Gao Yingxiang’s command. Even Wang Ziyong cannot openly cause trouble for us. As long as we survive this level, we
Gao Yingxiang can't say anything about seeking development elsewhere, and he has to support us in name only."
After listening to Liu Wenxiu's words, Zhang Xianzhong grinned with a bitter look on his face: "According to your wishes, we can only swallow our anger and can't do anything?"
Liu Wenxiu and Ai Keqi looked at each other and nodded awkwardly and helplessly. There was indeed nothing they could do. In the final analysis, their strength was still inferior to others, so they had to endure what they had to endure? Evacuate Funiu Mountain? Not to mention,
If we really want to evacuate Funiu Mountain and allow the officers, soldiers and Wang Ziyong to act as they please without any restraint, then Gao Yingxiang will be the first to get angry.
The situation in Funiu Mountain is complicated and confusing, and the situation in Ruzhou Prefecture is also changing. After the Xuanfu soldiers and horses took Malingguan, they rested for less than four days before they began to advance south and came into contact with Li Yangchun's soldiers and horses. Just after the fight, the Xuanfu soldiers and horses
The soldiers and horses once again taught Li Yangchun a lesson. With a dense volley of musketeers and a charge of cavalry, Li Yangchun had no time to withdraw the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city and were beaten to pieces in the wild.
Xuanfu soldiers and horses launched a tidal counterattack in Ruzhou Prefecture, and Li Yangchun was helpless. In many cases, 3,000 Xuanfu soldiers and horses could overwhelm tens of thousands of peasant troops. The gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides was too great.
The courage of the peasant army has been broken.
By mid-September, Li Yangchun's soldiers and horses were beaten and retreated, and finally they could only retreat in Baofeng City to confront the Xuanfu soldiers and horses. Because the walls of Baofeng City were high and thick, Geng Zhongming did not order a strong attack, and instead began to attack Lushan in the west.
The remnants of the nearby peasant army launched a clearing campaign.
In Baofeng City, everything was gloomy and gloomy. Li Yangchun felt that everything in front of him was unreal. He clearly had an army of 50,000 in his hands and was fully capable of fighting, but for some reason, he had no confidence at all. If not for this building
With a fortified city to rely on, I was really afraid that these tens of thousands of people would immediately collapse. Now that the military was completely demoralized, Li Yangchun's biggest wish was to withdraw from the territory of Ruzhou Prefecture and find a place to recuperate, but unfortunately, it was impossible.
If Baofeng City falls into the hands of officers and soldiers, Li Zicheng's troops who have gone deep into Kaifeng Mansion will be completely cut off. Although he has some conflicts with Li Zicheng, seeing Li Zicheng's troops trapped in Kaifeng Mansion, Li Yangchun will not be afraid of him.
There is no benefit at all. Furthermore, if he really dares to do this, Gao Yingxiang will probably go crazy.
After walking in the city for a long time, Hua Xiaorong felt that his heart was filled with despair. He walked through the major defense areas and listened to the soldiers talking behind their backs. Each one of them regarded the Xuanfu soldiers and horses as heavenly soldiers and generals, especially the Living King of Hell. When he mentioned this
Man, many brothers are trembling. How can we still fight when we get to this point?
"Brother Li, King Li Tian, we can't go on like this. If we are trapped in Baofeng City, we are waiting for death!" Hua Xiaorong knew very well that even though Baofeng City's defenses were good, as long as the Xuanfu troops really wanted to attack,
It's definitely undefendable. People's hearts are broken, so what's the point of being strong and strong?
Hua Xiaorong was worried, so why wasn't Li Yangchun so? Seeing Hua Xiaorong staring anxiously, he could only sigh: "Withdraw at this time, not to mention whether the soldiers and horses of the Living King of Hell will bite us, do you think Gao Yingxiang will allow us?"
Doing this? We can only wait for now, as long as Gao Yingxiang leads his troops into Runing Mansion, our opportunity will come."
Gao Yingxiang captured Runing Mansion, so Li Zicheng could safely go south from Kaifeng Mansion into Runing Mansion, and then join the army, and there would be no danger of his retreat being cut off. At that time, if Li Yangchun retreated again, no one could say anything.
The most important thing is that Li Yangchun felt that the Xuanfu troops outside the city did not seem to be in a hurry to attack Baofeng City.
.......
After capturing Malingguan, a temporary command post was set up in just two days, and Tie Mo also moved here from Ruzhou City. At this time, Tie Mo and Wang Zuoguan were discussing matters urgently, but the words
The conversation we were talking about was not about Ruzhou.
"Superintendent, we have just received a military report. Orger has led his troops into Guide Mansion and built a line of defense in the east. General Zhou has also led his troops to Zhengzhou. He will soon enter Kaifeng Mansion and threaten Li Zicheng from the flank."
After listening carefully, Tie Mo raised his eyebrows and asked, "How did Li Zicheng react?"
"Li Zicheng seems to have figured out our intention. All the troops began to retreat from Chenliu and ran towards the south. Now that Tongxu has been captured, Li Zicheng himself has left Qixian and is stationed in the Xiaohuang River area!"
Wang Zuoguan stood up, came to the map, and pointed to the location of the Little Yellow River, "At present, Li Zicheng has not made any next move, but according to my subordinates, he has already seen our intention to prevent him from advancing eastward. I want him to come
He didn't want to fight with us, so he gave up the opportunity to attack Chen Liuhe and enter Fengyang Mansion, and turned south. The Xiaoyang River area is not suitable for cavalry operations. Li Zicheng is stationed here, and he can attack or retreat. Moreover, it is far from the west
Hua and Shangshui are very close, and he can capture Shangshui and Xihua at any time."
Tie Mo thought for a while, "Sir, what do you think Li Zicheng wants to do next?"
"If my subordinates estimate correctly, Li Zicheng's real goal should be to attack Xihua and Shangshui. As long as he takes Shangshui County, he can go south to Runing Prefecture at any time and attack Longkou and Xinzhai. If he takes Longkou Town, then
It is equivalent to inserting a knife to the east of Runing Mansion. If Gao Yingxiang's main army wants to capture Runing Mansion, it will be much smoother."
Tie Mo pursed his lips and laughed, "In other words, Gao Yingxiang should attack Runing Mansion soon?"
"It should be like this... Supervisor, can we start preparing for the next step?" After saying that, Wang Zuoguan smiled mysteriously.
Tie Mo shrugged noncommittally, with a mischievous smile on his face, "It's time to prepare for the next step. Send an order to the sand sculptures and order them to enter Zhujiao Mountain as quickly as possible to prepare for the 'Good Helper' plan."
...
Everything went as Tie Mo expected. Li Zicheng had only been stationed at Xiaohuanghe for two days before he took his cavalry as the vanguard and raided Shangshui County south. At the same time, Gao Yingxiang's troops suddenly set off from Maojiazhai.
They poured into Runing Prefecture and besieged Xinyang within one day. By the early morning of the next day, Xinyang County declared its fall under the uninterrupted siege of 30,000 peasant troops.
After Gao Yingxiang's main army captured Xinyang, they marched eastward along the official road without stopping and attacked Luoshan County.
On September 19th, the third year of Chongzhen, Luoshan was in danger. But from the beginning to the end, the main southern army stationed in Shangcheng and Gushi remained indifferent and had no intention of rushing to Luoshan's aid.
On September 20th, Luoshan was captured, and the main force of Gao Yingxiang's peasant army poured into Xixian County, the hinterland of Runing Prefecture.
Gao Yingxiang poured into Runing Prefecture from Nanyang Prefecture, and then went from Xinyang to Luoshan and then to Xixian County. It was so smooth that even Gao Yingxiang himself did not expect to return to Xixian County so quickly.
At this time, the Xuanfu army, which Gao Yingxiang had been worried about, was still stationed outside Baofeng City, and the Funiu Mountain side was also peaceful.
For a moment, Gao Yingxiang had the illusion that the Living King of Hell had become a good person?
