Some issues don't need to be considered at all. People like Chuang Wang and Li Zicheng will never take such risks. In short, they can talk if they can, and if they can't talk, they can think of other ways. After standing there for too long, they are no longer the passionate people they used to be.
What a righteous man. Li Yan doesn't think there's anything wrong with these people's ideas. Anyone in their position would think about things this way.
However, after all, Li Yan couldn't adapt to Tie Mo's way of speaking. The Living Hell King's mouth would definitely make people choke as long as he opened his mouth, but you couldn't refute. Moreover, you never know what the Living Hell King could do.
What's going on? Look at what the Living King of Hell means. If people don't confront you head-on, they'll use artillery fire. If you really want to break out of the encirclement, they won't stop you. If you were an ordinary court general, you would dare to say this.
talk?
Li Yan felt that if we continue to talk, we can't come up with a reason. The main reason is that he is too weak and cannot be tough at all. He must find a better opportunity. If he is a little stronger, he can win more.
benefits.
Just when Li Yan's negotiations seemed to be stalling, Xu Changlu's troops had already arrived in the northern part of Jiuhua Mountain. With an army of 30,000 men, Xu Changlu was full of energy and high spirits, and there was no trace of the fact that he had just been killed by rogue bandits years ago
Compared with Xu Changlu, Nangong Sen and Yue Zicong were defeated. Xu Changlu did not think that he would be in any danger when he came to Jiuhua Mountain this time. Now the rogue bandits have been surrounded by the Beijing camp and the border troops on Straw Hat Slope. They are about to be destroyed.
If these 30,000 troops here attack again, the rogue bandits will immediately fall apart?
The army set up camp, and Xu Changlu led several of his troops to the high slopes. In this season, it was windy and cold, but Xu Changlu didn't care. He liked the feeling of looking out from a high place. The green smoke curled up in the distance, which was obviously a rogue bandit.
They were burying pots and making rice. I really don’t know what the Beijing camp and the border troops were doing. Instead of taking advantage of the low morale of the rogue bandits and quickly annihilating them, they actually faced off for several days without making any move.
"Tell all the troops to rest for a day. Tomorrow, we will pass through Mopan Camp and go to Liujiaji in the northeast of Straw Hat Slope. We will kill the traitors there first!" Xu Changlu was giving orders to himself, but he didn't notice several generals behind him.
His face changed several times. After a while, a general named Du Guozhong stood up and persuaded: "General Xu, we have just arrived at Jiuhua Mountain. If we have any action, should we discuss it with General Cao and others? If we attack the rogue bandits,
We still need more cooperation from friendly forces!”
Xu Changlu frowned and glared at Du Guozhong angrily, "General Du, are you hungry? You have to eat well in a while. Don't bring the wrong rice bowl."
Du Guozhong was shocked, and he cupped his hands and did not dare to say anything more. Du Guozhong and others felt as if they were in the clear mirror. They were responsible for the job of the Ministry of War, which was completely different from that of the Beijing camp and the border army. Seeing Du Guozhong's situation, others became even more distraught.
I won’t say much more. It’s obvious that the officials of the Sixth Department have other ideas. The power struggle between the Sixth Department and the Dudu’s Mansion is not something that little shrimps like them can interfere with.
Xu Changlu snorted coldly in his heart and ignored Du Guozhong. Xu Changlu's military ability was not very good, but he was not stupid. When he came, he heard Gu Shangshu and others explain that he brought troops to Jiuhua Mountain this time, not just to suppress bandits.
Simple. This is Southern Zhili, how can we let the border troops and the Beijing camp steal all the limelight? In the final analysis, Xu Changlu is here to gain fame and steal the limelight. He does not expect to win any big battles, just a small victory.
With bragging rights, the gentlemen in Nanjing have their own ways to publicize and exaggerate.
Liujiaji is a small place, and it is not a strategic location. The bandits will not have much energy to pay attention to this place, so attacking Liujiaji is highly efficient and the risk is very small. Xu Changlu also hesitated a lot before choosing this place.
The purpose of attacking Liujiaji was to gain credit, so what's the point of dragging the troops under Cao Wenzhao's command? Aren't they causing trouble for themselves?
Under normal circumstances, there is nothing wrong with Xu Changlu's thinking, because the bandits will not put too much energy into a small Liu family. But what Xu Changlu doesn't know is that the bandits are now focused on negotiating with the Living King of Hell. In this case
, still want to try every means to put pressure on Tie Mo and others? At this juncture, Xu Changlu came to Jiuhua Mountain with his troops, and was inevitably targeted by Li Zicheng and others.
Li Zicheng and others also wanted to attack Cao Wenzhao and put pressure on Tie Mo, but Cao Wenzhao's men were very cunning and did not give him any chance. On the contrary, Xu Changlu, with the attitude of marching straight in, would have been without this army.
If you think too much about a horse, you will be a fool.
Niu Jinxing leaned on the back of the chair, stroking a yellowed book in his hand, "Everyone, King Chuang has made an explanation before. We have to put some pressure on the Living King of Hell, otherwise it will be difficult to negotiate with Li Yan. King Chuang
What I mean is to perform an operation on Xu Changlu, please tell me, how should we attack him next?"
Niu Jinxing seemed to be the second most powerful person in the army. Li Zicheng, Wang Yan and others did not dare to neglect him. At this time, Niu Jinxing represented Gao Yingxiang. After thinking for a moment, Xu Beichuan said: "Looking at Xu Changlu's posture, most of the time he is
They were heading towards Liujiaji. Only about 500 of our troops were stationed in Liujiaji. Xu Changlu attacked Liujiaji because he was sure that we no longer cared about Liujiaji. We might as well follow his wishes, he is not
If you want Liujiaji, give it to him. But as long as he rushes into Liujiaji, it will not be so easy to leave. We can send a troop to bypass the east side of Liujiaji and block the Liujiaji intersection.
Give Xu Changlu a good beating."
After listening to Xu Beichuan's words, Niu Jinxing looked a little weird, "Isn't this a little inappropriate? Those people are not fools. Let's give up Liujiaji and send troops to go east. They will be unprepared and dare to enter Liujiaji."
?”
"Xu Changlu is incompetent and arrogant. If you don't let him eat meat like this, he will be angry. Xu Changlu will probably enter Liujiaji because he is stupid enough" Xu Beichuan said with a face
He smiled and sounded very confident. He had dealt with Xu Changlu a lot and knew this person very well. He was able to break into Nanzhili thanks to Xu Changlu, a loser. If Nangongsen takes control of the overall situation, the rebels want to enter Nanzhili.
Hey, I'm really going to run into some trouble.
The next day, Xu Changlu led 30,000 troops across Mopan Camp and headed south. Cao Wenzhao sent Cao Bianjiao to inform him and told him not to act rashly. Unfortunately, Xu Changlu didn't take it seriously at all. Even if there was really danger ahead.
, and he did not intend to stop. Soon, 30,000 imperial troops arrived at the outskirts of Liujiaji. Everything was as Xu Changlu expected. He just sent people to attack, and the thieves gave up to Liujiaji after a little resistance.
Xu Changlu was very happy about these things, and the plan went very smoothly. After entering Liujiaji, Xu Changlu plunged into a house and concentrated on how to write this official document. Even if it was a small matter, he had to polish his pen and write it well.
It's a great achievement, so that Nanjing can show off it. After an hour, an official document was barely finished. He called his trusted guards and quickly sent the document out. It wasn't that Xu Changlu was anxious, but that Nanjing was in urgent need of it.
It's good to restore your prestige.
Not long after the official document was sent away, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door. Not long after, Du Guozhong led a few people into the house and said in a panic: "General Xu, we just visited the horse to report. A large number of thieves bypassed Liu.
Jiaji is running to the east of us."
Xu Changlu frowned and stared at everyone in displeasure, "Why are you panicking? Let those thieves bypass them if they want. There are so many of us, why are we afraid of them? Look at each of you, Tie Mo and those people can defeat them."
Aren't you capable of this group of thieves? They're just some thieves. We haven't fought yet, so we're panicking. What's the use of you?"
Du Guozhong and others dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. They all thought that Xu Changlu was a military idiot, but they could not say it. But now near Straw Hat Slope, because Xu Changlu was arrogant and had other ideas, the border troops and the Beijing camp were not allowed to cooperate.
.In other words, if something goes wrong now, you will have to bear it yourself.
While he was talking, the whole Liujiaji was already bustling with activity. After Lu Weiliang led 20,000 peasant troops around, without saying a word, they surrounded Liujiaji and started a fierce attack. It is ridiculous to say that 20,000 peasant troops surrounded more than 30,000 officers and soldiers.
Damn, isn’t this a fantasy? But this kind of thing actually happened.
The only one to blame is Xu Changlu. How could a 30,000-strong army get together? They should be divided into several groups and stationed there. This way they can not only support each other, but also play a defensive role. Xu Changlu is better off. After arriving at Liujiaji,
Nothing was done, so the 30,000 troops were stationed casually around Liujiaji. From the beginning to the end, Xu Changlu never thought that the traitors would dare to counterattack Liujiaji at this time.
An army of 30,000 people, that is, 30,000 pigs, surrounded Liujiaji, was also a big trouble. Too many people were stationed in all directions, and they were suddenly attacked by the peasant army. All parties failed to respond, and everything was in chaos. Many people were in chaos.
He wanted to run to Liujiaji, but could Liujiaji's bigger place accommodate an army of 30,000 people? Xu Changlu's face turned green with anger. He clearly had more troops, so how could he let the thieves hold him down and fight?
When he came to the outside of the village, he looked ahead and saw officers and soldiers scurrying around everywhere. Xu Changlu cursed: "Are they all pigs? There are more than 30,000 of us, and we are being pressed down and beaten. You... go quickly,
Fight back the thieves for me..."
The generals sighed wildly in their hearts. Fighting is not simply about who has more troops. If this were the case, the ones besieged on Jiuhua Mountain would not be the rogues, but the border troops and the Beijing camp. Previously, the Beijing camp and the border troops stood still.
The bandits don't dare to move. That's because the bandits are afraid of being beaten. It's better for us to march straight in. The bandits are afraid of the border troops and the iron governor, but they are not afraid of us. Besides, what kind of fighting ability do these master soldiers under his command have?
Comparing it with the border army?
Du Guozhong and others hurriedly led various troops to fight back, but the tens of thousands of troops around Liujiaji were all in chaos. How could they stabilize it in a short time? Gradually, Xu Changlu also panicked. If this continues, once
When the rogue bandits come in, there is a real possibility that he, Xu, will become a prisoner. He cannot be a prisoner even if he dies. Once he becomes a prisoner of the bandits, the whole family will be unlucky. Maybe his uncle Fei Yang will also suffer the consequences.
.
At this critical moment, Xu Changlu once again made a fatal mistake. Before the generals could stabilize their formation, he hurriedly ordered all troops to withdraw from Liujiaji and return to the Mopanying area. At this time, all troops had already
In confusion and panic, it can be said that many people were ready to run away, but they didn't dare to escape because of the pressure from the people above. But when Xu Changlu's order came, what else would they care about, so the rebels turned into
After being defeated, the retreat turned into a rout. Xu Changlu managed to escape unharmed while mingling with the crowd. However, Lu Weiliang and his men chased and killed him all the way, causing serious losses to more than 30,000 officers and soldiers.
When they returned to the northeastern part of Jiuhua Mountain and counted the number of people again, Xu Changlu almost spit out his blood. The army of more than 30,000 people was stunned to be killed by more than 6,000 bandits in one breath. Of course, many people here were beaten.
They dispersed, but it was still terrible to lose so many people. Xu Changlu and others looked very embarrassed. They had just gone to Liujiaji, and before their buttocks were warm, they were chased out like sheep. It was dawn when they went,
It was still dark when we came back, and the battle turned into a joke.
Du Guozhong and others had no shame in their faces and felt aggrieved. But Xu Changlu was not just aggrieved. After returning to the camp and gathering his mood, he remembered a very fatal thing. The victory report he had written was already there.
It was sent to Nanjing three hours ago. The good news was sent away, and it was defeated immediately. What should I do? Because I was eager to make a contribution, it was an official document sent at high speed. Now I can't catch it back.
In an instant, Xu Changlu's face turned pale and he was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. He felt that his official career was over.
In Nanjing, most of the six officials in the old palace were beaming with joy at this time, especially Gu Tongen, who urged the officials under him to quickly write down official documents. In fact, the six officials had already made preparations and were waiting for the good news from Xu Changlu.
There was a lot of hype here to increase the prestige and influence of the Six Divisions. It seems that Xu Changlu also lived up to his expectations. He won a victory within two days of arriving, recaptured Liujiaji in one battle, and annihilated more than 5,000 bandits.
This kind of thing needs to be publicized well. Of course, there is something fishy in the official document, and everyone can see it. It would be good to have a thousand people in Liujiaji’s miserable place, and more than five thousand people were wiped out, which is clear.
Is it just false claims of military merit? But no one cares about this. What they care about is using this opportunity to gain prestige.
Soon, official documents announcing the victory were plastered all over the streets and alleys of Nanjing. Even the big willow trees by the Qinhuai River had a few official documents posted on them. They were even sent to Suzhou and Yangzhou, letting the people of Southern Zhili know that the next six divisions were Baonan Zhili.
Tranquility's efforts.
After the official document was issued, Gu Tongen and others were in a happy mood after hearing the praise from the public. Since the rogue bandits entered South Zhili, everyone has never had a comfortable life. Today, they can finally have a good sleep happily.
