Although he had already decided to enter the Linjiang Army, the Xin Wang Zhaozhen did not rush to agree to it. Instead, he was silent for a moment, smiled, and said, "This, Mr. Zhang, there are riots around Linjiang Army. , You should go to the local officers and soldiers for help. Linjiang Military City's management belt and commander are in the hands of the county soldiers, enough to quell the chaos, why did you come to me, the leader of the Wugong Mountain bandit army of Chu?"
Zhang Cheng's brows wrinkled slightly. Before coming to the barracks this time, several big bureaucratic tycoons in Linjiang City had discussed together, believing that Zhao Yan, who was pretending to be Wang Zhaozhen, would grab Gao Ju's death, so he took it. Go down to Wugong Mountain. It should be a person with a very impatient personality.
I thought that when they presented their intention of cooperation to Xinwang Zhaozhen, Xinwang Zhaozhen could not wait to agree. Unexpectedly, this letter Wang Zhao Zhen could be so calm. However, Zhang Cheng only hesitated for a while, and soon he returned to normal, and said to the letter king Zhao Zhen: "Master Mingjian. Although the adults of Linjiang Army have the intention to kill thieves, but the strength of Linjiang Army City is insufficient, and The bandit army is too tyrannical. My Linjiang army is really unable to clean up the officers and soldiers. That’s why I discussed with the adults, recruited adults, and asked adults for help. The adults will jointly recommend Master Zhao Yan to rule the court and send a large number of them. Money and food."
"Oh?" To Zhang Cheng's answer, Wang Zhaozhen was a little surprised, thinking that the governor of Zhang Ling was going to cause trouble. It now appears that this guy is going to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. This Zhang Ling had a good idea, let his soldiers and horses fight against the bandit army, so that the strength of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen would be lost. At that time, I am afraid that Zhang Ling may unite with surrounding officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress him. It seems that Zhang Ling is really difficult to deal with.
The letter king Zhao Zhen turned his head and looked at Ji Qianqian again, and then looked at Ji Qianqian for a moment, and then Ji Qianqian smiled and said to Zhang Cheng: "Mr. Zhang. My father-in-law is a Wugong mountain appointed by the Chu court. The leader, he is only under the jurisdiction of Wugong Mountain. This hastily dispatched troops to the hinterland of Linjiang Army in the Song Dynasty. I am afraid that something is wrong?"
The eyebrows between Wang Zhaozhen and Ji Qianqian were eyebrows, Zhang Cheng had long seen it in his eyes, and he knew clearly in his heart that the young literati in front of him was afraid that he would believe in Wang Zhaozhen's important adviser. Originally, Zhang Cheng was still thinking about how to deal with it, but when he heard Ji Qianqian's words, Zhang Cheng almost didn't hold back his breath. Don't dare to send troops rashly? This Wugong Mountain Army has successively captured several large cities in the surrounding area. Are you ashamed to use this as an excuse now
Despite Ji Qianqian's cheeky, Zhang Cheng was a little overwhelmed. But thinking of this mission, Zhang Cheng still suppressed the anger in his heart. Of course he understood the purpose of Ji Qianqian's sudden proposal, and said in a deep voice: "What this adult said is not unreasonable, so this time Zhang came to bring me and the people around Linjiang. Please. I also ask my lord not to refuse."
People? I'm afraid it's what you mean by Zhang Ling. All the people present were snorting in the bottom of their hearts. Wang Zongshi and Lin Yuhu's few military commanders who had nothing to do with the city even snorted, but Xin Wang Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, nothing to pierce this layer of window paper.
However, this does not mean that if you believe in Wang Zhaozhen, you will compromise. If he wants to take over Linjiang, the officers and soldiers there must not stay. At the same time, Ji Qianqian also meant this, and immediately she said with embarrassment: "Well. Although it is the request of the people, but the so-called name is not correct, it will not go well. I believe Mr. Zhang also understands this truth. I think it is better. Please ask your husband to go back and discuss it with the people." Ji Qianqian's last sentence was a call-out attitude. The governor Zhang Ling wanted to simply resolve the offensive of the Wugong Mountain Army and let the Wugong Mountain Army attack the bandits in the surrounding area. It is impossible to chase the bandits and surrender to the Song Dynasty. How can the letter to Wang Zhao Zhen be dismissed with a little fame
Zhang Cheng's face became more and more ugly now, that Ji Qianqian's smiling face fell in his eyes, and Zhang Cheng couldn't wait to smash him into pieces with a punch. In fact, Zhang Cheng's visit this time was naturally to ask for the bottom line of the representatives of the governor Zhang Ling. Facing the Wugong Mountain army pressed forward. The local army of officers and soldiers is not necessarily incapable of giving up, but it can be guaranteed, so it is better to keep it.
After all, keeping these bright troops can make the Wugong Mountain Army a little jealous. But now it seems that the plan of the governor Zhang Ling is obviously in vain. The low-level generals and troops around the Linjiang Army are probably going to be used as scapegoats. However, these armies are like bandits, often plundering the people, which is also a great disaster to the locality. No matter what, if these bandits are eliminated, the people will benefit first.
Zhang Cheng took a deep breath and barely put on a smiling face, and said, "This adult is right. But this matter needs to be discussed with the adults and the leader before he can come up with a proper one. Way.” Although Zhang Cheng knew in his heart that he could not keep the army of officials and bandits who were rampant in the village, this matter could not be decided arbitrarily. Zhang Cheng must also ask the adults for advice. Moreover, this superficial effort is required. Do it in place.
Of course, the letter king Zhao Zhen also understands the nuances, and Dang even smiled and said: "Yes! It should! Ha ha, but the husband still has to move faster. According to a certain family, the thieves in Linjiang City may not wait too long. "Speaking, the letter king Zhao Zhen didn't forget to threaten him secretly. He didn't want to be dragged by the governor Zhang Ling.
For Zhang Ling's recruitment, Zhao Zhen couldn't ask for it. Now he is attacking the city and using the name of a Chu country bandit army. It is really unreasonable. Now accepting Zhaoan in name, after he became an officer and soldier, he became an "officer and soldier" that was not restricted by the Southern Song Dynasty court, and at the same time, he also asked his next move.
Zhang Cheng's expression became even more bitter. The confidence and pride when he first entered the hall was completely gone, and the whole person seemed to be on pins and needles, and could no longer sit still. Immediately, Zhang Cheng stood up, and said to the letter king Zhao Zhen, "If this is the case, then the villain will send someone to deliver the letter. The villain bid farewell."
The letter king Zhao Zhen smiled more and more happily, Dang Even nodded and said: "It should be. It should be. Sir, just go."
Zhang Cheng couldn't stand for a moment in the gazes of Fu Yan around him. After a salute, he turned around and left. As soon as Zhang Cheng left, there was a huge burst of laughter in the entire hall, and all the monarchs and ministers leaned forward and backward with laughter, it was so lively.
The next thing was naturally simple. One day later, after receiving news from Linjiang Army City and Linjiang Army, Zhang Cheng once again came to the door to see the letter king Zhao Zhen. In order to maintain the official status of the adults, the military jurisdiction of Linjiang Military City and Linjiang Army area was transferred to Xinwang Zhaozhen in exchange for Xinwang Zhaozhen to enter the Linjiang Army. Moreover, they reported to the court and rewarded the fake "Zhao Yan".
This time, Wang Zhaozhen did not find any excuses to refuse, and agreed on the spot. At the same time, the military leader of Linjiang Military City was appointed to Cui Hu, and the management of the surrounding area of Linjiang Army was handed over to Pang Zheng. Taking the two of them as the leaders, they made it clear that they would use force to deter a group of officials headed by the governor Zhang Ling. In addition, the letter king Zhao Zhen also sent Qian Wenguang to assist them. Although Qian Wenguang is not as good as Ji Qianqian and Fu Xuan, but he wins more calmly, and the letter king Zhao Zhen will draw more from Wugong Mountain. The manpower came to assist them three.
Of course, Fuzhou is not just the Linjiang Military City and the surrounding areas of Linjiang Army. Linchuan and other counties in Fuzhou are still under the control of the governor Zhang Ling. Now the governor Zhang Ling has taken a step back, and Xin Wang Zhao Zhen also does not want to force people. Too much. If it is true that the governor Zhang Ling will jump over the wall in a hurry and fight with the letter king Zhao Zhen, then it will only let the other rebels pick up the bargain.
After completing this task, Zhang Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and ran back to the Linjiang Army that day. He didn't want to stay with Xinwang Zhao Zhen and other people anymore, or else he would have to get mad. Although Xin Wang Zhao Zhen had already successfully won the Linjiang Army, he did not intend to withdraw his troops back to Wugong Mountain. After making a little preparation for the water village in the south of Lingjiang Jun, 5,000 people were left for Wang Zongshi to continue building the water village, while the king of Xin Zhao Zhen continued to march along the Yangtze River towards Linjiang Military City. The letter king Zhao Zhen wanted to personally send Cui Hu to Linjiang Army City and Linjiang Army to take office. The purpose, of course, is to deter the local officials and prominent families in Linjiang Military City, so as not to believe that Wang Zhao Zhen will leave, and they will do ghosts again.
As for Cui Hu and Pang Zheng, when Xin Wang Zhao Zhen and Governor Zhang Ling reached an agreement, the two had already completed the task assigned to them by Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, and returned from Cha Ling with the smell of blood.
The task given to them by the letter king Zhao Zhen this time is to teach the Shanyue barbarians in several counties and counties around Chaling, and Cui Hu and Pang Zheng, who are very familiar with this area, completed this task perfectly. Half of the hundreds of mountain barbarian cottages around Chaling were destroyed by the two of them. Nearly 3,000 people were killed. Although the Shanyue barbarian warriors are notoriously good at fighting, they are no opponents at all when compared to the Shimen Army, which is well-equipped and has received strict military training.
This time, Cui Hu and Pang Zheng gave the Shanyue barbarian a taste of offending the believing king Zhao Zhen. There were no fewer than 30 Shanyue barbarian clans who had to leave their homes and left the land where they had lived for generations. The remaining Shanyue barbarian clans also surrendered to Cui Hu and Pang Zheng one after another, for fear that if one step later, they will be annihilated by this fierce army. But the only pity is that the mastermind of the last time besieging the mountain village was the patriarch of the Xiong clan. Before his cottage was breached, he had escaped and disappeared.
After Cui Hu and Pang Zheng returned to the team, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen led the Shimen Army and marched eastward along the Yangtze River, heading towards Linjiang City.
Just when the letter king Zhao Zhenshunshun was taking over Linjiang City, in the officers and soldiers not far from Linjiang, the leader of Liu Guang belonged to Liu Guangyijun, and he was also in full swing in Nanchang.
Since occupying Gao'an, Chief Liu Guang simply asked people to take all his wives and children from his hometown and attacked the officers and soldiers wholeheartedly. The facts have proved that the decision of Chief Liu Guang is extremely correct. Compared with Liu Guangyi's Liu Guangyijun, Jiang Bo's official army is obviously inferior to that of Liu Guangyi.
Liu Guangyi's army under the head of Liu Guang has fought with him for many years. Even if it is not invincible in the world, it can be called an army of hundreds of battles. On the other hand, Jiang Bo’s army was the opposite. Under the command of an incompetent officer like Jiang Bo, he met Jin Bing and fled. These officers and soldiers had not been on the battlefield for many years and had low fighting quality. They were completely at a disadvantage in the battle with the leader of Liu Guang. .
So in less than half a month, Chief Liu Guang had defeated thousands of officers and soldiers and occupied a large area. Only Jing'an City and Nanchang City, the capital of Hongzhou, are still under Jiang Bo's control. Jiang Bo was also frightened by the fierce attack of Liu Guangda's army, and he simply recalled all the remaining officers and soldiers to Nanchang City, wanting to rely on the strong defense of Nanchang City to defend him.
Without the defenders, Jing'an City would naturally not be able to withstand the attack of Chief Liu Guang. In an instant, Chief Liu Guang completed the capture of all the towns except Nanchang for officers and soldiers.
"Huh, this old man Jiang Bo is too timid." On the head of Jing'an City that was just captured, a 25-year-old young general was holding a spear upside down and kicking with a dissatisfied face. The female wall above the city.
"Since Linjiang Military City came, I haven't fought a good battle." Don't look at this warrior's youth, but he looks majestic.
And beside the young general, there was a young general who was about the same age as him. This young man was as white as jade and was thin. He didn't look like a general, but he looked like a weak scholar. Seeing that his companion was losing his temper, he smiled slightly and said, "Liu Tong. Don't underestimate Jiang Bo. In fact, his decision is quite correct. If he divides his troops and garrisons the cities as before, he will be an officer of the army. How can the strength be compared with our army? Only according to the defense of Nanchang, the city has a good chance of winning."
Hearing his comrade's persuasion, the young general stopped trampling on the female wall, wrinkled his nose, and said, "Huh! Even so, Jiang Popif couldn't find any waves when he measured it. Zhao Guang. You. Believe it or not? It won't take three days. I will be able to break Nanchang City."
"Hahahaha!" The handsome general did not raise any objections this time. Instead, he laughed and nodded and said, "I believe, of course I believe. Among these officers and soldiers, who is your Liu Tong opponent? With the addition of the uncle’s account, the rebel soldiers were extremely brave and broke through Nanchang, which is just around the corner."
"Given the young master, the main public issued an order to let the young master and General Zhao lead the troops to Nanchang to join forces." A soldier walked quickly behind the two and shouted with his fists.
Hearing these words, Liu Tong's eyes lit up immediately, and he laughed and said, "Okay! It's finally started, Brother Zhao Guang, let's go. I will be the first to attack the head of Nanchang City. Win Nanchang for my father and draw a successful end to the victory of my Liu Family and the Rebels."
This young general is no one else, but the eldest son of the leader Liu Guang, named Liu Tong. The white-faced general next to him is Liu Tong's friend, and it is said that he is Zhao Guang who is a sideline of the royal family.
Jing'an City is not far from Nanchang. It only took less than a day. Liu Tong and Zhao Guang rushed to Nanchang City with troops and horses to join Liu Guang’s army. By the time Liu Tong and Zhao Guang arrived, the army led by Liu Guang had already surrounded Nanchang. Now Liu Guang’s army is more than the original five thousand soldiers and horses.
Since the start of the attack on Jiang Bo, Chief Liu Guang has been recruiting soldiers and recruits, and now the total strength of Chief Liu Guang has reached more than 20,000. Although these are still soldiers of the new army, under the training of Huizhong and other veterans, their combat effectiveness is increasing day by day. What is lacking now is combat experience.
With the sound of the war drums, Chief Liu Guang brought Liu Tong, Zhao Guang and Huizhong out of the list, while Guangzongshan, Pang Yunshan and Chao Guang were guarded outside the other three gates. Chief Liu Guang looked at the crowd gradually gathering on the opposite city. It was obvious that Jiang Bo had already reached the city. The corner of Liu Guang's mouth turned slightly and he said to everyone, "Go, let's go and say hello to that Jiang Bo Piff. "
As soon as Chief Liu Guang said these words, Liu Tong was the most excited. This guy was the most adept at fighting. He immediately shouted at Chief Liu Guang: "Father. Let me rush to the city head and take that. Bring Jiang Bo's head back to you."
"Stupid!" Hearing Liu Tong's unscrupulous statement, Leader Liu Guang couldn't help but yelled, but from the smile on his face, you can see that Leader Liu Guang is very proud of his eldest son. And satisfaction. Pointing to Liu Tong's nose, he cursed: "You stinky boy who doesn't grow up. You really think you are invincible in the world. You dare to rush to the top of the city by yourself? Just stay with me."
