"There are a few good people who can go up the mountain to become bandits!"
"But then again, if they hadn't been so ruthless, they wouldn't have dared to kill people with knives!"
"You can't recruit some farmers to work in the fields and go to the battlefield with hoes, so you don't have to worry too much. Just train them slowly. Then..."
As Dang Shousu spoke, he glanced at the people beside him and saw that they were all his and Liu Fangliang's personal guards, so he whispered: "Brother Mingyuan, you can't do this!"
"You must know that since the death of Brother Li Yan, Your Majesty has... Hey, Brother Li Yan sacrificed the lives of his entire family for this plan. If we can't..."
"I don't think this is what brother Li Yan meant!"
Liu Fangliang interrupted Dang Shousu's words with some sadness, and said thoughtfully: "Do you remember that after the failure of the siege of Beijing, the Li Yan brothers have always advocated returning to Shaanxi, stabilizing the internal affairs, and then waiting for an opportunity to send troops."
"Later on, the Li Yan brothers did not agree with the attack on Datong. They were forced to lead the army because of the general trend. Not only did they not succeed, but Jierhalang took advantage of it!"
"As for the so-called defeat plan this time, I think Brother Li Yan is not trying to attack the capital, but wants your Majesty to regain Chang'an. Only in this way can we be invincible!"
When Dang Shousu heard this, he said with some confusion: "What news did you hear?"
Liu Fangliang shook his head and said, "No!"
"But before brother Li Yan was killed, I met him once. He didn't say anything at that time, but was a little depressed. I never thought that that meeting would be our eternal farewell!"
"I still can't understand how disappointed and helpless a man like him, who is confident, wise, and loves his wife and children, must be to make such a cruel... plan!"
As Liu Fangliang spoke, a teardrop slipped from the corner of his eye inadvertently.
After he noticed it, he quickly turned his head and wiped it away with his sleeve.
Although Dang Shousu saw all this, he pretended not to know and advised: "Brother Mingyuan, if you really miss him, help him fulfill his last wish!"
"Overthrow this court that is harming the people and let the people live a good life. This way, we will not be in vain with his brother!"
Liu Fangliang had just calmed down, but after hearing Dang Shousu's words, his heart was agitated again.
He was silent for a while and said in a low voice: "I thought so too, but now it seems that it is no longer possible."
"If what I have predicted is correct, His Majesty must be in trouble with the Communists in Shaanxi. Whether our Dashun flag can be saved by then will have to be decided. It is difficult to overthrow the Ming court..."
"Be careful, Brother Mingyuan!"
Dang Shousu interrupted Liu Fangliang's words in time, looked around again, and saw that all the guards had dispersed and no one was approaching, so he persuaded in a low voice: "Brother Mingyuan, don't be too pessimistic!"
"If your majesty had no confidence, he would never have allowed Xiao Zhanghou to come with him. Even if there were changes in Chang'an, your majesty would not be able to escape for a while, but the governor of Zuo (Liu Zongmin) has tens of thousands of people under his command in the Yulin area, and most of them are our old brothers. , will definitely lead the army to help!"
Liu Fangliang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to come either!"
"can not come?"
Dang Shousu looked at Liu Fangliang in surprise and said, "What on earth did you hear?"
Liu Fangliang still shook his head and said, "I haven't heard anything!"
"But I know Li Mou's character. He was already dissatisfied before, and it was only because of brother Li Yan that he kept it secret."
"But after Brother Li Yan died last time, he still acted according to orders. It seems that Brother Li Yan had an explanation for him."
"If the Li Yan brothers really want to seize Beijing, then Li Mou should have arrived by now. However, it has been more than a month and the troops from Yulin and other places have not yet arrived. There should be a problem on Li Mou's side."
Dang Shousu was shocked when he heard this, and then he forced himself to be calm and said: "It shouldn't be possible. You should know that Li Mou just killed Gong Yonggu not long ago. He has no choice but to fight against the Ming court!"
"Could it be that Gao Jie and others caused too much trouble in Shaanxi and His Majesty asked them to go south to put down the rebellion?"
Liu Fangliang sneered: "Lin from Gansu
Cheng Yang, He Lan and others have led 20,000 elite troops to Shaanxi. Together with our original troops, there are more than 60,000 troops. It is more than enough to deal with Gao Jie and others, so there is no need to transfer Li Mou south. "
"And you said that Gao Jie has many soldiers and horses. I suspect that Gao Jie has withdrawn from Shaanxi..."
"Report——"
Before Liu Fangliang finished speaking, he saw a sentry horse galloping from behind.
Upon seeing this, Liu Fangliang signaled his guards to bring him over.
The sentry rider hurriedly turned over and dismounted, panting and saying: "Heng Cihou, news just came from behind that Huang De led his army to sneak attack on our army's grain and grass camp!"
Liu Fangliang heard the report and asked: "Is it confirmed that it is Huang Degong? Do you know how many troops he brought?"
The sentry rider said: "Huang Degong rushed to the front, many people saw it!"
"As for how many soldiers and horses there are, we can't confirm for the moment. I just know that there are soldiers all over the mountains and plains. It's very..."
"Nonsense!"
Liu Fangliang was dissatisfied and shouted down the sentry horse, and angrily said: "Huang Degong only has thousands of men, so how can he say that they are all over the mountains and plains? It is obviously because you are afraid of fighting..."
"Cihou, let me lead the troops to have a look!"
The Party Shou knew that Liu Fangliang was angry and hurriedly interrupted him.
Liu Fangdian nodded and said, "That's fine. I have already arranged an ambush of two thousand troops at critical points. Huang Degong will definitely not be able to gain advantage by stealing the camp."
"After you defeat him, you will lead your army to Bazhou..."
"You want to attack the city?"
Dang Shousu looked at Liu Fangliang with a surprised look on his face.
A fierce look flashed across Liu Fangliang's face, and he said resolutely: "Since Chongzhen is here, I will fight to the death, if..."
"good!"
Dang Shousu was afraid that Liu Fangliang would say something unlucky, so he shouted loudly: "I will accompany you to capture Chongzhen!"
When Liu Fangliang heard this, a smile appeared on his determined face, and then he laughed and said, "Okay, capture Chongzhen alive!"
Dang Shousu also laughed for a while, and then quickly galloped back with his troops.
"Capture Chongzhen alive!"
Liu Fangliang looked at Dang Shousu's back and murmured sadly. Then an inexplicable surge of pride surged onto his face and he shouted: "Capture Chongzhen alive!"
When the soldiers heard this, they also shouted in unison.
For a time, the sound was so loud that even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was fleeing, heard it.
With a contemptuous smile on his lips, he slowly stopped his horse and said to the bodyguard on the side: "Is Huang Wushan following you?"
The guard glanced back and said, "Not yet!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Go and send the order, let him pretend to be an ambush, and after a counterattack, lead the army to retreat. We will wait for him in Gu County!"
After receiving the order, the bodyguard galloped away.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the back in silence for a while, then shouted to the side: "Come out!"
As he finished speaking, Brother Yang was seen walking over from the darkness with more than ten riders.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Brother Yang and ordered: "You stay here for a while. If Huang Wushan is fine, you can lead your army to meet Uncle Jingnan, and then rush to Bazhou."
"Remember, even though you only have three thousand soldiers and horses, it takes five days to conquer the province!"
After Brother Yang bowed in agreement, he rode towards the darkness.
Zhu Yuanzhang waited for Brother Yang and his party to hide their whereabouts, looked back, and then galloped towards Gu County.
