Gao Zhang curled his lips in disgust, even afraid of his own kind smile, forget it, don't tease him.
He turned around and walked to Liu Fa's side, and began to communicate in depth with this rising star of the Song Dynasty.
General Liu Fa's character is actually not that bad, but he has fought his way to his current position with his undoubted military exploits as a student.
It is understandable that Gao Zhang is a bit arrogant about his talents. As a person with high emotional intelligence, Gao Zhang was able to deal with the arrogant and domineering Cai Laoliu who had no talent or knowledge.
What's more, this one was baptized by Gao Zhang's deliberate words, his graceful demeanor, and his sincere tone.
Liu Fa, who was deeply moved by his behavior and actions after the war, had a great impression of Gao Zhang.
As for Gao Zhang's good brother Liu Qi, he was leading half of the imperial cavalry heading south.
Gao Zhang received news from Commander Li before the war that he was leading Hangzhou state and rural soldiers in Wujiang County.
As for Gao Zhang, he learned from the captured generals that Zhu Meng had sent a small reinforcement force to Wujiang County.
In this case, Gao Zhang naturally could not just watch Commander Li in danger.
Presumably at this moment, Liu Qi's 1,500 cavalrymen, who were speeding all the way, should have arrived near Wujiang County to meet up with Commander Li.
Gao Zhang believed that Liu Qi and Commander Li should be able to deal with the reinforcements sent by Zhu Mon, but he just didn't know if they could capture Wujiang County. If they could recapture Wujiang County.
Then Zhu Meng could either defend to the death or flee towards the coast.
But the problem is that Zhu's smuggling fleet had already fallen into his hands at the beginning of the war.
"General Liu, in your opinion, will Zhu Meng flee Suzhou, or will he fight stubbornly?"
After Gao Zhang chatted with Liu Fa for a while, he couldn't help but ask the question that concerned him most.
"The general thought that since the Zhu family has been operating in Suzhou for many years, it would be difficult to make a decision all of a sudden."
"Unless they know that stubborn resistance will not work, I'm afraid they will abandon Suzhou and flee to the coast."
Gao Zhang was convinced by this and nodded. Liu Fa's analysis was very reasonable.
However, it is definitely impossible for Xiuzhou to win with the bravery in Fang La's hands.
Although Commander Li received reinforcements led by Liu Qi, he still lacked siege weapons. It would not be easy to conquer Wujiang County in one fell swoop.
As for Suzhou City, Gao Zhang's brain was not broken. With the few troops in his hands, it was naturally impossible to attack by force.
Thinking of this, Gao Zhang couldn't help but cast his eyes on those banners again. Hope these things.
It can arouse the desire for life in the hearts of those young men in Suzhou who were forcibly recruited by Zhu Meng, as well as the hatred for Zhu's father and son.
There were imperial troops outside, and Suzhou people inside who were dissatisfied with Zhu Meng.
If Zhu Meng really wants to defend Suzhou City, it doesn't matter.
At worst, I'll spend some time, collect several thousand kilograms of gunpowder, and pile it under the city wall to see what you do.

Commander Li's eyes widened in disbelief. What did he see? In the afterglow, he saw a cavalry of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty holding a banner high, already appearing in front of him.
The leading general is a rather tall and heroic young man.
He brought 1,500 imperial cavalry, and he also brought exciting news.
That is, the traitor Zhu Meng led an army of 30,000 men and headed north. However, Gao Zhang, the governor of Xuanfu, led his troops to defeat Zhu's rebels in Nawangting Town.
More than 5,000 enemies have been captured, and they are continuing to march towards Suzhou.
Originally, Commander Li, who was cautious in using troops, had to retreat voluntarily because troops and horses came to Wujiang to help, but now Liu Qi led his army to help, and he received news of a great victory from the north.
Moreover, Liu Qi also told Commander Li that Fang La, who had dealt with him, had already led his army to fight the Zhu rebels outside Xiuzhou City and defeated their opponents.
This made Commander Li couldn't help but burn up his fighting spirit, and summoned his generals to discuss with Liu Qi to see how to deal with Wujiang County.
This Wujiang County is not a big city like Suzhou. If you work hard, it might be possible to win it. Wujiang County, which is dependent on Suzhou, will be lost.
Then Suzhou and Xiuzhou are cut off.
After a whole night's rest, the next day, Commander Li sent dozens of elites disguised as private salt dealers, bribed the soldiers guarding the city gate and opened the gate of Wujiang County.
The two sides began to fight fiercely near the city gate, and the cavalry, which had already been ambushing not far outside the city, immediately attacked and killed Wujiang County.
They captured the north gate of Wujiang County simply and neatly. Except for a few of Zhu's rebels who resisted stubbornly and were killed on the spot, most of the rest surrendered.
Immediately after taking Wujiang County, Commander Li left two thousand rural soldiers and three hundred elites to guard it.
He led the remaining troops and headed north together with Liu Qi.

It was not until near noon that Zhu Meng received the news that the imperial army that had defeated him had appeared outside Suzhou City.
When Zhu Meng received the news and hurriedly climbed onto the city wall, Suzhou City was already surrounded by imperial officers and soldiers.
Although the opponent's troops were not large, they actually dared to divide their troops into three groups and surrounded the west, north and south gates of Suzhou City.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Meng was really moved and wanted to go down and do it.
I can't defeat more than 10,000 imperial officers and soldiers, a quarter, four or five thousand people?
But after all, it was just a thought. After all, the thousands of cavalry officers and soldiers of the imperial court were not just decorations.
The super high mobility allows Zhu Meng to use the rat weapon.
However, after the imperial officers and soldiers established their positions outside the city, they began to build the camp and fixed those eye-catching banners on the wall of Saipanzhai in the direction of Suzhou City.
Zhu Meng and the rebel soldiers, who had been on top of the city and watched warily the movements of the imperial officers and soldiers below the city, were all dumbfounded.
Zhu Meng looked straight at those banners. The eye-catching banners were still so clear even from a distance of about 100 meters.
The words above were like bloody knives piercing Zhu Meng's sight.
It sent chills down his spine, and the rebel generals around him also had strange expressions on their faces.
Especially those generals who were born as heroes in the world, they all looked thoughtfully at Zhu Meng, the king of Wu, who had an extremely ugly face.
The young men above the city who had been forcibly recruited by Zhu Meng began to feel excited.
