Blind Wang naturally knew that General Sun Chengli and Military Advisor Luo Zhixue were looking at him. Not only the two of them, but Lin Dongsheng and three others were also looking at him.
Now he is actually very confused in his heart!
To be honest, he actually had some ideas about the position under Sun Chengli. Now everyone knows that Sun Chengli has two confidants. One is the military adviser Luo Zhixue, who is responsible for the camp's supplies and other matters, and holds the supplies of the camp.
Once again, it’s him, Wang Xiazi. Wang Xiazi has been Sun Chengli’s personal soldier for a long time, and now he serves as a sentinel and commander of the personal army. Although his sentry officer has no real power on weekdays, he is more of a personal soldier of Sun Chengli. Characters like a soldier captain.
However, he still claims to be Sun Lili's number one confidant.
In addition, he himself felt that he was a sentry officer in the pro-army, and he also directly served as the commander of a cavalry commander. Most of the other five commanders in the pro-army had a good relationship with him.
Once Sun Chengli dies of illness, not to mention other things, but there is still a high possibility of taking over the pro-military army.
Using pro-military forces as a deterrent, it would be easier to force Lin Dongsheng, Wang Dazhuang, and Xu He.
With these forces present, the success rate of Hou Hou and Luo Zhixue competing for the leadership position will be much higher.
However, the reason why he was entangled and did not make a complete decision was because Sun Chengli had talked to him in private before when he returned to Sanshui Village.
Sun Chengli said very straightforwardly: "I know you have ideas, but don't think about it. You are good at rushing into battle. You can lead troops with dozens of people, but you are far from being the leader of hundreds of people!" "
"But if you directly become a leader and take care of the food, drink, sleep, and sleep of hundreds of people, you also have to lead troops to fight, and you also have to farm and build weapons, even if you drain all your brains, it won't be enough..."
"I'm afraid that letting you take the position of leader will harm you, as well as the sixty old brothers under my command."
"Luo Zhixue is not an ordinary person. I have seen a lot of scholars in my travels, but I have never seen anyone like him. He can lead troops to fight, cultivate land, and know how to manage camp supplies. I don't even know A person with such a big brain will definitely be able to accomplish great things. If you follow him, you will benefit from it in the future."
"These hundreds of people were brought out by me through hard work. Even if I am going to die, I still want you to develop and grow in the future. Let people know that I am the second boss of Baoxiang Camp, Luo Zhixue This kid is my subordinate!"
What Sun Chengcheng said before directly interrupted his thoughts!
Because Blind Wang knew that Sun Chengli would not only say this to him, but also to the other five cavalry commanders, and to Lin Dongsheng and the others.
Blind Wang has no chance at all!
Although Wang Xiazi was a little unwilling, but it didn't matter, he couldn't refuse directly, and then led others to fight Luo Zhixue.
The officers and soldiers outside are watching. If they start fighting first, whether Wang Xiazi wins or Luo Zhixue wins, they will suffer a lot of losses, and it will be more difficult to resist the officers and soldiers in the future.
As for leaving Funiu Mountain with your confidants and starting your own business...
To be honest, his prestige and qualifications are not that high. If he really wants to set up his own business, except for a few of his confidants, there are probably not many people who are really willing to follow him.
Everyone is not stupid. It is one thing to support you, Wang Xiazi, in your struggle for power in Funiu Mountain, but it is another thing to follow you to other places and worry about starvation and cold.
Therefore, despite his reluctance, Wang Xiazi finally made the wisest choice.
It is better to follow Luo Zhixue and become a sentry officer or something like a leader than to stupidly run out with a few subordinates and become a bandit...
At this time, Blind Wang also put on a serious look and said to Sun Lili: "I listen to the general!"
As he spoke, he turned his head and nodded slightly to Luo Zhixue, but did not speak.
Sun Chengli was still alive at this time, so it was impossible for him to show his loyalty to Luo Zhixue in front of Sun Chengli.
Under the personal watch of Sun Chengli, Wang Xiazi and others recognized and expressed their support for Luo Zhixue to be the master of the country in the future.
That night, when they held a military meeting to discuss how to deal with the incoming Ming army, although Sun Chengli was still lying down in name, he was in charge. In fact, Sun Chengli only said a few words casually at the beginning and end, and the rest of the time. Luo Zhixue supported the meeting.
The next day, other captains, cavalry commanders and other mid-level officers were called in for a meeting, also to confirm Luo Zhixue's status, and so that Luo Zhixue could now naturally and temporarily replace Sun Lili in handling many affairs.
After all, Sun Chengli was seriously ill and couldn't even get out of bed. He was out of breath when talking. He was in very bad spirits and couldn't handle many affairs at all.
After Sun Chengli's personal support, Luo Zhixue officially took over all the power of the Funiu Mountain Baoxiang Camp.
Well, I'm an agent for the time being.
But this agency did not last for a few days. Five days after Sun Chengli arrived in Songshan Village, when traces of the Ming army sentry were discovered, Sun Chengli died of illness.
Although Sun Chengli did not die directly in the fighting on the battlefield, he was still considered to have died on the Songshan front line. To a certain extent, he was considered to have died on the battlefield.
Luo Zhixue personally sent Sun Chengcheng off for the last time, and after watching Sun Chengcheng finally close his eyes, Luo Zhixue sighed.
In the past few days, Luo Zhixue listened to Sun Chengli wailing in pain almost every day. When he was extremely uncomfortable, Sun Chengli even struggled to commit suicide with a knife. Fortunately, he was stopped by Blind Man Wang.
Now, death has been a relief for Sun Chengli.
Later, Luo Zhixue led people to hold a simple funeral for Sun Chengli. According to Sun Chengli's instructions, he was buried directly in Songshan and marked.
If conditions permit in the future, Luo Zhixue will still move his grave back to his hometown in Yulin according to Sun Chengli's instructions.
After Sun Chengcheng's funeral, Luo Zhixue and others had no time to lament the ruthlessness of fate and the shortness of life, so they directly plunged into intense preparations for war.
because……
The Ming army has appeared!
As soon as Luo Zhixue took office and became the general of the Funiu Mountain Baoxiang Camp, he faced the crisis of the main Ming army attacking!
The day before yesterday, the scouts of Baoxiang Camp had actually discovered the forward scouts of the Ming army. The scouts of the two sides had secretly fought several times, causing casualties on each other. Moreover, the scouts of Baoxiang Camp were always there. They all kept the other party's sentinels out of Songshan.
This prevents the other party's sentry from finding out one's true and false situation.
After two days of confrontation between sentinels, Huang Guangmao on the other side, no matter how stupid he was, knew that there would definitely be traitors in the Songshan area.
However, Huang Guangmao still didn't know how many rebels there were in Songshan and what their combat strength was.
Because the sentries under their command had no idea what was going on over there in Songshan. They just knew that there were rebels there, but they had no idea how many there were, what their names were, and who the leader was.
Moreover, Huang Guangmao had never been able to obtain any information from Fei Bingqing's department before.
The last time he received information about Fei Bingqing's headquarters was many days ago. What he learned at that time was that Fei Bingqing was continuing to head north towards the hinterland of Funiu Mountain.
Later, Fei Bingqing's troops were ambushed in Songshan, and the entire army was destroyed.
Even if a few scattered people escaped, they could not run all the way to Huang Guangmao's army and tell him the situation.
So now Huang Guangmao actually doesn't know that Fei Bingqing's entire army has been destroyed in Songshan.
I don't know whether I know, but whether it's intuition or rational judgment, Huang Guangmao can tell with 80% to 90% certainty that something must have happened to Fei Bingqing's department, and it happened in the hinterland of Funiu Mountain.
So he led his troops all the way to the hinterland of Funiu Mountain, and finally found traces of the bandit army here in Songshan.
The sentinels sent to Songshan for two consecutive days were damaged, and the sentinels who luckily escaped also said that they were ambushed by bandits in Songshan.
"Judging from the confrontation between the sentinels, there are probably a lot of Songshan thieves. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to send so many sentries to monitor them one by one and expel our sentries. But there won't be too many. If the opponent has enough troops, , then we can set up sentries further away, and our sentinels will not be able to reach Songshan."
Huang Guangmao arrived to the south of Songshan. While looking at Songshan not far away, he said: "I guess they don't want us to find out the truth and want to set up an ambush."
Next to him, Wang Jida was still sitting in the sedan. Wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket, he seemed to be completely trapped in the sedan, with only his head wearing a hat exposed.
After rolling his little eyes at Huang Guangmao for a few times, Wang Jida said: "So, there should be hundreds of thieves in front of us?"
When he said that, he still looked forward to it!
He followed Huang Guangmao and ran into Funiu Mountain. It was still a very cold day. At first, he wanted to get some food and property, and also get some mountain people's heads to pose as bandits and use them as military honors. But now, he has other ideas. .
Another group of hundreds of thieves appeared in Funiu Mountain. This is a good thing!
While getting food and property, he could also get the real heads of hundreds of thieves, so he no longer had to fool people with the young heads of mountain people.
Being able to make money and perform meritorious deeds is a rare good thing.
Huang Guangmao naturally knew why Wang Jida asked. When he asked how many people there were in the bandit army, he was not concerned about how big it was, but about how many bandit heads he could get.
When Wang Jida was chatting a few days ago, he boasted to him that he had a strong relationship with his superiors and could get along with the guard Tan Zhengling.
If nothing else, this person wants to make a lot of money, get some thieves' heads and send them to him to work for a while and then get promoted.
Wang Jida is ambitious, so Huang Guangmao will not stand in his way.
Anyway, for killing the bandit, Wang Jida, as a civil servant, can certainly get credit by supervising the army and supervising the war, but as the actual commander, his credit is also indispensable.
Therefore, Huang Guangmao was quite interested in exterminating the bandits in the Songshan Mountains ahead. Even with some manipulation, he could directly regard these people as the elite bandits who had fled westward from Funiu Mountain before.
After all, they were all thieves who were suppressing the Funiu Mountains. Who dares to say that Huang Guangmao's suppression of loose bandits was just ordinary thieves, not the elite bandit army that had previously been entrenched in Songshan.
But Huang Guangmao didn't know yet that the elite bandit army that he had chased all the way and almost caught up with the Lu family ran away from them and ran back to Funiu Mountain, and even returned to Funiu Mountain earlier than them.
The stray thieves in the Songshan Mountains ahead were the same thieves he had been chasing all the way!
