Of course, this matter was told to Liu Yue. When the battle was about to begin, he suddenly struck a knife from behind the thief, and the effect was absolutely great. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen was not particularly worried about Chen Qiyu.
The generals below couldn't help but feel very happy after hearing this. They didn't expect that there would be an insider among the bandits. Once the battle started, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort? Your Majesty, this is awesome!
As a Mizhi man, He Renlong naturally knew that Liu Guoneng was going to break into the sky, and he was even more surprised: the emperor actually believed in Liu Guoneng so much, and Liu Guoneng could also be an undercover agent, secretly cooperating with the government and the army. He had to sigh, it seemed that the emperor's wisdom and martial arts had already affected the bandits.
As a result, these general soldiers were busy perfecting the battle plan, and finally Emperor Chongzhen made the decision to set off early the next morning.
When it was just dawn that day, the army finished their breakfast and set off. About eight thousand mounted infantry troops gave up their war horses and equipped them with the most elite cavalry officers. Emperor Chongzhen did not stay in the infantry because he had to receive the battle situation on the battlefield ahead in real time and possibly revise the battle plan. In terms of safety, he didn't go up to attack, and there were nearly 20,000 cavalry around him, so it was safe enough.
It's just that during the day, there are speed requirements. But Emperor Chongzhen has been riding horses since he left the capital. About three months have passed, and he can be considered a master of riding horses.
At the same time, at first light, large groups of bandits also headed for Wollongong. Zuo Liangyu personally led the army, while his son Zuo Mengeng stayed outside Nanyang City. Of course, he was worried about the bandit leaders, so he kept them by his side to watch.
Seeing the bandit teams from all walks of life obediently obeying orders, Zuo Liangyu was still very proud and talked a little more. He smiled and said to the bandit leaders around him: "It's really unpredictable. One day, this commander will actually do it." I will learn from you and lead the troops to ambush the imperial army!"
The bandit leaders ignored him, making the scene a little cold.
When his general Zhang Yong saw it, he pretended to be angry and replied: "This is not because of the cowardly king and traitorous officials in the court. If they hadn't wanted to attack the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief wouldn't have done this!"
Zuo Liangyu smiled and nodded, turned to look at Zhang Xianzhong and asked, "How about it? Aren't you very experienced in ambushes? Tell me, can we defeat the Governor's men this time?"
Or maybe he is used to it. For the imperial court, he is not like a bandit who speaks like a dog official. He just calls the official title more often.
Zhang Xianzhong sneered slightly, but still ignored him, not even bothering to look at him.
Zuo Liangyu's mood didn't seem to be affected. He turned to look at Luo Rucai and said, "I'm going to follow the way you ambush me before and let Zhang Yong fake defeat and lure them into Wollongong. Is that okay?"
Luo Rucai also sneered, turned her head and turned the back of her head towards him.
Zuo Liangyu saw it and turned to look at Li Zicheng, but no one paid attention to him either. At this time, he finally stopped smiling and said coldly: "Give me the order, if I find that there are people from all walks of life who are not working hard, I will send the ears, noses, arms, etc. of everyone here to give them a wake-up call. . I would like to see if there is anyone who wants to rebel, who has hidden intentions, and wants to seize power and rebel against their leader!"
When his bodyguard heard this, he immediately agreed, turned around and left.
After hearing this, these bandit leaders turned to glare at Zuo Liangyu, but they were helpless.
After Zuo Liangyu finished his instructions, he turned to look at Liu Guoneng, smiled again and said: "You are different from them. Continue to serve me well. When you succeed, I will definitely give you a share of glory and wealth." !”
When Liu Guoneng heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and responded quickly: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your support. The younger one will definitely live up to the Commander-in-Chief's expectations. The Commander-in-Chief asked the younger one to go east, but the younger one did not dare to go west. The Commander-in-Chief asked the younger one to go west. The little one will never dare to go east!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Prime Minister Hui Deng suddenly yell angrily: "Chuang Taotian, you fucking scum, eating everything inside and outside!"
"I didn't expect you to work wholeheartedly for the left thieves. You will definitely die in a bad way in the future!" Zhang Xianzhong also shouted sharply.
It can be seen that they are obviously more angry towards Liu Guoneng, and they can't help but angrily rebuke him.
After hearing this, Liu Guoneng just smiled coldly and said: "People go to high places and water flows to low places. I have seen the commander's ability, so naturally I have to follow him. Are you still a bunch of rabble like you? You It won’t end well!”
Hearing this, Zuo Liangyu felt very good. He laughed immediately and said to Liu Guoneng: "From now on, you don't want to be a little kid. It doesn't matter if you don't want the tricks of thieves. We are serious people." You want to call yourself the last general of the army of the past, do you understand?"
"I understand, the commander-in-chief has taught me the lesson, and I will definitely change it!" Upon hearing this, Liu Guoneng immediately pretended to be taught, and quickly replied, making the bandit leaders next to him feel very disgusted.
If they had not believed Liu Guoneng, they would not have regarded Zuo Liangyu as one of their group. Although in fact Zuo Liangyu did rebel, he was obviously not on the same path as them.
They finally fell into the hands of Zuo Liangyu. Speaking of which, Liu Guoneng had a share of the credit. Therefore, at this time, they also hated Liu Guoneng very much.
As the bandit leader, they did not believe that Zuo Liangyu would let them go.
If he waits until that day, he really can completely annex their men, it is estimated that Zuo Liangyu will kill them by then. They also know this very well.
Liu Guoneng was shameless and it seemed useless to scold him. Luo Rucai suddenly scolded Li Zicheng again: "You are not a good person either. We have been brothers for many years and you are planning to annex us. If you hadn't done such a thing, We will not fall into the hands of left thieves!"
In fact, in the original history, he was killed by Li Zicheng in a fierce battle and his subordinates were annexed.
Hearing his words, Zhang Xianzhong, Hui Dengxiang and others also turned their heads, stared at Li Zicheng and cursed.
When Zuo Liangyu saw it, he didn't stop him. Instead, he listened happily. Because the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit, he, the fisherman, is naturally proud.
Li Zicheng was silent at first, but after a while, he couldn't help it and began to retort: "Look at you, after so many years, you are still the same, your people are following you, there is no way out, it is wasted ”
"What?" When Luo Rucai heard this, he immediately cursed unconvinced, "Look down on us? Who was beaten by the imperial army until only eighteen riders were left and fled into Shangluo Mountain?"
After hearing this, Li Zicheng replied nonchalantly: "So what? When I came out of the mountain, I immediately swept through southern Shaanxi. When I arrived in Henan, I was invincible and the people came to join me one after another. Do you know why? Because I have already understood It will be useless to continue as before. You must win the hearts and minds of the people before you can win the world..."
When he said this, he immediately remembered Song Xiance's words, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, so he shut up and said nothing: Didn't he say that his destiny was to be the Eighteenth Son, the master of the artifact, but why was he now in this position? In Zuo Liangyu’s hands?
He didn't speak, but Luo Rucai continued to mock him: "People's support? People's support is useful? Hard fists are..."
Hearing this, Zuo Liangyu rarely interjected: "This is reasonable. It is only right if you have military power. As for the people, as long as you have soldiers, they will never dare to go east and west. In the future , I have taken over the world, and the people’s hearts will naturally be decided by me!”
Obviously, these people who know how to harm the people on a daily basis do not take the people seriously at all. Whether it is Luo Rucai and other bandits, or Zuo Liangyu and other original officers and soldiers, they all think this way.
Hearing Zuo Liangyu's words, the other bandit leaders couldn't help but feel regretful. They thought so too, but in the end they all fell into Zuo Liangyu's hands. Let alone the position of alliance leader, I don’t know what will happen to my own life. For a moment, they couldn't help but fell silent.
Zuo Liangyu was in a good mood. Looking at the endless team, he said to himself: "You are originally just a piece of loose sand, and you still have some little thoughts among each other. That's it, two hundred thousand people, you can even reach Nanyang." We can't attack for a long time. If I don't take action to integrate these 200,000 troops, I will really miss the opportunity!"
Speaking of this, he said with some complacency: "It is rare for the Ming Emperor to come out of the capital. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now it seems that there is God's will in the dark, and it is God who has given me this opportunity. When I defeat him, After the Governor came this way, the rest were the Yongwei camp coming from the direction of Luoyang. When I turn around, I will take the emperor to command the princes, haha, I believe it is time for a change of dynasty in this world!"
Hearing his pride, the other bandit leaders couldn't help but feel even more regretful. Anyway, no matter how proud Zuo Liangyu is, they will regret it.
Zuo Liangyu saw their expressions, and as the final winner, he was even more proud: "After all, I am from the army, so I know the strength of the soldiers and horses led by the Governor, and I know how to fight. Even if you all keep silent about this ambush, it will not be difficult for me to win this battle!"
The other bandit leaders still turned their heads, regardless of the proud Zuo Liangyu, but even if they no longer wanted to hear it, the sound would still reach their ears.
"The most important thing is not to give the governor's army a chance to march calmly, and not to allow him to send out troops at night to detect the surrounding military situation." Zuo Liangyu was obviously in a good mood and continued to preach, "And to do this, in fact, It’s also simple.”
Having said this, he turned to look at Zhang Yong and ordered: "You can go back to your army now, and bring back a piece of good news, saying that a section of the Nanyang city wall has been destroyed by artillery. It only takes one more day." , we will definitely be able to attack the city. You tell your men to stop the attack with all their heart, and don’t let the governor’s army to reinforce Nanyang City. This is a great achievement, and I will be rewarded heavily when you turn back!"
Zhang Yong's troops had already set off last night, but he still stayed with Zuo Liangyu. When he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he understood and quickly replied: "General, I obey!"
When Zuo Liangyu said this, Li Zicheng turned to look at him. This made him feel proud, and he continued to show off: "When the attack of the army led by the governor becomes urgent, you will withdraw your troops and pretend to be defeated. From Wollongong Let's go here. In this way, the Governor will be very anxious after capturing the defeated soldiers and finding out the news about Nanyang City. He will never pursue a steady attack. The biggest possibility is to follow the defeated army and drive the defeated army to attack the enemy at the foot of Nanyang City. , in this way, it is very possible to relieve the siege of Nanyang in one go."
Having said this, he looked at the other bandit leaders and said with a confident smile: "If this happens, I will definitely fall into an ambush by my commander. The outcome of this battle will naturally be a foregone conclusion!"
After hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong and others knew that what he said was right. In all likelihood, Chen Qiyu, the dog officer, had fallen into the Zuo thief's scheme and allowed him to succeed. Thinking this way, they were very unwilling.
At the same time, they also thought that if they were to lead it themselves, they would be able to defeat Chen Qiyu's dog officer. After all, with the dog emperor as bait, this battle would be too easy to win! Thinking about it this way, they became even more unwilling!
However, when they fell into Zuo Liangyu's hands, they could only watch Zuo Liangyu being complacent, but there was nothing they could do. Or I can only curse in my heart, cursing Zuo Liangyu for not being able to get his wish!
Among the people present, Liu Guoneng was the only one who didn't think so. Because he had secretly sent Wang Liuhui to report to the governor with his and Liu Yue's credentials.
Seeing that they had arrived in Wollongong, Zuo Liangyu, after happily showing off that he was indeed a veteran who was used to fighting, immediately began to send people to check the ambush situation of various bandits. He even personally inspected and inspected everything until he was satisfied.
Time soon arrived in the afternoon, and after the ambush was done, Zuo Liangyu breathed a sigh of relief, hid under the shade of a tree, smiled and said to the bandit leaders: "Actually, it's okay even if the Governor doesn't enter the ambush. He With only more than 10,000 men under his command, the Yongwei Battalion is a strong force. When the time comes, I will send an order for your elite men to fight, and they will fight with the Yongwei Battalion in wheel battles. I don’t believe it, because the Yongwei Battalion has traveled such a long way. , how much physical energy can be used up? A hundred thousand troops, how can they consume the Yongwei camp to death! The rest are not worth worrying about!"
This time when he came out, he took out all the elite members of the bandit army, and he had the idea to defeat Chen Qiyu's troops in one fell swoop.
When Zuo Liangyu said this, he suddenly raised his voice and said: "Of course, if such a situation really happens, I will definitely let those who are dissatisfied with me go to fight first."
Needless to say, Sima Zhao's intention to annex other bandit armies is already known to everyone!
However, if you make one mistake and end up like this, what can you do?
In this way, they waited in Wollongong. After about two hours, they finally heard movement. The sound of horse hooves and shouts of death were getting closer and closer, heading towards Wollongong.
