"Where is Mr. Lin? He has been away for more than ten days, why hasn't he come back yet?" Liu Guoneng asked, wandering back and forth in the tent, looking restless.

Jin Xiong's mouth moved a few times, but he still didn't speak. Lin Yufei left this time after repeatedly urging Liu Guoneng to send troops but failed. He also took away more than a dozen of the Runing Army contacts that Lin Yufei brought. And he left.

At that time, Lin Yufei also said: "Do it for yourself!" Isn't the meaning clear enough?

"Have the people sent to Huanggang come back?" Liu Guoneng asked again.

"The last batch hasn't come back yet." Jin Xiong replied cautiously.

After Jiaochezhen set off from Xinyang, they marched very quickly and arrived at Huanggang within three days. However, after arriving at Huanggang, they stood still and stared at Liu Guoneng's back like a needle. It really made Liu Guoneng feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

ah!

Liu Guoneng has sent three batches of messengers to Huanggang to contact him, but the Runing people there refused to accept the military salute and said nothing. At most, he said: "I got it!" and drove the messenger out. This made Liu Guoneng feel more and more worried.

The more you lose your bottom, the more you feel like you are about to be guillotined.

At this moment, the captain of Liu Guoneng's personal soldiers rushed into the tent in a hurry. He shouted loudly: "Back! Back! Your Majesty! The Eighth Master! The people who went to Huanggang are back!" The captain of the personal soldiers was

Liu Guoneng's confidant, of course, knew what Liu Guoneng was worried about these days, so as soon as there was news, he rushed to report Liu Guoneng.

"Call him in quickly!" Jin Xiong ordered quickly.

When the messenger entered the tent, he had to kneel down and salute. Liu Guoneng waved his hand impatiently and asked, "Stop pretending to be a courtesy and tell me quickly. Is there any news from Mr. Wu?"

The messenger hesitated for a moment and replied: "This time I met a General Xue. He told me that he wanted to send the old lady and the king's family back, and said... and said..."

"What else are you talking about?" Liu Guoneng shouted sharply.

"He also said we were allowed to do whatever we wanted!"

"Fuck!" Liu Guoneng kicked over the big case in the big tent with one kick. "Crack, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang," and the things on the big case were scattered all over the floor.

Liu Guoneng's eyes were already red with anger, and he yelled: "Then what does Butcher Wu want to do? Is he really going to do something to us? But we have always listened to him! If General Wu hadn't been arrested by the court...

,Alas——!" As he spoke, Liu Guoneng's anger turned into grievance, and he slumped down on the chair with all his strength, almost wanting to cry.

Liu Guoneng knew very well that if he really asked for his family, not only would he not be successful, but he would probably send his family to the road of hell. Even if Wu Shigong kept his promise and really sent his family over, would he dare to ask for it?

Don't say that your army will be stabbed in the back by the Runing Army in Huanggang immediately. Let's talk about the big and small leaders whose families are still in the hands of the Runing Army. They may immediately cut off their heads to claim credit. This is not

Looking for death?

"If I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have let Mr. Lin go then." Jin Xiong muttered on the side. In Jin Xiong's opinion, it would be better to hold hostages like Lin Yufei in his hands.

"No!" Liu Guoneng had already calmed down at this time. His psychological quality was indeed top-notch, and he was able to calm down quickly. "Everything cannot be done, so it is better to leave some incense."

"Then what should we do?" Jin Xiong asked.

Liu Guoneng became energetic again. He waved his hand and asked everyone to leave. He turned to Jin Xiong and whispered: "Old man! You just have to work hard. Find General Xue again. Just tell him: I

We would never dare to disobey orders. It’s just that the officers and dogs in front of us are powerful, and we have been fighting fiercely for days, and we are now in a stalemate here."

"But will they believe it?" Jin Xiong asked doubtfully.

"It's up to him whether you believe it or not! Anyway, we have knocked our heads on the ground. Just tell him: If you don't believe it, then we two will leave the team. Come to them, it's life or death anyway, so let them believe it, right?"

.”

Liu Guoneng could only play rogue, and he had already figured it out: the reason why the Runing army went to Huanggang to stay put, instead of attacking directly, was to give himself a chance. Moreover, his own head is not valuable, but his troops are valuable.

If you abandon your team and surrender directly to the Runing Army, your troops will definitely disperse, which is not in the interests of the Runing Army.

Just because Liu Guoneng wanted to make this gesture, he even stretched out his face to be beaten by Butcher Wu. If Butcher Wu didn't want to get things done, he would definitely be arrogant.

"Also, after you leave, I will immediately lead the troops to fight against Hanshan's official dogs. There is no need to conserve strength, just make a gesture to show to General Wu! Don't go empty-handed, bring a hundred dogs with you.

Horses and a hundred pairs of armor, Commander Wu is a good soldier, so we must submit to him! Alas—!" After finishing speaking, Liu Guoneng still let out a long sigh.

"But... but those horses and armor were obtained with great difficulty by us. They were given to General Wu, so we have less here." Jin Xiong became a little anxious.

After defeating the Nanjing camp this time, Liu Guoneng's troops captured a lot, but no matter how much they captured, they were not as many as his own men. Besides, horses and armor are the most valuable during wars. Sometimes there is no place to buy them if you have money, so Jin Xiong

It is extremely reluctant to give up.

"We are all going to be sold to General Wu. Are you still reluctant to part with some horses and armor? Go quickly!" Liu Guoneng was also extremely helpless.

"But what do the Eight Kings and Cao Cao say?" Jin Xiong asked again.

After the coalition forces of Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai arrived in Anqing, they immediately contacted Liu Guoneng and wanted to join forces to jointly invade the east. If possible, it would be best to capture several large cities in the south of the Yangtze River, which would make a lot of money.

But Liu Guoneng was unwilling. Although he was somewhat half-hearted about Wu Shigong, he did not want to rebel again, so Liu Guoneng declined Zhang and Luo's invitation. So Zhang and Luo retreated to the next best thing, and they proposed to exchange excess supplies.

Because of the great victory, Liu Guoneng had no shortage of military supplies. However, he stayed in Wuwei County for too long and had nothing to do. The Runing Army deducted supplies, so the food was somewhat insufficient.

The combined forces of Zhang and Luo captured several large cities along the way. There was no shortage of food and other supplies, but there was a shortage of military supplies. So Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai wanted to exchange what they had.

Liu Guoneng thought about it for a while, and then said: "Also send them horses, each with a hundred armors! We can't end the relationship. But we must be careful to arrange some appropriate people and don't let it out."

In early August of the 10th year of Chongzhen, Liu Guoneng once again led his army to attack the Ming army in Hanshan and He County. After exchanging a batch of supplies, Zhang and Luo's coalition crossed the Yangtze River, passed Tongling, and Kenanling, and invaded Wuhu.

In front of the Zhang and Luo coalition forces, Lu Jiude and Liu Yuanbin led the Yongwei battalion of more than 10,000 troops to join Liu Liangzuo, with a total of 22,000 troops. Under the command of Lu Jiude, they blocked the Zhang and Luo coalition forces.

To invade the east. Behind Zhang and Luo's coalition forces, Zuo Liangyu's 17,000 troops were also in hot pursuit. The Runing Army in Huanggang, Zhu Dadian's Department in Fengyang and the Ming Army in Nanjing all

I just watched from the sidelines for the time being. Then, the Wuhu melee began.

Huang Degong held the water bag in his hand and drank a lot. The water bag was filled with strong liquor, which was almost a bucketful. But Huang Degong drank it all in one gulp without caring, and then smashed the empty water bag to the ground.

"Little calves, learn from it and see how grandpa fights!" After Huang Degong finished speaking, he rushed out at the lead, and nearly a thousand Ming troops behind him, either riding horses or galloping, also followed Huang Degong.

Go up.

After Lu Jiude left with the Yongwei Battalion, Huang Degong was left with only a thousand frontier troops. Together with Huang Degong's personal soldiers, there were only 1,500 soldiers who had seen blood and were capable of fighting. The rest were left behind.

The 7,000 Ming troops under the Qing Dynasty were all Nanjing's capital camp with only frivolous showpieces.

Therefore, Huang Degong was also very grateful to Liu Guoneng for standing still, which gave him time to train the rookies. However, as soon as he practiced, Huang Degong almost vomited blood, because Huang Degong found depressingly: Whether it was personal combat skills or overall tactics, Nanjing Jingying was a bit better

They are no worse than the frontier troops, and even better in some places.

So Huang Degong was at a loss for these shiny dung balls. He could practice this combat skill, but not his courage! After thinking for a long time, Huang Degong could only use the level difference to stimulate these soldiers.

Huang Degong selected 1,500 of the best soldiers from the Nanjing camp, and then mixed them with the border troops. They drilled strictly every day, but they also served them with good food and wine, just to use them.

Lead the old with the new and develop a core force as soon as possible.

Although the rest of the soldiers are well-supervised, they only have a simple diet. Although they also have to drill, the intensity of the drill has dropped a lot.

However, this was not because Huang Degong was being petty, but that the Ming army did encounter difficulties in supplying supplies, and Huang Degong was forced to adopt this method.

When the battlefield was divided into two battlefields across the river, the supply to the rear of the Ming army must have been biased, and the side of Lu Jiude, the eunuch guarding Nanjing, always took advantage.

Huang Degong was illiterate, had a bad temper, and looked like a Qiu Ba. But he was a rare general in the Ming army with strict military discipline. Therefore, the troops he led did not disturb the people at all, so there was no need to collect taxes on the spot. Therefore,

, all his supplies depend on the rear.

But no matter what, because you rely on Jiangnan, you can still have a full meal, but how well you want to eat? That is impossible. So Huang Degong can only guarantee that group of elites.

After Huang Degong had rough drilled those soldiers, Liu Guoneng, who had been silent for a long time, began to take action. So Huang Degong immediately led his troops to intercept, and the prologue of the Wuhu melee started from Hanshan in Jiangbei and He County. (To be continued.
