Mi Yuan shook his feather fan and asked pretending to be serious.
Xiao Pojun threw Liu Ling's autographed letter on the table: "Read it yourself!"
Mi Yuan picked it up and looked at it, and then said angrily: "I have already said that this person is treacherous and shameless and not someone to cooperate with, but the commander-in-chief refused to listen. Now he actually wants to come to Jiangzhou again.
Wolf ambition! Wolf ambition!”
Song Huairen frowned, took the letter and read it.
"General Xiao personally declares:
I have heard the name of the general but never met him, which is a deep regret. Ten years ago, I went hunting with the general by the Dashang River and shot tigers. I admired the general even more for his decisiveness and bravery."
The first two sentences were polite words. Song Huairen automatically ignored them and continued to read. The more he looked, the more frightened he became, and his brows furrowed tighter and tighter. When he saw the end, he thought for a moment and relaxed.
He frowned, put the letter on the table with a smile and said, "Is the commander angry just because of this?"
Seeing the calm look on his face, Xiao Pojun became even more angry: "I followed your words and joined forces with Liu Ling to deal with the Menghu. Now it's better. I drove away a thin tiger, but attracted a male lion. You still have
Mind smiles!”
Mi Yuan never gave up taking the opportunity to attack this weak-legged opponent: "If you hadn't persuaded the commander to cooperate with Liu Ling, Liu Ling would not have thought about the commander! I don't think you are planning for the commander, but you are planning for the commander-in-chief.
It’s more like planning for Liu Ling!”
Song Huairen smiled and said: "Commander, I just don't understand why you are so angry?"
"Why am I angry!? Liu Ling captured Jinzhou, and his appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Now he wants to attack Jiangzhou again. What is he saying about joining forces and fighting one family together? After he captures the two co-owners of Jiangzhou
If you lie to a child like this, isn't this going too far? Jinzhou let him let him, how can I let him go again in Jiangzhou!"
Song Huairen smiled and said: "So this is the handsome one. Let me ask the handsome man, did you suffer a loss last time when you joined forces with Liu Ling to kill a tiger? Did Liu Ling ever keep his word?"
Xiao Pojun was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Although he never broke his promise, he took advantage of the boss. Although I didn't suffer a loss, compared to him, I only got two thousand cavalry. Compared to him, he got Jinzhou City."
More than 20,000 right-wing guards came, am I still taking advantage?"
Song Huairen asked again: "If he had not joined forces with Liu Ling, would the commander be sure that he could defeat Meng Hu so easily?"
Xiao Pojun choked, snorted and said nothing.
Mi Yuan sneered and said: "Listening to what you said, it turns out that Liu Ling is really Liu Ling's man, but I don't know what benefits he promised you, and he plans everything for him!"
Song Huairen ignored him and instead hugged Xiao Pojun and said, "Commander, my subordinates think it is feasible for the two armies to join forces to attack Jiangzhou!"
Xiao Pojun snorted coldly: "Join forces? The Han army is powerful. They join forces to attack the city. It's not my brother from the Black Flag Army who rushes in front to die? Jiangzhou has been captured. He said he occupied half of it, so he really occupied half of it? Like this
Do you believe this nonsense? Besides, Zuo Zhenwei Zheng Chao is in the south of Jiangzhou City. If I attack the city, he will definitely attack me! Only a fool would do such a thing if he handed his side to Liu Ling!"
"Otherwise, Your Majesty, Liu Ling can agree that both sides will attack two city gates. Whoever breaks Jiangzhou City first will be the one. As for Zuo Zhenwei, if we attack the city alone, he will definitely attack, but if the Han army and the commander join forces, they will attack.
Attacking the city, with a total of nearly 200,000 troops, how courageous is Zuo Zhenwei?"
Mi Yuan snorted coldly: "Do you think Xu Shengzhi will just sit there and watch the show? Have you forgotten that the commander-in-chief beheaded Xu Shengzhi's nephew? If we really join forces with Liu Ling, I'm afraid Xu Shengzhi will
They will immediately fall to Zuo Zhenwei's side! And if Xu Shengzhi joins forces with Zuo Zhenwei, Liu Ling now has a hundred thousand soldiers, and they are all good soldiers. Do you think Zuo Zhenwei and Xu Shengzhi will fight Liu Ling or attack Liu Ling?
We are the Black Flag Army!"
Song Huairen said: "Could it be that when we attack Jiangzhou alone, Zuo Zhenwei and the gray-clothed army come to attack us? What a joke! What Liu Ling is planning is the great Zhou Dynasty. Now he still dares not to break his trust, and he
We also expected that the commander-in-chief must have some scruples about cooperating again, so we jointly attacked Jiangzhou to force the commander-in-chief to give way. We didn't do what he wanted, so we cooperated as the letter said and attacked Jiangzhou together.
How dare he, Liu Ling, take the risk of betrayal and attack us when he is on one side? He has an extra guard on his side, why not use it?"
Mi Yuan said angrily: "I still say what I said, this is seeking the skin of a tiger!"
Xiao Pojun's brows furrowed into two ridges. He patted his forehead vigorously and said, "This matter must be carefully discussed. Jiangzhou cannot let it go, and Liu Ling cannot offend him. We must also guard against Zuo Zhenwei and Huiyi."
The army is so difficult!"
Mi Yuan said: "Commander! You must not conspire with him anymore. Liu Ling is pressing on every step of the way and he has plenty of troops. He just wants us to get out of Jiangzhou. Since he wants to touch Zuo Zhenwei and Hui
Let’s just let Yi Jun touch his bad luck, why bother being tied up with him and making it uncomfortable?”
Xiao Pojun sighed: "Zian! You also know that our morale is now at its peak, and rebels from all over the country have come to join forces. Now our strength has exceeded one hundred thousand. Such a big family business cannot be achieved without a big city as its foundation. Cizhou has already
Occupied by Liu Ling, Jiangzhou is the only one within a thousand miles that is easy to fight. Without Jiangzhou, where would we go? Liu Ling can still live in peace with me, but there will inevitably be a war in the future. There is no city to rely on, so we will
There is no way out!"
Mi Yuan was stunned for a moment, knowing that Xiao Pojun was right, but he couldn't think of a good way for a while.
Song Huairen thought for a while and said: "Commander, my subordinates still feel that it is more beneficial to attack Jiangzhou together than to attack Jiangzhou alone."
Xiao Pojun said: "Shan Chang, have you ever thought about the difference between Liu Ling, Zheng Chao, and Xu Shengzhi?"
"the difference?"
Song Huairen thought carefully and said, "He is a foreign enemy."
Xiao Pojun nodded and said: "This is just one of them, but it is not the main point! The difference between him and me, Zheng Chao, and Xu Shengzhi is that they have different intentions! Liu Ling went south to destroy the Zhou Dynasty and seize these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. He wants it
Not one city and one state, but the entire Zhou Dynasty! And whether it is Zheng Chao of Zuo Zhenwei, Xu Shengzhi of the gray army, or I, Xiao Pojun, they just want to occupy a city, at most
It's just a matter of occupying a state to settle down. The Zuo Zhenwei is better. After all, they are the troops of the imperial court. They can settle down wherever they go. What about the gray army and the black flag army? We have no ambition to dominate the world, nor do we have the strength. I
They and Xu Shengzhi just want to find a place to put down roots."
Song Huairen sighed: "If Zhou loses his deer, everyone in the world will chase him away. Commander, sooner or later he will have to make plans."
Xiao Pojun waved his hand and said: "At least within three years, our Black Flag Army will not have this strength!"
"Therefore, Jiangzhou cannot be given up. If Liu Ling wins Jiangzhou, he can go east to attack Kaifeng, and go south to attack Luoyang. The imperial court will not tolerate him occupying such an important state capital! You watch
Well, Jinzhou is lost. Although the imperial court is extremely corrupt, it will never sit idly by. The imperial army will arrive soon. If we join forces with Liu Ling to attack Jiangzhou, then in the eyes of the imperial army, we will be Liu Ling.
Ling's alliance! When the time comes, it won't be Zuo Zhenwei and the Gray Army who are interested in us, can't you see this?"
"But we are different. Although we are rebels in the eyes of the court, we are thieves of the Zhou Dynasty, not foreign enemies. Even if we occupy Jiangzhou, the court's main attack will still be Liu Ling's Han army."
Song Huairen wanted to persuade him again, but Xiao Pojun stopped him.
"That's it, Shanchang. You can reply a letter to Liu Ling for me and tell him that I am bound to win Jiangzhou. If he also wants to take Jiangzhou, it would be better than competing to see who can win Jiangzhou first.
If I don't stop him, he won't stop me either. He can rob Jiangzhou based on his own ability. Don't mention the cooperation again!"
Song Huairen sighed and said nothing more.
The next day, Xiao Pojun raised his account.
"Li Yuanchao! I will give you 30,000 troops to guard Qingfeng Mountain. Within half a month, no one from Zuo Zhenwei or the gray-clothed army will be able to escape. Is it possible for you to do it!?"
Xiao Pojun asked.
General Li Yuanchao frowned. Although he was reluctant, he still bowed and said: "General, I obey!"
Xiao Pojun knew that Li Yuanchao had no confidence, but Jiangzhou must be fought, and Qingfeng Mountain was the only way for Zuo Zhenwei to go north. If Qingfeng Mountain was defended, Zuo Zhenwei and the Gray Army would not pose a threat to Jiangzhou. But no matter who
Defending Qingfeng Mountain, it is possible to face the nearly 200,000 troops of Zuo Zhenwei and the Gray Army, which will be extremely difficult. Xiao Pojun's subordinates who can conquer and fight will be led by Li Yuanchao. At this time, he has no one to choose from. Another
Although General Cheng Jie is brave, he lacks resourcefulness. He is the only one who leads the charge, but he cannot shoulder the important task of leading an army alone.
"As long as Jiangzhou is captured, you will be the first to achieve success!"
Xiao Pojun patted Li Yuanchao on the shoulder and said: "Soldiers, you can choose. Generals, you can choose. You can bring as much food, grass and equipment as you can. I have only one request."
He stared into Li Yuanchao's eyes and said: "If Jiangzhou does not fall for a day, you and your men will not be able to retreat even one step!"
"At noon today, all battalions will set out to attack Jiangzhou with my commander!"
At this time, Xiao Pojun had more than 100,000 men and horses under his command. Although most of them were old and weak, they were still very powerful. The army of more than 100,000 troops set out, and from a distance, they looked so arrogant.
Jiangzhou's defenders only had less than 10,000 county soldiers. Xiao Po's army attacked the city with more than 80,000 troops and was bound to win! (To be continued)
