Liu Jia followed Wang Kuang's words and said: "General Wang, the great general also has this intention!" After a pause, he sighed quietly and said: "There are rebel armies all over the country, but the only one who can confront the reckless thieves head-on is Chi.
Eyebrow! Why can't we? It's all because we don't unite as a team. It's all because we are fighting on our own. We often encounter strong enemies, are isolated and helpless, and are struggling. If we can join forces, we will definitely be able to achieve something in Nanyang.
!”
Wang Kuang smiled while stroking his palms and said loudly: "General Liu said well! So, your general is willing to form an alliance with our army?"
Liu Jia smiled and said: "Exactly!"
Before Wang Kuang could speak, Chen Mu asked: "After the alliance is formed, Zhutian's army should retreat to Pinglin and the Xinshi area to join our army."
What he meant by this was that the Zhutian Army should give up its existing foundation, come to Pinglin and Xinshi, and merge with the Green Forest Army. To put it bluntly, the so-called alliance means that the Green Forest Army annexed the Zhutian Army and absorbed the Zhutian Army into
part of yourself.
After hearing this, Wang Kuang and Wang Feng both frowned secretly.
Liu Jia shrugged and said, "Retreat to Pinglin and Xinshi area? Does General Chen think that if our army retreats to Pinglin and Xinshi and joins forces with your army, it will be able to last long in the future?"
Chen Mu frowned and stared at Liu Jia intently, silent. Liu Jia continued: "Only Pinglin, a small place like Xinshi, can raise many soldiers and horses? How many soldiers and horses can it recruit?
We are in troubled times, like a boat sailing against the current. If we don't advance, we will retreat. We will retreat to plain forests and new markets. This is not thinking about making progress and will bring about our own destruction!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Mu became furious, slammed the table, stood up, and asked angrily: "Is General Liu here to discuss an alliance with our army, or is he here to embarrass our army?"
Following his questioning, the generals of the Ping Lin Army present raised their hands, grasped the hilts of the swords under their ribs, and glared at Liu Jia one by one.
Wang Feng straightened up, wanting to comfort Chen Mu and ease the current tense atmosphere. Wang Kuang rolled his eyes, secretly reached out his hand, pulled Wang Feng, and told him to calm down and see how Liu Jia would respond.
In his heart, Wang Kuang strongly agrees with forming an alliance with the Zhu Tiandu Tribe, but he also has to consider who will take the lead after the alliance is formed.
If Chen Mu could really suppress the Zhutian Army and let his own Green Forest Army take the lead after forming an alliance, he would certainly be happy to see it happen.
Wang Feng did not think as much as Wang Kuang thought. He had a natural affinity with Zhu Tianjun. It was very simple. Liu Xiu once saved his life.
When the Nanyang County Army led by Zhen Fu came to attack Pinglin and Xinshi, they defeated Pinglin Army and Xinshi Army. If Liu Xiu hadn't secretly rescued them, Wang Feng would not be alive today.
After receiving Wang Kuang's signal, Wang Feng frowned, looked at Liu Jia nervously, then looked at Chen Mu and others who were extremely angry, and subconsciously clenched his fists.
Liu Jia didn't seem to pay attention to Chen Mu's anger at all, and he completely turned a blind eye to the murderous and fierce-looking Pinglin Army generals around him.
He slowly picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a slow sip of tea, and then said slowly: "We formed an alliance to survive, not to die."
The implication is that it would be a dead end for the Zhutian Army to give up everything they currently have and retreat to Pinglin and the Xinshi area.
Of course, this road of death also has forks. One is death at the hands of foreign enemies, the imperial court, and the other is death at the hands of internal fighting, the Green Forest Army.
But no matter which way leads to a dead end, this is not what Zhu Tianjun wants.
The Zhutian Army has currently laid a good foundation in Nanyang, occupying several large counties. Chen Mu's real purpose is not really to ask the Zhutian Army to abandon these counties and retreat to Pinglin, where Xinshi will join their side. He said that this
The words are just for testing, to see if there is a chance to suppress the Zhutian Army and make the Zhutian Army a subsidiary of our own side.
Everyone present looked at Liu Jia without blinking, but Liu Jia seemed to be fine, sitting there and drinking tea slowly.
His sitting posture is very standard, and his back is straight. Even if he is just one person, facing so many wolf-like generals of the Green Forest Army present, there is no trace of fear or fear in Liu Jia's body.
There was no trace of panic at all, he was calm and composed as usual. This may be the style of a general.
Through Liu Jia, it is not difficult to see the overall quality of Zhu Tianjun.
It was extremely quiet in the Chinese military tent, with only the sound of people breathing and breathing.
There was a sound of appreciation in Wang Kuang's eyes. He suddenly burst into laughter, waved to Chen Mu and said, "Meng Jian, sit down, sit down, sit down quickly. You just have a hot temper. If you have anything to say, let's talk it over."
, let’s talk slowly!”
Chen Mu borrowed the donkey down the slope and sat back on the mat pretending to be annoyed.
Wang Kuang said to Liu Jiale cheerfully: "What a man who seeks to live rather than to die. On this point, I think we all have the same opinion. However, if the Zhutian Army refuses to retreat, it will face Rulang
How can the tiger-like 100,000-strong capital army survive?"
Liu Jia put down the tea cup and said: "If we are the only ones in the Zhutian Army, it will indeed be difficult to compete with the Capital Army. But if we have the help of our brothers from the Green Forest Army, our two families will join forces to deal with the Capital Army. It is not impossible for us to win."
"That's a hundred thousand capital army!" Chen Mu emphasized with emphasis. You think you're just playing house. It's a joke that you can defeat a hundred thousand capital army!
Liu Jiazheng said seriously: "The Capital Army is not a wolf or a leopard. It is also a human being. It can be injured, die, and suffer defeat! As long as the tactics are used properly, our 3,000 remaining soldiers can encircle and annihilate 5,000 of them.
Tens of thousands of Red Eyebrows can annihilate a hundred thousand of them. As long as you are fearless and dare to fight to the death, who says the capital army cannot be defeated?"
"You..." Chen Mu heard Liu Jia insinuating that he had no courage. He became angry and pointed at Liu Jia to scold him. Wang Kuang waved his hand to him and said to Liu Jia pleasantly: "General Liu's words are very kind.
!What the red eyebrows can do, how can we not be able to do it?"
After a pause, he said seriously: "I agree to the alliance between the two armies. From now on, Lulin and Zhutian will become an army of brothers and work together to fight against the reckless thieves! However, the specific details of the alliance require the general of your army to go to Pinglin and Xinshi in person.
One trip.”
For such a big matter, there are too many aspects that the two sides need to negotiate. Liu Jia cannot make the decision alone. Specific matters must be discussed by the leaders of both sides.
Liu Jia naturally understood this, but he felt it was inappropriate to ask Liu Yan to come to Pinglin and Xinshi in person.
First, our situation has not been alleviated by the victory in the Jiyang battle. The situation is still very critical. At this time, Liu Yan, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, naturally should not leave.
Secondly, the Green Forest Army said nicely and were willing to form an alliance, but what if something changes again?
Pinglin and Xinshi are the territory of the Green Forest Army. If they have evil intentions, after the general arrives here, the sky will not respond and the earth will not work.
Liu Jia's mind changed rapidly, he pondered for a moment, and said: "General Wang, your department should also be very clear about the current predicament of our army. At this time, the general should not leave the army for too long, and from Jiyang to Xinshi, even if you work hard,
I'm afraid it will take less than half a month to come and go. In such a long time, I don't know how many things will happen in Jiyang!"
Wang Kuang nodded in understanding and asked: "So, what about General Yi Liu?"
Liu Jia said: "You and I can choose a compromise place to meet. I think Cai Yang is the most suitable!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Mu was almost angry, and he raised his voice and said, "Cai Yang? Cai Yang has been captured by five thousand county troops and is being occupied by the county troops!"
Liu Jia slowly raised his eyebrows and asked with an understatement: "The remnant of our army was able to annihilate 5,000 capital troops in Jiyang. With your army at its peak, in Caiyang, how could it not defeat 5,000 counties?"
Can the army fail?"
The defeated remnants of the Zhutian Army were able to annihilate the 5,000 capital troops. If the Green Forest Army, numbering tens of thousands, was helpless against the 5,000 county troops occupying Caiyang, what qualifications would they have to talk to the Zhutian Army about who will be in the future?
Being the leader, he is not even qualified to form an alliance with the Zhutian Army.
This is Liu Jia's counter-general army against the Green Forest Army.
If the Green Forest Army sincerely wants to form an alliance with itself, then it must show sincerity and show the corresponding strength of the Green Forest Army. Retaking Caiyang is the best proof of the Green Forest Army.
And this proof can exactly help Zhu Tianjun.
The capital army in the north has already made it difficult for the Zhutian Army to deal with, and the county army has emerged from the rear. It can be said that the Zhutian Army is now in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides. If the Green Forest Army can help us solve the big problem of the county army in the rear, but
It helped me a lot.
The Chinese army tent fell silent again. The generals of the Green Forest Army looked at each other, but no one spoke immediately.
At this moment, someone suddenly laughed loudly and said in a rough and arrogant voice: "With only five thousand county troops, what should we fear? Our green forest army can pick off those five thousand soldiers just by walking by."
The head of a child from Qianjunjun!"
The man who spoke was young, about thirty years old, with a tall build, a black face, a full beard, a ferocious appearance, and an evil aura. This black-faced man was none other than Zang Gong.
When Liu Xiu led his army to attack Chaoyang, he happened to rescue Zang Gong. The two fell in love, and Zang Gong promised to join Liu Xiu's command.
However, he did not want to leave the Green Forest Army without saying goodbye. Later, he left Liu Xiu and returned to the Green Forest Army, intending to resign from Wang Chang and Cheng Dan, the chief generals of the Xiajiang Army.
As a result, when he arrived in the Xinshi area, he did not encounter Xiajiang's army, but he met Xinshi's army and Pinglin's army.
Knowing that Zang Gong was a fierce general, Wang Kuang and Chen Mu admired and loved him very much, so they enthusiastically kept him here.
At that time, Xiajiang's army was not in Nanyang, but went elsewhere to seek development. Zang Gong looked for it alone, and he was afraid that he might not be able to find it. It would be better to stay here in Xinshi and wait for Xiajiang's army to come back.
Zang Gong felt that what they said was reasonable, so he temporarily stayed in Xinshi. As a result, before he could wait for the Xiajiang Army to return, he first waited for Liu Jia, who wanted to form an alliance with the Green Forest Army.
Zang Gong naturally supports 100% the alliance between the two armies. In this way, he does not have to leave the Green Forest Army, but can logically join Liu Xiu's command, saving a lot of trouble and no harm to him and Liu Xiu.
Wang Chang and Cheng Dan's affection can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Zang Gong suddenly stood up and spoke, and made bold words. Everyone present was stunned and all their eyes fell on Zang Gong.
Although Zang Gong was born with a big body and a thick body, he seemed to have little ambition, but in fact he was quite colorful.
He scratched his hair pretending to be stupid, looked around at everyone present, and asked: "The Zhutian Army only has 3,000 wounded soldiers, and it can annihilate the 5,000 Capital Army. How can it be that our 30,000-strong Green Forest Army can't deal with that mere army?"
