Although Liu Zongmin was a rough man, he was also careful. He asked each team to always be on guard against Wang Guangen. Then he, Gu Kecheng, and Xin Sizhong took dozens of soldiers to a stream between the Chuangying Camp and the Guanying Camp.
Next door, meet Wang Guangen.
At the same time, Bai Wang also received an urgent report from Xingshan and Yiling about the late-night patrol. It was said that the official army had launched a large-scale operation. It was reported that the main force of Chu soldiers, led by Yang Shien and Luo Anbang, was 6,000 people.
Having already moved to the Xingshan County area, the main force of 4,000 Sichuan soldiers, led by Wang Zhilun, Sun Fengsheng, Wei Jiazeng, Tan Yi, and Luo Wenyuan, moved to the vicinity of Yiling.
In addition, in the Nanzhang area further north of the battlefield, Cao Ying's scouts also found traces of another official army: Nanzhang County had 2,000 Sichuan Gan troops led by Zhu Hualong and Tan Wen. This was a Sichuan army and the Xiangxi town
Troops composed of mixed warriors have strong combat effectiveness.
In addition, the two Yuan soldiers, Min Yiqi and Yin Xianmin, who the rebels thought would be used by Yang Sichang as the main force of the official army, have not yet been seen. Perhaps they are still on their way from southern Huguang to the battlefield in western Hubei. This Yuan army
The troops might not be able to catch up with the main force in Xingshan for the decisive battle. But for the Chuang and Guan battalions who stayed behind the enemy lines, this belated Yuan troops might become a major crisis.
Of course, the generals in the camp did not know about the intrigue between Yang Sichang, the governor of the Pavilion, and Fang Kong, the governor of Huguang, nor the conflict between Fang Kong, the governor of Huguang who directly commanded the Xingshan campaign, and Chen Ruimo, the governor of Pianyuan, who was in charge of the Yuan troops.
Naturally, they could not have expected that Yuan Bing was dragged to the south by Fang Kong because he was worried that Governor Pianyuan would compete with him for credit.
At the edge of the stream, Liu Zongmin revealed most of the information obtained during the camp break to Wang Guangen. He persuaded the camp to close the camp. The situation was critical now, and everyone must work together to fight this battle no matter what.
"Brother, the officers and soldiers are now gathered in Xingshan. Although Cao Shuai has combined nearly ten thousand troops, our weapons are not as sophisticated as those of the officers and soldiers, and we do not have firecrackers or cannons to use. Cao Cao wants to lure the enemy deep, but he may not be able to
Capture the officers and soldiers."
Wang Guangen stood on the other side of the stream. He was surrounded by Wang Chang and more than a dozen guards. After hearing what Liu Zongmin said, he laughed twice and replied: "My big brother, I know you are
What do you mean? You want to take advantage of the officers and soldiers to kill Xingshan, and let us work together to attack Yiling... But you don't trust me, Lao Guan, as a person."
Liu Zongmin did not answer, but his silence obviously acquiesced to Wang Guangen's intention.
"Hahaha, indeed. I also admit that when I was in Shaanxi, I contacted Hong Hengjiu many times and was ready to accept recruitment at any time. But it has been so many years, and I followed Brother Cao Cao and pretended to surrender in Fangxian and Junzhou
Xiong Wencan. Brother Jiexuan, do you think it is possible for the court to accept me?"
In fact, what Liu Zongmin was most worried about happened to be what Wang Guangen said. Wang Guangen nominally agreed to Xiong Wencan's recruitment in Junzhou, but then followed Cao Cao and Luo Rucai to raise troops again. His capriciousness and lack of faith really made Liu Zongmin unable to trust him.
.
"Brother Jiexuan, we are all comrades in the green forest. I just want to recruit people, but I also want to be loyal. I will never use a knife against my brothers in the past. You can rest assured that Cao Cao is kind to me. In this battle, I am not
I am fighting for your Chuangying camp, and I am fighting for my brother Cao Cao. I will use whatever strength I have, I just hope that your Chuangying camp will not retreat in the face of the battle."
Xin Sizhong, who was next to Liu Zongmin, was the youngest. He couldn't stand Wang Guangen's aggressive tactics and immediately shouted: "We are all good men who stand upright and cannot be beaten, crushed, frightened, or pulled away."
The boss can’t trust us, and we will see the real chapter on the battlefield soon!”
"Brother Jiexuan, you really have a good warrior under your command!" Wang Guangen praised first, then his face turned serious. He pulled out his sword, cut off the branch on the side with one blow, and said, "We will work together with our two battalions.
Retreat, break Yiling first, and then attack Xingshan. If I, Laoguan, cannot do my job well, it will be like this!"
"good!"
Although Liu Zongmin still had doubts in his heart, he also knew that it would be inappropriate for him to continue to press the camp. He also cut down a section of a branch and swore an oath to Wang Guangen. Then the two armies returned to their respective camps and began to rest and prepare for battle, while releasing
Ye Bushou and the spies disguised as mountain people observed the movements of the officers and soldiers, and at the same time sent envoys to the main force of Cao's camp in Xingshan to inquire about the date of the war.
Li Laiheng, Bai Wang, and Gao Yigong were arranging their teams in the camp. Seeing that the battle situation had taken on an atmosphere of imminent storm, everyone's emotions became highly tense. The entire camp was filled with a chilling feeling in an instant.
Atmosphere.
Li Laiheng directly asked Uncle Qing and Hao Yaoqi to pass on the order. All the soldiers of the Little Tiger Team should have a meal quickly and then rest for two hours. When this time passes, there will be no time to rest! By then everyone will
No dismantling of armor is allowed, no room for relaxation even for a quarter of an hour, and all efforts must be made to deal with the war.
Li Laiheng personally helped the soldiers place the tied tents and various military supplies. At about the second watch, when everyone had almost rested, Li Laiheng took Uncle Qing and Hao Yaoqi to inspect all the tents.
Once again. Hao Yaoqi dozed off a lot, but he also knew that now was no different than usual, and it was not the time to act foolishly.
"Everyone, have a good rest." Li Laiheng had asked Uncle Qing to help him memorize the names and identities of more than a dozen people in the Little Tigers who had performed well in training and combat. This time he set up camp, and he specially separated these more than a dozen people.
Go to different camps and ensure that in each camp there is a soldier whose name and identity you can recite.
He asked Uncle Qing and Hao Yaoqi to stand outside the tent, and he approached the place where the soldiers rested alone. It was pitch black inside the tent and it was really difficult to see clearly, so Li Laiheng had to ask Uncle Qing to hold the door cloth with his hands so that he could scream
The moonlight came in, making it easier for him to recognize people.
After searching like this for a while, Li Laiheng finally confirmed the brother whose name he had memorized in the camp. He stared at this man and immediately leaned over. Originally, Li Laiheng's intention was to help him tuck the quilt, and then "accidentally"
"Zhong" woke up the soldiers, and took the opportunity to tell the names and identities he had memorized, to show how much he loved the soldiers like his own son.
But who could have imagined that these birdmen of the Little Tiger Team were sleeping so deeply. Li Laiheng went up to tuck the bedding with thatch, and almost covered the soldiers to death with all his strength, but these birdmen still made a loud snoring sound.
Slept deeply.
Uncle Qing couldn't stand it anymore and asked cautiously: "Master... should we just splash water to wake them up?"
"Fuck you...!" Li Laiheng almost laughed out loud. He was here to win people's hearts before the war, not to conduct a night attack.
However, Hao Yaoqi performed well this time. He directly grabbed a beam that held up the tent and shook it with his natural power. Suddenly, the tent began to rattle, and the few soldiers inside were slightly agitated.
The meaning of sobriety.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Laiheng hurriedly rushed over, and a fierce tiger came down from the mountain and tucked the quilt in. Finally, at the right time, he woke up the soldiers in the tent.
The sleepy-eyed soldiers of the Little Tiger Squadron were still half asleep when they saw the three big faces of Li Laiheng, Hao Yaoqi, and Li Changqing appearing in front of them, and they were almost scared to death.
"Control, control the team!"
Li Laiheng quickly put on a kind and gentle look. He put his index finger in front of his mouth to signal everyone not to make any noise and wake up the people in other tents, and then he started his performance.
"Shh, don't make any noise. Don't wake up other people who are resting. I just don't know what to do. I'm always worried that you haven't slept well. The weather is so cold, and you are all careless men. If you don't cover yourself with bedding or thatch,
How bad it would be to get sick before the war!"
"Hey, aren't you Zhang Pili? I still remember you. I remember that you and your mother joined the camp together. I also ate the food your mother cooked in the old camp. It tasted really good!"
How could Li Laiheng have this ability to remember the identities, backgrounds and names of his subordinates clearly? Of course, these were all things he had memorized in advance. Since he was going to act, he had to do the whole thing. While tucking Zhang Pilu into bed, he
He said with a serious look: "You are a good man. I still remember that when you were in Shanyang County, you were the first batch of people to enter the county. What a hero! Next, we will counterattack Yiling and attack the official.
The army has a way out, you have to perform well, and when we win, you can go back and eat the good food cooked by your mother!"
"Guan Dui... Guan Dui remembers things about me so clearly!" Zhang Pizhu was a young soldier, even younger than Li Laiheng. His father and brother were soldiers in other rebel armies, but they all died in Hong Chengchou
With nothing to rely on, he and his mother fled to the camp.
Because Zhang Pitu was young and not very skilled in martial arts, he was initially assigned to the Little Tigers by Li Zicheng. He had a low status in the camp, but he did not expect that the adopted son of a tiger, Li Laiheng, who was in charge of the camp, would
I remember his things so clearly!
His eyes were almost moist, and he choked and said: "In charge of the team... in charge of the team, I will not disappoint you. When the war breaks out, I will fight for my life and defeat the officers and soldiers!"
"Okay, okay, be ambitious! And all of you, everyone is very ambitious and heroic. I remember each of you very clearly. Everyone must fight hard and win the battle!"
Of course, in fact, everyone in this camp except Zhang Pizhu was familiar to Li Laiheng. He had only recited Zhang Pizhu's deeds. It would be embarrassing for others to really ask.
.So Li Laiheng also quickly ended his remarks and told everyone to have a good rest and prepare for war.
After he, Uncle Qing, and Hao Yaoqi exited the camp, they took a breath. In each small tent, Li Laiheng memorized the deeds of one of them. As long as he told the deeds of one person, the others would naturally feel the same.
, I should also be remembered very clearly by Li Laiheng.
The next step is to repeat the previous round of operations. Uncle Qing opens the door, Hao shakes the flag and shakes the beam to wake everyone up, and Li Laiheng goes up to perform the recitation. His words brought tears to everyone's eyes, and their hearts were filled with tears for our little tiger brother.
, the ambition to conquer a vast sea and sky.
Starting from the second watch, Li Laiheng performed recitation performances in each camp, and continued until the fourth watch, before almost everyone in the Little Tiger Team was taken care of. Uncle Qing stood outside and asked Hao Yaoqi with a suspicious look on his face: "Wao Qi, you
Is it a lie to say that young master?"
Hao Yaoqi looked admiring and said: "We manage the team to endorse, that is really something! You are so awesome! If you ask me to carry it for three or four days, I can't even carry it!"
"...That's not bad." Uncle Qing shook his head helplessly.
