Chapter 119

Gucheng County.

At the ferry more than ten miles upstream of the county seat, people shouted and horses hissed in the early morning. Looking around, hundreds of large and small ships came and went across the river. Countless people on both sides were surging across the river.

It took only one day for more than 20000 troops to cross the Hanjiang River. It can be seen that Zuo Liangyu has made full preparations although he has stood still in Guanghua County for more than half a year.

It is true.

In the past six months, Zuo Liangyu has been recruiting soldiers and horses while wantonly collecting and scraping, asking for rewards and food.

In a short period of six months, not only the army and horses have been doubled, but also the elite cavalry has reached the scale of 1000 people.

It can be said that compared with other generals in the late Ming Dynasty, Zuo Liangyu was definitely most willing to spend his money on his troops, not on the house and land.

"Father Shuai, the eight kings have given up the Valley City, retreated to the foot of Sirius mountain twenty miles away, and sent ten beauties, ten thousand liang of silver and a box of jewelry."

"Hum! I'll let him go for the time being. Tomorrow you'll take 10000 horses to the valley city and go to Baokang to meet the Xiaohua king for your father. "

Zuo Liangyu snorted coldly. If Xiong Wencan hadn't hurried, the eight kings would have obeyed the imperial court and let Gucheng out, so that he couldn't find an excuse. He had to kill the eight kings first.

The day before yesterday, Xiong Wencan just allocated a batch of money and food to him, and Baokang was attacked by a newly rising anti thief.

At this time, instead of fighting Baokang, he went to fight the eight kings who were subordinated to the imperial court. The one surnamed Xiong would write to impeach him.

Now that all kinds of anti thieves have been eliminated, all kinds of anti thief armies of the imperial court have freed up their hands, and he doesn't dare to violate the Yin and Yang as before.

So even if Xiong Wencan doesn't give him money and food, he will cross the river and attack. The key is that there is no oil and water in Guanghua county.

The eight kings, who live in Sirius stronghold, were really shocked by Zuo Liangyu's strength after hearing the report from the people who came back.

One thousand elite cavalry, twenty thousand men and horses, all armed with weapons, half of them still have cotton armor. Even in his heyday, he can't see enough!

Similarly, the red warbler, who was training soldiers and horses in Baokang, was half scared to death.

"Are you right? Are you sure it's the imperial army? "

"Sister Hong, we are absolutely right. It must be the army of the imperial court, not the thief army of the eight kings. The eight kings' men evacuated Gucheng yesterday and went downstream."

Two female soldiers who ran all the way from Gucheng to report the news quickly replied with sweat.

"How many people are there in each other? Do you see?" The red warbler has a dignified face.

Both women shook their heads together.

Then one of them said: "anyway, there are many, many to countless. We have been crossing the river from morning to afternoon. When we came, there are still soldiers and horses crossing the river."

"By the way, there seem to be cavalry." Another female soldier added.

"And cavalry, how many?" As soon as the red warbler breathed tight, she hurried.

"Should... Should not be less than us. They ride tall horses and have armor."

"Bad, that means there are nearly a thousand riders at the lowest?"

The red warbler's face changed greatly.

If that group of officers and soldiers really came to fight them, I'm afraid the 1000 cavalry will be in the city by noon tomorrow at the latest.

"What about sister Hong? That group of officers and soldiers must have come to fight us, or let's run quickly. "

"Yes, before the cavalry arrive, let's take the path and run back to the black mountain stronghold all night."

Both women were in a panic. Obviously, when they were in Gucheng, they were frightened by the endless battle of the government and army.

"The boy is still in Fangxian County. What if we run away?"

The red warbler didn't have a good airway, and then shouted outside. A beautiful female soldier came in.

"Xiaocui, you take your three sisters to report to Fangxian immediately. One person and three horses must arrive before dark. Don't cherish the war horses, you know?"

"Yes, sister Hong."

"Well..."

The red warbler explained to her again, and the woman named Xiaocui left in a hurry.

It was less than an hour before dark.

Immediately, the red warbler called Liu Hu, Wang Daniu and three other young captains to discuss.

The three captains were still young. Qin Huan used to do whatever he said, and Liu Hu and Wang Daniu were farmers.

The five people heard that a large army was coming, and they were all in a panic. Where could they come up with any ideas?

Finally, the red warbler had to decide to take 200 young soldiers and cattle to ambush the other cavalry at the Sancha estuary all night.

In any case, we can't let the other cavalry kill under Baokang city tomorrow. As for whether to fight or go, we have to wait until Qin Huan comes back.

The five people naturally have no opinion. At the moment, they are all six gods. What the red warbler says is what. In fact, the red warbler also doesn't know what to do.

"By the way, the news of the attack by officers and soldiers must be kept confidential and cannot be told to others for the time being."

As soon as the five got up to go down to work, the red warbler patted his forehead and said again.

……

One hundred and twenty miles, the army walked for three days, but Xiaocui took three female soldiers and changed horses instead of people. It took only more than an hour to run to Fangxian County.

It was just getting dark.

If it's in the plain, it's normal, but in the hills, it's terrible.

If it weren't for the four women's short stature, they only had more than 80 kilograms and three horses, I'm afraid they would die if they weren't fighting on the road.

Even so, after arriving, the war horse under the crotch of the three fell to the ground with white foam because of running at high speed for a long time.

At this time, Qin Huan was drinking with Niu Er in the county government room.

One by one, they hugged the two concubines of Wu county magistrate and pushed cups for lamps. They had a good time.

The Wu County order was trembling and responsible for pouring wine. It was obvious that the processed one had lost a bit of backbone.

Qin tie hurried in and whispered a few words in Qin Huan's ear. The leader's face changed greatly.

Then he adjusted and said with a smile, "brother Niu, drink first. Brother, there's something to deal with. Come as soon as you go."

"Oh, brother, go and come back quickly. Brother is waiting for you." Niu Er was having a good time. He didn't notice the change in his face just now. He waved his hand and smiled.

Qin Huan hurried out of the room and came to the hall. Looking at the embarrassed four women, he hurried.

"Xiaocui, what happened?"

"Xiao Hua... Hua Wang, no good..."

Xiaocui quickly said what the red warbler told her.

"How is that possible? How could the eighth King give up Gucheng and let Zuo Liangyu's army cross the river? "

"I see. It must be the obedience of the eight kings to the imperial court."

Qin Huan was also shocked and woke up with a slap on his forehead.

In history, although the eight kings also submitted to the imperial court at this time, it was because their strength was weakened to the extreme.

After his rebirth, he not only ambushed the two Ming armies and won a complete victory, but also wiped out the bandit stronghold.

Therefore, the strength of the eight kings is absolutely several times stronger than that of their previous lives. They never had the idea of submitting to the imperial court, and even wanted to fight with Zuo Liangyu more than once.

However.

A while ago, he wooed Niu Er and sneaked into sun Wang. In one fell swoop, he beat the eight kings back to their original shape and the same way.
