Changde mansion is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the west of Dongting Lake, the southwest corner of Jianghan Plain, and only two or three hundred miles away from Changsha City.

At the moment, there was a roar of killing under Changde City, the bones piled up like a mountain, and the rebels launched a strong attack from all sides like a tide. The gentry on the wall had begun to despair, because since the thief army attacked Changde, no one came to help, but the anti thieves seemed to fight more and more.

"Adoptive father, attack."

"OK, great."

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Li Dingguo's fingers, and suddenly roared. His frown finally stretched out, and his hand on the handle of the knife also loosened.

"Congratulations to my adoptive father. Once this Changde City is broken, my adoptive father's great cause can be expected!"

Sun hope was also excited, and the other two adopted sons congratulated one after another.

No way. Since they went south to Huguang, they have been tired. They haven't stayed in one place for seven days at most. The brothers have long been tired of such days.

In the past month, Zuo Liangyu's nest in Changsha gave them a chance to breathe. Not only did he break all the prefectures and counties west of Changde and Yueyang Prefecture, but his troops and horses also expanded to more than 300000.

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Xianzhong laughed when he heard the speech. He was very happy. It was the first time since Qin Huan took off the order.

In fact, after Qin Huan defeated Nanyang, the eighth king always wanted to find a place to rest and recuperate as a root base. However, Yang Sichang kept chasing after him!

Since Qin Huan became the king in Xiangyang, and the king broke through the mountains and conquered cities in Guanzhong, the eight kings have been anxious, envious and jealous. It can be described as a mixture of five flavors.

For more than ten years after Lao Zhang's rebellion and uprising, there were countless counties in Kezhou and hundreds of thousands of mercenaries at one time, but in the end, they still fell and had to flee everywhere.

On the contrary, Qin Huan, who had been living under his hands, not only established a great name, but also a territory in just two years.

Even the Chuang Wang, who had to respectfully call brother Zhang at the party, was several times better than him. The depression in his heart was really not enough for outsiders!

Just as the rebel army entered the city, the four adopted sons surrounded Zhang Xianzhong and looked forward to the dream of winning Changde and becoming the king, several fast horses ran from a distance.

Not long after, he ran to the front. A big man turned over and dismounted. With a gasping fist, he reported: "report to the king. Yesterday, the left thief led the army to Changde."

"Hum! Did the thief pinch the time accurately? Do you really think I'm easy to bully? I'll count with him on this new hatred and old hatred. "

Hearing that Zuo Liangyu's army was pressing on the border, Zhang Xianzhong didn't have a half silk accident on his face, but snorted coldly. At last, his face twisted.

It can be seen how much you hate Zuo Liangyu.

"What is the strength of the left thief? How fast is the March? " Li Dingguo asked. Compared with two years ago, his face was more mature and less childish.

"General Hui, the number of left thieves is about 100000 and the number of vanguards is 20000. It's very fast. I'm afraid they will come to Changde City the morning after tomorrow."

"What, 100000? So, the dog thief recruited 50000 people in just one month. Isn't he afraid to arouse the suspicion of the court? "

Zhang Xianzhong was startled and gnashed his teeth.

The four adopted sons also changed their faces and couldn't laugh anymore.

After being picked up so many times by Zuo Liangyu, Zhang Xianzhong naturally knew that once Chang Decheng was beaten down, the left thief would immediately kill him and enjoy his success.

Therefore, in the past month, the eight kings have been pretending to attack Changde and asked the four adopted sons to attack nearby states and counties in four ways. It was not until these days that the four adopted sons came back with soldiers and horses and countless booty that they really began to attack.

"Adoptive father, the strength of the left thief has doubled. I'm afraid the original plan is inappropriate and needs to be considered in the long run!" Li Dingguo said solemnly.

Their original plan was to stabilize Zuo Liangyu under the guise of Changde, then send troops to attack various states and counties, quickly expand their strength, and finally fight to the death with the left thieves based on Changde.

After defeating the left thieves, they will attack Changsha, take the two houses as the foundation, start the government and become the king, and then sweep the area south of Huguang and the Yangtze River.

Who would have thought that Zuo Liangyu was secretly recruiting and buying horses. He was so crazy that he was unscrupulous.

"Second brother, those 50000 are just recruits. I don't think there's anything to worry about."

"Yes, I can't say anything this time."

As soon as Liu Wenxiu waved his hand, AI nengqi also said angrily. Sun hope was looking at Chang Decheng in a trance. He didn't know what he was thinking.

"The third brother and the fourth brother, although they are 50000 recruits, they have real guys in their hands. Although we have 300000 people, only half of the young and strong who can really fight and only about 50000 who have weapons, so it's better to be cautious."

After teaching the two brothers, Li Dingguo hugged Zhang Xianzhong: "adoptive father, stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood. The terrain near Changde is open, and one is not good. I'm afraid it won't have to be beaten back to its original shape again, so I'll bear it again for the time being."

"Second, you're so smart. I ask you, where else can we go if we don't fight the left thief in Changde? Are you going west to drill the mountain again?

Don't you want so much money and food? Don't you know how our soldiers came from? If you enter the mountain, you'll have to run away in one night. " Sun is expected to have no good airway.

"Go north, cross the river, and then go to Sichuan." Li Dingguo said slowly.

"Second, don't give me a bad idea. If you want to go to Sichuan after crossing the river, you must go through Shizhu. Haven't we been there? It's better to fight to the death with the left thief in Changde instead of being blocked in Jingzhou mansion. "

"Brother, I didn't say to go to Sichuan from Shizhu. At that time, we can continue to go north and discuss with Xiaoyu to go to Sichuan by way of Xiangyang Yunyang. I believe he should agree." Li Dingguo explained.

"Second, I think you want to go to the boy? That's right. Because of his relationship with the boy, when he went to Xiangyang, he was definitely below one person and above ten thousand people. Maybe the boy would assign you a princess or princess to warm up the bed. How can he compare to staying with his adoptive father? " Sun Hui said strangely.

Li Dingguo's face suddenly turned red: "brother, don't talk about it. I definitely don't think so. If I really wanted to go to Xiaoyu, I would have gone with him."

Zhang Xianzhong's face was gloomy. Finally, he sighed and waved his hand: "second, if you really want to go to the boy, your adoptive father won't stop you and won't blame you."

"Adoptive father, the child has no two hearts. If the adoptive father doesn't believe it, the child is willing to express his ambition with death!" Li Dingguo knelt down on one knee and said at last, Qiang pulled out his waist knife and crossed his neck.

"What is this? Get up quickly. If the adoptive father doesn't believe you, who else can he believe? " Zhang Xianzhong was so anxious that he quickly grabbed the knife from his hand.

"Thank you for your adoptive father. I will follow my adoptive father to the death. If I break this oath, heaven will kill me."

"The child also vows to follow his adoptive father to the death..."

After Li Dingguo's knife was taken, he swore to heaven. When the other three saw it, they had to kneel down and swear to heaven.

"Well, well, if your adoptive father has your help, why are you afraid of the left thief? This time we will fight him to the death under Changde City. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit! "

Seeing the loyalty of the four adopted sons, Zhang Xianzhong was almost moved to tears. When he helped them up, he said with pride.

Now the number of people and horses has finally recovered to 300000. He really doesn't want to cross the mountain again. Even if he finally loses both sides, it's better to go south or west to the mountain.
