Chapter 366 Before the chaotic war
Li Shaoyi's crazy words asked Lin Chunhong to take out the capital to bargain, which scared Xiong Wencan and complained in his heart: If I had known this, it would be better to let Li Shaoyi go crazy!
"Mr. Li, please also ask for a clarification: Lin Chunhong has more than 60,000 troops in Huguang, and is under the jurisdiction of the Cavalry, Tiger Roar, Tianwu, Tiance, Shenwei, Xuanwu, Xiongwei, Pili, and Shenji Nine Army. With the help of more than 20,000 Yangtze River Navy, he firmly controls the Yangtze River. It's okay, Lin Chunhong also vigorously organizes archers in Huguang, with more than 300,000 troops! As long as Lin Chunhong is willing, he can immediately have more than 400,000 troops in omnipotent warfare. These more than 400,000 are not bandits, but elite troops armed to the teeth!"
A cold sweat broke out on Xiong Wencan's forehead and did not hesitate to penetrate Lin Chunhong's bottom to Li Shaoyi, for fear that the court behind Li Shaoyi would be hot for a moment and would have a conflict with Lin Chunhong. It would be the most serious disaster since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
When he was displaying Lin Chunhong's strength, he deliberately avoided the Guangdong army and naval fleet. After all, he had just stepped down from the position of governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and once he told it truthfully, he could not escape the crime of being stupid and indifferent.
He thought Li Shaoyi would be frightened by Lin Chunhong's strength, but he didn't expect that Li Shaoyi had no abnormalities except for his increasingly gray face.
Li Shaoyi gritted his teeth and said angrily: "The current affairs cannot be planned by us. This official will immediately write to the court and ask the emperor to make a decision."
Xiong Wencan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Li Shaoyi was not crazy, when the court's resolution was officially issued, Lin Chunhong probably had already swallowed Sichuan. What will happen in the future? Let's talk about it later. Let's overcome the difficulties in front of you first.
Yichuan Zhang Xianzhong Camp.
Zhang Xianzhong was born in the same year as Li Zicheng, only three years older than Lin Chunhong, and only 32 years old. However, from the outside, Zhang Xianzhong was much older than Lin Chunhong. After ten years of rebellion, he was always on the verge of life and death, almost overdrawing his energy and life.
Now, the God of Destiny once again made Zhang Xianzhong and Lin Chunhong meet together. Although Zhang Xianzhong was extremely reluctant to face this collision, he had to face it.
In Biyang, although both sides have few troops and are far from meeting the scale of the confrontation between Sheng Kunshan and Zhang Xianzhong, the battle between Biyang was a life-and-death battle between the two, which left a deep impression on Lin Chunhong and Zhang Xianzhong.
After the Battle of Zibiyang, Zhang Xianzhong had been thinking about ways to deal with the Jingzhou army, but what made Zhang Xianzhong extremely frustrated was that the opponent's equipment advantage was too obvious. Even if he could take advantage of the tactics, he could not escape the failure.
Zhang Xianzhong had to admit that the Jingzhou army's advantages over the bandits were all-round and could not be compensated for in a short time.
Now, Lin Chunhong is forced to come to the door again, which has to give Zhang Xianzhong a headache.
"...... Since Lin Chunhong led his troops to Yuzhou, within twenty miles of the radius, the probe could not get close to the horse. Now he only knows that Lin Chunhong led the five armies of Cavalry, Tiger Roar, Xuanwu, Tiance, and Shenwei, with a total force of 33,000. I just received the news that Lin Chunhong had led his troops to Dongsugou, Dengfeng County, and the specific movements were unknown."
"In addition to Lin Chunhong, Huang Degong led more than 4,200 troops from the Jingzhou Army, and was only twenty miles apart."
Liu Wenxiu's words were a little lacking in confidence, and he was obviously ashamed of not having the exact information.
Zhang Xianzhong seemed to be unhappy with Liu Wenxiu's work. He stared at the map and asked casually, "Where is Dongsugou?"
Liu Wenxiu stepped forward, pointed out the location of Dongsugou with his hands, and said, "Since Lin Chunhong has arrived in Dongsugou, he is most likely to cross Songshan. Should we send elite troops to block Xuanwang Temple and stop Lin Chunhong from advancing?"
Zhang Xianzhong refused to comment, but just tapped Yichuan with his index finger, Ruzhou and Gong County, and sneered: "It seems that Lin Chunhong is quite dissatisfied with the horns I put on!"
Liu Wenxiu didn't know what Zhang Xianzhong meant, so she had to remain silent and said nothing.
Zhang Xianzhong suddenly raised his head and asked, "Wenxiu, let me ask you, if you were Lin Chunhong, leading more than 30,000 elite troops, attacked sharply, defended as a solid foundation, and could use cavalry to block the battlefield, how would you arrange troops?"
"This..." Liu Wenxiu's face turned red, as if she was not used to putting herself in the position of an enemy to think about problems, but Zhang Xianzhong had an order, and he had to work hard to do it. After holding it in for a long time, Fang said: "I will choose to advance from Ruzhou and fight steadily..."
Zhang Xianzhong nodded, turned his head, showed a smile on his face, waved to the 17 or 18-year-old boy, "Come on, Dingguo, tell me, what would you do if you were Lin Chunhong?"
The young man had not yet grown up, but he had a very tall figure, with a square face, a pair of agile eyes, and was full of spirit. After hearing Zhang Xianzhong's call, he blurted out: "I will send the cavalry army in Ruzhou, Yichuan to attack everywhere, disrupting his sight, and then send infantry to quickly climb over Songshan and directly penetrate into Yichuan to fight quickly."
Zhang Xianzhong laughed, stroked Li Dingguo's head, and said, "Wenxiu is steady, Dingguo is flexible, each has its own strengths. If you two brothers can work closely together, no one can be humiliated!"
Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo looked at each other and replied in unison: "The father taught me, and the child will never dare to forget it for a while!"
"Okay!" Zhang Xianzhong was overjoyed, pointed to Dongsugou and asked, "Lin Chunhong is more cunning than a fox. This time he neither chose to fight steadily from Ruzhou nor quickly advance from Songshan. There must be something strange here!"
Zhang Xianzhong frowned and fell into deep thought, as if he had forgotten Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo in front of him, and said simply: "In theory, the suddenness of the troops from Dengfeng crossed Songshan Mountain is not worth worrying. Lin Chunhong may even repeat Cao Wenzhao's mistakes. Is Lin Chunhong so stupid?"
Li Dingguo was young and said casually: "Does Lin Chunhong want to force us to retreat from Luoyang on his own initiative, and then pursue him along the way, and repeat the trick of defeating the King of Chuang?"
Zhang Xianzhong shook his head and said, "Things change quickly. The current situation is completely different from the situation faced by the King of Chuang at that time, and cannot be compared."
Zhang Xianzhong felt that he seemed to have ignored something, and he couldn't remember it for a moment. He couldn't help but feel a little irritated and asked impatiently: "Wenxiu, it's rumored outside that Lin Chunhong stole Ma Xianglin's wife. The two had a different grudge from Dai Tian. Is this true?"
Liu Wenxiu said: "According to the news from the secret stakes in Yuzhou City, the two had a conflict before they met. During the military discussion, they were even more tit-for-tat and refused to give in to each other. From this, it can be seen that Lin Chunhong snatched Ma Xianglin's wife, which was most likely true."
Does Lin Chunhong want to use our hands to destroy Ma Xianglin? No, no, Lin Chunhong's head is not that simple!
Zhang Xianzhong was thinking about it, and suddenly he found a horse and reported that Ma Xianglin had all withdrawn the Baigan troops stationed in Luonan and came to Yiyang and Xin'an. He is now only sixty miles away from Luo Rucai's camp.
Now, Zhang Xianzhong became even more confused. He wondered what the idea Ma Xianglin and Lin Chunhong were about.
