Chapter 50 Dialogue between the two armies

The Great Sage turned to his subordinates and shouted, "Brothers! We will have to show off our hands later and sing a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace!"

"Okay! We must not embarrass the headmaster!" As expected, a large group of brothers decided to make a big fuss.

There was a hand in the dark. In fact, Zhang Biwu made efforts to protect Guangzhou and Xinyang.

In addition to keeping Lu Xiangsheng to guard Guangzhou and Xinyang, Zhang Biwu also sent a letter to Li Zicheng. The content of the letter was to tell Li Zicheng that Zhang Biwu was attacked by the Qing Dynasty because of northern Henan and eastern Henan. This time the commander of the Qing Dynasty was Jirhalang, the auxiliary ruler. It can be seen how much the Qing Dynasty attached to this offensive.

If the Guangzhou and Xinyang that Zhang Biwu finally captured this time were both lost, then if he wanted to open up the road to Huguang, his attempt to liberate Li Zicheng would be in vain. For the common interests of both sides, he should cooperate sincerely.

Li Zicheng should have raised an army to attack Ajige, and prevented Ajige's troops from being used to attack Xinyang and Guangzhou, so that Lu Xiangsheng could protect this place.

This letter has been sent, but it is only a key point away from Li Zicheng. Of course, Ajige does not want Li Zicheng to communicate information with Zhang Biwu. He communicates information through the places he guards again and again. Ajige feels that he is really shameless. If he does not strengthen patrols and prevents such things from happening again, how can he do it?

It's a pity that the messenger sent by Zhang Biwu was caught and the letter was handed over to Ajige.

When Ajige saw the letter, he was very proud and said, "Zhang Biwu, Zhang Biwu, you want Li Zicheng to attack me so that I can't take action against you, right? Hehe! Tell you that although your idea is very good, it will not succeed! Now I will set up my army to regain my Xinyang and Guangzhou. Of course, I will continue to expand my power forward and attack you together with Jiergalang and others! Haha!"

Ajige pointed to Lingbao with his hand and said, "I will see how you will be like then! Can you stop my strong attack with Jirgalang?"

Oboi and Nikan were both waiting. Ajige waved to them and shouted: "The whole army will be dispatched! Eliminate Zhang Biwu! Snow our shame!"

Oboi and Nikan looked at each other, so I was so happy! I have been waiting for a long time this day! Attack!

There is no doubt that if Ajige's uprising, Lu Xiangsheng would be difficult to defend. In addition, Zhang Biwu's letter was not sent to Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng was fighting fiercely with Zhang Xianzhong. Do you want Li Zicheng to send troops to restrain Ajige? This is even more difficult.

And Li Zicheng might have thought that if Ajige's men fought fiercely with Zhang Biwu in Lingbao, then Li Zicheng could take the opportunity to capture Xiangyang, he could occupy all Huguang, and his power could expand!

At that time, Ajige was not afraid of giving Xiangyang and even the entire Huguang area to Li Zicheng. As long as Zhang Biwu was destroyed first, he would not be in a hurry to deal with Li Zicheng slowly later.

Zhang Biwu did not know that his messenger was captured by Ajige. At this time, he received a report that Ajige's army surrounded Guangzhou and Xinyang and continued to attack. Lu Xiangsheng had a difficult time defending because the opponent's red cannon was extremely powerful.

Zhang Biwu has had several confrontations with the invading enemy troops, and they all have victory or defeat. It is not easy to free up a hand to rescue Lu Xiangsheng.

Zhang Biwu asked Jirgalang to meet, first of all, because he wanted to meet the regent, and also wanted to find opportunities to defeat him, or to draw troops to support Lu Xiangsheng.

The two met in front of the two armies.

Jirhalang smiled and said to Zhang Biwu: "Zhang Biwu, it's the first time I have seen you! I have always suffered from no chance, and now I have a chance! I originally thought you were a big man, the type of Zhang Fei! Who knows, but you are like a literati and a fair young man like Zhao Zilong! Haha!"

Zhang Biwu smiled and said to Jirhalang: "Jirhalang, as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, you actually commanded the troops personally. It really surprised me! But I think about it, you are the nominal auxiliary king, but you have no power at all! Maybe you can't even compare to a dog that Dorgon raised, right?"

Jirgalang's face jumped. He thought that his two younger brothers Zhai Sangwu and Fei Yangwu were lost to Zhang Biwu's hands, so he clenched his fists. He was indeed angry, but now he had to pretend to be generous. He didn't want Zhang Biwu to laugh at, and he knew that Zhang Biwu said this to ridicule him and at the same time sow discord.

At this time, Zhang Biwu saw Abatai and said, "Oh! Isn't this Abatai who promoted the seventh uncle to the prince in the so-called first year of the pseudo-Shunzhi?"

Abatai looked at Zhang Biwu. He was very jealous when he met. He muttered annoyedly and didn't want to pay attention to him!

Zhang Biwu continued, "Ah! It seems that Prince Abatai doesn't want to pay attention to me! No wonder! At the beginning, I only led 10,000 people, and drove your 100,000 people like a rabbit, starting from Shandong to outside the pass, and more than just chasing you! I chased you all the way to the Songjin Land! Sorry! Didn't I be ignorant at the time? I chased you 100,000 people with only 10,000 people and turned you into beggars. I should have even fewer people, and I could only chase you 100,000 people with 1,000 people! I was really ignorant at that time!"

Zhang Biwu turned to his soldiers and then laughed. Everyone laughed, wanting to ridicule Abatai together.

Abatai blushed, and he couldn't show up again, but he shrank behind another person. Abatai was ashamed of this matter and never wanted to mention it again.

Abatai pressed his hand tightly on the handle of the knife, and it was obvious that he wanted to fight, and he didn't want to meet Zhang Biwu at all. If Jirhalang hadn't expressed his unanimousness to meet, he wouldn't have come! Now, he was ridiculed by the other party as soon as he came. It was not Abatai's strength. He could get up to the point when fighting.

Jirhalang then said the key point: "Zhang Biwu, don't be proud! You are going to be attacked by both sides of us, are you still secretly here? Tell you, you want to send messengers to Li thieves so that Li thieves will no longer fight with Zhang Xianzhong, and thus send troops to help you. This plan has been seen through by Prince Ying! Prince Ying has also captured your messenger. Now Prince Ying has launched all his army and issued an edict to Qin Governor He Luo to let him send troops together!"

Zhang Biwu was stunned when he heard this. If Li Zicheng did not send troops, Lu Xiangsheng would be unable to resist! Is what Jiergalang said true? Questions circling in Zhang Biwu's heart.

Jirgalang continued: "Li thief has no benevolence and righteousness. He knew that Prince Ying's army would be able to occupy the entire Huguang if it went north. He would let you sacrifice! So you would be defeated by me on both sides. We are not afraid that Li thief would get Huguang. So what if he occupied a larger territory? When we drove him away from Yanjing in the past, wasn't his territory larger? What was the result? We were driven to a corner of Wuchang and couldn't move!"

Zhang Biwu knew that Jiergalang was right at all! Even if you, Li Zicheng, revert to Huguang again, the Qing Dynasty would not be afraid! If Li Zicheng really only cares about the present and let him die, then the situation would be bad!

Zhang Biwu complained secretly, but he was silent, for fear that the morale of the army would be shaken.

Jirhalang looked at Zhang Biwu's appearance and smiled. He knew that what he said had penetrated into Zhang Biwu's heart. The reason why he wanted to meet Zhang Biwu today was, first of all, to meet this legendary hero, and secondly, to discourage Zhang Biwu's morale. Even if he told Zhang Biwu all this, there was nothing scary.

The two talked again, and then the capitals returned to the camp. Jirgalang naturally ordered the entire army to remain unmoved and just defended the enemy. He had to wait until Ajige's army arrived and then attack Zhang Biwu in the middle, so that the chance of victory would be much greater.

When Zhang Biwu returned to the main account, he certainly had to ask someone to check if it was as Jirhalang said. At this time, Lu Xiangsheng's urgent document came, saying that Ajige really had the main force to attack. Ajige planned to really give up Xiangyang and other places and go north.

Lu Xiangsheng also said that if Li Zicheng did not raise an army, he would not be able to defend Xinyang and Guangzhou for long. After all, Ajige had many red cannons!

Zhang Biwu looked in Wuchang's direction and sweated: "Li Zicheng, although your surname changes drastically after becoming emperor, you won't be able to tell the most basic relationships, right? No, right?"

Zhang Biwu knew that he had to wait for Li Zicheng. He had no other way except to believe Li Zicheng and of course Song Xiance. At the same time, he was also prepared. Li Zicheng ignored him and Zhang Biwu. He only thought about his own words, so Zhang Biwu had to escape into the mountains to fight guerrillas.

At this time, Li Zicheng was not good at the battle with Zhang Xianzhong. They won and lost each other. Everyone suffered heavy losses. Moreover, it was getting more and more difficult for Li Zicheng to raise money and food! If he continues like this, it is not a solution!

At this time, he heard that all Ajige's main forces went north, because Jirgalang, the auxiliary ruler of the Qing Dynasty, led his army to fight fiercely with Zhang Biwu, and Ajige's army was to achieve the goal of attacking on both sides.

Now is indeed a good opportunity. If you send troops to Xiangyang and take Xiangyang in one fell swoop, you will be able to consolidate and strengthen your strength!

It’s always better than the fierce battle with Zhang Xianzhong in Yucheng. No one can get it. It’s much better for each other to spend the loss of troops and generals!

At this time, Song Xiance asked to meet him, and Li Zicheng met him.
Chapter completed!
