Chapter 183
Zhang Xianzhong's foster sons are all dragons and phoenixes, but the best are Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo.

One of them has many ideas, and the other is very good at fighting. They are Zhang Xianzhong's right-hand men.

Li Dingguo was the best fighter among the four adopted sons, Zhang Xianzhong saw him begging for orders, he immediately agreed with a big smile.

Three days later, after making some preparations, Li Dingguo took more than [-] people from his headquarters as forwards, and marched towards Xiangyang mightily.

Zuo Liangyu was ambushed in Yancheng last year, and only more than 500 of the eight thousand elite fled back to Xiangyang.

Now that nearly a year has passed, Zuo Liangyu's strength has recovered somewhat, and the court did not punish him, but he is not happy.

At this time, Li Zicheng in the north of Xiangyang had grown so big that he was trembling. In the southeast of Xiangyang, his old rival Zhang Xianzhong had also captured Wuchang.

Now he is caught between the two big thieves, and the years of fighting have made him have deep grievances with the two thieves. Once he falls into the hands of either side, there will be no good end.

At this time, seeing that he was about to be pinched to death in Xiangyang by two thieves, Zuo Liangyu became anxious.

But at this moment, he suddenly received a report from a scout that a western army had just set out from Wuchang and was heading towards Xiangyang, and it had already arrived in Chengtian Mansion.

This news surprised Zuo Liangyu, but at the same time, he was a little angry. He knew that after Zhang Xianzhong occupied Wuchang, he would have to fight with him, but he didn't want Zhang Xianzhong to come so quickly, so he didn't take him seriously.

If he hadn't wanted to support the bandits and let Zhang Xianzhong go, Zhang Xianzhong would have been trapped in the mountains to death.

Now that the Kou whom he raises wants to turn back on him, Zuo Liangyu can't help feeling a little regretful that he didn't kill Zhang Xianzhong earlier.

He has achieved his original goal, and the Ming court can no longer do anything to him, but the Ming court is about to die.

It was night, Zuo Liangyu was pacing back and forth in the festival hall with his hands behind his hands, appearing to be preoccupied.

He had dealt with Zhang Xianzhong for many years and knew that Zhang Xianzhong was very capable. His brother died at the hands of Zhang Xianzhong, and he himself was almost killed by Zhang Xianzhong several times.

Zuo Liangyu was still quite afraid of Zhang Xianzhong, especially when Zhang Xianzhong took down Wuchang, and his momentum was in full swing. Zuo Liangyu really didn't know what to do with him at this time.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, General Li has arrived." The soldiers outside the hall reported with their fists clasped.

Zuo Liangyu was refreshed, and immediately ordered: "Let him in quickly."

Not long after, Li Guoying walked into the lobby quickly, Zuo Liangyu saw him coming in, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Li, have you checked the situation clearly?"

Li Guoying quickly clasped his fists in salute and said: "Commander, the last general has found out clearly that the thief has indeed sent troops, and the leader is Li Dingguo, the adopted son of the thief, nicknamed Xiao Yuchi, with more than 2 people!"

"It's Li Dingguo who galloped to the city of Xiangyang with twenty light horses overnight." Zuo Liangyu frowned.

Seeing Zuo Liangyu's expression, Li Guoying immediately said: "Commander, we are caught between the intruder and the thief. There is only one way to die if we are trapped in Xiangyang. Now that the thief is here, we have only one fight to defeat the thief." , and then drive the thieves out of Wuchang, and connect with the southeast, so that we can survive."

Zuo Liangyu calmed down. Li Zicheng in the north would definitely not be able to beat him, and Guanzhong and Henan were occupied by Li Zicheng. He could not break through to the north, so he could only pick up the persimmons and fight Zhang Xianzhong in the south.

Zhang Xianzhong killed his eldest brother's family, and he also killed Zhang Xianzhong's wife and concubine, the hatred between the two cannot be resolved.

Now Zhang Xianzhong has more than 20 followers, and he also has more than 20. It's not like he's incapable of fighting.

Zuo Liangyu walked back and forth in the festival hall for a few steps, stopped and said: "You are right, Xiangyang is dead now, this commander must defeat the thief before he goes south, otherwise the thief will come , this handsome is about to be attacked from both sides."

Having said this, Zuo Liangyu looked at Li Guoying and said, "Mr. Li, hurry up and get ready to fight the bandits."

"The last general takes orders!" Li Guoying cupped his fists in salute, and left in a hurry.

Zuo Liangyu watched him leave the lobby, feeling a little unsafe, and hurriedly ordered: "Command Xu Yong to prepare and go out with Li Guoying!"

In the early morning of the next day, Li Guoying led 2 horses and rushed south. Not long after, Xu Yong led another 5000 people and left Xiangyang City.

Outside the city, in a forest, a few figures dressed as refugees saw the left army of the brigade rushing out of the south city, and the leader immediately turned his head and said: "Mazi, Ma Liu, Zhang Xin, you three, hurry up and report to the general. It is said that the left army in Xiangyang has left the city."

Gao Yihuan adopted the old man's strategy and sent people to Wuchang to spread the news that the Dashun army was going south, and Zhang Xianzhong was the first to raise troops to capture Xiangyang.

Although Xiangyang is a strong city, Zuo Liangyu is trapped in Xiangyang, and there is only one dead end.

Because there is only such a solitary army as him in Hubei, once he is besieged in the city by Zhang Xianzhong, no one will come to rescue him, and he will be trapped in the city to death.

Therefore, as long as Zuo Liangyu learned that Zhang Xianzhong was raising troops to take Xiangyang, whether he wanted to or not, he would send troops to fight, and Zhang Xianzhong could not besiege the city.

And as soon as Zuo Liangyu sent out troops, Gao Yihuan's opportunity would come.

To the north of Xiangyang City, on the east bank of the Baihe River, in Shuanggou Town, tens of thousands of horses gather here.

The reason why the army ran to the east bank was to rely on the river to block the scouts of the left army, but in the past few days, none of the scouts of the left army appeared in Gao Jun's field of vision.

At this time, Gao Yihuan was talking with Wang Guangtai to learn about the situation in Xiangyang and Yunyang.

The three Wang Guangtai brothers were originally bandits, and later surrendered to the army for a while, but because of the lack of supplies, he could only come out and continue to fall grass, and by the way helped Wang Guangen and Wang Chang who were still in Yunyang.

"Second brother, the scouts came back to report that Xiangyang's Zuo army has left the city." Zhao Zhuzi walked over and said excitedly.

Gao Yihuan was overjoyed when he heard this. After waiting for four or five days, the left army in the city finally moved.

"How many people are leaving the city, and how is the equipment?" Gao Yihuan still wanted to ask more clearly.

"The scouts said that there were 5000 people, and they left in two groups, less than an hour apart. Each group had more than 1000 armored soldiers, and they should be elite soldiers from the left army." Zhao Zhuzi replied.

Zuo Liangyu has a crowd of 20, and the core force does not exceed 5 at most. Now that more than 3 people have left, Gao Yihuan immediately stood up, "Guangtai, you should immediately release the news for the general, and say that the Dashun Army is going south. Zheng, want to seize Xiangyang City. The Dashun Army will provide two full meals for any hero who is willing to come and serve.”

"Zuo Liangyu doesn't do any personnel work in Xiangyang. If the general spreads the news, the heroes will definitely rush to vote first." Wang Guangtai accepted the order with his fists clasped.

Gao Yihuan then ordered again: "Zhao Zhuzi, the army is about to cross the river, and the troops should raise more banners to make the momentum louder. I was going to scare Zuo Liangyu to death."

Zhao Zhuzi also took orders, and Wang Tizhong, who was on the side, saw that everyone had missions, so he couldn't help asking: "General Gao, what about the humble job?"

Gao Yihuan gave him a contemptuous look, "You just follow behind, it doesn't matter if you are there or not~"
