nanming man

Chapter 502
After Wei Wujun entered Wuchang Mansion, he resolutely destroyed the resisting left army, and gave some money and food to those who surrendered.

Soon more than [-] people gathered around Wei Wujun. Gao Yihuan took a rest in Jiayu County, left the old, weak and women behind, selected the strong and strong, and got more than [-] people. The left army confronted each other across the river.

The commander-in-chief of the left army on the West Bank is Li Guoying, the commander-in-chief, who is listed as a first-class figure in "The Biography of Two Officials".

This man is very capable. He has been the governor of Sichuan, the minister of the Ministry of War, the governor of Shaanxi and Sichuan. He has been active in Sichuan and defeated the Nanming army many times.

In terms of level, Li Guoying may be better than Kim Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong.

However, although Li Guoying is strong, and now he has 3 soldiers and horses, but facing less than [-] Wei Wujun and more than [-] vassals, he still has no confidence and can only defend aggrievedly.

At this time, outside the camp of the Zuo Army, Li Guoying was waiting outside the camp with a group of generals in armor.

Not long after, a group of cavalry came rushing from a distance, they were imperial envoys who rushed over from Wuchang.

Li Guoying and others came up to welcome them, and laughed loudly: "Li Guoying, the commander-in-chief of Wuchang, welcome the imperial envoy. The imperial envoy has come from afar, it's hard work!"

Wang Yan glanced at Li Guoying, "Mr. Li, how is the situation now?"

Li Guoying got Zuo Liangyu's letter to explain, and hurriedly clasped his fists and replied: "Reporting to the imperial envoy, the two armies are now facing each other, the situation is still normal, but the people on the other side show signs of crossing the river."

Wang Yan frowned, "Prepare the boat for me, I have to cross the river immediately!"

Li Guoying nodded with a smile, then waved and ordered people to do it.

The imperial envoy and his party did not enter the camp, so they went to the opposite bank by boat. Li Guoying led the generals and stood on the bank to send the imperial envoy onto the boat. Over there, this battle will not be fought. Don’t have any other thoughts, wait for Gao Jingzhong to retreat, Wuchang will still be the world of our Zuozhen.”

Gao Jingzhong on the opposite side was very insidious. He let out his words and clearly marked the price. The soldiers used to pay half a catty of rice every day and seven dollars a month. The officer took as many people as he brought. You will get a commission of one penny, and there is no cap on it.

Although the remuneration offered is not as good as that of Wei Wujun, but it is better than Zuo Jun's situation of not paying anything and not having enough to eat.

This made Zuo Jun uneasy, rumors spread everywhere, and there was no need to start a war, and he was afraid that he would almost betray him.

Gao Yihuan also did the calculations. The Zuo Army claims to be 50, but most of them are old, weak, sick, disabled and their family members. The ones that are really worth using are actually about [-]. It's a good deal.

Li Guoying led the generals to welcome the imperial envoys, the purpose was to give his subordinates a reassurance, to tell the generals not to panic, not to be so short-sighted, and to let them know that the imperial court was on the side of the left army.

For ordinary soldiers, it is indeed beneficial to vote in the Wei Wu army, but for the generals of the left army, it is not so certain.

With a chicken head and a phoenix tail, it is a question of whether he will be reused if he takes refuge in the past. He probably won't be as comfortable and messy as Zuo Zhen.

This really made many generals of the left army who were already tempted and prepared to join Gao Yihuan hesitate again.

On the west bank of the Jinshui River, Gao Yihuan has more than 5 people stationed on the opposite bank of Zuozhen.

On the bank of the river, the patrolling soldiers had spotted a boat a long time ago, and it was wobbly heading towards the west bank.

At this time, the boat had just landed when a group of patrolling soldiers came up to meet them. The leader of the patrol, the commander, shouted sharply, "Who are you? What are you doing across the river?"

Wang Yan, who was standing at the bow of the boat, calmly said, "I am an imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty, and I have something important to see Han Hangong!"

Hearing that it was an imperial envoy sent by the Emperor of Nanjing, Chief Whistle did not dare to be negligent, and bowed his hands to salute, "My lord, please allow me to report later, and wait for the commander-in-chief to speak before I can let you go ashore!"

Wang Yan frowned slightly, just from this detail, he knew that Gao Jingzhong's troops had strict military laws, and they only listened to Gao Jingzhong.

He couldn't help sighing that he was another warlord, but with a slight smile on his face, he said, "That's troublesome!"

At this time, in the camp of Wei Wujun, Gao Yihuan was sitting in the big tent, discussing with the generals about crossing the river.

Wang Youcai, who was still on the opposite bank last night, is now sitting in Gao Yihuan's big tent, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Commander, I have already persuaded several left generals, Ma Jinzhong, Wang Yuncheng and others, to work for the commander. "

Gao Yihuan nodded in satisfaction, "Mr. did a good job, Mr. Ji has done a great job."

Wang Youcai was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted to thank Marshal Gao.

At this time, Gao Yihuan looked at the crowd and said, "Since there are people on the other side who are willing to help, then it's easy for us to cross the river. Zhao Daxian, prepare your boat and cross the river from Ma Jinzhong's defense area."

As he said that, he looked at Wang Youcai and said, "Sir, I have to trouble you to come over again tonight to discuss with Ma Jinzhong and others. The two parties agreed on a time and a code."

Gao Dashuai occupies a high position, but his words make people feel like a spring breeze, and his voice is pleasant. Although it is an order, it makes Wang Youcai feel very comfortable.

"Marshal, I will go over tonight!" Wang Youcai said.

Gao Yihuan then stood up, walked to a battle map, waved and said, "Everyone, come here, let's see how to fight this battle."

The generals sitting on both sides got up together and surrounded them.

Everyone was chattering, but there was only one focus of discussion, which was how to transport the army across the river quickly.

Some people suggested preparing more boats, and some suggested connecting the boats to form floating bridges. In short, everyone believed that as long as people and horses crossed the river quickly, the left army on the east bank would be vulnerable to a single blow.

While everyone was discussing, Zhou Dali raised the curtain, cupped his fists and reported, "Commander, the patrolling brothers found a boat docked by the river, and someone said it was an imperial envoy from the imperial court. They wanted to see Commander, did Commander see you?"

Hearing the words, the tent suddenly became quiet, Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, and said in his heart, "You came so fast!"

Zhao Daxian suggested: "Marshal, why don't you just leave it aside and talk about it when we come over to the river."

Gao Yihuan shook his head, "I've come here, I still have to see you. This is called political correctness, and it's a matter of attitude, understand? The commander-in-chief first puts out his attitude, and then asks for prices. It depends on the attitude of the imperial envoy. If the court's attitude is tough , I just asked the imperial envoy to take a look at my Wei Wujun's demeanor, and see how the sons beat the grandson on the opposite side out of the shit!"

"Wonderful!" Wang Youcai gave a thumbs up, "The commander-in-chief is really wise. This is like giving the imperial envoy a blow. If you don't believe the court, you won't accept softness."

Zhao Daxian narrowed his eyes and felt a little pressure. He looked at Wang Youcai in shock, "Mom, isn't this my line?"
