Chapter 1221: Abacus

When Liu Zeqing and the three of them were discussing secretly, the thief army in Wuhu City on the other side was already facing a great enemy.

In the past two days, the officers and soldiers have been building momentum on the other side, claiming to have 200,000 reinforcements from the south, and how can the thieves in the city sit idly by, and the officers and soldiers are constantly moving along the river, obviously wanting to cross the river, which makes them have to be 12 points cautious.

Wuhu is just a small county under the Taiping Mansion in the south, in fact, the Taiping Mansion is also a small mansion, under the jurisdiction of only three counties, when Tu, Wuhu, Fanchang, the government is in the north of Wuhu Dangtu County, and then north is Nanjing, the reason why this mansion is put the intention is obvious, that is, if the war starts, this Taiping Mansion is the frontier position can play a role in buffering the city of Nanjing, of course, the authorities do not want this kind of thing to happen, so the name Taiping!

However, the reality is always cruel, the one who should come will always come, Bai Wang in response to Huang Lai'er's Eastern Expedition, he got a river down the north to conquer Nanjing, and surprisingly smooth, from the ravine of Jiujiang singing all the way down to more than ten prefectures and counties, in order to avoid stepping into the big egg, Bai Wang stayed in Anqing to consolidate the fruits of victory, and sent his general Wang Tizhong to continue to advance north along the river towards Nanjing.

Bai Wangbu was Li Zicheng's north last year to annihilate Sun Chuanting's department, in order to avoid being chased by Zuo Liangyu, leaving an elite army guarding "Xiangjing" (Xiangyang), its combat power can definitely enter the top three in the thief army, otherwise Zuo Liangyu who can't fight has been defeated repeatedly, and Lu Daqi has no way to take him.

Such an elite out of the mountain is like a dragon going to sea, even if there are officers and soldiers blocking along the way, it is a touch and defeat, not to mention that there is almost no decent resistance, it is easier to walk than Sunshine Avenue, so it goes all the way to attack the city and plunder the land, if in previous years, it is necessary to burn and plunder, but at this time the thief army is not what it used to be, and disdain to rob the house and do the bandit family has a greater goal: to establish political power.

In this way, it is necessary to win the hearts of the people, first of all, it is not possible to burn and loot so unabashedly, but to be targeted, such as the rich gentry in the city, although they have not committed any crimes against ordinary people, they are not so blatant.

In this way, when Wang Tizhong in Anqing and Bai Wang separately led more than 10,000 troops to continue to fight all the way north to Tongling County, Chizhou Prefecture, he heard that Li had returned to Xi'an since his success or failure, and hesitated in shock.

So Wang Tizhong decided to stay in Chizhou Mansion to operate, and ordered his fierce general Wang Deren to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to continue north.

Wang Deren's nickname is Wang Zamao, and his name is not a good stubble, but in fact he is indeed a fierce general in the thief army, ruthless, spicy, drunk, lustful, and evil.

Interestingly, in history, Wang Tizhong killed his top boss Bai Wang, and Wang Zamao also killed his top boss Wang Tizhong, and he was eventually dismembered by a thousand knives and died, but now he is quite nourishing, and even a little floating.

It is said that this Wang Zamao was ordered to go north, and led 2,000 troops to come out of Tongling, and plundered and coerced the people all the way to Fanchang County, Taiping Mansion, when it was already nearly 10,000 people.

Wang Zamao was not polite, and insulted his wife and daughter in front of him, and then hacked him to death.

A few days after the scourge in Fanchang County, Wang Zamao waved his division to continue to the north to reach Wuhu City, when there were tens of thousands of people, its momentum was not yet exported to surrender, the county ordered Wu Zaifa to open the door, Wang Zamao's old trick repeated the beheading and humiliation of his wife and daughter, and then rewarded him for enjoyment, and tortured the rich gentry and robbed the women in the city for several days.

The small county town of Wuhu is not yet able to meet Wang Zamao, his goal is to be the Taiping Mansion City dozens of miles away in the north.

It's just that Fucheng is generally high and thick, and there are soldiers and horses, especially when Tu and Nanjing are close at hand, is it energy to fight?

In the past, he was confident that he would attack a city with 2,000 thieves, but now it is different, he dares to pry the earth if he is given an iron rod, and he even thinks that with 2,000 soldiers and horses, he can take down the city of Nanjing.

Three days, three days later, send troops to take this bridgehead in Nanjing, and then wrap more people to fight Nanjing City, Lao Tzu wants to play all the girls on the Qianhuai River...... Phew, look at your own situation, Lao Tzu wants to sleep with those women of the prince's family and the Hou Ye's family......

Wang Zamao has been thinking about the world of flowers and flowers in Jinling for the past few days, but suddenly a piece of news made him wake up instantly: the imperial court has transferred 200,000 reinforcements from the north, and its vanguard has reached the other side of the Yangtze River!

I was really almost scared out of a sweat, 200,000!

Then there was another pout, damn, it can be blown better than the master, where is the 200,000 army from the north!

Although he knew that there was water in the 200,000 yuan, Wang Zamao also knew that the empty hole would not come to the wind, so he sent people to investigate, but the news he got really made him frown: the fishermen said that there were indeed officers and soldiers stationed on the other side of the Yangtze River, and they wandered by the river day and night, like crossing the river.

If it really crossed the river and came, I am afraid that Wuhu, which has just arrived, will have to change hands, and going to Nanjing will become a bamboo basket to draw water.

There is no news about the people who went to Tongling, but the detailed work of crossing the river to reconnoiter has brought the latest and most detailed information: there are indeed tens of thousands of officers and soldiers stationed on the opposite bank, and the government is requisitioning fishermen and fishing boats from various counties along the river......

It's really going to cross the river! Wang Zamao didn't know how to deal with it for a while, if tens of thousands of reinforcements killed Jianglai, he was only afraid of being defeated when he first arrived, so he found his dog-headed military advisor Yan Xuming to ask for a plan, this Yan Xuming was dressed in a Taoist robe and claimed to be a Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain, as for the origin of the truth and falsehood, no one knows, but he and Wang Zamao smell like each other, and often give advice to him, won Wang Zamao's trust.

"200,000 is not credible, but where did tens of thousands of soldiers and horses come from" Yan Xuming frowned: "The imperial court does not have many soldiers and horses in the north, and it has very few available soldiers in the campaign for several months, and there are border fortresses that must be defended...... It could only be the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp guarding the city of Beijing, and it could not be ruled out that it was the emperor's personal guards! It seems that the imperial court has run out of energy, and now even the old book at the bottom of the pressure box has been turned out and used."

"What do you care about what kind of soldiers you do, I'll ask you how to deal with it, how to fight!" Wang Zamao snorted.

Yan Xuming said unhurriedly: "General, don't worry, listen to the poor Dao...... This reinforcement from the north is not good at stubble, no matter whose soldiers and horses are not good, after all, there has been a constant war in the north in the past few months, whether it is the Beijing camp or the pro-guards, they must have participated in the war, and it is no longer the wax head gun of the past......" Seeing that Wang Zamao was about to scold again, he hurriedly went straight to the topic: "It's not good and useless, and the thousands of miles of running are already tired and tired, and it is even possible that they are not adaptable, so their combat power will be greatly reduced, and we are in danger of the Yangtze River, so what is there to fear from tens of thousands of people?" ”

"Don't go around the bush, just talk about how to do them" Hearing Yan Xuming say that there was nothing to be afraid of, Wang Zamao breathed a sigh of relief.

"There are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, don't we also have tens of thousands?" Yan Xuming smiled: "If they want to cross the river, let's let those ordinary people go to pick them up and wash the dust, even if they are exhausted after that level, at that time, the general will lead the elite to kill them, can they bear it, retreat 10,000 steps, they resisted, how many people can be left, at that time, we will retreat into the city and hold on to them, and they will not be able to attack the city in a short time, during this period, our reinforcements have arrived, and Lihewai should definitely kill him and ......turn over on his horse."

Ahh Wang Zamao stroked his palms and was overjoyed: "If tens of thousands of officers and soldiers are broken, this merit is greater than the defeat of Taiping Mansion City!" ”

"Hehe, if the general breaks these tens of thousands of officers and soldiers and recruits them to surrender, then he can pull a mountain by himself, not to mention the king's body, even if you are in charge of the house, you have to let you have a few points......"

Wang Zamao grinned: ", this battle must be done" suddenly frowned again: "Will Nanjing take advantage of the situation and kill it?" ”。
