Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Liu Xiu has always attached great importance to intelligence, and the Zhu Tianjun has not yet made an incident in Chungling, and Liu Xiu has attached great importance to the collection of intelligence when he is still farming at home.

At the beginning, the Zhutian Army wanted to form an alliance with the Green Forest Army, how could Liu Xiu not understand and study the main generals of the Green Forest Army?

In his opinion, Wang Kuang and Wang Feng of the Xinshi Army, Chen Mu and Liao Zhan of the Pinglin Army, and even Cheng Dan of the Xiajiang Army, the main generals of the Green Forest Army, are far inferior to Wang Chang in terms of character and morality.

According to Liu Xiu's speculation on human nature, the only high-level people in the entire Green Forest Army who can keep their word and be trustworthy are Wang Chang and Wang Yanqing.

After listening to Liu Xiu's analysis, Liu Xiu's mind turned around and said, "It seems that I have to go to Yiqiu in person!" ”

If Wang Chang's Xiajiang army could be brought over, then Wang Kuang's Xinshi army and Chen Mu's Pinglin army would have no choice but to follow their own side into the battle.

The Xinshi Army and the Pinglin Army can ignore the allied forces of the Zhutian Army, but they must not ignore the Xiajiang Army.

After all, Xinshi, Pinglin, and Xiajiang all belong to the Green Forest Army, and if the Xiajiang Army participates in the war, and Xinshi and Pinglin still sit idly by, then the Green Forest Army will be split from the inside, and Wang Kuang and Chen Mu can't afford to take this risk.

Liu Xiu said: "Big brother, I'll go with you!" ”

"No! Ah Xiu, you have to stay in Thorn Yang! Liu Xuan said: "The 100,000 reckless army is close at hand, and it may attack at any time, you and my brother can't all leave Jianyang!" "The brothers have to leave at least one person behind to guard the city.

Liu Xiu pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

Although he really wanted to follow his eldest brother to Yiqiu to gather and meet Wang Chang, the chief general of the Xia Jiang army, his eldest brother's words also made sense, now the situation in Thorn Yang is precarious, and the war is about to break out, and someone really needs to stay here to dominate the overall situation.

In the evening of the same day, Liu Jiu left Jianyang, only took Liu Jia and Liu Ji, and went straight to Yiqiu Ju.

It is indeed not close to Yiqiu Gathering in Jianyang, Liu Xuan and the three of them rushed to the road for a night, and when it was dawn the next day, they finally arrived at Yiqiu Gathering.

Now, Yiqiuju has almost become a large military camp, inside and out, full of soldiers of the Xiajiang Army.

More than 5,000 people, compared with 100,000 Beijing division troops, is pitiful, but when it comes to such a small place as Yiqiuju, it still seems overcrowded.

Hearing that Liu Xuan, the chief general of the Zhutian Army, had come to Yiqiu, the generals of the Xiajiang Army were also shocked. At present, the main generals of the Xiajiang Army are Wang Chang, Cheng Dan and Zhang Wei. Among them, Wang Chang is the main one, and Cheng Dan and Zhang Wei are the auxiliaries.

Whether to see Liu Xuan or not, and who should meet Liu Xuan, the three of them also had some discussion, and finally decided that Wang Chang would meet Liu Xuan.

After all, the Zhutian Army and the Green Forest Army are allied forces, and the commander of the Zhutian Army came in person, and Wang Chang, the commander of the Xiajiang Army, has no reason to avoid it.

Since it was decided to meet, there was nothing to keep. Wang Chang was very enthusiastic and personally went out of the camp to greet Liu Xuan.

After meeting, Wang Chang laughed out loud and said: "I heard the prestige of the general Bosheng in the past, but today I can see that the general is really extraordinary!" ”

Wang Chang's impression of Liu Xuan is not very good, but it is not very bad.

In fact, the personalities of the two of them are very similar, they are both bold and righteous, but there is one thing that makes Wang Chang very dissatisfied with Liu Xuan.

At the beginning, when the Zhutian Army was in full swing and won successive battles, the Green Forest Army sent an envoy to Liu Xuan to seek an alliance between the two armies.

If Liu Xuan was unwilling, he could refuse himself in front of the envoy, but Liu Zhuo didn't even see his own envoy, and his attitude was arrogant and rude, which was tantamount to openly slapping the face of the Green Forest Army.

In addition to this incident, Wang Chang's overall impression of Liu Jiu is quite good.

At the same time that Wang Chang was looking at Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan was also looking at Wang Chang.

Wang Chang's appearance is very ordinary, not so ugly, but definitely not good-looking.

The tips of his eyebrows and the corners of his eyes are raised upwards, typical of standing eyebrows and eyes, while the corners of his mouth are curved downward.

Even if he was smiling, there was a sense of oppression with his eyebrows crossed. All in all, he has a serious face, not angry but mighty.

Wang Chang is indeed not a good kind, when he was in his hometown in Juxian County, his younger brother was injured, Wang Chang knew about it, and directly slaughtered the other party, and then fled his hometown and ran away, and it was in the process of running away that he joined the Green Forest Army.

It can also be seen from this that the folk customs of the Han Dynasty were still very strong, even ordinary civilians killed people and ran away at every turn. Like the Liu clan, who has a certain foundation, he will get involved with the officials if he disagrees.

Liu Xuan and Wang Chang exchanged polite greetings, and then walked into the camp of the Xiajiang army.

In the past, Liu Xuan had been to the camp of the Xinshi Army and the Pinglin Army, and his impression of the management of the two armies was very general, but when he entered the camp of the Xiajiang Army this time, he felt obviously different from the Pinglin Army and the Xinshi Army.

First of all, the tents in the camp were set up in a very standardized manner, row by row, column by column, neat and orderly.

Moreover, the four battalions in the east, west, north and south are clearly divided, and even in the camp, they can encounter obstacles composed of rejecting horses and earthen walls from time to time, which is used to prevent the enemy from stealing the camp.

Secondly, there were hardly any idle soldiers in the barracks, let alone frolicking soldiers.

In the huge barracks, large and small school military fields, there are soldiers practicing, and occasionally you can see a large group of soldiers running around the camp with weights.

Compared with the Xinshi Army and the Pinglin Army, the Xiajiang Army was more like a well-trained, elite and warlike regular army, and the conditions of the Xiajiang Army were significantly better than those of the Xinshi and Pinglin Second Armies.

It can also be seen from this point that Wang Chang is very far-sighted, he did not mix with the Xinshi Army and the Pinglin Army, but went to Nanjun to seek development, which is a very correct choice.

In the past, Liu Xiu didn't know much about Wang Chang, but he heard Liu Xiu say that Wang Chang's character and virtue were stronger than Wang Kuang, Chen Mu and others.

Now that he has seen the Xiajiang Army under Wang Chang's rule, he has a deeper understanding of Wang Chang.

Whether Wang Chang is good at leading troops to fight, he can't judge for the time being, but Wang Chang is definitely a general who is good at managing the army.

Entering the Zhongjun tent, Wang Chang took the initiative to invite Liu Xuan to take a seat, but Liu Xuan was also self-aware, so he quickly refused, and the two politely exchanged words for a while, and the guests and hosts sat down.

Liu Xuan asked: "I heard that General Wang has been in Nanjun, I don't know why he suddenly entered Nanyang this time?" ”

Nanyang, Nanjun, Jiangxia, Lingling, Guiyang, Wuling, Changsha, Zhangling and Nanxiang, which are famous as Jingxiang Nine Counties.

The Xiajiang Army, led by Wang Chang and Cheng Dan, has never developed in Nanyang, but has wandered around Nanjun.

The development of the Xiajiang Army in Nanjun was not all smooth sailing, and it also attracted great attention from the imperial court.

Wang Mang once sent Yan You and Chen Mao, two generals, to lead the Jingshi army into Nanjun and break the Xiajiang army. This big defeat made Wang Chang and Cheng Dan almost lose their lives.

Later, Wang Chang and Cheng Dan fled to Puxi, gathered the remnants, regrouped, and won several big battles in a row.

The successive victories of the Xiajiang army alarmed Jingzhou Mu, who personally led the government army to Tangxiang and fought to the death with the Xiajiang army, as a result, Jingzhou Mu was defeated by the Xiajiang army.

Before forming an alliance with the Zhutian Army, the biggest enemy encountered by the Pinglin Army and the Xinshi Army in Nanyang was the County Army, but they were defeated by the County Army and fled in a hurry.

However, the Xiajiang army was in Nanjun, facing the Jingshi army and the government army of the state capital.

Except for the defeat at the hands of Yan You and Chen Mao, the Xiajiang army has never been defeated, and even the government army of Jingzhou Mansion has been defeated by them.

It was precisely because of the defeat of the Jingzhou army that the Xiajiang army proudly penetrated Nanjun and successfully entered Nanyang.

In terms of combat power, the Xiajiang Army is definitely not inferior to the Zhutian Army, and it is far above the Xinshi Army and the Pinglin Army.

Wang Chang only mentioned the achievements of the Xiajiang Army in Nanjun, and did not say much, he focused on why he wanted to enter Nanyang.

Nanyang is the largest county in Jingxiang Nine Counties, with heavy production, tax and product resources, if the Green Forest Army wants to survive for a long time and make a difference, it must have Nanyang such a rich base area.

This is also the profound experience of the Xiajiang Army after fighting a round in Nanjun.

This time, Wang Chang led his troops into Nanyang, just to join forces with the Xinshi Army, the Pinglin Army, and the Zhutian Army, and to show his strength and make a difference in Nanyang.

After listening to Wang Chang's wishes, Liu Xuan nodded secretly, no wonder the younger brother praised Wang Chang a lot, Wang Chang's vision was far inferior to Wang Kuang and Chen Mu.

He said with a straight face: "General Wang is far-sighted, Bosheng admires!" Having a virtuous general like General Wang is a blessing for the Green Forest Army, and it is also a blessing for us! ”

It's rare for Liu Xuan to praise someone like this, and even Wang Chang is a little embarrassed. He looked up and smiled, waved his hand again and again, and said: "The general has praised it falsely, and he is ashamed!" Liu Xuan said: "The existing 100,000 Beijing division army in Nanyang, has approached the Jianyang controlled by our side, eyeing the tiger, ready to attack, General Wang Kuang, General Chen Mu cowardly, led Xinshi, Pinglin two armies have withdrawn to the south of Jianyang, I don't know General Wang's this

How do you see it? ”

Wang Chang had a faint smile on his face, pondered for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What does the general think?" Liu Xuan frowned secretly and said: "If Thorn Yang is lost, Shuyang is bound to be unprotected, and next, the situation will be completely out of control, and the cities and counties controlled by our side will fall one after another." Giving in will not keep us alive for longer

, will only give up the good situation and hasten our own demise! ”

The expression on Wang Chang's face did not change, he was still happy, but he praised it in his heart!

He said with a sad face: "It's just a 100,000 reckless army, and the soldiers have arrived in Jianyang, which is menacing, and our army is less than 50,000, and they are defending Jianyang, once they are trapped, there is a danger that the whole army will be annihilated!" ”

Liu Xuan turned his head and looked at Liu Jia, who understood, took out a map, and spread it on the table in front of Wang Chang. Liu Xuan got up, sat down directly opposite Wang Chang, pointed to the map, and said, "This is the layout of the Mang army......

This time, Liu Jiu and Wang Chang met in the morning, and the two chatted in the tent until noon, and then, Liu Jiu didn't even eat lunch, so he took Liu Ji and Liu Jia and hurried back to Jianyang.

However, before Liu Jiu left, Wang Chang solemnly promised that he would lead the Xiajiang army to Jianyang and join forces with the Zhutian army to fight against the Mang army.

Wang Chang decided to lead the army to participate in the Battle of Thornyang, which made Cheng Dan and Zhang Wei surprised and puzzled, and they didn't know what kind of confusion medicine Liu Xuan poured into Wang Chang.

The two found Wang Chang and asked him why he wanted to defend Thorn Yang with Zhu Tianjun.

There are only about 5,000 people on his side, and there are only five or six thousand people in the Zhutian Army, together with more than 10,000 people, plus 30,000 people from the second army of Pinglin and Xinshi, a total of less than 50,000 people, how can it be the opponent of the 100,000 reckless army? Besides, if so many people are stubbornly defending the thorny sun, how many days will they be able to eat the grain and grass in the city? Isn't this self-defeating?
