Gao Yihuan occupies Xiangfan, and those cottage leaders are naturally the targets he wants to eradicate.

He was originally going to boil the frogs in warm water, and slowly collect these people for his own use, not wanting some of the green forest heroes here to be very slippery, all of them are human spirits.

The western army is going north, this is Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, two big thieves, who want to start a war, it is a fight between the gods, and they don't want to wade into this troubled water.

These bandits just want to guard their own one-third of an acre of land and live a free life, and they don't want to get involved in the fight between the two thieves.

Even if they join, they are only at the level of cannon fodder, so why bother?

The heroes of the green forest are unreliable, and Gao Yihuan can only use his own 5,000 people, plus the 6,000 people in the king's body, and finally tens of thousands of villagers.

These villagers can only be strong, and the king's body is also an unstable factor, and the form is very grim!

Gao Yihuan said with a calm face: "Those bandit leaders, how many people are willing to follow me?" ”

"There were only seven or eight people, and the rest were vague, and some of them didn't see it." Zhao Zhuzi was a little angry, "These gang of forced people are playful, they eat and take, they say good things, they call themselves heroes, but they can't count on them at critical moments." ”

Gao Yihuan listened to Zhao Zhuzi's words, and scolded secretly in his heart, his mother was split, and he drank seventy or eighty tables the day before yesterday.

At this time, Gao Yihuan groaned slightly, he had changed his previous thoughts, and he said coldly: "Since they have eaten Lao Tzu's food and taken Lao Tzu's silver, how can Lao Tzu let them stay out of the matter." ”

Gao Yihuan looked at Zhao Zhuzi, "Zhuzi, you give me a word, in the Xiangyang territory, all the bandits, those who don't listen to Lao Tzu's orders in everything, are my Gao Yihuan's enemies, and they are against Da Shun, and when Lao Tzu kills Zhang Xianzhong, the cottage will be wiped out!" ”

At the moment of fighting for Xiangyang, there are still people who want to be the head of the wall and want to stay out of the matter, which is obviously impossible.

didn't listen to the good words, Gao Yihuan directly forced them to express their position, whether to follow Zhang Xianzhong, or follow him, and let the heroes choose for themselves.

The current situation of struggle is that either the east wind overpowers the west wind or the west wind overpowers the east wind, and there is no centrist.

This is a special time, not a friend, then an enemy.

"Okay!" These words lifted his anger, Zhao Zhuzi howled, turned around and left.

At this time, Gao Yihuan called Huang San again and ordered: "Bingzhong, two thousand infantry troops, and maybe seven or eight other bandit leaders, I will hand them over to you and Shizhao, and the two of you will immediately go to prepare for the defense of Xiangyang." ”

Huang San was surprised when he heard this, didn't he say that he wanted to fight with the Western Army with all his strength when he was discussing the matter just now?

"General, there are 20,000 people in the Western Army, we only have 5,000 people in total, and the rest of the horses are not very reliable, the general left 2,000 brothers, in case of fighting, I am afraid that there will be insufficient troops." Huang San reminded Gao Yihuan.

Gao Yihuan smiled, "Don't worry, just do the things I explained, I have my own measure!" ”

Huang San could only say, "Yes!" "I also hurried to prepare.

Next, Gao Yihuan found Xinghao again, and also instructed him a few words, asking him to gather the villagers outside the city into the city, the young and strong stayed in Xiangyang, and the old and weak families were sent to Fancheng, and the same was true on the side of the Tukou.

After finishing these, Zhao Zhuzi had already returned, and his face was full of smiles, "Second brother, as soon as the group of birds heard the second brother's cruel words, the whole fucking changed their faces again, saying that they wanted the second brother to be the first to take the lead and fight with Zhang Xianzhong." ”

This is expected by Gao Yihuan, Zhang Xianzhong's reputation is very loud, but after all, he is only a king of the West, and his territory is only in Wuchang, where can he compare with Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng is now the Emperor of Dashun, occupying Guanzhong and Henan, Gao Yihuan pulled his banner, forced these mountain kings to make a choice, and did not give them a chance to sway left and right.

In short, if you don't follow Lao Tzu to do Zhang Xianzhong, you are the enemy of the Dashun army, let them do it themselves.

As soon as these bandits saw that Gao Yihuan was so domineering, they couldn't prevaricate or hide, so they could only sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman.

Gao Yihuan nodded, signaling that he understood, but at this time, there was a report from his own soldiers at the door, "General, Song Chengjiang from Maqushan asks to see you." ”

Gao Yihuan snorted coldly, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and said, "Pillar, you go and deal with it." ”

Zhao Zhuzi hurriedly walked out, and after a while, a voice came into the lobby outside, "Brother Zhao, I'm in the morning, you help me bring a message to the general, I'm Ma Quzhai, only the general is the first to look forward, and Zhang Xianzhong is an egg." ”

After a while, a few more bandits ran over, all of whom had disappeared since hearing the wind before.

At this time, they were intimidated by Gao Yihuan, how dare they be enemies with Dashun, so they suddenly appeared one by one and took the initiative to come to see Gao Yihuan.

In short, he made up his mind to help him fight, and Gao Yihuan was naturally not interested in seeing them, so he left it all to Zhao Zhuzi to deal with.

Before the time of departure, there were fifty or sixty Tukou, saying that they would go on the expedition with Gao Yihuan, Gao Yihuan roughly estimated, not counting his 3,000 people, 6,000 people in the king's body, and there were nearly 30,000 Tukou alone.

Gao Yihuan immediately made a decision, just these bandits, plus him and Wang Tizhong, a total of 40,000 people, went to face Li Dingguo, and as for the villagers who were originally going to cheer, they were left in Xiangyang.

Although there are tens of thousands of these villagers, if they really fight, they will not do anything, but will disturb the army.

Gao Yihuan made an excuse and kept them.

In September, autumn is in full swing, but the weather is unusual, and the morning is bone-chilling.

Twenty miles on the outskirts of Xiangyang, the Han River rushes southward, then joins the Yangtze River, and returns to the sea in the east.

At this time, by the Hanshui River, a large piece of wasteland overgrown with withered grass suddenly appeared a crowd.

Gao Yihuan rode in front, followed by two generals, Xu Heihu on the left, Zhao Zhuzi on the right, and then a big banner with a wind, and three thousand high-ranking soldiers on war horses.

The spears in the hands of the cavalry are intertwined, like a forest of steel, wanting to devour everything, and they look like strong soldiers.

On both sides of the cavalry, there were infantry troops coming from the wilderness, Wang Tizhong and Wang Deren each led 3,000 people, around Gao Yihuan, and the periphery was the green forest heroes who followed from the wilderness.

At this time, Gao Yihuan waved his hand, and the cavalry behind him all stopped, and the order was forbidden, and the infantry and bandits on both sides rushed forward a few steps and dozens of steps before stopping.

More than 40,000 people naturally formed a crescent formation in the wilderness.

The bandits on both sides stood together in a chaotic manner with various forms of troops, spears, dung forks, broadswords, and everything.

The Western Army has not yet arrived, and these heroes in the green forests of the mixed rivers and lakes are talking about the fame of the rivers and lakes, and most of them have heard of each other's names, but they are to see them.

At this time, they took advantage of the gap before the start of the battle, and they greeted each other and talked and laughed.

Gao Yihuan on the side had a serious face, and the soldiers behind him were also as silent as death.

"Second brother, they're here!" Behind him, Zhao Zhuzi suddenly pointed to the black line that appeared in front of him and said excitedly.
