Chapter 196 Gaoyou Alliance (Part 1)

As soon as the words came to a silence, the whole room suddenly became silent. Everyone closed their mouths, and only heavy breathing sounds flowed in the air.

Whether it is Zhao Junyong, the current general manager of Guide, or Zhu Bashiyi, the general manager of Huaidong, they were originally subordinates of Sesame Li. So far, both of them have regarded themselves as Sesame Li's subordinates. Although in fact, both forces have long been in a semi-independent state.

If we follow the proposed standards of Lu Luzeng just now, we should cut off the power we can't control as soon as possible. Zhu Bashiyi is probably dead for many times. Zhao Jun's fate may be better than him, but his head has been hung on the wall of Xuzhou City for at least half a year, and it is impossible for him to live until now.

In other words, Sesame Li's mind is broad enough to have long established the Guide Army and Huaian Army today, and thus the Xu Huai faction that dominated one side. Otherwise, Zhao Junyong and Zhu Bashiyi would not have the chance to get to where they are today. Sesame Li himself would not have the capital to be on par with Liu Futong.

This past history is very clear, and no one with a conscience can deny it. It’s just that Sesame Li has never made any contribution and has never tried to interfere in the internal affairs of the Zhao and Zhu families. Zhao and Zhu also cautiously maintain their superficial respect for Sesame Li and never try to position themselves above Sesame Li. The helmsmen of the three families tacitly maintained their current relationship, and no one took the initiative to poke a certain layer of window paper.

But Mao Gui, the chief manager of Mengcheng, in desperation, lifted the truth behind the window paper out! For a moment, he told everyone not to feel embarrassed?! Mao Gui himself, after he found the atmosphere in the house was strange, he regretted that he wanted to hit the wall with his head. He stood up with a blushing face for a long time before adding embarrassedly: "I, I'm just an example. In fact, I want to say, I want to say that Senior Lu's worries are purely unnecessary. Looking at the Red Turban in the world, who is not like this? They are all trustworthy bosses, with a group of brothers under them. Each brother himself has a smaller group. This layered layer of layers has caused the Red Turban Army to be today. If you are too serious, you will take advantage of the loopholes by the court!" (Note 1)

These explanations are purely a desire to cover up, but they are better than nothing. At least when Fu Youde, Zhu Bashiyi and others heard it, their expressions on their faces became much better. They shook their heads and responded with a dry smile, "That's not the case. At present, the main energy should be placed on the Tartars!"

"Well, the foreign humiliation has not gone, how can brothers bear to be killed by flesh and blood?!"

"Mr. Mao is right. If you want to achieve great things, you must have the mind to achieve great things. If your mind is too narrow, it will not be possible!"

"Actually, I think that Zhang Shicheng's character may not be reliable!" Mao Gui just wanted to get rid of the awkward atmosphere in front of him as soon as possible, so he quickly took the initiative to distract the topic elsewhere, "But since he had just made great contributions and was crying and shouting to follow Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu might as well accept him first. If he was willing to sincerely follow Brother Zhu, go to Jiangnan to expand territory, or stay in Jiangbei to maintain the place, he would always be useful. If one day he found out that he was half-hearted and even did something to blame for fame and fortune, Brother Zhu would take him down, outsiders would probably not be able to say anything. After all, with the attack power of the Huai'an Army at present, ordinary characters may not be able to hold on in front of you."

"That's right!" Everyone smiled and nodded. Obviously, no one wanted to repeat some previous topics.

"In addition, I want to remind everyone!" Mao Gui smiled and continued to extend his chore to the distance. "It was expected that Gaoyou City was taken down by us in one go. The serious officers and soldiers of the entire Gaoyou Mansion were only more than 10,000 yuan. The rest were two mobs that Qi Zhedu and Li Qi temporarily pieced together, and their combat power was almost negligible. But the next battle might not be so easy. Yangzhou is the same road. The territory is three times that of Gaoyou, and the military strength is much stronger than Gaoyou. And the king of Zhennan Boluo Buhua is still a person who knows how to use troops. If he hadn't been cold by the Tartar Emperor in the past two years, he would have been attacked by our doorstep with his troops. It was not our turn to provoke him!"

"That's true!" When talking about the upcoming war, the atmosphere in the room immediately became lively. Everyone said something, and I said something, and they all offered suggestions to Zhu Bashiyi, "Boluo Buhua has won many victories before, so we really can't underestimate him."

"In addition to the officers and soldiers, he also has two other Yi soldiers who have been formed for more than two years, one is called Qing Army and the other is called Huang Army, with a scale of about 20,000. The leader of the Qing Army is a descendant of the Han Army general, named Zhang Mingjian, and is nicknamed the Marshal of the Long Spear. The chief general of the Huang Army is Wang Xuan, who is also from the general. He is good at using a sabre to kill a sabre, and is known as the General of the Big Sword. These two groups of soldiers, one of whom was ordered to stay in Taizhou and the other is stationed in Liuhe. If there were police in Yangzhou, they would definitely come over to support them all night."

"It would be best if they could be forced into Yangzhou City. With the iron armored vehicles and gunpowder in our hands, no matter how thick the city wall is, it would not be able to withstand a few explosions. If the city wall is destroyed, the morale of the defenders will drop at least half!"

"We are not afraid of field battles. Although we suffer a little loss in the number of people here, we are not much smaller than the enemy. Moreover, the Qing army, Huang army and Boluo rarely spend their own troops and horses to go out together, and their cooperation may not guarantee a tacit understanding!"

"But we are not going anywhere. The soldiers of General Manager Guo and Governor Sun are still not sure where to be delayed!"

The last sentence was said by Wu Liangmou accidentally. Then, the atmosphere in the room became strange again, and everyone's breathing was clearly heard.

The five coalition forces went up the canal. When they first formulated the strategy, Zhu Bashiyi's idea was very perfect. However, it was a bit ridiculous when it was implemented. So far, the Guide Army, Suzhou Army and Huai'an Army were still the three companies with the same spirit. The remaining two companies, Guo Zixing and Sun Deya's troops, were not only unable to help, but because of the marching speed and military discipline, Zhu Bashiyi had to divide some of his strength from his subordinates to "take care of" them. In order to avoid the two uncles Guo and Sun being crazy and suddenly had the idea of ​​the prosperous and prosperous Huaidong Road. In that case, even if the start was smooth, Zhu Bashiyi would have to turn around and save his nest first.

"I still think that it's not a big deal to stay so confused!" After a while of silence, Mr. Lu Lu Zenglu, who had been refuted by Mao Gui, spoke stubbornly again, "I really admire Mr. Li's demeanor! We all see the respect that Mr. Li and Mr. Li have on their respect for Mr. Li. But the three of them can be called righteous gentlemen. They can be loyal to each other. If they are others, it may not be possible. At least I have put Guo Zixing and Sun Deya behind me, but I have never felt at ease!"

"The old man said it very well!" This time, Mao Gui did not refute Lu Luzeng. On the contrary, he helped the old Jinshi, "Of course, you can reciprocate between gentlemen. If you meet those guys who are not very gentlemen, you can have some ugly words, and it is not an exaggeration to say them before!"

"They are indeed a bit too much!" Fu Youde was also very despised at the delay between Guo Zixing and Sun Deya. At the beginning, it was agreed that the five companies would join forces, but now it has become the leader of three companies, and the other two companies just follow behind to share dividends. Youxin suggested not to give them it, which may be unreasonable in terms of face. However, everyone fought hard to take away 20% of the money and food from the government for no reason. Thinking about it, it was really a loss.

"There are more than 30,000 prisoners except Zhang Jiusi!" Seeing that everyone did not refute their words, Lu Lu thought for a while and continued, "There may be some people willing to take the travel expenses home. But there are definitely some people who want to imitate Zhang Jiusi and form a team to harbor under the wings of our Huaian Army. What if they propose tomorrow, will the governor agree to them? If these 30,000 or 40,000 people are not settled, everyone may not be able to leave Gaoyou. Otherwise, as soon as we leave, countless fires will definitely be lit on the road!"

This question is also very practical, which makes everyone frown and think deeply. Since ancient times, the placement of surrendered troops has been a very big trouble. These people are familiar with basic weapons operations and have undergone rough training. Whether they are organized, cooperative and combat power, they are far superior to ordinary people. As long as someone dares to take the lead and shout, they can attract a vote of followers. Then whether they occupy the mountain as king or become a bandit, they will pose a great threat to the local area. Therefore, it is easy to solve when the number of surrendered troops is small, and once the number is too large, it is impossible to pass it off by paying the road. Otherwise, after the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu sent 200,000 Qin troops home alone, so why kill them all?!

"Don't worry, I won't mention it if I kill someone. I'll mention it. I guess no one of you guys will agree!" Before everyone present came up with a solution, the old master smiled and shook his head and said, "I just want to propose that for Guo Zixing, Sun Deya, Zhang Shicheng and others, everyone should take advantage of the recent concerted efforts and discuss a specific constitution. Then, I will take the blood and follow this constitution in the future. In this way, whether it is a gentleman or a villain, there is no need to be too careful with each other. Once there is a problem with cooperation, everyone has a principle that can be referred to!"

Note 1: Most of the peasant uprising troops in history were very chaotic. Among them, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Yuan Shizhong and others were all independent hills under his command. As a result, Li Zicheng had to cut off the two of them later. Until modern times, many warlord troops could not straighten out the internal relationship. The more famous Feng Yuxiang's troops were also under the command of the east and west. They were nominally his generals, but when they wanted to rebel, many people did not hesitate.
