Yiyang, Henan.

Li Zicheng shook his sleepy head into the conference hall. "I don't know what important military information is, so I'm so anxious to wake me up." He studied the combat plan last night until dawn. He felt that he had just fallen asleep, but was woken up.

Judging from the sky, it should be noon.

It has been half a year since the rebel army arrived in Yiyang. After half a year of operation, Yiyang has become the base camp of the rebel army. Yiyang is located by the Luoshui River and is very close to Luoyang City.

In front of the conference hall, a five-meter-high flagpole was erected, with the big flag of the word "Crazy" flying. Around Yiyang, there are teams of rebels everywhere. There were teams stationed here half a year ago, and there were also many new teams that were constantly coming. Various flags and various people.

Within ten miles of Yiyang alone, there were no less than 50,000 rebels stationed. Not to mention, there were many teams stationed in other surrounding counties outside Luoyang.

Even in Yiyang City, which was guarded by the battle camp, you can hear the sound of people outside through the Yiyang city wall.

There were also people everywhere in the city, and there were old camps of various teams, namely their families. Many children were running and playing on the streets in the city, making them very lively.

Liu Zongmin paced in the conference hall, wearing a bright light armor, a red cloak on his shoulders, and a long knife on his waist.

"General Quan." Li Zicheng greeted him, "What is the important thing?"

"Our detailed work has heard an important news. The government army has had an internal strife. Zhang Laohu and Zuo Crazy started fighting in Yancheng, and even the old Cai Pao from Denglai has arrived." Liu Zongmin took out a letter and said excitedly.

"The government army started fighting by itself?" When Li Zicheng heard the news, he was sleepy and swept away. "Is the news reliable?"

"You can read it yourself. Not only did you report this news in detail, we have received five news about the internal strife of the government army in the city, which should be reliable."

"Very good."

In the past six months, Li Zicheng has entered Henan, and his power has been changing with each passing day and is growing. Last month, Li Zicheng followed the advice of Li Yan, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiancai.

The banner of Fengtian Changyi Camp was officially launched, and the original name of the various camps of the rebel army was changed, and the rebel army was unified as Fengtian Changyi Camp, while Li Zicheng was called Fengtian Changyi Camp.

The General's Office was established. The General was under the General Quan, Deputy General Quan, General Guoyi, General Guoyi, General Guowei, Chief General, Chief Commander, Chief Commander, Chief Commander, Chief Commander, and Chief Commander of the First to Ninth-rank military generals.

The rebellion army was reorganized into five battalions in the front, back, left and right, with one general, one general, one general, and one general in the fifth battalion, and one general in each battalion. Li Zicheng was the general, and Liu Zongmin was the general.

Li Yan was the deputy general of the Central Camp. Because the central camp was the largest and also known as the Biaoying, the main general of the Central Camp was one level higher than the normal general and was the deputy general. Secondly, Zhang Ding was the general of Biaozheng and Weiwu, Dang Shousu was the deputy general of the General of the General of the Central Camp, Xin Sizhong was the general of the Biao Zuo Weiwu, Gu Ke became the general of the Biao Zuo Guoyi, Li You was the general of the Biao You, Ren Jirong was the general of the former General of the Biao, and Wu Ruyi was the general of the Biao Houguoyi.

The Zuoying camp used Liu Fangliang as the commander general. Ma Shiyao was the Zuo Guoyi, and Liu Rukui was the right powerful general.

In the right camp, Tian Jianxiu was the commanding general, Bai Jiuhe was the left Guoyi, and Liu Tichun was the right Guoyi.

The front camp used Yuan Zongdi as the commander general, Xie Junyou was the left Guoyi, and Tian Hu was the right Guoyi.

The rear camp used Li Guo as the general, Zhang Neng as the left Guoyi, and Ma Chongxi as the right Guoyi.

Among them, there are 100 models of the central camp, 130 teams of the fourth battalion on the left, front and back, and 230 teams of the fifth battalion. Each team of cavalry has fifty people, thirty or forty people, and each team of infantry has one hundred to one hundred and fifty people.

The fifth battalion has a total of 60,000 horses and 20,000 horses and mules.

They basically controlled Henan Prefecture and Ruzhou. They appointed officials at all levels such as prefectures, prefectures and prefectures to maintain order and establish rule.

This does not include some small groups of people who have not been incorporated into the trench army. There are still many teams around Luoyang.

Li Zicheng followed the advice of Li Yan and others and established the General's Mansion. After sending officials from various prefectures and counties, he did not rush to fight Luoyang. After failing to siege Luoyang half a year ago, Li Zicheng retreated back to Yiyang, and then continued to send troops to siege Luoyang, while starting to strengthen his rule over the controlled area.

He collected food and grass, made equipment, and even began to send people to farm, as he planned to siege Luoyang for a long time and even establish a long-term regime.

For more than half a year, Li Zicheng has been worried about the Chu army in Hubei coming to Luoyang. Last year, Li Zicheng went out of Shaanxi to attack Yunyang. He thought that the Yunyang defenders were just a rural soldier under the banner of regiment training, but in the end, they were beaten to pieces and lost thousands of combat soldiers.

The losses were quite heavy, which made Li Zicheng feel extremely distressed. Fortunately, after they retreated into Henan, Zhang Shan did not lead his troops to pursue him.

"What is the detailed situation? Does anyone know?" Li Zicheng asked.

"I heard that a subordinate of Zuo Liangyu rushed into Huangzhou Prefecture, Hubei some time ago and looted a small town, which made Zhang Shan angry. Recently, Zuo Liangyu stationed troops in Yancheng, and Zhang Shan led his troops to block Zuo Liangyu, and then sued Zuo Liangyu in the name of Henan Suppression General Office, asked Shangfang's sword to kill Zuo Liangyu on the spot."

"Is Zuo Liangyu killed?" Li Zicheng was surprised. Zuo Liangyu was an old opponent of the Chuangjun. He once chased the rebels to kill him. It was not until the second half of last year that the Chuangjun changed his attitude of being beaten and finally defeated Zuo Liangyu several times after he got the addition of Li Yan and other advisers and many military officers of the former imperial guards.

But Zuo Liangyu's strength has always been preserved. He has at least 80,000 to 90,000 troops and 200,000 officers and soldiers. He has always been a mountain above the heads of the rebel army.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Liangyu, who was once called Grandpa Zuo by the rebel army, died like this.

"Where is the troops under Zuo Liangyu?" Li Zicheng suddenly was very worried. Compared to Zuo Liangyu, he was more afraid of the Chu army, fearing Zhang Shan, the general of Huguang. The last time he was defeated in Yunyang, he still remembers the strength of the Chu army. Once Zuo Liangyu died, if the Chu army annexed Zuo Liangyu's troops, the Chu army would have no worries and go north with all their might, then they would be in trouble.

"Brother, don't worry. Zhang Laohu killed Zuo Liangyu and wanted to annex the Henan soldiers in a trend. As a result, Zuo Liangyu had a high prestige in the Henan soldiers. As a result, the Henan soldiers mutiny and fought against the two sides. Zhang Laohu couldn't control it, so he had to quickly summon General Cai Laopao, the general of Denglai, to deal with the Henan soldiers. Now the two sides are fighting in the Yingshui area. I heard that Huguang and Denglai have joined forces, but they did not take much advantage and suffered a lot of losses."

Li Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Dog bites a dog, and a mouthful of hair, that's good, let them bite each other."

I sat down and thought for a while, "But we have to step up our actions. I guess the Henan soldiers rely on their temporary courage. After all, they will not be opponents of the Chu army. We cannot wait for the Chu army to solve the Henan soldiers and come over. Our preparations have been done almost. In more than half a year, the periphery of Luoyang has been cleared and the siege equipment has been built very well. After half a year of siege, the defenders in Luoyang City are almost collapsed and there is insufficient food. I think it is time to launch the final blow and take Luoyang in one fell swoop."

"If we take Luoyang and have this strong city, we don't have to be so afraid of the Chu army."

Henan, Yancheng.

Zuo Liangyu's 80,000 army has been disbanded. Zuo Liangyu, with the order to be transferred to the military region outside the pass and the general of Ningyuan, has led 10,000 selected subordinates to set sail north.

The remaining 70,000 people, 20,000 were selected and retained. They were reorganized with the 10,000 people transferred by the Chu army into a new Kaifeng Town. They belonged to the Central Plains Military Region and were under the command of Cai Yuan, the admiral of the Central Plains Military Region. They were also under the command of Zhang Shan, the commander of the Central Plains bandit suppression commander.

The remaining 50,000 people were recruited by the merchants after receiving severance payments.

The bustling Yancheng has fewer than tens of thousands of troops, but there are still many soldiers and horses stationed there.

Huguang Town, Denglai Town, Kaifeng Town, and the three towns still gathered tens of thousands of people here.

"Transfer Kaifeng Town to Kaifeng for training, this battle won't work for them." Zhang Shan said to Cai Yuan.

"Okay, listen to you. Bringing them with you is just a burden to the logistics. Without half a year, it will be difficult for them to form a lot of combat power. Let them withdraw back to Kaifeng and train well." Cai Yuan didn't want to bring this newly reorganized Kaifeng Town.

When the Chu army fights, it has never been based on quantity.

Moreover, even without Kaifeng Town, the Chu army in Yancheng still has two divisions, which together is a reorganized town, the Sixth Association has 30,000 troops.

With so many soldiers, it is enough to deal with Li Zicheng.

The two towns each left two soldiers and horses in the town. Because they each selected one soldiers and horses to reorganize and establish a new Kaifeng Town, the two towns would also recruit another five thousand soldiers in the towns.

"The thief probably thought we were having sex with Zuo Liangyu now, so he was very happy." Cai Yuan smiled. Cai Yuan and Zhang Shan had both formed a charity with Liu Jun. Now Cai Yuan is the admiral of the Central Plains Military Region and the general of Denglai, while Zhang Shan is the admiral of the Chuanhu Military Region and the general of Huguang. Both have equal positions, and they are both former generals.

However, Zhang Shan also had a commander-in-chief of the Central Plains bandit suppression, responsible for the bandit suppression in Sichuan, Lake and Central Plains. Therefore, although Cai Yuan was a landlord in this bandit suppression campaign, he still had to obey Zhang Shan's command and arrangements.

"I'm not tired of cheating, let alone our brothers in the intelligence system are really powerful."

"I think the most powerful thing is that the prince planned it well. One million silver dollars plus one admiral outside the pass will let Zuo Liangyu disperse 80,000 troops overnight. Who can think of this ability? The thieves will definitely not expect it. Therefore, the brothers in the intelligence system spread a rumor that we fought with Zuo Liangyu, and the thieves believed it."

"Hahaha." Both brothers laughed.

"Let your brothers have a good rest for a night, and make meals at the fourth and fifths tomorrow. We will give the thieves a big surprise!" Zhang Shan looked in the direction of Luoyang and said with a smile. (To be continued.)
