Linxiang City, dozens of miles away, like Yuezhou, local officials, soldiers and civilians fled after learning that the Xian bandits were attacked. Now there are tens of thousands of bandits stationed in Linxiang City, with soldiers coming out every day and plundering the people everywhere. However, in just a few days, there were as many as 100,000 soldiers and horses inside and outside Linxiang City, not including those who fled at night every day.

Feng Shuangli received the news in the middle of the night and asked quickly:

"How many officials are coming?"

The horse soldiers who were killed and retreated by more than a hundred cavalrymen did not see how many official troops were, but they still exaggerated:

"I'm afraid there are more than tens of thousands of people."

Tens of thousands of people!

Feng Shuangli asked again.

"Do you know who is the commander of the army?"

The leader of the horse soldier said:

"The government army did not use the banner and did not distinguish it."

After thinking about it, Feng Shuangli nodded and said:

"You go and rest first."

Di Sanpin said:

"It should be the officers and soldiers from Wuchang. There are only more than 10,000 people, and we can eat them even if we do."

Someone immediately echoed:

"That's right, the king asked us to try our best to plunder people. If they attacked while we plunder people, we will suffer the loss at that time. Let's eat this official army first. At that time, no matter how many official army there are, they dare not move."

Feng Shuangli retorted:

"It's not a question of whether to eat or not. Don't forget that there are Zuo Liangyu's 200,000 officers and soldiers in Wuchang City. If we destroy this group, if his 200,000 army pounces on us, we will suffer."

Di Sanpin said funny:

"What's so scary about Zuo Liangyu? It's not that he has never dealt with him. What do the officers and soldiers in the world look like? It's not that everyone has never seen it. They are all cowards. Even Zuo Liangyu, we threw Wuchang to him. If the emperor had not issued a strict order, how could he dare to go out to attack Wuchang? Elite soldiers? What do the officers and soldiers we have seen look like? We don't know, anyway, all the officers and soldiers we have seen are bad soldiers!"

This is very reasonable and true.

Although it was the truth, Feng Shuangli still said cautiously.

"What I'm worried about is that the more than 10,000 people in front of us, we can eat this group of people as long as we want. What's the big deal? But what if it's Zuo Liangyu's vanguard? There are 200,000 people under his command! Immediately send a visitor and check it around."

These bandits have been in the heart of the Ming Dynasty for many years and have been "spoiled" by the officials along the way, and do not take Zhu Guoqiang's thousands of soldiers seriously at all.

In their eyes, only Zuo Liangyu's main force of 200,000 troops can make them look up to the top. Not only Feng Shuangli, but also in Zhang Xianzhong's eyes.

When he learned that Zuo Liangyu led a 100,000 army to fight towards Yuezhou, he heard that the military advisor Xu Yixian and others seemed a little worried, and Zhang Xianzhong laughed:

"What are you going to worry about? He is our defeated general. He can't bite our bird!"

He can't bite our bird!

Whether it is arrogant or confident.

Although Zhang Xianzhong looked down on Zuo Liangyu, he still made some preparations. After all, Zuo Liangyu has an army of 100,000 under his command.

Military advisor Xu Yixian mentioned that he should send troops to guard at some intersections near Yuezhou to prevent sneak attacks by the government. As a military advisor to Zhang Xianzhong's army, Xu Yixian has always been highly regarded by Zhang Xianzhong. Moreover, he had great political ambitions. He wanted to assist Zhang Xianzhong to win the world, and he also compared himself to Zhuge Liang. In history, he should have drowned when he conquered Yuezhou, but some changes have occurred here.

Not only did he not die, he was still alive. When he learned that Zuo Liangyu was leading his troops over, he naturally persuaded the king to be careful.

Listening to the military advisor's advice, Zhang Xianzhong laughed:

"Old Xu, don't worry too much. You don't know that Zuo Liangyu's grandson, last time we relied on money and a letter to let him open the Internet. Haven't you seen his style clearly? In my opinion, Lao Zuo is just doing it this time. This time the emperor sent the General Pinglu. Although the court did not dare to kill the general who held military power, the military advisor, the General Pinglu is different. Maybe he is looking for an opportunity to kill a general to gain power for himself? He wants to attack but is afraid of being incompetent? So I guess, Lao Zuo also understands this. If he does not move his troops, it is equivalent to giving the General Pinglu an excuse. Now he has moved, he dare not take risks. Now the general of the court is not just thinking about maintaining his position. Their best strategy is to support the troops and wait and see, and the worst strategy is to fight hard. Lao Zuo is not obsessed with ghosts!"

Zhang Kewang also nodded frequently and said:

"What my father said is very true. With Zuo Liangyu's character, he must be helpless, so he wanted to take the imperial court before the Pinglu General came and see it. He might not dare to really fight with us. Otherwise, if we have been evacuated from Wuchang for so long, how could we have taken Wuchang now?"

Xu Yixian shook her head and said:

"Otherwise, otherwise, Zuo Liangyu has been through a long battle. Since he was forced to launch a military force due to helplessness, he must also know that just because he was like a good person, the Pinglu General would definitely not be able to explain it. Old Zuo must want to win a battle quickly and see the Pinglu General. In the matter of war, you must be prepared for any accidents to avoid being caught off guard."

Zhang Xianzhong laughed and patted Xu Yixian's shoulder, saying:

"My good military advisor! Don't you think about it. We are now 400,000 soldiers and strong morale. Lao Zuo was afraid of me like a tiger. Why should he come to the tiger's head now? He was originally a selfish person. He couldn't pee in the same pot as the General Pinglu, and let him do it. He would definitely be fine. But if he fights with real swords and guns, don't worry, he doesn't have the courage. Our troops don't have much food, so it's important to send small groups of people to get food every day!"

Pan Duao continued:

"The king is aware of the enemy, and he knows himself and his enemy. At present, he is not afraid of the official army coming, but he is afraid of shortage of people and food. He should send more people to harvest grain. Those who harvest more grain will be rewarded, and those who plunder more will be punished. As long as our army has enough food, he will be a bird with the official army!"

The other civil officials also agreed with Zhang Xianzhong's opinion, saying that although the military advisor was resourceful, he did not see clearly that Zuo Liangyu was selfish. He would never take grain from the court, and he came over to fight the Western Army to make a move. Seeing this, Xu Yixian shook his head slightly, but he was still worried, but he didn't want to make Zhang Xianzhong angry, so he stopped talking.

On the afternoon of the second day after Zhang Xianzhong ordered the troops to try their best to harvest food and capture people, two passenger ships sailed from the dock under Yuezhou City. Although they were only two single ships, unexpectedly, the Daxi soldiers on the dock did not flock to grab the ship as usual. Instead, they allowed the ship to lean into the dock under Yuezhou City.

In fact, even bandits cannot do without merchants. They need merchants to buy various supplies for them. After all, some things cannot be stolen casually, such as gunpowder and sulphur that makes gunpowder. And they also need merchants to inform them, so these bandits will always maintain good relationships with some merchants.

Even Zhang Xianzhong, who is famous for being a bad guy, would give some merchants a banner to buy various supplies for themselves. The banner that Zhang Xianzhong gave was hung on this ship.

The officers and soldiers of the Daxi Army who saw the flag would naturally not be stopped by the ship. These people even tried to please these merchants in exchange for some rewards.

After the ship entered the dock, the boss said to the person sitting in the cabin.

"Master, the boat arrived at Yuezhou City."

The master in the cabin nodded in dress, then walked out of the cabin, stepped over the springboard and went ashore, with the servant following behind him.

When he got ashore, the guys also started to work hard. While the guys were busy carrying goods to the shore, the man said to the Daxi Army who was coming to the dock.

"I'll send a message to the king on my behalf, and the villain Xu Shiliang sent a letter to the old friend of Agate Mountain."

While talking, he did not forget to stuff a small piece of silver into the man's hand. Although it was just a small piece of silver, after the man took the silver, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face and he said quickly.

"Oh, I'm polite. I'm polite. I'm polite. I'll take you to the king."

After saying that, he led him into the city...
