Liu Zongmin had long wanted to attack Ruzhou.

He never thought about the problem of being able to defeat the master. From the beginning of following Li Zicheng to the rebellion of the Eighteen Cavalry of Shangluo, he firmly believed that Li Zicheng was a hero who valued friendship. However, Niu Jinxing was more helpful to the front line in the tent, which made him decide to take risks and siege instead of attacking.

As a surprise soldier, it is a taboo to stop the troops at the city. If the enemy is weak, it is not a big problem. If reinforcements come from the enemy, they will inevitably fall into a passive state. This is also because he wants to distribute a battalion of troops to suppress Ruyang, so as to avoid being attacked from being attacked from both sides.

"If it were really the son of the Zhu family in the city, I'm afraid Zuo Liangyu would send troops." Liu Zongmin said worriedly.

"So I said to surround but not attack." Niu Jinxing smiled and said, "As long as we don't attack forcefully, Zuo Liangyu will not be anxious. Only Sun Chuanting is the only one who is anxious. He is the governor of the three sides, and the general in this attack is the only one who carries the backs of the incident."

Liu Zongmin was convinced by Niu Jinxing and said, "I'm afraid that the Jin soldiers will come too. Even if I take Luoyang, I have to spend some effort to manage it."

Niu Jinxing smiled and said, "We don't have to worry about business matters. The marshal still wants to learn from Song Jiang to recruit you. But he has to win the battle first."

Liu Zongmin turned his head and did not look at him, snorted coldly, and said, "It is reasonable to win the battle first. As for whether to recruit or not, the marshal must have his own concerns." Liu Zongmin disliked Niu Jinxing compared the marshal to Song Jiang, especially in the camp, there were rumors that Li Zicheng killed Cao Cao and Luo Rucai because Luo Rucai refused to recruit. This argument undoubtedly made him very angry.

——Song Jiang's guy is just a lie and righteous person. Even Li Kui, who is loyal to him, can kill him. How can he be compared with the marshal?

Liu Zongmin became more and more angry as he thought about it, and said, "I remember how many letters Huang Hu wrote to persuade the marshal to take advantage of the expedient measures. What do you think the marshal said? The marshal said: We are forced to kill officials and rebel. Although we are called thieves by the Zhu Dynasty, we must never be those villains who are easy to reverse! Now that we are powerful, Zuo Liangyu dares not provoke us easily, so how can we bring peace to you?"

"One time, another time," Niu Jinxing smiled, "At that time, you eighteen men were all the same heart. Just by the word "loyalty". How many villains are there around the Marshal who are advocating for recruitment as officials? Even if you are not a monarch and a minister, you are also good friends, but you don't speak, and you are a marshal's misleading by those villains for nothing."

Liu Zongmin knew that Niu Jinxing was trying to win over him. The twenty-two generals of the Five Battalions were all generals with heavy troops, and they also took Tian Jianxiu and herself as their leaders. No matter what those people wanted to do, they had to obtain the support of the generals leading the troops. Niu Jinxing was here to find an alliance and lure him to express his opinion.

"Whether you become an emperor or a king, I just want to fight." Liu Zongmin said: "The decision is with the marshal, but you strategists should think well. But there is one thing I want to explain: Mr. Niu, don't ruin the marshal's affairs for your own selfishness."

Niu Jinxing said with a gloomy face: "General Liu's words are unreasonable. The military order given to you by the Marshal on the day was to let you capture the city of Ruzhou. If I don't come, wouldn't you have already attacked the city now? Maybe you have already sat in the high hall and asked the children of the Zhu family to pour you wine! If I have selfish intentions, just say nothing and do whatever you want. If the marshal then sucked the little prince's dragon tendon, who can still bewitched the marshal's help in the future?"

Liu Zongmin's heart trembled and said to himself: It turns out that the most poisonous one is the scholar. If you really want to capture Prince Zhu in the future, you have to be careful that Niu Jinxing will take action first and then report.

Niu Jinxing relaxed his tone and said, "We have the final say when defeating Qin soldiers at present. Niu has a public heart, but the general regards as a villain. He is really unwilling to accept it."

Liu Zongmin laughed: "Sir, misunderstood me. Zongmin is a rough man. He clearly admires him in his heart, but he spits out all the reckless words. Don't be surprised! Don't be surprised!"

Niu Jinxing pursed his lips slightly and said, "It's good for the general to understand that a certain family has worked hard. The marshal is obviously carrying a strange appearance and has an imperial pattern. The general can also create a family of nobles for a hundred generations. Why give it to others for the sake of the short-sightedness of some villains?"

"Fight this battle first." Liu Zongmin smiled and said, "It should be clear to Jiaxian."

"Gu Junen advised the marshal to abandon Jia County, whether to die or live, it was only in these three or five days." Niu Jinxing was inevitably a little lonely when he talked about Gu Junen. Now Gu Junen is in the limelight, and Li Zicheng obeyed his words, so Niu Jinxing found an excuse to avoid the "enemy" edge.

In fact, he also avoided Li Zicheng to avoid being asked about military strategies.

Niu Jinxing believes that his political strategy and plot are not inferior to others, and even Gu Junen is not as good as him. However, the military strategy is not his strength. If he shows his timidity, he will destroy his image he has worked hard for many years.

——The marshal has been fighting for more than ten years, and he did not discuss the military formation with his counselors. Now he probably has asked for the sweetness and likes to ask for strategies more and more. This is also the credit of his Gu Junen...

Niu Jinxing thought to himself, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but float slightly.

Liu Zongmin didn't know what Niu Jinxing was thinking, but felt that his eyes were cold, and his sneer was really chilling. If it weren't for the sake of working together, he would have wished he could drive the scholar out of the tent.

"Report to the General!" The horse outside the tent shouted: "General Lu's important military report!"

Liu Zongmin's heart tightened for no reason: "Come in and talk."

The Tangma entered the tent, and the sound was not as loud as before: "General, Peking University camp has been broken!"

"Break!" Liu Zongmin bolted up and his eyes widened: "How did it break! How many troops did the other party!"

"The officers and soldiers are around 500." Tang Ma said honestly.

Liu Zongmin slapped the table hard: "I left so many people for Lu Luzi, but I was defeated by five hundred officers and soldiers! Where are others! Why didn't I mention my head to see me!"

"General Lu's whereabouts are unknown..." Tangma's voice became deeper and deeper: "Some people say General Lu was caught, while others say he was killed in the formation... Now it is a mess, and there is no conclusive news."

Liu Zongmin bit his back teeth: "If he really dies, he will be a good idea!"

"Send someone to gather the scattered soldiers first." Niu Jinxing sighed softly: "It is probably because he underestimates the enemy and is greedy for merit."

"The defeated soldiers gathered together are no longer useful." Liu Zongmin said angrily: "Survey the city tomorrow! Otherwise, we will all have to explain here!"

Niu Jinxing reached out and said, "The ancients had a saying of surrounding the points and attacking support, why not use it?"

"Where did we come from to split up the troops to fight aid?" Liu Zongmin's heart flashed through several reasons for "no". Not only was the troops insufficient to withdraw the siege and attack aid, but the turmoil of the army alone was not something that the scholar could understand.

——They were all angry and angry soldiers, who were just full of resentment, and they were dragging them from south to north, saying that they wanted to attack the city but then withdrew to attack the aid... Do you think it was a foolish boy from the neighbor's house to play?

Liu Zongmin thought to himself.

"You can use suspicious soldiers to make a move!" Niu Jinxing said proudly, suddenly feeling that a rough man is not as good as a scholar.

"Surprise the city tomorrow!" Liu Zongmin announced, and glanced at Niu Jinxing: If you don't know anything, you will get involved in random things.

...

"Light a torch and beat the drum. The entire army doesn't care about the soldiers who are under the straits. They camp five miles outside the Liu Zhe camp!" She An rode on the horse and uttered the order loudly. He was not an enthusiastic person, but because he won the battle, he was scolded by his superiors, which made him very...shamed.

It is indeed shame, not grievance.

Because Xiao Mo said everything, She An didn't even have room to defend herself. The most important one: the decision in the military discussion was to let She An serve as the vanguard to test the combat effectiveness of the thieves, and why it evolved into a decisive battle. Although the surprise troops sent did play a key role, this surprise troops should not have been sent out, so the main force of the vanguard was short of frontal forces.

Xiao Mo personally led the Ruyang guards to join the battle, which stabilized the results. Otherwise, even if he defeated the defenders of the treacherous guards, She An would definitely not be able to continue to advance.

As for the false detectives in advance, the loss of troops from a bureau attacked Muzhai was heavy. This was already a small flaw in this command error. This small flaw made She An even more annoyed: Afterwards, he realized that it was a place where a grain merchant in Ruyang privately stored grain. Outside, it was a Tuzhai, but it was full of fortifications inside. He hired a guard guard all year round, and there was also a Franchise who bought a lot of money from the south to guard the guard.

The purpose of building this village is to prevent bandits and officials. Unexpectedly, as soon as the thieves came, the grain merchant gave the village to the thieves like treasures.

As for the civilian who fired the gun, he didn't ask any questions after torture. He just simply hated the official family, so he put crotons in the meals of the soldiers guarding the gun. The guards ate the food he sent every day without being wary, and asked him to help him see it. As a result, he took advantage of the gap between the guards leaving and randomly put out gunpowder to blow the cannon. Although he failed, it led to the enemy camp being alert and even had the idea of ​​pinching soft persimmons.

These two things made She An feel quite turbulent. He considered himself an officer and soldier of the Ming Dynasty, but why was he regarded as a bandit by the Ming people?

The only thing that is to be thankful is that the thief general Lu Xin was captured in this battle. This time, he was a mighty general under the thief. He sent troops with Liu Zongmin this time and knew very well about Liu Zhexuxu and truth. Although he was known as a mighty general, he had no mighty place. As soon as he was captured, he begged for mercy and told everything.

The confession obtained from Lu Xin's mouth was that there were many thieves, and they were definitely not the opponents of officers and soldiers in a row. After an afternoon of casualties, the battle loss ratio was one to four. Among them, Zhen Feiyu's troops were caught off guard and the casualties of the surprise attack team.

In this way, even if Liu Zongmin wants to fight hard, he doesn't have that much capital.
