Outside the central army's tent, the guards of Zuo Liangyu were guarding each other, and others were strictly prohibited from approaching.

In the central army tent, Zuo Liangyu and a group of confidant generals were there, but Liu Guoneng, who had been reused by him these days.

Seeing this posture, Zhang Yong and others knew that the Grandmaster had a very confidential matter to discuss. For some reason, they felt excited in their hearts, staring at Zuo Liangyu and listening to him.

Zuo Liangyu first glanced at his son Zuo Menggeng, then glanced at the generals below, and said slowly: "We and those thieves are not the same as each other. I believe that you should have felt it all these days!"

Not only were Zuo Liangyu being excluded when discussing matters with other thieves leaders, but even the generals below also felt the hostility from other thieves. In the final analysis, they had fought for many years, so it was impossible for Zuo Liangyu to become a thieves and everything in the past would disappear.

In fact, Zuo Liangyu's subordinates actually looked down on those thieves. If it weren't for the situation, they wouldn't be happy to hang out with these thieves who were chased and killed by them back then.

Therefore, when he heard Zuo Liangyu clarify the topic, Zhang Yong and others were immediately exploded and began to curse the thieves one by one. Anyway, they were all disliked. If they hadn't taken into account the overall situation, they would have drawn their swords long ago.

After hearing this, Zuo Menggeng suddenly understood why his father and commander didn't call Liu Guoneng over today.

After Zuo Liangyu waited for them to vent for a while, he said seriously: "Now the emperor is surrounded by the city, with a hundred miles around, at least not a large-scale Ming army has appeared. It is estimated that the speed of the court is still four or five days. And even if they come, our horse exploration can still send the news back in time."

He released Ye Bushou for hundreds of miles, and it was a journey of rushing for a day, which should be considered safe.

Because he knew what the situation was like in the imperial court now! He was so poor that the cavalry that could be collected in a short period of time were only five or six thousand in the surrounding provinces. Just this cavalry, if he let go of his horsepower and rushed to help, there would be more than 200,000 people here, and there were about five thousand thieves, so it would not be of use if he came. Maybe he would even send his life here.

As for the infantry, it takes at least three days to reach the route of more than 100 miles. If a cavalry is sent to harass it, it will take four or five days.

According to Zuo Liangyu's judgment, the source of the imperial government's army must be the same as infantry and cavalry. In this way, the warning range of more than 100 miles is enough!

Zuo Liangyu said this, and after a pause, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "What is in front of us now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! As long as we seize this opportunity, we will have great potential to conquer Nanyang and capture the emperor before the Ming army arrives!"

Although it is impossible to take over the Ming Dynasty with just one word, with the emperor in his hands, it is a rare item and many things can be done. Everyone in the military tent naturally knew about this. Therefore, they were immediately excited when they heard it.

However, Zuo Liangyu was very calm and said unhurriedly: "But if you want to capture Nanyang within these days, a pile of loose sand will not work. You must concentrate these 200,000 troops and attack the city at the same time under the unified order at all costs, so that you can have the possibility of conquering!"

"Master, but those thieves won't listen to us!" Zhang Yong heard this and quickly reminded him, and then suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, "Master, it's impossible for him to not fight for the leader of the alliance, should he listen to them?"

After hearing this, Zuo Liangyu curled her lips and sneered: "I would rather be the head of a chicken than a queen of a cow. I naturally want to be the leader!"

"But they..." Zhang Yong was a little confused when he heard this. Naturally, they were willing to Zuo Liangyu be the leader, but the key point was that those thieves would not agree!

Zuo Liangyu knew what he meant, but just smiled coldly and said, "I have my own idea. I'm summoning you and others this time for this!"

When these generals heard this, they were all excited, and then they listened with all their attention to what good ideas Zuo Liangyu had.

...

About half an hour later, the generals were excited to leave the camp and left. Then, one of Zuo Liangyu's personal guards went to report that Liu Guoneng discussed matters.

Liu Guoneng did not stay in the central army tent for long and came out soon. It can be seen that there was a little doubt on his face.

When his intimate meeting, he hurriedly met him. Liu Yue was also among them and asked curiously: "Does the Grand Marshal have any instructions?"

These close friends with Liu Yue and Liu Guoneng trusted the most, that is, a few of the five people. Wang Liuhui was there, and he was also surprised and whispered: "Brother, it seems a bit strange to see you like this!"

Liu Guoneng gestured with his eyes and simply said: "Let's go, let's go to the other battalions, and the commander has something to convey."

…………

It was only about 800 miles from Tongguan to Nanyang. If it were later highways, it would only take half a day to drive. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen led the cavalry and was on the way to Nanyang. It was estimated that it would take at least four or five days, which made him a little depressed.

However, it made him even more puzzled. Judging from the news from the Class A eavesdropping seeds on Liu Yue, a hundred households of the Jinyiwei, he didn't know what Zuo Liangyu was doing. It seemed that he suddenly had a view of the overall situation and announced his withdrawal from the dispute between the leader. The reason was very simple, saying that even if he conquered Nanyang first, the other families would definitely not obey him. It seemed that the other families were very happy about this. However, Zuo Liangyu also had the conditions, that is, he wanted to be the deputy leader, and the so-called one person and ten thousand people.

As a result, other families kept sending people to Zuo Liangyu's side. Originally, the one who was the most deserted here became popular suddenly. Even the people sent were getting higher and higher. Liu Yue was not sure about the content of the conversation, but Emperor Chongzhen could guess that it should be that his promise to win over Zuo Liangyu was getting higher and higher.

Just when Emperor Chongzhen was still more than 300 miles away from Nanyang, the situation suddenly changed in Nanyang. All the thieves suddenly started fighting.

Because Liu Yue was not a core figure, he heard only limited news, and what Emperor Chongzhen learned was also limited.

Anyway, the result was that Li Zicheng looked like an honest man, but suddenly captured Luo Rucai, Huideng and others. It was for Zhang Xianzhong to react quickly. When discussing the matter, Zhang Xianzhong escaped. But as soon as he got outside, he met Zuo Liangyu and Zhang Yong and others and fell into Zuo Liangyu's hands. Then, when Zuo Liangyu handed Zhang Xianzhong to Li Zicheng, he suddenly attacked and beat Li Zicheng.

Liu Guoneng did not participate in this sudden battle, so Zuo Liangyu did not take him to play with him. Therefore, Liu Yue did not know. When everything was settled, Liu Guoneng would only know the news.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the lines of subtitles displayed in the eavesdropping system and couldn't help but sigh secretly, saying that if you want to be treacherous, these thieves are really not as good as Zuo Liangyu!

The general situation, based on the news he saw later, he understood.

Zuo Liangyu pretended to be a sick cat, making others less careful about him, and then made him live in strange goods. For some reason, he should have negotiated the conditions with Li Zicheng, and it is also possible that he also negotiated the conditions with Zhang Xianzhong and others, but in the end, Zuo Liangyu stood on Li Zicheng's side.

As a result, when Li Zicheng tried his best to deal with other thieves, Zuo Liangyu suddenly attacked. Relying on his servants as the most elite, he counterattacked and dealt with Li Zicheng who had not had time to be happy.

In this regard, Zuo Liangyu's public reason was that Li Zicheng was still preparing to attack him, so he was the strong one. However, Li Zicheng was scolding Zuo Liangyu for being betrayal. Emperor Chongzhen could not tell the truth for the time being, but he did not have the leisure to tell who was true.

This result was not good news for Emperor Chongzhen. Although the thieves fought fiercely, they were just a battle between the top leaders and did not harm the main force of the thieves.

Now the leaders of other thieves fell into Zuo Liangyu's hands. Judging from the news of the eavesdropping system, Zuo Liangyu took these leaders who were captured by him as hostages, and asked other thieves to listen to him and unify the orders, at least on the surface.

Now Zuo Liangyu seems to be proud and begins to readjust the deployment of the siege to Nanyang. Judging from the threat of his military proposal, if other bandits do not attack the city with all their might, he will be unpolite.

On the next day, the city of Nanyang was filled with treacherous bodies. The corpses that had not been cleaned up in the past few days had already begun to smell. The defenders on the top of the city had to cover their mouths and noses with cloth to hold on. Now that there are many corpses, you can imagine how smelly the city will look like in a few days!

According to Liu Yue's estimate, the bandits lost at least 50,000 bodies under the city of Nanyang in these days. In other words, the elderly, weak and disabled among all the bandits were basically driven to the city by the bandits to die.

When night fell, Emperor Chongzhen, who was camping, saw the conversation between Liu Guoneng and Liu Yue in the eavesdropping system.

"Just just now, the commander said that the Nanyang City would not attack the city for the time being, but only left behind the siege to prevent the Ming army from collecting the corpses. If the corpses were set on the top of the city, they would say that the dead bodies would be thrown into the city with a catapult."

"Why is this left thief so vicious?"

"In addition, the Governor General is a hundred miles away, and there may be no night to be taken tomorrow. The general has ordered a tiger under the King of Chuang to lead the troops to block the attack, and then retreat to bring the Governor General's army into Wolonggang. He will personally lead the other families to ambush. What I mean, at this time, we must send someone to report to the Governor General!"

"Well...well, I agree!"

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen knew that Liu Yue had followed his will and would not have contacted the court. However, now that this situation has occurred, Zuo Liangyu wants to ambush Chen Qiyu. He felt that it would be impossible not to contact him, so he still agreed to Liu Guoneng.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen sent an order to ask all the generals of the troops to come to discuss matters.

Not long after, He Renlong, Wu Sangui, and Hu Dawei who were escorting the war horses all arrived at the Central Army tent.

After Emperor Chongzhen asked them to waive the gift, he came to the hanging map of Nanyang, pointed at a thin stick and said, "We are here at present, about 150 miles away from Nanyang. This is what you and others told me, and generally the limit of sending horses to explore..."

These generals naturally knew about this situation, so they continued to listen to the emperor's words without changing their faces.

"And in Nanyang, all the leaders of the thieves, including Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, Huideng and others, have been taken hostage by Zuo Liangyu, and their subordinates are also forced to obey Zuo Liangyu's command..."

When Emperor Chongzhen began to introduce the situation of the thieves in Nanyang, the faces of these generals finally changed. They did not expect that the emperor would know the situation in Nanyang very well, which solved a big problem!

"... Now Zuo Liangyu mobilized 100,000 troops and was about to ambush the 30,000 troops led by the governor of the five provinces Chen Qing." Emperor Chongzhen introduced this, then put down his thin stick, turned around and walked back to the imperial throne, and asked, "You guys think, how should our army deal with it?"

He did not get carried away because he had won the Tumot tribe and felt that he could fight. Instead, he explained the situation first, then listened to the suggestions of these generals, and combined with his own thoughts, he obtained a strategy that he thought was good.

"Your Majesty, although those thieves are large, they are all chaotic. However, if Governor Chen is eager to rescue Nanyang and the army is exhausted, he may be defeated once he is ambushed. Therefore, the last general suggests that he immediately rush to help Wolonggang!" After hearing this, He Renlong was the first to rush to speak, "As soon as our army appears, the thieves will definitely disperse!"

Wu Sangui also followed and said, "Your Majesty, our army has more than 25,000 cavalry. Not to mention those thieves, even Jianlu will be very afraid. Therefore, the last general also thought that the thieves would definitely disperse!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded when he heard this, then turned to look at the other generals, and said, "It is inevitable to win them, but what I want is to wipe them out, not defeat them!"

When Hu Dawei heard this, he immediately followed him out and said, "Your Majesty, in this way, one man and two horses are in the face of war, and the horsepower is sufficient. As long as he can annihilate the cavalry among the bandits, those infantry will not be able to escape, and they should be able to annihilate them all!"

If one person and two horses are there, some of the horse-riding infantry will have to walk. But it doesn’t matter, the number of cavalry is still enough. Hu Dawei is worthy of being a Mongolian person, so using this move is indeed a way.

Thinking of this, he nodded again and continued to seek other people's opinions. After a while, the generals of each army finished speaking, and Emperor Chongzhen announced another news: "In Zuo Liangyu's army, Liu Guoneng and the troops were in Cao's camp and were in the Han Dynasty. There was an agreement at the beginning that once they fought with the official army, his subordinates would tie a strap on their left arm."
