Chapter 324 I can do it, I can do it, I won
The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and with Li Yanqing's support, Liu Zhenhua felt that he was doing well again. He felt that with his backing on this direct God of Wealth, he would definitely be able to wipe out Lin Hongfei!
So, along with Liu Zhenhua's wanton sprinkling of money, boxes of newly manufactured guns and ammunition were loaded into his Zhensong army.
At the same time, in order to increase the number of troops, he also incorporated several relatively powerful bandits in Shaanxi Province.
And the bandits naturally accepted the Zhensong army's recruitment with great joy. Since ancient times, there is a good saying, if you want to be an official, you will be recruited by killing people and setting fire.
Now, this group of bandits has also changed, from bandits who shouted and beat everyone and caused trouble in the village, to military officers who look like dogs and wear official uniforms.
Of course, the bandits also knew that the Zhensong army must not be full to recruit themselves, this must be a war, and they want everyone to help.
When they learned that the enemy who fought this time was the Jiangbei Army from Lingnan Province, the bandits who were recruited did not appear to be very flustered. This is not because they have a good mentality. Know nothing.
The ignorant are fearless, and this group of bandits naturally patted their chests and assured Liu Zhenhua that once the war broke out, they promised to rush to the forefront!
However, Liu Zhenhua didn't expect this gang of bandits to fight any good battles. After all, the combat effectiveness of the bandits was not as good as that of the Zhensong Army, and naturally they were no match for the Jiangbei Army.
The main purpose of recruiting them is to let them rush to the front to consume the ammunition of the Jiangbei Army.
Just as the Zhensong army was in full swing, Lin Hongfei led the guards to Hanzhong and reunited with Wu Yongquan who was stationed here.
"Hongfei, now we are the thorn in Liu Zhenhua's side, the thorn in his flesh!"
"This old guy has completely hated us. Some time ago, he sent a troop to enter Hanzhong in the name of suppressing bandits, but was beaten back by his brothers."
"In the past few days, there has been intelligence showing that Liu Zhenhua has obtained a huge sum of money from nowhere, and is buying arms and expanding the army wantonly. This is clearly aimed at us!"
In a mansion, Wu Yongquan was telling Lin Hongfei about some recent events.
After listening to Wu Yongquan's words, Lin Hongfei couldn't help showing a sarcastic smile: "Hehe, then let him come. I'm just worried that I have no reason to settle in Shaanxi Province. Now it's all right, he will come to your door!"
"During this period of time, let the brothers hurry up and inquire about the news of the Zhensong Army. The Zhensong Army is not monolithic, and there are many ungrateful people among them. I think we can buy a few insiders."
Wu Yongquan nodded and said, "I've asked them to do this, and I think it won't be long before there will be a result!"
As he said that, Wu Yongquan took out another letter and handed it to Lin Hongfei: "By the way, I almost forgot. Yushuai sent us a letter two days ago. Yushuai thought you would definitely come to Hanzhong, so I sent the letter to you." Sent here."
Lin Hongfei took the letter and browsed it, while Wu Yongquan explained beside him: "Yushuai's meaning is very simple. Although Liu Zhenhua is also directly related to us, he came here later, and this person is also a grasshopper who falls with the wind. .”
"So, Yushuai won't intervene too much in our war with Liu Zhenhua. He just wants us to be careful not to fight each other for the fisherman's profit. After all, there are many people in Jin Province, Sichuan Province, and Gansu Province. Save this piece of fat!"
After Lin Hongfei finished reading the letter, his face was a little dignified: "Indeed, we really need to pay attention to this point."
"In this battle, we must fight quickly. Before others can react, we will drive the Zhensong army out of Shaanxi Province, so as to avoid a long war and long nights and dreams!"
Coincidentally, Lin Hongfei's idea of a quick battle is surprisingly consistent with Liu Zhenhua's idea.
Liu Zhenhua was also worried that if the battle was too long, it would attract other forces around him to intervene. When the two tigers fought, one would be injured. He had no confidence in stopping new enemies.
Therefore, after all the newly purchased munitions were assembled and the newly recruited troops were initially reorganized, Liu Zhenhua quickly ordered the whole army to march towards Hanzhong in three ways!
On the night when the order was issued, an officer of the Zhensong Army dressed in casual clothes walked into a seemingly inconspicuous tavern in the dark.
Half an hour later, the officer came out of the tavern with a hint of alcohol on his face. Behind him, the tavern manager was watching him leave with enthusiasm.
Seeing the officer go away, the face of the tavern keeper became calm. He asked the clerks in the tavern to greet the guests, while he walked along the alleyway and walked into an ordinary courtyard.
"Sir, this is the information I just sent from the inside of the Zhensong Army. According to him, the Zhensong Army will march towards Hanzhong in three ways tomorrow. This is the battle plan he sent!"
At this time, the tavern owner didn't even have the slightest sense of businessman, but now he is clearly a shrewd and capable intelligence officer.
In front of the tavern owner, sat a thin man. After reading the information in his hand, he nodded and said:
"Well, this battle plan is basically consistent with the intelligence I got from other insiders, and it can be verified as true."
"In this way, you make a trip yourself and send the information to Hanzhong as quickly as possible."
"Remember, the sooner you send the information, the commander can prepare for it one day earlier!"
The tavern owner nodded vigorously: "Understood, even if I try my best, I will send the information over on time!"
Lin Hongfei's guess was correct, the Zhensong army was indeed very loose inside, except for a small number of officers who followed Liu Zhenhua in the early days, the loyalty of others to Liu Zhenhua was very limited.
Some officers even felt that Liu Zhenhua was too partial to the old subordinates and suppressed them too much, and they had already hated Liu Zhenhua in their hearts.
Therefore, when the Jiangbei Army sent real money, these officers did not hesitate to choose to sell the information of the Zhensong Army in exchange for more benefits.
So, before Liu Zhenhua led the Zhensong Army far, his carefully formulated battle plan was already placed in front of Lin Hongfei.
After Lin Hongfei, Wu Yongquan and others reviewed the Zhensong Army's combat plan, personnel and equipment establishment and other information, Wu Yongquan couldn't help but sneer and said:
"It is said that Liu Zhenhua got a huge sum of money to buy arms and expand the army. I thought that the Zhensong Army could be equipped with some powerful weapons. Who would have thought that there were not many cannons, and he didn't know the money in his hand. Where did it all go!"
Lin Hongfei chuckled: "Where else can it be spent? Do you think Liu Zhenhua might use all the money to buy arms?"
"I can assure you that Liu Zhenhua put at least one-third of this huge sum into his own pocket, and the remaining two-thirds were deducted by his subordinates. One-third of the money was actually used to buy weapons. One is good!"
The sarcasm on Wu Yongquan's face became stronger: "This is really a master who wants money and life!"
"He didn't even think about it. If he couldn't buy good enough weapons, how could he win this battle? If he lost the battle, what good fruit would he have?"
Lin Hongfei laughed and said, "So, we can't imitate him!"
