The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Liu Guangzuo was persuaded by Liang Fei.

"Okay, then it's up to you to contact Xiao Yingxun, be quick!"

Liang Fei nodded.

He had already colluded with Xiao Yingxun, otherwise he would not have casually made such a weird suggestion as asking bandits to help suppress thieves.

"If Xiao Yingxun asks about the division of spoils, what will the general say?"

Liu Guangzuo glared at him and said, "What's the division of the spoils? That's too ugly to say. We are annihilating the rebels, and all the proceeds are confiscated. As for Xiao Yingxun, just allow him 10%."

"Only 10%? Is it too little?"

Liu Guangzuo sneered, "How many thousands of people can he have? How many of them are comparable to the elite soldiers of the army?"

Giving him 10% is already a sign of respect for him. Besides, if I told him to give him 30% or 40%, would he dare to believe it? Maybe he would think that I was going to kill him afterwards. "

"That's what the general said." Liang Fei nodded first, and then persuaded: "The general is just afraid that the division will be too small, and Xiao Yingxun will not agree."

Liu Guangzuo frowned, "Then I'll allow him 15%, and no more. Liu Thief must have a lot of money and food hoarded in Tang County. Even if it's only 15%, I'm afraid it's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

"The general knows what to say."

Watching Liang Fei leave, Liu Guangzuo was wondering whether he should kill Xiao Yingxun afterwards.

After all, it is his duty as the commander-in-chief of Nanyang to suppress bandits.

If you miss such a good opportunity, you may never get it again.

On the other side, Liang Fei quickly settled the matter after contacting Xiao Yingxun.

Because Xiao Yingxun noticed the fleet of the Kuei tribe transporting money and grain earlier than the army.

In addition, as Liang Fei said, Xiao Yingxun was already dissatisfied because his scope of activities was greatly squeezed by the Yibu rebels.

After he understood part of the strength of the Yibu Rebel Army, he felt that he was no match for him, so he could only succumb and wait for changes.

As for surrendering to the Wei tribe.

He didn't even think about it.

Ordinary people can see the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, and Henan is full of bandits and grass-headed kings.

He, Xiao Yingxun, had already become so famous in the 67th year of Chongzhen Dynasty. He controlled both Nanyang and Runing prefectures. Why should he stoop to serve as a subordinate of Liu Sheng, who had only risen to power less than a year ago?

As the saying goes: I would rather have a chicken head than a phoenix tail!

···

February thirteenth.

As soon as the vanguard of the Yibu fleet arrived at Cangtaiji, Li Dingguo led two sentry cavalry under his command to explore ten miles to the north.

"Not far ahead is Longtan Ferry. The narrowest point of the river in that area is only thirty or forty meters."

A person who had been here before rode up to Li Dingguo and said.

Li Dingguo nodded, a little absent-mindedly.

He thought to himself: I wonder what happened to them.

This "them" naturally refers to Zhang Xianzhong and his three sworn brothers.

Although Li Dingguo felt cold-hearted about Zhang Xianzhong betraying him, after all, human feelings cannot be broken off easily.

Soon, Li Dingguo came back to his senses with a cry of urgency.

"Second General, we found the army camp ahead and sealed the river with three iron ropes!"

Li Dingguo didn't have time to care that this personal attendant still used the old name, so he rode his horse to watch it himself.

Sure enough, we saw a camp on both sides of the river ahead. Just looking at the flags, I was afraid there were tens of thousands of people there!

There were three iron ropes as thick as a child's arm stretched across the river!

Li Dingguo did not panic.

On the way, he participated in several military meetings organized by He Lianyue, Huang Gan and Liu Changhe.

All the battalion and regiment level generals felt that the fleet was so big that the officers and soldiers would not be able to see it unless they were blind.

There may be a situation where "the officers and soldiers are short of troops and dare not intercept them if they see it."

But they can't take any chances.

Therefore, everyone was prepared to deal with the interception by the officers and soldiers.

As for being ambushed by the army.

On the Great Plains, unless the official army has a lot of cavalry, it will be difficult to ambush them.

Because of the normal march, the spies will be spread out at least five miles away, and there are even dozens or hundreds of miles ahead. Only when marching in a hurry or being pursued by the enemy, you will be ambushed because you have no time to explore the surrounding area.

The fleet transporting grain from Kuaibu was like a normal march, and the spies naturally dispersed. Even if the army uses cavalry to ambush, it will be detected several miles away.

At this moment, Li Dingguo detected the existence of the enemy camp ten miles in front of the fleet.

He took a closer look and found that there were obvious differences between the camps on both sides of the river.

Although the camp on the west bank is small, it has clear flags and is well organized. At first glance, it belongs to the army.

Although the camp on the east coast seems to occupy a large area, it is loose and scattered, with no hierarchy and order. There are fewer flags but it is more chaotic.

'Could it be that the east bank is home to soldiers and warriors? '

It was difficult to judge for a moment, so Li Dingguo decided to test it out.

This is the boldness of a master of arts.

"Gather all the riders and follow me to scratch the camp on the east bank!"

"As ordered!"

As Li Dingguo's order was issued, the cavalry that had been scattered around suddenly gathered together and ran with him to the edge of the camp on the east bank!

In the east bank camp, Xiao Yingteng, who was stationed here, was training more than a thousand young men in the middle camp.

Xiao Yingteng was Xiao Yingxun's cousin, and he once served as the commander-in-chief of the Biyang rural soldiers, so Xiao Yingxun gave him the important task of sitting in the camp on the east bank of the upper reaches of the town.

As for Xiao Yingxun himself, he took more than 100 horse bandits and more than 2,000 minions to the lower reaches to cooperate with the government troops to block the tail of the fleet.

Among the more than a thousand minions trained by Xiao Yingteng, only a few dozen leaders, big and small, wore leather or cloth armor. The other minions basically had no armor, and some even had thin clothes.

On the contrary, everyone has weapons - at least a spear with a wooden pole and an iron head, and a few people even carry knives and spears.

There are more than a hundred archers training alone next to them.

There are still two thousand minions outside the camp responsible for patrolling, sentrying and other guard duties.

Xiao Yingteng, wearing a piece of armor and an iron helmet, walked back and forth on the temporary wooden platform with his hands behind his back, like a general, feeling that his dream of galloping on the battlefield was greatly satisfied.

At this time, another tribesman, Xiao Yingxuan, came over and said in a low voice: "Fifth brother, I still feel that the idea of ​​​​Bago and the army to block the entire fleet is too greedy.

The last time Liu Sheng transported grain, there were more than a thousand ships in the fleet, stretching for nearly ten miles on the Tang River (which was already commonly known as Biesui among the people at that time).

If we use multiple groups of troops to intercept and board the ships to plunder them, then unless Liu Sheng sends tens of thousands of troops to escort him, he will not be able to protect the fleet at all, and something will be lost! "

Xiao Yingteng smiled when he heard this, patted Xiao Yingxuan's shoulder, and spoke in a big brother's tone.

"You should be selected. You have been smart since you were a child. You are the best-read among our Xiao family members in Dahe. You almost passed the examination to become a scholar.

But the boy is too cautious and petty in his dealings with others.

Why do we believe that we should be trained to be masters? Isn’t it because he is grand, courageous and able to convince others?

The man surnamed Liu used so many ships to transport, most of which were loaded with grain and grass, and probably only a few dozen ships were loaded with gold and silver.

If we go by what you said, we will be able to grab a few thousand stones of food and grass at most, but we may not be able to grab gold, silver and jewelry, and we will also lose the lives of some brothers.
