Chapter 324 I can do it, I can do it, I won
The sky was clear and the rain stopped. After receiving the funding of Li Yanqing, Liu Zhenhua felt that he was OK again. He felt that he could definitely destroy Lin Hongfei with his back against this direct God of Wealth!
So, with Liu Zhenhua's scattering money, boxes of newly-departed guns and ammunition were loaded into his Zhensong Army.
At the same time, in order to increase the number of troops, he also recruited several bandits with relatively powerful forces in Shaanxi Province.
The bandits naturally accepted the invitation from Zhensong Army with joy. Since ancient times, they have said something well, wanting to be an official, kill people and set fire to be recruited.
Now, these bandits have also transformed themselves from beating everyone, causing trouble to the bandits in the village to become officers wearing official clothes.
Of course, the bandits also knew that the Zhensong Army was not so full that they were sought after. They must have fought a war and wanted everyone to help.
When they learned that the enemy of the war was the Jiangbei Army from Lingnan Province, the bandits recruited did not seem very panic. This is not because they have a good mentality, but mainly because they have been active in Shaanxi Province for a long time and have no idea about the combat effectiveness of the Jiangbei Army.
The ignorant are fearless, so the bandits naturally patted their chests and promised Liu Zhenhua that once the war begins, they promise to rush to the front!
However, Liu Zhenhua did not expect these bandits to fight any beautiful battles. After all, the bandits' combat effectiveness is not as good as the Zhensong Army, so they are naturally no match for the Jiangbei Army.
They were recruited, mainly because they wanted them to rush to the front and consume the ammunition of the Jiangbei Army.
Just as the Zhensong Army was preparing for troops, Lin Hongfei brought the guards to Hanzhong and met with Wu Yongquan, who was stationed here.
"Hongfei, now we are thorns in Liu Zhenhua's side, and we are thorns in the flesh!"
"This old guy is completely resentful to us. Some time ago, he sent an army to enter Hanzhong in the name of using the road to suppress bandits, but he was beaten back by his brothers."
"In the past few days, there is another intelligence that Liu Zhenhua has obtained a huge sum of money from somewhere and is buying arms and expanding troops. This is clearly for us!"
In a mansion, Wu Yongquan was informing Lin Hongfei about some recent events.
After hearing Wu Yongquan's words, Lin Hongfei couldn't help but smile sarcastically: "Haha, let him come. I'm worried that there is no reason to enter Shaanxi Province. Now, he's here to come!"
"During this period, brothers have promptly investigated the news about Zhensong Army. The Zhensong Army is not a monolithic part, and there are many people who forget their righteousness when they see profit. I think we can buy a few insiders."
Wu Yongquan nodded and said, "I have asked them to do this. I think it will be a result in no time!"
As he said that, Wu Yongquan took out another letter and handed it to Lin Hongfei: "By the way, I almost forgot. Yu Shuai sent us a letter two days ago. Yu Shuai thought you would definitely come to Hanzhong, so he sent the letter here."
Lin Hongfei took the letter and browsed it, and Wu Yongquan explained from the side: "Yu Shuai's meaning is very simple. Although Liu Zhenhua is also a direct partner in our family, he only defected to him later, and this person is also a fence-bearer who falls with the wind."
"So, Yushuai won't interfere too much in the war between us and Liu Zhenhua, just let us pay attention and don't fight against the snipe and clam to the fisherman's profit. After all, there are many people in Shanxi Province, Sichuan Province and Gansu Province, but there are many people watching this fat piece of Shaanxi Province!"
After reading the letter, Lin Hongfei looked a little solemn: "Indeed, we really need to pay attention to this."
"In this battle, we must fight quickly. Without waiting for others to react, we will drive the Zhensong Army out of Shaanxi Province to avoid the long war and the long nights and many dreams!"
Coincidentally, Lin Hong's idea of a quick battle and a quick decision was surprisingly consistent with Liu Zhenhua's idea.
Liu Zhenhua is also worried that the long war will attract the intervention of other forces around him. At that time, the two tigers will suffer any injuries when they fight, and he has no confidence to stop the new enemy.
Therefore, after all the newly purchased arms were installed and the newly recruited troops were initially reorganized, Liu Zhenhua quickly ordered the entire army to march into Hanzhong in three directions!
On the night of the order issued, an officer from Zhensong Army dressed in casual clothes and walked into a seemingly inconspicuous tavern while the night was shining.
Half an hour later, the officer walked out of the tavern with a hint of alcohol on his face. Behind him, the shopkeeper of the tavern was watching him leave with a warm look on his face.
Seeing the officer leaving, the pavilion shopkeeper's face became calm. He asked the shopkeeper to help greet the guests, and he walked along the alley into an ordinary courtyard.
"Sir, this is the information I just sent from the inside line of Zhensong Army. According to him, Zhensong Army will march into Hanzhong in three directions tomorrow. This is the combat plan he sent!"
At this time, the tavern owner was not as good as a business man. Now he is clearly a shrewd and capable intelligence officer.
In front of the tavern owner, a thin man sat. After reading the information in his hand, he nodded and said:
"Well, this combat plan is basically the same as the information I got from other insiders and can be identified as true."
"In this way, you can travel in person and deliver the information to Hanzhong as quickly as possible."
"Remember, if you send the information one day earlier, the Grandmaster will be ready one day earlier!"
The tavern owner nodded vigorously: "I understand, even if I try my best, I will send the information on time!"
Lin Hongfei's guess is correct. The Zhensong Army is indeed very loose. Except for a few officers who followed Liu Zhenhua in the early days, the others' loyalty to Liu Zhenhua is very limited.
Some officers even felt that Liu Zhenhua was too partial to his old subordinates and suppressed them too much, and they already hated Liu Zhenhua in their hearts.
Therefore, when the Jiangbei Army sent real money, these officers chose to sell off the information of Zhensong Army without hesitation in exchange for more benefits.
So, before Liu Zhenhua led the Zhensong Army to go far, the combat plan he carefully formulated was already in front of Lin Hongfei.
After Lin Hongfei, Wu Yongquan and others read the combat plan and personnel, equipment and other information of Zhensong Army, Wu Yongquan couldn't help but sneer:
"It is said that Liu Zhenhua received a huge sum of money to purchase arms and expand the troops. I thought the Zhensong Army could equip some powerful weapons. Who would have thought that there were not even a few cannons, and I don't know where the money he had spent!"
Lin Hongfei smiled and said, "What else can I spend? Do you think Liu Zhenhua may use all the money to buy arms?"
"I dare to guarantee that Liu Zhenhua put at least one-third of the huge sum into his pocket, and the remaining two-thirds were deducted by his subordinates. It would be nice to have one-third of the money used to buy weapons!"
Wu Yongquan's face became even more sarcastic: "This is really a person who wants money but lives!"
"He didn't think about it. If he couldn't buy enough weapons, how could he win this battle? If he lost the battle, what good results would he have to eat?"
