Chapter 418: Father and Mother Get Married
Although Chen Qiyu was inclined to appease, everyone knew to avoid risks, so Chen Qiyu asked the imperial court to ask the peasant rebels to surrender, and asked Emperor Chongzhen and the court officials to make a decision.
However, since the leaders of the peasant rebel army had been performing fake surrenders for a long time and had turned into professional fake surrender performers, Chen Qiyu gradually believed that the peasant rebel army was really surrendering when they were desperate, and that he would be able to accomplish it without any effort.
You know, it has only been half a year since Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, took office, and the main force of the peasant rebel army has been wiped out in one fell swoop. Then...!! Anyway, you can imagine Chen Qiyu's high-spirited mentality.
The Ming army surrounding the exit of the Carriage Gorge also adopted a strange posture: on the one hand, they tightly guarded the exit of the Carriage Gorge to prevent the peasant rebels from escaping; on the other hand, they were unwilling to enter the Carriage Gorge for fear of encountering the enemy.
The peasant rebels fought to the death; on the other hand, they all occupied a favorable position, because if the peasant rebels really surrendered, then these Ming armies could receive these prisoners as soon as possible and rob the peasants who had rebelled for so many years.
Property looted by the army.
However, there are more rice porridge than monks, so the troops of collateral military attachés like Li Lu will definitely be pushed to the periphery. At this time, Zhou Xun, Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng were in Li Lu's camp, waiting to arrive at Zhongzhong
Li Lu, who went to argue with Governor Chen Qiyu in the military tent, has returned.
Li Lu, who was wet and muddy, lifted up the felt at the door of his tent and walked in cursing. After months of marching and fighting, Li Lu had no time to clean himself up, so his face was covered with beards.
Grass grows randomly.
The soldiers in the tent immediately brought over a dry towel, but before Li Lu could wipe it, Chen Zhongzhi couldn't wait to ask: "Li Youji! How are you doing?"
It was okay if I didn't ask, but Li Lu became very angry when asked. He wiped his face with a towel, threw the towel to his soldiers, and immediately cursed: "What else can we do? Let us get there
Later, I went to transport food and said that I would serve those Shaanxi bandits as if they were Bodhisattvas. We couldn't let them freeze and starve, otherwise we would become stepmothers."
"What's going on? Didn't Li Youyi plead with the Governor to let us come and drink some soup?" Chen Zhongzhi immediately became anxious.
"Grandma!" Li Lu immediately scolded Chen Zhongzhi, "Don't you understand even today that in this army, we are the only ones! We are the cannon fodder! This has gone all the way, you are so stupid!
Your brain hasn’t opened up yet?”
Upon seeing the situation, Jiang Cheng quickly interjected to calm the atmosphere: "Brother Li, don't worry! Brother Chen is also thinking about all of us. He has no other thoughts. Brother Li, just say it. Governor Chen has just said it."
What is it?"
"What can you say? Just give me a favor!" Li Lu was still a little angry, "We brothers have been away for more than half a year. Thanks to the love of all brothers, I, Lao Li, have been given the leading position. No matter what,
In the past half year, the casualties among our men have not exceeded a hundred, so Lao Li, I can be considered worthy of all of you brothers."
"Old Li, I am also self-aware. I know that I am not good at fighting. All the brothers here may be better than me. But the biggest advantage of me, Old Li, is that I am willing to listen to capable people."
"Who is the capable person? It's my brother-in-law. He repeatedly emphasized to me before setting off this time that we should guard against the Shaanxi bandits' false surrender! But now the Shaanxi bandits have been driven into despair by us. They have really come to falsely surrender.
…”
"Didn't Governor Chen say that they really surrendered?" Chen Zhongzhi was still a little unconvinced.
"It's just a fake surrender!" Li Lu suddenly raised his tone, "My brother-in-law said it was a fake surrender, it's a fake surrender! There can be no other result. I have told you several times, Lao Li, it's better for you! Get some Shaanxi bandits as gifts.
The gold and silver treasures that came over were like country bumpkins who were so fascinated that they couldn't even open their eyes. Now they are still thinking about going forward to get another fortune? What a joke! Who of you dares to pat your chest and say, your vision for war?
More accurate than my brother-in-law?"
Li Lu glanced sideways at Chen Zhongzhi, and saw that he closed his mouth angrily, so he continued: "I'm not afraid of your brothers complaining. Just now, Old Li, I was trying to persuade Governor Chen not to believe that the Shaanxi bandits were pretending to surrender. But the civil and military officers in the camp just didn't believe it.
, Damn it! Lao Li and I had a big fight in the Zhongjun tent."
"I have already proposed to them that if we block the Shaanxi bandits in the carriage canyon and starve them for ten days and a half, why don't they just let us make them round and flat? Aren't those gold, silver and jewels going to fly away on their own?
But they were so obsessed that they kicked me out of the Central Military Tent and sent us to the camp behind to transport food! Grandma!"
"Mr. Qi!" Li Lu then ordered his staff, "write two notes immediately. One is for the court, telling them not to believe the Shaanxi bandits' false surrender; the other is for the governor, asking him to prepare
In case the Shaanxi bandits pretend to surrender and take advantage of the situation to enter our Henan again, Lao Li, I am not afraid of offending Governor Chen. Literary men say that character is required, and this time I want to show them the character of a man from the capital! Hurry up and finish writing!
Send it out immediately from now on!"
"Brothers! This is my attitude, Lao Li. I don't like forcing people, so just say something!"
"I listen to the old commander!" Not surprisingly, Zhou Xun immediately supported Li Lu.
Jiang Cheng looked at Chen Zhongzhi, hesitated for a moment and then said: "We from Henan are all in the same boat, and I will listen to Brother Li this time!"
Now everyone looked at Chen Zhongzhi. Chen Zhongzhi hesitated for a moment and said: "Wu Dusi's vision is nothing to say." At this time, Chen Zhongzhi was still a little embarrassed.
But when Li Lu saw the consensus, he immediately grinned and patted Chen Zhongzhi on the shoulder, saying: "This is a good brother! Listen to my arrangements, Lao Li. The base camp is three days away from here."
, we rushed there as quickly as possible. Then we waited together at the camp for the news."
"If this is a false surrender, then we will immediately break camp and return to Ye County. We have made a lot of money in the past few days, and we will make a lot of money from the food, grass, baggage and other things in the camp. Anyway, that Hu in the camp at that time
The general can't suppress us two guerrillas. At most, we can give him a little bit when the time comes, and then we'll get married."
"When we leave, Lao Chen and Xiao Jiang go first. You are on foot and can't walk fast with a cart. Xunzi and I will lead the cavalry to cover you. Don't turn back and go straight to Ye County. Don't worry about this place. With our more than three thousand
No one can stop the more than 40,000 Shaanxi bandits."
"If it is true that the surrender is true, then it doesn't matter if we are delayed for a few days in delivering food. At most, a few surrendered Shaanxi bandits will starve to death! After that, Governor Chen will go to Shaanxi to suppress the bandits anyway, and our troops in Henan will also go home. Here we are.
At that time, we can still requisition all the way back. If we can’t eat this big meat, we can always eat some shredded pork and sliced meat.”
