Chapter five hundred and eighty first subduing the collapse of the sky
It was also a mistake. Liu Guoneng blurted out and asked Wu Shigong: "Why is General Wu like this?" After asking, Liu Guoneng wanted to give himself a few slaps. レ♠レ Didn't this question let Butcher Wu see that he already understood Wu?
What was the butcher's intention? What if he became angry and silenced him now... Then Liu Guoneng looked at Wu Shigong with a look of despair and pleading, which was extremely complicated.
Wu Shigong stared at Liu Guoneng, and the smile faded from his face. The look on his face made Liu Guoneng feel frightened. After a while, Wu Shigong smiled a few times and said, "Jiangnan is rich!"
Wu Shigong's answer made Liu Guoneng feel weak and almost collapsed on the ground. At least the butcher Wu in front of him didn't yell: "Drag him out and chop him!" The test was passed.
So Liu Guoneng kept hypnotizing himself: "Butcher Wu just loves money! Doesn't he have a rebellious heart? He definitely wants money! He wants money!" By the end of the hypnosis, Liu Guoneng subconsciously believed the reasons Wu Shigong said.
In fact, Wu Shigong was helpless at this time. Wu Shigong wanted to disrupt the prisoners of the peasant army. After sneaking into his spies, he rushed to the Dabie Mountains to join the remnants of the peasant army there, and then caused a riot in Southern Zhili. In this case,
There are multiple peasant armies, which are easy to control and will not grow in size.
But now that Liu Guoneng surrendered, he had no choice but to promote Liu Guoneng to the position of leader. Moreover, Liu Guoneng's reputation and ability were far superior to those of other small peasant army leaders. In this way, all the leaders in South Zhili
The peasant army will definitely gather under Liu Guoneng's banner. Therefore, it will be difficult to control them in the future. Liu Guoneng may rebel again when he becomes big.
Although he controlled Liu Guoneng's mother and family, Wu Shigong did not believe that it could play a big role at all. It is not uncommon for a tycoon like Liu Guoneng to abandon his entire family for himself. For example, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Of course, Wu Shigong also
I didn’t know that Liu Guoneng was a filial son, and he would never let his mother be in a murderous situation.
What troubled Wu Shigong even more was that Xue Yongli's behavior in taking hostages was too ruthless. He took the family members of almost all the big and small bosses in Liu Guoneng's camp as hostages. Of course, Xue Yongli was on the safe side at the time, but now he
Wu Shigong brought a lot of trouble.
You know, if Liu Guo can agree to make the "knife" for Wu Shigong, then he will definitely not be able to hide his leadership. Everyone knows that his family is with the Runing Army. Who can't guess the meaning of this?
But in this case, people will talk too much. It is impossible for anyone to betray Liu Guoneng. And when the court knows all this, it will also bring a lot of trouble to Wu Shigong. After all, Wu Shigong also has hostages in Bei Jingcheng.
Another point is that if Wu Shigong was just greedy for Nanzhili's property, he would at best kill people and silence him as Liu Guoneng guessed. But Wu Shigong wanted to conquer the world, so the famous peasant army commander who first surrendered to Wu Shigong - Chuang
Liu Guoneng, who collapsed in the sky, became a horse's bones. Wu Shigong not only could not kill him, but also gave him a bright future. Only in this way could he set a benchmark and get twice the result with half the effort in the future battles.
So now Wu Shigong is also in a dilemma. He cannot immediately surrender Liu Guoneng, but he also wants to control him, so he can only take one step at a time. Again: surprises are everywhere!
Seeing Liu Guoneng in a daze, Wu Shigong pressed on and said, "Actually, you still have a third way. I am not someone who likes to prey on people's weaknesses. Like this! I will return all the guests in our camp to you.
Let you have no worries first, and then you can settle down with your destiny. What do you think?"
Liu Guoneng was shocked. Even if Butcher Wu in front of him kept his promise and returned all the hostages to him, Butcher Wu's main force of Runing Army was also behind him. Moreover, Liu Guoneng saw in Xinyang that Butcher Wu still had a group of people here.
It's a big army. These two are surrounded by enemies. Being able to escape alone is considered a good thing.
Besides, maybe Butcher Wu was testing him. If he agreed, Butcher Wu might kill him immediately. So Liu Guoneng immediately made a decision: "General Wu! The guilty people are willing to choose the second way! I am willing to choose the second way.
Two ways!”
Hearing that Liu Guoneng agreed, Wu Shigong immediately smiled. He helped him: "Get up! There is no need to call yourself a 'sinner'. From now on, you will be my guard. When you return, at least no one can escape."
You can rest assured that your family will be well settled."
"Thank you, General Wu!" Liu Guoneng immediately kowtowed again and tried his best to please Wu Shigong. After that, he discussed with Wu Shigong for a while how to carry out the operation in Beizhili.
On November 15, the ninth year of Chongzhen, Liu Guoneng left all the old and weak soldiers in Xinyang, leaving only the 4,000 strong and old soldiers.
After that, Xue Yongli's Runing army, after selecting some useful talents among the prisoners, left all the prisoners where they were and returned to Runing. However, because those prisoners had nowhere to eat, they stayed there for a day.
, under the instigation of some people, they all turned to Liu Guoneng.
Those instigators were all hundreds of spies sent by the Runing Army, the Shanchuan Division and the Military Intelligence Bureau. They also successfully blended into the prisoners, and many of them became small bosses. No matter what, Wu Shigong would not believe Liu Guoneng's single-mindedness.
Guaranteed! He still needs to have a backup plan.
Later, after the Runing Army replenished a batch of weapons and food, Liu Guoneng's entire battalion of more than 40,000 people marched towards the Dabie Mountains. This sudden large-scale peasant army immediately caused chaos in the Wuchang area, and the Ming court was in an uproar!
Because in the last operation of the Runing Army in Huguang, a large number of civilians were requisitioned in this area, and they were also given a certain amount of remuneration afterwards. Therefore, under the pressure of the rebel army, the local people fled south one after another, trying to enter
Runing escaped this military disaster.
Once these 70,000 to 80,000 refugees arrived, the Runing Army was in a hurry. In the end, under Wu Shigong's order, they could only open the passage and allow those refugees to temporarily reside at the southern border of Runing Prefecture.
But after this, the Runing Army found a reason not to pursue Liu Guoneng's troops, because no one could tell the difference between refugees and the peasant army. The Runing Army always wanted to ensure the safety of the Runing Mansion first!
Of course, the Runing Army still left a cavalry regiment behind Liu Guoneng's troops to control the movement direction of Liu Guoneng's troops and prevent them from acting recklessly.
In this Xiangyang battle, the Runing Army achieved its pre-war goal of weakening the peasant army and successfully drove Liu Guo's energy department to southern Zhili.
However, due to the arming of Liu Guoneng and the resettlement of Wuchang refugees, and the recruitment of more than 4,000 peasant army veterans by Xue Yongli, the Runing Army also spent a large amount of food and materials for relief. This also reduced the captures of the Runing Army.
A lot. Overall, I'm basically satisfied with it, but there are some places where people are not as good as God!
When Liu Guoneng's Ministry of Energy was approaching Huanggang County, it sent a partial division to Huanggang County to show off its power. The cavalry regiment of the Runing Army immediately flew to Huanggang County to support. The frightened Huanggang County Magistrate immediately introduced the supporting army into the county. But in the county
None of the people knew that Tang Liu and his party were among the supporting troops. They wanted to carry out the revenge ordered by Wu Shigong.
"Fellow military lords! You must be mistaken. We don't have a bandit army!" In Huanggang County, a man in his fifties dressed as a military official knelt down and begged to the Runing army.
"We have already caught the person you contacted with the bandit army. If you still speak harshly, the whole family will be arrested!" President Qian, who was responsible for the arrest, ordered. The soldiers of the Runing Army who were surrounding the member's house immediately rushed into the house.
.
"This general! What evidence do you have?" I don't know whether he was angry or afraid, the magistrate of Huanggang County trembled and asked the general manager Qian.
"Didn't I tell the magistrate? I caught a spy sent by his family to the rebel army. He said that when the rebel army arrives, his family will open the city gate for the internal affairs." The Qianzong replied impatiently.
Mr. Qian's words immediately caused a stir among the people watching. At this time, people in the city would rather believe what they have than what they don't have. However, the magistrate of Huanggang County is not so easy to deceive. That official is one of the many big families in the city.
The peasant army wanted to kill the officials and gentry, so it was absolutely impossible for this member of the army to sell it out.
Besides, after coming back to his senses, the magistrate of Huanggang County also knew that the troops coming were Lieutenant General Runing's troops. A few days ago, the foreigner had colluded with him to steal Lieutenant General Runing's money. I thought that the sky was high and the road was far away, but Lieutenant General Runing was not there.
I came here to take revenge, but I didn't expect that a real retribution would come now.
But now, Huanggang County Magistrate is also a grasshopper on the same line as that member. Therefore, although he is afraid, the Magistrate still has to argue with reason: "May I ask General, where is the person who is colluding with the bandits now?"
"This kind of guy who cheats and cheats would have been killed a long time ago!" The Qian President replied confidently. He immediately made Huanggang County Magistrate so angry that he went to heaven. Isn't this just empty talk?
So the magistrate of Huanggang immediately said: "As the general said, the canon of punishments must be clarified and the crime must be determined. It also needs to be judged by the Holy Spirit. After the general arrests Mr. Li, he should be handed over to the local government for sentencing." Then the magistrate of Huanggang still hopes to follow judicial procedures.
, trying to delay time to save the life of that member of staff.
But the Chief Qian paid no attention to the Huanggang County Magistrate. When he saw that his soldiers had captured the entire family of the member, he immediately ordered: "The whole family will be executed and the family property will be confiscated!" The soldiers of the Runing Army immediately raised their hands.
weapons.
Watching the screams of the member's family from a distance, he heard the Huanggang magistrate yelling to stop him: "Do you know whose family member Li is from? He is the nephew of the Minister of Civil Affairs, how brave are you?
, this county wants to impeach you! Qiu Ba, don’t do anything! Oh!”
Li Sanhe and Tang Liu were laughing and chatting while watching the excitement.
Li Sanhe asked: "Why is Sixth Brother not interested in showing up? I'm sure the county magistrate will be shocked!"
Tang Liu did not answer Li Sanhe's question. He asked instead: "Then why doesn't Third Brother host it? How majestic it is!"
Li Sanhe smiled and said: "This kind of small scene is no longer interesting, let the children have fun!"
The two of them laughed immediately. (To be continued...)
