Li Zicheng looked at his troops running in disorder on the road. The soldiers all looked dejected. He couldn't help but shook his head. He failed to open the seal three times. It was indeed a psychological blow to the camp.
Song Xiance squeezed over on horseback. As soon as he saw Li Zicheng, he immediately raised his hands on his horse and said, "King Chuang! I'm sorry! The student didn't expect General Wu to send troops so quickly and violently."
Li Zicheng forced a smile to Song Xiance. He waved his hand and pretended not to care, and said, "What's the matter, Mr. Guan? Your luck is a bit bad! Hey——!"
Li Zicheng would not anger others without reason. Before the war, except for the error in estimating the strength of the Runing Army, Song Xiance had an accurate judgment on whether the Runing Army would send troops.
But if the battle did not go well, it was a matter of generals and troops who broke into the camp, and had nothing to do with military advisors such as Song Xiance. Therefore, it can be said that Li Zicheng's reliance on Song Xiance and the others has not declined, but has increased.
Upstairs.
"Then the student still has a few words to say!" After the opening remarks, Song Xiance was about to say the main content.
"Sir, please speak!"
"Now we break into the camp and retreat, all we need is time. If General Wu of Runing presses too hard, our injuries will also be severe. So the students thought: Send an envoy to Commander Wu to talk to him
Right." Song Xiance said.
"Then how can Butcher Wu talk about it? How can he be willing to talk about it? He's beaten to death like this, and he's still daydreaming about the blue sky." Liu Zongmin, who was listening to the words, immediately shouted.
"Zong Min! What are you doing?" Li Zicheng immediately shouted, and then he said to Song Xiance, "Sir, don't worry about this rough guy. You are a person like Zhuge Liang. I, Old Li, am here to listen."
Song Xiance still maintained a respectful attitude. He bowed slightly and said, "Go and tell Commander Wu that his current position of power comes from encircling and suppressing our rebel army. If our rebel army is desperate, is he not afraid of using up all the birds and hiding his bow? Or is he?
It would be better for both sides to make a concession and negotiate a turf without intruding on each other."
"I dare to ask General Gao. Have you seen General Wu's troops coming up? The student estimates that he is also waiting for our envoy. But we have to be quick, because we are afraid that he will change his mind.
King! Generals! If you think about it carefully, when the Eighth King was cornered by the left thieves, he also said the same thing to the left thieves." Song Xiance seemed confident.
Indeed, when the joint forces of Li and Luo retreated in front of the Runing Army in the middle, the Runing Army did not follow and pursue them. The generals of King Chuang were busy escaping at the time and did not notice this anomaly at all, but now they often
As soon as Song Xiance reminded them, they all came to their senses immediately.
"Mr. Song! I've troubled you about this. Pick one who is more articulate, and go to the warehouse to take the gifts as you like. It doesn't matter if you take more, as long as you get the job done. Those belongings are nothing special. Butcher Wu wants military merit.
,Also...,hey——!" Li Zicheng said without hesitation.
But in the end, Li Zicheng remembered that he had turned back again. When he was fleeing, he gave the heads of old, weak, women and children to the army to be beheaded. This was what he often did when he was a bandit. But now Li Zicheng is about to establish
With the formal government in place, protecting the people should be given top priority. At least some appearance efforts should be made. However, in order to escape this time, Li Zicheng returned to his true nature as a rogue, which made him feel quite aggrieved.
Seeing Li Zicheng's sigh, Song Xiance comforted him again: "King Chuang! In fact, you don't need to be discouraged at all. It was just an accident this time. In terms of strength, our Chuang camp is no worse than General Wu's soldiers."
"Oh!" Li Zicheng perked up. At this time, he just wanted to hear some words of encouragement.
"You think, our original plan was to encircle Kaifeng and ambush General Wu's soldiers. Our troops were superior in the camp. But no one expected that an official army suddenly appeared in the direction of Lankao County in the east. In this way,
We broke into the camp only to focus on one thing and lose the other, resulting in being passive. In addition, General Wu's fighting style is somewhat different from that of other officers and soldiers, so we suffered a little loss when we ran up. If we really encounter it next time, as long as we are prepared.
No matter how you compare with him, you will have an advantage."
"Mr. Song said it well!" Liu Zongmin immediately shouted before Li Zicheng could speak, "Hurry up and pass the order, and spread Mr. Song's words to the ears of every soldier."
Song Xiance also nodded his thanks to Liu Zongmin. He thought secretly in his heart: "This Liu Zongmin may not look rude on the outside, but he has a delicate heart. Every word he says and everything he does scratches Li Zicheng's itch.
, but he acted like he offended everyone and eliminated the threat to Li Zicheng’s status. No wonder he became the number two person in the camp."
Song Xiance offered another suggestion to Li Zicheng: "Now that we break into the camp and the siege of Kaifeng City is lifted, then the officers and soldiers of Lankao will definitely compete with General Wu for credit. We can forge a letter from General Wu to treason with the enemy and pretend to be
It was inadvertently lost in the hands of the officers and soldiers in Lankao. If the imperial court kills General Wu, it will just remove a big enemy for us. Even if we don't be fooled, the officers and soldiers from all walks of life will also have heart problems in the future and will be on their own guard. Let us
There is an opportunity to take advantage of.”
"Okay!" Li Zicheng clapped his thigh with joy and said happily, "With you, sir, I, Old Li, am really more powerful than a tiger."
"King Chuang! The student has one more thing to say." Seeing Li Zicheng's cronies surrounding him, Song Xiance whispered: "We are the enemy head-on. Even if we Chuangying has the upper hand, our advantage will be limited. In case of war,
It’s a snipe-clam situation. But Cao Cao is not very obedient this time!..."
Li Zicheng immediately lowered his face and nodded to Song Xiance: "I, Old Li, understand what you mean. If there is a future, I, Old Li, will share the world with you, sir, and all of your brothers."
…
"Tell your king: You Shaanxi people should go back to Shaanxi. You can make trouble as you please, and don't come to Henan again." Facing the envoy sent by Li Zicheng, Wu Shigong pretended to be rude.
The military attache prime minister, he said a lot of swear words, "Fuck! It has made us in Henan very upset, and let our Henan army be scolded in the spine by the elders in our hometown? They only gave these gifts, scrap metal and nothing valuable. They were all captured.
We're in Luoyang, don't you know how to send some concubines and maids from the palace? Forget it, I will be generous this time and let you live, just to make friends in the world. If there is a next time, don't blame me.
You're welcome."
"Thank you, General Wu!" The envoys immediately smiled and said, "I will definitely bring General Wu's words to King Chuang."
When the envoy left, Xue Yongli smiled and said to Wu Shigong: "Uncle! You have gone too far in your acting! Who would believe this look?"
"Maybe they really believe it." Wu Shigong also said with a smile, "What do outsiders think of me, so I will perform like this! This is to give them some fun and make them happy."
"Hahaha——!" The two people looked at each other and laughed.
After laughing for a while, Xue Yongli said again: "Na Rusong, Shumo is really fighting hard, and has wiped out nearly 20,000 civilian thieves. Let them take it easy, they are really energetic."
"I didn't expect this. Doesn't Shumo like to huddle in his turtle shell? Why did he change his temper to fight offensively? It seems that it is too hot these days, and his brain is a little confused." Wu Shigong also joked.
road.
"Hahaha--!"
"The fighting in Zug was a bit rough, and there were not many casualties. However, a letter of accusation came from him. In order to rush on, they killed more than 20,000 women and children in Pegasus Town." Xue Yongli added.
Wu Shigong nodded and said: "I just learned about this. Please reply to the letter and let him feel at ease! These days are not good, and the people cannot survive. In order to save more people, sometimes we can only do something
It’s against my will. Hey——”
Seeing Wu Shigong's mood was a little low, Xue Yongli immediately changed the subject: "Anyway, it is exactly what we want when Thief Li comes for peace talks. We don't want to fight with him in the first place. If he can leave, it will actually be a good idea."
For our Runing Army, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."
"Exactly!" Wu Shigong also nodded, "Otherwise, who would let them go? At least they would have to suffer a lot. But the current situation is even better. Then Li Zicheng was generous and gave it to me.
The items cost more than one hundred thousand taels. However, they are all antique jades, and it is very troublesome to sell them. There is only very little gold and silver, so it is better to send us food at a discount to save us the trouble!"
"Don't let Shopkeeper Yuan hear what you said!" Xue Yongli also joked. Every time Runing's army handles the seizures, Sihai Commercial Bank makes a fortune, so Xue Yongli makes such a joke.
"Give me the order! Let Zug get out of the way, and tell Rusong not to pursue too closely. Uncle Yongli, go to Kaifeng City!" After thinking for a while, Wu Shigong began to give the order.
"What? My uncle, you don't want to go to Kaifeng?" Xue Yongli said in surprise.
Wu Shigong nodded: "There are too many officials there. I feel uncomfortable with the hypocrisy, so I won't go into the city. But Uncle Yongli, after you go to Kaifeng, you have to ask Chen Yongfu to come here obediently."
"Hmm!"
"
"Who wants that reputation!" Wu Shigong waved his hand modestly and smiled, "Actually, I have a secret message for you Uncle Yongli. I have been a little tired of keeping my word for so many years. I have been thinking about when I can regret my promise.
