In Caiyang City, there is the Green Forest Army Camp and the Central Army Tent.
The generals from both sides took their seats in the camps.
Sitting in the middle are the two commander-in-chiefs of the army, Wang Kuang and Liu Yan. Sitting on Wang Kuang's left hand side are all the generals of the Green Forest Army. Sitting on Liu Yan's right side are all the generals of the Zhutian Army.
It's just that the number of people on both sides is completely disproportionate.
There were less than ten people on the side of Zhu Tianjun. Guards such as Xu Ying, Xu Fei, Xu Ting, etc. were all waiting outside the tent and did not come in.
On the other hand, the Green Forest Army's generals alone were completely covered in darkness, at least dozens of them.
Before the two sides had formal talks, a soldier came in from outside. He first bowed deeply to Wang Kuang, then walked up to Wang Feng and whispered: "General, there is indeed a brother named Liu Xuan in our army."
Opposite Liu Ci was listening with his ears pricked up. Although the soldier's words were not loud, he still heard clearly. He subconsciously stood up and asked, "Are you really my nephew?"
Wang Feng smiled at Liu Ci and said, "General Liu Ci, would you like to meet Liu Xuan later?"
If he were someone else, he would naturally put the overall situation first, talk about business matters first, and then take care of personal matters. But Liu Ci was not someone else. He waved his hands impatiently and said, "No need! I want to see him now! Where is A Xuan, take me there immediately he!"
Wang Feng smiled and nodded to his soldiers. The soldier turned around and walked up to Liu Ci, raised his hands and said, "General, please!"
Without saying a word, Liu Ci followed the soldiers and strode out.
After he left, everyone in the Green Forest Army on the opposite side breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Yan and Liu Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, the Chinese army tent became quiet. Liu Yan was the first to break the silence. He cleared his throat and said: "After entering the city, I found that Cai Yang is much more depressed than before!"
In the south of Nanyang, Caiyang is a big county, and Caiyang City is also a big city. It is not overcrowded, but it is still lively on weekdays. But when I went into the city today, I saw that many shops were closed and there were many fewer pedestrians on the street.
Wang Kuang coughed awkwardly and glanced at Wang Feng out of the corner of his eye. The latter smiled dryly and said: "When our army just invaded Caiyang, the county troops were scattered throughout the city, encircling and suppressing various counties. In the process of fighting, our soldiers will inevitably accidentally injure local people. This is all a misunderstanding. I hope General Liu can forgive me!"
Liu Yan sighed heavily and said: "Our army rose up in Caiyang, and I feel uneasy when I see the people of Caiyang suffering today."
The generals of the Green Forest Army looked at each other, and Chen Mu asked: "So, General Liu wants our army to withdraw from Caiyang?"
Before Liu Yan could speak, Liu Xiu, who was opposite Chen Mu, answered: "After the two armies form an alliance, the Green Forest Army will naturally go north to Jiyang to join forces with our army and fight to the death with the county government."
The implication is that it is inevitable for the Green Forest Army to leave Cai Yang, and there is no need for Liu Yan to mention it again.
Chen Mu's face darkened, he looked at Liu Xiu and did not answer. Liu Yan said slowly: "I heard that the Green Forest Army brothers robbed a lot of property from the people of Caiyang."
Everyone in the Green Forest Army narrowed their eyes in unison.
Liu Yan continued: "If the Green Forest Army really lacks military pay, food and grass, our army will still have some surplus, which can be divided among the Green Forest Army brothers. I only hope that the Green Forest Army brothers can return the property they robbed from the people in full."
That's too much! Chen Mu was almost furious and said in a bad tone: "General Liu, Cai Yang was captured by our army!"
According to the rules, whoever conquers the city should own everything in the city.
The Green Forest Army already cared about the face of the Zhu Tian Army and knew that Cai Yang was of extraordinary significance to the Zhu Tian Army, so they only robbed some property on the day they invaded Cai Yang and did not do anything to the people of Cai Yang after that.
Liu Yan was good. Not only did he not appreciate the kindness, but when he arrived in Cai Yang, he used his nose instead of his nose and his face instead of his face to accuse him. Isn't this bullying and going too far?
"No matter who conquered the city, not a penny of the money of the people in the city can be touched!"
Liu Yan looked directly at Chen Mu and said in a solemn voice: "In the past, I didn't care what the rules of the Green Forest Army were. In short, after forming an alliance, everyone will be one body. Everyone will be prosperous and everyone will be harmed. Military rules and disciplines must be strict."
Who are you? It's all my fault! Just as Chen Mu was about to get angry and reprimand, Liu Yan added: "If you still want to use the banner of the Han Army in the future!"
This sentence shocked Wang Kuang, and he quickly waved his hand to Chen Mu, who had already opened his mouth, and told him to shut up.
Liu Yan's words are not unreasonable. If we want to carry the banner of the Han army in the future, we can no longer plunder the people's property wantonly. Military regulations and disciplines must be strict.
Furthermore, the reason why the Zhutian Army was quickly accepted by the local people wherever they went was, of course, the harmonious relationship with the local nobles, but the more important point was that the Zhutian Army had strict military discipline and did not arouse public anger.
Wang Kuang nodded and said: "The general is right. After that, I will order the brothers to return the stolen property."
Liu Yan smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, General Wang!"
"You're welcome, General." Wang Kuang returned the salute with his hands in hand.
Seeing this, Chen Mu's nose was almost crooked with anger. He grabbed the tea cup in front of him and poured it directly into his throat, regardless of whether the tea inside was hot or not. Then he slammed the cup on the table in front of him to express his feelings. own dissatisfaction.
Wang Kuang only glanced at him, pretending not to see anything, and said to Liu Yan: "It seems that the general has agreed to the alliance between your and our armies and become one!"
"Exactly!"
Wang Kuang laughed when he heard this, looked around at everyone present, and said loudly: "From now on, Lulin and Zhutian are one family, and the brothers in the two armies are all brothers!"
Chen Mu took a deep breath, with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Even if we are brothers, we should distinguish between elders and younger ones!"
Liu Yan deliberately pretended to be confused and asked: "What does General Chen mean by this?"
Chen Mu said: "After the two armies merge, who will make the decision?"
This is the focus of today's alliance. In the view of the Green Forest Army generals, their own side has more people and is more powerful, while Zhu Tian's army is less powerful. After the merger, it should be their own side that makes the decision.
But Zhu Tianjun also had the same idea.
Who are the Green Forest Army? Bandits! A rabble with no reputation. What is our origin? We are descendants of the Liu family, descendants of the Han royal family! When the two armies merge, our side should be the leader.
Liu Ji responded: "Since everyone is going to fly the Han flag in the future, we, the Zhutian Army, should make the decision!"
"Haha!" Chen Mu was so angry that he threw his head up and laughed, and said: "How many people do you have in Zhutian's army? I have 50,000 soldiers in Green Forest, how can you compare with Zhutian?"
His words were not an exaggeration. The Xinshi Army plus the Pinglin Army already numbered more than 30,000 people. Plus the Xiajiang Army, which was not developing in Nanyang, the total number must indeed be 50,000.
Liu Ji said proudly: "Winning a war does not rely on large numbers of people, but on the essence rather than the masses! If it is a mob, let alone fifty thousand, even half a million, it will be completely vulnerable!"
His words immediately angered many generals on the opposite side. After hearing two roars, two strong generals of the Green Forest Army wearing armor stood up and asked Liu Ji sternly: "Who do you think you are?"
mob?"
These two people, one is Zhu Tuna and the other is Shen Tujian, are both the number one generals in the Green Forest Army.
Liu Ji didn't pay attention to the two of them at all. He raised the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and pointed at the two of them casually, and said slowly: "Like this, I, Liu Ji, can fight ten of them!"
The Clay Bodhisattva still has three parts of earth nature, not to mention that the Green Forest Army is not a kind person. After hearing Liu Ji's words, Zhu Tuna and Shen Tujian's lungs almost exploded with anger.
The two of them both shouted loudly, stepped across the small table in front of them, came to the center of the Chinese military tent, and yelled at Liu Ji with his beard blown in his eyes: "Liu Ji, don't be arrogant. If you have the ability, come out and fight!"
Wang Kuang waved his hands to the two of them and said: "General Zhu, General Shentu, peace is the most precious thing, and my brothers should regard harmony as the most precious thing!"
Although he was trying to dissuade the fight, he was just talking about it and did not mean to strongly dissuade him.
After all, he is the leader of the Green Forest Army, so naturally he must stand on the Green Forest Army's side and seek the greatest interests for the Green Forest Army.
Liu Ji was indeed too crazy, and Wang Kuang also hoped that his generals could suppress Liu Ji's arrogance.
Furthermore, by suppressing Liu Ji's arrogance, he could also take advantage of the situation and crush the Zhutian Army.
Our own side has more than 50,000 people, while the Zhutian Army only has more than 5,000 people. After the two armies merge, it would be too shameful and unjustifiable if the Zhutian Army still takes the lead!
Liu Ji had never been afraid of a fight in his life. Seeing Zhu Tuna and Shen Tujian shouting at him, he smiled, stood up and walked over, cracking the knuckles of his fingers with a crunching sound, and said:
"Want to fight with me? Fine, I'll use you two boys to relax your muscles today!"
Shen Tujian was so angry that he didn't know what to say. He roared and rushed towards Liu Ji. When Liu Ji approached, he hugged Liu Ji's waist with both hands and tried hard with his arms, yelling and trying to throw him to the ground.
.
But Liu Ji stood there, not moving at all. No matter how hard Shen Tujian tried, he remained standing like a big tree.
Seeing this, everyone in the Green Forest Army was shocked. Shentu Jian was also known for his bravery, but in front of Liu Ji, he was like an ant shaking a tree. This Liu Ji was really not simple, and he was really arrogant!
Seeing that Shen Tu Jian could not subdue Liu Ji by himself, Zhu Tuna didn't care about humiliating him by beating him too much. He quickly stepped forward and, like Shen Tu Jian, hugged Liu Ji's waist. The two of them wanted to work together to defeat Liu Ji.
Moved to the ground.
It was a pity that it was useless. Liu Ji still stood there, motionless, with his two feet nailed to the ground like nails.
Zhu Tuna and Shen Tujian kept exerting their strength, and the two of them screamed from time to time. But Liu Ji, on the other hand, looked calm and even cheerful. To the people around him, it was like two children talking to an adult.
fight.
Liu Ji didn't even look at the two people holding his waist. He glanced at the generals of the Green Forest Army and asked, "Is there anyone else who is dissatisfied? Don't come one by one. If you are dissatisfied, come together."
Bar!"
The expressions of everyone in the Green Forest Army changed greatly.
After Liu Ji looked at it, he looked up to the sky and laughed. He stretched out his hands, grabbing Zhu Tuna's back armor with one hand and Shen Tucheng's back armor with the other. He didn't see him accumulating or exerting force. He just raised his arms casually.
, and then look at Zhu Tuna and Shen Tu Jian, each weighing a hundred or dozens of kilograms, and they were actually lifted above his head by Liu Ji.
This situation made everyone in the Green Forest Army horrified and dumbfounded.
