Wang Guangen was worthy of being called a loach-like figure by Li Zicheng. As soon as he got on his horse, he smiled with a smile on his face, cupped his fists and shouted: "Brother Jiexuan, you can stay in this secluded place to make it easier for me to find you! How about we break into the camp?"
"
"TOEFL, everything is fine. Brother Guansuo, we are going to fight together again."
"Haha, brothers who broke into the camp, let's go down the mountain and set up camp, and let's talk in the tent."
Li Laiheng, Bai Wang, and Gao Yigong all looked at Liu Zongmin. When the chief sentry nodded, they went back to organize their troops. They pulled all the remaining troops of the intruders, about 500 people in total, down the mountain. Wang Guangen and him
The third brother, Wang Chang, led the men and horses of the camp and set up camp at a place beside the mountain road where an unfrozen stream flowed.
"Please wait a moment, my brother." Wang Guangen waved to his soldiers and said, "Send the gift this way!"
Immediately, someone brought a mule and a horse, and Wang Guangen said with a smile: "We are going to fight together, so we must get a meeting gift. Here are a few stones of grain, dozens of silks, and five hundred taels of silver.
I put it on a mule, and also gave me a war horse. This is really not a sign of respect, it is just a tribute from a thousand miles away, I hope I will accept it."
After speaking, Wang Guangen bowed deeply.
As the saying goes, don’t hit those with smiling faces, even if Li Laiheng had a bad impression of them because he was coercing women in the camp. At this moment, I have to admire "Hua Guansuo" for being a human being. He is really like a loach, slippery.
Liu Zongmin also hurriedly returned the gift. Although he was older than Wang Guangen, his prestige and reputation in the green forest were also higher than Wang Guangen. But after all, Wang Guangen was the leader of an independent battalion in the coalition, and his status was as high as that of Li Zicheng. He was so embarrassed to give gifts like this
Bowing to each other, Liu Zongmin no longer knows how to behave, but he still has to treat each other with courtesy.
"Brother, what are you talking about? You are a hero from a feudal lord, and I am just a lieutenant under Zicheng. How can you accept such courtesy from me? I am really in a difficult situation here, and there is nothing to reciprocate. Kecheng, you can go to Guanying
Send five firecrackers and dozens of kilograms of gunpowder, don't weaken our etiquette."
Previously, he had dug holes into the camp and buried most of the valuable materials. The only things he brought with him in the team were some military equipment, so Liu Zongmin wanted to return the gift and only sent back some firecrackers and medicine.
The loot captured during the raid in Shangzhou.
Gu Kecheng led seven or eight people to carry firecrackers and medicine and went down the mountain first. Wang Guangen also asked his third brother Wang Chang to also lead a dozen people to send grain, silk, cloth and silver to the mountain. Although the two sides seemed to be in harmony on the surface, it was obvious that
We are still quite wary of each other. After all, no matter whether we are breaking into the camp or closing the camp, we are now behind enemy lines, beside the bedside of the officers and soldiers. No one can guarantee whether they will be betrayed by friendly forces.
After the people on both sides exchanged gifts, they slowly felt relieved. However, Bai Wang and Gao Yigong also persuaded Liu Zongmin not to take the troops to Wang Guangen's camp to rest. It was best to set up a camp by himself when breaking into the camp.
They were stationed on the edge of the camp. This was not because they did not trust their friendly forces, but it was actually an instinct after hundreds of battles. None of them dared to bet on Wang Guangen's loyalty.
Wang Guangen was not angry when he saw this. He naturally knew the purpose of Chuangying's actions. "Hua Guansuo" was a smooth man and would not deliberately embarrass his allies at this time. Instead, he asked his third brother Wang Chang to send Chuangying
Some thatch, bedding and wood needed to build a tent.
"Currently, officers and soldiers from Huguang, Shaanxi, and Sichuan are gathered in more than ten nearby counties, with a total of more than 10,000 people. We are weak when we are divided, but strong when we are united. To fight back to Yiling, you and I need to work together!"
After "Hua Guansuo" said this, he bowed again, and then turned around and returned to the camp of Guanying. He was extremely smooth in doing things, and there was no leakage. No wonder Li Zicheng emphasized several times that Wang Guangen was like a loach and unpredictable.
An elusive character.
After setting up the camp, the soldiers who broke into the camp followed the leaders of each team back to rest. After Li Laiheng settled the soldiers of the Little Tiger Team, he ordered Uncle Qing to stay in the camp to manage chores, and also asked him to take care of Hao Yaoqi and not
Let him do whatever he wants. He followed Bai Wang and Gao Yigong to Liu Zongmin's tent to discuss military plans.
Liu Zongmin's tent was also hastily built and looked very crude. However, Liu Zongmin, the general sentry, was originally a rough and unruly man. He was sitting on a bench with his right foot on the seat. He was still talking.
I came down and was cracking watermelon seeds.
The two lieutenants, Gu Kecheng and Xin Sizhong, were on Liu Zongmin's left and right sides. Gu Kecheng had just arrived after setting up camp. The sleeve of his right arm was still rolled up, revealing a dragon-like tattoo. No wonder he was nicknamed "Nine Tiao"
"Dragon". Xin Sizhong looked younger than Gu Kecheng, and his face looked a bit childish and childish. He brought stools to Li Laiheng, Bai Wang, and Gao Yigong and invited everyone to sit down together.
Everyone sat in front of Liu Zongmin and watched him cracking melon seeds. After the chief whistler finished cracking a handful of melon seeds, he shook his head, shook the melon seed peels off his body, and said: "Everyone,
What do you think of Wang Guangen?"
Li Laiheng thought of the way Guan camp coerced women, frowned, and replied first: "I see that there are many young women in the 'Hua Guansuo' camp. They don't look like family members of their old camp, but they look like they were robbed."
A good woman from a good family. Uncle Jiexuan, the military discipline in Guanying seems not to be very good."
Liu Zongmin tapped the table with his index finger and said: "Whether military discipline is good or not depends on who you compare with. Compared with us, Guanying cannot compare. But as far as I know about the various rebel armies, Guanying's military discipline and combat effectiveness are better."
It’s really not bad. At the very least, Wang Guangen is definitely better than Xiang Huiden, and the military discipline in the Guan camp is much better than that in the Mixed camp.”
"The little tiger has probably only seen one of our rebel troops break into the camp. He probably doesn't know how to plunder women like Guanying, but it can be kept in the camp. It's pretty good. If it was Prime Minister Huiden's mixed camp, it might be
I chopped him up with a knife after I finished playing with him."
"Mr. Liu is right." Bai Wang also nodded. He is not related to Li Zicheng like Li Laiheng and Gao Yigong. Therefore, he does not refer to Liu Zongmin as a title, but still uses the honorific title "General Shao", "I think Guanyingli
The skin of those women is fairly fair, and there are no signs of menial work on their hands. They were probably raised in the camp by Wang Guangen and others. If we break into the camp, we will of course be executed by military law, but if we leave it to other rebels
, in fact, it’s considered military discipline.”
Li Laiheng was a little surprised by this. He only knew a lot about Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's troops. He didn't even know much about Luo Rucai, the equally famous Cao Ying. As for Wang Guangen's Guanying, he didn't know much about them.
Understood, and after hearing Liu Zongmin and Bai Wang's explanations, I had a more accurate and clear understanding of the various rebel armies.
What he was thinking about was that the military discipline of the various rebel armies was so lax that it might have affected the reputation of the Chuang Army. It is no wonder that many literati treated them equally and placed many unfounded rumors on the head of the Chuang Army.
Li Zicheng later merged with Luo Rucai and He Yilong, and reorganized the various rebel armies. It was indeed necessary.
"Uncle Jiexuan, do you think Wang Guangen is unreliable?" Gao Yigong heard the hidden meaning of Liu Zongmin's question. He also felt that Wang Guangen was too smooth and not a particularly reliable partner.
"Yes, Hua Guansuo and I have fought together for several years and have a close relationship." Liu Zongmin nodded. He brought Gu Kecheng a cup of tea and talked while drinking, "There are three brothers Wang Guangen, except Wang Guangen himself and him.
In addition to the third brother Wang Chang, there is also a second brother Wang Guangtai who hangs out with the Yaohuang Thirteenth family. He often hedges his bets. When we played against Hong Chengchou in the past, Wang Guangen did something like li Tongguanjun. It was just because of Hong Chengchou
The killing was so powerful that it frightened him, so Guan Suo has followed us in the rebellion until now."
"Furthermore, Wang Guangen is a man who, to put it mildly, can cause trouble; to put it harshly, he can be said to be slippery. People like him have hidden hidden agendas. The current situation has forced us together, but we all have
You should be careful and always be wary of people like Wang Guangen, just in case something happens."
Li Laiheng didn't pay much attention to Liu Zongmin's vulgar remarks, but now looking at the comparison of troops, there were only about 500 troops in the Chuang camp, while there were more than a thousand troops in the Guan camp. If the Guan camp was unreliable, how could we fight this battle?
"Uncle Jixuan, the only troops left for us by the master are me, Brother Gao, and Brother Bai, plus Uncle Jie
After a rough look, I'm afraid there are almost a thousand people. If Wang Guangen is not reliable, it will be difficult for us to counterattack Yiling with only 500 people."
"Little Tiger, do you really think that your Uncle Jiexuan is a rough man?" Liu Zongmin laughed twice, patted his chest and said, "We, Old Liu, are also people who know how to cause trouble. We asked you to beware of Guan Ying, didn't we say
I won’t cooperate with him anymore. I know Wang Guangen very well, and he will definitely participate in the Yiling battle. But at the critical moment, if the casualties are too great, with his slippery temperament, he will most likely run away, or even ask us to give him a hand.
He bears thunder. I tell you to beware of him, just be careful not to bear thunder in vain."
