===============
There was a heavy mood of defeat in Yiling City. The residents in the city looked curiously at the rebel soldiers who had just won the victory, wondering why they all looked downcast. Li Laiheng was walking on the street, and he looked at the soldiers who had just won the victory.
A group of soldiers from the Cao camp passed by. Their clothes and armor were in disarray, and their weapons were dragged casually on the ground or hung on their shoulders. It looked like the troops were very messy and unorganized.
The news of Zhang Xianzhong's successive defeats at Manao Mountain and Hanxi Temple shocked the coalition commanders who had not yet recovered from the victory at Xiangyouping. Luo Rucai accepted Li Zicheng's suggestion and hurriedly sent Zhao Yingyuan and Xiao Yingyuan, the banner and drummers sent to Yuan'an County.
Qin Wang Baigui's troops retreated to the vicinity of Yiling. However, under the guidance of Wang Guang'en, the army transferred a large number of Qin troops originally deployed in Xing'an to intercept Zhang Xianzhong in the direction of Pingli to western Hubei, and drove southward to Fengshan County in Xingshan County.
Yiping defeated the Hun Wang Wu Ziqiang, Fatty Zhang Zhang Zixiu and others, and also broke through Cao Ying's old stronghold.
Wu Ziqiang and Zhang Zixiu led 4,000 men and women to surrender to the army at Yangjiao Village, and the coalition suddenly lost a wing. Cao's camp lost its old camp again, and a large number of family members and prisoners were captured by the army. Luo Rucai could not help but feel that he was alone and alone.
As a result, everyone in Cao Ying fell into an extremely depressed state.
"Liu Guoneng is really nothing!"
Hao Yaoqi, who was following Li Laiheng, scolded that Liu Guoneng was from Yan'an. He revolted at the same time as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and called himself Chuangtantian. He was also a famous figure among the leaders of the early uprising. In the autumn of the tenth year of Chongxu, the uprising army fell into a low ebb.
At that time, this person who claimed to be a hero began to waver and no longer wanted to break into the sky.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, he first surrendered in Suizhou, knelt shamelessly in front of Xiong Wencan and said: "You can be an ignorant and foolish man who has been involved in injustice for almost ten years. He really deserves death. Fortunately, sir
Give kindness outside the law, give the villain a new path, wash away his past sins, and be reborn. He is willing to lead all his men to enlist in the military, serve under his command, and do his best for the court!"
Xiong Wencan was very happy, said some words of comfort and encouragement, and gave him the position of acting garrison officer, under the command of Zuo Liangyu. He carefully obeyed Zuo Liangyu's restraints without any second thoughts, and was willing to be a loyal eagle dog of the court.
He lured his old friend Li Wanqing and other leaders to surrender, and was promoted from acting guard to deputy commander-in-chief.
If Liu Guoneng had not disguised himself as a grain transport team and penetrated into the Western Camp to cooperate with the inside and outside, Zhang Xianzhong would not have suffered such a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Manao Mountain, and the entire rebel army would be in trouble. The more Hao Yaoqi thought about it, the more angry he became.
I knew Liu Guoneng back then, so how could this man be so unloyal?
"Damn it, you don't know that in charge of the team. Liu Guoneng, that bastard, named himself Chuang Taotian, but he always wanted to be favored by the court. I scolded him in person: 'Old Liu, I don't think you know how to do it.
If you break into the sky, sooner or later you will break into someone else's crotch! Look, what I said has come true!"
Li Laiheng shook his head. He knew that Liu Guoneng was a very capable person in the rebel army, but everyone had their own ambitions. Liu Guoneng petitioned to be a hawk for the court and suppress his old brothers.
Does Liu Guoneng think that this can be beneficial to the cause and let the people live a good life? But Li Laiheng knows that Liu Guoneng will eventually perish miserably due to lack of food and pay, under the "watching" of many friendly troops. Liu Guoneng thinks that he can
The imperial court that was trying to clean up the troubled times was no longer worthy of being called a domestic machine. It was just a facade, occupying countless resources of the Han people, and then continued to send heads to the Manchus, providing the greatest assistance to the Manchus in conquering the Central Plains.
Li Laiheng asked Hao Yaoqi: "Victory is victory, defeat is defeat. I heard that seven of the eight kings' nine wives were captured by the army. Even military advisor Pan Duao was arrested by Zuo Liangyu. This is Xiying
I was not careful and allowed Zuo Liangyu to earn money in the old camp. I can't blame others."
"Damn it, this is just a trick of the bastard Liu Guoneng." Hao Yaoqi was still unconvinced. He cursed bitterly, "Can what they did be called a war? This is considered a war, but they are joking with me!"
Li Laiheng felt that Hao Yaoqi was not like a veteran who had been fighting for ten years, but he was a living treasure. However, his optimistic spirit that was not affected by the rebels' consecutive defeats was worthy of encouragement. Li Laiheng laughed and said: "Hahaha, waving the flag, this
It's a war, and you can't just use brute force in a war... You should also remember to be careful in the future, don't be fooled by others. We always have the opportunity to fight against Lao Yang and Lao Zuo again, and that Liu Neng, if there is a chance, he will be killed
If you catch him, I will hand him over to you."
"Okay, you wait for me here. I'll go to the old camp to meet my adoptive father. We'll go back to the Little Tiger Squad and talk about these things in detail later." Li Laiheng handed over his hand and asked Hao Yaoqi to take a rest outside the old camp. He went in by himself.
Old camp, go find Li Guo who is assisting Tian Jianxiu in organizing camp affairs.
The old camp that broke into the camp borrowed the examination room in Yiling City, and Mrs. Gao and the women quickly built many practical cabins. Mrs. Gao was also very talented. Tian Jianxiu and Wu Ruyi often led troops in wars.
The work of raising food and wages was not enough to take care of. Most of the burden of logistics and food payment was borne by Mrs. Gao, because she was a big-footed person and could not read a few words, so she often asked Xiao Ci who could read and write to help and deal with it together.
Some logistical affairs of the old camp.
Li Laiheng just walked into the old camp, and before he could find the shadow of his adoptive father Li Guo, he saw a familiar kitten flying into him. He hugged the cat with both hands and watched the kitten run after him.
You Ci came and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a while, Li Nu's hair is much thicker now."
This mousecatcher cat in the old camp has been under the care of Youci. Although she used to be a rich lady, during her time in the old camp, she worked hard and learned a lot of skills in taking care of others. Therefore, she took good care of the little cat.
It was so good that when Li Laiheng held the kitten in his hands, he could feel the fluffy texture. Thanks to You Ci's careful care, Li Laiheng's hair looked smooth and thick, very healthy and beautiful.
Li Laiheng stretched lazily in Li Laiheng's arms, and actually looked a bit charming. You Ci was very angry when she saw it. She puffed up her cheeks on both sides, like a sulky little rabbit, and stretched out her arms.
He poked the raccoon slave several times with his calloused fingers from long-term labor in the old camp.
Li Laiheng laughed twice, and quickly turned his body to block You Ci with his arms to protect the kitten. He tilted his head, stared at You Ci's fingers, and suddenly stopped laughing. Li Laiheng suddenly felt
When Youci faced the hardships of life in the old camp, she was a lady who did not have to do such menial work. It was he who brought her into the world of the rebels.
"You Ci, your fingers are calloused. If you are very tired in the old camp, just tell me and I will ask Mrs. Gao to talk to you. At such a young age, you can do less menial work." Li Laiheng
Feeling guilty, he said to Youci with a bit of apology in his eyes in what he thought was a gentle tone, "I originally promised that when the general captured a famous city and a large county, I would buy Youci a nice big house to live in. Unfortunately, Xi
The camp suffered a disastrous defeat at Agate Mountain, which has put us into trouble again. We don’t know how long we will postpone the matter of building a separate garden for you."
Youci shook her head eagerly. She used so much force that she almost shook her hair away, like a little rabbit running happily in the rain. Youci didn't feel that life in the old camp was hard, but because Mrs. Gao often taught her how to do it.
Managing the logistics of the camp enabled her to help with major events in the camp, gaining a full sense of self-esteem and satisfaction.
Although she is not mute, the root cause of the illness caused by being frightened by the rebels in the past has not completely recovered, and she is still unable to speak properly. But compared to before, Youci can now barely pronounce some words. She murmured indistinctly.
Although Li Laiheng couldn't hear a few words clearly, he knew that You Ci was talking about life in the old camp.
Li Laiheng pinched You Ci's cheek and asked, "Okay, where is my adoptive father? I have to go see him and discuss some important matters."
After Youci gently brushed his hand twice, with a little dissatisfaction and resentment, he pulled the corner of Li Laiheng's clothes several times, then pinched Li Laiheng's thigh, and then told him the location of Li Guo and others. Li Laiheng
Monk Zhang Er was also careless and didn't know when he had offended You Ci. Not only did the breakfast she served recently taste strange, but You Ci pinched her from time to time.
He had a puzzled look on his face, but his thoughts were already on Li Guo's side, so he patted Youci's little head and said goodbye to her, "Youci's size is also growing very fast. Although it is still far less than Miss Luo, from now on
She will definitely grow into a generous girl."
After a few tugs at You Ci's corner, he finally controlled his impulse and pushed Li Laiheng hard to let him do business. Li Laiheng scratched the back of his head, really not knowing where he had offended the little girl.
Li Laiheng walked all the way to the largest wooden house in the old camp, and unexpectedly discovered that not only Tian Jianxiu and Li Guo were here, but also the old boss Li Zicheng. In addition to Li Zicheng, Tian Jianxiu, and Li Guo, all the other people in the army were here.
High-status generals such as Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang, Liu Tichun and others are also here.
