269 is back
"Report to the country, the Li thief has fled back!"
Zhang Mingwei was very disappointed when he heard this message, and the situation eventually developed for the worst.
With this in mind, he got up and went out of the tent to watch.
Sure enough, in the direction of Li Zicheng's camp, there was a thunderous cheer, if it wasn't for something very happy, of course the thieves over there couldn't be so happy! It can be heard from that happy tone that this is not fake!
"Okay, come back, come back, I'll clean you up!" Zhang Mingwei thought so in his heart, so he went back to sleep again.
…………………………
On the side of Li Zicheng's camp, many bandit leaders all surrounded Li Zicheng and returned to the Chinese military tent. The lights are bright and the sound of joy is thundering.
In fact, only the elite of the Rogue camp are so happy, and most of the Rogue Lord's place is actually very quiet.
"General, it's good to be back, it's good!"
"Yes, I'll just say, the general Jiren will definitely be able to come back if he has his own heavenly appearance!"
“……”
Under the lighting of the torches, Li Zicheng was actually a little embarrassed, the blindfold was gone, and the eye that was shot by the arrow was bare, which made Li Zicheng look a little hideous.
But at this time, he opened his mouth and kept laughing, even if he had never been so happy before, as if he had not escaped, but returned victorious.
In fact, Li Zicheng can't be blamed for this, he is indeed very happy.
Originally, he thought that this time the whole army was finished. He himself was chased by the imperial court officials all the way, and fled to the east desperately, and he didn't know if he could escape alive at that time.
And he also knew that although he merged with Luo Rucai, in the end, he ended up cheapening the officials and soldiers of the imperial court. When he fled, he already knew that all the men and horses in Luo Rucai's camp were finished.
After being safe, he began to worry about his big camp again? Don't be attacked by the imperial court officials and soldiers, and you are unprepared in your own camp because of the suddenness of the incident, so that if you are defeated, then everything is really over!
Therefore, when Li Zicheng came back with a nervous mood and found that the camp was safe and sound, the happy mood was really indescribable.
At this time, listening to these henchmen in the Chinese military tent happily congratulating him, Li Zicheng laughed and hurriedly asked him about the situation after leaving.
After listening to the general content, Li Zicheng walked in front of Song Xiance, slapped him on the shoulder, and said in a very respectful tone: "It is worthy of being the military advisor I value the most!" ”
"This is what I should do!" Song Xiance hurriedly replied, then turned his head to look at the others, and said to Li Zicheng, "It is also thanks to the concerted efforts of many brothers that we are able to keep the camp from losing!" ”
Hearing this, the faces of the other people in the Zhongjun tent became very good-looking, and even Niu Jinxing lost his jealous face.
Li Zicheng listened, suddenly clasped his fists with both hands, and bowed to the others very solemnly: "With the help of your brothers, if I Li Zicheng achieves something in the future, I will definitely share the glory and wealth with all my brothers. ”
"I am willing to die for the general!" The others in the Chinese military tent responded with their fists clenched in unison.
After Li Zicheng sat down again, Song Xiance and the others wisely did not ask him how he escaped, because they saw that Li Guo, Zhang Nai and the others were all wounded, and few of the cavalry they led returned, so they could guess what the situation was.
At this time, Li Zicheng, because the situation was far better than he expected, was overjoyed and his spirit was also very excited, so he asked about the affairs of the imperial court officials and soldiers.
When he heard that his side had killed and injured many troops who rushed out of Kaifeng Mansion, and that the integration of the imperial court officials and troops on Luo Rucai's camp was still continuing, he said to everyone in the Chinese army's tent: "Take advantage of the fact that the official army has not finished reorganizing Luo Rucai's men and horses......
When he said this, Li Zicheng's heart ached, those people and horses were originally his, but now they are cheaper than the Xingguo Gong.
After trying to calm down, he continued: "I will go to war tomorrow, at least to destroy the people and horses of the imperial court officials and army to reorganize Luo Rucai, so that we can continue to fight a decisive battle with the imperial court officials and troops!" ”
"The general is back, the morale of our army is high, I think we can fight!" Niu Jinxing listened and hurriedly echoed with a smile.
"yes, fuck it!" Liu Zongmin also gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "You must not be cheap for the imperial court officials!" We can't get it, and the officials and soldiers of the court can't think of it! ”
"Yes, otherwise, the strength of the imperial court officials and soldiers will increase greatly, how will we fight them in the future?" Yuan Zongdi also hurriedly echoed when he heard this.
“……”
Just when many people in the Chinese military tent wanted to fight, Song Xiance came out and poured cold water and said: "General, you can't fight!" ”
When Li Zicheng heard this, he was immediately unhappy. However, thinking of Song Xiance's contributions, he did not show his displeasure, but asked expressionlessly: "Why?" ”
"When the general returns, the morale of our army is high, but the morale of the officials and soldiers of the imperial court is also very high!" Song Xiance replied sincerely, "Luo Rucai's men and horses must also hate us to death, if we want to fight, the loss of troops must be very serious, is the general willing, is it worth it?" ”
"When did we ever have a heartache when it comes to the consumption of troops? When have you ever been scared? When Liu Zongmin heard this, he immediately asked with a little curiosity.
Why Song Xiance said such a thing, he was a little incomprehensible.
Of course, Song Xiance knew that the troops consumed by Liu Zongmin were actually those cannon fodder, however, in the face of the main force of the imperial court's official army, those cannon fodder had actually proved to be of little use.
Therefore, Song Xiance explained the situation, and then said to Li Zicheng sincerely: "General, you are not here these days, those court officials and soldiers are singing and shouting, which affects the morale of the army on our side, if ordinary soldiers go to war, I am afraid that there will be another surrender!" ”
Hearing this, Li Zicheng's brows furrowed. He had seen the scene of escape. At this moment, he also understood how much the court officials and soldiers had affected the morale of his subordinates.
According to what Song Xiance said, if you really want to fight tomorrow, you can only send your own elite. However, he was unwilling to use his elite to consume Luo Rucai's men.
Seeing that Li Zicheng was pondering, Niu Jinxing suddenly had an idea, and said to Li Zicheng: "General, since the Xingguo Gong on the opposite side claims to love the people like a son, it is better to do this, let's gather the old and weak women and children in the camp, if it is not enough, go to the surrounding area to catch some, let them block the front, and launch an attack on the court officials and soldiers, and see how he can break it?" ”
When Li Zicheng heard this, his eyes lit up, and his intuition told him that this would be a good way.
If that Xingguo Gong really kills the old and weak women and children without mercy, then his official reputation will definitely be affected, and maybe the opponents in the court will impeach him, even if he is not impeached, it is estimated that he will be restrained.
And if that Xingguo Gong really can't do anything to the old and weak women and children, then he can attack it on his own side, and the most powerful muskets and artillery of the court officials and soldiers will be useless.
He was thinking about it, but Li Guo suddenly said, "No, we can't do this!" Otherwise, the reputation that the general has accumulated with great difficulty will be all over again! ”
In the early years, the thieves drove the old and weak women and children to be cannon fodder, and they really did a lot of things. For them, in order to survive, they even did the rebellion of the Nine Clans, and there was nothing they could do.
But now, under Song Xiance's suggestion, Li Zicheng has begun to pay attention to his reputation and change to the direction of dominating the world.
Therefore, after listening to this, Song Xiance immediately echoed: "General, this time is different from the past, what Brother Li Guo said is right!" ”
Some of the other people in the Chinese military tent echoed Niu Jinxing, and some agreed with Li Guo, but in short, the differences of opinion were quite serious.
When Li Zicheng heard this, he frowned and stopped talking.
He didn't speak, and the other people in the tent didn't speak, and the scene fell silent.
"I'm tired, I'll talk about it tomorrow." After a while, Li Zicheng looked up at them and said.
He was indeed tired, he fled for his life for a few days, and he almost didn't escape, and what he needed most at the moment was rest.
The other people in the Chinese military tent also understood, so they left one after another.
As soon as they left, and there was no one else in the Chinese military tent, Li Zicheng suddenly sighed heavily. Obviously, the joy he had when he first came back was gone.
………………
Of course, Li Laiheng followed his stepfather Li Guo, and along the way, he was concerned about Li Guo's injuries.
Li Guo said indifferently: "It's okay, it's just a little injury!" Recuperate for a few days and you'll be fine. ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered, so he stopped, looked at Li Laiheng and asked with concern: "Didn't you wear the general's helmet to lead away the imperial court officials?" How did you get back? ”
While saying this, he looked Li Laiheng up and down, but he didn't find any injuries, which made him a little curious.
He chased after Li Zicheng to protect him, of course he knew how desperate those court officials and soldiers were to arrest Li Zicheng. Most of the brothers who protected Li Zicheng are finished, including Li Zicheng, who is also desperately trying to protect.
When Li Laiheng saw Li Guo asking this question, his mood suddenly became a little gloomy, and he replied with a little lack of confidence: "I couldn't escape back, I was caught by the official army, and then released by them." ”
"What?" When Li Guo heard this, he was very surprised, and confirmed with a little disbelief, "Didn't they know your identity and let you back?" ”
Those ordinary soldiers have been released before, so Li Guo is not surprised, but it is a little unimaginable that a person with the status of Li Laiheng will be released by the imperial court officials.
