The lack of food and grass entrusted to the officials and soldiers of the imperial court is undoubtedly a fool's dream, but it has consumed a lot of their own food.

While Li Zicheng secretly regretted it, he had no choice but to order the fight.

Because the grain and grass in his army is already a serious problem, rather than a mutiny or something because of the grain and grass problem like this, it is better to take advantage of the current situation to consume more troops of the imperial court.

In addition, not only him, but also the other bandit leaders, had clearly sensed that the morale of their own army was in trouble.

But to fight, you also have to pay attention to a strategy.

No, Li Zicheng immediately invited Luo Rucai to come over the camp to discuss the matter of attacking the camp of the imperial court.

"General, why can't he be allowed to come to our army to discuss matters, and the general must go to his camp?"

"Yes, now there are generals on both sides, how can he be obedient when a military order arrives!"

"No, how could he be a leader like that? said that he would give more grain and grass, which was to send it to Hanako! ”

“”

Facing the complaints of his subordinates, Luo Rucai thought for a while, and finally comforted his subordinates and said: "Forget it, after all, we took the initiative to defect to him, and it is already okay to express our thoughts appropriately in everything." The officials and soldiers of the court are our common enemies, but we can't fight among ourselves first, but let the officials and soldiers of the court take advantage of it! ”

Speaking of this, he paused and then said, "Actually, I also know that there is indeed not much grain and grass on his side. Their troops are still stronger than ours, and they need more food and grass, so they probably have more headaches! ”

Luo Rucai said so, and of course his subordinates had no choice. However, when Luo Rucai passed, he still brought a thousand elites to protect him. Obviously, he is not as he says, and he is still a little wary of Li Zicheng.

"General, Cao Cao actually came here under the banner of General Weide on behalf of the heavens!"

On Li Zicheng's side, Liu Zongmin, the number one general under him, complained hatefully.

When Li Zicheng heard this, of course he didn't hesitate in his heart, but at this time, he had something to discuss with Luo Rucai, so he scolded Liu Zongmin and said: "Don't mention this matter, first discuss the defeat of the court officials and soldiers!" ”

He can still figure out the main contradictions.

In this way, Li Zicheng and Luo Ru met, and the two sides laughed, as if nothing had happened before. Li Zicheng also turned a blind eye to the banner of "General Weide on behalf of the heavens" carried by Luo Rucai, and had a sense of acquiescence.

Since there was no conflict, and there was a common enemy of the imperial court officials and troops opposite, the two sides made an appointment to attack the imperial court official army camp together at noon.

Zhang Mingwei naturally got the first notice of this thief's movements, and he also went out to see it.

I just saw Luo Rucai's team arrive at Li Zicheng's side, but they didn't enter the barracks, the two sides talked for a while at the gate of the barracks, and then, Luo Rucai carried the banner of "General Weide on behalf of the people of the heavens" and led more than 1,000 elite men back to his camp.

"Guogong, the thieves are estimated to be unable to consume, and they are ready to attack our side!" When Zhou Yuji saw it, he hurriedly reminded Zhang Mingwei.

Zhang Mingwei nodded after hearing this and said, "It is estimated that it is almost the same, today is a cloudy day, but it is also a good weather." Order, let's go to war with all arms! ”

"Yes!" When Zhou Yuji and other generals heard this, they immediately clenched their fists and commanded.

Zhang Mingwei looked at the back of Luo Rucai's group, and suddenly asked Yuan Shizhong: "What do you think Li Zicheng's side will think of Luo Rucai's banner of this general who is the general of Tianfu and Weide?" ”

Yuan Shizhong and Li Zicheng have been together for a while, and of course they have the most right to speak. When he saw Guogong asking, he immediately replied: "Guogong, that Li Zicheng is ambitious, and he is no longer satisfied with being the head of a thief. When the last general was there, he had already sensed that he and his subordinates wanted to annex the last general's department, so the last general did not dare to stay there any longer, thinking of going south to find the eight kings. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and then added: "But it is said that the eight kings are also similar to Li Zicheng, and they are not easy to get along with. The last general actually has concerns about going south. ”

Zhang Mingwei is actually the most aware of this.

Originally, in history, Li Zicheng killed Luo Rucai, annexed his men and horses, killed He Yilong, annexed the five battalions of Gezuo, and finally had the greatest power, and after defeating Sun Chuanting, he occupied Qin and ascended the throne as emperor. And Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king, is also about the same, and he is also the emperor after conquering Sichuan and other places.

Sometimes, it is helpful to know the development of history, although history will change at this time. Especially after Zhang Mingwei said this in Yuan Shizhong, he suddenly had an idea in his heart.

At noon, the smoke in the camp was much thicker than usual, apparently because of the overcooking, and the battle was to be fed before the war.

The officials and soldiers of the imperial court also immediately feasted and prepared for battle.

In addition, five or six horsemen suddenly ran out of the imperial court camp and headed towards Luo Rucai's camp.

Of course, before they could get close to Luo Rucai's camp, they were stopped by Luo Rucai's probe horse.

"You go back and tell Luo Rucai, and say that our Guogong said it!" The person headed by the imperial court officials and soldiers was Liu Jin, and he didn't fight with Luo Rucai's Tanma, but just said loudly to the side, "Choose the weak one and attack it, first defeat Luo Rucai's department and then go all out to deal with Li Zicheng's department." If you Luo Rucai want to fight, our Guogong will definitely order the elite of heavy artillery to fight you Luo Rucai first! ”

This is a naked threat, Luo Rucai's probe heard it, and he was furious, but before he could refute, Liu Jin had already turned his horse's head and went back.

Seeing this situation, Luo Rucai's Tanma had no choice, so he had to go back and relay Liu Jin's words to Luo Rucai.

When his generals heard this, they all exploded.

"This court official army is really so arrogant, they dare to make such a blatant threat, who does that Bird Kingdom Duke think of them?"

"That is, they are officials, we are thieves, can the two sides not fight?"

“”

Of course, there are also generals who do not say so.

"General, that Xingguo Gong has a point, if we go to fight, he will definitely hit us first."

"Our original strength is weaker than that of King Chuang, if we fight with the officials and soldiers of the imperial court again, our strength will be greatly reduced, and it will be even more despised!"

"Yes, when the time comes, the new banner of the eldest brother is estimated to be unable to be kept, it is just a joke, and it will have to be removed as soon as it is erected!"

“”

Luo Rucai's face was gloomy, and he listened to his subordinates arguing there, without saying a word.

He actually knew very well in his heart that that Xingguo Gong was a naked threat, that is, he made it clear that he wanted to beat him, and the meaning behind this was not only to despise him Luo Rucai, but also to implicitly provoke the relationship between him and Li Zicheng.

However, if he wants to fight for a breath and not be threatened by the officials and soldiers of the court, then the result of the ten, the officials and troops of the court will inevitably use the main forces against him.

In this way, if the official army of the imperial court can't stop the attack of Li Zicheng's side, it will be the best. But correspondingly, his side will lose a lot.

If Li Zicheng's subordinates made great contributions in this battle, but his own side lost his troops and lost his generals, Luo Rucai didn't have to think about it, he knew that not only would he not get the treatment he deserved, but the people on Li Zicheng's side would be more arrogant, and his future life would be even more sad.

Unless from now on, Luo Rucai is really willing to take Li Zicheng as the master, obey Li Zicheng, and do whatever he wants, otherwise, such a result will definitely not be what he wants.

Thinking about this, Luo Rucai had a gloomy face and shouted to his subordinates: "Enough, don't make any noise." ”

Hearing him speak, his subordinates naturally did not argue anymore, and looked at him one after another, waiting for him to give the order.

"The officials and soldiers of the imperial court want to focus on us, such a blatant threat is really too arrogant." Luo Rucai shouted coldly, "Pass on my general's order, all departments must make full preparations for war, and they must teach the officials and soldiers of the imperial court a hard lesson." Whoever rushes into battle without being ready and suffers heavy losses will not blame me for being ruthless! ”

The words he said were all to stiffen the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, but how could these people present not hear his true intentions, so they hugged their fists one by one to take their lives.

As soon as the appointed time came, the horn of "woo woo woo" sounded, and in the camp of thieves, a group of men and horses drove out of the camp, and after many days, they once again swarmed to the side of the imperial court officials and soldiers, preparing to attack.

However, this time, the imperial court officials and soldiers did not leave the camp, but guarded the camp.

Riding a tall horse and standing under the handsome banner, Li Zicheng was looking at the deployment of the imperial court officials and troops, when he heard Niu Jinxing say to him: "General, Luo Rucai's side has not sent troops yet!" ”

When Li Zicheng heard this, he turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a lot of movement in Luo Rucai's camp in the distance, but the soldiers and horses did not come out.

"The hour has come?" He frowned and asked suddenly.

When Niu Jinxing heard this, he immediately replied: "The hour has come!" ”

This kind of thing is generally impossible to go wrong.

Li Zicheng was immediately unhappy, but this was not the time to care, so he immediately ordered: "Send someone to hurry up!" ”

Riding quickly to Luo Rucai's side, when Li Zicheng's side was ready to attack, Luo Rucai's camp, there was finally movement, and troops were coming out one after another, but it would take some time to wait for that side to be ready, and it seemed that it would take some time.

However, Li Zicheng's side couldn't wait. The so-called one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, if you wait, morale will have a big impact!

So, Li Zicheng sent someone to urge Luo Rucai's side to speed up and cooperate with this side to attack the east of the imperial court official camp as soon as possible. Then, his side could not wait any longer, and had to attack first.
