This year's Chinese New Year's Eve is different from previous years, the situation of the peasant army is the best since the rebellion, the Li Luo coalition army sits on more than 500,000 horses, almost controls the whole of Henan, and as far as the eye can see, there is no army in the whole world that is its opponent, so there is no need to be afraid, and all battalions are happy to celebrate the New Year. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

In the past few days, Li Zicheng and his henchmen, generals, and strategists have been plotting in the mansion, and others naturally don't know what to talk about.

The day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Zicheng and others agreed on a plan, and in the afternoon of the same day, Li Zicheng sent a letter to Luo Rucai and the palms of each battalion, asking him to come to the Generalissimo's Mansion the next night to celebrate the New Year.

Luo Rucai didn't feel anything, this is also a convention, this kind of thing used to be very common, when several peasant armies fought together, when it came to the Spring Festival, it was often the most powerful family to invite guests, eat and drink together, drink and have fun.

At this time, Li Zicheng was the generalissimo, so naturally he set the wine, and asked the leaders of each battalion to take the plate.

Counting Luo Rucai, their coalition army has a total of nine battalions of men and horses, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai are the most powerful, and others such as Yidou Valley, Shocking Thunder, King of Destruction, etc., have only more than 10,000 men and horses.

Everyone received Li Zicheng's letter and naturally agreed.

At dusk on Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone came one after another, and Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin personally stood in front of the mansion to greet them, with a smile on their faces and a kind speech.

When everyone arrived, Li Zicheng gave an order, and the New Year's party began. The whole hall was noisy with laughter, staggering, guessing the boxing order, and it was a mess.

Most of these leaders of the peasant army have never read books, they are authentic market gangsters and ordinary people, so they usually don't pay attention to their appearance, how to be happy, Li Zicheng is always smiling on his face, but the smile is very shallow.

Luo Rucai didn't notice this, his eyes were staring at a dancing girl.

The more people drank and the more they were interested, it was already late at night, and the sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded outside, and it seemed that it was approaching, and the new year was coming.

Li Zicheng stood up, held a glass of wine, and said loudly: "Brothers, please listen to me." ”

Everyone slowly calmed down, looked at Li Zicheng, only to see him scan the venue, and then waved his hand, and the dancers and singers who accompanied the wine and played and sang all retreated.

Li Zicheng raised the cup above his head and said loudly: "Brothers, in the past year, we have worked together to fight to the death with the official army, and finally captured Luoyang and Kaifeng, and the entire Henan is already in the palm of our hands." This victory is not trivial, from now on, our righteous army no longer has to be surrounded and suppressed by the official army, running around, fleeing for their lives in embarrassment, feng shui takes turns, and it will be our turn to encircle and suppress the official army in the future. ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Li Zicheng said: "For the sake of Zijin Liang, King Gao Chuang, and countless brothers who died before, everyone has done this cup." ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in the ruler's glass.

But everyone drank, Li Zicheng didn't drink, and when everyone put down the wine glass, he suddenly slammed the cup that was raised above his head to the ground.

When there was a loud sound, some people's hearts jumped.

As the cup fell to the ground, forty or fifty sword and axe men came out from behind the hall, rushed forward and couldn't help but say, holding down Luo Rucai, someone took a rope and tied Luo Rucai and his two generals together.

Everyone was taken aback, and they didn't know what Li Zicheng was going to do.

Luo Rucai was a little drunk, and he also woke up at this time, shouting, "King Chuang, what are you doing?" Not kidding......"

Li Zicheng sneered: "Who is joking with you, Luo Rucai, you secretly defected to the official army, colluded with Zuo Liangyu, and wanted to plot against you, do you think I don't know?" ”

These words shocked Luo Rucai into a cold sweat, and shouted loudly: "King Chuang, where did you hear this, Pingkong slandered me, when did I collude with Zuo Liangyu?" What is the evidence? Don't fall for someone else's sowing discord. ”

Li Zicheng said: "Without evidence, how can I open my mouth?" You branded the left word on the war horse in the camp, do you think I don't know? ”

Luo Rucai shouted: "This is the idea of my subordinates, in order to separate the war horses of the two sides, there is really no objection." ”

Li Zicheng sneered: "No antipathy? Then why do you want to brand this left word? ”

Luo Rucai couldn't argue, so he had to say: "This is the idea of the strategist in my camp, that Huangzhou Chen Sheng, if you don't believe it, just find him and ask him." ”

Li Zicheng said: "Okay, you send someone to find it immediately." ”

Luo Rucai ordered a Sui Cong to go to the camp to find Chen Sheng immediately, but that Sui Cong went for a long time and brought back a news that Chen Sheng of Huangzhou had disappeared, Luo Rucai rushed to Li Zicheng here with his front foot, and Chen Sheng left the camp with his back foot, and he didn't know where to go from then on. No one ever saw it again.

Luo Rucai secretly complained to himself, and he realized that he had fallen into a big trap. That Huangzhou Chen Sheng, most of whom was pretended to be an official soldier, came to divide him and Li Zicheng, and provoked a dispute between the two tigers.

Li Zicheng sneered: "That Chen Sheng, it must have been sent by the official army to contact you, at this time you fled in fear of crime, what else do you have to say?" ”

Luo Rucai knew that he couldn't help it, and he also stiffened his neck: "As the saying goes, you can share hardships, but you can't share prosperity, now that you have more people and horses, your waist is hard, and you look down on your brothers." You are bent on being the emperor, we can only take refuge in you and be your subordinates, I have a lot of people, and I am in the way of your affairs, if you want to be the emperor, can you still make me the king? I'm afraid that it will also be a knife at that time. ”

Li Zicheng said angrily: "I don't want to be the emperor, I just want all the brothers to have a good life, no matter who overthrew the Ming Dynasty, after that, everyone sat down to discuss, but if you go to the official army, you are sorry for the dead and the living leaders." ”

Luo Rucai laughed: "Li Zicheng, don't say it so nicely, is there anything to discuss about being the emperor?" You have the most people right now, who hasn't let you? I, Luo Rucai, don't want to fight with you, but I have hundreds of thousands of subordinates, so I'm so scared that you can't sleep. Instead of worrying in the future, it is better to kill it today, that's what you think, when you lost to Sun Chuanting, why didn't you want to kill me? ”

Li Zicheng said: "What you say is nothing more than empty rhetoric, and I will never tolerate those who surrender to the official army and betray their brothers!" ”

Luo Rucai said: "Betraying my brother, who betrayed my brother?" In order to become the emperor in the future, you first killed your brothers who shared hardships, and you are the ......."

Before he finished speaking, a knife and axe hand behind him raised his hand and slammed it on the back of his head, immediately knocking Luo Rucai unconscious.

Li Zicheng nodded, and the knife and axe men pushed Luo Rucai and the two generals out of the door together.

The palm plate in the room never dreamed that a wedding banquet to celebrate the New Year would turn into a murderous battlefield, and they were all stunned and frozen, and none of them dared to speak.

Everyone was afraid that a word would be wrong, and Li Zicheng was angry and pushed out to kill him.

In the blink of an eye, three sword and axe hands outside the door held three blood-red wooden plates, with three bloody human heads on them, one of which was Luo Rucai, who was known as Cao C.

You must know that Luo Rucai is a veteran figure in the peasant army. The incident started very early, and has always been a relatively large force in the peasant army, his personality is also extremely tactful, not very offended people, no matter who joins forces, you can cooperate with tacit understanding, Luo Rucai has many times with Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, the people of the fifth battalion of Gezuo, so he has a high reputation in the peasant army.

He is known as Cao C, and he fights J and treacherous, and rarely suffers big losses, which is why his men and horses are never weak. The disadvantage is that Luo Rucai loves beauty and is greedy for money, his military discipline is very poor, and he leaves a bad reputation among the people, unlike Li Zicheng, who loves his reputation.

In addition, Luo Rucai has no ambitions, and he did not have the plot to slaughter the world and seal the king, Sun Chuanting once said with great disdain that he was not even a thief who guarded the land.

In fact, this is the fundamental contradiction between him and Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng wants to be the emperor, although Luo Rucai did not oppose it explicitly, but what did he say, "We are happy to dominate the world, why do we do it?" Such frustrating words make it clear that he doesn't want territory, in this case, once Li Zicheng wins the world, how to settle him?

At that time, Luo Rucai was afraid that he would have to dominate the world, kill people and set fires, and his former brothers would become enemies. Li Zicheng naturally didn't want that ending.

In fact, even if there was no Luo Rucai colluding with Zuo Liangyu, Li Zicheng would have killed him. One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, this truth does not need to be said.

Luo Rucai has dominated the world for nearly ten years, but today he died under his brother's knife in a daze, saying that he was Cao C, which was too exalted to him.

Li Zicheng killed Luo Rucai with a thunderbolt, shocking everyone on the spot. Many people were so frightened that their teeth trembled, and their whole bodies trembled, not knowing who Li Zicheng was going to kill next, and whether it would be his turn to lose his head.

But Li Zicheng didn't want to do this, he only wanted to kill Luo Rucai, and these palms were still the objects of his unity. Therefore, he waved his hand, and those knife and axe men held up their three heads and retreated, someone had already cleaned the ground, Li Zicheng said: "I killed Cao C, it was really because he colluded with the officials and soldiers, if we don't get rid of it, we will all have to die under his hands in the future." When you return to the camp, tell your subordinates that I have said this to them, so that they do not misunderstand. I, Li Zicheng, am by no means a black-hearted and ruthless person who betrays my brothers. ”

Everyone nodded in unison and shouted, "Don't worry, King Chuang, we all understand." Luo Rucai wants to take refuge in the court, if such a person is not killed, what is the use of keeping it? ”

Li Zicheng knew that the wine couldn't be drunk, and these people had no intention of staying in the mansion anymore, so he served tea to the guests. Li Zicheng asked Liu Zongmin to send it off on his behalf.
