Lu Ru hurriedly thanked him, and then said: "King Ende, the last general is unforgettable, the Qin army is in Guanzhong, if there is any need, as long as Gansu has it, offer it as much as possible." 【Fengyun Reading Network. I don't know what the king wants. King Qin said: "In the Ganliang area, there are many good horses, and the Qin army only needs horses." Lu Ru kowtowed upward: "The last general can donate 3,000 good horses to Guanzhong every year." King Qin nodded: "Okay, there is General Lao." ”

At this time, Lu Ru waved his hand and ordered his own soldiers to bring Ding Qirui in.

Ding Qirui saw that Lu Ru killed the county order and Wu Heng's family, and he was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, for fear that he would also be a ghost under the knife, and he couldn't even stand up. He gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, just staring at Lu Ru.

Lu Ru said with a smile: "King, this is Ding Qirui, the pacification envoy of Gansu, the last general has taken him down, and he is waiting for the king's fate." ”

At this time, Ding Qirui knew that he was going to die, and no matter how he died, he couldn't let them underestimate himself and lose the people of the court, so he straightened his chest and scolded: "Lu Ru, you traitorous thief, you are a great crime to kill generals and court officials, and you dare to surrender to the thieves and surrender the city, which is really heinous...... I became a terrible ghost, and I won't let you go. ”

Lu Ru smiled: "Lord Ding, when you are dying, you still have a hard mouth." ”

King Qin pondered: "Ding Qirui, will you descend?" If you surrender to my Qin army, you can save your life, if you don't, today is your death. ”

Ding Qirui gritted his back molars: "I am a member of the court, even if I die, I can't be a thief, so you can do it." ”

King Qin nodded slightly, and glanced at Bai Qi, who naturally understood, and ordered Wang Leopard: "Push him out and cut him." He squeezed his eyes. Wang Bao nodded lightly, a smile appeared on his lips, and then took a few Chinese soldiers and pushed Ding Qirui out.

As soon as Ding Qirui heard about the beheading, he was so frightened that his face was pale, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word, but he didn't beg for mercy yet, because he knew that his family was in Beijing, and if he surrendered to the thief, then his family would definitely be imprisoned or killed.

Wang Bao dragged him outside, took the knife himself, and pressed Ding Qirui's neck twice, Ding Qirui's soul flew, sweat was like rain, and his whole body trembled. Wang Bao shouted: "Open the chop." As he spoke, he flipped over the blade and slashed at the back of Ding Qirui's head with the back of the knife.

Ding Qirui fainted at that time.

Wang Bao ordered Ding Qirui to be tied up and stuffed into a carriage. Ordered to be strictly guarded.

At this time, the king of Qin no longer wanted to live in Tianshui City, since he had crowned Lu Ru as the king of Ganliang, and took his son as a hostage, he had no worries, so he passed the decree, packed up the men and equipment, and prepared to return to Shiguanzhong.

Lu Ru was very active, and ordered the selection of a thousand good horses to give to Qin Jun as a meeting gift. When the King of Qin went out of the city, Lu Ru ordered the people to send each other off, and the atmosphere was very warm.

The Qin army's trip to Gansu this time was like lightning and lightning, and in just half a month, the entire Ganliang was pacified.

Back in Xi'an, Zhang Yi and others heard about it and went out of the city to greet them. Bringing the King of Qin into the palace, a feast has already been prepared in the palace to catch the wind for the King of Qin and the princess.

King Qin ordered Ding Qirui to be taken up first, not to treat him badly, it will be useful in the future.

During the banquet, King Qin asked Zhang Yi: "What news is there in Tongguan?" Zhang Yi said with a smile: "I was about to report to the king, I didn't expect you to ask first, there has been news in Tongguan, Li Yan and Mrs. Chuang Wang recruited the remnants of the peasant army in Tongguan, which has been effective, four days ago, more than 3,000 people have returned, all of them are the people of the king, and now these people are recuperating in Tongguan, treating injuries and diseases, and preparing to make a comeback, but there is no news of Li Zicheng. According to these peasant soldiers, Li Zicheng seems to be still in the Funiu Mountains and has not been discovered by the official army. ”

King Qin nodded: "When I came back this time, I brought thousands of good horses from Gansu, and sent an order to distribute a thousand horses to the peasant army." ”

Bai Qi said: "King, what should I do if Li Zicheng dies?" King Qin said: "If Li Zicheng dies, he will set up another person among his men and horses to inherit the name of King Chuang." Bai Qi said: "Why don't you include them in the Qin army?" ”

King Qin said: "Although this group of peasant troops also rebelled, unlike our Qin army, these people have a very strong habit of being displaced people, and they will not live in one place in peace, and there will be a lot of trouble if they are brought in." Besides, Li Zicheng's men and horses will not obey our Qin army. Although they belong to the rebel army, they cannot be in company. ”

Bai Qi was convinced: "It's still the king who is thoughtful." ”

King Qin said: "This matter should be done as soon as possible, and tell Li Yan that he will send more people to look for it, and Li Zicheng must be found." ”

Almost at the same time, Li Zicheng and his eighteen horsemen were still running around in the Funiu Mountain, evading the arrest of the official army. For many days, these people were very tired, and had already encountered a small group of officers and troops twice, but fortunately, thanks to the speed of the horses, they were able to get rid of the officers and soldiers, at this time they no longer knew the specific location, and they were wandering around in the mountains, and the food was long gone, but they just shot some wild beasts in the mountains, barely satisfying their hunger.

Fortunately, these people's archery skills are extremely accurate, especially Li Zicheng, who has a strong bow, and every time he sees some wild deer and mountain deer, there are always no arrows, so everyone can still fill their stomachs.

But Li Zicheng is getting thinner and thinner, and his mind has begun to waver.

In the six years since the uprising, there have been endless big and small battles, and he has led the old Eighth Team to rush east and west, fighting in the south and in the north, and he no longer knows how many battles he has fought, how many states and counties he has occupied, and how many people he has killed, but the momentum of the peasant army has been suppressed after all.

Since the death of Gao Yingxiang, the dragons have no leader, and the peasant army has been reduced from four or five hundred thousand horses at its peak to less than tens of thousands of people today. There are only twenty or thirty thousand people under his command, and he does not dare to fight against the official army, Li Zicheng knows that Luo Ru is an elf monkey, and he can't tell when he will surrender to the official army. Could it be that the vigorous uprising has disappeared in smoke!

Li Zicheng was unwilling, but he also felt that God's will was not blessed, so his fighting spirit became more and more depressed.

Liu Zongmin noticed this subtle change, he knew that no matter how many strong enemies he faced before, Li Zicheng was very calm, and his eyes always flashed with the brilliance of hope, but recently, that brilliance disappeared in Li Zicheng's eyes, and he saw Li Zicheng show a dazed and decadent look for the first time.

It is no wonder that since the uprising, Li Zicheng has never had less than two or three thousand people around him, and now there are only eighteen people left, and this kind of defeat is difficult for anyone to accept.

It was noon on this day when they stood on a hill and saw a small village. Since there is a village, it means that this place is close to the edge of Funiu Mountain. If you go out of the mountain, the officers and troops will increase exponentially, and with the strength of these few people, it will be difficult to escape.

Li Zicheng looked at the village, there was no smoke, and there was no sound of chickens and dogs barking, and after a closer look, many of the roofs of the village had become big holes, and it seemed that this place was likely to be robbed and destroyed, so Li Zicheng sent Li Guo and Gu Kecheng to take a look.

Not long after the two went, they ran back, and Li said, "Uncle Li, the village is empty, and there is no one." Judging by the traces of the fire, it has been abandoned for at least a few months. ”

Li Zicheng nodded and ordered, "Let's go to the village to rest and get a good night's sleep." ”

These people have been sleeping in the mountains and forests for days, and this season, the weather is bitter and cold, and the taste is really uncomfortable, and many people are awakened by freezing at night. In order to avoid the officers and soldiers, they did not dare to light a fire to keep warm, so everyone huddled together and found a leeward place to sleep hastily, and now there was a village to settle down in, at least a peaceful sleep in the house, so they were very excited.

Li Zicheng led the people into the village, found two houses that were still in good condition, looked around for some dry firewood, lit a fire in the house, and on horseback there were a few pheasants and half a wild deer that were caught yesterday, and everyone roasted them with the fire and began to eat them around the fire.

The fat dripping from the pheasants and wild deer fell on the fire, making a sizzling sound, and the house exuded an incomparable smell of meat, and the quiet mountain village finally had a little life.

Everyone was eating, and suddenly stopped, because Liu Zongmin was the first to stop, wiping his mouth, staring at everyone. Everyone didn't know at first, but then they all noticed it, and they stopped eating it one after another, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what Liu Zongmin means.

When Liu Zongmin watched it for a long time, he suddenly laughed, pointed at everyone except Li Zicheng, and smiled very happily. The crowd was infected by him and grinned one after another. There is no laughing, only Li Zicheng.

He asked lightly, "Jiexuan, what are you laughing at?" ”

Liu Zongmin stopped laughing, and then said: "King Chuang, I laugh at the official army." These people searched for us all over the world, and they wanted to turn the mountains over, but we are here warmly, roasting the fire and eating meat, which is much better than them. ”

Hao Shaoqi took over the words: "Liu Ye is right, Chuang Wangfu has a great life, and we will all follow him, let his officers and troops have millions of people, and still can't touch a single mile of our hair, let them blow the northwest wind in the mountains." ”

Everyone responded one after another, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.

Li Zicheng still had a lonely look, ate a piece of venison, and said to Liu Zongmin: "Jiexuan, the two of us go out to have a look and see if there are any officers and soldiers nearby." ”

Liu Zongmin answered, walked out of the house side by side with Li Zicheng, went outside to untie the war horse, flew on, and walked on the village road together.
