Coincidentally, the same scene also appeared under the account of Zhang Xianzhong, who was far away in Huguang.

Under Zhang Xianzhong, Zhong Yuhe, a strategist who joined Chongzhen for twelve years, also offered him such a strategy, and together with it, it was naturally Zhong Yuhe's explosives package that he suddenly developed.

It's just that Zhang Xianzhong has other plans at this time.

After the failure of the attack on Changsha, Zhang Xianzhong, who felt that his strength was not strong enough, finally had a crooked idea about Luo Rucai's department, intending to annex it while he was unprepared.

Who knew that as early as Wuchang, Li Zicheng placed Zhang Xianzhong's eye medicine in front of Luo Rucai.

Zhang Xianzhong was discovered by Luo Ru before he could make a move, and the two families officially parted ways.

Luo Rucai turned west to find Li Zicheng's cooperation, while Zhang Xianzhong could only lead his troops south to Changsha again.

Fortunately, at this time, the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo, which was mixed in the Dabie Mountains all the year round, had no choice but to lead his troops to take refuge in Zhang Xianzhong because the supervisor Ding Qirui often pinched the softest persimmon according to himself.

Rao is like this, and the angry Zhang Xianzhong still urgently needs to show his strength and prove to the world that he is the leader of the rogues.

Therefore, after obtaining Zhong Yuhe's method, Zhang Xianzhong raised a sword in the first month of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, first broke Changsha, killed several Zhu Ming clans such as Changsha Wang, Xiang Wang, Ji Wang, etc., and then went all the way south to capture Hengzhou and other prefectures and counties, killing Gui Wang and other clans.

In a few months, more than a dozen clan bloodlines were killed, and the world was no longer so simple as shocking, but panicked all day long.

At this time, even the dullest person feels that the world is about to change.

Not only that, on May 17, news came from Liaodong that after holding on to Songshan for more than half a year, the elite soldiers of the Nine Sides led by Hong Chengchou finally failed to hold Songshan City and were captured by Jian.

Because it was rumored that Hong Chengchou had died, Chongzhen also specially ordered a posthumous confession.

It's just that this news is combined with the defeat of the Central Plains, and it is really as Huo Zhaowei, Zhong Yuhe and others said when they offered advice, the people are like a river flowing into the sea, and the rush cannot be stopped.

The momentum of the rogue is better than the day.

Among them, the one who has eaten the biggest dividend belongs to Li Zicheng.

Because Luo Rucai came to vote, Li Zicheng's power increased greatly, and in one fell swoop he expanded from a crowd of 100,000 to the number one force with more than 400,000 troops.

Li Zicheng called himself "Generalissimo Fengtian Advocate Righteousness", and Luo Rucai called himself "General Weide on behalf of the people of Tianfu".

In May of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng ate dry and wiped clean in Xi'an, and then turned back and came west to Luoyang City.

Although Luoyang is high and has deep walls, it also blocks the explosives package tactics that are not Li Zicheng.

It took only three days for Luoyang City to fall to the ground.

Outside Luoyang City, Huo Zhaowei deliberately found Li Zicheng.

"What? Sir wants to be stationed outside? After listening to Huo Zhaowei's request, Li Zicheng was shocked and asked: "But this city is broken, everyone wants to grab the first city to grab a copy, how can Mr. do the opposite?" ”

Li Zicheng was in the Chinese army, Huo Zhaowei replied with a righteous face:

"My army is attacking the city, at this time, we need to beware of the enemy taking advantage of my unpreparedness to attack, although my subordinates also want gold and silver treasures, but the safety of our army is more important, and the previous few times to break the city, the king has been rewarded a lot, this time let others have a chance."

As soon as these words came out, even Niu Jinxing and the others kept nodding with a smile.

This old Huo is really particular and reasonable.

Li Zicheng looked at Huo Zhaowei's face, saw that he looked firm, and after thinking about it, he also agreed, "Okay, then I'll go into the city first, and leave Mr. outside to defend." ”

Watching Li Zicheng and the others laugh wildly all the way to Luoyang City, Huo Zhaowei returned to his camp in a few quick steps.

"Did anyone find it?"

The young man who passed the information to Huo Zhaowei last time came to his tent again, and as soon as he saw the young man's face, Huo Zhaowei hurriedly asked.

The young man shook his head, "Not yet, it's only been a short time since the city was broken, and I don't think it's so fast, but we have already sent people to keep an eye on it, and if we find out, we must control it as soon as possible." ”

Hearing this young man say this, Huo Zhaowei nodded and turned to sit up quietly.

At present, Li Zicheng and the others are not there, and he has the military talisman given by Li Zicheng, and all the soldiers and soldiers outside the city have listened to his transfer, and some things are suddenly much easier to do.

It was almost dusk, and there was a commotion outside Huo Zhaowei's tent, and a sergeant dressed as a soldier of the Chuang Army opened the curtain and entered, his face full of excitement.

"Sir, I found it."

"Oh, take me there."

Huo Zhaowei was suddenly startled, and without saying a word, he pulled this person out of the door.

The group turned out of the siege camp outside Luoyang City, and quickly came to a small forest outside the east of the city, where dozens of sergeants dressed in military uniforms were already vigilantly standing guard in a circle.

Seeing Huo Zhaowei and the others coming, the group of sergeants immediately flashed out of the way, revealing a young fat man dressed in plain civilian clothes and several men dressed as peasants.

"Sure enough, it's him", as soon as he saw this little fat man, Huo Zhaowei showed a smile on his face.

He walked up to the little fat man and asked sharply, "Zhu Yousong, your time of death has come!" ”

"Wow"

No one expected that this little fat man would cry loudly directly, and a pair of frightened little eyes stared at Huo Zhaowei and sobbed:

"Uncle spare your life, uncle spare your life, I'm not Zhu Yousong, I'm a farmer outside Luoyang City, named Tang Gao."

"Hahaha, you still dare to quibble", Huo Zhaowei smiled and took out a portrait from his arms, put it directly in front of the little fat man and said with a smile:

"Look, is this you?"

The little fat man only stared at it, and immediately felt dizzy and urinated.

On this portrait is his own portrait, and next to it are the words Zhu Yousong, the son of King Fu.

At that moment, the little fat man Zhu Yousong cried again, begging for mercy and kowtowing one after another.

Who knew that Huo Zhaowei helped him up, and even his tone and tone became much softer.

"Don't worry, the prince of the world, I received great favor from the palace in my early years, since I met you this time, it is the time to repay your kindness, and I will send someone to send you across the river later, you can go to Huaiqing in Hedong to take refuge temporarily, and when the court knows, it will naturally arrange for you."

The little fat man Zhu Yousong became the boss with a pair of squinting eyes, and his mouth suddenly opened wide because of incredible, "When, really? ”

Huo Zhaowei nodded calmly, smoothing the wrinkles of the clothes on his body, and said in a slightly sad voice:

"Now that Luoyang City is broken, I can't live if I think of the old prince, you have to remember that this world is chaotic, and it is a day to enjoy a day of happiness, you don't want to think about doing anything dangerous, and you have lost the blessing that the old prince gave you for no reason."

God is pitiful, the little fat man Zhu Yousong was already heartbroken when he was caught by Huo Zhaowei's people, how did he know that he could still survive in a desperate situation now,

As soon as he heard Huo Zhaowei say this, he hurriedly cried and cried:

"I know, I know, the world is so chaotic, which turtle son wants to go to those days of licking blood from the knife edge, I must live a good life and enjoy happiness."

Hearing Zhu Yousong say this, Huo Zhaowei nodded with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder again, and waved his hand to signal the soldiers around him to send him away.

"Hehe, this little bastard, he doesn't even ask what his life-saving benefactor is called, so you can see what kind of goods he is."

Seeing Zhu Yousong walking towards the Yellow River to the north under the escort of a group of sergeants with a silly face, the young man who reported the news to Huo Zhaowei sneered and mocked.

Huo Zhaowei waved his hand towards Zhu Yousong's back with a smile on his face, and only after he had played enough did he turn his head and say:

"What I want is his ungrateful, hedonistic nature, if there are more virtuous people in the clan, where is our business, let's go, go back to the camp."

Unexpectedly, the young man said in a deep voice: "Sir, go back first, the dragon head has an order, I will personally keep an eye on him until he is safe." ”

Huo Zhaowei nodded indifferently and returned to the camp under the escort of a group of sergeants.

After thinking about it again, Liu Ximing finally decided to save Zhu Yousong.

If you don't say anything else, it's a big skill to think that he can make a mess of the Hongguang small court.

At present, Liu Ximing has considered other places, but only Jiangnan, the nest of the world's official gentry, the richest place in the Ming Dynasty, he has not yet thought about how to deal with it.

The key is that many of the former members of the Restoration Society who have joined the Datong Society at this moment are also here, so Liu Ximing can't afford not to think about it carefully.

At the moment, his idea was that if he didn't do it himself, he would only make chaos within the enemy, and Zhu Yousong was naturally the best candidate.

This scene that happened outside Luoyang City was silent, a group of soldiers and soldiers were all busy entering the city to burn, kill and loot, who could still take care of Huo Zhaowei's side, and the people who participated were all arranged by the Liu family, so Zhu Yousong and his entourage finally crossed the Yellow River smoothly.
