According to Liu Xi's life, since Chen Zhang dared to bring someone to the door, he must have been determined to break up Chen Zilong and Liu Ru, and it was naturally impossible to persuade her with warm words.

That's why Liu Ximing and Chen Zilong acted in such a play.

Chen Zilong was still a little hesitant, but it was good not to see Liu Ru in the past, but now that they had been separated for many days and suddenly met again, they hooked up his thoughts in his heart.

Sure enough, hearing that Liu Ximing made up a story about an evil young man molesting a famous prostitute, Chen Zilong angrily made a move, and was hit by the double blow of body and words, Chen Zhang's face suddenly turned pale.

This is not over, in the next two days, Chen Zilong did not say a word, and the grain of rice did not enter.

Although Chen Zhang's family found many famous doctors for diagnosis and treatment, but with Liang Jun's help to prepare a few pairs of potions and drink them, Chen Zilong's appearance is no different from a real heart disease.

The visiting famous doctor couldn't come up with a prescription, but said that heart disease still needs a heart medicine doctor.

Chen Zhang's heart was also stubborn, seeing that Chen Zilong couldn't persuade him to come back, he didn't care about him for three days.

It's just that in the past few days, many of Liu Ximing's backhands have also begun to play a role, and rumors have begun to spread inside and outside the city that Chen Zhang's family even disregarded her husband's life because of jealousy, and finally forced Chen Zhang's father to call the door and make a big fuss with his daughter.

In front of Chen Zilong and Liu Ximing, Chen Zhang cried again.

Liu Ximing took the opportunity to pull Chen Zhang's into the corner to enlighten him, and only then did he pretend to put forward his own opinions.

Chen Zilong has rushed to the exam many times, but he has repeatedly failed, Liu Ximing simply instigated Chen Zhang's first promise to agree to Chen Zilong's concubine, but the condition must be after being admitted to the Jinshi.

In this way, if Chen Zilong misses, he will naturally fulfill Chen Zhang's wish.

But if it wins, then everyone will be happy, and what does it matter if you take a concubine at that time.

Chen Zhang's heart was moved, and after struggling for a long time, he finally agreed.

Chen Zilong jumped directly from the bed Needless to say, even Liu Ximing also snickered in his heart, he had the impression that Chen Zilong seemed to be Chongzhen's Jinshi in the ten years, and now that he is here, wouldn't it be more stable.

At this point, Liu Ximing has no regrets in his heart, although he is a little wrong with Chen Zhang's family, but it is not bad for him to be able to see a good fate.

As for the problem after Liu Ru really got married, Liu Ximing believes that such a strange woman should have a way to deal with these affairs, where does he need to worry more.

On April 17, Yingzhou City, Fengyang Prefecture, Nanzhili.

At this time, Yingzhou has become a hell on earth, and the originally peaceful state city no longer exists, replaced by shouts and cries that soar to the sky.

Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others, who had fought against Liu Ximing before, were all in the city, surrounding one

A burly, high-nosed man was looking around from the city walls.

"King Chuang, you still have a way, these dog officers and soldiers really didn't expect us to go east, I'm afraid that they are still going around in Henan now."

Zhang Xianzhong's mouth was like a lion's mouth, since the Luoyang gathering, the exile army is no longer as weak as before, and now just their several armies combined, there are at least 300,000 people, and the official army can no longer be driven away at will as before.

Especially at the time of the gathering, General Li Zicheng put forward the idea of dividing the troops and orienting them, and the heads of each battalion involved a part of the officers and soldiers, making it difficult for the officers and soldiers to take care of them, so that the pressure on the displaced people army was greatly reduced.

Hong Chengchou is also clumsy in coping, he is a literati, and it is already commendable to be able to command an army of more than 100,000 people.

Coupled with the constraints of Chongzhen and local forces, the exile army is divided, even if Hong Chengchou himself still wants to chase and fight all the way, the court is not willing, and there will be a will at the two ends in three days, and the soldiers in Hong Chengchou's hands can only be more and more scattered.

However, after two months of dividing their troops, Gao Yingxiang and other thieves turned around in Henan and Huguang to join forces again.

With 70,000 men and horses, the displaced people directly defeated Yingzhou City, which was blocking the road, to rest and collect supplies.

This time, he must do a big thing, Gao Yingxiang looked at the southeast with deep eyes.

"Let the Erlang grab enough and stop, there is still a big battle to fight when you turn back", Gao Yingxiang's rough face flashed with a smile, "What is Yingzhou City, when you go back and knock down Zhu Chongba's hometown, there are all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry." ”

"Hahaha, I also want a few girls from the palace."

Zhang Xianzhong laughed first, and Li Zicheng and others also laughed.

On the second day, the army of displaced people in Yingzhou City set off again for a day and a night.

In order to fool the pursuing officers and soldiers, 80,000 troops covered the sky and the sun and headed all the way to Shouzhou.

Zuo Liangyu and the others, who were in charge of the pursuit, didn't think much about it, and went straight down to Shouzhou along Yingshui.

However, on the morning of April 20, the vanguard of displaced people led by Zhang Xianzhong suddenly appeared outside Fengyang.

In Fengyang City, Zhu Guoxiang, Fengyang Prefect Yan Rongxuan and others who stayed in the central capital were already in a mess.

Originally, I heard that the thieves had entered Fengyang Mansion, and the whole mansion had been on guard, but who knew that the thieves did not go east after defeating Yingzhou, but turned to the southeast.

This move suddenly confused the officials of Fengyang Mansion, and now that the legal system of the imperial court has not been lost, who would have thought that the thieves would dare to do such a rebellious thing in the siege of Zhongdu, and it was because the officials and gentry resumed their singing and dancing style.

Fortunately, Zhu Guoxiang, who stayed behind in the central capital, had a lot of thoughts, and had already ordered that the 20,000 defenders in Fengyang City should not leave their posts without permission, otherwise at this time

I'm afraid that the city gate has been stolen.

Rao is like this, and his face is also bitter.

"General Zhu, the thieves and soldiers have suddenly arrived, and we have few soldiers, so why don't we defend the city? The government will now report to Yang Zhongcheng on the flying pigeon and ask him to lead his troops to rescue. ”

Zhu Guoxiang has a thin face and big ears, and a short strand of hair looks powerful and elegant, but at this time he is also as earthy as an earth.

Hearing Yan Ronghuo's words, Zhu Guoxiang smiled bitterly: "Fuzun, the outer city of Fengyang is in disrepair, and the thieves will break it as soon as they attack, how long can the inner city be defended alone, as for Yang Fujun, he is far away in Huai'an, and he won't be able to come back for a while, not to mention ......"

Zhu Guoxiang sighed, "Besides, there are imperial tombs outside the city to guard, if the general does not send troops, how can the thousands of imperial tomb defenders resist it." ”

"Let's be glad now, glad that the thieves didn't directly attack the Imperial Tomb, otherwise even if Fengyang City is saved, our head will not be retained."

Yan Rong fell to the chair with a loud noise, how could he forget such an important thing, the tomb of Taizu is all in Fengyang, and now that the thieves are killed, can't he keep his head horizontally and vertically?

Thinking of this, Yan Ronghuo only felt sad from the heart, and the prefect actually cried in front of the court.

Zhu Guoxiang originally wanted to discuss countermeasures with Yan Ronghuo, but now seeing him like this, he can expect nothing from him except disdain in his heart.

"Come on, quickly send a horse to investigate the movement of the thieves, and the rest of the generals will gather the men and horses to prepare for war."

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Guoxiang had made up his mind.

As he said to Yan Ronghuo just now, sticking to the city is just sitting and waiting to be killed, and now he still has 20,000 defenders in his hands, if the number of thieves is not large, he may not be able to fight.

Although the remaining defenders of the Central Capital have been abolished in military training, after all, there are eight guards and one guard, and there are some good players among them.

However, before anyone could report the reward, the shouts of killing rang out from outside the city.

As Zhu Guoxiang said, the outer city of Fengyang City is in disrepair, and there are only mud walls more than one zhang high now.

Since Zhang Xianzhong was rushing overnight, he naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity, and without waiting for Zhu Guoxiang and others to make a decision, he covered the army and killed him directly.

"Quick, gather all the armies to fight, protect the left and right, and go into battle with the general."

Zhu Guoxiang still had some responsibility, and seeing that no one else could count on him, he gritted his teeth and rushed to the city in his battle robe.

Although Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates have the same number as the official army, the official army in Fengyang has not experienced a battle formation for a long time, and the officials in this place are rampant, and corruption is not much worse than in other places, and the army has long been unable to fight.

At this time, more than 20,000 thieves who were not afraid of death were pressed together, what can be done by relying on the city wall of more than one zhang, it only took almost a morning of effort, Zhang Xianzhong cleared the officials and troops in the outer city, and the army of thieves successfully entered Fengyang Mansion City.
