When Zhou Qing's lime-dressed, blue-black head was delivered, Zhao Dangshi was receiving a guest in the camp.

This guest had a clear face, about early twenties, and looked extremely energetic against the backdrop of a white background and blue border armor, he saw the head on the wooden tray, and said with a wry smile: "I don't want to see Zhou Zhangpan again, it's such a scene." ”

Zhao Dangshi simply checked the authenticity of Zhou Qing's head, then raised his hand and took it out, then took a light breath and smiled at the guest: "Zhou Qing is dead, and the big thing is over." As he spoke, he tapped his hand on the table slightly, shaking his head and muttering, "If it weren't for the wavering of others, how would I be able to take advantage of the situation?" The so-called moths put out the fire and killed themselves, Zhou Qing is also. ”

The guest laughed and said: "This person is repeatedly ashamed, although he can survive for a while, he will not be able to stand among the heroes." If you don't do it, sooner or later, my family will also dispose of it. ”

Zhao Dangshi pondered for a long time, and said: "Zhou Qing is dead, and the righteous army in Shaanxi is only a handful, and it is nothing more than your family's palm, contemptible, scorpion block and skystar." You are here, in addition to greetings, the focus should be here. ”

The guest nodded in response: "Zhao Zhangpan is quick to speak, showing his heroic nature." Speaking of this, he got up and said, "The old king has died and counted the heroes of today's righteous army, who does Zhao Zhangpan think?" ”

Zhao Dangshi almost blurted out without thinking: "Li Chuang will be resolute and calm, the eight kings are strong and courageous, the old man is resourceful, Cao Cao is alert and fickle, and the heroes of the righteous army are the first to recommend these four people!" ”

Unexpectedly, when the words fell, I heard a sigh from the other side, and only heard the guest whisper: "Zhao Zhangpan is wise, but here, there is still one person missing." It's not a remark, but with this person's spirit, it is enough to compare with the above four. ”

Zhao Dangshi was stunned for a moment, and his brows tightened slightly: "Please make it clear." ”

The guest raised his head, looked directly at him, and said in a loud voice: "My family has said that the heroes of the world are chasing Mingding, although there are many competitors, how can you miss Zhao Zhangpan?" ”

"Me?" Zhao Dangshi was shocked in his heart, "How can you be such a big name?" If you teach others to listen, you may laugh and be generous. ”

The guest shook his head and said, "Why?" Zhao Zhangpan entered Sichuan alone with a meager army, not only did not suffer a catastrophe, but flourished, tossing and turning for thousands of miles, and several tens of thousands of officials and troops in Sichuan and Chu played in the palm of their hands. With such courage and ability, even in the vast righteous army, who can hope to carry it? Not to mention the feats of thrashing stones, fires and hits. My family boss sighed repeatedly, saying that he would put himself in the same situation as Zhao Zhangpan, and I am afraid that he could only sit and wait for death, unable to return to the sky. ”

Zhao Dangshi hurriedly said: "This statement is really contemptible, I think if there was no favor from your family, how could there be this day when I Zhao and my Zhao Ying?" ”

When the guest heard this, he saluted Zhao Dangshi and said: "My family has long said that Zhao Zhangpan is loyal and righteous, and now it seems that he is a really good man with a brave heart." In this ceremony, I not only sighed at the character of Zhao's palm, but also sighed at the wisdom of my family's palm. ”

Zhao Dangshi's eyes were blazing: "Don't forget to dig wells, I Zhao Dangshi can't do anything else, this is a favor that must be repaid, and the truth that revenge must be avenged is still adhered to in my heart." The grace of your family's dripping water, I, Zhao, will definitely repay it with a spring! ”

The guest listened to him and smiled: "Don't hide it from Zhao Zhangpan, this time I will be explained by my family, and I will ask you for something." ”

"What's the matter, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Zhao Dangshi also stood up at this time, "As long as I can do it, I will go all out; If you can't do it, give it a try. ”

The guest nodded secretly, and then, his voice suddenly raised an octave, and he said in an extremely loud voice: "In the past, Li Chuang was the general, and today Li Chuang is the king, and my family is in charge of the plate, and he has taken over the position of 'King Chuang' a month ago!" ”

This mention came very suddenly, and most of the people in the tent who were listening attentively were startled.

Although Zhao Dangshi was mentally prepared, he still subconsciously asked at this time: "King Chuang?" ”

The guest's face did not change, and he still said loudly: "Exactly! As a rookie that Li Zicheng's subordinates rely on at this stage, this young man named Tian Jianxiu doesn't want to fall into the majesty of his own plate in front of anyone, and he doesn't want anyone to look down on him.

The corners of Zhao Dangshi's lips showed a hint of bitterness: "But now ......"

Tian Jianxiu ignored his doubts at all, and said stiffly: "At this time, it is even more obvious that the successor of my family's boss is the responsibility of 'Chuang Wang'!" ”

Zhao Dangshi let out a "hmm" and did not continue to ask. He is a smart person, Tian Jianxiu reminded him so slightly, and he understood the key. On the bright side, Li Zicheng, who is suffering from Hong Chengchou's ordeal and has lost the help of the Mantianxing and the Tianxing Alliance, is at a low point in his life, and in terms of strength, he is definitely not worthy of the name of Xuanhe's "King Chuang". But from another point of view, Li Zicheng's choice to take over "King Chuang" at this time is actually a very wise step.

First, in the past two or three years, Li Zicheng's prestige among the rebels has risen very much, and even among the official and military books, there is often confusion between the term "thief" and Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, and Li Zicheng, the general of Chuang. And the so-called Dakou in the world today only puts him in the position of Gao Yingxiang's next level, Gao Yingxiang died, in fact, he has been on a par with Zhang Xianzhong and others, becoming a first-class strong man in the world.

The foundation of the rogue lies in Shaanxi, especially in the past six months, Gao Yingxiang and other giants have left Shaanxi one after another in order to protect themselves, only he, as a leader, insists on dealing with powerful officials and troops in Shaanxi, such a tenacious and tough style has further increased his prestige.

The so-called strong is hard power and soft power. Hard power lies in the quality of the leader and the ability to work at the bottom of the line, while soft power lies in appeal. Li Zicheng is resolute and strong, and his generals are also outstanding among ordinary rogues, and the fact that the team they formed can persist in the winds and waves of the past few years and maintain cohesion is the best proof of hard power. Not to mention soft power, in the early years, there were many "generals" under Zhang Cunmeng, who were not involved in the mud, and now, only Li Zicheng, the original "eighth team general", has taken on the name of "general" alone. This is somewhat similar to the Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong, because before, there were many miscellaneous names such as "Eight Kings of Nanying" and "Eight Kings", and Zhang Xianzhong's "Eight Kings of Xiying" is not special. However, in the past two years, people have mentioned the "Eight Kings", and they all have secretly belonged to Zhang Xianzhong in their hearts, which shows that the soft power lies in the influence in people's hearts. It can be said that as long as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's team is not extinguished, even if there are only a dozen people left, whenever there is a chance to breathe, a flag will be planted on the mountain, and the dependents will flock to it. Going deeper, just like investing, there is still hesitation to invest money, and when it comes to surrendering, it is natural that objects like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong can provide enough credit and make people feel enough security.

Therefore, no matter how miserable Li Zicheng's current situation is, it is not a matter of urgency. Seeing the great prestige and popularity gathered behind him because of his adherence to Shaanxi is the right perspective. In such a prestige that Hong Chengchou took over the banner of "breaking into the king" in an environment where his prestige was so powerful that he was "dictating and self-contained", the timing was just right.

Second, as mentioned in the first point, Li Zicheng's current troops have been weakened very much, and after careful calculation, there are less than 10,000 soldiers under his command. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and it is obviously not enough to compete for the world with such strength. What is "King Chuang", it is the title of the first person who is recognized by the people of the world, as long as he gets this title, it is like throwing a fire on the situation full of weeds, so that the enthusiasm in the hearts of the rogues who were originally disheartened by Gao Yingxiang's defeat is high again. It's easy to get lost and get stuck in a quagmire when you lose your goal, but it's easy to be attracted again whenever a new goal appears.

Li Zicheng grasped this point and hoped to use the most resounding name to seek the greatest benefits for himself. Although after becoming the "new king", he will be greatly concerned by the officials and the army and more violently purged, but what was he Li Zicheng afraid of? has been chased and beaten by officials and troops from all walks of life in Shaanxi before, and no matter how bad the situation is, it is not much worse. On the basis of the first point, the use of the name of "Chuang Wang" to expand strength and restore vitality is interlocking, which is not something that a hero like Li Zicheng can not do, and the transition from "Chuang General" to "Chuang Wang", even the officials and soldiers often confuse the two, and in the eyes of most people, it is also very logical. On the other hand, the rogues in Shaanxi who are fighting for each other also need a strong leadership force to rely on and lead them to see the light of day.

Third, it's actually a crucial point. If the first two points can only be regarded as Li Zicheng's wishful thinking, then this point is enough to affect whether he can successfully take the first step to become a "new king" first. Let's look at the situation first, now in Shaanxi, the rogue who can be called the number one is none other than Li Zicheng, Scorpion Block Tuoyangkun, Guotianxing Hui Dengxiang and Zhao Dangshi here. And among these people, Tuoyangkun because of the previous defection to the official army, prestige and strength have been greatly damaged, Hui Dengxiang is also not in the army, and he has lost the right to speak in Shaanxi, and in the end, the two families in Shaanxi that can support the scene are only Li Zicheng in northern Shaanxi and Zhao Dangshi in southern Shaanxi. And Zhao Dangshi's new fame for breaking into the camp and Lik two counties has become famous, and his popularity in Shaanxi has also risen sharply, especially the strength of his soldiers, which can't make Li Zicheng ignore his influence on the situation. Speaking of which, if Zhao Dangshi is unwilling to accept Li Zicheng's "leadership" and wants to start anew, then the resistance to Li Zicheng taking over as "King Chuang" at this stage is undoubtedly huge. Therefore, Li Zicheng sent Tian Jianxiu, a close confidant who had dealt with Zhao Dangshi many times, to negotiate, wanting to exchange Zhao Dangshi's support at the smallest price. Will Zhao Dangshi support himself, Li Zicheng didn't dare to pack the ticket, but he could be sure that if Tuoyangkun and Hui Dengxiang were both powerful, and even Gao Yingen and Tuupan Gao were undefeated, then his chance to become the "new king" would definitely not be as sure as it is now.

Zhao Dangshi did not respond to Tian Jianxiu immediately, he knew in his heart that Li Zicheng would be the "King of Chuang" in the future, and the original history also proved that Li Zicheng was enough to bear this title, but what he was thinking about now was that once Li Zicheng became the "new King", what kind of status would he have as a supporter, and how should Zhao Ying deal with himself in the future?

Neither want to join Li Zicheng, nor do you want to lose relations with Li Zicheng, the most beneficial state for Zhao Ying is to stay between the two ends. But how can it be arranged to do this perfectly?

Tian Jianxiu seemed to see Zhao Dangshi's doubts, he took two steps closer, turned around to look at the people in the tent, and said aloud: "Everyone, King Li Chuang has an order, from today on, the title of 'Chuang General' will be inherited by Zhao Dangshi!" ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the huge tent was suddenly boiling.

Everyone was surprised, and Zhao Dangshi couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

Tian Jianxiu is worthy of being a smart person, and in just one sentence, Zhao Ying's future identity is clear. What is the relationship between the former "Chuang General" Li Zicheng and "Chuang Wang" Gao Yingxiang? Collaboration only. If Zhao Dangshi accepts the conditions thrown by Li Zicheng, then not only will he no longer be embarrassed in terms of identity and status, but he will also be able to obtain a name and naturally climb into the ranks of first-class strongmen. The name is important to Li Zicheng, but why is it not important to Zhao Dangshi? One of the cruxes of his repeated white eyes over the years is that he is unknown? With Li Zicheng's admission, no one dares to question and challenge his status in the rogue anymore.

It's a win-win situation, why not. Zhao Dangshi values faith and righteousness, and he was thinking that Li Zicheng was good to him at the beginning, and it is very appropriate to accept it at this time.

It's just that Zhao Dangshi hasn't adjusted his mentality yet, and he was a little dizzy for a while, Hou Dagui over there couldn't wait, knelt down first, and said: "The name of the general is well-deserved!" ”

As soon as he knelt down, there was an uproar in the tent, and immediately followed by a large number of kneeling down, and almost all the generals pleaded: "The name of the general is well deserved, don't hesitate any longer!" ”

Zhao Dangshi glanced at Qin Qigong, saw that he was also secretly bowing his head to himself, made up his mind, and finally said, "Everyone, please get up." Thanks to the blue eyes, I, Zhao, was cheeky once today and received this number. From now on, we will encourage ourselves with the word 'break'. If you are ashamed, you can use your sword at any time to take my head! ”

Speaking of this, Fu said to Tian Jianxiu: "King Chuang is kind, and I am grateful and disrespectful!" Today, but there is a drive, and I Zhao has no reason to excuse myself! ”

Tian Jianxiu stroked his palms and said happily: "From today on, Li Chuang and Zhao Chuang will be a family. The two join hands, why worry about the ugliness of the group in Shaanxi! ”

At the moment, there was a joy in the tent, like Hou Dagui, and he was even more happy to almost lift the top of the tent to the sky, Zhao Dangshi smiled, but faintly felt that a new kind of pressure hit his heart.

After a while, the excitement slowly subsided. Zhao Dangshi suddenly sighed and said, "King Chuang loves him, but I am worried and I have lost his kindness." ”

Tian Jianxiu was suspicious: "Zhou Qing is dead, what are you worried about?" ”

Zhao Dangshi shook his head and said lightly: "The county has not been lowered." ”
