Chapter 745: Poor Dagger

Wang Lung's Zhenshan camp, which was in Shandong to fight Abatai, fought all kinds of Tuweizi, if it wasn't too late, I was afraid that the Kong family in Qufu and the Meng family in Zou County would be looted by Wang Lung and Luo Hu, so that thousands of years of dirty accounts would come out and see the light of day. The muzzle of the gun pointed to the flag, looking down at the wind. In the first battle of Henan under Kaifeng Mansion, in Xiangyang to fight Zuo Liangyu's more than 100,000 people collapsed.

With an elite like the Zhenshan Battalion to deal with Li Jiyu and other local bandits who are entrenched in Dengfeng, there is no doubt that he will also use all his strength to fight the lion and the rabbit. As for the results of this expedition, even Li Zicheng has no doubts.

"Ziyu, Wang Long's son can at least add more than 100,000 strong people, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and dozens of states and counties to our Cao Ying."

After ordering someone to seal the military order for Wang Long, he quickly sent the horse to Wang Long's army, and Luo Rucai patted the handsome case proudly, and had a pleasant conversation with his adviser, Ji Qi Ji Ziyu, a native of Shanxi.

"The big marshal also has to send someone to inform the young marshal, so that he should step faster, lest the fourth battalion of the left side of the revolution follow closely behind the ass and steal our fruit!"

Ji Jue also had a happy look on his face, reminding Cao Cao to beware of the troops of Ge Liyan, Zuo Jinyu and others who were moving closely behind the footsteps of the Zhenshan Battalion, and not to be robbed by these people because their speed of action was too slow!

"Ziyu, you really are my Zhang Zifang!" Cao Cao patted Ji Jue's shoulder and smiled proudly, "However, don't worry, I will order someone to invite Ge Liyan, Zuo Jinyu and others to come over for a drink." At the banquet, just discuss how to divide the spoils! As long as the four of them agreed, the matter on the battlefield, Wang Long Kid would naturally handle it properly! It will definitely not make our Cao Ying suffer! ”

Listening to Cao Cao's words so firmly, Ji Jue's heart suddenly understood. Presumably, Cao Cao will talk about the price with these four marshals at the banquet, and how to distribute the seized money, grain, and goods. The things of the children's jade silk. Perhaps, some swords, guns, mules and horses will also have to be sacrificed. However, in the end, the lion's head still fell into the hands of Cao Ying.

However, after thinking about it, a thought came to mind. Now Wang Lung's weight in Cao Cao's eyes is getting heavier and heavier, and his subordinates' soldiers and horses are constantly expanding. With Cao Cao is also a nephew and uncle, he grew up in front of Cao Cao since he was a child. Compared with Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons, Wang Lung and Luo Rucai are blood relatives!

"If I don't take this opportunity to make a statement to the marshal, and make Wang Long the successor of Cao Ying, then I will really be a fool!"

After making up his mind, Ji Jue suggested to Luo Rucai that Wang Long's victorious return this time had made a great contribution to Cao Ying, and he should be rewarded. Only then can the hearts of soldiers be calmed.

"Ji Jue, what you mean, Lao Luo understands." Who is Cao Cao? How many years have you been fighting in the sea of swords and guns, and how many people have you seen? Immediately cut off Ji Jue's words.

"Wang Lung is our Lao Tzu's nephew, as the saying goes, my mother is my uncle. This boy has grown up in front of my eyes since he was a child, just like my son. Although there are many daughters in our old man's room, there are not many who can give birth to a son and a half daughter to our old Cao! Even if he was born by luck, he died in the midst of fighting thousands of miles here. Therefore, our Lao Luo is still counting on Wang Long to continue the incense for Lao Luo's family! It's like the story of Chai Rong and Guo Wei you told us in Kaifeng City. Our Laozi is Guo Wei. Wang Long, but there are more relatives than Chai Rong! He is our Lao Tzu's nephew! ”

"Still. If you can think of this, it is enough to see your loyalty to our Lao Luo. Just rush this, we Lao Luo have to thank you well! Luo Rucai blinked his little eyes secretly, called in the old camp secretary, whispered a few words in his ear, and the old camp secretary nodded and left.

"A few days ago. Master Yongxin of Dengfeng sent someone to send a pair of living treasures, which were originally intended for us to enjoy by ourselves. However, your words today are worth your enjoyment of this pair of living treasures! ”

A car, a pair of living treasures given to Luo Rucai by Master Yongxin, and a pair of twin sisters who were trained by his senior monks. He was sent to Giri's residence.

Sure enough, Wang Lung lived up to Luo Rucai's hopes, and received Luo Rucai's military order to fight Li Jiyu in Nanyang, and even if he turned east, he conquered Li Jiyu's lair in a few days, located in Yuzhai Mountain in the northwest of Dengfeng County, beheaded Li Jiyu, and picked up his head with a spear, and inspected the villages that were in trouble everywhere. Suddenly, there was jubilation in Dengfeng, and the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums rang out. Master Yongxin specially ordered people to send hundreds of pigs and sheep and a few carts of soju to reward the meritorious soldiers of Wang Long's department and thank them for eliminating the great harm for the place. (Huh?) It seems that I have found out that something is wrong there, how can a monk give wine and meat to others? He also told Wang Lung, "All the fields to which the temple belongs shall be paid in accordance with the regulations on money and grain promulgated by the army." What the army wants to plant in the temple, what the temple will plant, everything is only the general, the generalissimo is the head of the horse! ”

In this battle, the Zhenshan battalion harvested more than 10,000 soldiers, captured thousands of mules and horses, countless armor staff weapons, and conquered more than 100 sieges. Nearly one million people were liberated. As for how much gold and silver goods were seized, I am afraid that only Luo Rucai, Wang Lung and others know.

However, one or two things can be deduced, that is, Wang Lung generously sent a sum of money to the generals of the fourth battalion of Gezuo who rushed with him, and they immediately patted their chests and expressed their willingness to accept the command and dispatch of the young marshal.

As a result, this coalition army continued to go all the way from Luoyang to the east, sweeping all kinds of variegated armed forces along the way, Shen Jingbang, Ren Chen, Zhang Ding, Liu Hongqi, Zhou Jiali, Li Hao, Zhang Yang, Guo Huangmian, Zhang Changjiao, Wang Yanbin, Ning Zhen, Wang Wenhuan and others were either defeated and disappeared, or were beheaded to show the public, along the way from east to west, people kept transmitting the good news back to the Lu family.

With the good news coming back, there were as many as tens of thousands of surrendered troops, all kinds of goods and goods that were continuously transported to the east, and a large number of people were rushing forward, ready to trade all kinds of grain and materials with Shandong.

"King Chuang, Luo Hu has already followed. Yesterday's military report said that Wang Lung had just pacified the two brothers Lan Dalan, the leaders of the bandits in Xuzhou. These two bandit leaders, who have been entrenched in Xuzhou for many years, did not even support it for half a day, and they were breached by the city, and now, the heads have been hung on the city gate tower. Isn't it time for us to do it? ”

In Lingbao City, Gao Yigong's face was as deep as water, and he held a military report in his hand to inform Li Zicheng of Wang Lung's progress. "If we don't do it again, I'm afraid that we will kill Luo Rucai with our front foot, and another Wang Long will come out of our back foot! According to a rough calculation, there are now about 100,000 people of various poles planted in his hands. If he pacifies Yudong. Echoing with the Li family in Shandong, even if Luo Rucai is alone in my camp, I am afraid that it will be a situation of throwing rats! ”

"King Chuang, my righteous army's East Route Army has been receiving successes, should we invite the commanders of each battalion to celebrate? At the same time, let's discuss the matter of capturing Tongguan? Song Xiance's words didn't show any problems in his tone, but they matched the hideous look on his face. Suddenly, Gao Yigong burst out of his back with a chill.

Wu Ruyi, the commander of Li Zicheng's Chinese army, soon sent an invitation to Luo Rucai to celebrate the achievements of the Eastern Route Army and the main force of the righteous army to discuss the attack on Tongguan.

During this time, Luo Rucai's mood can be described in two words: excellent.

Wang Lung attacked the city again and again, and captured a lot. At present, six battalions of soldiers and horses have recently been newly trained in Cao's camp, and they are all equipped with swords, guns and armor. In addition to those elite soldiers, there are hundreds of thousands of strong people. Luo Rucai has already discussed privately with Ji Jue to prepare to open up wasteland in eastern Henan and other places, and these people are the best laborers.

"Celebration?" Luo Rucai habitually narrowed his slightly swollen eyelids, and looked at Wu Ruyi who came to deliver the invitation with a pair of small eyes hiding behind his eyelids. "The Generalissimo will let you run for this matter?"

The general laughed. Wu Ruyi is also a person who is used to being teased by Luo Rucai, but he is not in a hurry or annoyed at the moment. "The generalissimo means that the officers and men of the Eastern Route Army have fought meritoriously. Dozens of poles have been leveled in a row, and the yard has been cleaned for us in Henan, so we can settle down, right? Then the generalissimo pondered that the soldiers and horses had almost rested these days, and in a few days they would be able to attack Tongguan, and everyone would be able to celebrate the New Year in Xi'an City. ”

Wu Ruyi's words were reasonable, but Luo Rucai couldn't find anything wrong. "It's good! Tell the generalissimo that our Lao Luo must be on time! With that, he rolled his eyes. Suddenly, he grabbed the front of Wu Ruyi's clothes and shouted, "You kid! Don't fool me! ”

His action immediately frightened the two entourages who followed Wu Ruyi, although they were too low in position. It is difficult to get in touch with the core secrets, and I don't know the mystery of today's banquet, but from the solemn expressions and mysterious actions of several leaders of the camp, I can vaguely guess a few points.

In the past generations, among the peasant armies and bandits, there have been endless incidents of mutual fire and infighting. The people who can be selected to serve as personal soldiers in the old camp are also veterans who have experienced the baptism of war. I have also seen and even done the work of fire and annexation between various mountains. Naturally, you can feel it in the atmosphere and setting.

Seeing Luo Rucai's actions like this, the two relatives couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, "Could it be that the general's expression is wrong and he found out?" "Even if you touch the handle of the waist knife with your hand.

"General, please command." However, Wu Ruyi was quite able to hold on. Although Luo Rucai grabbed his clothes, his expression remained unchanged, and he still had a smiling look.

Luo Rucai carefully looked at Wu Ruyi's expression, and found that his eyes were not flustered and his expression was calm, so he was relieved, "Xiao Wu, the generalissimo is used to being frugal on weekdays, and he has coarse clothes and food. But now it's different, we'll go back to Shaanxi in Tongguan soon, and the scene that should be put out has to be put out! If you don't do a good job tonight and set up a few tables of sumptuous banquets, everyone can't drink this wine, don't blame us Lao Tzu for scolding the street in front of King Chuang! ”

"The general is relieved. When I came, I had already ordered someone to prepare. A few cooks in the palace of King Fu of Luoyang are good at cooking. There are also a few famous chefs in Luoyang City, who are good at cooking Luoyang water banquets. I'll keep an eye on them when I go back, and I'll make sure they show all their skills. I'm afraid that no matter how hard I put my heart, I will get an axe in front of the general! ”

Wu Ruyi slapped Luo Rucai's ass without a trace, which made him smile. The order of the Luoyang water seat is the first eight products (cold dishes), four town tables, eight large pieces, four sweeping tails, a total of 24 dishes, according to legend, the famous god of the Tang Dynasty Yuan Tiangang watched the sky at night, knowing that Wu Zetian would be the emperor in the future, but the heavenly machine could not be disclosed, so he designed this feast, indicating that Wu Zetian would be 24 years after the wine and meat. The particular thing is that there are meat and vegetarian dishes, vegetarian meat is made, the selection of materials is wide, the birds in the sky, the beasts in the ground, the swimming fish in the sea, and the vegetables in the ground can be seated. It is also quite tedious to cook.

"That's it! Since there is a water mat and the chef of the fat man's house of the blessed king mixes the banquet, our old Cao is naturally relieved! However, the wine can't be bad! ”

"This is natural! The wine has been prepared for our Xifeng in Shaanxi, Fenjiu in Shanxi, Fenjiu in Chengdian Town, and Daqu from Sichuan, which will definitely make the general and several marshals have a good drink. ”

"Get out!" Luo Rucai was satisfied with Wu Ruyi's empty kick, so carefully prepared. It seems that Li Zicheng needs everyone's hard work. It's okay, help him lay down Tongguan, let's Lao Tzu pull the team to Kaifeng again! When the time comes, also sing a sentence "Sit in Kaifeng Mansion!" ”

Sure enough, the pomp and circumstance of this banquet far exceeded the habitual impression of Luo Rucai, Ge Liyan, He Yilong and others on Li Zicheng, a guy who was used to being poor and hard.

Luo Rucai and Ge Li Yan He Yilong, Zuojin Wang He Jin, Reincarnated King Liu Xiyao, and Troubled King Lin Cheng each have a unique seat, and the tableware and wine utensils on the table are all made of gold. It's the so-called golden seat. There were cups and plates on the table, and the dishes were so rich that Luo Rucai, who was used to enjoying them, was a little dumbfounded.

"Li Zicheng is used to being simple on weekdays, but once he lets go, he is also the same person as me."

What makes Luo Rucai and others even more praised is that there are six beautiful women serving food and drink in each seat, and they don't need to pick up the dishes themselves, as long as they stare at which dish they spend more time, someone will use silver chopsticks to pick up the dishes and put them in front of him for him to enjoy. As for serving and pouring wine, helping to pick out the green onion and tiger head carp (one of the famous dishes of the water seat, one of the table dishes of the four towns, the long-whiskered carp produced in the Yellow River of Mengjin is the top quality. ) in the fish bones. It's even more breathtaking.

"Brother Li, that's right! What are we doing with our heads on our belts, and what are we doing all day long in life and death fighting the world? Isn't it just a picture of eating and drinking beautifully? "Zuo Jin Wang He Jin rubbed up and down on the woman who served the banquet with a drunken eye, and screamed arrogantly in his mouth." Why bother to suffer so much every day! ”

"Good! When I entered Xi'an Mansion, I Li Zicheng invited my brothers to eat chrysanthemum pot, camel's hoof soup, gourd chicken, elbow with handle, wisp fish, steamed baby fish, steamed mutton, and steamed mutton with a big bowl of mutton steamed buns, drinking Xifeng wine from our hometown in Shaanxi! ”

Li Zicheng also had a bit of alcohol. Before the banquet began, each battalion had already agreed on the attack on Tongguan, which battalion would lead the enemy. Which battalion to capture the ravines and mountain beams has been clearly assigned one by one.

Thinking about Tongguan at your fingertips. On the day when they were about to return home, everyone was overjoyed and shouted and drunk.

Even the soldiers of each family also had their own places to go, and they were rewarded with rich wine and meat to enjoy on the side. It was a celebratory atmosphere.

"Good! Okay, the generalissimo invites us to drink wine and eat meat every day, and we can't go empty-handed! Generalissimo. When you enter Xi'an City, our Lao Lin will immediately send you ten or twenty beauties, we can't break the momentum of the generalissimo, right?! ”

Li Zicheng smiled slightly and said: "If you want to say that you want to conquer the wine and meat of the Golden House, I can do it a long time ago." The main reason why they didn't do that was because the past was precarious. It is hard to relax and enjoy. Now that Chongzhen is at the end of his rope, it doesn't matter if he treats himself appropriately. But in the future, we must also be moderate, and we must not suffer the people of the world because of our own pleasures. ”

"The generalissimo's character and feelings are not comparable to those of us rough people. We just want to have good food and drink when we are alive, and we will have wine, meat, and beautiful women. The generalissimo's command, let's get on the horse and fight without blinking, the drunken woman who hangs on the top and comes back if she doesn't die is also a beautiful thing for a lifetime! ”

Although he drank a lot of wine, Lin Chengcheng, the king of troubled times, still couldn't stop using his unique rough language to curry favor with Li Zicheng. At present, among the four battalions of the left side of the revolution, it is no longer the monolith of the day, but each battalion has its own ideas and thoughts. Since the joint operation, the generals at all levels under Li Zicheng have constantly entered and exited the battalions, carrying wine, meat, money, and heavy gifts, making friendships with the generals of each battalion, and winning over and bribing them.

Now in the fourth battalion of Ge Zuo, Ge Li saw that He Yilong was very close to Luo Rucai, and he also said in private that if Luo Rucai made any moves, He Yilong would definitely follow. And the three people of Zuojin Wang He Jin, the reincarnated king Liu Xiyao, and the troubled king Lin Chengcheng gradually fell to Li Zicheng's camp. However, because of Ge Li's face and He Yilong's face, it was difficult for them not to follow Luo Rucai.

However, at the moment, everyone is eating under Li Zicheng's big banner, so it is natural to have some stammers with the rice class owner. This was originally a simple idea that Lin cultivated, but he didn't want to inadvertently save his life!

There is no such thing as a banquet that will not be dispersed. After the feast, naturally, the leaders got up and left, and they had to go back and prepare according to King Chuang's orders, and the army would be dispatched in a few days.

At the gate of the Generalissimo's Mansion where someone couldn't stop burping and making the wine angry, everyone couldn't stop talking arrogantly, as long as my battalion arrived, Tongguan would naturally be at your fingertips. What Xi'an can take down the horse, such bold words, nonsense, endless.

In this noise, Li Zicheng stood on the steps and gave him his hand. Luo Rucai was about to get on his horse and leave with a group of personal soldiers, but he saw the lights in the distance, and it seemed that a large group of men and horses were moving.

"King Chuang, that is?"

"It's nothing, everyone just agreed to take Tongguan, so I asked Jiexuan and Hanju to lead a group of men and horses to set out first."

"Brother Li is really amazing! This side has just been agreed, and that side will send troops overnight, and it is really a fast soldier. He Jin, Lin Yangsheng, and Liu Xiyao didn't care about getting on their horses, and praised the soldiers and horses who broke into the camp all the way for their speed.

"Okay, Brother Rucai, Brother Blind, it's not too early, let's get on the road!"

As Li Zicheng's words came out, Luo Rucai didn't have a reaction in his mind as to why he said such an inauspicious word, but his body instinctively fell down, lying on the horse's back, and as soon as he lifted the reins, he was ready to flee first under the escort of his own soldiers.

But, it's too late!

From the streets and alleys around the Shuai Mansion, on the roofs of the courtyards, countless people flocked out, each holding a fire gun in their hands, and under the reflection of the lights, the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the hundreds of people in the square of the Xingyuanmen.

These people are clear of the tap fire, and they are all spurted, even if someone can escape these hundreds of tap fire, they will not escape the assassination of the spur. Faced with this situation, Luo Rucai actually smiled indifferently easily. Because, this scene is too familiar, I have done it countless times, the so-called coming out to mix sooner or later will have to be returned, and I will pay it back today.

"By order of the Generalissimo! Luo Rucai and He Yilong colluded with Zuo Liangyu and killed him immediately! The rest will abandon their weapons and submit to the obedient will not die! ”

The sound of the bell sounded, and in the firelight and gunsmoke, the personal soldiers of Luo Rucai and Ge Li Yanhe Yilong were beaten and rolled to the ground. Luo Rucai's mind was blank, with a wry smile on his face, he pulled out a handcuff from his waist, "Lao Tzu is dead, and he can't die in the hands of you Li Zicheng!" ”

The sound of guns rang out, and the ground was covered with blood. (To be continued.) )
