If King Liang really has a problem because of them, then what awaits them is a knife in the head. Therefore, at this moment, Zheng Chongying looked at the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp with arrogant eyes. Wang Zike also heard this, and he was furious, how could a few broken thieves dare to threaten the general soldiers of the dynasty How dare he, immediately he just wanted people to throw Zheng Chongying into the oil pot, but Yang Chengchao next to him pulled him.

Wang Zike reacted immediately, if this group of people died, it didn't matter, but if they threatened the safety of King Liang, then he, the general soldier, would also be at the end, and when the time came, in the face of the turbulence of the world, even Yang Yongchang would not be able to save him.

Seeing Zheng Chongying in front of him, Wang Zike had no choice, the most important thing was the meaning of Zheng Chongying's words, so that he didn't dare to act rashly, so that someone usually dared to talk to him like this, just throw it outside and hack him to death.

But now, thinking of the other party holding King Liang in his hand, this idea is just an idea, I can't say that Wang Zike still wants to let people replace the oil pot immediately, and the knife and axe hands on the left and right also retreated, and said with a smile: "Okay, I just had fun with you just now, I don't know what you have to do here?" Wang Zi looked at Zheng Chongying and the others with a smile, without the slightest embarrassment.

At this time, Zheng Chongying and the others were stunned, the contrast was a little too great, and a soldier from the camp muttered in a low voice: "It turns out that the officials of the imperial court are like this now, no wonder this world is so chaotic." Hearing this, Wang Zike's face twitched slightly, and the same was true of Yang Chengchao and Cao Shinian behind him.

Fortunately, they are all people who have been officials for many years, even Cao Shinian, this point is still available in the city, Wang Zike said: "I don't know if you thief army, oh, no, what is the matter with the Dingying camp coming here?" ”

When Zheng Chongying heard this, he stood there and said, "Hmph, I think Lord Wang, you should give us a chair." Wang Zike hurriedly said: "You still don't give ......" Speaking of this, Wang Zike was stuck, and he said curtly: "I don't know who the little brother's surname is?" ”

Zheng Chongying said lazily: "Okay, Lord Wang, I won't talk to you anything else, my name is Zheng Chongying, I hope you can remember my name, here, there is a letter from King Liang, for you, brothers, let's go." ”

After saying this, Zheng Chongying threw the letter to a soldier from the Beijing camp next to him, and walked away with the rest of the four soldiers of the Dingying camp swaggering, all the way, laughing and laughing, without any sign of fear at all.

And those soldiers in the Beijing camp, after seeing a few of them, also hurriedly gave up their positions, for fear that they would run into them, these people just said that if they were missing something, then the fingers of King Liang, who was two hundred miles away, would not be able to be saved.

It's just that Wang Zike, who was above, was stunned for a while, he didn't expect that a messenger from the Dingzhu camp would be so arrogant, what kind of person would that Red General be?

Seeing his soldier handing over the letter, Wang Zike could hold back the irritability in his heart, flipped through the letter, and after reading it, he sighed again.

Yang Chengchao asked, "What did King Liang say?" ”

Wang Zike gave him the letter and asked Yang Chengchao to read it for himself, but after reading only half of it, Yang Chengchao said loudly: "These thieves really dare to ask for them, why don't they rob them?" "Angry, he threw the letter to the ground.

Cao Shinian was also very curious when he heard this, and took the letter, but the content in it made him a little angry, in fact, King Liang just said that they should hurry up and save his family, and the others behind it, it was Zhou Qiyun and Zhou Qiyu who told Zhou Chengchun, the king of Liang, about Liu Qing's conditions.

And Liang Wang Zhou Chengchun also had no way, that is, he wrote the above conditions very clearly, but this is indeed a bit outrageous, because Liu Qing They don't want gold, silver and jewelry, but military weapons.

Cannons, firearms, armor, horses, food, medicine, as long as they can think of something, they have always opened a big order, and Zhou Chengchun, the king of Liang, is still begging them to send these things back to him quickly.

Cao Shinian also scolded: "The thief is shameless." However, when he finished saying this, he was also a little silent, if the thief who could scold failed, he would definitely continue to scold, but this did not have any effect.

In fact, Cao Shinian knew the situation in front of him better than anyone else, and they relied on their own strength to eliminate the thieves of General Chi in the short term. The number of people in the Beijing army camp is now less than 10,000, and more importantly, these people have lost the vigor of the past.

And the thieves, according to his estimates, how can there be tens of thousands of people, in fact, to talk about it in detail, tens of thousands of thieves are not anything, now there are twenty camps of homeless people in the Dajing Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of homeless people.

But the thieves in front of him are indeed different from the usual, what is the difference, Cao Shinian can't say everything, but the most obvious point is that these thieves have a sense of arrogance, with a different arrogance from ordinary thieves, which comes from the depths of the heart, Cao Shinian often sees this trace of arrogance from the soldiers of the Yiwu Army.

Moreover, their combat effectiveness is still very strong, and they actually annihilated the more than 2,000 elites in the Beijing camp, which has a little sneak attack in it, but more of it is a real record.

According to the news learned from his uncle Cao Tinglie, Cao Shinian already knew that the current 20 battalions of displaced people had been divided into two routes, all the way into Kou Shaanxi, all the way to Hubei and other places, and the current war was extremely stale, and his uncle, Cao Tanlie, had no way to manage these things in northern Henan.

Just a few days ago, the spear eagle general Li Yongcheng came to a surprise attack, and the Hubei officials and troops were almost defeated and lost, 10,000 officers and soldiers were killed, and the trend of the thieves was blazing for a while, and even shouted out the saying that they would drink the Yangtze River and join Wuchang.

Zhou Chengyu, the king of Chu, had already sent someone to question his uncle Cao Qianlie, asking him how he drove the thieves to Hubei and whether he could exterminate the thieves, which made Cao Qianlie very embarrassed for a while.

On the other hand, the officers and soldiers are waiting for their new commander-in-chief, Chen Yunding, so they are also a little idle, and Sun Chuanling, the governor of Shaanxi, is already leading the army to garrison Hangu Pass at this moment, monitoring the thieves outside the pass day and night.

It can be said that at this time, the inland areas of the Dajing Dynasty are full of flames, and they really don't have much energy to take care of this matter in northern Henan, and everything is just handled by themselves.

What to do?

Cao Shinian woke up from his stunned thoughts, looked at the other two people, and the three of them looked at each other with a wry smile, but they didn't realize that an hour had passed at this moment. Just as the three of them were about to say something, another report came, saying that Yuan Yunmo, the governor of Henan, was here.

Hearing this report, the mood of the three people is more or less better, at least, there is another anxious, people are like this many times, when they are in difficulty, they see a companion, although there is no benefit to things, but there will always be a little relief in the heart. However, the arrival of Yuan Yunmo has been of great help to this matter.

When the dusty Governor Yuan came to the camp of the Beijing army, Shui Dou didn't take a sip, and immediately asked, "What's wrong with King Liang?" ”

Hearing this, the three of them didn't speak, only Cao Shinian handed the letter in his hand to Yuan Yunmo, seeing Cao Shinian, Yuan Yunmo's face changed for a moment, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything, and took the letter and read it.

The more he read, the longer he waited, and after waiting for a long time, Yuan Yunmo said, "As long as you promise this, can you exchange it back for King Liang?" ”

"Huh?" When the three of them heard this, their eyes lit up, could it be that this Yuan Governor had any good way to come out.

Wang Zike relied on the fact that he and Yuan Yunmo were both Yang Yongchang's people, and hurriedly asked, "Does Governor Yuan have any good ideas?" ”

Seeing that it was Wang Zike who spoke, Yuan Yunmo didn't say anything else, but said very normally: "There are no good ideas, but as long as the thieves can agree, it doesn't hurt to agree to their conditions." Hearing this, Cao Shinian first quit, he said loudly: "Lord Yuan, you must know that the things on this are enough for an army of 10,000 people, and when the time comes, these thieves will get these, and at that time, it will be a monstrous disaster." ”

Yuan Yunmo heard that it was Cao Shinian who spoke, first of all, he didn't like it, and when he heard his words against him, he was also angry, and he said: "Little Marquis, I don't know, what good way do you have to get King Liang back, you know, if it is really at that time, the Son of Heaven is angry, I think, even your uncle Dingguo Gong will not protect you at this time." "You ......" When Cao Shinian heard this, he pointed at Yuan Yun silently and couldn't say anything.

Because he knew that what Yuan Yunmo said was the truth, although his life was worry-free, after all, the relationship between the hundred-year-old lord and the royal family was there, but his personal future in the future was not easy to say, which was even more uncomfortable for Cao Shinian, whose heart was higher than the sky, than killing his life. Seeing that the two of them were arguing, Yang Chengchao hurriedly came out and said: "Don't quarrel everyone, now, the most important thing is to rescue King Liang, now King Liang is in the hands of thieves, it's easy to say if the time is short, if it's a long time, maybe there will be some kind of chaos." ”

Yuan Yunmo looked at the letter again and said: "According to what the letter says, at least King Liang is not in danger for the time being, but this matter, we must do it as soon as possible, now that the thieves are blocked, my emperor should not know about this matter yet?" ”

This is what he is asking the three people, whether they stopped the news, hearing this, Wang Zike first said: "The thieves blocked the post station, killed, burned and plundered, it is estimated that this news, if it reaches the capital, it will take some time, but we must inform the emperor of this news as soon as possible." ”

This is Wang Zizai telling Yuan Yunmo, rest assured, this matter is suppressed.

The words of the Great Jing Dynasty are indeed broad and profound, and the meaning between the lines is that people need to slowly figure out some of the deep meanings in them.

Hearing this, Yuan Yunmo finally had a temporary peace of mind.

When this matter was finally confirmed and not known by Emperor Jiachong, Yuan Yunmo finally regained a trace of his spirit, he looked at the three people in the tent, and said: "These thieves are asking for such a ruthless price, but we must give them to them, as long as they can exchange for the safety of King Liang, all the price is worth it, my lords, you must know that these things are a heinous crime for thieves, but if you don't give them to the thieves, King Liang is killed by these people who are anxious, then what awaits us is the end of going to prison immediately, I don't think you adults want to taste what it would be like to go to prison or commit suicide. ”

Hearing Yuan Yunmo's words, the three of them were silent, they knew that what Yuan Yunmo said was the truth, and they had no choice in this matter, and more importantly, they couldn't delay it.

Although it will cause huge hidden dangers, but if you don't do it now, the things that these people cherish will not be guaranteed, thinking of this, several people glanced at each other, and they all made up their minds.

Cao Shinian first said: "However, we really can't make up these materials." ”

It's no wonder that Cao Shinian said this, the main thing is that Liu Qing and their fight this time is a hammer deal, and the asking price is very ruthless, just talking about the two thousand firearms, it is enough to give them a headache, not to mention a series of gunpowder saltpeter or something after that.

There are also 3,000 pairs of armor and so on, basically even if the weapons on the soldiers of the Beijing army camp are thrown out, it can be enough to fill their desires, but obviously, this is impossible, how can the soldiers of the Beijing army camp not become empty-handed soldiers.

The eyes of the three people invariably looked at Yuan Yunmo again, now, only this governor can make a big head, holding the military and political affairs of a province, these things should be obtained by stretching out their hands.

This is also an important reason why the three of them are in a hurry to tell Yuan Yunmo about this matter, there is no way, who let Governor Yuan have the goods in his hands.

However, Yuan Yunmo didn't think so, he said: "This is the disadvantage of your northern Henan camp, why should this governor bear so much, to put it this way, these things are shared equally between the four of us, and no one should say anything about the best." ”

But Cao Shinian smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Yuan, but I don't have anything in my hands." Saying this, his face turned pale, obviously thinking of the ghost-faced cavalry who was buried in the belly of the fish at Dafankou.

"Then you can write an IOU, just write how much money you owe someone Yuan, and I can give you a discount." When he said this, Yuan Yunmo finally revealed his wishful thinking.

Looking at the sinister look on his face, the three of them couldn't help but be stunned, after all, the three of them have more or less something to do with the army, so they still have a little bit of binding force, after all, the Great Jing Dynasty is very good for these elite soldiers.

However, Yuan Yunmo was born at the bottom, and he understands very well those Taoists, his current abacus is very shrewd, it is nothing more than to use the public's property to exchange for King Liang, the most important reason why this hole is easy to make up is that there is a righteous guise on it, Cao Shinian's IOU, of course, went into the private pocket of Lord Yuan.
