When the [Jiaozhou] confronted the pirates on the boundless turquoise sea, the city of Nanzheng was also turbulent.

With the passage of time, the Thunder Tiger Brigade, the Snow Leopard Brigade, and the Flying Bear Brigade have all arrived in Nanzheng County, Hanzhong, and at this moment, Li Gu, the commander of the Beast Legion, has been waiting for a long time.

Liu Xia's secret letter to Li Jinzhong, the guard of Baoning Mansion, has been delivered to him at this moment.

"Liu Xia wants me to surrender to Cheng and open the Sword Pavilion to welcome him into Sichuan. How do I choose? Li Jinzhong frowned, and his heart was troubled. He has indeed been centrifuged by Zhang Xianzhong, but if he really betrays, he is still a little timid in his heart. Zhang Xianzhong's title of Killer Demon King is not for nothing. If the matter is exposed-

But if Liu Xia surrenders, will he be eliminated in the future? After all, he is a surrendered army, and he will definitely not be favored by others. If you can betray Zhang Xianzhong, then you can't betray him Liu Xia?

No one likes a general with a backbone.

According to Liu Xia's letter, if the general surrenders, he can lead 8,000 troops and be a brigade-level commander. I don't know what brigade level means, but at least it's a little more powerful than before. But if my soldiers and horses are disrupted and reorganized, won't it become an empty shelf? Liu Jinzhong thought worriedly. After all, there will be a lot of problems after surrendering.

As for the military system of the Pingbei Army, he is not very clear at present. However, being able to command 8,000 soldiers and horses is also a lot.

In the ancient dynasties, in fact, there were not too many troops. The elite field troops are basically about two or three hundred thousand, and there may be more dynasties, and most of the remaining million are local defenders, and their combat effectiveness is not strong.

And what Liu Xia gave Li Jinzhong was a field army, so it can be regarded as relatively powerful, and the possibility of promotion is also very high. It's much more promising than being a local garrison regiment.

Most of the local garrison regiments were transferred from sick and disabled officers, and there was basically no possibility of promotion.

It seems that Liu Xia is planning to use troops in Sichuan. Also, now is a good time, Zhang Xianzhong's main forces have now entered Yunnan to confront Wu Sangui. There are not too many soldiers and horses in Chengdu City, if the sword gate is wide open and Liu Xia's soldiers and horses are welcomed, it will be really-" Thinking of this, a glimmer of light flashed in Liu Jinzhong's eyes. If he surrenders to Liu Xia, then the greater Liu Xia's strength and the larger the territory, the more beneficial it will be to himself.

"For example, there are still many places that are still unsettled, if I can help Liu Xia to calm the country, even if I can't make a founding achievement in the end, I will definitely not be forgotten. As the saying goes, the icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow. Liu Xia wants to attack Sichuan now, if I don't open the way, he will inevitably suffer countless casualties if he forcibly attacks the Sword Pavilion. ”

Thinking of this, a smile flowed from Liu Jinzhong's mouth.

The next morning, Liu Jinzhong claimed that he had taken a concubine to hold a happy event, and all the middle and high-level officers in the army were present. In fact, there were hundreds of people and horses of the Pingbei Army ambushed everywhere in that field.

Yesterday, Liu Jinzhong had already handed over a letter of surrender to Li Gu, and formally surrendered to Liu Xia in private and became a member of the Pingbei Army. However, not all of the garrisons of Boryeong Mansion are of the same mind as him. There are also many people who are loyal to Zhang Xianzhong. So Liu Jinzhong and Li Gu co-directed a scene. Let all the main characters in the military horses of Boryeong Mansion come over, and then catch them all.

"Congratulations!" A middle-aged man dressed in the official mansion of the Onishi Imperial Court walked over with a smile on his face. However, if you don't look carefully at the ruthless look in his eyes, you will definitely mistakenly think that he and Liu Jinzhong are very good friends.

This middle-aged man is the prefect of Boryeong Province, called Duan Huarui. It's just a few years since I took office. When he came here, many places in Baoning Mansion were in charge of Liu Jinzhong, and he was naturally dissatisfied as a prefect, but Liu Jinzhong held military power in his hands, and he was helpless, so he secretly forbeared. Looking for an opportunity to give Liu Jinzhong a fatal blow. In fact, he has collected a lot of bad things about Liu Jinzhong, has already written a memora, and is waiting to be sent to Chengdu to impeach Liu Jinzhong for Zhang Xianzhong.

"Joy and joy" Liu Jinzhong's face showed a smile, and he was in that period of Hua Ruixu and the snake. They talked to each other word by word.

Now the entire Liu Mansion is festive, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going. I'm afraid that the threshold will be broken.

"Master Li will send a pair of jade ruyi!"

"Commander Zhang sent a good Changbai Mountain ginseng."

"Huang Xiancheng sent a pair of calligraphy and paintings!"

“……”

As the person in power in this Boryeong Mansion, Liu Jinzhong's face is very large, and almost all the powerful people in this Boryeong Mansion have arrived. Even if he is just taking a concubine, his identity as Liu Jinzhong is there.

"Lord Liu, congratulations!"

I saw a man in a military uniform come over and congratulate Liu Jinzhong. This person is an officer, but he does not agree with Liu Jinzhong, but he is a person close to Duan Huarui. And his power is not small, so Liu Jinzhong can't take him.

Liu Jinzhong smiled: "Joy and joy." If Master Li can come, it really makes the small mansion shine! ”

The legion surnamed Li also smiled hypocritically: "Where, Lord Liu is holding a happy event, where can the lower officials not come!" ”

Liu Jinzhong said: "You're welcome." You may be seated. ”

The officer surnamed Li arrived: "Lord Liu is the master, take the seat"

"Hey, the visitor is a guest, where can you snub the guest?" Liu Jinzhong said with a decent expression, and his face even turned cold. If the officer surnamed Li didn't sit, he probably turned his face.

"Lord Liu, please."

"Lord Li, please."

Liu Jinzhong snorted coldly in his heart, thinking: "Smiling Tiger, it will be your death in a while, and now let you have to be scared first." Hum. I don't know what to do, and I dare to go against General Ben. ”

The officer surnamed Li was also thinking in his heart: "Old thing, wait, let you have fun today." In a few days, when the prefect submits the fold to the emperor, it will be your death. Tsk, this new concubine, I'll have to take a look in a while, if it's really good, it's okay to stay by yourself. ”

In this way, the two of them have their own thoughts, but they keep smiling on their lips.

When it was close to noon, most of the people who could come came here. The whole courtyard was full of joy.

Li Jinzhong walked to the middle of the courtyard, with a smile on his face, and said, "Everyone, be quiet, your lords, be quiet first, and let this official say a few words." ”

Liu Jinzhong spoke, and those who were still talking about it suddenly stopped. Turning his head, he waited for Liu Jinzhong to speak.

"Today is the big day of the official, please come and have a scene, Jinzhong once again thanked all the adults for their faces." Speaking of this, Liu Jinzhong arched his hand to the people present.

Immediately, I remembered the warm applause.

Liu Jinzhong continued: "Presumably, all the adults have also heard about the army of King Zheng in the north and has begun to assemble in Nanzheng. When Li Jinzhong said this, the scene suddenly became full of discussions. After all, this is a major matter related to the safety of their lives, and there is no room for mistakes.

"Lord Liu, what do you say?" An official turned his gaze to Li Jinzhong.

"Why are you afraid of Liu Xia, as long as we guard the Shu Road of the Sword Pavilion, then Liu Xia will not be able to get over even if he puts on his wings." Another general-like man had a look of nonchalance.

Immediately, there were different opinions, but no one present dared to say that they surrendered to Liu Xia, even if some people thought so in their hearts, they would not say it at this moment.

Liu Jinzhong glanced at everyone, coughed dryly, and said, "Everyone be quiet, be quiet!" ”

After a while, Liu Jinzhong saw that the scene returned to quiet, and said loudly: "Zhang Xianzhong is cruel and violent, and he is not a benevolent monarch. The official intends to open the Sword Gate Pass and surrender to King Zheng, who is a hero of a generation. The officials under his rule are honest and the people are healthy. Business is gathered, and the armed forces are strong. He is the right man for our allegiance. I wonder what everyone thinks? ”

Before Liu Jinzhong finished speaking, the scene was out of control, and there were different opinions. There are not a few people who insult Liu Jinzhong, and of course there are many people who agree. And Duan Huarui, the prefect of Baoning Mansion, was sitting on the chair at the moment, his face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word.

He really didn't expect Liu Jinzhong to surrender to Liu Xia.
