Chapter 49 Zhang Xianzhong premeditated Huguang

In public, there are some things that are difficult to say. After the banquet was over, Luo Rucai called all his cronies, such as his sons and nephews, and even Mr. Ji, Luo Dain, and even Zhang Xuan were also pulled over to attend.

Originally, it was in the study of King Tang, and there were more than a dozen people sitting at this moment. This is the core personnel in Cao Ying. Even Luo Yufeng is not qualified to be here, although she has a high status, she is a woman after all, and she has never been able to go to the formal scene.

"Today, the general will send someone, and I see that Huang Hu is a little reluctant. He had decided that he would not go to the camp with the general. Shall we join forces with the camp? Luo Rucai said.

"Listen to the palm of the plate, the palm of the plate says that the joint venture, then the joint venture, anyway, the joint venture with the Yellow Tiger, and the joint venture with the general, there is not much difference between the two." Rodain said. Although he lacks ability, his qualifications are very old, so he spoke first and brushed his presence in front of Luo Rucai.

Luo Rucai looked at Luo Yulong, and Luo Yulong said, "Listen to Daddy." ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Luo Rucai's eyes, but how could he not know what his own son was like, he only sighed slightly and said nothing. Then his gaze turned to Zhang Yingyuan.

Zhang Yingyuan is one of Luo Rucai's foreign generals, he pondered for a while, and said: "With the meaning of the last general, we don't want to go to the joint camp with the general, this time is the time when the general is complacent, even if we go, how can we deal with ourselves, it is like now being on an equal footing with the Yellow Tiger, in this way, what is the difference with the joint venture with the Yellow Tiger, if it is under the general, wouldn't it be more unsatisfactory, so why go to the joint camp?" ”

"Yes." The generals nodded their heads one after another.

Luo Rucai bowed slightly, which was also part of his thoughts.

Luo Rucai asked Ji Jue, "What does Mr. Ji think?" ”

Ji Jue pondered for a while and said: "My lord, with the meaning of the student, who is this joint camp with depends on the strength of my battalion. How can you make King Chuang pay attention to it, and look at Huang Hu's attitude, he doesn't have much good looks at Chuang General, if he leaves, will he turn against Huang Hu? Therefore, the meaning of the students is not to be a joint venture now. However, Huang Hu is becoming more and more arrogant, and it is obvious that he wants me to list Cao Ying as a subordinate. Even the strength of the current camp is above my Cao camp. Therefore, if you want to cooperate with Huang Hu for a long time, adults want to think about whether this equal status should be retained. Therefore, please plan ahead. ”

Ji Jue means between the lines, defecting to Li Zicheng, but now is not the time.

Zhang Xuan lowered his head and didn't speak, but he despised Luo Rucai's subordinates in his heart, they can fight well on the battlefield, and they are better than Zhang Xuan, I don't know how many times, but in the overall vision of the world, they are muddy, almost all of them are blind, what kind of idea is it.

Luoyang, Xiangyang, Nanyang, the three cities in a month or two, one after another, one after another, plus the people of Henan have been thieves, not officials, this has shown that the situation of the righteous army has taken a turn, if the righteous army used to be full of food, in order to survive, was chased by the official army everywhere, but now it has reached the situation of anti-guest.

From surviving and begging, it has reached the stage of competing for world domination.

Now what Luo Rucai should think about is that if he seizes the opportunity in the competition for hegemony in the next few years, he will analyze it from now on, instead of being entangled in the joint venture and who to partner with.

If Zhang Xuan is asked to make suggestions, let him immediately join forces with Li Zicheng. Without him, not for Li Zicheng, but for Henan.

During the Chongzhen period, Shaanxi was seriously affected first, and now it is Henan that is the most seriously affected, even if it is Nanyang, which is relatively far south, it is also a handful of grain, and hundreds of people come to serve as soldiers, so it is the development of the righteous army, Li Zicheng can be within a month or two, a million violent soldiers, it is precisely because Henan is a feng shui treasure for the righteous army.

Immediately advancing into the hinterland of Henan is the most important thing, don't let Li Zicheng monopolize it, this is the most important thing, not anything else.

However, Zhang Xuan's newcomer didn't dare to talk nonsense, and if he accidentally said the wrong thing, no one could save him.

"Report, the Eight Kings are visiting." A soldier said.

Luo Rucai had no choice but to terminate the meeting and go out to talk to Zhang Xianzhong in the living room.

"Huang Hu, it's so late, why are you coming to me?" Luo Rucai looked like he had just woken up, as if the person who had just discussed with his subordinates overnight was not him. This question is almost a little knowing, Zhang Xianzhong must be trying to find a way to keep Cao Ying, instead of letting Cao Ying leave him and go to Li Zicheng.

"Brother Luo." Zhang Xianzhong also pretended not to know this. "I have great news for you. ”

"But I don't know what the good news is?" Luo Rucai said

"Yang Sichang has committed suicide by swallowing gold." Zhang Xianzhong said.

"Okay." Luo Rucai said: "It's indeed good news, whoever we feel troubled by, Chongzhen Lao'er will kill it for us, it's really good." ”

Zhang Xianzhong laughed suddenly, feeling that what Luo Rucai said was wonderful, but it may not be unreasonable.

Lu Xiangsheng seems to have died in battle, but in fact he was killed by Chongzhen, and Chen Qiyu is such a powerful person, forcing the righteous army to be defeated in the carriage gorge, and was sentenced to death by edict, etc., there are countless of them.

I have to say that this is a black humor, but this cold joke is not over yet, and it continues to be staged.

Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said: "Now that Yang Sichang is dead, there is no leader in Huguang, it is a good opportunity for us to start, I decided, go east first, get rid of Zuo Liangyu, and then go south to Huguang." ”

Luo Rucai said: "Why not in Henan? The general can storm millions of soldiers in Henan, but we go south to Huguang instead? ”

Zhang Xianzhong is precisely because Li Zicheng is in Henan, so he is unwilling to stay in Henan for a long time, and the so-called one mountain does not allow two tigers. Zhang Xianzhong did not mean to surrender to Li Zicheng, so it was naturally better to stay away from Li Zicheng. But this meaning cannot be said.

"The general is also out of breath, known as the king of Chuang." Zhang Xianzhong said: "You don't know the virtue of the imperial court, he has done such a big thing, he will definitely recruit the heavy troops of the imperial court to encircle and suppress, if you join forces with Li Zicheng, I am afraid you will have to fight hard with the official army." Even if Li Zicheng claims to be a million people, he can only fight three or five thousand, but he has to feed millions of people, and I am afraid that the army will not even be able to match food at that time. And Huguang is different, the imperial court is heavily stationed in Henan, we happen to show our might in Huguang, Huguang is ripe, the world is full, to Huguang, are you afraid that there is no food? In addition, as soon as Yang Sichang died, there was no one in charge of the overall situation in the south, wouldn't it be the place where you and my brothers were rampant? ”

What Zhang Xianzhong said is not unreasonable.

Entering Henan is the heart of the people, and entering the lake is food. It's just that he still keeps his thoughts on the rogue, and he only feels that where the officials and troops are weak and rich, they will flow wherever they are. I had to think this kind of thought, but it just hit Luo Rucai.

Yes, what's good about Henan, Henan people are hungry and eat people, where is Huguang good, Huguang is familiar with the world, and if you go to Huguang, you will definitely be able to let your brothers eat enough.

People who have never been hungry have never known what it feels like to be hungry, Luo Rucai already has a psychological shadow about it, and when he heard Zhang Xianzhong say this, the original idea of preferring to join forces with Li Zicheng was slowly dispelled.

"Okay, so you and I will join forces to turn Huguang upside down." Luo Rucai said.

Cao Ying's major affairs have always been Luo Rucai's words, and Luo Rucai agreed here, so there is no repetition. On the second day, He Ying was recruited, politely rejected Li Zicheng's solicitation, and presented gold and silver to send He Ying away. Since the goal was decided, he didn't have the intention of staying in Nanyang for a long time, so he ordered all departments of Cao Ying to prepare for the camp.

But before the camp is pulled, there is one more thing to do.

That's Heijo.

The so-called Pingcheng is to demolish all the cities of Nanyang City, and it is well known that the rebels cannot attack the city. If you don't demolish the city, if you come back in the future, it will also become an obstacle for the rebels. Only by demolishing it can the officers and soldiers not be able to shrink. It's just that you move your mouth on top and break your leg below.

This matter fell on Zhang Xuan's head. Let Zhang Xuan's busy feet not touch the ground.
