Chapter 438: Li Zicheng seeks revenge

Hearing Mo Changrong, the commander of the Tang Army at the head of the city, speak like this, Li Chengdong snorted, then pulled out the horse's head and quickly returned to Gao Jie.

After listening to Li Chengdong's report, Gao Jie frowned, but still ordered loudly: "Okay, just like them, we are willing to lay down our weapons and let them check."www.biquge.info ”

Li Chengdong frowned and said, "General Gao, if we are so easy to speak, wouldn't we have lowered our own reputation?" ”

Gao Jie smiled bitterly: "Cheng Dong, it is unreasonable for us to come all the way to join the Tang Army, and it is normal for the other party to be suspicious, how can our army not show sincerity?" On my orders, the whole army was to disarm their armor and weapons and let them test them. ”

Li Chengdong clenched his fists: "Obey the order." ”

After seeing that all the rogues abandoned their armor and knives and completely put down their weapons, Mo Changrong Fang opened the city gate, first released some soldiers, and went to check whether they had hidden weapons on their bodies, and after finding out that they did not have weapons, he officially welcomed them into the city.

Entering the city, Mo Changrong quickly caught a glimpse of the Xing clan who was hiding behind Gao Jie and was quite attractive.

Seeing that Mo Changrong was looking at himself curiously, Xing's face turned red, and he couldn't help but lower his head.

And seeing Mo Changrong seeing Xing like this, Gao Jie's face turned red and white for a while, he coughed lightly, and a smile appeared on his face: "This is Gao Mou, dare to ask the general's name?" ”

"Oh, General Gao, the contemptible person is Mo Changrong, the deputy commander of the Tang Army's expedition to the west, you can come to vote for Tang Guogong, it is indeed a far-sighted move, but please come into the hall to speak."

Mo Changrong came back to his senses and replied with a smile.

"Please General Mo to lead the way." Gao Jie also replied with a smile. Subsequently, Mo Changrong instructed the supervisor Qi Mo to take Gao Jie's troops into the military camp to rest, and asked him to open a good dormitory for the Xing family. Then, together with Gao Jie, he entered the living room to watch and sit down for tea. Here, Gao Jie secretly told Mo Changrong about the reason why he had defected to the Tang Army, and Mo Changrong nodded again and again. "General Gao, it is really a wise move for you to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light in time to serve my family Tang Guogong. The lord of my family is the material of the Ming Dynasty, and he is now fighting and attacking all over the country, and there is a great shortage of people. General Gao, you can lead your troops to report in time, which is a very good thing. I will send someone to deliver a letter to Lord Li immediately, General Gao can rest assured. "Oh, then Gao will thank Camp Commander Mo." Gao Jie sighed and said: "Then Li Zicheng, when he sees me leaving Shaanzhou, he will definitely be angry, maybe this person is leading his troops all the way here." Mo Changrong pondered for a while and said: "General Gao, don't worry about this matter, your department will rest here for a day, starting tomorrow, escorted by our troops, and go to Jintang City, my Xuanfu Town, and then our army will recruit soldiers and horses from the North Camp and send you to Shandong." You go north and then south like this, and then go to Shandong after a big bend. In this case, Li Zicheng can't figure out your traces, so naturally he can't find you. "Okay, then Gao, I will accept the affection of Camp Commander Mo." Gao Jie solemnly bowed his hand to Mo Changrong. Mo Changrong said with a smile: "General Gao is polite, from today onwards, everyone will serve under Master Li, so how can they divide each other." However, I have a word that I have to tell you solemnly. "Please." "General Gao, since your unit has joined our army, from now on, you must try your best to get rid of your original habits. You must know that our army has very strict military discipline and strict restraint on subordinates. But you will never be allowed to wait, and you will do as before. General Gao should remember this. Mo Changrong had a solemn look on his face. Camp Commander Mo saw that the lesson was correct, and Gao wrote it down. Gao Jie arched. Early the next morning, Mo Changrong arranged for his Sentinel Horse of the West Battalion B to lead Gao Jie and others straight to Jintang City, Xuanfu Town. Among these people, except for Gao Jie, Li Chengdong and other high-ranking rogue generals, after wearing armor and taking weapons, the rest of the rogue people were all bare-handed. Mo Changrong arranged this way, because he was afraid that these rogues would be on the road, and they would be unable to bear their previous habits, harassing the place and robbing the people, so it was the safest and safest way to let them disarm and leave. After seeing his own armor sentry horses and taking Gao Jie and others straight north, Mo Changrong breathed a sigh of relief. He sighed to Qi Mo: "This Gao Jie, I heard that he was a close subordinate of Li Zicheng, but I don't know why, he actually came to join our army, which is amazing. Qi Mo smiled and said: "What is this, this just shows that our Tang Guogong can recruit heroes and have the world in mind, so that we can be so attractive to these thieves." Anyway, when they arrive in Shandong, Master Li will make arrangements for them, so what do we have to worry about? "Next, after three days of peace, when Mo Changrong was counting his grain inventory in the city, suddenly a soldier came to report quickly." Oh no! Oh no! Battalion Commander Mo, there are a large number of rogues who have crossed the Yellow River and killed us in Haoyang City! Mo Changrong was shocked when he heard this, hurriedly put on his clothes, and immediately walked up to the city gate. Sure enough, he saw that a large number of rogues were rushing towards the direction of Haoyang City with overwhelming momentum. There are a lot of rogue people, and at a glance, there is no boundary, not to mention forty or fifty thousand people. Mo Chang Honor immediately ordered all the defenders to go up to the city to set up defenses. At the same time, he quickly sent people out of the city to the neighboring towns to ask for reinforcements, thinking that it was a perfect solution. At this time, the supervisor Qi Mo and Liu Zunru, the commander of Haoyang County, came to the city of Haoyang in a hurry. Seeing so many rogues outside the city, Qi Mo frowned, while Liu Zunru, the county commander, was pale and sweating like rain. "Battalion Commander Mo, what can you do! This thief is gaining momentum, can you still hold it?! Liu Zunru's questioning voice was trembling. Hmph, there is a way for soldiers to block, water to cover the earth, the enemy soldiers are in a hurry to come from afar, and there are no siege equipment, and they have no ability to eat our army immediately. Moreover, our army is all elite soldiers, and they can fight against these thieves, so why be afraid! Mo Changrong said with a sneer. Mo Changrong's magnificent words greatly encouraged the county commander Liu Zunru, and he nodded and said: "Battalion Commander Mo, you are so confident, I also believe in you." It's a pity, if your armor sentry didn't leave a few days ago, now you are defending the city, but you are more confident. "So what, although I only have Sentry B and Sentry C, it is enough to defend the city. What's more, in our army, there are 2,000 musketeers temporarily transferred from Xingzhong Town, all of whom are equipped with Lumi guns that can shoot from a distance. Listening to Mo Changrong's words, Liu Zunru felt more and more confident in his heart, and he sneered: "In this case, then Battalion Commander Mo, you will guard the city well, and I will go down first." "Well, you go down first, organize the officials and young men in the county, and maintain order in the city, and don't cause chaos in the city, understand?" Mo Changrong admonished him. "That's nature, Camp Commander Mo, you can rest assured." Liu Zunru walked down the horse road and replied loudly to Mo Changrong. After Liu Zunru retreated, Mo Changrong continued to look at the march of the thieves with a clairvoyant mirror. Soon, Mo Changrong saw that Liukou was crossing the Yellow River quickly, and immediately surrounded this small city of Haoyang. Then, just a stone's throw away from the east gate, more than a dozen elite horsemen, surrounded by a tall man, wearing a tight blue robe and a Fan Yang felt hat, stood facing the city gate. Seeing this person's iconic dress, Mo Changrong couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This person is not Li Zicheng, who else can he be? This Li Zicheng, the reason why the pro-unified army came to attack today must be because a few days ago, Gao Jie came to defect to himself. Sure enough, as soon as he put down the clairvoyant mirror, he heard Li Zicheng's urn voice coming from outside the land of the arrow, and he shouted angrily: "Wuna guard!" You heard me clearly, and I want to ask you something. "What do you want to ask me?" Mo Changrong also replied in Shaanxi dialect. "A few days ago, a group of our soldiers and horses named Gao Jie came to join you and wait?" The big man shouted angrily. Hearing Li Zicheng ask, Mo Changrong finally understood why Li Zicheng, who was far away in western Henan, would come all the way to attack his own small city, which was actually of no strategic significance. It turns out that it's all for that Gao Jie! It seems that between that Gao Jie and that Li Zicheng, there must be an extremely serious and even unforgivable holiday, so that this Li Zicheng, regardless of anything, personally led the troops to come, and chased thousands of miles to the city of Haoyang. Mo Changrong immediately thought to himself, fortunately he let Gao Jie's troops leave in time, otherwise, if Li Zicheng saw Gao Jie's soldiers and horses under the city, he was afraid that he would go crazy and attack him. "Mu You, I have someone here to Mu here, King Li Chuang, you must be mistaken." Mo Changrong came back to his senses from his deep groans and immediately replied loudly. "How can there be! Some of his subordinates have specially reported to you, saying that they came straight to you from Shaanzhou, and you should deny it! The anger on Li Zicheng's face made his long knife-handled face more and more hideous. King Chuang, it's really woody, you can also see that the defenders at the head of my city are all soldiers and horses from my family's headquarters, but which one of them is the soldier you came to vote for. Mo Changrong continued to deny: "Maybe they voted elsewhere, and you don't know about the king, but it's also possible." Listening to Mo Changrong's answer, Li Zicheng looked hesitant, but he still shouted loudly: "You say this, but I don't believe it!" Let them come in, and search the city, and if you really don't come, you will be spared. Listening to King Li Chuang's words, Mo Changrong couldn't help but groan. At present, there are nearly 50,000 rogue troops outside the city, even if they can't attack the city for a while, but if they really have all the siege equipment, it is really not difficult to capture this small city of Haoyang. Although the thousands of soldiers and horses under his own command will definitely inflict heavy casualties on them, the enemy's strength is so great, the odds of victory are still obviously on their side. For now, there is only one gamble. Just bet on this Li Zicheng, afraid of his own strength, and he really wanted to find that Gao Jie, so as to let go of this Haoyang City. "Medium! You can send up to three people to the city to inspect them. But Mo has a request to make it clear to you, that is, once it is found out that there are indeed no soldiers and horses of Gao Jie's department in my city, please withdraw your troops immediately. Mo Darong shouted loudly. Li Zicheng discussed with a few guards next to him in a low voice, and then said loudly: "Okay, I promise you." Then send men into the city now. When Li Zicheng was selecting the three envoys, Qi Mo, the supervisor on the side, said with some worry: "Battalion Commander Mo, don't you worry, this Li Zicheng is going to send these three people to sentry into the reality of my county seat in Haoyang?" When Mo Changrong heard this, he sneered and said: "The details of the soldiers and horses in our army city have already been reported to Li Zicheng by the details arranged by them. Why bother to do this and send someone to the city of Haoyang to spy again? "What do you mean, Camp Commander Mo?" So he let them into the city, and when they found that there were no soldiers and horses of Gao Jie, they would retreat. Even if they don't retreat, it's not too late for us to have another bloody battle with them. And if they come into the city, I have a word to consult with them. A faint smile appeared on Mo Changrong's face. Soon, the suspension bridge was lowered, and three Li Zicheng's envoys rushed over the suspension bridge. As soon as they crossed the bridge, the drawbridge was pulled up to prevent the soldiers and horses behind from stealing it. Three envoys entered the city, one of them was short, wearing a Pingyang scarf, wearing a regimental collar round shirt, and three locks of clear beard, and bowed to Mo Changrong: "Dare to ask the general's surname, this official is a military advisor under the account of King Li Chuang, his name is Song Xiance, and he is specially ordered by King Li Chuang to come to your city to visit, and I hope that the general will take me and others to go there immediately." Mo Changrong sighed, and said secretly in his heart, it turns out that you are the famous military advisor Song Xiance under Li Zicheng's account. Song Xiance, a native of Yongcheng, Henan Province in the late Ming Dynasty, was a fortune teller, and was later recommended by Niu Jinxing, and became a famous strategist under Li Zicheng's account. "In order to help Li Zicheng ascend to the throne of God in public opinion. After Li Zicheng ascended to the emperor, in order to reward this person's merits, he was specially named the founding military division. It's just that later, after Li Zicheng escaped from the capital, when he fled to the vicinity of Wuchang, this person was captured by the Qing army together with the general Liu Zongmin. Liu Zongmin surrendered unyieldingly, but Song Xiance immediately surrendered on his knees and flattered the Qing court with his own divination skills. However, the Qing court was always wary of these rogues, and finally the Qing court found an excuse to behead them at the entrance of the vegetable market. Mo Changrong sneered and said: "The general's surname is Mo, his name is Changrong, don't worry, I will take you to visit this Haoyang City, but if the three of them can't find out the whereabouts of Gao Jie's subordinates, what should they do?" Song Xiance was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "If I don't wait for anything to find out, and I will retreat and go back, why should General Mo ask more?" Mo Changrong snorted again, and said: "Song Junshi, if you really haven't found out any demons, General Ben has a suggestion and wants to talk to Song Junshi." "Oh, what a suggestion, General Mo, but it doesn't hurt to say it." "Well, this is the hope of the general, from now on, our army and your troops will no longer attack each other, but can do a business together." "Ah, what does General Mo want to do with our army?" Song Xiance was obviously surprised. "This is what our army hopes to use our army's goods and money to buy the displaced people captured by your department. How about it, Master Song, my suggestion is good. Mo Changrong said with a sneer. This ...... "The short and thin Song Xiance, with his beard, has a pair of triangular eyes, the black and white eyes, but they are turning rapidly in the bones.
