Soon, the prince Zhu Cunji, who was dressed in pro-dynasty uniforms, and a cadre of the clan were brought to the city, with two county kings, more than a dozen Fengguo generals and auxiliary generals, and more than one of the remaining lieutenants.

Because they opened the Qin Wangfu on their own and surrendered to the camp, according to Song Xiance's orders, the old camp was not bound.

After coming in, the clans hurriedly moved forward and knelt down and kowtowed to Li Zicheng, Zhu Cun showed his identity as a prince, and stumbled first:

"The King of Sin, Zhu Cunji... The king, no, the great... Generalissimo respectfully respectfully... Jun'an! ”

Li Zicheng has been known as the generalissimo or the king of Chuang for nearly a year, and he has already regarded himself as the true dragon son in his heart, and he has not heard the infamy of the word "thief" for a long time, and now he suddenly scolded from the mouth of Kong Zhen, a eunuch, and suddenly there was an insulting anger rising from his heart.

However, after being the leader for so long, he still cultivated some self-cultivation, and he didn't have a seizure right away, just quietly waiting to see Kong Zhen's face.

"The royal clan you have always been loyal to is kneeling in front of me at this time, what are you still foolish about?"

"Zhu Cunji, let me ask you, am I a thief?" As he spoke, Li Zicheng looked at Zhu Cunji with murderous intent.

In order to survive, Zhu Cun was extremely busy and said: "No, you... You are the Generalissimo. ”

"Your Highness!" When Kong Zhen heard this, he angrily reprimanded: "Please respect yourself, Your Highness!" These are all thieves who are against our Ming Dynasty!! ”

After Zhu Cunji came up, he walked straight towards Li Zicheng, who was standing in the middle, but he didn't dare to look at it directly, and he was even more nervous when he heard about the handling of the clan by breaking into the camp earlier.

At this time, he suddenly heard Kong Zhen's voice, and immediately pointed at him and scolded: "It's all you, the prison guard, who has become what it is now, it's all you!" ”

Then he bowed his head to Li Zicheng and said, "Xiao Wang knows... Knowing that the generalissimo was irresistible, for the sake of the lives of tens of millions of people in the city, he wanted to surrender the city as soon as possible. ”

"But he and the king... Wang Shizhong just didn't agree, and even though Xiao Wang asked for help with the war salary, they had to hit the stone with an egg, ignoring the life and death of the people in the city. I beg the Generalissimo to be strict with him... Severe punishment will not be loaned! ”

This Zhu Cunji stumbled when he spoke, although his words sounded pleasant, but Li Zicheng was very tired of his extremely flattering appearance.

"Kong Zhen, did you hear everything?" Li Zicheng sneered and asked him.

"Your Majesty, the slave didn't expect that the Daming clan would produce such a scum, and the slave and maid cried for the emperor for the ancestors!" Kong Zhen fell to the ground and wept bitterly.

Li Zicheng's face suddenly turned cold, "Are you planning to go all the way to the dark?" Let me ask you one last thing, to descend or not to descend! ”

"No matter what underworld and white things our family has, I only know one sentence, the man and the thief are not separate!" Kong Zhen turned to Li Zicheng and glared angrily, then looked at Zhu Cunji, and scolded bitterly:

"The Daming Sect has produced a scum like you, our family really feels sorry for the 20,000 soldiers who defend the city, Wang Zongzhen, your death is not worth it!!"

Hearing this, Li Zicheng didn't say anything for a long time, and the old camps on both sides saw the muscles on his face tremble.

Suddenly, a cold light shot out of Li Zicheng's eyes, and he said coldly: "Kong Zhen, I heard that after Wang Shizhong was hacked to death by Liu Zongshao, you cried bitterly in the city?" Okay, now I'll fulfill you and let you go and be his companion! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zicheng shook his saber and shouted: "Come on, take Kong Zhen to the crowded place in the city, and hack him to death with a knife!" ”

Kong Zhen laughed, and was escorted away by several old battalions, but Liu Zongmin, who watched the whole process, took two steps forward and said jokingly to Zhu Cunji:

"King Qin, I heard that you are the third son of the previous King of Qin?"

"It's... The general whistle asked what this is for..."Zhu Cun replied with a cowering heart.

"Then I remember, Zhu Youhua, the king of Nanyang who made the eldest brother anxious, seems to be the third son of King Fu, and they are all from the third son, but why don't you two look like each other at all?"

Zhu Cunji didn't answer, and wanted to say something later, but saw Li Zicheng wave his hand in disgust and said:

"Zhu Cunji, several generations of your Qin king's clan have been rampant and domineering in Shaanxi, and the people have done all kinds of evil, and they should have been severely punished.

"After I defeat Sun Chuanting and Yang Sichang and establish a country, I will give you a knighthood. Go down! ”

When he spoke, Li Zicheng didn't look at Zhu Cunji and the group of clan disciples behind him.

Zhu Cunji and the other clans stammered a word of gratitude to Dade again, kowtowed several times, and then cowered down.

After a while, several old battalions went to the city to report that Kong Zhen had been taken to a dense place and slashed indiscriminately, and the corpse was blurred with flesh and blood, and the face was unrecognizable.

After Li Zicheng heard this, he was silent for a long time, and he also said with some admiration: "I didn't expect that this eunuch would be so loyal to that Chongzhen!" ”

......

After Li Zicheng cut down Kong Zhen, he ordered martial law in Xi'an City, and made intensive preparations to meet Sun Chuanting.

Because Sun Chuanting was much faster than the estimated time, this also caused the plan to attack Yang Sichang first and then fight Sun Chuanting in advance to become invalid.

When the camp was urgently discussed in the Qin Wangfu in Xi'an, Zhu Youhua also arranged the affairs of Neixiang and Zhenping, and returned to Nanyang with the front foot, and ushered in an uninvited guest on the back foot.

"The prince of Nanyang defeated the Liukou, Liu Dashuai wanted to come early to congratulate, but he didn't expect that the wind and rain on the road would be delayed for a while."

The one who spoke was a man, speaking the local official dialect of Shandong, and he looked like a merchant who was dressed like a foot.

Listening to the 'Liu Dashuai' in his words, the guard glanced at the general soldier token in his hand again, and it seemed that the identity of the person who came was about to come out.

This is not a trivial matter, the guards hurriedly reported it, and soon the man was led to the middle hall of the Nanyang Palace, and when he saw Zhu Youhua looking at a painting with his back to him, he hurriedly said:

"Zheng Longfang, the deputy chief soldier of Shandong under the account of the little Liu Dashuai, has seen the prince of Nanyang."

Shandong Liu Dashuai?

Hearing this, Zhu Youhua was a little surprised, Shandong General Liu Zeqing sent a deputy general soldier from so far to find out what he was doing, it can't be gossip, right?

Thinking of this, Zhu Youhua motioned for him to sit aside, and asked with a smile: "The great thief in the inner countryside, that is the credit of Commander Yang and Huang Garrison, what does it have to do with this king?" ”

Zheng Longfang laughed a few times dryly, and said: "The prince said that he laughed, who doesn't know that this Nanyang and even Henan, the clan that speaks effectively, you are the only one." ”

It seems that before the other party came, he had also been carefully considered and secretly visited, and since Liu Zeqing wanted to get straight to the point, he had nothing to hide.

"What does Liu Dashuai want this king to help with?"

In this troubled time, Liu Zeqing is also one of the few powerful people in Nanming in the future, whether he likes it or not, it is always no problem to contact it.

Zheng Longfang and Zhu Youhua came into contact with different Ming generals, and those Ming officers outside the Nanyang battalion were basically characters who were quite good at words.

For example, those in Luoyang City, these in Nanyang, they are not so much generals as officials, everyone looks at the style, judges the position, welcomes the officials, and deducts military salaries, which is a top ability.

But if they want to train and fight, then they will completely go up to deliver food, and even Liu Zeqing and others are called fierce generals, and the level of the Shandong official army can be imagined.

It's just that Zhu Youhua still doesn't know whether the deputy chief soldier in front of him is Liu Zeqing's die-hard loyalist, or he is forced to be his subordinate due to coercion.

Before coming, Zheng Longfang received Liu Zeqing's instructions.

They also had a general understanding of the situation in Henan, and they must have known that the prince in front of them held a relatively large force in Henan, so they would come all the way to Nanyang.

Zheng Longfang's eyes tightened, and he said straight to the point: "I came to Nanyang this time to borrow a sum of silver from the prince. ”
