Chapter Seventy-Three: Zhang Kewang lost his words

"Li Zicheng." Zhang Xianzhong returned to the Wenchang Temple and said sharply: "There are his people everywhere." Bingwen: What do you say we should do now? ”

Wang Bingwen coughed twice and said, "Let it be." ”

"What?" Zhang Xianzhong said: "You mean that Ren Cao Cao was pulled away by Li Zicheng? ”

Wang Bingwen said: "Bingwu, now that the situation is like this, if you force Cao Cao to stay, I'm afraid you will turn against you." I don't think Cao Cao has the intention of running for the general, so the only way to do this is to go with the flow, ease the relationship between the two parties, and don't think about it anymore. Perhaps in this way, the relationship between the two sides can be maintained. ”

In fact, the contradiction between the two sides has always come from a delusion of Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong wanted to include Luo Rucai under his command, but he was not satisfied with the equal cooperative relationship between the two sides, and wanted to further subordinate the relationship. That's why he is so sensitive to Luo Rucai's strength growth, and he will mind Li Zicheng's success in Luoyang like this.

In his mind, if there is no Li Zicheng. He Zhang Xianzhong was the first leader of the rebel army to kill the vassal king of the imperial court. may be able to convince Luo Rucai.

But the appearance of Li Zicheng made Zhang Xianzhong's wishful thinking wrong.

"Father-in-law, why do you have to think so much, we will send troops tonight. After the fire merged with Luo Rucai, am I afraid of Cao Ying's failure to sacrifice the camp. Zhang Kewang said loudly.

There was a hint of intention in Zhang Xianzhong's eyes in an instant.

Zhang Xianzhong is different from Luo Rucai, Luo Rucai talks about face, and there are some things that he can't do. But Zhang Xianzhong is ruthless. The rumors of the Yellow Tiger's thirst for killing spread all over the world, and it will not be without reason.

Zhang Xianzhong's momentary intention was nothing else, he was considering the possibility of success and the impact.

Now Xianying and Cao Ying are in the same city, and under the mental calculation or unintentional, Huo and Cao Cao may not have no chance of winning. But what to do later?

After killing Cao Cao, can he really accept Cao Cao's subordinates?

No.

Because Li Zicheng is the messenger.

Cao Cao was very righteous and harsh on his soldiers, but he was very good to his officers, and everything was divided equally. Cao Cao is a good dog and horse, but these things are also distributed to the officers below, and most of Cao Cao's women are distributed to the officers and non-commissioned officers after playing.

Perhaps these qualities are the best scum in modern eyes. But at that time, it was very able to unite a group of people.

Even if Zhang Xianzhong killed Cao Cao, he might not be able to accept Cao Cao's subordinates.

Just like Li Zicheng, after Li Zicheng killed Luo Rucai, some of Luo Rucai's troops defected to the official army, and fought with the Chuang army under the command of Zuo Liangyu and Sun Chuanting, after Li Zicheng's defeat at Shanhaiguan, after the first group of people who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, there were Luo Rucai's men and horses, after Li Zicheng was killed, Wang Jincai jumped from a small partial general to a general with tens of thousands of generals, because Wang Jincai led Luo Rucai's old department, and the army was not a fellow traveler.

It can be seen that Luo Rucai is very popular.

The annexation of Luo Rucai's department is definitely not something that can be done by killing Luo Rucai.

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhang Xianzhong said sharply: "Brother Luo and I are like brothers and sisters, you should also call Brother Luo an uncle, how can you talk like this." Get out. ”

Zhang Kewang didn't dare to have a hard face with Zhang Xianzhong, so he had to lower his head and say: "Yes, the child knows that he is wrong, and the child will retire." ”

Zhang Kewang couldn't figure out what Zhang Xianzhong was hesitating about for a while.

Zhang Kewang came to the outside of the tent and couldn't help muttering: "I don't know, what is hesitating about, it is obviously a matter that ends after killing Luo Ru." Indecision. ”

It's just that Zhang Kewang didn't notice that when he said this, there was a person in the tent next to him who heard it clearly.

"Are you telling the truth?" Luo Rucai asked solemnly.

"What the students said was true, and the students reported it in the camp, and Zhang Kewang went out of Zhang Xianzhong's big tent alone and talked to himself; Kill Luo Ru to end it. 'Words. This matter is absolutely unforgiving, and please prepare in advance. Ji Jue said.

I don't know if Ji Jue passed it wrong, or if he got the first-hand information, that's it.

Luo Rucai said: "No, Huang Hu won't be so unwise, he is a smart person." Even if you kill me now, it won't do you any good. ”

Ji Jue said: "Palm the plate, you are treating people with yourself, do you think that the big families in the city, the warehouse is full of grain, and they dare not send a grain of rice to help the victims, and they have to go to the hungry people to kill the door, and they don't wake up, and they are too stupid to look at it from an outsider's point of view, but people in the bureau may be confused and can't see the gains and losses clearly." The heart of hurting others is indispensable, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. ”

Luo Rucai had seen Eryu and I deceive, so naturally he would not fully believe Zhang Xianzhong, nodded and said, "You give the order to go down, and the whole army will be on alert." Remember to secretly give orders, and do not alarm the Yellow Tiger. ”

Luo Rucai's last exhortation is a white admonition, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai are in the same city, if Zhang Xianzhong can't even understand the movement of Luo Rucai's army, then he is not Zhang Xianzhong.

Just when Luo Ru had just passed the order to the generals at all levels.

Zhang Xianzhong also got the order.

"What is Cao Cao going to do?" Zhang Xianzhong was suddenly shocked and said: "Why are you rectifying the soldiers and horses?" ”

"Father, there are only our army and Cao Cao in the city, and since Cao Cao has reorganized his troops and horses, there is no other goal, only us. Father, we can't be caught off guard. Zhang Dingguo said: "We also have to prepare early. ”

"Okay." Zhang Xianzhong was originally a suspicious person. No matter what the situation, only soldiers and horses can bring him a sense of security.

Zhang Xianzhong gave an order, and the entire Xinyang City suddenly became tense.

Zhang Xuan's department was originally placed at the city gate, because he didn't have many people left, and because most of the corpses killed in the battle of Zhang Xuan's belonged to him were near the south gate, Zhang Xuan gathered up the corpses one by one, and prepared to find some wood to nail out the thin-skinned coffins, so that they could be buried in the ground.

When he was alerted by the whole army, Zhang Xuan didn't know what was going on. However, more than 100 people were immediately gathered, but it didn't take much time to see the hundreds of horse teams on the streets in the South Gate City, instantly isolating Zhang Xuan's troops from Cao Cao's brigade in the city.

Zhang Xuan was taken aback, and only then did he think a little later: "Could it be that Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong want to merge?" For a while, Zhang Xuan's cold sweat came out.

Many times internal killings are more powerful than external killings, once Luo Rucai fails, I am afraid that none of the people of the Luo family will not be able to stay, Zhang Xuan suddenly thought of Luo Yujiao, and said secretly: "If Luo Rucai is defeated, Yujiao may be in danger." ”

For a while, Zhang Xuan was a little restless.

"Quiet." Cao Zongyu grabbed Zhang Xuan's hand and said in a low voice: "You are the master of the first army, and everyone is watching you." ”

When Zhang Xuan heard this, although he was still a little anxious in his heart, his face also calmed down. From a distance, there is still a bit of confidence.

"Don't you think this is an opportunity?" Cao Zongyu whispered in Zhang Xuan's ear: "As long as we escape from the South City Gate, there is the Shihe River outside?" We also know where there are ships, and if they go down the river, even if they decide the winner, they can't catch up. ”

Zhang Xuan's heartbeat skipped a beat for a while, and then it was like beating a drum and beating a dense drum. Secretly said: "Yes, why didn't I think of it? All I had to do was seal the gates, and immediately run over the river, where the boat that had crossed the river last time was still hidden in the reeds by the river, and I now had more than a hundred men under my command, not too many, but not too little. It should be no problem to go all the way to Gangnam. ”

As for the baggage required on the road, Zhang Xuan didn't think about it at all, he had been following Luo Rucai for a long time, and Zhang Xuan was also contaminated with some gangsterism, so he just grabbed it on the road.

The chances of this plan are high. But Zhang Xuan was a little reluctant for a while, he didn't seem to have thought about how to go to Jiangnan for a long time.

"Wait." Zhang Xuan didn't understand what he was thinking, and said, "Now that the situation is unclear, it's better not to act rashly." ”

"If you're safe, then I can leave in peace." Zhang Xuan thought silently in his heart.

Cao Zongyu glanced at Zhang Xuan, as if he saw something, sighed slightly in his heart, he didn't speak, and he was a little reluctant to do anything else, because Fang Wan'er was not here.
