Chapter 66: Luo Rucai has a heart-to-heart

Zhang Xuan wiped his tears and followed Luo Rucai out.

Luo Rucai did not return to the big tent, but walked in the camp and stopped under a watchtower in the camp. Luo Rucai repelled left and right, took Zhang Xuan to the watchtower, and looked at the south from afar.

That's the direction of Xiangyang City.

Along the way, Zhang Xuan had adjusted his mood, although he was still a little sad, but he had already pressed it down, and said, "King Chuang's side basically agreed." Cao Ying and Chuang Ying broke up peacefully. Cao's army went to the east, and the army of Chuang Ying went west. ”

"I bowed my head to the general, why didn't the general agree." Luo Rucai sneered and said, "And I'm not going east now, where are I going?" Zhang Xianzhong is preparing to attack the south, should I go to the south to camp with Zhang Xianzhong? I can see it through, both of them want to be emperors, and I Luo Rucai can't do it if I don't want to. ”

Zhang Xianzhong advanced to Wuchang from the east, and at this moment the troops were directly pointing at Wuchang, and the number of army expansion was huge, and even more than half of them were surrendered by the official army.

Of course, Zhang Xianzhong's march was so smooth, but also borrowed Li Zicheng's east wind, Li Zicheng defeated Zuo Liangyu, so that Zuo Liangyu did not dare to review, and all parts of Hubei lost confidence in the imperial court, Li Zicheng wanted to rectify the place, repair the soldiers and horses, Zhang Xianzhong took the opportunity to attack these places before Li Zicheng attacked, and did not encounter much firm resistance at all.

Moreover, Zuo Liangyu refused to fight hard for the imperial court, and before his army was integrated, Zuo Liangyu resolutely refused to fight with the main force of the righteous army.

And Li Zicheng will obviously operate Huguang as his fundamental territory.

If Cao Ying goes south, Li Zicheng is probably not at ease.

As for westward expansion, it is even more impossible.

There is Sun Chuanting.

Although Sun Chuanting had the defeat of the persimmon garden before, the name Sun Chuanting can be worth tens of thousands of soldiers.

Although Luo Rucai was confident, he was also a little worried about letting tens of thousands of troops fight against Sun Chuanting alone, and Xiangyang and Shaanxi were too close. It is estimated that Li Zicheng is not worried that Luo Rucai is in Shaanxi.

So to the east.

Returning to the Huai River Valley is one of Luo Rucai's only choices.

"Dashuai, King Chuang also asked me to bring two heads, saying that it was to make amends." Zhang Xuan said.

"Oh." Luo Rucai said: "Who's." ”

"One Li Zhensheng, one Qiu Zhitao." Zhang Xuan said.

"Two nobodies, but just one step." Luo Rucai sneered: "If he sends Niu Jinxing and Li Xin's heads over, there will still be some sincerity." ”

Luo Ru has only heard of these two people, a former inspector and the son of a university scholar, but they are really nobodies in the camp.

Neither does Zhang Xuan

cared, after all, he didn't remember what these two people had done in history, so he didn't mention it, and said: "King Chuang also sent a batch of grain, but it can't be sent until after the enthronement ceremony." He wanted to invite the marshal to the ceremony. ”

"No, no." Luo Rucai said: "I don't care if I bow his head, I still want to kowtow to him, don't even think about it." Just listen to what you mean, can't we leave right away yet? ”

"Yes." Zhang Xuan said: "According to the meaning of King Chuang, he is about to prepare for the enthronement ceremony, and at that time he will be crowned the king of the marshal, and the general of the East and the governor of Nanzhili will be warned." The government was opened. ”

"Okay." Luo Rucai said: "But be careful, maybe it is a delaying tactic for the generals." ”

Zhang Xuan's heart tightened, he had never thought about it here, and said, "It's still handsome and wise." ”

"Enthronement ceremony, when?" Luo Rucai asked.

"I don't know." Zhang Xuan said: "It hasn't been decided yet, saying that I want to choose an auspicious time, but I have already discussed it with King Chuang, at most in mid-April." ”

Luo Rucai sneered, didn't know who to laugh again, and suddenly said: "By it, I'm old." ”

Zhang Xuan didn't know why Luo Rucai suddenly said this, and said, "Where did the big handsome say this? When Liu Bang raised the army, he was only at the age of the handsome. ”

"I'm old." Luo Rucai sighed and said with a sigh: "Have you always felt that I was an old fool before, and I didn't listen to any persuasion." So much so that there was a disaster the day before yesterday, and his life hung by a thread. ”

"The son-in-law doesn't dare." Zhang Xuan immediately said that he still wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Luo Rucai.

"Don't dare, it's not nothing." Luo Rucai said: "Why don't I understand Li Zicheng's thoughts, it's just that I can't fight with Li Zicheng, I'm old, Doctor Li said to let go of all affairs, under his conditioning, you can still live for a long time, but if you don't let go of the affairs in the camp, it will be three years or five years." Bound to die. ”

"What?" Zhang Xuan said: "Doctor Li really said that? ”

In an instant, Zhang Xuan thought a lot, and many things he didn't understand also had some names.

"God has never been nice to me?" Luo Rucai said: "Three years, five years I don't care, Zhang Xuan, you are the wisest in Cao Ying, you tell me now, after three or five years, can you calm the world?" ”

Zhang Xuan was silent.

Now it is the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen next year, the first year of Hongguang is also the first year of Longwu, then the second year of Longwu, and then the first year of Yongli.

If nothing else, just by looking at this era name, you can know that the world can be calm?

Silence is also an attitude.

"I'm old, I can only support it for a few years, and in the future, Cao Ying will be handed over to Yulong, you, Wang Long, and Uncle Dain are also old, and it is estimated that they will be supported

In a few years, it's up to you. Luo Rucai said meaningfully.

Zhang Xuan suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, and there seemed to be a faint murderous aura that didn't know where to start, he immediately bowed down and said, "The little son-in-law will definitely assist the eldest brother to calm the world." ”

"Okay." Luo Rucai patted Zhang Xuan on the shoulder and said: "I can't trust anyone else in Cao Ying, the three of you will support each other in the future, I will give you a chance in the next few years, whether you can achieve something depends on yourself." ”

"Thank you father-in-law for your love." Zhang Xuan said.

"You're tired today, so go back and rest." Luo Rucai said.

"Yes." Zhang Xuan bowed down.

An An walked back to his room in parts, and after Zhang Xuan drank a pot of herbal tea, he felt that his back was cold, and it was all dry.

Luo Rucai didn't believe anyone in his words, he only believed Luo Yulong, he, and Wang Long, which were somewhat credible. Zhang Xuan couldn't get it at all.

This kind of leader talks with his subordinates alone, making you think that he has shared the core secrets and become a means for his subordinates, and Zhang Xuan also commonly uses it.

For Luo Rucai's words, he can only believe half of it, and even if Luo Rucai only has three years to live, Zhang Xuan doesn't believe it, if Zhang Xuan believes it, he has made a lot of plans, three years later. What should Luo Rucai do if he suddenly gets old and strong?

"However, I am the son-in-law of the Luo family, Wang Lao is the nephew of the Luo family, and I have a close relationship with Luo Rucai, and it is not entirely a lie to think about it, I am afraid that Luo Ru will start cultivating Luo Yulong in the future." Zhang Xuan secretly scrutinized in his heart.

There was a sudden feeling of unwillingness in my heart.

Some people say that every Chinese has an emperor dream in their hearts, perhaps somewhat absolutely, but it cannot be said that it is wrong. Cao Ying's supreme power is in front of him, no matter whether Luo Rucai is really approaching his life or fake, Luo Rucai is already in his fifties, but it is true.

"Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan, don't think about it, just live peacefully, besides, my eldest brother is good to me, even after my eldest brother ascends the throne, I am also an important minister, the father of the country, and I definitely have the qualifications to be buried in Babao Mountain in the future generations, what am I not satisfied with."

"It's not the first three rows, it's the first row. And with Luo Rucai's means, as long as I have my mind, maybe he will take me away before he dies. ”

"Enough, enough. Don't think about it anymore. Zhang Xuan secretly calmed his heart and wiped out the trace of ambition that was born.

It's just that a trace of regret has been surrounding Zhang Xuan's heart all the time, and it can't disappear.

"Is General Zhang here? Is General Zhang here? Someone outside was knocking on the door gently, and as soon as Zhang Xuan heard the voice, he remembered who it was? It was none other than Yuan Shimin, who secretly said in his heart: "How did I forget him." Thinking about it, he was already in a hurry. ”

"General Yuan, please come in." Zhang Xuan said.
