Vote for the name, this is a must-have thing for all poles who want to join another group, just like when Li Zicheng wanted to join his own uncle Gao Yingxiang's team, he also made a breakthrough for Gao Yingxiang.

In particular, if you want to be recruited by the official army now, you need a strong letter of surrender.

However, now Li Zicheng is very sad to find that a big vote is in front of him, but he no longer has the strength to take it. Not only that, but what is even worse is that this vote may also make a vote for itself.

Sitting in the tent that was simply set up, looking at the original hall full of generals, now there are only two old men, Mrs. and Shang Jiong, and there are still a few children and young generals, Li Zicheng is full of sadness.

In the first battle between himself and Lu Shi, the cadres who were originally gathered together are now almost all killed, and the old foundation brought out by Shaanxi is now completely wiped out, and the rest is these children and women who can't become a climate, this time it is really a failure, and it will be difficult to recover in the future, and the original ambition will also completely die out at this moment.

"Surrender officers, what will we get at this time?" Li Zicheng asked Mrs. Gao, but he was actually asking himself. What good results can a lost dog have?

"We have been against the official army for many years, and we have become a thorn in the side of the government, and if we really surrender to them, I am afraid that there will be no good end." Mrs. Gao whispered. Looking at the tent, because of Li Zicheng's decision, the generals who completely extinguished the original little fighting spirit and military spirit couldn't help but sigh: "Especially now we are facing Hong Chengchou, this figure who is the main suppressor of the imperial court, it may be more difficult to recruit An." ”

This is the truth, which is also the reason why Li Zicheng hesitated.

Originally in Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou, who was just the governor of Yansui, lured many poles down the mountain to surrender in the name of Zhao'an, but he didn't expect it to be a Hongmen banquet, Hong Chengchou booby-trapped more than 30,000 poles at one time, so that the original vigorous Northern Shaanxi Righteous Army was completely extinguished, and everyone had to go to Shanxi and Henan to avoid this killing god.

At this time, he was promoted to the governor of the three sides, leading the military of the five provinces, supervising the division and suppressing bandits, and holding the power of life and death.

Now I have been forced into a dead end, and if I don't surrender, I will die, in fact, when people are really about to die, they will be particularly nostalgic for life, at this time, even if there is a glimmer of hope, they have to struggle to survive.

"Actually, we still have a way to go." Shang Jiong used a wooden stick to pull the fire on the ground to make the fire more vigorous, making this extremely dark and oppressive tent a little warmer and brighter.

Li Zicheng knew what Shang Jiong was going to say, but this time he didn't refute it, just rubbed his hands and stared at the fire without saying a word.

"It's better for us to cooperate with Lu Shi now, fight our way out of the encirclement, and promise not to entangle with Lu Shi in the future, I think Lu Shi will agree." The previous words are what Shang Jiong has always insisted on, but the latter words faintly contain accusations against Li Zicheng's past actions.

Li Zicheng frowned, he was accused by Shang Jiong of his past mistakes, if it was a few days ago, Li Zicheng would have cut him immediately, but now he is stronger than others, and only this surviving Shang Jiong can stabilize the army's heart, if he really cuts him, then the little capital he has left will fall apart in an instant.

Zhang Ding stood up and stood on Li Zicheng's side: "Old immortal, I don't agree with this, Lu Shi, who we offended in the past, was too ruthless, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to send troops to attack us, this move is basically to put us to death and then quickly, how can he cooperate with us?" ”

This is indeed the case, with what he did and so on, he was really offended by Lu Shi too ruthlessly, this time Lu Shi's performance is definitely as Zhang Ding said, that is, he wants to settle old accounts with himself, until he is equal to death, although there are current variables, but looking at Lu Shi's vigilance against himself, that kind of mind has not changed.

"Even if according to what the old immortal said, Lu Shi agreed that we would work together to break out of the encirclement, but with our men and horses and materials now, how can we survive in this troubled world?" This is the real situation here, this time the old foundation is gone, and if you want to develop it again, it is really bound to reach the sky.

"Especially, even if we develop, looking at the momentum of Lu Shi, how can we be at ease in Shaanxi? If we want to avoid him, we will end up with no way to avoid him, and then, what will we do? ”

"This is the key, born in a small Woniu Mountain, he has come to this day step by step, and the city gate declaration declares Lu Shi's ambition, how can he be willing to be in a corner? Shaanxi, just the beginning of his start, not more, as long as he is given two or three years to let him develop, he will definitely be able to sweep the world with a million lions, at that time, where do we avoid? Li Zicheng frowned and helped Zhang Dingdao.

"That's what Daddy said." Zhang Ding agrees with the judgment of his godfather Li Zicheng, and the same is true, once Lu Shi gains power in the future, it will be even more effortless to exterminate himself, and his fate can only be worse.

"We might as well take advantage of Lu Shi's mistake this time and fall into the siege of the official army. , it was difficult to escape the opportunity to be born, and helped the official army kill Lu Shi, firstly, to solve the huge hidden danger for the official army, and secondly, to solve the hidden danger for us in the future. Zhang Ding gritted his teeth and said, and finally smashed his fist on his thigh, "No matter what happens in the future, whether we can develop or not, is to solve the biggest threat to Lu Shi, at least, in the future, we can struggle to survive." ”

This is the fundamental, this is the theme, with Lu Shi's hatred for himself, sooner or later he will destroy himself and wait for the future, solving the great enemy of Lu Shi is the top priority, and it is the hope of survival in the future, once this opportunity is missed, then everyone has absolutely no future, including the chance to survive.

Having said this, Mrs. Gao and Shang Jiong stopped talking, in fact, there was really nothing to say, things were all done by Li Zicheng at the beginning, and Lu Shi, in fact, there was really no room for maneuver.

"Then all that's left is how to move the officers and soldiers and accept us." Seeing that Mrs. Gao and Shang Jiong no longer objected to their surrender of the official army, Li Zicheng threw the wooden stick in his hand into the fire, raised his head and said decisively.

"Since this is the case, we have to contact Lord Hong Chengchou as quickly as possible tonight, or it will be too late until Lu Shi relaxes his spirits." Zhang Ding suggested again, now, Li Zicheng saw Zhang Ding's decisiveness and cleverness, and also saw the potential of the child soldiers, so that he once again gave birth to the hope of a comeback, and the original gloomy and decadent expression became fresh and refreshing again at this time. Look at the wooden stick that I threw in the fire, it made the fire brighter, and made the big tent feel warm for no reason.

"Godfather, I'll do this thing." After pondering for a while, Zhang Ding stood up and took the initiative to ask.

Li Zicheng likes it even more, this is his hope, he is decisive and dares to take responsibility, this is his future dependence.

"But what did we rely on to convince Hong Chengchou to accept us?" Shang Jiong raised this question with concern.

Yes, Hong Chengchou was reused by the imperial court with his idea of encirclement and suppression, and now, when he has entered the end of the road, he can't get a little capital to bargain with Hong Chengchou, not to mention bargaining, even if he impresses Hong Chengchou and makes him accept his surrender, it seems that there is no capital left.

"We have capital, and we have great capital to impress Hong Chengchou to accept us." Li Zicheng stood up confidently, lifted the cloak on his body, and once again regained his original killing courage, which made the generals who were originally disillusioned see once again the king they had worshipped, and there was hope for the future.

"Our capital is now on the thief of the Lu Shi." Looking at Shang Jiong, who was a little confused, and looking at the generals of some child soldiers who were also puzzled, Li Zicheng said loudly: "It is unrealistic to expect us to take down Lu Shi as a vote, Lu Shi's toughness can't even let us protect ourselves." ”

This is a thing, Li Zicheng at this time is quite calm, and he has not been as stupid and blind as he was when he was defeated and withdrew from Beijing in later generations.

"But what do the officers and soldiers need most at this time? Not yet time? As long as Lu Shigou is given three days to breathe, not two days, then reinforcements from all over Shaanxi will come in a steady stream, at that time, in the face of Lu Shi's subordinates who are 100 times more powerful, the official army can only be a chicken and a dog, so on the top, the official army must win quickly. ”

Shang Jiong couldn't help but nod slightly.

"And the officers and soldiers want to win quickly, but they don't dare to go down the mountain to attack, so on the top, at this time, it depends on our performance."

Looking at the unknown subordinates, Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and said: "At this time, we will unite with the official army, we took out the blood book, and took the initiative to attack Lu Shi. ”

Zhang Ding thought for a while, clapped his hands, and snorted, "What King Da Chuang said is that if that's the case, then we will have a big vote." Why worry about Hong Chengchou, that old dog didn't happily agree to us to recruit peace? ”

"It's urgent, Xiao Dingzi, you can do it now." Li Zicheng ordered anxiously, and after thinking about it, he turned to Mrs. Gao and said, "How much silver do we have?" "This fierce battle was almost in Li Zicheng's territory, so the silver coins that were plundered in Shanxi and later collected in Ji County were not lost, and now they are all in the hands of Mrs. Gao.

"I didn't count, there are still a few million taels." Mrs. Gao replied.

"Take out one million and give it to Zhang Ding, this is considered a meeting." Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and said: "I don't believe it, with a million silver, plus a Lu Shiren's head, I can't gain Hong Chengchou's trust, as long as I give me half a year, I can make a comeback." ”

Li Zicheng said confidently.
