Chapter 352: Defection

Fierce as a tiger questioned Li Zhi with Yang Sichang's order, and Li Zhi used the holy decree of the Son of Heaven to suppress fierce as a tiger. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSpeaking of which, it is still Li Zhi's holy decree that is more effective. Yang Sichang's verbal order to stop the killing of the thieves was really a bit out of place.

In fact, these generals brought by Fierce as Tiger were not fierce as tiger's subordinates, but Yang Sichang was temporarily transferred to the fierce tiger army from the commanders of the general soldiers. Fierce as a tiger is loyal to Yang Sichang, but these generals are not.

These generals have been in Shu for half a year, and they have been beaten by Zhang Xianzhong and suffered a lot of defeats, and there is no way to take the sacrifice thief. And now as soon as Li Zhi's army came, the situation was immediately reversed - Li Zhi beat Zhang Xianzhong and fled in embarrassment, and it was expected that it would be a matter of the past few months to take down the Xian thief.

Some generals with bad personalities, like Yang Sichang, were worried that Li Zhi's good fighting would reflect their incompetence, and a look of dissatisfaction appeared on their faces.

But some generals with upright personalities are ready to move. Li Zhi is about to make a great contribution, if he can follow Li Zhi to make contributions, how much can he share some of his military exploits? When the time comes, some of the exploits will be divided, and the previous defeats and mistakes will be written off. If Li Zhi is generous and says a few more words for himself, he will be considered meritorious.

Many generals pondered there how to keep up with Li Zhi's fast boat.

Fierce as a tiger didn't notice the emotions of his generals, and asked with a grin: "Long Wenguang and Cao Bianjiao's soldiers and horses are now fighting with Lord Taibao?" ”

Li Zhi nodded and said: "Governor Long and General Cao are both loyal ministers of the country, and they are eager to kill the enemy, so our three armies are combined into one army and hunt down Zhang Xianzhong here." At present, Governor Long and General Cao are both under the dispatch of their own officials. ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, all the generals were shocked. Cao Bianjiao is forgotten, he is a general soldier, and his official position is lower than Li Zhi, and it is reasonable to listen to Li Zhi's moderation. But Long Wenguang is the governor of Sichuan, and the Ming Dynasty is a military force, so it stands to reason that Li Zhi should listen to Long Wenguang.

However, in front of Li Zhi, the world's strong soldiers, and seeing that he would have combat achievements if he followed Li Zhigan, this Long Wenguang actually listened to Li Zhi.

The generals were stunned and looked at each other for a while.

Li Zhi said lightly: "Governor Long and General Cao are both loyal ministers who serve the country, so they know the priorities. They kill the enemy together with the Chief, and if they have any exploits, the Commander will naturally share them with them. Now that the country is in danger and flames, advancing and retreating together is the posture that our Ming civil and military officials should have. ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Meng Ruhu had some knotted tongues and was speechless. Li Zhi uses the overall situation of the country to suppress the fierce as a tiger, and his eloquence is not good, so he really can't tell the difference. Yang Sichang's verbal order to privately ask the generals to stop suppressing the thieves is indeed a little unreasonable when the Daming Society is in danger today.

Fierce as a tiger was stunned there, but he saw the general Liu Shijie come out, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The last general, Liu Shijie, is also willing to follow the example of the chief soldier Cao Bianjiao and fight with the Taibao!" The last general commanded 2,000 horse troops, willing to listen to the dispatch of Lord Taibao! ”

Hearing Liu Shijie's words, all the generals in the tent were shocked and looked at each other in surprise.

Someone is starting to defect!

This Liu Shijie was originally Zuo Liangyu's subordinate and was known for his bravery. But he has always been upright, and he is a little out of temper with the arrogant and domineering Zuo Liangyu. A few months ago, Yang Sichang asked Zuo Liangyu to divide his troops to Mengruhu, and Zuo Liangyu assigned Liu Shijie's 2,000 cavalry to Mengruhu. Liu Shijie is a straight-tempered person who is bent on killing thieves and making meritorious contributions. This month, he heard Yang Sichang's order to stop suppressing thieves on the grounds of cold weather, and he was dissatisfied. At this time, seeing that Li Zhibing was strong and strong, and he was about to make a meritorious service, Liu Shijie jumped out and took the initiative to ask to be under Li Zhi's command.

Following Li Zhi, one can repay the emperor's favor, and the other can build war exploits, Liu Shijie can't help but make a desperate bet.

When Meng Ruhu heard Liu Shijie's words, his face darkened, and he asked coldly: "Liu Shijie, the superintendent ordered you to obey the president's orders, don't you listen to the dispatch?" ”

Before Liu Shijie could answer, Zhao Guangyuan, the chief soldier of Shaoyang, who was sitting at the top, stood up and said: "Xiaguan Zhao Guangyuan has two thousand horse soldiers and two thousand foot soldiers under his command, and he is also willing to kill thieves with Lord Taibao!" Listen to the Taibao. ”

Hearing Zhao Guangyuan's statement, the hearts of the generals in the camp were shocked again.

Zhao Guangyuan has long been tired of obeying orders like a tiger. This fierce warrior was originally deprived of his official position and sent to the border because of his crimes. As a result, Yang Sichang saw that he fought bravely, brought him in, and restored his official position. Fierce as a tiger was therefore loyal to Yang Sichang, and Yang Sichang saw that he was loyal and available, so he simply made him the "president" who was in charge of the front line.

But this is as fierce as a tiger, a general soldier who has just resumed his official position, what qualifications does he have to be the superior of other general soldiers? When the war started, this fierce tiger had no strategy to defeat the enemy, and the situation became worse and worse after half a year of fighting. Other general soldiers, such as Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong, and Cao Bianjiao, who were old and had high official positions, did not listen to the command of the fierce tiger. Zhao Guangyuan was just waiting for an opportunity, and completely ignored the "president" who was as fierce as a tiger.

Now in this Li Zhi's Chinese army tent, the opportunity has come.

Although Zhao Guangyuan was also a defeated general under Zhang Xianzhong, he didn't want Li Zhi to kill all sides as soon as he came up, showing that he and other generals were incompetent. But now the situation is stronger than people, Li Zhi's strong army is here, it is estimated that Zhang Xianzhong will be destroyed in less than a month, and it is obviously asking for hardship to fight against Li Zhi.

Moreover, Long Wenguang, Cao Bianjiao and Liu Shijie all took the initiative to join Li Zhi, Li Zhi's soldiers and horses were stronger, and Yang Sichang's interest alliance to resist Li Zhi had been dismantled. At this time, it is obviously unwise to follow Yang Sichang.

The Son of Heaven has long distrusted Yang Sichang, such as today's son trusts Li Zhi, and pins his hopes for the destruction of Zhang Xianzhong on Li Zhi. Instead of obeying the orders of the fierce tiger, it is better to obey the orders of the prince Li Zhi, who has the favor of the Son of Heaven inside and the strong soldiers and horses outside. If you surrender to Li Zhi as soon as possible, you may be able to wash away the stigma of the defeated army.

When Meng Ruhu heard Zhao Guangyuan's words, his face turned blue. He stood up angrily and said loudly: "Zhao Guangyuan, you don't listen to the dispatch and follow Li Zhi, aren't you afraid that the superintendent will cut off your salary?" ”

Li Zhi saw that he was as fierce as a tiger and threatened Zhao Guangyuan with a cut of food and salary, laughed a few times, and said: "Even if the superintendent does not give food, Long Wenguang, the governor of Sichuan, can still provide grain and grass for the generals, and General Zhao does not have to worry." ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Zhao Guangyuan let go of his heart, and he was determined to do it with Li Zhi.

Zhao Guangyuan arched his hand and said: "The lower officials are willing to listen to the Taibao lord's drive and dispatch, charge in front of the formation, and do their best." ”

Li Zhi laughed and said loudly: "The two generals, Liu Shijie and Zhao Guangyuan, are both loyal ministers who are dedicated to serving the country. Since the two of them are willing to fight side by side with this official and capture Zhang Xianzhong in the coming day, I will definitely make contributions to the second general. ”

Hearing that Li Zhi accepted the two generals, and bluntly said that he would make contributions to the second general, the other generals glanced at each other, and their eyes were a little green. (To be continued.) )
