Du Ruhu is not a fool, but he is definitely a madman.

As early as the beginning of the defense of Ji County, Guangwu entered with the garrison of the Chuang army, and the support of the merchants who gathered in Ji County from all over the country for the Chuang army almost shattered the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and realize his ambitions, how could such a result make him willing?

Because of these things, Du Ruhu hated the army even more, and at the same time, he also understood that the Jixian County Guard Battle, the Chuang Army finally won, not only the people of Hecheng were full of confidence in the victory, but even Du Ruhu firmly believed in it.

However, it was the firm belief in the victory of the army to defend the city, which made the powerful squires led by Du Ruhu even more worried. There is no other reason, after this battle, the occupation of Ji County by the Chuang army has become a fact, and it can no longer be changed. Although the policy implemented by the Second Invasion Army seems to be mild, it is actually extremely vicious, especially when it comes to treating them from all over the world. Usually, they are all in the local area to cover the sky, and once the army masters the place, not only have strong combat effectiveness, but the most important thing is that they fully support the mud legs, which simply makes them unable to live, but once they resist, they will be unceremoniously exterminated by the army, these lessons are in front of them, how not to make them frightened?

It is necessary to learn from Zhang Yuan, use the strength of his own and others, get the support of the imperial court, stop the thieves on the west bank of the Yellow River, and keep everything he originally had.

However, the rogue besieged the city, and the army did not intervene, then, he would definitely break the city, and the army would intervene, and the city would be defended, but he would also lose everything in the past, which was really the eve of death, and the death after that, and the death in the hands of the rogues, it was an immediate thing, and it was only a while before he died in the hands of the thieves, because, let himself and so on give up everything originally, it would be more painful than death, this is really a dilemma, unimaginable.

As soon as the war started, the bloody battles were repeated, and the thieves were brave, at this time, how could you not let yourself be frightened? It seems that his good life is completely over.

But the turning point still appeared, just when the bloody battle was stalemate, Du Ruhu met with a Taoist priest, a Taoist priest from the Liukou camp.

"Jixian is trapped in us, I am just a passerby, and if I fall into a thief, I will completely lose everything, I think Du Yingying should understand this truth." The Taoist priest said calmly.

At that time, Du Ruhu was sitting on his tiger skin chair, one leg on the arm of the chair, one arm on the other, squinting at the Taoist priest who was talking.

The current Taoist priest is very unpopular, the reason is that the Taizu Emperor Zhu Chongba, who made him the emperor as a monk? What's more, at the time of Meng Yuan, Wudang, led by Taoism, turned out to be a vassal of Meng Yuan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a lackey, so now, Taoist priests can only be the so-called military advisors of those bandits and rogues, such as the one in front of him.

"As long as Du Yingying judges the situation and adapts to the situation, then it will be easy to keep your glory and wealth, isn't it?"

This Taoist priest is Gao Yingxiang's most behind-the-scenes adviser, this Zhang Yuanji, when Gao Yingxiang was killed, was also accompanied by a dashing manner, at this time, he was even more anxious for Gao Yingxiang, the embarrassing situation of the king of Da Chuang, so he took the initiative to ask for help and did his best to break the deadlock.

Yes, it was a stalemate, at the beginning, in order to avoid the blow of the Qinwang official army that they thought was about to return, the Liukou army chose to go west to return to the old birthplace of Shaanxi, and gathered thirty-six poles to kill the base of Lu Shi, and once they came to settle down, they coveted the rich population, but everything was unexpected, a seemingly simple Ji County, and a warehouse fortress, so that the 300,000 Liukou army stopped, the original plan, or the idea of this Taoist priest Zhang Yuanji behind the scenes, according to normal, siege on both sides, The central strategy of breaking through is actually achievable. But when I got here, it became slim, for no other reason, that is, the firearms of the thief Lu Shi were too sharp, which not only caused heavy casualties to the brothers who besieged the city, but also made Li Zicheng, the general in charge of the central breakthrough, suffer from the enemy on his back and couldn't advance half a step at all, at this time, what should I do?

Dilemma, dilemma, which made Gao Yingxiang, who was calm and composed, furious in front of this group of important ministers, at this time, the Taoist priest came up with the idea again, and when the war was in full swing in front of Ji County, he took the initiative to ask Ying, transferred to the back of Ji County, entered the city alone, and lobbied Du Ruhu.

He understands people, and at the same time, he also hits the nail on the head, and it is his foresight that makes Du Ruhu, who is also unable to advance or retreat, receive him.

Although Du Ruhu showed disdain for this enemy lobbyist, in his heart, he was deeply impressed by this Taoist priest's words, and when he looked at this immortal family again, he was already calm and relaxed, and the fairy wind was bone.

At the beginning, the idea was made by himself, but the war was unfavorable, and he had to clean up the matter of opening his ass, otherwise, he would have no status influence in front of Gao Yingxiang, fortunately, Daoist Zhang is indeed not a mortal, in this intricacies, he keenly saw the cracks and flaws in the defenders of Ji County, so when the war was stalemate, he took the initiative to ask for help and secretly sneaked into Ji County to lobby Du Ruhu.

"What's in it for me?" Du Ruhu was too lazy to listen to the Taoist priest's long theory, although he agreed with the Taoist priest's words very much, but, everything is based on interests, there is no need to talk about it at this critical juncture, since everyone has the same thoughts, then open the skylight and say bright words.

When Daoist Zhang heard this, he was not angry but happy, "Since everyone is a person who understands, then I will take the king of Dachuang to promise Du Yingying, once I get the help of Du Hero and break this Ji County, my army of Dachuang Wang will definitely not commit any crime against the gentry and wealthy families, as long as I solve the worries of crossing the river, I will go straight to Shaanxi." ”

This condition is very simple and straightforward, but the more simple and direct the condition, the easier it is to be convincing. So, in line with the original intention of not taking advantage of the bastard, he casually mentioned: "What else?" ”

Zhang Daoshi heard this, but he smiled secretly, for the original plan to take advantage of the chaos to kill Shaanxi and rob Lu Shi's foundation, through this battle, Zhang Daoshi has already understood in his heart that it is a fool's dream, but, in the dark heart of a mountain that cannot tolerate two tigers, rushed through Lu Shi's base, and plundered to strengthen himself, and at the same time, in leaving a disaster for Lu Shi to drag him back, so that his rogue army can gain time to recuperate and digest the gains, then, Du Ruhu has a use value, so, Daoist Zhang Shi Shiran paced and said: "Actually, Du Yingying's thoughts, poor Taoist priests can guess one or two, but they are just far-sighted, seeing this troubled world, and wanting to achieve something in this troubled world." A little sycophant passed, which immediately moved Du Ruhu, sat up straight with his disrespectful body, and looked at Daoist Zhang who was pacing Shi Shiran.

It is a very happy thing to guess the minds of others, especially if you guess the minds of ambitious people, even more so, not to mention, for a person whose eyes are only three inches, but whose ambition is higher than the sky, it is simpler to use them, but it is just a piece of meat and bones.

"King Dachuang said, Du Yingying is dedicated to Sangzi, and he will learn the story of Zhang Yuan in the future, do his best for the court and the people, and achieve a great cause, as an ally, of course, he must make a contribution."

Du Ruhu's eyes lit up, which was an unexpected joy.

At the corner of Daoist Zhang's eyes, he knew that he had said what he was thinking, so he smiled indifferently and said: "Ji County is rich, Shanxi is rare, and there are even more merchants from all over the country who are stranded here, as well as the goods left by merchants from all over the country, once the city is broken, it will become the capture of our righteous army, and King Dachuang promised that in the future, half of what my righteous army has gained will be left as capital to support the development of allies, I don't know what Du Yingying thinks?" ”

Ji County is rich, everyone knows, it is the business tax earned in January, even according to the share of the thief Lu Shi, there are more than ten or two hundred thousand, these silver money has not been handed over to the treasury by the county, and he is not so stupid, now, almost all of them exist in the county government treasury, as the capital of the future, and there are more people who have become rich because of the ferry, the gentry who are greatly stained, and the merchants who are so rich that they are rich, not to mention the stranded merchants, the goods that exist here, these alone have made people absolutely red-eyed, but, Daoist Zhang knows, As long as Ji County is not broken, as long as Lu Shi's army is not defeated, then for himself and others, it is a flower in the moon mirror in the water, and breaking the city is fundamental.

If you want to break the city, from the current point of view, you can only rely on this reckless Du Ruhu who is above the top, and only when you break the city can you have everything, and be generous to others, why not?

As soon as these words came out, even Du Ruhu, who had a huge amount of money, couldn't sit still anymore, suddenly got up, stared at Daoist Zhang with his eyes, and asked through gritted teeth: "What Daochang Zhang said is true?" Did the King of the Great Storm really promise that? ”

This is indeed unexpected good news, Du Ruhu knows his own strength, as a strong party is okay, but, really like Zhang Yuan is making money every day, it is unrealistic, to support a strong army with his own financial resources, that is a fool's dream, but if you don't get half of the county's wealth through your own hands, then, your military spending for more than ten years will be settled, at that time, you will be like Zhang Yuan, you will really achieve your goal.

Daoist Zhang smiled slightly, nodded lightly and said, "The eldest husband is full of words, not to mention my family's big king?" ”

"Huh-" Du Ruhu stared at Daoist Zhang's eyes for a long time, and it took a long time to breathe a sigh, slowly stabilized his excited mind, sat down slowly, and then pointed to his left hand side, "Immortal Chief, please sit down, let's talk slowly." ”

Daoist Zhang smiled slightly, Shi Shiran sat down, shook off his robe, covered his legs, and then said to Du Ruhu, who was already enthusiastic: "However, if you want to break the city, it is not easy, after all, Lu Shi's thieves are good at agitating the people's hearts, and there are more than six thousand (they also count the masters of the base area as the elite of the army, it is true, the masters who have been trained by the militia in the base area, for them, they are definitely elite soldiers) elite soldiers, so here, we should also pay attention to a strategic approach."

"I don't know what good strategies the Immortal Chief has to teach me?" Du Ruhu leaned over with a respectful face and asked.
