[209] Li Luohuo and 2

Niu Jinxing said: "The minister listened to the words of Ge Liyan, although Ge Liyan was short-tempered, but his heart was deep, if he was not drunk, he would never have said such words. ”

Li Zicheng groaned; "Zong Min~ What do you think?"

Liu Zongmin waved his palm and chopped it and said, "Kill him!" ”

Li Zicheng said: "What does Brother Yuan think?" ”

Yuan Zongdi said: "He Yilong will be a scourge sooner or later. ”

Li Zicheng said: "In that case, I will invite him to drink tonight." Brother Yuan will invite him for me. Yuan Zongdi received the order and went out of the big tent with Niu Jinxing

That night, Li Zicheng set up a Hongmen banquet and invited He Yilong, saying that he apologized to He Yilong for Hao Shaoqi, and discussed important matters with He Yilong and Luo Rucai.

He Yilong arrived first, and he entered Li Zicheng's initiative mansion with a big grin. Yuan Zongdi was already there to greet him. He Yilong and the others followed him through several courtyards and came to a courtyard. The soldiers were invited to the east and west wings to drink. He Yilong was accompanied by Yuan Zongdi into the north room. Li Zicheng greeted him with a smile on his face, and after a few words of greeting, he invited him to take a seat. There are three tables in the north room. Li Zicheng sat down behind a table in the middle. He Yilong and Yuan Zongdi sat down behind the other two tables. When He Yilong sat down, he subconsciously glanced at the whole room and found that there were two candles lit on each table, which could illuminate the dishes clearly; There were some soldiers standing against the wall, and he couldn't see their faces clearly.

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, let Hao Shaoqi pour you wine to make amends!" ”

Saying that, Hao Shaoqi came to He Yilong with a bowl full of wine, and said in a low voice: "Leader He, Hao Shaoqi will not compensate you!" You have a lot of it, and after drinking this bowl of wine, last night's incident should not have happened

He Yilong glanced at Hao Shaoqi contemptuously, took the wine bowl and drank it all, "I'll give King Chuang's face, and don't worry about your little flag-bearer!" The soldiers began to serve food and pour wine. He Yilong thought to himself, Lao Cao Cao is still comfortable, not only are there people singing and dancing, but even serving food and pouring wine are all the affairs of the girls, and they come over with a fragrance on their bodies, which makes people drunk before drinking. Just thinking about it, he looked at the door, but he didn't see Luo Rucai coming in, so he asked: "King Chuang, didn't you say that there is something important to discuss with my Lao He and Lao Cao Cao?" ”

Li Zicheng said coldly at this time: "Haven't you already discussed it with Lao Luo?" ”

He Yilong was stunned and said in surprise: "When will I discuss it with Lao Cao Cao?" ”

At this time, Niu Jinxing also said coldly: "Did you say yesterday that you would take the team away and set up another mountain~"

"It's said~~ That's drunken talk~" He Yilong began to be wary

"Spit out the truth after drinking~" Niu Jinxing coughed, and the two strong men immediately stepped forward and cut He Yilong's hands back

Li Zicheng had already raised his glass, put the cup on the table heavily, and shouted: "He Yilong, you colluded with Luo Rucai to secretly communicate with Zuo Liangyu, you ~~~~"

Li Zicheng didn't finish his sentence, only heard He Yilong shout violently, his elbows pushed back, and with another push with both hands, the big man on the right had fallen to the ground, and the big man on the left also stumbled back to five or six feet away. At this time, I saw He Yilong take a sharp breath, swing his head, and a gust of wind blew out of his mouth, and six candles near and far were blown out, and the room was suddenly dark. Several of his own soldiers rushed towards the place where He Yilong was standing, and then several people let out a cry of pain, apparently suffering a heavy blow in the dark.

Yuan Zongdi, who was sitting behind the table opposite He Yilong, immediately thought of Li Zicheng's safety the moment the candle was blown out. He quickly pulled out the knife from his waist and shouted, "King Chuang!" As soon as the words fell, he was stabbed in the chest with a sharp weapon, but fortunately he was wearing cotton armor and was not seriously injured. He swung his knife and slashed forward, left and right, but didn't hit anything. Fearing another attack, he didn't dare to make a sound, and crouched down and walked lightly towards the table in the middle.

Li Zicheng was also very surprised, and suddenly recalled in his mind what he said when he was in Runing: "Although Brother He's eyes are not good, his kung fu is good...... Especially in the dark night when you can't see your fingers, everyone else has become blind, and with his ears, nose, and years of experience, he will definitely be able to beat you up! Trying to keep his composure, he left his seat and slowly stepped back, only to hear something hit the chair he had just left.

At this time, the soldiers who were guarding outside saw that the candlelight in the house was suddenly extinguished, and heard the screams and fights, and tried to push the door in, but the door was latched from the inside. The soldiers in the house tried to pull the latch open, but two people were stabbed down as soon as they reached the door.

The people in the room gradually adjusted to the darkness, and could faintly distinguish the tables, chairs and figures, but they still couldn't determine He Yilong's location, so they all nervously pointed the tip of their knives forward, in case they were attacked. Even so, there are people who are inexplicably knocked down.

Finally, the man outside the house smashed open the door with a log the thickness of a bowl. At the moment when people were about to rush in, He Yilong cut several people in a row and jumped out of the courtyard. Immediately the people gathered around. He Yilong had already recaptured his sword in the darkroom. At this point, he guessed that his entourage must have been subdued, so he held his sword in one hand and the blade drawn from his boot in the other, and resolved to deal with the swarming soldiers alone. His martial arts were excellent, and he quickly stabbed several people who rushed to his side. The others surrounded him, but they didn't dare to approach him easily. He Yilong was not familiar with the path in the house, and he couldn't rush out. The two sides held each other like this, and from time to time someone was stabbed or kicked to the ground by He Yilong. Li Zicheng had already walked out of the house. Under the light of the starry sky and the torches held by the soldiers, he could roughly see He Yilong's moves, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"The surname Li~~ You are a Hongmen banquet!" He Yilong reached out to touch the knife, and then remembered that the waist knife was handed over to the intruder at the door when he entered the tent, and it was only out of a habit that he had cultivated for many years, and he stuffed a short knife in his boots in addition to his saber. He Yilong laughed loudly and said: "Li Zicheng, do you think you can kill me if you find a dozen cowards, Lao Tzu~~~" He Yilong's voice did not fall, and he suddenly felt lightheaded, he stumbled and did not steady, and knelt down on one knee in front of Li Zicheng, "You~~ Meng's sweat medicine!" Li Zicheng in front of He Yilong began to blur

"Such good martial arts are rare in the camp. It's a pity, it's a pity! Niu Jinxing shook his head regretfully

"Kill~" Li Zicheng squeezed out a word from between his teeth

Puff puff~~ The soldiers slashed their swords and killed He Yilong

"Come out~" Liu Zongmin shouted, and at this time, three people came out of the backyard, they were He Jin, Liu Xiyao and Lin Chengcheng.

Li Zicheng said: "He Yilong and Luo Rucai fornicated with Zuo Liangyu, and now they have been subdued, I know that the three of you have no disagreement with the camp, and they are all brave and good at fighting, and they will be able to work with us and others with one heart and one mind, hang the people and fight crimes, and create a great cause together." Yes and no? ”

He Jin, Liu Xiyao and Lin Yangcheng glanced at each other under Li Zicheng's majestic gaze, and He Jin said: "Ge Liyan colluded with the government and plotted against the water, and he was innocent. The three of us are willing to follow King Chuang, hang the people for their crimes, and relieve the people from hanging. ”

"Good brother! Hahaha~~" Li Zicheng stepped forward and hugged the shoulders of the three of them

Liu Zongmin said: "Let's just stop doing it and kill Cao Cao now." ”

Li Shuangxi applauded: "Okay." I'll go to Zhongxiang and kill him by surprise! ”

Yuan Zongdi said: "Wait for you to go tomorrow, I'm afraid Cao Cao has already reversed!" ”

Niu Jinxing said: "If He Yilong doesn't go home tonight, someone will go to Zhongxiang tomorrow to report to Luo Rucai." Why don't I go to Zhongxiang tonight, shout to open the city gate, and fight Cao Cao. ”

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "This plan is very good, it is better for me to go out in person, you may not be able to earn the city gate if you go." Come on, prepare the horses. ”

Liu Zongmin said: "How many people do you bring?" Bring the pro-military camp of the Central Power? ”

Li Zicheng smiled: "It's not a war, what are you doing with so many people?" You, Hao Shaoqi, Gao Yigong, Li Shuangxi, and a few more personal soldiers, twenty people, and forty fast horses, just do it. Without further ado, let's go. ”

Niu Jinxing said: "In order to prevent accidents, please General Yuan lead the Zhongquan pro-army to set off later to respond." ”

Li Zicheng said: "It's okay." ”

That night, Li Zicheng led twenty light horses, covered with stars and dew, and went straight to Zhongxiang. Xiangyang is nearly 300 miles away from Zhongxiang, until the next day closes in the morning to Zhongxiang City. The defenders saw the dust rising from the city, and they were ready to fight.

Hao Shaoqi shouted: "King Xinshun has arrived!" Don't hurry up and open the gates. ”

When the defenders saw that it was Li Zicheng, they hurriedly welcomed them into the city. Li Zicheng did not dismount and went straight to the Mansion of the Heavenly King. The palace was heavily guarded, and when Li Zicheng arrived, he hurriedly welcomed him into the palace.

Li Zicheng said: "Has the general gotten up?" I have something important to discuss with him. ”

The guard said, "The general hasn't gotten up yet. The small one will go immediately and please. ”

Li Zicheng said: "No need. I'll go and see him, Lao Luo must have found some kind of Peugeot beauty newly, and he has been busy all night, right? Lead the way. ”

Li Zicheng has always been commensurate with Luo Rucai's brothers, very affectionate, the guards do not have him, leading the way diligently, to the bedroom door, Liu Zongmin and others have pulled out their knives, the guards were stunned, Li Zicheng made a look, Hao Shaoqi choked the guards' necks, Gao Yigong and Li Shuangxi gently pushed the door open, only to hear the snoring in the house, Li Zicheng calmly walked into the house, waved his hand, Li Shuangxi rushed into the house, opened the bed curtain, saw that Luo Rucai was still holding a woman and did not wake up, raised the knife, brushed a few knives, the two heads were in different places, even Li Shuangxi's face, His body was also splattered with blood.

Li Shuangxi carried Luo Rucai's head and followed Li Zicheng out of the bedroom. The people of Luofu heard that King Xinshun had arrived, and they all came to greet him. Liu Zongmin raised his knife and said sharply: "Luo Rucai has fornicated with the official army and has been killed, you have to kneel to the side for me." ”

Li Shuangxi wiped his face, turned his face full of blood, raised Luo Rucai's head, and shouted: "Whoever wants to be disobedient will look like this!" The people of Luofu fell to their knees.

Li Zicheng asked Li Shuangxi to stay and guard Luofu, and explained three things: first, pick a good coffin and pretend to bury Luo Rucai; 2. Protect Luo Rucai's family. The male and female servants and personal soldiers of the palace are not allowed to be harmed as long as they do not resist; Rape and molestion of women are never tolerated; 3. All property in the house shall not be touched. If a soldier violates discipline, he will be beheaded immediately.

At this point, Luo Rucai's 200,000 Cao soldiers and the three battalions of the fifth battalion of the revolutionary left were all annexed by Li Zicheng. But things were not all smooth sailing, Luo Rucai's subordinates were very dissatisfied with Li Zicheng's killing of their own boss, Li Zicheng coerced and lured, coerced with a large army, and it took nearly a month to calm their restlessness.

Another famous leader of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution returned to Ma Shouying. When Li Zicheng killed He Yilong and Luo Rucai, he was leading his troops to march to Lizhou (now Lixian County, Hunan). Li Zicheng awarded him the title of "Yongfu Battalion Heroic General" and awarded him a gold seal of forty-eight taels. Ma Shouying should refuse, intending to maintain his relative independence. Li Zicheng transferred him several times to lead his troops back to Xiangyang, but Ma Shouying did not want to follow the mistakes of Luo and He, so he pulled the team to the Songzi area south of the Yangtze River, and maintained an attitude of leaving Li Zicheng.

On the night after Luo Rucai was killed, a person secretly left Zhong Xiang, he looked in the direction of Xiangyang, and cursed fiercely: "Li Duyan, wait, I want You Xuanqi to swear that you must die a hundred times worse than Luo Shuai!" ”
