"Grandma, a bear, blind your dog's eyes! Don't you look at who Lao Tzu is? Cao Wenzhao scolded and scolded to break out.

Feng Ju hurriedly dissuaded Cao Wenzhao: "Master Cao, this is your own military camp, don't be reckless." Let me ask about the situation first. ”

Cao Wenzhao took a step back at this time, his face full of displeasure.

"Why don't you let us out?" Feng Ju calmly asked the soldiers guarding the door.

"There is a plague epidemic on the street, and for the safety of General Cao, General He specially explained that General Cao cannot be allowed to go out."

Feng Ju asked again: "Why is there an epidemic of plague, we haven't heard of it when we left Ningzhou?" ”

"Because there was no food, there were people starving to death in every family, and there was no time to bury them, so there was a plague."

Feng Ju asked again: "Is there a shortage of food in the city?" ”

"Yes, we can't eat enough every day, so we have to go to the people's homes to borrow it."

"Borrow? I think it's a bright robbery! When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he said angrily.

Feng Ju persuaded Cao Wenzhao again: "Master Cao, General Soldier He cares about us, and we have to receive this affection." Let's go back to the house first! ”

"I'll let you go for now!" Cao Wenzhao pointed at the soldier with his finger before turning around.

The other three also followed Cao Wenzhao and turned around and returned to the courtyard.

"This He madman, what the hell is he going to do and lock Lao Tzu here!" Under the big banyan tree, Cao Wenzhao is still nagging.

Everyone sat down under the tree, and Ping An suggested: "Master Cao, Liu Chenggong came before us." Why don't you ask him what happened. ”

Feng Ju objected: "No. Liu Chenggong was seriously injured, he was carried in, he couldn't even get out of bed, how could he know what was going on here? ”

Cao Bianjiao said anxiously: "What should I do? ”

Feng Ju calmly analyzed: "Respond to all changes with the same." In my opinion, He Renlong will not harm us for the time being, if he wants to harm us, he can make a fuss in the meal. ”

Cao Wenzhao also calmed down, and he agreed with Feng Ju's opinion: "I think so." ”

Ping An ridiculed: "Anyway, we all have injuries, and it's not a bad thing to recuperate here with peace of mind." ”

Cao Wenzhao held a branch in his hand and wrote a few words on the ground, "Does the madman He notice?"

Cao Wenzhao broke the branch in his hand and threw it on the ground, stood up and wiped the handwriting on the ground with his foot and said, "Grandma, a bear!" I don't believe that he can lock me up for ten days and a half months, and I will be here to take care of his grandmother's injuries for a few days. ”

Therefore, Cao Wen Zhao'an stayed in the Hongjia Hall to recuperate with peace of mind, anyway, there was food and drink, and every day there were military doctors to change the dressing, and when he was bored, he would play under the big banyan tree and play the sun.

Five days later, He Renlong finally appeared.

On this day, Cao Wenzhao and a few people were under the big banyan tree, Liu Chenggong was also there, Liu Chenggong's injuries have been carefully cared for by military doctors every day, and he has been able to get up and walk around today. Cao Wenzhao was talking to everyone about his dream of the emperor, and a soldier came to report that He Renlong had arrived.

"Hahaha......" He Renlong laughed loudly as soon as they met, "Brother Cao is really leisurely!" ”

Cao Wenzhao sneered: "Brother He, this is all thanks to you." ”

He Renlong was extremely embarrassed, and he didn't say hello anymore, and said straightforwardly: "Brother Cao, Renlong came this time to discuss important matters. ”

Cao Wenzhao coldly popped out a word: "Speak." ”

He Renlong didn't care about Cao Wenzhao's indifference, he arched his hand and said, "Can you take a step to speak?" ”

"Come to my room." Saying that, Cao Wenzhao was not polite, he went first, and He Renlong followed closely.

The two entered the door, He Renlong casually closed the door, the two sat down, and Cao Wenzhao opened his mouth first: "Brother He, if you have something to say, just say it!" ”

"Ahem!" He Renlong sighed, "It's not for the sake of salary. ”

Cao Wenzhao didn't believe it: "Why, Hong Chengchou hasn't allocated you a salary yet?" ”

He Renlong's eyelids drooped, and he said listlessly: "After you left the city, I still couldn't get the money, so I locked up Deng Xizhao and Zhou Kexiao......"

"What!?" Cao Wenzhao shouted, "You locked them up? ”

He Renlong hurriedly put his hands on his chest, palms facing down, made a posture of repeatedly pressing down with his palms, and reminded softly: "Whisper, whisper." ”

"You detain the imperial court officials without authorization, do you know that this is a capital crime?"

He Renlong said with a sad face: "Of course I know. I'm not looking for you to talk to you! ”

Cao Wenzhao pointed his finger at He Renlong and said, "No wonder you didn't let me enter the city, no wonder you locked me up here and didn't let me out." ”

He Renlong hurriedly explained: "This is all a misunderstanding, how dare I arrest Brother Cao." ”

Cao Wen Zhaoyuan glared: "What is the difference between Lao Tzu and being arrested now?" ”

He Renlong looked bitter: "Brother Cao, junior brother is like this now, don't bury me anymore, I'm not here to ask you for ideas!" ”

Cao Wenzhao still didn't give up: "Okay, you are a congratulatory dragon, lock Lao Tzu here for a few days, so that Hong Chengchou thinks that I am your accomplice, you just let me out now, and I can't get rid of the suspicion of being an accomplice in front of Hong Chengchou." ”

"The younger brother really didn't mean that. When you came back suddenly, I didn't know what to do for a while, but I just invited you here to recuperate for the time being. ”

"Wait? I think you want to keep Lao Tzu here for the rest of your life! Cao Wenzhao's voice raised an octave again.

In a hurry, He Renlong desperately made a small gesture: "Tap, tap." Please also ask Brother Cao to come up with an idea. ”

Cao Wenzhao came back this time to arrest He Renlong for rebellion, and now He Renlong has arrested the prison army and the magistrate, isn't this a good opportunity in heaven? Cao Wenzhao had the idea of the Lahe people and dragons rising together, he rolled his eyes, and said: "For today's plan, the only way to kill these two people is to kill them." ”

"Kill?"

"That's right," Cao Wenzhao's tone softened, "No poison, no husband, no gentleman." ”

"I don't know what to do with the court?"

Cao Wenzhao enlightened him: "Do you think that if you let these two go, they will give you good fruits to eat?" ”

He Renlong bowed his head and said silently, and said for a long time: "This matter is important, let me go back and think about it." Then he got up to take his leave.

Cao Wenzhao called out to him: "Brother He, do you still want to lock me up here?" ”

He Renlong replied: "Brother Cao can come and go freely, and I will remove the bunch of rabbits at the door immediately." ”

He Renlong went back and thought about it for three days before coming to see Cao Wenzhao.

"Brother Cao," He Renlong asked in a low voice, "Killing Deng Xizhao and Zhou Kexiao is not a rebellion?" ”

Cao Wenzhao asked rhetorically: "Is it not enough for you to imprison these two people for the crime of rebellion?" ”

He Renlong asked tentatively, "Brother Cao is willing to rebel with me?" ”

"Grandma, a bear! Today's court is dominated by traitors, and I have been repeatedly attacked by traitors. Deng Xizhao and Zhou Kexiao have been arrested by you, what else can you do if you don't turn back? ”

He Renlong said: "I can't kill Deng Xizhao and Zhou Kexiao, if Brother Cao is willing to come forward, I, He Renlong, will definitely follow." ”

Cao Wenzhao knew that He Renlong was afraid that he would sell him, so he said that he wanted to come out on his own, Cao Wenzhao had already surrendered to Gao Junshan, so he had no worries and readily agreed to He Renlong's request.

On the fourth day of the fourth month of the fourth month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Cao Wen ordered Cao Bianjiao to behead Deng Xizhao, the supervisor of the army, and Zhou Kexiao, the magistrate of Ningzhou, and then opened the city gate with He Renlong to welcome Gao Junshan into the city.

When Cao Wenzhao introduced Gao Jun Mountain, King of Qin, to He Renlong, He Renlong couldn't help but exclaim: "You, aren't you the young general who fought me in Yonghe three years ago?" ”

Gao Junshan smiled: "Exactly." General He is brave and invincible, bravely crowns the three armies, and his martial arts are embarrassing. ”

He Renlong smiled hesitantly: "King Qin is a brave general, and the human dragon is impressed. He really wanted to ask the truth, when Gao Junshan was stabbed in the chest by his own move, why didn't he have anything at all, and hesitated for a while before speaking, "King Qin, I obviously stabbed you back then, why didn't you have anything at all?" ”

Gao Junshan replied wittily: "I have the help of the gods!" ”……

Gao Junshan's 40,000 troops all marched into Ningzhou City, preparing to rest here for a while. Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong's 2,000 men and horses in Ningzhou all laid down their weapons, and Gao Junshan distributed the money owed by the imperial court to He Renlong's subordinates, and allowed those who did not want to join the rebel army to leave Ningzhou.

In the end, there were 1,321 people who intended to stay.

On the sixth day of the fourth month, Gao Junshan received an order from Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, who was stationed in Chengcheng, to command the whole army to assemble in Chengcheng and join forces with Gao Yingxiang's army to prepare for the next military action.

Gao Junshan has his own small abacus, and he has long planned to expand his power based on Pingliang, but he can't violate Gao Yingxiang's orders, because he is still under the banner of "Chuang", and most of the generals under him are Gao Yingxiang's old generals.

Therefore, he had to order Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, and Ma Zhian to lead an army of 40,000 to Chengcheng to join Gao Yingxiang, and he led his Red Army friends, Li Busi, and Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong, who had just been recruited, to rush back to Pingliang.

After the order was given, Ma Zhi'an hurriedly came to see Gao Junshan: "King Qin, I want to stay and follow you." ”

Gao Junshan politely declined his kindness, telling him that he was safe with his Red Army friends and Li Busi by his side, and Ma Zhi'an refused to live or die, and he must stay by Gao Junshan's side.

Gao Junshan understands Ma Zhi'an very well, after all, Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong Xinxin, they have a grudge against the Red Army Friends and Li Busi, and the death of Shen Yikui was related to these two people, and the Red Army Friends and Li Busi are all Shen Yikui's generals. These four people don't know what will happen when they are together, Ma Zhian asked to stay by Gao Junshan's side, at least Gao Junshan's safety can be guaranteed.

In the end, Gao Junshan agreed to Ma Zhi'an's request, and the army sent to Chengcheng could only be led by Gao Yigong and Liu Fangliang.

On the tenth day of the first month of April, Gao Junshan led the Red Army Friends, Li Busi, Ma Zhi'an, Cao Wenzhao, He Renlong and other troops, a total of more than 5,000 cavalry, and military divisions Tian Wenju and Liu Hongru, embarked on the road back to Pingliang, and reluctantly withdrew from Ningzhou City.

At the same time, the 40,000 troops led by Gao Yigong and Liu Fangliang also drove out of Ningzhou City, and their destination was Chengcheng in the east. Two detachments, each divided into things.

The 5,000 iron horsemen of Gao Jun Mountain traveled 100 miles a day, and returned to Pingliang after three days. Cai Zhishan, Bai Lisha, Ma Jinzhong and other civil and military officials happily greeted them at the city gate.

As soon as Gao Junshan saw Cai Zhishan, he couldn't wait to ask: "Bolan, where is Huang Yunfa?" ”
