Li Zicheng has already estimated it. Vertex updates are the fastest

From the moment he saw the two rangers return safely, he had a hunch that Luo Ru accepted the conditions he offered!

Otherwise, Luo Rucai had no reason to release the rangers sent by Li Ji so quickly, they were not messengers, but spies who inquired about information, and even if they wanted to release them, at least after the battle was over.

The only thing Li Zicheng didn't understand was that since Luo Rucai accepted the conditions he offered, why didn't he send a messenger to inform him? At that time, Luo Rucai was asked to talk in person, and he was not asked to bring all his subordinates and people over.

In case of misunderstanding......

Li Ji was not at ease, "Governor, the army can't be withdrawn for the time being!" ”

Li Zicheng nodded, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, Luo Rucai is as cunning as "Cao Cao", this is why he has the nickname "Cao Cao", who knows if he will surrender?

Not long after, a cavalry of more than ten people stood out from Luo Rucai's team and galloped towards this side, and Li Ji hurriedly sent soldiers to intercept them, wanting to disarm these cavalry.

"Hongji!"

The leader was Gao Ligong, and when he saw the large number of soldiers around, his face showed surprise.

Li Zicheng knew Gao Ligong's thoughts, although he wanted to return to his side, but now he was still Luo Rucai's subordinate, so he naturally had to worry about Luo Rucai's safety.

"Don't be nervous about meritorious service, these soldiers are all welcoming you!" In front of outsiders, you can't call "big brother" for the time being, in case Luo Rucai becomes suspicious, it is very likely that there will be a recurrence.

Gao Ligong turned around and looked at it, and said, "Hongji, General Luo is behind!" ”

"Don't worry, we will be a family, I will absolutely guarantee the safety of General Luo," Li Zicheng did not dismount, but leaned slightly towards Gao Ligong's side, "Meritorious, since General Luo accepted my conditions, why didn't he send a messenger, but directly brought all his subordinates over?" ”

"So that's it?" Gao Ligong was relieved, "General Luo is ready to send another envoy, I said, come and go, and delay time, since the two sides are going to join forces, it is better to bring people and horses over directly......"

"Haha," Li Zicheng laughed, "Meritorious, let's go, let's go meet General Luo!" ”

"The Grand Duke!" Li Jixin said, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, Luo Rucai is newly descended, who can know his thoughts.

"General Li don't worry, I believe in meritorious service, and I also believe in General Luo!" Li Zicheng said in his heart, there are thousands of soldiers around him, and in case of a battle, he should be able to resist for a while, but the distance of ten miles, the main force will arrive in the blink of an eye.

Li Zicheng personally greeted Luo Rucai, on the one hand, to give him enough face, on the other hand, to eliminate his vigilance, the 20,000 soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army welcomed him, and he was fully armed, Luo Rucai was somewhat suspicious.

It's a matter of life!

The two sides have never met, and the foundation of mutual trust is fragile.

He took the initiative to enter Luo Rucai's army, which was to lift his vigilance, and once his vigilance was removed, the two sides would establish real mutual trust.

Gao Ligong followed Li Zicheng's side and whispered: "Hongji, don't worry, General Luo has no dissenting intentions," paused for a moment, and said coldly: "In case someone has dissenting intentions, you must first step over my corpse!" ”

Li Zicheng smiled and didn't answer, he was already urging the war horse to greet Luo Rucai, He Xiaomi took all the personal soldiers, and he also quickly stepped up the whip and guarded Li Zicheng at the core.

Less than ten miles away, I felt like I was sneezing, and I had come to the front of Luobu.

Li Zicheng glanced at it, and there were really people in front of him, helping the old and the young, carrying them on their shoulders, they were simply fleeing people, how could they look like half an army?

Such an army should not be very mobile, I don't know how to "hide and seek" with the Ming army in Huguang!

Gao Ligong bowed his hand to Li Zicheng, and did not speak, but ran forward, went straight to the middle and front of the team, and then reined in his horse, turned over and jumped down, and whispered something to the people around him.

Li Zicheng looked at it from a distance, he seemed to be a woman, could it be that Luo Ru was a woman? He immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly, impossible, if Luo Rucai was a woman, her name would definitely be even greater, and she would even be slandered as a demon girl.

But Luo Rucai hid in the pile of women, which surprised Li Zicheng very much, what the hell is going on?

Gao Ligong came back soon, in addition to the more than ten horsemen just now, another twenty or thirty cavalry were added, and the cavalry was all moving slowly, but slightly faster than the speed of the people.

When he was about to get closer, Gao Ligong urged the horse forward again, and came to Li Zicheng's side, but he turned over and dismounted, "Metropolitan Governor, General Luo is here!" ”

Li Zicheng was stunned, why did Gao Ligong change his name? Immediately, he was relieved, in front of Luo Rucai, now he is talking about business!

He sat on horseback and looked up at the dozens of horsemen, surrounded by one man, who was wearing a sky-high hood, chain mail, and a big red cloak on the outside, looking very powerful.

The face exposed outside the helmet is slightly wrinkled, the skin is relatively rough, a pair of corns, it looks a little gloomy, and the two eye bags are obviously drooping, I don't know if I didn't sleep well last night, or I was chased and killed by the Ming army, and I often don't sleep well.

Luo Rucai is also looking at Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng seems to be younger than him, but he has a domineering spirit that is not angry and arrogant, no wonder he can command tens of thousands of Heavenly Mandate troops, and also occupy the territory of several provinces, and in the core of the Central Plains of the imperial court, he is also in a confrontation with the officers and soldiers......

He was also sitting on the horse, and he was stunned for a while, and Gao Ligong hurriedly called softly: "General......"

Luo Rucai just came to his senses, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and knelt down in front of Li Zicheng's yellow-maned horse, "Villain Luo Rucai, knock on the ...... of the Metropolitan Governor"

Li Zicheng also jumped off the horse, took two steps forward, and held Luo Ru is arm with both hands, "General Luo, please get up, we are already a family, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it!" ”

Luo Rucai got up and laughed: "Yes, yes, it's all family!" ”

The two hugged each other tightly for a long time, and after letting go of each other, He Xiaomi, who was standing behind him, put down his hanging heart, "Metropolitan Governor ......"

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "There are still less than ten miles away, General Luo is bothered, I have already prepared a dinner, let's get drunk and rest!" ”

"Get drunk!"

Everyone remounted their horses and took the lead in driving towards Li Jibu's camp, leaving the soldiers and people far behind.

The time for dinner was still early, Li Zicheng immediately held a welcome meeting to welcome Luo Rucai's return, the main officials of the Provisional Governor's Office, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance all participated, Li Ji was originally qualified to participate, but he wanted to place the sergeants and people of Luo Rucai's department, so he stayed at the front line.

After a few greetings, everyone talked about the topic, if the important things could not be determined, Luo Rucai would definitely not be able to drink well.

Although Luo Rucai obeyed Li Zicheng's arrangement, a pair of ears were pricked up, lest he miss a word.

“…… After General Luo joined the Mandate of Heaven Army, he would serve as the civilian deputy envoy of the Provisional Governor's Office of the Mandate of Heaven. Li Zicheng originally asked Song Xiance to serve as a civil deputy envoy, but after this period of observation, he was basically satisfied with Song Xiance's talent and loyalty, so he promoted him to be a regular envoy.

"Civil Deputy?" Luo Rucai obviously didn't understand what kind of position this was, and after Niu Jinxing's reminder, he realized that he was actually an important adviser to the Metropolitan Governor in civil affairs.

"Subordinate...... Subordinates obey the arrangement of the Grand Governor! Although Luo Rucai was a little dissatisfied, he didn't dare to show it too much for a while in the Heavenly Mandate Military Camp.

Li Zicheng had already seen his thoughts in his eyes, and he didn't say anything, and continued: "General Luo is an important adviser to the Governor of Pontus, so he naturally has to follow the Governor of Pontus on weekdays and give Governor Pontus staff at any time, as for the soldiers to whom General Luo belongs now, ......"

"......" This is also a matter that Luo Rucai is extremely concerned about.

"According to the main purpose of the Heavenly Mandate Army, they will be organized into the Chengtian Battalion, General Luo will be the chief general of the Chengtian Battalion, General Weide will be the representative of the Tianfu Minweide, Gao Ligong will be the deputy general, and the rank of leading staff general, the Chengtian Battalion will have two regiments, each regiment will have 5,000 households, and each will have a regiment commander......"

Luo Rucai's heart moved, although he was the general of the Tianfu people and the chief general of the Chengtian battalion, he had to stay by Li Zicheng's side on weekdays, that is, the nominal general, and the deputy general Gao Ligong was the real general.

However, in this way, he still has the title of the chief general, at least it is better than directly cutting the military power, so he lowered his head and whispered: "All the subordinates obey the governor, but there are still more than 100,000 people......"

"General Luo, don't worry, the governor of Pontus has a plan!" Li Zicheng pointed to Song Xiance with his hand, and Song Xiance hurriedly said: "The families of the soldiers of the Chengtian Camp, about 30,000 people, are all settled in Nanyang Mansion and its subordinate prefectures and counties, there is still a lot of land on both sides of the rivers such as Tashui and Mishui, there is no drought here, and it should not be a problem to live a rich life." ”

“……”

"The rest of the people, with their families as units, 15,000 people are placed in Runing Mansion, and the remaining people are divided into two equal groups, one is placed in Lanzhou Mansion in Gansu Province, and the other batch is placed in Jianchang Mansion in Sichuan Province.

"In this way, the subordinates will rest assured!" Luo Rucai didn't care too much about the people, and he wasn't completely satisfied that Li Zicheng had taken away his military power, but in the face of the general trend, he was helpless, Huguang could not be tolerated by Zhang Xianzhong, Henan was the world of the Mandate of Heaven, and there was a powerful imperial court, except for disbanding the soldiers, he really had no way out.

Soldiers can be disbanded, but ......

Niu Venus is the most calm, and now the overall situation has been decided.

He had already discussed with the Metropolitan Governor, if Luo Rucai's army accepted the adaptation of the Mandate of Heaven Army, it would be the best, it could increase the strength of the Mandate of Heaven Army, in case Luo Rucai did not accept the appointment, then there was nothing to say, even if he was infamous on his back, he had to remove this person for the Metropolitan Governor.

Luo Rucai has already entered the camp of the Heavenly Mandate Army, that is, the lion tiger and the fox, which are also caged beasts, and he can't help it.

Song Xiance saw that Luo Rucai did not explicitly object, so he glanced at Niu Jinxing and said, "Metropolitan Governor, General Luo, I'm afraid the wine and food are already good, let's talk while eating!" ”
