Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Decision to Regret
Li Zicheng smiled and waved his hand and said, "Children are not sensible, don't take it to heart." I'm settling down in the Shangluo Mountains, but I suggest you wait until you've harvested the wheat before pulling the flag, so that you can solve some of the grain and grass problems. ”
"Well, that's a good time." Zhang Xianzhong nodded, toasted Li Zicheng, and said, "Come, let's have a drink." ”
The two of them tilted their heads and drank the wine from their glasses. Zhang Nai also took the bowl and drank a big sip with the two. He put down the wine bowl, wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth, and said with a big tongue: "Zhang, King Zhang, why don't you give us some and some supplies." ”
Li Zicheng frowned and scolded: "When you're full, go aside!" Drink a little wine and talk nonsense! Twenty sticks will be fined! When I go back, find a job and get it myself! ”
The corners of Zhang Nai's mouth twitched, he stood up with his head drooped, and obediently went to sit down on the chair next to the lobby and drink tea to relieve his hangover.
Li Zicheng bowed his hand to Zhang Xianzhong and said, "Jing Xuan, forgive me, the little rabbit cub drinks some wine like this, and he can't talk about his brain." ”
Zhang Xianzhong glanced at Li Zicheng amusedly, and said with a smile: "Zicheng, you say, what do you want?" Is it armor? Or is it food? ”
Li Zicheng didn't care whether Zhang Xianzhong was polite or sincere, he just went to the pole, he smiled and said: "Since Jingxuan wants to help us, then give me five hundred stone of grain, if your horses are rich, give you two hundred war horses, five hundred bows and crossbows, and ten thousand arrows." ”
Zhang Xianzhong's hand that was stroking his beautiful hair stopped, grabbed his beard for a while, and then laughed twice, and said: "Zicheng, it's not that our old Zhang is stingy, it's that there are more than 20,000 people waiting to be fed under our old Zhang's hands." Look, I'll give you fifty mules and horses, and you can carry as many things as you want, okay? ”
Li Zicheng smiled and nodded, bowed his hand to Zhang Xianzhong, and said, "This is already a lot, let's accept your love here." ”
Zhang Xianzhong laughed, this matter is decided.
Li Zicheng patted his belly and said with a smile: "Look, I have eaten this meal, and I have said everything that should be discussed, so I will leave first." ”
"Why are you in a hurry?" Zhang Xianzhong said: "Just come and leave, this is too unspeakable." You stay here for a few days, I will entertain you well, look at your skinny, when you go out, you look like an old farmer who has escaped from the famine, where is the body of a general? ”
"Alas, there is still something going on at home," Li Zicheng said helplessly: "Gui Ying and the family members of the old camp have also been dispersed, and there is no news yet." I'll have to go back sooner and send someone to find out about them and take care of other things in the camp. I can't wait. ”
Zhang Xianzhong asked in surprise: "My sister-in-law was also scattered?" Then you have to look for it quickly, but it can't be cheap. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it, and I'll let you know if there's any news. ”
"Thank you very much." Li Zicheng said gratefully.
Li Zicheng insisted on leaving, and in the end, Zhang Xianzhong did not stay, let Li Zicheng drink tea here first, and he sent people to the old camp outside the city to prepare things first. Li Zicheng didn't ask for weapons and armor or anything, so he asked for all the food. As long as there is food, he can hold the team, and when they kill Shangluo Mountain, what weapons and horses can't be grabbed? He knew that very well.
By the time they first arrived in Shenshi, Li Zicheng and Zhang Nai's had already gotten the things sent by Zhang Xianzhong. They used a secret message to contact them, summoned Li Guo who was hiding nearby, and left quickly with their things.
On the way out, Li Guo said happily: "Little Nai, you kid is clever enough, you knocked so many things from the hands of the eight kings at once, enough for us to last two months." ”
Zhang Nai shouted unhappily: "Don't scream! It's hard to hear! ”
"You're 'little @ milk @ son', hahahaha!" The rest of the group began to joke loudly.
After a burst of laughter, the group was quiet again, save for the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground.
Li Guo suddenly asked, "Uncle, let's go to Cao Cao with so many things?" ”
Li Zicheng shook his horsewhip and said with a smile: "I'm not going!" Luo Rucai is very cunning, maybe he will exchange us for a reward. Huang Hu will contact him, as long as Huang Hu pulls up the anti-flag, Cao Cao will follow, don't worry about him. ”
They did not follow the path they had come, but made a big circle, following a path in the mountains. If they had taken the main road, they would have carried so many mules, horses, and food, and they might not have been able to travel more than 20 miles, and they would have been robbed by the officers and soldiers.
Zhang Xianzhong did not go to see Li Zicheng, but stayed in the city. As soon as Li Zicheng left, Xu Yixian hurried over. After he saw Zhang Xianzhong, he immediately asked Zhang Xianzhong: "Dashuai, did Li Zicheng come just now?" ”
"Dashuai let him go?" Xu Yixian asked again.
Zhang Xianzhong replied impatiently: "Let him go, we not only let him go, but also gave him fifty stones of grain." ”
"Dashuai, send someone to chase after you now, it's still too late." Xu Yixian excitedly suggested: "Kill Li Chuang, and eliminate a future trouble for the future!" ”
Zhang Xianzhong ignored it, and still sat on the chair and drank tea slowly.
Xu Yixian saw that Zhang Xianzhong did not move, so he ordered loudly to the outsiders: "Someone! Pass the commander's military order, send a cavalry, catch up with Li Chuang, and kill without mercy! ”
The pro-soldiers outside came in and glanced at Zhang Xianzhong, who was sitting tall, and did not agree, so he did not take the order.
Xu Yixian was very anxious, and he persuaded: "Handsome! Don't miss it! Now is the best time to kill Li Chuang, otherwise there will be endless trouble in the future! ”
"Aftermath?!" Zhang Xianzhong snorted coldly and said, "That's also in the future!" Lao Tzu keeps him useful now, first manage the present, and then manage the future. Also, Lao Tzu is not dead yet, and there is no need for others to issue military orders! ”
"Dashuai, please calm your anger, it is obvious that it is also for the sake of Dashuai's great cause, so I didn't investigate for a while, and sent an order on behalf of Dashuai, please forgive your sins." Xu Yixian hurriedly shook it to the end and apologized.
Zhang Xianzhong gave a false help and said: "The military advisor doesn't have to be like this, if someone dared to sincerely fake our old Zhang's military orders, he would have moved his head a long time ago!" ”
"But Dashuai, Li Chuang still has to get rid of it as soon as possible!" Xu Yixian still continued to persuade.
Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand and said conclusively: "This matter ends here!" Our Lao Zhang is still waiting for him Li Chuang to attract the attention of some officials and soldiers to Lao Tzu. As for the future, let's just fight again. Now the biggest enemy is the imperial court, and what else is fighting for the world and seizing the country, I will talk about it later! We can't go up the kang across the threshold! ”
Xu Yixian heard Zhang Xianzhong say it so clearly, and he could only reluctantly give up the idea of chasing and killing Li Zicheng. It's just that he still feels pity in his heart, and always feels that Zhang Xianzhong will regret it in the future, maybe he will regret it too.
