Lao Hui Ma Shouying, Ge Li Yan He Yilong, Zuo Jin Wang He Jin, Reincarnated King Liu Xiyao, and Troubled King Lin Chengcheng, the five battalions of soldiers and horses cooperate from time to time to fight against officers and soldiers, forming a loose alliance, which the imperial court called "Ge Zuo Five Battalions"!

The Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left has always been active at the junction of Huguang, Henan, and Nanzhili, relying on Yingshan, Huoshan, Qianshan, and Taihu Lake, and can threaten Fengyang, the capital of Zhongdu, and hide in Dabie Mountain when retreating, and is a force to be reckoned with among the Liukou.

The Mandate of Heaven and the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution had never been in direct contact, and it could be said that there was no relationship between the two sides, let alone a cooperative relationship.

Li Zicheng couldn't figure out why the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left was so prosperous on his own territory that he came to the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army?

After the Mandate of Heaven Army occupied Henan, agricultural production has been resumed in Henan, and if there is no intervention from outside forces, Henan will soon be on the right track, and the people will gradually usher in a better life.

The arrival of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left in Henan will certainly affect the restoration of Henan's agriculture, commerce, and social order.

No matter what attitude the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution has towards the Mandate of Heaven Army, hundreds of thousands of troops always need to be fed with the grain produced in Henan, why should the territory of the Mandate of Heaven Army feed the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution Left, which has nothing to do with them?

Besides, the character of the Liukou of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution, hundreds of thousands of people, do not know what kind of looting Henan will become, and the two counties of Gushi and Xincai may have suffered a lot......

Before the Mandate of Heaven Army marches south to Huguang, it must solve its worries!

Li Zicheng sent a message to Fu Ruwei, the prefect of Runing Prefecture, and Yang Chenhu, the commander of the Fourth Regiment of the Seventh Battalion, that they must hold the city of Runing Mansion, and the army of the Mandate of Heaven will arrive later.

At the same time, the cavalry of the first battalion of Liu Yunshui's department was ordered to immediately rush to Runing to reinforce Yang Chenhu's department and prevent the fifth battalion of Gezuo from harming the people in Runing!

Li Zicheng estimated that although there were hundreds of thousands of troops in the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, the real soldiers were probably only one or two percent, or tens of thousands.

The Li Ji Department of the Fourth Battalion, the Li Xin Department of the Independent Battalion, and the Gao Li Meritorious Department of the Chengtian Battalion had completed the Battle of Persimmon Garden, and they were just going west to go to the Fifth Battalion of the Left Battalion of Huihui.

Considering that Luo Rucai had cooperated with the various units of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution when he was in Huguang before, Li Zicheng specially sent a letter to Luo Rucai, who was in charge of Zhengzhou, to rush south and join the army in Runing.

On the third day of October, Li Zicheng rushed to Ruzhou.

To his surprise, Yang Chenhu's troops in Runing City and Liu Yunshui's troops, who arrived in advance, did not fight with the 5th Battalion of Gezuo, on the contrary, the atmosphere outside the city was quite relaxed, and the people continued to work outside the city, and there was no sign of an imminent war.

In the battle of Jiaxian, Liu Yunshui captured 2,000 war horses from the Ming army, and handed them over to the third regiment of Gao Qian's department, which was training cavalry outside Runing.

Li Zicheng immediately summoned Liu Yunshui, Fu Ruwei, and Yang Chenhu, and learned from them that the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution was preparing to cooperate with the Heavenly Mandate Army.

It's okay to cooperate, but the key is the way you work together.

Alliances and cooperation are impossible.

The Mandate of Heaven Army already owned the four provinces of Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, and Henan, plus the Hexi Governor's Palace, which was completely unequal to the strength of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution, and the political concepts of the two sides were also completely different.

Since the day the Mandate of Heaven Army was founded, it has established the ideal of "putting the people first" and has penetrated into the blood of the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven Army......

Li Zicheng remembered Luo Rucai, if the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo chose to take refuge and join the Heavenly Mandate Army, it would be acceptable, and hundreds of thousands of troops would also be raised.

The premise remains the same, and the subtleties can be discussed!

In Li Zicheng's heart, he has already set a benchmark tone for the peace talks.

If the leaders of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution can accept this benchmark tone, and Li Zicheng is happy to accept the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution, there will be less destructive power in the land of China;

On the contrary, if Ma Shouying and they did not accept this benchmark tone, Li Zicheng didn't care about meeting with the sword soldiers of the 5th Battalion of Gezuo, and in the land of Henan, the Heavenly Mandate Army had no opponents for the time being, and it was just taking the opportunity to annihilate these rogues, at most it would only delay the pace of the southern expedition to Huguang.

The Heavenly Mandate Army has been able to directly face the Ming Army, and there is no need to rely on the power of the Liukou to form a containment, and Li Zicheng's way of thinking about problems has also undergone a huge change.

Li Zicheng was not in a hurry to meet the leaders of the fifth battalion of Gezuo, but asked Niu Jinxing to visit them first and probe their hearts first.

That night, Niu Jinxing returned to Runing and immediately asked to see Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng summoned Niu Jinxing at the Runing Mansion where he temporarily lived, and said with a smile, "Mr. has talked with them for an afternoon, there should be some gains, right?" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor is really strategizing," Niu Jinxing arched his hand and said with a smile: "The Metropolitan Governor, if what they say is the truth, it should be a great thing!" ”

"A good thing? What's good? Li Zicheng said lightly: "Are they willing to take refuge in the Heavenly Mandate Army?" Just like Luo Rucai? ”

"There is an old Hui Ma Shouying pressing, in fact, it's about the same, that's what it means!"

"Since you want to take refuge in the Mandate of Heaven Army, why is there a horse guarding the pressure?" Li Zicheng frowned lightly, "Could it be that the opinions of the five battalions are not unanimous?" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor is right," Niu Jinxing's body leaned forward slightly, and he whispered: "The Fifth Battalion of the Revolution was originally just an alliance, and there was only cooperation between each other, and there was no subordinate relationship. ”

Li Zicheng knew that these five people were probably willing to join the Heavenly Mandate Army, just to seek benefits, if they were given enough benefits...... The key is whether the Mandate of Heaven is willing to give it.

The development of the Mandate of Heaven Army has entered a smooth road, as long as it goes further, it is very likely to overthrow the imperial court, at this time, the fifth battalion of the left side wants to join in, and dares to talk about conditions!

If the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left is sincere and obedient, it can increase the strength of the Mandate of Heaven Army and speed up the pace of war, which is really a win-win situation.

He pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, how likely is it that they will defect to the Heavenly Mandate Army?" ”

"At least seventy percent!" Niu Jinxing said: "As long as it is handled properly, not only can it attract the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo, but also the rogues from other places, and it will be possible to directly join the Heavenly Mandate Army in the future, without having to exterminate the ...... one by one."

Niu Jinxing's meaning, Li Zicheng understood in his heart that if he used peaceful means to subdue the rogues in various places, he could speed up the development of the Mandate of Heaven Army, that is, after overthrowing the imperial court, he could also calm the Mandate of Heaven as soon as possible and transfer to local construction.

It may not be difficult to destroy these rogues, but once the Mandate of Heaven Army loses popularity, the future rogues are afraid of being wiped out like the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, and they will inevitably resist desperately......

It would be the best choice to unite the rogues around the Mandate of Heaven Army and then transform it in the way of the Mandate of Heaven Army, but everyone has their own minds......

Li Zicheng stroked his chin lightly and said lightly: "Mr. just said that the leader of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution has different thoughts?" ”

"From the perspective of his subordinates, Lao Hui Ma Shouying is more active, maybe he feels tired after so many years of fighting," Niu Jinxing suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Dadu Du, there may be another reason......

"What is the reason?"

"According to the observation of his subordinates, Ma Shouying's health is not good......"

"Not well?" Li Zicheng's heart moved, Ma Shouying is not young, plus he has been fighting all year round, and he is sleeping in the open air, and there is a great possibility of injury, if Ma Shouying is really coming......

"It should be right," Niu Jinxing said, "The subordinates look at his complexion, and the reaction of his guards......"

"I understand," Li Zicheng nodded and said, "What about the others?" What are the minds of others? ”

"Zuojin Wang He Jin, his temperament is relatively straightforward, and he is deeply loved by his subordinates, Liu Xiyao, the king of reincarnation, is very close to Ma Shouying, and he should be a little similar to Ma Shouying's thoughts," Niu Jinxing frowned slightly, and said: "In troubled times, Lin has developed a taciturn temperament, and it is not easy to judge for a while, as for Ge Li Yanhe Yilong," Speaking of this, he paused, and Fang said: "This person's eyes flickered, like a sinister and treacherous person......"

Li Zicheng nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "What conditions did they offer?" ”

"It's not clear that this is not said," Niu Jinxing sat up straight, then leaned back in his chair, and said leisurely: "However, the subordinates judge that they do not want to completely hand over the military power, and want to control the army in their own hands......"

"Is the independence of the army still called refuge?" Li Zicheng sneered: "Do we want to help them feed hundreds of thousands of people in vain?" ”

"Grand Governor, in fact, their request is not inconsiderable......

"What good advice does the gentleman have?"

"They can be allowed to control the army, but they must be rectified in accordance with the military discipline of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and we can also send thousands of household officials and hundred household officials to serve," Niu Jinxing said: "If Ma Shouying is indeed seriously ill, then we will hand over the position of the commander of this army to him......"

Li Zicheng was noncommittal, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want a special army to appear, his own eyes, should he keep an eye on his army at any time?

The way to solve the problem, preferably once and for all.

The strength of the Mandate of Heaven Army and the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution is completely unequal, and it is not a question of equal cooperation and mutual alliance, but a question of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution Leaving defecting to the Mandate of Heaven Army and completely merging into the Mandate of Heaven Army.

If it cannot be incorporated into the Mandate of Heaven Army today, it will be difficult for the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution to grow, and sooner or later it will be eaten, either by the imperial court or by the Mandate of Heaven Army.

On the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army, these rogues are absolutely not allowed to exist, and there is no soil for the existence of rogues, and the territory that the imperial court can control is getting smaller and smaller, and the space for the activities of the fifth battalion of the left is getting smaller and smaller......

The current Heavenly Mandate Army is no longer Wuxia Amun, and his energy should be gradually transferred to the war situation in the whole country, and the appearance of unstable factors within the army will definitely restrain his attention, and the allocation of the army will also be limited to a certain extent.

However, Ma Shouying and they went all the way to Henan, let's see each other first, "Sir, are they willing to enter the city?" ”

Niu Jinxing said: "The subordinates asked, Ma Shouying was willing to enter the city, but some of its leaders didn't know." ”

Only then did Li Zicheng remember that the five battalions of the Revolution and the Left were not a whole, but five departments that were not related to each other, but they only had common interests for the time being......
