Chapter 433: Persuasion

Hearing that Chen Yue didn't hate himself, Hao Shaoqi couldn't help but sigh.

He originally thought that Chen Yue hated his betrayal, which was the reason why he defected and fled to the south. After all, the Zhengyang Gate he guarded at that time was the retreat of the Xishan Army, and his betrayal was equivalent to forcing Chen Yue to a dead end.

"Hou Ye said that at that time, it was just the masters of it, and he would have made the same choice. What's more, he deceived the general by pretending to surrender, which can be said to be flattened. So when I talked about the general later, there was no hatred at all, there was only appreciation and regret, and I regretted that I couldn't work with the general to make a great cause. ”

Liu Neng agitated like a spring, and Chen Yue said that he appreciated Hao Shaoqi incomparably. In fact, Chen Yue never mentioned Hao Shaoqi to him, and these words were purely made up by him.

"Brother Chen......" Hearing what Liu Neng said, Hao Shaoqi sighed, his eyes full of silence.

Looking at Hao Shaoqi's expression, Liu Neng knew that he was not doing well in the army, so he said tentatively, "General Hao, I don't know if I should say something or not?" ”

"It's all my own brothers, just say anything." Hao Shaoqi waved his hand, and said habitually, as soon as the words came out, he realized that the people on the other side were no longer brothers, but belonged to the camp of the enemy and us.

Hearing the word brother from Hao Shaoqi's mouth, Liu Neng was suddenly shocked, knowing that he should be fine this time.

"General Hao, it doesn't seem like you're doing well now?" Liu Neng asked tentatively.

"So-so." Hao Shaoqi smiled bitterly. He was originally the standard-bearer of Gao Chuangwang's subordinates, but later Gao Yingxiang was defeated and returned to Li Zicheng's command, and he was not the most confidant, otherwise he would not have been sent to Beijing to go undercover.

And now because Chen Yue rebelled, and left Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng did not blame him for having calculated it, and it was impossible for him to be as trustworthy as Liu Fangliang and Li Guo and other descendants.

In another time and space, Hao Shaoqi has never been reused by Li Zicheng, when Li Zicheng founded Xi'an, he rewarded hundreds of barons Hou Bozi, among which there was no Hao Shaoqi. Hao Shaoqi's official position in the army is just a general Guoyi, with two or three thousand men and horses in his hands, and in the camp of hundreds of thousands of troops, he is just a general.

Later, Li Zicheng's army was defeated and fled to Hubei, and his control declined, Hao Shaoqi took advantage of the chaos to collect and pack tens of thousands of horses, only to stand out in the army, and after Li Zicheng's death, Hao Shaoqi won the favor of He Tengjiao, the governor of Minghuguang, with the strength in his hands, and was entrusted with the post of the chief soldier of the standard battalion, and later was named the Marquis of Nan'an by Emperor Yongli, which became the pinnacle moment of his life.

In this time and space, due to the rebellion of the recommended Chen Yue, Hao Shaoqi's status in Li Zicheng's heart was even worse, and it was evident that he was sent far away to the south.

Therefore, when Liu Neng asked him if he was unhappy, Hao Shaoqi could only smile bitterly.

"General Hao, with all due respect, if you had been following Master Hou, the current situation would be very different. You can know that now even Wang Meng, Xiao Bing and others have become the commanders of the first battalion, and Yang Zhengping has become the head of the first division, the chief soldier, and he has great power. ”

According to the reward of the imperial court, now Yang Zhengping has the military position of the governor of the Left Army, and he is the military attache of the second rank of Zheng'er Bajing, and the official position is the chief soldier of Huai'an, and others such as Wu Ping and Yu Feng also have the official position of deputy general. However, in the Pingnan Army, the military system is different from that of the imperial court, and the rank of the imperial court such as the chief soldier and deputy general is just a salary, and it has little to do with the actual position.

When he heard that Yang Zhengping, who had the same status as himself, had become the chief soldier of Zheng Erpin, Hao Shaoqi sighed, he only led two or three thousand soldiers and horses now, and his official position was General Guoyi, which was comparable to the guerrillas in the Ming army, and Yang Zhengping's status was far away......

"General Hao, now that you have lost the trust of Emperor Dashun, why don't you switch to the command of the Marquis of Yangzhou, with the relationship between the Marquis and you, his status will definitely be above everyone."

Liu Neng said in the end, finally said his purpose, and began to try to persuade Hao to shake the flag. In Liu Neng's heart, if he can persuade Hao Shaoqi to surrender, he will definitely add a general to the Pingnan Army, and Hou Ye will definitely be overjoyed.

At this moment, Hao Shaoqi was very moved, but after an instant, his face became solemn and he shook his head slowly.

"Why? Are you worried about the lack of power of the Pingnan Army? To tell the truth, the Pingnan Army is no longer comparable to the past, Hou Ye is now the governor of Jiangbei, and the four prefectures of Jiangbei are all under his rule and hold the military and political power. Now the Pingnan Army is not the army of thousands of people at the beginning, it has grown to 100,000 troops! ”

Liu Neng tried to persuade.

"I have never doubted Brother Chen's ability, but ......," Hao Shaoqi said hesitantly.

"What's so good, can't you see that the Chuang army is not a Manchurian opponent at all, and the Henan and Shaanxi provinces occupied are all ruined land, how can they compete with the fierce and invincible Eight Banners? Those who can resist the Eight Banners in the future must be the Pingnan Army under Hou Ye! Liu Neng said eagerly.

"Liu Neng, don't say it, I believe that King Chuang will regroup......" Hao Shaoqi shook his head slowly, preventing Liu Neng from continuing.

Although he is only a general in the Dashun army, but he has been in the army for more than ten years, since the second year of Chongzhen, he has followed Gao Yingxiang on the road of rebellion, and he has been labeled as a thief, and has deep doubts about the Ming court, Hao Shaoqi.

What's more, how many hardships and obstacles King Chuang has had in the past ten years, when it was the most difficult, there were only dozens of people around him, but it has developed into a huge force now. Hao Shaoqi didn't believe that Li Zicheng would collapse!

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Hao Shaoqi to surrender, Liu Neng could only shake his head and sigh.

"You can rest in my camp for a few days now, recuperate from your injuries, and if you lack anything, just say it, and I will personally send you on your way in two days." Hao waved the flag. He knew that Liu Neng was the hardcore of Chen Yue, the Marquis of Pingnan, just as he refused to betray Li Zicheng, Liu Neng would not abandon Chen Yue to stay in his camp.

"Okay." Liu Nengdao said that he was slightly injured in the battle, and he really needed to rest for two days.

In the next few days, Liu Neng and several of his subordinates stayed in Hao Shaoqi's camp to recuperate from his injuries, but Hao Shaoqi only told him not to walk around, and he did not restrain him more. Liu Neng exerted the instinct of Jinyiwei and got a lot of things from Hao Shaoqi's camp. I was surprised to find that the structure and even the training methods in Hao Shaoqi's battalion were similar to those of the Pingnan Army, but it was the training method that Hao Shaoqi learned in the Xishan Army and retained it. No wonder Hao Shaoqi's combat effectiveness is so strong, with two or three thousand troops, he brutally hit Li Guoying's Chinese army, making Li Guoying's tens of thousands of troops completely defeated!
