Looking at Wuchang City that appeared in front of him, Liu Neng, who was in the dust, let out a sigh.

From Jiugong Mountain in the east of the Fushui River to Wuchang City for less than four hundred miles, Liu Neng traveled for ten days.

Along the way, there were routs of the Shun army, in groups of three or five, dozens or hundreds, of various sizes, wandering south of the Yangtze River.

Relying on the instinct of not collecting overnight, Liu Neng and others dodged all the way, carefully avoiding the large group of Shun army routs, and let the small group of routs that suddenly met them, so that they had to break through, with the Shun army uniforms changed on their bodies, there was no danger along the way.

But even so, there was still an encounter, which was said to have leaked out of the encirclement when it was interrogated by more than a dozen Shun soldiers, and had to be forcibly rushed out of the encirclement. A hard battle caused several of his subordinates to be completely lost, and when they arrived outside Wuchang City, only Liu Neng was left.

Yes, Liu Neng's trip was to persuade Hao Shaoqi of Wuchang to surrender, and then lead the army to rescue Wuhu.

There are loyal and righteous people in this world, and Liu Neng is one of them. There is no culture, and he doesn't know a few words, Liu Neng, who was born in Xishan Town, is the most loyal person to Chen Yue.

In Liu Neng's eyes, it was Chen Yue who brought him out of the remote mountainous area of Xishan Town and brought him a wide world, so he was Chen Yue's person.

In Liu Neng's heart, Chen Yue is much more important than the Ming court and the emperor.

People in this era are like this, there is no concept of a state at all, and loyalty is always directed at the individual. This is also the reason why the Lord will rebel or surrender, and all his soldiers will hula and follow.

With the merit of killing Li Zicheng and returning to Nanjing with Li Zicheng's head, Liu Neng may be rewarded by the earl, and at the worst he can be awarded a hereditary position like a thousand households. But thinking that Chen Jianghe led the lone army to defend Wuhu, since the Manchu Qing Dynasty captured Jiujiang City, the next step must be to wave Nanjing, Wuhu is the only place, Liu Nengbian resolutely gave up this great achievement.

Instead, he sent a subordinate to take the peasant Cheng Jiugong to Nanchang, and put the credit for killing Li Zicheng on Cheng Jiugong's head.

The first is to publicize that Li Zicheng is dead and disintegrate the fighting spirit of the remnants of the Shun army.

Li Zicheng died, Hao Shaoqi had no object of allegiance, and the Dashun army had no future at all, which was crucial to successfully convincing Hao Shaoqi to return to the Ming Dynasty.

In order to kill Li Zicheng, Lao An was placed on Cheng Jiugong's head, and the conflict with the Shun army was also avoided. You killed other people's emperors and persuaded them to surrender, no matter how good your relationship with Hao Shaoqi is, it will definitely not work, Hao Shaoqi always has to take care of the opinions of his soldiers and generals. At that time, maybe Liu Neng will be pulled out and cut to avenge Li Zicheng.

Looking at the city gate of Wuchang, Liu Neng breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned slightly, after these days, I don't know if the Qing soldiers have hit Wuhu, what happened to Hou Ye in Yangzhou?

Hearing that Liu Neng was going to see the envoy of Jiedu, the soldiers of the Shun army guarding the city gate looked Liu Neng up and down with a look of disdain. Wearing tattered military uniforms, at first glance, it looks like the dress of a rout, and I have seen a lot of such routs in the past few days, and they have all fled back from the direction of Jiujiang.

Looking at the military uniform on Liu Neng's body, it is clear that he is a small soldier, not even a captain, so he still wants to see the envoy of Jiedu? What a dream!

"If you want to see the festival, I still want to see it, go and go to the side." The guards at the gate drove away.

There is a special camp outside the city of Wuchang to collect the defeated soldiers, and the defeated soldiers who have escaped are not allowed to enter the city of Wuchang.

Of course, this difficulty was not difficult for Liu Neng, but it cost five taels of silver to be allowed to enter the city.

After entering Wuchang, he used the same method to bribe the guards of the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy before being reported to Hao Shaoqi.

"Why are you here again?" Looking at Liu Neng, Hao Shaoqi frowned. Not long ago, I released this kid in De'an Mansion, but I didn't expect to be unrelenting.

"Why, when you become a festival envoy, you can't look down on old friends?" Liu Neng said with a sneer.

"If you have something to say, let it go if you have a fart, Lao Tzu is very busy, and he has no time to take care of you is ball." Hao Shaoqi didn't have a good airway.

"Hehe, I really thought that I would become a character when I became a festival envoy, Li Zicheng is fucking dead, you are arrogant and a hammer!" Liu Neng said disdainfully.

"What did you say?" Hao Shaoqi was shocked, grabbed the front of Liu Neng's clothes, and dragged Liu Neng up, "Make it clear to Lao Tzu." ”

In the past few days, one after another defeated troops have poured into Wuchang, all saying that the main force was defeated, but there is everything to say about Li Zicheng's whereabouts, some say that Li Zicheng is injured, and some say that he is reorganizing the army and preparing to attack Jiujiang again, so that Hao Shaoqi does not know who to believe.

"Let go, let go and I'll say." Liu Neng used the bear paw that broke Hao Shaoqi, but he couldn't break it.

With a cold snort, he put Liu Neng on the chair, moved a chair and sat face to face with Liu Neng, a pair of copper bell-like eyes glared at Liu Neng, "Say it quickly!" ”

"I said General Hao, an old friend is here, shouldn't you have a cup of tea or something first?" Liu Neng's tired smile made Hao Shaoqi's teeth itch with hatred.

", believe it or not, I'm going to let people drag you out?" Hao Shaoqi sneered.

"Okay, okay, I'll say I'll say." Liu Neng didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and his face became serious.

"You also know that I was originally in Jiujiang City, the Eight Banners suddenly appeared on the north bank of Jiujiang City, and Zuo Mengeng, who was stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River, surrendered and sent troops to attack Jiujiang City and capture the superintendent Yuan Jixian.

I took a few of my men out of the city with hard work, but the water and land routes were blocked by Zuo Mengeng and the Qing soldiers, so I could only flee south to Nanchang City.

In Nanchang, I heard that the Dashun army was attacked by the cavalry of the Eight Banners west of Jiujiang, and the army of more than 100,000 collapsed. Just as I was trying to collect information to bring back to Yangzhou, suddenly a peasant named Cheng Jiu came to Nanchang with a head to find the official mansion, saying that he had killed Li Zicheng, the emperor of Dashun.

I was shocked at the time, and when I checked the head with the identity of Jinyiwei, I saw that there was a left eye missing from the head, and the appearance was very similar to the appearance of Li Zicheng in the legend. It happened that the rout of the Shun army fled from Jiujiang to Poyang Lake, and was caught by the officers and soldiers and escorted to Nanchang, so that after the rout was identified, it was determined that it was really Li Zicheng's head.

At that time, I thought that since Li Zicheng was dead, Dashun was finished.

Brother Hao, you are the general of Dashun, you can't follow Dashun to be buried, for the sake of Brother Hao's future, I gave up the plan to return to Yangzhou, and came to Wuchang City without any effort, over mountains and mountains, and thousands of miles away.

I want to tell Brother Hao the news to you, so that you can make plans as soon as you know.

Look, brother, I'm interesting enough! ”

After Liu Neng finished speaking, he looked at Hao Shaoqi with a smile.
