Listening to Liu Neng's words, Hao Shaoqi's expression changed drastically, and his heart was churning like waves in the sea.

Regarding Li Zicheng's attack on Nanjing, Hao Shaoqi was not optimistic from the beginning, so he took the initiative to ask to stay in Wuchang and attack Huguang.

There are Mantar chasing soldiers in the back, and there is a strong city in front of them, and they want to repeat the invincibility when they attack Beijing, from Li Zicheng to a group of generals of the Shun army, they take it for granted.

They never thought about what kind of situation the more than 100,000 troops would fall into if the attack failed, and there were blockers in front and pursuers in the back.

And how can the Nanjing court be compared with Beijing? Nanjing, but there is Pingnan Hou Chen Yue, and there are tens of thousands of elite Pingnan troops, where is it so easy to fight?

Now, the evil consequences of the hasty army finally came out, more than 100,000 troops were attacked by the Mantar cavalry, and collapsed in an instant, and the emperor Li Zicheng was killed by the peasants after he fled! How ridiculous!

Of course, whether he really died at the hands of the farmer is debatable, but it is certain that Li Zicheng is indeed dead, combined with the rumors of the rout and Liu Neng's words, Hao Shaoqi can be sure of this.

"How is it, brother, I'm righteous enough, right?" Liu Neng on the side was still smiling and showing his merits.

"Hmph, tell me what you're here for!" Hao Shaoqi had a gloomy face and snorted coldly. He didn't believe that Liu Neng would come to Wuchang for the sake of bullshit.

"Brother Hao, you don't seem to be very sad to hear the news of Li Zicheng's death? He's the emperor of your Dashun, huh? ”

Liu Neng carefully looked at Hao Shaoqi's expression and asked curiously. In addition to his face being a little ugly, on the whole, Hao Shaoqi's performance was quite calm, and it was estimated that he had expected these for a long time, so Liu Neng had confidence in the success of this trip.

"Hmph, am I going to cry to you? Less fucking bullshit, what the hell are you doing? Hao Shaoqi scolded.

Did Liu Neng laugh when he heard this, "What are you doing, of course for Brother Hao!" ”

"Li Zicheng is dead, Dashun is dead. Although there are still many remnants of the Shun army, there is no longer any climate.

Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty occupies the north, and the Ming Dynasty still owns the territory of ten provinces, your Shun army is sandwiched between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and sooner or later it will be killed by both sides, and there will be no second result.

For the life and death of other Shunjun generals, Lao Tzu is too lazy to care, but Brother Hao, you are different, with our friendship, I naturally don't want to see you come to a dead end. Pingnan Hou often whispered to you, saying that if Hao Shaoqi was there, the Pingnan army would double its combat strength. That's why I came to Wuchang to persuade Brother Hao to return to Pingnanhou's command. ”

Liu Neng looked at Hao Shaoqi's face as he spoke, but found that Hao Shaoqi looked unfazed, and secretly said when did this guy become so urban.

Hao Shaoqi actually knew Liu Neng's intentions, and when he heard him mention Chen Yue, a smile appeared on his face.

"I didn't expect Master Hou to remember me Hao Shaoqi, I just hope he doesn't hate me anymore." Hao Shaoqi sighed.

His original betrayal hurt Chen Yue a lot, which made Hao Shaoqi often feel guilty in his heart.

"At that time, each was his master, Hou Ye was a little angry at first, but you can give Li Zicheng advice on the past situation, and persuade Li Zicheng to accept Hou Ye so that Hou Ye can fake his escape, from this point of view, Hou Ye is still grateful to you. So it doesn't matter who owes whom, and Brother Hao doesn't have to feel guilty. If Brother Hao has a heart, our brothers can also start together and do something big. ”

Liu Neng persuaded bitterly.

"Right now, the two ways of attacking Ming are full of Tartars, Brother Liu, you say, can this Ming Dynasty support it?" Regarding Liu Neng's words, Hao Shaoqi was noncommittal, but suddenly asked.

"Brother Hao, what do you mean by this? Do you still want to take refuge in Mantar? Liu Neng's face suddenly turned cold when he heard this, "If that's the case, it's because I haven't been here!" “

After that, Liu Neng stood up and was about to leave.

"Eh, Brother Liu, don't worry, when did I say that I surrendered to Mantar!" Hao Shaoqi hurriedly stood up, grabbed Liu Neng's arm, and pressed him to the chair again.

"Brother Liu, you also know, brother, I am not the same as before, and now there are tens of thousands of brothers under my command, I have to think about them. Since you want me to surrender, you have to explain the current situation to me. ”

Hao Shaoqi's statement was reasonable, and Liu Neng also sat down, and he just stood up in anger and was just bluffing.

"So that Brother Hao can know that the situation in Daming is indeed critical now, and now the Tartars are attacking from two directions. Hou Ye led the Pingnan Army to defend Yangzhou, with Hou Ye's martial arts, the combat power of the Pingnan Army, the strong city as a basis, and the support of the entire Jiangbei 1100,000 people, there is no problem in holding Yangzhou and even defeating the East Road Manchurian.

However, the situation on the West Road is now extremely dangerous, Zuo Mengeng's 200,000 troops have surrendered, Jiujiang has been lost, and now only Wuhu City, which is guarded by the old marquis, is in front of Nanjing. ”

"Old Marquis, what are you talking about?" Hao Shaoqi hurriedly asked.

"Naturally, it is Hou Ye's father, Zhongyi Hou Chen Jianghe. Now the old marquis led 40,000 Beijing battalions to defend Wuhu alone, if the Mantars attack with all their might, I am afraid they will not be able to hold it for too long.

That's why I came to Wuchang to persuade Brother Hao to return to Ming. At present, the troops in Nanchang have been brought to Jiujiang by Yuan Jixian, and there is no support from Jiangxi Province at all, Huang Degong of Lujiang led his troops to Pukou, and the closest to Wuhu is Brother Hao's team.

As long as Brother Hao, you lead the army to Wuhu and help the old Hou Ye defend the city, and when the Hou Ye defeats the Qing army on the east road, he can wave his troops to support. ”

Liu Neng said and looked, and there was already a hint of pleading in his tone.

"It is reasonable to say that I should lead the troops to Wuhu, but Brother Liu, you also know that there are more than 30,000 people under my command, and they are all defeated troops of various departments, even if they can reach Wuhu, how much effect can they play in the face of the attack of hundreds of thousands of Qing troops?"

Hao Shaoqi is difficult, friendship is important, Hao Shaoqi now has to take more care about the future and safety of himself and his subordinates.

"Brother Hao, you are wrong, you have an army of 100,000 under your command, how can there be only 30,000 people?" Liu Neng suddenly laughed.

"Oh? How did I not know that I had so many troops under my command? Hao Shaoqi was almost angry, this Liu Neng is full of lies, and I don't know how much truth there is in his words?

"Brother Hao, in fact, it is a godsend for you now. Li Zicheng is dead, the Shun army is leaderless, you can wave your army eastward under the banner of revenge for Li Zicheng, and collect all the routs in the name of this along the way, and when you reach Jiujiang, maybe there will be 100,000 people! ”

Listening to Liu Neng's words, Hao Shaoqi suddenly realized, isn't it, now is the time to expand his strength, under the banner of attacking the Qing army to avenge Li Zicheng, there will be great righteousness, and he can justifiably collect the rout, and when he has an army of 100,000, if he can help the Ming Dynasty to hold the line and force the Qing army back, he will definitely be able to get a high-ranking official.
