Longtan River, a valley in Tianzhu Mountain, the terrain is dangerous, at this moment, a group of people and horses of Zhang Xianzhong's department gathered here, the number of about three or four thousand people, the leader is Liu Wenxiu's general Qi Sansheng, Qi Sansheng, a native of Jingyang, Shaanxi, is a member of Liu Wenxiu's general, nearly thirty years old, and Liu Wenxiu has a very good personal relationship.

Liu Wenxiu's departure made Zhang Xianzhong's department separated, and then there was the matter of Wang Xingguo, the three harriers, although Zhang Xianzhong was helpless, but for many people, Zhang Xianzhong's behavior of abandoning his generals at will made them feel cold, not to mention that Liu Wenxiu is Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son, Wang Xingguo is Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son, such an important person, Zhang Xianzhong did not frown when he gave up, not to mention those with low status?

Qi Sansheng and his gang took advantage of the chaos to leave the team privately, and they didn't want to be used as chess pieces by Zhang Xianzhong, so they escaped with the people of the headquarters and fled here.

"Right now, we have completely broken with the Eight Great Kings, even if we want to go back, we can't go back, what should we do next, you and I still have to discuss, I mean to go to General Liu, I don't know what you mean, Senior Brother?"

"Didn't we come out just to go to General Liu, needless to say, according to the previous sentry who came back to report that after General Liu was injured, he was sent to Heaven Village to recuperate, and we will go to Heaven Village!"

"Good! Since Brother Gao also agrees, then we will go to Tiantianzhai, but we have to send someone to ventilate before, see what it means over there, where General Liu is, and what the situation is, we don't know yet, and we still know the bottom line. ”

"Let's do it!"

Liu Wenxiu is still recuperating in Tiantianzhai at the moment, and Cao Bianjiao and Huang Degong are still chasing Zhang Xianzhong, shrinking the encirclement circle step by step, no matter how big Tianzhu Mountain is, Zhang Xianzhong is not alone, it is nearly 100,000, they still have traces to follow, in the past few days, Zhang Xianzhong's fallen behind people have been continuously captured by them, there are more than 2,000 people, but most of them are old and weak women and children, they really can't walk, so they have become their prisoners.

In the past few days, the Ming soldiers have been escorting prisoners and materials to Tiantianzhai to escort prisoners, materials and all kinds of booty, Liu Wenxiu also saw it, these are the materials that Zhang Xianzhong won all the way from Huguang to Huainan, killed King Xiang when he was in Xiangyang, and took all the materials left by Yang Sichang in Xiangyang, which was the armament of more than 100,000 people and horses, as well as the savings of King Xiang for a hundred years, were robbed by Zhang Xianzhong, all the way down, millions of taels of gold and silver, hundreds of carts of materials, silk, cloth, grain, and many more. Now it's all cheap, Cao Bianjiao, every day there are a large number of convoys back to the paradise village, and the seized materials are piled up into several hills.

Liu Wenxiu walked out of the camp tent with an injury, walking back and forth in the camp, moving his muscles and bones, lying on the bed for four or five days, people also felt sleepy, these years have not been so clean, almost all the time running and fighting, from Shaanxi to Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, Sichuan, half of the Ming Dynasty has been turned around, before coming out, never thought that the world of the Ming Dynasty is so big, and the place he went to is not the entire Ming Dynasty, just a small half of the west.

"General Cao ......" At this time, Liu Wenxiu saw Cao Wenyao, and nodded as a courtesy.

Cao Wenyao was in charge of guarding the rear, and when he saw Liu Wenxiu coming out for activities, he also smiled and said, "General Liu, the injury is not a big deal!" ”

"Thank you for your concern, the medical officer took good care of me, it's already a lot better, in a few days, when the meeting will be safe, I don't know when General Cao will join the division, these days I see that there are prisoners and supplies escorted back every day, it should be over!" Liu Wenxiu also asked curiously, no matter what, it was the team he had served for more than ten years before, and he still had some feelings, at least there were many of his old friends there.

"I don't know about this yet, and I haven't gotten any news, but it's time to think about it, and I heard the scout who came back say that he has found Zhang Xianzhong's traces and is pursuing......" Cao Wenyao didn't mean to hide it, and told Liu Wenxiu what he knew, Liu Wenxiu had already surrendered, and Cao Bianjiao had specially instructed him to treat Liu Wenxiu well, he is now his own person.

"Report ...... Two generals, there is one at the door, saying that it is General Liu's old department and wants to see General Liu! ”

"Let's go, go and see ......" Liu Wenxiu was also very surprised, in order to show his selflessness, he also dragged Cao Wenyao with him at the moment, so as not to make any suspicions when he got there, he had already embarked on the boat of Cao Bianjiao, so he naturally had to be honest with each other.

Liu Wenxiu and Cao Wenyao came to the front of the gate, Liu Wenxiu recognized the person at a glance, and he was also very excited at the moment.

"You are Qi Lao Liu, Qi Sansheng's deputy general, why did you come here?"

"General Liu, I was ordered to come to see the general, General Qi Sansheng and General Gao Chengen have already left the ranks of the Eight Kings, and they want to follow the general, but I am afraid that the general will not accept it, so let the little one come and find out what the general means!"

Liu Wenxiu also looked at Cao Wenyao at the moment, Cao Wenyao smiled and said: "This is a good thing, I think if Yanlong (Cao Bianjiao) is here, he will definitely agree, I can call the shots in this matter, let them come with peace of mind, and they will not be treated badly." ”

Hearing Cao Wenyao say this, Liu Wenxiu was also relieved, after all, he had just put into action, and in this he still had to follow Cao Wenyao's wishes, which involved a meaning of avoiding suspicion, who knows if these people really came to work, or came to listen to the truth, Liu Wenxiu also needs to bear a lot of responsibility.

"Sixth, you go back and tell Qi Sansheng and Gao Chengen, just say that General Cao is approved, let them come with confidence, as long as they are sincere and serve, General Cao will treat them well. Tell them that if they really serve the official army, then they must abide by General Cao's military orders and military discipline, and let them decide for themselves, I don't force them! ”

Liu Wenxiu still told a few words, these people are wandering all over the place, their temperament is wild, and they are not easy to manage, Liu Wenxiu can be cautious here, but since these people are his old department, then he has to be responsible for them, because these people are coming for him Liu Wenxiu, if they really can't bear it, then let them choose by themselves, and don't force them to join the official army.

"Little one got it!"

The next day, Qi Sansheng and Gao Chengen came to Paradise Village with their subordinates, Cao Wenyao and Liu Wenxiu received them, gave them proper arrangements, and acted in accordance with the rules and regulations made by Cao Bianjiao.
