In the face of such harsh conditions, Zhang Xianzhong really felt funny, these things, not that he couldn't take them out, this time he captured the land of Qihuang, he gained a lot, just a Chu Wangfu, he got millions of taels of silver, rich, and the gentry and wealthy families all over the country, all of them were robbed by Zhang Xianzhong, not to mention 500,000 taels, that is, two million taels, Zhang Xianzhong can also take it, but he also has to think about the consequences!

"Father-in-law, I can't promise them, Cao Bianjiao is too insidious and cunning, not enough to believe, if he wants to fight, then fight well, it's a big deal, I'll wait for the whole army, all rely on the words of my father-in-law, even if I die on the battlefield, I don't regret it, but I must not be calculated by him again!"

"Yes! No! ”

Zhang Xianzhong's several righteous sons were by his side, and when they heard Zhu Yujian say such harsh conditions, they felt that this was not cooperation, this was blackmail and insults, they were all bloody men, and they couldn't bear it.

"Shut up!" Zhang Xianzhong took the case and scolded, and everyone's shouts also stopped abruptly with Zhang Xianzhong's loud shout.

Zhang Xianzhong looked at these people, but also a helpless expression of hatred of iron and steel, in terms of combat, these people are all good hands, but what they lack is the brain, what is the current situation, they don't want to think about it, whether it is Cao Bianjiao or Li Zicheng, they will not let him go, the reason why they don't do it, is waiting for the opportunity, Li Zicheng has integrated hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, divided troops to occupy Jingzhou, Yiling, Jingmen, public security and other places, if he wants to go, he can only go through Yuezhou bypass, whether it is to Nanyue or Bashu, It's all like this, he can't beat Li Zicheng, so he can't go to the Yangtze River, now Cao Bianjiao is the chief soldier of Huguang, Hubei has been lost, Cao Bianjiao must go to Hunan, when Cao Bianjiao is there, Zhang Xianzhong really doesn't have much confidence that he can defeat Cao Bianjiao.

Once he sent troops to attack Hunan, the rear was empty, Zuo Liangyu would definitely not let go of such an opportunity to pick up cheap, when the time came, he would suffer from the enemy on his back, that would really be in danger, Zhang Xianzhong did intend to go to the land of Bashu, first of all, he knew the terrain there quite well, and he played there for a while, and the other is that the troops there are weak, if you occupy Sichuan, you don't need to spend much effort, the most important thing is that the terrain of Sichuan is favorable, he can completely divide one side, and it is okay to be a Liu Bei.

"Eight kings, money is something outside the body, over the years, the eight kings have traveled all over the world, I don't know how many benefits have been made, in the court, that is, cabinet ministers, there are many people who have received your benefits, and now give these to General Cao, it can be regarded as spending money to eliminate disasters, isn't it? If the two sides really fight to the death, what are your chances of winning? ”

In the face of Zhu Yujian's aggressiveness, how could Zhang Xianzhong not understand his intentions, spending money to buy his life, this is what Cao Bianjiao meant, Cao Bianjiao's affairs, he knows some, he is a loyal and good general, no less than his uncle Cao Wenzhao, originally thought that he was just a strong general, but he didn't expect that his resourcefulness was not bad, and he used soldiers not according to common sense, and he would suffer such a big loss last time.

"Good! I promised General Cao's cooperation, and I gave him all the things General Cao wanted at one time to show my sincerity, but before our army entered Sichuan, I asked Mr. to stay here for the time being, how about it? "Zhang Xianzhong is not a fool, Cao Bianjiao asked him for hostages, naturally he can follow suit, and he can no longer be calculated by Cao Bianjiao.

"Yes!" Zhu Yujian replied very happily, he had long expected such a scene, and he had been prepared, so he was very calm and not surprised.

Zhang Xianzhong nodded with satisfaction, this person must be very valued in Cao Bianjiao's army, but looking at this magnanimity and courage, it is not comparable to ordinary people, why is there no such person under his own hands, Zhang Xianzhong also regrets it.

"You are all my sons, and which of you is willing to go as hostages?" Zhang Xianzhong also knew that Cao Bianjiao would definitely be unwilling to send someone else, he could only be one of several righteous sons, fortunately, Liu Wenxiu was now in Cao Bianjiao's army, thinking of Liu Wenxiu's matter, Zhang Xianzhong regretted it again, why was he confused at the beginning, Liu Wenxiu was raised by him, and he would definitely not betray him, but he didn't expect to be played by Cao Bianjiao and lose a general.

"Father-in-law, go on, child!" Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son Li Dingguo stood up, not that he had to do it, he also knew that this trip was dangerous, but Zhang Xianzhong had the grace to raise him, he was willing to die for Zhang Xianzhong, at this time, someone must stand up and make a little sacrifice, rather than making Zhang Xianzhong embarrassed, it is better to take the initiative yourself.

"Dingguo, then you go, be careful, after I go over there, wait for me to apologize to Wenxiu, I misunderstood him at the beginning, I was sorry for him, and now he follows General Cao, and he has not insulted his talents, let him do a good job, if they meet on the battlefield in the future, there is no need to show mercy!"

Zhang Xianzhong also instructed Li Dingguo a few words, among several righteous sons, he is still the most knowledgeable, if he lets himself choose from them, the palms and backs of his hands are meat, he is really not decided, and now Li Dingguo took the initiative to stand up and ask for his life, which can be regarded as relieving him, Zhang Xianzhong is very satisfied with him.

In the afternoon of the same day, more than a dozen ships set off from Wuchang, these people did not go to war, but with the agreed gold and silver, to make a contract with Cao Bianjiao, now Zhu Yujian is in his hands, he does not believe that Cao Bianjiao will not care about the life and death of his own people and treacherous, then he can not bring a wolf soldier, this he is very confident.

When Cao Bianjiao got the news, he was also relieved, if Zhang Xianzhong was stubborn to the end, he really didn't know how to decide, after all, the most important thing for him at the moment was to preserve his strength to deal with Li Zicheng, if he was with Zhang Xianzhong, he was afraid that he would not have much strength to compete with Li Zicheng again, but fortunately, everything was going as smoothly as they expected.

"Under Li Dingguo, on the order of my father-in-law, come as a hostage, General Cao, these are the things you want, in order to show sincerity, my father-in-law handed them all over to the general at one time, I only ask the general to have the virtue of a good life in heaven, let us have a way to live, from now on, wherever the general goes, we will retreat to repay the general's kindness!"

"You are Li Dingguo, you are really a young hero! Okay, Ben Shuai is hard to chase, and he will not lose his trust Zhang Xianzhong, you stay for the time being, as long as Zhang Xianzhong acts according to the agreement, Ben Shuai will not embarrass him and you, Wenxiu, General Li will be taken care of by you, you are old acquaintances, there must be something to say! ”

"The last general obeys!" Liu Wenxiu was also happy to accept the order at the moment, Cao Bianjiao's move was undoubtedly a great trust in him, because if he had two hearts, he could escape with Li Dingguo, but Cao Bianjiao did not guard against him, and this trust made him very moved.

"Leave these ships behind, your people can just take a boat back, there is also a handwritten letter from me here, bring it back and hand it to Zhang Xianzhong, let them prepare to leave Wuchang within three days, I can wait, I'm afraid that Li Zicheng won't wait too long, let him do it himself!" Cao Bianjiao also said a few words to the deputy general of the guard, and then sent them away, and fished a few boats by the way, he didn't mind, no matter how small the ants were, they were still meat, and they would be able to see a little meat.
