Zhang Mengcheng originally planned to go to the big tent to find his eldest brother, but when he arrived at the place, he found that the meeting of Shen Yikui and other leaders had ended, and his eldest brother did not know where to go at this time. So Zhang Mengcheng went to his eldest brother's tent to look for it, but still didn't find his eldest brother Zhang Mengjin.

So Xiucai decided to change his goal and go to his second brother Zhang Mengguang to have a good chat first. But he was only halfway away, and he was found by Guan Zhiqing on the way, and he was directly pulled to Ma Xiangbo's tent. Zhang Mengcheng found out at this time that it was not only his eldest brother Zhang Mengjin, but also his second brother Zhang Mengguang, and other leaders of Jinding Mountain were meeting here.

When Zhang Mengjin saw his third brother arrive, he stopped chatting with other leaders and directly started a small meeting of the brothers in Jinding Mountain. He first asked Zhang Mengcheng to sit down, and then he said to his leaders.

"Shen Yikui has already distributed all the equipment harvested in this battle, and our village has taken the lion's share because of its considerable efforts. But let's not worry about these for now, Shen Yikui plans to take a large group of people to Qingyang Mansion to eat, and some other leaders take some of the men and horses to the east and south to harass, let's go with Shen Yikui this time. If the imperial court decides to recruit An, and the conditions offered are okay, then we will be appeased directly. But if the imperial court dissatisfies us, then we will directly take down Qingyang Mansion. ”

"It's finally time for this, I think we'd better go straight to Qingyang Mansion. Rob him first, even if the court didn't give us any official status after that, we can also make a lot of silver, which is worthy of the life we have lived in the past few years. ”

Yu Baocheng was very happy, although he broke the two fingers of his left hand, but he also saw it very openly. What made him regret was not his own injury, but the fact that the enemy in the security city had been hacked to death by others when he found him.

Wei Heyong also said: "It just so happens that I also want to see what good things are in this Qingyang Mansion." We'll have to take some back to the stockade. ”

Wei Heyong's relatives and friends in the security guards have all gone to Jinding Mountain with the relatives of the other leaders a long time ago, so he has no nostalgia and concern for the security guards.

The other leaders all expressed their opinions in a gossipy, and Ma Xiangbo, with the assistance of his younger brother, turned to Zhang Mengcheng and said, "Meng Cheng, do you think the imperial court will recruit us with peace, when will it send someone to recruit us, and what conditions will it give us?" ”

Zhang Mengcheng had already thought about these questions, and saw that the other leaders were looking at him. Zhang Mengcheng didn't hang on to other people's appetites, and said directly.

"Now the surrounding officials and troops have little strength to deal with us at the moment, I estimate that we should have about twenty days to attack the city everywhere, which is enough time for us to conquer Qingyang Mansion City. Yang He, the governor of the three sides of the imperial court, has no one left at hand, and in order to ensure that things don't continue to get bigger, he should send someone to recruit us during this time. As for the conditions, I don't dare to look too high. Because we are now nominally Shen Yikui's subordinates, Shen Yikui may be able to get a garrison, and the eldest brother will probably be a general. ”

Zhang Mengcheng's speculation is simple and clear, and it is the conclusion he has reached from close observation during this time. It's just that in the final inference of what benefits Jin Dingshan can get, the other leaders present are a little disappointed with Zhang Mengcheng's inference, and at the same time think that Zhang Mengcheng's inference is too conservative.

"What, it's just a general, I thought it was at least a garrison, why is the court so stingy. Let's see that we should continue to make trouble, it's a big deal to repel a few more officers and soldiers, and take a few more cities, anyway, these officers and troops actually have nothing to do with it. Zhou Shaoteng took the lead in expressing his thoughts on Zhang Mengcheng's inference, he thought that this condition was too low and not worthy of everyone's recruitment.

"I said Xiucai, did you guess wrong, now under Shen Yikui's hands and us, there are more than 5,000 people and horses who can fight. With so many people, even the chief soldier can be a soldier, and it doesn't matter if the court doesn't give a general now. Even the guerrilla general didn't give it, but just gave it a garrison. Could this be too low, could it be that Shen Yikui is worse than that Zheng Zhilong in the south. ”

He Zongwei also didn't believe it, after all, he was from the official army. The men and horses under the general deputy general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty may not be comparable to the subordinates of the gods. Even if they are recruited, they will not just give a guard.

Che Jibao also felt that this condition was a bit unreliable, and he thought that Zhang Mengcheng was too conservative. "Yes, Xiucai, the total is too low. No matter how you say it, it should be a thousand presidents, you think about it again. ”

After hearing Zhang Mengcheng's words, the others felt a little unagreeable, and they spoke one after another to express their views. But Zhang Zhaoen's words at this time startled everyone present.

"That's right, I think we'll continue to mess around. Don't talk about Qingyang Mansion, let's take down Xi'an Mansion as well. After occupying the dragon qi of Xi'an, let's be the emperor ourselves. We will simply slaughter the goods together, and an outsider in the province will share the bargain in our hands. ”

Zhang Zhaoen didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, he only felt that the officials and soldiers were all a bunch of wine bags and rice bags. Even the god who was close at hand didn't pay attention to it, he was simply stupid. So after he said this, he immediately slapped his eighth uncle Zhang Mengjin with a cigarette.

"Eggs, there's no one around." After Zhang Mengjin cleaned up Zhang Zhaoen, he hurriedly asked Li Dan, who was carefully guarding outside the tent.

"Don't worry, big boss, there is no outsider now." After Li Dan heard his eldest brother's inquiry, he immediately answered.

Zhang Mengjin, who received Li Dan's reply, breathed a sigh of relief, and he scolded his nephew: "You can't care about your cheap mouth, if you talk nonsense again, I will directly stuff a piece of horse manure into it, and see what nonsense you can pull out then." ”

"You use your brains to speak, and you owe it to clean up, right?" The second brother Zhang Mengguang also kicked Zhang Zhaoen after his eldest brother. Zhang Zhaoen saw that the two uncles were angry, so they closed their mouths and stopped talking.

Among the other leaders present, there were also a few people who looked a little embarrassed. Although what Zhang Zhaoen said was indeed a bit brainless, they actually wanted to say it, but they didn't dare to say it.

Seeing that the scene was a little embarrassing, Zhang Mengjin motioned to his third brother to continue talking, and he started smoking again. Zhang Mengcheng got the signal from his eldest brother, and naturally began to explain.

"In the eyes of the imperial court, we are indeed not as noble as Zheng Zhilong in the south. And as far as I know, we are indeed not as strong as Zheng Zhilong was at the beginning. At present, we are making such a big move, or because the defense of Shaanxi is empty now, and Wang Jiayin, who has a river meander, in the east, has attracted the attention of the officials and soldiers. Even if we make further trouble, when the court frees up its hands, it is sure that it will easily destroy us. ”
