"Master, I didn't expect this Zhao Manzi to have this shit luck, I thought that we asked him to take the volunteer team to assist the official army to encircle and suppress the Liukou to send him to death, but he actually made a great contribution, from the volunteer team to the Ming Loyal Warrior Team, and now his ** loyal team has become a formal court official army, and the emperor also gave him the name of the Ming Loyal Protector Army, this time, we can't do anything about him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yang Fu said indignantly.

Listening to Yang Fu's words, Yang Degui put down the wine glass in his hand and sighed helplessly.

Like a dog with a broken tail, gritting his teeth and walking back and forth in the house with a gloomy face, he said: "People are not as good as the sky, and they can't count this Zhao Manzi to have this blessing, if they knew so, it would be better to leave him in Ji'an ......" After speaking, he sandwiched the beef, put it in his mouth and chewed hard, as if he was chewing the meat on Zhao Guohua's body.

Seeing this, Yang Fu said: "Master, are we going to let this Zhao Manzi sit big?" ”

Swallowing the meat in his mouth, Yang Degui said: "The people don't fight with officials, now this Zhao Manzi is already loyal to the Protector Army, how can I fight with him, if I want to fight with him, I can only be a big official." In the front time, in order to make Rui'er promote faster, I went to Beijing to visit my old colleagues, and I saw that many people were in contact to get Shoufu Wen Tiren out of power and help Zhou Tingru up, so I took 100,000 taels of silver, I think after Zhou Tingru came to power, he would repay me. ”

"Master, when you become an official, you must not let Zhao Manzi have a good time. Once you have a chance to fix him, kill him. Yang Rui said hatefully.

Yang Degui sneered and twisted his beard and said, "Wait." There will be this day. ”

According to Zhao Guohua's arrangement, Zhang Shun went to Jinggangshan after arranging the affairs of Mingfeng Village and the chemical workshop. Wang Hu, Liu Youtian, Lu Qing and others had already reorganized their teams and were about to go down the mountain, when they saw Zhang Shun coming, Lu Qing enthusiastically introduced: "This is the captain of the August 1 Commando of the National Protector Army, Captain Zhang Shun, the August 1 Commando is the most elite team of the National Protector Army, and it can be a hundred." Hearing this, the big leader Wang Hu and others knew that this person was the confidant general of the governor Zhao Guohua, so they were even more polite to Zhang Shun, which made Zhang Shun a little embarrassed.

"Big brother, Captain Zhang, our brothers have met, and there will be more opportunities to be intimate together in the future, are you going to set off now, I'm afraid of delaying the governor's affairs." Lu Qing smiled politely and said to the two.

"Good! Let's go, let's go, we will be officers and soldiers in the future......" said the big leader Wang Hu, laughing.

After arranging Zhang Xianzhong's affairs and resting in Gucheng for more than ten days, Xiong Wencan led the army to Suizhou, where Liu Guoneng's peasant army was located.

In the early years, there was a great drought in Shaanxi, and the people were not able to make a living. In the third year of Chongzhen, he led his troops to cross the river to the east, entered Shanxi, and plundered the lands of Jinan and Hebei. In the winter of the sixth year of Chongzhen, he invaded Henan, from the inner countryside and Xichuan to the south of Huguangyun and Xiang, and broke through several county towns along the way. Chongzhen entered Sichuan in the first month of the seventh year, attacked Kuizhou, turned east, entered Yunyang, Hubei, and was defeated by the governor Chen Qiyu. Liu Guoneng led the people to retreat to Hannan, was trapped in the Chezhou Gorge, had to surrender by fraud, had to re-raise the banner of righteousness after getting off, and then entered Henan, entrenched in the north of the Jiangbei, the Ming army crusaded, Liu Guoneng was defeated, and avoided in the Shangluo Mountain.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, he and Li Zicheng, Scorpion Block and other troops moved from Yunyang and Xiangyang to Xing'an and Hanzhong, and the governor Hong Chengchou was ordered to crusade, exhausted, Liu Guoneng went south to Jing and Xiang, and fought with Qin Yiming, the chief soldier under Qin Liangyu, who was the commander of Shizhu Xuanfu. In the winter of the same year, the 17th battalion with the scorpion block and others entered the Tongguan Pass, but because the governor Sun Chuanting was very tightly guarded, he retreated and advanced to the south. Chongzhen went straight to Jiangbei in the year, was invited by the Ming army several times, retreated to Huangpi, and then entered Henan, defeated the general Li Chungui, and threatened Kaifeng.

"Marshal, Xiong Wencan's army is coming towards us, what should we do?" Liu Guoneng's leader said in horror.

In order to appear majestic, Liu Guoling made his subordinates call himself handsome.

The news of Xiong Wencan's surrender of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution and Zhang Xianzhong has spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and naturally Liu Guoneng's subordinates also know about it

In their hearts, their fear of Xiong Wencan has exceeded their fear of Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou.

"What's the panic? Haven't you come to Suizhou yet? Liu Guoneng reprimanded.

At this time, a tall and strong black man in his thirties said loudly: "Dashuai, I don't think there is anything to be afraid of this Xiong Wencan, give me 30,000 horses, and I will kill him and come back." "This person's name is Zhao Dahu, skilled in martial arts, tall and powerful, there are few opponents among the generals under Liu Guoneng, and he is very flamboyant in doing things for others.

Glancing at him, Liu Guoneng said: "Brother Zhao, I know that you are strong in martial arts, but this battle mainly relies on resourcefulness, the strength of the fifth battalion of the old Hui Revolution is not worse than ours, and Zhang Xianzhong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but now these people have surrendered Xiong Wencan, do you say that Xiong Wencan has no ability, can he do this?" ”

"This, this is also ......," Zhao Dahu scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

Liu Guoneng looked at the twenty or so subordinate leaders sitting in the room, only to see that some of them were in a daze, some were frightened, and some were waiting for their own ideas, sighed, and said: "Everyone, in this Jianghuai and Central Plains region, only we are left in the current climate of the rebel army, and the fifth battalion of the old Hui Gezuo and the eighth king Zhang Xianzhong have been surrendered by Xiong Wencan, and now Xiong Wencan is leading troops to rush to us, and we will soon arrive in Suizhou, what should we do?" Is it a battle or a surrender? ”

Listening to his words, everyone talked about it, some said they wanted to fight, some said they wanted to surrender, looking at this chaotic scene, Liu Guoneng sat on the tiger skin chair and thought about it, he thought: "Isn't this Ming Dynasty's qi exhausted?" How could there be such a powerful Xiong Wencan, all of a sudden the fifth battalion of the left and the eight kings Zhang Xianzhong were wiped out, and now the top number of the platoon is only Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and himself, Li Zicheng was besieged by Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou in Shaanxi, it is difficult to say whether he can survive it, Luo Rucai is swaying, and he can't say when he will surrender to the government, his own men and horses are not stronger than the fifth battalion of the left, and he can't stop Xiong Wencan's attack. ”

Although he had made a decision in his heart, he still wanted to hear the opinions of his subordinates, so he continued to sit and listen to everyone's discussion silently.

After an hour of incense, a man who looked like a scribe stood up and said, "Commander, let me have my own opinion." ”

This person's name is Zhang Shilin, thirty years old, is a showman, his wife was ruined by a landlord's son in the township after jumping into the well and committed suicide, in a fit of anger he voted for a bandit in the nearby mountains, leading the bandits to destroy the landlord's family, and later with this bandit voted Liu Guoneng, because he is literate and hyphenated, and knows a little about the art of war, so he is also a character who shakes a goose feather fan under Liu Guoneng's account.

"Mr. Zhang, please speak." Liu Guoneng said politely

Arching his hand to the people in the room, Zhang Shilin said: "You are all heroes and heroes, all these years with the marshal to block the west and kill, isn't the picture just to live a good life after following the marshal, but now there is a Xiong Wencan in the government who is more difficult to deal with than Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou, the fifth battalion of the left and the eighth king Zhang Xianzhong have been destroyed by him, and now this Xiong Wencan has personally led the army to press us, with our strength, we can't deal with him at all, rather than waiting for him to destroy us, it is better for us to take the initiative to surrender and strive for a good result." ”

After listening to Zhang Shilin's words and looking around at the subordinates in the room, Liu Guoneng said: "What do you have any opinions about what Mr. Zhang said?"

"We listen to the big handsome, and the big handsome will do what he says." The leaders replied.

After being silent for a while, Liu Guoneng raised his head and said, "Since you say so, then I have decided to surrender Xiong Wencan." ”

After speaking, he glanced at everyone and saw that no one objected, so he shouted: "Mr. Zhang, please write a letter and tell Xiong Wencan what I mean." ”

"Okay. Subordinates write this. After speaking, Zhang Shilin found a pen and paper and wrote.

It was quickly written, handed to Liu Guoneng, looking at the black calligraphy, Liu Guoneng's head sweated, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, you know that I can't read, or you read it." ”

Accepting the letter with a smile, Zhang Shilin read aloud: "The foolish Liu Guoneng has been trapped in injustice for ten years, and Lai Gonghao has been rehabilitated. I wish all of you to join the military and do your best. ”

"Hmm. Although the words are a bit unpleasant, since they are surrendered, there is no need to worry about these false names. When Xiong Wencan's army comes, Mr. Zhang will go on my behalf. Liu Guoneng said

"Subordinates obey." Zhang Shilin bowed down and agreed.

A few days later, Zuo Liangyu's army first reached the city of Suizhou. Because he hated Zuo Liangyu deeply, Xiong Wencan asked Zuo Liangyu's army to be the vanguard of the army and let him fight with the rogues to achieve the purpose of consuming his strength.

Seeing that Zuo Liangyu's army had arrived, Liu Guoneng knew that Zuo Liangyu was also controlled by Xiong Wencan, so he sent Zhang Shilin to Zuo Liangyu to ask for surrender, and Zuo Liangyu accepted Liu Guoneng's surrender.

Another day passed, Xiong Wencan also came to Suizhou with a large group of people.
