"Thank you, big brother! Thank you, big brother! Shi Dabiao thanked again and again.

Swallowing saliva and looking at the plump white and greasy dancing girl with the name ** Mei, Shi Dabiao was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to take her back to be happy immediately.

At this time, another shrewd leader with a hint of civility on his face said: "Luo Shuai, since we know that Zhang Xianzhong has surrendered to Xiong Wencan, why do we have to turn back to this Junzhou?" And still stay here and don't leave? ”

This person's name is Yan Youde, and he is also a confidant general under Luo Rucai.

Smiling, Luo Rucai said: "Brother Yan, our army was originally active in Junzhou and Yunyang, but I heard that the whole army of the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo was surrendered by Xiong Wencan, in order to avoid Xiong Wencan's troops, I originally wanted to go to Shaanxi to meet Li Zicheng, but I was blocked all the way along the way, and I didn't know Li Zicheng's detailed station, and if I went further, I would not fall into the encirclement of the official army, and after thinking about it for a while, I decided to return to Junzhou, we are familiar with this Junzhou, and it is not easy for the official army to destroy us, as for me to stay here and not leave, Just because I inquired about something. ”

"What's the matter?" Yan Youde asked.

Luo Rucai smiled slightly, and said mysteriously: "Zhang Jingxuan sent a lot of gold and silver to Xiong Wencan, so Xiong Wencan not only accepted Zhang Jingxuan's surrender, but also let him keep the army, you said such a good thing, why don't we follow suit." ”

"Kept the army? Isn't that the same as not surrendering? Can't this Xiong Wencan see the mystery in this? Yan Youde said in surprise.

Hehe smiled, Luo Rucai said: "I know what Zhang Jingxuan's idea is in his heart, it's just to preserve his strength and make a comeback, since he Zhang Jingxuan can do that, I Luo can also do that, and when Xiong Wencan's army arrives in Yunyang, I will send someone over to ask for surrender." ”

Half a month later, Luo Rucai surrendered Xiong Wencan in Yunyang, compared to Zhang Xianzhong, Xiong Wencan still let Luo Rucai retain his team, of course, the price Luo Rucai paid was 300,000 taels of silver.

Since hearing about the surrender of Liu Guoneng and Luo Rucai, the hearts of Li Zicheng's peasant army have fluctuated, and many people have begun to flee secretly. In order to boost morale, in August of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng, Guo Tianxing, Chaotianxing Zhang Dashou and other more than a dozen peasant armies captured Congqinzhou, rested for a period of time, in October of that year, Li Zicheng, Guo Tianxing, Chaotianxing and other troops set out from the Qinzhou area, via Huizhou, Luoyang, and marched to Hanzhong.

"Your Excellency the Governor, Li Zicheng, Guo Tianxing, Chaotianxing and other troops are marching to Hanzhong via Huizhou and Luoyang." An officer came in to report the military situation to Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, who was reading a book.

Hong Chengchou, the word Yanyan, the number Hengjiu, is a native of Yingdu, Nan'an, Quanzhou, Fujian Province (now Xiamei, Liangshan Village, Yingdu Town). Famous ministers in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. In the forty-fourth year of Wanli (1616), he was a scholar of Jinshi, tired of officials to participate in politics in Shaanxi, and when Chongzhen was an official to the military department of Shangshu and the governor of Jiliao, he was captured by the Qing Dynasty after the defeat of the Battle of Songjin, and then surrendered to become a bachelor of the Han Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty. In April 1644 (the first year of Shunzhi), he entered the customs with the Qing army. After arriving in Beijing, he was given the title of Prince Taibao, the Secretary of the Military Department and the Right Deputy Imperial History, and was listed as the assistant of the Inner Court.

Hong Chengchou advocated Confucian scholarship and put forward opinions on the Shunzhi Emperor's disbelief in Confucius and Mencius, laying the foundation for the confluence of the Manchu and Han dynasties. For the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou's contribution to the imperial court was great, and it can be said that there was no one else except Dolgon and Fan Wencheng.

Hong Chengchou managed the army well, suppressed the peasant uprisings and won victories one after another, captured and killed Gao Yingxiang, and defeated Li Zicheng many times, so he sang loudly and called Hong Chengchou's army "Hong Army".

Listening to the military situation reported by his officers, Hong Chengchou was very surprised, but on the surface he was very calm, he looked at the map and asked, "Is there a team of officers and soldiers near Hanzhong?" ”

"General Cao Bianjiao's team is two hundred miles away from Hanzhong, cooperating with Sun Chuanting's deputy general Luo Shangwen to encircle and suppress Shaanxi's Liukou, the Four Heavenly Kings Li Yangchun, and the Chuang Heavenly King Gao Yingdeng." A staff member said.

Hong Chengchou was overjoyed when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Okay, God help me." The fast flying pigeon sent a message to General Cao, ordering him to lead troops to intercept the Liukou, and he must not let the Liukou occupy Hanzhong. ”

After Cao Bianjiao, who was encircling and shooting Li Wanqing, received a message from Hong Chengchou's flying pigeon, in order to avoid misunderstanding, he sent someone to inform Luo Shangwen of the reason for his withdrawal, and then led his troops to Hanzhong on a rapid march, and finally arrived in Zheng County, south of Hanzhong Prefecture two days later, and quietly entered at night.

On September 26, after a long march, Li Zicheng and other troops came to Nanzheng County, looking at the sparse and panicked defenders on the city wall, Hui Dengxiang smiled and said: "Brother Li, looking at the panicked appearance of those defenders on the city wall, you know that these dog officers didn't expect us to appear here at all, you can really pinch and calculate." ”

"This way, but tired Lao Tzu, this Nanzheng County is the capital of Hanzhong Mansion, there is a lot of money and food, and there are many beauties, and when I attack it, Lao Tzu wants to find a few beauties to relax and relax." Chaotian Star Zhang Da said excitedly.

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, when you get in, you can relax as much as you want, as long as your body can bear it." ”

"Hahahaha......" everyone burst into laughter......

After everyone laughed, Li Zicheng said: "The soldiers are fast, I think we should attack the city quickly." It was a bad thing to be driven by the nearby officers and soldiers. ”

"That's what Brother Li said. Let's give the order for the siege. Whitden said approvingly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! The loud drum beat up......

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ......"Tens of thousands of horses, armed with swords and guns, carried rudimentary siege ladders, and shouted towards a huge wave and rushed towards the city walls.

"General, the rogues are rushing over." A hopeful officer gasped and ran over to give a report.

Cao Bianjiao had already ambushed the team at the head of the city, and naturally saw the brigade of rogues rushing over, and after listening to the words of the officer, he just said: "Don't be impatient, wait for the rogue to get closer before attacking." ”

The officers and soldiers were silently ambushed.

After a while, the officer reported again: "General, the rogues have begun to climb the city. ”

The probe took a sneak peek and saw that the city was densely packed with rogues, and Cao Bianjiao shouted, "Release arrows, throw stones ......"

Immediately, the arrows and stones rained down, and the peasant army was caught off guard and defeated with heavy casualties.

Looking at the dead and wounded everywhere under the city, and the banner of "Cao" Zizi flying high on Chengtou Mountain, Li Zicheng sighed and said: "It is Cao Bianjiao in the city, it seems that we are a step late, with Cao Bianjiao's army defending the city here, our plan to capture Hanzhong cannot be realized." ”

Since they could not take Hanzhong, Li Zicheng, Guo Tianxing and other leaders began to discuss the direction of the next march.

"Brother Li, since there is no hope in this Hanzhong, where do we go next?" Chaotian Star Zhang Dashou asked, his left hand still hanging from the gauze. Just now, in order to enter Nanzheng County to enjoy the beauties earlier, he led the team to rush ahead, if it weren't for his quick eyes, he grabbed a soldier and blocked a few sharp arrows shot at him, and the shot was not his left hand, maybe it would be a corpse at this time.

"Yes, this dog's Cao Bianjiao is too cunning, and he actually led the team to ambush in Nanzheng County silently, killing Lao Tzu unguarded." Whitden said indignantly.

After looking at the dejected leaders, Li Zicheng said: "Brothers, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, there is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here, since Cao Bianjiao is in Hanzhong, we will avoid him and find another way." ”

Guo Tianxing Hui Dengxiang said: "What Brother Li said is good, but where should we go?" ”

"Double Happiness, bring me the map." Li Zicheng commanded loudly.

Li Shuangxi took out the map of Daming from his bag and handed it over.

took the map and spread it on the table, Li Zicheng looked at it carefully, he thought while reading: "This Shaanxi can't continue to stay any longer, otherwise it will be troublesome to be surrounded by officials and soldiers, and you have to find a place to rest for a while, but where to go there There is Hong Chengchou to the west and north, and Xiong Wencan to Henan to the east, and Henan is also dilapidated after war, and it is not good." ”

His gaze turned to the south, and the word "Sichuan" jumped into his eyes.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, he slammed the table with a "bang": "Let's go to Sichuan." ”

"To Sichuan?" Whitden asked.

At this time, Gu Junen spoke again, and he said approvingly: "King Chuang is right. Sichuan has a large population, fertile fields for thousands of miles, abundant products, known as the country of abundance, and there are Qinling Mountains in the north, three Gorges in the east, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Han Gaozu became an emperor because of it, Liu Bei of the Three Kingdoms, Wang Jian of the Five Dynasties, Meng Zhixiang all established the country in this place, and was dominant, this place is very suitable for the development of our righteous army, and our army has been to Sichuan, familiar with the road, the Sichuan army is weak, it is difficult to stop our army from entering Sichuan, after our army enters Sichuan, even if it gets rid of the pressure of Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou, as long as it is managed well in Sichuan, after taking Hanzhong in the north and going east to Jingxiang, it will be able to achieve a meritorious service. ”

"That's right! Gu Junshi is right, that's what I mean. Li Zicheng said with a smile.

After thinking about it for a while, Hui Dengxiang, the star of the sky, and Zhang Dashou, the star of Chaotian, also nodded again and again, and Hui Dengxiang said: "Let's go to Sichuan and kill Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou who are angry with him." ”

"Without further ado. We will march to Sichuan tomorrow. Li Zicheng ordered.

After recruiting Liu Guoneng and Luo Rucai, all that is left in the Central Plains and Jianghuai is a few small fish and shrimp, just hand them over to your subordinates to clean up, and it is worth commanding them personally.

With such an idea, Xiong Wencan lived in Yunyang for more than a month, and in this more than a month, Luo Rucai did his best to feast Xiong Wencan and his generals every day, and also gave each of the generals two beauties, Xiong Wencan sent five beauties, singing and dancing, and wine banquets in one go, so that Xiong Wencan and his generals were almost reluctant to leave.

More than a month later, Xiong Wencan returned to Wuchang Mansion with a team of 2,000 personal soldiers.

"The plague god surnamed Xiong has finally been sent away." Sent Xiong Wencan away and returned to Yunyang City, Luo Rucai said coldly.
