Zhao Guohua said indifferently: "No need, we may be a family in the near future, you can listen to it by the way, so that we can return our opinions to the old leader Ma." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After speaking, he said to the guard: "Summoned the squadron leader and deputy squadron leader and other officers to the conference room for a meeting. ”

At the time of a cup of tea, the herald came in and raised his right hand, saluted and said, "Report to the captain, all the officers have come to the conference room, please move." ”

"Good! I'll be there right away. Zhao Guohua said and returned a military salute with his right hand raised.

Liu Xiyao asked curiously, "Captain Zhao, what are you doing with your right hand?" ”

"This is our military salute, we don't want to kowtow, everyone in my ranks, whether officers or soldiers, will salute when they see it."

The three of them followed Zhao Guohua to the conference room of the brigade headquarters, only to see that there was a long table in the conference room, two chairs on both sides, more than 20 officers had sat neatly on both sides of the table, each in front of a white magnetic water cup, as soon as the tea arrived, everyone was laughing, the herald shouted: "The captain arrives at the ......" Immediately, I saw that more than 20 officers had stood up neatly, raised their right hands, and said loudly: "All the officers of the Flying Tigers greet the captain." ”

Zhao Guohua walked to the middle of the table and said, "Please sit down." So, with a bang, everyone sat down together.

Seeing such a formation, He Yilong and the other three were shocked, and He Yilong said: "Damn, this style is really good, it looks better than the regular official army." ”

Liu Xiyao said in his heart: "This Zhao Guohua is indeed a person, at least he has never seen such a solemn and formal meeting ceremony in the peasant army, and he must be pulled to the fifth battalion of the revolutionary left no matter what." ”

After sitting down, Zhao Guohua said: "We have captured three county seats, and now we are facing heavy pressure from the officers and troops. Over there were the three representatives sent by the 5th Battalion of the Revolutionary Left. After speaking, he pointed to Liu Xiyao, He Yilong, Ma Bo and others sitting behind everyone.

Liu Xiyao, He Yilong, Ma Bo and others hurriedly got up and bowed their hands.

After listening to Zhao Guohua's words, he looked at the three of them again, everyone exploded, and after speaking in order, everyone finally formed two factions, one is to unite, and the other is to take refuge.

After listening to everyone's speeches, Zhao Guohua said: "United or defection, after the leader of the horse comes, everyone can ask about the conditions in detail, and I will listen to the opinions of most people at that time." ”

Out of the conference room of the brigade headquarters, Zhao Guohua said: "The night is long and the dream is many, you will take over the defense in three days......

Liu Xiyao and Ma Bo went back to Huoshan to see Lao Hui and Ma Shouying to report the results of the negotiations between the two sides, leaving He Yilong in Jinzhai County to wait for the team of the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo to receive the county seat of Jinzhai County.

In the Xingyuan of Wuchang Mansion, Xiong Wencan and his staff Liu Wencai were talking about the command and deployment of various armies.

Xiong Wencan said: "Since the old man governor of the five provinces of military affairs, the generals who listen to the tune around the country can basically obey the order, only Zuo Liangyu does not obey the order, slow action, push three and four do not cooperate, it is really annoying, Henan prison army eunuch urged Zuo Liangyu to enter the mountain to encircle and suppress the Liukou, Zuo Liangyu did not move, a few days ago Anqing was in a hurry, the old man ordered him to rescue Anqing, but the thief was indifferent to the old man's order, and went to Yunxian County to attack Zhang Xianzhong, the old man was eager to behead the thief. ”

"Zuo Liangyu is undisciplined, the military discipline of the officers and soldiers on the left is corrupt, and they are like bandits. Liu Wencai sighed.

In July of the ninth year of Chongzhen (1636), the left followed Zhang Xianzhong to occupy Xiangyang City, and the people in the city were stationed in the left army, and the left army wantonly ** The wives of the people are unspeakable, so that the people "do not hate the thief but hate the soldier"

After listening to Liu Wencai's words, Xiong Wencan said helplessly: "The old man doesn't know this person's jackal nature, but this person has a heavy army, and he is also a person who dares to fight. ”

Seeing Xiong Wencan's painful and helpless appearance, Liu Wencai said: "If the marshal wants to use his strengths, he can only go to Nanyang to supervise him in person." ”

"Alright! According to what Mr. said, the old man will go to Nanyang to meet Zuo Liangyu for a while. Xiong Wencan said angrily.

Liu Xiyao and Ma Bo returned to Huoshan to report the results of the negotiations with Zhao Guohua to the old man, and Ma Shouying said: "If Zhao Guohua is really willing to defect to us, it is not impossible for him to be the sixth battalion of the fifth battalion of the revolution." ”

Lin Chengcheng, the king of the world, said with a smile: "If this is the case, then we will change to the sixth battalion of the left in the future."

Zuo Jin Wang He Jin said: "I'm afraid that kid is just using us to tide over the current difficulties, and he doesn't really take refuge in us." ”

"He Zhao Guohua is only more than 10,000 people, and now he is willing to hand over Jinzhai County to us, we will occupy Jinzhai County, and then let him give up Macheng and Shangcheng County in the next step, and finally transfer his men and horses to our base camp in Ying, Huoshan District, where he is not familiar with the place, and there are more than 100,000 of us around, at that time he just wanted to regret it, and it is estimated that there is no way." Liu Xiyao, the king of the ruling world, said with a smile.

Listening to Liu Xiyao's words, He Jin scolded with a smile: "Lao Liu, you are too treacherous, Zhao Guohua was completely calculated by you......"

Lao Hui Ma Shouying said with a smile: "I hope that this Zhao Guohua is really willing to take refuge in our Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, so that he can keep the team and we will also strengthen our strength." After all, we are killing each other with them, and it is the official army and the government that benefit. ”

After everyone unified their opinions, Ma Shouying ordered: "Brother He Jin, you take 20,000 horses to start tomorrow afternoon, and accept Jinzhai County at noon the day after tomorrow, and the team will enter the city in batches when accepting, in order to prevent accidents, Liu Xiyao brothers and Ma Bo will take 20,000 people to follow up, if the acceptance goes well, Liu Xiyao brothers and Ma Bo will take people back to Huo County." ”

At noon on the third day, the 20,000 horses led by Zuo Jin Wang He Jin arrived at Jinzhai County, and after Zhao Guohua handed over the affairs of Jinzhai County, he took the team to Macheng County. Ge Li Yan He Yilong and Zuojin Wang He Jin talked for a while, then took their leave of the city, caught up with Liu Xiyao and Ma Bo, and the three of them returned to Huo County with the 20,000 horses that followed.

"Then Zhao Guohua really handed over Jinzhai County smoothly?" Ma Shouying asked happily.

"Yes! Big brother ......," said Liu Xiyao, the ruling king.

After thinking for a while, Ma Shouying said with a smile: "Brother Liu, just do as you say, you and He Yilong and Ma Bo work harder, just say that as long as he, Zhao Guohua, gives up another county seat, it will prove that he really wants to unite with us, and I will go to meet him." ”

Zhao Guohua has retreated to Macheng County, the three of them went to Macheng County again, found Zhao Guohua, and said the meaning of the old return, Zhao Guohua thought about it for a while, or despite the opposition of his subordinates, he gave up the mall county. Lao Hui Hui sent Lin Yangcheng, the king of the world, to bring 20,000 people to occupy the county seat of the mall.

Soon, Liu Xiyao, the king of the world, asked Zhao Guohua to give up Macheng County, this time Zhao Guohua was unwilling, he said unhappily: "Brother Liu, I have given up Jinzhai County and Mall County, and now you want us to give up Macheng County, and let go of Macheng County, where do we go?" ”

"Brother, please forgive me, this is the opinion of the elder brother Huihui, he thinks that you have few troops, and you are tired of capturing several county towns in a row, so I suggest that you take your troops to Yingshan and Huoshan to rest for a while, and then come out after you rest for two or three months, then you can use any two of the three county towns you want." Liu Xiyao, the king of the ruling world, said with a sincere smile.

Listening to Liu Xiyao's words, Zhao Guohua paced in the room and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Since this is the case, I also agree, but I am afraid that the officers under my command will not figure it out, since it is the meaning of the old brother Huihui, then please go back and report to him, let him come to Macheng County in person, and explain his meaning to my subordinates in detail, so that I can act." ”

Seeing that Zhao Guohua agreed to give up Macheng County, Liu Xiyao was very happy, looking at Zhao Guohua, he smiled on his face, but he said in his heart: "Don't look at you Zhao Guohua is good at leading troops and fighting, but playing with your heart, you are still a little worse, and when you arrive in Ying and Huoshan Districts, it will not be a union but a refuge." ”

He Yilong and Ma Bo saw that Liu Xiyao persuaded Zhao Guohua to agree to give up Macheng County, and the two couldn't help but give Liu Xiyao a thumbs up with a smile on their faces.

Zhao Guohua had already seen the joy of the three of them, and he pretended not to see it and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, I really want to unite with Brother Lao Huihui, so I agreed to give up the two county seats, and as soon as this Macheng is given up in a few days, I will have no place to stand, so I hope that Brother Lao Hui will come to Macheng to relieve the concerns in the hearts of my soldiers." ”

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, our Fifth Battalion of Gezuo will not lie to you, the three of us must report your concerns to Brother Ma when we go back, and let him come to Macheng to meet you in person." He Yilong patted his chest and said.

At this time, Ma Bo also stepped forward and said with a smile: "Captain Zhao, when my father meets you, we will be a family, and you will have to send me some of the flying thunder that will explode at that time." ”

"No problem, when the time comes, I will hand over the technology of making flying thunder to you, and you can make as many as you want." Zhao Guohua said with a cheerful smile.

Liu Xiyao heard Ma Bo talk about the flying thunder for the first time, and He Yilong had heard Ma Bo talk about the power of the flying thunder, so He Yilong said: "Brother Zhao, last time I heard Ma Bo's nephew say that your flying thunder is powerful, but I haven't seen it, now can you let us open our eyes?" ”
