Chapter 412: The Ambition of the Central Plains

"Hopefully, you've done a good job," Zhang Xianzhong came up first and patted him on the shoulder, but soon changed his face and said, "But now that I am ranked as the general of Liaodong Kingdom, I should change the title of my father-in-law when I was in the righteous army in the future."

"Yes, righteousness...... Oh no, General. Zhang Kewang didn't know what he was feeling in his heart, but he could clearly perceive that Zhang Xianzhong at this moment seemed to be a different person, and he was no longer the kind of anxious and righteous person in the past.

Not to mention that for the sake of his own future and power, he was able to attack the old leather camp He Yilong, who was friendly with the Eight Kings period, this person, once he fell into the big net of power and illusory preparation, he would change!

At least at this moment, Zhang Xianzhong is trying to unify the dream of the righteous army, if he can completely control the hundreds of thousands of righteous army, then the world is so big, there may not be a place for him Zhang, and in the future, he can still be mixed into the Ninety-Five Supreme.

"Pass on the general's order, cut off the head of the bandit leader He Yilong, and send it to the generalissimo for merit." Zhang Xianzhong commanded loudly, he didn't care about the so-called sadness of the rabbit and the fox under him, after all, now is the beginning of his soaring, compared to the previous unsettled residence by the official army, with Kong Youde, at least he can incorporate other rebel armies, and sooner or later he will be able to succeed!

"Yes!" Zhang Kewang dispelled other distracting thoughts in his mind, and thought with a wry smile in his heart, his future is uncertain now, and he can make do with Zhang Xianzhong, if he changes people, he may be able to use himself as cannon fodder, so he listened to the order and went to prepare.

There were more than 200 people, and none of He Yilong's dead soldiers escaped, almost attacking at the ambush place in front, and those cronies of the Eight Great Kings who were mixing in the middle of these dismounted cavalry were also suddenly attacked, and none of the soldiers and horses of the old leather battalion who could not be caught off guard escaped.

Even if there are those who react faster and take out their weapons to resist, but it will not help, after all, they are alone, and the soldiers and horses of the eight kings who are twice as large as them are not only well prepared, but also suddenly attacked, so that these people did not react at all, and they were cut down to the ground, this is simply a one-sided massacre, and the soldiers and horses of the old leather battalion were killed after resisting for a few moments.

"Collected the heads of these people, took their armor and weapons, especially don't leave the war horses, let's go back!" Zhang Kewang and Zhang Nengqi (also known as Ai Nengqi, also one of Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons) led their troops to inspect the battlefield, and saw that no one escaped, so they ordered loudly.

……

"Hmph, thanks to these centaurs, they didn't go to me, otherwise, I'm afraid I would be the one who bears this notoriety." Li Zicheng was in the southeast, and when he heard the movement in the west, he sneered and said,

"Yes, He Yilong is one of the leaders of our rebel army, even if he is desperate at this time, we should let him go if we miss the old love, but the eight kings of the past are now the generals of Liaodong Kingdom, and they are no longer the rebels who can fight against the imperial court together in the past." Li Guo also smiled bitterly,

The rest of the Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang and others around them were silent, after all, they were all from the righteous army, and they were not happy to see He Yilong die.

"Damn the Eight Kings, for the sake of a mere future, they assassinated their own brothers, and I guess where they are now repaying their merits to Kong Youde, what a treacherous villain, why didn't you see it in the past." Liu Fangliang, who said this, was angry, after all, long before that, Li Zicheng discussed with them, if He Yilong took this road, they would let him go, after all, he used to be a faction of the righteous army, but he didn't expect He Yilong to go to the southwest, and it seemed that he was preparing to return to Henan.

"King Chuang, it is the destiny of heaven to die, he can't be forced, if he comes to the southeast and bumps into us, he can still live, but unfortunately he is destined to go west." Gu Junen, as Li Zicheng's strategist, took Li Laiheng to the front to look at the movement just now, and saw the shouts of killing in the west, so he knew that he was going to suffer, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything about it.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this bird, let's go back to the camp, there are only Tian Jianxiu and Yuan Zongdi in the camp to lead the troops to guard, I really don't feel at ease." Li Zicheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, anyway, everything happened, what else could he do, at most, be careful to watch out for Zhang Xianzhong and others in the future.

"Why bother King Chuang, the eight kings led the troops to level He Yilong, if He Yilong came to us, told us to let go, although he can get the gratitude of the leaders of the righteous army, but he offended Kong Youde on weekdays, and now he was killed by Zhang Xianzhong, King Chuang and the eight kings are the same generals, in no particular order, although he is in Kong Youde's heart, but King Chuang is not favored by the leaders of the righteous army?" After getting on the horse and setting foot on the way home, Gu Junen whispered to Li Zicheng.

"You mean, the Eight Great Kings killed He Yilong this time, and those other leaders of the rebel army will alienate him in the future?" Li Zicheng thought about it, and it was also the same reason, so he felt a little better in his heart.

"Of course, although I don't know why Kong Youde chose King Chuang and the Eight Kings as generals among the many leaders, but since he has this title, he must seek more strength, these rebel commanders, once they follow the Liaodong Army to gain a firm foothold in Shandong, they should naturally know how to choose, we have the banner of King Chuang and your general, then we can command the rebel army," Gu Junen saw that the other generals also came over to listen, so he analyzed faster,

"Kong Youde, born in Liaodong, I didn't know before, but since the contact, I found that he seems to have been out of Denglai for several months, but there is no development at the moment, although the iron cavalry and foot soldiers under his command are elite, but there are not many people and horses, and there are many conflicts between his foot soldiers and cavalry, this must be the origin conflict of Liao and Central Plains people, so even if Kong Youde occupies the entire Shandong, he still wants to use us to govern, this is our biggest opportunity!"

"What's that saying?" Li Zicheng has been a court official, and he has joined the army, not to mention bravery, literary talent, he can make do with it, but what Gu Junen said is so profound, he really can't understand it, don't talk about him, these generals who broke into the camp behind him, they didn't understand a word at all, and secretly thought that this gentleman, his ability is not small, but this speech is incomprehensible.

"Don't be anxious about King Chuang, now you are the same general as the Eight Kings, this title is used to order all the righteous troops, although it is only in name, but after all, everyone is going to recruit soldiers and horses, at that time, I expect that the Eight Kings will never allow others to sit big, and Kong Youde will not let so many people and horses participate, so the two most capable are the Eight Kings and King Chuang!"

Seeing this, Gu Junen could only explain simply, "The other rebel troops must be called as cannon fodder, even if they take the city, they will not be able to gain a firm foothold, so when they wait until the back, these horses will either take refuge in the Eight Kings or take refuge in the King Chuang, and now, the Eight Kings have a bad reputation with the old leather camp in their hands, although they have gained benefits from Kong Youde, but these leaders of the Rebel Army will have to be more wary of him in the future, isn't this your chance to break the king?" ā€

"In this way, I finally understand, but what makes me wonder is that these leaders of the rebel army used to be stronger than me, even if they fought together in Henan, my troops were mostly vassals of my uncle's soldiers and horses, so how can I receive these horses under my account?" Li Zicheng was a little puzzled, after all, in these days, reputation is important, but what is more important is the strength at hand.

Different from history, after the death of Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong, Li Zicheng got some of the main forces they left, and then quickly grew into a large force in the righteous army, and after Gao Yingxiang's death, he inherited the name of King Chuang and part of Gao Yingxiang's forces, which gave him a certain right to speak at that time, and he could even command in the righteous army.

But because of the sudden appearance of Li Jing in this world, the entire history of Shanxi and Shaanxi and other northwest regions has changed, and the fate of many people and things has undergone fundamental changes, for example, although Wang Jiayin was still killed by Cao Wenzhao in Shanxi, Wang Ziyong led the rest of his troops to fight, but they did not continue to wreak havoc in Shanxi and Shaanxi as in history, but ran to Henan in advance to fight.

In Henan, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, who went out of the mountain in advance, killed Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang in Kaifeng Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion one after another, and captured and incorporated their old battalion soldiers and horses, which made Li Zicheng have no chance to seize this part of the army, so to this day, there are still only a few thousand men and horses under his command, not the strongest force at all, and even several groups of rogue soldiers and horses gathered near Cao County are more than him.

How can the rebels, who have always only recognized fists, obey a person with fewer soldiers and horses than their own?

Li Zicheng was puzzled, but Gu Junen immediately came out and said, "Don't worry about King Chuang, these horses, although they look strong at the moment, but after they enter Denglai in the east, they will have to fight with the official army sooner or later, are you afraid that they will continue to be strong?" ā€

"Let's talk about this matter back to the camp," Li Zicheng changed slightly, he knew that if he wanted to develop, in addition to relying on Kong Youde, he also had to start annexing other rebel troops, but once this topic was revealed, I was afraid that it would cause other trouble, so he said this sentence and took the troops all the way to his own camp.

"It's going to change the sky~!" Gu Junen, as Li Zicheng's most important strategist at this time, looked up at the sky, sighed and shook his head, in this world, I am afraid that it is time to change the master, but I don't know who will be the one who will compete in the Central Plains and win the world in the future.
