Chapter 497: Infighting (2)

Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng's return to the imperial court caused a huge repercussion among the liukou.

The matter of returning to the imperial court is not uncommon, it is not an uncommon thing, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai have done such a thing, but it is an expedient measure, the front foot defects to the imperial court, and the back foot rebels again.

But this time the situation was different, Liukou's opponents were Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying.

I think that at the beginning, Zijin Liang, Lao Huihui and Zhang Xianzhong were all defeated by Su Tiancheng's men, but none of them had a chance to belong to the imperial court, let alone use any tricks to surrender, and almost all the leaders of the rogue who fell into the hands of Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying were beheaded, and there was no chance of surrender.

It is impossible for Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng not to know such a situation as Lu Dao, in front of the brave and invincible Jiangning Battalion, using the strategy of deception is tantamount to looking for death, which also shows that Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng are really obedient to the imperial court.

Fraud requires a lot of methods, money, beauty, etc., none of which can be less, and it requires the cooperation of some generals in the middle of the Ming army, when the Ming army exterminates the Liukou, it is often to gather several large armies, and the interests of each army are different, which can find flaws, but when facing the Jiangning battalion, there is no such opportunity.

The various leaders of the Rogue have also encountered new problems.

When Gao Yingxiang led an army of 100,000 to attack the Jiangning camp, Li Zicheng began to pinch many leaders in the middle of the army. The rebel army needs unified command, and if the hundreds of thousands of troops continue to fight separately, the outcome will definitely be tragic.

After the news of Gao Yingxiang's defeat and capture came, Li Zicheng stepped up his steps and put forward it strongly. The rebel army needs unified command, and unity is the strength of strength.

Luo Rucai also supports Li Zicheng's opinion, this opinion is indeed correct, the righteous army has suffered the biggest blow, and at the critical moment, it really needs to be held together, so that it is possible to resist the Jiangning battalion.

However, Luo Rucai's thinking is somewhat different, he believes that in the current situation, the rebels need to disperse their actions. It cannot continue to concentrate in Hanzhong Mansion and become the target of the Jiangning battalion.

Speaking of which, Luo Rucai's point of view is self-contradictory, if the righteous army is dispersed, the statement of unified command does not exist, and it is still fighting separately.

There were also many differences among the many leaders, and some were in favor of unified command. For the sake of the future of the rebels, everyone must be united. Some people do not approve of unified command, believing that it is still necessary to fight out of Shaanxi, and no matter how big the problem is, they cannot stay in Shaanxi and wait for death, and take a step back to open the sea and the sky.

The two opinions are at odds, and it's in the process. Li Zicheng did it.

Ge Li has always had a bad relationship with Li Zicheng, and he did not obey Li Zicheng's command, he was originally self-made and led the team to rebel. For so many years, most of the time, he was fighting alone, and later encountered some setbacks in Sichuan, especially after meeting Qin Hongyu, he suffered a fiasco, and had to enter Hanzhong to recuperate.

In He Yilong's view, the main purpose of coming to Hanzhong is to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.

If you obey Li Zicheng's unified command, then you will have no command power, and all actions must obey Li Zicheng's arrangement, which is tantamount to handing over the team, which is unbearable.

Many sergeants led by He Yilong have good combat effectiveness, and they are quite prominent in the many units of the Righteous Army, because of this reason, He Yilong is also relatively high-profile in the ranks of the Righteous Army.

After Li Wanqing returned to Hanzhong, the rest of the people ignored him, and suffered a fiasco, Li Wanqing was almost slumped, no one would care, at this time, He Yilong began to care.

Li Wanqing has a good relationship with He Yilong.

He Yilong specially set up a banquet and invited Li Wanqing to drink.

In the process of drinking, the two naturally wanted to chat, and lost most of the sergeants, Li Wanqing also saw it white, knowing that he had no strength and was not in the eyes of everyone, so he said that under frustration, he spoke a lot boldly, He Yilong was not convinced Li Zicheng, after the two drank, everyone knew what to say.

Maybe it's because he's used to it, but in the next two days, He Yilong and Li Wanqing were together all the time, not noticing the strange eyes around them, nor paying attention to the situation they were facing.

On this day, after Li Wanqing returned to his residence, he sighed for a long time, feeling that he had no future.

An officer came in, this officer, who used to be Li Wanqing's subordinate, was later favored by Li Zicheng because of his bravery, and found the reason to dig it up.

The officer's face was very unpleasant.

Li Wanqing looked at this officer, but did not take the initiative to speak, when he was in a bad mood, when he saw this person, the disgust that surged in his heart, let alone take the initiative to speak.

"General Li, I'm here to tell you, hurry up and get out of here, otherwise it'll be too late."

Li Wanqing stood up in shock, and he didn't know what the other party said about it.

"You, what are you talking about, why am I leaving?"

"You usually treat me well, so I'm here to tell you about it, I won't explain the specific situation, tonight, you must find a chance to get out of here, otherwise something really big will happen."

Li Wanqing wanted to ask something, but the officer had already turned around and left, without explanation or superfluous words.

When Li Wanqing chased him out, the surroundings were very quiet, and there was no one in sight.

Back in the house again, Li Wanqing fell into deep thought.

After about a quarter of an hour, Li Wanqing's face changed, and he faintly thought of something.

Li Wanqing opened the door again, saw that there was no one outside, and after closing the door, he began to pack up his things, it doesn't matter what else he does, the key is that the gold and silver treasures must be packed up, at this time, thinking about notifying his family, it must be too late, besides, the family members are under the care of Li Zicheng and others.

Soon, Li Wanqing finished cleaning up.

There are two packages in total, and they are not big.

After getting on the horse, Li Wanqing looked around, his eyes showed a look of care, and soon, his eyes changed, and he looked a little cold.

After Li Wanqing left on horseback, several people flashed out around the house, and one of them was Li Zicheng.

The incident of Li Wanqing's escape was made public an hour later.

With the disclosure of Li Wanqing's defection, Ge Li Yanhe Yilong was the first to be captured.

In the middle of the rebel army, a saying was quickly revealed, Li Wanqing had already taken refuge in the imperial court, when the marshal was captured by the Ming army, Li Wanqing was indispensable, the reason why he returned to Hanzhong Mansion was to think of being able to assassinate Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng, and completely disintegrate the ranks of the rebels, at the same time, Li Wanqing was among the rebels, and there were accomplices, and after coming back to find the accomplices, they acted together, and they couldn't think of Li Wanqing's scheme, which was detected by the soldiers around him.

In a hurry, Li Wanqing fled and fled to the station of the Jiangning battalion.

This incident caused a big wave, and He Yilong, who was the first to be caught, naturally became Li Wanqing's accomplice.

Some leaders didn't believe such a statement, but the vast majority of the sergeants believed it, and everyone scolded Li Wanqing and He Yilong, thinking that the two of them were too much to compare Li Yichuan and Liu Guoneng.

He Yilong's face was pale, his tongue had been cut out, and he couldn't speak.

Li Zicheng looked at He Yilong, there was no expression in his eyes, He Yilong was about to be killed a long time ago, but Li Zicheng had something to say, so He Yilong was escorted over.

"He Yilong, don't look at me like this, I think we were also brothers at the beginning, and we fell into today's situation, we are all reluctant, for the future of the righteous army, I have to borrow your head, you go all the way, every year during the Qingming Festival, I will go to your grave."

He Yilong's eyes became red, but unfortunately he couldn't speak, so he could only stare at Li Zicheng, which seemed to say, even if I went underground, I wouldn't let you Li Zicheng go.

He Yilong was killed, and the troops to which he belonged belonged belonged to Li Zicheng.

This move caused a great shock, and for a while, the leaders of the rebel army were a little panicked.

The second to be caught was Ma Jinzhong, the king of reincarnation.

But in one day, Ma Jinzhong was also beheaded, the name was the same, he wanted to defect to the Ming Dynasty and betray the interests of all his brothers, and the sergeant to whom Ma Jinzhong belonged was also absorbed by Li Zicheng.

Some of the leaders finally came to their senses and thought about leaving Hanzhong, but there was no chance.

Guotianxing Hui Dengxiang was the first to find Li Zicheng, expressed his decision, and happily handed over the command, and incorporated all his sergeants into Li Zicheng's team.

This initiative has shown everything.

As for whether He Yilong, Ma Jinzhong and others really secretly surrendered to the imperial court, or even whether Li Wanqing returned to the imperial court, no one will investigate it, and it will not be able to be investigated.

The rest of the leaders, although reluctant, could only hand over the command.

There was such a change in the rebel army, no one could have imagined that Gao Yingxiang was defeated and captured, and the command of the rebel army was quickly unified, and many of the leaders used to lead the troops to fight alone, but this time they all handed over the army, and they were also under house arrest in disguise, and they were firmly guarded by Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai's personal soldiers, and they could not contact the sergeants to which they belonged.

But an even bigger crisis followed.

The many leaders of the rebel army and the subordinate sergeants under their jurisdiction were scattered into the hands of Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng, but the rebel army only needed one leader, and one mountain could not tolerate two tigers.

The many leaders who handed over the command were a little gloating, and they were eager to know who could get the final command between Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai. (To be continued......)
