Chapter 14: Luo Rucai's Gift
readx;?get Zhu Changyuan away?
Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info∽↗∽↗,
After a few seconds, Sun Kewang said: "Father-in-law, this child is really powerless, if you want to invite this plague god away, I'm afraid you still need to rely on the power of the imperial court." ”
"Exactly!" Li Dingguo also echoed.
"Okay, okay, you can't count on it anyway." Zhang Xianzhong looked at the two righteous sons dissatisfied, but he was not so disgusted in his heart, and thought for a while: "Master Tang, Master Tang." After shouting twice, no one answered, and then said loudly: "Tang Bingshuo, roll over to Lao Tzu." ”
Outside, Master Tang finally ran in in a panic, knelt on the ground when he entered the door, and said, "The handsome forgive the sin, the villain just went to the toilet in the thatched house." ”
"Alright, alright, hurry up." Zhang Xianzhong also got up from the ground, walked for a while, and said ruthlessly: "I hope to find a reliable person to follow the master, bring 20,000 taels of silver to the court, and give it to those guys in the cabinet, see if you can let this Zhu Changyuan move a place, the court can't always keep an eye on us, can't he go to Shaanxi to keep an eye on Li Zicheng?" ”
"Yes!" Sun Kewang and Master Tang bowed and walked out of the room.
Suddenly only Li Dingguo and Zhang Xianzhong were left in the room.
Zhang Xianzhong said: "Dingguo, there is an important task entrusted to you, may you do a good job?" ”
Li Dingguo gave a military salute and said: "The righteous father has an order, and the children all obey it, just ask the father to give an order!" ”
Zhang Xianzhong is just 30 years old this year and has accepted four righteous sons, namely Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi and Liu Wenxiu, but only Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang are the only ones he values.
Li Dingguo is loyal and strategic, and he is a great general, and Sun Kewang is careful and cautious. But he is too greedy for money, and there is a small flaw in his character.
So compared to Sun Kewanglai, he values Li Dingguo more.
If it weren't for Zhu Changyuan's personal name, Zhang Xianzhong would not have sent Li Dingguo to Zhu Changyuan's men anyway. And until now, he can't figure out that his righteous son is not well-known, and he has not yet achieved any brilliant results after great training. For Mao Zhu Changyuan, he simply named him.
Forget it, I don't want to do so much, for now, I still have to put driving away Zhu Changyuan in the top priority, as long as Zhu Changyuan is not there, hehe?
Zhang Xianzhong suddenly thought of a sentence that his master told him in the Three Kingdoms before: Once the world changes, he will order a general to take the army of Jingzhou to Xiang Wan and Luo, and the general will lead the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan. If so, then hegemony can be successful!
But if this damn Zhu Changyuan is in the Jingzhou area. Lao Tzu's hegemony ambition will be discounted.
"Hmm!" Zhang Xianzhong was quite satisfied with the performance of his righteous son, and said: "Well, I remember that a group of thieves came over from Xichuan a month ago to defect to Ben Shuai, if Ben Shuai is not mistaken, there should be more than 3,000 people, right?" ”
"Yes, father-in-law. Liu Mingyi led his troops to surrender, with more than 3,000 men and horses. "At that time, when Liu Mingyi surrendered, Li Dingguo was in charge of recruiting, so he was more aware of the matter.
"That's good. In the afternoon, you go and count out a thousand of Liu Mingyi's soldiers and horses, and bring them to Xiangyang to give them to Zhu Changyuan. Uh, by the way, you have to stay over there and help him pacify the thief! ”
"Zhu Changyuan?" Li Dingguo was puzzled.
"yes." Zhang Xianzhong sighed and said: "Zhu Changyuan came to borrow troops, but Ben Shuai didn't dare, uh." I can't help but give it, this face still has to be given to him, but you go out this time to help him calm the thief, and you have to remember one thing! ”
"Just listen to the father!"
"Hmm!" Zhang Xianzhong thought for a moment and said, "Be submissive." Be respectful, and you will do whatever he tells you to do? But remember one thing, don't take him to really fight, be improvised, and drag him if he has nothing to do. ”
"This?" Li Dingguo hesitated slightly, he was an upright person, this kind of thing was simply too difficult for him, but he didn't dare to disobey Zhang Xianzhong's order, so he had to say: "What if he asks me to fight?" ”
Zhang Xianzhong said: "Flicker, just adapt to the situation." After speaking, he thought of Zhu Changyuan's great power today, and injured the five masters with a roar, and said: "In this way, you go back and tell Wenxiu, let him choose 300 strong and clever people in the army, and serve as guards for the commander!" ”
Three hundred? Guard?
Li Dingguo thought that he had heard it wrong, so many personal guards, the emperor's standard was nothing more than that, right? After thinking about it, he was relieved, and said secretly: Maybe Zhu Changyuan really scared his father today.
"Yes, the boy is gone!" Li Dingguo walked out of the Marshal's Mansion, went straight to Nanying, counted 1,000 soldiers, brought ten days' worth of dry food, and marched towards Xiangyang Mansion, where Zhu Changyuan was located.
Gucheng is about 80 kilometers away from Xiangyang, and it takes half a day to ride a horse, and a day to march with a group of soldiers.
Therefore, Li Dingguo set off with his army in the afternoon and did not arrive at Xiangyang City until the next morning.
Zhu Changyuan received the 1,000 troops sent by Li Dingguo, and looking at the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the army, he greeted Zhang Xianzhong's ancestors for the eighteenth generation at that time.
Is this Nima an army, all old and old, without weapons and hoes, it's okay, is your special mother so lacking in virtue, even sixty-year-old women and three-year-old children are sent to Lao Tzu?
"This is the soldier you sent me?" Zhu Changyuan was old-fashioned, put on a good stand in front of Li Dingguo, who was younger than him, and said, "Can this fight?" ”
Li Dingguo was a little embarrassed, his tall and thin body bowed slightly, and said: "General, these old and weak are all family members of the army, and they really can't be separated!" ”
Farts can't be divided!
Zhu Changyuan looked at these goods, and secretly said that it was better not to ask Zhang Xianzhong at that time, what kind of things did he give me, and he brought his family with him when he was fighting, isn't this a homeless person?
What is the difference between these people and the soldiers recruited by Lao Xiong?
Zhu Changyuan's head suddenly became bigger, and he wanted Lao Tzu to take these soldiers to suppress the bandits, but Lao Tzu didn't do it, okay?
Forget it, since you're here, let's make it up for life, I looked at the more than 1,000 people, and there were not all old men and old ladies in them, at least there were some young people, but they were a little thin and weak from hunger.
"Okay!" Zhu Changyuan smiled bitterly and said to Poyu: "You can count these people." Find out the young ones left, and the rest will be returned to Zhang Xianzhong. Don't! ”
Li Dingguo stood next to him, listening to Zhu Changyuan's words of scolding Zhang Xianzhong, he was a little angry, if it wasn't for yesterday when he saw Zhu Changyuan's domineering anger and hurt five first-class masters, plus his father-in-law's instructions. It is estimated that he would have started beating people a long time ago.
Pick out more than a hundred or so young men from the entire army, and they are not the kind that drag their families, and let Zhu Poyu pack them up for Zhang Xianzhong and retreat. Don't give this old boy face at all.
Of course, Li Dingguo wants to stay.
"General Lee!" Zhu Changyuan looked at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old Li Dingguo, and felt ridiculous in his heart, secretly saying that no matter how famous you are in the future, you are still a hairy boy who can be slaughtered by others.
"Don't dare, General Zhu!" Li Dingguo did not dare to slack off at all in accordance with Zhang Xianzhong's instructions.
"Don't. I am now wearing a guilty body, and I am just a soldier when I am in the army, so you will call me Zhu Changyuan in the future. Although Zhu Changyuan said this, how dare Li Dingguo call him that.
"I borrowed 1,000 soldiers from Zhang Xianzhong, this old boy dared to fool me like this, and there were only 100 soldiers selected to use it." Zhu Changyuan sighed as he spoke, and the corners of his mouth grinned. said: "Forget it, I don't know him either." Since General Li has brought people here, then let's take your 1,000 people to be a pioneer in the next place, and go to the thieves' den in Wolong Mountain to find out the truth first? ”
"Hiss~~" Li Dingguo had a feeling of wanting to cry at that time, and secretly said a thousand farts, one thousand were sent back by you for nine hundred. There are still 100 people left for me to go to the bandits, just kidding.
"By the way, bandits are also people, if they can be appeased, they should be appeased. It is enough to make him surrender, if he cannot be appeased, pass my order, and the chicken and dog will not stay. After speaking, he looked at the absent-minded Li Dingguo and said, "I don't know if General Li can complete this task?" ”
"Do your best!" Li Ding National Road.
"If you can be can, if you can't be can't, the so-called doing your best is synonymous with perfunctory things in my ears." Zhu Changyuan smiled and said: "If the general thinks that he has no such talent, take your people and roll, if he thinks he has this talent, he should be the vanguard for me and explore the enemy camp." ”
This sentence angered Li Dingguo.
You can doubt everything about me, but you can't doubt my abilities. Li Dingguo was furious in his heart, and he had already put the words that Zhang Xianzhong taught him outside the clouds, and said at the moment: "If you are incompetent below, you can only kill yourself and become a benevolent ear!" ”
After speaking, he took his 100 subordinates and walked directly towards the mountains south of the Han River, where was the lair of the bandits that Zhu Changyuan wanted to exterminate this time.
Zhu Changyuan looked at Li Dingguo's back and smiled, the plan was successful.
Li Dingguo is the number one general under Zhang Xianzhong, not only in the Ming Dynasty stirred up the entire southwest region, but even after the Qing army moved into the Central Plains, he also lost two Qing court princes in his hands.
If I am not mistaken, Kong Youde, the later king of Dingnan in the Great Qing Dynasty, died at the hands of this goods.
"Kong Quede was beaten by Lao Tzu in the last naval battle, I don't know what that old boy is doing now?" Zhu Changyuan inexplicably thought of Geng Zhongming's old partner in his mind.
No matter, let's think about Li Dingguo first.
For Zhu Changyuan, Li Dingguo is naturally worse than death, if Li Dingguo can be tossed to death in advance, it can be regarded as cutting off Zhang Xianzhong's right-hand man, which is undoubtedly a great loss for Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion in the future.
It's not that he didn't think about recruiting Li Dingguo, but it's unlikely. He is Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son, and Zhang Xianzhong treats him like his biological father, which is too difficult and too costly.
Zhu Changyuan didn't want to give up, so he had to give up.
Whatever, let him fight, Lao Tzu will talk about things tomorrow, who let Zhang Xianzhong pit Lao Tzu, you pit Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will pit your son, don't blame me for my lack of virtue.
A day later, without any news of Li Dingguo, Zhu Changyuan decided to order all the soldiers and horses to go to the mountains to see the situation in person, but he didn't expect to receive a big gift before he went out: Bai Gang sent the troops here, and they were a thousand elites.
Zhu Changyuan was overjoyed, and received his friend who did not know each other with a high standard, and after detailed inquiry, he learned that these soldiers were not Bai Gang's, but belonged to another strange person: Luo Rucai. (To be continued.) )
ps: Good night brothers, that's all for today
