After the scouts sent from Zhuxian Town were captured, Gu Junen decided to interrogate them personally, these captured scouts have always been under the surveillance of the righteous army, when these scouts came out of Kaifeng Mansion City and went to Zhuxian Town, it was Gu Junen's special arrangement to let them go to Zhuxian Town to report the news, otherwise the Kaifeng Mansion City that was surrounded like an iron bucket would not be possible for anyone to kill and spy on intelligence.

Gu Junen needed to know the next move of the officers and troops stationed in Zhuxian Town, although he knew that these captured scouts were unlikely to know the specific arrangements made by Sun Chuanting, but from these scouts, he could always ask for useful things.

There were a total of six scouts from Zhuxian Town to Kaifeng Fucheng, two of whom were killed during the fight, and the remaining four were captured alive, and in order to capture these six scouts, the rebels lost nearly thirty people, which shows the strength of these scouts.

Walking in front of a low tent, the officer guarding the tent saw Gu Junen with a smile on his face.

Gu Junen waved his hand and motioned to open the tent.

The officer hurriedly lifted the tent, and four scouts tied like rice dumplings appeared in front of him.

Gu Junen frowned, he knew very well that the rebels hated these four scouts, after all, when they were captured, there were many dead in the rebels, so when they were bound, they showed no mercy.

Such a binding is fatal, no matter how strong a person is, if they are tied up for a long time, the blood flow in the body will slow down, and eventually they will die quickly due to poor breathing and so on.

Seeing that Gu Junen's expression was wrong, the officer hurriedly ordered the sergeant beside him to untie the four of them.

The soldiers beside Gu Junen finally spoke.

"These people are important criminals, and the gentleman will try them himself, and you are so bound that if these people are killed. Are you ready to die......

The officer's face turned pale with fright, and his body trembled, you must know that Gu Junen's status in the righteous army is not ordinary, except for King Chuang, even Liu Zongmin can't compare, a word. I don't know how he, the officer, died.

The officer, on the other hand, was also shrewd, and when he saw that the untied sergeant was unhappy, he immediately stepped forward himself, drew a sharp knife from his waist, and cut the rope with three strikes and five divisions.

A few scouts who were tied up had a slight ** in their mouths.

When the first scout was brought to Gu Junen's tent, his face was pale and he walked a little shaky.

Gu Junen's face didn't have much expression, and he looked at the scout for more than a minute. Only then did he speak slowly.

"Bringing you here, you should understand what it means, I don't want to say more, you will tell everything you know, if you don't want to stay in the rebels, I will give you some silver taels, let you go home and live a good life, if you don't want to say anything. Then turn around and leave, and go underground to pledge allegiance to the Ming court. ”

The scout's eyes were a little dazed. Probably not yet understood.

Less than a minute later, Gu Junen waved his hand at the soldiers behind him, signaling to escort out the scouts who had not reacted, he didn't expect the first scout to speak, you must know that these scouts are the best among the officers and soldiers.

As the soldiers walked up to the scout, the scout suddenly understood something. Plopped to his knees.

"I say, I'll say anything......"

Gu Junen was stunned, and his own soldiers were also stunned.

Soon, a smile appeared on Gu Junen's face, and a certain thought faintly appeared in his heart. However, such an idea will not be confirmed until such a kneeling scout confesses.

A quarter of an hour later, the first scout was taken out of the tent, and the second scout was brought in after him.

After more than half an hour, Gu Junen walked out of the tent with a smile on his face and walked towards the tent of King Chuang Li Zicheng, he finally confirmed his inner guess, this is very beneficial to King Chuang and the rebels, and the rebels must seize this opportunity. Of course, some circumstances have been confirmed, and Gu Junen's thinking has also been adjusted, he is not only going to defeat the official army that Zhu Xianzhen is rushing to help, but also to take Kaifeng Mansion City in one go.

Gu Junen had just entered the tent when Li Zicheng spoke.

"Lao Gu, you just interrogated the scouts of the official army, what news did you get?"

"I'm here to congratulate King Chuang."

In the past few days, Li Zicheng's mood is not very good, the city wall of Kaifeng Mansion is thick and tall, and there are Hongyi cannons on the city wall, which is a huge threat to the attacking rebel sergeants, a few days of attack, the casualties of the rebel army are still very large, and more importantly, through a few days of attack, Li Zicheng did not find an effective way to attack Kaifeng Mansion and reduce casualties, according to this situation of development, in the end Li Zicheng could not take Kaifeng Mansion City.

Li Zicheng vaguely understood the suggestion that Gu Junen put forward at the beginning, that is, to defeat the official army stationed in Zhuxian Town, such a victory is also a major victory, maybe Gu Junen has long known that it will be impossible for the righteous army to take Kaifeng Mansion for a while.

Seeing Gu Junen with a comfortable smile on his face, Li Zicheng was also a little happy, he knew Gu Junen's loyalty.

"If there is anything to congratulate, say it and listen to it."

"King Chuang wants to be able to defeat the official army stationed in Zhuxian Town, but he wants to take Kaifeng Mansion even more, I don't know if what I said is right."

"Needless to say, the purpose of the long-distance attack of the righteous army is to take Kaifeng Fucheng, but if you want to capture Kaifeng Fucheng, it seems that you won't be able to do it for a while."

"It's really difficult, but as long as you defeat the official army stationed in Zhuxian Town and take Kaifeng Fucheng, it's an easy thing."

Li Zicheng looked at Gu Junen and didn't speak immediately, he knew that Gu Junen had made a good deployment and was bent on defeating the official army stationed in Zhuxian Town, but if he defeated the official army, he would be able to easily take Kaifeng Mansion City, which was a bit unrealistic, after all, nearly 100,000 officers and troops were coming in the direction of Kaifeng Mansion City, and it was impossible for the righteous army to fight a decisive battle with the official army outside Kaifeng Mansion City, even if they defeated the official army stationed in Zhuxian Town, it would be difficult to have a chance to take Kaifeng Mansion City.

"King Chuang, the officers and troops stationed in Kaifeng Mansion are about to rush to the aid of Kaifeng Mansion, and the one who led them to conquer was the Ming Dynasty's military department Shangshu and the governor of the five provinces, Sun Chuanting."

Li Zicheng's eyes lit up slightly, if he could defeat Sun Chuanting, the prestige of the righteous army would definitely be greatly enhanced.

"Okay, then the righteous army must be prepared to completely defeat Sun Chuanting."

"King Chuang, the information I got is not only this, the morale of the officers and soldiers stationed in Kaifeng Mansion is unusually low, it can be said that they have no intention of fighting, once we defeat Sun Chuanting, the officers and soldiers stationed in Kaifeng Mansion are even more panicked, and at that time, the sergeants we have placed in the Mansion City will be able to play a role."

"This idea is good, but there are still 100,000 officers and soldiers who are already coming towards Kaifeng Fucheng, how can we deal with them."

"I think we can deal with it, on the one hand, as long as we defeat Sun Chuanting, the 100,000 officers and troops behind, after learning the news, will definitely hesitate and will not come to reinforcements immediately, on the other hand, isn't there Zhang Xianzhong, in the process of our attack on Xiangyang Fucheng, we asked Zhang Xianzhong to lead the righteous army to come to reinforcements, once the official army knew that Zhang Xianzhong was also coming in the direction of Kaifeng Fucheng, what did King Chuang think the official army would do."

Li Zicheng looked at Gu Junen, nodded frequently, and finally showed a smile on his face.

"Yes, yes, this plan is good, but what if Zhang Xianzhong doesn't come."

"I thought about it, even if Zhang Xianzhong is unwilling to come, we will release the news and let the officials and soldiers know, and I suggest that scouts be sent immediately to inform Zhang Xianzhong, hoping that he can fulfill the agreement, besides, once we defeat Sun Chuanting, Zhang Xianzhong will definitely come to reinforce."

Gu Junen's words reached this point, and Li Zicheng finally thought clearly.

"Okay, tell me, what should we do next, whether to continue to attack Kaifeng Fucheng."

"I don't think it's necessary to attack desperately, as long as you make a formation to attack, the officers and troops stationed in Zhuxian Town have decided to rush to the aid of Kaifeng Fucheng, defeating them is our most important task, Zhuxian Town is only about fifty miles away from Kaifeng Fucheng, from the point of view of time, the official army will arrive at Kaifeng Fucheng tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we need to make all preparations and do our best to exterminate the officers and troops along the way."

Li Zicheng nodded, and ordered his own soldiers to immediately invite Liu Zongmin to the Chinese military tent.

More than an hour later, the discussion of the Chinese military tent ended.

Gu Junen and Liu Zongmin walked out of the Chinese military tent.

Gu Junen looked at Liu Zongmin beside him and spoke with a serious expression.

"General Liu, you know the great opportunity that the righteous army is facing, I have already seen it, King Chuang's confidence is not very strong, he thinks that the righteous army can defeat the official army stationed in Zhuxian Town, but it may not be able to capture Kaifeng Fucheng, whether this can capture Kaifeng Fucheng, it depends on how we fight next, you must command the righteous army sergeants to completely defeat the official army of Zhuxian Town, if you can kill Sun Chuanting, then the righteous army will definitely be able to take Kaifeng Fucheng."

Liu Zongmin listened very seriously, and after Gu Junen finished speaking, he immediately spoke.

"I understand what Mr. Gu means, I will definitely defeat the officers and soldiers, they are less than 40,000 people, and the rebel army has 100,000 soldiers, if I can't defeat them, then I am willing to accept military justice."

"General Liu doesn't have to think like this, as long as we can defeat the officers and troops of Zhuxian Town, all our goals can be achieved, and this battle involves the future of the righteous army."

After returning to the tent, Gu Junen was a little excited, he had followed Li Zicheng for so many years, and had experienced almost all the battles of the righteous army, to say that there was such a good opportunity, this was the first time, and now all the arrangements and deployments are in place, it depends on whether God helps the righteous army, it is said that the official army will not escape the doom of failure, and it is not particularly difficult for Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, to take Kaifeng Fucheng, as long as these goals are achieved one by one, the future of the righteous army is not ordinary.
