The army surrounded Luo Rucai's camp so much that even a fly could not fly out, artillery, bows and crossbows, knives and guns were waiting for them, and Luo Rucai's soldiers and horses also did not dare to be careless, but fortunately, because Li Zicheng was still in Luo Rucai's army, the army was a mouse, so he maintained a certain degree of restraint, but many generals were already difficult to suppress the murderous spirit full of their bodies, and they shouted and cursed in front of the battle, exerting great pressure on Luo Rucai's soldiers and horses.

Luo Rucai did not dare to take it lightly, although he was forced to bow to Li Zicheng, but he was afraid that Li Zicheng would kill him after leaving his camp, so he threw away a large number of baggage, and ordered all the troops under his command to immediately pull out the camp and set up the village, while being on strict guard, while slowly withdrawing the army to the west.

Luo Rucai took the generals and soldiers around him and personally "accompanied" Li Zicheng to get up together. Li Zicheng didn't want to fight with Luo Rucai, so he also pushed the boat and Luo Rucai laughed and talked all the way, and the two horses were parallel.

It wasn't until he withdrew more than 20 miles away and was separated from the army that Luo Ru said goodbye to Li Zicheng with a full hatred and a look of pity.

The two tacitly cherished each other, and Luo Rucai quickly marched towards the lofty mountains and mountains of Funiu Mountain with a large group of men.

Along the way, Luo Rucai's face was solemn, he didn't say a word, just urged the soldiers and horses to rush forward, until he entered the mountains, which slowed down, and when the sun set, Luo Ru breathed a sigh of relief, but in an instant, he felt that the world was spinning, and suddenly he fell from the horse.

The generals around him, Ji Jue and others were shocked, and hurriedly supported Luo Rucai's body and placed him on the brocade couch, which was filled with water and pinched. After a while, Luo Rucai woke up slowly.

Luo Rucai's face did not have the slightest blood, and when he opened his eyes to look at everyone, a sigh had come out of his mouth, but he was still silent. Ji Jue has followed Luo Rucai for many years. Knowing that he was a preoccupied expression, he hurriedly supported the generals, leaving only Yang Chengzu and Luo Ruliang to serve by his side.

Luo Rucai nodded, leaned on the brocade couch, and patted the back of Ji Jue's hand, "Remember what I told you." Was there a reminder when Zhu Ping'an sent me out of the camp? ”

Ji Jue nodded in a trance, "I was unfortunately hit by him!" ”

Luo Rucai had palpitations, and early this morning, the noise in the camp woke him up. Somehow, Zhu Ping'an's parting words suddenly sounded in his mind - "Cao Shuai will not sleep peacefully in the future, even if he is surrounded by ten thousand troops, be careful of Li Zicheng's sudden break into the camp." Don't forget! ”

It was precisely this sentence that made Luo Rucai wake up from a drunken sleep, without saying a word, he could even take care of his clothes, so he used his dagger to cut open the military tent and hurriedly ran out, until he ran to Luo Ruliang's camp, which escaped a killing disaster. At that time, Luo Ru knew that Zhu Ping'an's words meant something. It has a lot of meaning.

Luo Rucai said leisurely: "Although Zhu Ping'an is young, he has long been famous, and today this matter is compared. It shows his extraordinary, to be honest, plus Tongguan let us go, Lao Tzu owes him two lives! ”

"Now that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are being persecuted, is the general interested in taking refuge in the imperial court and Zhu Ping'an?" Ji Jue asked tentatively.

Luo Rucai thought about it for a long time. The autumn wind blowing in September made him subconsciously wrap his robe tightly. After a while, he nodded, but shook his head again.

Li Zicheng is compared with Zhu Ping'an. The high and low opinions, but how can today's general trend be influenced by talent and mind? Lao Tzu is a rough man, but he also knows what it means when the scholars say that 'a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall'! The Ming Dynasty is already in decline, and although Lao Tzu agrees with Zhu Ping'an, he has no intention of sharing a sunken ship with him. On the contrary, if the heroes rise together today, although Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are powerful, they are really uncertain about what will happen in the future. I think at the beginning, is Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng different from many generals? But he was still defeated in the hands of his grandfather. Therefore, when the general trend of the world is not clear, my Lao Luo will never do anything stupid! Take 10,000 steps back and say, if Zhu Ping'an is willing to fight for the world, Lao Luo and I can help. Alas, who can say what will happen in the future? ”

"Then what does my uncle mean to go to Nanyang?" Luo Ruliang asked, and then waved his hand, "Uncle, don't blame your nephew for talking too much, Nanyang City is high and deep, Li Zicheng asked me to be the pioneer, it was the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and I wanted to lose our troops......!" ”

Luo Rucai smiled: "Don't worry, your uncle and I are not so confused." Besides, Nanyang is the fief of the Tang King, although my Lao Luo is a rough man, but these days he has really inquired about Zhu Ping'an's details, he was born in the Tang Palace. If Lao Tzu participated in the Battle of Nanyang and had the blood of Tang Wangfu on his hands, then Zhu Ping'an would have no way to explain. My old Luo can't do that kind of thing that will take revenge. ”

As he spoke, Luo Rucai's spirit recovered a lot, and his face was a little more bloody, and he patted his thigh, and said to Yang Chengzu, Ji Qi and others: "Order, order the army to turn around and march towards Luyang Pass, take Luyang Pass and Danxia Pass, use the watershed as a barrier, and wait for the opportunity to move!" ”

At this time, Tongguan completely lost the joy after the victory, and the Ming army was shrouded in the shadow of Fu Zonglong's defeat and death. Now Fu Zonglong's tragic death made Wang Qiaonian sad, and after crying, Wang Qiaonian swore to avenge Fu Zonglong, and then sent troops to go deep into Mizhi to level Li's station, and razed all the villages related to Li Zicheng's family, including many innocent people.

Zhu Ping'an tried his best to dissuade him, but Wang Qiaonian insisted on going his own way. At the same time, the imperial court ordered Wang Qiaonian to succeed him as the governor of Shaanxi, and the governor led the trilateral people, Sun Chuanting, He Renlong, Li Guoqi, Yang Wenyue, Hu Dawei, Zhu Ping'an, etc. were all restrained.

Wang Qiaonianyuan agreed with Zhu Ping'an and Qian Songli that Qian Songli would distribute the materials evenly and distribute them to the Shaanxi army, Hebei army, and regimental training.

But when it came to the end, Wang Qiaonian went back on his word, and with a wave of his hand, he gave most of the grain, grass, gold and silver, all to Li Guoqi and Gao Jie under He Renlong, which also caused extreme dissatisfaction among Yang Wenyue, Sun Chuanting, Zhu Ping'an and others.

Especially Qian Songli, he was even more annoyed and angry, originally a small part of this material belonged to him, the prison army, but now it is greatly discounted, but Wang Qiaonian's temper of no one in his eyes and insisting on going his own way makes him helpless.

"That Wang Qiaonian is also Governor Fu's best friend, and he keeps saying that he wants to avenge him, but in the end, he doesn't dare to tear his face with He Renlong, but instead comes to deduct our supplies, let's talk about it, what a reason!"

Sun Chuanting sighed, "Haven't the prison guards seen it clearly?" The governor is eager for revenge, so that he can encircle all the departments of the Shaanxi army. ”

Yang Wenyue said curiously, "What is the truth of this? If it weren't for He Renlong, how could Governor Fu be defeated and die? ”

Hu Dawei snorted, "What else can it be!" We have been fighting for many years, but the Shaanxi army has already begun to support the army to protect itself, and now the Shaanxi army accounts for half of the 70,000 troops in Tongguan, and Governor Wang wants to take revenge, and must rely on the Shaanxi army! ”

Sun Chuanting nodded, "What General Hu said is very true, Governor Wang wants to overhead He Renlong and directly command the Shaanxi army, so he deliberately enveloped Li Guoqi and others!" ”

Among the people present, except for Qian Songli, they are all military generals now, and although Sun Chuanting is a civil official, he has always held a military position, so he can see it quite thoroughly.

What Wang Qiaonian couldn't see was that the Shaanxi army had become He Renlong's private soldiers, and the two thousand soldiers under his command were also the most elite soldiers and horses of the Shaanxi army, and the most critical combat power. The rest of Li Guoqi, Gao Jie and others have to rely on their noses to serve in the Shaanxi army, and now the general army of a province is essentially getting closer and closer to the feudal town, although the governor is high, but the power is not heavy enough.

Wang Qiaonian didn't trust Zhu Ping'an and others, so he bet on the Shaanxi army, but as everyone knows, Li Guoqi and Gao Jie and other generals can only obey He Renlong's orders, because if one is not careful, they will die and be wiped out. It's a pity that Wang Qiaonian, who is high in the sky, can't understand this, and he hasn't learned a lesson from Fu Zonglong's tragedy.

In this regard, Zhu Ping'an could only sigh secretly, the trend of the battle between Shanxi and Henan is not good!

Now, the eight families on the right side of the mountain have not been exterminated, and most of the chess pieces planted by the Manchu Qing in the pass have also been cleared, it can be said that Zhu Ping'an has gained a lot from the Shandong operation this time, although he also wants to try his best to save the Ming army in the Guannai in the crisis, but now it seems that with a cadre and generals, Zhu Ping'an's goal is difficult to achieve.

Therefore, the top priority is to get out of the battlefields in Shanxi and Henan immediately, and when you return to Shandong, you can contact Lu Zhenfei. Now that the passage of grain has to pass through Shandong, there is a reasonable excuse for Shandong and Jianghuai to be connected.

Shandong is a place of four wars, and its strategic depth is narrow, and if it can become one with Jianghuai, the shape of the future will be greatly changed.

But the key is, how to break free from the current situation, Zhu Ping'an thought for a long time, and decided to think of a way from the Battle of Ningjin.

Huang Taiji personally conquered Jinzhou, and he and Hong Chengchou were caught in a bitter battle, the two sides attacked and defended each other, and the war also fell into a stalemate.

After receiving supplies and reinforcements from Dengzhou, the Shandong army on Phi Island had already begun to prepare to move to the sea east of Jinzhou, and according to Zhu Ping'an's idea, it was to take the chestnut from the fire and create an opportunity to attract the Qing army to the south, and thus create an opportunity for himself to leave Shaanxi. Because Zhu Ping'an knew that Emperor Chongzhen would never allow his last retreat to have problems. (To be continued) R655
