Chapter 36: See Li Zicheng
Hou Fangyu persuaded Hou Sui not to let go of Zhang Biwu.
"Alas!" After hearing this, Hou Sui let out a long sigh and said, "Okay! Guoxiong real gold is not afraid of fire! I believe that Kunio is innocent! Hou Sui said that this magnificent remark was not kept, it was just a cover for him to want to kill people, so his reputation was bad.
Hou Fangyu asked again: "Father, I proposed to give up Henan to the people, and then surround him, Henan is ruined, and let the thieves starve to death in Henan!" I don't know this good policy, the emperor can adopt it! ”
Hou Sui glared at Hou Fangyu and said, "Stupid! Your plan has made the emperor very angry! I shouldn't have let you do any wrong! Should stop you! You can't write this stupid recital! ”
Hou Fangyu heard Hou Sui's words, and he shrugged his head. Especially Hou Sui's words made him feel harsh: "Look at it, Zhang Biwu is the same age as you, although he is only a little older than you, but what about others?" They are all famous all over the country and famous generals all over the world! His plans, his ideas, are beyond your match! It's hard for you to be one of the four sons of the Ming Dynasty! But compared to Zhang Biwu, you are too bad! Too bad! Alas! You are all using the reputation of my Hou family! ”
It is said that Hou Fangyu is self-contained, he hates Zhang Biwu a little now, why is Zhang Biwu better than himself? Chen Zilong, Yang Youlong, etc. all value Zhang Biwu! Including Li Xiangjun, when she talked about the world's famous generals, she was also full of praise for Zhang Biwu! This made Hou Fangyu churn with vinegar.
Now even my own father says the same! This made Dehou Fangyu too uncomfortable! He's the head of the Restoration! It's a fame at home! is the best in the eyes of readers, why should he be compared to a martial artist? The world of the Ming Dynasty is dominated by literati, but now you let Zhang Biwu be pressed by a martial artist, how can Hou Fangyu swallow this breath!
Hou Sui sent someone to monitor Zhang Biwu's every move, Zhang Biwu trusted Hou Fangyu too much, he didn't expect Hou Fangyu to say that his father would spy on him, which was not good for him.
In order to save millions of people in Kaifeng, Zhang Biwu still went to Li Zicheng, hoping to reach an agreement to prevent Kaifeng City from being destroyed by floods.
Zhang Biwu secretly galloped to Li Zicheng's old camp, of course, now Li Zicheng's old camp is called Marshal Xingyuan.
As soon as he got near, he saw a short man, who was limping, who was a lame. In this way, he is Song Xiance!
It's just that Zhang Biwu always feels very familiar when he looks at Song Xiance, as if he has seen it somewhere, but he can't remember it for a while.
"Ha Lu Ha! The world-famous General Guoxiong, it's great that you're here! It's a great pleasure to be able to pay homage to the general's face again! Song Xiance greeted him, and he was also accompanied by a handsome literati.
Zhang Biwu was surprised, he looked at Song Xiance and asked, "Are you Song Xiance Song Junshi?" You say we've met? How come I don't remember? ”
"Ha Lu Ha!" Song Xiance laughed and said, "We met, but it was a few years ago, and it was normal for General Guoxiong to forget things a lot, and not to remember!" A few years ago, General Guoxiong had just left Datong Town, and met a Taoist priest in the deep mountains, and this Taoist priest was me! At that time, General Guoxiong also gave me baked cakes and gave me money! I remember this very well! ”
"Ha Lu Ha!" Zhang Biwu laughed, he only remembered after Song Xiance said it, there is indeed such a thing, after so many years, he has forgotten it, it is rare that Song Xiance still remembers.
What Song Xiance said was: "General Guoxiong is high-spirited, and he doesn't want to repay his kindness!" It's normal to forget! And I keep in mind the kindness, and one day I will repay the kindness of General Guoxiong! ”
Zhang Biwu smiled, now that Song Xiance is by his side, it will be much easier. So Zhang Biwu begged Song Xiance for help, that is, to persuade Li Zicheng that he must not let people dig or destroy the dam, and he must protect the flood control dam!
Song Xiance agreed to Zhang Biwu's request with a mouthful of words, because he knew that if the flood collapsed the dam, then their rebel army would also be greatly threatened.
The people on the side also nodded one after another, and he said, "Yes! As a person from Kaifeng Mansion, I also know the horror of the flood! Every year, in order to prevent disasters, the government has to recruit people to build and strengthen the flood control dam! ”
Zhang Biwu looked at this person and asked, "Who is this?" Song Xiance replied: "This is Li Yan, who is known as Li Gongzi!" ”
Zhang Biwu has long admired Li Yan's name, and he knew that Li Yan was killed by Niu Jinxing after the Dao, which made Li Zicheng lose a powerful arm, so Li Zicheng was defeated after the end.
"Li Gongzi! Kunio is polite! Guoxiong has always wanted to get to know Li Gongzi and has no chance, this time I came to Chuang Wang, I just want to get to know Li Gongzi! See you now, what a blessing for your life! Zhang Biwu was very excited, and what he was thinking about at the same time was to prevent Li Yan from dying, which was the best.
Zhang Biwu said: "If you have a chance, Li Gongzi, can you and I talk about the current situation?" But maybe this is Guoxiong's extravagant hope, because I don't know if Li Gongzi is willing to make me a friend? ”
Li Yan was extremely happy and said, "Okay! That's great! I can't ask for it! It is Lin Quan's honor to be able to talk freely with the world-famous General Guoxiong! ”
Bull Venus came out and said, "All right! Everyone, please let it in! After meeting King Chuang, you can have a good chat at the banquet, that's okay! ”
Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "Yes! Mr. Niu is right! Let's go in now! Zhang Biwu said that he actually pulled Li Yan's hand affectionately, and wanted to go in with this big brother Li.
In this process, Niu Jinxing has always held a grudge, because he is now Li Zicheng's most trusted person, Zhang Biwu only reminisced with Song Xiance, which is nothing to say, how to say that he and Song Xiance are also old people, but he is extremely affectionate with Li Yan, but he ignores him and puts him aside, which hurts Niu Jinxing's heart very much.
How can it be said that Niu Jinxing, Liu Tichun, Yuan Zongdi, etc. have all been to Lingbao to see Zhang Biwu together, and they can be regarded as acquaintances, but they were ignored by Zhang Biwu! Why isn't Niu Venus angry?
Niu Jinxing saw that Zhang Biwu and Li Yan seemed to have known each other for a long time, and he was even more annoyed, and he was thinking that Zhang Biwu was an official person after all, and Li Yan was Li Zicheng's cronies and advisers, would Li Yan betray Li Zicheng?
However, Niu Jinxing really wanted Li Yan to be disloyal to Li Zicheng, he knew that only Li Yan threatened his position in Li Zicheng's army, and if he could get rid of Li Yan, Niu Jinxing's position would be stable. As for Song Xiance, there is nothing to worry about, how to say that Song Xiance was also recommended by him to Li Zicheng, and he has been friends with Niu Jinxing for many years, so there is no threat.
Just when Niu Jinxing was thinking about this, Zhang Biwu and the others entered the big tent under the welcome of Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun and others.
If it was usual, Li Zicheng would have come to greet Zhang Biwu in person, but now it is different, Li Zicheng is the generalissimo, and his status is high, he will not come out to meet Zhang Biwu in person, and maybe Li Zicheng and Zhang Biwu will have the possibility of meeting each other, how can they meet the possible enemy?
Li Zicheng was very happy and said, "Ha Lu Ha! Kunio! It's been a long time since we've seen each other! I'm so happy to see you today! ”
Zhang Biwu saluted, and after the old story, Gu Ying suddenly came to report: "Generalissimo, we just let the women in the city come out to look for wild vegetables, and we sometimes distribute some food to them!" ”
Li Zicheng kept nodding his head and said, "Okay! Well done! Gu Ying, you work hard! You're doing a great job! ”
When Zhang Biwu heard this, he was looking at Gu Ying, and he looked at Li Zicheng and his generals, he was thinking about what Li Zicheng meant by letting the people in Kaifeng City come out to look for food and give them back food. But Zhang Biwu thought about it, and he figured it out.
"Good! Great! Li Zicheng smiled, and then said with a compassionate attitude: "I rebelled in order to eliminate tyranny and restore peace to the people!" Alas! I besieged Kaifeng today and I was helpless! It's not that I don't have the ability to break Kaifeng, it's just that I want the people to suffer less damage, and Kaifeng can be preserved, so I just besiege but not attack! ”
Zhang Biwu took Li Zicheng's words and said, "Yes! And the act of breaking the king can be said to be so big that the hearts of the people in Kaifeng City! These women who went out of the city to find wild vegetables and other food in the wilderness must have brought back to the city what had happened to the king's benevolence, where the people's hearts to defend the city would be broken. The hearts of the people in the city are shattered, and who does the government rely on to defend the city? Originally, the city had been trapped for a long time, and the people's hearts had been scattered, and after such a rumor, the city would be even more difficult to defend! Even the officials in the city will feel that they can't hold the city! It's like a ripe fruit that is about to fall, isn't it easy to pick? ”
"Oh!" Li Zicheng couldn't help but glance at Zhang Biwu, because Zhang Biwu was right, the reason why he let the people out of the city was not to pity the people on the surface, but in fact, it was also a clever plan to break the fighting spirit of defending the city, and now Zhang Biwu can see it at a glance. Zhang Biwu is really not simple!
Zhang Biwu is about to go up the line: "King Chuang, I know that you are extremely benevolent and righteous, and the people of the world have praised you!" Now the water of the Yellow River may rise! Please be sure to send more men and horses to the Yellow River dam, but you can't let the Yellow River burst its embankment, and then it will cause a catastrophe! Not only the people of Kaifeng will suffer, but even the hundreds of thousands of troops who break into the king will also be in danger! Please be careful! ”
After Zhang Biwu finished speaking, he left his seat and bowed to Li Zicheng, saying: "King Chuang is leading the teacher of benevolence and righteousness!" I believe that King Chuang will definitely think about the millions of people in Kaifeng! As soon as the Yellow River floods, the entire Kaifeng will become a country! ”
