Chapter 572: The Hero's Wish!
~~~~~~~
Zhang Xianzhong really wants to die.
But people are like this, when you are poor, you may be fearless, full of endless courage and motivation, willing to cut your body, dare to pull the emperor off the horse!
But once you have enjoyed the wealth and glory and the beauty of the world, your courage will become smaller and smaller, and you will cherish your life more and more, as long as there is a glimmer of possibility of survival, you will not let it go easily.
As the saying goes, people go to high places, and water flows to low places.
It is difficult for a person to climb to a high place, but it may only take a moment to fall to a low place.
The person who climbs to a high place is strong, but the person who climbs to a high place and falls to a low place is also strong, after all, people always miss, horses always stumble, and no one can guarantee that they will not make mistakes in their lifetime!
But the person who can fall from a high place and get back up again is really the strongest!
Throughout the 5,000 years of Chinese history, there are only a handful of such heroes!
A little farther away, such as the Three Kingdoms hero big-eared thief, a generation of strange women Wu Cao, and a little closer, such as Wen Zhenggong, the leader of the Hunan Army, and the great man who likes to smoke red pandas in later generations.
Zhang Xianzhong naturally didn't know about the Daoist and the great man, but he knew the big-eared thief and Wu Cao.
At this time, there was only one belief in his heart, 'Alive, everything is still possible!' He still has a chance to make a comeback! But if he died in the hands of these nobodies, I'm afraid that future generations of historians would not bother to mention him, right? β
"I'm really Zhang Xianzhong! This is my seal! Hurry up and call Liu Ruyi, he will definitely give you a fortune! Zhang Xianzhong was really anxious, and hurriedly took out the fuse of his 'Eight Kings' from his arms and handed it to the soldiers around him.
The pro-soldier was also a little stunned, and hurriedly took Zhang Xianzhong's letter and checked it carefully.
Most of the soldiers of the Caishi Army are literate, which is also a mandatory requirement for Liu Ruyi.
Later generations have proved countless historical realities that the higher the level of education, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the army.
Just like the student army of the national army, which was composed of all high school students, in the battle in northern Jiangsu, our army suffered a lot.
"I, I said, Ma San, this, this seal letter is afraid to be true! This, this guy is really a thief! You, you kid is really developed this time! β
When a few pro-soldiers compared, they almost knew in their hearts that the thief had always been strict, and in his army, no one dared to pretend to be his seal!
"I said Ma San, did you burn high incense today! This, this great wealth can actually be picked up by you! Yes~~! It's really ......"
"The third master is mighty! Ascension is just around the corner! β
The brothers around him hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate, but Ma San, the pro-soldier who grabbed the thief with his own hands, was a little panicked.
Wipe! This, this is the sacrifice of thieves? Isn't it a dream?
Isn't he three-headed and six-armed? Just now, I seemed to slap him in the face just now, which ......
Zhang Xianzhong looked at the expressions of these pro-soldiers, and couldn't help but feel a sadness in his heart.
Men can't lose!
If you lose, don't say you're a man, I'm afraid you won't even be able to be a ghost!
"Are you really a thief?" Ma San was still a little unconvinced, and asked Zhang Xianzhong again.
Zhang Xianzhong nodded bitterly, "If you hand me over to your grandfather, you won't know the way!" β
At this time, hearing the shouts here, Jia Dazhuang also rushed over.
"General!"
"General!"
The pro-soldiers hurriedly saluted Jia Dazhuang, but Jia Dazhuang didn't have time to pay attention, and hurriedly said to the pro-soldiers beside him: "Quick, go to the river to get a basin of water and wash his face!" β
"Yes!" The soldiers hurriedly rushed to the river, took some water from the kettle at random, and washed Zhang Xianzhong's face.
Jia Dazhuang investigated carefully, and suddenly couldn't help but be overjoyed, "The body is long and thin, and the face is slightly yellow, and he must be one foot six inches!" Hahaha! Hahaha! What a thief! Someone! Tie up Lao Tzu, and report to the grandfather of the country quickly! β
"Yes!" The soldiers were overjoyed and quickly got busy.
~~~~~
"The thief has bowed down!"
"The thief has bowed down! Don't you surrender quickly! β
In a moment, the news of Zhang Xianzhong's capture had spread on the battlefield, and the sound was earth-shattering!
In the middle of the battle formation, Li Dingguo, who was entangled with Zhang Mu to the death, almost lost his breath when he heard it!
How is this possible? He has already entangled the energy of most of the cavalry here, how come his father hasn't escaped yet?
This, this can't be!
But at this time, Zhang Mu also found that Li Dingguo was in a trance, and the steel knife in his hand suddenly exerted force, raised his hand and stabbed Li Dingguo's heart.
Li Dingguo instinctively held a gun to block, but who knows, Zhang Mu was just a false knife, and in an instant, Zhang Mu's body jumped high, flew up with a kick, and went straight to Li Dingguo's face!
Li Dingguo was uneasy, he didn't expect Zhang Mu to be so despicable, he didn't have time to react, he was kicked to the ground by Zhang Mu, and just wanted to struggle to get up!
But I heard Zhang Muha laugh and said, "It's also a bit capable!" It's not in vain that the grandfather of the country appreciates you so much! Tie me up, brethren! Lao Tzu went to the side of the grandfather of the country to ask for credit for you! β
"Wow~~!" The soldiers around him couldn't help but be overjoyed, and with a wild scream, they pressed Li Dingguo to the ground and tied them into zongzi!
~~~~~~
With the surrender of the thief, the frontal battlefield stabilized.
As for those 'small fish and shrimp', they have not affected the overall situation!
At this time, Liu Ruyi was also escorted by the pro-military camp and came to the frontal battlefield and met the well-known thief.
Zhang Xianzhong also noticed Liu Ruyi, who was dressed in silver armor and wearing a gold-inlaid gold helmet.
In the Caishi Army, the only person who can have gold ornaments is Liu Ruyi!
"Is Your Excellency Liu Ruyi, the Duke of Qi? Hehe! I've admired a great name for a long time! Zhang Xianzhong sneered slightly, and was actually anti-guest, and took the lead in saying to Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi didn't expect that Zhang Xianzhong could still have such arrogance at this point, so he couldn't help but nod slightly, and said with a smile: "The prestige of the eight kings, Ruyi has also admired it for a long time!" It's a pity that although we have fought several times, this is the first time we really meet! β
Looking at Liu Ruyi, who was more than ten years younger than himself in front of him, Zhang Xianzhong smiled bitterly, "Qi Guogong, Zhang is a general of the defeated army, but it is not worth Qi Guogong's words!" Zhang also hates it in his heart! It's a pity that we have fought many times, but Zhang has no victory! β
Liu Ruyi smiled, "The Eight Kings are also the heroes of the world!" If it weren't for the enemy, I think we would be friends! β
Zhang Xianzhong sighed deeply, "Be friends with Qi Guogong, hehe?" Zhang doesn't have this blessing! In my opinion, in this world, the people who can be friends with Qi Guogong are afraid that they have not been born yet, right? β
Liu Ruyi's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and after a moment, he smiled and said, "Eight kings, this world is actually very big!" It's not the little bit of land in front of you, the Eight Kings! If possible, I can even help you go to the South Seas, to the Americas, to Africa, or even to Europe! In this way, there will be no conflict, and you and I will never be enemies again! β
Zhang Xianzhong was stunned, he knew that he was in the South Seas, but he didn't know where Liu Ruyi was talking about the Americas, Africa, and Europe, so he hurriedly said: "I implore the Duke of Qi to solve his doubts for the defeat!" β
Liu Ruyi smiled, waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to bring two pots of wine, and the war on the side was slightly hot, handed a wine jug to Zhang Xianzhong's hand, and took a sip of it himself, and then said: "Brother Zhang, the meaning of Ruyi is very simple!" In this world, there is a lot of land! It's not just us! For example, the Wa Kingdom in the east, the South Seas in the south, the Eurasian continent in the west, and the American continent across the sea! These are rich enough lands! We Han people should get out of the rut, instead of just staring at the little interests in front of us, fighting to the death! β
Zhang Xianzhong understood Liu Ruyi's intentions, and his heart couldn't help but rise with a huge desire to survive, and his voice trembled a little, "Qi Guogong, you, what do you mean, are you still willing to give me Zhang a chance to atone for his sins?" β
At this time, Zhang Mu arrived with Li Dingguo!
Zhang Mu knelt on one knee, pointed to Li Dingguo beside him, and said respectfully to Liu Ruyi: "Grandpa Guo, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, and the young general captured Li Dingguo!" β
"Huh! Not bad! Didn't disappoint me! Get up! Come, warm up with a sip of hot wine! Liu Ruyi smiled and handed the wine jug in his hand to Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu is overjoyed!
What an honor it should be to share a pot of wine with Grandpa Guo!
Without thinking about it, he poured the wine into his stomach with all his might, but when he reacted, he forgot what this wine tasted like!
"Father, father, you, you're fine!" Although Li Dingguo was tied up by five flowers, he looked in the direction of Zhang Xianzhong with concern.
Zhang Xianzhong shook his head a little bitterly, "Yichun!" I think I, Zhang, think of myself as a hero in my life, but today I met Qi Guogong and had a conversation, and I realized that I was just a frog at the bottom of the well! Lost in the hands of Qi Guogong, I am convinced! β
Li Dingguo looked at Liu Ruyi on the side with some suspicion, but did not speak.
Liu Ruyi looked at Li Dingguo with a smile, nodded slightly, and didn't say anything, but turned his head to Zhang Xianzhong and said: "Brother Zhang, as the head of the first army, I think Brother Zhang also knows in his heart that there are many things, and we can't help ourselves!" β
Zhang Xianzhong didn't understand what Liu Ruyi meant, but he also nodded.
Liu Ruyi smiled and pulled out the steel knife on his waist, "Brother Zhang, although I really hope to help you fulfill my long-cherished wish!" But ~~~, you have done too much evil in Daming! If I let you go, even if the court lets me go, I, Liu Ruyi, will be punished by God! So, today, your life, I must stay! However, your righteous son, Li Dingguo, can also be regarded as a dragon and phoenix among people, and I can hand over your wish to him to fulfill it! And, I can assure you here! As long as he is not on the land of Huaxia, I will give him the greatest funding! β
Zhang Xianzhong understood what Liu Ruyi meant at this time, and his face couldn't help but be a little pale!
He suddenly found that the young man in front of him, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain, was simply a dragon among people, and he was his enemy, he was really too naΓ―ve!
"Qi Guogong, hehe! Unexpectedly, I, Zhang, made compromises, but in the end, I still couldn't avoid death! Hehe! I, Zhang, have been crisscrossing my Ming Dynasty since I was a teenager, and over the years, I have killed not 10,000 people, but 8,000, and it is worth it! It's just that before I die, I hope that you, Duke Qi Guo, can fulfill one of my wishes! Zhang Xianzhong stared at Liu Ruyi's eyes and said.
