"Blind man! You brute of cruelty! Do you have that life to sit on the dragon chair? Mother-in-law and aunt can be abducted by wild men, you can eat your dream fart! ......, Lao Tzu went underground to see how you died! ……”

Luo Rucai dragged his injured leg and fled to the middle of Li Zicheng's tent. Seeing that he was being pointed at with knives and guns all around, Luo Rucai landed on the ground with a knife and pointed at Li Zicheng and scolded.

Li Zicheng looked at Luo Rucai calmly and said, "Brother Luo! Go all the way! Then he turned and walked out of the tent.

Luo Rucai looked around in despair, only to see a few people first holding knives and forcing up. What makes Luo Rucai chill is that these people are the Taibao under him, and they want to use their heads as a sign of refuge in Li Zicheng.

Before he died, Luo Rucai wanted to know Lu Dao: Why did they betray themselves? So he asked, "For what?" ”

"Godfather! The prince is about to sit in the world, and we can all be officials. We don't want to be bandits with you anymore. The Eighth Taibao, who was still relatively honest, answered Luo Rucai's question.

As soon as he heard this, Luo Rucai seemed to have all the strength in his body drained, and he didn't even have the heart to raise a knife to resist.

"What nonsense! Kill him. Li Shuangxi, who was supervising the battle in the back, shouted.

The knives of the Taibao immediately stabbed .......

After crossing the Yellow River in Shaanzhou, the combined forces of Li and Luo launched a new offensive frenzy in Shanxi. In just half a month, nearly 10 counties, including Liankeyuncheng, Wenxi, Jiangxian, Quwo, and Hongdong, eventually formed a vast base area with Linfen as the center.

In this round of attack, the Li and Luo combined forces basically did not encounter any resistance, and all the states and counties either fled in desperation or surrendered their cities, and the strength of the Li and Luo combined forces was further strengthened.

But just when the battalions of peasant armies were celebrating their victory. On the first day of the 11th month of the leap month, Li Zicheng invited Luo Rucai to the old camp in Linfen for a banquet in the name of holding a banquet. Because Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai's troops were stationed outside the city of Linfen City, the strength of the two armies was about the same, and the two armies were jointly controlled in the city, so Luo Rucai ignored the persuasion of his military advisor Xuanqi and happily went to the banquet. However, during the banquet, Luo Rucai was ambushed by Li Zicheng's soldiers outside the tent and brought by himself, but in fact, he had already taken refuge in Li Zicheng's Taibao and executed together.

Then, Li Zicheng immediately sent troops to surround the leaderless Cao Ying. He also announced to the soldiers of Cao Ying that Luo Rucai was guilty of "collaborating with the enemy", indicating that the execution was a last resort. During this period, Li Zicheng tried his best to appease Cao Ying's other soldiers except for Xuanqi, the military advisor of Cao Ying, who had been advising Luo Rucai to be wary of Li Zicheng's fire. even accepted Luo Rucai's son as his own son, to show that this fire was only aimed at Luo Rucai and Xuan Jue.

Thereupon. Cao Ying, in addition to Luo Rucai's number one general, Yang Chengzu and Wang Long, etc. With more than 10,000 of their own subordinates, most of them openly broke with Li Zicheng, and the vast majority of the other more than 50,000 soldiers and horses took refuge in the camp. And Li Zicheng was also busy calming the chaos in Cao Ying, and did not hunt down Yang Chengzu and others for the time being.

However, after more than ten days of reorganization, the independence of each battalion in the camp has been greatly weakened, and with the addition of nearly 30,000 veterans from the three sides in the Cao camp, the strength of the camp has taken a leap. Therefore. Far from being unaffected by the fire, the camp was truly organizationally unified.

And Luo Rucai's killing was only due to the difference between him and Li Zicheng's concept of rebellion, not his own fault. And Luo Rucai himself is very moral. Back then, Zhang Xianzhong wanted to kill Li Zicheng, but it was Luo Rucai who interceded and let him go. Later, Li Zicheng wanted to kill Zhang Xianzhong, but it was Luo Rucai who sent 500 horses to release Zhang Xianzhong. And no matter who he joins the army, Luo Rucai always stoops to others, has no big ambitions, and is content to become a deputy to assist Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong, so logically speaking, Li Zicheng has indeed done something black.

However, the situation of the peasant army has developed to the point where reunification is needed, and the upper and lower levels of the camp also have their own interests and demands, so Luo Rucai also had to become a victim and a stepping stone, which made Li Zicheng a unique position in the peasant army.

As a heroic figure, Luo Rucai did show amazing military genius, and he did die quite tragically. But he is a man who has no ambitions and does not follow the trend. After all, he was killed by his own vision.

After integrating the soldiers and horses of each battalion, the battalion on the one hand encircled and suppressed the fleeing Yang Chengzu troops, and on the other hand, they drove to Taiyuan, wanting to conquer the entire territory of Shanxi first.

Seeing that the soldiers and horses were getting farther and farther, the Runing Army left a town of Yang Rusong at the junction of Kaifeng Prefecture and Henan Prefecture, and a town of Liang Hui and Chen Yongfu in the Dabie Mountain area, and the rest of the army went south and threw themselves into the battle of encircling and suppressing Zhang Xianzhong's peasant army.

At the same time, in the middle of leap November, Zhou Xun and Zhang Biao of the Runing Army sent out two partial divisions and occupied the entire territory of Ruzhou and Nanyang Prefecture respectively. And the one who led the Runing Army into Nanyang Mansion City was He Jin of the Fifth Battalion of the Yuan Revolution Left, who entered Nanyang Mansion City as an assistant commander and a staff general. Seeing the people of Nanyang cheering and greeting, He Jin couldn't help but secretly wiped his tears, and his mood was agitated. This big husband has only done this for this in his life!

And after hearing that there was an internal bar within the Li and Luo coalition armies, Emperor Chongzhen was also very excited. Under the strict orders of Emperor Chongzhen, the imperial court also showed rare efficiency. In addition to ordering Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides, and the Jin army of Shanxi to attack the camp from the north and south, they also asked Yu Zilian's Heiyun army and Wu Shigong's Runing army to cross the Yellow River to participate in the encirclement and suppression. Even the imperial court "spent a lot of money" and transferred 30,000 troops from the capital camp to the west to participate in the encirclement and suppression.

It is obvious how wishful thinking the decisions of Emperor Chongzhen and the imperial court were. And the commanders of all walks of life also frowned, thinking about what reason to find to shirk this unrealistic edict. But before these governors could come up with a reason to shirk, another major event happened that shocked the world.

In November of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji drove his own expedition and led the Qing army of more than 116,000 people, divided into left and right wings from the Jielingkou in the north of Funing and the Huangyakou in the north of Jizhou to attack the Great Wall, and then easily took Qian'an, Sanhe, Jizhou and other important towns.

The Qing army that stayed in Shengjing was less than 20,000. This is the fifth time that the Qing army has entered the customs, and the fourth time to attack the vicinity of Beijing.

The third entrance battle broke out! (To be continued......)
