Li Zicheng watched his troops running chaotically on the avenue, and the soldiers all looked dejected. He couldn't help but shake his head, three attempts to open the seal were unsuccessful, and it was indeed too much of a psychological blow to the camp.

Song Xiance rode over on a horse, and as soon as he saw Li Zicheng, he immediately arched his hand on the horse and said, "King Chuang!" Sorry! The students didn't expect that General Wu would send troops so quickly. ”

Li Zicheng squeezed out a smile to Song Xiance, he waved his hand, pretended not to care, and said, "What's the matter with Mr. Guan?" Bad luck! Hey——! ”

Li Zicheng will not anger others for no reason. Before the war, in addition to some errors in estimating the strength of the Runing army, Song Xiance had an accurate judgment on whether the Runing army would send troops.

And if the battle is not fought well, it is the matter of the generals and troops who broke into the camp, and it has nothing to do with Song Xiance's military divisions. Therefore, the current Li Zicheng's reliance on Song Xiance can be said to have not declined, but has gone to a higher level.

"That student has a few more words to say!" After the opening remarks, Song Xiance was about to say the main content.

"Sir, please speak!"

"Now that we break into camp and retreat, all we need is time. If General Soldier Runing Wu pushes too hard, our injuries will also hurt our muscles and bones. Therefore, the students thought: Send another envoy to talk to General Wu. Song Xiance said.

"Then how can Butcher Wu talk? How can you talk about it? They all beat to death like this, and they still daydreamed about the blue sky. Liu Zongmin, who was listening to the words, immediately shouted.

"Zong Min! What are you doing? Li Zicheng immediately opened his mouth and scolded, and then he said to Song Xiance, "Sir, don't care about this rough man, you are a character like Zhuge Liang, and my old Li is listening here." ”

Song Xiance still maintained a respectful attitude, bowed slightly and said, "Go and talk to General Wu." His current position of power comes from encircling and suppressing our rebels. If our rebels are cornered, he is not afraid that the birds will hide from the bow? It is better for both sides to give way, talk about a territory, and not interfere with each other. ”

"Then will Butcher Wu agree?" Gao Yigong on the side asked strangely.

"Dare to ask General Gao, have you seen General Wu's soldiers coming up? The student estimated that he was also waiting for our messenger. But we also need to be quick, for fear that he will change his mind then. Break the king! Generals! If you think about it carefully, when the Eight Kings were cornered by the left thief, he also said this to the left thief. Song Xiance seemed to be confident.

Indeed, when the combined forces of Li and Luo retreated in front of the Runing army in the middle lane. The Runing army did not follow the pursuit. And the generals of King Chuang were all busy running away at that time, and they didn't notice this abnormality at all, but now after being reminded by Song Xiance, they immediately came back to their senses.

"Mr. Song! I'm going to bother you about that. Pick one that is more articulate and go to the warehouse to pick up a gift at will. It's okay to take more. As long as you get things done, those possessions are nothing to be had. It's that Wu butcher who wants military merit. Also....... Hey——! Li Zicheng said without hesitation.

But when it came to the worst, Li Zicheng remembered that he had gone back again. When he was on the run, he sent the heads of some old and weak women and children to be beheaded by the officers and soldiers, which was what he often did when he was a rogue. And now that Li Zicheng is about to establish a regular regime, the protection of the people is the first priority, and at least some façade work must be done. But for this time I got out. Li Zicheng returned to the nature of a rogue, which made him feel quite aggrieved.

Seeing Li Zicheng's sigh, Song Xiance comforted again: "King Chuang!" You don't have to be discouraged at all. This time it was just an accident, in terms of strength. Let's break into the camp no worse than General Wu's soldiers. ”

"Oh!" Li Zicheng was in good spirits, and at this time, he just wanted to hear some words to boost morale.

"You think, what we originally envisioned was to encircle Kaifeng and ambush General Wu's troops, and our troops were superior to our camp. But no one expected that in the direction of Lankao County in the east, an officer army suddenly appeared. In this way, we will break into the camp to take care of one and lose the other, resulting in passivity. In addition, General Wu's style of play was a little different from that of other officers and soldiers, so we ran up and suffered a loss. It's really the next time we meet, as long as we have precautions, we will have an advantage over him. ”

"Mr. Song said it well!" Without waiting for Li Zicheng to speak, Liu Zongmin immediately shouted, "Hurry up and pass the order down and spread Mr. Song's words to the ears of every soldier." ”

Song Xiance also nodded to Liu Zongmin in thanks. He secretly thought in his heart: "This Liu Zongmin doesn't look rude on the outside, but he has a seven-trick exquisite heart. Every word he said and everything he did tickled Li Zicheng's itch, but he made the appearance of offending everyone and eliminated the threat to Li Zicheng's status, no wonder he became the number two person who broke into the camp. ”

Song Xiance also offered advice to Li Zicheng: "Now that we break into the camp and leave, and the siege of Kaifeng City is lifted, then the officers and troops of Lankao will definitely compete with General Wu's soldiers." We can forge a letter from General Wu to collaborate with the enemy, pretending to be lost in the hands of the officers and soldiers in Lankao without paying attention. If the imperial court kills General Wu, it will just remove a great enemy for us. Even if we are not fooled, the officers and soldiers from all walks of life will also have heart problems in the future, and they will be on their own, so that we have an opportunity to take advantage of it. ”

"Okay!" Li Zicheng slapped his thigh happily and said happily, "With you, sir, my old Li is really like a tiger." ”

"King Chuang! The student has one more thing to say. Song Xiance saw that Li Zicheng's cronies were all around, and then whispered: "If we are facing the enemy, even if we break into the camp and have the advantage, the advantage is limited." In case of war, it will be a situation where the snipe and the clam are fighting. And Cao Cao is not very obedient this time! ……”

Li Zicheng immediately lowered his face and nodded at Song Xiance: "I understand what you mean, Lao Li." If there is a future, my old Li Ding will share the world with you, Mr. and your brothers. ”

……

"Tell your king: You Shaanxi people will go back to Shaanxi, whatever you want, don't come to our Henan again." Facing the envoy sent by Li Zicheng, Wu Shigong pretended to be a rude military attaché, and the swear words were continuous, "Grass! made our Henan uneasy, and let our Yujun be scolded by the elders of our hometown poked in the back? I only gave these gifts, and the scrap copper and rotten iron were worthless goods. Luoyang has been defeated, I don't know if Lu Dao will send some concubines and palace maids in the palace? Forget it, this time the official will be generous, let you live, and make friends on the rivers and lakes. There will be another time, don't blame the official for being unkind. ”

"Thank you, General Wu!" Those envoys immediately laughed and said, "I will definitely bring General Wu's words to King Chuang." ”

When the messenger left, Xue Yongli smiled and said to Wu Shigong: "Uncle! You've done a little too much, right? Who would believe this look? ”

"Maybe they really do." Wu Shigong also said with a smile, "What do outsiders think of me, then I'll perform like this!" It's called to give them something cool and make them happy. ”

"Haha——!" The two of them immediately looked at each other and laughed.

After laughing for a while, Xue Yongli said again: "That Rusong and Shumo have been fighting hard, and they have exterminated nearly 20,000 thieves before and after. Let them take it easy, they are coming hard. ”

"I didn't expect that. Doesn't that Shumo like to shrink in his own turtle shell? How did you turn around and fight an offensive battle? It looks like it's too hot these days, and his brain is a little burned. Wu Shigong also joked.

"Haha——!"

"There was a bit of a rough fight in Zug, but the casualties weren't great. However, he received a letter of accusation, and in order to hurry, they killed more than 20,000 women and children of the people and thieves in Pegasus. Xue Yongli said again.

Wu Shigong nodded and said, "I just learned about this. Reply to the letter and let him rest assured! It's been a bad year, and the people can't survive. In order to save more people, sometimes I can only do things against my will. Hey—"

Seeing that Wu Shigong's mood was a little low, Xue Yongli immediately diverted the topic: "Anyway, the Li thief came to the peace talks, but it was exactly what we wanted." We didn't want to fight with him in the first place, if he could leave, in fact, for our Runing Army, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages. ”

"Exactly!" Wu Shigong also nodded, "Otherwise, who will let them go?" At the very least, let them break their bones. But the situation is even better now. Then Li Zicheng was generous, and the things he gave me were more than 100,000 taels. But it's all antique jade, and it's also very troublesome to sell. Even gold and silver are very small, it is better to send us food at a discount, and save us our own trouble! ”

"Uncle, don't let Shopkeeper Yuan hear this!" Xue Yongli also joked. Every time the Runing Army dealt with the seizure, it made the Four Seas Commercial Bank make a fortune, so Xue Yongli made such a joke.

"Herald! Let Zug get out of the way, and also tell Rusong not to chase too closely, Kaifeng City, just Uncle Yongli, you go! After thinking about it for a while, Wu Shigong began to order.

"What? Uncle, don't you go to Kaifeng? Xue Yongli was surprised.

Wu Shigong nodded: "There are too many officials there, and I'm not comfortable with hypocrisy, so I won't go into the city." But Uncle Yongli, after you go to Kaifeng, you have to let Chen Yongfu come over obediently. ”

"Hmm!" Xue Yongli also nodded, "That's fine." Anyway, we also managed to solve the siege and Kaifeng, and kept our promises to let the thieves escape. There are explanations on both sides, and the reputation of your daughter is estimated to be even louder, uncle. ”

"Who wants that fame!" Wu Shigong waved his hand modestly and smiled, "Actually, I have a whisper to your Uncle Yongli, I am a little tired of keeping my word for so many years." I've been wondering when I can regret my promise once, and it would be good to yin others. ”

"Haha——!" (To be continued......)
