Thinking of the mountain-like financial expenditure, Wu Shigong felt a little overwhelmed. But now that the situation has become like this, then it is necessary to make a decision first and take one step at a time.

So Wu Shigong, who understood all this, immediately ordered: "Go back and prepare, rest for a day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow the whole army will attack and completely defeat the Shaanxi bandits on the opposite side." Yongzi, don't leave for the time being, and talk about it after participating in the battle the day after tomorrow. Damn it! Lao Tzu is smashing tofu with a hammer, so come to this hammer deal! ”

"Huh!?" The officers exclaimed.

Wu Shigong looked around, and then explained: "I just got the secret report, and the Shaanxi bandits who entered Shanxi on the North Road came back in a circle!" They may soon enter Guide Province, so we need to eliminate the Shaanxi bandits on the opposite side as soon as possible, and then rush to Guide to rescue. Therefore, in the battle after tomorrow, you must move quickly, don't be afraid of the casualties of the sons, that is, to completely defeat the Shaanxi bandits on the opposite side. Do you get it? ”

"No!" The officers immediately took the order.

After the officers all went down, Wu Shigong stayed in the empty tent, remembered Zuo Liangyu who had put himself together, and couldn't help but scold: "This bastard! ”

But at this time, Wu Shigong didn't know that in fact, the peasant rebel armies on the North Road and the East Road were much stronger than he estimated. Although the peasant rebels on the North Road fled when they saw Zhang Yingchang and Cao Wenzhao, their strength was not damaged at all, and even after a large number of displaced people took refuge, their total number soon exceeded 100,000. And when they cross the Yellow River and move towards Guide, the number of displaced people who come to take refuge will increase further.

Among the peasant rebels on the East Road, there were two strong armies, Gao Yingxiang and Luo Rucai. Luo Rucai's troops have always been a relatively small number of peasant rebels, with only more than 30,000 troops until now. But there are more than 20,000 veterans from the three sides, so Luo Rucai's troops have always been the strongest in the field and the fastest in the peasant rebel army.

The number of veterans from the three sides in Gao Yingxiang's army is smaller. There are only about 15,000 people, but there are many young and strong laborers in his army, many of whom are still miners, and the total number of such young and strong people is also more than 40,000, with the veterans of the three sides, in fact, the combat effectiveness of this peasant rebel army on the east road has exceeded the more than 300,000 troops opposite Wu Shigong!

But the wonderful thing about life is that there are constant accidents. Now Wu Shigong is worried about his family, but the leaders of the peasant rebel army on South Road are worried about the situation in front of them.

"It doesn't work either! That won't work either! Then you have a proper way to come out? If there is really no way, I think we can simply surrender to the official dog opposite! Zuo Jin Wang He Jin said indignantly.

As veterans who had grown up in the long war, the leaders of these peasant rebels had a very sensitive sense of smell on the battlefield. After only fighting a few rendezvous with Wu Shigong's Runing army, they touched Wu Shigong's combat intentions.

So in the evening. Zhang Xian, the eight kings, invited the leaders of each battalion to discuss the matter, wanting to come up with a solution to the dilemma in front of him. However, after the leaders of the battalions arrived at Zhang Xianzhong's big tent, Zhang Xianzhong himself did not appear, and these leaders argued with themselves in the big tent.

In the face of his opinions being denied one by one, Zuojin Wang He Jin couldn't help but complain. But his whining words gave some inspiration to the other leaders at once.

The Hengtian King on the side immediately asked, "Then let's surrender again?" ”

"Come on! It also depends on who this deception is used for? He Yilong immediately retorted. Do you think the other side is a civil official full of bookworms? It was a military attache who led the troops there. We have gone by deception, and he has taken away all our possessions. Then he cut off our heads and asked for credit. Shall we go to the king of Yama and complain? Don't cheat and surrender to death! ”

Because the suggestion he put forward was most refuted by He Yilong, so this time when he saw He Yilong open his mouth to refute again, He Jin couldn't suppress his anger, and he shouted loudly: "Then we will really surrender." Anyway, it's just a soldier to get paid, where can't you eat and drink spicy food? With so many of us taking refuge in it, I don't believe that the Ming general on the other side will not be blushing. ”

Although the fifth battalion of Ge Zuo is named after the first character of the nickname of He Yilong and He Jin, the king of Zuojin. But the relationship between these two people is not good. In addition to the reason why one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, there is another reason that the origins and backgrounds of the two are very different.

Like many leaders of the peasant rebel army, he was born in extreme poverty, and his relatives basically died before and after his rebellion.

But He Jin, the king of Zuojin, is the son of a rich man in the countryside. It's just because he has always liked to befriend the ranger, that is, the underworld boss at that time. Therefore, after the peasant rebellion in Shaanxi surged, he was elected as the leader of the peasant rebel army there.

Therefore, He Yilong hated the Ming Dynasty court, and was completely incompatible with the court. However, He Jin's rebellious attitude was not resolute, as long as it could bring him glory and wealth, he did not mind really surrendering to the court.

And the attitude of these two people also made the five battalions of the Revolution Zuo faintly become two factions, not the other three leaders - Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying, Liu Xiyao, the king of the reincarnation and Lin Chengcheng, the king of the troubled times, mediated from them, maybe these two people have already parted ways.

But now, because the three leaders were not in the peasant rebel army on this road, and the pressure brought by the Runing army was too great, this made these two people a little anxious, so the two of them also quarreled many times in the discussion.

So after listening to He Jin's words, He Yilong immediately shouted loudly: "Who dares to surrender to the official dog?" My Lao He immediately became inseparable from him. That is, we fought with the official dog opposite, even if we didn't end well, we have rebelled for so many years, we would have earned it back a long time ago. ”

"If you want to fight, you will fight!" He Jin also did not show weakness, "Anyone can put their mouths out, and if there is a chance to fight, our brothers will also fight." But they couldn't get close to the Ming army on the opposite side, so they were beaten back with artillery and firecrackers, how many brothers are willing to die in this kind of aggrieved way? At the beginning of the rebellion, we were all just trying to eat a bite, but now that we have a big family, can't Weishenme have a good future? Do you want to live like this all your life with your head tied to your belt? Unless you want to go on a dragon chair. But I don't think you He Yilong has this life. ”

Seeing that He Yilong's face was bruised, and his right hand was already on the hilt of the knife, those leaders hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two. King Hengtian also persuaded him: "They are all their own brothers, and everything can be discussed." It's all gone! Let off steam! ”

King Taiping also persuaded on the side: "Our grain and grass are enough, and we can support living for a month, and there is still time to discuss!" Calm down! Calm down! ”

Under the persuasion of those leaders, the two also calmed down. But at this time, the scene was a little cold, and those leaders were also thinking about their own thoughts. To be honest, at the beginning of the rebellion, those leaders really didn't think much, that is, they wanted to survive themselves. But now, their respective futures really need to be considered, so they basically agree with He Jin's opinion. However, due to He Yilong's strong opposition, they could only remain silent for the time being.

And to be able to become the leader of the peasant rebel army, He Yilong's brain will definitely not be stupid. After calming down, he actually knew that his opinion was in the minority, so after muttering for a while, he took the initiative to say to He Jin very sincerely: "My old He family of seventeen people, either starved to death, or was killed, and now I am alone, so some words are a bit excessive, Brother He Jin can be angry after hearing it?" ”

Seeing that He Yilong took the initiative to admit his mistake, He Jin also hurriedly accepted He Yilong's kindness: "What did Brother He say?" We are all surnamed He, and we can't write two congratulatory words with one stroke. Whatever the result, our brothers here will all advance and retreat together. Whoever dares to go it alone should not blame us brothers for turning their faces and denying others. ”

"Yes!" "Yes! "Yes! ”。 The scene immediately eased up. (To be continued......)
