It was also a ghost who sent the gods, so Liu Guoneng blurted out and asked Wu Shigong: "Why is General Wu like this!" After asking, Liu Guoneng couldn't wait to give himself a few slaps. Didn't this question make Butcher Wu see that he already understood Butcher Wu's intentions? If he becomes angry, he will ...... if he is angry now. So Liu Guoneng looked at Wu Shigong with a pleading in despair, which was extremely complicated.

Wu Shigong stared at Liu Guoneng, and a smile was also restrained on his face, and that look made Liu Guoneng feel furious in his heart. After a long while, Wu Shigong laughed a few times without smiling and said, "Jiangnan is rich! ”

Wu Shigong's answer made Liu Guoneng feel weak and almost collapsed on the ground. At least the Wu butcher in front of him didn't shout: "Drag it out and cut it!" "I've passed this hurdle.

So Liu Guoneng kept hypnotizing himself: "Butcher Wu is a love of money!" He doesn't have the heart to rebel! Definitely just want silver! Ask for silver! Hypnotized to zuihou, Liu Guoneng also subconsciously believed the reason Wu Shigong said.

In fact, Wu Shigong was also very helpless at this time. Wu Shigong wanted to disrupt the prisoners of the peasant army, and rushed to Dabie Mountain with his secret agents to join the remnants of the peasant army there, and then made a big fuss about Nanzhili. In this case, there will be many peasant armies, which are easy to control, and will not become bigger.

But now as soon as Liu Guoneng surrendered, he had to put Liu Guoneng in the position of leader. Moreover, Liu Guoneng's reputation and ability are far superior to those of other small peasant army leaders. In this way, all the peasant troops in Nanzhili will definitely gather under Liu Guoneng's account. Therefore, it will be difficult to control in the future, and Liu Guoneng may be reversed again after he becomes bigger.

Although he controlled Liu Guoneng's mother and family, Wu Shigong didn't believe that he could play a big role at all, and it was not unusual for a hero like Liu Guoneng to abandon his family for his own sake. For example, Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao. Of course. Wu Shigong didn't know that Liu Guoneng was a filial son, and he would never let his mother be killed.

What annoyed Wu Shigong even more was that Xue Yongli's hostage-taking behavior was too ruthless. He took the family members of almost all the big and small leaders in Liu Guoneng's camp hostage. Of course, Xue Yongli was for insurance at the time, but now it has brought Wu Shigong a lot of trouble.

You know, if Liu Guoneng agrees to make that "knife" for Wu Shigong, then he will definitely not be able to hide his big and small leaders, everyone knows that his family is in Runingjun, who will not guess the meaning of this?

But in this way, there will be a lot of people. There is no guarantee that someone will betray Liu Guoneng. And after the court knew all this. It will also bring a lot of trouble to Wu Shigong. After all, Wu Shigong also has hostages in Beijing.

Another point, if Wu Shigong is just greedy for Nan Zhili's property, at most, he will kill people as Liu Guoneng guessed. However, Wu Shigong wanted to win the world, so the first famous peasant army commander to surrender to Wu Shigong - Liu Guoneng, who broke through the sky, became a golden horse bone. Wu Shigong was not only unable to kill him. And to give him a beautiful future. In this way, we can set a benchmark and get twice the result with half the effort in the process of future battles.

So the current Wu Shigong is also in a dilemma. That is, Liu Guoneng cannot be recruited immediately. I want to control him again, so I can only take one step at a time. In a word: accidents are everywhere!

Seeing Liu Guoneng in a daze, Wu Shigong then pressed and said: "Actually, you have a third way." This official is not a person who likes to grasp people's weaknesses. So be it! I will return to you all those who have been guests in our camp, so that you will have no worries for the first time, and then you will be in peace with your destiny. What do you think? ”

Liu Guoneng was full of excitement. Even if the butcher Wu in front of him did not break his word and returned those hostages to himself. But the main force of Wu Butcher's Runing Army was also behind him. Moreover, Liu Guoneng also saw in Xinyang that Butcher Wu still had a large army here. With these two ends and a bag of clips, it is already a big fate to be able to escape alone.

Besides, maybe Butcher Wu is testing himself. If he agreed, maybe Butcher Wu would have poisoned him immediately. So Liu Guoneng immediately made a decision: "General Wu! The sinners are willing to choose the second way! May you choose the second way! ”

Hearing Liu Guoneng agreed. Wu Shigong immediately smiled. He said, "Get up!" There is no need to call yourself a 'sinner'. In the future, you will be the garrison of the official, and when you return, at least none of them will be able to escape. You can also rest assured, and your family will be well settled. ”

"Thank you, General Wu!" Liu Guoneng immediately kowtowed again and tried his best to please Wu Shigong. After that, he discussed with Wu Shigong for a while how to carry out the operation of Beizhili.

On November 15, the ninth year of Chongzhen, Liu Guoneng left all the old and weak in the battalion in Xinyang, leaving only the strength of the 4,000 old battalion.

After that, Xue Yongli's Runing Army left all the prisoners in place after selecting some useful talents among the captives. He turned around and returned to Runing. And because those captives had nowhere to eat, after staying for a day, under the instigation of some people, they all threw themselves to Liu Guoneng.

Those who agitated were hundreds of spies sent by the Runing Army, the Yamakawa Division and the Military Intelligence Bureau, and they also successfully blended into the prisoners, and many of them even became small leaders. No matter what, Wu Shigong will not believe Liu Guoneng's unilateral guarantee! He still needs to have a back hand.

Later, after the Runing Army replenished a batch of weapons and food, Liu Guoneng's battalion of more than 40,000 people drove to the Dabie Mountain area. And this sudden large peasant army suddenly caused chaos in the Wuchang area and an uproar in the Ming court!

Because in the last operation of the Runing army in Huguang, a large number of people were requisitioned in this area, and a certain amount of remuneration was also given to the people afterwards, so under the pressure of the thief army, the local people fled south one after another, wanting to enter Runing to avoid this military disaster.

As soon as these 70,000 or 80,000 refugees came, the Runing Army was a little confused. At the behest of Wu Shigong, Zuihou was only able to open the passage for the refugees to temporarily settle on the southern border of Runing Province.

However, after this, the Runing Army found a reason not to pursue Liu Guoneng's department, because no one could tell the difference between the refugees and the peasant army, and the Runing Army always had to ensure the safety of Runing Mansion first!

Of course, the Runing Army still left a cavalry corps to follow behind Liu Guoneng's troops, controlling the direction of Liu Guoneng's movement and preventing him from coming.

In this Xiangyang operation, the Runing Army achieved the predetermined goal of weakening the strength of the peasant army before the war, and successfully drove Liu Guoneng's troops to Nanzhili.

However, due to the arming of Liu Guoneng and the resettlement of Wuchang refugees, coupled with Xue Yongli's recruitment of more than 4,000 veterans of the peasant army, the Runing army also spent a lot of food and materials for relief. This also made the capture of the Runing Army shrink a lot. In general, I am basically satisfied, but in some places people are still not as good as heaven!

When Liu Guoneng's troops approached Huanggang County, they sent a partial division to Huanggang County to show off their might, and the cavalry corps of the Runing Army immediately galloped to Huanggang County to support, and the frightened Huanggang County immediately introduced this support army into the county seat. But the people in the county town didn't know that in this support army, there were Tang Liu's party. They want to carry out the retaliatory actions ordered by Wu Shigong.

"Ladies and gentlemen! You must be mistaken, the little one doesn't have a thief army! In Huanggang County, a man in his fifties dressed as an outsider knelt and pleaded with Runingjun.

"We've already caught the person you connected with the thief army, you are still stubborn, and the whole family will be arrested!" Mr. Qian, who was in charge of the arrest, ordered. The soldiers of Runing, who were surrounding the officer's house, immediately rushed into the house.

"This general! What evidence do you have? I don't know if it's angry or afraid, the magistrate of Huanggang County trembled and asked the Qianzong.

"Didn't you tell the magistrate? He caught a spy sent by his family to the thief army, and said that when the thief army arrived, his family would open the city gate for Neiying. Mr. Qian replied impatiently.

Mr. Qian's words immediately caused a commotion among the onlookers, and at this time, the people in the city would rather believe what they have than what they don't. But Huanggang Zhixian is not so easy to deceive, that person is a big family in the city, and the peasant army wants to kill the official gentry, so it is absolutely impossible for this person to go out and sell it.

Besides, after coming back to his senses, the county magistrate of Huanggang also knew that it was the troops of Deputy General Runing, and a few days ago, it was the outsider who colluded with him to swallow the silver of Deputy General Runing. I thought that the sky was high and the road was far away, and Vice General Runing had no way to come over to retaliate, but I didn't expect that there would be a world report now.

But now, the magistrate of Huanggang is also a grasshopper on the same line as that member, so although he is afraid, the magistrate still has to argue with reason: "Dare to ask the general, where is the bandit now?" ”

"This kind of guy who eats inside and crawls outside has been killed a long time ago!" The Qian general replied with a straight face. Immediately, the Huanggang magistrate was so angry that a Buddha ascended to heaven. Isn't this just empty rhetoric?

So the magistrate of Huanggang County immediately said: "As the general said, it is also necessary to clarify the punishment and determine the crime." It is also necessary for the saint to be decided, and after the general arrests Li Yuanwai, he should be handed over to the local government for sentencing. "Then Huanggang Magistrate still hopes to go through the judicial process and find a way to delay time to save the life of that outsider.

But that Qian Zong ignored the Huanggang magistrate at all, and saw that his soldiers had already captured the whole family outside the staff, so he immediately ordered: "The whole family will be executed, and the family property will be confiscated!" The soldiers of the Runing Army immediately raised their weapons in their hands.

watched the screams of the whole family from a distance, and heard the Huanggang magistrate shouting to stop: "Do you know whose family Li Yuanwai is?" He is the nephew of Qi Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, you are so bold, this county wants to impeach you! Qiu Hachi biedong hand! Alas! ”

Li Sanhe and Tang Liu were laughing and chatting while watching the excitement.

Li Sanhe asked: "Why is the sixth brother not interested in showing up in the past, Zhun Bao made Nazhi County startled!" ”

Tang Liu didn't answer Li Sanhe's question, he asked rhetorically, "Then why doesn't the third brother go to preside?" How majestic that is! ”

Li Sanhe said with a smile: "This kind of small scene is boring, let the children play!" ”

The two of them immediately daxiao. (To be continued......)
