"King Chuang! What a missed opportunity this time! If our main force doesn't run and follows the ancestors to press over, that Cao butcher will probably not retreat with his whole body, and the main force of the official army may also be defeated by us, maybe we will all have a chance to defeat Luoyang City! Luo Rucai said with his eyebrows fluttering, "Tut! There is a prince of the dog court in this Luoyang City! I heard that he is also the uncle of the Dog Emperor, so the gold and silver treasures in the palace must be piled up! ”

Gao Yingxiang felt a little funny when he looked at Luo Rucai's appearance, and he teased: "You say it yourself!" How many times have you said this along the way. I can hear the calluses in my ears! However, I don't think Brother Luo is interested in gold and silver treasures, but the concubines and princesses in the palace! ”

Luo Rucai was in a good mood, so he was not moved at all by Gao Yingxiang's jokes, he smiled happily: "Yes!" Both! ”

"Ahh Gao Yingxiang let out a long sigh and persuaded, "We heroes and heroes can't indulge in women's bellies, you see that the women in your camp are all fifty or sixty!" It's time to take care of yourself! ”

Luo Rucai replied nonchalantly: "King Chuang! Brother, I'm just good for this! My ancestors have been poor for eight lifetimes, and now it's time to live a comfortable life. ”

Seeing Luo Rucai's attitude, Gao Yingxiang couldn't persuade him anymore, so he diverted the topic: "Anyway, the eight kings are about to arrive, so when the time comes, your brothers can have a good chat!" ”

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong, who had just walked to the door of the big tent, shouted: "What are you talking about? I seem to hear about the prince and the princess! ”

"You've got pretty good ears!" Luo Rucai immediately smiled and said to Zhang Xianzhong, "Just now I talked to King Chuang about the princess of the palace in Luoyang City. ”

"That's not called a princess, it's called a county lord! You Cao Cao just don't learn and don't know how to do it! Zhang Xianzhong scolded with a smile.

"It doesn't matter what kind of master she is, as long as it's a woman." Luo Rucai's words caused the three of them to daxiao.

After Gao Yingxiang and Luo Rucai's troops went south, they met with Zhang Xianzhong's troops again near Ruzhou, and today they happened to meet with other leaders to discuss their next move.

And after the second entry into Henan. The core of these leaders has no losses, and the personnel and materials have been greatly expanded, so as soon as they meet, these leaders begin to show off what they have gained. But as they talked, they talked about the Ming army that made them all suffer.

……

"Cao Cao, you guessed wrong this time. This official army was called the Runing Army, which was a coalition of Runing, Nanyang and Guide. Zhang Xianzhong introduced, "Although this official army is very good at fighting, its general is a hairy guy in his early twenties, and that person is very greedy for money." He is also very good at preserving his strength. But as long as we don't get close to his territory, he usually won't come out to fight. ”

"Oh? I didn't expect that there would be such a general in the mainland, and he could train such a strong army! Luo Rucai was surprised. The other leaders present also shared the same idea with Luo Rucai. It is not uncommon for military attachés in the Ming Dynasty to be greedy for money and preserve their strength, but it is rare that there are military attaches who will go to Haode to train soldiers.

In fact, Zhang Xianzhong at this time also understood that Wu Shigong used a delaying tactic against him at that time. It was to get out of Ruzhou and return to Defu. But Zhang Xianzhong sent tens of thousands of taels to support Wu Shigong's plan to delay the army. This made Zhang Xianzhong's mouth full of bitterness, and this kind of humiliating thing could not be said clearly. It's so full of bitter water that I can't pour out!

But after all, the peasant rebels have been rebelling for so long. The elite of the Ming army they encountered was not one or two, so after learning about the situation of the Runing army, they then began to discuss their own actions.

At this time, Luo Rucai first proposed to return to Shaanxi. Luo Rucai is a person with a strong sense of hometown, in his opinion, when he is strong and strong, he can't be majestic in front of the villagers, it is really a brocade night walk!

There was no leader who objected to Luo Rucai's idea. Li Zicheng and Lao Hui, who stayed in Shaanxi, were a little weak. With the addition of Luo Rucai's troops, it is completely possible to twist the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu and entangle Hong Chengchou's army in Henan.

Then a leader proposed to cross the Yellow River north to Shanxi. But the proposal was immediately rejected. In a few months, the Yellow River will thaw. When the time comes, the Ming army will be surrounded and suppressed on all sides, and the peasant rebels will have very little room for maneuver. Besides, the leaders of the peasant rebel army still remember the siege of Michidu more than a year ago.

Then there is only one direction. It is to enter the Xiangfan area of Huguang through Nanyang Prefecture. But at this time, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly proposed a bold jihua, that is, to cross Runing Mansion and capture Fengyang.

Zhang Xianzhong said: "No matter what road our righteous army takes, it is the old road we have repeatedly taken, and we will not gain much along the way. And Fengyang is the hometown of the Dog Emperor, where the gold and silver treasures are countless, and the grain and grass are piled up. Besides, we have a lot of personnel, so it is better to divide our troops into several ways to cooperate with each other and contain the officers and soldiers separately. ”

"What we are worried about is nothing more than the Runing army, but it is now fighting against the two brothers Guotianxing and Hengtianwang on the border of Guide and Huaiqing, and they can't return to Runing Mansion for a while. There is also certainly an emptiness of defenses there. ”

"As long as we don't get entangled in the cities along the way, and speed up our pace with a large number of people, we can quickly pass through Nanyang Province and Runing Province. Avoid the return reinforcements of the Runing army. ”

"Think about it again, if we defeat Fengyang, the morale of our rebel army will be greatly improved! It will also be much easier to recruit people in the future. And the dog court would never have thought that we would fight Fengyang, although this road seems a little dangerous, but it is completely beyond the expectations of those dog officials, but it is very safe! ”

Zhang Xianzhong's jihua immediately caused a heated debate among the chiefs, but most of the leaders still opposed this jihua because they really didn't want to fight the Runing army anymore.

However, after the meeting, the sweeping king, the Taiping king and other very knowledgeable leaders found Zhang Xianzhong, and they were willing to act with Zhang Xianzhong's troops to conquer Fengyang, the central capital of the Ming Dynasty.

So on the ninth day of the first lunar month, the main force of the peasant rebel army entered Nanyang Province. Although they did not attack Nanyang Fucheng, Zhang Xianzhong's troops deliberately entered a place about twenty miles away from Ye County to test the reaction of the Runing army.

Shumo and Zuge, who were stationed in the Yexian area, immediately defended the whole army, and sent fast horses to report to the headquarters of the Runing Army. Zhang Xianzhong saw that the whole army of Runing Army was retreating, so he sent a large number of scouts into Runing Mansion to investigate, and determined that Runing Mansion was empty.

On the 10th, a total of 150,000 people from Zhang Xianzhong, the King of Sweeping Land, and the Taiping King broke away from the main force of the peasant rebel army, bypassed Yexian, and quickly came towards Runan. (To be continued......)
