Wu Shigong looked at Liu Guoneng and Jin Xiong who were kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. For the leaders of the peasant army, Li Zicheng must be the first in Wu Shigong's mind, and the others who can be named in the Di newspaper, Wu Shigong classified them in the second gear. And Liu Guoneng is undoubtedly one of them.

Seeing this giant of the world kneeling in front of him, whether Liu Guoneng was forced to surrender after being cornered, Wu Shigong felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart. This kneeling is such a good thing! There is a kind of pleasure of controlling the life and death of others, Wu Shigong is really a little intoxicated.

After making way for Liu Guoneng to go east, Xue Yongli sent someone to inform the Yu and Left coalition forces that the Runing army would return to encircle and suppress the escaped peasant army, and the peasant army that was crossing the river would be handed over to the Yu and Left coalition forces to solve the problem.

In this regard, Yu Zilian and Zuo Liangyu did not doubt it, and they also knew the ability of the peasant army to escape. Besides, they also had some joy in their hearts. The Runing army has won a great victory in Xiangyang and successfully recovered Xiangyang, but the Yu and Left coalition forces have not yet made an inch. Now that there's an opportunity to beat the water dogs, how could they not take it?

In order to ensure the smooth crossing of the river, the leaders of the peasant army, such as Ma Shouying, Zhang Xianzhong, and Luo Rucai, all took out their own belongings, and they gathered the strongest troops to intercept the Yu and Left coalition forces, and fully proved to the Yu and Left coalition forces the truth that the poor Kou Mo chased.

But after all, it was a battle against the water, and the interception troops in a desperate situation had no intention of fighting after the main force of the peasant army crossed the river, and hurriedly broke away from the battle and followed the main force across the river. The main forces of the peasant army smoothly got out of the predicament.

But even so, the Yu and Left coalition forces also captured nearly 30,000 old and weak peasant troops left on the east bank of the Han River, and the results were brilliant. In particular, all the heavy materials of the peasant army were discarded on the shore, and all of them were captured by the Yu and Left coalition forces, which made this coalition army rich all of a sudden.

This time the peasant army's battle of Xiangyang was really unlucky. Although they conquered a large city and obtained a considerable amount of supplies, they were all returned to the Runing Army and the Yu and Left Coalition Forces.

And Yu Zilian and Zuo Liangyu also relied on these captures and captures to rapidly expand their troops. Yu Zilian's Ruzhou army expanded to 15,000 men, and this time it was not expanded indiscriminately. They are all recruited veterans and young people, and the combat effectiveness of the Ruzhou Army has also become a strong force in the Ming Army. And Zuo Liangyu's department has also recovered to more than 10,000, and in terms of numbers, it has basically recovered its previous strength.

And Liu Guoneng's all the way to the east made Wang Jiazhen, the governor of Huguang, a frightened bird. He definitely did not expect that such a peasant army would break through the pursuit of the Runing army. It flows into the hinterland of Huguang again.

As a result, nearly half of the reinforcements led by Wang Jiazhen, the governor of Huguang, were immediately dispersed, and Wang Jiazhen had no way to fight when he saw it. Immediately with King Xiang. Leaving the troops behind, all of them got on the boats on the Han River again. As a result, the remaining half of the troops immediately dispersed.

However, after Liu Guoneng entered the territory of Huang'an County, he stopped. However, the main force of Xue Yongli's Runing Army escorted more than 40,000 prisoners to camp on the spot twenty miles behind Liu Guoneng's army, and the two sides strangely maintained a state of peace and quietness. At this time, in fact, the most brainless people can also see that there is a cat in these two armies. But no matter how rich their imagination was, they couldn't imagine that Liu Guoneng at this time had already taken the main leader of his camp to Xinyang secretly to meet Wu Shigong.

Wu Shigong snubbed Liu Guoneng for a while. First gave him some psychological pressure on him who was kneeling on the ground, and Zuihou finally spoke: "Liu Guoneng has the loyalty of the court in your chest, and this official can't let it go." So be it! There are two paths for you to choose from. ”

Liu Guoneng thought to himself: "Isn't it just a way of life and a way of death?" Why do you like to play this set? But although he slandered, Liu Guoneng didn't dare to be rude, so he could only ask according to the routine: "General Wu, please speak!" ”

"One is that our Runing Army has taken you in, and we will make proper arrangements for your subordinates. But you leaders are not in charge of the army. Take your wealth and come to our Runing to be a rich man. ”

Liu Guoneng didn't expect that the first one Wu Shigong said was like this, if the other one was a dead end, Liu Guoneng could only choose this one. But in that case, all the prospects and wealth will become flowers in the water, and at most they will eat and wait for death in the house arrest of the Runing Army. Liu Guoneng is absolutely unwilling to come this far by himself.

But now he has been completely controlled by the Runing Army, especially his mother and family have fallen into the hands of the Runing Army, which makes Liu Guoneng feel like I am a fish. So unconsciously, Liu Guoneng's nose was a little sour, and he asked hoarsely: "Dare to ask General Wu, what about the other way?" ”

"Lift your head up!" Wu Shigong finally gave grace to Liu Guoneng and Jin Xiong to stop lying on the ground, "Before I say the second article, this official has a question for you, are you surrendering to the imperial court?" Or surrender to our Runing Army? ”

Wu Shigong's question made Liu Guoneng stunned, Wu Shigong is a military attache of the imperial court, so what is the difference between surrendering to the imperial court and surrendering to Wu Shigong? But Liu Guoneng is a hero in the end, and his brain reacts quickly, so he immediately understands that Wu Shigong wants him to be loyal only to Wu Shigong.

Therefore, Liu Guoneng immediately replied: "Of course, the sinners are loyal to the lord. Only the kindness of adults saves the sinners from fire and water, and if the sinners have two hearts, the sky will thunder! Thunder and thunder! ”

"Don't swear too much!" Wu Shigong laughed, "Listen to the official first." The second way is that you still lead the Shaanxi bandits eastward into Nanzhili, and the official will also give you weapons and personnel support to restore your strength. However, you also have to listen to the officer. At the right time, the official will openly recruit you, and at that time, you will be guaranteed the position of the capital department. ”

As soon as Liu Guoneng heard Wu Shigong's opening words, he was shocked and looked up at Wu Shigong in a gaffe. With Wu Shigong's words, Liu Guoneng became more and more frightened the more he listened, and when he arrived at Zuihou, he couldn't help but tremble.

Liu Guoneng didn't dare to imagine Wu Shigong's Sima Zhao's heart, he just thought: In case he became this pawn, when it was time to recruit An, Wu Shigong would kill people in order to conceal this secret matter, it would really be a matter of rest. (To be continued......)
