On the morning of the second day, the gates of the camp were opened, and the banners were hunting, dancing in the wind, and the soldiers were lined up on both sides, standing solemnly and straight, or holding spears, which were erected on one side; Or holding the hilt of the knife, standing across the knife, looking directly at it, with a resolute look on his face.

At this time, at the gate of the camp, Li Zicheng stood there with the four centurions and the deputy general, his face was calm, looking into the distance, waiting for the kingdom's honor guard to come, showing extreme patience and respect, as usual, so that the head of the kingdom did not have any suspicion, let alone find the abnormality of the northern camp.

The guard of honor got closer and closer, and soon came to everyone, as soon as the kingdom walked out of the sedan chair, Li Zicheng greeted him, and said as he walked: "General, you are finally here, and your subordinates have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time." ”

To everyone's surprise, the kingdom at this moment was exceptionally kind and approachable, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Li Zicheng, I see that what you are looking forward to is not General Ben, but the batch of food and salary I brought~!" ”

Li Zicheng was obviously stunned, then reacted, and said loudly: "General, you really tortured me." Although Beidaying is actively short of food and salaries to supplement living materials, it is not as important as your old people. ”

"Okay, okay, Li Zicheng is welcome. This time, General Ben not only gave you food and salary, but also assigned you anything. ”

Li Guo, who was on the side, couldn't help but be speechless, pouting secretly, and muttered in his heart: ", I'm embarrassed to take out such a little food, D, are you really fooling us, so foolish?" ”

When Li Guo and everyone were slandering, the kingdom had already come to the front, patted Li Zicheng on the shoulder cordially, and said with a slight joke: "Li Zicheng, you also know that I am also a general, with limited resources in my hands and little money. Moreover, when there was a great drought in Shaanxi and Gansu, the imperial court wanted to encircle and suppress those anti-thieves and the northern resistance to Houjin, and the treasury was already unable to make ends meet and was empty. So, don't dislike today's low salary, but you can't blame me as a general. ”

The general laughed, how dare his subordinates? Compared with other troops, it is already good to be able to get food and salary supplements, so dare you complain? Li Zicheng smiled, and after finishing speaking, he gave Tian Jianxiu a look, and the latter immediately understood, and took a few soldiers to accept the food and salary brought by the kingdom.

At the same time, Li Zicheng was smiling in his heart: "Damn, you can pick it, even if you pick it, all the good things at home are mine." Wait and see, it won't make you laugh for a while, you girl~! ”

Li Zicheng was in front, responsible for leading the way, talking and laughing, a face smiling like a chrysanthemum, brilliant, seeing the kingdom was extremely comfortable, completely relieved, without a little doubt, but very secretly proud: "Hehe... This Li Zicheng is really a big boss, give a little sweetness, and laugh like this. Leading soldiers may be a good hand, play with me, and you can't kill you. ”

When the kingdom thought like this, he did not realize that his feet were stepping into the abyss of no return, and he was moving towards death.

At the same time, thinking that he had stabilized Li Zicheng, the kingdom was in a very good mood, and said politely as he walked: "Li Zicheng, discuss a matter with you, the city defense of Yuzhong City may have some changes this time, I hope you don't have to be too careful, and don't resist." ”

"General, look at what you said, don't you see the outside? Not to mention your promotion, you are still my boss, no matter what kind of change of city defense task, your subordinates will never have an opinion, how can you talk about a lot of hearts? Looking at the camp tent that was getting closer and closer, Li Zicheng smiled and responded, and made a hidden movement with his right hand that was not easy to detect.

"Hehe, that's good. Let me tell you, self-contained, due to some inconvenient reasons, this city defense task was jointly completed by your Northern and Southern Battalions. Moreover, your task is much easier, just send a hundred or so people to guard the south gate, and leave the rest to the southern battalion. ”

Seeing a hint of unnaturalness flashing between Li Zicheng's expressions, Wang Guo hurriedly added: "Zicheng, you also know that compared to your Northern Battalion, the Southern Battalion is far inferior in terms of military discipline and the military quality of the soldiers, especially in terms of physique. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, General Ben should take care of the military discipline of the Nanda Battalion and let them bask in the sun. ”

"Damn, TMD, are you mentally retarded when you think of Lao Tzu?! Such a simple and lame reason can also be said, Lao Tzu can say one casually, and it is better than yours! Li Zicheng secretly sneered, and after this thought flashed in his heart, he had to deal with it with words on his face, so as to deceive the kingdom into the tent.

"Hehe... Thank you so much, General. In this way, in this hot summer, we will have one less sin. Moreover, I would like to thank the general for his praise, how can Beidaying be as good as you say. ”

Between you and me, on the surface, the atmosphere of getting along is not bad, the conversation is very pleasant, for Li Zicheng's humility and respect, the kingdom is very satisfied, even more assured, raised his legs and walked into the camp.

At this moment, Li Zicheng deliberately took a step behind, quickly looked not far to the side, made a look, then returned to normal, followed closely, and said with a sneer: "General, if it weren't for your wisdom like a torch, giving support and reuse, and your subordinates would still be a small centurion in Ganzhou, your kindness to me can be described as a reinvention of kindness, and your subordinates will never forget, remember the three lives." ”

Saying these words, Li Zicheng's expression was as usual, without any change, but Yuan Zongdi and Wu Ruyi, who followed closely behind, were very sweaty in their hearts, and they only felt that their flesh was extremely numb, and they were full of excitement, and they seemed to have thought of the arrangements in advance, and they didn't dare to show it too obviously, so as not to show their feet.

The curtain fell, and everyone except for the two members of the kingdom's entourage was blocked out of the tent, and danger crept in, but the kingdom still did not notice it in the slightest.

At the same time, Liu Fangliang didn't know where to come from, with a team of soldiers, came straight to the camp tent of the Chinese army, and walked with a tiger and a tiger, and the momentum was compelling, and the entourage of the kingdom who stayed outside was suddenly nervous, and a trace of fear flew between his eyebrows.

In the end, Liu Fangliang stopped in front of the battalion commander, and was blocked by two personal guards of the kingdom, one of them just wanted to ask, but saw Liu Fangliang wave his big hand, suddenly stepped forward, and the other hand had already pulled out the big knife on his waist, put it on the neck of the man, and said in a cold voice in a low voice: "Give me a little older, and I am not allowed to speak." Otherwise, Lao Tzu will slaughter you and cut off your skull~! ”

When Liu Fangliang acted, the group of men and horses also moved, and they took out their daggers one after another, and went straight to the throats of the other entourages of the kingdom, and the movements were neat and uniform, as if they were one, and in the blink of an eye, they controlled everyone.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Fangliang took the big knife and took the man out, away from the camp, and roared in his mouth: "Be honest with me, if you behave obediently, you can still save a dog's life." Otherwise, the consequences can be imagined. ”

In just a few minutes, all the entourage of the kingdom was controlled, and it can be described as a bloodless and silent action. The kingdom could never have imagined that his move to stabilize Li Zicheng today would be a sheep's mouth. He thought he was clever and clever, but he didn't know that as soon as he walked into the camp with his front foot, his own guard force was controlled by his hind foot.

In the tent, Li Zicheng's expression was calm, and he no longer flattered him, standing there quietly, looking at the kingdom with a smile. When the other party wanted to say something, he interrupted impatiently: "Okay, General Wang, everyone is a smart person, there is no need to act anymore." ”

In an instant, Wang Guo's smile froze, and the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back, and a bad feeling emerged in his heart, and he said dryly: "Zicheng, what do you mean by this?" What acting, why can't I understand? Is there something wrong with you? ”

Li Zicheng was like a wolf in sheep's clothing, revealing his true face, there was no friendliness on his face, he sneered twice, and there was no respect and respect between his words: "General Wang, the Ming people don't say secret words, for nearly a month and a half, you and the Gao family father and son secretly cooperated, one pressed our Beidaying's grain and salary, and the other privately instructed the landlords and merchants in Yuzhong County to double the grain sold to our Beidaying. All of this, are you fooled when we are? Don't know? ”

"Hmph~ Look at how lame your reason for changing the guard is, there are loopholes everywhere. What is it for our good to strengthen the training of the Nanda Battalion and rectify military discipline? Okay, then let me ask you, since it's a change of guard, why don't you let us guard the north city gate in the North Camp? ”

For a while, the kingdom was speechless, and he didn't know how to argue, but Li Zicheng continued: "As long as anyone with a little brain can see that this change in the city defense mission is aimed at our Beida Battalion, and we want to have a beheading operation. The eastern, northern, and western gates are guarded by the southern battalion, and even if there is any fighting and fighting in the city, our northern battalion will not get any news. ”

"Also, if you want to stabilize me Li Zicheng and stabilize Beidaying, can't you be generous and take out a little more things? If you come up with half a month's salary, or more, it will be convincing, and it will show that you have changed your mind and no longer target the Beida Battalion, which is obviously a delaying tactic. ”

The kingdom was dumbfounded, but it did not sink completely, and at this moment, he glanced at the two henchmen and shouted: "Come on, someone wants to assassinate General Ben, come in and arrest the assassin!" ”

Li Zicheng's face was full of smiles, and he didn't move like a mountain, and the two people in the kingdom instantly drew their sabers and slashed at him, and their attacks were extremely vicious, and they had the potential to be slashed to death.

Yuan Zongdi and Wu Ruyi moved at the same time, rushing out from Li Zicheng's left and right sides respectively, facing the two people, the knife in his hand was as fast as lightning, and the two henchmen of the kingdom slashed together, the move was extremely fierce, and the opponent retreated again and again, and he couldn't parry for a while.

At this moment, the kingdom's heart was hanging, and he did not have much hope for the sudden attack of the two subordinates, whether he could make any achievements, but waited for the entourage outside the camp tent to break in, and with the short-term absolute superiority in numbers, he controlled Li Zicheng in one fell swoop, thus reversing the unfavorable situation.
