The next day, in Fangxian County, many leaders of the rebel army gathered in the hall of the county office, everyone was staring at Gao Yingen, looking worried, Zhang Xianzhong said with some impatience: "Leader Gao, this is impossible!" Did you collude with that kid Li Guo and discuss it, fool us people, and drag everyone here? ”

"In this way, everyone's situation is becoming more and more difficult, forcing us to accept Li Jiajun's adaptation, and obey his Li Zicheng's orders, such a beautiful thing, don't say that he is Li Guo, even if Li Zicheng came in person, there is no need to discuss!"

After saying these words, Zhang Xianzhong was puffed up, his tiger eyes were round, his thick eyebrows were upside down, and he stared at Gao Yingen unkindly, the latter didn't seem to see Zhang Xianzhong's angry appearance, and directly ignored the other party's unkind gaze, and floated back lightly: "I'm just a messenger, as for whether Leader Zhang is willing or not, then I don't care." ”

"You... You..."

Feeling Gao Yingen's arrogant taste, he didn't take himself in his eyes at all, Zhang Xianzhong was angry, and as soon as he spit out a word, he was interrupted by the leader of a rebel army.

"Eight kings, don't be angry, now is not the time for internal strife, there is Zuo Liangyu outside, wanting to encircle and suppress us, there is a shortage of food and grass inside, and it won't last for two days, everyone still sits down calmly and discusses what to do in the future, so it's more practical, what's the use of bickering?"

Luo Rucai, who was sitting side by side with Zhang Xianzhong, looked indifferently, calmly looked at the leader who spoke, then looked at Zhang Xianzhong, and turned to look around at everyone, and he already knew in his heart that although the leaders in the hall did not say anything, whether they accepted the integration of the Dashun Army, but the ambiguous attitude showed everything.

At this moment, Luo Rucai already had a positive judgment in his heart, more than half of these rebel army leaders in the hall were willing to accept Li Guo's incorporation.

Seeing Zhang Xianzhong's anger, he was about to go crazy, Luo Rucai hurriedly persuaded: "Eight kings, why are you so angry? Before the high leader asked the Dashun army for help, everyone had made a clear statement, no matter whether the high leader could succeed or not, everyone was not allowed to say anything. ”

"But... But..."

Zhang Xianzhong was speechless when he was refuted, but for a long time, he didn't say a complete sentence.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son Li Dingguo stood up and said: "Father-in-law, for the sake of today's plan, the first priority, the army can no longer stay in Fang County, whether it is Zuo Liangyu's eyesight, or the problem of grain and grass faced, the coalition forces must take action, avoid a frontal conflict with Zuo Liangyu, and at the same time, they must also wait for the opportunity to find grain and grass." ”

Speaking of this, Li Dingguo's words paused, his face was embarrassed, he looked hesitant, looked at Zhang Xianzhong, and then looked at everyone, and finally said abruptly: "Father-in-law, leaders, I don't know whether to say a word in Dingguo?" ”

As soon as he heard Yizi's words, and then looked at Li Dingguo's expression, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly chuckled, as if he realized something, knew what he wanted to say, and just wanted to stop it and let him push it down, but he didn't expect to be given a head start by Luo Rucai, and his words were full of appreciation.

"Oh~ what's that?"

Luo Rucai asked rhetorically, with a warm smile on his face, and without waiting for Li Dingguo to answer, he added: "Anyway, everyone doesn't have an idea now, it's better to listen to your opinion, maybe it's also a good way out, just say it~ But it's okay to say it~!" ”

Obviously, even with Luo Rucai's appearance, Li Dingguo still had some hesitation, especially when he saw the dissatisfaction on his father-in-law Zhang Xianzhong's face, his heart became more and more worried, but he still gritted his teeth, and his hearty voice echoed in the hall.

"Father-in-law, leaders, as everyone knows, the north has all fallen into the hands of King Chuang. Now, the army of Chen soldiers in Shandong and Henan of the Dashun Dynasty has nearly one million people, and the situation has been very obvious, King Chuang is not satisfied with the territory of the north, and wants to annex the entire south. ”

"Moreover, in this short period of more than half a year, the Li family army occupied the north in one fell swoop with a thunderous momentum, killing 100,000 Qing troops, especially after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has gained a firm foothold in the five northern provinces, and is extremely loved and supported by the people.

Gradually, the hall fell silent, all those whispering voices disappeared, and all eyes were focused on Li Dingguo's body.

seems to have found a feeling, Li Dingguo's apprehension has completely disappeared and no longer exists, the more he talks, the more confident he becomes, and he is no longer afraid of Zhang Xianzhong's uncertain eyes.

"Leaders, there is the most critical point, I don't need to say more, everyone also knows that no matter which rebel army it is, it is either from Shaanxi, Henan, or Shanxi, and there are very few in other places."

"Since these days, all kinds of news about the three places, like snowflakes in the sky, spread all over the army, those soldiers more or less, have heard of the various policies of the Dashun Dynasty to benefit the people, you can share the good land, and there is the court to subsidize food, the people's hearts have long been fluctuating, I am afraid that they are not willing to fight again."

At this moment, in the hall, Gao Yingen was the happiest, and his heart had already blossomed, but he still had a stiff face, and pretended to be sad and agreed: "Yes, what Dingguo said is right, I don't know what the situation is like for the leaders, but my own people know their own affairs, and my army has long been disheartened, and many soldiers have fled at night and returned to their hometown to farm." ”

For a while, the atmosphere became a little strange, sighs continued, and some of the leaders of the rebel army also spoke about their situation.

"Hey... Who's to say it isn't? Li Zicheng is also too good at demagoguery, my subordinates saw the letter sent by the family, and knew that the family had a share of the fertile land, and that night, hundreds of people left. ”

"It's the same on my side, people slip away every day, and so far, the attrition is almost halfway through."

"I don't know what's going on? The policies of the Great Shun Dynasty were like wings, and they inexplicably appeared in the battalion and were hotly discussed among the soldiers. Now they are like grass growing in their hearts, itchy, they can't sit still, if it weren't for my hearts and abdomen, they will be watching firmly, patrolling day and night, they would have to run out! ”

Hearing everyone's complaints, complaining constantly, and saying something that was directly deflated, the corners of Gao Yingen's mouth trembled imperceptibly, and then rose slightly, outlining an imperceptible smile, and there was a smug aura between his eyebrows.

"In my opinion, everyone should not discuss anything anymore, and simply accept the integration of the Dashun Army directly. While we still have some people in our hands and bargaining chips, if everyone runs out, the Dashun Army may not be willing to be absorbed! ”

A leader shouted out this sentence abruptly, which immediately broke the decadent atmosphere in the hall, Gao Yingen's heart was overjoyed, it was completely an instinctive reaction, and blurted out loudly: "Yes, while everyone still has bargaining chips, let's just act together and agree to the integration of the Dashun Army." In this way, you can also win a good place and strive for more benefits, why not? ”
