As soon as he returned to the camp, Li Zicheng called Wu Ruyi, Tian Jianxiu and others over and gathered in the camp tent. There were not only confidants such as Tamihide, who had followed early, but also new recruits in recent months.

Like the famous Dang Shousu, Liu Tichun and others in history, they joined one after another and were responsible for leading the 4,000 newly recruited recruits.

At this moment, as soon as Li Zicheng finished talking about Gao Yingxiang's decision, he announced that Li Jiajun would also join the attack on Puxian and be responsible for the feint.

"Brother-in-law, why are you doing this? I know that no matter how much I please my uncle and his old man. Won't be waiting to see us. These days, have we cooperated with their actions less? And what did you get? In addition to losing the lives of some brothers, he gained nothing, but only intensified the suspicion of others. ”

Among the Li Jiajun, Liu Fangliang and Gao Yigong were like-minded, and they immediately stood up and began to accuse.

"Boss, what Yigong said is yes. Since we can't please and don't do any good, why should we wade into this troubled water? Moreover, with the participation of Wang Ziyong, Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong and others, we don't even want to get anything, we will only become cannon fodder. ”

Li Zicheng smiled and said nothing, but did not say anything, but asked without answering: "Brothers, with your understanding of Pu County, Wang Ziyong and others have agreed to send troops to support, do you think, how sure are they that the Lord of the Wang League will capture Pu County?" How long does it take? ”

No one expected such a question, and after a short silence, Tian Jianxiu, who had a deep face, slowly expressed his opinion.

"Hmm... Boss, according to the eyes of his subordinates, even if those reinforcements invited by the high leader arrive, they will besiege Puxian when the time comes. Whether it can be won or not is still in between. Even if it is a successful breakthrough in Puxian County, it is by no means something that can be done in three or five days. ”

Seeing that some people showed doubts, Tian Jianxiu immediately added: "Boss, brothers, you might as well think about it, don't say it's a war, even in normal times, the thirty-six battalions are intrigues and calculations against each other. At this time, Puxian City, which is facing the key guards of the official army, is by no means easy to take, and it will definitely pay a huge price. ”

"Moreover, everyone has selfish intentions. Especially the leaders, even more. Puxian City, which is facing such a tight city defense, even if it is an equal share of interests, it is difficult to ensure that they have no careful thoughts? After all, the more troops others lose, relatively speaking, it means the improvement of their own strength and status. ”

When everyone recalled Tian Jianxiu's words and was thinking deeply, Xu Xiake also echoed and said: "Not only that, once Puxian County can't be attacked for a long time, the longer the time drags on, the heavier the pressure on the high leaders. If there are officials and soldiers to help, it is really a matter of stealing chickens and rice, not only Puxian did not get it, but even the stone building was lost. ”

"At the same time, based on my understanding and judgment of Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, and Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, it is impossible for them to watch the Gao leaders capture Puxian. Otherwise, both of them will be questioned by the imperial court. Especially the latter, Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, he can be stationed in Fenzhou, which is a hundred and ten miles away from Puxian, and in a few days, he can bring reinforcements."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the camp became even heavier, and Wu Ruyi immediately persuaded: "Boss, after Mr. Xu and Captain Tian said this, after careful analysis, let's not participate in the joint attack on Puxian." Even if we don't go, Leader Gao can't say anything about us. After all, except for the first half of last year's entry into Shanxi, food was provided, and then we were not given any help. To be able to support him until now, it is already benevolent and righteous. ”

Wu Ruyi's words reminded everyone and aroused the evil fire and dissatisfaction in their hearts, and only 20-year-old Dang Shousu was the first to vent it.

"Yes, Boss, if you just use us as gunmen, forget it. However, the high leader was too unfair in doing things, and he was too indulgent to his direct subordinates. Sometimes, it is obviously our credit, but the towns we captured were taken away by them. There is too much to do about picking peaches. It's just that no one is in sight, and he doesn't take our Li Jiajun in his eyes. ”

"Boss, I can't bear it anymore, and I have to part ways with Leader Gao. Otherwise, in the future, our Li Jiajun will still be suppressed by him, and the brothers will have to be bullied. Liu Fangliang's eyes widened, and he was almost about to burst into flames.

is worthy of being called the Flying Tiger, although Liu Tichun's name is a bit girly, but the whole person has a tiger spirit, and his speech is even more domineering, without scruples.

"Boss, if you want me to say, since the high leader can do this, we have nothing to bear, just go back. As the saying goes, people respect me a foot, I respect people, high leaders they almost do things to the end, and we have nothing to be polite about. ”

For a while, the big tent was full of the smell of crowd anger, and it was almost like showing its teeth and claws.

Seeing this situation, although Li Zicheng had a heavy face, he smiled indifferently in his heart, such a situation was exactly what he wanted.

"Okay, since the brothers said so, then I, Li Zicheng, can no longer pretend to be dumb and deaf. What's more, being ridden by others to the neck to and pee, I, Li Zicheng, am by no means a person who is a wreck, and allows others to spoil our brothers. ”

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the hall was suddenly exploded, and Gao Yigong couldn't help but echo a sentence: "Brother-in-law, it's long overdue!" ”

At this moment, Xu Xiake reminded at an inopportune time: "Boss, my subordinates also agree to rebel against the high leader, and we will become an independent army." However, no matter when you commit a mess or go to the boss, you will be criticized by others and will become a stain. After all, no matter what, whether it is the imperial court or the rebel army of the 36th battalion, everyone knows that we are all high leaders and like subordinates. If we leave like this, there is no plausible reason, and it will not be conducive to our future development and our relationship with the rebel armies from all walks of life. ”

As if expected, Li Zicheng did not have any difficulty, as soon as Xu Xiake said it, he said with deep meaning: "Hehe... Mr. Xu, you won't leave so abruptly, isn't there a good opportunity now? ”

Just when everyone was upset by Xu Xiake's words, when they heard what Li Zicheng said, their hearts suddenly moved, and they said in unison: "Boss, what opportunity?" ”

Looking at everyone's eager gaze, Li Zicheng didn't pretend to be anything, and said in a hurry: "Brothers, since the high leader wants to capture Puzhou, he can't capture it for a while. When the time comes, it is necessary to think of other countermeasures. As long as we seize the opportunity, take advantage of the situation, break away from the rebel armies from all walks of life, and act alone, can't we? And the capture of Puxian County three months later was an excellent opportunity. ”
