In the sixth year of Chongzhen, on this day in February, with Jiangzhou as the center, all kinds of rebel armies gathered in this area and occupied various nearby counties. For a time, the momentum of the rebel army soared again, and it was the same for a while.

Since the governor of Xuanda, Zhang Zongheng, the governor Xu Dingchen and Cao Wenchao formed a three-sided attack in December last year, constantly encircling and weakening the rebel army from all walks of life.

In Jiangzhou City, in a certain house of the county government, Wang Ziyong, Li Zicheng and Xing Hongwolf sat there, and a large number of soldiers stood outside, responsible for guarding and not allowing anyone to approach.

However, as soon as the three of them sat down, they did not say anything, and the room was silent. Wang Ziyong and Xing Hongwolf glanced at each other from time to time, showing hesitation, as if they had some scruples, and it was difficult to speak, but Li Zicheng blinked, very curious in his heart, and finally broke this strange tranquility.

"The leader of the Wang Alliance, the leader of the Xing Red Wolf, I don't know what the two of you are looking for? At this time, the other leaders are waiting in the hall to discuss their future actions. It's not good if you keep them waiting too long. ”

Wang Ziyong and Xing Hongwolf glanced at each other again, the difficulty on their faces became more and more intense, and the two of them at this moment became more and more hesitant in their hearts, and at the same time they couldn't forget the events of more than ten days, and the two were finally persuaded by Li Zicheng to make a detour to Pingyang Mansion and come to the area of Jiangzhou. Along the way, there were few strong obstacles.

Just two days ago, Wang Ziyong and Xing Hongwolf got the news respectively, the stubborn Xing Hongwolf did not return to Shaanxi, when he encountered Cao Bianjiao's strong resistance, he could only retreat to Taiyuan Mansion, and unfortunately encountered Cao Wenchao again, and fell in Bixia Village, which was embarrassing at the same time, but also secretly glad that he had followed Li Zicheng's advice.

Otherwise, everyone will not escape the same fate as the king of the mixed world.

As soon as they thought of this and thought of these things, when the two of them were grateful, Wang Ziyong sighed, showed a decisive look on his face, and said: "General Li Chuang, the two of us invited you here to be alone in a room, that is, there is something important to discuss, and there is something to ask for, and I hope you can agree." ”

"Oh... Wang Alliance Leader, what is it that makes the two of them treat them like this, and they will be brought here at the same time, and they will not hesitate to snub the other leaders? Li Zicheng asked lightly, his expression remained unchanged, and then his eyebrows trembled slightly, and then he said: "Wang Alliance Master, you better tell me what is the matter first, so I can answer your question, you can't just agree in a daze before you have figured out something, right?" ”

Obviously, as if thinking of something, Wang Ziyong hesitated again, and asked ambiguously: "General Li Chuang, as far as the leader of this alliance knows, every time General Li Chuang captures a city, unlike other leaders, he only opens warehouses and releases grain to the officials, kills corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and also confiscates the property of the magnates in the city, and distributes their fertile land to the people. ”

The words stopped abruptly, and Wang Ziyong looked at Li Zicheng meaningfully, and between his eyebrows and eyes, it was difficult to hide the unspeakable color, and the latter only nodded slightly in response.

"General Li Chuang, the meaning of me and the leader of the Wang League is very simple, that is, I hope that you will not carry out the later measures in the Jiangzhou area, and you can let those powerful people go." Xing Hongwolf interjected at the right time, his face was very sincere, and there was a vague hint of obscurity, as if he was unwilling to say anything.

Li Zicheng did not immediately give an affirmative reply, but looked at Wang Ziyong, and the other party also had the same expression, with a hint of pleading in gratitude.

At this moment, Li Zicheng had a hint of enlightenment in his heart, and probably guessed the intentions of the two, who pleaded, but still asked knowingly: "Wang Mengmaster, leader Xing, can you tell me the reason?" ”

Seeing that the two were still hesitant and unwilling to answer, Li Zicheng immediately said further: "Two leaders, you also know that every time a city is captured, the Li family army will eliminate the bullies and corrupt officials in the city, and the family property of those powerful people will be confiscated, and part of the grain and fertile land will be distributed to the people. ”

Speaking of which, although Wang Ziyong and Xing Hongwolf had the intention to continue to conceal it, they also had to find out.

However, the two still glanced at each other, as if they had reached some kind of consensus at this moment, and at the same time nodded, Wang Ziyong said representatively: "General Li Chuang, it is necessary to explain the reason, that is, I hope that after saying it, no matter whether it is successful or not, I hope that General Li Chuang will be able to keep it secret and not tell the fourth person the content of the conversation." ”

"Yes, I promise the Lord of the Royal Alliance."

After receiving Li Zicheng's affirmative reply, Wang Ziyong and Xing Hongwolf secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, their expressions eased a lot, and the next conversation became relaxed and pleasant.

Relatively speaking, of course, Wang Ziyong and Li Zicheng have a better relationship, and the former directly clarified the reason, but there is still some obscurity.

"General Li Chuang, the matter is actually very simple, the reason why Li Jiajun is prevented from doing this is because this matter is related to the source of food and grass for the rebel armies from all walks of life."

Li Zicheng pretended to be surprised, and secretly understood in his heart, and even more convinced of the guess, but he still listened patiently and quietly.

"Chief Li, don't be so suspicious." Seeing Li Zicheng's expression, as if he had expected it, Xing Hongwolf smiled lightly, took over the conversation, and then said further: "Leader Li, do you know that this area of Jiangzhou is the source and replenishment of the grain and grass of the rebel army from all walks of life. If it weren't for the Jedi, no matter which way the leader of the rebel army was, he wouldn't easily move the magnates in this area. ”

"Chief Xing, what do you mean ......?" Li Zicheng looked a little abrupt, as if he had guessed something.

"Hehe... Presumably Chief Li guessed it. Yes, Chief Li, as you think in your heart, the reason why our rebel armies from all walks of life are able to crisscross the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, conquer at will, and are unwilling to leave Shanxi easily, is because there are people in Jiangzhou who can provide grain and grass, and we can buy grain with the stolen silver. ”

"Could it be that the Lord of the Wang League and the leader of Xing are the two families of Han Yun and Duan Yuan in Jiangzhou?" Even though he already had the answer in his heart, Li Zicheng couldn't help but exclaim.

Wang Ziyong and Xing Hongwolf smiled at each other, nodded slightly, and although they didn't say anything, they made everything clear.

"Wang Alliance Leader, Leader Xing, I can agree to your request."

Not surprisingly, almost without any hesitation, the two of them immediately gave a positive reply. However, Wang Ziyong and Xing Hongwolf were just happy, and before they could say anything, Li Zicheng changed his words, his face showed a deep expression, and suddenly asked: "Two leaders, there is a reluctant invitation below, I don't know if Wang Mengzhu and Xing Leader can introduce me, Li also wants to know the Han Duan family." ”

Wang Ziyong and Xing Hongwolf showed an indifferent smile at the same time, the two looked at each other, and they looked clear, knowing what Li Zicheng had in mind, he just wanted to befriend the Han Duan family, so as to obtain certain benefits, and have one more channel for grain and grass to help in the future.

Almost as soon as Li Zicheng's voice fell, Wang Ziyong smiled heartily, and then opened his mouth and replied: "Haha... General Li Chuang is polite, even if General Li Chuang doesn't say it, the two of us also have this intention. After all, General Li Chuang's name is known to everyone, and the sound shocks in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and the heads of the Han Duan family also want to get acquainted with Chief Li. ”

Li Zicheng also smiled, and after responding heartily, he immediately said: "Since this is the case, presumably the leader of the Wang Alliance and the leader of Xing have nothing else to do, let's go out early, presumably the other leaders should also be in a hurry." ”
