Guyuan Castle, the Trilateral Governor's Palace.

At this moment, in the hall of the Governor's Palace, there was a turbulent crowd, and Yang He stood above, with an eager look on his face, almost roaring angrily: "Hateful, hateful, these thieves are really against the sky." In the past, Li Zicheng caused trouble in Lintao Mansion and robbed Suwang's Mansion. This is good, now other rebels are also making a fuss, not only Wang Jiayin captured Qingshui Camp, killed the guerrilla general Li Xianzong, but also captured Fugu County. Li Laochai was also ready to move and surrounded Heshui. ”

At this time, a general came out of the column and said with a solemn expression: "My lord, just now there is news from Hancheng that Wang Zuogui, Miao Mei and other anti-thieves are active near Hancheng, and they are extremely active. It seems that these thieves want to attack Hancheng. ”

The already tense atmosphere became extremely depressing, and the silence seemed to be audible as if the sound of a needle falling on the body.

Yang He looked at everyone one by one, his expression was solemn, and he said word by word: "The situation in the Northeast is tight, and the imperial court has no generals to send to us now." I just want to ask, this official already has a candidate in Ningxia, who is willing to take the order to Yan'an Mansion to relieve the siege of Hancheng? ”

However, no one answered, and the others pushed their heads lower.

Seeing this situation, a trace of anger flashed between Yang He's eyebrows, but he still held back and did not attack, and after calming the anger in his chest slightly, he threw out a promise: "No matter who solves Han Cheng's urgent need and defeats the anti-thief army, this official will definitely recommend that person to the imperial court and entrust him with a heavy responsibility!" ”

Yang He's heart was already very anxious, his subordinates had no generals to send, and when Houjin invaded Shanhaiguan again, there was an emergency outside the pass, and all the generals that the imperial court was going to send were transferred to the northeast. At this time, he can only rely on himself to quell the rebellion against the rebels in various parts of Shaanxi, hoping that there are generals under him who can be used.

I don't know why, Yang He secretly slandered, all the thieves in Shaanxi were like smelling the breath, knowing the chaos outside the Guan, they all became restless, and attacked the state capitals and counties everywhere without scruples, which made Yang He have a headache and was anxious. I had to make this decision to find suitable personnel from these officials under my command to relieve the siege of Hancheng.

At this time, one person came out of the many officials, polite and polite, and burly, quite like a Confucian general, and responded loudly: "Lord Qiyu, the lower officials are willing to go to Yan'an Mansion and lead the troops to relieve the siege of Hancheng." ”

Yang He's eyes lit up suddenly, with a slight smile on his face, and he couldn't help but admire: "Okay, Hong participates in politics, in danger, you are the only one who solves the worries of this official!" After a pause, his expression narrowed, and he asked solemnly: "Hong Chengchou, this official asks you, how sure are you that you will defeat Han Cheng's anti-thief army?" ”

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou's emaciated face was not shocked, he stood more and more straight, and said confidently: "My lord, as long as you give Xiaguan 3,000 elite cavalry, Xiaguan will be ten percent sure that he will put down the rebellion against the rebels near Hancheng. ”

The words were loud and sonorous, and Yang He's heart moved when he heard it, and he nodded again and again. Let's not talk about how much water is in this small political discourse, this determination and self-confidence alone made him refreshed and appreciated it more and more. Moreover, three thousand cavalry is not much, but he Yang He can still take it.

As soon as he thought of this, Yang He also happily agreed: "Okay, this official will give three thousand elite armored cavalry!" As long as you repel the anti-thieves and rebels in Hancheng, this official will ask the court for credit for you. Once there is a shortage in Shaanxi, I will recommend you with all my strength! ”

"Yes, my lord, the lower officials will definitely live up to your high hopes!"

......

In the afternoon, in the northeast of Haoyang County, Yan'an Prefecture, in the wilderness of dozens of miles away from Hancheng, the camp was eye-catching, and all kinds of soldiers in various styles of clothing shuttled among them.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, a hearty voice was echoing, looking very excited.

"Hahaha... Brother Li, you have come at a good time! Why be so polite, and what gifts to bring? ”

At this moment, Li Zicheng and his subordinates were sitting on one side, Miao Mei was sitting on the other side, and Wang Zuogui was sitting on the upper seat, and the leaders of the two rebel armies were very polite to Li Zicheng, with an excellent attitude, which made people feel flattered.

Listening to Wang Zuogui's kind words and welcoming himself so much, Li Zicheng was at a loss for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Uh... What do you mean, Chief, that you have confused me, and that you have come at the right time? ”

Wang Zuogui didn't answer immediately, but looked at the person sitting on the right with a smile: "Leader Miao, Leader Li asked like this, let's talk about it." ”

"Leader Li, that's right. I joined forces with the army led by the king to prepare to attack Hancheng, and the troops were still a little lacking. Miao Mei explained seriously.

Li Zicheng immediately suddenly, also smiled heartily, and agreed directly: "Hehehe, since the two leaders intend to attack Hancheng, of course it is incumbent on me to help!" ”

Hearing this, seeing Li Zicheng agreeing so happily, Wang Zuogui couldn't help but caress his palms, a little surprised, and said excitedly: "Okay, good, Leader Li is worthy of being a refreshing person, and he acts with arrogance and neatness!" In this way, Brother Li has traveled thousands of miles to vote, and his brothers must have worked very hard. Leader Miao's plan and I to attack Hancheng were postponed for two days, and after Leader Li and his men rested, our three-way army would besiege Hancheng again. ”

"Okay, that's it. Two days later, I attacked Hancheng with the two leaders! Li Zicheng behaved more cheerfully, his tone paused, and then said: "However, Leader Wang, Leader Miao, we have to talk about it, and some things must be talked about in advance, and they must be declared in advance." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zuogui and Miao Mei's hearts suddenly burst, thinking that Li Zicheng wanted the lion to open his mouth and want to share more benefits. However, Li Zicheng's next words made the atmosphere change, and the tense atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

"The battle of Hancheng, even if it is the name of my Li Jiajun, when the city is broken, I Li Zicheng don't want all the things inside, I don't want it, even if I make a friend with the two leaders, how about it?"

Everyone was surprised, they didn't expect Li Zicheng to say this, Wang Zuogui and Miao Mei glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and said in unison: "Okay, since Leader Li said this, we can't make it difficult for us to make Brother Li a friend." ”

Li Zicheng's subordinates frequently looked at each other, hoping to stop the boss and change his mind. However, when he heard the boss say this, he had no choice but to secretly probe his tone. Liu Fangliang saw Wang Zuogui and Miao Mei's faces flushed, and they looked like they had picked up a big bargain, and they didn't think much of it, and they slandered for a while.

"MD, what's the point of being proud? What is there to be happy about? Isn't it just to get the silver grain from the official treasury in Hancheng, and as for the excitement, it's like a fart? ”

"Boss, what's wrong? How can you spit out the fat that reaches your mouth, and say don't want it? Sending troops and contributing, there will definitely be a lot of brothers who will sacrifice at that time, and there will be no progress, isn't this purely acting as a wronged leader? As for showing favor like this? ”

Except for Tian Jianxiu and Li Changmao, who looked calm and very indifferent, knowing that Li Zicheng must have his own plan, everyone else was puzzled and had the same idea as Liu Fangliang.

Liu Fangliang and the others were not allowed to think too much, but Wang Zuogui raised his wine glass and said heartily: "Leader Miao, come, let's raise a glass together and celebrate the joining of Leader Li!" ”

Seeing Miao Mei raise her wine glass and have the same face as herself, she was very happy, she actually got such an unexpected joy, Wang Zuogui looked at Li Zicheng again, and said loudly: "Leader Li, Leader Miao and I will hold a banquet tonight, wash the dust for our brothers, and reward Leader Li's subordinates." Otherwise, it will seem that our host is out of manners, otherwise we can't say it! ”

"Yes, yes, the king leader said yes, it should be so!" Miao Mei immediately chimed in.

"Okay, since the two leaders said so, then I, Li Zicheng, am disrespectful!"

......

The three rebels talked happily with each other, but each had their own thoughts, Li Zicheng was overjoyed, but he didn't expect to blend into Wang Zuogui's team so smoothly.

Before he saw Wang Zuogui, he heard a report from his subordinates that Wang Zuogui and Miao Mei were preparing to attack Hancheng. Li Zicheng knew that when the opportunity came, the pursuers behind could be transferred to these two people, and he and his Li family army could get out at the cost of the least casualties.

Moreover, in the novel he once read, Li Zicheng vaguely remembered that although Wang Zuogui and Miao Mei captured Hancheng, they didn't cover the heat yet, and not long after entering the city, Hong Chengchou came to kill, which can be described as stealing chickens and rice.

Therefore, Li Zicheng had another idea in his heart, wanting to come out of the shell of a golden cicada and completely get rid of the pursuers behind. Therefore, this is also the reason why he turned a blind eye to Liu Fangliang's gaze, and did not take the slightest bit of things in Hancheng.

However, seeing Liu Fangliang's angry appearance, Li Zicheng still handed over a look, and everyone immediately understood, understanding that this was the meaning of the boss to let him and others calm and wait, and after the fact, he would give an explanation.

Seeing this situation, Li Changmao and Tian Jianxiu were even more convinced of their confident guesses, glanced at each other imperceptibly, and nodded lightly.

This happens in the blink of an eye, but only a few seconds. At the same time, Li Zicheng smiled and talked with Wang Zuogui and Miao Meipan again, inquiring about the news of other rebel armies, especially about Gao Yingxiang's whereabouts.
