Although Li Zicheng said it so carelessly, everyone could feel the pride that came from their bones, and it was better to live secretly than to die in a happy battle.

"As soon as this battle is over, after taking Luoyang City, immediately start preparing to cross the Yellow River north, once the time is ripe, all parties are in place, it is the time to engage the Qing army head-on, let those Tartars know that the Han people are by no means cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, but a dozing tiger, once provoked, it will be the price of blood!"

Li Zicheng's voice suddenly rose, and he spit out these words sonorously and powerfully, and without waiting for everyone to respond, he got up and walked straight out, resolutely but resolutely, just leaving a fluttering word.

"Early tomorrow morning, immediately pull out the camp and set off, and strive to take Luoyang City within three days."

At dawn the next day, when the sky was still bright, Li Jiajun and the rebel army from all walks of life had just rushed to the vicinity of the Qili River, and suddenly an iron horse flew and went straight to Li Zicheng and others. ”

"Huh~!"

Li Zicheng tugged on the reins, stabilized the war horse under his crotch, frowned slightly, and asked, "Who is here?" ”

"They claimed to be the subordinates of Wang Shaoyu, the chief soldier of Henan, who were deputy generals Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai, with more than 1,000 soldiers and horses." Tanma blurted out, and answered very cleanly.

Li Zicheng didn't continue to ask, but looked around, turned his gaze to Wu Ruyi, and asked instead: "After staying in the Henan base area for so long, do you know these two people?" Did they really come to surrender? ”

However, before Wu Ruyi could answer, Yuan Shizhong, the leader of a small rebel army who had just joined the Li family's army, replied first: "Leader Li, I know some of Wang Shaoyu's officers and soldiers, and I have heard a little about the situation inside. Based on what I have learned below, the words of Liu and Luo are credible, and they should be sincere? ”

"Oh... Leader Yuan, why are you so sure? Li Zicheng's eyebrows rose slightly, revealing a hint of eccentricity.

"That's the case, Chief Li, don't you know, this Wang Shaoyu is not only timid and afraid, he only knows how to fake the tiger, but he is also insatiable, and he has been deducting military salaries for a long time, and his subordinates are already resentful, even if there is no such thing, sooner or later he will have to mutiny and rebel."

Li Zicheng nodded frequently when he heard this, but he didn't immediately express his position, at this time, Tian Jianxiu immediately took two steps forward, and then said: "Boss, according to the report of the spies we sent to Luoyang City, Wang Shaoyu only arrived in Luoyang City yesterday, and when he first arrived, he was unhappy with the officials and soldiers guarding the city, although he didn't know what the specific inducement was, but in the end he almost forcibly entered the city, forcing King Fu to open the city gate. ”

"What's wrong with that? Does it have anything to do with Liu and Luo coming to surrender? Li Zicheng asked at the right time.

"The subordinates feel that there is some connection." Tian Jianxiu nodded slightly, and then continued: "According to the situation observed by our Tanma, the situation at that time was very strange, it stands to reason that Wang Shaoyu led the army not far to support, galloping all the way, and it was already sleepy and lacking horses, and the wise thing to do is to enter the city to repair and recuperate. However, in the end, it was Wang Shaoyu's Chinese army that entered the city, leaving the two wings in Dongguan, which was equivalent to letting us eat it directly, as if the soldiers and horses of Liu and Luo were outcasts. ”

"Well, in this case, call Liu and Luo over, as long as they really come to vote, I will treat them as my own people, part of the Li family's army." Li Zicheng looked at the scout horse and said lightly, the army has all stopped.

"Yes, Boss!"

Soon after, Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai appeared in front of everyone, looking uneasy, Li Zicheng did not have any narration, and said directly: "Two generals, Li Jiajun welcomes you to join." ”

Hearing this, the two of them were relieved in their hearts, and their faces were happy, but before they could thank them happily, Li Zicheng's cold voice sounded again: "However, before this, should the two of you get a petition to show their sincerity?" ”

At this moment, Liu Jianyi and Luo Tai chuckled in their hearts, and their hearts suddenly hung again, they glanced at each other, swallowed their saliva with difficulty, and then gritted their teeth, bowed and saluted, and asked in unison: "I also hope that Chief Li will make it clear, what should the two of us do to be regarded as having a vote?" ”

"It's very simple, after a short rest, immediately turn the horse's head and help me take Luoyang City, this is the vote."

"Okay, Leader Li, we promise!" The two did not hesitate and agreed in unison, it seems that they have already had this plan.

"Slow... Things are not so simple, and Li's words are not finished. ”

Li Zicheng came to this sentence abruptly, stopped the two who were about to take action, and faced the nervous and worried eyes of Liu and Luo, he slowly continued: "You don't have to be in such a hurry, let your subordinates eat and drink enough first, and then act, I don't care about such a little time." Moreover, in order to show my sincerity, a part of the Li family army will be mixed in with you, return to Luoyang City together, and launch an operation at the same time. In this way, the more likely it is to succeed. ”

All the people present were smart people, and they instantly understood Li Zicheng's deep meaning, this is not only sincerity, but also a kind of surveillance, if there is any change between the two, if they pretend to surrender, the Li family army who is mixed in can kill them.

However, Liu Jianyi and Luo Rucai were very calm, and did not have the slightest resistance to this arrangement, but happily replied: "Everything is arranged by the leader!" ”

"Okay, two generals, you might as well tell your subordinates that after this battle, when you take Luoyang City, you will not only have a salary of silver, but also a meal of meat!" Li Zicheng's heart was very happy, and he couldn't help but make a promise.

It seems that he is hungry and unbearable, he has not seen meat for a long time, hearing the word "meat", the two swallowed their saliva at the same time, Liu Jianyi said: "Leader, for the other defenders of Luoyang City, the subordinates may not know, but they know the people led by Wang Shaoyu very well, and they have long been resentful of Wang Shaoyu to the extreme, and their subordinates can pack tickets. ”

This was definitely a surprise, and Li Zicheng immediately promised again: "Okay, as long as you can really do it, I will remember you a great achievement!" ”

After saying this, Li Zicheng turned his head to look at Gu Junen and ordered: "Inform the cooking soldiers, immediately bury the pot and cook for the two generals' subordinates, you must be full!" ”

"Yes, boss, my subordinates will arrange it!"

Li Zicheng turned his gaze to Wu Ruyi's body and ordered: "From your team, select a part of the people, change clothes with the two generals' subordinates, and then return to Luoyang City together." ”

After saying this, Li Zicheng also gave Wu Ruyi a meaningful look, and the latter immediately responded and replied heartily: "Yes, boss!" ”
