Late at night, Li Zicheng, Li Guo and Liu Fangliang stood in a tent and talked softly.

"Boss, I really don't understand, even if we don't avenge the king's own use, Xing Hongwolf and those people will join our Li family's army, why should we do anything more?" Although Liu Fangliang's voice was very low, he still seemed very excited, and continued puzzled: "Moreover, once we clash with the official army, we are bound to lose a lot of people again, boss, is it really worth it?" ”

Seeming to have the same doubts, Li Guo immediately echoed: "Yes, uncle, in order to cover and rescue Wang Ziyong and others, we have lost nearly half of our troops and more than a thousand brothers in the past few days. If this continues, the elites we have come out of the base area will be greatly reduced, and there will be less than 3,000 left. ”

"What? How can it be? In just one month, nearly 2,000 brothers were lost, what happened? ”

Obviously, Li Zicheng never thought that in the short period of more than a month after he left, the Li Jiajun who cooperated with Wang Zijun would lose so many people, showing a look of disbelief, and couldn't help but exclaim again and again

Li Guo and Liu Fangliang glanced at each other, a trace of helplessness and sadness flashed between their eyebrows, and the former replied in a deep voice: "Uncle, that's the case, since you left, it has been less than half a month, and the situation in the border area of Shanxi, Hebei, and Henan provinces has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the rebel armies from all walks of life have been hunted down to this area, gathering a large number of officers and soldiers. ”

"Not to mention the more than 8,000 officers and troops in Henan, even the officers and troops in Shanxi, Hebei and Beijing are at least more than 20,000. Moreover, this does not include the officers and troops drawn from Sichuan, Huguang and other places. ”

Hearing these words, a flash of realization flashed in Li Zicheng's mind, but he was more puzzled, and asked again with a frown: "No, before leaving, didn't I tell me again and again?" Even if our Li Family's combat effectiveness is extraordinary, far superior to that of the ordinary troops of the imperial court, you must not clash head-on with the official army. If you need rescue and cover, try to be as clever as possible. ”

Without waiting for Li Guo to explain, Liu Fangliang replied first: "Boss, you don't know, Wang Ziyong, that old guy seems to realize that his time is short, and if he fights, he will not die at all." Whether it is rescuing other rebel armies, or encountering officers and soldiers, they are all rushing upwards without their lives, and it is useless for anyone to persuade them. ”

"Therefore, in order to protect the king's own life, we have to fight head-on with the officials and soldiers, which has caused a large number of Li Jiajun to be reduced." Li Zicheng interjected at the right time, and his expression had returned to calm.

"Yes, uncle, as you said. If Li Jiajun hadn't rushed forward head-on, Wang Ziyong would have died a long time ago, and how could it be delayed until today. Although Li Guo was known for his good temper, his words at this moment were also full of dissatisfaction with the king's own use.

Speaking of this, Li Guo seemed to have figured out something, showed a hint of abruptness, and said again uncertainly: "Moreover, uncle, in my opinion, the reason why Wang Ziyong let his subordinates join your command and join the Li family army is not without the possibility of making up for the loss of so many people by us." ”

"Hmm... It's very likely. Li Zicheng nodded lightly, with a noncommittal look, his words changed suddenly, and he asked instead: "By the way, after that, Xing Hongwolf may not know the situation and specific situation of the other rebel armies, with our relatively mature intelligence agency, you should know their situation, right?" ”

"Well, yes, uncle, I've been keeping an eye on all sides."

"Okay, later, you can tell me about them, I want to hear them."

After saying a word, Li Zicheng didn't say anything more, although his expression was as calm as water, and there were no waves, but the light in his eyes was a little bit, which showed that his heart was not calm, and he was a little nervous in anticipation.

Liu Fangliang's eyes were as wide as bells, showing great curiosity, and a hint of impatience.

However, Li Guo did not answer immediately, but showed a thoughtful look, as if he was organizing the language, and after a while, he said slowly: "According to the reports from our secret agents hidden in various state capitals and counties, Uncle Gao Yingxiang is active in the area of Wu'an County in Zhangde Mansion at this time. Not long ago, my uncle's army was ambushed and sniped by the officers and soldiers, and it was almost wiped out. However, fortunately, at the last moment, Gao Yigong and Tian Jianxiu cooperated tacitly, and thought of a good way to directly take Wu'an County, kill Zhang Guozhu, the county governor, and force Wang Shiyi, the Hebei patrol garrison, to withdraw his troops and return to Wu'an County. But... But..."

Seeing Li Guo's nephew looking like he was stumbling and wanting to speak, Li Zicheng chuckled in his heart, and a bad feeling arose, without waiting for Li Zicheng to ask, Liu Fangliang couldn't help it at first, and urged: "Li Guo, but what?" Tell me quickly, is there something bad going on? ”

As soon as Liu Fangliang's words fell, Li Zicheng immediately asked another question, and there was a faint sense of uneasiness in his words.

"Guo'er, was there any bad emergency when Gao Yigong and Tian Jianxiu attacked Wu'an County?"

"Not really, uncle." Li Guo shook his head, then showed a decisive look on his face, and said further: "Here's the thing, I don't know what's going on, since that incident, my uncle has not only frequently shown favor to Tian Jianxiu and Gao Yigong, and the meaning of wooing has become more and more obvious, but also often interferes in the internal affairs of the Li family, wanting to insert people in." ”

In an instant, Li Zicheng exhaled in his heart, it was not what he thought, Tian Jianxiu and Gao Yigong did not have any mistakes.

At the same time, Li Zicheng still has a little understanding and knows what his uncle wants to do?

Maybe he didn't mean to target himself, but from the several performances of Tian Jianxiu and Li Jiajun, who was led by Gao Yi's power, this cheap uncle thought carefully, hit the idea of the four thousand Li Jiajun, and was jealous of their combat effectiveness, and wanted to take it under his command and keep it for himself!

After thinking about it a little, Li Zicheng figured everything out, and he was not surprised, just imagine when he defected, but some tigers squatted and couldn't help it, he was greedy, not to mention the four thousand elite Li Jiajun?

Li Guo's expression is very complicated, not to mention how uncomfortable it is, it is very unpleasant!

At this moment, even Liu Fangliang, who was nervous, reacted and understood what Gao Yingxiang wanted to do, regardless of what he scolded: "Grandma's legs, is there such a shameless and shameless uncle in the world?" If you don't help, it doesn't matter.,I'm always thinking about squeezing my own nephew.,Want to rob your nephew's things.,It's not a thing.,Old immortal thing.。 ”

Liu Fangliang was so angry that he couldn't suppress the nameless fire in his heart at all, then looked at Li Zicheng, and couldn't help but say again: "Boss, when I think of it, we shouldn't have saved that old guy, we should have let him be trapped and killed in the mountains by Xuan Mo." It's not a thing, it's not as good as an outsider, Wang Ziyong, that old guy still knows how to repay his kindness. ”

At this moment, Li Zicheng waved his hand to stop Liu Fangliang's abuse and whining, and said lightly: "Okay, don't complain, don't worry, our Li Jiajun, no one wants to get involved." In a few days, as long as we arrive at Zhangde Mansion and meet Tian Jianxiu and Gao Yigong, everything will be calm, and he will no longer think about the idea of fighting the four thousand Li Jiajun. ”
