Chapter 242: Li Dingguo
The overall situation has been decided, and Li Xingzhi naturally wants to go up the mountain to meet Zuo Liangyu and the legendary Seven Killings Emperor Zhang Xianzhong for a while.
"Zhang Shaoqian, you take a long-range soldier of the infantry team to cooperate with Li Bangjie to go up the mountain with Ben Shuai, and hand over the camp to Liu Zhongwu and them, and Amba and Alan Chai will also go with Ben Shuai."
"Oh, the last general is commanded!"
"Hey, the minions are waiting for orders!"
Zhang Shaoqian, An Ba and others suddenly received the order, and they also wanted to see Zhang Xianzhong, who had dug up the ancestral grave of the Zhu family.
As soon as the clinker came out of the walled gate, Jin Qiuyin escorted Zhang Xianzhong's son Zhang Dingguo to the defense line of the Jingbei Army, but Jin Qiuyin was a little cowardly, and only patrolled outside the camp, but he did not dare to come forward to call the door.
No, no, the corpses covered in front of the Jingbei Army's defense line made Jin Qiuyin panic, he was just a bandit, where had he ever seen this slaughterhouse-like killing ground.
"The little one has seen Peng Laibo, and the little one is the one who was ordered by the military order of Zhang Wuye, the dragon who turned the sky, to escort Zhang Dingguo, the righteous son of the thief, to the military camp of the big marshal!"
From Li Xingzhi's banner, Jin Qiuyin easily judged that it was the legendary Penglaibo who killed Tartars like chickens this time.
"Uh...... Bring Zhang Dingguo to Benbo! ”
Li Xingzhi was also a little surprised, after Tao Wu was ordered to go on the expedition, he had not contacted him, if it wasn't for the rebellion in front of the battle, Li Xingzhi would have even forgotten to let Tao Wu capture Li Dingguo.
"The little one is ordered, someone is coming, and Zhang Dingguo will be escorted up."
Jin Qiuyin saw that Li Xingzhi's face was not inappropriate, and he also calmed down, after all, he had been a bandit leader, and his mental quality was still much higher than that of ordinary people.
Suddenly!
Zhang Dingguo was escorted to Li Xingzhi by seven or eight soldiers.
Tao Wu is also a person with a clear mind, this Zhang Dingguo is a person named by the marshal, so naturally he can't be humiliated casually, so he only sent a dozen soldiers to take care of it, and he didn't tie them together like he did with prisoners.
"I haven't seen Penglebo yet!"
Jin Qiuyin saw Zhang Dingguo's disdainful face, and couldn't help but snort.
"You are Li Xingzhi? Li Xingzhi, who captured Abatai and Yue Tuo alive? ”
Zhang Dingguo's face hesitated, around the Spring Festival last year, the Leiden soldiers annihilated nearly 20,000 invading Eastern captives in two months, and captured the slave chief Abatai and the Manchurian prince Yue Tuo, and the Ming court had already made the world clear.
After Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai raised the flag, they captured many Ming court officials, and from their mouths, Zhang Xianzhong and other bandit leaders naturally knew about the defeat of the Dongyu.
To be honest, Zhang Dingguo also admired Li Xingzhi's ability to defeat so many Dongyu, but he really never thought that he would be captured alive by this Penglai.
"Zhang Dingguo, your surname is Li! I don't know if Benbo called you Zhang Dingguo or Li Dingguo? ”
Li Xingzhi didn't pay attention to Li Dingguo's question, but asked jokingly.
"You...... If you want to kill, you will kill, if you want to chop, if it falls into your hands, a certain family has never thought of living. ”
The ancients paid attention to not changing his name, not changing his surname, Li Dingguo is also a high-minded and arrogant person, Li Xingzhi pointed to him changing his name and surname, how Li Dingguo was not angry.
"Hehe, you deserve to die, if you didn't attack everywhere, how could the Dongyu take advantage of the opportunity to plunder Beizhili, Shandong and Shanxi again and again, you know how many innocent people died tragically under the iron hooves of the Donglu, that is, just one Jinan Prefecture, nearly 400,000 people were slaughtered last year."
"That's the incompetence of you officials, if the people can't live, who wants to come out and be a rogue? Shaanxi and Henan, there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles, white bones are in the wilderness, the people are easy to eat, we don't have trouble, others will also get into trouble. ”
Regarding Li Xingzhi's words, Zhang Dingguo replied mockingly.
What he said was the truth, the officials forced the people to rebel, and the people had to rebel, and the civil officials, gentry, vassal kings, and even merchants and generals of the Ming court were sucking the flesh and blood of the people without restraint.
Those princes in the court, while flaunting the righteousness of the monarch and the way of Confucius and Mencius, while doing their best to search for the bone marrow of the people, the Guanning army and the Jiubian military town collapsed in front of the long knife of the Dongyu, and suppressed the peasant army one by one as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Heaven is evil, it is still possible, self-inflicted, can not live, such a court will not die, so is there any heavenly reason?
Li Xingzhi opened his mouth slowly, "What you said is right, thieves are like combs, soldiers are like grates, and now Zuo Liangyu, who was surrounded and killed on Agate Mountain by Ben Shuai, is probably not less evil than you, and even they killed more people, so Ben Shuai wants to kill him and avenge thousands of people." ”
"But you, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng coerced the people to rebel, but for their own ambitions, the court appeased you, and after Xiong Du surveyed the soldiers, he allocated enough food to you, but Zhang Xianzhong in order to expand his strength, constantly recruited rebels, and planned to start up again, your father-in-law even has the jade seal and gold book ready, are you trying to save the world? Of course, if you lay down a base area, run it well, and don't harm the people of the world, your commander will never attack for no reason, but if you lay down a land, eat up all of it, and then create more homeless people to make trouble with you, then you should die. ”
"The emperor takes turns, come to my house next year, the emperor of the Zhu family is not benevolent, why can't we rebel?"
Zhang Dingguo's face turned red, because Li Xingzhi's words hit the key point of the peasant army, they didn't know how to run the territory, but wandered around Shaanxi, Henan, and Huguang.
"Of course, Ben Shuai also started a rebellion, and now Ben Shuai is also making a rebellion against the Zhu family, not only destroying the officials in Shandong, but also looting the mansion of King De and the mansion of Yan Shenggong, but Ben Shuai only made up, 30,000 military horses, Ben Shuai used the silver and food that was looted to feed hundreds of thousands of people in Leiden, that is, this year, hundreds of thousands of people in Leiden have been able to provide for themselves, and you, in addition to endless destruction, what will you do?"
"This ...... Peng Laibo captured Dingguo, isn't it just to say this to Dingguo! ”
Zhang Dingguo was speechless, and said a sentence stubbornly.
"Li Dingguo, the so-called brothers are on the wall, and they are humiliated together, and Ben Shuai intends to act in Liaodong, if you are a man, you will go with Ben Shuai to kill the Tartars, what kind of hero is it here to harm the people in the name of rebelling against the government?"
After so many words, Li Xingzhi finally revealed his purpose, which was to recruit Li Dingguo.
"Uh...... This? ”
Zhang Dingguo clearly heard that Li Xingzhi was calling his real name, he couldn't figure it out, his reputation was not obvious, this Penglaibo Li Xingzhi would actually invite him to fight Dongyu.
To tell the truth, Li Dingguo is still a little moved by Li Xingzhi's proposal, he thinks that the art of war strategy is no worse than others, Li Xingzhi can beat two Tartar kings in a row, why can't he?
"Li is just a captured person, after the battle of Agate Mountain, the righteous father can never live, loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, the foundation of human beings, how can Li be willing to contribute to the enemy."
Li Dingguo's eyes were fixed on Li Xingzhi, who was about the same age as himself, he was arrogant, and he would never bow his head because of Li Xingzhi's few words.
