Chapter 425: Don't Leave Luo Rucai (I)
"You mean we vote for Li Xingzhi? How does this work? He is an officer and soldier, we are thieves, and if we vote for him, we must abide by their Shandong army, can we still be so happy as a thief? ”
After listening to Ai Nengqi's words, Zuo Jin Wang He Jin and Guo Tianxing Zhang Tianlin and others were opposed, they have been thieves for a long time, and they are used to being free, where are they willing to join the official army, and then they are under the fence, where they are in charge of their own affairs.
"Vote for Li Xingzhi? I won't vote for Ma Huihui, no matter how I say that he is an official soldier after all, and we are not all the way, besides, I have more than 30,000 horses in my hand, where in the world can I not go? ”
Ma Huihui's real name is Ma Shouying, a native of Suide, Shaanxi, and Gao Yingxiang, Wang Jiaying and others are all from the border army in Shaanxi, and have a high reputation in the righteous army.
"What Martha said is that he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, and we don't know who Li Xingzhi is? Just licking my face and sticking it up, do you want my Cao Cao's face anymore? ”
Luo Rucai is also reluctant to join the Shandong army, since the Shaanxi uprising, Luo Rucai faced the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, repeated many times between rebellion and surrender, he did not believe that Zhang Xianzhong was suppressed, broke through the capital of the Eastern Emperor, captured and killed the puppet Qing Emperor Huang Taiji, and now began to make Chongzhen Emperor Li Xingzhi is a good man and a woman, for fear that he will be gnawed into scum by the Shandong army after surrendering.
"Uncles, it's not that the little nephew is willing to defect to the Shandong Army, it's just that Li Zicheng sharpens his knife Huo Huo, you also saw it in the government today, he is bent on determining his dominance over the various departments of the righteous army, the little nephew feels that a mere alliance leader must not satisfy his appetite, he instructed the tiger today to say the eighteen sons, the main artifact, isn't it just to unify the righteous army, if we don't leave, the little nephew is afraid that Li Zicheng will have any thoughts, you don't go, the little nephew is going to withdraw, the little nephew heard that my righteous brothers are all in Li Xing's place, Sun Kewang has been awarded the title of political envoy of Shandong, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu are both in command of the army, and the little nephew thinks, with them, Li Xingzhi will not embarrass me. ”
"It's okay for you to go to Shandong, let's see who Li Xingzhi is? In the future, when we are cornered, maybe there is a way out, and I will transfer another 500 cavalry to you, in case there is a change, you can leave tonight. ”
Luo Rucai pondered for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed to Ainengqi's request.
"Brother Luo is right, eggs can't be put in a basket, Li Zicheng is Zhiyuxiong, I am also worried that he is not satisfied with the position of the leader of the Righteous Army, and the virtuous nephew going to Shandong is also a way out."
Ma Shouying also thinks that what Luo Rucai said is reasonable, although they are all leaders of one side, but after all, Li Zicheng's strength is too strong, and he and others are looking for a way back, which is also a precaution.
"In this way, the little nephew will move the camp tonight, but Li Zicheng has many generals, in order to prevent him from sending people to chase and kill, the little nephew only took 1,500 cavalry from his headquarters and Uncle Luo's 500 soldiers to evacuate Xinyang, and the rest of the brothers rely on Uncle Luo to take care of one or two."
Ai Nengqi is also a decisive person, resigned from Luo Rucai and others, returned to the camp, and went straight to the direction of Guide with the cavalry of his own headquarters and the five hundred cavalry under Luo Rucai.
Around midnight the next day, Luo Rucai, Ma Jinbao, He Yilong and others received posts sent by Li Zicheng, inviting them to enter the city for a banquet.
"Your envoy go back to the king and say that I will arrive later."
There are dozens of leaders of the rebel army in Xinyang, and He Yilong has nearly 60,000 troops in his hands, and his posture yesterday is also low, he doesn't believe that Li Zicheng dares to do anything to himself in Xinyang, leaving only Lin Yangcheng and Liu Xiyao to guard the camp, so he took He Jin and more than 100 personal soldiers into Xinyang City.
Luo Rucai held Li Zicheng's post in his hand, and said to Ma Shouying worriedly: "Li Zicheng invited me to the banquet, and I don't know what the idea is, so Ma Hui will bring you out with troops, and a certain family will bring 3,000 soldiers into the city, if there is any chaos, it is good to have a response."
"It's okay, it's just that Ma doesn't go, and I'm afraid that there will be a dislike within our rebel army, and now that the war is imminent, it's not good to have internal constraints."
Ma Shouying was a staunch rebel, although he didn't want to be annexed by Li Zicheng, he didn't want the righteous army that had been gathered with great difficulty to be divided again, which affected the great cause of the rebel army's rebellion against the Ming Dynasty.
"What's this, I saw Li Zicheng, and said that you drank too much last night and didn't wake up with a hangover, he is just dissatisfied, and he won't show it."
Luo Rucai was full of confidence, he thought that what he had arranged was enough and that even if Li Zicheng had the heart to make trouble, he would never dare to act rashly when there were strong troops outside.
At three o'clock, He Yilong, He Jin and other leaders of the fifth battalion of the left side of the revolution arrived in the city.
Li Zicheng, as the owner of Xinyang, naturally went out of the house to greet him in person, and after a few words of greeting between the two sides, Niu Jinxing invited He Yilong and others into the flower hall.
"Cao Cao, you are really suspicious and deceitful, don't you believe Li, and you actually brought so many people into the city?"
After inviting He Yilong, who was the first to arrive, into the mansion, Luo Rucai also arrived at the Xinyang mansion, Li Zicheng snorted, personally walked down the steps, and helped Luo Rucai, who had just dismounted.
"What are you talking about, King Chuang? You are the leader of our rebel army, and the little cubs below have been clamoring to see the demeanor of King Chuang, Luo really can't stop them, so he has to take them into the city. ”
"It's good to say, it's easy to say, since the brothers appreciate their faces, a certain family has already prepared wine and meat here, and I will arrange the wine and food later, Mr. Song, you will go to the account room to pay nine thousand taels of silver, and the brothers who came today will each be rewarded with three taels of silver."
Li Zicheng didn't seem to care, helped Luo Rucai into the Xinyang Mansion, turned to the mansion gate, and waited for the star Zhang Tianlin.
"Big boss, the small feeling is a little inappropriate, let's bring so many people into the city, Li Zicheng is still so enthusiastic, there must be a demon when things go wrong, I see that there is a side door in the back garden, let's go first."
Ji Jue is a native of Pingliang, Shanxi, Xiucai was born, after joining the Luo Rucai shogunate, he has always advocated that Luo Rucai is independent of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's peasant army system, and created a base area alone.
"Mr. Ji is saying that Li Zicheng is plotting against us, tricking us into the city, and wanting to take us down in one fell swoop."
Luo Rucai's general Yang Chengzu was shocked, and hurriedly looked around to see that there were only more than ten guards on his side.
"It's too late, so let's go quickly!"
Luo Rucai also felt a little inappropriate at this time, according to the news, they had already entered the backyard flower hall, but after they entered the backyard, a soldier of the fifth battalion of the left did not see it, which made the cunning and changeable Luo Rucai suddenly alert.
