Nanyang Province.

Ma Huihui, who was pinned on by Liu Wenxiu, looked at Li Xin, the messenger of the Shun army, who knelt down in the palace to beg for reinforcements, with a playful face.

"How did Tian Mixiu's battle be fought? Tens of thousands of troops were intercepted in Lushan by thousands of Shandong troops for seven days, did Lao Tzu still have time to send reinforcements? ”

Ma Huihui did not have the embarrassment under Li Zichang's knife last year, but was full of spirit.

"Leader Ma, although the leader of Tian has stopped troops on Pingdingshan, but the main force is not defeated, but Shandong Luo is condescending, Pingdingshan is dozens of miles in radius, it is difficult for our army to be fully surrounded, King Shun is now the critical moment of the decisive battle with the official army in Heluo, if our army is lost, I am afraid that the army is unstable, and I hope that the horse leader will be in the same righteous army, and send troops as soon as possible!"

"Uh...... Staff Officer Li's lips are cold, Lao Tzu also understands, but our army is short of food and grass, I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold out to Lushan, and Lao Tzu's family is now in Luyang Pass, if I open up the official road for King Chuang in this battle, can Tian Jianxiu call the shots and return Lao Tzu's family to a certain family? ”

"The problem of grain and grass is not big, Luyang Pass has just collected a batch of grain, as long as the horse leader sends troops, the students can guarantee half of the horse leader's call, as for the horse leader's family, King Shun is also worried that the horse leader is fighting outside, and the family has the pain of boat and car fatigue, as long as Heluo is victorious, our army will stabilize Henan, and the horse leader's family should be retrieved."

Under the eaves, people had to bow their heads, and although Ma Huihui had made Li Zi the master, he retained a certain degree of independence, and it was natural for him to take the opportunity to ask for money and food, so Li Xin had to take care of these two things.

"Okay, since Tian Jianxiu has a grain call over there, if the leader shirks it again, he can't say anything, you go to the guest room to rest, and the leader will go to order troops."

"Then the student thanked the horse leader."

Li Xin is Li Zhong's cousin and the prototype of Li Yan in history.

The first is to "respect the virtuous and the courteous, eliminate the mob and sympathize with the people", the second is to "practice benevolence and righteousness, prohibit the soldiers from committing adultery and killing", and the third is to build momentum for the righteous army, Li Yan knows that the reason why the common people follow Li Zicheng to rebel is actually to eat and eat.

Therefore, he made up many catchy slogans, such as: "Open the gate to welcome the king, and when the king comes, he will not pay food", "Open the door early to worship the king, and discipline everyone to be happy".

The common people were forced to live by the imperial court, and the rebel army did not have to pay food, so Li Zicheng, who had just left Shangluo, gathered nearly 500,000 troops in more than a year.

This time, Li Zicheng left Li Xin to guard the rear with Tian Jianxiu, because he took a fancy to Li Xin's ability to plan, so that he could collect enough grain for the huge peasant army.

"Leader Ma, do you really want to lead the army to Lushan?"

After Li Xin left the court, Wang Lin Chengcheng, Zhang Shouye, the general of the Ma Ying Department, Wang Long, Yang Chengye, and others of the former Luo Rucai Department turned out from behind the screen impatiently.

"Li Zicheng is a wolf's ambition, for the sake of his own selfish desires, he regards my righteous army as nothing, and Lin and him swear not to stand apart."

"Leader Luo is as important as a mountain to my old Yang, if Yang is treacherous and goes to help Li Zicheng, a despicable and shameless villain, wouldn't it be a beast that is inferior to pigs and dogs."

"Yes, the former is in Xinyang, if it weren't for the quick opportunity of the horse leader, we would have been harmed by Li Zicheng's dog's day, and now let us send troops to rescue him, Tian Jianxiu is really a fool's dream."

Li Zicheng's annexation of Luo Rucai and the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution in Xinyang by force was undoubtedly evident after the crisis of the rebel army.

In the original history, after the defeat of the Great Shun Army in a stone, it lost the entire Gyeonggi, Shanxi, Henan and Shaanxi and other ruling areas within a year, the ostensible reason is that the local gentry class and local military leaders are unwilling to accept the rule of the Shun army, and the more important reason is that the people within the Yi army are unstable.

Now that Li Zicheng's main force was cut off by the Jingbei Army, the leaders of the rebel army stationed in Nanyang suddenly turned away from Germany and were unwilling to obey Li Zicheng's orders.

"The meaning of the brothers, this leader is clear, the former Li Xingzhi also sent someone to contact a certain family, saying that he intended to show the emperor that I am the marquis of the imperial court, the chief soldier of Henan, but we are all the life and death enemies of the Zhu dynasty, so I have been hesitating, and I hope you will take a look at it with me, how to deal with this matter."

Ma Shouying was a staunch rebel in history, and unlike Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, who repeatedly surrendered to the official army, even when the rebel army was in a desperate situation, he never wavered, so after receiving Ai Nengqi's letter, the matter of surrender has been left unresolved.

"Li Xingzhi is not such a person! I heard that this person treats all the generals of Toucheng equally, Zhang Kewang can sit in the court and elders, Zhang Dingguo also has heavy troops in the Shandong army, and I don't think it will harm us. ”

Lin Chengcheng glanced at Ma Shouying hesitantly, although Li Xingzhi had a large number of rebel army leaders, but he did not let go of Zhang Xianzhong and Zuo Liangyu, who can guarantee that after the party lost his sincerity to the Shandong army, Li Xingzhi would not ignore the morality of the rivers and lakes and commit crimes against himself, the important leaders of the rebel army.

"Lao Tzu also means this, the officials and soldiers have always been untrustworthy and unrighteous, and they look down on us people who are from mud legs, I am afraid that Li Xingzhi will use his title to lure me and others, and when the time comes, will we still have a way to live."

Ma Shouying sighed heavily, since his rebellion, the officials and soldiers he has killed, the cities he has looted, and the evil things he has done, how can he count, the court can let go of the soldiers at the bottom, is it possible to forgive himself for these first evils,

People are selfish, the so-called rather than the head of the chicken, not the tail of the phoenix, he is unwilling to accept Li Zicheng's adaptation, in fact, he is also unwilling to condescend to others, and now surrendering the official army is also to give others a low position, which is also the reason why Ma Shouying has not been able to make up his mind for a long time.

"The big leader, the big leader, Zhang Nengqi, the righteous son of the eight kings, has something important to ask to see the leader, and now he has been brought to the city by the Zhao Guan team guarding the city, because the envoy of King Shun is in the palace, and the Zhao Guan team invited people to the Dongcheng City Tower, will the big boss see it or not?"

While everyone was talking, Xing Wu, the leader of Ma Shouying's personal soldiers, hurriedly broke into the lobby, and hugged his fists with everyone, which was to recount the matter of Ai Nengqi's visit.

"Ai Nengqi is now under the command of Yang Biao of Huaiyang Town, Li Xing's henchman, and now he is visiting, there must be a big event, you and go with the leader to meet him, Brother Lin, you have a good look at that Li Xin for Lao Tzu in the house, don't leak the news of the Shandong army messenger."

At the beginning, Ai Nengqi went to Shandong, or Ma Shouying and Luo Rucai's opinions, but also to leave a way out for himself and others, and now that Ai Nengqi has gone to Nanyang in person, Ma Shouying naturally has no reason not to see.
