"Uncle, the prime minister's conditions are good enough, what are you hesitating about? Yuan Shizhong's surrender was only awarded a town general, and there was no fixed jurisdiction, the prime minister not only gave you Huguang's military affairs, but also added you as the prince of Pingguo, you must know that in the entire Jingbei army, only Huang Wenchang, who laid down the Beijing division for the prime minister, was awarded the title of state duke, and the rest of Yang Biao and Wang Zhong and other hardcore henchmen who followed him were only awarded the title of marquis. ”

On the upper floor of the gate of the east city of Nanyang City, Ai Nengqi looked at the hesitant Ma Huihui depressedly, and his heart was full of slander, no wonder you and Luo Rucai and other veterans of the rebel army were pressed to death by Li Zicheng, a junior, this damn act is too indecisive.

"Yes, Ma Leader, now the most likely to compete for the world is Li Xingzhi of the Beijing Division and Li Zicheng of the Central Plains, as for the King Lu of the Southern Capital, he is just a puppet of Donglin, a group of self-defending thieves, if we don't make a decision early, thinking about betting on both ends, sooner or later it will be destroyed, Li Zicheng is narrow-minded, can only share weal and woe, can not share wealth and wealth, Li Xingzhi's person, although his subordinates do not know much, but this holy decree is really placed in front of you, in my opinion, it is better to vote for the Shandong army."

Zhang Shouye was originally Ma Shouying's township party and one of the most prestigious leaders in the horse camp.

"Leader Zhang said well, I heard that Li Xingzhi was also born as a thief, and like us, he was an anti-starter who made the Ming Dynasty, and I think he will still talk about the morality of the rivers and lakes, in my opinion, it is better to attack Luyang Pass in the name of sending troops to Lushan, and then see how the court treats us? If Li Xingzhi treats us equally, we will simply vote for the imperial court, and it is better than being a thief with fear, if Li Xingzhi's words are insincere, we have Luyang Guantian Insurance, and it should not be a problem to insist on three or five months, and we can also calmly return to Huguang at that time. ”

Wang Long and Yang Chengzu, the two old Luo Ying departments, also recognized Zhang Shouye's views, although Luo Rucai likes luxury, but he is still quite righteous towards his brother, in this era, people pay attention to the death of a confidant, taking advantage of Li Zicheng's opportunity to be far away in Heluo, Wang Long and others all think that this is a good opportunity to avenge Luo Rucai.

"Alas...... What you said makes sense, so let's send troops tomorrow, Lao Zhang, you take the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to stay in the city, and the leader of the self-unified army will break through Luyang Pass first and get back the brothers' homes. ”

The Ma Shouying Department under the banner of the Shun Army was accompanied by Li Xin all the way north and went straight to Luyang Pass.

The battle ahead was tight, and although Tian Hu, the commander of the Shun army guarding the pass, still had some doubts about Ma Huihui, the leader of the peasant army who was forced to leave Xinyang by Li Zicheng, he still sent all the grain outside the pass before Ma Huihui's troops arrived at Luyang Pass.

"Why, Counselor Li and Leader Tian don't want to let this leader enter the city, it seems that King Chuang still doesn't trust my old horse, forget it, we don't want this food, Lao Tzu will return to Nanyang."

When Luyang closed, Ma Huihui looked at the closed gate and the grain and grass that had been loaded outside the city with a disgruntled face, and was about to lead the troops back.

"Horse leader, you can't do it, you can't do it, the city gate is closed to guard against the Ming army, how can it be to guard against you? Wait a minute, and the student will call the door. ”

In Li Xin's view, although Ma Huihui and Li Zicheng are a little discordant, but in dealing with the imperial court, Ma Shouying is the most determined of all the leaders of the rebel army, and it stands to reason that Ma Huihui should not have the idea of turning his back on the rebel army.

"This is like a human saying, don't worry, this leader only brings his personal guards into the customs, we are not treacherous villains."

Ma Hui was overjoyed when he saw Li Xin agree, but he used the excuse to sarcastically say that Li Zicheng was not.

"Well, the student is going to call the door."

Li Xin's face turned red, and he laughed dryly, and walked in the direction of Guancheng.

Seeing that the horse returned with only fifty or sixty relatives, Tian Hu no longer hesitated, if he wanted the horse to run, he had to let the horse eat grass, and it was reasonable for people to enter the pass to see their wives and children getting old, and besides, there were fifty or sixty people, so what reason did they have not to open the city? What's more, Ma Huihui is still a veteran figure in the rebel army.

In order to show respect, Tian Hu personally went down to greet Ma Shouying, but what he never expected was that Ma Shouying would dare to risk his own life and only bring dozens of people to trick him into opening the city.

"Li Zicheng is unkind and unjust, in order to kill the brothers of the blood alliance such as Leader Luo and Leader He for no reason, so he imprisoned Ma's wife and child, today Ma is going to make a break with Li Zicheng, the brothers will kill Lao Tzu, and our people will come up immediately."

As soon as he got into the hole of the city gate, Ma Huihui suddenly drew his sword and rushed to Tian Hu and others who went down to the city to greet him, and the guards behind him also raised their knives and spears in the same way and pounced on the officers and soldiers of Shun who were defending the city.

The high-level leaders knew the dirt between Ma Huihui and Li Zicheng, but the ordinary soldiers at the bottom didn't know anything about it, after Li Zicheng established the Dashun regime, he also crowned Ma Huihui as the heroic general of the Yongfu Battalion, such an official position is one of the best in the Shun army, several levels higher than their main general Tian Jianxiu, who would have thought that one of the few leaders who had already done so would actually use a knife against himself.

The officers and soldiers of the horse battalion, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed up like a tide after seeing Ma Shouying's move, and rushed towards Luyang Pass like a tide, especially the cavalry of the horse department, they almost killed under the pass when the Shun army guarding the pass had just reacted.

The result is obvious, the prepared Ma Hui Hui Division, hit the Shun army guarding the pass by surprise, and the number of Shun troops guarding the pass is much less than that of the Ma Hui Hui Division, and it collapsed immediately after the Ma Department entered the city, and the various departments rushed to the Ma Hui Hui who had already controlled the situation.

"Horse leader, what do you mean by that?"

Li Xin looked at the bloody head in Ma Huihui's hand, and exclaimed in horror, where did he think that he actually invited back a killing god for Tian Jianxiu.

"The meaning of this leader is obvious, that is, there is revenge and revenge, and there is revenge, Brother Li is an understanding person, he should know how to advance and retreat!"

Ma Hui smiled back and threw Tian Hu's head in front of Li Xin, lifted the placket of his clothes, and casually wiped the long knife that was dripping blood a few times.

"Students understand, students understand."

In this troubled world, those who can survive, and even live with some status, have a little bit of vision, Li Xin, the first talent, also has the good qualities of these people, without thinking too much, just knelt down in front of Ma Huihui and showed his loyalty.

After controlling Luyang Pass, Ma Shouying deployed troops and horses to station in the east of Shaohua Mountain and the back of Luyang Pass on Shiyang Mountain, as well as a little farther away from Beizhai, Nanzhai and Qingshi Banzhai to ensure the safety of the entire Luyang Pass defense system, and at the same time block Tian Jianxiu's way to escape south.
