"Oh, that's good, we Lantian people never cause trouble, but we are not afraid of things, since he Yang Sichang, Zuo Liangyu, and Zhou Yanru dare to provoke us, they should be ready to be retaliated by us."

Li Chaosheng looked at Bai Shoumin, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, not everyone can plot against Lantian, and no one can escape with his whole body after plotting against Lantian.

After Li Chaosheng said this, Bai Shoumin said: "Then the county honor, let's start implementing it now?" Three days later is Yang Sichang's birthday. ”

"Oh, then you have to hurry, don't make Yang Gong wait for a long time."

Li Chaosheng said with a smile, followed by Bai Shoumin and nodded: "Yes, the county lord can rest assured that the task will be completed." ”

Li Chaosheng stretched his waist when he heard this, and then said to Gu Zi, who came back after conveying the order: "Inform Tongqian Guan, let them send someone to contact Zhang Xianzhong, and ask him, Ai Nengqi, and that Zhao Ding, do he want to do it or not, don't, kill it directly, and save us some food." ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi smiled and said, "County Zun, we not only arrested these two, but also Liu Wenxiu." ”

"Liu Wenxiu?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi suspiciously, when did this guy catch it?

Gu Zi smiled when he heard this: "When Li Dingguo led the troops to surrender, he grabbed it as a greeting gift. ”

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Hahaha, good, good, if I don't like Li Dingguo, I don't do things empty-handed, who doesn't like it." ”

Gu Zi also smiled when he heard this, and then Li Chaosheng said: "Okay, since Liu Wenxiu has also been caught, let's sell it back together, and let Tongqian Guan send someone to inform Zhang Xianzhong, Ai Nengqi is 50,000 taels, Liu Wenxiuwen is not a martial artist, if it is high, Zhang Xianzhong may not be willing to redeem people, just 30,000, as for Zhao Ding, who can chop firewood, 20,000 taels, pack 100,000 taels and sell them back, otherwise we will tear up the ticket." ”

After Li Chaosheng said this, Gu Zi smiled and said: "Cheng, by the way, the county honor, should we send someone who can speak well in this matter." ”

Li Chaosheng heard this and looked at Gu Zi and said: "What the hell, can you send your own people to this kind of thing, if Zhang Xianzhong is crazy and doesn't want to give money, what if you slaughter our people, every soldier in our Lantian is precious, but you can't give Zhang Xianzhong consumption, didn't they fight a big victory yesterday and captured a lot of prisoners?" Wouldn't it be okay to find one, and then ask Shi Dalei or Dezhen to write a ransom letter? ”

"Yes, yes, I see, then this is the way it goes."

Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "Go, now that Li Dingguo has run away, Zhang Xianzhong's generals who can lead the troops are seriously insufficient, so they just sell these three goods at a good price." ”

"Yes."

Millet soon went to send a telegram.

Zhang Xianzhong returned to the barracks with the men and horses, his face was darkened, and then he threw the horsewhip on the table and shouted: "Pull Sun Kewang over to Lao Tzu." ”

Soon, his soldiers pressed Sun Kewang and came to Zhang Xianzhong's Chinese army tent.

"Father-in-law."

Sun Kewang knelt down and looked at Zhang Xianzhong and shouted, at this time Zhang Xianzhong turned his back to Sun Kewang, heard Sun Kewang's shout, and then grabbed the horsewhip on the table, rushed to Sun Kewang, and whipped Sun Kewang with the horsewhip.

"Bastard, bastard, it's Li Dingguo you sent someone to assassinate, and you blame Lao Tzu, you bastard."

Bang Bang Bang ......

The whip was whipped on Sun Kewang's body fiercely, Sun Kewang's beaten clothes were dyed red by blood, but he didn't say a word, Zhang Xianzhong was angry, waved the horse whip, whip after whip, I don't know how many whips, Zhang Xianzhong finally got tired, threw the horse whip, looked at Sun Kewang and said: "You bastard, she is so jealous and jealous, she doesn't want to forge ahead, she forced Li Dingguo away for me, Li Dingguo is gone, you fucking lead me with soldiers!" ”

Sun Kewang lowered his head at this time and said, "Son, it's not that you can't lead troops." ”

"You led the troops, 60,000 people were chased around by 20,000 people, and you led the soldiers before you fought?"

"You led the troops, 120,000 people besieged 10,000 people in Tongqian Pass, and finally ran back in disgrace, it was the soldiers you led! It is to hang a fast cake around the neck of the dog, and the soldiers are better than you. ”

"Father-in-law, you are partial to Li Dingguo, as long as he can lead troops, he will fight."

"You brute."

Zhang Xianzhong kicked Sun Kewang and lay down, Sun Kewang was lying on the ground with tears in his eyes at this time, and said aggrievedly: "Obviously I am the eldest brother, but you have never praised me in public, every day my son is a country, when did you say that my son is hopeful, he is your son, I am not, am I not?" ”

"When we rebelled in northern Shaanxi, you were shot by a bow and arrow and injured your ankle, but it was I who fled all the way with you on my back and escaped the pursuers."

"And when you were in Sichuan, I risked my life to rush into the siege to save you, but what about you, you never praised me, wow~"

Sun Kewang was crying like a child at this time, Zhang Xianzhong listened to Sun Kewang's crying, looked at Sun Kewang like this, and couldn't help sighing.

He knows all these things, but Sun Kewang's jealousy can be true, Zhang Xianzhong has never been an indecisive person, if it is just these 'trivial things' between father and son that Sun Kewang said, Zhang Xianzhong may not pay attention to it at all, those who win the world, there are a few people who value love and righteousness, Zhang Xianzhong is naturally not a person who can tolerate people for the sake of love and righteousness.

And the main reason why he just beat Sun Kewang to get angry, instead of directly pulling out a knife and killing people, is that he has no one to use.

This is the main pain point, Zhang Xianzhong is no one available now, Zhang Xianzhong's four main generals are his four sons, and now Li Dingguo, who is the most capable of fighting, has rebelled, and the third and fourth are arrested by Lantian.

With the troops in front of him, he can only count on Sun Kewang, so he fights and fights, but he still has to use it, Zhang Xianzhong panted and analyzed the pros and cons, followed by a sigh, got up and helped Sun Kewang up and said: "Kewang, I feel sorry for my father, the good foundation is falling apart now, how do you let your father-in-law deal with himself." ”

Sun Kewang lowered his head when he heard this, wiped his tears, and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, Li Dingguo is gone, and Sun Kewang is gone, as long as there is a son, I promise not to let our foundation collapse." ”

Zhang Xianzhong heard this and said: "Yes, but now Lantian can't fight anymore, we lost our armor in a few battles, nearly 200,000 troops, and now there are only 60,000 or 70,000 left, and the rest of the dead are dead, wounded, and dead, if we continue to fight, we will lose all this bit of our family, so we can't fight." ”

Sun Kewang heard the words and said: "What the righteous father said is very true, our relationship with the imperial court is not solid, we have dug Chongzhen's ancestral grave, how can Chongzhen really Zhao'an us, just see that our strength is very great, we can't be destroyed, only to be false and wronged, Zhao'an, if we fight with Lantian and move the old book, I'm afraid that without Lantian, Yang Sichang's old goods will suggest that Chongzhen give priority to eliminating us." ”

Zhang Xianzhong nodded when he heard this: "What my son said is right, rest today, and tomorrow we will drive back to Hubei Valley City and repair there." ”

Sun Kewang nodded, followed by Zhang Xianzhong and said: "In addition, father-in-law, it is easy to get a thousand troops and a general, and it is difficult for a child to be alone, so I still need to find a way to get the third and fourth children back, first, their military talents are very good, the third is good at planning, and the fourth is brave in battle, with these two people to help me, I will definitely be able to train our righteous army better than when Li Dingguo was there." ”

"As for why these two are the main thing, it is mainly their loyalty to their father-in-law, I'm afraid it's hard to find such a thing again."

Sun Kewang is actually very good, and he still takes good care of his little brother, and at this time he didn't forget to remind Zhang Xianzhong to save the little brother.

Zhang Xianzhong sighed when he heard this: "We really need the help of the third and fourth children, but they are all in Lantian, and it is difficult to save people in Lantian." ”

"Newspaper~"

Just when Zhang Xianzhong said this, there was a sudden sound of soldiers reporting the news outside, Zhang Xianzhong looked outside the big tent when he heard the words, Sun Kewang also looked over when he heard the words, and then saw a herald running over and said: "King Lantian sent a prisoner back to report the news." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong looked at Sun Kewang, who stood up at this time and said, "Father-in-law, you should see me." ”

Zhang Xianzhong nodded and said, "Xuan." ”

Soon, a soldier wearing Zhang Xianzhong's military uniform, but his appearance was very embarrassed, ran in, and knelt on the ground with a puff: "I've seen the king." ”

Zhang Xianzhong looked at the man in front of him: "Which battalion was there before?" ”

"Return to the three kings to lead the camp."

"Oh, the third command, what are you looking for me this time?"

Hearing this, the soldier hurriedly spoke: "My lord, I was sent back to deliver a letter to the king. ”

"Sending a message? What kind of letter? ”

Zhang Xianzhong looked at the soldier, and the soldier took out a letter from his arms at this time and said: "This is written by Li Dezhen, the guard of the copper coin." ”

Zhang Xianzhong motioned for Sun Kewang to take the letter and read it.

When Sun Kewang heard this, he immediately took the letter and looked at it, and then his face became weird, Zhang Xianzhong squinted at Sun Kewang and said, "What's the matter, read it." ”

Sun Kewang smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Hello Zhang Xianzhong, I am Li Dezhen, the general of the copper coin gate, how are you fighting these days, do you still have to fight with us?" If you have enough, let's do a pile deal, I heard that you dug a lot of silver money in the ancestral grave of the old Zhu family, and the brothers are relatively tight, so it is better to lend the brothers flowers, of course, we will not spend in vain, you give the money, and we will return the son who captured you to you. ”

"Of course, your big thief Kou son must still be valuable, the following is the price list we negotiated, Ai Nengqi 50,000 taels, Liu Wenxiu 40,000 taels, Zhao Ding 20,000 taels, pack 100,000 taels of silver, people will send you to the gate of the village, of course, if you don't agree, it doesn't matter, your two sons, one chopping wood is quite edible, and our Lantian is not rich, so we killed the provincial rations, so be it, if you agree, let this prisoner of war come back and send a letter, if you don't agree, the letter can be torn up, and the person can be killed."

Sun Kewang read this, stopped, looked at Zhang Xianzhong, and said: "Father-in-law, let's tear up this letter, this Lantian is simply too deceitful." ”

"Hehehe......"

Zhang Xianzhong smiled angrily at this time: "Hahaha...... Interesting and interesting, Lao Tzu has been a bandit for half his life, and it is the first time he has been written a blackmail letter, okay, Lantian is really full of talents. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said this, looked at the prisoners of war and said, "What did Lantian tell you when you came?" ”

The prisoner of war trembled and lowered his head at this time and said, "They said that whether I can survive this trip depends on creation." ”

Zhang Xianzhong sneered when he heard this: "Little family angry, really when I Zhang Xianzhong is the killer demon king, my brother was captured for me, is there anything wrong, come here, arrange a meal for him, and give him five taels of silver, and then help me run to the copper coin pass in a while." ”

After saying that, Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand, and the prisoner of war was taken down, Sun Kewang looked at Zhang Xianzhong and said, "Father-in-law, do you really want to pay for ransom?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Otherwise, we are now short of people, the third and fourth are rare generals, and they are still my righteous sons, how can I sit idly by, this person must be redeemed." ”

"And it's not just that I want to redeem it, I'm also going to make some deals with Lantian."

"Doing business?"

Sun Kewang looked at Zhang Xianzhong with a surprised expression, Zhang Xianzhong smiled at this time: "Yes, we still have a lot of silver in the treasury now, but we usually can't spend this silver, just grab what we need, in this case, it is better to exchange the silver for materials to strengthen us." ”

"What do you mean by the materials that my father-in-law is talking about?"

Sun Kewang looked at Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said: "Grain, cloth, salt, iron, and even firearms." ”

"Firearms? Will Lantian give it to us? ”

Zhang Xianzhong smiled when he heard this: "If you don't ask, who knows, money can sometimes do a lot of things in this world." ”

Sun Kewang nodded as if he didn't understand when he heard the words, or his father-in-law's Taoism was high, and soon a letter was sent back to Tongqian Pass again.

Li Dezhen, Shi Dalei, and Li Chaomeng looked at the prisoners of war kneeling in front of them and said, "Zhang Xianzhong entertained you with good wine and food, and gave you five taels of silver, and then put you back?" ”

The kneeling prisoner of war heard this and nodded, "That's right. ”

"Heh, don't say it, this Zhang Xianzhong is quite righteous."

Li Chaomeng interjected at this time, and followed the prisoner of war and said: "By the way, the king of my family also has a letter for you." ”

Hearing this, several people were stunned, but they didn't expect Zhang Xianzhong to reply to the letter, and then Li Dezhen motioned to the adjutant to take the letter, and followed Li Dezhen and said, "Take him down." ”

Hearing this, the two Lantian soldiers took the prisoners of war down, followed by Li Dezhen and said to the adjutant, "Read it to us." ”

"Yes."

The adjutant should be, and then read as he spoke: "Hello brothers in Lantian, we are all from Lulin Road, the rules are old Zhang understands, we have redeemed people, 100,000 taels of silver, and tomorrow the city will pay the money with one hand and release the people with the other." ”

"Yo, don't say it, this dedication is atmospheric, 100,000 taels of silver will come out."

Shi Dalei laughed when he heard this, and then the adjutant continued: "But this light redemption can earn a few dollars, brother, I have a big deal, 60,000 logistics supplies, grain and cloth, salt and ironware, gunpowder, fire gun business, I don't know if you Lantian dare to take it, if you dare to take it, the price is easy to say, wait for your reply." ”
