Zuo Liangyu has his own little abacus, so he quickly replied to Xiong Wencan, the content is very simple: Love can't help, Xiong Gong can figure it out by himself.

After Xiong Wencan got Zuo Liangyu's answer, the whole person was angry, and scolded Zuo Liangyu for being a shameless and treacherous person, looking at that look, he wanted to eat Zuo Liangyu alive, but now he is helpless, the governor of Huguang can't control the general army of Tongguan, so he can only swear hatefully that if Xiong Mou escapes this difficulty, he will not rest with you, a thief, in the future.

Xiong Wencan had a closed door here in Zuo Liangyu, and could only put all his hopes on He Renlong, after all, He Renlong is known for his courage and good fighting, and the rivers and lakes call him a madman.

This is a real knife that licks blood on the head, and kills it with one knife and one shot, which is completely different from him, the governor who picks up leaks.

So Xiong Wencan bet on He Renlong, hoping that this He madman could give him a small surprise, with the support of Xiong Wencan, a large number of grain and grass baggage, all of which were delivered to He Renlong in full, He Renlong was a soldier with enough food and high morale, and boasted to Xiong Wencan that he went down to Haikou, and a month later, he mentioned Zhang Xianzhong's head to meet.

Hubei, on the periphery of a primeval forest, Zhang Xianzhong looked at Sun Kewang, who had an earthy face, and said: "Let the brothers rest nearby, don't go deeper inside, it's not good if this big forest is lost in it." ”

"Yes."

Sun Kewang responded, and at this time, in the distance, Ai Nengqi slowly walked over with a rabbit in his hand, and said when he got closer: "Father-in-law, the rabbits here are fat enough, I hit one, just to improve your food." ”

Zhang Xianzhong smiled when he heard this: "Okay, peel the skin and bake it to eat together." ”

After hearing the words, Ai Nengqi stretched out his hand and asked his own soldiers to go down to clean up the rabbit, and he sat in front of Zhang Xianzhong and looked at Zhang Xianzhong and said: "Father-in-law, how long do we have to stay in this old forest, our brothers are all going crazy, isn't it just a He Renlong, no, father-in-law, I will lead the soldiers out to kill for a while, so that this guy can know how powerful we are." ”

Zhang Xianzhong shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Don't worry, you are a father-in-law, have I stayed in Gucheng all these years and done nothing?" Father-in-law, I have seriously watched the art of war several times, and I have studied it for two years, and my father-in-law summed it up in the past two years, that is, we used to fight a little too brainlessly, and to fight is to rush and fight, which is not right, the art of war has clouds, virtual and real, real and virtual, fighting, we must use more brains and use more flowers. ”

Hearing this, Ai Nengqi said with a puzzled face: "Is it so complicated? Isn't fighting a war just two armies slashing each other with knives? Whoever has more people and no one wants to die will be victorious? My eldest brother once told me that the brave wins when the two armies fight! ”

Zhang Xianzhong sighed after listening to Ai Nengqi's words, and he didn't want to deal with Ai Nengqi, this guy is too stupid, it's not worth bothering to tell him what is called the art of war, just tell him how to fight, how to charge, this guy is a pioneer officer who is not afraid of death for the rest of his life.

Soon Sun Kewang came back, Liu Wenxiu also sorted out the army and came to Zhang Xianzhong, the three of them surrounded Zhang Xianzhong in the middle, Zhang Xianzhong looked at the three of them, and raised a fire in the middle and said, "Where is Luo Rucai?" ”

Hearing this, Sun Kewang said: "Back to my father-in-law, Luo Rucai said that he could arrive in Fang County in three days. ”

"Fang County?"

Zhang Xianzhong took out a military map from his arms and looked at it and said: "It's not very far from us, just right, you send someone to inform Luo Rucai, and we will meet in Fang County." ”

Hearing this, Sun Kewang got up, and soon Zhang Xianzhong had scouts here to run out to convey the military situation.

Zhang Xianzhong took the map at this time and said: "Fang County, Fang County, okay, this is a treasure land of feng shui, and it is just right to make a cemetery for He Renlong." ”

Hearing this, Ainengqi said, "Father-in-law, do you mean to fight He Renlong here?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "That's right, after chasing us all the way, it's time to let him know that we are not easy to mess with." ”

Seeing Zhang Xianzhong's ambitious appearance, Ai Nengqi and Liu Wenxiu are also full of strength, the father-in-law said yes, he must do it, especially the father-in-law who is not lustful and does the right thing.

Three days later, Fang County.

Zhang Xianzhong hugged Luo Rucai, who was dressed in military uniform, and Luo Rucai also opened his mouth and said: "Eight kings, our brothers have finally met, but I want to die of brothers all these years." ”

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Luo Rucai when he heard this: "I heard that it has been very moisturizing over the years, how about it, how many people have you brought this time." ”

Luo Rucai smiled and said: "What is not moisturized, this time we have brought all the 8,000 people in the family, all under the command of the eight kings." ”

Zhang Xianzhong grinned when he heard this: "Okay, 8,000 people, a lot, and said that your kid didn't make a fortune." ”

After saying this, Luo Rucai said: "That's not comparable to the eight kings, it is said that there are already 20,000 people in the hands of the king now?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Not much, not much, 22,000 people, all of them are young and strong, and their combat effectiveness is not bad." ”

"Hahaha, good, good, with our 30,000 people, why worry about big things."

Luo Rucai laughed, Zhang Xianzhong held Luo Rucai at this time and said: "Listen, brothers, this is our brother, and he will be our deputy commander in the future, and his position is only below me." ”

When Luo Rucai heard this, he also raised his hand and said: "Brothers, the eight kings treat us well, and we are willing to serve the eight kings." ”

After listening to Luo Rucai's words, everyone shouted in unison: "Eight kings, eight kings, eight kings." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said: "In the future, they will all be brothers, and I don't dare to say anything else with Zhang, if there is a bite for me and a mouthful for Zhang, there will be a mouthful for all brothers." ”

"Oh, oh!"

Hearing this, a group of people raised their hands and shouted, and the scene was extremely enthusiastic.

Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, the two prominent Daliu Kou united, the power suddenly increased, that night, the two armies were reintegrated, Zhang Xianzhong held a grand welcome ceremony for Luo Rucai in Fang County.

At the welcome ceremony, the two pushed the cup and changed the lamp, chatted about the past over the years, and talked about the happy place, naturally laughing heartily, chatting about the sad place, Zhang Xianzhong also showed the open-mindedness of the past to go with him.

Luo Rucai looked at Zhang Xianzhong and said, "Eight kings, what are we going to do next?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong heard this: "First of all, of course, it is to get He Renlong's pursuers, this sticky guy has chased Lao Tzu all the way, Lao Tzu must let him look good." ”

Hearing this, Luo Rucai groaned slightly: "Eight kings, He Renlong is not worried, but are the eight kings ready to develop in Hubei all the time?" ”

As soon as Zhang Xianzhong heard that Luo Rucai was about to discuss the future direction of the team's development with him, he smiled and said, "What does Brother Luo think?" ”

Luo Rucai said: "Eight kings, I don't think Hubei is a place to stay for a long time. ”

"How so? Do you think I can't deal with these incompetent Ming officers and soldiers? ”

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Luo Rucai, Luo Rucai said: "King, if it is just these incompetent officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, I won't say anything, the most important thing here is not the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but Lantian, Lantian has been recuperating for so many years, seeing the great changes in the world, he must not sit idly by, and he does not want to clash with the Ming Dynasty head-on, so Henan, Hebei and Shandong in the east, Lantian will not be easily attacked, and Hubei is far from the northwest border, and the Ming Dynasty is beyond the reach of the whip, and these places are what Lantian loves. ”

"If the Eight Kings have been active in Hubei, with Hubei as the base, they will have to face Lantian sooner or later, and with our current strength, against Lantian, I'm afraid we will lose very badly, so the Eight Kings, I don't recommend that we use Hubei as a base."

When Zhang Xianzhong heard this, he looked at Luo Rucai and said, "Go on, if you have any ideas, say them at once." ”

Luo Rucai heard this and said: "Eight kings, I think we should unite with King Li Chuang of Shanxi, everyone is an old brother, and the strength is great, even if Lantian wants to move us, we have to weigh it, what does the king think?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong listened to Luo Rucai's words and did not express his position directly, but took a sip of the wine glass in front of him and said: "What Brother Luo said is very reasonable, if I join forces with King Li Chuang, I can naturally be stronger, but there is a small problem here, Brother Luo can solve it, I am naturally willing to join forces with King Li Chuang's soldiers and fight a family." ”

"Oh, the Eight Kings, please instruct, as long as I can share the worries of the Eight Kings, I will never give up."

"Okay, okay, Brother Luo is really the most righteous person in my righteous army, then I'll ask my brother to answer me a small question, if I join forces with King Li Chuang, who will be the main and who will be the deputy?"

"Huh?!"

Hearing this, Luo Rucai's eyes widened, this question is difficult to answer, if you don't make a good fuss, you will lose your head, who is the main and who is the deputy, this is indeed a big question, there is a way that one mountain does not allow two tigers, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong are all tigers down the mountain, it is even more difficult for you to let the two of them submit to each other than to kill them.

And there are also many contradictions between the two people, not to mention far away, just take the last time, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng jointly attacked Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown AH Fengyang, after the fight, the two could have joined forces to continue to expand the results of the battle, but at this time the two fought, the reason was to rob Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral tomb Huangjue Temple left a dry ritual and eunuch.

At that moment, the two parted ways, and there are not a few such things, the contradiction between the two is even deeper than the contradiction between them and the Ming Dynasty, and it is difficult to unite them.

And the strategic goals of the two themselves are not the same, Zhang Xianzhong is a heart to enter Sichuan, to be his king of Shuzhong, and Li Zicheng is a heart of the world, a heart to hit BJ, pull Chongzhen Lao'er off the throne and ask: Why did your mother lay off employees back then, Lao Tzu was a good courier, if you didn't lay off employees, would Lao Tzu rebel? I'll ask you, if you don't regret it now.

To be honest, Li Zicheng's feelings for Chongzhen are quite complicated, he is actually not so eager to Chongzhen to die, and even in the later period, he has the idea of reconciliation with Chongzhen, the most straightforward of which is that when Li Zicheng was about to hit BJ City, he once wanted Chongzhen to make him king, he and Chongzhen each managed their own territory, and in order to show sincerity, Li Zicheng even put forward a condition that if Chongzhen was willing to crown him the king of the northwest, he could lead his troops to help the Ming Dynasty fight Jiannu.

Of course, Li Zicheng has other political goals in doing this, but in general, Li Zicheng is not the kind of impatient to kill Chongzhen, but his ultimate goal is definitely to replace Chongzhen.

So one wants to be in a corner of peace, and the other wants to capture the capital, these two people can't play together, not to mention that both of them are momentary heroes, and in addition to fighting when they meet each other, they are fighting, so if they want to join forces, it is no less difficult than letting Chongzhen and Li Chaosheng join forces, and the possibility is very small.

Luo Rucai was asked by Zhang Xianzhong, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only drink awkwardly, and then Zhang Xianzhong said: "Brother Luo is actually right, Hubei is not a place to stay for a long time, so my target is Sichuan." ”

"Sichuan!"

Luo Rucai was a little surprised, Zhang Xianzhong said: "That's right, Sichuan, the country of abundance, can be attacked, retreated can be defended, as long as we occupy Sichuan, with the difficulty of Shu Road, whether it is the Ming Dynasty, or Lantian, it is even more difficult to attack Sichuan, and as long as we hold the pass of Sichuan, we can retreat in Sichuan and establish ourselves as kings, and we can look down on the world, this is the foundation of the real hegemony, the foundation of God." ”

Luo Rucai frowned slightly when he heard this: "There is Qin Liangyu in Shu." ”

"Hehehe, it's just an old woman, how long can she live, as long as we want to beat her, even if we use people, we can pile her to death."

Zhang Xianzhong said disdainfully, Luo Rucai heard this and muttered for a moment and said: "What the Eight Kings said is that in this way, we will aim at Shuzhong, and our subordinates will go to the soup for the Eight Kings. ”

"Hahaha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say."

The two of them are unified in their thoughts, and the next thing to do is to deal with He Renlong.

Luo Rucai said to Zhang Xianzhong: "Eight kings, how should we deal with He Renlong?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong smiled slightly and said: "He Renlong, this person is brave, I really didn't say, in northern Shaanxi, I once fought with him, and I still know a little about him, this person fights bravely, often takes the lead, and he is completely desperate to fight, so he is called a madman, so to deal with this person, you can't use force, you should win by strategy." ”

"Scheme?"

When Luo Rucai heard this, he arched his hand and said, "Please make it clear to the king." ”

Luo Rucai said with a smile: "In the past few years, I have often read military books, and military books say that the enemy is weak and lures the enemy to go deeper. ”

"What do you mean?"

Luo Rucai was puzzled, Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile: "Tan Ma Lai report, He Renlong's army has approached the vicinity of Fang County, tomorrow Brother Luo, you can lead troops to challenge, but remember, you can only be defeated." ”

"Can only be defeated, but not defeated?"

Luo Rucai looked puzzled, Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said: "You can just act according to the plan, and the rest of the king has his own clever plan." ”

"Yes."

Luo Rucai got up and drank a glass of wine as he spoke, and said, "I won't drink too much from my humble position, go down and prepare." ”

Zhang Xianzhong smiled and nodded, and after Luo Rucai left, Zhang Xianzhong took out a book with four big characters on it, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
