"The county is here!"

Li Chaomeng was confronting Liu Zongmin with soldiers and horses, when he heard a shout, the crowd hula dodged, and the next moment a team of people and horses surrounded a person riding a horse.

The person who came looked very young, as rich as jade, dressed in a Confucian robe, riding on a fiery red war horse, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and at this time, he glanced over and saw Liu Zongmin.

A smile appeared on his face and said, "Zong Min, goodbye to Donggouyu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The voice was gentle, falling on Liu Zongmin's ears, very pleasant, and he greeted his little brother to a warm big brother, smiling like a flower.

When Liu Zongmin heard this, he looked at the person who came and arched his hand and said, "I've seen Li Xianzun." ”

Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "Well, I'm very happy that Zong Min can call me a county lord today, but you want to slaughter the people with troops today, which makes me very angry." ”

Li Chaosheng said, Liu Zongmin hugged his fists and said: "County Zun, I am from a grass Kou background, and it is inevitable that things will be blunt, so please don't blame the county respect." ”

Li Chaosheng smiled: "I don't want to blame it, but we are all people but do good deeds, don't ask about the future, we don't have to say more, what did you ask Chaomeng to invite me to?" ”

Li Chaomeng also said at this time: "Yes, Liu Zongmin, what do you want to see our county?" ”

When Liu Zongmin heard this, he jumped off the horse, and then knelt directly on the ground in front of Li Chaosheng, and everyone looked at him in surprise, not understanding what Liu Zongmin's plan was for this behavior.

"Hey, why is this Liu Zongmin kneeling down for the county honor?"

"This doesn't need to be asked, are you scared, there are so many of us, fighting with open fire, holding the latest firearms in our hands, and there are the most advanced artillery hidden in the forest, you are Liu Zongmin, are you not afraid?"

"Yes, I'm afraid, but it's not right, wouldn't it be different if he was afraid to kneel down for General Meng? Why did he have to call the county zun to come out, so he knelt down. ”

"You don't understand this, General Meng is a general, in his opinion, he is equal to his identity, kneeling down a lot, the county is a prince, kneeling for the county, it's not a shame to spread it, after all, how many people want to kneel down for the county, and the county doesn't want it."

"Hey, don't say it, it's quite reasonable for you to say that, if I were Liu Zongmin, I would also kneel to the county respect, and I wouldn't be ashamed."

"Isn't it, let me tell you that this Liu Zongmin is a ghost."

"Uh-huh, that makes sense, makes sense."

……

The Lantian soldiers muttered, and the cavalry under Liu Zongmin were also confused, the boss knelt down so easily, what should they do? Do they kneel or not, and if they don't kneel, do they seem to be ignorant?

But kneeling, why, kneeling down before fighting, this is not in line with the reason that Commander Liu handed over to us, Commander Liu doesn't say, the two armies are fighting, the brave wins, no matter how strong the enemy is, we can't give in easily, we have to raise our swords, even if we die, we have to dig up their two pieces of flesh.

But as soon as these words came out, the person who spoke laughed himself, he was also a fool, and Commander Liu didn't care about this matter, he knelt down, and he still stupidly adhered to the rules handed down by Commander Liu, this is not a fool!

It can be said that Liu Zongmin's kneeling, everyone can't feel Liu Zongmin's pulse, and they all look at Liu Zongmin to see what kind of feelings he wants to express next.

Li Chaomeng frowned at this time and shouted: "Liu Zongmin, the eldest husband is born when he is born, and he is dead when he dies, what is it to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, get up, don't let a certain family look down on you!" ”

Li Chaomeng is really angry, Li Chaomeng has always regarded Liu Zongmin as his opponent of the same level, although hostile, they are all iron-clad men, although they are good and evil, their positions are different, but the bones are hard, but what is Liu Zongmin kneeling?

And Li Chaosheng seemed to understand something at this time, and his eyes gradually became cold, not as cordial as just now

And at this time, I saw Liu Zongmin kneeling on the ground, straightening his waist, looking at Li Chaosheng with blazing eyes, and said: "Li Xianzun, just now they have told me about your great kindness, my mother, younger brother, and sister in Lantian, thanks to the county's life, the county's grace, and the reconstruction, how Liu can repay it is not too much, but now Liu is a general under the command of King Chuang, and he can't do anything unjust to King Chuang. ”

"But the great kindness of the county can't be repaid, so Liu Mou kowtows to the county lord three times here, even if he repays the great kindness of the county lord, if there is still an unrepaid kindness, then Liu can only repay it in the next life."

After that, Liu Zongmin knelt on the ground and kowtowed, once, twice, three times.

This head is very pious, but it provoked Li Chaosheng with a look of anger This bastard actually wants to use these three rings to repay his kindness, this Liu Zongmin is really a good deal, is his ringhead so valuable?

Li Chaosheng thought about it, but he didn't say anything, Liu Zongmin kowtowed three times, jumped up and said: "County Zun, your great kindness and great virtue are difficult to repay in this life, but a certain family can promise you one thing, as a reward, if the county is defeated one day and is arrested by Liu, Liu will definitely do his best to protect the county family from being bullied by others." ”

"You, Liu Zongmin, you deceive people too much, eat Lao Tzu's stick."

Seeing Liu Zongmin so arrogant, Li Chaomeng was furious, and he was ready to give Liu Zongmin a head slap to drink, let him know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, don't be so arrogant, and let the county zun be defeated, do you know how terrifying it is to have a lot of rotten garlic in Lantian, just with a few rotten garlic heads, you dare to plot against my county, I really don't know whether to live or die.

"Mengzi."

Li Chaosheng was suddenly laughed at by Liu Zongmin's words, and stopped Mengzi and said: "Don't be impulsive, Commander Liu is sincere in saying this, and I have to thank Commander Liu, at that time, my family will really rely on Commander Liu to live." ”

Hearing this, Liu Zongmin waved his hand and said: "No need, the county takes care of my family, and I should also repay the favor, all this should be done." ”

"You are arrogant!"

Hearing Liu Zongmin say this, Li Chaolong on the side was angry and shouted angrily, but Liu Zongmin didn't care at all, and still looked like he was doing his own thing.

The angry Li Chaolong hated to tear this wingman alive.

Liu Zongmin got on the horse at this time, looked at Li Chaosheng and arched his hand and said: "Since the county lord is here in person today, Liu can't help but give face, so he withdrew his troops and horses, spare the lives of these 80,000 people, and say goodbye." ”

After Liu Zongmin finished speaking, he turned around and ran, there were many soldiers behind Li Chaosheng who wanted to shoot black guns, if Li Chaosheng hadn't resolutely allowed this kind of behavior, it is estimated that Liu Zongmin would have become a plug long ago.

Liu Zongmin ran out of this area with people, he was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, he was also gambling just now, betting that Li Chaosheng didn't want to kill him, he had three grounds, the first was that Li Chaosheng supported his family, which showed that Li Chaosheng still had expectations for him.

The second is that he saw many soldiers pointing their guns at him, but they controlled it, and some of them even turned their heads away from him, which means that they probably received orders not to shoot at him.

The third is that Liu Zongmin thought about what happened back then, when the battle of Donggouyu was fought, Li Chaosheng could have killed himself, but he didn't do it, why?

This is very strange, and it is also something that Liu Zongmin has been puzzled about all these years, at first he attributed it to Li Chaosheng's love for talent, but over the years, he gradually found that it didn't seem to be a simple love for talent, there seemed to be something he didn't know, but he didn't understand this thing thoroughly enough.

Anyway, Liu Zongmin bet right, but even if he was right, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat at this time, and the guards on the side asked when he saw this: "Commander, how can we explain to King Chuang if we haven't chased the people back!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Zongmin glanced at the man and snorted coldly: "Explain what?" ”

When the man heard this, he said, "Explain why we didn't catch up with those 80,000 people." ”

"Confess, confess a hammer, Lao Tzu can escape from Li Chaosheng's hands, it is already God's grace, King Chuang is crazy and wants to hold me responsible, even if King Chuang is here, how much better can it be?"

Hearing this, the guards stopped talking, and Liu Zongmin pondered for a moment at this time and said: "Okay, inform me, the matter of Lao Tzu's kneeling for Li Chaosheng today is not allowed to be spread, otherwise there will be no forgiveness." ”

"Yes."

Liu Zongmin said, rode back on horseback, reported to Li Zicheng, followed by the cavalry who caught up, and when they came, they were murderous, and when they went back, they hung their heads.

After more than an hour, Liu Zongmin rushed back to Xin'an County, and now Xin'an County has become Li Zicheng's temporary military camp, the soldiers live in the city, and the whole city has entered the stage of military management.

As soon as Liu Zongmin entered the city, he met Li Shichao, who was patrolling with troops, and Li Shichao smiled: "Brother Liu, how is it, did you catch up with that group of people?" ”

Liu Zongmin smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It's hard to say, Brother Li, what about King Chuang?" ”

When Li Shichao heard this, he knew that Liu Zongmin had not chased this group of people, and at this time he put his heart in his stomach, and he blocked Liu Zongmin here and also wanted to hear the news.

"Oh, King Chuang is in the Yafu of Xin'an County, talking to several military divisions, King Chuang said Brother Liu, you come back, you don't need to ask for instructions, you can go directly to see it."

Liu Zongmin heard this: "Okay, I just have something important to tell King Chuang." ”

Saying that, Liu Zongmin rushed to the county office.

At this time, in the county office, Li Chaolong was discussing the next military plan with the three military advisors, Sun Chuanting ran away with the people of Xin'an County, no matter what the purpose, he Sun Chuanting was a defeat, the Qin army had been disabled, and they no longer had the strength to compete with Li Zicheng. ”

In this way, there is only one scattered major army leader left in Henan, led by He Renlong, followed by Zuo Liangyu, who unanimously said that there is no big deal with these two people, and Sun Chuanting, the hardest bone in Henan, has gnawed off, and the rest of the people are scum.

The soldiers under these people are sloppy one by one, and there is no elite of Sun Chuanting's Qin army at all, and they can only be regarded as a rabble in comparison, and although the subordinates of King Chuang are also rabble, there are many people in King Chuang, and in the case that the opponent's military strength is similar to his own, King Chuang will win.

And now the only thing that needs to be confirmed is Sun Chuanting's movements, if Sun Chuanting can be captured alive by Liu Zongmin, it will be that God will take care of him to break into the army.

If you can't, it doesn't matter, a defeated Sun Chuanting doesn't have so much strength, especially when more than half of his Qin army was killed and wounded, and the army is not united, this matter is even more fine.

That is to say, the next time will be the fastest time for them to break into the army, take the whole territory of Henan, enter Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, retreat can attack Jiangnan, as for Hubei, forget it, it is Lantian's own land, Li Chaolong is not arrogant enough to feel that he can grab food in Lantian's mouth.

And even if he grabbed food, it would be after he traveled to the four provinces and tossed out an army of millions.

Now Li Zicheng is still very low-key, and when a few people were discussing military strategy, someone outside the door came to report that Liu Zongmin was back.

When Li Zicheng heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Please." ”

Soon Liu Zongmin entered the meeting hall and said to Li Zicheng: "King Chuang." ”

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Fortunately, Brother Zongmin, how can you catch Sun Chuanting's dog thief?" ”

Liu Zongmin shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Did you inflict heavy losses on the fleeing Qin army?"

"Not either."

"The people have finally caught up, how many have been caught?"

"None of them were caught."

Hearing this, Li Zicheng frowned, and said with a dark face: "Brother Zongmin, don't you want to joke with me, what's going on?" ”

Liu Zongmin heard this and looked at Li Zicheng and said: "King Chuang, I won't tell you, we caught up with the people, but we couldn't kill them, they were all protected by the Lantian army, and for the 80,000 people, Lantian dispatched two firepower divisions, and Li Chaosheng came in person." ”

"What?!"

Li Zicheng looked at Liu Zongmin with a surprised face: "What did you say?" Who's coming? ”

Liu Zongmin looked at Li Zicheng at this time and said, "Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng is here in person." ”

Hearing this, Li Zicheng's expression became solemn, Li Chaosheng came, and he was in Michi?

Turning his head, Li Zicheng looked at the three military divisions, at this time the three military divisions frowned, and Song Xiance said: "King Chuang, this is not unusual, the outside world says that Sun Chuanting's Qin army was funded by Li Chaosheng, that is to say, in fact, Sun Chuanting has not been a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, but Lantian's, and now that the Qin army is surrounded, Lantian is in a hurry, and it is normal to come to answer." ”

Li Xin thought for a while and said: "What Brother Song said is true, this Sun Chuanting's Qin army is outrageously well-equipped, many of them are purchased directly from Lantian, if there is no Li Chaosheng to support it, how can he Sun Chuanting get so many weapons and equipment, this time King Chuang has cleaned up the Qin army, and naturally Lantian will come to respond." ”

Niu Jinxing also nodded and said, "General Liu, can you have a conflict with Lantian?" ”

Liu Zongmin said: "No. ”

Niu Jinxing said: "Then obviously, Lantian doesn't want to meddle in Henan's affairs, King Chuang doesn't have to worry about him, Lantian has always liked to drive tigers and wolves, before we succeed, Lantian will not meet with our soldiers, King Chuang can plot the soldiers of the south." ”

"Ignore him?"

Li Zicheng muttered, but his expression suddenly changed: "No, arrange it, I want to meet Li Chaosheng, the lord of the Blue Field!" ”
