Chapter 52: Into the Tiger's Den
"In our battalion, there is indeed a 'breaking general' Li Zicheng, who was born in the border army, fought bravely, and was loyal. I have never heard that he is still carrying this human life. ”
"But the name Li Zicheng is really ordinary, in case General He has a bad memory, or if the two have the same name, it's hard to say?"
Hong Chengchou saw that Zhao Sheng was still stiff-mouthed, and smiled slightly.
"It's okay, don't go into the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger? I will enter your camp with the He garrison, and I will meet that Li Zicheng for a while. ”
Zhao Sheng's face was calm, and his mouth was secretly bitter.
Before, Zhao Sheng and Li Zicheng were under the command of King Tota, but King Tota accepted the appeasement several times, which made them disdain and took the initiative to leave.
Now Li Zicheng is already the right-hand man of Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, and Gao Yingxiang is a horse dealer, and he has many Han elite riders under his command, and his strength is the strongest.
In case of a falling out with Gao Yingxiang because of this, then the division of the righteous army is small, and the failure of the strategy of breaking up and escaping from the encirclement planned by Wang Jiayin, the "King of Chaos", may bring real disaster to the righteous army.
Zhao Sheng hadn't picked up yet, but he only heard Chen Qiyu agree, "What a good tiger, Yan Yan, you are really bold." In this case, you and He Shoubei will take my personal soldiers and the sword of Shang Fang given by the imperial court to find out. ”
Let's talk about it, look at Zhao Sheng with my eyes.
Zhao Sheng couldn't, knowing that this matter could no longer be perfunctory, so he had to lead Hong Chengchou, He Renlong and his party to Wang Jiayin's camp together.
Along the way, Hong Chengchou was one foot deep and one foot shallow, observing the situation of the peasant army.
said that it was a peasant army, but in fact, there were all kinds of clothes inside.
There are people wearing shabby military uniforms in the northwest, and they are also holding standard weapons in their hands, and they can't be found when they mix in the Ming army.
There are also people dressed up in alien races, bending bows and horses, and even fanding with Jurchen pigtails. This is after Nurhachi unified Liaodong, some other disobedient Jurchens surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty threw them into other border towns like garbage.
Of course, the most important thing is the homeless people who are still surviving.
The young man can still have a thick robe to protect him from the wind and rain, and more of them are unclothed, skinny, and don't even have a weapon.
Through these vigilant, hostile and fearful gazes, Zhao Sheng led them to Wang Jiayin.
"The chief is in charge, these are the adults of the imperial court, who are here to recruit An."
At this time, the rebel army led by Wang Jiayin was numbered 36 battalions, and each battalion was a relatively independent force.
Wang Jiayin is the general manager, Cao Cao, Ge Liyan, Chuang Wang and others are the old bosses, and there are naturally captains and small bosses below, and so on.
All I heard was a loud "Hello! ”
"Mixed Heavenly King" Wang Jiayin greeted him, he is a big man with a high figure and a bold voice.
raised his big fan-like hand and slapped it on Hong Chengchou's shoulder, "Lord Qincha, we are thinking about Zhao'an!" I have many brothers, as long as the salary is enough, they all have to go back to Suide and Ningxia to work on errands. ”
Hong Chengchou was not impressed by Wang Jiayin's enthusiasm, and explained his intention directly.
Wang Jiayin was stunned for a moment, and his face gradually sank.
Hong Chengchou raised his eyebrows, "This Li Zicheng has done a lot of evil, and he should have been punished a long time ago." Could it be that the King of Chaos has any difficulty in cleaning up the portal? ”
Eyes met with Zhao Sheng, Wang Jiayin waved his hand and said, "Of course not, everything is focused on Zhao'an." ”
"Light the lamp, take us to the camp of King Chuang, and see what he has to say!"
Along the way, Wang Jiayin found an opportunity and chatted with Zhao Sheng in a low voice.
"What is the origin of this barbarian, he deliberately wants to find Li Zicheng's bad luck. Could it be that we have already leaked the rumors? ”
Zhao Sheng was also helpless, "I don't think so." ”
"This bird official should be a murderous man, and he doesn't want the bird governor to appease us. After all, King Tota had already fallen, but he still died at his hands. ”
"King of Chaos, it's better for us to be patient for now. I can't say it, I can only refute the face of King Chuang, and use that life to change the way out for my brothers. ”
"Understood, I have my own opinions."
Wang Jiayin nodded quietly, and took Hong Chengchou and He Renlong around with him.
What is the star, the mud, the sweeping king, all kinds of demons and monsters, all hugging over to the Lord Qincha.
Hong Chengchou was able to cope with it at first, but then he really couldn't take it.
The group of people, more and more, is like a strange tour group.
"Bastard Heavenly King, do you want to entertain your own officials? Where is the king of Chuang, is it possible that he has not yet arrived at the place? ”
Seeing that Hong Chengchou was slightly stunned, Wang Jiayin immediately smiled, "How dare you, Lord Qincha, don't you see this is here." ”
There was already a pawn shouting beside him, "The King of Chaos, please come out and talk back!" ”
After a while, King Chuang Gao Yingxiang came out with a calm face, "King Chaotian, if you want to recruit An, you will go and kowtow to the old men of the court." What do you want me to do? ”
Wang Jiayin chuckled, "King Chuang, I want to recruit An, and I need to borrow something from you." ”
Gao Yingxiang knew that something was wrong, but still asked, "What do you want to borrow?" ”
"Borrow the head of your nephew's 'breaking general' Li Zicheng."
Gao Yingxiang said angrily, "What kind of idea is this! If I can give you my own nephew, how can I control these little masters! ”
As soon as these words came out, Gao Yingxiang's personal soldiers around Fan Han immediately pulled out their blades and faced Wang Jiayin's personal swords.
Wang Jiayin clapped his hands, "King Chuang, who are these people?" ”
Guo Tianxing and the King of Sweeping Ground appeared, and said blatantly, "King Chuang, your camp has long been secretly surrounded by us, so get acquainted and hand over your nephew as soon as possible!" ”
Wang Jiayin glanced at Hong Chengchou and signaled that he was not delaying before, but his own arrangement.
Gao Yingxiang's face sank like water, "King of Chaos, you are falling for the trick of the official army!" Even if I get Li out of the deal, they will make it difficult for you and instigate us to kill each other, so that they can teach us to sweep us away! ”
Wang Jiayin sneered, "Then you don't have to bother." Let's talk about the things now, and then you let the people out. ”
"I will never..." Before Gao Yingxiang's words fell, someone next to him had already interrupted his words by holding the steel knife to his neck.
"King Chuang, brothers accompany you to earn a living, not to accompany you to death. Hand that kid over sooner and it won't be in vain for us to have a friendship. ”
"Scorpion block! I misjudged you, I didn't expect you to be more poisonous than a scorpion. ”
Wang Jiayin, who was on the side, couldn't hold it back, and commanded everyone to step forward together and tie up Gao Yingxiang and other personal soldiers.
and asked Zhao Sheng, the "lighter lamp", to enter the camp and bring Li Zicheng out.
After a while, Zhao Sheng and several big men came out with a bound person and fell to the ground.
"King of Chaos, Lord Hong, this is Li Zicheng!"
