Chapter 40: Breaking into the Heavens, the Eight Kings, and Cao Cao

The outsiders of the courtyard are the old thieves who broke into the sky, and they are also the old thieves who exposed the rod with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. After the artesian thief broke through the Yellow River in the sixth year of Chongzhen, he has been circulating in Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang and other places.

A few months ago, he was originally with Li Zicheng, Scorpion Block and other thieves leaders Congxun, Xiang to Xing'an, and Hanzhong, but later met Hong Chengchou, the governor of the six provinces, who was ordered to crusade, and was tired of running for his life, so he could only turn to the war and go south to Jing and Xiang to continue fighting.

Unexpectedly, on the way, he met Lao Hui Hui Zheng and Shizhu Xuanfu Qin Liangyu's general soldier Qin Yiming fought in Shangzhou, and united the thieves to break the plan of the official army to encircle the mountain and suppress it, and then, wanting to attack Xiangyang, encountered the defender Chen Yongfu struggling to resist and retreat, and then received the news of Lao Huihui's victory, so he went south to converge.

Although Zuo Liangyu swallowed a big defeat at a critical juncture, as more and more officials and military figures led troops into a battlefield, the environment in the entire Henan Province was still tense.

There are also a lot of capable fighters under the collapse of the sky, and there are five or six large battalions of soldiers who have escaped death in large and small wars, about more than 20,000 living combat power, and when the army is defeated, it is also the time to choose a place to stay.

Breaking into the sky, his name is Liu Guoneng, he looks five big and three thick, his eyebrows are just born, if he is not wearing the clothes of a thief, he does not look like a traitor and a villain, and he has a bit of the taste of a good man in Liangshan.

He walked into the courtyard, saw Yang Kai, looked up and down, and asked, "This is the wizard you are talking about?" ”

"Yes, just tell me, is there anything wrong with what Lao Tzu said yesterday?"

Yesterday afternoon, when he summoned the order, Yang Kai happened to be not in the city, and he wanted to change to someone else, and he missed such an opportunity to show his face in front of the big boss, and he regretted it at that time, and he was worried that the head of the staff would blame himself for not giving face.

But Yang Kai was obviously different, he didn't regret not seeing the collapse of the sky, let alone being blamed by Lao Huihui, on the contrary, his actions were quite appreciated by Lao Huihui, and he missed a time not to worry, and also created a chance for him to meet alone.

Yang Kai probably guessed the meaning of Lao Huihui, and in surprise, he bowed his hand slightly and said, "The little pioneer of the former battalion of the small new formation has seen the plate of the Collapse of the Sky." ”

After looking Yang Kai up and down, he walked around him again, until the end, he still didn't look at his old brother at a glance, but stared at Yang Kai directly, looking at it and saying in amazement:

"Well~ That's right, he has a handsome face, and he is indeed a talent. Little brother, let me ask you, would you like to enter my camp and be the mastermind of my camp?! He can give you what he can give back to the old man, and I will give you twice as much. ”

"This ...... What kind of joke is this palm plate talking about?! Yang Kai, who never thought that he would become a fragrant glutton, was a little dazed in his head.

Before the words fell, Yang Kai looked at the old Hui who was standing on the side. The old man who was digging the foot of the wall in front of him couldn't see any change in expression on his face, he just walked a few steps forward, and then jumped up, tightly clamping the neck of the lord to break into the sky, seeing that he was about to scuffle like a child, Yang Kai was a little dumbfounded.

"Get your mother's old horse ......"

The two big men who were hundreds of years old together were scuffling together like this, and Yang Kai was secretly glad that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

This scene did not last long, and the two quickly "released their suspicions". Lao Huihui let go of the neck of the collapsed sky, tidied up his clothes a few times, and returned to the deep and cold appearance of the past, but in his mouth, he didn't forget to look at the collapsed sky and scolded:

"you! Are you doing that? In front of Lao Tzu, you really dare to dig up Lao Tzu. ”

During this period of time, with the end of Lao Huihui's temptation for Yang Kai, the trust he had established in Yang Kai earlier had gradually consolidated, "no suspicion in employing people, no suspicion in doubt", he has never been stingy with his own people.

Moreover, Yang Kai's performance during this period of time was also seen in his eyes, which obviously reflected his ability, and he would not hesitate to promote his subordinates who were capable and trustworthy.

This time, let Yang Kai come over and meet with Chuang Tiantian, firstly, he wanted to mix familiar faces and get acquainted with each other.

After all, not everyone can accept the ideas he said. As the coordinator, Lao Huihui naturally thinks about more things, and the same is true for the idea of the big army in charge of breaking through the sky. Yang Kai was able to persuade Lao Hui to return to a person, but it didn't mean that he could convince the other ways to take charge of the plate.

It is better to let the Collapse Sky suppress Yang Kai's self-confidence a little, and let him be mentally prepared for the implementation in advance At this time, there must be a lot of difficulties in psychological preparation, in general, it can be seen that Lao Hui has good intentions.

Of course, Yang Kai also knew that there was a lot of suffering, when King Chuang was still there, it was difficult for all the thieves to work together, and now that Gao Yingxiang was gone, the group of thieves would be like tigers out of prison, where could they be easily subdued? So he just said this, and he didn't rush to give Lao Hui a plan to implement, because he still needed an opportunity.

Words are difficult to convince the public, love and righteousness are difficult to compare with life and death, and hatred is the most outrageous. Xiaozhi is emotional, and he is reasonable, it is difficult to stab his wife with a knife.

After breaking through the sky to tidy up his clothes, he still looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and looked at the old man with a grin and said with a smile:

"Don't say that Lao Tzu is holding his fart, it is enough for you to have the old mastermind when you go back to the camp, and the rest of these little masterminds should be distributed to us leaders.

Doing this early enough would not have allowed us to go up and down the battlefield, all of them were smeared, where to fight, but how to fight, how to escape after the fight, I don't know at all, it's really fucking embarrassing. ”

Lao Hui took a long time, stroked his sleeves, gave him a white look and said: "That's not because you lack a mastermind, but because we lack a place where we can really stand, so we were defeated and don't know where to go, this is the second question that Lao Tzu told you yesterday, do you remember?" ”

"Remember to remember ......"

After a small episode, Lao Hui led the Collapse Heaven into the hall to speak, and then ordered Yang Kai to sit down in the hall with him.

In his heart, Lao Hui has always had the idea of establishing a base area, but the long-term combat has been uncertain, his life is unstable, and he has been hovering between life and death every day, and he has been able to delay until now.

Although Yang Kai sat with these two leaders, he rarely spoke, just listened and thought more, and learned more about their current situation and the layout of the Ming court's officials and troops in Henan.

After a short time, there were summoners and soldiers outside the official office to report, and the eight kings and Cao Cao outside the city also came.

The eight kings are Zhang Xianzhong, and Cao Cao is called Luo Rucai, and they have been active in the eastern part of Henan and the area of Nanzhili, and they have always kept in touch with Lao Huihui and others.

When they received the heroic order of the old return, they were turning from eastern Henan to central Henan, wanting to go down to Xuzhou as soon as possible, and then planned to continue to fight in the north and south.

With the fame of the two of them, after entering the city, of course, they received the first-level treatment, and the pro-soldiers who followed into the city were quickly arranged to live in the city, and Lao Huihui also brought Yang Kai, Chuang Collapse and others to meet in person.

It's just that, after a brief understanding, they also learned from these two leaders that the other party brought more than tens of thousands of troops, and there was also a news that made the thieves indignant.

- Gao Yingxiang was about to be executed by Ling Chi.
