Although there were some unpleasant "small frictions" between the army and Wang Xueli's department, it was still solved under Li Yan's miraculous archery skills, and Wang Xueli also believed what Li Yan said, after all, how could Li Yan be killed if he was really a soldier?

Li Zicheng also learned about the unpleasantness of that day, and he knew very well what was going on, so he called Liu Zongmin to beat him again, and at the same time deprived him of his military power.

In fact, it is completely reasonable to make such a mistake that almost leads to the failure of the plan to break into the army, not to mention directly killing the head, but it is completely reasonable to be dismissed as an ordinary soldier, but Li Zicheng still thinks of brotherhood after all, and he may not be merciful to outsiders like Li Yan and Gu Junen, but he is always "affectionate" to the old brothers who came out of Shaanxi.

In order to completely reassure Wang Xueli, Li Zicheng decided to express his full sincerity to Wang Xueli first, so on the third day after Liu Zongmin attacked Wang Xueli, Li Zicheng ordered Li Jin to personally lead the team and go to Wang Xueli's military camp with two carts of gold, silver and jewelry.

Li Jin's arrival was beyond Li Yan's expectations, and Wang Xueli was also very surprised, especially after seeing the advance payment for the two cars, Wang Xueli was even more overjoyed.

For Li Zicheng's nephew, Wang Xueli did not have the intention of threatening Li Yanshi's swords, guns, swords, and halberds at the beginning, but personally removed the armor and welcomed the suburbs.

Li Jin didn't hold a stand, he himself was a person with an introverted personality and a general understanding, and he was one of the few characters who could think with his brain among the reckless men who broke into the camp.

Seeing Wang Xueli's suburbs, Li Jin also immediately dismounted and went to see the ceremony on foot, the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and there were endless words between the generals and the generals, basically praising each other's bravery, praising each other as the current Han Xin......

"I don't blush." Li Yan listened to the two blowing rainbow farts to each other, and he couldn't help but slander in his heart.

After welcoming Li Jin into the barracks, Li Jin and Wang Xueli gathered all the soldiers, and then poured out all the two carts of treasures.

"Under the order of the king, pay the military salary for all the heroes! The treasures here belong to you! Li Jin stood on the temporary high platform and said loudly.

This is Li Jin's cleverness, if Wang Xueli is allowed to send it, maybe the soldiers will remember Wang Xueli's kindness, if he represents Li Zicheng, it will be Li Zicheng's favor.

When the soldiers saw the yellow and white things, they were no longer calm, and they cheered excitedly: "Long live King Chuang!" Long live the king! ”

Wang Xueli's face was not very good-looking at the moment, he seemed to realize that he was put on a position by Li Zicheng, but Li Jin walked down with a smile and grabbed Wang Xueli's hand, and said sincerely: "We are all from Shaanxi, we are all fellow villagers, King Chuang is the closest to his own brothers, and he will always follow my family to King Chuang, and the blessings and misfortunes will inevitably be shared in the future!" ”

Looking at Li Jin's sincere eyes, there seemed to be a convincing magic, and the unhappiness in Wang Xueli's heart disappeared, and he soon laughed, patted Li Jin's arm and said, "Then I will rely on General Li to take care of me in the future." ”

Hahaha, the two laughed together, and even held hands and began to talk about the situation in their respective hometowns, they are both from Shaanxi, there is no obstacle to communication, and they also have a common topic, but Li Yan, a Sichuan person, has become an outsider.

The two sides soon held a banquet, after all, it was a military salary, morale was quite high, and Wang Xueli also took out all the good things at the banquet, delicious wine and food, and slaughtered two sheep for the first time, even if it was a few pieces of mutton that ordinary soldiers could share, the whole atmosphere was happy.

Wang Xueli even took off his shirt, revealing a sword scar, jumped to the center of the military tent, and danced a few swords for everyone in front of Li Jin and others.

Li Yan sat next to Li Jin, he didn't drink much, he still kept his mind clear, seeing the excitement of Wang Xueli's sword dance, he turned his head slightly, and asked Li Jin in a low voice: "How is Mr. Liu?" ”

Everyone is smart and doesn't need much cover-up.

Li Jin had already drunk Hongxia on his cheeks at this moment, but he was still conscious, so he also lowered his voice and said: "I took a shoulder blow, don't get in the way, King Chuang has already cleaned him up, I know that this matter almost hurt you, but General Whistle Liu is a general after all, so you have to be forgiving and forgiving." ”

After speaking, he reached out and patted Li Yan's hand to express his reassurance.

Li Yan heard that the boss was disappointed, Liu Zongmin actually didn't die, but he hated that his accuracy was still a little worse, so he said with resentment: "It's easy to say, this dog day almost killed me!" ”

Li Jin knew that Liu Zongmin was at a loss, so he could only continue to explain: "Didn't you also shoot him with an arrow!" I think this matter is even settled, and now that the war is imminent, let's put these little things aside for a while. ”

Li Yan was silent when he heard this, he was not a person who was boring to himself, but now he could see that these Shaanxi people were in a circle, and although he and Gu Junen were valued by Li Zicheng, they could not integrate into this circle.

It didn't take long for Li Yan to ask, "Have they made a plan?" ”

"Hmm." Li Yan nodded and said: "This time I went down the mountain to completely let Wang Xueli return to his heart, as long as Wang Xueli agrees, we will start acting immediately." ”

"So fast?" Li Yan frowned, according to his thoughts, he should think about it in the long run.

"Yes, Mr. may not know, Wang Wenyao and Liu Rukui have already made contact with us, and when they are highlighted here, they will go to Nanyang round!" Li Jin said in a low voice, his voice could not hide his excitement.

"How many of them are there?" Li Yan asked curiously.

"I was scattered by the dog surnamed Yang before, and many brothers are fighting on their own, and there should still be more than 1,000 people under them, so they can be relied on when they enter Henan." Li Jin said happily, these more than 1,000 people are all old troops who broke into the army, I thought that the whole army had been wiped out, but I didn't expect that they were still guerrilla outside, and this time they also sent people to break through the encirclement of the Ming army and enter the mountains to contact.

Li Yan nodded when he heard this, and said: "If there are 1,000 elites, it will be much easier, the current situation in Henan, I'm afraid it will also be mixed......"

Li Yan hadn't finished speaking, Wang Xueli's sword dance had already finished, and he picked up the wine glass and began to persuade him to drink, Li Jin naturally couldn't help but give Wang Xueli face, so he could only raise the wine glass and continue drinking, Li Yan couldn't continue to tell jokes, so he could only raise the wine glass and laugh and drink.

After the wine was drunk, Wang Xueli was already drunk and carried away, so that Li Yan could talk to Li Jinhaosheng.

It is also Li Jin's amazing amount of wine, except for the fact that his face is a little infrared, there are almost no major problems, and his brain thinking is not affected at all.

"Sir, what's going on on with you?" Li Jin asked people to bring two bowls of soup with vinegar to relieve the hangover for the two.

"Wang Xueli's subordinates are all cavalry from Shaanxi, and their combat effectiveness is still amazing" Li Yan took a sip of vinegar soup, quite sour, and couldn't help coughing twice.

"That's good, this raid, we plan to use cavalry to raid and quickly break through the blockade of the Ming army." Li Jin nodded and said.

"Where's the baggage?"

"Don't." Li Jin said: "I can't take the baggage this time, so I can only raise it myself on the road." Although the peasant army may have better military discipline than the official army, it should still be robbed, but it is just not to die.

Li Yan is not a virgin, so he naturally knows what "fundraising" means, but now there is no better way, he and the army are in a relationship of weal and woe, of course they will not be hypocritical.

just nodded, and then said: "I have also heard a lot of news about the Ming army here in Wang Xueli in the past few days, and this time the general came to confess to the general.....

"About Yang Sichang's dog thief?" Li Jin asked.

"Yes." Li Yan nodded and said, Wang Xueli didn't avoid him, he told him everything, as soon as the situation of the Ming army on the front line arrived, he immediately asked people to send Li Yan over, as if he had already regarded himself as a detailed work of the army.

Yang Sichang's recent situation is not to say that he is in a mess, but it is also a mess.

On the seventh day of the first month of February, the official army Zuo Liangyu defeated Zhang Xianzhong in Agate Mountain, beheaded more than 3,000 people, captured Zhang Xianzhong's wife and strategist, and on the ninth day of the first month of March, the official army He Renlong and Li Guoqi broke Zhang Xianzhong in Hanxi Temple, beheaded 1,300 people, Xue Chengcai and He Guoxian surrendered to the official army.

The official army pursued all the way to Yanjing, defeated Zhang Xianzhong again, and lost more than 600 people, and the former battalion Ertiao Hu surrendered to the Ming army.

On March 15, he defeated Zhang Xianzhong at Papaya Creek and beheaded 1,200 people.

By the end of the battle of Papaya Creek, Zhang Xianzhong's troops were scattered, and they were no longer organized, and the generals and strategists under his command were almost killed and wounded.

Yang Sichang can be said to be complacent at the moment, Zhang Xianzhong is dying of beating, Li Zicheng is trapped in the lonely mountain, these two giant robbers of the Ming Dynasty are about to be completely wiped out, and Emperor Chongzhen is also overjoyed, it seems that the Central Plains Liukou has reached the verge of destruction.

However, it was at this point that the problem erupted.

First of all, although Zhang Xianzhong escaped into the mountains, like Li Zicheng, he was followed by some absolutely loyal old brothers, these people were loyal and able to fight, and the court officials and soldiers were unable to help them for a while, and characters like Zuo Liangyu accepted Zhang Xianzhong's benefits and shirked all the way but refused to work hard.

At this time, the dying Zhang Xianzhong not only did not die, but lived a good life in the mountains, and the local mountain people hated the tyranny and harsh taxes of the Ming Dynasty, and also provided help to Zhang Xianzhong's department, pointed the way to report the news, and even joined the righteous army with his family, which caused greater trouble to the official army.

Of course, compared with these troubles, what made Yang Sichang most painful was the rupture of his relationship with generals such as Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong.

At first, Yang Sichang felt that Zuo Liangyu's elite soldiers could be relied on, so he had a lot of favor, Zuo Liangyu's official seal was lost in the battle, Yang Sichang invited him to the "Ping Thief General" seal, and the relationship between the two sides was also harmonious, and Zuo Liangyu also lived up to expectations and played a great victory in Agate Mountain to Yang Sichang.

However, after the battle of Onyx Mountain, Zuo Liangyu began to shirk, after all, Zhang Xianzhong was generous, and Zuo Liangyu also felt that Lao Zhang was a good experience bag, and he couldn't be killed with a stick, and he could keep Lao Zhang to be promoted repeatedly in the future.

But Yang Sichang obviously doesn't have this kind of awareness, under several urgings, Zuo Liangyu just didn't move, Yang Sichang was originally a narrow-minded person, where can he bear your martial artist kicking his nose in the face, and he was immediately furious, so he contacted Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to remove Zuo Liangyu and replace him with Renlong.

Then the comedy thing came, Chen Xinjia entered Emperor Chongzhen according to Yang Sichang's intentions, and told Chongzhen about Zuo Liangyu's various non-human behaviors, which really made Chongzhen very dissatisfied, and issued an edict to remove Zuo Liangyu and replace him with Herenlong.

But the matter was done, Yang Sichang hesitated again, he suddenly remembered that changing generals in battle seemed to be a taboo for soldiers, not to mention that Zuo Liangyu defeated Zhang Xianzhong many times in terms of ability, military strength, and prestige were not comparable to He Renlong, so he actually wrote and asked the court to withdraw the edict......

After this coquettish operation, Zuo Liangyu was furious, Lao Tzu gave you Yang Sichang's face? How dare you show me? Okay, if you play me like this, then I'm not welcome, Zhang Xianzhong loves it, I won't kill it!

And He Renlong was still rejoicing that he could hang the big seal of "General Ping Thief", but Yang Sichang came down with a basin of cold water, especially when he learned that Yang Sichang's reason was that he was not as good as Zuo Liangyu, so he was naturally even more annoyed, this Yang Sichang seemed to be playing with He Renlong as a fool, so He Renlong no longer obeyed Yang Sichang's orders.

In addition to the two generals who grudge against him, Yang Sichang also had an extremely unpleasant quarrel with Shao Chunjie, the governor of Sichuan, and Shaanxi......
