Gu Fuguang is a well-known righteous businessman in Luoyang City, in order to defend the city, even the descendants of the Zhu family, the vassal king of the Fu Domain, only donated 1,000 taels, but Gu Fuguang donated 1,500 taels with a wave of his hand.

Such a generous shot not only proved his financial strength, but also expressed his love for "Daming", that is, even Lu Weiqi was shocked, and summoned Gu Fuguang to praise it very much, and his name in Luoyang was famous.

In Luoyang, he assumed the pseudonym "Gu Shizhen", especially befriended middle and lower-level officers, gave gifts and invited banquet guests, and the soldiers all knew that there was a righteous businessman named "Mr. Gu", and he was very close to them.

Picking the star building is a first-class restaurant in Luoyang, usually only dignitaries and wealthy businessmen will have a banquet here, there are all kinds of dishes in the north and south, Shaanxi and Sichuan, that is, the geisha of singing and dancing, which are all good thin horses from Yangzhou, this kind of place is not easy for ordinary people to enter.

But today is an exception, Gu Fuguang invited a few military leaders in charge of city defense on the grounds that it was not easy to defend the city, and specially spent three hundred taels of silver to charter a box on the top floor of the Star Picking Tower, ordered more than a dozen delicacies, and invited a few dancing girls to feast wantonly.

Mr. Gu ..... You are high-minded, in the next .... admired the ...... below, "Tian Hu, who had already drunk slightly, picked up the wine glass and toasted to Gu Fuguang, who was sitting in the first place.

"Yes, I ...... I also followed a ....." Ren Jirong also got up with a red face to toast, and even the rest of the junior officers got up one after another.

Gu Fuguang got up with a smile and drank it all, and then said with a smile: "Alas, what are the generals, what are these words, Gu Mou is just doing his best, where can he dare to praise him like this, not to mention, Gu Mou is just entrusted by others." ”

"Entrusted? Mr. Gu is humble, where is there a righteous man like Mr. in Luoyang City? Tian Hu said when he heard this.

"Hey, General Tian is serious, Lu Shangshu and Wang Bingxian are all well-educated people, where would they watch the soldiers starving from the cold? Although there is a shortage of food in Luoyang, I heard that there is not a lot of food in Fuwangfu, and I think that as long as it is evenly distributed, it can solve the urgent need. Gu Fuguang pretended not to know and said.

"Fu Wang?" Ren Jirong snorted coldly, then slapped the wine glass on the table heavily, and said, "Mr. Gu still doesn't know, this Fu King can't be counted on." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"The word spread in the city, saying that it was Lord Lu and they went to King Fu to borrow food, King Fu excused the emptiness of the palace and refused to borrow it, and even threatened to impeach Lord Lu, this matter will not be over, poor our brothers, defend the city for the country, and now don't say that the military salary has been delayed for more than a year, that is, the food is not enough!" Ren Jirong's tone revealed dissatisfaction, obviously very resentful of King Fu's stinginess.

"Hey, General Ren, the rumors are not enough to be believed, not enough to be believed." Although Gu Fuguang knew it, he still said haha.

"What's not to believe?" Tian Hu glared and slapped the table and scolded: "Yesterday's military order has come down, we have to cut down on food and clothing, and now the weather is cold, the brothers can only eat a bowl of gruel every day, or they will starve to death soon!" The blessed king of this dog day is really urgent, and the lord leads the troops to the palace to rob it directly! ”

"Be careful!" Ren Jirong glared at Tian Hu fiercely and motioned for him to shut up.

"What is there to be cautious about? Wang Shaoyu's house, obviously he was defeated, but he put the blame on Brother Xie, now that Brother Xie is in prison, I see that it is also hanging, Brother Ren, I am afraid that Wang Shaoyu will not be able to let us go, sooner or later we will have to go to prison together! Tian Hu said indignantly.

They are all characters brought out by Luo Dai, now that Luo Dai died in battle, Xie Yinglong is guilty, which makes it clear that Wang Shaoyu took this opportunity to liquidate Luo Dai's forces and henchmen, but it is a pity that Luo Dai Chongzhen died under Zhang Xianzhong in 12 years, otherwise why would they be like this?

Ren Jirong was also silent when he heard this, which was indeed what he was worried about.

Gu Fuguang looked at the banquet where the atmosphere suddenly cooled, although his face was embarrassed, but his heart was happy, it turned out that there was more filth in the Ming army than he thought, and it would be much easier to do.

Then he cleared his throat and said, "The two generals are inconclusive matters, why are you so anxious? The price of this star picking building is not cheap, don't let these things miss the wine. ”

Hearing this, Ren Jirong and the others also felt reasonable, and they raised their glasses and continued to toast to Gu Fuguang, and drank three more rounds, each of them was slightly drunk, and Gu Fuguang slowly said: "Actually, I don't hide it from the generals, I am also entrusted by others this time, I really don't deserve you to be so loving......"

"Harm, Mr. Gu laughed again, who else in Luoyang can be so arrogant now, and the shot is 1,500 taels? Don't laugh, don't laugh....." Ren Jirong obviously drank a little high, and said intermittently.

Gu Fuguang just dipped the wine on his fingers, drew circles on the desk, stared at the desk with careless eyes, and then said slowly: "General Ren, don't believe it, what I said is true." ”

"Hahaha, if Mr. Gu is telling the truth, why don't you say who is entrusted by whom? So our brothers know about this benefactor? Tian Hu said while burping, from the bottom of his heart he didn't believe it.

"Okay, but please let the two generals retreat first." Gu Fuguang smiled and said casually.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere instantly became weird, Ren Jirong and Tian Hu were not fools, they thought that Gu Fuguang was talking nonsense through wine, but now they are making such a request, which means that this is true, this matter is not simple, they have collected so much money and eaten so much silver, and now they are putting this thing out, it is obvious that they want to do something.

Immediately, the two of them were not drunk, they glanced at Gu Fuguang suspiciously, but they still decided to listen to what he had to say, waved their hands and signaled their subordinates to go back first, leaving only one personal soldier behind.

"This?" Gu Fuguang looked at the pro-soldiers who had not been stained with wine and asked.

"His name is Meng Changgeng, and he is my cronies, Mr. Gu can rest assured, there is nothing that he can't know." Tian Hu hurriedly explained.

Gu Fuguang hesitated, but still nodded, saying that it was okay, and when the picture was poor, he would not be in trouble.

"Mr. Gu can tell us who the master behind him is now, right?" Ren Jirong frowned, he already had some bad guesses in his heart.

"The two generals are both smart people, but they still can't understand it?" Gu Fuguang said with a smile, then slowly got up, waved his hands, and said loudly: "A certain is the commander of the post post under the command of the commander of the army who broke into the camp to prepare for the army, Gu Fuguang, this time I came to persuade the two generals to surrender on the order of my family to watch the army!" ”

Although he had been prepared, but suddenly revealed his identity, Ren Jirong and Tian Hu were shocked, Meng Changgeng had already pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, his eyes were staring at Gu Fuguang and preparing to make a move, but fortunately, Tian Hu hinted that he should not move first.

"Mr. Gu, you and I know each other, we regard you as close friends, we can do today's things and don't know, but please don't mention this matter again, Mr., we are generals of the imperial court, how can we be thieves?" Ren Jirong calmed down and said slowly.

"From thieves?" Gu Fuguang sneered when he heard this, pointed to the direction of King Fu's Mansion and said: "I broke into the army to do the way for the heavens, and Juntian was exempt from taxes, but I was regarded as a thief by you, and King Fu squeezed the people's fat and ointment all day long, and the people of fish and flesh, so that you were not clothed and hungry to defend the city, who is the thief?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the two generals were silent, and King Fu's approach really made them chill.

"Why should the two generals be in a hurry to refuse? Why don't you listen to the conditions of my father-in-law, and then make a decision? Seeing that the two were silent, Gu Fuguang slowly said, since they are silent, there is something to talk about.

Although Ren Jirong and Tian Hu still didn't speak, they glanced at each other, Gu Fuguang was so old and spicy, he could see at a glance that they were still hesitating.

Gu Fuguang coughed lightly, and then said slowly: "If the two generals are willing to surrender, my family will invite the king to retain the command of the two, in addition, food and property are regarded as the army, after the city of Luoyang is broken, the soldiers under his command will be given ten taels of silver, and the short military salary of the imperial court will also be made up by the army." ”

"Your family is so generous with the army?" Tian Hu said in disbelief, according to their cognition, the army was very poor, and it was unbelievable that he was so generous now.

"My family may not have such a lot of property, but there must be a lot of them in the Fu Domain." Gu Fuguang said with a smile and spread his hands.

Hearing this, the two generals were silent.

Ren Jirong also spoke at this time, and arched his hand and said: "Mr. loves us, we are really scared, but Mr. also knows that we are not some deputy general command, there are only hundreds of people under our command, Wang Shaoyu's cronies, Liu Jianyi, Luo Tai, holding heavy troops, even if we have a heart, but we can't do it." ”

"The general's words are wrong," Gu Fuguang shook his head with a smile.

"The generals are attached to each other, it doesn't mean that the soldiers are happy to die, the blessings are greedy, and the soldiers are resentful. Besides, my family is like a god when watching the army, and there is an army of 100,000 kings behind, so why should the two generals hesitate? Open the city gates and help each other to be rich and prosperous! Gu Fuguang said loudly.

Hearing that Li Zicheng's 100,000 army was there, Ren Jirong and Tian Hu were obviously shaken, if it was only Li Yan, they might still feel that it was risky, but Li Zicheng came, then they felt that this matter could not be done.

After being silent for a long time, Ren Jirong took the lead in speaking: "I heard that He Jiao, the commander of Baofeng County, was killed when he surrendered the city, how can we believe that King Chuang is not a traitor?" ”

"Didn't you ask Guo Junzhen?" Gu Fuguang laughed: "Before the war, Guo Junzhen should have sent Pang Tianzan to lose his sincerity, the Guan army had known it for a long time, but he didn't punish it, and all the people killed by the army were corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so what should the two generals fear?" ”

Hearing this, the two nodded, they also knew about Guo Junzhen's affairs, and what Gu Fuguang said was not unreasonable.

"If the two still don't believe it, a certain person is willing to make a blood alliance with the two, if there is a betrayal, God will punish it!" Gu Fuguang saw that the two of them had been shaken, and hurriedly added.

The two glanced at each other, thought for a moment, and then nodded emphatically, indicating that they agreed to Gu Fuguang's request.

In fact, it was just that Ren Jirong and Tian Hu were shaken, and Gu Fuguang directly clarified his identity that he would surrender if he died.

As far as the Duke is concerned, they are all recruits, and the court does not pay salaries, so they have long been deeply dissatisfied, and this time the Fu Fan has done such things, the soldiers on the city wall have long been dry firewood, and sooner or later there will be problems, Lu Weiqi and these scholars are too far away from the soldiers, and they don't realize the seriousness of the problem at all.

Privately, they were originally Luo Dai's people who were raised by his hand, Luo Dai and Wang Shaoyu had a dirty relationship, and they fought for power in the past, but there were unforeseen circumstances, Luo Dai followed Zuo Liangyu to fight against Zhang Xianzhong and died in battle, and they became rootless duckweed.

In the previous field battle, Wang Shaoyu kept his cronies without him, but took them with his gang of "Luo Jiaban", and then after the war, he found a reason to dispose of Xie Yinglong, and killed Luo Dai's nephew Luo Xing, which is clearly to be cleaned, and Ren Jirong and Tian Hu cannot sit still.

In public and private, it is inevitable for them to jump back, and Gu Fuguang just accelerated the process......
