The 672nd Carriage Gorge

Zhang Xianzhong sat halfway up the mountain, eating the last piece of fire, still unfinished.

Also lick your fingers with your tongue.

Lick off the little oil you have on it.

Looking at the green eyes of the carriage gorge, Zhang Xianzhong was not emotional at all.

If there is not a mountain in front of you, but a wide avenue; is not a stinky soldier around him, but a beautiful girl; It is not the last piece that is eaten, but the first piece that is burned.

How nice it would be!

At the moment, he and a group of peasant troops were trapped in the narrow carriage gorge.

The officers and soldiers were blocked at both ends, Chen Qiyu's troops on one side and Lu Xiangsheng's troops on the other.

They were afraid that the peasant army would be trapped and that they would fight to the death.

The peasant army could not get out either.

From April to May, it's almost June.

After such a long siege, the food was almost exhausted.

Zhang Kewang walked and climbed and came to Zhang Xianzhong: "Da, if we continue like this, I'm afraid we will all die here." ”

"What's the dog called, isn't Lao Tzu trying to figure out a way?"

Zhang Xianzhong didn't even have the strength to scold him.

"Da, I have an idea, but I'm afraid that Da won't agree."

Zhang Kewang sat on a big tree horizontally, took off his clothes, and wrung them out.

In May, it was rainy and rainy.

Not long ago, it had just rained heavily.

At this time, clouds and mist shrouded the Carriage Gorge.

"Just say, huh...... Lao Tzu doesn't beat you. ”

Zhang Xianzhong grabbed the lice on his body and ate it in one bite.

"I think the only way to use Liu Bang to get out of the siege of the Huns is to give all the jewels we got to the generals under Chen Qiyu."

Zhang Kewang said: "After buying off the generals, let's pretend to surrender again." Lie to them and say that we want to go back to Shaanxi to farm......"

"Yes!"

Without waiting for Zhang Kewang to finish speaking, Zhang Xianzhong patted his thigh: "It is worthy of being Lao Tzu's son, why didn't Lao Tzu think of it?" ”

"Da, agreed?" Zhang Kewang couldn't be sure.

Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile: "Of course I agree, quickly call Zhang Miaoshou and Tuo Yangkun, pile up the money together, and send it to the officials and soldiers." ”

Things are more complicated than expected.

When the leaders of these peasant armies from a hard background heard that they wanted to take out all the money, they were a little reluctant.

Zhang Xianzhong was so angry that he scolded: "Your guys who eat, don't do anything else except eat?" Dying here, like a puddle of mud, how can you go out and be happy.

When we escape, we'll make a comeback and fuck the hell. The money, no, it will come back. ”

"This ...... What if the officers and soldiers repent? Tuoyangkun was a little worried.

This is also a relatively reliable question.

Zhang Kewang smiled: "Scorpion block, you don't have to worry about it at all. If it had been a month ago, I can't guarantee that they would have been paid to do things.

Now, I'm 90% sure that they'll let us go. ”

"Why?" Tuoyangkun asked busily.

"The court treats soldiers as badly as dogs. I watched for a long time and found that what they were eating was getting worse day by day. ”

Zhang Kewang said confidently: "If we give them some benefits, they will have no intention of encircling and suppressing." ”

When the leaders of the peasant army heard this, they all felt that it made sense.

The Ming Dynasty used literature to control the military, but there were very few outstanding military and political talents from the imperial examination.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were only Yuan Chonghuan, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and a few people.

The rest have serious deviations.

For example, Yang Sichang is good at strategy, and it is difficult to explain the actual command of battles.

What is more indescribable than this kind of person belongs to the "pendant" of civil officials.

For example, Wang Ji and Yang Hao all belong to their subordinates, and if they don't have good general soldiers, they won't fight.

Chen Qiyu is also a pendant.

The most capable of fighting under his command is Deng Xi, a famous general of the Sichuan army.

Zhang Kewang's bribe target was him.

After collecting all the belongings, Zhang Kewang took a dozen soldiers who were not afraid of death and sent the treasures to Deng Xi's camp overnight.

Deng Xi looked at so many treasures and was a little moved.

He looked up at Zhang Kewang and asked, "Where are you from?" ”

"A native of Mizhi County, Shaanxi." Zhang Kewang replied.

"Why don't you be a good people, but you want to be a thief?"

"I couldn't live, and I had nowhere to go, so I did it...... Thief. ”

"Oh. You can stay in my camp, and I promise I won't treat you badly. ”

Deng Xi didn't lie.

Talents are rare, and Deng Xi lacks such young and promising talents.

"Caomin's hometown is from Shaanxi, and I hope to return to Shaanxi."

Zhang Kewang borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, "I will never do the days of fighting and killing in the future." ”

"It's good that you have this heart, but I ......"

Deng Xi hesitated.

He can't take the money and do nothing, because this kind of thing can't be hidden.

But this money is hot.

let go of the thieves, and the emperor blamed him, and the sin was not small.

Zhang Kewang seemed to see through Deng Xi: "The master refuses to let us go, Master Deng's concerns." On the way to come, the grass people saw that the clothes of the Sichuan soldiers were all rotten, and they didn't even have a good pair of shoes. ”

Deng Xi smiled awkwardly.

He's okay.

It was because of the long stay on the periphery of the carriage gorge and the successive torrential rains that led to this miserable appearance.

The Sichuan army in Chengdu was miserable, with no suitable weapons, no armor, and no clothes and shoes.

Whoever sees it has to call it a "beggar soldier".

Zhang Kewang continued: "The master has eliminated us, how many taels of rewards can we get?" ”

"Well...... this" Deng Xi couldn't answer.

He once worked with the First Division of the Liaodong Army.

At that time, if Meng Qiaofang hadn't had a heart, they would have to work for nothing.

After the war, Deng Xi learned that each soldier of the Liaodong Army was additionally rewarded with silver.

This made an extremely strong impression on him.

Zhang Kewang said: "Master, you let us go." Taking out some of the money and giving it to the other officers and brothers is not much better than killing us and not getting anything out of it. ”

"You're right."

Deng Xi looked at the silver that glanced at the eyes, "But I really can't afford this charge of arson." ”

"Give the money to those generals a little bit, and go to Governor Chen together, only talk about the situation in the army, and say that they can't hold on."

Zhang Kewang came up with an idea: "I'll wait for the white flag to surrender again, and you can borrow the slope to get off the donkey, don't you." ”

"Makes sense."

Deng Xi was completely convinced.

The next day, he called the Ming army generals who knew each other together.

He hid half of the silver given by Zhang Kewang, and took out the other half and divided it among everyone.

Then, let's go to find Chen Qiyu together.

Chen Qiyu also felt that the great work was about to be completed, so he agreed to appease.

After receiving the support of Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Emperor Chongzhen approved and agreed.

In mid-June of that year, Chen Qiyu recruited the peasant army on behalf of the imperial court.

By this time, more than 13,000 people from Zhang Xianzhong's department, more than 15,000 people from Tuoyangkun, more than 9,100 people from Zhang Miaoshou, and about 8,300 other leaders of all sizes had surrendered to the Ming army.

Chen Qiyu sent a pacification officer for every 100 people to monitor him, and by the way, he was repatriated to his hometown for resettlement.

However, when the peasant army left the Carriage Gorge and entered Shaanxi.

Suddenly, the situation changed abruptly.
