Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Black Face

Do you want him to rely on these troops to fight the Jin army?

I'm afraid they'll turn against each other halfway through.

Thinking of the betrayal he had just learned of Zhang Ruolin's betrayal, Li Zicheng didn't dare to use those surrendered troops.

And even if those troops surrender to the battle, their combat effectiveness is still vulnerable.

Even their Dashun couldn't defeat the Jin army, let alone these Ming troops who had just surrendered.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng's face changed slightly.

He suddenly found that the current situation was indeed as Li Yan said, and it was in danger.

If he doesn't handle it well, Dashun may not even be able to be a Southern Song Dynasty, and the biggest possibility is a new dynasty!

After pondering for a while, Li Zicheng said to Niu Jinxing.

"Prime Minister, if I'm not mistaken, Henan only has a few thousand people from the mighty general Han Huamei and the lieutenant Li Ruzong and others, right?"

"Back to Your Majesty, that's true."

Bull Venus replied.

In fact, they didn't expect to lose to the Jin army at the beginning, so they didn't arrange defenses in Henan and other places.

After all, they had already overthrown the Ming Dynasty at that time, and it was reasonable to think that they were about to become the new Central Plains Dynasty.

But no one expected that Jiannu would intervene and make their dynasty dream completely ruined.

Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to set up defenses in Henan, Shandong, and Shanxi, so that Jiannu cannot continue to go south.

Even if you can't win the Jin Army, defending the city is defending it after all, right?

"Later, we will call the owners of the camp to discuss in the future."

Li Zicheng spoke again.

"Whoa!"

After saying this, Li Zicheng stopped talking.

He had to think about who to send to Henan and other places to guard.

And seeing that Li Zicheng began to close his eyes, everyone stopped cleaning him.

Silently rushed to the road.

……

In the evening, the people who had been walking for a day began to set up camp and rest.

Lao Zhu also sat quietly around the bonfire with the soldiers under his command.

It's just that his thoughts are long gone......

Just now, Gu Ying had already told him that Li Zicheng was going to send generals to Shanxi, Henan and other places to guard against the Jin army.

He was one of them.

And this is exactly what he wants, after all, he has been staying under Li Zicheng's nose, and he can't let go.

Let's go to Shanxi to fight Jiannu.

After a while, Gu Ying came over with a pot of wine.

He specially saw off Lao Zhu.

It's rare to meet a pleasing eye in the army, and it's a pity to just leave.

But they all went to work for Dashun, and they have no regrets.

Just come over and have a pot.

Lao Zhu followed Gu Ying to a clearing lot.

The two men quietly picked up their glasses and toasted a bowl.

It's all in plain sight.

……

The next day.

The large army arrived at Datong Mansion in Shanxi.

Lao Zhu also left the team to meet his boss this time.

And with him, there is also Tang Tong, the former Ming Miyun commander, that is, the Tang Tong who failed to persuade Wu Sangui to surrender.

He was not blamed by Li Zicheng, but was also sent to guard Baode.

This made Lao Zhu look at Li Zicheng with admiration, and he deserved to be the leader of the rebel army who could overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

Something.

"General Zhu, you have to take care of your little brother more in the future."

Tang Tong smiled and hugged his fist at Lao Zhu.

Just looking at this appearance, a proper smiling tiger.

Lao Zhu, who had blackened his face, looked at Tang Tong for a while, and found that he didn't recognize himself.

Suddenly his heart was relieved, it seems that when this guy first saw Chongzhen, he didn't watch it carefully.

Then he was not afraid that Zhang Tianlin would recognize him.

After all, he must have seen the corpse of "himself".

And Tang Tong saw that Lao Zhu had been staring at him and didn't speak, and he felt a little hairy.

The hand involuntarily touched his face, as if he thought there was something on his face.

"Where, in the future, I still want General Tang to take care of us."

Seeing Tang Tong's action, Lao Zhu hurriedly showed a smile and said politely.

"Hehe, take care of each other, take care of each other."

“……”

After chatting with each other for a while, Tang Tong took the lead in saying goodbye.

Baode belongs to Taiyuan Mansion, and he has to go a little further ahead, and he has to walk a little more to get there.

After Tang Tong led the troops to leave, Lao Zhu also took his 3,000 men and horses to the camp on the right.

Entering the boss's tent, Lao Zhu knelt down on one knee and said.

"The last general, the mighty general Zhu Guorui, see the envoy of the festival!"

Yes, you heard it right, Lao Zhu is indeed shouting the festival envoy.

This kind of official position, which was very famous in the Tang Dynasty, now belongs to Dashun.

This is the local official position that Li Zicheng changed after becoming emperor.

The governor was changed to the Jiedu Envoy, the Governor was changed to the Commander, the Political Secretary was changed to the Unification Council, the military armament was changed to the Defense Envoy, the prefect was changed to the Prefecture Yin, the Prefecture was changed to the Prefecture Mu, and the county was changed to the county order.

There are not only the Jiedu envoys of the Tang Dynasty, but also the Fu Yin of the Song Dynasty and the state pastor of the Han Dynasty.

It's the ultimate stitching weird.

"Get up, General Zhu."

General Zuo Shanxi Jiedu envoy Zhang Tianlin said, and then looked at Lao Zhu's black face and chuckled.

"I've long heard of General Zhu, who burned Yongding, and when I see it today, it's worthy of the name~"

Hearing this, Old Zhu's face flushed slightly.

Even if they were human beings, they felt a little hot on their cheeks.

He knew that Zhang Tianlin was making fun of his black face, but he couldn't help it, if he didn't darken his face, it would be miserable to be recognized.

Fortunately, his face was darker than that he wiped with black charcoal, so people couldn't tell that he was blushing.

Otherwise, he would be embarrassed to be deducted from the two rooms.

"Hahaha, Ben Shuai teased you, don't say that your face is really black, even if it's fake black, Ben Shuai won't laugh at you."

"Because Ben Shuai also has a "black face" under his command~"

Zhang Tianlin laughed.

Hearing this, Lao Zhu's heart tightened, what is fake black, it won't be recognized so easily, right?

Impossible, right?

However, when he heard Zhang Tianlin say that he also had a black face under his command, Lao Zhu was a little puzzled.

How did this get to the black face?

Looking at Lao Zhu's stunned appearance, Zhang Tianlin was not abrasive.

Shouting directly into the tent.

"Come in with a black face."

With Zhang Tianlin's voice, a man with a somewhat white appearance walked into the tent.

When he saw Lao Zhu, his eyes were obviously a little surprised.

"This is the mighty general Zhu Guorui of the forward battalion, General Zhu, who is now ordered by His Majesty to assist us in guarding Datong Mansion."

Zhang Tianlin first introduced Lao Zhu, and then explained the middle-aged man in front of Lao Zhu.

"This is my lieutenant, with a black face."

"What?"

Hearing this, Lao Zhu was obviously stunned.

After a long time, the black face that I said turned out to be what it meant?

He thought he was testing him.

It turned out to be a name.

But the name is a bit weird, and it doesn't match me.

Lao Zhu looked at this man who was not dark at all and thought.

"Hello, General Zhu."

"Hello, Zhang... Adjutant general. ”

Looking at Lao Zhu's appearance with a black face, Zhang couldn't help but say.

"I think you deserve to be called a black face."
