Chapter 661 Liu Zongmin knelt down to Li Chaosheng

Author: Taofu

"The county minister is here!"

Li Chaomeng was leading his troops and horses to confront Liu Zongmin. At this moment, he heard a shout and the crowd roared out of the way. The next moment, a group of people and horses came with one man on horseback.

The person who came looked very young, as rich as jade, dressed in Confucian robes, riding on a fiery red horse, and his eyes were as sharp as a sword. At this time, he glanced over and saw Liu Zongmin.

A smile appeared on his face and he said: "Zong Min, farewell in Donggou Valley. It's been a long time."

The gentle voice fell on Liu Zongmin's ears, and it was very pleasant to the ear. He was like a kind big brother greeting his little brother again, with a smile on his face.

When Liu Zongmin heard this, he looked at the visitor and cupped his hands and said, "I have met Mr. Li County."

Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "Well, I'm very happy that Zong Min can call me the county magistrate today, but you are leading troops to massacre the people today, which makes me very angry."

As Li Chaosheng spoke, Liu Zongmin clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I am a grassroots bandit, so it is inevitable that we will be stiff in our work. Please don't be weird, Your Majesty."

Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "I don't think it's strange, but we all just do good deeds and don't ask about our future. We don't need to talk about it. Why did you ask Chaomeng to invite me here?"

Li Chaomeng also said at this time: "Yes, Liu Zongmin, why do you want to see our county magistrate?"

After hearing this, Liu Zongmin jumped off his horse and immediately knelt down to Li Chaosheng. Suddenly everyone looked over in surprise, wondering what Liu Zongmin's intention was.

"Hey, why is Liu Zongmin kneeling down to the county magistrate?"

"No need to ask, just be afraid. There are so many of us, holding open fire, holding the latest firearms in our hands, and the most advanced artillery hidden in the woods. You are Liu Zongmin, aren't you afraid?"

"Yes, he's afraid, but that's wrong. What if he's afraid of kneeling down before the fierce general? Why did he have to ask the county magistrate to come out before he kneels down?"

"You don't understand this. The fierce general is a general. In his opinion, he has the same status as him. How much does he kneel down? The county magistrate is a prince. He kneels to the county magistrate. There is no shame in spreading it. After all,

How many people want to kneel down to the county magistrate, but the county magistrate doesn’t want to do it.”

"Hey, don't say it. What you said makes sense. If I were Liu Zongmin, I would kneel down to the county magistrate and not lose face."

"Isn't it true? Let me tell you that Liu Zongmin is a ghost."

"Yeah, that makes sense, that makes sense."

…

The Lantian soldiers muttered, and the cavalrymen under Liu Zongmin also looked confused. The boss was kneeled down so easily. What should they do? Should they kneel down or not? If they don't kneel down, does it mean they are ignorant?

But kneeling, why? Kneel down before fighting. This is not in line with the principles given to us by Commander Liu. Commander Liu will not say it. When two armies fight, the brave will win. No matter how strong the enemy is, we cannot give in easily.

, he must raise his sword and dig out two pieces of their flesh even if he dies.

But as soon as he said these words, the person who spoke laughed. He was also a fool. Commander Liu himself didn't care about this matter. He knelt down. He still stupidly adhered to the rules passed down by Commander Liu. This is not

What a fool!

It can be said that when Liu Zongmin knelt down, everyone could not feel Liu Zongmin's pulse. They all looked at Liu Zongmin to see what kind of thoughts he wanted to express next.

Li Chaomeng frowned and shouted: "Liu Zongmin, if a man is alive, he will live, and if he dies, he will die. What does it mean to kneel down and beg for mercy? Get up and don't let someone look down on you!"

Li Chaomeng was really angry. Li Chaomeng had always regarded Liu Zongmin as his opponent of the same level. Although they were hostile, they were both strong-willed men. Although they were good and evil and had different stances, their bones were still strong. But Liu Zongmin knelt down.

what is this?

Li Chaosheng seemed to have figured out something at this time, and his eyes gradually became colder, not as cordial as before.

At this time, Liu Zongmin was seen kneeling on the ground, straightened up, and looked at Li Chaosheng with bright eyes and said: "Lord County Li, they have just told me about your great kindness, my mother, brother, and sister in Lantian.

Thanks to the County Lord for his life, Liu cannot repay the favor of the County Lord. However, now Liu is a general under King Chuang and cannot do anything unjust to King Chuang. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been a dilemma.

Liu can only ask for loyalty, but does not care about filial piety."

"But the great kindness of the county elder cannot be repaid, so Liu kowtows to the county elder three times here. Even if he repays the great kindness of the county elder, if there is still unpaid kindness, then Liu will have no choice but to repay him in the next life.

Reported."

After saying this, Liu Zongmin knelt on the ground and kowtowed once, twice, and three times.

This kowtow was very pious, but it made Li Chaosheng angry. This bastard actually wanted to use these three ringing heads to repay his kindness. This Liu Zongmin is really a good businessman. Are his ringing heads so valuable?

Li Chaosheng thought about it, but did not make any expression. Liu Zongmin kowtowed three times, jumped up and said: "Your Majesty, your great kindness and virtue are difficult to repay in this life, but a certain family can promise you something."

In return, if the county leader is defeated one day and is captured by Liu, Liu will definitely protect the county leader’s family from being bullied by others."

"You, Liu Zongmin, you have gone too far to bully others, so you will give me a stick."

Seeing Liu Zongmin being so arrogant, Li Chaomeng was furious. He waved his stick and was about to give Liu Zongmin a slap in the face, letting him know that the sky is high and the earth is high. Don't be so arrogant and let the county leader be defeated. Do you know how terrifying Lantian's background is? Just rely on it.

You idiots dare to plot against my county magistrate, you really don't know how to live or die.

"Mengzi."

Li Chaosheng suddenly laughed angrily at Liu Zongmin's words. He stopped Mengzi and said, "Don't be impulsive. Commander Liu said this sincerely. I also want to thank Commander Liu. By then, my whole family will really

We have to rely on Commander Liu to survive."

After hearing this, Liu Zongmin waved his hands and said: "No need, the county magistrate takes care of my family and I should reciprocate. All this is what I should do."

"You are arrogant!"

Hearing what Liu Zongmin said, Li Chaolong on the side was so angry that he shouted angrily, but Liu Zongmin didn't care at all and still acted as if he was going his own way.

Li Chaolong was so angry that he wished he could tear this official alive.

Liu Zongmin mounted his horse at this time, looked at Li Chaosheng and cupped his hands and said: "Since the county magistrate is here in person today, Liu has no choice but to withdraw his troops and horses, spare the lives of these 80,000 people, and say goodbye."

After Liu Zongmin said that, he turned around and ran away. Li Chaosheng was so angry that many of the soldiers behind him wanted to shoot him. If Li Chaosheng hadn't resolutely not allowed this kind of behavior, Liu Zongmin would have become a stuffy man.

Liu Zongmin led the people and ran out of the area. He was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. He had also bet just now that Li Chaosheng did not want to kill him. He had three bases. First, Li Chaosheng supported his family, which showed that Li Chaosheng had no intention of killing him.

This person still has expectations.

The second thing is that just now he saw many soldiers pointing their guns at him, but they controlled them, and some even turned their heads and didn't look at him. This shows that they may have received orders not to shoot at him.

The third is Liu Zongmin thinking about what happened back then. In the battle at Donggou Valley, Li Chaosheng could have killed himself, but he didn't. Why?

This is very strange, and it is also something that Liu Zongmin has been puzzled by over the years. At first, he attributed it to Li Chaosheng's love for talents, but gradually over the years, he found that it was not a simple love for talents.

It seems that there is something he doesn't know, but he doesn't understand it thoroughly enough.

Anyway, Liu Zongmin's bet was right, but even if he was right, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing this, the guards on the side asked: "Commander, how can we explain to King Chuang if we don't catch the people back?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zongmin glanced at the man and snorted coldly: "What do you want to explain?"

The man heard this and said, "Explain why we didn't catch up with those 80,000 people."

"Explain it, please give me a hammer. I can escape from Li Chaosheng's hands because of God's mercy. King Chuang is crazy and wants to hold me accountable. Even if King Chuang comes in person, will it be any better?"

After hearing this, the bodyguard stopped talking. Liu Zongmin pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, let me inform you that the news that I knelt down to Li Chaosheng today is not allowed to spread, otherwise I will kill you without mercy."

"yes."

As Liu Zongmin spoke, he rode back and reported to Li Zicheng. He was followed closely by the cavalry who were catching up. They came with murderous intent and returned dejected.

More than an hour later, Liu Zongmin rushed back to Xin'an County. Now Xin'an County has become Li Zicheng's temporary military camp. Soldiers live in the city and the whole city has entered the stage of military management.

As soon as Liu Zongmin entered the city, he met Li Shichao, who was leading a patrol. Li Shichao smiled and said, "Brother Liu, how are you? Have you caught up with those people?"

Hearing this, Liu Zongmin smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to explain. Brother Li, where is King Chuang?"

When Li Shichao heard this, he knew that Liu Zongmin had not chased these people. At this time, his heart dropped into his stomach. He blocked Liu Zongmin here and wanted to find out the news.

"Oh, King Chuang was at the Xin'an County Government Office, talking to several military advisors. King Chuang told Brother Liu that when you come back, you don't need to ask for permission. You can go directly to see him."

Liu Zongmin heard this and said: "Okay, I just have something important to report to King Chuang."

As he spoke, Liu Zongmin hurriedly ran to the county government office.

At this time, in the county government office, Li Chaolong was discussing the next military plan with three military advisors. Sun Chuanting ran away with the people of Xin'an County. No matter what the purpose was, Sun Chuanting was completely defeated. The Qin army had been crippled. They

I no longer have the strength to compete with Li Zicheng."

In this way, there are only a bunch of scattered military leaders in Henan. The leader is He Renlong, followed by Zuo Liangyu. The three military advisors unanimously said that it is not a big deal for these two people. Sun Chuanting, the hardest bone in Henan, has gnawed on it.

If it falls off, the rest will be scum.

The soldiers under these people have poor military discipline. They are not as elite as Sun Chuanting's Qin army. In comparison, they can only be regarded as a ragtag group. Although the soldiers under King Chuang are also a ragtag group, King Chuang has many people, and the military strength of the opponent is almost the same as his own.

In this case, the king will win.

The only thing that needs to be confirmed now is Sun Chuanting's movements. If Sun Chuanting can be captured alive by Liu Zongmin, it will be God's blessing for him to join the army.

If not, it doesn't matter. A defeated Sun Chuanting doesn't have that much strength, especially when his Qin army was killed and wounded more than half of them, and the morale of the army is not united, this matter is even more okay.

In other words, the next time will be the fastest time for their army to develop. They can capture the whole of Henan. If they advance, they can attack Shandong, Shanxi, and Hebei. If they retreat, they can attack AH Jiangnan. As for Hubei, forget about it. That is Lantian's private land. Li Chaolong is still

I'm not arrogant enough to think that I can snatch food from Lan Tian's mouth.

And even if he were to grab food, it would only be after he traveled to four provinces and mobilized an army of millions.

Li Zicheng is still keeping a low profile now. Just when a few people were discussing military strategies, someone came outside to report that Liu Zongmin was back.

When Li Zicheng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said: "Please come quickly."

Soon Liu Zongmin entered the meeting hall, cupped his hands to Li Zicheng and said: "King Chuang."

Li Zicheng smiled and said: "Thank you brother Zongmin. How about we caught that thief Sun Chuanting?"
