The two sides fought bloody battles for a day and a night, but no one could win the other, and both sides suffered losses.
Early the next morning, He Renlong's vanguard cavalry arrived, and they were accompanied by two distinguished guests, the new Minister of War Xiong Wencan and the Supervisor Liu Yuanbin!
Moreover, they brought shocking news: Liu Guoneng, the "Crossing the Sky", had asked for surrender in Suizhou and officially accepted the recruitment of the army!
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Xiong Wencan was in high spirits and sat in the middle on the throne that originally belonged to Zuo Liangyu, while the supervisors Liu Yuanbin and Zuo Liangyu could only sit on the left and right respectively!
"Everyone, I have obtained permission from the Holy One and am determined to recruit Zhang Xianzhong's remaining troops to serve the country. Now the time has come, what do you think?" Xiong Wencan gently stroked his long beard under his chin and glanced at the crowd.
Zuo Liangyu's face was livid with anger. Although Liu Yuanbin had revealed the matter to him in advance, when he actually heard the fact, he still couldn't accept it. He gritted his teeth and asked: "My soldier, the rest of the thieves have been captured."
Zuo is trapped in this valley, and he can be defeated with just one go! If my soldiers surrender now, how will Zuo face the tens of thousands of brothers who died in battle? How will Zuo explain to their heroic spirits?"
Xiong Wencan glanced at Zuo Liangyu with disdain. He had never had a good impression of this rude and despicable soldier who dared to neglect him. In addition, at this time, he had successfully recruited Liu Guoneng to surrender, so he never put Zuo Liangyu in his eyes.
, without concealing his disgust, "General Zuo, what do you mean by this? Your own affairs are naturally resolved by yourself! As for the surrender, that is the emperor's wish. Do you want to resist the order and be disrespectful?"
He Renlong from the group also chimed in and said: "Zuo Manzi, if you don't have that diamond, don't take the porcelain job! You have no ability yourself, dragging your brothers to death in battle, how dare you say that?"
"Madman He, if you have the guts, you fucking tell me again?" Zuo Liangyu's forehead veins were exposed, he stood up suddenly, pointed at the tip of He Renlong's nose and shouted.
The two were already at odds with each other, and at this moment Zuo Liangyu was even more blinded by anger, and her right hand was already on the handle of the knife at her waist!
"Hahaha~~!" He Renlong laughed loudly and disdainfully, "Zuo Manzi, you idiot, what's wrong? You want to practice with your brother again, but you can't?"
While speaking, he stood up suddenly!
He Renlong is tall and strong, with a sinewy face and is nearly 1.9 meters tall. As soon as he stood up, most of the light in the entire tent was blocked by him!
He Renlong was a martial arts scholar in the Wanli period and was considered a major, while Zuo Liangyu started as a soldier in Liaodong and slowly rose through the ranks through military exploits. Their natures were incompatible!
Zuo Liangyu fiercely pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed at He Renlong and said: "Madman He, stop giving me such nonsense! Let's come and see the real chapter!"
He Renlong also pulled out the sword from his waist without showing any signs of weakness, and walked towards Zuo Liangyu with a grin!
"Both generals are our own family, why should we hurt the harmony over this trivial matter?" Supervisor Liu Yuanbin hurriedly came out to smooth things over. He had a close relationship with Zuo Liangyu and was naturally on his side. He didn't want him to fall into Xiong Wencan's mouth.
!
Xiong Wencan was also a little displeased and said: "Both generals are the pillars of the country. If there is a dispute over this matter, won't you be afraid of making people laugh if it spreads?"
A martial artist is a martial artist, no matter what he does, he can't get on the stage. Xiong Wencan makes no secret of his disdain!
Zuo Liangyu was already blinded by the blood of anger, but he calmed down at this time, put the sword back into the scabbard, and said disdainfully: "What should I do if you adults tell me to do it? Why bother asking Zuo?
?However, a soldier’s weapons, food, and pensions for his brothers should be taken care of for his humble duty, right?”
He Renlong also took back his sword, but looked at Xiong Wencan aside, meaning that even a bastard named Zuo could replenish his weapons, food and fodder, so he shouldn't be worse than him, right?
Xiong Wencan glanced at the two of them and said slowly: "Since you are a person who has served the country well, I will naturally report it to the court, and I will definitely not miss your money! Since everyone has no objection to the matter, let's do it like this! General Chen
Where is it?"
On the side, a big man in his forties quickly walked out of the queue, knelt down on one knee and said: "Chen Hongfan, a humble official, has seen my soldiers and the supervisor of the army!"
Xiong Wencan immediately smiled brightly and said kindly: "General Chen, how confident are you in recruiting Zhang Xianzhong's remaining troops this time?"
Chen Hongfan raised his hands and cupped his fists and said: "My humble position once saved Zhang Xianzhong's life. I am willing to guarantee it with my head. Before dark tomorrow, I will definitely let him be my soldier and bear the thorn to plead guilty for the supervisor!"
"Okay!" Xiong Wencan slammed the table hard and laughed: "Now, I'll leave everything to General Chen! Someone, come and pour a glass of wine for General Chen to see him off!"
…………
In the woods on the hillside, Pu Sheng saw that yesterday the people on both sides were fighting to the death, but today there was suddenly no movement, and he was very puzzled, "Brother, what is going on? Even if the commander changes his temper, what will happen to him?"
I'm afraid the thief can't do it, right? Does he really want to be trapped and die here?"
But Liu Ruyi just smiled bitterly and explained feebly: "Brother, I'm afraid this battle won't be fought!"
"Ah~~~?" Pu Sheng was shocked, "What, why is this? So many brothers died in battle, and it was so hard to get such a good opportunity. Why, why not continue and catch all these hateful thieves?"
Liu Ruyi casually dismissed the surrounding soldiers, lowered her voice, and told Pu Sheng the secrets in the blood book!
Zhang Xianzhong is from Fushi, Yan'an, Shanxi. He is the same age as Li Zicheng and comes from a poor family! But he was smart and stubborn since he was a child. He followed his father to do some small business and made a living by selling red dates!
As an adult, he worked as a policeman, and then moved to Yansui Town to become a border soldier!
Zhang Xianzhong is strong-willed, loyal, and loves to fight injustices. He is very prestigious among the soldiers. Although he is not an official, his words are more effective than those who are officials!
On one occasion, Zhang Xianzhong was punished for his injustice and framed others, so he should be executed according to the law! Seeing his majestic appearance, the commander-in-chief at the time, Chen Hongfan, went to the commander-in-chief Wang Wei to intercede for him, and finally he was acquitted with "a hundred lashes!" Zhang Xianzhong was spared!
And he survived because of it!
Later, he fled back to his hometown after being dismissed from military service, until he launched an army to rebel!
Over the years, Zhang Xianzhong and Chen Hongfan have kept in touch. During the Chinese New Year, Chen Hongfan will be given generous gifts as a sign of kindness!
That blood letter was written by Zhang Xianzhong to Chen Hongfan, who was already Xiong Wencan’s confidant. The letter recalled the past lives of the two people, and said: “I was saved by my benefactor back then, but I haven’t had time to repay my benefactor’s great kindness! Today
It is God's will to meet again! I am willing to lead my troops to surrender and serve in front of the horse!"
Although Liu Ruyi was not very proficient in Ming history in her previous life, she had watched many TV series. Among them, the relationship between Xiong Wencan and Zhang Xianzhong was quite strange, with an indescribable intimacy!
As for Chen Hongfan, who loves great achievements, he conspired with Xiong Wencan and wanted to accomplish this extraordinary feat!
According to normal historical development, Zhang Xianzhong will definitely be recruited by Xiong Wencan, and with Xiong Wencan's current level of sainthood, slandering him is tantamount to seeking death!
Liu Ruyi would naturally not do such a stupid thing!
"Brother, things are already like this. I wonder what your plans are for the future?" Seeing Pu Sheng's mouth wide open, Liu Ruyi changed the topic with a smile!
Pu Sheng was really stimulated. After a long time, he trembled and said: "Brother, this, this can only be like this? Is there no other way?"
Liu Ruyi smiled bitterly and shook her head. Although she is a time traveler, with her current strength, she cannot reverse the tide of history. What should happen will still happen!
Even Sun Kewang, who was captured alive by himself, would probably be released by the court, right?
"Brother, those things are not our brother's business to worry about! Between you and me, it's better to hold your own life in your own hands!"
…………
Things went surprisingly smoothly. One day later, Zhang Xianzhong led his adopted son's generals Liu Wenxiu, Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, Lao Huihui, He Yilong, Sweeper King, Hun Tianwang, Yatouzi and nearly a hundred people, shirtless and carrying
Jingji, go to Xiong Wencan in person to plead guilty!
Xiong Wencan was overjoyed. He had already accepted the gift from Zhang Xianzhong. He had a short mouth when eating people and a short hand when taking people. He personally stepped forward to untie Zhang Xianzhong and had a banquet entertained. The guests and hosts were very happy!
Zhang Xianzhong also offered many rare treasures to Xiong Wencan, such as jasper pearls and the like, but he was in a daze and refused to hand over his military power. Moreover, he made a request, which was to garrison troops in Gucheng, Hubei!
Xiong Wencan had already been dazzled by this amazing feat, so he agreed with all his heart...
…………
At the same time, one mile away from the Chinese military tent, in the camp of Marshal Zuo Mengeng, Zuo Liangyu's face was gloomy, and dozens of Zuo Liangyu's generals gathered around him!
"Brothers, you are sitting here now! That is my life and death brother Zuo Liangyu! There are some things I will say in front of you. If anyone dares to spread our conversation outside today, I, Zuo, will
, he must kill all nine of his tribes!" Zuo Liangyu gritted his teeth and said!
Everyone was as silent as a cicada, and they didn’t dare to let out any more air!
Zuo Liangyu was very satisfied with everyone's attitude and nodded to Zuo Mengeng. Zuo Mengeng understood and lowered his voice and said: "Generals and uncles, the thief Xian has a blood feud with us, and we must not let him be so carefree.
, just in case, we need to make plans in advance!"
"What the young marshal said is absolutely true! If you don't do it, we won't stop. Let's just..." A general on the side made a gesture of wiping his neck!
"That's right! His surname is Xiong, he's just a ball! He's just eating it inside and out! Commander, let's eat them all in one pot!"
"…………"
All the generals around are excited!
A stern smile appeared on the corner of Zuo Liangyu's mouth, and he slowly told everyone his plan!
…………
In the evening, Liu Ruyi suddenly received a notification from Zuo Liangyu's personal soldiers that Zuo Liangyu wanted to see him!
Although Liu Ruyi was frightened, she did not dare to neglect, and quickly followed the soldiers to the large tent of Marshal Zuo Mengeng!
This big tent has now been used by Zuo Liangyu. It is slightly smaller than his main tent in the Central Army, but it is even more gorgeous!
Liu Ruyi stepped into the tent, only to see Zuo Liangyu alone in the tent. The original maid and retinue had long since disappeared!
Just when Liu Ruyi was about to salute, Zuo Liangyu quickly came up to him, grabbed Liu Ruyi's arm, and said bitterly: "Brother Liu, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you any credit for your contribution!"
