Historically, Prime Minister Hui Deng was defeated by Zuo Liangyu in Sichuan in the 13th year of Chongzhen's reign and surrendered to his command.
In the following years, he continued to fight for Zuo Liangyu, riding in front and behind the horse, and made many contributions in the confrontation between the Zuo army and the Xian thieves, until he finally died of illness.
Although this person doesn't have any great abilities, he is very sincere. If he uses it well, he will really be a 'good dog' that can bite people!
In later generations, Liu Ruyi often liked to read some notebooks and novels from the late Ming Dynasty, and he knew a little about this person. At this time, coupled with his words, he started to worry about it!
Liu Ruyi casually broke off a pine branch from the side and threw it to the left. He took off his sword and threw it to the right. He smiled and said: "Brother Hui, you are a smart man! I can give you two ways to go! It's heaven,
Or hell, brother, or enemy, haha, it depends on your choice!"
Liu Ruyi's voice was not loud, but it conveyed a majesty that was irresistible.
Hui Dengxiang knelt on the ground tremblingly, but his mind was spinning rapidly.
In fact, as early as after Luo Rucai defeated Xiangyouping, he sent someone to inquire about Liu Ruyi's life. This inquiry did not matter, it almost scared Hui Deng to death! Although he is considered brave, he is not a fool! Let
These shrimp soldiers and crab generals under his command went to fight against the colorful stone army that had just defeated Dorgon in Pinggu. Isn’t this the old man drinking arsenic~~~ He thinks that his life is too long!
If it weren't for avoiding Liu Ruyi's sharp edge, why would he prepare to return to Yunyang? He would have followed Zhang Xianzhong into Sichuan!
At this time, looking at Liu Ruyi's relaxed smile, Hui Dengxiang knew in his heart that today would be the most important choice in his life!
If he chooses the right one, he may be rich and prosperous. After all, Liu Ruyi has the nickname "Yuntian Yi"! But if he chooses the wrong one, he may be dead in a matter of seconds!
Liu Ruyi is not in a hurry. He has also been around since childhood. He can understand that for a person like Hui Dengxiang to truly surrender to someone, it requires great courage and courage!
If he surrendered so easily, Liu Ruyi's sword would definitely chop off his head without hesitation!
After all, no one wants to plant a 'ticking time bomb' next to them!
But if you want such a person to truly surrender, you don’t need too many words. What you really need is your own strong strength!
After all, this is no longer the time during the Three Kingdoms period when the reputation of military commanders was more important than credibility!
If you have breasts, you are a mother. Are there many examples of this?
Although the weather was severely cold, Prime Minister Hui Deng was sweating profusely. After a long while, he kowtowed respectfully to Liu Ruyi and knelt down in front of the pine branches tremblingly. "General, if you don't mind me, General,
I, Prime Minister Hui Deng, will sell this life to you from now on! However, these brothers of mine are all from poor backgrounds! I just hope that the general can treat them well!"
Liu Ruyi laughed loudly, stretched out her hand to help Hui Deng up, "It is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes, Hui Jiangjun, what you made today is the wisest choice! Come, prepare a banquet, I want to go back to Brother Hui
Take the wind!"
~~~~~~~
When Prime Minister Hui Deng actually walked into Liu Ruyi's camp, he clearly realized Liu Ruyi's strength!
Although Liu Ruyi's Caishi Army only has less than 4,000 troops, their weapons, equipment, and training level are simply more than ten times higher than his own 'miscellaneous army'. No wonder Luo Ru fell into trouble! This is simply inevitable.
ah!
At the banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
But when it comes to the placement of Prime Minister Hui Deng, Liu Ruyi is a little harsh, "Brother Hui, I know that you are also a hero! But our Caishi Army is far better than other Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers! All official positions
, that requires real swords and real guns to fight for! You are new here, so I can’t make an exception! In this way, I will give you a real job position of 1,000 households, and you can select 1,200 elite people from your brothers, and the rest
Yes, let’s send them away!”
At this time, Prime Minister Hui Deng still had nearly 4,000 troops. Hearing what Liu Ruyi said, he couldn't help but change his face. He hurriedly knelt down and said: "General! I don't care about your position. I don't care about the humble position! But, these brothers are just following me."
Old brothers who have been humbled for many years! If, if we dismiss them like this, they will not be able to survive at all! Maybe, they can only be forced to go down the old road! I beg the general for your permission, humble, humble, willing to use all the family wealth, please
The general accepts it!"
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile, Hui Dengxiang was actually a kind and righteous person! However, everyone has their own way of living, and Liu Ruyi didn't want to kill them all!
"Haha! Brother Hui, your wealth is your property in itself! Since you have surrendered to me, I will definitely not pursue it! However, there is no rule without rules! If you want to support your brothers, it is not impossible.
Way! I will only give you a salary to reorganize a thousand households! And you can hand over the salary of your brothers to me, and I will pay it on your behalf! When will you be promoted to guerrilla with your military exploits?
Lieutenant general, when I can take over your brothers, I will pay you full salary again, how about that?"
Prime Minister Hui Deng was stunned, and it took him a long time to react. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The general's kindness to me is just like being a parent again! Although I, Prime Minister Hui Deng, are not talented, my life will be
After resting for a day in Chitan, Liu Ruyi ordered the army to set off and rushed to Niukou to join Yang Sichang's Middle Route Army!
But this time, Liu Ruyi's number of troops more than doubled, because not only the refugee army of Prime Minister Hui Deng was recruited by Liu Ruyi, but Babu also led more than a thousand chieftain soldiers to follow Liu Ruyi.
Two days later, Liu Ruyi caught up with Yang Sichang's Chinese army.
Yang Sichang did not expect that Liu Ruyi's military strength would actually double in just ten days!
When Liu Ruyi narrated what happened to Yang Sichang, Yang Sichang was even more shocked!
He really couldn't imagine that Luo Rucai and Hui Deng, who had troubled him for many years, were killed and collected by Liu Ruyi. This, this...
"Ruyi, you, you are really..." Yang Sichang patted Liu Ruyi on the shoulder, but couldn't say anything.
Liu Ruyi was amused in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it openly, so she had to change the subject and said: "Mr. Ge, what's the situation with the Zuo Army now? Have you ever caught up with the thief?"
Yang Sichang couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I caught him! It's a pity that he escaped again! They fought at the Dachang Pan Mountain Pass, and both sides suffered heavy casualties! However, Xian Thief gained time, and with most of his troops, he had already entered
Daning! Now, I guess they have entered the hinterland of Sichuan! Hey! This is all my fault! If I had left Ruyi on the west road at that time, I am afraid this would not be the case!"
Liu Ruyi was a little speechless, the thief was no better than others!
Luo Rucai, Hui Dengxiang and others can only be regarded as small bosses at best, but Zhang Xianzhong, this is a real big BOSS!
After more than ten years of fighting, he has accumulated many experienced soldiers under his command. Although he is cruel and tyrannical, he is also very knowledgeable. He has countless good generals under his command, all of whom are loyal and want him to surrender.
How can it be so easy?
Especially now, Li Zicheng is still immersed in cultivation in the mountains. It can be said that Zhang Xianzhong is resisting the banner of the rebel army all over the world!
And Lao Huihui, Ge Liyan, etc., the extremely powerful refugee military headquarters are now attached to his command. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are at the peak of their power!
If he is going to be truly defeated, it can be solved not in one battle, but in two battles!
However, Liu Ruyi couldn't explain these things clearly to Yang Sichang, so he had to explain in a roundabout way: "Mr. Ge, the tendency of offering thieves has become a climate! We can't be too impatient! We can't eat hot tofu in an impatient manner!
Slowly approach and take pictures slowly! Now that the New Year is approaching, we'd better find a prosperous county and let the soldiers have a good New Year first!"
Yang Sichang nodded, "Ruyi, what you said, how can I not know in my heart! What a pity! Thinking of the Holy Lord's instructions, I, I feel uncomfortable! It's the New Year, but we put the thief in
Sichuan! Well, I don’t know, how many civilians have to risk their lives for this! Hey! It’s all my fault for being confused!”
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but sigh. Now that things have come to this, she can only ignore these details!
After all, at this time of year, if the army is forced to move on, even if it catches up with the traitor, the consequences will be even more serious!
These officers and soldiers are also human beings. The only thing they care about is the small interests in their hearts. For those who are celebrating the New Year, they cannot spend time with their wives and children, and it may cost them their own lives. No matter who it is, it doesn’t matter.
It feels so good!
Not to mention, the food and salary of the officers and soldiers has always been a flaw!
However, at this point, Liu Ruyi could not let the army collapse, so he said: "Mr. Ge, we can't say where the Zuo Army is! How about this! There are still more than ten days before the Chinese New Year. Let's hurry up and try to get there before the year.
Fengjie! Let me, Liu Ruyi, provide the money so that the brothers can have a good New Year! As for the rest, it’s not too late for us to discuss it after the New Year!”
Yang Sichang was startled, and he held Liu Ruyi's hand with some emotion, "Ruyi, you, hey! I really want to thank you so much!"
At this time, the Xianthief tribes had already fled into the mountains near Kaixian. Although Zuo Liangyu was pursuing them, he couldn't help but slow down as the New Year approached, and the army stopped in Kaixian to rest!
After more than a month of traveling, the civilian army of the Xianthief tribes were exhausted, exhausted, and rested in a valley on the west side of Kaixian County.
Different from the official army, the fleeing tribes of Xianthief not only have to carry weapons, food and grass, but also many family members of officers and soldiers to flee with the refugee army, a total of 150,000 to 60,000 people!
Fortunately, Zhang Xianzhong has accumulated a lot of savings in Gucheng in recent years, and has been operating in the Badong area for a long time. Otherwise, he would have been unable to bear such a huge consumption!
In the big tent, Zhang Xianzhong frowned.
He is also a little confused about the next step. Whether to continue heading towards the hinterland of central Sichuan or to retreat to his hometown of Shaanxi, Zhang Xianzhong also has no idea in his heart!
As the leader of the world's rebels carrying the banner at this time, one can imagine the pressure he is under!
While he was thinking about it, a soldier suddenly reported outside the tent: "The Eight Great Kings, King Chuang, there is an envoy from King Chuang!"
