please make me king

Chapter 801 Central Breakthrough
Li Zicheng captured Changge City without bloodshed, and even Luo Rucai was surprised: "'Crossing generals are good at attacking', the reputation is really well-deserved!"

But Li Zicheng himself couldn't laugh.

Everyone is also a "thief", and some people can dominate one side; but they can only be like wild dogs, being chased to the sky and having nowhere to go.

Some people can scare the officers and soldiers away from the city just by their titles; but they need to fight the officers and soldiers desperately to have a chance of survival.

How unfair the heavens are!

When Luo Rucai led the crowd to Changge County, he heard someone yelling: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, dare to surrender? There are only dead county magistrates in the world, and there are no county magistrates who surrender. Please kill me quickly. With all my loyalty!"

"Who is this?" Luo Rucai asked the gloomy Li Zicheng strangely.

"The dog official of Changge County!" Li Zicheng said angrily, "I don't know why King Shun can recruit a group of literati and celebrities casually, but I can't recruit a seventh-rank county magistrate!"

How do I know this?Luo Rucai gave a wry smile when he heard the words, and thought to himself: "Your general" Li Zicheng is somewhat better than me. You recruited Gu Junen as a military adviser very early on. I worked so hard to have a Wang Xuangui to vote for.Let's not talk about the second brother, our elder brother, we are almost the same!

Therefore, Luo Rucai laughed and said, "Left and right have only read two books, what's the air? If the brother is kind and soft, leave it to me to play around and cut him open to see if his mouth is still so stinky!"

Wang Xuangui, the counselor beside Luo Rucai, was startled when he heard the words, but he hesitated to speak, but he heard Li Zicheng, the "Crossing General" laughing: "Don't worry about 'living Cao Cao', I will do it myself!"

Immediately, he ordered: "Where is Liu Zongmin? Strip him off for me, and hang him on the city gate to threaten those who don't return!"

When Luo Rucai heard the words, his pupils shrank, so he stopped talking, just smiled and said: "In this case, I will trouble you brother with the affairs in the city, and I will take a rest before talking about it!"

When Luo Ru had just left Li Zicheng and the others, his counselor Wang Xuangui hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "My lord, why do you need to ruin your reputation? I don't think that 'Crossing General' is a good one. My lord can just stand on the sidelines, why bother?" Tongue?"

"Either don't do something, or do it if you want to do it!" Luo Rucai sneered, "I have known Li Zicheng for a long time, and we know each other's ambitions well. As soon as he pouted his tail, I knew what shit he wanted to do, and he didn't care about me. So is understanding."

"He wants to recruit talents. If I pretend not to stop him, it will make me look deeper, which will easily arouse his vigilance! Don't pretend to respond to paralyze this person!"

At the same time, Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo also remonstrated in the camp: "Uncle, 'Living Cao Cao' Luo Rucai is insidious and cunning, and clearly wants to prevent you from recruiting the Changge county magistrate, how did you do what he wants? "

"Oh!" Li Zicheng slapped his forehead, "Thanks to Buzhi's reminder, I have fallen into this old thief's way! Nephew, since you made up the words, please check and fill in the gaps for me in the future, so as not to have today's incident again." !"

"Uncle, you are good in everything, but you are too honest!" Li Guo agreed after hearing this, and complained a few more words casually.

Then Li Zicheng was amused, and couldn't help shaking his head secretly thinking: "If I can't even fool you, how can I fool the more cunning 'Living Cao Cao' and 'Shun Thieves'?"

Not to mention how Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai plundered and replenished military resources after occupying Changge County, but they ignored one thing.

Zuo Liangyu, the commander-in-chief of Changping, ran all the way for forty miles and retreated to Weichuan. He happened to meet Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan who retreated to Weichuan ahead of schedule.

When the two saw each other, they couldn't help but have mixed feelings.Fortunately, both Fu Zonglong and Zuo Liangyu are quite dull-tempered people.

If it were Zhang Shun who was eccentric, he might say, "Did you also retreat from King Shun? What a coincidence, I did too!"

However, Zuo Liangyu is also a person who cares about face after all, how can he say to Fu Zonglong, governor of Henan Province, "Zuo is brave when he sees the thief and runs away"?
He had no choice but to exaggerate the strength of the "thief" to the utmost, looking for excuses for himself to flee without fighting.

It just so happened that Zhu Dadian, the governor of water transportation and governor of Fengyang, had just arrived.

Then Zuo Liangyu took the opportunity to report: "The military gate is clear, it is not Zuo who is cowardly, and fled from the city. It is really the main force of the bandits, and they are fighting hard. They have to avoid their edge in order to fight again!"

"Hmph!" Henan governor Fu Zonglong snorted coldly, how could he believe him?
He couldn't help saying angrily: "You lost Yuzhou first, Changge second, avoided again, lost again, escaped again, and now you are lying to me again, you can't treat me like a three-year-old two-year-old child! "

"Military Gate Mingjian, Zuo is such a good man, how can he lie to you with false words?" Zuo Liangyu saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly shouted for injustice.

Zhu Dadian really couldn't stand it any longer, and persuaded him: "Now is the time for employing people, Fu Fujun might as well punish him with small punishments and big punishments, and it won't be too late to deal with it slowly in the future!"

The Governor of Water Transport and Governor of Fengyang, Zhu Dadian, happened to be chasing bandits through Henan, and was pulled by Henan Governor Fu Zonglong to fight against the rebels. Fu Zonglong owed him a favor, how could he refute his face?

When Fu Zonglong heard the words, he shouted: "Since the supervisor interceded for you, this matter is fine. If you commit another crime in the future, don't blame our ruthless military law!"

Zuo Liangyu hurriedly bowed and thanked each other after hearing the words.

Don't look at his sincerity and fear on the surface, but he is not worried at all in his heart.

His benefactor is Hou Xun, the current Secretary of the Household Department, who is in charge of most of the court's money, food and military pay, who would dare to offend him?
Even if Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan, is upright, Zhu Dadian, the governor of water transportation and governor of Fengyang, will take this matter for him.

Fu Zonglong saw that he had no choice but to stop, so he asked him why.

That Zuo Liangyu hastily added fuel and vinegar, claiming: "Shun the thief came personally, leading an army of [-], day and night, taking turns to attack the city, so that Yuzhou and Changge couldn't defend!"

Fu Zonglong, Governor of Henan, couldn't help sneering when he heard the words: "Do you really think that this court dare not punish you? If you continue to talk nonsense and miss the military opportunity, I am afraid that Da Situ will not protect you!"

The so-called "Da Situ" in the Ming Dynasty was another name for the Minister of the Household Department, also known as: Land Official, Ji Xiang, Da Si Nong.In fact, it refers to the current Hubu Shangshu Hou Xun.

That Zuo Liangyu was frightened by Fu Zonglong, and then responded with a thick face: "I think the bandits are like this, but in reality there is not much difference."

In ancient times, soldiers were often commanded with golden drums and flags. This is also an important basis for the other party to use this to check the number of the other party.

Therefore, there are often generals who spread multiple banners and act in a bluffing manner.

Since Zuo Liangyu emphasized the banner, he had actually conceded and admitted that the quantity he reported was inaccurate.

Fu Zonglong drove him away with a wave of his hand, and then said to Zhu Dadian: "This guy is not telling the truth. I estimate that the number of thieves is between [-] and [-]. Compared with us, he does not have an advantage."

"If there are more than [-] people in the army, Chen Zongbing Luo Ju, Xuzhou's Deputy Zongbing Ma Yu and eunuch Lu Jiude will have the strength to fight!"

"It's just that Changge is no more than a county seat. Why can we gather so many people? In my opinion, I should continue to attack Changge according to the plan, so as to damage his confidants and make it impossible for the north and the south to respond."

That Changge is between Xinzheng and Xuzhou.If Changge is occupied by officers and soldiers, then Xinzheng and Xuzhou will not be able to respond in time, so it will be easier for officers and soldiers to defeat them one by one.

"In that case, I will order Mou Wenshou, the deputy commander-in-chief, to send troops!" Zhu Dadian nodded when he heard the words, and agreed
