Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 546 Who Is the Lord or King Li Chuang?
Zuo Liangyu had his own little plan, so he quickly replied to Xiong Wencan, the content was very simple: There is nothing you can do to help, Mr. Xiong should find a way by himself.

After Xiong Wencan got Zuo Liangyu's answer, he was so angry that he cursed Zuo Liangyu as a shameless and treacherous person. He looked like he wanted to eat Zuo Liangyu alive, but now he had no choice. I can't get the General Soldier of Tongguan, so I can only swear bitterly that if I let Xiong escape this difficulty, I will never get along with you, a villain, in the future.

Xiong Wencan had a closed door at Zuo Liangyu, so he could only put all his hopes on He Renlong. After all, He Renlong was known for his bravery and combat skills, and he was known as a lunatic in the world.

This is the real licking of blood on the head of the knife, and it is completely different from the governor who is picking up leaks.

So Xiong Wencan bet on He Renlong, hoping that this lunatic He could give him a little surprise. With the support of Xiong Wencan, a large amount of food and supplies were delivered to He Renlong in full, and He Renlong became a soldier at once. Sufficient in food and high in fighting spirit, he boasted to Xiong Wencan and went to Haikou. One month later, he met Zhang Xianzhong with his head.

In Hubei, on the outskirts of a primeval forest, Zhang Xianzhong looked at Sun Kewang, who had an earthy face, and said, "Let the brothers rest nearby, and don't go any further in. It would be bad if you get lost in this big forest."

"Yes."

Sun Kewang responded, and at this moment Ai Nengqi slowly walked over here with a rabbit in the distance, and approached him and said: "Father, the rabbits here are fat enough, I beat one, it's just right for you!" Please improve your food."

Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said, "Okay, peel the skin and bake it to eat together."

After listening to the words, Ai Nengqi stretched out his hand to let the soldiers go down to clean up the rabbits, and sat in front of Zhang Xianzhong, looked at Zhang Xianzhong and said, "Father, how long are we going to stay in this old forest, we brothers are all alone This one is going crazy, isn't it just He Renlong, no way, foster father, I will lead the soldiers out to fight for a while, so that this guy knows how powerful we are."

Zhang Xianzhong shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "Don't worry, when you are the adoptive father, why have I stayed in Gucheng all these years and did nothing? I have read the Art of War several times, and devoted myself to studying it for two years. Two years ago, my father-in-law summed it up, that we used to be too ignorant in fighting. When we started a war, we just rushed and fought. This is wrong. There is a saying in the art of war. , you need to use your brains more and use your fancy intestines."

After hearing this, Ai Nengqi said with a puzzled face: "Is it so complicated? Isn't war just like two armies cutting each other with knives? Whoever has the most people will win the victory? Brother once fought with As I said, the brave man wins the battle between the two armies!"

Zhang Xianzhong sighed after hearing Ai Nengqi's words, and he didn't want to talk to Ai Nengqi anymore. This guy is too stupid, it's not worth his time to tell him the art of war, just tell him how to fight and how to charge. This guy has been a pioneer officer who is not afraid of death all his life.

Soon Sun Kewang came back, Liu Wenxiu also organized the army and came to Zhang Xianzhong, the three surrounded Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong looked at the three, raised a fire in the middle and said: "Where is Luo Rucai?"

After hearing this, Sun Kewang said: "Report to foster father, Luo Rucai said that he can arrive in Fang County in three days."

"Fang County?"

Zhang Xianzhong took out a military map from his pocket and looked at it and said, "It's not very far from us, just in time, you send someone to inform Luo Rucai that we will meet in Fang County."

After hearing this, Sun Kewang stood up, and soon Zhang Xianzhong had scouts running out to convey the military situation.

Zhang Xianzhong took the map and said, "Fang County, Fang County, okay, here is a treasure land of geomantic omen, and it is a good place for He Renlong's grave."

After hearing this, Ai Nengqi said: "Father, you mean to fight He Renlong here?"

Zhang Xianzhong said: "That's right, after chasing us all the way, it's time to let him know that we are not easy to mess with."

Seeing Zhang Xianzhong's lofty ambition, Ai Nengqi and Liu Wenxiu were also full of strength. The foster father said yes, and he would definitely do it, especially the foster father who was not lustful but was doing business.

Three days later, Fang County.

Zhang Xianzhong hugged Luo Rucai who was in military uniform, and Luo Rucai also opened his mouth and said: "Eighth King, our brothers have finally met each other. I have been wanting to kill my brother all these years."

After Zhang Xianzhong heard this, he looked at Luo Rucai and said, "I heard that these years have been very rewarding. How is it? How many people have you brought this time?"

Luo Rucai laughed and said, "What's the matter with nourishment or not? This time we brought all 8000 people from our family, and they all listened to the command of the Eight Great Kings."

Zhang Xianzhong grinned when he heard this: "Okay, 8000 people, not a lot, and you said you didn't make a fortune."

After saying this, Luo Rucai said: "That can't compare to the Eight Great Kings. It is said that the Great King already has 2 people in his hands?"

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Not many, not many, 2 people, all young and strong, with good fighting power."

"Hahaha, okay, okay, with our 3 people, why worry about nothing happening."

Luo Rucai laughed out loud, Zhang Xianzhong held Luo Rucai at this moment and said: "Listen, brothers, this is our brother, and he will be our deputy commander from now on, and his position is only under me."

When Luo Rucai heard this, he raised his hand and said, "Brothers, the Eighth King treats us well, and is willing to work hard for the Eighth King."

After hearing Luo Rucai's words, everyone shouted together: "Eight Great Kings, Eight Great Kings, Eight Great Kings."

Seeing this, Zhang Xianzhong laughed loudly and said: "From now on, we will all be brothers, and I dare not say anything else with someone like Zhang. If I, Mr. Zhang, eat with one mouthful, all the brothers will eat with one mouthful."

"Oh, oh!"

After hearing this, a group of people raised their hands and shouted, the scene was extremely enthusiastic.

Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, the two prominent gangsters united for a while, and their power suddenly increased. That night, the two armies were reintegrated, and Zhang Xianzhong held a grand welcome ceremony for Luo Rucai in Fang County.

At the welcome ceremony, the two exchanged cups and chatted freely about the events of the past years. When they talked about the happy part, they naturally laughed heartily. When they talked about the sad part, Zhang Xianzhong also showed the open-mindedness of letting the past go with him.

Luo Rucai looked at Zhang Xianzhong and said, "Eight Great Kings, what shall we do next?"

Zhang Xianzhong heard the words and said: "First of all, of course He Renlong's pursuers are dealt with. This clingy guy has chased me all the way. I must make him look good."

After hearing this, Luo Ru pondered for a while and said, "Eight Great Kings, He Renlong is nothing to worry about, but are the Eight Great Kings going to continue to develop in Hubei?"

When Zhang Xianzhong heard that Luo Rucai was going to discuss the future direction of the team with him, he smiled and said, "What do you think, brother Luo?"

Luo Rucai said: "Eight Great Kings, I don't think Hubei is a place to stay for a long time."

"Why? Do you think I can't deal with these incompetent Ming officers and soldiers?"

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Luo Rucai, and Luo Rucai said, "Your Majesty, if it's just the incompetent officers and soldiers of Daming, I won't say anything. The most important thing here is not the officers and soldiers of Daming, but Lan Tian. Lan Tian has been recharging his energy for so many years. Seeing the great changes in the world, he must not sit idly by, and he does not want to confront Daming head-on, so Henan, Hebei, Shandong, and Lantian in the east will not be easily captured, while Hubei is far away from the northwest border, and the Ming court is beyond the reach of these places. It's what Lantian loves."

"If the Eight Great Kings have been active in Hubei and use Hubei as their base, they will have to face Lantian head-on sooner or later. With our current strength, if we fight against Lantian, I am afraid we will lose very badly. Therefore, the Eight Great Kings, I do not recommend that we use Hubei as a base."

After Zhang Xianzhong heard this, he looked at Luo Rucai and said, "Go on, if you have any thoughts, say it at once."

After hearing this, Luo Ru said: "Eight Great Kings, I think we should unite with King Li Chuang of Shanxi. We are all old brothers. Together, we have great strength. Even if Lan Tian wants to move us, we must weigh it carefully. , what does Your Majesty think?"

After hearing what Luo Rucai said, Zhang Xianzhong did not express his opinion directly. Instead, he took a sip from the wine glass in front of him and said, "Brother Luo is very reasonable. If I join forces with King Li Chuang, we will naturally be stronger, but there is a Brother Luo can solve the small problems, so I am naturally willing to join forces with Li Chuang and fight the whole family."

"Oh, the Eight Great Kings ask for instructions, as long as I can share the worries of the Eight Great Kings, I will be so heartbroken that I will not hesitate to die."

"Okay, okay, Brother Luo is indeed the most loyal person in my rebel army, so I will ask him to answer a small question for me. If I join forces with King Li Chuang, who will be the leader and who will be the deputy?"

"Um?!"

After hearing this, Luo Rucai's eyes widened. This question is very difficult to answer. If you don't make trouble, you will lose your head. Who is the leader and who is the deputy? They are all tigers descending from the mountain. It is even more difficult for you to make the two of them subdue each other than to kill them.

Moreover, there are many conflicts between the two people. Let alone the last time, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng jointly attacked Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown AH Fengyang. It turned out that the reason was to rob Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral tomb, Huangjue Temple, and the ritual vessels and eunuchs left behind.

The two parted ways at the moment, and such things were not uncommon. The conflict between the two was even deeper than the conflict between them and the Ming Dynasty. It would be as difficult as heaven to unite them.

Moreover, the strategic goals of the two are also different. Zhang Xianzhong wanted to enter Sichuan with all his heart and become his king of Sichuan, while Li Zicheng had the whole world in his heart, and he wanted to hit BJ with all his heart and take the old man Chongzhen from the throne. Pull it down and ask: Why did your mother lay off the staff back then? I did a good job as a courier. If it weren't for your layoffs, would I have rebelled?I'll just ask you, you won't regret it now.

To be honest, Li Zicheng's feelings for Chongzhen are quite complicated. He is not so eager to want Chongzhen to die, and even has the idea of ​​reconciling with Chongzhen in the later stage. When he was under the city, he once wanted Chongzhen to make him king. He and Chongzhen managed their respective territories, and in order to show sincerity, Li Zicheng even proposed a condition. If Chongzhen was willing to make him the Northwest King, he could lead his troops to help Daming fight Build slaves.

Of course, there are other political purposes for Li Zicheng to do this, but in general, Li Zicheng is not the kind of impatient to kill Chongzhen, but his ultimate goal must be to replace Chongzhen.

So if one wants to live in peace, and the other wants to capture the capital, these two people can't play together, not to mention that both of them are heroes of the moment. The possibility of Yayu letting Chongzhen and Li Chaosheng join forces is very slim.

Luo Rucai was stopped by Zhang Xianzhong's question. He didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only drink in embarrassment. At this time, Zhang Xianzhong said: "Brother Luo is actually right. Hubei is not a place to stay for a long time, so my goal is Sichuan."

"Sichuan!"

Luo Rucai was a little surprised, and Zhang Xianzhong said: "That's right, Sichuan, the land of abundance, can be attacked in advance and defended in retreat. As long as we occupy Sichuan, relying on the hardships and dangers of the Shu Road, no matter if it is Daming or Lantian, if we want to attack Sichuan It is even more difficult, but as long as we hold on to the pass of Sichuan, we can stand on our own as kings in Sichuan if we retreat, and we can see the world as a tiger if we advance, this is the foundation of real hegemony, a foundation given by God."

Luo Ru frowned slightly after hearing this and said, "There is Qin Liangyu in Shu."

"Hehehe, it's just an old woman, how long can she live? As long as we want to beat her, we can kill her even if we use people."

Zhang Xianzhong said disdainfully, Luo Rucai listened to this and pondered for a moment and said: "What the Eight Great Kings said is true, so we will aim at the middle of Sichuan, and the subordinates will go through fire and water as the Eight Great Kings, and will not hesitate to do so."

"Hahaha, easy to say, easy to say."

The two have unified their minds, and the next thing to do is to deal with He Renlong.

Luo Rucai said to Zhang Xianzhong: "Eight Great Kings, how should we deal with He Renlong?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong smiled slightly and said: "He Renlong is indeed a brave man. I fought against him in northern Shaanxi back then, and I know him well. He is brave in battle, and he often takes the lead in fighting Fighting is completely reckless, so people call him madman, so when dealing with this person, you should not use force, but use strategy to win."

"Conspiracy?"

When Luo Rucai heard the words, he cupped his hands and said, "Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

Luo Rucai said with a smile: "In recent years, I have often read military books. The military books say to show the enemy's weakness and lure the enemy to go deep."

"what for?"

Luo Rucai was puzzled, Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said: "Traveling the horse to report, He Renlong's army has approached Fang County, brother Luo, you can lead your troops to challenge tomorrow, but remember, you can only lose but not win."

"Can only be defeated, not won?"

Luo Rucai looked puzzled, Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said: "You just act according to the plan, and the rest of the king has his own clever plan."

"Yes."

Luo Rucai got up and drank a glass of wine and said: "I won't drink too much when I'm humble, I'll go down and get ready."

Zhang Xianzhong nodded with a smile, and after Luo Rucai left, Zhang Xianzhong took out a book and wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in four large characters.
