Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Wu Shigong looked at Liu Guoneng and Jin Xiong who were kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.As for the leaders of the Peasant Army, Li Zicheng definitely ranked first in Wu Shigong's mind, while other those who could be named in the residence newspaper, Wu Shigong classified them as the second category.And Liu Guoneng, who broke through the sky, is undoubtedly one of them.

Seeing this giant in the world knelt down in front of him, Wu Shigong felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart no matter whether Liu Guoneng was forced to surrender after being cornered.This kneeling ceremony is really a good thing!Wu Shigong was really intoxicated by the pleasure of controlling the life and death of others.

After making way for Liu Guoneng to go east, Xue Yongli sent someone to inform the Yu and Zuo coalition forces that the Runing army would return to encircle and suppress the escaped peasant army, and the peasant army crossing the river would be handed over to the Yu and Zuo coalition forces.

Yu Zilian and Zuo Liangyu had no doubts about this, and they were well aware of the peasant army's ability to flee.Besides, they were also a little happy in their hearts.The Runing Army has already won a great victory in Xiangyang, and has successfully recovered Xiangyang, but the Yu and Zuo coalition forces have not achieved an inch of success.Now there is an opportunity to beat the dog in the water, how could they not seize it?

However, the plan of the Yu and Zuo coalition forces to beat the dogs in the water was not smooth sailing. In order to ensure the smooth crossing of the river, the leaders of the peasant army, such as Ma Shouying, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, all took out their housekeeping possessions. , Left Coalition Army, Xiang Yu, and Left Coalition Army have fully proved the truth that poor bandits should not pursue.

But after all, it was a desperate fight. After the main force of the Peasant Army crossed the river, the intercepting troops in desperate situation had no intention of fighting. ,finally.The main force of the peasant army got out of trouble smoothly.

But even so, the Yu and Zuo coalition forces also captured nearly [-] old, weak, and defeated peasant soldiers left on the east bank of the Han River, and the results of the battle were brilliant.In particular, all the crude and heavy supplies of the peasant army were discarded on the shore, and all of them were captured by the Yu and Zuo coalition forces, which made the coalition army suddenly rich.

This time the peasant army's Xiangyang battle was really unlucky enough.Although they conquered a large city and obtained a huge amount of supplies, they returned them to the Runing Army and the Yu and Zuo Allied Forces.

And Yu Zilian and Zuo Liangyu also quickly expanded their troops by virtue of these captives and captures.Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army has expanded to 5000 people, and this time it is not random expansion with mixed results.They are all recruited veterans and young adults, and the combat effectiveness of the Ruzhou Army has also become a powerful force in the Ming Army.And Zuo Liangyu's department also recovered to over [-], and in terms of numbers, it has basically recovered its previous strength.

However, Liu Guoneng's all the way to the east made Wang Jiazhen, governor of Huguang, a frightened bird.He never expected that such a peasant army would break through the pursuit of the Runing army.Fleeing into the hinterland of Huguang again.

As a result, nearly half of the reinforcements led by Huguang Governor Wang Jiazhen immediately dispersed, and Wang Jiazhen couldn't fight when he saw it.Immediately with King Xiang.Abandoning the troops, all boarded the boat on the Han River again.As a result, the remaining half of the troops also dispersed immediately.

However, after Liu Guoneng's department entered Huang'an County, it stopped.However, the main force of Xue Yongli's Runing Army escorted more than 4 prisoners and camped on the spot [-] miles behind Liu Guoneng's department. The two sides strangely maintained a state of peace and harmony.At this time, in fact, even the most ignorant people can see that there is something tricky in these two armies.But no matter how rich their imaginations were, they would never have imagined that Liu Guoneng had already brought the main leaders of his battalion to Xinyang to meet Wu Shigong in secret.

Wu Shigong ignored Liu Guoneng for a while.First put some psychological pressure on him who was kneeling on the ground, and finally said: "Liu Guoneng, you have court loyalty in your heart, and this official can't let it go. That's it! There are two paths for you to choose."

Liu Guoneng thought to himself: "Isn't it a way of life and a way of death? Why do you like to play this trick?" But even though he was slandering, Liu Guoneng didn't dare to be rude, and could only ask according to the routine: "General Wu, please tell me!"

"One is that our Runing army has taken you in and will make proper arrangements for your subordinates. But you leaders are no longer able to command the army. Take your wealth and come to our Runing to be a rich man."

Liu Guoneng did not expect that the first option Wu Shigong said was like this. If the other is a dead end, Liu Guoneng can only choose this one.But in that case, the future and wealth will all become flowers in the water. At most, they will eat and wait to die under the house arrest of the Runing Army.Liu Guoneng was absolutely unwilling to go this far by himself.

But now he has been completely controlled by the Runing Army, especially his mother and family have fallen into the hands of the Runing Army, which makes Liu Guoneng feel like I am a fish.So before he knew it, Liu Guoneng's nose was a little sour, and he asked hoarsely, "Dare to ask General Wu, what about the other way?"

"Raise your head!" Wu Shigong finally graciously let Liu Guoneng and Jin Xiong stop lying on the ground. "Before I say the second thing, I have a question for you. Are you surrendering to the imperial court? Or are you surrendering to our Runing army?"

Liu Guoneng was taken aback by Wu Shigong's question. Wu Shigong is a court military officer, so what's the difference between surrendering to the court and surrendering to Wu Shigong?But Liu Guoneng is a hero after all, his brain reacted very quickly, so he immediately understood that Wu Shigong wanted him to be loyal only to Wu Shigong.

Therefore, Liu Guoneng immediately replied: "Of course the criminals are loyal to the lord. Only the lord is kind and righteous to save the criminals from the fire and water. If the criminals have two hearts, the sky will be struck by lightning! The sky will be struck by lightning!"

"Don't rush to swear!" Wu Shigong laughed, "Listen to what I have to say first. The second way is that you still lead the Shaanxi bandits eastward into Nanzhili, and I will also give you weapons and personnel. Support, let you recover your strength. However, you have to listen to this officer. When the time is right, this officer will openly recruit you, and at that time, you will be guaranteed a position as the capital. "

As soon as Liu Guoneng heard Wu Shigong's opening words, his whole body was shocked, and he looked up at Wu Shigong in a loss of composure.Following Wu Shigong's words, Liu Guoneng became more and more frightened as he listened to it. In the end, he couldn't help but tremble all over his body.

Liu Guoneng didn't dare to imagine Wu Shigong's Sima Zhao's heart anymore, he just thought: If he became a pawn, and when he was recruited, Wu Shigong would kill people to hide this secret, that would really be a secret retired. (To be continued..)
