Aspiration

Chapter 13

Zhang Kewang is the adopted son of Zhang Xianzhong. He ranks the eldest among the many adopted sons, and he is also the most vicious and brave.He trained soldiers and horses day and night north of the Han River.

Twenty thousand of Zhang Xianzhong's more than 3 elite soldiers are under his direct control, stationed on the north bank of the Han River in the north of Gucheng.Its purpose is obvious.Although Zhang Xianzhong surrendered, he did not relax his guard against the court at all. Of course, he also knew that the court did not relax his guard against him either.Therefore, he placed the elite soldiers in the north, firstly to prevent sudden attacks by imperial soldiers and horses, and secondly to train troops.

Tonight, Zhang Kewang suddenly came back from the other side of the river and brought all his personal soldiers. These three hundred elites are usually only used when they go into battle to kill the enemy.They gathered urgently back to Gucheng tonight, they thought that something happened to Gucheng.

When Zhang Kewang came to the conference hall, he didn't see Zhang Xianzhong, only Xu Yixian and Zhang Xianzhong's confidant and deputy leader.

He was startled and thought, did something happen to the commander in chief?
Seeing Zhang Kewang's astonished expression, Xu Yixian smiled and said: "Kewang, Commander is fine, sit down. Commander went to see them secretly, and I invited you here to discuss this matter."

Zhang Kewang quickly sat down and listened quietly to what Xu Yixian had to say.

Xu Yixian was born as a scholar, but he was not satisfied with his official career, so he defected to Zhang Xianzhong.This man was superior in strategy, insidious and cunning, and his knowledge was higher than that of Zhang Xianzhong's generals. Zhang Xianzhong relied heavily on him, it could be said that he obeyed his advice, and was respected as a military advisor.He has a very high status in Zhang Xianzhong's team.Xu Yixian's ambition is not small.Back then when he was admitted to Juren, he thought that he would be able to rise to the top, but the court was dark, and after a few years, he gradually found that there was little hope for his official career. Therefore, he secretly harbored hatred, from resentment to hatred, and finally full of anger.Furthermore, after analyzing the current situation, he saw that the Ming Dynasty was in its dying years, and the opportunity to establish a new dynasty had come. Therefore, he risked his life to assist Zhang Xianzhong, hoping to become the prime minister of the new empire one day.

He invited Zhang Kewang to come tonight because he was going to do something big.

"The commander-in-chief is meeting someone now. This person claims to be Li Zicheng's general Tian Jianxiu, but according to my guess, this person must be Li Zicheng himself. Now I invite the young commander-in-chief to ask the young commander-in-chief what his plans are." Xu Yixian was straightforward. asked.

Zhang Kewang was surprised.Li Zicheng came here all the way, did he seek refuge with the commander-in-chief, or did he have other plans?Zhang Kewang didn't understand it for a while, but when he saw Xu Yixian's secretive smile, he immediately understood it again.

"You mean you killed him?"

Standing behind Xu Yixian was Zhang Xianzhong's deputy leader, his brows raised.

"I just want to ask you. I guess the commander-in-chief will miss his old feelings and don't have the heart to do it, especially he will worry about what other people who rebelled with him think of him. Therefore, I would like to ask you to discuss it."

The murderous look on Zhang Kewang's face gradually became stronger, "I listen to the military adviser."

"Okay. Let's make a decision. In the future, if someone is said to be fighting for the world with the general, it must be this person. Now Li Zicheng has thrown himself into the trap. If we don't kill him, will we be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth? Cao Wei, go and kill the general." The commander-in-chief's personal soldiers are assembled, and they will obey the commander-in-chief's command at any time. Commander-in-chief, the people you lead should lie in ambush at the four city gates, and it is enough to leave fifty people by your side. Let's go to the inn."

Xu Yixian had already made up his mind, and the deployment work was soon arranged.

"Just rush in and kill him?"

"No, let's report the military situation with an excuse, and first dismiss the general. We must tell him about this in advance. You know that the general has a temper. If he gets angry, you will be torn to pieces."

The deputy leader of Zhang Xianzhong's bodyguard looked at Zhang Kewang, and a secret smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.He looked at Zhang Kewang's neck, as if he was looking at the place where the knife was cut.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong chatted happily while drinking.I haven't seen you for many years, and today the conversation is speculative again. They are all people who came down from the battlefield, a rare bosom friend.

"Dragon Boat Festival, that's it. I will go out of Gucheng instead, and you will go out of Shangluo Mountain. You are in the north of Han River, and I am in the south. Let's fuck him again. These days, I am too aggrieved. Today's patrol By the way, the magistrate will come tomorrow, and even a small county magistrate will come to blackmail him the day after tomorrow, damn it, they bullied my old Zhang?"

After Zhang Xianzhong finished speaking, he poured a bowl of wine into his mouth, and then sent a large piece of fat to his mouth.

Li Zicheng smiled, he finally landed on the rock, and thought to himself, this visit to Gucheng is really not in vain, Zhang Xianzhong made up his mind here, and then sent people to do work with Luo Rucai. Let's do it.Tomorrow, we will leave for Shangluo Mountain, and the remaining task is to seize the time to recruit and train new recruits.

He was about to speak when a soldier of Zhang Xianzhong hurried in and whispered in Zhang Xianzhong's ear, "The military division has an urgent military report."

"Please." Zhang Xianzhong said carelessly, "Zicheng, I am a hard-working military adviser. Having such a person saves me a lot of worry. You should also have someone who can help you plan things like this. Zong Min is a good fighter. But before he finished speaking, Xu Yixian and Zhang Kewang came in.

They didn't know Li Zicheng.Zhang Kewang glanced at Li Zicheng, then at the young man behind him, thinking, this should be Li Shuangxi, so young.

"What? Kewang, what happened to you?" Zhang Xianzhong was startled, the arrival of the military adviser and the first fierce general must be a big deal.

"Uh, Commander, there is an important military situation that needs to be reported to you. Do you think you should go back to the residence first?" Xu Yixian said.

Li Zicheng was shocked.It is impossible for a battle-tested person not to know the danger he is facing now, and he will not be ignorant of who the purpose of Xiangzhuang's sword dance at the Hongmen Banquet is.He glanced at Li Laiheng.

Li Laiheng was expressionless, he just stared ahead.

It is not difficult to kill the few people in front of him. Even if the guards outside the door are cleaned up, he believes that the nine people he brought can complete the task cleanly.However, the thousands of miles of field marching, there is also a big plan that King Chuang and Zhang Xianzhong discussed.He can't do it yet.

Zhang Xianzhong is a ghost-like character, how can he not know the ghostly ideas in his military adviser's head?He already understood what they meant, and he wanted to stop them, but he was also hesitating, and he was willing to listen to Xu Yixian's opinion.However, let them kill Li Zicheng like this, he has concerns, and he can't bear it. More importantly, he thinks that Li Zicheng can't die, not to mention, he still has plans to recruit Luo Rucai, Lao Huihui and other uprising troops in the future , Killing Li Zicheng now will damage Yu Zhang Xianzhong's reputation, so he has to worry.

He is hesitating.He knew that once he left, even if he didn't agree to kill, Li Zicheng's life would only be half. At that time, Zhang Xianzhong might not be able to control the situation.

"Marshal, let's deliver that thing to your house tomorrow."

that thing?what?Li Laiheng said these words suddenly, Zhang Xianzhong was taken aback for a moment, and soon understood what he meant, thinking, are you reminding me that you want me to take you into the mansion?OK, great idea.Smart ghost, so powerful at such a young age, he will have great promise in the future.

"Brother Li, let's go to bed early tonight. I'll go back and deal with military affairs. Tomorrow, I'd better pick you up at my house. It's not safe here. Yes, yes, let's go to my place together tonight, let's see which son of a bitch dares to move you."

Zhang Xianzhong pretended to think of it suddenly, and it would be safe to bring Li Zicheng by his side.It is up to Xu Yixian to decide whether to live or die. Zhang Xianzhong still thinks it is better to take the initiative.

Zhang Xianzhong sometimes had to deal with his military advisers in this way.

According to historical records, Li Zicheng was placed upstairs by Zhang Xianzhong's eighth concubine.Returning to the true colors of history is a good thing.

Now only Li Laiheng is following Li Zicheng, the previous layout has lost its effectiveness, and there are perfect layouts around this restaurant.There is no other way, Li Laiheng can only let them stand for themselves outside.He followed Li Zicheng to the residence of Vice General Zhang Xianzhong.

Sure enough, Li Zicheng was arranged to live upstairs with the Eighth Aunt.Guards were placed downstairs and upstairs, said to protect King Chuang.
