    Niu Jinxing has not been idle in the past few years, and has also used various means to win over a group of his own team members.  Compared with other people in the Chuang Army, he had studied for several years and knew some principles. Therefore, in the past few years, the people under his rule at least prevented the people from starving to death, and the generals of the Chuang Army who followed him,  He also suddenly became an official at all levels, taking bribes and corruption to make a fortune.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Everyone¡¯s life is getting better, and the thought of fighting no longer is so strong.

    Therefore, when Niu Venus explained the situation, no one responded for a long time.

    Niu Jinxing¡¯s purpose of calling them here is very simple. Now that the Chinese army has appeared at Mengjin Ferry, someone has to stop them.  And according to the current situation, the Chinese army is at least divided into two groups to attack and block Mengjin Ferry. What will happen to Hulao Pass?  Judging from Niu Jinxing's previous order to the Hulao Pass defenders to send reinforcements to the west, Prime Minister Niu clearly had no confidence in winning and only wanted to recruit more people to cut off the rear so that he could escape!

    "Don't behave like this. You all know what will happen if you fall into the hands of the Chinese army. If others don't tell you, who among Wu Sangui and his men is still alive? Yu Guozhen is famous for being mean and ungrateful.  Didn't the Fan family, a big businessman who helped him a lot in the battle with Jianlu, give him an excuse to confiscate his family property! If we fall into his hands, even if we abandon our weapons and surrender at this time, will our property still bear our surname?  ?¡±

    Niu Jinxing¡¯s words finally had some effect.  After a while, one of the generals said: "I am willing to go!"

    "Okay, I will go with you five thousand people, you go there at starry night" Niu Jinxing felt a little hesitant when he saw this person.  But he soon made up his mind.

    This person is not his confidant, but Li Zicheng's. Feihu Liu Tichun is one of Li Zicheng's old generals.  Originally, Li Zicheng came to Beijing and proclaimed himself emperor, and granted him a title, but later this title came to naught when Li Zicheng was defeated.

    After Li Zicheng's death, he was even more marginalized.  Niu Jinxing gave him a false name, but in fact he didn't have many troops at all.

    But thinking about his feelings for Li Zicheng, Niu Jinxing felt.  He will fight to the death with the Chinese army.

    Liu Tichun went out with the order, counted five thousand people, and left Luoyang City as soon as he left the city.  He let out a long breath, as if all the resentment he had accumulated for many years was blown out.

    "General, are wereally going to fight the Chinese army?" the subordinate asked with some fear.

    "Is there water in my head?" Liu Tichun sneered: "Fighting with the Chinese Army? Is there anyone in the world who dares to fight with the Chinese Army? Look at them, they are all whispering to each other, do you know what they are discussing?"

    The subordinates followed what Liu Tichun expected and saw that most of the intruders who followed them out of the city had frowning faces. A few of them were talking in low voices when officers like them looked at them.  They all shut up.

    "Do you know what they are discussing?" Liu Tichun sneered: "Some of them are talking about running away when they see the Chinese army, and some are even talking about taking us down and offering them to the Chinese army to atone for our sins Niu Jinxing every time  They all threatened everyone, saying that our Chuang Army had done too much evil in the early years when we were running rampant across the world. If we fell into Yu Guozhen's hands, we would die a good death. But he didn't want to think about whether today's Chuang Army is still the old brother who followed us around the world in the early years?"

    Hearing this, the general couldn't help but feel sad: "What the general said is that our old brothers are almost dead."

    "So these soldiers don't have many killings in their hands. Even if they fall into the hands of Yu Guozhen, they will serve for two or three years, and then they can be paid with transportation and resettlement allowance and return to their hometown. It is said that Yu Guozhen is still looking for trouble for the allotment of land in his hometown that no longer has any land.  , teach them skills so that they can make a living Grandma, there have been people like Yu Guozhen for a long time, and I will not follow King Chuang to fool around!"

    "Over the years, I have been ostracized by the treacherous dog Niu Jinxing. I have taken it lightly. Although Yu Guozhen killed King Chuang, we all know that it was on the military battlefield. Either you kill me or I kill you. What's more, the real  It was only some farmers who killed King Chuang. At first, someone suggested that Yu Guozhen tell the world about King Chuang's first achievement, but Yu Guozhen did not allow it. Instead, he sewn King Chuang's head and buried it properly. Although Yu Guozhen was not a magnanimous person, he was not that kind either.  A kind of person who kills people indiscriminately. I committed many crimes in my early years and could not escape death, but you brothers cannot follow me and die in vain Therefore, today our enemy is not in Mengjin, but in Luoyang City!"

    "ah!"

    "After a while, restrain the people, and let's explain the matter clearly Just say that we have contacted the Chinese Army, and there is no need to worry about everyone's lives, and everyone has clearly explained the source of the money, and the Chinese Army will not  It will be confiscated."

    Liu Tichun knows so much, he must thank him for reading the People's Livelihood Express and Xinxiang Daily in the past few years.  Because of the rise of Yu Guozhen, these two newspapers have great influence, and because of the influence of these two newspapers, Yu Guozhen??Many decrees were also spread to all directions.

    For example, when it comes to his treatment of prisoners, Yu Guozhen has no strict regulations that prohibit mistreatment of prisoners or even preferential treatment of prisoners. His army is the most professional army of this era, and there is no need to directly transform prisoners into his subordinates, so there is no need for this method.  To win people's hearts.  But Yu Guozhen also had no habit of abusing or killing prisoners - except for enemies who built captives or announced a killing order.  Liu Tichun paid special attention to the treatment of Wu Sangui's subordinates. These were published in two newspapers. Except for some hardcore traitors who were executed, most of them were sentenced to five to ten years of hard labor, while ordinary soldiers were served three years.  The following labor.

    Based on this, Liu Tichun estimated that his subordinates would have to work for less than three years.  Even if he is longer, it will still be ten years of hard labor. As for being executed, Liu Tichun believes that he will never do it.  If he has done meritorious deeds, he may even be punished with only the loss of property, just like those wealthy businessmen who colluded with Jianlu.

    By exchanging some external possessions for your innocence, you don¡¯t have to worry about not being able to sleep when you return to your hometown, whether it¡¯s farming or doing some small business.

    After marching for about ten minutes and already one mile away from Luoyang City, Liu Tichun summoned all the school officials.  After Liu Tichun said that their enemies were in Luoyang, the school officials who were having small discussions were surprised, and then many people started making noises.

    Those making the noise are all Niu Jinxing¡¯s cronies.  Liu Tichun was naturally not polite and directly signaled his own soldiers to chop them down.  The remaining people looked at each other in confusion, and were tempted by Liu Tichun with all kinds of bright futures. They gritted their teeth and made up their minds.

    "Niu Jinxing sent us to die at Mengjin Ferry. After that, he must be preparing to flee south." Liu Tichun glanced at everyone coldly: "If we really want to be able to enjoy a good life after joining the Chinese army, we must make some contributions. Finally, we must make some contributions.  The good work is naturally due to the robbery of Niu Jinxing and the gold and silver he looted!"

    Everyone immediately responded with a roar.

    They didn¡¯t say anything either.  Continuing to march westward, bypassing Luoyang City and arriving at the south of the city, Liu Tichun expected to go south from Longmen Pass when he reached Niu Jinxing.  Therefore, General Ling Hufu, who was obsessed with Niu Jinxing, deceived Longmen Pass and took the five thousand people directly to occupy Longmen Pass.

    At this time, Niu Jinxing was leaving Luoyang City with a hundred carts!

    After finishing the sweep of Mengjin Ferry, Li Mingshan heard the report from the scouts, saying that the city of Luoyang was in chaos, with fires everywhere, and the scouts even sneaked into the city, without anyone seriously stopping them.  This news made Li Mingshan realize.  Niu Jinxing is running away.

    "They are really gutless rats." Li Mingshan laughed loudly: "That's good. When we enter Luoyang City, we have to change our plan to make dumplings stuffed with mutton. This time we will make dumplings stuffed with beef, and we will make cow Venus.  This guy!"

    He just finished speaking.  Freezing rain began to fall from the sky, and pea-like snow seeds fell on the ground, quickly accumulating a layer.  Such weather was originally not conducive to marching, but upon learning that Niu Jinxing was preparing to escape, the morale of the Chinese army was high.  Several battalions were coming up one after another to ask for orders, asking them to gather their horses and go ahead.

    For the sake of safety, Li Mingshan still rejected this request, but sent more scouts and asked them to come back in turn to report the military situation.

    Five hours later, the snow seeds had already turned into heavy snow, and Li Mingshan finally arrived in front of the ancient city of Luoyang.

    As the scout said, Niu Jinxing's troops have withdrawn from Luoyang City, and most of the officials he appointed have also fled.  At the gate of the city, several old men were waiting eagerly. When they saw Li Mingshan's troops coming, they all stepped forward and knelt down.

    "My generals, the intruders in Luoyang City have escaped. On behalf of the 100,000 people in Luoyang City, I am here to welcome you."

    The leader of the group, the old man, looked to be seventy years old. He spoke tremblingly and held a plate in his hand, which contained a cup of hot wine.

    Looking at the glass of wine, Li Mingshan laughed.

    He knew the purpose of these old men. They must have been elected by the city to test the attitude of the Chinese army.

    After getting off the horse, Li Mingshan took the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp. Then he waved to the orderly behind him, took out a few cans from the orderly's bag, and distributed them to the old people.

    "The Chinese Army has military regulations and must not misuse people's property. I could not refuse your kindness just now, so I had to drink your wine. These cans are considered as a return gift. Elders, please rest assured. Our Chinese Army is a benevolent and righteous army under the command of Commander Yu Guozhen.  , I will not dare to harm the people. Li put a sentence here, if any Chinese soldiers dare to break into people's houses and take people's belongings, Li will definitely punish them and will never forgive them!"

    When he said these words, the old people breathed a sigh of relief.  As for the other half, who doesn¡¯t talk a lot these days but have dirty hands that are hard to see?

      As for the Chinese army, as the rumors said, they still respect military discipline on the surface. Even if they are causing trouble, it will not be too violent.

    "Enter the city, send someone to report back to the army, and say that we have recovered Luoyang - no casualties!" Li Mingshan ordered.

    The old people stepped aside and saw the team marching into the city gate.  When they entered the city, I didn't know who was singing a majestic song.  They always maintained an orderly formation, even after entering the city. They did not scatter in all directions, and they did not harass the houses on both sides of the street in the slightest.

    "Tuanzheng, Tuanzheng, the scout is back, and he brought a few people with him, saying they are Liu Tichun's subordinates!" Li Mingshan also entered Luoyang City, but before he could take a closer look at the ancient capital, he heard the news  .
