    Tens of thousands of troops descended from the mountain. Of course Zhang Xianzhong on the top of the mountain was alert. If those who came down were officers and soldiers, he would have fled long ago and would never have been able to sit still on the top of the mountain.  However, his scouts came to report that the army coming was Zhu Bajun who had passed here a few days ago.  Moreover, he also saw Generalissimo Zhu Bajun, a famous general in the army, so Zhang Xianzhong didn't take it to heart.  Zhu Bajun and Li Zichengjun both came to the foot of the mountain for a walk a few days ago, and it is not unusual for them to come again now.

    Seeing Zhu Bajun camped at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Xianzhong ordered hundreds of soldiers to shout at the foot of the mountain: "Baishui Zhuba, what are you doing crawling around under Agate Mountain?"

    Zuo Liangyu was a little confused by this question and didn't know how to answer.  Xu Renjie hurried over and said: "General, please pass on the order and deal with it this way"

    After a while, hundreds of soldiers from Zuo Liangyu's army raised their heads and shouted at the top of the mountain: "We are here to monitor you, lest you break the rules of the world and sneak into our Zhu Army's territory."

    Zhang Xianzhong was furious and asked someone to reply: "Fuck, I can go wherever I want. You don't need to worry about it."

    The two armies exchanged insults and took a rest.  Zhang Xianzhong was not interested in Zhu Jun at the foot of the mountain. He thought that Zhu Jun had the courage to scold him but not fight with him as before.  In fact, he was the same. It was okay to quarrel with Zhu Jun. If he really wanted to fight, he would never choose it when the officers and soldiers were watching him.

    That evening, Xu Renjie unfolded a map in front of Zuo Liangyu. It turned out to be a topographic map of Agate Mountain, which detailedly marked the troop configuration of Zhang Xianzhong's army and various garrison points on the mountain.  Information such as how many guards were stationed in each direction, the ink was still wet, so it was obviously just painted.

    Zuo Liangyu was quite surprised: "Are you literate?"

    Xu Renjie smiled shyly and said: "The villain used to be a businessman. He did read some books when he was a child. Unfortunately, he failed to pass the imperial examination, so he has only had this little potential. A few years ago, he was coerced by Zhu Jun and became a thief. He had no choice  "

    Zuo Liangyu nodded, knowing clearly in his heart that if Xu Renjie was really a mud-legged man, he came to surrender to the court.  In fact, Zuo Liangyu may not be willing to trust him yet.  But if he is a businessman, it is reasonable for him to be willing to be favored. This kind of gentry and business class have always been supporters of the imperial court.  It is also the target of persecution by thieves and bandits.

    He turned his attention to the map provided by Xu Renjie.  He frowned and looked at it carefully for a while.  He couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart. If this picture was drawn by "Ye Bu Shu", an elite spy of the officers and soldiers, he wouldn't be so surprised.  But this was done by a thief, which is indeed a bit extraordinary. It seems that there are talents among the thieves. He asked: "Is this picture real?"

    Xu Renjie said: "Of course it is true. Zhu Ba and Zhang Xianzhong have an alliance and have a very good relationship. That's why I know the layout of Zhang Xianzhong's army." In fact, he is talking nonsense. Zhu Ba and Zhang Xianzhong have no friendship at all. This picture  It was entirely based on the news sent back by Zhu Jun's spies lurking in Zhang Xianzhong's army.

    Zuo Liangyu believed 70% to 80%, picked up the map and looked at it carefully. After seeing it, he was overjoyed: "I also knew that Agate Mountain was bare and difficult to climb. It turns out there are three ways to go up the mountain. Haha, now it's easy to attack.  It¡¯s not difficult anymore.¡±

    It turns out that although Agate Mountain looks quite unique, it has three ways to go up the mountain: the left, the middle, and the right.  Among them, the front one is very conspicuous and easy to attack.  The left and right roads are relatively hidden and cannot be found without spending some time.  If Zuo Liangyu hadn't gotten this map, even if he could attack the mountain, Zhang Xianzhong could retreat calmly through the other two mountain roads. It would be impossible to surround Zhang Xianzhong on the top of the mountain and kill them all. But with this map, everything would be possible.  It's different. It can be said that it is easy to surround Zhang Xianzhong.

    He was overjoyed and slapped Xu Renjie hard on the shoulder: "Okay, if you can kill Zhang Xianzhong as shown in the picture this time, I will reward you with great merit."

    Xu Renjie¡¯s face showed gratitude: ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to the general¡¯s cultivation.¡±

    That night, after the sky went completely dark, the top of the mountain had become pitch black. Zuo Liangyu¡¯s camp at the foot of the mountain also deliberately did not have torches, making his camp dark.  Under the cover of darkness, Zuo Liangyu ordered the officers and soldiers to take out the mandarin duck jackets packed in their luggage and put them on, and throw all the fake and rotten weapons into the camp.

    The officers and soldiers suddenly transformed from a bandit army into an orthodox officer and soldier.

    Zuo Liangyu's subordinates are all frontier troops from Ningyuan of the Liao Army. Their combat effectiveness is extremely strong. Because they have been fighting against the ferocious Manchu and Qing Tatars for many years, these officers and soldiers have a sense of bravery and bloodiness, which is different from ordinary guards.  There is a world of difference between the soldiers or the elite soldiers in the interior, and they are not inferior to the frontier troops under Cao Wenzhao.

    In fact, this confidant frontier army is Zuo Liangyu¡¯s capital. He relies on this powerful frontier army to be called a famous general and to often disobeyDo whatever you want according to the orders of the imperial court.

    He divided his own frontier troops into two groups, one group was responsible for attacking the mountain from the front, and the other group was responsible for attacking the right side.  Let the Shaanxi soldiers led by He Renlong be responsible for attacking the left.  Li Guoqi's troops were responsible for the response at the foot of the mountain

    After everything was arranged, Xu Renjie led a thousand black pole soldiers at the front to lead the way, and led Zuo Liangyu up the mountain road towards the front of Agate Mountain.  Although it is said to be the right road, it is actually not an easy road. Agate Mountain is originally a barren mountain, and Zhang Xianzhongjun is not in the good mood to make stone steps for this mountain, so this "right road" is actually a relatively wide one.  Shijia Gou, after being stepped on by tens of thousands of pairs of feet of Zhang Xianzhong's army, turned into a road.

    There are protruding rocks everywhere on this road, as well as strange tree roots and strange plants.  Xu Renjie and the thousand black-pole soldiers leading the way all staggered around. Sometimes you would stumble, and sometimes I would fall.  In this way, the marching speed was slowed down invisibly, and these black pole soldiers would also let out a soft cry of "ouch" when they fell, which made Zuo Liangyu's heart rise to his throat, for fear that someone's cry would bring him down.  Zhang Xianzhong's army on the mountain was alarmed.  He called Xu Renjie and cursed in a low voice: "Tell your men to walk properly and don't be so startled."

    Xu Renjie smiled bitterly and said: "General, these soldiers I lead are all miscellaneousas you know. They are just bastards. They have neither ability nor military discipline, and I can't control them."

    Zuo Liangyu frowned and thought, that's true. If the traitor soldiers are all sent out like a mountain, can they still be called traitor soldiers?  I couldn't help but feel unhappy in my heart, and shouted: "Tell your soldiers to get away and lie down on the side of the mountain road. I don't want you to lead the way."

    Xu Renjie was anxious: "Hey. Generalhow can this be done? My credit"

    Zuo Liangyu glanced at him impatiently: "If you want to get credit, you have to be capable. Why should you get credit for leading this rabble? Get out of here, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

    Xu Renjie sighed.  Obediently retreated to the roadside.  The thousand black-pole soldiers fell into confusion.  They were also huddled on the side of the road like him, all of them looking downcast.

    Zuo Liangyu glanced at these soldiers with a sneer and thought: a bunch of rabble.  A thief who can't change his life.

    He led his elite officers and soldiers up the mountain and forgot about Xu Renjie outside Jiuxiaoyun.

    Xu Renjie watched Zuo Liangyu's army climbing up the Shijia ditch, a proud smile flashed at the corner of his mouth. Zuo Liangyu's problem was that he was narrow-minded and arrogant. Zhu Bage was right, as long as  If he made a small move, he would become impatient and drive Xu Renjie away, who was responsible for leading the way. Xu Renjie could take advantage of this opportunity and escape from the surveillance of the officers and soldiers.

    He waved his hand, and the thousand black-rod soldiers behind him who had been dejected just now suddenly became energetic. They connected the black-rod guns in their hands into gun ropes and climbed over the mountain walls on both sides of the road at a very fast speed.  Then he climbed over a cliff that was difficult to cross manually and quietly disappeared into another ravine.  Their movements were so agile, which was completely different from their stumbling movements on the mountain road just now. Zuo Liangyu would definitely be frightened if he saw their current movements.

    After Xu Renjie's troops climbed over two ravines, they came to the front of a cave. They peeled away the weeds covering the cave entrance and got in. They saw that the cave was quietly filled with people. Zhu Yuanzhang was here, sitting next to him.  Wang Er, Ying Shanhong and others, and sitting next to him were Li Zicheng, Li Yan, Liu Zongmin and other generals who broke into the army. When he saw Xu Renjie arriving, a knowing smile flashed across Zhu Yuanzhang's face: "How? Are you ready?"  ?"

    Xu Renjie nodded: "Zuo Liangyu went to bite the bait!"

    Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Zicheng looked at each other and smiled. Zhang Xianzhong's poor naughty child was now used as bait. I wonder if Zhang Xianzhong will be angry to death after hearing the news.

    A few years ago, no one would have dared to blatantly frame another rebel army. Once such an action was taken to betray the army, the reputation in the world would be completely destroyed, and no one would ever do it again.  Come to you.  But the situation has changed in the past few years. The peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty has been developing for eleven years. By this time, several major rebel armies have become established, and each has its own method of recruiting subordinates. For example, Zhu Jun used to eat  The benefits of wearing warm clothes lured people to follow.  Li Zicheng used the children's song "Don't accept food" to recruit soldiers and people.

    "Both of them no longer need to talk about the rules of the world, the reputation of the world, and the like. At this stage, the two heroes have no taboos and can play some dark arts with confidence and boldness.  This first thick black game was played on Zhang Xianzhong, and he deserved his misfortune.

    Li Zicheng smiled and said: "Brother Zhu Ba, since the officers and soldiers have given bait, it's time for us to close the net."

      Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Let's divide it one point. Where do you hit, where will I hit?"

    Li Zicheng rolled his eyes twice and smiled without speaking.  But Li Yan behind him took over and said: "The middle and right flanks of the attack on the mountain are the elite frontier troops brought by Zuo Liangyu. They are very difficult to attack. Our Chuang Army cannot defeat these two groups." In fact, with the Chuang Army's  With strength, it is definitely no problem to challenge Zuo Liangyu alone. As long as the officers and soldiers from other roads do not come to reinforce him, Zuo Liangyu will have no choice but to die. But Zuo Liangyu leads the elite border troops, even if they can be eaten, they can break through.  The army would also suffer huge losses. Of course, Li Zicheng would not foolishly choose to fight Zuo Liangyu, so he would admit his inferiority.

    Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled and said, "Similarly, I can't beat these two groups of people. Let them go up and fight Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong definitely likes to fight with elite border troops. He is very powerful. I am not as good as him." Li Zicheng would consider himself a rookie.  Zhu Yuanzhang can do it too.

    Li Zicheng nodded and said: "What Brother Zhu Ba said is reasonable. I also think Zhang Xianzhong will take the initiative to take on the task of fighting the elite border troops. Who told him to be so powerful?"

    The two of them laughed together and said a few words.  Zhang Xianzhong is about to fight Zuo Liangyu's elite.  Next were He Renlong's troops who were responsible for attacking the left flank, and Li Guoqi's troops who stayed at the foot of the mountain.  Among the two armies, He Renlong's troops led Shaanxi troops, while Li Guoqi's troops were more chaotic. There were Shaanxi troops and some soldiers from various places.

    If you have to compare the strength of the two, He Renlong is relatively stronger.  Li Guoqi's troops were weaker. The soldiers under his command were under different orders and their orders were confused. In this case, whoever chose to deal with He Renlong would suffer.  And deal with Li Guoqi's side.  It will take a lot of advantage.  As for persimmons, everyone likes to choose soft ones. People who like hard persimmons don¡¯t exist in this world.

    Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Zicheng said almost at the same time: "I want Li Guoqi!"

    After finishing speaking.  The two glared at each other again.  He laughed and said: "Brother Chuang Wang (Brother Zhu Ba). Isn't it interesting enough for you to argue with me about this?"

    The two of them have the same movements, the same expressions, and even the same words.  On the contrary, the leaders nearby were stunned.

    Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled and said: "Brother Chuang Wang, I heard that you have a concubine named Xing who was abducted by a leader named Gao Jie, and this Gao Jie is now under the command of He Renlong to avenge his father's murder.  The hatred for seizing your wife is irreconcilable, don¡¯t you want to take revenge?¡±

    He brought up this old incident and told it. Li Zicheng suddenly felt ashamed, and the faces of the leaders of the insurgent army also showed anger. Only Li Yan and Mr. Li could not understand what they were talking about, and his eyes looked blank.  .  It turns out that no one in the army would mention this old incident, and of course Li Yan, who joined the army personally, didn't know about it.

    When Xu Renjie heard the names of Gao Jie and Xing, he remembered the night when he and Xue Hongqi became friends, and couldn't help but blush slightly.

    The atmosphere suddenly became weird. Everyone was thinking: Li Zicheng might be going crazy. Zhu Ba is really good. He really can't pick up any pot. No man can withstand such excitement. Li Zicheng will definitely choose He Renlong.  All the way.

    Unexpectedly, Li Zicheng was neither angry nor angry, and his face was calm.  He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xing Shi and Gao Jie Hey, sooner or later I will tear this pair of bitches into pieces, but not today It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, and there is no rush."

    Hearing what he said, everyone felt cold in their hearts. It was awesome. Li Zicheng was able to calm down like this. He was really extraordinary.

    Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to expect that Li Zicheng wouldn't even accept such a provocation, and had nothing to say for a while.

    "Then the two eldest brothers started to argue, just like bargaining in a vegetable market. They refused to argue and tried to get Li Guoqi's possessions. They argued for several breaths and kept talking.

    This made Zhu Jun's leaders' jaws almost drop. In their minds, Brother Zhu Ba was not a hawker-like person who would not argue endlessly for a small profit. But they didn't know that he was like this today.  What kind of trouble are you making?  Only Xu Renjie had noticed something and stood aside with a smile.

    After arguing for a long time, it seemed that Zhu Yuanzhang was not a person who wanted to fight for petty gains after all, and if he continued to fight, he might miss the opportunity, so he had to sigh and said: "Okay, Brother Chuang Wang, I can't compete with you, Li Guoqi."  Just leave it to you, I¡¯ll deal with He Renlong.¡±

    Li Zicheng secretly rejoiced: Bai Shui Zhu Ba, although you are a tycoon, you are still too young. At critical moments like this, you should fight to the death shamelessly, but you took the initiative to give in, hahaha  , it seems that your future achievements will be very limited. When the time comes, I will come to you again to avenge this scar on me.

    Zhu Yuanzhang was actually secretly happy in his heart: Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng, you will be here soon.You will know that the pot is made of iron.

    He hugged Li Zicheng and said, "Now that the discussion has been decided, I will send troops to deal with He Renlong and wait for the good news that you have defeated Li Guoqi's troops."

    Li Zicheng chuckled and clasped his fists: "I'm also waiting for the good news that Brother Zhu Ba defeated He Renlong."

    Zhu Yuanzhang led the crowd out of the cave and into the ravine. The nearby ravine had been surveyed countless times by Zhu Jun and Chuang Jun. They were extremely familiar with it. After turning left and right in the ravine, after a few turns,  Zhu Jun disappeared from Chuang Jun's sight.

    At this time, Wang Er beside Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Brother Zhu Bage, this is the first time I see you bargaining with people like a market hawker. This is really oh it scares me to death"

    Zhu Yuanzhang smiled lightly and said: "I deliberately quarreled with Li Zicheng just to make him think that the attack on Li Guoqi's troops was something he fought hard for, rather than something I gave to him. Otherwise, he will become suspicious!"

    "What?" Wang Erdaqi asked: "You gave it to him on your own initiative? Why are you suspicious?"

    Xu Renjie laughed, reached out and slapped Wang Er on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, you are still so honest and cute. Don't you understand what Brother Zhu means now? What we are going to fight is not at all  He Renlong Department, what we want to spank is Li Zicheng, hahahaha!"

    Wang Er was really shocked: "Hit Li Zicheng? This is"

    Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled and said: "Zhang Xianzhong on the mountain will contain Zuo Liangyu. Even if Zuo Liangyu can win, he will suffer a lot of damage and will not be able to go down the mountain for a while. He Renlong, who attacked the left road, had already arrived at Chongzhen 8  In the year, Gao Jie was persuaded by me to send out. Now he is less courageous than Zuo Liangyu and easily refuses to fight the rebels. In other words, the only one who really needs to fight is Li Guoqi's troops. Waiting for Li Zicheng and Li Guoqi  When the spanking gets hot, let's give his butt a good lick it will make a difference."
