In the early morning, Zuo Liangyu put on armor on himself and walked outside the tent. On the camp bed behind them, two fair beauties were huddled, it was Mr. Xing and Ms. Gao. The two girls had been played with by Zuo Liangyu all night, and their tears had dried up. Because Zuo was too rough, the two girls suffered a lot of physical and mental torture. There were slaps and slaps everywhere on their faces and bodies. There were traces of kicks, and he no longer had the strength to move.
Zuo Liangyu had a satisfied smile on his face. Ever since he participated in the pursuit of the bandits, he had been traveling around the world with his army all year round. He hadn't returned to his home for an unknown amount of time, and the army was not allowed to carry any The female family members, whose desires had been suppressed for a long time, finally got vented, and their hearts were naturally filled with joy.
He even thought with malice: I heard that Luo Rucai has more than a hundred women. It would be great if I defeated Luo Rucai and arrested all his more than a hundred women. Well, let¡¯s just go after Luo Rucai next.
Zuo Liangyu walked out of the tent and saw He Renlong standing in front of the tent door. The two took a photo, and their expressions on each other were a bit subtle. It all happened because of Yang Sichang. After his letter about changing generals fell into the ears of Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong, the two military bosses were on guard against each other, and naturally there was less look in their eyes. A little closer, a little more vigilant.
Zuo Liangyu hummed: "General He, why are you standing in front of my tent so early in the morning?"
He Renlongpi snorted with a smile and said: "General Zuo is really smart. You were enjoying Zhang Xianzhong's woman in the tent, but you lured his main force to deal with me. What a poisonous trick, I Nibble on the hard walnuts, pinch the soft persimmons, let me bleed, and the enjoyment is yours!"
Zuo Liangyu snorted coldly: "I'm not in the mood to do such a boring thing. I didn't see Zhang Xianzhong when I climbed to the top of the mountain." What he said was actually the truth. When he climbed to the top of the mountain, Zhang Xianzhong made a quick decision and ran away. Zuo Liangyu didn't even let Zuo Liangyu catch a hair. It was precisely because Zhang Xianzhong fled so decisively that he left all the women to Zuo Liangyu.
But how can anyone believe this kind of thing? He Renlong sneered and said: "You mean Zhang Xianzhong is a generous master who is willing to put a cuckold on his head and doesn't even have the guts to yell at you?"
Zuo Liangyu snorted coldly: "I don't care whether you believe it or not, but I believe it anyway."
The two of them had already reached an impasse before they had even spoken two sentences. At this time, Zuo Liangyu's deputy general ran over. He reported seriously: "Report to General. We killed more than 3,500 traitors under Zhang Xianzhong and captured more than 10,000 old and weak women alive. Zhang Xianzhong's general Yang Youxian, the Ten Rebel King, surrendered to us. In addition, They also captured seven of Zhang Xianzhong¡¯s wives and concubines, including the Xing family and the Gao family. They also captured Zhang Xianzhong¡¯s military advisor Pan Duao in the woods.¡±
Zuo Liangyu was very proud after hearing the result. He whistled at He Renlong, obviously to show off.
He Renlong snorted coldly and said: "What's so satisfying about beating a bunch of crooked melons and jujubes? I fought with Zhang Xianzhong's main force and killed more than 1,900 thieves, and also surrendered Zhang Xianzhong's troops. A dragon, Xue Chengcai, and King Shuntian appeared." It turned out that in the battle on the mountain road that night, although Zhang Xianzhong and his four adopted sons led the remnants to escape, Zhang Xianzhong's army still suffered heavy losses. After being bitten by He Renlong's tail, he beat him severely , not only suffered heavy losses, but also two generals surrendered, so He Renlong's results were not great.
The two of them were blowing their beards and staring at each other when they suddenly heard a noise in the distance. After a while, Li Guoqi ran over angrily with a group of his confidants. They saw that Li Guoqi's head was covered with tangled grass and he looked very embarrassed. , said angrily to Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong: "Two generals, how are you dealing with Zhang Xianzhong? You clearly divided the mountain in three directions and surrounded Zhang Xianzhong to death. Why did he suddenly appear at the bottom of the mountain and attack me? The troops attacked fiercely and scattered all my soldiers, causing me to fight hard for most of the night" Of course, he would not say that he actually ran away after being beaten.
Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong felt an unusual feeling in their hearts at the same time. Based on their experience, they could of course see that Li Guoqi had lost the battle, which was why he was so embarrassed and angry. They said to Li Guoqi: "You lost? "
Li Guoqi¡¯s face turned red, but he couldn¡¯t deny such a thing, so he could only say angrily: ¡°You sent Zhang Xianzhong¡¯s main force down the mountain and besieged me from three sides. Can I be undefeated?¡±
Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong looked at each other, then looked at Li Guoqi together, shook their heads and said: "This is impossible! Zhang Xianzhong has fought with us twice, and he is already a lost dog. How can he go down the mountain to defeat you again? And he is surrounded on three sides?" This is simply nonsense We heard shouts of death from the bottom of the mountain last night, and thought it was your men chasing the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong's troops who fled down the mountain."
Li Guoqi said: "Don't pretend to be here! After I was defeated, the sound of killing behind me was still loud. Didn't you come down the mountain to help me?"
? ?Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong looked at each other again. Zuo Liangyu shook his head and said, "I didn't go down the mountain last night." What a joke, he held two beauties and played with each other all night. With such appearance, twenty-four bridges on a moonlit night, Togenzi's thirty-six postures, and Oedo's forty-eight Sanshou, how can you be in the mood to go down the mountain and toss?
He Renlong also shook his head and said: "I didn't go down there either." Ever since he was attacked by Zhang Xianzhong, he had not advanced or retreated on the mountain road, deliberately wasting time, and waited until dawn before going up the mountain. How could he Are you in the mood to go fight with people in the woods again?
When Li Guoqi saw that the two of them didn't seem to be cheating, he couldn't help but feel angry.
Zuo Liangyu took out the tiger charms, engraved gold dragon sticks, command flags, command arrows, money used for divination and other things that he had snatched from Zhang Xianzhong and said: "I beat Zhang Xianzhong so much that he even lost these things" He pointed again. Pointing to the tent, he chuckled and said, "He didn't even have time to take his woman away How could he be in the mood to go down the mountain and fight with you?"
He Renlong also took out a banner with "Eight Kings of Xiying" on it and sneered: "I intercepted more than half of his subordinates on the mountain road. If he can still go down the mountain and cover you on three sides, he will be really amazing. "
Li Guoqi felt confused in his heart: "Then damn, who is beating me in the middle of the night?"
Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong also said: "Yes, it's the middle of the night. Who are you fighting with? Do your fucking eyes grow on your butt? You don't even know who the enemy is?" Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong Long and the two were not as idiots as Li Guoqi. When they heard this, they already felt that something was very wrong, and their eyes began to move rapidly.
Zuo Liangyu shouted: "If you don't accept it at night hurry up and go down the mountain to investigate."
He Renlong was also shouting: "Where's the scout? Damn itwhere's the scout?"
Due to the chaos last night, Ye Bushou and the scouts did not disperse. They all focused on Zhang Xianzhong on the top of the mountain. They were completely unaware of what happened down the mountain. At this time, they hurriedly ran down the mountain. how long. A scout came back and reported: "General, something bad has happenedAgate Mountain is surrounded by Baishui Zhuba's army."
Zuo Liangyu quickly walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. He saw several large flags erected at the foot of the mountain. The flags of Baishui Zhuba, Cao Cao Luo Rucai, Chuang Wang Li Zicheng, Xiying Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong and others were all at the foot of the mountain. They were densely packed everywhere. Head.
Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but gasped: "No. We have fallen into a trap. Zhang Xianzhong's troops on the mountain are just a bait. The real intention of the bandits is to lure us to the mountain, then surround us and catch us all." He said this , sighed again and said: "Zhang Xianzhong is so ruthless. He actually used his wives and concubines as bait"
He Renlong and Li Guoqi turned pale. Seeing the terrifying flags at the bottom of the mountain, they couldn't help but feel cold. They thought at the same time: "It's over. If these thieves join forces and surround us at the top of the mountain, It seems that we have been prepared for a long time. What awaits us at the foot of the mountain must be a life-or-death situation. We must not even think about winning Fortunately, it is Zuo Liangyu who slept with Zhang Xianzhong's woman, not me. As long as there is no knot of death. Qiu, we still have a chance to escape, Zhang Xianzhong will probably just chase Zuo Liangyu to death."
At the foot of the mountain, in the middle of Zhu Bajun.
There was a fierce battle last night, but unfortunately in the end, Zhu Jun was defeated. Due to Hao Yaoqi's vigorous fighting, Ma Xiaotian failed to catch Li Zicheng, and he escaped with dozens of his confidants. Ma Xiaotian judged that Li Zicheng would flee south, so he chased him south. For a while, Li Zicheng unexpectedly did the opposite and ran north into Daba Mountain. Shaanxi was clearly Zhu Ba's territory, but Li Zicheng dared to rush north. He was indeed very courageous. The so-called most dangerous place was the safest place. In the end, he really got rid of Zhu Ba's pursuers.
On the other side, Xu Renjie and Wang Er joined forces to fight against Li Zicheng's Laoba Team. They fought for a long time but failed to annihilate them all. Seeing that it was getting dark, the officers and soldiers on the mountain might discover the situation down the mountain at any time, so Zhu Jun had to let them go. Horse, let Li Zongmin, Li Guo, Tian Jianxiu, and Niu Jinxing take the elite of the Lao Eighth Team to flee to the east.
In short, this was a very imperfect battle. Although Zhu Yuanzhang had calculated all the traps, it was a pity that in the end man's calculations were not as good as God's calculations. The two big bugs, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, finally escaped.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not upset at all. He knew that these two people were not easy to kill. If he could kill them with such a gentle move, they would not be Li Zicheng and Li Xianzhong who had escaped from the imperial court for more than ten years and were still fine. They can only be the likes of Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong, and Gao Yingxiang.
Anyway, the main forces of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have been dispersed by him. They each have only a small number of troops left. Zhu Jun is no longer worried about them sneaking into his territory again. What he needs to consider now is to deal with the officers and soldiers on the top of the mountain. .
The officers and soldiers on the top of the mountain are not easy to deal with. Although the officers and soldiers are veryGeneral Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong each had their own selfish motives, but if they were bent on fighting with him to the death, even Zhu Yuanzhang would have a headache, so he came up with a plan and asked Ma Xiaotian to raise many flags in the army.
Of course, the banner of Baishui Zhuba must be erected. Cao Cao and Luo Rucai are now Zhuba's allies, so there is no problem with the flag on the side. What is interesting is that Chuang Wang Li Zicheng's golden "Chuang" banner and Zhang Xianzhong's tattered "Eight Kings of Xiying" flag were both erected by Zhu Yuanzhang.
When the flag was raised like this, Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong and Li Guoqi were frightened on the mountain. The officers and soldiers did not know that the thieves were having an internal commotion. In their eyes, the Thirty-sixth Battalion and Baishui Zhuba were rogue bandits. It would not be surprising for them to unite to fight at any time. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang set up a flag and blocked the mountain road at the foot of the mountain. All the generals on the mountain were so frightened that they peed their pants. But they didn't know that Zhu Jun didn't want to fight them at all, he was just bluffing here.
Zhu Yuanzhang surrounded the mountain and waved the flag slowly and deliberately. They moved them around to make it look like they were mobilizing troops. With the cover of rocks and woods, Zuo Liangyu and others on the top of the mountain didn't know how many bandits there were at the foot of the mountain. I saw the shadows of some bandit soldiers, but saw the flags moving around, and it seemed that the bandits were assigning tasks to attack the mountain.
Zhu Ba¡¯s flag is in the center, obviously to fight the front; Chuang Wang Li Zicheng¡¯s flag is on the left, Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong¡¯s flag is on the right, Cao Cao and Luo Rucai are obviously staying at the foot of the mountain to support them. A thief's trick. It was actually exactly the same routine as the officers and soldiers used when they attacked the mountain the night before. It simply made Zuo Liangyu on the top of the mountain dumbfounded.
"What should I do?" Li Guoqi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, spinning around.
Zuo Liangyu also found it difficult to handle. He treated Zhang Xianzhong¡¯s wives and concubines like this. Will they let him go? He thought about it. I just feel scared. I quickly wrote a letter. He sent soldiers to send soldiers down the mountain to "Zhang Xianzhong" on the right, and said that he was willing to send his wives and concubines back, and only asked him to let him live.
Unexpectedly, this letter was delivered. He was immediately sent back intact by "Zhang Xianzhong"'s people, who didn't even bother to negotiate with him.
Zuo Liangyu was angry: "Since you don't want me to return them, I will use them as shields!" He sent people to tie up all seven women, and also tied up Zhang Xianzhong's military advisor Pan Duao, and pushed many Zhang Xianzhong The soldiers of the army were sent to serve as cannon fodder, and were held in front of the army, and then they mobilized the army and rushed down to the right.
He Renlong and Li Guoqi followed Zuo Liangyu closely. It seemed that the trick of using people as shields was indeed effective. As expected, "Zhang Xianzhong Army" did not dare to take action and watched Zuo Liangyu and others escape from Agate. Mountain.
Zuo Liangyu did not dare to stay, and led the army to rush eastward. He forgot all about spreading a net on all sides and ambush on all sides. Yang Sichang's plan to suppress bandits had nothing to do with him. It didn't take long for him to escape for dozens of miles. When he reached a safe area, he turned back and said with a proud smile: "Hahahaha, Zhang Xianzhong, if you don't eat the toast, you will eat the fine wine. I will use your woman to make a living." You didn¡¯t want to, and now I¡¯m going to kill you despite your woman, hahaha¡ I¡¯m fine, your woman still belongs to me, and this is so damn happy.¡±
At present, Zuo Liangyu no longer returns to Yang Sichang's network, but leads his headquarters straight to the east. He had narrowly escaped death and cherished his own life extremely. As for disobeying the court's orders, it was not within his scope of consideration.
After scaring Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong, and Li Guoqi away, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the Zhu soldiers to slowly go up the mountain.
At this time, Agate Mountain was in a mess, with traces of brutal battles everywhere. There were more than 10,000 old and weak women on the mountain. These were the family members of Zhang Xianzhong's army. They had been captured by Zuo Liangyu and taken back by the court. There will be no good end, even if they are not killed, they will inevitably be demoted to slavery. Now that they are suddenly rescued by Zhu Jun, they are thankful to God and worship together.
Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to take them in and then sent them back to Shaanxi.
There were many surrendered soldiers on the mountain who had not been killed by the officers and soldiers. These people were soldiers with relatively low loyalty to Zhang Xianzhong. As soon as Zhang Xianzhong escaped, they lost their will to fight and followed the Ten Rebels Wang Yang Youxian, Yilong Xue Chengcai, Shun The people of King He Guoxian surrendered to the officers and soldiers, and were monitored by Zuo Liangyu and put under house arrest in a camp. After Zuo Liangyu escaped, these people regained their freedom, but they also knew that although it was only a short-term betrayal, they had finally betrayed Zhang Xianzhong's army and fell into the arms of the officers and soldiers. Now they had no shame to see Zhang Xianzhong again, so they had to ask Zhang Xianzhong for help. Zhu Yuanzhang surrendered.
Zhu Jun collected the surrendered soldiers and appeased the old and weak women.
After a while, someone came to report that a large number of ordinary people who had been carried around by Li Zicheng were found in a cave. It turns out that after Li Zicheng was defeated, he only took a few dozen of his confidants to escape, and naturally he couldn't take care of his family or anything else Liu Zongmin and others retreated with the Eighth Army and a few remaining soldiers. They hurriedly picked up their families and left with them. However, they could no longer take care of the tens of thousands of people who were following Li Zicheng and had to leave. These people abandoned them.
The common people waited in the cave for the cavalry but did not return, so they had to come out to investigate, and their location was exposed. So Zhu Jun's people came to the door and took all the common people back.
Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally overjoyed to gain tens of thousands of people at once. As long as these people were brought back to Shaanxi, they could become a ready-made labor force. This was a hugely profitable business, but these people had all heard the children's songs compiled by Li Zicheng. If It would be bad if they return to Shaanxi and spread the children's song "not paying for food".
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a long time before finally making a decision. These people must be accepted, but the form of accepting them cannot be the same as that of ordinary people. Simply gather them into one county or several counties, centralize management, strictly control the public opinion of these people, ensure that they do not spread children's songs, and then slowly assimilate them with the peaceful and peaceful life under your rule. It wasn't until they felt that paying taxes under Zhu Ba was better than not paying taxes under Li Zicheng that they were allowed to resume their normal lives.
A series of orders came out of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth, and Zhu Jun escorted tens of thousands of people back to Guangyuan. Yang Sichang, who was chasing after him, heard that Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong, and Li Guoqi, who were in charge of the vanguard, all fled eastward and could no longer maintain the net he had set. He was so angry that he vomited blood and did not respond for a while. Gotta come over.
