Zhang Xianzhong was very depressed. He finally escaped from Zhang Lei's clutches, but he didn't expect that he would encounter Lu Xiangsheng during his escape. It was true that misfortunes never come singly. He had no intention of fighting, so he could only fight and leave. When he got here, Seeing that he was about to get away, he didn't expect that another group of people rushed down. When he took a closer look, it was none other than Zhang Lei and others who defeated him. Zhang Xianzhong immediately felt very desperate. , It is truly a blessing that never comes in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.
He wanted to escape even more. Before Zhang Lei arrived, he immediately asked all the people around him to gather. He rode on his horse, waved the long sword in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, listen to my order, go southeast Break out in the southeast direction. This is a military order. If anyone disobeys the military order, he will be punished according to military law and beheaded in public."
So the soldiers next to him rushed in the direction he said, and the soldiers in other directions consciously retreated to him, forming a powerful force. Seeing that Zhang Lei was about to rush down, Zhang Xianzhong felt that something was wrong. Without further delay, he immediately grabbed the horse's belly and rushed forward first. He waved a long sword in his hand and killed several people in a short time. He was really brave enough to be worthy of all men.
In the southeast, that's where Zhang Lei's soldiers and Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers meet. The defense force is the weakest. It's also the only place where he can choose to break through. As long as Zhang Lei and the others get here, get out of this place. , Zhang Xianzhong was able to break away from Lu Xiangsheng's control and enter the mountains. Once in the mountains and forests, no matter how powerful Zhang Lei and Lu Xiangsheng were, they would not be able to find him.
Seeing Zhang Xianzhong preparing to leave, Zhang Lei felt a little anxious. After spending so much effort, if you still can¡¯t love Zhang Xianzhong enough to stay, then it¡¯s really not worth it. So he accelerated his pace even more. Some people even fell down because of the uneven road.
"Everyone, shoot quickly, don't let him run away." After rushing down the hillside, Zhang Lei immediately said, so while running, everyone raised the three-eyed gun in their hands, so the shooting speed was very slow. , but it can be considered to have a slight effect, but these effects can basically be ignored. There were so many people in Zhang Xianzhong's place, and he sacrificed speed to shoot. Zhang Lei would probably regret this decision until his intestines turn blue when he thinks about it. The consequence of this was that they did not kill many people, but they distanced themselves from Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong and his soldiers were much faster on horseback than running, and now Zhang Lei's soldiers were even faster. You have to stop and shoot before you can continue running, and the time wasted is extraordinary.
After a while, Zhang Lei immediately realized how wrong his decision was, so he shouted: "Don't shoot yet. Wait until we catch up, otherwise they will run away."
Lu Xiangsheng naturally discovered this problem. So they quickly sent reinforcements, and they also rode horses to stop Zhang Xianzhong, but after all, Zhang Xianzhong and hundreds of his men gradually broke away from the main team and fled deep into the mountains. Lu Xiangsheng's The cavalry naturally refused to give up. They also pursued Zhang Xianzhong and the others in the direction where they disappeared, and disappeared into the mountains and forests. Zhang Lei could only hate his parents for missing two legs and unable to keep up with the horse riding speed, so he watched helplessly as they left.
But the matter is not over yet, because there are still a large number of soldiers left by Zhang Xianzhong and the others here. These soldiers seem a little disoriented and have low morale because of Zhang Xianzhong's departure. Of course, what's the point of staying here after the coach has left? But they had no intention of staying because there was no way to escape. Now Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers and Zhang Lei's soldiers had surrounded them.
I don¡¯t know who surrendered first. When a person dropped the spear in his hand, this action spread to all the rebel teams in an instant like an infectious disease. They all dropped their weapons one after another. on the ground and raised his hands. Lu Xiangsheng shouted: "Everyone, please stop killing people and surround them all."
Zhang Lei knew that this was his old habit again. According to Zhang Lei's own opinion, he would have liked to kill all these people. He now understands Bai Qikeng more than a thousand years ago. The act of killing hundreds of thousands of prisoners. These people were simply killed and criticized and released, and they were worried that they would come back. It would be a waste of food to keep them around, so Bai Qi simply killed them directly. Once it was clear, All the scorn and cold looks from the world can be borne by one person, and what can be saved may be an army or a country, which is definitely a good deal.
"Master Lu, let him run away again. Alas, it's such a pity. If we can kill Zhang Xianzhong, we will definitely have removed a serious problem. We still didn't plan enough." Zhang Lei came to Lu Xiangsheng Next to him, he said with great regret.
Lu Xiangsheng alsoVery emotional, his original plan was to cut off Zhang Xianzhong's way first, and then attack from both sides with Zhang Lei, so that even if Zhang Xianzhong had wings, he would not be able to fly out. He shook his head and sighed: "Oh, it's a pity, but my people have already chased us, so it's not completely hopeless."
Regarding this issue, Zhang Lei had no interest in discussing it at all. For him, the past is the past, and there is no need to assume anymore. He changed the subject and asked: "Master Lu, what should we do with these people who surrendered?" ?Kill or let go?"
"I neither intend to kill people nor release them. I can't do such things as killing prisoners. No matter what, they are still subjects of the Ming Dynasty. Since they have surrendered, there is no such thing as A greater punishment is necessary. But they all followed Zhang Xianzhong to fight in various places. If they were released here, they would not know who they would go to, so they cannot be released, Master Zhang. I do have an idea, what do you think we can recruit these people ourselves? They have already fought in the war and can be regarded as qualified soldiers. They do not need to undergo the most basic training. They can be used immediately after being recruited. , don¡¯t you think this is good?¡± Lu Xiangsheng said.
Zhang Lei nodded and said: "I admit that what you said makes a little sense, but I am still a little worried about the fact that these people are Zhang Xianzhong's loyal subordinates. If we recruit them, there will still be hidden dangers." Big one, what if Zhang Xianzhong sends someone to contact them again and instigates them to rebel?"
"This problem is not impossible, but I have always felt that they actually had no other purpose in following Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion, which was just to have food and clothing, and to be able to have their own land and live a stable life. I can give them all. They, and they are real, are not just an illusory promise like Zhang Xianzhong and others. And with our original soldiers living with them, I believe that over time they will be loyal to us, and people's hearts are actually They are not that bad. The reason why they did stupid things is that I always want to believe that they were deceived by lies," Lu Xiangsheng said.
Zhang Lei said with a smile: "Since you said so, then you can recruit them. I have already recruited 50,000 people in Chao County. It will take a long time to train those people, so I will I won¡¯t steal it from you.¡±
"That's best. I just need to replenish my troops. There are thousands of them ready here. It would be great if you collect them for me." Lu Xiangsheng said.
So Lu Xiangsheng incorporated all these people into his own team, and Zhang Lei took the people back to Chaoxian County.
Let's talk about Zhang Xianzhong. He escaped from the encirclement with his own soldiers. Seeing that Zhang Lei's team did not pursue him, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although he lost a large part of his troops, he still felt very happy because the first First, he escaped by himself and did not have to face Zhang Lei's terrifying attack. Second, he came with a group of personal soldiers. This was his guarantee, the guarantee that allowed them to continue to survive and develop.
After a while, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind, and was a little surprised that someone could chase him to this place. He looked at the people around him, and they were all still in shock. This was not a war situation at all, so he made a prompt decision and ordered to continue moving forward. These were his last resources, so he could save as little as he could.
Zhang Xianzhong went all the way to Sichuan. It is still empty now, and Sichuan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If he can occupy Sichuan, he can also build Sichuan into his own stronghold. After slow development, it is also possible to conquer the world. of.
But soon Zhang Xianzhong wanted to cry. He really wanted to cry. He had finally abandoned so many people and escaped with these people to save his life. However, he did not expect that in Xinyang he met Zuo Liangyu who came to chase and intercept him. , he was shocked. How could a person like himself be Zuo Liangyu's opponent? I'm afraid they will all be wiped out by him in less than a day. So he changed his mind and walked north. After escaping Zuo Liangyu's pursuit, he was ready to seek refuge with Li Zicheng. Now he had nothing to think about. Finding a place to settle down was the right path.
Li Zicheng was very happy to learn that Zhang Xianzhong had brought his most elite cavalry to join him. Of course, he also had his own plans. These hundreds of people also had to eat, drink, and eat, so they couldn't feed them in vain, so Li Zicheng wanted to Kill Zhang Xianzhong and take all these cavalry as his own. Zhang Xianzhong is also a remarkable figure. After being chased and intercepted several times, he escaped. He even became aware of Li Zicheng's conspiracy and finally escaped into Sichuan with the help of Luo Rucai. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
