Although Chuang Wang Li Zicheng was smiling, his sharp eyes were staring straight into Luo Rucai's eyes and asked: "You really don't know? Don't be pretentious!"
Then Luo Rucai burst out laughing "haha" boldly. Seeing this, Luo Rucai couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He thought that Zhang Xianzhong and Xu Yixian might not be able to escape this time, and he himself might be suspected of this.
But he looked as usual, and said carefully with a smile on his face: "I really don't know, and I'm not trying to be pretentious! What are these six words? Please tell me, Brother Li?"
Li Zicheng said: "Whether you really don't know or you pretend not to know, this matter has nothing to do with you. Xu Yixian's 'six-character mantra' to Xian Zhong is 'a black heart, a cruel hand, and a thick face'."
Take a look, he said "black heart", which is worse than "cruel heart". How can you work with such a person for a long time? "
Hearing the last words "We can't work together for a long time", Luo Rucai's face instantly turned very ugly. He was worried that Li Zicheng would take the opportunity to get rid of Zhang Xianzhong and Xu Yixian to avoid future troubles.
Therefore, he wanted to abandon Xu Yixian and only wanted to keep Zhang Xianzhong safe alone. He immediately said: "Ah...ah...it turns out to be this "six-character mantra"!
I seemed to have heard these six words before, but I didn't know that they were the 'six-word mantra'.
However, I heard that these were the six words Xu Zhangfu said to Jingxuan. Jingxuan also laughed and scolded him, but he did not agree with the meaning of Xu Zhangpu's words.
Jingxuan can sometimes be a little bit spicy in his work, but he is also very loyal. To be honest, his heart is not dark, but he is a warm-hearted and cheerful man. "
Li Zicheng also nodded and said: "Of course I know what Jingxuan is like. Now I also sincerely want to help Jingxuan with some people and send him away happily. From then on, we will carry our banner to Huainan or eastern Hubei to contain him. Officers and soldiers.
This is a great thing, so why wouldn’t I do it?
But, Rucai, my good brother, I have a group of civil and military officials who are in charge!
They have some opinions on this matter, and you need to tell them. They still respect you very much, and they will listen to whatever you say.
Remember that words are meant to be happy. If you say a few words of enlightenment to them and persuade them not to hold on to old things, Jingxuan will be fine. "
Luo Rucai understood in her heart that Li Zicheng deliberately put the burden of detaining Zhang Xianzhong on his men, and Liu Zongmin and others were not easy to talk to.
He suddenly felt that his heart was extremely heavy, and he regretted even more that he had brought Zhang Xianzhong into Yushan Village.
Luo Rucai was silent for a moment and then said: "Marshal, my good brother, you are the leader of the entire army. Why don't Jixuan and the others listen to what you say?
I, Luo Rucai, have a lot of weight in their hearts. I know best. Brother Li, why do you deliberately ask me to lose face?
Aren't I afraid of losing face? "
Li Zicheng had a look of helplessness on his face and said to him: "You're a wise man, I'm also very helpless. Jiexuan and the others are very worried about Jingxuan, and they feel sorry for me letting Jingxuan go so easily." I was not very convinced, and there were many discussions and other opinions."
When Luo Rucai saw that Li Zicheng was about to push the burden to Liu Zongmin, he couldn't help but feel panicked. He said anxiously: "My brother Li, I brought Jingxuan to Yushan Village. Since I have become his protector, I must have an explanation.
You...you have to give me this face! "
Seeing how anxious he was, Li Zicheng couldn't help laughing and said: "Cao Cao, I have never seen him so anxious as he is today. It's really interesting!"
He then patted Luo Rucai on the shoulder and said: "How can you be afraid that they won't give you face? You must know that this chess game is not dead. Although it is a little difficult, I believe you will live again as soon as you leave.
Although Jiexuan and the others are haunted by old grudges and can't calm down for a while, and they are talking a lot there, your brother is our general after all, and they will give you this face. "
Luo Rucai heard that Li Zicheng's words seemed a little loose. However, he still wanted a guarantee, so he continued: "King Chuang! There is a saying from ancient times that 'a thousand hammers make a gong, and one hammer sets the tone.' The gong hammer that determines the tone is... It’s in the hands of your Generalissimo!”
Li Zicheng smiled and said to him: "When it's time to set the tone, I will naturally strike the gong for you to set the tone. Go talk to Jixuan, Yigong and the others and come up with a good way to send Jingxuan off as soon as possible."
For the time being, I will accompany Jingxuan for a walk outside so that we can chat. "
Luo Rucai was full of suspicion, but had no choice. He got up and walked towards the main tent, looking for Liu Zongmin, Yuan Zongdi and others to talk about it.
…………
Here, Li Zicheng, the king of intruders, accompanied Zhang Xianzhong and Xu Yixian as they walked around the Yushan Village and looked around.
Accompanied by Niu Jinxing, Li Zicheng took Zhang Xianzhong and Xu Yixian around Yushan Village, while Li Shuangxi and Zhang Dingguo followed behind them to protect their respective coaches.
Zhang Xianzhong was also doubtful about Li Zicheng's attitude. However, since he broke into the Yushan Village, he and Luo Rucai had almost no chance of alone contact. He didn't know if there was any trap hidden in it.
Not to mention that it was Cao Cao and Luo Ru who was not allowed to chat in private. Even though his own military advisor Xu Yixian was close by, he had no chance to chat in secret, which made him even more anxious.
He originally wanted to use words to test what King Chuang was thinking, but after thinking about it again and again, he gave up and complained secretly about Luo Rucai in his heart: "Fuck you, you glazed monkey, no matter how shrewd and slick you are, after all, you still can't do it." He is no match for Li Zicheng. I originally expected you to help me, but I never thought that I would be fooled by you, a bastard!"
Accompanied by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong first looked at the mountains of military supplies and supplies of the Chu army, and then looked at stables, weapons repair stations and other places.
Today's invading army looks like a regular army. Not only are all military supplies complete and sufficient, but the camp is also heavily guarded. Although tens of thousands of people are camped here, there is not a single noise.
Everywhere he went, Zhang Xianzhong was full of compliments. He seemed to be at peace with the situation and carefree, and it was impossible to tell whether he was anxious or uneasy inside.
Everyone passed by the military medical station hosted by the old god Shang Jiong, where there were still many soldiers waiting for diagnosis and treatment outside their tents.
Since everyone was familiar with Shang Shenxian, Chuang Wang Li Zicheng said to Zhang Xianzhong: "Jingxuan, Ziming is here, let's go and see him."
At this time, Shang Jiong had just used warm water to clean the abscesses around the neck of a middle-aged sergeant, and was about to apply a black ointment to the ulcers. However, when he saw Tao Chuang Wang Li Zicheng and a group of people arriving, he immediately stopped. The boss came up to say hello.
Li Zicheng hurriedly signaled him with his hands to continue applying ointment to the wounded soldier, and asked, "What kind of sore is this?"
While applying the ointment, Shang Jiong replied: "The common name of this sore is circumcision sore, which is unpleasant to hear. Once this sore occurs, it will encircle the entire neck. If it is not treated in time, it can be fatal. In terms of toxicity, it's almost like a sore on your back."
Niu Jinxing was very interested in the ointment he used: "What ointment did you apply to him?"
Shang Jiong replied: "We have no other medicine in the army right now. This is the ointment I made with gallnuts. It is very effective in treating this kind of sores and it is a folk remedy."
Li Zicheng smiled and continued: "As the saying goes, 'home remedies can cure serious illnesses.'"
Zhang Xianzhong also said: "Old relative, I only knew you as the Holy Hand of Golden Sores. I didn't expect that you can also rejuvenate all kinds of difficult and miscellaneous diseases, nameless swelling and poison, and cure them with medicine!"
At this time, Shang Jiong had finished applying ointment to the wounded soldier. He spread his hands and said with a smile: "Shang Jiong really doesn't deserve the praise from Zhang Shuai. As for the golden sore, we often encounter some soldiers who died due to injuries. It was heavy, bleeding too much, and living and dying in front of my eyes, which made me hate myself for having no way to survive.
Medical knowledge is infinite, even if Bian Que is resurrected and Hua Tuo is reincarnated, sometimes he is at his wits' end. Shang Jiong really dare not claim to be a holy hand! "
Because there were many wounded soldiers waiting for treatment here, Li Zicheng was very busy, and he was afraid that staying here for a long time would affect his treatment of wounded soldiers, so he led everyone away and walked towards the military tent where he lived.
But when everyone took a few steps, they saw Ji Gui, Luo Rucai's military advisor, walking in a hurry. Li Zicheng and others also stopped and waited for Ji Gui to come.
Ji Gui came to them, first bowed his hands and saluted, and then said: "The general has been talking with Jiexuan and other generals for a long time, but to no avail. Please make a decision as soon as possible, the generalissimo."
Li Zicheng asked: "What do Jiexuan and the others have to say?"
Ji Gui took a breath before replying: "They always keep the past rifts in mind, and are afraid that if Jingshuai says well now, he will change his mind in the future.
They don’t want…”
Li Zicheng hurriedly stopped him with gestures and frowned. He was silent for a moment, then turned back to Zhang Xianzhong and Xu Yixian and said: "Jingxuan, please don't worry, just come with me to the big tent." .”
Zhang Xianzhong and Xu Yixian looked at each other with a hint of worry in their expressions. However, they were trapped in the camp and had no choice but to follow Li Zicheng to the tent.
…………
Although Li Zicheng has been called the "Civil and Military Marshal who advocates righteousness from heaven", the official system in the camp at this time has not yet been established, let alone etiquette and other systems, and even the distinction between superior and inferior is not yet clear.
Although each of them has different status in the military and is divided into high and low positions, they are still relatively casual when discussing military affairs. Even those with lower status dare to speak during discussions.
What's more, today is not a serious discussion, and the content discussed is an issue that everyone is concerned about. Even some generals who shouldn't be here are coming one after another.
When the rebel kings Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong entered the military tent, everyone stood up and saluted.
Zhang Xianzhong entered the tent and before sitting down, he bowed his hands to everyone in the tent and said with a smile: "Good guys, there are so many old acquaintances here! Are you here talking about me, Lao Zhang?"
Okay, guys, let’s continue talking and let me listen too! "
Li Zicheng took Zhang Xianzhong and sat down between Luo Rucai and Song Xiance. He then asked Xu Yixian and Ji Gui to sit on the left side of Song Xiance. After all the generals in the tent were seated again, Li Zicheng asked Song Xiance: "Everyone What are the discussions?"
Song Xiance replied: "Everyone is willing to let Commander-in-Chief go, but we are just worried about some people in the Western Camp. You can ask the general for details."
Luo Rucai sighed and then said: "What you all want is to temporarily keep Military Advisor Xu and Zhang Kewang from the Xiying camp. After staying there for one or two years, Ruxiying truly supports the Generalissimo sincerely. Let them go back to Xiying."
When he said this, his tone was slightly aggravated and he continued: "I don't agree with this, saying that this is taking hostages. They said that these two people twice tried to kill Chuang Wang and eat Chuang Ying, which is really disturbing. worried.
It was for the sake of Commander Jing that he did not kill them, but kept them in the camp and treated them with courtesy. The generals also said, "If General Jing is unwilling to keep Commander Xu and Zhang Kewang, we cannot let General Jing leave."
Generalissimo, what do you think we should do about this? "
Xu Yixian didn't wait for King Chuang Li Zicheng to speak, and immediately stood up, looked at everyone in the tent, and said loudly: "Please let the commander-in-chief quickly go to the Jianghuai area to contain the officers and soldiers, and help King Chuang conquer the country.
I, Mr. Xu, am willing to stay, whether as a hostage or as a servant to King Chuang, but I will never escape privately.
As for General Maotang, you all know his temperament. It is best not to force him to stay. Once he hears this letter, he will definitely flee with more than a thousand cavalry around him. "
Gao Yigong said coldly next to him: "If you're not afraid of him escaping, I'll immediately order three thousand cavalry to chase him and capture him. However, by then everyone will be in disgrace, and even Jingxuan's face will be disgraced. .”
Upon seeing this, Zhang Xianzhong hurriedly said: "Although this kid Kewang has a stubborn temper, for my sake, he will never lead his troops to escape. Since you said you want to keep him, this matter will be easy to handle. I will go there immediately." Just ask him to come."
After he finished speaking, he turned back and winked at Zhang Dingguo and said: "Dingguo, please quickly send a group of reliable soldiers back to the camp on Pegasus to convey my instructions to your elder brother Kewang and tell him to come to Yuzhai quickly without delay! "
Zhang Dingguo had followed Zhang Xianzhong for a long time, and he knew what he meant with just one look. At that moment, he fully understood the meaning of his adoptive father who asked him to summon Zhang Kewang and immediately lead his troops to escape.
At first, he could not help but be slightly stunned, but then he understood that if Zhang Kewang led his army to escape, King Chuang would not be willing to force Cao Cao to fall out, and his foster father's life would not be in danger in Chuang camp, so he responded loudly: "Yes! "
But Zhang Dingguo had just walked to the felt curtain of the military tent when he suddenly heard King Chuang calling from behind: "Ning Yu is back!"
He hurriedly stopped and turned around, looking at King Chuang, waiting for what King Chuang Li Zicheng would say.
The atmosphere in the big tent was already very tense. Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Zicheng's face, wondering what he would say.
Only Luo Ru was calm and calm. He looked at Li Zicheng with a smile and said in his heart: It's time for you to make the final decision!
Li Zicheng's face was serious, and he said in a slightly reproachful tone: "You all only remember the grudges of the past, and you never thought that Xiying would also support me, Li Zicheng, today, almost the same as Cao Ying.
In this case, why still settle those old scores? "
His tone softened slightly and he continued: "From now on, regardless of Cao Ying or Xi Ying, Tongchuang Ying is a family. Brothers should be respectful to each other and live in harmony.
Chuangying is an elder brother, and Xiying and Caoying are younger brothers. In the past, we were not together, and we did not regard me as the master. Commander Xu and nephew Maotang only thought about Xiying. Even if they conspired to harm me and wanted to eat Chuangying, what's the surprise?
However, since they serve me as their master from now on, even Jingxuan will obey my orders. They will never do such things again. If they do such things or have such ideas again, it will be disloyal and unjust. , kill everyone if you get it. "
When King Chuang Li Zicheng said these words, his tone was no longer as serious and cold as before, but it was even more chilling.
He stood up slowly and said firmly: "Let the past be forgotten. No one is allowed to say a word about it in the future. Let it be blown away by the strong wind."
After he said these words, a smile began to appear on his face, and he looked around at the generals in the military tent.
Luo Rucai also nodded lightly with a smile on his face, but secretly said in his heart: "Awesome, so damn awesome!"
Zhang Xianzhong held his long beard in his arms and nodded with a smile on his face. He even said: "Brother Li, these few words of yours have touched our hearts!
Zhangfu, from now on, our people in Xiying are the people of King Chuang. As you are my people, you are also people of King Chuang. You must loyally support King Chuang! "
Xu Yixian quickly added: "Of course, of course."
Li Zicheng was still standing in front of his seat, and he continued to say loudly: "The general and I have agreed to send Jingxuan away to contain the officers and soldiers in the areas of Edong and Jianghuai.
However, he is currently in some difficulties and needs some help. Not to mention that he will serve me as his master from now on. It is my duty to help him get back on his feet.
Even if Jingxuan and I are still doing our own things as before and we are just friends, it is only natural that I help my friend when he is in trouble.
As we move across the world, we should do things with love, justice, and aboveboard! "
Zhang Xianzhong and Cao Cao nodded in agreement and said, "The general is right, he is right."
Niu Jinxing added from the side: "The generalissimo has always been like this!"
