Xingyuan Big Tent is the place where Li Zicheng handles military affairs and discusses affairs. Three Zhang away from the back door is the Back Tent, which is much smaller than the Big Tent.

This is not only the residence of Generalissimo Li Zicheng, but also the place where he listened to Niu Jinxing's lectures and read, and it is also the place where he and his confidants secretly discuss military plans. In addition to a long table and a few wooden chairs, there is only one table with a single leaf. A small bed made of door panels.

After several people sat down humbly with each other, Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile: "Brother Li, you are now a generalissimo, and you have tens of thousands of people under your command. Why do you still live such a miserable life?"

Li Zicheng said with a smile on his face: "Now we are marching and fighting. I can use the door panel to build a bed to rest, as well as a small table and a few chairs. I think it is quite enough. What else do I need?"

Zhang Xianzhong laughed, and said: "Brother Li, you have already built such a great foundation, you are really asking for trouble!"

Luo Rucai also laughed at the side, and said to Zhang Xianzhong: "This is what makes our brother Li different from you and me. He is indeed outstanding among the heroes in today's world."

Hearing Luo Rucai's words, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but secretly wondered in his heart: Cao Cao and Zicheng originally worshiped each other, and they were older than Zicheng, why did he call Zicheng his elder brother?
But suddenly he suddenly realized, and couldn't help cursing secretly: "As expected of Cao Cao, he is really a cunning old fox, he can do anything!"

"The three of us revolted at about the same time."

At this moment Luo Rucai opened his mouth again, only to hear him continue: "But when it comes to friendship, I and Brother Li are worshiping each other, and so are Tong Jingxuan."

As he spoke, he raised his finger to Song Xiance, who was in the same place, and continued: "Brother Xiance is Brother Li's military adviser, and he is also a very good friend with me, and we talk about everything.

We have some private things that are inconvenient to speak in public in the big tent, but we have nothing to say when we get here, but we need to make this clear. After the three of us make it clear, we can avoid the speculation and discussion of the context and military in each battalion. "

Luo Rucai's complexion suddenly became serious, he looked at Zhang Xianzhong and said, "Jingxuan, Brother Li is famous in the prophecy, and he will win the world. A few months ago, all the soldiers respected Brother Li as 'Fengtian Advocating Civil and Military Marshal'.

You must have heard all these things, so we don't need to go into details, but now that you are defeated and voted, you should serve Brother Li as your master, and from now on you and I must wholeheartedly help Brother Li conquer the country.

Regarding this matter, you have to make it clear in front of the Generalissimo. I think Li Ge is also a person with a big heart, and he will never care about past grievances with you. "

Zhang Xianzhong naturally knew in his heart that Luo Rucai must have seen that there were many people in the big tent, and he was afraid that he would lose face, so he invited Li Zicheng and Song Xiance to come to the back tent to talk.

At this moment, what can I do if I want to ask others, Zhang Xianzhong understood quickly and said: "What Brother Cao said is true, what he said is true. I am here this time to serve Brother Li as the main body, and I want to help Brother Li wholeheartedly.

Because I saw a lot of people in the big tent just now, I was afraid that if our old Zhang would speak out.Brother Li refused to take me in, which is not beautiful, that's why I never dared to say these words outright. "

Li Zicheng said to him kindly: "You and I are old brothers, and we work together to overthrow the Ming Dynasty. There is no need to say that you are here to serve me as the master. As long as you are willing to stay and work with everyone, Jingxuan, no matter what you say .

If there is an important matter in the military and the country, and your opinions are right, I will certainly listen to you, but there is no need to say who is in charge. "

Seeing that Zhang Xianzhong finally opened his mouth, Luo Rucai hurriedly said, "Although Brother Li is humble, everyone regards you as the master. This is the same heart and the same reason.

If you don't want Jingxuan to stay, then there's no need to say that, but since you let him stay, from now on he has to act under your banner and follow your banner.

As the saying goes, 'There are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country', so it should be the same in our army! "

Song Xiance also quickly echoed: "What the general said is very true. Please don't be too modest. I think that General Jingxuan must be determined to be like-minded and willing to be a subordinate when he comes to join forces this time.

If you don't want him to serve you as master, how can he stay and do things?

Since the soldiers of the West Camp came to join forces, they should be integrated with the main army. If they could not be integrated, wouldn't it mean that there are troops in the army, each planning their own plans and carrying out their own orders? "

Zhang Xianzhong was startled when he heard the words. He secretly glanced at Luo Rucai, but saw that he was full of joy, nodding frequently, and then saw Li Zicheng also smiling. It was obvious that Song Xiance's words were in line with his intentions, and it was inevitable that it might be By his behest.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help cursing in his heart: "Damn it, this is Xiying, which clearly wants to swallow me!"

Song Xiance didn't care what he was thinking at all, and continued on his own: "Besides, everyone supports Chuang Wang as the main one, not for Chuang Wang's own self-interest, but to conform to the heart of heaven and obey the will of the people.

The general knew very well about offering advice to King Chuang, and General Jingxuan must have heard about it. The ancient book of prophecy clearly stated that "eighteen sons are the master's artifact".

At present, don't look at the turmoil in the world and the rise of heroes, but also see the aspirations of the people in the world, and they should all be on King Chuang alone!

Today, General Jingxuan led the Xiying soldiers to meet up here, and he even made a higher vow to serve King Chuang as the master. It goes without saying that he knows the destiny and the current affairs, and he will be rich and honorable in the future. "

Hearing Song Xiance's words, Zhang Xianzhong felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, but when he thought of his current predicament, he couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart, "How can a person not bow his head when he is under the eaves?"

Although he cursed secretly in his heart: "Your mother's charlatan, spreading rumors to confuse the public!"

But on the surface, it was a different style. Zhang Xianzhong kept in mind Xu Yixian's six-character mantra of "cruel, merciless, and thick-faced", and completely concealed his heart.

As soon as Song Xiance had finished speaking, Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said, "Mr. Song, you are really good at it! Just put those words on my old Zhang's heart!

I have also heard about the fact that you offered me a prophecy to Brother Chuang Wang, even if there is no such thing, I still want to work hard with Brother Li, Brother Li is really a hero of a generation, the leader of all heroes in the world.

If I didn't sincerely serve Brother Li as my master, why did I come here to suffer this crime?

Although we just lost a battle, but the sky is wide and wide, don't I have to come to the king's banner to hide from the wind and rain?

Our old Zhang is not here to help my brother Li fight the country! "

Luo Rucai wanted to win them over, so he said at the right time: "Okay! Jingxuan said well, this is completely sincere!"

Chuang Wang Li Zicheng saw that Zhang Xianzhong gave in to him, he felt very happy in his heart, he said happily: "Of course I can trust Jingxuan, absolutely."

He turned his head and ordered to the soldiers standing outside the tent: "Go, please come over here!"

Old Immortal Shang Jiong was waiting in another nearby tent, and immediately rushed over after hearing the news.

As soon as he saw Shang Jiong, Zhang Xianzhong felt very cordial. He jumped up and grabbed Shang Jiong's shoulder, shook it a few times, and said loudly: "Ah, Zi Ming! My old Zhang saw you, you Didn't you know we were here just now, why did you come out at this time?"

Shang Jiong smiled and said to him: "I know, of course I know. The arrival of Jingshuai is the top priority for us to enter the camp. How could I not get tired of it? I already knew it when it was just dawn. Seeing Jingshuai again, what a surprise! I'm so happy!"

Zhang Xianzhong pretended to be displeased and said, "You're talking nonsense. If you're really happy, why didn't you come to see us earlier?"

But Shang Jiong explained unhurriedly: "It's different now. In the past, the old eighth team didn't have many people and the situation was small, so I often followed Prince Chuang, like a family member.

But now he has several 10 troops under his command, many civil servants and generals, and more affairs in the army, which is quite different from before.

Although I am also an old member of the old eighth team, and my relationship is even more unusual, but after all, I am just a medical doctor accompanying the army, and I don't care about those military and state affairs, so if King Chuang doesn't call, I seldom follow King Chuang.

Just like today when Commander-in-Chief came, King Chuang brought civil servants and generals to welcome him. I, a doctor accompanying the army, was not here, so I didn't go up to greet Commander-in-Chief, but we are really happy about it in our hearts. . "

Zhang Xianzhong laughed loudly, he patted Old Immortal Shang on the shoulder vigorously, and said to him: "What the old Immortal said makes sense, I don't blame you. Quickly show me this arrow creation, thinking of our old friendship, Take out all those miraculous pills of yours for us, and don't give me old Zhang bad medicine in front of King Chuang!"

Everyone laughed out loud after hearing Zhang Xianzhong's words. At the same time, they also heard that Zhang Xianzhong's last sentence was a pun.

While talking here, Shang Jiong took out some tools and started to clean up the arrow wound for Zhang Xianzhong. He saw that the wound was gradually healing, but there was still some remaining pus.

He first used a sharp knife to make another small opening on the wound that had gradually healed, and then gently massaged and squeezed the skin around the arrow sore with his fingers, forcing the remaining pus to flow out from the wound. .

Then I twisted it with a very soft white tissue paper, dipped in a little red medicine, and probed into the wound until it was deep.

At this time, Shang Jiong saw Zhang Xianzhong's brows were slightly wrinkled, and asked, "Jing Shuai, is there some pain?"

Zhang Xianzhong laughed and scolded very disdainfully: "Nonsense! We won't shout if you use a knife!"

Li Zicheng, Cao Cao, and Song Xiance had stopped talking. They were all watching the old god treating Zhang Xianzhong's arrow wound, and the small tent seemed very quiet.

…………

After a while, the old god Shang Jiong treated Zhang Xianzhong's arrow sores, and they got up and went to the Xingyuan big tent. When they were about to reach the back door of the big tent, there were voices of discussion from inside the big tent, and Zhang Xianzhong stood still out of curiosity. When Li Zicheng and Luo Ru saw him like this, they all stopped and listened to the conversation of the people in the big tent.

He only heard the voice of Liu Zongmin, the general sentry of the battalion: "...It's ridiculous to say it, he can make up all the bizarre and absurd nonsense of those officials and gentlemen in the capital!

Recently, an investigator came back from the capital, and only then did he know that the story of how our Generalissimo entered Henan last winter was widely circulated in the teahouses of the capital. "

Pan Duao's voice sounded again: "How did you say that?"

Liu Zongmin's voice continued: "They said that our King Chuang was besieged in the Heyufu Mountains in Padang, and the food, grass and luggage were separated between Chijia Mountain and Han Mountain.

Speaking of our men and horses running out of food, soldiers also surrendered one after another, King Chuang was helpless, he went to the forest twice and wanted to hang himself.

He also said that King Chuang went out of the tent with me for a walk, and only Zhang Nai followed. When he saw a wild temple by the side of the road, King Chuang sighed and said, "In the past, people said that I should have the world. Why don't you make a hexagram in the temple today?" ask?If it is unlucky to make a divination, it means that I should not have the world.Jiexuan, if that's the case, cut off my head and surrender to the army! '

I said, 'Okay, then make a call and ask! ' And so we knelt before the shrine..."

Liu Zongmin's voice continued: "We made three hexagrams in a row with a bamboo stick, and they were all fucking auspicious hexagrams. I jumped up from the ground and shouted to King Chuang, 'Brother Li, I will die even if I die. Follow you to the end!'

Afterwards, I ran back to my tent and killed my two mothers-in-law first. After the soldiers heard about it, they also killed their own mothers-in-law and set fire to the camp. go. "

He then laughed again and continued: "Haha...that's ridiculous, fuck his old lady...When did I, Liu Zongmin, kill my mother-in-law? Could it be that I, Liu Zongmin, had to make an auspicious hexagram before I was willing to follow Chuang Wang to fight the country? ?

Could it be that our King Chuang is so weak and worthless, weeping at every turn, and going to hang himself? "

Liu Zongmin went on to say: "Last year we only had a thousand people, and even one fish could not cover mountains. What the hell are we talking about? Besides, we didn't have enough food, grass, and supplies at that time, so what if we were cut off elsewhere? ?
What a f*cking nonsense! "

Zhang Xianzhong saw that he had almost heard it, so he said to Li Zicheng with a smile: "Brother Li, we didn't know that the capital made up such a story for you, it's really interesting.

Hahaha……"

Li Zicheng also said: "Hmph, apart from bullying our common people, these incompetent dog officials are the most powerful in fighting in the nest. They won't see Yang Sichang take power, even if Yang Sichang dies, he will not let him go.

So I spread rumors that I came to Henan from Sichuan, in order to plan to aggravate the crime of Yang Sichang, an old dog! "

"Ah, so that's the case." Zhang Xianzhong showed a look as if he had been enlightened.

Suddenly, Yuan Zongdi's rough voice came from the Xingyuan big tent: "When they made up this story, they didn't even think about it. At that time, I only had a thousand people in the camp, so how dare they go outside the city of Kuizhou?

That place is full of troops, and it is very lively. What cheap can we pick up when we go there?
Besides, at that time, we were afraid of being eaten by Yang Sichang and Jingxuan, so we kept hiding in the Yunyang Mountains. Today's situation? "

Yuan Zongdi's words sparked hearty laughter in the big tent.

But here Zhang Xianzhong was a little embarrassed, he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Han Ju still has that straightforward temperament, he really speaks like a person. Hahaha..."

He went on to explain: "But, Brother Li, I dare to swear to the sky, I did not intend to harm you when I was in the house and Zhushan.

I don't know which kid spread rumors and caused trouble, which made you misunderstand and became suspicious, and suddenly pulled the team away. I sent Wang'er and Yuan Li to meet you halfway, but you also misunderstood.

Just because of this nonsense, I have been very uncomfortable in my heart. Brother Li, if I, Lao Zhang, have ghosts in my heart, I would never dare to come and vote for you today! "

Li Zicheng also smiled and said: "Don't keep in mind who was right and wrong in the past. Jingxuan, as long as you don't give up today, you are willing to work with me. Even if there was a big misunderstanding in the past, it will be blown away by the strong wind.

Han Ju also spoke without intention, and he just said it as a joke. In fact, he also respects you in his heart. "

He immediately ordered to the soldiers outside the tent: "Hurry up, send the order down, and set up the banquet quickly!"

After speaking, Li Zicheng took Zhang Xianzhong's hand and walked directly into the big tent.

As he walked, he told Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai that he would continue to talk with them after the banquet, and said that for the convenience of meeting them every day, he had arranged several military tents for Zhang Xianzhong in the military camp.

After that, Zhang Xianzhong, Xu Yixian, Zhang Dingguo and others no longer had to go back to Cao Ying, and the rest of the soldiers in the West Camp had to move to camp near his Xingyuan as soon as possible.

When Li Zicheng said this, both Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were shocked, but at this moment they couldn't say anything else, they were still anxious in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do.

Especially Zhang Xianzhong said to himself in his heart: "It's over! Our old man has fallen into his hands!"

He kept giving Luo Rucai winks, but Luo Rucai didn't seem to see him, and didn't pay any attention to him. He just said to Li Zicheng: "This is very good, very good. I guessed that Jingxuan is not an ordinary friend, and he will be treated by Li Zicheng." Brother, your special treatment."

Zhang Xianzhong heard a series of questions in his heart: "Could it be that my father was really sold by the fox Cao Cao?"
