After Li Zicheng led the army to set off, Luo Rucai quickly started to arrange.

Among the rebels, Luo Rucai's influence is extraordinary. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zijinliang convened various rebels. When the 36th Battalion was formed in Shanxi, Luo Rucai was one of the main leaders. At that time, Li Zicheng was still a lieutenant under Gao Yingxiang. , There is no chance to keep pace with Luo Rucai.

The relationship between Luo Rucai and Gao Yingxiang was very good. After Zijin Liang was captured by Jiangning Camp and died in the capital, Luo Rucai strongly supported Gao Yingxiang, and replaced Zijin Liang as the leader of various rebel forces.

Judging from the development of the rebel army, those who can serve as the general leaders of the rebel army are the most powerful. Needless to say, Zijin Liang in front of the rebel army has an absolute advantage in strength. He hosted a meeting of all the leaders of the rebel army in Shanxi , everyone was convinced, Gao Yingxiang's strength should not be underestimated, and with Luo Rucai's full support, the problem is not too big. Although Zhang Xianzhong, who is still strong in this process, is not satisfied, he dare not say so. [

In the later period of Gao Yingxiang's leadership, the strength of the rebel army was greatly weakened. Almost every time they fought against the Jiangning camp, the rebel army would suffer heavy blows, endangering their lives. Gao Yingxiang's leadership ability was unprecedentedly questioned. After being stationed in Shaanxi and Su Tiancheng became the governor of Shaanxi, Gao Yingxiang made a desperate decision to attack the Jiangning Camp.

Gao Yingxiang failed and was captured, which dealt a heavier blow to the rebels.

As Gao Yingxiang's nephew, Li Zicheng had shown his edge early on, and his influence among the rebels even surpassed that of Gao Yingxiang, but Luo Rucai didn't like Li Zicheng.

Superficial cooperation does not mean inner surrender.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have a common characteristic, that is, their tough personalities.He is vicious, to put it bluntly, when killing people is like killing pigs, he doesn't blink at all, no matter whether the opponent is his enemy or his subordinate, as long as it blocks the way forward.Remove without mercy.

Doing big things requires such a character. Weakness cannot become a big weapon, but if you want to become famous and truly successful, there is another very important factor, that is, to have the overall situation in mind and be able to recognize the situation clearly.Being able to make accurate judgments and arrangements is not a quality that can be possessed casually, and has a lot to do with personal self-cultivation and knowledge.

It is a pity that neither Li Zicheng nor Zhang Xianzhong has such qualities.

Zhang Xianzhong had already been captured by the Jiangning camp and beheaded. Let's not discuss it for the time being. Let's just say that Li Zicheng said that he was doing justice for the sky.The same is true for the requirements, you must be sympathetic to the common people, but Luo Rucai, who is always by Li Zicheng's side, knows everything, and Li Zicheng's halo cannot "confuse" him.

Stealing from the rich, helping the poor, and doing justice for the heavens are just a cover for the rebellion of the rebels. In the beginning, they must have rebelled because they could not survive, and they rebelled to survive.But once there is a little bit of climate, the true nature is exposed, robbing houses, robbing houses, not giving in to victory, not saving each other in defeat, desperately plundering money and beautiful women, and caring about their own enjoyment.Totally rabble.

The rebel army fell into such a vicious circle in the early days, and suffered repeated defeats. Afterwards, Ziliang, Gao Yingxiang and others realized this.So he began to rectify the rebel army, trying to change the perception of many leaders, and Luo Rucai also secretly helped. Unfortunately, this idea is too good.

Compared with Zijinliang and Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng is superior in that he sees problems very accurately, knows where the crux of the rebel army is, and also defines the direction of future development. When it is time to make a decision, he does not hesitate. But Luo Rucai concluded that Li Zicheng also Can't make a climate.

Li Zicheng believes in domineering, those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish, coerce everyone to obey his command, and kill those who are not convinced. After so many years of rebellion, Li Zicheng has plundered countless wealth, and he is not short of money. He didn't really care about the life and death of the common people at all. The reason why many rules were thrown out was because the rebel army was in danger and it was difficult to maintain.Li Zicheng's law is so strict that it is close to love. If you steal a chicken, you will be beheaded.

Li Zicheng's biggest weakness is that he is not righteous. He uses his face forward instead of his face backward to cross rivers and demolish bridges. This kind of character is fatal, and no one will give up.

Luo Rucai had a different idea. Although the rebellion was for the sake of living a good life and being able to enjoy it, he always thought about how to keep such a good life. With an army in his hand, the army can continue to win and maintain it. Days can go on.

Therefore, after Li Zicheng became Chuang Wang, Luo Rucai abandoned the previous suspicions and cooperated with him.

It's a pity that after a period of time, Luo Ru gradually saw Li Zicheng's "nature" clearly. He was always worried that if the rebel army really won, with a bigger territory, it would be difficult for him to keep his life.

The rebel army can be maintained, and many leaders can work hard. They have a direct relationship with Luo Rucai. Luo Rucai can coordinate the relationship very well, can appease people from all walks of life, and knead everyone together. The most commendable thing is Luo Rucai's money distribution. Willing to suffer losses, take care of all aspects, everyone rebelled, only for money and beautiful women, you talk to them so much, the devil will ignore you, many leaders cooperate with Luo Rucai to attack the city, no matter how many casualties, no matter how many troops are sent, Luo Rucai can do it Distribute money impartially, so he is the core figure who can unite the rebel army.

Luo Rucai is called Cao Cao, and he is cunning and resourceful. He will not reveal these thoughts, but he has been looking for opportunities to leave Li Zicheng. He feels that continuing to assist Li Zicheng is tantamount to accelerating himself time of death.

Comparing the development of the rebel army with personal life, Luo Rucai still values ​​the latter. [

This time Li Zicheng led an army to attack the capital city of Kuizhou. Luo Rucai was not optimistic about it, but in front of the fanatical Li Zicheng, he would not clearly object. You can't compare to others, you just can't compare, looking forward to a crucial battle to turn things around, unless God is really on your side.

Luo Rucai still has his own judgment. Even if Li Zicheng succeeds in this move, it is impossible for Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning camp to stop. They can fight you to the death. That is the time for Li Zicheng's downfall.

It takes an opportunity to leave Li Zicheng, and this time the opportunity has come.

When Li Zicheng decided to lead an army of [-] to attack the capital of Kuizhou, Luo Rucai insisted on staying. This time, Li Zicheng was moved and agreed to several requests made by Luo Rucai.

The former old troops stayed this time. These are Luo Rucai's cronies, and some sergeants with strong combat effectiveness also stayed. After all, they have to face the main force of the Jiangning battalion. A lot of money has been paid, all of which are sufficient. The [-] army can last for several years relying on this money.

All the conditions are met.

Of course Luo Rucai would not stay and wait to die. The rebels were already afraid of the Jiangning battalion. This time, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion were several times larger than the rebels. I am afraid that the rebels would collapse without a real confrontation between the two sides.

That's why Luo Ru is leaving.

He will take a lot of money and food, and his [-] core troops, escape from Bazhou, directly enter Songpanwei, and then enter the territory of Duo Gandusi from Songpanwei. There is almost no place to stand, and I can only go to Duo Gandusi to see if there is a way out. This is also a gamble.

Most of the [-] sergeants deployed in the south are Li Zicheng's troops, and it is impossible and impossible to take them away.

On the seventh day of August, Li Zicheng led the army away for two days.

Many officers who stayed behind entered the room, and a dozen of them were controlled by Luo Rucai's personal soldiers as soon as they entered the room. The rest of the officers looked at Luo Rucai, dumbfounded.

Looking at the crowd, Luo Rucai spoke with a livid face.

"Brothers, I decided to withdraw, along the Long'an Mansion, into Songpan, and even into the area under the jurisdiction of Duogan Dusi. This is a more difficult road, and most people dare not take it. Why? To do this, I don’t want to explain, you make a choice now, those who are willing to follow me, stand to the right, those who don’t want to follow me, stand to the left, I will give you some money, and you go find your own way. "

Everyone knows Luo Rucai's loyalty to his subordinates.

Soon, hundreds of people took their positions, most of them followed Luo Rucai, and there were only a few who were unwilling to leave, just a few people.

A smile appeared on Luo Rucai's face, and he looked at the dozen or so people under control, all of whom were Li Zicheng's confidantes.

"Brothers, I'm sorry, you are all the confidantes of King Chuang, and you will never follow me. After you go underground, don't blame me. I will burn paper for you every year during Qingming."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the soldiers quickly escorted these people out.

In less than a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen heads were served.

The few people who didn't want to follow Luo Rucai were so frightened that their bodies trembled and their faces turned pale.

Luo Rucai looked at them and spoke slowly. [

"Don't be nervous. I mean what I say. You don't want to live like this. It's understandable. It's your choice. You've been with me for so many years, and you want to put down the butcher's knife. I'll do it for you, but you have to remember that today The matter is absolutely confidential, if there is even the slightest leak, I will not only kill you, but also your whole family."

After saying these words, Luo Ru waved his hand, and the personal soldiers brought up several plates, all of which were gold.

"300 taels of gold for each of you. This gold is enough for you to support your family and live a good life." It is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m to read.
