Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 204 Luo Rucai's Gift
Get Zhu Changyuan away?

Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

After a few seconds, Sun Kewang said: "Father, this child is really helpless. If you want to invite this plague god away, you may need to rely on the power of the court."

"Exactly!" Li Dingguo also echoed.

"It's okay, you can't count on it anyway." Zhang Xianzhong looked at the two sons with dissatisfaction, but he didn't feel so disgusted in his heart. He thought for a while and said, "Master Tang, Master Tang." He shouted No one responded to the two calls, and then he shouted loudly: "Tang Bingshuo, get out of here."

Outside, Mr. Tang finally ran in in a panic, knelt on the ground when he entered the door, and said, "Forgive me, Commander, the villain just went to the toilet in the latrine."

"Okay, okay, get up quickly." Zhang Xianzhong also stood up from the ground, walked for a while, and said cruelly: "I hope to find a reliable person to follow the master, and bring 2 taels of silver to the court. , Those guys who gave it to the cabinet, see if we can let Zhu Changyuan move somewhere, can't the court keep watching us, let him go to Shaanxi to watch Li Zicheng, can't we?"

"Yes!" Sun Kewang and Master Tang bowed their hands and walked out of the room.

Immediately, only Li Dingguo and Zhang Xianzhong were left in the room.

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Dingguo, there is an important task entrusted to you, maybe you can do it well?"

Li Dingguo gave a military salute, and said: "The father-in-law has orders, and the children will obey them, just ask the commander-in-chief to order!"

Zhang Xianzhong is just 30 years old this year and has adopted four adoptive sons, namely Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi and Liu Wenxiu, but Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang are the only ones he values ​​more.

Li Dingguo is loyal and strategic, he is a great general, Sun Kewang is meticulous and cautious in doing things, but he is too greedy for money and has a little flaw in his character.

So he valued Li Dingguo more than Sun Kewang.

If Zhu Changyuan hadn't called the name himself, Zhang Xianzhong would not have sent Li Dingguo to Zhu Changyuan's subordinates anyway.And up to now, he still can't figure out that his adoptive son is unknown, and he has not achieved any brilliant results after extensive experience, so he is only named for Mao Zhu Changyuan.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it so much, right now I still have to put Zhu Changyuan away as the top priority, as long as Zhu Changyuan is not around, hehe?
Zhang Xianzhong suddenly thought of a sentence in the Three Kingdoms that his master told him before: once the world changes, he will order a general to lead the army of Jingzhou to Xiangwan and Luo, and the general will lead the people of Yizhou to come out of Qinchuan. Do you feed the pot of pulp to welcome the general?If so, hegemony can be achieved!
But if this damned Zhu Changyuan is in the Jingzhou area, Lao Tzu's grand plans for hegemony will be discounted.

"Well!" Zhang Xianzhong was quite satisfied with the performance of his adopted son, and said, "Well, I remember that a group of thieves came from Xichuan a month ago and defected to me. If I remember correctly, there should be more than [-] people. Bar?"

"Yes, Yifu. Xichuan Liu Mingyi led his troops to surrender, and there were more than three thousand troops." Li Dingguo was in charge of recruiting Liu Mingyi when he surrendered, so he knew the matter relatively well.

"That's good. In the afternoon, go and count 1000 of Liu Mingyi's soldiers and horses, and bring them to Xiangyang to send to Zhu Changyuan. Uh, by the way, you also have to stay there and help him fight the bandits!"

"Zhu Changyuan?" Li Dingguo was puzzled.

"Yes." Zhang Xianzhong sighed and said, "Zhu Changyuan came to borrow troops. I dare not, uh, I have to give it to him. I still have to give him this face. But this time you go out to help him fight the bandits, and you must remember Live one thing!"

"Only listen to the orders of the foster father!"

"Hmm!" Zhang Xianzhong thought for a moment, and said, "Be respectful and respectful, and do whatever he asks you to do? But remember one thing, don't take him to fight if you don't need to work hard, but adapt to the situation and do whatever you want. Give him a drag."

"This?" Li Dingguo hesitated for a moment. He is an upright person. This kind of thing is simply too difficult for him, but he dared not disobey Zhang Xianzhong's order, so he said: "If he asks me to fight, I should how?"

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Flicker, just adapt to the situation." After finishing speaking, he thought of Zhu Changyuan's supernatural power today and the explosion that shocked five masters, and said: "Well, you can tell Wenxiu later and let him serve in the army. Choose 300 strong and smart people to serve as guards for this commander!"

300 people?guard?

Li Dingguo thought he heard it wrong, so many personal guards, the emperor's standard is no more than this, right?After thinking about it, he felt relieved, and thought to himself: Maybe Zhu Changyuan really scared his father today.

"Yes, my son will leave!" Li Dingguo walked out of the Marshal's Mansion, went straight to the South Camp, counted a thousand soldiers, brought together ten days' dry rations, and marched towards Xiangyang Mansion where Zhu Changyuan was.

Gucheng is about [-] kilometers away from Xiangyang. It takes half a day to ride a horse, and it takes a day to march with a group of soldiers.

So Li Dingguo set off with the army in the afternoon and did not arrive in Xiangyang City until the next morning.

Zhu Changyuan received the [-] troops sent by Li Dingguo. Looking at the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the army, he greeted the eighteen generations of Zhang Xianzhong's ancestors at that time.

Is this the army, not to mention the old and the young, it’s okay to use a hoe without weapons, are you so wicked, even a [-]-year-old woman and a three-year-old child are sent to me ?

"This is the soldier you sent me?" Zhu Changyuan was old-fashioned, and put on airs in front of Li Dingguo, who was younger than him, and said, "Can this fight?"

Li Dingguo was a little embarrassed, his tall and thin body bowed slightly, and said: "General, these old and weak are family members of the army, they really cannot be separated!"

The fart can't be divided!

Zhu Changyuan looked at these goods and secretly thought that it would be better not to ask Zhang Xianzhong's dignitary to give me these things, and to bring his family with him during the war. Isn't this a refugee?
What is the difference between these people and those soldiers recruited by the old bear?
Zhu Changyuan's head suddenly became dizzy. If I want me to take these soldiers to suppress the bandits, I won't do it, okay?
Forget it, since we're here, let's make use of it. Looking at the more than 1000 people, not all of them are old men and old ladies, at least there are some young people, but they are a little thin because of starvation.

"Okay!" Zhu Changyuan smiled bitterly, and said to Polu, "You count these people, find out the young ones and keep them, and return the rest to Zhang Xianzhong. I don't want it!"

Li Dingguo was standing next to him, and he was a little angry when he heard Zhu Changyuan scolding Zhang Xianzhong. If Zhu Changyuan's domineering arrogance hurt five first-class masters yesterday, plus the instructions of his foster father, he would have started to fight him long ago. people.

A hundred or so young men were selected from the entire army, and they were not the ones with families. The rest were all packed by Zhu Polu and sent back to Zhang Xianzhong.Don't give this old boy any face.

Of course, Li Dingguo wanted to stay.

"General Li!" Zhu Changyuan looked at Li Dingguo, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, and felt ridiculous in his heart, secretly thinking how you will become famous in the world in the future, but now you are still a young boy who is slaughtered by others.

"Don't dare, General Zhu!" Li Dingguo did not dare to neglect Zhang Xianzhong's instructions.

"Come on, I'm a guilty person now. I'm just a soldier. You can call me Zhu Changyuan from now on." Even though Zhu Changyuan said that, how dare Li Dingguo call him that.

"I borrowed a thousand soldiers from Zhang Xianzhong, but this old boy dared to fool me like this, the number of available soldiers he selected was only a hundred." Zhu Changyuan sighed as he spoke, grinning at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Forget it, I don’t want to check with him, since General Li brought people here, how about this, you take your 1000 people to be a vanguard for the subordinates, how about going to the thief’s den in Wolong Mountain to find out what’s true?”

"Hiss~~" Li Dingguo felt like crying at that time, and secretly said a thousand farts, you sent back nine hundred of the thousand, and let me go to suppress the bandits with the remaining 100 people, just kidding.

"By the way, bandits are human beings too. If you can appease them, it's best to make them surrender. If you can't appease them, pass my order, and they will not stay." After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Dingguo who was absent-minded, and said: "No Do you know if General Li can complete this mission?"

"I will do my best!" Li Dingguo said.

"Able is able, and incapable is incapable. The so-called doing one's best is synonymous with perfunctory in my ears." Zhu Changyuan chuckled and said: "If the general thinks he has no such talent, take your people away, if If you think you have this talent, you should be my vanguard and explore the enemy camp."

This sentence angered Li Dingguo.

You can doubt everything about me, except my ability.Li Dingguo was furious in his heart, he put the words Zhang Xianzhong taught him on the horizon, and said immediately: "If I am incompetent, I can only kill myself to be a benevolent ear!"

After finishing speaking, he took a hundred of his subordinates and walked directly to the mountains south of the Han River, where the bandits that Zhu Changyuan wanted to exterminate this time were lairs.

Zhu Changyuan looked at Li Dingguo's back and laughed, and the scheme was successful.

Li Dingguo was the number one general under Zhang Xianzhong. Not only did he stir up prosperity in the entire southwestern region during the Ming Dynasty, but even after the Qing army moved into the Central Plains, he also lost two Qing princes one after another in his hands.

If I remember correctly, Kong Youde, the later king of Dingnan in the Qing Dynasty, died in the hands of this guy.

"Kong Quide was severely beaten by me in the last naval battle, I wonder what that old boy is doing now?" Zhu Changyuan thought of Geng Zhongming's old partner inexplicably in his mind.

No matter, let's think about Li Dingguo first.

For Zhu Changyuan, Li Dingguo is naturally better than death. If Li Dingguo can be tossed to death in advance, it can be regarded as cutting off Zhang Xianzhong's left and right arms. It will undoubtedly be a huge loss for Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion in the future.

It's not that he never thought about recruiting Li Dingguo, but it's unlikely.He is Zhang Xianzhong's adoptive son, and Zhang Xianzhong treats him like his own father, which is too difficult and too expensive.

Zhu Changyuan had to give up even if he didn't want to.

Leave him alone, let him fight, I will talk about it tomorrow, who told Zhang Xianzhong to cheat me, if you cheat me, I will cheat your son, don't blame me for being wicked.

One day later, without any news from Li Dingguo, Zhu Changyuan decided to order soldiers and horses to go to the mountains to see the situation in person. Unexpectedly, before he went out, he received a big gift: Bai Gang sent troops, and there were a thousand elites.

Zhu Changyuan was overjoyed, and received his friend whom he had never met with a high standard. After detailed inquiry, he found out that these soldiers were not Bai Gang's, but belonged to another strange person: Luo Rucai.

　Good night guys, that's all for today
