Chapter 642 Then He Isn't Called Cao Cao
At this moment, everyone has already asked Luo Ruming's nickname is Ziliang. Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Li Yan and others all call him by the nickname, but Li Zi calls him the tenth or younger brother more affectionately.

Li Zicheng toasted to him several times due to his status as King Chuang. Naturally, other people in the banquet also toasted to him, and the atmosphere was very lively.

But when Luo Ruming was drunk, Li Zicheng stopped everyone from persuading him to drink, and he said: "Our old ten's drinking capacity is limited, which is about the same as mine, so don't try to persuade him to drink more." .”

In addition, there are [-] Cao Ying cavalry who followed Luo Ruming to Funiu Mountain, and they are now resting in the military tent near the Kanyun Caotang.

In front of Luo Ruming, Li Zicheng asked Wu Ruyi: "Do the brothers who came with Lao Shi have wine? Who is drinking with them?"

Immediately afterwards, he specifically instructed: "It's been a lot of hard work for them to travel for days, let them have a good rest after lunch!"

The reason why Cao Cao and Luo Rucai sent his cronies Luo Ruming to visit King Chuang from Zaoyang was that he wrote a letter of greeting on the surface. On the one hand, he congratulated Li Zicheng on his victory in Luoyang and his popularity in Henan was growing, and on the other hand, he expressed his longing for King Chuang. Love, thicken feelings.

But everyone has guessed that, as the saying goes, "there are no gift givers without a reason", Cao Cao must have other plans secretly. Everyone guessed that Luo Ruming's visit was all spying, and Cao Cao was waiting for Luo Ruming's return, so he could make a decision.

Luo Ruming deserves to be the confidant of Cao Cao and Luo Rucai. He followed Cao Cao's secret instructions, but he was careful everywhere and paid attention to everything, but he refused to reveal his sincerity in coming to the camp.

Today, from the time he arrived at Funiu Mountain, he felt that everyone in Chuangying was very affectionate to him. I remember the jerky that I have committed in my heart.

What made him particularly satisfied was that Li Zicheng himself did not show the slightest domineering posture due to the recent expansion of his army and power. Instead, he was very affectionate to him, the person who wrote the letter, and he compared this with Zhang Xianzhong in his heart. Than, it feels very different.

Luo Ruming was already a little bit drunk at this time. Seeing that Li Zicheng seldom drank, he tilted his head and asked him: "Brother Li is strong and strong today, and he has made such a good start in Henan. Why do you still drink like he used to?" Drink too much, don't dress well, don't eat well, and don't love beauty?"

Li Zicheng smiled and said to him: "Tenth brother, what you said is wrong. Brother Cao and I are the same flesh and blood people as you, and we all have emotions and desires.

The things you said are loved by everyone in the world, and it’s not that I don’t want them, but I’m afraid. I’m afraid that once I indulge myself and indulge in drinking and sex all day long, I won’t be able to devote myself wholeheartedly to our major affairs.

You know how many times I have stumbled, and a few times I was about to die. We have suffered a lot, but every time because I have never lost heart or indulged myself, I gritted my teeth and did not fall down. It is only through hard work that we are where we are today! "

Luo Ruming admired Li Zicheng in his heart, and said: "With the current strength of King Chuang, are you afraid that you will not be able to stand in Henan? How can you stumble again?"

Li Zicheng said with some self-deprecation: "If you can't even attack Kaifeng, how can you count as a strong army! If I don't suffer any major setbacks in the past two or three years, I can say that I have gained a firm foothold in Henan. "

Luo Ruming nodded, before he knew it, he drank half a glass of rice wine and said, "King Chuang is really too modest. Now, in the eyes of my Cao Ying soldiers, King Chuang is considered to be a firm foothold in Henan, no People like Caoying and Xiying are still running around.”

Li Zicheng answered ingeniously: "I am able to train safely in Funiu Mountain now, mostly thanks to the merits of your Xi and Cao Battalions. If you hadn't dragged Ding Qirui and Zuo Liangyu's army in Huguang to make them If I don't care about Henan, how can I be where I am today.

I often say in my heart: Brother Cao really helped me a lot! "

When Li Zicheng said this, he stood up and filled Luo Ruming's wine glass, and said: "Today, I will offer my tenth brother another glass of wine, and I will ask the tenth brother to drink it up on behalf of Brother Rucai and all the soldiers of Cao Ying."

Seeing King Chuang making a toast, all the people in Kanyun Caotang toasted with them one after another. The banquet was full of good words of praise for Cao Cao and Cao Ying. When someone mentioned Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Zongmin couldn't help but stood up and said to Luo Ruming: "Brother Ziliang , you have to keep a hand with Jingxuan!"

Luo Ruming didn't realize his heart moved when he heard the words, but his mind changed, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "Nothing, nothing. The Xi and Cao camps are water to help fish, and fish to help water. No one can do without the other."

Li Zicheng nodded and said, "Old Ten is quite right. If Xiying and Cao Ying hadn't worked together, they wouldn't have crossed Shu, thus escaped from Yang Sichang's siege, and attacked Xiangyang by surprise.

In all fairness, Jingxuan is indeed superior, compared to me, he is far superior. "

No one said anything, but Liu Zongmin was the first to feel angry, so he asked directly: "Where is he better than you?"

Li Zicheng explained to him patiently: "As far as he and Cao Cao can work together to form a rope, I can't do it.

Brother Cao and I are not only small fellow villagers, but also good brothers who have changed Jin Lanpu. It can be said that we are friends of life and death. Is there anyone in the rebel army who doesn't know?

But Brother Cao can join hands with Jingxuan, but he can't join hands with me. Doesn't it prove that Jingxuan has strengths that are greater than mine? "

Song Xiance glanced at Luo Ruming secretly at this moment, and whispered to King Chuang: "This is a chance, a chance. The chance may come sooner or later, it comes at the right time, you can't force it."

"Hahaha……"

He laughed out loud after saying this, because he wanted to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.

Luo Ruming laughed uncharacteristically at the same time, but he secretly speculated in his heart: "Come on! Come on! If you want to spy on me again, I'm not drunk yet, don't even think about telling what's on my mind. Gentleman If you don't open your mouth, you will not be able to guess the gods!"

…………

After lunch, Chuang Wang Li Zicheng personally sent Luo Ruming to the couch to rest, and went to visit the two hundred cavalry who followed Luo Ruming. Kanyun Thatched Cottage in the west courtyard.

In fact, as early as when Luo Ruming came to submit a letter, he thought that Luo Rucai might intentionally leave Zhang Xianzhong and come to him, but he was not sure.

Li Zicheng tried all kinds of things at the banquet, but Luo Ruming never revealed a single truth, but he really cared about Chuang Wang's current strength, and he was constantly testing Chuang Wang's opinion of Luo Rucai.

Is it really a general greeting?

will not!

Could it be that the cunning Cao Cao sent someone to write a letter to greet him, just to take a leisurely move in the future?
How can it be!

If so, then he wouldn't be called Cao Cao...
