Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 297
(PS: The state is extremely bad, the number of words is less, friends will just read it, and ask for a few monthly tickets to clear up the chaotic pure wolf brain.)
On the night of the end of the Weishui War, at the end of Haishi, when Zishi arrived, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, who were stationed at the mouth of the Qingjiang River, were still brightly lit in the tents of the Chinese army. The generals gathered together to celebrate today's Weishui victory together with Yang Ge and Gao Huan, the superintendents.While drinking happily, the generals of the Second Army of Zhang and Li had to talk about how Hong Chengchou wanted to rectify his own army after the war but was humiliated by the two small supervisors. Laughing, crazily ridiculing Hong Chengchou, the old opponent who was punished but was punished, but there are also many rebel generals who don't know a single character. For example, Zhang Xianzhong's right-hand man Ai Nengqi curiously asked the supervisor Yang Ge: "Eunuch Yang, why did Du Wenhuan soften immediately when you said you wanted to check the number of soldiers in his army? What is the reason?"

"Idiot, you don't even know this?" Zhang Xianzhong, who had worked as a servant in the Gongmen, laughed and scolded his beloved general, and then explained: "When a general leads troops to fight, the number of soldiers basically changes at any time. One hundred, two hundred less tomorrow, it is very difficult for the imperial court to pay the military according to the actual number of people, so it can only set a certain number of soldiers for the generals, when it comes time to pay the army, food, grass and rewards, no matter how many soldiers you have under your command The military pay was paid according to the number stipulated by the imperial court in advance. If the military pay is too much, the generals can pocket the excess money themselves. The number of soldiers in the hands of the generals who fought was much less than the court's regulations. The extra military pay from the court can be pocketed as a general. This is what is often said in the barracks. Said to carefully check the number of Du Wenhuan's soldiers, wouldn't Du Wenhuan pee his crotch in fright?"

"So that's how it is!" Ai Nengqi and other rebel generals suddenly realized, and they all laughed and said, "No wonder the surname Du changed his mouth and asked to run to the front to serve as a shield for us. After a long time, it turned out that it was Eunuch Yang and Gao The father-in-law is pinching his money bag! Dare to go against the two father-in-laws, unless he wants to go to the street to beg for food."

"General Zhang deserves to be from a public family. He really hit the nail on the head and hit the point." The two eunuchs, Yang Ge and Gao Huan, who were already blushing from drinking, laughed together, and Yang Ge added: "But it's not completely right , it is our family and Eunuch Gao’s godfather Tang, Eunuch Tang, who is holding Hong Chengchou’s and Du Wenhuan’s money bags, not us.” Gao Huan also echoed: “But it’s okay. General Li, you guys, we can do whatever we want, nothing can make those old Qiuba with eyes on the top of his head proud."

"Thank you two father-in-laws, if you hadn't spoken out righteously today, we really don't know what to do." Li Zicheng thanked Yang Ge and Gao Huan, and then asked curiously: "Eunuch Yang, Eunuch Gao, brothers, I have a thick skin. Don’t be offended by asking a question——Brothers, how many people will the imperial court pay for the army of Brother Zhang and me?”

"General Li, it's useless to ask us this question. You can only ask Zhang Butang directly, because only he can judge the size of your army." Yang Ge shook his head and smiled again: "But General Li and General Zhang don't worry too much. Now, how Zhang Butang treats you, you understand better than anyone else, how can he make you suffer?" Gao Lou also said: "General Zhang, General Li, don't worry about the money, first of all, Zhang Butang will definitely pay you. It won’t make you lose money, and, in fact, leading troops to fight for money, taking short credits is just the most stupid and basic way, if you really want to make more money, there are many other ways.”

"Oh?" Li Zicheng's eyes lit up, and he said hastily: "You two father-in-laws, you also know that Brother Zhang and I have just joined the army, and we still don't know anything about official affairs. For the method, I also ask the two father-in-laws to give more pointers."

"Of course, we also know the rules. If there are benefits, we will definitely not forget the two father-in-laws." Zhang Xianzhong, who is good at drilling, also asked expectantly.The two eunuchs Yang Ge and Gao Yao, who had stayed in the barracks for many years, looked at each other, and then looked at the surrendered generals of the rebel army who all raised their ears. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong understood, and hurriedly exclaimed: " Let’s all go out, it’s getting late, I’m going to go back to bed for the old men, there may be a tough battle to be fought tomorrow, and the old men and the two father-in-laws have important military discussions.” The generals had no choice but to whisper that the boss was really meaningless, Go away angrily.

"Elder-in-law, can we talk now?" Li Zicheng asked impatiently after driving away all the generals.The two eunuchs smiled, and were about to teach Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong how to embezzle spoils, resell food, and falsely report military exploits to make money. Zhang Hualong, another right-hand man of Zhang Xianzhong who was in charge of patrolling the camp tonight, came in from outside the tent. He reported the military situation to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, but seeing Yang Ge and Gao Lou, the two eunuchs and supervisors still in the tent, he hesitated and dared not speak.Zhang Xianzhong asked puzzledly, "Fourth brother, what happened outside? Why didn't you speak?"

"This..." Zhang Hualong's eyes wandered, and he glanced at the two eunuchs quietly.Zhang Xianzhong came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Say it straight, the two father-in-laws are our good brothers, and we can't hide it from them." With these words, Zhang Hualong said in a low voice: "General Zhang, General Li, there is one from the south. Old acquaintances, Luo Rucai's deputy shot Tatian, with a heavy ceremony, saying that he wants to see you."

"What?" Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Chop it up! Cut it down for us right away!" Zhang Hualong agreed, and was about to leave, but Yang Ge shouted, "Wait a minute, General Zhang, what did you just say?"

"Eunuch Yang, don't get me wrong, we have nothing to do with Luo Rucai, that rogue." Zhang Xianzhong explained while wiping away his cold sweat.Yang Ge smiled and said: "General Zhang, you misunderstood, our family didn't doubt what you meant, we just heard that the people sent by the thieves brought heavy gifts - such a good opportunity to make money, are you willing to miss it? "

"Collect money from the rebellious thieves? Is that okay?" Li Zicheng asked dumbfounded.Yang Ge laughed and said, "What's so strange about this? The money delivered to the door should not be in vain. Back then, Zhang Butang also received the money for building slaves in Jinzhou City. Afterwards, Jiu Qiansui not only did not blame him, but also praised him. He was brave and resourceful, and he used Jiannu’s money to kill Jiannu, the two generals learned from Zhang Butang, and our family will testify to you afterward, can the court still hold you accountable?”

"Okay then, bring Shetatian in." Zhang Xianzhong nodded, and said respectfully: "You two fathers-in-law, why don't you sit in the back tent for a while? Listen to how we talked to the envoy of the rebels. In the future There is also an explanation for Mr. Zhang and the court." Of course, Yang Ge and Gao Huan could not refuse such a request, and they entered the back tent to hide after agreeing.

After a while, Luo Rucai's deputy, Shetatian Li Wanqing, was led into the tent of the Chinese army. The large amount of gold, silver and jewelry donated by Gao Yingxiang, Luo Rucai and some thieves were also carried into the tent by Shetatian's followers, and placed in Li Zicheng's tent. In front of Zhang Xianzhong.When the two sides met, She Tatian knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said respectfully, "The last general, She Tatian, pays respects to Xiao Chuang Wang and the Eight Heavenly Kings. How are Xiao Chuang Wang and the Eight Heavenly Kings doing after the separation of Xi'an City?"

"Little King Chuang? Eight Heavenly Kings? We didn't seem to call him that when we were with you, right?" Li Zicheng asked suspiciously.She Tatian smiled and replied: "Xiao Chuangwang is right. You really didn't call it that way before, but it's different now. Today, after discussing with the kings from all walks of life in Shaanxi, they unanimously decided to elect the original Eight Great Kings as the Eight Heavenly Kings. As for you, General Chuang, of course you will become Little Chuang King - Chuang King also said that he is going to divide his army into another [-]% for you Little Chuang King, so that you can also pull up a pole alone." Saying that, She Tie Tian pointed to the two big boxes he had brought, and said with a smile: "Little Chuang Wang, Eight Heavenly Kings, have you seen that? These two big boxes are full, but they are all filled with big Chuang Wang, Cao Cao, etc. Gold, silver and jewels to express sincerity to the Heavenly King and all the great kings."

"Gao Yingxiang has finally been generous. He paid the money first and then received the goods. He is not afraid that we will kill you and swallow the money again?" Zhang Xianzhong asked with a sneer.She Tatian smiled and said: "Of course I'm not afraid. No matter what, we are all friends, and we used to be comrades-in-arms who lived and died together. Little Chuang Wang and Ba Tianwang are so loyal, how could they do such a wolf-hearted thing? Besides Yes, King Chuang and King Cao prepared five boxes full of gold, silver and jewels for you, King Chuang and King Cao, and the remaining three boxes have to wait for King Chuang and King Eight to go back to get them."

"Of course we have to go back and get it, but we still need to get some things after we go back." Zhang Xianzhong said calmly: "After you go back, tell Gao Yingxiang and Luo Rucai to wash their necks clean. Dedicate their heads to Mr. Zhang as a meeting gift."

"Eight Heavenly Kings, Zhang Haogu, that little dog official, is really so kind to you? Have you forgotten the lesson of Liangshan and Song Jiang?" She Tatian followed the advice of Fan Wencheng, who had no courage to personally persuade him to surrender, and asked with a sinister smile: "Back then, Song Jiang was doing well in Liangshanbo, but because he was tricked by a dog official, he was used by the dog official to beat Fang La in order to become an official. As a result, [-] people died, not to mention seventy or eighty, and he himself was also killed. The dog officer was poisoned to death, Eight Heavenly Kings and Little Chuang Wang, you are smart, why don’t you prevent the little dog officer from doing this to you? The little dog officer sent you to fight Da Chuang Wang and the others, not for you and Da Chuang What is king cannibalism?"

It is a lie to say that Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng are not worried about becoming Song Jiang's second, but the problem is that since Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong surrendered, Young Master Zhang has shown enough sincerity in recruiting surrender, as well as meticulous care and care, However, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, two peerless owls who were far from mature, were deeply moved. Although their loyalty to Young Master Zhang was not [-]% complete, they would not betray them easily.So after finishing talking about Shetatian, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng couldn't help laughing together, Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Shetatian, if you think these few words can move us and drive a wedge between us and Mr. Zhang, Then you are completely wrong. Mr. Zhang’s kindness and trust in us are higher than the sky and thicker than the earth, and we will betray him and turn to the dark?"

"Little Chuang Wang, Eight Heavenly Kings, you are all smart people, of course it is difficult to impress you with these empty words." She Tatian was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "But since you are smart people, then you Have you noticed that after the little dog officer Zhang Haogu appointed you, did he deliberately transfer your army away, completely dismantle and reorganize? After the little dog officer recruited you, did he install him in your army? Countless eyeliners are secretly monitoring your movements all the time? After you surrendered to Officer Puppy, did Officer Puppy push your army to the forefront and let you fight with our rebel army? The lackeys of Officer Puppy, yes Don't you always make things difficult and doubt you, drive you away when there are good things, and push all the responsibilities on you when there are responsibilities? Think about it, think about it carefully, do you have these things?"

In Fan Wencheng's analysis, Master Zhang's attitude towards rogue generals like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong is, in all likelihood, throwing them away when they are used up, killing donkeys when they are used up, taking out ladders when they go to the house, and scolding the cook after eating. If you want to use it, you won’t give it enough trust, and it will only be used as cannon fodder for the army-you can’t blame Fan Wencheng for wishful thinking when you come to this conclusion. The key is that Fan Wencheng is not like Master Zhang. How much use value will the general have.And so after She Tatetian finished speaking according to Fan Wencheng's instructions, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong laughed even more, Zhang Xianzhong still covered his stomach and laughed: "Gao Gonggong, Yang Gonggong, you two heard it? She Tatian said that Mr. Zhang sent countless eyeliners in our army to spy on us. Now that Mr. Zhang sent you two father-in-laws, it must be you. You two, are you the eyeliners sent by Mr. Zhang? "

"Eight Heavenly Kings, who are you talking to?" She Tatian asked inexplicably.Before the words were finished, two eunuchs, Yang Ge and Gao Huan, came out of the back tent with smiles on their faces. Yang Ge introduced himself: "Our family is the eyeliner you mentioned, the eyeliner sent by Zhang Butang to General Zhang's army, but Our family is not secretly monitoring, but public monitoring, and by the way, we will solve some of the troubles you mentioned for General Zhang and General Li."

"General Zhang, General Li, don't talk to him anymore." Gao Yao said viciously, "Tie him up directly, and send him to Baoji City overnight to Hong Zhongcheng, so that Hong Zhongcheng can see if you are really what he imagined. For such a person, let him see if Zhang Butang misjudged you?"

"Eight Heavenly Kings, Little King Chuang, what the hell is going on?" She Tatian yelled in his heart that something was wrong, but he still asked with a pale face unwilling to give up.Zhang Xianzhong said viciously: "What happened? To tell you the truth, you have none of the slanders against Mr. Zhang. Our army has neither been reorganized nor reduced. Mr. Zhang has neither arranged countless eyeliners in our army, nor Pushing us to the front line to die for nothing! Mr. Zhang sent these two father-in-laws, and they also sent us to be our backers. If we have any problems, as long as we talk to them, there will be nothing we can't do! Also, you must Unexpectedly, my godson Li Dingguo was also taken in as a foster son by Mr. Zhang—in private, Mr. Zhang has already made me worthy of his brother!"

"Yes...is there such a thing?" She Tatetian was sweating profusely, but he cursed Fan Wencheng nonsense in his heart. Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng were bullied and discriminated against by regular officers and soldiers after they surrendered.And Zhang Xianzhong didn't hesitate, and immediately shouted: "Come on, tie up She Tatian and send it to Baoji City to Master Hong!"

"Yes, it's tied up right away, and we'll write a letter to our godfather right away to ask for credit for the two generals." Gao Lou and Yang Ge agreed together.Li Zicheng shouted: "General Zhang, you two father-in-laws, don't worry, I still have something to say to She Tatian."

"Old Li, what else do you have to say to Shetatian?" Zhang Xianzhong warned: "Don't forget, although Master Zhang, Eunuch Tang, Eunuch Yang and Eunuch Gao believe in us, others still have some doubts about us. It’s better to do less things like melon fields and plum blossoms.” Yang Ge and Gao Huan were also a little surprised, but they didn’t say anything to stop them.

"Old Zhang, don't worry, just listen to me." Li Zicheng shook his head, then turned to Gao Yao and Yang Ge and said, "You two father-in-laws, I know that this shooter is one of the two most important lieutenants of the thief leader Luo Rucai. , I have a lot of soldiers and horses in my hands, think about it, if we can make She Tatian suddenly turn his back on the battlefield, and stab a knife in the back of the rogue army, what effect will it have?"

"Huh?" The eyes of the two eunuchs, Yang Ge and Gao Huan, brightened - not to mention that eunuchs are not enterprising, but Eunuch Gao and Eunuch Yang often dreamed that they had become eunuchs in the Ministry of Ceremonies.Glancing at the earth-colored shot collapsed on the ground by Li Zicheng's own soldiers, Yang Ge asked a little tempted: "General Li, you mean that we recruit this traitor instead? Is it okay to let him be our internal response?" ?”

"Should be able to do it, it's a coincidence that the last general just happened to know about this ugly thing about shooting the sky." Li Zicheng laughed and said, "She is Luo Rucai's deputy, and Luo Rucai is the most lustful thief. I can't afford a daughter-in-law. When I got a chance after the war, I married more than [-] beautiful wives in one breath. I slept differently every night, but I absolutely didn't allow other people to touch his wives. This shooting down the sky is not a good thing. Hooking up The sister-in-law secretly stole a beautiful wife of Luo Rucai, and I happened to bump into it in Xi'an City, and although I didn't tell the truth, I also quietly inquired about the name of Luo Rucai's wife." Speaking of this, Li Zicheng turned to She Tatian and smiled. Asked: "She Tatian, tell yourself, if I tell Luo Rucai about your affair with sister-in-law He Chuchu, what will happen to you?"

"No...no, don't!" The already frightened man screamed like shooting a pig, and hurriedly said: "General Li, General Zhang, two father-in-laws, I am willing to surrender and serve as your internal response! I I can also report an important situation to you. Tomorrow, Luo Rucai and Gao Yingxiang plan to split up and break out of the siege, leaving Yimen Town and Shensha River all the way to spread your troops so that you can't stop them. Please believe me!"

"Divide troops to break through?" Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and the two eunuchs Youzi looked at each other, knowing that this was definitely an important military situation.After discussing a few words in a low voice, Yang Ge waved his soldiers to let go of She Tatian, and said with a smile: "She Tatian, you are a smart person, you should know who is better to hang out with now, right? Zhang Butang and ours Godfather Eunuch Tang is a person who loves talents, as long as you are obedient and obedient, what we did to General Zhang and General Li in the future, we will definitely treat you in the same way, understand?"
