Chapter 61 Henan Jiedu Envoy Li Xin

The army stayed in Linying for only one day, and then sent troops north.

On the way north from Linying to Xuzhou, Li Zicheng asked Li Xindao: "What do you think of Zhang Pingzhi?" ”

Li Xin recalled everything he met in Linying, although it was a quick sight, but it was very impressive for Li Xin. In Li Xin's view, Zhang Xuan is a talent. And it is the administrative talent that the rebel army lacks the most.

"Zhang Pingzhi's talent is rare." Li Xin said: "Under the command of the general, there is no shortage of generals who can fight well, but there is a lack of ministers who can pacify a party, and Zhang Pingzhi is a minister who can pacify a place. If the general lays down Kaifeng in the future, it is a good choice to let Zhang Pingzhi come to serve as the commander of Kaifeng. ”

"It's a pity." Li Zicheng's figure was a little gloomy, and said: "Zhang Xuan is Luo Rucai's son-in-law. ”

"General." Li Xin said: "If a general wants to win the world, he must recruit talents, and he should use them only by quantity. It cannot be abandoned because Zhang Pingzhi is Luo Rucai's son-in-law. Doesn't it seem that the general has no room for people? With the majesty of a general, Luo Rucai will become a minister sooner or later. General Luo Rucai can use it, not to mention Zhang Yizhi. “

"Okay, that's right." Li Zicheng said: "I will hand over this matter to you, I am ready to let you be the envoy of Henan Jiedu and manage Henan County, this Zhang Xuan is the person under your command, I want you to recover Zhang Xuan, or if you can recover it, you will recover it, and if you can't recover it, you will kill it." ”

As soon as Li Xin heard Li Zicheng's words, he immediately thought in his heart: "Is it Niu Jinxing's slander again?" ”

Li Xin didn't give Niu Jinxing face, Niu Jinxing held a grudge and immediately gave him color, he seemed to have learned a lesson from Li Xin's matter. He no longer refused to meet with readers, but instead pulled these readers to his side, and for a while, Niu Jinxing was surrounded by talents, and Li Xin was squeezed out together.

Li Xin spent all his time recruiting heroes from all over the world, and most of the official arrangements in each city were excavated by Li Xin, and most of the civil officials were demoted to take over, but most of the generals who defended the city were local heroes, and they had prestige and manpower around them.

And after Li Xin was busy with this, he suddenly found that he had become a loner by King Chuang's side.

As far as Li Xin's original intention is concerned, he never wants to leave King Chuang, after all, the place where King Chuang is located is the political center of the righteous army, and no matter how powerful he is outside, he can't compare to the authority of the central government. But Li Zicheng had already opened his mouth, but Li Xin couldn't refuse and said, "Yes." However, in the opinion of the ministers, this Henan festival should be built to Kaifeng. I still follow King Chuang to defeat Kaifeng City, so I have a place to stay. ”

Li Zicheng smiled slightly: "It should be soon." ”

"Report." A herald rushed over, knelt down in front of Li Zicheng's horse, and said, "News has come from the front army that General Liu Zongmin has captured Xuzhou City. ”

"So fast?" Li Zicheng said: "Tell me how Zong Min captured Xuzhou City. ”

At this time, Li Zicheng and his party had just left Linying, but Liu Zongmin, who did not want to be the striker, had already captured Xuzhou City.

"General Zong Min came to the city, hid his army, and challenged at the city gate with less than 100 horsemen, showing off his might. The guards in the city couldn't hold it, and thousands of arrows were fired at once, and General Zong Min was loaded with arrows. Flee with a hundred horsemen. The defenders in the city believed it to be true, and chased after it with hundreds of horses, General Zong Min turned back to fight, broke it with a hundred horses, chased the city gate, captured the city gate, and the army rose up and attacked the city, and the city of Xuzhou was broken. ”

"Haha." Li Zicheng laughed and said: "The county soldiers are so self-defeating, and they dare to fight with my general?" I don't know what I ate, but I actually have this tiger guts. ”

Li Zicheng smiled, and the generals and generals around him immediately laughed.

Li Zicheng was laughing, pulled the reins, quickly rode out of the queue, and said, "Go, don't let me wait for a long time." ”

A group of hundreds of people galloped away in the fields next to the official road.

At this moment, the land of the Central Plains has been frozen, the horse's hooves are stepping on it, and there is no difference between stepping on the official road, only to see the official road from Linying to Xuzhou, the carriages and horses are vertical and horizontal, I don't know how many people are marching for a while, the queue spreads out of sight, Li Zicheng more than 100 horses passed by the side of the official road, and he was behind him with a big "break" word, showing his identity.

I don't know who shouted first, "Long live King Chuang." ”

Everywhere Li Zicheng passed, it was like reviewing the whole army, and the sound of long live, like a sound wave, went from south to north.

The difference between Linying and Xuzhou is not far away, but it is only sixty miles apart, and the official road is straight, there should be no error, so Li Zicheng let the horse gallop and did not take long to come to Xuzhou City.

"General." Li Xin gasped, although he had good martial arts skills, after all, he was born as a scholar, and he couldn't stand it like this. said: "The son of a daughter can't sit down, the general is so light, once something happens, what is the world, please ask the general to see it." ”

When Li Zicheng crossed the front army and went straight to Xuzhou, there were only more than 100 horsemen left around him. In Li Xin's view, this is very inappropriate. I had to go forward.

"Nothing." Li Zicheng is full of confidence. said: "In the world, if you can kill me, Li has not been born yet, and Liu Zongmin is the striker, what do I have to worry about?" Mr. Lee filtered. ”

Entrepreneurs are full of self-confidence, and almost everyone who fights the world with white hands has a kind of self-confidence in the world. What's the point of being light? A year ago, Li Zicheng had only a few hundred horsemen around him, but now there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, lined up for miles away, occupying dozens of county towns in the Central Plains. Let him have a feeling that destiny is in me. I didn't care at all about what Li Xin said.

Li Xin looked at Li Zicheng's blind eye and said: "General, the weight of the world depends on the general, if the general comes out lightly, and there is a marksman like Chen Dezhi, how should the general be?" ”

Li Zicheng's face suddenly turned cold.

"Bold." Zhang Nai immediately said loudly: "Li Xin, how did you speak?" ”

Li Zicheng's eye was not shot by Chen De, but by an archer named Xie San under Chen De's command, but it was attributed to Chen De. And Li Zicheng regarded this matter as a reverse scale, and no one dared to say it at all, so very few people knew about this secret. Li Xin only knew that what the government said was shot by Chen De.

Li Xin suddenly felt a pressure, so that Li Xin deeply understood what it means to accompany the king like a tiger, a word of loss, let him worry about his life, he immediately turned over and dismounted, knelt down in the dust, and said: "The minister lost his words, please forgive the general." ”

Li Zicheng's voice became cold, and he said, "It's okay, Mr. Li, please get up, I just remember." ”

Li Xin didn't know if Li Zicheng was really okay or fake. I just got up slowly and didn't dare to speak.

"My subordinates pay a visit to King Chuang." A junior colonel bowed to the ground and said. The arrival of this small school broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Where is Zong Min?" Li Zicheng asked.

"General Liu has already set off to Kaifeng, after breaking the city, General Liu interrogated the city sergeant to know, Ding Qirui was still in Xuzhou City yesterday, and set off to Kaifeng at noon yesterday, General Liu wants to travel day and night, pursue Ding Qirui, and kill a superintendent." The Colonel reported.

"Okay." Li Zicheng said: "It is worthy of being Zong Min. Nai. Zhang. ”

Zhang Nai immediately stepped forward and said, "What does the righteous father command?" ”

Li Zicheng said: "Dispatch the whole army horse team, leave Cao Ying and the infantry team behind, and we will chase after Zong Min to see if we can use Ding Qirui's name to deceive Kaifeng City." ”

Kaifeng City is extremely strong, and the King of Zhou is also a virtuous king, willing to take out gold and silver to reward the army, although the city can not be called a single heart, but it is also tough enough, not easy to break, Li Zicheng hit the old attention of the righteous army, that is, the city of fraud.

"Yes." Zhang Nai agreed and immediately went down to give the order.

"Mr. Li, first sit in Xuzhou for me, appease Xinjiangfu County, and let it be used by me, I don't know what Mr. Li thinks?" Li Zicheng said to Li Xin.

At this moment, where did Li Xin dare to say the word "no" and said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Li Zicheng rode his horse from Li Xin's side with a whip and entered Xuzhou City, where he wanted to gather all horse teams and set off together.
