227 The fish bites

(Ask for wave collection and subscription, it's cooled down today, big guy, pay attention to the cold and keep warm, don't freeze, I'm frozen, I've been running my nose, it's so uncomfortable.) ）

At this time, in the cave where Wu Laiyun was, a group of officers and military officers had already fallen into discussions.

It was clear that the information they had just received from the conversation with the White Dragon Army soldiers was too important to them.

"Lord Wu, we have to think of some ways quickly, if we really let the bandit leader of this White Dragon Bandit make up his mind to kill us, it will be over by then."

"Yes, Lord Wu, we have to find some way to save ourselves at this time!"

Several officers and military officers walked up to Wu Laiyun and said eagerly.

They originally thought that the White Dragons would at most detain them for a while, or be driven to work in a mine or something.

It doesn't matter, anyway, as long as they live, there is hope.

But now things don't seem to be as simple as they imagined, and the conversation of the White Dragon Army soldiers outside has made them panic.

Wu Laiyun looked at the panicked officers in front of him, and his heart was also shocked.

This part of the White Dragon Sergeant's seemingly unintentional conversation contained too much information, so he didn't react for a while.

But then, standing at the height of Wu Laiyun, he realized that this time was not only their crisis, but also an opportunity to solve the White Dragon Army.

Thinking of this, Wu Laiyun's heart jumped straight to 'Peng Peng'.

He ignored the calls of those officers, and greeted Xu Wei and Qi Lin next to him: "Xu Wei, Qi Lin, you two come here, let's discuss something." ”

"It just so happens that I have something to tell Lord Wu about it." At this time, Qi Lin's eyes also showed a different kind of gaze, and he became energetic.

"Maybe Lord Wu and Brother Qi want to go together."

Xu Wei on the side touched his chin, there was already a lot of white beard, and said with a smile.

As the three giants of the cave gathered together, the other officers were also very knowledgeable and did not dare to come up, their rank was not enough.

"What Lord Wu thinks is the same as his humble position, if we operate this matter well, we may be able to solve this White Dragon Army without bloodshed.

If this matter is successful, we can be regarded as able to get out of trouble, and even without the danger of life, we can save the lives of more than 1,000 of our elites.

In this way, we can be regarded as making up for the mistakes of the previous defeat in the First World War, and it can be regarded as offsetting the merits and demerits, or even the merits outweigh the demerits!

Even if we go back, those guys who impeached us will definitely be dumbfounded, but this matter is not easy to operate! ”

As soon as Wu Laiyun, Qi Lin and Xu Wei met, Xu Wei really got right, and Wu Laiyun and Qi Lin had the same idea.

It is nothing more than that, through the conversation between the soldiers of the White Dragon Army just now, they learned that the White Dragon Army was divided into two factions at this time, namely the 'resolute rebels' and the 'Zhao'an faction'.

What's more, at this time, Li Zixiao, the big boss of the White Dragon Army, was still swaying, and he didn't make a final decision, so they came up with the idea of surrendering the White Dragon Army.

"At this time, there must be many difficulties, and the leader of the White Dragon Army is also a guy with a huge appetite, and it is estimated that the lion will definitely open his mouth when the time comes.

However, this matter is our only hope for being rescued, and it can also save the imperial court from a serious trouble, otherwise let this white dragon bandit become big in the hinterland of the Central Plains, we will really be sinners.

Therefore, no matter how difficult this matter is, we must try our best to give it a try, even if the lion surnamed Li opens his mouth at that time, we can only accept it. ”

Wu Laiyun looked like he was worried about the country and the people at this time, and Qi Lin sighed in his heart when he saw it: The old fox is really good at acting.

Obviously afraid of death, before he died, he grabbed a life-saving straw, and he didn't want to let go, he said it so righteously, and sure enough, I still need to continue to cultivate, and I am still too tender compared to this kind of old fox.

Next, the three of them began to plot how to carry out the action, and it was faster than the action, otherwise once Li Zixiao made a decision, they would not see Li Zixiao yet, and everything would be over.

"If we want to persuade and meet Li Zixiao, we must first settle the generals of the 'Zhao'an faction' under him, and get their assistance, so that we can have a better chance of success."

Qi Lin was also refreshed at this time, and he was actively planning, after all, this was indeed a rare opportunity to get out and even make meritorious contributions.

"Yes, what Brother Qi said is right, we must first contact the generals of the 'Zhao'an faction' under Li Zixiao, they are already from the official army, and they still have a sense of belonging to the imperial court.

As long as we can convince them, we will have the opportunity to meet Li Zixiao, and as long as Li Zixiao's conditions are not too outrageous, we will agree to come down first.

Then send someone to get in touch with the imperial court, maybe things will take a turn for the better, maybe you can really recruit this powerful bandit! ”

Xu Wei, who was on the side, also said with a bright face, in stark contrast to the taciturn and lifeless look before.

Sure enough, hope is a good medicine that brings people back to life!

"Hmph, no matter how harsh the conditions proposed by the surnamed Li, the official can only agree, the official doesn't want to be buried in this wilderness and be a decapitated ghost."

Wu Laiyun said to himself in his heart at this time, this time he did see an opportunity to get himself out of trouble and live, of course he couldn't give up easily.

As long as he agrees to Li Zixiao's conditions, and then let him contact his family.

With the support of his brother Fengyang behind him, and the operation of the bigwigs of the imperial court faction where he is located, even if it is to recruit the White Dragon Army, it will cost a lot of money, and it will almost be possible.

At that time, his defeat this time may not be a bad thing for him. Rather, it is an opportunity.

Even, he also took a fancy to the strength of the White Dragon Army in Li Zixiao's hand, if he could take the opportunity to subdue it and use it for his own use, it would be great.

With the turbulence of the times in recent years, Emperor Chongzhen and the imperial court have also paid more and more attention to military generals, which has improved the status of military generals a lot.

Especially those powerful generals with strong soldiers in their hands are even more valued by the imperial court, and if they have soldiers in their hands in troubled times, they have power, which Wu Laiyun, as an old oilman who has been in the officialdom for decades, can see it at a glance.

At this time, Wu Laiyun was planning a big chess move in his heart.

After some secret discussions, the three of them came up with a plan of action.

"Now, the first thing we have to deal with is the bandit leader named Liu Chong who is stationed in the back mountain to guard us at this time, he seems to be already a member of the border army, a person from the 'Zhao'an faction'."

"Okay, let's do it, let's get started."

…………………………………………………………

"Little brother, please come here." Qi Lin shouted through the cave fence to a white dragon sergeant standing guard outside.

And the soldier standing guard had a smile on his face after hearing the shouts behind him, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"What?"

The white dragon sergeant turned his face, instantly put on a cold face, and approached and asked angrily.

"This little brother, we adults want to meet you Captain Liu, I wonder if the little brother can spread the word?" Qi Lin said with a smile and a smile.

"If you don't have time, how can you see our captain when you say you can see it." As he spoke, the soldier was about to leave.

"Little brother, wait, come here."

"What are you going to do?" The soldier said with a look of disgust, but stopped to approach the cave fence.

At this time, Qi Lin passed through the gap in the fence, took advantage of the situation to stuff an item into the soldier's hand, and said in a low voice: "This little brother, this piece of ancient jade is a fine ancient jade, and it is worth hundreds of taels of silver to say the least."

Just trouble the little brother to help the elder brother, and pass it on to your Liu team, saying that our Lord Wu has something important to discuss, please. ”

"Well. All right. I'll give you a message, but whether our captain comes or not doesn't matter to me. ”

The white dragon sergeant glanced at the ancient jade in his hand, then quietly put it away and said to Qi Lin.

"That is, as long as the little brother can speak."

Qi Lin looked at the soldier who left, and breathed a sigh of relief, the first step had been taken, and it depended on whether Liu Chong was willing to see them.

That piece of ancient jade is Wu Laiyun's personal belongings, when the White Dragon Sergeant searched for their belongings before, he didn't find it, and he was lucky to stay, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

The white dragon sergeant soon came to the training ground outside, walked up to Liu Chong, informed Qi Lin and the others that they wanted to see him, and presented Gu Yu.

"Keep this thing for yourself, you deserve it, don't tell anyone about it, you know?"

"Captain Xie, my subordinates understand."

The soldier replied excitedly.

After the soldier retreated, Liu Chong showed a smile on his face and said in a low voice: "The big boss is really like a god, and the fish has bitten the hook." It's my turn. ”

"I heard you want to see me?"

Liu Chong came to the outside of the cave, looked at Wu Laiyun and the others who were imprisoned inside, and asked in a cold voice.

"Captain Liu, this official has something important and hopes to discuss it with Team Liu in detail."

Wu Laiyun also rarely put down his official authority, walked up to Liu Chong, and said through the wooden fence.

"You guys go out first." Liu Zhong understood what Wu Laiyun meant, and asked the soldiers behind him to retreat.

"Now you can have something to say, I have limited time, and I don't have time to spend it with you."

"I heard that Captain Liu used to be a member of the border army, why did he fall into the grass now and get involved with such a group of bandits?"

"Is that what you're trying to tell me? If you're just going to say that, you're wasting my time. ”

Liu Chong said coldly, and then turned around to leave.

"No, no, Brother Liu, please stay, we invite you to come for the sake of my brother's future! Are you willing to be a bandit forever? ”

Wu Laiyun was also anxious when he saw Liu important leaving, and he didn't plan to grind anymore, and was ready to get straight to the point.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, and don't beat around the bush."

Wu Laiyun and Qi Lin smiled bitterly, and they also knew that the other party looked like five big and three rough, but he was obviously an understanding person, and it was best to get straight to the point at this time.

"In that case, then we have something to say, I have always admired you White Dragon Army, especially since you are not like other bandits who do harm to the people, coerce the people, and attack the county government.

It's just that you have a hard life, you can't survive, and you just attack those rich and big, and from that point of view, it's not a rebellion. ”

As soon as Wu Laiyun came up, his attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he no longer called the White Dragon Army a bandit, and even had the smell of whitewashing the White Dragon Army.

Liu Chong really had to admire Wu Laiyun at this time, in order to survive, he really opened his eyes and said nonsense, and completely forgot about the fact that he called the White Dragon Army a bandit one by one.

However, since he forgot, Liu Chong didn't plan to mention it, and continued to listen to him.

And Wu Laiyun saw that Liu Chong was silent and didn't plan to leave, so he knew that there was a play, so he continued.

"From the official's point of view, your approach is not a long-term solution, at this time, the imperial court is to deal with the army transferred by Li and Zhang Chaojun in Shaanxi and Huguang, and temporarily let you take advantage of the loophole.

But the imperial army will soon be able to wipe out the rebellious armies of Li and Zhang, and when the imperial army will return to the court, can you still let you entrench in the hinterland of the Central Plains?

When the time comes, will you be able to resist the encirclement and suppression of tens of thousands of elite armies in the imperial court? Therefore, according to this official, the only way out for you is to return to the imperial court.

Now in the Ming Dynasty, although the situation has been turbulent in recent years, natural disasters have continued, but now the Holy Lord is a rare Ming monarch, who has worked hard to revitalize the Ming Dynasty.

If you are willing, the official is willing to introduce you to you, vouch for you, and obtain sufficient official positions and conditions for you. ”

Wu Laiyun observed Liu Chong's face as he spoke, and when he saw that the other party had been silent, he knew that the other party recognized his statement.

Liu Chong was still silent, and at this time, the whole heart of Wu Laiyun and the others was raised.

"Hey, I and several other captains also advocate serving the imperial court, but the other captains are strongly opposed, and the big boss is even more dissatisfied with the fact that you were stingy before and only gave him a thousand-household official position.

Now the big boss is thinking about it, and it is estimated that there will be a reply in the next two days, if the big boss insists on being the enemy of your government, then I can't help it.

The great master has the grace of knowing me, and I will never betray him, and if that time comes, I can only give up my own ideas. ”

Wu Laiyun first opened the position of a thousand households for Li Zixiao before, and blushed for a while.

After listening to Liu Chong's later words, he understood that Li Zixiao actually had the idea of returning to the imperial court, but he didn't dislike the official position they gave was too low.

This made Wu Laiyun and the others happy, they were not afraid of Li Zixiao's high conditions, they were afraid that he would die and oppose the court, as long as the other party was greedy for power, official positions, silver or anything was not a problem!

"Brother Liu, can you introduce you to the official, the official wants to talk to him in person, maybe we can still talk to each other.

When the time comes, you will accept the imperial court's recruitment, and you will be regarded as honoring your ancestors, which is better than now, you say no. ”

Wu Laiyun's main purpose in meeting Liu Chong was to find out Li Zixiao's thoughts, and then let him introduce Li Zixiao.

When the time comes, he will do whatever it takes to persuade Li Zixiao to accept the imperial court's recruitment.

"Okay, I can find a way to let you meet the big boss, and it's up to you whether you can convince the big boss to accept the court's recruitment."

In the end, Liu Chongreluctantly agreed.

"Thank you, Brother Liu, this official has written down this situation, and there will be a reward in the future." Wu Laiyun said excitedly.

Li Zixiao has never seen him, and he really has no choice but to turn to Liu Chong now, in fact, this was Li Zixiao's plan from the beginning, deliberately hanging him.

"Little Liuzi, you leave and go to the cottage, bring a message to the big boss, and say, 'Everything is going according to plan, Wu wants to see him'."

After Liu Chong came out of the cave, he laughed loudly and commanded a guard beside him.

"Yes, Captain."
