462 Li Zicheng's forbearance

"Quick, quick, close the gates, don't let them rush in. ）”

But it was more of a panic, he was worried that the soldiers of the Flying Feather Cavalry Battalion would take the opportunity to rush into Luoyang City and capture the west gate of Luoyang City.

"But, General, there are still many of our brothers outside the city, and they haven't withdrawn!" An old bandit said to Liu Zongmin hesitantly.

Liu Zongmin roared angrily, brandished the long knife in his hand, and slashed at the old bandit.

There is no doubt that those bandits who are still outside the city directly made Liu Zongmin give up.

Screams rang out one after another outside the city, and in the face of high-speed galloping, brandishing the falling swords, those bandits, no matter how fierce they were, could not escape death.

Huo Gang led the Flying Feather Cavalry Battalion, and after cutting through the thousands of bandit formations out of the city, he issued a new order.

Soon, on the outskirts of Luoyang West City, there were not many bandits who could stand, leaving behind corpses and blood flowing.

At this time, Liu Zongmin was on the city wall and shouted angrily.

Then, a rain of arrows fell.

"What the hell is going on?"

Originally, Li Zicheng was still very confident in the strength of Liu Zongmin's subordinates, and he believed that even if Li Zixiao sent the elite over, he would definitely not be pleased.

"King Chuang." When Liu Zongmin saw Li Zicheng coming, he was also honest, and he didn't have the arrogance he had before.

At this time, you dared to send troops out of the city, really your subordinates are immortal, they are cavalry, elite cavalry, not the waste of the Ming army in the past. ”

At this time, when he saw the corpses of the bandits who were slaughtered everywhere outside the city, Li Zicheng didn't have to think about it and knew that it must have been Liu Zongmin who ordered these bandits to go out of the city to fight.

"King Chuang, okay, it's useless to pursue General Liu's mistakes at this time, the important thing is that we have to figure it out now.

If it's just such a group of more than 2,000 elite horsemen who came, then it's okay, if Li Zixiao's elite in Ruzhou City are all here, then we'll be in trouble.

Maybe Li Zixiao successfully concealed Lu Xiangsheng, but Niu Jinxing and Li Zicheng knew that Li Zixiao still had an elite army of nearly 20,000 people in Ruzhou City.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty will never send reinforcements, and the only threat to them is the force of Li Zixiao in Ruzhou City.

At this time, his rogue army is really not suitable to continue the war, and he still has to face the elite men and horses under Li Zixiao.

"Li Guo and Liu Tichun are in Ruzhou City, what are they eating, didn't they let them go over at the beginning, mainly to monitor Li Zixiao's people in Ruzhou City?

After Niu Jinxing's words were finished, Li Zicheng's face was gloomy, and he was still deflated, but Song Xiance on the side spoke.

As a result, as soon as Song Xiance's words were finished, Niu Jinxing's face on the side changed suddenly and he exclaimed.

At this time, Niu Jinxing's face was also ugly, and he knelt down directly to Li Zicheng and said: "King Chuang, his subordinates are guilty and ill-considered, and I am afraid that the two generals Li Guo and Liu Tichun are in danger at this time." ”

"King Chuang, my subordinates only figured it out at this time, we have been a despicable villain of Li Zixiao from the beginning!"

And this time, it is estimated that there is only such a cavalry in Luoyang, and they are here to remind us that it is time to fulfill our promises.

Li Zixiao From the beginning, he didn't believe that King Chuang would fulfill his promise, and he asked King Chuang to send Li Guo and Liu Tichun to lead troops to attack Ruzhou City.

As long as we defeat Luoyang City, Li Guo's department will become the best bargaining chip that Li Zixiao uses to threaten us in the blink of an eye.

At this time, this cavalry came to give us an ultimatum, either we fulfill our original promise, or we will immediately go to war. ”

Scold! Peng!

"Li Zixiao, you deceive people too much!" Li Zicheng roared angrily, and his body shook for a while.

"Let go, I'm fine." Li Zicheng was also so angry just now that he didn't take a breath, and his head was dizzy.

"Juming, get up, I don't blame you for this, I only blame that Li Zixiao for being too despicable and cunning."

"With Li Zixiao's temperament, he will definitely not suffer losses, we only have two choices, either fight or delay."

"War, it is King Chuang who still chooses, no longer fulfills the agreement he made with Li Zixiao, and then reorganizes his troops in Luoyang, preparing to welcome Li Zixiao from Ruzhou to attack us.

Slowly, it is King Chuang who will continue to fulfill his promise to Li Zixiao, and exchange six million taels of silver for Li Guo and them, and at the same time buy us a period of time to recuperate.

Or the eastern offensive is opened, and the initiative will be in our hands. ”

On the one hand, it is six million taels of silver, on the other hand, it is his own nephew Li Guo, and his confidant Liu Tichun, plus 30,000 troops.

"No, Li Guo can't have an accident, Liu Tichun can't die, and we can't go to war with Li Zixiao at this time. However, six million taels of silver, this king is unwilling.

Li Zicheng shouted unwillingly.

The second time was when the two sides traded before, Li Zixiao pit him hard, and now this time, he has been deflated by Li Zixiao's hands for the third time.

In fact, when Niu Jinxing finished talking about the two choices that Li Zicheng faced at this time, he already knew how to choose.

Let's not say it, Li Guo is his own nephew, he can't watch Li Guo die without saving him, Liu Tichun is also his favorite general, and he is not willing to give up.

"Break into the king, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!" Niu Jinxing reminded on the side.

"Yes, King Chuang. Although 6 million taels is more, it can be exchanged for 30,000 troops and two generals, Li Guo and Liu Tichun, and it can buy us precious time.

Moreover, just now, my subordinates saw that the cash silver and copper coins that we seized from the underground palace of King Fu's Mansion added up to more than five million taels.

According to the conservative estimation of his subordinates, we can at least copy more than 20 million taels of silver from Luoyang City, and even if we take out 6 million taels to Li Zixiao, it will not be a big loss to us. ”

More than 20 million taels, this number also greatly shocked Li Zicheng, he really never thought that he would be able to scavenge so much silver after conquering Luoyang City.

In the final analysis, before Luoyang was defeated, Li Zicheng didn't know how terrible the ability to collect wealth was with a Ming prince like King Fu, as well as other nobles.

At that time, those nobles and nobles in the capital did not lie one by one, because by that time, Li Zicheng and they had already recognized their ironclad wealth.

"With his subordinates' understanding of Li Zixiao's character, this person will never do a loss-making business, and attacking us at this time will not do him any good.

"Seventy percent sure, it's not low." Li Zicheng muttered that he had enough trust in Niu Jinxing at this time.

Niu Jinxing, who was next to him, was also deeply relieved when he heard Li Zicheng say this, for fear that Li Zicheng would be carried away by anger and break out a big battle with Li Zixiao at this time.

At this time, Liu Zongmin on the side came out without knowing whether he was alive or dead, shouting.

"King Chuang, we have to give six million taels, and it will take a lot of effort, at least we must ensure that the two generals, Li Guo and Liu Tichun, are successfully rescued.

Niu Jinxing said, and looked out of the city.

This is also what makes them very jealous.
