Chapter 82: The Martyrs

If it was normal, Sun Chuanting would have returned to Shaanxi directly.

But now ......

"Li Zicheng's ability to seize the opportunity is really good!" Sun Chuanting couldn't help but think: "How much military resources are there in the battalion?" ”

"It's just enough...... Seven days were used. ”

"Seven days ......," Sun Chuanting muttered, "No...... No way. A decision must be made, and it will be too late. ”

"Summons Bai Guangen and Gao Di to come and see you!" Sun Chuanting's expression was resolute.

Xiangyang Tanxi Temple.

Li Zhensheng stood at the gate of the temple, pacing left and right. At this time, the old servant who had been following him saw this and said softly, "Master, I have discussed it with the presiding master, and the meal has been prepared." ”

Looking at the emaciated figure of the old servant, Li Zhensheng sighed lightly: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"The master has treated me for so many years, so I can only cook and guard to repay me." The old servant said and quietly withdrew again.

Seeing this, Li Zhensheng couldn't help shaking his head: "If you can't turn evil into good fortune this time, you can find the softness in the burden and flee back by yourself." ”

After speaking, Li Zhensheng walked out of the gate of Tanxi Temple. It happened that a person appeared on the street, fortunately, there were few people around Tanxi Temple, he was overjoyed when he saw Li Zhensheng running out, and rushed over to pull Li Zhensheng into the temple, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

This person is Laiyi, a native of Linqu, Shandong, the year before last, that is, the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, he was appointed as the magistrate of Lanyang, Henan. When Li Zicheng conquered the city, Laiyi was captured. Later, Li Zicheng and Zhu Cihong were defeated in the battle, and Laiyi had the opportunity to escape, but for some reason he continued to stay in Li Zicheng's army after seeing one person.

At this moment, he took great pains to see Li Zhensheng again.

Seeing the visitor, Li Zhensheng was also greatly relieved. said: "It's good that you're here." ”

Laiyi said in a deep voice: "Lord Li has worked hard these days. Our brothers will take you away this time! ”

"It's my wish to go back to the rear, but it's not the right time." Li Zhensheng pulled Laiyi into the backyard of Tanxi Temple. Said: "The host here is a loyal and patriotic person, so he is willing to take me to live here." This time. I got the news in the city, and it was all thanks to him. ”

Not long after, a broad-faced and fat-eared monk came up and saluted the two: "Amitabha." ”

"Thank you, Master." came to return the salute and took Li Zhensheng into the inner room.

The two of them didn't talk nonsense when they sat down, and they were still provoked by a table of fasting dishes, but they spoke: "As far as I know, Li Thief did get in touch with Bai Guangen and Gao Jie, the generals of the Qin army. Unexpectedly, Li Zicheng was really good, and even Gao Jie tolerated it. ”

Gao Jie and Li Zicheng are fellow villagers. Later, he hooked up with Li Zicheng's wife and surrendered to He Renlong. This kind of hatred for taking his wife naturally made Li Zicheng extremely resentful of him, and it was also the basis for Gao Jie to gain Sun Chuanting's trust. But at the moment, it seems that the foundation is not solid.

"This news is very important...... It's just that I can't understand why this situation happened when Mr. Sun, a man of great talent and strategy, was also a man with great military achievements before. Laiyi was surprised.

"This matter is also very crucial, but my current identity is not trusted by Li Thief to hear this news is already because the big war is imminent, and the news has leaked a lot. Laiyi, you quickly leave here and pass the news to Your Highness. As for Bai Guangen and Gao Jie, I will also try my best to investigate, and I will explain it to you as soon as I find out! Li Zhensheng said. Holding Laiyi's hand for a long time, he was speechless.

After a short time, the two finished their meal and left.

Laiyi disappeared into the dusk so that no trace of him could be found, but Li Zhensheng had no potential for detailed work. Returned to Xiangyang City openly.

There, he found an old gentry and borrowed some money and food to join the barracks. Such a move really made Li Zicheng overjoyed and let him into the barracks.

Relying on a meal of wine and meat. Li Zhensheng finally got a sad news from the drunken Liu Zongmin.

"Hahaha, this Ming court is really exhausted. That Sun Chuanting is a brave man. It's not that he was framed by eunuchs, and he couldn't even eat! Hahaha, this Da Ming. The gas is exhausted! ”

"Gao Jie and Bai Guangen are in the army, they will be hungry in three days!"

……

Kaifeng City.

Still remaining in charge of Kaifeng is Huang Shu, a former Kaifeng governor who has now taken up the post of prefect of Kaifeng and has been given another particularly important position: the mayor of Qiming.

"Wang Xie has done a powerful job in Xiangfu, and he has been quite diligent and meritorious since he served as the governor of Kaifeng Mansion. This time, I wrote to His Royal Highness to suggest that the prefect of Kaifeng be given to him, and I don't know if he can pass the test. His Royal Highness has worked extremely hard to trap himself in Nanjing in the past year, and things in the north have become more and more embarrassing. Huang Shu thought like this, and slowly closed the paperwork in his hand: "That's it, let's solve the current matter." I don't know what happened to the supply of the Qin army that Wang Xie was responsible for. ”

This is, coincidentally, Wang Xie stepped in and said to Huang Shu: "Lord Huang, I heard about the summons, but I don't know what is important. ”

"It's coming, it's not a matter of supply for the Qin army. The Royal Guards are resting and changing their outfits these days, and Huguang is also on the defensive. Everyone knows that His Royal Highness does not want to compete with Sun Chuanting for this success in pacifying Li Zicheng. After all, Sun Du is the Holy Lord's order. Ah, well, you can understand these things. Saying that, Huang Shu paused and said, "So no matter how excessive the eunuchs of the prison army are this time, we might as well be more patient." Of course, there are also criminal issues related to the implementation of His Royal Highness's instructions: strict investigation must be investigated. ”

"Yes!" Wang Xie said with a smile: "This matter is easy to do, this time it is enough for the military resources of the Qin army's 100,000 troops for two months, and even the wartime subsidy according to the specifications of the Royal Guards Corps has been issued." His Royal Highness opened his mouth and personally approved 150,000 taels, and the silver was taken from Hengxin Qian Zhuang and given to Wang Chengji, the eunuch of the prison army. This should be correct. ”

"Hmm...... Good. Huang Shu said, suddenly feeling a little uneasy.

……

Xinye, Huangqu.

The ten-mile company camp here is full of soldiers from the Southern Expedition.

"Sun Du has really decided." Bai Guangen looked at a group of generals and said, "But the current situation is ...... Where is the chance to win? ”

"What does the chief soldier mean ......" A fair-faced general looked surprised: "Could it be that you want to surrender to the thief?" I'm a court general. ”

"Fight like this...... There must be heavy casualties, and I don't want to do it. Bai Guangen glanced indifferently and said, "If Sun Chuanting wants to fight, let them fight!" ”

……

Tanxi Temple.

Li Zicheng looked at Li Zhensheng, sighed repeatedly, and said, "Why should Lord Li be like this, with his life, just to send a message to the defeated officers and soldiers? ”

Li Zhensheng looked at the person in front of him and said, "King Li killed officials and rebelled, and he has his own beliefs. I am an official of the court, and I also have the belief of loyalty and patriotism. Today, he died generously in front of Tanxi Temple, please fulfill it. ”
