After Li Zicheng led the army to pull out, Luo Ru quickly began to arrange.

In the middle of the rebel army, Luo Rucai's influence is not ordinary, in the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zijin Liang summoned all kinds of rebels, and when the thirty-six battalions were formed in Shanxi, Luo Rucai was one of the main leaders, at that time, Li Zicheng was still a general under Gao Yingxiang, and there was no chance to keep up with Luo Rucai.

The relationship between Luo Rucai and Gao Yingxiang is very good, Zijin Liang was captured by the Jiangning battalion, and after he died in the capital, Luo Rucai strongly supported Gao Yingxiang and replaced Zijin Liang to become the leader of the rebel armies.

Judging from the development of the righteous army, the leaders who can serve as the general leaders of the righteous army are the strongest, the Zijin Liang in front is needless to say, in the righteous army, the strength occupies an absolute advantage, and the general meeting of all the leaders of the righteous army was presided over in Shanxi, and everyone was convinced, and then Gao Yingxiang, the strength should not be underestimated, coupled with the strong support of Luo Rucai, the problem is not very big, although in this process, Zhang Xianzhong, who is still good in strength, is not satisfied, but he does not dare to say it clearly.

In the later period of Gao Yingxiang's leadership, the strength of the rebel army was greatly weakened, almost every time he fought with the Jiangning battalion, the rebel army would suffer a heavy blow, endangering life and death, Gao Yingxiang's leadership ability, was unprecedentedly questioned, forced to helplessly, after the Jiangning battalion was stationed in Shaanxi and Su Tiancheng became the governor of Shaanxi, Gao Yingxiang made a desperate bet and decided to attack the Jiangning battalion.

Gao Yingxiang was defeated and captured, which dealt an even heavier blow to the rebels.

As Gao Yingxiang's nephew, Li Zicheng has long shown his edge, and his influence in the rebel army is even more than Gao Yingxiang, but Luo Rucai is not interested in Li Zicheng.

Ostensible cooperation. It does not represent the surrender of the heart.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have common characteristics, that is, they have tough personalities, they are vicious, to put it mildly, killing people is the same as killing pigs. Don't blink at all, no matter if the other party is your enemy or your own subordinates, as long as it blocks the way forward, get rid of it mercilessly.

To do big things, you need to have such a character, and weakness can't make a big deal, but if you want to make a name for yourself and be truly successful, there is another very important factor. That is, to keep the overall situation in mind, to be able to recognize the situation clearly, and to be able to make accurate judgments and deployments, which is not a quality that can be possessed casually, and has a great relationship with personal cultivation and knowledge.

It is a pity that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong do not have such qualities.

Zhang Xianzhong has been killed after being captured by the Jiangning battalion, so let's not talk about it for the time being, just say that Li Zicheng is saying that he is doing the right thing for heaven. The same is true for the demands, which must be sympathetic to the common people. But Luo Rucai, who is always by Li Zicheng's side, knows everything, and the aura on Li Zicheng's body can't confuse him.

Robbing the rich and helping the poor and doing the right thing for heaven is just a pretext for the rebels to rebel, and at first they must have rebelled because they couldn't survive anymore and rebelled for their lives. But once there is a little bit of climate, the nature is exposed, and the house is robbed, the victory is not compromised, and the defeat is not saved. Desperately plundering money and beauties, taking care of their own enjoyment, they are completely a rabble.

The rebel army fell into such a vicious circle in the early days, and was defeated repeatedly, and then Qian Liang, Gao Yingxiang and others realized this, so they began to rectify the rebel army, trying to change the understanding of many leaders, Luo Rucai also secretly helped, but unfortunately this idea is too beautiful.

Compared with Zijin Liang and Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng has an outstanding place, he sees the problem very accurately, knows where the crux of the Daoyi Army is, and also clarifies the direction of future development.

Li Zicheng believes in the domineering, those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die, coerce everyone to listen to their own commands, and kill those who are not convinced, so many years of rebellion, Li Zicheng has plundered countless wealth, he is not short of money to spend, and he does not really care about the life and death of the people, and the reason why he throws out many rules is also because the righteous army is in danger and is difficult to maintain. The law implemented by Li Zicheng is strict and almost ruthless, and stealing a chicken will be killed.

Li Zicheng's biggest weakness lies in being a man who is not righteous, using his face forward, not facing back, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, such a character is fatal, resulting in no one will die to the ground.

Luo Rucai thought differently, although the rebellion was also to be able to live a good life and be able to enjoy, but he always thought about how to keep such a good life, with the army in his hand, the army could continue to win and maintain, and such a good life could continue.

Therefore, after Li Zicheng became the king of Chuang, Luo Ru abandoned his previous suspicions and cooperated with him.

It's a pity that after a period of time, Luo Rucai gradually saw Li Zicheng's nature clearly, and he was always worried that if the righteous army really won the victory, it would be difficult for him to save his life after he had a larger territory.

The righteous army can be maintained, many leaders can work hard, and Luo Rucai has a direct relationship, Luo Rucai can have a good coordination relationship, can appease people from all walks of life, and pinch everyone together, the most commendable thing is that Luo Rucai is willing to suffer losses in the distribution of money, take care of all aspects, everyone rebels, the picture is money and beauty, you tell them so many big truths, ghosts take care of you, many leaders cooperate with Luo Rucai to attack the city, no matter how big the casualties are, and no matter how many troops are sent, Luo Rucai can distribute money fairly, therefore, he is the core figure who can unite the righteous army.

Luo Rucai is known as Cao Cao, he is cunning and resourceful, these ideas, he will not expose, but he has been looking for opportunities, leaving Li Zicheng, he feels that continuing to assist Li Zicheng is tantamount to accelerating the time of his death.

Compared with the development of the rebel army and the life of an individual, Luo Rucai still values the latter.

This time Li Zicheng led a large army to attack the capital city of Kuizhou, Luo Rucai was not optimistic about Lu in his heart, but in front of the fanatical Li Zicheng, he would not clearly oppose it, knowing himself and knowing that he would win a hundred battles, who is the opponent Su Tiancheng, Li Zicheng should have a calm analysis, you are not as good as others, you just can't compare, looking forward to a key battle to turn things around, unless you are really on your side.

Luo Rucai still has his own judgment, even if Li Zicheng succeeds in this hand, if he wants Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning battalion to stop fighting, it is impossible, people can fight with you to break the net, and the Jiangning battalion army really surrounds it, desperate, that is, when Li Zicheng is destroyed.

Leaving Li Zicheng needs a chance, and this time the opportunity came.

When Li Zicheng decided to lead an army of 90,000 to attack the capital city of Kuizhou, Luo Rucai insisted on staying, and this time Li Zicheng was moved and agreed to several requests made by Luo Rucai.

After all, to face the main force of the Jiangning battalion, it is impossible to leave the old, weak, sick and disabled, and there is a lot of money and food, all of which are sufficient, and the 30,000 troops rely on these money and property to last for several years.

All the conditions are in place.

Of course Luo Rucai will not stay and wait for death, the righteous army was originally afraid of the Jiangning battalion, this time it was several times the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion of the righteous army, I am afraid that the two sides do not need to really fight, and the righteous army will collapse.

That's why Luo Ru is leaving.

He had to take a large amount of money and food, and his 20,000 core troops, to escape from Bazhou, and directly enter Songpanwei, from Songpanwei to the territory of Duogandusi, where the conditions were very bad, but the righteous army had almost no foothold in the Central Plains, so he could only go to Duogandusi to see if there was a way to live, which was also a gamble.

The 10,000 sergeants deployed in the south, most of these are Li Zicheng's troops, and they cannot be taken away, nor can they be taken away.

On the seventh day of the eighth month, Li Zicheng led the army to leave for two days.

Many of the officers who stayed behind entered the room, and there were more than a dozen officers, who had just entered the room, and were controlled by Luo Rucai's personal soldiers, and the rest of the officers looked at Luo Rucai and were dumbfounded.

Looking at everyone, Luo Rucai opened his mouth with a pale face.

"Brothers, I have decided to withdraw, along the Long'an Mansion, into Songpan, and even into the place under the jurisdiction of the Duogandusi, this is an extremely difficult road, a road that ordinary people dare not take, for what to do, I don't want to explain, you make a choice now, if you are willing to follow me, stand on the right, if you are not willing to follow me, stand on the left, I will give you some money, and you will find the way yourself."

Luo Rucai's righteousness to his subordinates is clear to everyone.

Soon, hundreds of people stood up, and those who followed Luo Rucai accounted for the vast majority, and there were very few who were unwilling to go, that is, just a few people.

A smile appeared on Luo Rucai's face, and he looked at the dozen or so people who were being controlled, all of whom were Li Zicheng's henchmen.

"Brothers, I'm sorry, you are all the henchmen of King Chuang, it is impossible to follow me, after you go underground, don't blame me, every year during the Qingming Festival, I will burn paper for you."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and his own soldiers quickly escorted these people out of the city.

In less than a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen heads were brought up.

A few people who were reluctant to follow Luo Rucai were so frightened that their bodies trembled and their faces turned pale.

Luo Rucai looked at them and spoke slowly.

"You don't have to be nervous, my words count, you don't want to live such a life, it's understandable, this is also your choice, you have followed me for so many years, thinking about putting down the butcher's knife, I will fulfill you, but you have to remember that today's events are absolutely confidential, if there is the slightest leak, I will not only kill you, but also slaughter your whole family."

After saying these words, Luo Rucai waved his hand, and his own soldiers brought several plates, and all the plates were gold.

"Each of you has three hundred taels of gold, which is enough for you to feed your family and live a good life." (To be continued......)
