Overnight, rumors have spread throughout Cao Ying! The Ming Dynasty promised official positions, titles, and any versions, from earls, governors, to governors of the country, and even the titles of the secretary of the military department, as for the heavy generals of Cao Ying, even all of them are general soldiers and deputy general soldiers! The most powerful rumor is to let Luo Rucai Yongzhen Henan for generations, and the title will be hereditary!

Of course, these are just scratching the surface, after all, it is only to persuade the surrender, almost every important peasant army leader has encountered it, and no one will care too much, what is fatal is that the most secret cold arrow in the rumors - that is, it is rumored that the entire Cao battalion will surrender to the Ming army under the leadership of the general, some say it will be within five days, some say it will be within seven days, and some say it will be within half a month.

The so-called sake red face, wealth and silk are moving, not to mention that the cake given by the Ming Court this time is so tempting, the temptation of Yongzhen Henan alone has exceeded everyone's bottom line!

Luo Rucai's head was like an explosion, buzzing, broken, this time it was really broken! What's the scariest thing? Of course it's a baseless rumor, and it's a specious rumor! This rumor can completely destroy the morale of a large battalion!

"Yang Chengzu, how did you do it?"

Luo Rucai roared angrily: "Didn't I say that? The content of the conversation with Gao Jie is strictly forbidden to be leaked! Who the hell is letting the mouth out! Check it out for me, and after you find out, you will be directly involved in military law! ”

Yang Chengzu smiled bitterly: "General, how is it possible, which of us doesn't know the seriousness of the matter, so if you can't hide from it, who will take the initiative to say it?" Isn't that asking for trouble? ”

"Where the* did the rumors come from?"

Luo Rucai slammed a cup on the ground, "Could it be that it flew out of thin air?" ”

"General, do you think this is a conspiracy made up by Gao Jie? It can't be this kid who said it, right? ”

Yang Chengzu wondered.

Luo Rucai said hatefully: "Gao Jie? He doesn't have that brain yet! If he has such a high level, then he is not a commander-in-chief, and the governor and governor may be him! Besides, he left directly after he got out of the big tent, how can it be rumored? ”

"So what now?"

Yang Chengzu asked astringently.

"What to do? What else can I do? Passing orders, issuing gag orders, from the top of the army to the heavy generals, down to the pawns, are not allowed to discuss the matter of the messenger, once discovered, directly show the public! ”

Luo Rucai is really anxious, he must block the mouth, let the rumors spread, shake the morale of the army, not to mention, if Li Zicheng knows, it will also cause a huge gap between the two sides, for the next battle, there will be all kinds of harm and no benefit......

However, it was too late to start at this time, and now all kinds of rumors have spread all over Cao Ying overnight, and the most terrible thing is that many people have seen the Ming army envoy Gao Jie enter the tent with their own eyes, as for what the two sides are talking about, no one knows the details, the more such things, the more bizarre it is!

The most important thing is that Luo Rucai is still thinking about issuing a gag order at this time, so where can it be sealed, the camp has long been known, and now it is the yellow mud that fell into the crotch of his pants, it is not but......

One piece of information from Cao's camp quickly spread to the camp!

Li Zicheng is a generation of heroes, even if Luo Rucai comes to vote, the two sides are united, and Luo Rucai has always been righteous first, Li Zicheng will not be unwary of his old partner, big brother!

In Cao's camp, there are at least no less than 100 spies who break into the camp, and when they get such information, the spies dare to hide it and not report it, no matter whether it is true or not, they must pass on the news as soon as possible!

A huge crack loomed between Chuang Ying and Cao Ying.

I have to say that Zhu Jie's move is really powerful, if it is against the Manchurian Tartars, Zhu Jie's plan is difficult to implement, but the difference between the peasant army and the Manchurian Tartars is here!

Although the Manchurian Tatars do not have many troops, but the composition of the personnel is simple, in addition to the Jurchen departments, that is, the eight banners of the Han army, just the dress and language, it brings great difficulties to the intelligence of the espionage, but whether it is the camp, or the Cao camp, in addition to their elite army, each camp still has a large number of homeless people and bandits, this is the most fatal, mixed fish and dragons, everyone has it, not to mention mixed with dozens of fine works, even if it is mixed with thousands of fine works, Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng may not be able to find out.

One or two hundred Ming troops successfully mixed into Cao Ying, and spread rumors overnight, this is Zhu Jie's real backhand, as for the high-ranking officials and lords promised to Luo Rucai, those are all floating clouds, now the peasant army occupies an absolute advantage, and wants to use the method of persuasion to persuade Luo Rucai to surrender, if it can be successful, then Luo Rucai would have surrendered eight hundred times!

knew that Luo Rucai would not surrender, but he did the opposite, swaggering out the bait of the marquis and the governor, true and false, in the difficult to distinguish between true and false, the rumors were confirmed.

Breaking into the camp, when Li Zicheng was convening a meeting of the generals, a guard hurriedly ran in and said, "King Chuang, King Chuang!" There is a spies from Cao Ying's report outside the door, urgent military situation! ”

Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and replied lightly: "Let her in......"

After a short time, a scout hurriedly walked in, knelt on the ground, and said: "King Qi, the day before yesterday, the Ming army sent a messenger into the Cao camp to persuade Luo Rucai to surrender, and Xu Yi was a high-ranking official, and now rumors are spreading in the Cao camp, saying that General Luo Rucai is going to surrender to the Ming court......"

Li Zicheng frowned and replied, "Nonsense! It's just a rumor, when is this, Cao Ying and Chuang Ying joined forces, as long as Sun Chuanting is defeated, the entire country will be ours, and Luo Ru will be so stupid and choose to surrender at this time? ”

Tian Jianxiu on the side said in a deep voice: "King Chuang, although it is a little ridiculous, but we also have to guard against it, the enemy is current, and we can't afford to be negligent!" ”

Li Zicheng shook his head and was about to speak, when the guards ran in again and said urgently: "King Qi, someone in Cao Ying has sent information again!" ”

Li Zicheng shouted: "Pass in!" ”

Another scout hurriedly barged in from the outside, "King Qiyu, this is a letter from General Li He to you!" Now rumors are spreading in Cao Ying, and it is rumored that Luo Rucai is going to surrender to the Ming Court! ”

Li He?

This is a small leader arranged by Li Zicheng under Luo Rucai's account, the official position is not obvious, but he is just a sentry commander, but the position is very important, a small leader in Luo Rucai's army!

Li Zicheng took the letter, and sure enough, the Ming court sent Cao Ying, a high-ranking division of the general army, to the governor of Henan and the protection of the country, and the troops were still under the control of Luo, and the great gift of Yongzhen Henan lured Luo Rucai, the details of which are unknown, but now rumors are spreading, and it is rumored that Cao Ying will all surrender to the imperial court, and moreover, a gag order has been issued in the camp for this matter, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to discuss, once found, immediately beheaded! “

"Gao Jie?"

A wave of anger rose from Li Zicheng's chest!
