Chapter 871 King of Fortune? Big cake falling from the sky! Eat it!

(0871)

【Today's fourth update is delivered!】

Zhang Zhun raised the Qianli Mile Mile and looked at it. It turned out that there were scattered cavalry coming from the west. They had no uniform clothes on their bodies, and they were obviously not officers and soldiers. But when they looked closely, they found that they must be in the same group, and their actions and mutual cover were quite skillful, and they were definitely not a group of mobs.

There are only a dozen people in this group, with very few people, but each of them looks quite fierce and look quite cold. You can tell at a glance that they are people who have experienced many battles. It seems that they are only after being pursued by the enemy and have escaped here. If they are not mistaken, they should have some contact with the Shaanxi Uprising Army.

"stop!"

"Who?"

Dugu Lie quickly surrounded the opponent with his sniper.

The cavalry carefully looked at the outfits of the Hu Ben Army and then at their rear, and did not look very panic. Under the gun of the Hu Ben Army, they did not immediately raise their hands to surrender, nor resist immediately. Instead, they sat quietly on the horse's back and carefully looked at the Hu Ben Army soldiers in front. While the Hu Ben Army was observing them, they seemed to be observing the Hu Ben Army.

This detail attracted Zhang Zhun's attention. Obviously, the other party came prepared, and it was very likely to be aimed at the Hu Ben Army. His eyes fell on the other party's leader. The person who led the dozen cavalry was a young man in his twenties. He was not tall but had a very tough look. There were obvious scars on his exposed shoulders.

When Zhang Zhun looked at the young man, the young man seemed to be looking at Zhang Zhun. After a moment, he seemed to say something to the people around him, and then jumped off the horse, raised his hands, indicating that he had no malice. Following him, the other cavalry all turned over and dismounted and followed the young man behind.

"Who are you?"

Dugu Lie immediately went up to negotiate with the other party.

Zhang Zhun looked at him from a distance from behind without saying a word. Soon, Dugu Lie sent someone to report that the other party claimed to be Li Guo and Li Zicheng's nephew. He came to Shandong to find Zhang Zhun under the order of Li Zicheng. As a result, when they passed by Henan, they were surrounded and intercepted by the official army, and finally came here.

"Li Guo?"

Zhang Zhun said to himself.

Of course, Zhang Zhun is not unfamiliar with the name Li Guo. He is indeed Li Zicheng's nephew and is treated like a son by Li Zicheng. He was the backbone of Li Zicheng, together with Liu Tichun, Hao Yaoqi, Liu Fangliang, Zhang Nai and others. After Li Zicheng's death, most of the remnants of the uprising army followed him.

After the Qing army entered the pass through a large-scale entry, Li Guo and Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang cooperated with the Southern Ming court to fight the Qing army. Unfortunately, the internal chaos within the Southern Ming court was too chaotic. Li Guo was sad and disappointed and led his army to fight in various places, but unfortunately died of illness. After his death, the rebel army continued to be led by Gao Yigong to fight against the Qing army in Kuidong and other places.

"Which pursuer is behind?"

Zhang Zhun sent someone to call Dugu Lie over and asked carefully.

"Li Guo said it was Zuo Liangyu."

Dugu Lie replied.

"Zuo Liangyu?"

Zhang Zhun frowned involuntarily.

Zhang Zhun really has no favor for this guy Zuo Liangyu. Zuo Liangyu is nominally an officer of the court, with a lot of golden titles hanging on him. In fact, he is more hateful than a bandit. It is necessary to explain who the most brutal person among the last warlords. Even if Zuo Liangyu cannot be the first, he can definitely be the top three.

Zuo Liangyu's greatest ability is to capture the strong men and kill Liang to make contributions. In order to expand his army, Zuo Liangyu would forcibly pull him into the team as long as he saw the right young people. Every time he encircled and suppressed the rebel army, he would kill the innocent people around him and take them over as bandits. Because of this, Lu Xiangsheng once severely defamed him.

But because of his large number of troops, the court has repeatedly made exceptions to him. Apart from a few irrelevant rebukes, there was no punishment measure. As a result, this person has always been domineering and lawless. Almost no governor can suppress him, even Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting can do it.

Zhang Zhun was a little confused. Zuo Liangyu was obviously suppressing bandits in Huguang, so why did he suddenly come to Henan? Could it be that the Shaanxi Uprising Army has begun to fight in Henan again? Alas, speaking of it, the battle between the Shaanxi Uprising Army is really interesting. Judging from their combat route, it is like a traveler, and you go anywhere.

"Da da da da!"

While thinking, suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from the west again.

"Zuo Liangyu's pursuer is here!"

Li Guo said to Zhang Zhun with a little nervousness.

His nervousness was not because of Zuo Liangyu's arrival, but because of whether Zhang Zhun would hand him over to Zuo Liangyu, or directly to the court. Before contacting the Hu Ben Army, Li Guo didn't know much about Zhang Zhun.

"You guys go back."

Zhang Zhun waved his hand and said expressionlessly.

He actually had no friendship with the Shaanxi Uprising Army, and the two sides had never had high-level contact. However, since Li Guo had arrived at him, he certainly would not hand him over to Zuo Liangyu or the court. Li Zicheng actually had many talented people under Zhang Xianzhong, and the same was true for Zhang Xianzhong. If these people could be recruited, the Hu Ben Army would have even more talents. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong might not be able to keep him. If his talents are allowed, they should still keep them as much as possible.

Zuo Liangyu's army had about three or four hundred people, and they were all cavalry. They chased them fiercely and were stopped by Dugu Lie and others. The officer led the army shouted arrogantly: "Who is ahead? Why are you blocking the road?"

Liu Mang shouted forward: "We are the Hu Ben Army! This is the territory of the Hu Ben Army!"

As soon as these words were said, the originally fierce court officials did not dare to have fierce expressions. Some people even retreated quietly to avoid misunderstandings from the Hu Ben Army. It is said that even if the shadow of the man's name and Shu had not dealt with the Hu Ben Army, they still knew the reputation of the Hu Ben Army. Not to mention anything else, the Hu Ben Army beat the Tartars to cry and cry to their parents in Northern Zhili, which was enough for them to fear. They didn't know the power of the Tartars.

A moment later, an officer came to the court army and bowed to Liu Mang, saying in a deep voice: "We want to arrest the bandits, and ask your army to be harmonious."

Liu Mang looked at Zhang Zhun, Zhang Zhun shook his head, and Liu Mang responded loudly: "We didn't see any bandits, you can go to other places! The ground in Shandong is the territory of our Hu Ben Army. If you break in without authorization, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

The imperial army had to retreat in disappointment. However, they did not go far, but continued to cruise nearby. It seemed that they were waiting for the arrival of the large army or the arrival of more advanced figures. Li Guo had caused quite a lot of trouble!

"Li Guo, what's going on?"

"Who is behind you?"

Zhang Zhun slowly withdrew his gaze and asked with a cold expression.

"Zuo Liangyu himself."

Li Guo's expressionless answer.

Obviously, Li Guo was still very alert to the Hu Ben Army. Even after entering the Hu Ben Army's ranks, he did not relax his vigilance at all. Although he did not hold a weapon, he always leaned against his subordinates. And his subordinates were also very conscious, forming a fan shape, and surrounding Li Guo in the middle. If the Hu Ben Army did anything, they would definitely quickly cover Li Guo's retreat. Of course, the premise was that Zhang Zhun allowed Li Guo to retreat.

Zhang Zhun felt that Li Guo had such a reaction. Although the Hu Ben Army led by Zhang Zhun had accepted the title of the 37th Battalion issued by the rebel army, he had never used such a banner in public. No one in the rebel army believed Zhang Zhun, including Li Guo.

From the most fundamental reason, their interests and Zhang Zhun are actually in conflict. No matter what their respective slogans are, in fact, everyone is fighting for the world and the throne of the emperor. However, there is only one person who can sit on the throne of the emperor in the end. Since there is only one person who can sit on the throne, others will definitely give in. The question is, who is willing to give in? Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have repeatedly clashed for this reason. Now, adding Zhang Zhun is worth it?

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "Li Guo, come to see me, what do you have to convey?"

Li Guo said cautiously: "The King of Chuang asked me to ask you if you are interested in guiding Luoyang together."

Zhang Zhun's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Luoyang? King Fu? Li Zicheng wants to attack King Fu?

This is a good opportunity! As long as the Shaanxi Uprising Army basically attracts the imperial army near Luoyang, it is not impossible for the Hu Ben Army to concentrate some cavalry and raid for a long distance to launch a sudden attack on Luoyang. Whether the operation can be successful depends on the sudden incident.

Li Zicheng is really brave. At this time, he is still trying to make up for King Fu. However, with Li Zicheng's current situation and strength, he is afraid that he will not be able to take over Luoyang. Luoyang is a city that is stationed in a strong city all year round. There are many imperial troops stationed in Fu's own guards, which are definitely not something Li Zicheng can deal with easily.

The most important thing is that Li Zicheng has no ability to quickly open the city gate of Luoyang. Once the battle is stalemate, it will be unfavorable to Li Zicheng. Because King Fu is in Luoyang, once Luoyang is attacked, the imperial army in other places will inevitably go crazy to reinforce Luoyang. If Luoyang cannot be captured in a short period of time, the previous work will be in vain, and he may be surrounded by the imperial army.

The biggest strength of the Hu Ben Army is blasting. No matter how strong the city is, it cannot withstand the bombing of explosives. As long as you quickly reach the city under Luoyang, the Hu Ben Army can adopt the method of blasting, quickly explode the city gate, and then launch a street battle.

"What do you say about your King of Rebellion?"

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and asked calmly.

Suddenly realizing that a huge opportunity to make money appeared in front of him, Zhang Zhun felt even more calm. He had made up his mind that as long as he had the chance, he would immediately leave Li Zicheng and take it alone. What strategy should he do? Let’s go to hell! The property of Fu King is at least tens of millions of taels of silver. If he doesn’t get it quickly, it would be a pity. Now it’s time for him to need a lot of money!

"The King of Chuang said that if the Governor is willing to attack Luoyang, our army can attack the front line of Tongguan, restrain and attract the defenders of Luoyang, and create opportunities for the Governor."

Li Guo said cautiously.

“What is the price?”

Zhang Zhun asked calmly.

“No cost is required.”

Li Guo raised his head and said without hesitation.

"oh?"

Zhang Zhun's suspicious eyes fell on Li Guo.

Sending troops to cooperate with his attack on Luoyang without any cost. Such things seem to be not Li Zicheng's style! How could Li Zicheng let go of King Fu's big fat piece?

Fortunately, after thinking for a moment, Zhang Zhun quickly understood. Li Zicheng's purpose was to ask the Hu Ben Army to take action immediately and bring a large bomb to the court, forcing the court to withdraw some of its troops and fight him, Zhang Zhun, to reduce the pressure on the Shaanxi uprising army.

Of course, Li Zicheng coveted the wealth of King Fu, but under the continuous siege of the imperial army, he cared more about his own survival. If he could not even survive and was still staring at King Fu's wealth, wouldn't that be a fool?

According to Li Zicheng's plan, if the Hu Ben Army suddenly attacked Luoyang and robbed King Fu's property, Chongzhen would definitely fight against the Hu Ben Army under pressure from all sides. As long as the court fought with the Hu Ben Army again, the pressure of the Shaanxi uprising army would naturally be reduced. Li Zicheng would certainly be willing to use the wealth of King Fu to help the Shaanxi uprising army through the disaster in front of him. Otherwise, if everyone died, what else would he have to do?

Li Guo faced Zhang Zhun's gaze calmly and said deeply: "Now is a good opportunity. Please think twice about the governor! The opportunity must not be missed, and you will never come again!"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said affirmatively: "Go back and tell your family, you will think carefully. Please wait for good news!"

There was a vague smile on Li Guo's face and said tactfully: "I'll just send someone back to report to the King of Breaking. I'm here to wait for good news."

Zhang Zhun smiled inadvertently, as if he was a cunning fox. Li Guo was preparing to supervise the Hu Ben Army. If the Hu Ben Army did not act quickly, he would definitely be nagging in his ears. He smiled slightly, but did not expose Li Guo's intentions, and said casually: "It's okay! It's a guest from afar! Dugu, I'll send someone to entertain friends from afar!"

Dugu Lie came up and turned around with Li Guo and others.

Before leaving, Zhang Zhun suddenly said casually: "Li Guo, what are your current situation? Do you need some other help?"

Li Guo said in a bit stiff tone: "We are doing well for the Governor," he said.

Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "That's good. I thought you were besieged by the imperial army and would be almost unable to hold on."

Li Guo's expression was a little better, and then he asked strangely: "Governor, aren't you going to rebel? Why didn't you besiege the capital but ran to Liaodong?"

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "It is important to kill the Tartars, or is it important to siege the capital?"

Li Guo remained silent.

Dugu Lie made a gesture of invitation, and Li Guo followed.

Wang Shide looked at Li Guo's back and whispered: "Governor, the life of the uprising army is not easy. They want to instigate us to attack Luoyang, attract the attention of the court, and relieve their pressure. Li Zicheng released his son, obviously he couldn't hold on."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said with a smile: "Are you interested in King Fu?"

Wang Shide said seriously: "I am not interested in King Fu, but in his wealth. I heard that this prince is rich, and even the toilets at home are made of gold. Our **** ticket, the Finance Department, will definitely go crazy."
