Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 708 Parting ways

In Fengyang City, the capital of South Zhili, the "Eight Great Kings" Zhang Xianzhong sat proudly on the throne of the imperial city, holding a handsome little eunuch in his arms, and asked "Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai: "How can I be like King Shun?" also?"

"King Shun made a surprise attack on Luoyang, the capital of Henan Province, and you made a surprise attack on Fengyang, the central capital of Fengyang, which is even more than enough!" "Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai frowned and replied insincerely.

"Luoyang is just a small city with a circumference of less than nine miles; while Fengyang is one of the three capitals of the Ming Dynasty, second only to the two northern and southern capitals. Its outer city has a circumference of more than sixty miles, and the forbidden wall is more than fifteen miles long. , the imperial city is also seven miles long. So how can Luoyang be as good as Fengyang? How can King Shun be as good as the Eight Great Kings? Lao Luo, you refuse to tell the truth!" Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile.

He wanted to scold Luo Rucai as "donkey ball ball", but Zhang Xianzhong did not dare to break up with Luo Rucai for the time being.

Luo Rucai had the same thought, and finally managed to hold back the urge to curse and give him a few words of advice.

Unexpectedly, Li Zicheng, the "invading general" beside him, could not hold back for a long time, and could not help but sneered: "Through eyebrows on your butt, you are so proud! King Shun is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, and someone is murderous; King Shun is obsessed with using soldiers, and someone is like this." A lost dog; King Shun is magnanimous, and someone's money will be compared. Isn't this the fireflies competing with the bright moon, and the grains of rice competing with the pearls?"

Li Zicheng has always been clumsy in words. In the past, Zhang Xianzhong often got the upper hand in verbal disputes. Unexpectedly, today he suddenly spoke sharply and scolded Zhang Xianzhong like crazy.

It turned out that these three people were quite angry. After they teamed up to get rid of the "Chuang King" Gao Yingxiang, in order to get along with Zhang Shunzheng, the three of them put aside their old grudges and hugged together all the way south to Zhili.

Not to mention the burning, killing and looting along the way, although there were some discords, it was better to have "living Cao Cao" in the middle to mediate, so they did not fall out immediately.

As the rebel army grew stronger, the "Sweeping King" and the "Emperor Gu Yuan Zhenlong" came to join forces and seek a prosperous land together. The five people agreed to target Fengyang, the central capital, and become a big one.

Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong imitated Zhang Shun's old idea of ​​seizing Luoyang City, and sent his adopted son Zhang Kewang in advance to lead elites pretending to be commoners and sneak into the city, attack from inside and outside, and captured Fengyang City in one fell swoop.

As a result, Zhang Xianzhong's reputation was greatly enhanced, and he was proud and raised his eyebrows. He always wanted to outdo the "living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai and the "traveling general" Li Zicheng.

It happened that Zhang Xianzhong captured a young eunuch who was advocating in the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum. He was quite handsome. The "invading general" Li Zicheng knew about it and asked him for it.

How could Zhang Xianzhong be willing to give it? Not only did he refuse to give it, he also deliberately humiliated the "general" Li Zicheng.

Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said: "We have played with women before, and we have played with men before, but this is the first time we have played with something that is neither male nor female. 'Champion' himself can't even understand how to play with women, so why do you want this?"

After talking, Li Zicheng blushed and was about to lead his nephew Li Guo and general Liu Zongmin to fight with him on the spot.

Fortunately, "Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai saw that something was wrong and was afraid that the two would get angry and ruin the plan. He quickly separated the two of them and persuaded each other without mentioning it.

Later, Luo Rucai personally hosted a banquet for the two of them, hoping that they would reconcile as before. As a result, he never expected that the "Eight King" Zhang Xianzhong would simply bring the young eunuch to attend the meeting, which only made "The General" Li Zicheng so angry that he wanted to fight him to the death.

In fact, Zhang Xianzhong had not started to get sick at this time. He was not like the indiscriminate killings in Sichuan in later generations, and he was somewhat angry.

The reason why he is like this is that he wants to use his own design to seize the power of Fengyang, the central capital, and forcibly seize the dominance between the three of them.

But how could it be that the "living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai and the "challenging general" Li Zicheng were in vain? Even King Shun, Zhang Shun and the others were not convinced, let alone Zhang Xianzhong, a little "eight king" like you?

Therefore, no matter how Zhang Xianzhong tried to find faults and create difficulties, Li Zicheng responded tit-for-tat, which was not false at all; while Luo Rucai was very clever and good at dancing, leaving Zhang Xianzhong unable to grasp the slightest clue.

Seeing that since the death of Gao Yingxiang, the "King of Chuang" in the general ledger, Zhang Shun has become a standout, and there is no one who can compete with him in the rebel army, Zhang Xianzhong sees it in his eyes, is anxious in his heart, and can no longer hold it in, and that is why he is what he is today. thing.

But he never expected that these two people would refuse to accept the offer and insist on fighting him to the end.

When Zhang Xianzhong heard "Chuang Jiang" scolding him, he finally understood that Li Zicheng had come prepared and was determined to fight against him to the end. He couldn't help but feel evil and courageous, and suddenly he had the idea of ​​​​catching them all.

Zhang Xianzhong smiled instead of getting angry and asked: "'Chuang Jiang' is really good at eloquence. I'm afraid he didn't get it from his mother-in-law, right?"

When Li Zicheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. The reckless man who liked to shout and fight, and talked about "Donkey Ball Ball" and "Rin Ni Niang" actually started to smile. Is he afraid he had murderous intentions?

He quickly put on a defensive posture and took two steps back, ready to draw his sword at any time and attack violently. Li Guo and Liu Zongmin also placed their right hands on the handles of their swords, just in case.

"Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai saw that something was wrong, and quickly ordered his subordinates to be on guard, while smiling and advising: "'Eight Kings', please have some moral integrity! They are all rebel brothers, just for a little eunuch, there are What can't be said? Doesn't it have to be done with a knife or a gun?"

Zhang Xianzhong didn't want to pay attention to him. The two of them sang and harmonized, which was very annoying! He just winked desperately at his adopted son Zhang Kewang. Zhang Kewang, Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Qineng suddenly looked at each other.

Originally, the three of them and Zhang Rujing followed Zhang Shun. Later, when Zhang Xianzhong left, all of them except Zhang Rujing, who was originally in Song County, were asked to come back.

These three people had already been trained by Zhang Shun, and they were quite easy to use. At first he didn't want to deal with him, but by some mistake, the "Chuang King" Gao Yingxiang died. Zhang Shun was worried that the "Eight Great Kings" Zhang Xianzhong was a fool and could not defeat the cunning "Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai and the sullen Calabash. General Li Zicheng sent the three of them back to help Zhang Xianzhong.

Things turned out just as Zhang Shun expected. Zhang Xianzhong was indeed a fool. He actually tried to convince Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng by relying on his temporary fame. This was really a toad trying to eat swan meat.

Zhang Kewang suddenly broke into a cold sweat when he saw that Zhang Xianzhong actually wanted to take action. Originally, the three of them stood on a tripartite footing. Although their power has increased and decreased, there has not yet been a situation where one can fight against two.

Zhang Xianzhong didn't prepare in advance, how could he act hastily? If you are not careful, you may lose everything.

Zhang Kewang had no choice but to take two steps forward and persuaded: "Seniors, please calm down. We are all brothers in the rebel army. How can we make people laugh?"

However, the matter between the two parties had reached this point. Zhang Kewang expected that Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng would not give up, so he had to propose: "If the rebels are united, they will stay, and if they are not united, they will go. Why do we have to fight with each other?"

Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng couldn't help but look at each other, and then said: "I have made up my mind. I am ready to continue eastward to conquer Huai'an and eat from its canals. I wonder where the 'Eight Kings' want to go?"

Zhang Xianzhong saw that the matter had come to this, and his adopted son did not launch an attack on the spot, so he could only chew his teeth and said: "Since you two are heading west, then I will go south to Luzhou. In the future, we will develop and grow. Everyone will do it according to their own abilities!"
