Please ask me to be the emperor

Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and other Shaanxi rebels mostly came from the border areas of Shaanxi. Their main opponents were the Mongolian tribes who mainly wandered and looted, so their main tactics were based on wandering and light disease.

After the opponents of the four-town frontier army represented by Xuan Daji Liao changed from the wandering Mongolian cavalry with light cavalry to the heavily armored Manchurian cavalry, their tactics underwent major changes and became tactics based on firepower and impact.

Among them, the Liaodong Cavalry led by Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen was the product of this tactical thinking.

Compared to the Rebel Army, which prefers mobility to win, the Liaodong Army prefers to attack fortresses, break formations, and attack with force to kill.

Although Luo Rucai was known to be good at fighting, with only about 3,000 men and horses under his command, he was flanked by Zu Kuan and Li Zhongzhen's 6,000 cavalry. After holding on for an hour, the infantry was defeated.

"Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai saw that something was not going well, so he quickly abandoned his infantry and turned around with his cavalry and ran away.

It didn't matter if he ran away, he exposed Li Zicheng's troops to the cavalry of the officers and soldiers.

Li Zicheng was about to capture Zhuxian Town, but there was nothing he could do. He had no choice but to scold Luo Rucai for being incompetent and flee to the southwest.

Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen were arrogant and greedy for merit. When they saw this, they pursued them and vowed to take the heads of Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng.

Both sides chased and escaped, passing through Weishi, Weichuan and Changge.

On the way, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai had not thought of joining forces for a counterattack. However, the Liaodong cavalry were all armored and galloped into the formation, making it impossible for the rebels to resist.

It is one hundred and thirty miles from Zhuxian Town to Changge. Since the rebel army was defeated in Zhuxian Town, it took one day and one night to escape here.

Now both sides are tired and hungry. Especially the officers and soldiers' cavalry, whose armor and weapons were heavier than those of the rebels, were already at the end of their strength.

As a last resort, both sides stopped fighting for the time being and took some rest.

The so-called rest will naturally harm the local people.

The thief is a guest thief, and the army is a guest army. Both parties are guests, but they have no sense of being guests.

On the contrary, because he didn't care much, he was even more cruel to the local people. Among the thieves, Luo Rucai was the leader, and among the officials, Zu Kuan was the most powerful. Among the officials and thieves, Zu Kuan and the Yi Ding cavalry were the most powerful.

After the truce, the two sides worked tirelessly to force their way into the homes of nearby people, first grabbing their food and drinks.

Then they plundered the young men and made them slaves, the women as prostitutes, and the old, weak, sick and disabled, and then tortured and killed them for fun.

The two sides struggled for a long time, and then they went to rest as it was already getting late.

There, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai arranged police posts to guard against sneak attacks by officers and soldiers. Their limbs were tired and their minds were confused, so they fell asleep.

I don’t know how long I slept when I suddenly heard someone shouting repeatedly.

Luo Rucai was quite impatient and couldn't help scolding: "You bastard, what time is it, and you are still disturbing me in my sleep?"

The caller was obviously stunned for a moment, and then continued to shout: "I am Wang Xuangui, please wake up, it's an urgent military situation!"

Upon hearing the military situation, Luo Rucai suddenly woke up.

He rubbed his eyes and looked under the dazzling light. He saw his mastermind Wang Xuangui standing in front of him. He couldn't help but hurriedly asked: "How many days has it been? What's going on?"

"It's the fifth watch, and it's almost dawn. There's a sound of fighting nearby, and I don't know what's going on! I'm afraid that my brothers may have made a mistake, so I took the liberty to wake up the master." Wang Xuangui responded anxiously for a few days.

"You did the right thing!" Luo Rucai nodded.

Only then did he feel that his legs and feet were being pressed by the woman he had snatched yesterday, and he kicked her to the ground.

"Ah!" The woman screamed, and then woke up several other sleeping women.

Everyone suddenly didn't know what was happening and started shouting.

Luo Rucai stepped forward and kicked her a few times, cursing: "Where are you calling the soul? Anyone who doesn't want to die, shut up!"

The screams of the girls suddenly stopped, like little chickens being strangled by the throat, and they did not dare to let out their breath.

Luo Rucai nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and asked, "Sir, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

"Just stay the same to cope with all changes!" Wang Xuangui responded without squinting after hearing this, "As long as our army guards the camp and whether to fight or go, we will know the difference at dawn."

The women around Luo Rucai were disheveled and having sex. He didn't dare to look at them, lest he offend them.

"Okay, let's do it the way sir does!" Luo Rucai couldn't help but smile, "I think sir is quite tired too. This woman who doesn't like me has rewarded you, so let her go and warm your bed!"

Wang Xuangui couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. He had long heard that Luo Rucai, the "Living Cao Cao", was lustful and liked to reward the generals with women he was tired of to win over the generals. Now he saw that his reputation was well-deserved.

Luo Rucai is in charge, and the women around him are naturally excellent. How can Wang Xuangui not be unreasonable?

Although they are all things that Luo Rucai is tired of playing, they give people the illusion of putting a hat on their own plate, which is also quite exciting.

Not long after, Wang Xuangui hugged the beautiful woman and left, but Luo Rucai did not continue to sleep as he said.

As a person who has been hunted by officers and soldiers all year round, if he had not been so alert, he would have moved his head countless times.

After finally waiting until dawn, without waiting for the soldiers to report, Li Zicheng came to visit in person and shouted outside the door: "'Brother Cao is so comfortable. The sky is falling outside, but you are still in the mood to sleep peacefully!"

Luo Rucai laughed, quickly straightened his clothes, and then went out and said, "I can't compare to Brother Li, who is young and strong. After all, Brother Li is old and tired. He took a nap for a while. What's going on outside?"

How could Li Zicheng know what was going on? Didn't you come here to get information from him?

Seeing that Luo Rucai didn't know what was going on, Li Zicheng greeted him politely, and then prepared to go back to camp to reorganize his troops, had a quick bite, and set off on his way early.

Unexpectedly, there was a noise outside, and then another soldier shouted loudly: "The leader of the thirty-sixth battalion of the rebel army and the president of the four northern provinces and one capital, all military, political and judicial matters, King Shun has come to pay homage to the mountain!"

Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai were stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other and couldn't help but wonder: How did he get here?

When the two of them were in a state of embarrassment, it was easy for them to "meet an old friend in a foreign land." Knowing that they could not refuse, they shouted openly: "Please come quickly, General Chuang (Living Cao Cao) to welcome King Shun!"

Don't dare to engage in intrigues between the two sides. After all, they both belong to the rebel camp, and you can still rely on your own people at critical moments.

After a while, I saw Zhang Shun with Wukong on his left and Jin Yi on his right, surrounded by people, giving him alms.

Seeing the two of them, Zhang Shun couldn't help but smile and asked: "'Chuang Jiang' and 'Living Cao Cao' are leaving Luoyang. Are you okay?"

The two of them were not people who couldn't afford to lose. They smiled bitterly when they heard this and said, "This makes King Shun laugh. We went all the way east to try to seize the canal to transport grain and grass, but we were defeated by the officers and soldiers."

"We lost troops and generals along the way, and were chased by officers and soldiers until this point!"

"I wonder how King Shun is doing now? Why did he come here?"
