When Liu Wenxiu was brought up, Luo Dianyong looked very bad. This was the third time he had tried to persuade him to surrender. The first two attempts to persuade him to surrender had worn out Luo Dianyong's patience. If Liao Wenru and Luo Diazhao hadn't specially greeted him, Luo Dianyong wouldn't have done it.

There would be a second attempt to persuade him to surrender, and Liu Wenxiu would have been killed with one blow.

The 50,000 Denglai New Army soldiers led by Luo Dianyong are all stationed in Xuzhou City. The 50,000 Denglai New Army soldiers led by Luo Dianzhao are stationed near Suzhou City. Liao Wenru leads the remaining Denglai New Army soldiers and are active in

In the area of ​​Lingbi and Hongxian, the three-pronged Denglai New Army formed a tight encirclement, completely blocking the way for Zhang Xianzhong's troops to leave Southern Zhili.

After completely defeating Zhang Xianzhong's vanguard and capturing Liu Wenxiu alive, Denglai's new army actually entered the stage of repair. It can be said that they were sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers. They would not continue to launch an attack on Zhang Xianzhong's troops, but let Zhang Xianzhong's troops and the Governor of Water Transport

Ding Qirui went to fight desperately. No matter who of the two sides won the final victory, Denglai's new army would enter and occupy Huai'an Fucheng without hesitation.

Liu Wenxiu had a dull expression on his face. After being captured alive by Denglai's new army, he did not stay in Suzhou. He was escorted to Xuzhou City the next day. When he saw the Xuzhou City Wall, Liu Wenxiu was still a little trembling in his heart. He

Knowing what the rebel sergeants did in the city, it can be said that when the rebels left Xuzhou City, they took away almost all the property in the city and killed nearly half of the people in the city.

He thought that after entering the city, he would see a lifeless look, but the actual situation shocked Liu Wenxiu. Although traces of the battle could still be seen in Xuzhou City, such as the blood stains on the city wall that had turned black,

But order in Xuzhou City has been restored, and people can be seen coming and going on the streets. There is not much resentment or hatred on these people's faces, and they don't seem to be afraid of the sergeant of Denglai's New Army patrolling the streets.

Liu Wenxiu had followed Zhang Xianzhong on his expeditions for more than ten years, so he naturally understood what changes had taken place in the city.

There was a pile of burned ashes in the corner, which was a letter written by Wu Zongrui. If it hadn't been for the appearance of this letter, Liu Wenxiu would have turned into a corpse and would never have appeared in front of Luo Dianyong.

"Liu Wenxiu, this is the third time we have met. I have never recruited sergeants in this way in Denglai's new army. Do you think you are great..."

Luo Dianyong looked at Liu Wenxiu and spoke with a disdainful tone.

Liu Wenxiu looked at Luo Dianyong but did not answer. The expression on his face was still blank.

"Liu Wenxiu, it seems that you have the idea of ​​​​death. Anyway, today I will talk to you carefully, talk about your rebel army, and talk about your many actions, so that you can die in peace...

"

Liu Wenxiu turned her neck, looked at Luo Dianyong, and finally spoke.

"Thank you then..."

Liu Wenxiu's voice was hoarse and his whole body was lifeless. He probably had not recovered from the shadow of defeat. Speaking of which, the vanguard of the rebel army was defeated so miserably. There were a total of 50,000 people. There was no decent resistance and no formation.

The formation that came out to fight completely collapsed and was defeated by the attack of Denglai's new army.

As the deputy commander-in-chief of the vanguard, Liu Wenxiu experienced all the battles. Rather than holding on until the last moment, it was better to say that he watched the rebels suffer a disastrous defeat, watched the rebels completely collapse without enough time to resist, and watched countless brothers fall.

Such a feeling in front of him would be unbearable for any commander.

Such a disastrous defeat made Liu Wenxiu see clearly the fact that the rebels were by no means a match for Denglai's new army. Not to mention the rebels under his adoptive father Zhang Xianzhong, even the powerful Chuang King Li Zicheng was no match for Denglai's new army.

To put it bluntly, when facing the Denglai New Army, the rebels could not see any hope.

Liu Wenxiu's heart was all for the rebels. When his hopes were shattered and he saw that the rebels had no future, his inner support collapsed instantly. At this time, describing Liu Wenxiu as a "walking zombie" is not an exaggeration at all. In such a situation

Under this situation, Liu Wenxiu did not think about surviving. Perhaps being killed by Denglai's new army would be the best relief for him.

Liao Wenru, Luo Diianzhao and Luo Dianyong would not understand Liu Wenxiu's inner feelings. They looked at Liu Wenxiu with ordinary eyes. No matter how outstanding Liu Wenxiu was or how brave Liu Wenxiu was, in their opinion, he was not as good as the Denglai New Army.

Among the ordinary sergeants, the Denglai New Army, which is transforming towards firearms operations, needs collective cooperation most. If Liu Wenxiu cannot return to his heart and truly become a member of the Denglai New Army, then there will be no

It has such a powerful effect that it would not be a pity to kill it at all.

Luo Dianyong didn't understand Wu Zongrui's letter very well. He considered himself a rough man and was absolutely loyal to Wu Zongrui. He just had to do things according to Wu Zongrui's requirements.

Looking at the lifeless Liu Wenxiu again, Luo Dianyong became a little angry. Even if Liu Wenxiu was a talent, the Denglai New Army had no shortage of talent at all. One more Liu Wenxiu would not make much difference.

"Liu Wenxiu, since you only want to die, I will tell you so."

"You are Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son. You have been fighting with Zhang Xianzhong for more than ten years. You are experienced in hundreds of battles. Unfortunately, you have been rebelling for more than ten years and have been fighting against the imperial army for more than ten years. Why are you fighting? You don't understand at all.

.”

"When Zhang Xianzhong rebelled, it was not because he had no food to eat. He violated military regulations in the Yansui Army and should be executed according to the law. If someone hadn't interceded for him, his head would have been missing. I would say that Zhang Xianzhong was a bastard.

We couldn’t go on anymore, so we rebelled.”

"Not only Zhang Xianzhong, but also Li Zicheng. These so-called rebel leaders, under the guise of serving the people, actually satisfy their own selfish desires."

"In every battle, the leaders of your rebel army plundered a large amount of wealth and sent their soldiers to die. After the city was captured, most of the wealth went to those leaders. How much did the desperate soldiers get?

"

"Many places in the Central Plains are already devastated. Since the rebels are for the people of the world, they must appease the people. It is a pity that neither Li Zicheng nor Zhang Xianzhong did this."

"Let's not talk about the distance, let's talk about Xuzhou City. I don't need to say more about what you did when you entered Xuzhou City. You should know very well that if you follow the military discipline and military regulations of our Denglai New Army, Zhang Xianzhong and his like will

, including you, will be killed without mercy."

"It is understandable that you killed officials and even those Ming army sergeants who desperately resisted, but you killed so many ordinary people and entered people's homes to search for money. What is the difference between doing this and the Tatars of the Later Jin Dynasty?

There are so many differences between animals, but you still have the nerve to say that you are a rebel."

...

Liu Wenxiu's face gradually turned red and she looked up at Luo Dianyong.

"Shis cannot be killed but cannot be humiliated. I admit that your Denglai new army is brave and that the rebels are no match for you, but you cannot insult your adoptive father or the rebels..."

Luo Dianyong sneered a few times and spoke again.

"Liu Wenxiu, don't you understand the principle of winning a king and losing a bandit? Isn't that what you rebels do?"

Liu Wenxiu suddenly stood up.

"I know that the rebels have done a lot of things in Xuzhou City, but the officers and soldiers are much better than us. Our rebels also know how to pity the people and always help them. What have the officers and soldiers done? Killing people and setting fires everywhere under the banner of annihilating our rebels.

, what you do is worse than that of an animal..."

Luo Dianyong was stunned for a moment and looked at Liu Wenxiu.

"Sir, you are really a god. You know what Liu Wenxiu is thinking..."

Liu Wenxiu was also stunned and looked at Luo Dianyong before speaking.

"You, what did you say, who is your adult, what did you say..."

Luo Dianyong looked at Liu Wenxiu and spoke with disdain.

"My lord, you just asked me casually. Let me tell you, my lord said that after you, Liu Wenxiu, witnessed the disastrous defeat of the rebel army, you felt that the rebel army was no match for our Denglai New Army. The little Jiujiu in your heart was gone, so you fought

I have lost my energy and feel that life is meaningless. The rebel army will eventually be wiped out by our Denglai New Army."

"However, my elders also said that I originally thought that you, Liu Wenxiu, are a man. If you are always immersed in such thoughts and cannot extricate yourself, you are not considered a man. With your temperament, you are not qualified to enter.

Among the Lai Xin Army."

Liu Wenxiu's body trembled violently and she stared at Luo Dianyong.

"Did your master really say that? How could he know what I was thinking? How could he conclude that I, Liu Wenxiu, was useless..."

"My adults not only know about you, but also about Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi. The one that my adults despise the most is Sun Kewang. For the sake of power, he can squeeze out and attack his brothers, and his character is not good. There is also Zhang Xianzhong, who clearly knows Sun Kewang's virtues, but does not

Knowing the constraints, using Sun Kewang to suppress you, to put it bluntly, you are all pawns in the hands of Zhang Xianzhong..."

Liu Wenxiu's face turned red instantly, and when she looked at Luo Dianyong, she felt a little unsteady on her feet.

Luo Dianyong waved his hand impatiently.

"My master has said that if you have thought clearly and are willing to join the Denglai New Army, then feel free to do so. If you still miss your adoptive father and your brothers, then I will help you."

"I can tell you clearly that Zhang Xianzhong should not even think about leaving South Zhili. Denglai's new army has entered South Zhili in large numbers with the purpose of completely wiping out Zhang Xianzhong. Once Zhang Xianzhong is wiped out, they will turn around and deal with Li Zicheng."

"Okay, you go back and think about it carefully. I will give you three days. Of course, my master has said that if you are willing to join the Denglai New Army, you will not be allowed to deal with Zhang Xianzhong, so as not to embarrass you..."

Before Liu Wenxiu could speak again, the sergeant entered the barracks and took him out.

Luo Dianyong looked at Liu Wenxiu's back, was stunned for a while, and finally touched his head.
Chapter completed!
