"Salvation of the Duke, Li Zhe fled back!"

Zhang Mingwei was very disappointed when he heard this report, and the situation eventually developed to the worst.

Thinking of this, he got up and went out of the camp to watch.

Sure enough, in the direction of Li Zicheng's camp, there was a thunderous joy. If something very happy hadn't happened, the thieves over there wouldn't have been so happy! It can be seen from the happy tone that this is not fake!

"Okay, come back when you come back, and I will still deal with you!" Zhang Mingwei thought so in his heart, and then went back to sleep and got back to sleep.

…………………………

On the side of Li Zicheng's camp, many thieves were surrounded by Li Zicheng and returned to the central army tent. The lights were bright and cheerful.

In fact, only the elites in the thieves camp were so happy. Most of the places where thieves were actually very quiet.

"General, it's good to be back, that's good!"

"Yes, I'll just say that the general Ji Ren will definitely be able to come back if he has the heavenly stars!"

“…”

Under the lighting of the torch, Li Zicheng was actually a little embarrassed, and his blindfold disappeared. The eye shot by the arrow was exposed, making Li Zicheng look a little hideous.

But at this moment, he opened his mouth and kept laughing. Even if he had never seen him so happy before, it was as if he had not escaped, but returned from a great victory.

In fact, Li Zicheng cannot be blamed for this, he is indeed very happy.

Originally, he thought that the entire army was over this time. He was chased by the imperial army all the way and fled to the east to death. He didn't know whether he could escape or not.

And he also knew that although he merged Luo Rucai, he eventually gained the advantage of the imperial army. When he fled, he knew clearly that all the troops in Luo Rucai's camp were finished.

After safety, he began to worry about how his camp was going? Not to mention that he was attacked by the imperial army while he was suddenly unprepared because of the incident, and he was defeated so much that he was really defeated. Then everything was really over!

Therefore, when Li Zicheng came back with a nervous mood and found that the camp was safe and sound, the happy mood was really indescribable.

At this time, listening to the confidant subordinates in the Central Army tent congratulating him happily, Li Zicheng laughed and hurriedly asked him about his situation after he left.

After listening to the general content, Li Zicheng walked to Song Xiance, slapped him on the shoulder with a heavy slap, and said in a very respectful tone: "I deserve to be the military advisor I value the most!"

"This is what I should do!" Song Xiance quickly answered, then turned to look at the others, and said to Li Zicheng, "It is all up to many brothers to work together to ensure that the camp is not lost!"

Hearing this, the faces of the others in the Central Army's tent became very beautiful, and even Niu Jinxing lost his jealous look.

After hearing this, Li Zicheng suddenly clasped his fists and bowed to the others very seriously and said, "With all brothers, I, Li Zicheng, will definitely share the glory and wealth with you. If you disobey this, thousands of arrows will pierce the heart and die!"

"I wish to die for the general!" The others in the central army tent responded in unison.

After Li Zicheng sat down again, Song Xiance and others wisely did not ask him how he escaped, because they saw that Li Guo, Zhang Nai and others were all injured, and there were very few cavalrymen they were led back, so they could guess what was going on.

At this time, Li Zicheng was overjoyed and excited because his situation was far better than he expected, so he asked about the matter with the imperial army.

When he heard that he had killed many troops rushing out of Kaifeng Prefecture and the integration of Luo Rucai's camp by the imperial government was still continuing, he said to everyone in the central army's tent: "Wait while the official army has not reorganized Luo Rucai's troops..."

When he said this, Li Zicheng felt ache in his heart. Those people were originally his, but now they are cheaper than the Duke Xingguo.

After trying hard to calm down, he continued: "I will go to war tomorrow. At least I will destroy the reorganization of Luo Rucai's troops in the court's official army, so that I can continue to fight the decisive battle with the court's official army!"

"The general is back, our army's morale is high, I think we can fight!" Niu Jinxing quickly smiled and echoed.

"Yes, damn it!" Liu Zongmin also gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "You must not afford the imperial government army! If we can't get it, the imperial government army will not expect it!"

"Yes, otherwise the strength of the imperial government army will increase greatly, how can we fight with them in the future?" Yuan Zongdi quickly echoed after hearing this.

“…”

Just when many people in the central army tent wanted to fight, Song Xiance came out and poured cold water and said, "General, you can't fight!"

When Li Zicheng heard this, he was immediately unhappy. However, when he remembered Song Xiance's contribution, he did not express his unhappiness, but asked expressionlessly: "Why?"

"When the general comes back, our army's morale is high, but the court's official army is also very high!" Song Xiance replied sincerely, "Luo Rucai's men must also hate us to death. If we want to fight, the loss of troops will definitely be very serious. Is the general willing? Is it worth it?"

"When did we feel heartbroken when did we feel scared when we were consuming troops?" Liu Zongmin asked curiously when he heard this.

He didn't understand why Song Xiance said that.

Of course, Song Xiance knew that the troops consumed by Liu Zongmin were actually those cannon fodders. However, facing the main force of the imperial official army, those cannon fodders have actually proved that they are not very useful.

Therefore, Song Xiance told the situation and said sincerely to Li Zicheng: "General, you are not here these days. The sings and shouts by the imperial officials, which greatly affects the morale of our army. If ordinary soldiers go to war, I am afraid that they will surrender again!"

Hearing this, Li Zicheng frowned. He had seen the scene of escaping in the last battle. At this moment, he also understood how much influence the imperial army had on the morale of his subordinates.

According to Song Xiance, if he really wants to fight tomorrow, he can only send his own elites. However, he is unwilling to use his elites to consume Luo Rucai's troops.

Seeing Li Zicheng pondering and thinking, Niu Jinxing suddenly had an idea and said to Li Zicheng: "General, since the Duke Xingguo on the opposite side claims to love the people as much as his son, it's better to do this. Let's gather the old, weak, women and children in the camp. If it's not enough, go to the surrounding area to catch some, let them stand in front and launch an attack on the court's official army. Let him see how he breaks it?"

When Li Zicheng heard this, his eyes lit up and his intuition told him that this would be a good idea.

If the Duke Xingguo really killed the elderly, weak, women and children without any mercy, then his official reputation would definitely be affected. Maybe the opponent in the court would impeach him. Even if he did not impeach him, he would probably be restrained.

If the Duke Xingguo really cannot attack the elderly, weak, women and children, then he can attack him, and the most powerful muskets and cannons in the court's official army will be useless.

He was thinking, but Li Guo suddenly said, "No, we can't do this! Otherwise, the reputation that the general had finally accumulated would be completely over again!"

In the early years, the thieves drove away the elderly, weak, women and children as cannon fodder. For them, in order to survive, they even did the rebellion of the nine clans, and there was nothing they could do.

But now, under the suggestion of Song Xiance, Li Zicheng has begun to focus on reputation and change in the direction of fighting for the world. If he wants to do things that are harmful to the world, he will only be a thief.

Therefore, after hearing this, Song Xiance immediately echoed: "General, today is different from the past. Brother Li Guo is right!"

Some of the other people in the Central Army’s tent agreed with Niu Jinxing, while others agreed with Li Guo. In short, the differences of opinions were quite serious.

When Li Zicheng heard this, he frowned and stopped talking.

He didn't speak, and the others in the central army tent stopped talking, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

"I'm tired, let's talk about it tomorrow if I have something to do." After a while, Li Zicheng looked up at them and said.

He was really tired. He ran away for a few days and almost escaped. What he needed most now was rest.

The others in the Central Army's tent understood it, so they said goodbye and left.

When they left and there was no one else in the central army tent, Li Zicheng suddenly sighed heavily. It was obvious that his joy when he first came back was gone.

……………………

Of course, Li Laiheng followed his adopted father Li Guo, and he was concerned about Li Guo's injuries along the way.

Li Guo said carelessly: "It's okay, it's just a little injury! You'll get better after recuperating for a few days."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered, stopped, looked at Li Laiheng and asked with concern: "Didn't you lead the imperial army away with the general's helmet? How did you escape back?"

While saying this, he looked up and down at Li Laiheng, but did not find any injuries, which made him a little curious.

He chased and protected Li Zicheng, and of course he knew how desperate the imperial officials were to capture Li Zicheng. Most of the brothers who protected Li Zicheng were finished, including Li Zicheng, who was also desperate to protect him.

When Li Laiheng saw Li Guo ask this question, he felt a little sad and a little unconfident and replied: "I couldn't escape. I was caught by the government army and released by them."

"What?" Li Guo was surprised when he heard this, and confirmed with some disbelief, "Did they not know your identity before they put you back?"
