"Liu Zongmin? Where did this bastard come out? I dare to touch my husband's grandson! I dare to touch my husband's grandson... please send someone to catch him!"

"Dad, you are so annoying. Don't touch my documents."

"What are you still sitting here? Why don't you go and catch him quickly? Are there not enough troops? Go to Xi'an and ask your in-laws to send troops."

"I know, I know, Dad, you go away first, I want to think about things..."

After finally sending Wang Kang, Wang Xiao looked at the map and continued to ponder.

But because Wang Kang was interrupted, his thoughts were also a little distracted.

I remember when I was a child, I always thought that Li Zicheng stole Chen Yuanyuan, so I had Wu Sangui's anger at the Guan and so on... Speaking of which, Wei Xiaobao has seven wives... Well, I'm thinking far away...

Later, after reading some books, I realized that this incident was really accused by Li Zicheng. If I had to say that this was true, all kinds of records said that it was robbed by Liu Zongmin.

Judging from the situation at that time, it can be seen how domineering Liu Zongmin was and how disregarded the overall situation.

Speaking of which, if I were Li Zicheng, I would be very depressed. I was working hard to surrender Wu Sangui, and the other side was ruined by the second-ranked figure. As a result, I took the blame until later generations...

Wang Xiao withdrew his mind and couldn't help but sigh, thinking that Liu Zongmin must be very good at fighting, even if the times change, he can still make a name for himself and appear in his sight.

This person actually dared to target Chen Yuanyuan, as if he was destined to be destined.

But I am here to break the fate of the world...

As for Li Hongji now, he is very smart and knows that he is eager to attack Qing Dynasty and has no intention of taking Hanzhong for the time being.

Well, let him guard Hanzhong for one or two years to prevent Zhang Xianzhong from expanding north and selling it for a good price... Originally, it was not impossible.

But unfortunately, your teammates messed with me, like what my father said, "Catch you up"? That's far from enough... My father is still too kind.

Wang Xiao thought for a while and ordered Yijia to stop moving forward and stay in Luoyang. At the same time, he ordered someone to call Shi Gong.

If you want to guard Hanzhong, there is no one else available except you, Li Hongji.

Then, he picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Tang Feng and Tang Jie.

The meaning of the letter is simple... Someone, including my son, touched your family's heads. Within twenty days, can you bring Li Hongji and Liu Zongmin's heads? If not, I will get them myself...

Yang County.

"That was a tall and thin young man with a scar on his face and a musket in his hand. He was hit very accurately. He killed five of my brothers with one move. Damn, I couldn't understand how many people he had, so I had to retreat first... He said he was Wang Xiao's subordinate, and said..."

"What else do you say?"

"The general idea is that Liang Zijie died, and he and us are not finished."

"Is Liang Zi dead?" Li Hongji murmured.

He hurriedly rushed from Hanzhong to Yangxian, and saw Liu Zongmin as soon as he entered the city. He heard this answer again, and didn't know how to describe his mood for a moment.

I worked hard to find a Hanzhong, and I was still carefully maintaining the relationship between the four parties. When I turned around, I could make such a big mess?

"Brother, why are you doing with a lengthened face? Are we afraid of them?" Liu Zongmin said indifferently, still regretting that he failed to grab Chen Yuanyuan.

"Are you afraid of them? Do you know that you offended Bei Chu and Rui Chao together?!"

"So what? Let them fight in Hanzhong." Liu Zongmin said: "Is it possible that you just wait for the future to be recruited? Then, why did you take your brothers away from Tangjie? Didn't you say that you should take us to do something big?"

Li Hongji left Tang Jie because he thought Tang Jie was dead. Who knew that there was a turnaround in the battle in the capital that year...

He could only respond silently if he couldn't say this.

Liu Zongmin said again: "In my opinion, there is nothing good about recruiting pacification. Zhang Xianzhong and others can be called emperor. Where can the eldest brother get him away?"

"Now the situation in the world has been decided, how can there be a chance?"

"I don't think it's possible, Jianlu has not been destroyed yet." Liu Zongmin sneered.

Li Hongji shook his head and said, "You have also seen the battle in Wuzhangyuan that day. The Chu army is strong."

"I only saw them stalemate with a group of barbarians. It was our 10,000 army that arrived in time and defeated Jianlu..."

"You don't understand, Wang Xiao should never be underestimated."

"Brother, you are also the King of Hanzhong. He is just the King of Jing'an. Everyone is the King of Kings. Why are you afraid of him?"

Liu Zongmin disagreed with the idea of ​​defending Hanzhong and waiting for help. Li Hongji proclaimed himself the King of Hanzhong. In the future, he may be able to sell a hereditary title. So what can I get?

"Brother, don't worry, what kind of strength is Ruichao now? We are not afraid of them at all. Wang Xiao is also far away from the sky, so he can only send dozens of people. Just drive him away, how much trouble can he be?"

Li Hongji was upset when he heard this, but he also knew that there was another way now.

That is, Liu Zongmin's head was cut off and sent to Xi'an to reconcile with Tang Feng.

But he really couldn't do it.

Without talking about his loyalty for many years, Liu Zongmin is brave and good at fighting, and is also the number one general under his command. Getting rid of him is like cutting off one's own arms, not to mention that he has just entered Hanzhong and has not yet established a firm foothold.

I can only hope that the Northern Chu whip is beyond reach, and Ruichao is too busy to take care of himself and cannot take care of Hanzhong for the time being...

Li Hongji stood on the city wall and stood silently for a while, but heard the sound of crying in the city.

He turned around and looked at the group of soldiers handcuffed dozens of Shangshen with sticks, beating them to the point of blood. A group of women in the distance were escorted to the east gate.

It seemed that when the soldiers stopped when they saw the King of Hanzhong, they quickly turned around and returned with the crying women...

"What's going on?"

Liu Zongmin said otherwise: "Those are evil gentry. I'll ask them for some donation of wages. Brother, your Hanzhong Palace has been abandoned for so long. Can't you repair it? Add some servants to serve, hehe."

Li Hongji narrowed his eyes and realized it.

His "Hanzhong Palace" actually occupied the Bao Palace, which was vast and magnificent. How could he repair it? However, there was no "General's Palace" in Hanzhong City, so Liu Zongmin naturally wanted to plunder it.

His face stretched longer and shouted with displeasure: "You can't support me as the King of Hanzhong? I'm just saying it without any consequences!"

"Brother, we only have 10,000 soldiers and horses. If we betray Zhang Xianzhong, we will become kings. What should we do if he calls us? Can we not recruit soldiers and horses quickly? Is it okay to recruit soldiers and horses? Is it unnecessary to buy soldiers and horses?"

Li Hongji was not angry and snorted heavily.

However, he had no intention of dealing with Liu Zongmin. He left a sentence "Follow me to return to Hanzhong", turned around and left, and Yangxian behind him was wailing...

What they did not expect was that in just ten days, Tang Jie led 5,000 troops to appear on Baoxie Road.

Tang Jie was really furious.

This kind of rage is stacked layer by layer.

The generals under his command betrayed him and defected to Zhang Xianzhong. This traitor dared to negotiate with his brother, took advantage of the situation to rob Hanzhong and proclaimed himself king.

That's not all, this traitor dared to attack his family... His whole family, brothers and sisters, aunts and Huazhi were all in that team...

The news was first learned by Wang Xiao in Luoyang. He was still waiting in Xi'an to talk to Wang Xiao. As a result, Wang Xiao stopped in Luoyang and sent someone to ask himself, "Can you take his head?"

The power of contempt is penetrated by the back of the paper.

Although Wang Xiao didn't say it clearly, the meaning was "If you Tang brothers are so useless and want me to go to Hanzhong in person, then why would I surrender you?"

Tang Jie was already in a bad mood because of his death. After reading a letter, his whole body of energy and blood rushed to his forehead. He was so angry that he was blinded. When his eyes could see things, his body still trembled...

That night, he ordered his troops and headed straight for Hanzhong.

Although Baoxi Road had to walk a little longer in the Guanzhong Plain, he could go straight to Hanzhong. He couldn't wait to chop Liu Zongmin into pieces for a moment.

When the news reached Hanzhong, most of the Baoxi Road had been completed in Tang Dynasty.

Li Hongji was shocked when he heard this and ordered Liu Zongmin to lead his army to fight.

Liu Zongmin was suspicious, worried that Li Hongji would sell him and apologize to Tang Jie, so he asked back.

"I live and die together with my elder brother. Now that the enemy is in front of me, why do I enjoy my life in the city and ask me to work hard?"

“…”

Even though he had been loyal for many years, Li Hongji still had a great hatred in his heart.

But he was the King of Hanzhong, and he could only bear the trouble.

He knew that it would be fine if it was Tang Feng who came. Now it was Tang Jie. With the temperament of a fierce god, even if he killed Liu Zongmin, Tang Jie would never give up.

This was no longer a good opportunity to punish Liu Zongmin, so Li Hongji had to order all his troops to go out to fight in person. Liu Zongmin then led his troops to follow.

Fortunately, the Baoxi Road was narrow and long, and the Western Army was stronger than the Rui Army. The two sides fought for two days, but Tang Jie failed to win quickly.

Li Hongji finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Tang Jie's march was too urgent and must not bring too much food and grass. He had to defend it a few days ago. When Tang Jie's food and grass were in a hurry, he could only retreat...

Liu Zongmin was still very afraid of muskets. On that day, the Chu army suddenly rushed out again and caught him off guard, so he had to retreat.

But this time it was a head-on confrontation, observing that there were no firearms in the Tang Jie army, the Rui army was tired from afar and was blocked in the valley and unable to operate. Liu Zongmin's confidence increased.

When he was in full swing, he immediately stepped forward and called a one-on-one fight with Tang Jie.

Most of the rebels are like this. When they are defeated, they are defeated thousands of miles away, but sometimes they are very brave.

Liu Zongmin was indeed a powerful general in the world. He was a forging worker, had great strength, liked martial arts, and was not afraid of the Tang Dynasty.

"I'm so cowardly! I was blind and delayed my bright future... Come on! I really think I can't beat the New Year? I used to practice, but I gave in to you a melon horse..."

"Go to die!"

"Sui Shuang, I call your mother Osmanthus..."

"Go to die! Go to die!"
To be continued...
