As the investigation deepened, Zhang Xianzhong became more and more interested in Zhu Cilang. He knew that this Prince of Ming was really difficult to deal with.

This person has many tricks and wisdom, and his powerful generals are everywhere. Zhang Xianzhong believes that he has many generals, but he is probably not his opponent.

So, Zhang Xianzhong had the idea of ​​surrendering.

This time, he sincerely surrendered. There was no other reason, because he discovered that Zhu Cilang was a wise master.

Like Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong surrendered to the Ming court when he was desperate. However, after surrender, he soon rebelled again.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, the peasant army had grown to hundreds of thousands of people. When they met in Henan, they often camped for a hundred miles, and at that time Zhang Xianzhong's troops had more than 100,000 people.

In September of the same year, the King of Rebellion Gao Yingxiang was captured when he was found in Fu and was executed by Lingchi. Most of Li Zicheng and others moved to the area west of Tongguan, and Zhang Xianzhong's troops became the main target of the attacks of the official army in the area east of Tongguan.

Zhang Xianzhong's troops fought in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and defeated the official army many times. When they attacked Henan, they occupied Xuzhou in one fell swoop and killed Zuo Liangyu's brother. In March of the following year, Ming general Pan Keda and others were killed in the battle at Anqingjiadian.

However, due to the lack of unified deployment and coordinated actions of the refugee army, each unit fought on its own. By the spring of the 11th year of Chongzhen, all peasant army suffered setbacks.

Especially in April of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Yang Sichang, Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty and Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, planned the encirclement and suppression strategies of "Four Principles", "Six Corners" and "Ten Sides" and "Ten Sides" and "Li Zicheng suffered several failures in Shaanxi, and Liu Guoneng and others also surrendered to the court in Henan, which brought great difficulties to Zhang Xianzhong's team.

Zhang Xianzhong was defeated by Zuo Liangyu's army in the battle to attack Nanyang, and he was also injured. Fortunately, he was rescued by his subordinate Sun Kewang, so he led his troops to retreat to Gucheng (under the powerful offensive of the government army, in order to preserve his strength, Zhang Xianzhong was in Gucheng and Luo Rucai was in Yunyang, and he was "pacified" by Xiong Wencan, the Minister of War Minister.

After being "recruited", Zhang Xianzhong refused to accept the adaptation and dispatch, refused to accept official titles, and maintained his independence. He distributed 40,000 troops in the four suburbs of Gucheng, headquartered in four battalions, and each with one general led it.

During the rest period, he gathered grass and garrisoned grain, built military weapons, recruited soldiers and trained soldiers. Zhang Xianzhong also often asked people to tell him about the "Article of War" and combined with battle examples, summarizing experiences and lessons, and waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.

This time, Zhang Xianzhong also wanted to be recruited. Except for him knowing that he was not Zhu Cixuan's opponent after all, he felt that he had met a hero.

Before, Zhang Xianzhong surrendered to the court and found that the court was still so corruption. The officials were intrigue and the emperor hid in the deep palace and did not resolve the sufferings of the people. Corruption was rampant and the people were in dire straits.

What if he surrenders like this court? He will only become more and more frustrated, and it is better to continue to rebel.

Now, he has met a hero like Zhu Cixuan. Judging from the information he collected and his understanding of Zhu Cixuan, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty is likely to become the future lord of rejuvenation. Such a person is worthy of being recruited.

But when Zhang Xianzhong sent someone to bring the news to Zhu Cilang, Zhu Cilang hesitated. He was really worried about these bandits who went back on their word.
