Chongzhen's holy decree arrived in Luoyang within a few days, and officials and soldiers from all walks of life began to pack their bags one after another. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The first to leave Luoyang was Cao Wenzhao and other general soldiers, who were ordered to rush to aid Jinzhou, and the second to leave was Wang Feng's team to escort Gao Yingxiang, this time Wang Feng wanted to enter Beijing to offer prisoners, and secondly, to thank His Majesty the Emperor for his heavenly grace.

"Ting Guang, take care all the way!" Yang Sichang picked up his wine glass. Regarding the emperor's holy decree, Yang Sichang was also puzzled. It stands to reason that it is not an exaggeration for Wang Feng to make such a great contribution to appointing him as a governor, but the emperor only gave Wang Feng a false position, which is really incomprehensible.

"Congratulations on your promotion to the governor of the five provinces!" Wang Feng took the wine glass and drank it all.

"Ting Guang is really tormenting the old man!" Yang Sichang and Wang Feng walked forward one after the other, "Everyone knows that the greatest credit for the battle of Luoyang should be your Tingguang, the old man is just stained with your Tingguang's light!

"My lord's words are wrong! The great victory in Luoyang is the credit of all the soldiers, how dare I be greedy for merit in Ting Guang! But when my lord is about to go to battle, the lower official still has a word!"

"If Ting Guang has something to say, just say it directly, you and the old man are not outsiders, you don't have to see outsiders so much!" For Wang Feng, Yang Sichang still admires it very much. Young, easy-going, and not greedy for merit, which is rare for people of this age.

"Adults must not believe the words of the rogue when they go to war, especially if they say it anyway. For these people, if the situation is not good, they will see the opportunity to surrender, and once the form improves, they will definitely take advantage of the opportunity! So don't be soft on these rogue lords!" Although he already knew the end of the man in front of him, Wang Feng, who had worked with him for a long time, still wanted to pull him.

"What Ting Guang said, the old man must remember it in his heart!" Of course, Yang Sichang could hear the kindness in Wang Feng's words.

"Precious!"

"My lord cherishes!" Wang Feng climbed on the back of the horse and hugged Yang Sichang with his fist, "Drive!" Wang Feng clamped his feet, and the war horse under him instantly galloped.

"Go and tell the general!" Since Wang Feng left Luoyang, the army has always followed the tail, and the eagle eye has already noticed it, but Wang Feng deliberately ignored it. He didn't have to think about it to know whose spy this was, what Wang Feng was looking forward to was Liukou. So along the way, Wang Feng deliberately swaggered through the state and county, the purpose was to attract the rogues to rescue Gao Yingxiang.

After retreating from Luoyang, Li Zicheng gathered stragglers along the way, and when he arrived in Nanyang, his troops had reached 100,000, but he knew very well that the combat effectiveness of these 100,000 horses was geometric. Since Gao Yingxiang was captured, the generals of the righteous army have elected Li Zicheng as the leader, and Li Zicheng, who knew that the official army was powerful after the first battle of Luoyang, did not wait for the official army to attack and took the initiative to withdraw from Nanyang, and has been moving north.

"General, hurry up and decide!"

"Yes, the general decides!"

"It's too late!" Liu Zongmin and the generals of all sizes looked at Li Zicheng with expectant eyes.

Li Zicheng's heart is extremely contradictory, as a subordinate general as a nephew, it is incumbent on him to send troops to rescue the marshal, but as a general, this rescue is definitely an egg hitting a stone. Presumably, the officers and soldiers have already prepared a net of heaven and earth, just waiting for them to take the bait! However, the situation in front of them has to be saved!

"Hurry up and decide!" Liu Zongmin took the lead and knelt down, in Liu Zongmin's opinion, the reason why the marshal was captured was to save himself, and now that the marshal was captured, he Liu Zongmin had to give up his life.

"This 、、、、、、," Li Zicheng didn't know how to answer.

"Generals, leaders, are you going to push the righteous army to a dead end, do you want to live up to King Chuang's kindness?" Just as Li Zicheng was in a dilemma, a loud voice came from outside the hall. Everyone turned their heads to look, and the person who came was none other than Li Yan, who had just joined the rebels.

This Li Yan is a native of Qixian County, Henan, and he was originally a native of the Ming Dynasty, but he led people to kill the county officials and defected to the righteous army because he was not used to seeing the lives of the county officials in his hometown. Li Yan joined the Righteous Army during the most difficult period of the Righteous Army, and he was a famous man who read poetry and books, so Li Zicheng valued Li Yan as a guest from the beginning.

"Li Yan, what do you know, we are discussing a plan to save King Chuang, you go away, otherwise don't blame me Liu Zongmin for being ruthless. Liu Zongmin said as he made a gesture to draw a knife.

"General!" Li Yan directly pressed Liu Zongmin's handle with his hand and stuffed it back into the scabbard. "Do you know that you are not only not saving the king by doing this, but you are trapping the king for injustice!"

"Nonsense, why did I go to save King Chuang to trap King Chuang for being unkind and unjust! If you can't tell me why today, don't blame General Ben for chopping you!" After speaking, Liu Zongmin directly put the knife on the table, and put on a desperate appearance if he couldn't tell clearly.

In the face of Liu Zongmin's threat, Li Yan seemed very calm: "In order to save the general and the brothers, King Chuang stayed alone and was captured by the officials and soldiers, and now the general leads the brothers to danger in order to rescue the marshal.

The crowd, which was still noisy, suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes looked directly at Li Yan.

Second, the reason why King Chuang sacrificed himself was to preserve the vitality of the righteous army, and in King Chuang's mind, the righteous army was the most important. King Chuang sacrificed himself for this goal, and now the general, you have led everyone into danger in order to save King Chuang, even if you save King Chuang, the righteous army will also suffer heavy casualties, do you think King Chuang will be happy? No, that will only hurt King Chuang's heart, isn't it unrighteous to hurt King Chuang's heart?" Li Yan's words were loud, and Liu Zongmin, who was still menacing, was like a deflated balloon in an instant, and he lost his life in an instant.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Liu Zongmin is out of ideas, this is not to be saved, and it is not to be saved. He set his hopeful eyes on Li Yan.

"It's not that we don't save King Chuang, we want to inherit King Chuang's will, overthrow the Ming Dynasty and save the poor people of the world, so I believe that King Chuang will smile even if he is gone! Now what we have to do is to elect a new leader to lead everyone to inherit King Chuang's legacy, I, Li Yan, think that this person is none other than General Li!" After speaking, Li Yan turned around and made a great gift to Li Zicheng in the middle.

"See the general!" Liu Zongmin hesitated for a moment, and knelt down.

"See the general!" Seeing that Liu Zongmin knelt down, the others also knelt down.

"No, no! I really can't take on this big responsibility!" Li Zicheng waved his hand again and again to refuse.

"General, this son is none other than you! Don't shirk it!" Li Yan continued to persuade.

"We are willing to serve the general as the master!" everyone said in unison.

"King Li Chuang! King Li Chuang!" Seeing that Li Zicheng was still hesitating, Li Yan directly took Li Zicheng's hand and shouted loudly.
