389 It is better to be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow
Gao Yigong saw Li Zicheng like this, how could he take the blame for this defeat, and even he himself felt that this battle was unjustly defeated!
So, he immediately defended: "General, the Duke of Xingguo didn't just arrive, but he was already in ambush!" I am leading the army to pursue Tian Jianxiu's department, how can I stop this sudden killing of the main force of the imperial court led by the Xingguo Gong? ”
As soon as he heard this, Li Zicheng's cannibalistic gaze immediately turned to his military advisor. After many days of planning, it turned out to be planned by others?
When Song Xiance heard this, he was a little weak-hearted, but when he saw Li Zicheng's gaze, he subconsciously defended: "Impossible, how can the Duke of Xingguo not know the prophet, ...... in advance Know...... Know ......"
Later, his voice became quieter and quieter, and his face became more and more pale.
In fact, before, Song Xiance already had such a feeling. It's just that he didn't want to admit it, and he was on the run, so he didn't think about it again.
But at this time, he thought about it like this, and suddenly felt that the possibility of this situation was very high, so he couldn't defend it.
Suddenly, Song Xiance's voice rose again, and he suddenly said: "I know, it must be He Baisui's gang who has defected to the imperial court, so they united to trap us." Yes, definitely, absolutely! ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Li Zicheng and further explained: "Only in this way can the officials and soldiers of the imperial court learn of our intentions, and then the Duke of Xingguo will lead the army to come, and there will be this defeat, which is all reasonable!" ”
Li Zicheng was a little stunned when he heard this, frowned, and did not agree immediately.
After thinking about it, he still didn't dare to confirm it: "If he betrayed me, why should he betray He Yilong?" You know, that He Yilong is his brother! Moreover, his family is still in Chongqing! ”
Yuan Zongdi didn't have a good impression of this He Baisui, but when he heard it at this time, he naturally fell into the ground, and immediately sneered: "General, he can even betray his own brother, and it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing to betray the general again!" ”
"Yes, yes, this kind of person has no affection at all, and he is mercenary, not a thing!" Gao Yigong listened, and he also made a final judgment with his mouth spitting.
When Li Zicheng heard them say this, his face was a little ugly. He didn't expect that He Baisui, who he thought he could trust, would betray him too!
Seeing that he didn't fully believe it, Song Xiance thought of another point, and immediately analyzed to Li Zicheng: "Maybe he was not cautious and showed some flaws, and he was discovered by the people on the side of the court, maybe it was Jinyiwei." So, in order to protect himself, he still took care of his family, and he must have saved his life first, so he ...... us The generals are all sold! ”
That way, it makes sense!
When Li Zicheng heard this, he no longer had any doubts, and immediately became angry, and shouted angrily: "What a hundred years old, since you don't care about your family, then good, I will fulfill you!" Come on! ”
Hearing this, his guards immediately stood by.
"Go and pull He Baisui's family to the city gate and cut it down, let everyone know that this is the end of betraying me!" Li Zicheng gave the order almost viciously.
When several of his guards heard this, they immediately clasped their hands into fists and responded loudly: "Obey!" ”
The three people kneeling on the ground, after hearing this military order, glanced at each other, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, finally there was a top pot.
Sure enough, after Li Zicheng gave the killing order, the anger in his heart was somewhat reduced. However, when he saw the three people on the ground, he immediately remembered the annihilation of their entire army, and remembered that the battle he had high hopes for turned out to be such a result, and he was suddenly angry.
Staring at the three people on the ground, Li Zicheng had an impulse, and shouted again to drag the three of them out and cut them down!
However, those who can get to him are still sensible after all.
If you continue to kill like this, it is said that there is no general in Shu, and he Li Zicheng really has no generals available in Shuzhong, and there are even military advisors. Although the facts of the past year have proved that the level of this military advisor is indeed not as high as imagined, but even so, there is no such thing!
However, if you don't kill them, when you think of this war, this evil breath still can't come out!
So, Li Zicheng stared at the three people and said hatefully: "You say it yourself, what should I do with you?" ”
Hearing this, the three of them lowered their heads and glanced at each other.
Not only did the battle suffer heavy losses, but it can basically be said that the entire army was wiped out, not to mention that the generals were so tired that they vomited blood. Even if it was not too normal for them to defeat the battle before, it was still too serious!
Even if Ariga is 100 years old, the three of them, one is the military advisor who advocated the initiation of this war, and the other two are the commanders of the two armies, and the responsibility will definitely not be able to escape.
However, if the general asks like this, it means that the capital crime can be avoided!
Thinking so, they have an idea in their minds. Almost in unison, they spoke together.
"Let the general dispose of it, and there is no regret in death!"
When Li Zicheng heard this, not only did he not feel comfortable, but he felt tightness in his chest again.
Are these three old fritters? Knowing that you won't let them die, you say this? Is this trying to yourself off?
Thinking like this, he had the impulse again, so he wanted to kill these three, out of sight!
After trying to calm his anger for a long time, he kicked over and kicked Yuan Zongdi to the sky; Then he kicked over again, and also kicked Gao Yigong to the sky; When he raised his foot and wanted to kick it again, seeing that they were obviously not a big Song dwarf, Li Zicheng finally withdrew his foot, and instead of kicking it out, he shouted angrily: "Get out, get out of here, think about it yourself behind closed doors!" I don't want to see you again in the next few days! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Gao Yigong and Yuan Zong heard it for the first time, and they hurriedly responded and left.
Similar situations have happened before, and this is a common occurrence.
But Song Xiance was moved, the general was not only merciful to his subordinates, but also merciful at his feet, so he said emotionally: "The general's kindness to me, I Song has nothing to repay, I must go back and think about it, and then come up with a clever plan to help the general get out of the current predicament!" ”
"!" When Li Zicheng heard this, he was not moved by the acquaintance of the monarch and the minister, but waved his hand impatiently.
In the past, Song Xiance offered a clever plan, and he will plan it to reverse the current unfavorable situation. made Li Zicheng very happy, and even agreed to take Li Guo out as a gift.
As a result, regardless of whether He Baisui rebelled or not, it was the problem of his military advisor, which led to the annihilation of the whole army to him.
If you were someone else and get such a blow, you would really go crazy!
Thanks to Li Zicheng's ability to withstand failure, it has been tempered in the past ten years.
But even if he is an entry speech, at this moment, as he said, he doesn't want to see Song Xiance.
Song Xiance did not have the consciousness of Yuan Zongdi and Gao Yigong, and while walking out, he was reluctant, which made Li Zicheng a little blocked.
Simply, he transferred to the back office by himself, and he couldn't see it now!
However, as the leader of the rebel army, he could not avoid the consequences of defeat.
Sitting on the chair of the back ya, he drove the maid away and everything, rubbing his head and thinking about the situation in front of him.
Gao Yigong and Yuan Zongdi's nearly 100,000 men and horses, under the annihilation of the whole army, Li Zicheng understood that he had already broken his muscles and bones.
Now the troops he has at hand, counting the newly expanded men and horses in Shudi, there are more than 300,000 horses in total.
And these horses, at least 150,000 of them are defending against Sun Chuanting's offensive; Guarding the gateway to Chongqing in the north.
As for the west, after Yuan Zongdi and Gao Yigong's men and horses were gone, there was only Liu Zongmin's last line of defense on the Chongqing side, and the number of troops was only 50,000, but most of them were elite veterans; On the Chongqing side, more than 50,000 horses were stationed. The rest of the troops are all over the place, as well as in the south.
If Xingguo Gong brings this big victory to Chongqing, he may not be able to resist it!
Thinking of this, Li Zicheng couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, he actually knew very well in his heart: he was not Xingguogong's opponent!
"Alas!" Thinking so, he let out another long sigh.
"What's going on?" At this moment, a voice sounded, "After so many years of ups and downs, what's the hurdle that can't be overcome?" Most importantly, take care of your body! ”
Li Zicheng didn't need to look up to see who was coming.
He didn't open his eyes, feeling that the hand that rubbed his head was replaced, he tilted his head, leaned back in his chair, and sighed again: "This time is different from the past, there is really a feeling of despair!" ”
There was silence in the house for a while, and then I heard a voice behind me: "If that's the case, then after that, shouldn't you think about it?" ”
Guo'er, that is, Li Guo.
As soon as he heard this, Li Zicheng was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, slapped away the hand that rubbed his head, stood up directly, and roared with a black face: "Only Li Zicheng who died in battle, Li Zicheng who did not surrender!" ”
After shouting, he found that his wife was looking at him like that, with a blank face. Li Zicheng's voice was a little quieter: "I'd rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the cow, understand?" ”
Hearing this, Gao sighed and did not persuade again, because she knew Li Zicheng too well and knew that persuasion was useless.
But no matter what, at least it's okay to have a head! I just don't know, what is he doing at this time?
Li Guo, who she was worried about, was actually very leisurely at this time, accompanied by the captain of Jinyiwei, and was wandering around Chengdu.
Zhang Mingwei was in a hurry to lead the army to the expedition, so he asked Li Guo to go around by himself first, and he would come back when he went, and then arrange Li Guo.
In this regard, Li Guo was actually a little bitter in his heart. Because he knew that Xingguo Gong was going to beat Li Zicheng.
Come when you go, what is this for Li Zicheng's army?
But he didn't care about these, so he simply let go of everything, just to see what the situation is under the control of the imperial court now?
