282 parted ways

When the others heard this, they were also a little curious, thinking in their hearts, they are worthy of being military advisors, and they have a lot of ghost ideas in their stomachs!

Thinking so, they all listened with their ears pricked up one by one.

I only heard Song Xiance say to Li Zicheng: "General, the other way is to completely abandon the Central Plains and Jiangnan, and let the imperial court and several other rebels fight ......"

Speaking of this, he paused, and added: "There are also Liaodong Jianyu and Mongolian Tatars, who will also enter the customs, so let their forces fight to the death, let's be fishermen, and really take advantage of fishermen!" ”

Hearing this, Li Zicheng wondered, let them out, where to hide?

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and asked in surprise: "Does the military advisor mean that the west enters Shudi?" ”

"The general is wise!" Song Xiance listened, patted Li Zicheng on the back, and then nodded and explained, "Taking advantage of the fact that no one is paying attention to Shu now, if we seize Shu land, hold the fortress checkpoint, enjoy the wealth of Shu land, train soldiers and horses, once we accumulate enough strength, we will learn from Han Gaozu out of Shu land, and then come to win the world!" ”

Seeing Li Zicheng nodding there, he elaborated: "The strongest of the imperial court officers and troops in Shu is the white pole army. However, the White Pole Army is also not what it used to be, and it is already a thing of the past. Not only that, but he also transferred out of Shudi, which was in Xiangyang before, and later seemed to be transferred to the land of Gyeonggi. Therefore, there is no strong army in Shu, and this is the best time to seize Shudi! ”

Perhaps seeing that Song Xiance was too dazzling, Niu Jinxing said a little unconvinced: "What about Sun Chuanting over there in Shaanxi?" He is not easy to deal with, when the time comes to enter the Sichuan from Shu Road, how can he be alone and sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman? ”

In this regard, Song Xiance did not deny it, turned his head to look at him, and immediately nodded and said: "This is the biggest difficulty in entering Shu from the west!" ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Li Zicheng again, and said solemnly: "For now, the Xingguo Gongsuo Department is the most elite army in the imperial court, and Sun Chuanting can be regarded as our old opponent. With our current strength, we can always fight! ”

"It's not that you can always fight, but you can definitely defeat Sun Chuanting, an old horseman!" When Li Zicheng heard this, he immediately said arrogantly.

As Song Xiance said, Li Zicheng can be said to know Sun Chuanting very well. After comparing with Na Xingguo Gong, he felt that he had a greater grasp of beating Sun Chuanting.

Hearing him say this, Song Xiance knew that Li Zicheng probably wanted to use that strategy, so he perfected: "General, if our goal is to take Shu as the foundation, we can release the news and go east to attack Ying Tianfu, and contact the other rebel armies to create enough momentum so that when the imperial court really thinks that we are going to attack Ying Tianfu and attract everyone's attention, we will secretly send an elite to seize the main road to Sichuan." ”

Li Zicheng stroked his palms and smiled when he heard this: "In this way, not only can it be easier to seize Shudi, but it can also let them eat dogs on the Jiangnan side, not bad, not bad!" ”

The others in the lobby listened and laughed one by one.

To tell the truth, I joined forces with Luo Rucai's department before, and more than 500,000 horses, known as millions, went to attack Kaifeng, and by the way, destroyed the Xingguo Gong. As a result, I didn't expect that the combat power that should have been brought into play was not brought into play at all, and it was simply restrained by the Xingguo Gong. So much so that later, it was a complete defeat, at least Luo Rucai's men and horses were all gone, not to mention, and he also lost the ordinary army on Li Zicheng's side.

If they are allowed to use their current military strength to fight and strengthen the Xingguo Public Office, they definitely don't have that confidence.

Now it's good, let the Duke of Xingguo go to the south of the Yangtze River with the five battalions of Gezuo and the eight kings to fight for life and death, but Li Zicheng's department secretly went to the land of Bashu to develop.

Such a good expectation, these people present are naturally the most happy to see it, and it's strange if they don't laugh!

So, needless to say, Li Zicheng finally chose this strategy. After planning with Song Xiance and others, he was ready to start implementing.

Xiangyang goes west, that is the direction of Hanzhong, there are continuous mountains in the way, there is no way to go. Therefore, Li Zicheng's troops had to continue to go south first, and then march west after reaching Jingzhou Mansion, and seize Kuizhou, an important place to hold Sichuan, and then they could attack Sichuan.

After the strategic plan was determined, Liu Zongmin, as the number one general under Li Zicheng, set off first, went south along the river, and it was best to seize Jingzhou Mansion, and then he would bluff eastward, but in fact he would go west.

On the day of the army's departure, Li Zicheng deliberately went to see Li Guo, who was being held by him, pointed at Li Guo's nose, and shouted angrily: "In less than three years, I want you to see whose world this world is!" ”

According to his estimates, after using Song Xiance's strategy, as long as he recuperates in Shu for three years, and the outside continues to be chaotic like this, when he comes out of Shu again, he will definitely not be afraid of anyone anymore!

Then he left in a rage.

Li Guo looked at his back and didn't say a word. Because he knows that today's Li Zicheng can't be pulled back by nine cows.

At this time, he didn't want to escape. After all, Li Zicheng is his uncle, and he has followed Li Zicheng to rebel for more than ten years, and his feelings are not ordinarily deep. He was worried about Li Laiheng, but because of Li Zicheng's ban, he couldn't see anyone, so he could only worry blindly.

Li Laiheng had already set out with Liu Zongmin, and arranged him in the first batch, Li Zicheng considered his relationship with Li Guo, and didn't want him to stay in the rear, so there would be chaos.

Sometimes, however, it doesn't mean that you can't get out of trouble if you don't want to.

Let's just say that Li Laiheng followed Liu Zongmin south, to be honest, he has been in a bad mood, and it can be said that he is depressed.

Liu Zongmin also saw it, so he left him in the rear army, and he and the others took the lead to attack Yicheng downstream.

This area of Xiangyang is also suffering from war.

Before, Zhang Xianzhong was recruited, and then he was placed on the side of Xiangyang.

Subsequently, Zhang Xianzhong soon rebelled again, united with the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution, laid down a lot of cities here in Xiangyang Mansion, and went all the way south to continue to attack Huguang.

Then, Xiangyang was taken back by the official army, and Ma Xianglin led the white pole army to garrison Xiangyang. If it is developed according to the original history, it will be attacked by thieves and capture Xiangyang, and Ma Xianglin will also die in this battle.

However, in this plane, Ma Xianglin's white pole army was transferred to Zhangjiakou. And Xiangyang was not taken away by Zhang Xianzhong again, but by Li Zicheng.

Thieves, officials and soldiers, and thieves, just like this, the originally prosperous Xiangyang Mansion can imagine what the situation will be.

Originally, Li Laiheng was lagging behind, and it meant to be distracted. However, along the way, there were weeds everywhere, the fields were barren, and the villages and towns he encountered were all ruins, which made him feel even worse after seeing it.

On the side of Kaifeng City, it has begun to recover its vitality, but there is no end in sight here.

What is it to fight for leading the troops yourself?

Whenever he thinks of this question, Li Laiheng's mind will always echo the chorus of the officers and soldiers of the Xingguo Gong Office in Kaifeng: "Fight for the peace of the world!" ”

Thinking of this, Li Laiheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He also participated in the military conference a few days ago. According to the plan of that Song dwarf, I don't know when the world will be peaceful? He didn't believe that even if he really had to implement Song Xiaozi's strategy, at most it would be to survive for a few years and make the world turbulent for a longer time. To say that hiding in Shu can win the Xingguo Gongshou Department, it is simply impossible!

At that time, during the military discussion, Li Laiheng discovered that the leaders of the rebel army, including Li Zicheng, were actually a little afraid of the Xingguo Public Office. Even in the face of Sun Chuanting, who had beaten the general to the point that only eighteen horsemen had fled into Shangluo Mountain, they didn't want to face the Duke of Xingguo. Why?

Because Xingguo Gong's side is too good at demagoguery, in the face of Xingguo Gong's troops, people's hearts are fluctuating, and they are very combative, and they have already gone to three points before the start of the fight, this kind of war fact is too weird, and no one wants to fight this kind of war.

Li Laiheng thought so, and suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in front of him.

Looking up, it was a messenger who came to report, saying that Liu Zongmin had defeated Yicheng, and the messenger was going to Xiangyang to report the good news to Li Zicheng.

After Li Laiheng heard this, he stopped thinking about it and hurriedly went to Yicheng.

When he arrived in Yicheng, he saw the banner of the rebel army fluttering on the top of the city.

However, Li Laiheng was not happy, but had a gloomy face, obviously in a bad mood.

I saw that the fire in the city was raging, and under the outer walls of the city, many people died.

These people, at a glance, knew that they were the surrounding people, men, women, old and weak, and they were driven to be cannon fodder.

Now that the fire in the city is rising, it is obvious that they are burning houses and stealing money and food.

Li Laiheng was furious when he saw all this, so he went to Liu Zongmin and asked, "Why do you do this?" Didn't the general give military orders? Do you dare to disobey? ”

When Liu Zongmin heard this, he was stunned at first, but then he immediately came back to his senses, and immediately laughed and said: "Before, the general wanted to use the Central Plains as the foundation, so of course he wanted to buy people's hearts!" But aren't you going to Shu now? If you don't do this, will it be cheaper for the court officials and soldiers? ”

After finishing speaking, he ignored Li Laiheng and left with his personal guards.

Every time he builds a city, it is Liu Zongmin's hobby to torture those old men and adults.

Li Laiheng looked at his back, listened to the wails that came from time to time in his ears, and saw the corpses of people falling to the ground one by one in the streets and alleys.

As he watched, his eyes slowly grew redder and redder, as if they were about to bleed.

Suddenly, he pulled the reins, turned his horse's head, and rushed out of the city.

Li Laiheng's men, with 2,000 cavalry, were led by him all the way to the north. When he waited at a fork in the road, on the one hand, to Xiangyang, and on the other hand, to continue north to Xinye, and into Henan, Li Laiheng stopped and said loudly to his men: "Brothers, I will open the skylight and say something!" ”
