The news spread, and the officials were shaken.

Because he verified a guess that he didn't dare to say in his heart, although Hong Chengchou concurrently served as the military governor of the five provinces as he wished, he still couldn't be happy.

He glanced at the generals who were waiting for him to speak, looked helpless, and said, "As Hong expected, you should take it as a warning." ”

"When he was in Qinzhou, he had expected Chen Qiyu's today, and he was a god of fruits." The generals sighed to themselves, waiting for him to continue, trying to gain something.

Hong Chengchou had already walked to the map, pointed to Guanzhong, and said: "After the Liukou surrendered and rebelled, they were harassed all the way, and now most of them have flowed to Guanzhong.

Guanzhong south leans on the Qinling Mountains, the Wei River passes through it, the material is rich and the treasure is good, and the people are outstanding. There are natural terrain barriers on all sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are ancient sayings of "the country of four stops" and "thousands of miles of golden city", the title of "the country of abundance" is many years earlier than Chengdu, and they must not be allowed to gain a firm foothold there.

In addition, Gao Jiaji, the leader of the Liukou in Shanxi, has been annihilated, and some of the Liukou who entered Sichuan through Hubei have been wiped out by Chen Qiyu, and the rest have fled into Henan.

As you all know, those who have won the Central Plains since ancient times have won the world. If the Liukou can be exterminated in Shaanxi and Jin provinces, it is possible to control the war in local areas.

Once it is allowed to enter the Central Plains, it can enter Chu in the south, and the Yangtze River can indicate the Longxing land of the royal family in the east - Fengyang, Anhui, and the Jizhong Plain can be harassed in the north, Tuchuan can be in the west, or return to Shaanxi, the hometown of the chiefs.

Therefore, how dare you have the slightest complacency and slackness when the burden is heavy on your shoulders? ”

After speaking, he sighed and sighed.

Just as he was sighing, the Chinese army hurriedly came in and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, there has been a mutiny in Xining, please make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Xining leads to Haizang on the right, Ganliang on the left, controls the border, and Weiping Central Plains has always been a place where soldiers must fight. ”

The rebels were all overjoyed and rushed to pass: "Chen Qiyu, the executioner, finally reaped the consequences of his own evil and went to the border with the army!" ”

Chuang Wang Yingxiang said: "Chen Qiyu deserves his crimes, and evil is rewarded, and he is worthy of congratulations." ”

As he spoke, he changed his words and said: "According to the secret report, the imperial court ordered Hong Chengchou to concurrently serve as the military governor of the five provinces, and this Hong Chengchou is not a good stubble, so we should have been prepared for it." ”

Zhang Xianzhong continued: "King Chuang's worries are reasonable, but it always takes time for this Hong Chengchou to take over, and his thinking is different from Chen Qiyu's. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zicheng came in and said: "God-given opportunity, there was a mutiny in Xining, and Hong Chengchou has personally rushed to Xining." ”

King Chuang Yingxiang let out an "oh", hurriedly walked to the map, and measured.

Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others saw it and hurriedly followed.

Chuang Wang Yingxiang used his right index finger to draw a circle on the map, and said confidently: "Since Hong Chengchou goes to Xining, he will have no time to look east, Gongchang, Pingliang, Lintao, Fengxiang and dozens of prefectures and counties, haven't they all become our activity areas?"

This is not a small piece, and we can develop ourselves as hard as we can. Hmph, when we grow stronger, what are you afraid of him Hong Chengchou? When the time comes, we can also conquer the original and encircle Longzhou. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said worriedly: "According to the report, Hong Chengchou has gone to the imperial court and plans to transfer troops from other provinces in, it seems that he is determined to eliminate us." ”

Chuang Wang Yingxiang let out an "oh" and said: "This is new news, you can't ignore it, you have to pay attention to it at any time, so that we can deal with it as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Xianzhong responded, "I will." ", and said: "I heard that the scale of the Xining mutiny is not large, Hong Chengchou went, I'm afraid it won't take many days to calm down, he will definitely come back, what should I do?" ”

Li Zicheng said: "Actually, as long as you deal with it properly, what is so terrible about Hong Chengchou?" And to deal with it properly, we must first overcome our fear. ”

Chuang Wang Yingxiang said: "What is said is very true, only when people have no psychological burden, it is possible to think carefully, as long as they are thoughtful, it is not difficult to come up with a way." ”

As he spoke, he went to look at the map again.

When Li Zicheng heard this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in front of him, and he pointed to the map and said: "When the time comes, we can retreat into Zhongnan Mountain, hmph, as long as we enter the mountain, Hong Chengchou has great skills, what can he do with us?"

Then he chose the opportunity to go east, breaking Dongzhou, Lingbao, Bishui, and Xingyang. If you encounter the obstruction of the officers and soldiers, if you want to fight, you will fight, and if you don't fight, you will move to Meishan and Qinshui, divide your troops to pull out Cai, and occupy Runing......"

Before he finished speaking, the Chinese army hurriedly came in and said: "King Qiqi and the two generals, He Renlong and Zhang Tianli led the troops to attack, please make a decision quickly." ”

Li Zicheng was stunned, turned to Tian Jianxiu and said, "My letter to He Renlong was not delivered?" ”

Tian Jianxiu said: "It's delivered, but it's a pity that this fellow of yours is desperate to be an accomplice of the imperial court, and he actually killed the person who delivered the letter, and hung it on the city gate. ”

When Li Zicheng heard this, he squeezed out three words from between his teeth for a while: "I don't know how to be interested." ”

Chuang Wang Yingxiang once heard Li Zicheng talk about this, and said with a smile: "The reason why the court is the court is the court is precisely because there are these loyal people, there is no way, since people have already come to the door, let's fight." ”

Li Zicheng snorted coldly, and Okita Mixiu and the others beckoned, and turned around.

After he left, Zhang Xianzhong turned to Chuang Wang Yingxiang, and said meaningfully: "Lest I don't be ruthless to my fellow countrymen, and I will also help him?" ”

The most annoying thing about King Chuang Yingxiang was the tone of his speech, and he was extremely disdainful in his heart, but he forcibly endured it, and said: "Between brothers, the most difficult thing to get is trust, go ahead." ”

He Renlong and Zhang Tianli had already led their troops into the valley, and seeing the strange mountains on both sides, Zhang Tianli couldn't help but say: "We must be careful, so as not to fall into an ambush by the rogue." ”

He Renlong said disapprerovingly: "How can Liukou have such insight? It's good if I don't ambush them, but how could they think of ambushing us? Even if they thought of it, how dare they? ”

As he spoke, seeing Zhang Tianli's unbelievable look, he said, "Hmph, that Li Zicheng actually wants to persuade me to rebel under the banner of a fellow countryman?" If he hadn't been at the end of his rope, he would have dared to think of such a trick? ”

As he was talking, an army blocked the way in front and behind, and he was busy fighting separately from Zhang Tianli.

It was Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong who stood in the way.

Li Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, where is he willing to be tolerant? Zhang Xianzhong is determined to compete with Li Zicheng, where is he willing to give in the slightest?

He Renlong and Zhang Tianli didn't want them to have such combat power just after escaping, so they were defeated after a while and fled from the path.

He Renlong and Zhang Tianli's troops were defeated, and Yan Yingxiang led his troops to take advantage of the situation to develop, and the righteous army quickly grew to 200,000 people, conquered Guyuan, killed Lu Menglong of Guyuan Dao, and surrounded Longzhou, and watched it for more than 40 days.
