Running wildly all the way, sweating profusely, Li Zichengcai grabbed the reins of the horse and said, "No, is it in the wrong direction?" Otherwise, after all this time, it should have happened, right? ”

After his reminder, everyone thought so, and said: "This direction is the direction guided by the Tanma, yes, why didn't you encounter anything?" ”

It was strange, but when I saw a team of people flying towards me, I came to the front after a while, and when I saw that it was them, I fell off my horse one after another, and wept bitterly.

Li Zicheng knew that the person who came was Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun. Yuan Zongdi and Liu Tichun were both old brothers of Li Zicheng's army, and this time they went out with Zhang Cunmeng. Seeing them like this, Governor Li Zicheng had a change, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Everyone stopped crying, and Yuan Zongdi said indignantly: "It's really an eye-opener, it seems that this kind of war is really unheard of." Really, there is no order for the siege, there is no order for the retreat, and when you encounter an ambush, you don't go to command and dispatch, you can't run away, you just surrender. ”

Although Li Zicheng was prepared, he was still shocked and said, "Could it be that he surrendered?" ”

Yuan Zongdi said: "Hmph, not only did he surrender, but he also killed the two-winged tiger with his own hands and sacrificed the purple gold dragon, like such a person, why are so many people willing to believe him?" ”

Li Zicheng let out an "oh", and before he could speak, Tian Jianxiu had already answered: "After years of famine, the officials took the opportunity to exploit it, and people really couldn't survive. ”

Everyone wanted to say more, but Li Zicheng said: "Don't count him down, he is dead." ”

Liu Tichun said: "How do you know that he is dead?" According to those who escaped, Hong Chengchou had kidnapped him, and he was still clamoring to see Lord Yang. Where was Hong Chengchou willing to listen, he killed him halfway. Alas, he was also a hero for a while, and that was really miserable. ”

When Li Zicheng heard this, he sighed: "Alas, I have persuaded him countless times, don't surrender when you meet Hong Chengchou, why doesn't he listen?" ”

Yuan Zongdi said: "How could he listen to you? Hmph, don't look at what he says nicely, just because everyone is willing to believe you, along the way, he has said a lot of bad things about you. ”

Li Zicheng had already felt Zhang Cunmeng's dissatisfaction, but he didn't want it to be like this, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, intending to listen to everyone's opinions, so he pretended to be contemplative and didn't speak.

Dang Shousu said: "Like this kind of person, if he dies, he will die, don't talk about him, let's quickly discuss what we should do next." ”

When everyone heard this, they lowered their heads and thought about it. Undoubtedly, everyone thought of a solution, but they all felt that it was not feasible and denied it on their own.

In this way, the atmosphere inevitably seemed a little stuffy, Tian Jianxiu cleared his throat and said: "Since Shaanxi is going to change the sky, we might as well cross the Yellow River east and go to Shanxi to meet Wang Ziyong, Yan Yingxiang and others, and develop together." A few days ago, after the 'Yellow Tiger' Zhang Xianzhong's troops were defeated in Qingjian County, they also went, and now they have become the strongest battalion of the 36th battalion of the alliance leader. In this way, group development is indeed a good choice. ”

Tian Jianxiu is benevolent and never speaks much, as long as he opens his mouth, he must have thought it through.

As soon as his words fell, Li Guo immediately answered: "That's right, let's see how the officers and soldiers still use tricks to develop in a group?" ”

As he spoke, he saw Yuan Zongdi, Dang Shousu and other old brothers nodding their heads together, and said in a mocking manner: "Let's make it clear, let's go and have more advantages than Huang Huzi, the big hero named Yan Yingxiang is my distant uncle." ”

After speaking, he looked at Li Zicheng with his eyes and asked Li Zicheng to speak.

Everyone had never heard of it, and they couldn't help but be surprised, and couldn't help but turn their eyes to Li Zicheng like Li Guo.

Li Zicheng originally wanted to listen to everyone's opinions again, but seeing that everyone was like this, it was not good to stop talking, and said: "There is indeed such a relationship, but even if we go to meet, it depends on ability, not relationship, and everyone must remember this." ”

Everyone nodded busily, but their eyes remained on him.

Li Zicheng knew what they meant, paused, turned to Tian Jianxiu and the others, and said, "It seems that everyone means this?" ”

Afraid of interrupting his conversation, the crowd nodded hurriedly, and he asked again, "So, what about the original brother of Leader Zhang?" ”

After Hong Chengchou collected his troops, the scattered brothers slowly gathered again, and when they heard the question, they almost said in unison: "I will wait for Captain Li to be the first to look forward." ”

When Li Zicheng heard this, his hanging heart finally fell, and his confidence became more and more, and he said: "Group development, yes, but what I mean is not to cross the Yellow River east for the time being, and develop another section in Shaanxi." ”

As he spoke, he looked at everyone, saw that everyone was surprised, and said with a smile: "Everyone thinks it's strange, right?" Actually, there is nothing strange about this, you might as well think patiently, how did the rebel army gain a foothold? With strength, without strength, everything is empty talk.

After this battle, how much money do we still have, I don't know if you have counted it? I have calculated, we have suffered heavy losses in this battle, only with our current strength, not to mention the development of the group, whether we can get to Shanxi or not.

This is the first reason why I said not to cross the Yellow River for the time being, and the second reason is that we must not abandon the brothers who have been scattered, unless we have to do so, we must find them and take them with us, and this should be a principle for us in the future.

There is a more important reason, that is, although Shaanxi is about to change, it has not changed after all, and there should be a golden period of our development.

Why? After all, the governor of the three sides is still Yang He, and Hong Chengchou is only the governor of Yansui, even if he is disobedient, he will not reach out to other places.

I expected that Yang He must have foreseen the coming of the end of the world, and after the decadence, he must do his best to restrain Hong Chengchou and continue to implement his strategy. Otherwise, he wouldn't be called Yang He.

Let's avoid the truth and make a fuss, and pick the weak places to make trouble, but don't hurt them, lest the court get Yang He away early. It's also buying time for ourselves.

In this case, we can no longer grow, and the principles of heaven will not tolerate it, you say, yes or no? ”

Everyone suddenly brightened up and said yes in unison.

Li Zicheng expected it right, after Yang He was decadent for a while, he actually looked down on it a lot: "Now, the governor of the three sides is still me Yang He, hmph, as long as the court does not dismiss me for a day, I have the power of the governor of the three sides."

Look at the current imperial court, even if those bigwigs, which one can stay in one position for a long time? Because of this, who is in a position that does not use his power to the fullest?

They are used to the fullest but for their own personal gain, and we are just for Shaanxi, for the court, compared to them, we are more noble in any case. ”

Thinking like this, Yang He regained his strength, but he still inevitably had to shrink back in his actions, so he persuaded himself again: "No way, the thinking has already formed a fixed situation, and it is difficult to change, unless we contribute ourselves, why bother?"

However, we must not let go of those who have set up obstacles for us. Hmph, especially that Hong Chengchou, we can't handle all the officials in Shaanxi, and you should be quite redundant. ”
