As soon as Wei Hui was captured, news of the defeat of the righteous army kept coming, and King Chuang Yingxiang pondered: "The officers and soldiers must have come to reinforcements again, otherwise, Zuo Liangyu would not have slowed down so quickly." ”

Li Zicheng had just won for a while, his morale was high, and he answered: "I think this Zuo Liangyu is nothing more than that, what are you afraid of him when reinforcements come?" ”

Yan Yingxiang glanced at him, and said reproachfully: "But so? Hmph, even if reinforcements come, he can ease up so quickly, I don't think it's easy. ”

After speaking, he said: "Don't forget that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and those who can achieve great things must be sober-minded at any time." ”

Li Zicheng knew that he was anxious, but he didn't expect him to speak so harshly, so he couldn't help but bow his head and stop talking.

He sighed, and was about to speak, but saw Zhang Nai hurriedly come in, and said: "King Qiyu Chuang and the leaders, according to the secret report, the imperial court ordered Ni Chong and Wang Pu to be the chief soldiers, and the eunuchs Yang Jinchao and Lu Jiude to be the overseers, led 6,000 Beijing battalions to aid Henan, and now they have arrived in Henan.

In addition, in order to prevent Zuo Liangyu, Li Bei and others from being dissatisfied, they accepted the suggestion of Li Jizhen in Langzhong, and promoted the two to the governors of the capital, to be the commander-in-chief of the military to aid and suppress, and sent eunuchs to supervise the army of Liangyu and others. ”

Hearing this, King Chuang Yingxiang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Since then, the power of the officers and soldiers has become great again, although the imperial court once again adopts Wei Zhongxian's past set, which will inevitably make the officers and soldiers have many internal contradictions, but on the issue of purging us, they are still unanimous."

In other words, this force should not be underestimated. So, we have to come up with our countermeasures as soon as possible, so let's talk about it. ”

Everyone is used to following the crowd, where is there any way to deal with it?

Although Li Zicheng has considered it, it is not yet mature, this is another meeting of leaders, without the permission of Wang Yingxiang, Li Zicheng does not dare to talk nonsense.

For a while, no one spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull.

When Cao Cao saw it, he shook his head and said, "The soldiers are pressing, the situation is in crisis, it's too late to consume it, let me say a few words." ”

As he spoke, he looked around at the crowd and saw that everyone was looking at him together, and then said, "Why does the imperial court call us Liukou, isn't it because of our flow?" If we can't, we'll keep flowing.

If we want to move, we should not gather together to move, lest we be annihilated by the officers and soldiers. However, if the distribution is too scattered and it is easy to be broken one by one, we might as well voluntarily pair up and separate the flow, and the chances of survival will definitely be greater.

How does it flow? Flying all over the sky, making noise everywhere, so that the officers and soldiers are not at peace, see how long they can last? ”

Cao Cao said this, naturally has his own calculations: "In addition to the Yingxiang Department, our power is the largest, whoever has the most power, the greater the possibility of survival, hum, let's propose to disperse and voluntarily pair, if anyone follows us, they will not listen to us much in the future, as for those who are small and unwilling to be obedient, let them fend for themselves." ”

Everyone is not stupid, and Deng Shi understood his intentions: "In addition to King Chuang, he has the greatest power, oh, he wants to throw off the burden." Thinking about it, everyone shook their heads in disagreement.

King Chuang was thinking: "Although his method is too selfish, it may not be a solution. ”

Thinking about it, he said: "Since the Taihang, everyone should have been replenished, if everyone keeps in touch and supports each other, your method will still work." ”

"Supporting each other? Hmph, when that time comes, everyone is only concerned about fleeing for their lives, except for your alliance leader, who will support whom? ”

Everyone thought to themselves, but they just shook their heads.

Chuang Wang Yingxiang was about to say more, but Zhang Nai hurriedly came in and said: "Zuo Liangyu and others have brought officers and soldiers to surround them, and they are less than ten miles away from here, please make a decision quickly." ”

King Chuang hurriedly said: "The ten-mile journey, for the cavalry, is just a blink of an eye, okay, don't fight, just according to your opinion, evacuate quickly." ”

After that, he took Li Zicheng and others to the west.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and when they saw that they were heading west, except for a few roads that they felt that they had a good relationship with Cao Cao, they all followed to the west.

In this way, the movement was inevitably bigger, and Zuo Liangyu and the others chased after them all the way.

Even though Gao Yingxiang ordered Li Zicheng's eight battalions to be used as a mobile force to rush back and forth to help, there were still several rebel armies that were defeated in Jiyuan and Hanoi.

Because the imperial court sent eunuchs as supervisors, Zuo Liangyu and others were not happy, and they wanted to avenge their defeat in Wu'an and the annihilation of Ma Fengyi's entire army.

King Chuang Gao Yingxiang led his troops to finally retreat to a safe place, ordered Li Zicheng to gather his troops, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

The sigh continued, and the Chinese army hurried over and said: "Qi Yu Chuang Wang, Luo Leader and other leaders, unfortunately in Henan's Niuwei, Liuquan, Menghu Village and other places, encountered the officers and soldiers Tang Jiuzhou Department, the situation is critical, please rush to rescue, please Chuang Wang decide." ”

What's going on here? It turned out that this Luo Rucai said that he was flying all over the sky and making trouble everywhere, and after dividing the troops, in order to preserve his strength, he didn't distinguish between the east and the west, the north and the south, and only cared about fleeing for his life, and ran into the ambush of the officers and soldiers Tang Kyushu.

Luo Rucai still had some knowledge, saw the opportunity, and was about to slip away, but unexpectedly ran into Zuo Liangyu, who had returned from victory, and was defeated in battle, so he had to retreat back, and hurriedly ordered someone to put on makeup and come out for help.

King Chuang said: "What is the decision, although he is a little selfish, but after all, he is also our like-minded brother, go and save him quickly." ”

Anyway, he has taken the lead.

Walking, seeing that Li Zicheng and others were extremely reluctant, he said: "Yes, we have just come out of danger, and once we go, we will inevitably go back to danger again, but you have to remember that where people's prestige comes from, it comes from these reluctant feelings of life and death." ”

Li Zicheng and the others didn't think so, but seeing what he said firmly, although he was reluctant, he still had to follow.

At this time, Luo Rucai was already desperate, and when he heard that King Chuang was really coming, he was greatly refreshed, and led his troops to fight with King Chuang inside and out, and finally joined forces with King Chuang.

didn't have time to be happy, Ni Chong and Wang Pu led the Beijing battalion soldiers to follow again, making it clear that they wanted to put the headquarters of King Chuang into the encirclement.

Seeing that something was wrong, King Chuang Gao Yingxiang said in a loud voice: "All departments and battalions are engaged in battle quickly, and they must rush out before the encirclement is closed. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a group of people galloping over, everyone was busy on guard, and when they were about to engage in battle, it was Zhang Miaoshou and He Shuangquan, followed by Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong didn't want the situation to be so bad, he secretly remorseed, and wanted to retreat, but Xu Yixian persuaded him through the mandate of heaven, saying that King Gao Yingxiang's life should not be stopped here, and he would make great contributions, so he followed.

Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, didn't know, he only said that he was loyal, came over and pulled his hand and said: "The sky will not kill me, and I will order Zhang Chuang to come back to help, and the leaders of all walks of life, this will rush out with Gao." ”

With that, he shouted "Kill-" and drove his horse out first.
