These words are very weighty, and Lao Hui glanced back at Zhang Xianzhong, snorted, and retracted his hand. Zhang Xianzhong also straightened his clothes and looked at Li Zicheng: "General Li Chuang, do you also agree with what Lao Ma said?" ”

Li Zicheng looked at Gao Yingxiang, Gao Yingxiang nodded slightly, so Li Zicheng said: "I also have an idea, I don't know if everyone agrees with it or not." [Full text reading. 】”

Lao Hui replied: "If you have any ideas, just say it." ”

Li Zicheng said: "The idea of returning to the old man can be regarded as a method, not that he is afraid of death." But the words of the eight kings also make sense, what if we enter Shanxi, the officials and soldiers will chase after us. Moreover, we stayed in Shanxi for a short time, and the terrain was unfamiliar, so we did not take advantage. Therefore, I think that entering Shanxi is not the best policy. ”

Lao Huihui frowned: "Then what is your best strategy?" ”

Li Zicheng looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him, waiting for him to speak, so he cleared his throat: "The first thing I want to say is that one husband is desperate, and it is difficult for ten thousand people, not to mention that we have 300,000 horses in our hands." If you really want to fight for your life, the official army is not our opponent, so there is no need to be afraid of the official army at all. How about the Guanning Iron Ride? Didn't your father raise her by her parents? Are they all invulnerable? As long as everyone works together, it is not impossible to defeat the official army. ”

In just a few words, everyone's confidence was immediately raised, and a smile appeared on everyone's faces.

In fact, since the early years of Chongzhen, since the rebellion of the commanders, they have always been afraid of the elite officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. In particular, Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu and others killed countless peasant troops, and many of them were killed by their own hands, until last year, when Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Ru besieged Xi'an, they were also killed by a small number of Hong Chengchou's men and horses, so these peasant armies were very afraid of the official army. In their eyes, Cao Wenzhao and others are simply gods who dare not be defeated.

However, everything is extreme, these bosses have always been afraid of the official army, and over time, the resentment against the official army has become deeper and deeper, and by this time, it has reached its peak. It's the same for anyone, a vicious dog always chases you and bites, where you run, where it chases, and in the end, no matter how cowardly people are, they will copy the guy and fight.

Therefore, Li Zicheng's words greatly boosted the morale of these people.

Li Zicheng continued: "But in a war, it's not a child fight after all, everyone rushes up and fights indiscriminately, especially with so many of us, if we don't have a strategy, we will eventually be defeated by the official army." You must know that Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng are both handsome. ”

Lao Hui's tone softened a little: "General, tell me, if you want to fight, how should you fight?" ”

Li Zicheng saw that the time was ripe, and from everyone's eyes, he could see that everyone really had no good way but to listen to him.

He picked up a glass of wine, drank it, and then put the wine glass down: "I have an idea, but we need everyone to work together to frustrate the momentum of the officers and soldiers." As long as this plan is successful and the trouble is not good, Chongzhen will cut off the heads of Hong Chengchou and others. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly thought: This is incredible, Hong Chengchou and others are Chongzhen's favorite generals, and the red people in their eyes, how could they help the peasant army and kill him?

So everyone looked at Li Zicheng intently and listened to what he said.

Li Zicheng saw that everyone didn't believe what he said, so he smiled: "As for whether to kill Hong Chengchou or not, that's Chongzhen's business, let's not care about it for now, what we have to do is to kill the momentum of the official army." I've already thought about it, Li Guo, hang up the map. ”

A tiger that accompanied him, Li Guo, hung the map on the pillars of the main hall.

Li Zicheng pulled out his sword, walked to the map, pointed to the terrain above, and said: "In the current situation, the officers and troops have rushed towards us from the east, west, and north, wanting to encircle us in Xingyang and annihilate them with one blow. If we want to break the plan of the official army, we can only divide our troops to deal with it. I think like this, all the men and horses are divided into five, some of the men and horses go west, block Hong Chengchou, part of the men and horses go southwest, block Lu Xiangsheng, one part of the men and horses go north, and the officers and troops from Zhili confront the army, one part of the men and horses attack to the southeast, and one part of the men and horses, stay here, as a backup for the men and horses of each department. Among these troops, the main action of attacking to the southeast is the main action, and the rest of the units must cover their actions. ”

Guo Tianxing said: "Attack to the southeast? Why? ”

Li Zicheng smiled: "Because in the southeast direction, there is a land boundary, which is the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Ge Li said: "The lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty, you mean Nanjing?" That place can't be beaten, the city is strong, there are many officers and soldiers, and to attack it is to find death. ”

Li Zicheng said: "I'm not talking about Nanjing, but Fengyang. ”

Everyone was stunned: "Fengyang? Fengyang is the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Li Zicheng said: "There is Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown, and his ancestral grave is in Fengyang." This time, we are going to dig the ancestral grave of the Zhu family and cut off the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Everyone looked at each other, because the idea proposed by Li Zicheng was too amazing and unexpected.

China has existed for thousands of years, to say that the most ruthless feud between the two sides is not to kill their fathers and wives, but to dig their ancestral graves, the Ming Dynasty is a digger, if the ancestral graves are really dug up, Chongzhen's anger, you don't have to think about it.

But these peasant army leaders hesitated. Everyone came out to rebel, nothing more than to ask for a life, and now it's a big trouble, so they want to drink wine in a big bowl, eat meat in large pieces, divide gold and silver on scales, wear silk and satin in sets, some lustful people, and often yin wives and daughters, in fact, there is no deep hatred with the official army, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can run, if you can't run, you will surrender, the worst is that you can still be recruited, and you can be a low-level officer or something.

But if you really want to dig up the ancestral grave of the Ming Dynasty, then it's another matter.

At that time, Chongzhen will regard the peasant army as an enemy who does not share the sky, and Zhao'an cannot be discussed, and surrender may not be able to save his life. Therefore, everyone is still a little worried about this kind of ruthless thing.

Li Zicheng saw it, and then said: "Of course, the matter of digging the ancestral grave of the Zhu family is too ruthless, once it is done, it will be a mortal enemy with the Ming Dynasty, and there is no way out." But I ask you to think about it, which dynasty and which generation, but how many of the people who rebelled were really let go by the court? In fact, since the day we rebelled, we have already formed a mortal enmity with the Ming Dynasty. If you do it, you will die, and if you don't do it, why not do it vigorously! And as long as this thing is done, it will immediately cause a sensation in the world, and the name of our righteous army will be known all over the world. At that time, the suffering people must have applauded, and it would be much easier for us to pull the team again. ”

Zhang Xianzhong already had a tacit understanding, and first agreed: "General Chuang is right, we people are pinned to the waistband of our trousers, and a few days are counted as a few days, rather than being killed by the officials and soldiers in a nest, it is better to fight it." Lao Tzu is not afraid of things, the bigger the matter, the better, the more prosperous the fire, the better, I will go with you. ”

Guotianxing Hui Dengxiang also stood up: "Count me in, we have been bullied enough by the official army this year, if we can get angry, why don't we do it?" Mixed 100,000 Ma Jinzhong also said: "In Lao Tzu's life, he has never dug the ancestral grave of the official family!" I'll go too. ”

As soon as these people quarreled, the scene immediately became lively. They were the more powerful of the thirteen families, and each of them was surrounded by several battalions of men and horses, and as soon as they expressed their position, the leaders in those camps also agreed.

When the hall was neutral, there was a lot of noise, slapping the table, smashing wine bowls, high-fives and drawing knives, and it was a mess.

At this time, Gao Yingxiang gently knocked the table with the bottom of the bowl, and the rhythmic sound slowly attracted everyone's attention, and when he looked here, it was King Chuang, so everyone slowly sat down and held their breath, knowing that he had something to say.

Gao Yingxiang waited until everyone in the hall stopped talking, then stood up and said, "What do you think of General Li Chuang's strategy?" Those who agreed raised their hands. ”

I saw that more than a hundred leaders in the main hall raised their hands one after another, and Gao Yingxiang roughly calculated, there were sixty or seventy arms. It's more than half. So he nodded and motioned for everyone to put their hands down: "Since more than half of everyone agrees with this plan, then I have no objection." Just do it according to this plan. Then everyone can go their separate ways, which also requires a master plan. Let's take a stand, what Li Chuang said, five directions, who wants to go where? ”

This question immediately blew up again, many people stood up and shouted that they were willing to go to the southeast to attack Fengyang, and almost no one was willing to face Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng.

There was a mess in the hall, and almost all of these palms were from old and rough backgrounds, and their voices were high, and they were like toads making trouble for a while, and it hurt to hear people's ears.

It was Gao Yingxiang who suppressed everyone's voices, he slapped the table and shouted: "What is it like to be so noisy!" ”

As soon as everyone saw that King Chuang was angry, they stopped arguing, Gao Yingxiang looked around and said indifferently: "Let's catch lots." ”

All of a sudden, everyone was speechless.

For a relatively loose alliance such as the peasant army, drawing lots is the fairest method, relying entirely on their own luck, willing to gamble and lose, and each according to the destiny of heaven.

But some people raised objections, or the old Hui Ma Shouying, his Gezuo battalion is strong, and he has always had no fear of Gao Yingxiang, so he still dares to speak, he got up and said: "Drawing lots is a good way, but the person who is in charge of catching lots still needs to find an outsider." ”

Gao Yingxiang smiled indifferently: "This is natural." But now, where to find an outsider? ”

Breaking into the heavens: "Otherwise, I captured Xingyang, and there are still many gentry in the city, so I can propose one to be in charge." ”

Ma Shouying shook his head again and again: "This is not good, those gentry are frightened, can they not secretly help you break through the sky?" Besides, such a major event must not be known by the government. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said suddenly: "I have a person in my hand. It should be ok. ”

Ma Shouying said: "It's also a gentry? Zhang Xianzhong shook his head: "This person is from the Qin army." ”

When they heard this, everyone was stunned.
