This time, even Li Zicheng was overjoyed, after all, such a thing is unlikely to happen once, let alone three times in a row. Liu Zongmin was so happy that his two big hands couldn't be clapped together, and he hugged Song Xiance and laughed: "Sir, you are really a fairy, you are too accurate, too accurate......"

Li Zicheng finally smiled at Song Xiance: "Sir, if the divination is true, I want to ask Mr. to fight the world with me, you are my military advisor, my Zhuge Liang." [No pop-ups. 】”

Song Xiance also smiled: "Don't hide it from the king, I came here to find you." Not only to tell you the will of God, but also to have a message. ”

Li Zicheng said: "It must be good news to think about it. ”

Song Xiance said: "Yes, as the saying goes, if you don't have a great Tailai, the most unlucky time for King Chuang is about to pass, and it will soon usher in a new turnaround." I recently heard that Mrs. Gao is still alive, not only alive, but also with the Qin army, erecting a banner in Tongguan to recruit scattered people, it is said that there are already thousands of people. ”

As soon as they heard this, Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin were overjoyed again, these days, Li Zicheng has been thinking about Mrs. Gao, and now that he heard that she is still alive, he is naturally happy.

Li Zicheng said: "In this case, we can't go around in the mountains, we have to go to Tongguan quickly." ”

The three of them walked out of the small temple and returned to the house where everyone was roasting, Tian Jianxiu took a look, there was one more dwarf-like person, and was about to ask, Li Zicheng introduced first: "Everyone, see who I brought to you?" This gentleman is the famous Song Child, Mr. Advice. ”

Everyone knew his name and hurriedly jumped up to salute.

Liu Zongmin was anxious, and immediately told the nursery rhyme prophecy brought by Song Xiance, and also talked about the divination in the mountain temple, which was amazing, and everyone was excited when they heard it. Long live the hurrah.

Li Zicheng motioned for everyone to be silent, and then said: "Don't take the matter of divination too seriously, Mr. Song learned that Mrs. Gao is still alive, and she has erected a big flag in Tongguan to recruit troops and horses, we need to hurry up." ”

Zhongxi, in the mountains for nearly a month, this pain is really difficult, so one by one vigorous, go out on the horse, Song Xiance pointed the direction, Tian Jianxiu let Song Xiance sit in front of Li Shuangxi, the two of them rode a horse, Li Shuangxi is still a half-grown child, the body is light, so a horse carries two people, and there is no weight.

A group of twenty people, taking the path, went straight to Tongguan. Very careful on the road, Tian Jianxiu sentry in front, to avoid encountering the official army, they walked for two days, only then out of Funiu Mountain, and then rested during the day, hurried at night, and rushed to Tongguan unconsciously.

Five days later, they arrived at Lingbao. There is a river in the territory of Lingbao, although it is winter, there is no freezing, because the river is not wide, so there are no ferryboats, only two stone bridges, and the two banks of the river to communicate.

However, on the side of each of these two bridges, there is a military camp with about 100 officers and soldiers stationed.

It turned out that this place was close to Tongguan, and after the Qin army accepted Mrs. Gao, the court immediately knew, and Chongzhen also knew that the Qin army would not really surrender, the two sides were just negotiating peace, and now that the Qin army had recovered its vitality, it was natural to make a move. Therefore, he did not dare to slack off, and ordered Hong Chengchou to be on guard, be careful, and wait for Yang Sichang to completely wipe out Zhang Xianzhong, and then return to Henan, and the two of them will deal with the Qin army together.

Hong Chengchou knew the strength of the Qin army, so he ordered all the checkpoints and counties near Tongguan to strengthen their defenses, and set up sentry posts on every choke point, and check the people who came and went.

Li Zicheng and the others have bypassed many checkpoints, and thanks to Song Xiance in the team, he is very familiar with the geography of the Central Plains, so he arrived in Lingbao safely.

But Song Xiance knew that this river could not be bypassed, and the more he went to both sides, the more checkpoints there were, so these two bridges became the only passage. In any case, rush through. As long as you cross the river, fifty miles ahead is Tongguan.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and Li Zicheng ordered everyone to hide in the dense forest away from the main road, and wait quietly for dark. Everyone knows that tonight, there will be a murderous battle, so everyone hurry up and go to bed in shifts. Li Zicheng asked Song Xiance and had a preliminary impression of the two bridges, but he had to go and see them with his own eyes.

So he and Liu Zongmin changed into peasant clothes, carried some copper coins in their arms, pretended to be idle farmers, and walked side by side in the direction of the stone bridge.

After walking for about half an hour, I saw a stone bridge. Another stone bridge was twenty miles to the south, too far away and wasting horsepower, so Li Zicheng decided to cross the river here.

The two came to the vicinity of the bridge, took a closer look, and sure enough, they saw a military camp.

There are more than a dozen big tents in this camp, and the camp is full of officers and soldiers from time to time, and then look at the bridge, there is also a group of officers and soldiers, a hundred general sitting on the bridge pier, throwing stones into the river boringly, and several other officers and soldiers are checking the passers-by. The search was really close.

The two came to the bridge, and were drunk by the officers and soldiers, and then asked where they lived and where to cross the bridge, and the two replied in the Henan dialect, and the soldiers saw that there was no flaw, and searched their bodies as usual, but there were no weapons, so they let them go.

Li Zicheng walked across the bridge, carefully looked at the length and width of the bridge, and had a bottom in his heart. After wandering around with Liu Zongmin for a while, he returned the same way.

Only this time, Li Zicheng was already confident, and he decided that his party would be able to cross the river.

It was easy to get dark, and everyone jumped up, full of energy and high morale. Li Zicheng instructed everyone to tidy up the war horses, these people tightened their horses, tightened their horses, chewed them, and saddled their horses, everything was packed up, and the war horses would not neigh, exposing the target, and then everyone got on their horses and trotted towards the river.

At night, the garrison at the bridgehead was actually stricter, and there was an extra shift, about 30 officers and soldiers, guarding the bridgehead, one by one, their hands and feet were cold, and they kept stomping their feet and cursing in a low voice. Not only the soldiers, but even the officers couldn't stop complaining about their superiors, and then they couldn't stand the cold, so a hundred generals asked the soldiers to bring a few jars of liquor from the camp, and everyone gathered around the fire and poured wine in turn.

At this time, Li Zicheng and they approached the bridgehead.

An officer and soldier heard the sound of horses' hooves, and couldn't help but be stunned, turned his head to look, there seemed to be a group of people and horses in the dark shadow in the distance, coming here, he shouted: "Lu Tou'er, it seems that someone ......."

The Bai Zong surnamed Lu was stunned, stood up and took a look, and shouted: "It's not good, it's a horse team, everyone is on guard." Then he shouted into the darkness: "Wherever the men and horses go, do not go forward, but if you go forward, open your bow and arrows." ”

The two officers drew their bows and faced the men.

Li Zicheng looked at Liu Zongmin, Liu Zongmin understood, and shouted: "Don't get me wrong, we were sent by Lord Hong, look at how your guards are here!" The Bai general manager didn't eat this, and shouted: "Stop immediately, wait until I send someone to check the flying fire ticket, and then come closer, otherwise you're welcome......

It turned out that this person was very delicate, and when he saw this group of people coming, he did not light torches, so he was suspicious.

Liu Zongmin replied: "Okay, the flying fire ticket is here......"

As he spoke, he opened his bow and set up an arrow, and an arrow flew out, hitting the head of the hundred generals. The hundred always screamed and fell backwards. Before the archers behind him could understand, Li Zicheng, Tian Jianxiu, Li Guo, and Gao Yigong's arrows arrived and shot the two archers to the ground.

Then Li Zicheng shouted, pulled out the flower horse sword, and led everyone to pounce.

Seeing that the situation was not good, one of the sentry commanders immediately took out the flag flower letter cannon from his bosom, lit it on the fire, and threw it into the air.

I saw a bright light fly more than ten zhang high, and then exploded in the air, bursting out meteor-like fireworks, illuminating the earth. At this time, Li Zicheng had already arrived in front of him, raised a sword in his hand, and slashed his head out.

The remaining more than 30 officers and soldiers saw Li Zicheng's outfit clearly at this moment, and there were already two people in their army, Mr. Qi and the Great Heavenly King, who had already surrendered, and gave a detailed introduction to Li Zicheng's body and appearance, clothing and weapons, so almost all the officers and soldiers knew what Li Zicheng was wearing, and he dressed as a common man during the day, so he could hide from the officials and soldiers, but when he put on his own battle clothes, he couldn't escape the eyes of the officials and soldiers, especially the quiver with vermilion lacquer and gold, which was even more conspicuous in the firelight.

These officers and soldiers shouted one after another: "The thief is coming, the thief is coming, the leader is Li Chuang himself, don't let him escape, catch Li Chuang, and the official will be promoted to the third level ......"

As soon as the letter cannon sounded, there was a shouting sound in the barracks on the side, and in the blink of an eye, a group of officers and soldiers rushed out, and these people just arrived outside the camp gate, and they heard the shouts in front of them, saying that Li Chuang himself was here, and these officers and soldiers were overjoyed, and they rushed up one by one across their horses and waved their knives, as if they were not dying, and wanted to capture Li Zicheng alive.

At this time, Li Zicheng and his party had already rushed away from the officers and troops at the head of the bridge and rushed onto the bridge.

Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin stayed at the back, two bows, and kept shooting at the official army. The officers and soldiers who rushed out of the camp did not let go of arrows in order to catch them alive, but held their shields one by one, protected their bodies, and pounced on them with shouts.

Li Zicheng shot down several horses one after another, slowing down the offensive of the official army, and then he shouted: "Jiexuan, go quickly." ”

The two of them rode away and galloped in the direction of Tongguan. There were about 100 officers and soldiers behind, including 70 or 80 cavalrymen, who were in hot pursuit, and at this time they were afraid that they would escape, and they couldn't care much more, so they opened their bows and arrows one after another.

Fortunately, it was dark at this time, the officers and soldiers were not accurate, and many arrows flew around everyone, Li Shuangxi and Gu Kecheng, Gao Yigong was hit by an arrow, but he was not injured at the critical point, and these three people did not pull out the arrows, gritted their teeth and urged the horses to gallop.

After Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin broke off in person, his strong bow was too powerful, so that the officials and soldiers did not dare to get too close, but these people knew that Li Zicheng was in front of them, so they were willing to rest.
