Chapter 188, One Soldier 2

Li Zicheng groaned: "The Eight Kings and Cao Cao are reasonable, but the letter came from the people, and it was written by Mr. Zhang himself, after all, he is our life-saving benefactor, and he just said no, it is too much to refute the face of others. Tomorrow we will set up a warm tent twenty miles outside the city, and we will discuss there, first, to avoid our worries, and secondly, let's make the warm tent more luxurious, and it can be regarded as a favor. 【Latest chapter reading. It seems that we can do things. ”

Zhang Xianzhong grinned and said: "It's still a lot of ideas, I see it." ”

Luo Rucai said: "There are craftsmen in my camp, and the materials are also complete, so it is not troublesome. ”

Gao Yingxiang nodded: "I'll reply to King Qin and tell him what we mean." ”

After a short time, Gao Yingxiang wrote a reply and handed it over to someone to bring back. King Qin received the reply, opened it and looked at it, he couldn't help but sneer secretly, he handed the letter to Zhang Yi and others to read, and then said: "This group of people is not very relieved of my Qin army." ”

Li Yan said with a smile: "I must not worry, especially Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, they have been fooled by Fan Ju, so it is inevitable to be careful." ”

Wang Jian said: "King, they want to set up a warm tent outside the city, please go and discuss, once they cheat, what can they do?" Let's be on guard. ”

Li Yan shook his head lightly: "I don't think so, they have received the materials of our Qin army, and there are right ministers who have saved their lives, how can they cheat?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "This should also be guarded against, they have deceived the officials and soldiers more than once, and our hearts are like this, we must also be foolproof." ”

Zhang Yi is Zhang Yi after all, counting this life, he has been cheating for two lifetimes, and he is very thoughtful, he has always calculated others, and no one can calculate him. Zhang Yi is never moved by emotion or righteousness, and he only looks at benefits and effects in everything.

In case Gao Yingxiang and others coveted the treasures and food of Xi'an City, and really set up an ambush outside the city to kill the King of Qin, then the Qin army would immediately be leaderless and fall apart. This consequence, he had already thought of. Li Yan is still a teenager, although he has a strategy, he is deeply influenced by Confucianism, and the idea of benevolence and righteousness is concentrated in his heart, so he is not as thoughtful as Zhang Yi.

After some discussion, everyone finally decided to agree with what Gao Yingxiang said in his letter, and let the peasant army set up a warm tent 20 miles outside the city as the venue for the conference. Secretly send people to pay close attention to the movements of the peasant army, and report it immediately as soon as there is a movement of large groups of men and horses.

The King of Qin was going to go in person, and in addition to him, Li Yan and Zhang Yi were all with him, and another person was escorted by a thousand cavalry. The King of Qin wore a ceremonial dress and soft armor on the outside, and Li Dang carefully selected four Qin soldiers with strong martial arts, and they did not leave an inch. At this time, Li Dang had been re-promoted to general because of his meritorious service in welcoming the peasant army.

These alone are not enough, in order to prevent the peasant army from suddenly attacking the city while the meeting is in session, Wang Jian personally guarded the town, all the gates were closed, the suspension bridge was hung high, and the entire Qin army was like a great enemy, ready for battle.

Everything was arranged, and early the next morning, the king of Qin came out of the city in a carriage, escorted by a thousand cavalry, and came south.

At this time, the peasant army has been twenty miles south of the city, set up a warm tent, this warm tent is high and wide, three zhang high, twenty steps in diameter, on the top of the tent stands a big banner, the tent is all made of precious animal skins, the tent is covered with tiger skin blankets, and there are more than a dozen big chairs. In addition, there are four charcoal trays in the tent, which are placed in the four corners, and in a short time, the tent is as warm as spring.

At this time, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others had already arrived, and everyone stood together, waiting for the arrival of King Qin.

These people also brought hundreds of men and horses as escorts, and it seems that both sides are tacit, you are prepared, and so am I.

Just after the hour, the men and horses of the Qin army arrived.

The leader was Shehuai who led a hundred cavalry, came to the outside of the tent, saw Gao Yingxiang and others, everyone dismounted and waited, and after a while, the carriage of the King of Qin came to the front.

Li Yan and Zhang Yi rode horses, both following left and right.

Zhang Yi dismounted, stepped forward to lift the curtain, and asked King Qin to get out of the car. When King Qin walked down, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng's hearts shook at the same time.

This is the first time they have seen the King of Qin, at this time the King of Qin is wearing a black robe, embroidered with a bird rising to the sun, wearing a crown on his head, twelve strings of pearls, shining in the sun, a jade belt around his waist, looking at his face, but seeing thin eyebrows and long eyes, bee quasi-high cheeks, a grim expression, not angry and self-assured. It's a king's style.

The two of them looked at Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai beside them, but saw that Zhang Luo and Luo both looked indifferent.

When the king of Qin came to everyone, several peasant soldiers saluted the king of Qin with their plates, and the king of Qin returned the salute. And Li Dang and Shehuai and other Qin troops were uneven. According to their thoughts, when these grass cowards saw the King of Qin, they had to kowtow and bow down, but they didn't know that these people just arched their hands and passed, which was really rude.

In fact, it's no wonder that you are in charge of the plate, most of them are from reckless backgrounds and do not understand etiquette. In addition, after the flag was pulled and the rebellion was made, even the emperor of the dynasty was not taken seriously, let alone the peers who rebelled together?

King Qin naturally didn't blame, he knew that the Qin army needed these people very much at the moment, and as for etiquette, it was a trivial matter, so he didn't have to care.

Everyone entered the big tent together, Gao Yingxiang finally saw some of the world, and invited King Qin to sit down. King Qin pushed a few words and sat down. A few people were invited to sit down on both sides of the plate, and Zhang Yi and Li Yan sat down.

Gao Yingxiang sent someone to bring tea, and everyone just said a few words, and put the conversation on the topic, after all, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were chasing after here, and there was not much time to talk about it.

Zhang Yi stood up, walked to the middle, and arched his hand to a few palms: "King Chuang, a few leaders, let's not talk about it, the king of my family invited you to Xi'an this time, in order to discuss the plan." You are all from Shaanxi, let's talk about it. Whether we can gain a foothold in Shaanxi this time depends on whether we can unite as one and jointly fight against the official army. ”

Gao Yingxiang said: "King Qin's good intentions, how can we not know?" Mr. Zhang once saved the lives of tens of thousands of my righteous soldiers, and now that he is in Xi'an, everything is arranged by the King of Qin. We have nothing to disobey. ”

Zhang Yi shook his hand again and again: "King Chuang is too polite, we are fighting together, and there is no main cluster." According to the report, Hong Chengchou has received the will of the Ming Court to join forces with Lu Xiangsheng to attack us under the city of Xi'an. In recent days, Hong Chengchou has stepped up training of men and horses, built military weapons, replenished the source of troops, and put on a decisive battle posture. Lu Xiangsheng is also pressing forward from the south, and it seems that they are going to attack from the north and south. ”

Luo Rucai snorted: "Last time we were under the city of Xi'an, we suffered a big defeat, and this time we can finally take revenge." It's just that there are many family members in my righteous army, and they usually rely on the deep mountains and valleys to settle the old camp, this time in the Guanzhong Plain, there is no danger to rely on, is it to ask the king of Qin to do a favor, let the family members of my righteous army go into the city to avoid it, so as not to start a war, and the soldiers are worried. ”

King Qin thought for a while: "Naturally, you can." There are many people in the city of Xi'an, and if there are not enough houses, the king can temporarily build some tents to house them. As for food and clothing, it is all provided by our Qin army, so there is no need to worry. ”

Luo Rucai glanced at each other with several palms, and they all bowed their hands together: "So, thank you King Qin." ”

Li Yan said: "This time, tens of thousands of our horses gathered in Guanzhong, the Ming Court must attach great importance to it, not to mention Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng at the moment, the court will definitely increase its troops." In this case, our pressure is too great, and the younger generation has an idea, and please make a decision. ”

Gao Yingxiang smiled: "Li Gongzi has any ideas, just say, don't be polite, we are a family." ”

Li Yan said: "The rebels in the world, in addition to you, there are many groups of people, I hope that King Chuang will write a letter to them, so that these rebels can make a noise in Henan, Shanxi, Shandong and other places, so that they can also contain the Ming army and horses, so that they dare not press all the main forces on our heads." ”

Gao Yingxiang was very much in agreement: "Li Gongzi is far-sighted, this plan is really wonderful." In addition to our few rebel armies, Henan and Huguang also have the Gezuo battalions, breaking through the sky and shooting the sky, the sky is full of stars, together, there are no less than two or three hundred thousand people, I will write a letter in a while, let them do a lot on the ground of the Central Plains. ”

Li Yan arched his hand: "That's very good." ”

Zhang Xianzhong shouted: "Now it's time to discuss, how do we deal with the two old enemies of Hong Chengchou and King Lu Yan." ”

Since Lu Xiang was promoted to the governor of the six provinces, he has fought a lot of battles with the peasant army in Henan, winning more and losing less, and his Tianxiong army is extremely powerful, all fierce and abnormal, stalking and fighting, extremely ruthless, generally do not leave a living mouth, and the Tianxiong army fights, extremely uncomfortable, as long as this team catches up with you, it is not easy to get rid of it, and if you don't die, you have to lose your skin. Therefore, the peasant army called Lu Xiangsheng the king of Lu Yan.

Li Zicheng said at this time: "Since they want to attack from the north and south, we have no choice but to meet the enemy from the north and south, and we must not retreat into the city, it is a place of self-defeat, and we must go out of the city to fight." ”

Li Yan nodded: "General Li Chuang is right, at this time, Hong Chengchou has no deadline for attacking the city, once we withdraw into the city, the officers and troops will gather heavy troops and besiege them layer by layer, and we will be trapped to death after a year." Therefore, it is necessary to go out of the city to meet the attack, and it is best to defeat one of the two first, and then defeat the other together. ”

Zhang Yi said: "If we divide our troops to meet the enemy, we must estimate the number of people. At present, my Qin army has more than 10,000 people and 3,000 horse army. ”

Gao Yingxiang thought for a while and said: "In this way, I will lead the people and horses of the department, together with the Qin army, to resist Lu Xiangsheng, and I will join forces with Zhang Luo to meet Hong Chengchou, what does the King of Qin want?" ”

King Qin looked at Li Yan, and Li Yan nodded slightly.

Gao Yingxiang's arrangement was actually very considerate of the Qin army, because Li Zicheng's army was the most capable unit in the peasant army, although the number was not the largest, but the most powerful. Lu Xiangsheng came with momentum, murderous, and only the most capable troops could stop it.
