Chapter 203: Li Zicheng's Decision (First Update, Ask for Subscription, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
Zuo Guangxian is not from the old eighth team, and he can't even take refuge halfway.
He was once a fierce general under the command of Ming Governor Sun Chuanting, fought against the peasant army many times, and fought with Li Zicheng many times.
Later, Sun Chuanting went out of the customs and died in a decisive battle with Li Zicheng, and Zuo Guangxian surrendered to Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng, the general of the Ming court, was naturally afraid of this, and did not entrust Zuo Guangxian with a heavy responsibility.
Unexpectedly, when it was in danger, it was Zuo Guang who took the lead in proposing to break through.
This made Li Zicheng's face a little unbearable.
Li Zicheng glanced at Liu Tichun, Yuan Zongdi and others, and said in a deep voice: "Breaking through is a matter for the whole army, Zuo Qing invited himself to be the vanguard, and I am very relieved." However, it is still necessary for the three armies to use their lives together. ”
After Li Zicheng said this, it was tantamount to setting a tone, and if anyone objected again, it would be a little impossible to say.
After all, Li Zicheng is no longer the king of Chuang back then, but the emperor of Dashun, and he has no jokes.
Now that the decision has been made to break out, the most important thing is to make a plan.
Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others ran away, and Gu Junen was nowhere to be seen, so Li Zicheng had to discuss the breakthrough plan with Tian Jianxiu, who was better at strategy.
Tian Jianxiu suggested that Li Zicheng send a partial division to attract the attention of the Qing army, so that the main force would retreat from another direction.
The advantage of this plan is that it can buy the main force enough time to break through. But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the detachment that attracted the Qing army is in a very dangerous situation and is likely to be surrounded by the Qing army.
This is extremely unfair to the leading generals and the soldiers under their command.
Fang Cai Zuo Guang invited himself to be a pioneer first, and Li Zi could get off the donkey at the same time. But he felt that it was too ugly to look at it like this, so he asked Tian Jianxiu if there was any other way.
Tian Mixiu pondered for a moment and proposed a middle strategy.
That is to lead the main force to forcibly break through.
In this way, even if the Qing army wanted to block it, it would be impossible to stop all the Shun troops, at least it could ensure that Li Zicheng broke through successfully.
This choice meant that a considerable part of the Shun army had to be sacrificed. But at least it's fair to all, life or death is up to fate.
Li Zicheng was silent again.
This battle has been fought so far, and the soldiers and horses in his hands have lost seventy-seven eighty-eight. If you lose more soldiers, you will have even fewer soldiers to use.
Li Zicheng is now the emperor after all, and he can no longer just pull up a few people and start fighting like a rogue.
It is necessary to ensure that there is a loyal soldier under his command.
Only in this way can those reckless generals be subdued.
Others Li Zicheng don't know, Hao Shaoqi has never been peaceful.
If Li Zicheng only has a 10,000-strong army in his hands, it is inevitable that people like Hao Shaoqi will have thoughts of inconsistencies.
Li Zicheng had just begun to learn the Emperor's Mind Technique, but he found that the water inside was very deep.
"Is there any other way?"
Li Zicheng frowned and asked.
Tian Jianxiu sighed and said: "Then I pretended to be a villager hunter and withdrew from the mountain sporadically." Wait until you succeed in getting out of the mountain, and then gather together. ”
This is clearly the way to go.
Li Zicheng shook his head again and again after hearing this.
Now is the time when the hearts of the people are disheartened, and there is a risk that the team will split at any time when they are together, and it is a joke to try to get together again if they are scattered.
This strategy must not be adopted.
Li Zicheng didn't want to lie dormant in the nest of Jiugong Mountain. So he can only choose the best strategy or the middle strategy.
After thinking about it, Li Zicheng still chose the best policy.
This choice was the most beneficial to preserve the strength of the remaining army, and Li Zicheng could not gamble with the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers.
Li Zicheng pondered for a moment and ordered: "Let's bother Fang Liang and Guang to go to the front mountain to lead away the main force of the Tartars." ”
Liu Fangliang and Zuo Guangxian hugged their fists and took their lives.
Needless to say, Zuo Guang will be a pioneer before. As for Liu Fangliang, he is also a kind of fierce general.
After the defeat of a stone, it was Liu Fangliang who let the Shun army evacuate safely.
With his personality, it is only fitting that he accomplishes this task of luring the enemy.
"The rest of the generals will withdraw from Jiugong Mountain from the back mountain together with me."
Li Zicheng returned to that confident state, and the order was unquestionable.
...
...
"Hmph, this Jiugong Mountain is really a poor mountain and bad water, and I can't even see a bird after walking for almost ten miles."
Wei Cunliang, a soldier of the green battalion, scolded and scolded, and his expression was extremely depressed.
The army was stationed in the front mountain, burying pots and cooking with water, but they could not find a water source. Only then did the commander send people to look for water, and Wei Cunliang was one of them.
Like most of the soldiers in the Green Battalion, Wei Cunliang was originally a member of the Shanxi Border Army, under the command of Jiang Yang's General Army.
Later, Li Zicheng fought in Shanxi, Jiang Zongbing surrendered, and everyone turned into a Shun army.
Later, the Eight Banners of Manchuria came over, and Jiang Zongbing did not hesitate to shave his hair and reduce his hair. Naturally, everyone also followed the shaving and surrendered.
In their opinion, this is not fundamentally different from the previous surrenders, it is nothing more than shaving their hair.
The people are still those people, but the name of the army has changed to the Green Battalion Army again.
This time, the Manchurian prince Azig transferred all the Green Battalion troops in Datong to attack northern Shaanxi, and later took them all the way to Henan and Huguang.
Everyone is about to break their legs, but they don't get much credit.
Wei Cunliang is really fed up these days.
The mountain road is really difficult to walk, it is all mud, and it is one foot deep and one foot shallow when you walk up.
Wei Cunliang simply walked to a big rock and fell asleep.
Damn, let's sleep Meimei first, and then talk about it, so much gossip. Without him looking for water, wouldn't he be able to find water?
Wei Cunliang closed his eyes and sleepwalked in Zhou Gong.
I don't know how long I slept, Wei Cunliang faintly heard footsteps, he subconsciously woke up, and his body rolled to the ground.
He lay beneath the stones, revealing only one pair of eyes into the forest.
Gradually, out of the dense forest, the gray-faced soldiers came out, and they knew that they had been nesting in the mountains for a while.
The soldiers on Jiugong Mountain are definitely not the Ming army, and these people have not shaved their heads, let alone the Qing army.
Then there is only one possibility left, these soldiers belong to the Shun army!
Oh, my God!
Wei Cunliang was shocked by his discovery.
He should now go back and report this important news to his own Qianzong.
Wei Cunliang immediately sneaked to the other side, but he didn't happen to take a few steps before he tripped over a stone and fell into the mud.
This movement obviously attracted the attention of the soldiers of the Shun army, and they all walked in the direction where Wei Cunliang was.
Wei Cunliang was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, lying on the ground motionless.
After half a cup of tea, the footsteps suddenly disappeared.
Only then did Wei Cunliang dare to open his eyes and poke out half of his head to look.
Everyone has already left, and Wei Cunliang's luck is really good. If one person takes a few more steps forward, Wei Cunliang will be exposed, and even pretending to be dead will not help.
After walking away from the ghost gate, Wei Cunliang didn't dare to delay any longer and ran in the direction of the camp.
