Li Zicheng defeated Nanyang, and this defeat was mainly due to the fact that when he was besieging Kaifeng City, he was injured in his left eye by an arrow.

The person who shot him now he has figured it out, that is, Kaifeng guard general Chen Yongfu, this person worships Kaifeng general soldiers, and he is an old opponent, when Li Zicheng attacked Luoyang, Chen Yongfu was still Kaifeng's deputy general, he led troops to aid Luoyang, Li Zicheng took advantage of Kaifeng's emptiness to wave Kaifeng, Chen Yongfu hurried back to Kaifeng.

After Li Zicheng took Luoyang, he opened the seal again, he took the lead in commanding the siege, unfortunately hit an arrow, which led to the great rout of the whole army, and was chased out by the official army for hundreds of miles, Luoyang could not go back, so he was defeated back to Nanyang.

Li Zicheng's arrow has now been removed, but this eye has also been permanently blinded, and Li Zicheng and his generals have remembered the name Chen Yongfu.

Inside Nanyang City. Li Zicheng convened the generals and was discussing countermeasures.

Now the main generals under Li Zicheng are here, Zhang Nai's double happiness will not be said, there are also Li Zicheng's wife Gao Guiying, generals Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Gao Yigong, Tian Jianxiu, Bai Minghe, Lan Yingcheng, Dang Shousu, Liu Tichun, etc. In addition, there are Li Zicheng's three strategists, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and Li Yan.

In addition, there are Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying, He Jin, and Liu Xiyao, who are the leaders of the third battalion in the fifth battalion of the Gezuo. These three are also old revolutionaries, and now they are under the command of Zhang Xianzhong and have become important generals of Li Zicheng's group, because they are now surrendering, not cooperating, so they don't dare to call this king and that king in front of Li Zicheng, or where will Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang?

Don't look at Li Zicheng's defeat, there are still nearly 200,000 horses under his command, and there are many talents and strength.

But now that they are in Nanyang, there is a problem that has to be discussed, that is, the question of how to fight the next battle, and now Li Zicheng's injury has been stabilized, except for the remaining eye, the arrow wound has no effect on him. The Chuang Wang Sword is still able to take the enemy's head in the army of 10,000 horses.

Sun Chuanting's men and horses were chasing in a hurry, and they had already passed Pingding Mountain, and their soldiers were divided into two roads, one had reached Nanzhao, and the other had reached Fangcheng.

There were officers and soldiers in front again, and they were their great enemies, Lin Yi's men and horses had already passed through Xiangyang and entered Henan, the situation was also relatively grim for them, if they were trapped in Nanyang City by the officers and soldiers, the consequences would be unimaginable.

When Li Zicheng thinks of Lin Yi now, he feels a pain in his brain, especially when he thinks of the defeat of Nanyang back then, the clever plan he came up with with and meditated, and the generals who can fight are all used, but all of this is vulnerable in front of Lin Yi, and it is the person who killed him, and it is the money that blackmailed him, how can that one be a tragic word? In the end, he was left with 18 horses, hiding in the mountains and not daring to come out, and Qinling became his second Shangluo Mountain.

In the past two years, every time he thought about that battle, he shuddered. And not only did he suffer a fiasco, he heard that Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king, also suffered a fiasco, the defeat of Xiangyang and the defeat of Jingzhou. It seems that Lin Yi is their nemesis.

Now this nemesis is here again, Li Zicheng, who has been defeated and defeated repeatedly, is now a little powerless, and his confidence seems to be shaken, although Sun Chuanting is powerful, he really doesn't put it in his eyes, but he doesn't dare to be proud of this Lin Yi at all.

This is also an important reason why he summoned all his main generals and strategists together to discuss the matter, and such a large-scale military meeting is still rare.

Li Zicheng asked everyone to express their opinions, some advocated going east, some advocated going west, some advocated fighting Sun Chuanting in the north, some advocated fighting Lin Yi in the south, and some advocated dividing troops to resist the enemy, and fighting to the death with the officers and troops in the Nanyang area.

Li Zicheng bowed slightly and didn't make a statement, but he listened to these opinions, and he was also thinking about it in his heart, what he valued most was the opinions of the three think tanks, and Niu Jinxing spoke first.

"King Chuang, as seen by someone else, should give the officers and soldiers a blow here, where can we go, no matter where the officers and soldiers will chase them, besides, we are not unable to beat them, this time we have planned to retreat, and now that the injury of King Chuang is also healed, we should teach these officials a good lesson."

Li Zicheng nodded, feeling that Niu Jinxing's words had a certain amount of truth, and said, "How to play in the opinion of the gentleman?"

Niu Jinxing's face was positive, he stroked his goatee, thought about it, and then shook his head and said: "King Chuang, we now have 200,000 horses, and there are countless generals who can fight habitually, compared to Sun Chuanting's subordinates, Gao Jie, Niu Chenghu, Li Yongfu, Zhu Dadian, Tiger David, etc., these people are all brave people, although they have taken a Zuo Liangyu, but there are still no less than 80,000 men and horses, and the strength is quite strong." And Lin Yi in our south is different, at best there are only 50,000 horses, we should go south, avoid its main force, and fight its weakness. ”

Li Zicheng is quite attached to Niu Jinxing, this is the first think tank he encountered when he came out of Shangluo Mountain, to be precise, from Qinling. This person is erudite and talented, knows astronomy, geography, and knows the art of war in the middle.

Niu Jinxing was also unexpected, and gave Li Zicheng a lot of useful strategies, such as suggesting that Li Zicheng should be tortured and killed, help the hungry, and collect people's hearts, which Li Zicheng adopted, which made Li Zicheng grow rapidly, occupy Nanyang, attack Luoyang, and open the seal, Niu Jinxing contributed a lot.

And Niu Jinxing's biggest credit is to recommend another strategist to Li Zicheng, that is, Song Xiance, who is talented and rich in eight buckets.

But after listening to Niu Jinxing's words today, Li Zicheng drew a lot of question marks in his heart, it is said that Niu Jinxing's main force to avoid the enemy and fight his weakness, this kind of combat strategy is too correct, there is no problem at all, and Li Zicheng is also very much in favor of it.

But today's opponent is Lin Yi, and Li Zicheng feels that Niu Jinxing's plan is inappropriate, in other words, Li Zicheng would rather fight with Sun Chuanting than with Lin Yi. I don't know if it's because I lost two battles and really became a frightened bird. Or he was scared by Lin Yi, anyway, he was a little stunned when he mentioned fighting Lin Yi now.

But this mentality must not be shown, so Li Zicheng did not express his position, although Niu Jinxing was very eager for his strategy to be affirmed by Li Zicheng, to be honest, Niu Jinxing really didn't take Lin Yi in his eyes. It's not that he hasn't heard of Lin Yi's fame, on the contrary, in Li Zicheng's military camp, Lin Yi has been quietly rumored to be a god of war-level figure.

Niu Jinxing is also eager to win a battle against Lin Yi, which can not only boost morale, but also improve his reputation. He had been longing for such an opportunity for a long time, and today it finally came.

But seeing that King Chuang didn't seem to have made up his mind in this formation, he felt a little puzzled, could he have said something wrong?

At this time, Li Zicheng's eyes looked at Song Xiance, "What about Mr. Song's opinion?" ”

Song Xiance is completely different from Niu Jinxing, Niu Jinxing was born tall and big, dressed in a long shirt, and his heart is high, like a teacher. And Song Xiance, who is black, short and thin, is given the name Song Short by outsiders, which should be similar to the appearance of the sketch actor Song Xiaobao in later generations.

Seeing Li Zicheng ask him, Song Xiance did not speak in a hurry, but cleaned his hands, and asked Li Zicheng to clean his hands, and then asked Li Zicheng to draw lots and calculate a hexagram for Li Zicheng.

Song Xiance is not only highly educated, he is proficient in divination.

Li Zicheng handed the drawn lottery to Song Xiance, Song Xiance took the lottery and looked at it for a while, frowned, and shook his head uncontrollably, "King Chuang, it's not good, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, from the hexagram, King Chuang has recently had two bloody disasters, one is in the north, the other is in the south, King Chuang is in Kaifeng, this bloody disaster is over, but there is another time, please pay attention to King Chuang, it is not appropriate to go south at this time." ”

When Song Xiance said this, all the generals present were shocked.

Because Song Xiance has not joined them for a long time, it is now more than half a year at most. Many people don't care about this Song dwarf at all, especially those famous generals, like Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi, etc., think that the surname Song is just grandstanding and bewitching the public. But listening to him say this today, there are also some four-six styles.

Because before this attack on Kaifeng, Li Zicheng fought Kaifeng a total of three times in history, and this is the second time, Song Xiance once gave Li Zicheng a hexagram, saying that he had a bloody disaster.

Li Zicheng and the others didn't believe it, they just laughed it off, but they didn't expect it to come true.

In the stunned eyes of everyone, Li Zicheng nodded approvingly, "Then in Mr.'s opinion, should we go east, west or north?" ”

Song Xiance didn't tell the hexagram again this time, according to his words, the heavenly secret cannot be revealed, and frequent hexagram telling will not work.

"King Chuang, Song watched the sky last night and found that there was an imperial atmosphere in the west."

Li Zicheng laughed, "Hahaha, just according to Mr., pass on my order, the army is going west, but there are two tails behind, which commander is willing to break the back?" ”

Li Zicheng asked twice, but no one answered, and Li Zicheng's face showed displeasure.

At this time, Liu Zongmin spoke, "King Chuang, whoever you let break will be broken, you are King Chuang, why did you ask about us, so you directly ordered it." ”

The soldiers under him said: "Yes, please give the order of King Chuang."

Seeing that all the generals said so, and they were all here, Li Zicheng had no choice but to divide his troops and send generals. He asked the general Liu Zongmin to lead 5,000 men and horses to open the way in front, and asked Li Guo and Liu Fangliang to bring 10,000 men and horses each to block Sun Chuanting's two roads of men and horses. Then the fourth order was sent to Lao Hui Ma Shouying, and asked him to take He Jin and Liu Xiyao to lead the headquarters of more than 10,000 people to block Lin Yi's men and horses to the south, and the three-way army to maintain Li Zicheng's main force and march westward.

Of course, Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, and Liu Fangliang had no opinions, and they all accepted the order with indignation, but some people in Ma Shouying's third battalion were unhappy.

"Break the king and ...... slowly"

Li Zicheng was just about to announce the dissolution of the account and let the generals go down to prepare, without further ado, the military nobles were fast, I didn't expect someone to come with such a voice, who is this?

Li Zicheng took a closer look, and it turned out that it was He Jin who was speaking.

Of course Li Zicheng recognized him, this He Jin is a battalion of the fifth battalion of the left of the revolution, the fifth battalion of the left is actually five peasant armies in one together called the fifth battalion of the left of the left, by the old Hui Ma Shouying, the eye of the leather He Yilong, the king of the left gold He Jin, the king of the reincarnation, and the king of the troubled times, the king of the world Liu Xiyao, the king of the troubled times Lin cultivated, these five more famous rebel army at that time, together the strength is stronger, once with the time Gao Yingxiang, Wang Ziyong and others cooperated, transferred to several provinces.

Now only Ma Huihui, Liu Xiyao, He Jin these three battalions, they used to cooperate with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and later surrendered Zhang Xianzhong, and now they surrendered Li Zicheng, He Jin is known as Zuo Jin King, and there are more than 3,000 horses under his command, and the strength is also considerable.

Li Zicheng was a little unhappy when he spoke.
