Li Zicheng finally decided to take a desperate gamble, and not only did Xi'an's plan not be canceled, but he also accelerated the pace of implementation, ordering that the city gate should be started before the city gates were closed in the evening of the same day.

On the other hand, those bandits who frequently harassed the Shaanxi border also cooperated with Xi'an's plan under his orders. All of them were dispatched at the same time, successfully attracting the attention of the Dongjiang Army and adding great convenience to Xi'an's plan.

Li Zicheng himself immediately gathered 50,000 troops and rushed to Shuangzhou Mansion, preparing to drag Mao Wenlong down. He absolutely believed that once Mao Wenlong learned of the chaos in Xi'an, he would definitely retreat immediately, and the danger here would be self-defeating.

Careful planning and good luck made Li Zicheng's things go very smoothly, and everything went according to his expectations.

Mao Wenlong really didn't expect Li Zicheng to dare to attack Xi'an's idea, and after he attacked and captured Shuangzhou City, he has been standing still, waiting for Li Zicheng's reaction.

In the final analysis, Mao Wenlong's troops could not divide their troops to attack other cities on Li Zicheng's territory. Moreover, his original intention was just to test Li Zicheng to see if Hong Chengchou's conjecture was correct, and whether those damn bandits were Li Zicheng's subordinates.

However, judging from the latest situation, those elusive bandits seem to have nothing to do with Li Zicheng's side. Mao Wenlong has been paying close attention to Li Zicheng's every move since he conquered Shuangzhou City.

When he learned that Li Zicheng was learning about the situation in Shuangzhou Mansion, he immediately organized an army of 50,000 to rush at full speed. When the bandits on the Shaanxi border not only did not stop, but began to attack the remote villages of Shaanxi on a large scale, Mao Wenlong began to hesitate.

Chen Jisheng and Xu Fuzhuo's ideas were obviously different from Mao Wenlong's, and they both believed that this could also be regarded as Li Zicheng fighting on both sides. It's the purpose of trying to use those bandits' subordinates to cover up that he is behind the scenes.

"Chief soldier, according to the current situation, it is not certain whether Li Zicheng is manipulating those bandits behind the scenes, so we should continue to test it, and we can't just give up." Chen Jisheng persuaded Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong was still hesitant, because if he made a mistake, it was very likely that those damn bandits would take advantage of it. And judging from various subtle clues, if Li Zicheng was wronged, then it is very likely that these bandits are a brand new force, and their purpose is likely to be to have Mao Wenlong and Li Zicheng fight?

Shaking his head, Mao Wenlong sighed lightly: "At present, we have too few clues, and we don't fully understand the whole thing, so it's really hard to make an arbitrary decision." ”

Chen Jisheng saw the worry in Mao Wenlong's heart, and he said indifferently: "General soldier, our Dongjiang Army is not as good as in the past, and the villains only dare to hide in the dark to make the wind and rain." For this kind of person, our Dongjiang army does not need to be afraid, not to mention that it is those bandits who dare not fight us head-on, which also proves that they know that they are not the opponent of our Dongjiang army, so there is no need to worry too much at all. ”

Mao Wenlong nodded after hearing this, and agreed with Chen Jisheng's analysis, Xi'an is now completely under the coverage of the Dongjiang Army, and is not afraid of any forces. Thinking of this, Mao Wenlong also made a decision in his heart, and he made a decision in a loud voice: "Then we will meet Li Zicheng and see how he reacts before making a decision." ”

"The general soldier is wise, then I will go to deploy defense now and wait for Li Zicheng's arrival." Chen Jisheng breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly persuaded Mao Wenlong to stay in his heart.

Two days later, the 50,000 army led by Li Zicheng came to the city as scheduled, and to Mao Wenlong's surprise, Li Zicheng was not in a hurry to fight. Since he led the army to arrive in Shuangzhou Mansion, he began to set up camp, as if he was going to plan to spend a long time.

Chen Jisheng and Mao Wenlong stood on the tower of the city, condescendingly watching Li Zicheng's army encamped a mile away. Chen Jisheng said disdainfully: "Chief soldier, why don't you let me lead the brothers of the cavalry battalion to harass him first." ”

Mao Wenlong glanced at Chen Jisheng, and the meaning of the warning was very strong: "You stay honest with me, without my orders, if you dare to come nonsense, you will not be spared." ”

was reprimanded by Mao Wenlong, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Chen Jisheng's face, and he amused Xu Fuxuan on the side.

Xu Fusheng has always been dragged down by Chen Jisheng's character, and every time he fights with him, Chen Jisheng always rushes up to fight first. And the logistics and other matters of the army were ignored, and they were directly thrown to Xu Fuju to take care of.

This is not the style of a coach at all, and as a commander, he should stay behind and command the battle. Chen Jisheng completely turned it upside down, so every time he made Xu Fuyu very passive.

Now that it's okay, he was reprimanded by Mao Wenlong, and Xu Fuzuo hoped that Chen Jisheng would be able to restrain himself a little.

It's a pity that Chen Jisheng obviously doesn't have a long memory, and after his proposal was rejected by Mao Wenlong, he still didn't give up, and immediately said again: "Chief soldier, then we can't just spend it with Li Zicheng, right?" ”

Mao Wenlong's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said coldly: "Whoever tells you that I won't do anything." ”

Regardless of Chen Jisheng, who was full of depression, Mao Wenlong turned around and looked at Xu Fuzuo: "You immediately lead the cavalry battalion to battle, remember, it's good to harass you, in short, act when you have the opportunity." ”

"Yes, Commander!" Xu Fuju was very surprised, but he was satisfied, and it was finally his turn to fight.

In order to prevent Chen Jisheng from competing with him for the right to fight, Xu Fuzuo immediately turned around and left, running faster than a rabbit.

Chen Jisheng is very complaining, more resentful than a resentful woman, there has been no war recently, and his hands are itching. He finally saw the opportunity to fight, but he passed by himself like this, and he was very unhappy.

Mao Wenlong shook his head helplessly, Chen Jisheng's personality is like this, he is not born a qualified handsome talent, at most he can only be regarded as a fierce general. Mao Wenlong originally had the intention of cultivating Chen Jisheng to take charge of the military, but now it seems that he has to find someone else.

"Okay, don't put on a resentful face, you will be beaten in the future." Mao Wenlong patted Chen Jisheng on the shoulder, then turned to leave.

"Really? Don't lie to me. Chen Jisheng suddenly became happy, and followed Mao Wenlong down the city tower.

Xu Fuzuo led a battalion of 3,000 cavalry to leave the city soon, and Li Zicheng saw Mao Wenlong's side sending troops, so he immediately set up a formation to defend against the enemy, and the situation immediately became tense.

Ying Shanjian said with some concern: "King Chuang, it seems that Mao Wenlong will not consume with us!" ”

Li Zicheng frowned, and snorted coldly: "You immediately transfer troops from elsewhere, and you will trap Mao Wenlong here no matter what." ”

Ying Shanjian hesitated for a moment before giving up his hand and retreating.
