Chapter 465: Wind and Rain
Li Zicheng did not do much rest, the 100,000 rebel army was just a day's rest, and then the whole army pressed on, and raided Shijiazhuang, almost instantly, Shijiazhuang was completely captured by Li Zicheng's rebel army.
As soon as the news spread, the government and the opposition were shocked, and at first the imperial court thought that this was the revenge of the Dongjiang Army for the imperial court's attack on Anton Wei. But after investigation, Chongzhen found that this was not the case?
"Why did Li Zicheng suddenly arrive in Shijiazhuang, what is going on? Wu Chengen, I will give you three days to find out. Shocked and angry, Chongzhen was furious again in the imperial study.
Wu Chengen is also blind to this, and he doesn't know anything? However, Li Zicheng suddenly led a large army to raid Shijiazhuang, and it was menacing, and there was a great possibility that he would wave his army to continue to besiege Jingshi, and he did not dare to slack off, and immediately agreed, and sent many spies to find out the matter.
It only took two days for the spies to send back news one after another, and Wu Chengen quickly figured out Li Zicheng's wishes. He hurriedly reported to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, Li Zicheng's matter has been almost investigated, and now it is certain that his target for going north this time is Jingshi." ”
"Li Zicheng is coming to attack the Jingshi ......," Chongzhen was taken aback when he heard this.
"That's not right!"
After pondering, Chongzhen said suspiciously: "Li Zicheng is in Sichuan, if he wants to wave his army north, he must pass through Mao Wenlong's Shaanxi or Shanxi." But he went all the way, but he didn't see any reaction from Mao Wenlong, could it be that Mao Wenlong allowed Li Zicheng to do this? ”
Wu Chengen smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, this is not the case. According to the maidservant's understanding, Mao Wenlong because of the emergency situation in Shandong, he transferred troops from Shanxi and Shaanxi many times to relieve the siege. At present, the number of Dongjiang troops in Shaanxi and Shanxi is seriously insufficient, and they have retreated in various prefectures. They all kept a blind attitude towards the outside situation, and Li Zicheng took advantage of this to be able to come to Shijiazhuang quietly. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Chongzhen couldn't cry or laugh now.
It seems that everything is the bitter fruit of his own brewing, and if he hadn't launched a sneak attack on Anton Wei, none of this would have happened. But there is no regret medicine to eat in this world, and in the face of such a result, Chongzhen can only swallow it in his stomach even if he suffers.
Anton Wei suffered a serious defeat in the first battle, and Lu Xiangsheng's 30,000 soldiers and horses lost two-thirds of Andong Wei, but he still failed to capture the small Anton Wei. Although Chongzhen did not punish Lu Xiangsheng for the time being in order to take care of the overall situation, he still felt very aggrieved in his heart.
Hearing such bad news again at this moment, Chongzhen felt even more pessimistic. At present, the imperial court has leaked on all sides, and the army of Houjin has been stationed in Jiayuguan, and it is possible to wave the army directly to Beijing at any time.
Mao Wenlong was completely annoyed this time, and once the situation in Shandong stabilized, the imperial court would inevitably suffer strong retaliation from Mao Wenlong. At this time, Li Zicheng, who suddenly appeared, also joined the excitement.
The imperial court is isolated, and now it is in trouble again, and it can't last long. The people in the capital were panicked, not only were the people afraid of the situation in the capital division, but even those ministers of the court and the central government were not optimistic about the future of the imperial court.
Chongzhen already knew that there were many ministers in the court, who were already operating frequently in secret, seeking a way out for their family and himself.
Faced with such a situation, Chongzhen suddenly felt that Daming was not far from extinction.
"What should I do? Could it be that the sky is going to die, my Ming ......" Chongzhen looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.
Xi'an Maofu!
Mao Wenlong also learned for the first time that Li Zicheng suddenly attacked Shijiazhuang with a large army, and he succeeded in one blow, and now he has begun to wave his army to Zhending Mansion.
"This Li Zicheng still refuses to give up, does he think that as long as he defeats the Jingshi, the throne will really be his?" Mao Wenlong had a hint of doubt, he really didn't understand what Li Zicheng thought.
Hong Chengchou explained Mao Wenlong's confusion: "Don't the general soldiers know that once Li Zicheng defeats the Beijing Division, he can ascend the throne and become the emperor." Then he can recruit openly and honestly, and more importantly, he can take off the hat of the thief in the future and become the orthodox of the world. ”
Mao Wenlong said disdainfully: "What can you do if you become orthodox, now the Houjin army is pressing the border and has been stationed in Jiayu Pass." After Li Zicheng took the Beijing Division, could he call on the soldiers and horses from all over the world to come and resist the Houjin army? ”
"Not really."
A trace of distress flashed on Hong Chengchou's face, and he really wondered what Li Zicheng meant? Actually sent troops to attack the Beijing division at such a time?
Mao Wenlong saw that Hong Chengchou couldn't explain a reason, he shook his head and said indifferently: "Regardless of him, Li Zicheng likes to fish in troubled waters, let him touch it, anyway, he will never be able to become a climate." ”
After Hong Chengchou nodded in agreement, he asked Mao Wenlong again: "Is the general army still preparing to attack the Beijing division after Shandong stabilizes?" ”
Mao Wenlong snorted unceremoniously: "Not only do you want to attack the Jingshi, but even those Houjin soldiers will not let go." They had to be kicked out first. After temporarily driving these Houjin soldiers away from the Ming Dynasty, I will control the entire north, and it should be time to end the years of war in the north. ”
Hong Chengchou was overjoyed when he heard this, and after he learned of the strength of the Dongjiang Army, he had always intended to let Mao Wenlong start to send troops to fight. The war in the north was quelled, however, a series of unexpected circumstances prevented him from realizing this idea.
Now that Mao Wenlong himself said it, he was obviously in line with Hong Chengchou's intentions, and he said with a smile: "The general army has this plan, which is the blessing of the people in the north." Natural and man-made disasters in the north for many years, the people are miserable, if the general army has such ambition, Hong Chengchou is not willing to take the lead and serve the general army to serve the dogs and horses. ”
Mao Wenlong looked at Hong Chengchou with a serious face, and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and now that we have such strength, of course we must end the war as soon as possible." But of course, this road is not easy to walk, and I hope that the military advisor can help more. ”
Hong Chengchou laughed, after years of waiting, when he finally came to show his ambitions, his mood suddenly brightened.
At the same time, the Dongjiang armies of all roads also arrived in Shandong, and Andongwei's defense was stabilized. And the war in Yunzhou Mansion was also eased, and the Jin soldiers at this time also learned that they were fighting against the Dongjiang Army, not the Imperial Court Army.
Seeing the powerful Dongjiang Army, the Jin soldiers also began to withdraw from Yunzhou Mansion one after another, preparing to evacuate. However, the Dongjiang Army did not let the Jin soldiers leave easily, and began to carry out crazy pursuit and encirclement!
